The key moment of Friday night's 3-1 Dodgers loss to the Houston Astros came in the bottom of the eighth inning, when the Dodgers were threatening against the Houston bullpen after being unable to solve the Lucas Harrell puzzle all evening.
The Dodgers didn't swing and miss once all night against Lucas Harrell. The problem though was they didn't do much of anything when they made contact off the Houston Astros' starting pitcher, who pitched the Astros to a 3-1 win over the Dodgers Friday night in the opener of a three-game series at Dodger Stadium.
While the Dodgers activated one player off the disabled list on Friday in Jerry Hairston Jr., they lost another one to the infirmary. Justin Sellers becomes the 12th Dodgers player to be placed on the disabled list this season, as he was placed on the 15-day disabled list with a bulging disc in his lower back.
Clayton Kershaw is 4-1 with a 1.90 ERA so far this season, and has an active streak of 22 consecutive scoreless innings. He has needed to be that good, because his opposing starter has generally been pretty good, with a 3.09 ERA. Seven of nine opposing starters against Kershaw this season have had a quality start.
The Los Angeles Dodgers return home Friday night to open a seven-game homestand, beginning with Clayton Kershaw facing the Houston Astros in the opener of a three-game weekend series at Dodger Stadium.
