The Dodgers vs. Astros Game 3 is going to be an exciting showdown. After taking the first two games of the series at Dodger Stadium, Houston will enter the third game with all the momentum, while the Dodgers are left trying to salvage what they can before moving on.
The Astros’ 6-4 win on Saturday was a mix of clutch pitching and smart managing. Framber Valdez gave up four runs over six innings but was still trusted by the coach, and his trust paid off when Valdez induced a key ground ball from Shohei Ohtani to end the threat. Closer Josh Hader then escaped a jam in the eighth before shutting it down in the ninth.

The Dodgers, meanwhile, gave away a lead earlier, Mookie Betts was back among runs after going through a slump and hit a home run. Miguel Rojas also was on the homer sheet. But the Astros responded, especially through Zach Short, whose two-run double tied the game and turned the momentum.
