Baseball Betting Lines

04/22/2009 - Houston, TX (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Miguel Tejada batted 2-for-5 with a double and three runs batted in, as the Houston Astros topped Los Angeles, 8-5, snapping the Dodgers' eight-game winning streak.

Carlos Lee hit a two-run homer as part of a two-hit effort in Tuesday's game, the opener of a three-game series. Kaz Matsui finished with a hit, two walks and two RBI as Houston snapped a two-game slide.

Russ Ortiz (1-0) started for the Astros and allowed three runs on three hits and five walks in five innings. It was his second start this season, and first win since April 20, 2007, when he pitched with the Giants. Ortiz missed time with multiple stints on the disabled list in 2007 and did not pitch at all in 2008 after undergoing Tommy John surgery.

Jose Valverde escaped a bases-loaded situation in the ninth inning, despite appearing to injure his right leg, to nail down his first save this season.

Manny Ramirez went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer, a walk and three total RBI for the Dodgers, who hadn't lost since April 10 against Arizona and were coming off sweeps of San Francisco and Colorado. Matt Kemp went 2-for-4 for LA and has now hit safely in all 14 games to begin the season.

Clayton Kershaw (0-1) took the loss after allowing six runs on eight hits in 4 1/3 innings.
