The Dodgers lose to the Pirates for the first time since June 2018, ending their six-game unbeaten run and a 16-game winning streak vs. the Bucs. They were outhit 15-5.
PITTSBURGH — The Dead Ball Era lives.
The Dodgers hit six balls with an exit velocity of more than 100 mph in the first eight innings. Only one of them resulted in a hit – a single by Trea Turner in the fifth inning. “There’s nothing we can do about it,” Turner said. “We can talk about it all we want but until something happens it doesn’t really affect us. We’ve still got to find ways to get hits and drive guys in.”
Justin Turner’s 105.9 mph drive to left field in the first inning had the look of an RBI double – until Pirates left fielder Ben Gamel made a tumbling catch at the warning track. “It’s baseball. That happens,” Taylor said. “You have to give their defense credit. They made some good plays and they cover a lot of ground in the outfield. But you know, it wasn’t our day. Maybe we’ve had some breaks go our way the last six or seven games and tonight it didn’t.”
