Dodgers score early and often in 8-4 victory over Pirates

And, in the seventh inning, they did not score.

But the Dodgers did score in each of the first six innings on Saturday, piling up 17 hits in an 8-4 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates.

The victory was not the most artistic of the year for the Dodgers, but it nonetheless pulled them within one-half game of the lead in the National League West. The first-place San Francisco Giants play Saturday night.

Joc Pederson, who hit his 17th home run, had three hits and finished a triple shy of the cycle. Corey Seager had three hits too, and the first seven batters in the Dodgers lineup all had at least two hits.
