The Dodgers jumped out to an early lead, scoring two runs in the first inning off of Astros starter Zack Greinke. The Astros responded with a run in the second inning, but the Dodgers held on to their lead until the ninth inning when the Astros tied it up with a solo home run from Altuve.
The game went to extra innings and the Dodgers finally broke through in the 11th inning when Corey Seager hit a solo home run off of Astros reliever Ryan Pressly. The Dodgers held on for the victory, despite a late rally from the Astros.
The boos for Altuve and Bregman were loud and clear throughout the game, as fans expressed their displeasure with the two players for their involvement in the sign-stealing scandal. Both players have since apologized for their actions, but the fans at Dodger Stadium made it clear that they are still not happy with them.
The Dodgers victory was a big one, as it put them one step closer to clinching the National League West division title. With the win, the Dodgers improved their record to 91-37, while the Astros dropped to 79-50.
