The Houston Astros had as much difficulty getting a hit against Hiroki Kuroda as the Los Angeles Dodgers' usually reliable bullpen did in getting outs.Kuroda took a no-hitter into the seventh inning before the Astros broke through for seven hits and six runs in the eighth inning and pulled out an 8-5 victory Sunday."You go from being no-hit to getting eight runs. That just shows what kind of guys we have in this locker room," Houston manager Cecil Cooper said. "They keep playing hard, and they don't quit. It's a tribute to them. We had some great at-bats."Lance Berkman, Carlos Lee and Hunter Pence had run-scoring singles against reliever Jonathan Broxton (1-1), and Brad Ausmus added a two-run single as the Astros won for the eighth time in nine games. Houston also completed its first three-game sweep at Dodger Stadium since September 25-27, 1992.Michael Bourn capped the rally with a sacrifice fly for a 7-3 lead. The Dodgers' bullpen came in with a 2.72 ERA, second-best in the majors."It's tough," catcher Russell Martin said. "A guy goes six innings and doesn't give up any hits, and you take him out after one hit, and the bullpen gives it up for him. Everyone feels bad. You want to win every game you can when a guy throws his heart out like that."Kuroda allowed a run and just one hit over 6 2/3 innings, struck out five, walked three and hit a batter in his eighth big league start after 11 seasons in Japan.The right-hander is winless in his seven starts since his Dodgers debut April 4.Kuroda was bidding to become the second Japanese-born pitcher to throw a no-hitter in the majors. Hideo Nomo had two, one in 1996 for the Dodgers and one in 2001 for the Red Sox.ASTROS 8, DODGERS 5
