For a nine-inning game that took three hours and 50 minutes to complete, it seemed only right that the Dodgers' most patient hitter was at the plate with the game on the line. A.J. Ellis came through for the Dodgers - again - with a three-run home run for a 6-3 win over the Houston Astros, and the second walk-off RBI for Ellis in nine days.
After nearly four hours and well over 300 pitches, the Dodgers managed a 6-3 win over the Houston Astros thanks to a walk-off home run by A.J. Ellis Saturday night at Dodger Stadium. After a pair of questionable managerial maneuvers in the ninth inning, Ellis slammed a pitch into the left field pavilion.
With eight players currently on the disabled list, the Dodgers have had to adjust on the fly with their roster, especially this month. In May alone, four players who started the month in Triple A Albuquerque have totaled 82 plate appearances with the Dodgers. Chief among them is Elian Herrera, who has stepped right in and has become a fixture in the Dodger lineup.
If the Dodgers are to snap their two-game winning streak tonight, they will likely need a solid start from Chad Billingsley, against a team that has given him trouble through the years.
