HOUSTON >> Steals of home plate are so rare, even Carlos Gomez hadn’t tried one in six years before Sunday. The speedy center fielder was caught stealing then, just as he was with two outs in the sixth inning at Minute Maid Park — the most dramatic play in the Dodgers’ 3-2 loss to the Houston Astros.
