The teams combined for just 4 hits heading into the bottom of the 6th. That&#8217;s when Todd Helton singled off Bob Gibson with 2 outs. Chipper Jones followed with a hard grounder that Honus Wagner couldn&#8217;t handle. Ed Delahanty continued his hot start with a triple to put LA up 2-0. Houston got their sole run off Tom Seaver when Oscar Charleston led off the 7th with a double and stole 3rd, scoring on Willie Stargell&#8217;s base hit. In the 8th, Eddie Mathews booted back-to-back ground balls, and Ernie Banks followed with a home run. Seaver earned the win, allowing just one run on 6 hits while striking out 6. Gibson allowed 7 runs, just two of them earned, on 12 hits for Houston. LA has now won 3 in a row, while ending Houston&#8217;s 3-game winning streak. They&#8217;re just one game back in the National League race at 21-16. Banks finished 2 for 4 with 3 RBI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/baseballmaelstrom.com\/POPsS2\/Scoresheets\/05-13-2023_HOU_LAN.png\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Hoots @ Dynamos - 5\/13\/23\">Hoots @ Dynamos &#8211; 5\/13\/23<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Los Angeles Dynamos took advantage of 4 Houston errors, scoring 5 unearned runs to beat the Hoots 7-1 and cut their National League lead to just one game.
