Ohtani Allows His First HRs of the Season to Walker and Shewmake as the Astros Beat the Dodgers 2-1

Peter Lambert held Los Angeles to one run over seven innings as Houston snapped the Dodgers’ rally after two early homers off Shohei Ohtani.

  • On Tuesday, the Houston Astros defeated the Los Angeles Dodgers 2-1 behind seven strong innings from Peter Lambert. Shohei Ohtani allowed his first two home runs of the season, surrendering solo shots to Christian Walker and Braden Shewmake.
  • Christian Walker sent the first pitch of the second inning to the train tracks for his 30th career home run against the Dodgers. Braden Shewmake followed with a fastball blast into the left-field seats to extend the Houston lead to 2-0.
  • Despite the homers, Ohtani struck out Jose Altuve with a 101 mph sweeper to escape a jam in the second inning. Ohtani permitted four hits and two runs with eight strikeouts over seven innings of work.
  • Struggling to generate offense, the Dodgers managed only six hits against the Houston pitching staff. Alex Call doubled in the eighth and scored on a single by Kyle Tucker, but the team could not overcome the deficit.
  • The series concludes Wednesday when Dodgers RHP Tyler Glasnow opposes RHP Lance McCullers. Los Angeles has lost five of its last seven games, seeking to reverse offensive struggles in the finale.
