The Dodgers haven’t won nine straight since an 11-game run July 28-Aug. 8, 2006.
Los Angeles’ relievers have allowed two earned runs, nine hits and five walks over their last 20 innings.
“The only common denominator is that we have pitched,” Torre told the team’s website. “We’re playing well as a team. Andre (Ethier) not in the lineup is a blow to us, but we’ve shown a lot of determination.”
Kuroda (4-1, 2.66 ERA) will try to keep that momentum going with his sixth quality start in eight outings this season. The right-hander allowed three runs over 7 1-3 innings in a 6-3 win Wednesday in Arizona, where he took a line drive off the head Aug. 15. Check out more at our Sportsbook
Houston team that’s averaged 2.6 runs and hit .216 while dropping 15 of 20. The Astros (13-25), losers of four straight, are last in the majors in batting average (.227) and runs (112).
They’ve given Bud Norris(notes) (2-4, 6.03) just 10 runs in his first seven starts, but the right-hander snapped a personal three-game skid Thursday by allowing one run through eight innings in a 4-1 victory over St. Louis.
Both of Norris’ wins this season have come on the road against the Cardinals but he has never faced the Dodgers (21-17), winners in 13 of 16.
