The Pittsburgh Pirates returned to PNC Park for a one game home stand against the Los Angeles Dodgers. This game was a make up for a rainout that occurred on May 12. Brad Lincoln would start for the Pirates while the Dodgers sent Dana Eveland to the hill. Eveland’s name may sound familiar to Buccos fans and that’s because he played in three games for Pittsburgh in 2010. He was able to get the best of his former team going eight innings allowing one run on six hits while striking out three batters. Lincoln had an alright day going six innings, striking out and walking three batters, while giving up three runs on six hits.
The Dodgers would open up that lead with a run in the seventh when a passed ball scored James Loney. They would add two more runs in the eighth on a Gordon double to right field. Pittsburgh made a little bit of noise in the ninth. Alex Presley hit a two run homer to cut the Los Angeles lead to three. Neil Walker then brought home run number four with a sacrifice fly to right field. That would be all the offense the Pirates could muster as Harrison and Brandon Wood would strikeout to end the game.
Record vs. Dodgers: 1-3
Record vs. N.L. West: 11-15
Record at PNC Park: 31-38
Overall Record: 62-75
As Always…
