Dodgers blown out by Astros in Fourth of July game at Dodger Stadium
Briefly

The Los Angeles Dodgers faced an 18-1 defeat against the Houston Astros, which is the most runs allowed by the team in a game since 2013. This loss is a record for the worst defeat at Dodger Stadium. Starting pitcher Ben Casparius struggled, allowing six runs in three innings. The Astros started strong, with Isaac Paredes hitting a homerun on the game's first pitch. Numerous players contributed to the scoring, and the Astros ended with 10 runs against another Dodger pitcher, Noah Davis, solidifying the victory.
The 18 runs are the most the Dodgers allowed in one game since a 19-3 loss to the San Francisco Giants on Sept. 14, 2013, which also was at home.
The 17-run defeat marked the Dodgers' worst loss in Dodger Stadium history.
Isaac Paredes started their scoring by ambushing the first pitch of the game for his 18th home run this season.
In four appearances (one start) since that point, the right-hander has now given up 17 runs on 25 hits, including six home runs, across 15.2 innings.
