This time, the Astros did hit but they lost against the Dodgers on an 8-7 score in Los Angeles. On Saturday, they got to the seventh inning up 7-3 but the Dodgers scored five times between innings seven and eight. The winning run was cashed in after a Ryne Stanek shocking balk that eventually led to an ejection. This was the Astros’ 12th miscue in their last 17 games.
The Astros wasted a seven-run, 13-hit effort which included a grand slam by Alex Bregman. Also, they couldn’t hold the Dodgers despite a nice pitching performance by starter Ronel Blanco, who worked for six innings, allowing two hits and three earned runs with two walks and six strikeouts.
