Astros Rout Dodgers in Franchise’s Worst Home Loss

News summary

The Houston Astros defeated the Los Angeles Dodgers 18-1 at Dodger Stadium, marking the worst home loss in Dodgers franchise history. During the broadcast, Dodgers announcer Orel Hershiser referenced the Astros' 2017 sign-stealing scandal, suggesting Astros hitters seemed to anticipate pitches. The remarks drew backlash and reignited resentment among Dodgers fans, with some chanting 'cheater' at Astros second baseman Jose Altuve, the only remaining player linked to the scandal. Despite these references, there was no evidence of cheating in the game, aided by PitchCom technology that now prevents sign-stealing. Analysts and fans reacted with a mix of criticism and humor to Hershiser's comments. Ultimately, the lopsided score was attributed to the Dodgers' poor pitching, not new allegations.
