Home Loss Shrinks Astros Series Lead to 2-1
Already down in the Division Series, the Los Angeles Dodgers put on their best show, beating the Houston Astros by a final score of 7-5. Frank Thomas was special. He went 4 for 4 with 2 doubles, 2 singles, and a walk, while scoring 3 times. Los Angeles now trails Houston 2-1 in the best-of-5 affair.

Who knows how it might've ended, had it not been for Danny Tartabull? The Los Angeles shortstop had a 2-run single in the top of the seventh inning to put the Dodgers on top, 7-5. For the game, Tartabull had 1 double and 1 single in 4 at-bats.

"It feels good to get this one," Tartabull told the Los Angeles Chronicle.

The next game is set to be played tomorrow at Astrodome in Houston.
