Home runs from Joc Pederson, Yasiel Puig and Cody Bellinger carried the Los Angeles Dodgers past the Pittsburgh Pirates, 5-0, in the opener of a three-game series at PNC Park. The victory extended the Dodgers’ winning streak to four games and marked an eighth consecutive win on the road.
Moreover, they’ve now won 14 of their past 18 games, and have hit three home runs in four straight games. The Dodgers’ first homer came courtesy of Pederson, and it was a familiar sight as the blast was his third in as many at-bats against Joe Musgrove, dating back to the World Series.
