"Tyler Glasnow started for the Dodgers, giving up a lead-off homer to Brice Matthews to make it 1-0 Astros just like that. He rebounded by getting the next three, including a pair of strikeouts, but effectiveness was the least of his concerns."
"The Dodgers did end up tying the game in the 2nd, as Kyle Tucker led off with a double and looked like he might be stranded after a pair of outs left him at second. However, Dalton Rushing hit a chopper into the ground for an infield single to corner things."
"McCullers appeared to be laboring, and the 3rd is when he tried to pitch through a blister issue. Alex Freeland started with a walk and then Shohei Ohtani broke his hitless streak with a double down the line in right."
"The bats backed the impromptu pen game by topping double digits against a battered Astros pitching staff to take the game 12-2 for a series win."
