Max Scherzer struck out 10 in his Dodgers debut and Los Angeles hit four home runs to defeat the Houston Astros 7-5 on Wednesday night.
Mookie Betts homered twice, while Will Smith and AJ Pollock also went deep off Astros starter Jake Odorizzi .
The throng roared with delight as Scherzer, a three-time Cy Young Award winner who was acquired in a blockbuster trade with Washington last Friday, struck out Jose Altuve three times. The right-hander also got Correa to chase a slider for the first out of the sixth inning. Max Muncy drew a walk and advanced to second with one out when Altuve's throw on Corey Seager's grounder pulled Correa off the bag at second for an error. With runners on first and second, Smith made the Astros pay for the mistake with a three-run homer to right-center.
