The Dodgers blew away the Pirates Monday night 17-1. It is the fifth time this season a team scored at least 17 runs in a game. The Dodgers collected 21 hits and six walks, while Pittsburgh made three errors. Los Angeles hit four home runs in the game, but three of them were solo shots and the quartet of long balls accounted for just six of the runs. The Dodgers hitters just kept coming to the plate with men on base and delivering, going 9 for 21 with runners in scoring position. Matt Kemp had the big night, going 5 for 5 with a double and a home run.
The Dodgers have scored at least 12 runs five times this season. The Cubs lead the majors scoring at least 12 runs seven times. Cleveland, Toronto, and Milwaukee are tied with the Dodgers with five such games.
