The Los Angeles Dodgers defeated the Houston Astros 6-2, with Teoscar Hernández hitting his 22nd home run and rookie pitcher River Ryan earning his first major league win by striking out eight batters in 5 2/3 innings. The Dodgers, who previously struggled with a 1-7 road record in July, showcased a strong performance with additional home runs from Gavin Lux and James Outman, alongside a career-high 27th stolen base from Shohei Ohtani. Ryan's effective pitching included six strikeouts across the second to fourth innings, leading to his successful outing despite walking three batters. Manager Dave Roberts praised the team's overall production and stated Ryan would continue in the rotation for an upcoming game. The Astros struggled offensively, going 1 for 10 with runners in scoring position, and Yainer Diaz's two-run homer was not enough to turn the tide. This victory allows the Dodgers to build momentum as they head into an off day.
