"The Dodgers pitcher who held the Houston Astros scoreless for six innings was playing for double-A Chattanooga little more than a week ago.

The Dodgers shortstop who started a double play in his debut for the team was a major league nobody, at least according to most rankings of baseball prospects.

And so what has seemed like a lost season in L.A. continues to generate a few unexpected finds.

Making only his second major league start, Nathan Eovaldi limited his hometown Astros to two hits through six innings Friday night at Dodger Stadium and shortstop Justin Sellers played flawless defense in his first game of the season not wearing a hat with a funky "A" design.

Matt Kemp made them both winners with a bloop single down the right-field line with none out in the 10th inning that drove in Casey Blake from second base and gave the Dodgers a 1-0 victory, snapping their four-game losing streak.

Blake had led off the inning with a double down the right-field line. The Astros, who had triggered an audible groan from the crowd an inning earlier when they escaped a no-out, bases-loaded jam, intentionally walked Andre Ethier to bring up Kemp.

The cleanup hitter delivered against reliever David Carpenter.

It was a thrilling conclusion to a day in which the Dodgers signed first-round draft pick Chris Reed and one of their top scouting executives rejected criticism that the organization's minor league system was depleted."
