Hitting has been tough to come by in this series for the Dodgers. After Joc Pederson hit a solo homer to leadoff the first Friday night, the home team has been shut out since.
The Astros on the other hand, had no problems scoring runs, hanging 14 on Los Angeles. Two big innings did the Dodgers in on their way to a 14-0 loss at Dodger Stadium.
The loss — their fifth in the past seven games — drops the Dodgers one game behind the Diamondbacks in the NL West.
Already down 5-0 heading to the eighth inning, John Axford made his first appearance for the Dodgers after he was acquired Tuesday from Toronto.
