The Los Angeles Dodgers bounced back from a disappointing loss to defeat the Houston Astros, 8-1, splitting the two games at Dodger Stadium and taking the season series.
Short on healthy starters, the Dodgers resorted to a bullpen game for a second time this year. Brusdar Graterol served as the opener, marking the first start of his young Major League career. He allowed a two-out base hit but otherwise struck out three in his lone inning of work.
Josh Sborz then began a parade of seven Dodgers relief pitchers on the night. Victor Gonzalez, who entered in the third and pitched two innings, was the lone member of the bullpen to go multiple frames.
