Pirates 3, Dodgers 0: Shutout again despite being gifted scoring chances

It’s really remarkable how they find ways to disappoint at this juncture, but the Dodgers have dropped another series to a sub-.500 team after a 3-0 loss to the Pirates, and they’re in major danger of being swept tomorrow.

More frustrating is the way it happened, as they went 0-for-7 with RISP. They stranded the bases loaded with nobody out in the 2nd, the bases loaded again with two outs in the 3rd, the runners cornered with one out in the 5th, and two on with two outs in the 7th.

Oh and Will Smith might be injured.

They will try to avoid being swept tomorrow on SNLA at 12:40 PM HT/3:40 PM PT/6:40 PM ET. It’ll be a tough one as Blake Snell will draw a matchup against Paul Skenes.
