Marshall Homer Beats Houston

Mike Marshall’s two-out, two-run home run in the eighth inning today rallied the Dodgers to a 4-3 victory over the Houston Astros.

Mariano Duncan started the Dodger uprising by working Houston reliever Bill Dawley for a walk. Ken Landreaux doubled to right to score Duncan and Marshall followed with his first homer of the season. Today’s victory was the Dodgers’ second in the three-game season-opening series with Houston.
