October 17, 2006
Houston's Roger Clemens and LA's Dereck Lowe locked up in a pitching duel for 6 innings before the Astros erased a 1-0 Dodger lead in the 7th and chased Lowe from the game. Houston led 2-1 in the 9th when LA manager Grady Little brought in closer Takashi Saito to hold the 1 run deficit. The move backfired when Saito unintentionally walked Jason Lane and then gave up a Grand Slam homerun to Morgan Ensberg. Chad Qualls came on to close out the game for Houston but gave up a 2-run homer to J. D. Drew, Drew's 2nd homer of the game and 7th of the postseason. With the score now 6-3 Houston manager Phil Garner had seen enough and brought in closer Brad Lidge who did finish the game, getting his 5th Save of the postseason. Clemens got the Win and Lowe the Loss.
The Astros lead the NLCS 3-2 now and the teams travel back to Houston for Game 6 and, if necessary, Game 7.
