The Los Angeles Dodgers dominated the Houston Astros 12–2 on May 6 at Daikin Park, with the visiting offense delivering a decisive offensive performance. The Dodgers collected 14 hits and three home runs while driving in nine runs, posting a .798 OPS against Houston's pitching staff, which surrendered 12 earned runs and posted a 5.82 ERA. Los Angeles' pitching was equally effective, allowing just five hits and two earned runs with a 3.16 ERA while striking out eight. Houston managed only five hits and one home run, with strikeouts reaching eight against the Dodgers' lineup, and the home team drew no walks in the lopsided defeat. The Astros' pitching staff issued five walks while recording nine strikeouts, but the damage was already done by the third inning. This result underscores Los Angeles' ability to generate consistent offensive pressure while maintaining disciplined pitching, a combination that proved insurmountable for Houston's struggling rotation.
