HOUSTON-Jeff Kent hit a solo homer in the 11th inning as the Los Angeles Dodgers outlasted the Houston Astros, 7-6 Tuesday at Minute Maid Park. Russell Martin added a two-run shot for Los Angeles which amassed their highest run total since June 19. After Martin’s sixth inning RBI single, the Dodgers opened up a 6-1 lead, but shortly thereafter Houston caught fire. In the bottom of the sixth, Ty Wigginton belted a three-run homer, while Carlos Lee chipped in with a two-run double in the seventh to deadlock things at 6-6. The game was not without incident as Astros catcher Humberto Quintero was inadvertently smacked in the head by the bat of the Dodgers’ Luis Maza, when he followed through with his swing on a flyout. The Astros reported that Quintero suffered a concussion, but tests were negative. The team reported that Quintero will be placed on 15-day injured reserve. The win improved Los Angeles to 39-44, while Houston dropped to 40-44 in defeat.
