Dodgers even series

Game 2 of this 4 game series in Pittsburgh went the Dodgers way, as they won this one 7-2.  The Dodgers pounded out 13 hits and Van Mungo pitched well.  Sam Leslie hit his 5th home run of the season.  Brooklyn jumped out to an early lead in the first inning, scoring 2 runs.  They'd never look back and won the game to even the series.

The Dodgers had 5 2-out RBI's in the game.  They came up clutch in a number of at-bats including a couple by Tony Cuccinello.  He had 3 RBI's in the game.  Sam Leslie hit a solo shot.

"I love playing at Forbes Field," Manager Williams said.  "It's my favorite stadium in the league.  Boy, Van pitched well today and we were hitting on all cylinders.  So, to play a game at my favorite stadium and get the win felt pretty good.
