Kim Byung-hyun's six strong innings were not enough for the Colorado Rockies.

The visiting Los Angeles Dodgers rallied to win 4-3 despite Kim giving up just five hits and no earned runs Monday evening.

The left-handed pitcher is also expected to return to the bullpen with the pending return of recovering starter Shawn Chacon, despite posting six strikeouts and lowering his earned-run average to 4.29, second best on the team.

Kim also hit his major-league leading eleventh batter this season. An angry Jeff Kent stepped towards the mound and caused both benches and bullpens to clear, but no violence occurred.

With the no decision, Kim is stuck at 2-7 for the season.
