Dodgers go quietly in 3-1 loss to Astros No big hit this time. No kid hero or even a lights-out pitching performance by Clayton Kershaw. Just a loss, a rather routine one at that, the Dodgers falling, 3-1, to the Astros and right-hander Lucas Harrell on Friday night before an announced crowd of 36,283 at Dodger Stadium. The Dodgers went very quietly against Harrell, a 26-year-old in his first full season as a starter. They managed only five hits -- all singles -- against him and mostly grounded out a lot. Of their 22 outs against Harrell, only three were recorded in the outfield. Kershaw suffered a rare home loss, but then he was not exactly at his Cy Young-best. He allowed the three runs in seven innings, surrendering only five hits, but all were of the extra-base variety. He gave up four doubles, a two-run homer to J.D. Martinez and had several balls caught near the warning track. Kershaw fell to 4-2 on the season. He walked three and struck out six. He had won 14 of his previous 15 decisions at Dodger Stadium. He saw his 22-inning scoreless streak end in the first on an unearned run. Jose Altuve led off with the first of his two doubles. Martinez was awarded first when his swing clipped A.J. Ellis" glove for catcher's interference. Carlos Lee then hit a double-play ball to third baseman Jerry Hairston Jr., just off the disabled list. But second baseman Elian Herrera threw the relay past James Loney for an error as Altuve scored. There was nothing sketchy about the Astros" next two runs. Jed Lowrie doubled off the center-field wall and Martinez followed with his fourth home run. Lee then flied out at the left-field fence. The Dodgers, meanwhile, never could figure out Harrell (4-3). He managed to go 7 1/3 innings without striking out a single batter; he walked three. Harrell left the game after giving a one-out single to Herrera in the eighth. Left-hander Wesley Wright was brought in to face left-handed hitters Bobby Abreu and Andre Ethier, who promptly walked and singled, respectively, to load the bases. That started a revolving door on the Houston bullpen. Wilton Lopez came in to face Hairston and walked him on four pitches to force in a run. Fernando Abad came on to strike out Ivan De Jesus. And then Fernando Rodriguez got Ellis to fly out to end the inning. For those counting at home, that's five Houston pitchers in a single inning. The Dodgers" biggest threat of the night, and they squeezed out one run. For the surprising Astros, it marked their fourth consecutive victory and left them just one game under .500 (22-23).
