The Los Angeles Dodgers wrapped up their eight-game road trip by completing a sweep of the Pittsburgh Pirates behind a game that embodied their focus and approach.
Corey Seager and Joc Pederson each hit a home run, players up and down the lineup worked counts, players took walks and three were hit by a pitch (twice with the bases loaded). However, there was also the curious case of Pederson failing to run out of the batter’s box.
Runners were on second and third base with one out in the third inning when Pederson was given the green light on Chris Archer’s first pitch.
