Well, this past series with the Pittsburgh Pitates could’ve gone better. But for some reason the Pitates always seem to have the Dodgers’ number.
It seems as though when one thing that needs to happen happens, something else doesn’t. The Dodgers bullpen is overworked, so the team hopes for a long outing from their starter. They got that Friday night from Ross Stripling, who only gave up six hits over seven innings. Unfortunately, the Pirates scored five runs off of those six hits. Then the Dodgers offense sputtered, only scoring one run on 12 hits.
Saturday did not see a pitcher going seven innings.
