Jim Johnson suffers historic mound meltdown as Pirates sweep Dodgers

On Sunday, Jim Johnson joined an unenviable list of four Dodgers pitchers who have allowed eight or more runs while recording less than three outs. The first three:

1. Fred Heimbach, July 17, 1933 (one-third of an inning, nine earned runs)

2. Charlie Hough, Aug. 1, 1979 (two-thirds of an inning, eight earned runs)

3. Carlos Frias, Sept. 17, 2014 (two-thirds of an inning, eight runs)

PITTSBURGH >> The Dodgers were trailing the Pittsburgh Pirates 5-1 on a Monday afternoon at Forbes Field in 1933 when a relief pitcher named Fred Heimach entered the game and allowed nine runs while recording one out.
