HOUSTON — Some offensive outbursts are memorable. And then there are afternoons like the one Andy Pages delivered Wednesday at Daikin Park, a performance that will be talked about for a long time.

The Dodgers closed out their road trip with a statement, routing the Astros 12-2 to secure the series victory in Houston. At the heart of it all was Pages, who smashed three home runs and drove in six runs in the first three-homer game of his young career. The 25-year-old outfielder entered the game already swinging a hot bat, but by the end of the afternoon, he had completely taken over the finale.

Pages blasted home runs in the first, third, and fifth innings, carrying a Dodgers lineup that poured on 10 runs through the first five frames. His power display turned what could have been a tight contest into a rout, giving the Dodgers a much-needed boost after they managed just one run in Tuesday's 2-1 loss.

But before the offensive avalanche began, concern settled over the Dodgers dugout. Tyler Glasnow took the mound for the bottom of the second inning, threw a warm-up pitch, and immediately motioned for a trainer. Moments later, he walked off the mound alongside the training staff, ending his afternoon after just one inning due to low back pain.

"It's a cool accomplishment," Glasnow said of recording his 1,000th career strikeout earlier in the game. "It would've been better if I didn't get taken out of the game in the second."

Glasnow said his back "gave out" during a warm-up throw before the second inning. He attempted another pitch but quickly realized something was wrong. The discomfort resembled the issue that forced him to miss time in Baltimore last season and led to an injured list stint in 2024.

Dave Roberts said he does not expect Glasnow to land on the injured list, though the right-hander will undergo an MRI once the team returns to Los Angeles. Before exiting, Glasnow experienced both ends of the emotional spectrum in a single inning. But thanks to Pages' historic day, the Dodgers head home with a series win and plenty of momentum.
