Hunter Pence
2 July 2008
Kershaw, who had allowed only Hunter Pence’s first-inning RBI single, left the game with two on and two out. He was later charged for two runs when reliever Brian Falkenborg allowed a three-run homer to Ty Wigginton. The Dodgers would allow the Astros 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.

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.
