Kent's 11th-Hour Homer Gives Dodgers Come-From-Ahead Win

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.
