The Astros did two things that could’ve eventually led to the win on Friday but they ultimately lost 3-2 against the Dodgers. First, starter JP France performed really well. Second, Mauricio Dubón and Kyle Tucker hit back-to-back home runs. But the thing is that was just it for them as they only got three hits and were dominated by rookie Emmet Sheehan.
The Astros didn’t put any runners in scoring position (homers don’t count) and José Abreu didn’t play for the second consecutive game. The Dodgers couldn’t enjoy their hitting either but Mookie Betts hit a lead-off shot and Michael Busch registered a two-run double in the fourth inning to make it 3-2.
