Pirates 11, Dodgers 9: Disastrous debut & middle relief weakness too much to overcome

The Dodgers finally got back to .500 against the Pirates yesterday, and that lasted for a single game thanks to a disastrous debut and laughable middle relief work in spite of the bats trying their best. In the end, they fell by a score of 11-9.

The AAA pitching staff was bound to bite them at some point and today was that day. Caleb Ferguson flashed an effective fastball at 92-94 mph, but didn’t throw his change and showed a non-competitive curve. That led to him throwing 57 pitches and getting just five outs, allowing four runs on two hits, three walks, and two hit batters.
