It was also LA&#8217;s 4th straight win. Don Drysdale allowed just one run on 6 hits, striking out 4 in 8 innings to pick up his 2nd win. Bob Gibson allowed 3 runs on 7 hits and struck out 6 for Houston. Todd Helton and Johnny Bench hit solo home runs off Gibson, and Ralph Kiner added another off Trevor Hoffman in the 9th. Bench went 2 for 4 in his 1st start of the season. Lee Smith walked two in the 9th, but struck out Hodges and got pinch-hitter Roberto Clemente to ground out to end the game and pick up his 4th save. The Dynamos have allowed just 5 runs over the last 4 games. With the sweep, they&#8217;ve improved to 10-10, and are just a game behind Houston in a close National League race. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\"><a href=\"https:\/\/baseballmaelstrom.com\/POPsS2\/Scoresheets\/04-21-2023_LAN_HOU.png\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Dynamos @ Hoots - 4\/21\/23\">Dynamos @ Hoots &#8211; 4\/21\/23<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Los Angeles Dynamos continued their recent pitching dominance, topping the Houston Hoots 4-1 to complete the sweep.
