The Pirates’ three-game sweep is their first at Dodger Stadium since the 2000 season. They beat the Dodgers five times in six meetings this season.
LOS ANGELES — Somewhere in the abandoned steel mills of Pittsburgh they must have found a way to forge a form of kryptonite that works only on the Dodgers.
It was their fifth win in six games against the Dodgers this season and their first sweep of a three-game series against them since August 2015 – the first by the Pirates in Los Angeles since September 2000.The Dodgers scored 27 runs in their six games against the Pirates. Eleven of those came in their lone victory at PNC Park last month. A Dodger offense that has averaged 5.6 runs per game against everyone else was held to three or fewer in half of their six games against the Pirates.
Poor baserunning didn’t help the offense. Kevin Pillar led off the third with a double – then was thrown out trying to go to third base on a ground ball to the shortstop. In the sixth, Chris Taylor drew a leadoff walk but was out trying to go first-to-third behind Hanser Alberto’s ground ball to third.
