US EditionChristian Walker, Yainer Diaz and Jose Altuve Homer in Astros’ 5-1 Win to Complete Sweep of Dodgers
- The Houston Astros completed a 5-1 series finale win to sweep the Dodgers, featuring back-to-back eighth-inning home runs by Christian Walker and Yainer Diaz and a ninth-inning homer by Jose Altuve.
- Sheehan, a right-handed pitcher who was added to the Dodgers’ roster Sunday morning to replace Jack Little, delivered a strong performance in his second outing since Tommy John surgery, allowing just a single run while giving up five hits across five innings against the Astros.
- Trailing 4-1 in the eighth inning, the Dodgers mounted a threat with baserunners occupying the first two bases, but Freddie Freeman's lineout to center field ended their effort.
- Sheehan's performance mirrored his June 18 start against the Padres, where he gave up just a single run while surrendering three hits across four innings, issuing no walks and recording six strikeouts.
- The Astros dominated the series against the Dodgers, scoring a total of 29 runs to the Dodgers’ 6 across three games, while the Dodgers strengthened their bullpen ahead of a challenging road trip and anticipate the return of two established starters soon, although Sheehan’s role may still change.
