Astros blast off to best Greinke, Dodgers
Altuve's solo shot 0:53 8/22/15: Jose Altuve connects for his 10th home run of the season, a solo shot to left off Zack Greinke to pad the Astros' lead in the 6thJose Altuve, who led off the game with a triple and scored the game's first run two batters later, added a shot of his own into the Crawford Boxes in the sixth, giving the streaking Astros pitching staff all the support it'd need. The two hits to Altuve and Valbuena's homer were the only hits surrendered by Greinke -- who retired 16 of the final 17 batters he faced -- and the Dodgers' bullpen.
The loss ended a string of 11 unbeaten starts by Greinke, whose ERA jumped from 1.58 to 1.67.
