The Pirates are 9 for 9 on stolen base attempts over the first two games of this series, and the Dodgers have surrendered an MLB-high 35 stolen bases in 40 attempts after the 8-1 loss.
PITTSBURGH — The Dodgers need to get tough on crime.
“It hasn’t been good,” Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said before the game of the Dodgers’ inability to control the running game. “We’ve got to figure something out. I might have to do a better job of calling pitch-outs. I don’t know if that will help in certain situations. We’ve got to try to keep these guys off base, these burners. But they’re gonna keep trying us. I know that. Our pitchers know that. Our catchers know that. So we all gotta get better.
They broke the game open with five runs in the seventh inning, scoring one run when Tucupita Marcano raced home from second base on an infield single. Dodgers catcher Austin Wynns was called for blocking the plate on that play, allowing Marcano to score.
