It looked like they were on their way to their 5th loss. But that all changed in the 5th when 9 straight batters reached base en route to a 9-run inning. Hank Aaron got the Hoots on the board with a 3-run homer. Aaron would also drive in another run later in the inning with an RBI single. The Los Angeles Dynamos&#8217; Pete Alexander allowed just 3 hits the rest of the game. Bob Gibson picked up his 2nd win, holding LA to 2 runs on 8 hits, despite just 2 strikeouts. Crist\u00f3bal Torriente drove in both Dynamo runs. Before this game, Sutton hadn&#8217;t allowed more than 3 runs in any start. The win snapped Houston&#8217;s 4-game losing streak. They&#8217;re now 7-12. Los Angeles fell to 8-11. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/baseballmaelstrom.com\/?sp_event=697\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Los Angeles @ Houston &#8211; 4\/20\/22<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For 4 innings, Don Sutton held the Houston Hoots hitless.
