Two Beloved Hollywood Actresses Have Passed Away This Week

The Dodgers (62-44) lost a rough one last night against the Houston Astros (55-49) by a score of 7-6 via an Alex Bregman walk-off homer. Justin Wrobleski was great through five innings, but the combination of Evan Phillips, Daniel Hudson, and Blake Treinen coughed up five earned runs while accruing three outs. Anthony Banda doesn’t get lumped in there because he was great. The team put up six runs while rolling out their weakest lineup of the season, but teams that are playing poorly will find ways to lose games. River Ryan will make his second career start as the Dodgers try to win a game in Houston. The rookie right-hander Spencer Arrighetti will make his 19th start of the year for the Astros.
