'Tough way to lose': Astros fall to Dodgers after balk call - ESPN

LOS ANGELES — Trailing by two runs in the eighth inning, the Los Angeles Dodgers received some help from the Houston Astros bullpen… and the umpire.

James Outman scored the go-ahead run on a balk by Ryne Stanek and the Dodgers rallied to defeat the Astros 8-7 on Saturday for their fourth straight victory.

Stanek, his long blond hair flying, was incensed after striking out Michael Busch to end the inning. He turned around to yell and point at second base umpire Junior Valentine, who tossed Stanek.

Pitching coach Josh Miller came out to grab Stanek and plate umpire Manny Gonzalez had to step in front of a barking Stanek.
