LOS ANGELES (AP) This one was easy for the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Chris Taylor hit a grand slam during a six-run first inning, Alex Wood and two relievers combined for 17 strikeouts and the Dodgers rolled over the Pittsburgh Pirates 12-1 on Monday night.
”It was fun tonight,” Taylor said.
At least for the Dodgers. Pittsburgh was behind 10-0 after four innings.
”The beauty of this game is games like this only count as one loss,” Pirates manager Clint Hurdle said.
The Dodgers have won three straight and eight of 10. Their 15 hits tied a season high.
