Hunter Pence combined with Michael Bourn to hit back-to-back homeruns for the Astros as they defeated the Los Angeles Dodgers by a final score of 12-10. The Astros, who improved their spring training record to 9-12 with the win, also got homers from J.R. House, David Newhan and Nick Gorneault.
Woody Williams started the game for the Astros and gave up five earned runs in four innings. Geoff Geary pitched two scoreless innings for Houston and was credited with the win.
Andre Ethier was the hitting star for the Dodgers in this game, finishing 4-for-5 with two runs and three RBIs. The contest marked the final game ever for the Dodgers at Dodgertown, a facility in Vero Beach, Florida. The Dodgers have played games at this location for the last 60 years but will be moving to a facility in Glendale, Arizona.
