Cory Wade pitched the last two innings, surrendering a towering solo shot by Carlos Lee but nothing else.
On the offensive end, the Dodgers got just enough timely hitting to cover for a few hitters who couldn’t get anything done. Russell Martin, who had an excellent game two days ago, and James Loney combined to go 0-for-6. The Dodger bench also came up short once more, with Jason Repko failing to produce and still hitting .000 and Mark Sweeney failing to raise his average once again (it’s because he didn’t make an appearance, but still).

s to tie the score with yet another two-out hit, with Jonathan Broxton blowing the save by allowing Carlos Lee to hit a two-RBI double. Recall that Broxton also blew the Mothers’ Day game at Dodger Stadium against these Astros, spoiling Hiroki Kuroda’s one-hitter.

eeds.
The Astros badly need to Tejada to become the some semblance run producer that he once was. Carlos Lee and Lance Berkman will carry the load of the offense this season as they did last, however, they need the help. Last year Houston ranked ranked 13th in the National League in runs scored despite Lee and Berkman both driving in over 100 runs. Newly acquired leadoff hitter Michael Bourn and second year outfielder Hunter Pence (returning from injury) should provide excellent table setters. If Tejada can regain some of his offensive prowess, the Astros lineup could become one of more powerful in the league. Unfortunately for Houston, Tejada’s body seems to be breaking down and off the field distractions, which includes the possibility of him losing his green card in light of the federal investigation, will probably lead to another down year.
