The Los Angeles Dodgers and Skipper Don Mattingly had to be thinking we will avoid the sweep with Clayton Kershaw on the 'Bump" on Sunday as the 'Stros go to Zack Greinke on Saturday. These 2K15 'Stros were thinking its Hardball and no matter what name is on the opponents jerseys it's 60'6" and Shorts Porches down both baselines and we get nine frames to figure things out...now see me at Minute Maid Park!

Figure out they did as the 'Stros go Walk-Off sweep of the L.A. Dodgers as they didn't beat Kershaw they just hung around long enough and close enough to the deficit to get to that Dodgers Pen. Clayton was A+ going eight strong allowing a run on seven hits as he struck out ten 'Stros Hitters while walking no one.

It was a 9th inning rally started by none other than Carlos Correa's lead-off single. Then with one out he stole 2nd as Dodgers Captain Save-A-Game Kenley Jansen gives up a one out RBI single to Marwin Gonzalez as Kershaw's nod for the "W" goes for not and Jansen has a blown save.

Then in the 10th with Dodgers Reliever Chris Hatcher on the "Hill" it was 'Stros Back Stop Jason Castro taking "Hatch" deep for a Walk-Off Solo HR and a 3-2 'Stros Victory!  Houston moves to 69-56 while the Dodgers fall to 67-56 and in a world of hurt leaving this Inter League Three-Piece!

'Stros Starter Lance McCullers kept H-Town Hardball in it going seven allowing just two runs on eight hits...almost matching Kershaw!

The 'Stros Show is back and intact "Bigs" and "Bags"!
