► FOLLOW ALONG
• Horwitz singles but nothing else in the fourth for the Pirates. Yohan Ramirez gets the fifth.
• A total of 42 swings against Keller and only four swings and misses.
• Have to imagine Keller is done after throwing 98 pitches through four innings. Allowed five runs on seven hits with four walks and two HBPs over four innings.
• RUN: Pages scores on a wild pitch. Just ugly stuff here. Dodgers, 5-0
• RUN: Three straight two-out hits against Keller here in the fourth, including an RBI single from Freeman. Dodgers, 4-0
• And just like that, the Dodgers are out of the inning. Gonzales flies out and Lowe grounds into the 4-6-3 double play.
• Triolo singles to left to put two on for the top of the order.
• Two plate appearances in two games and two walks for Flores.
• Surely looks like it’s going to be a short night for Keller. Already at 67 pitches through three innings.
• RUNS: Keller hits Muncy to load the bases and Tucker follows with a bloop single that scores two. Dodgers, 3-0
• An easier catch for Reynolds than the one he had last night, but he makes a nice snag near the left-field wall for the second out.
• Keller leaves a slider over the plate on a Pages single and then hits Freeman with an 0-2 sinker. From bad to worse.
• HOME RUN: Keller leaves a 3-2 sweeper at the bottom of the zone and Ohtani sends a solo shot out to right-center field. Just made it look easy. Dodgers, 1-0
• Wrobleski tosses just eight pitches in setting the Pirates down in order in the second.
• Keller works from ahead in the count and has a much cleaner second inning. Strikes out two of the three batters he faces.
• The Pirates get a baserunner on a one-out walk to Lowe, but can’t bring him in.
• Keller allows a walk to Freeman and a single to Betts to put runners on the corners, but Muncy grounds out 4-3 to end the first.
• Pages grounds into a 6-4-3 double play.
• Ohtani reaches on a walk right out of the gate.
