| A homer by Craig Reynolds, who did not hit any last season, helped the Astros come from behind to defeat the Dodgers, 10-6. The Astros, who were trailing, 6-3, whittled their deficit with a two-run double by Alan Ashby in the seventh inning. Reynolds then hit his homer in the eighth to tie the score, sparking a five-run outburst by the Astros. After Reynolds' rap, the Astros went on to load the bases and Luis Pujols supplied the game-winning blow with a two-run double. [The Sporting News] |
