Another strong offensive game by Pittsburgh, Dodgers lose

The Dodgers lost their second consecutive series today, knocked around by the Pirates who reeled off 15 runs and 21 hits.  The Pirates offense was a force these past two games; they out-hit the Dodgers for the series, 42-36.  The Dodgers are now 8-7 on the current road trip.  Les Munns, who made a spot start for Brooklyn today, was clubbed: 9 earned runs in 4.2 innings.

The Pirates put up crooked numbers in 5 different innings (they also committed 5 errors in the game, 12 errors total in the 3 game series).  They got things going in the first inning, plating 3 runs on 3 hits.  Lloyd Waner got things started by drawing a walk.  His brother, Paul, sacrifice bunted him to 2nd.  Fred Lindstrom singled, scoring a run.  Then Arky Vaughan singled to put runners at the corners.  Gus Suhr then doubled, plating 2 runs.

Pirates first baseman Gus Suhr had a particularly good series.  He was 4-for-5 yesterday and 4-for-6 today.  Lloyd Waner finished 4-for-4 in today's game.  Arky Vaughan was 6-for-14 in this series with 3 RBI's; he is still leading the batting race at .444.

The Dodgers now hope a train and head to Chicago!
