Andy Pages put on a show for the ages, launching three home runs and driving in six runs as the Los Angeles Dodgers crushed the Houston Astros 12-2 on Wednesday afternoon at Daikin Park. It was exactly the kind of offensive explosion the Dodgers desperately needed—and it came on a day their starting pitcher, Tyler Glasnow, left after just one inning due to lower back tightness.

For a team that has struggled to score runs lately, this game was a breath of fresh air. The Dodgers entered Wednesday averaging just 3.64 runs per game over their previous 14 contests, a stretch that included a six-game homerless drought—their longest in a dozen years. They had lost five of their last seven games and were held to one run in Tuesday night's loss to Houston. Simply put, the bats were cold.

But Wednesday told a different story. After Glasnow departed with the game tied 1-1, the Dodgers found an unconventional way to get on the board—scoring their first three runs on wild pitches. It was almost comical for an offense that had been struggling so mightily, but it showed a team finally creating its own luck. A double and a single in the second inning set up the first run, and a walk and a double in the third led to two more.

Then the real fireworks began. After the third wild pitch of the game from Astros reliever Lance McCullers Jr., Freddie Freeman and Kyle Tucker drew walks. That brought up Andy Pages, who had been in a home run drought of 83 plate appearances. He ended it in dramatic fashion, crushing a three-run homer to left field that gave the Dodgers some rare breathing room.

Pages wasn't done. In the fifth inning, he lined a two-run shot into the Crawford Boxes, turning the game into a full-blown rout. And just for good measure, he added a third home run in the ninth inning off position player César Salazar. With that performance, Pages joined Max Muncy as the only Dodgers this season to hit three homers in a single game.

The win marked the Dodgers' first road series victory since April 6-8 in Toronto, and it couldn't have come at a better time. For a team that has been searching for consistency at the plate, this game was a reminder of just how explosive this lineup can be when everything clicks. Whether you're a fan of the blue or just love watching baseball at its best, this was a performance worth celebrating—and one that might just spark a hot streak for the Dodgers.
