A strong start from veteran left-hander Jose Quintana and a 15-hit attack helped the Pittsburgh Pirates post a 5-1 victory over the NL West-leading Los Angeles Dodgers Monday night at PNC Park.
Quintana limited the Dodgers to two hits and four walks over six innings and left with a 1-0 lead.
Quintana, who struck out five, became the first Pirates’ starter this season to eclipse the 100-pitch mark in a game, as he finished with 102.
Quintana was bailed out by a couple of fine defensive plays by outfielders Ben Gamel and Jake Marisnick.
