Astros erupt in 8th to stun Dodgers
The Houston Astros had as much difficulty getting a hit against Hiroki Kuroda as the Los Angeles Dodgers' usually reliable bullpen did in getting outs. Kuroda took a no-hitter into the seventh inning before the Astros broke through for seven hits and six runs in the eighth inning and pulled out an 8-5 victory Sunday. "You go from being no-hit to getting eight runs. That just shows what kind of guys we have in this locker room," Houston manager Cecil Cooper said.
