    Lucas Harrell isn't going to win any strikeout titles, the way Clayton Kershaw did last season. On Friday night, though, the Houston Astros' rookie demonstrated how successful he can be by getting groundballs off that tantalizing sinker of his.

    Harrell took a shutout into the eighth inning in his duel with the Dodgers' reigning NL Cy Young Award winner, J.D. Martinez homered and the Astros used four relievers in the eighth to get out of a bases-loaded jam and help secure a 3-1 victory over Los Angeles.
