Pirates offense too much for Dodgers

The Pirates have taken the first 3 of this 4-game series, winning today 9-3.  Fred Lindstrom finished 3-for-5 with a home run and 2 RBI's.  He played well, and really, the whole Pirates lineup did as they pounded out 15 hits.  Larry French gets the win for Pittsburgh; he went 8 innings, allowing 3 earned runs.  With the loss, the Dodgers are now 73-73.

The Pirates scored 4 in the 6th inning to make it 7-2.  Catcher Tom Padden led off with a walk and then swiped 2nd on a steal.  Larry French then tried to lay down a sac bunt but the lead runner was thrown out.  Lloyd Waner walked, then Woody Jensen singled to load the bases.  Fred Lindstrom then hit into a force play as the runner on 3rd was thrown out at the plate.  Would the Dodgers escape this big jam?  No.  Arky Vaughan hit a dribbler in front of the plate that Al Lopez threw away (a big 2-base error) and 3 runs scored.  That put the game firmly in Pittsburgh's hand.  At this point they had a 96% chance of winning the game (they'd had a 69% chance to win it going into the inning).

Danny Taylor finished 3-for-4 for the Dodgers with a run scored and an RBI.  Charlie Perkins picks up the loss, though he didn't pitch poorly.  He went 6.1 innings, allowing 9 hits, 6 runs (3 earned), 4 walks, 0 strikeouts.
