Dodgers click with 10 extra-base hits, crush Pirates

Usanewsposts
May 11, 20220

PITTSBURGH — The Dodgers are the only team averaging five runs per game in baseball’s suppressed offensive environment – 5.21 after Tuesday’s 11-1 rout of the Pittsburgh Pirates – and have scored 50 while winning seven of their past eight games.

And they’re doing this with one arm tied behind their backs?

“It’s pretty amazing,” Freddie Freeman said during the weekend in Chicago, the latest Dodger to point out how their lineup has yet to hit on all cylinders. “Twenty-six games in, that we’re not completely clicking and we’re 19-7.”

Update the record to 20-8 after one of those players who has not been clicking, Justin Turner, led the extra-base buffet against the Pirates by driving in four runs with three doubles.

The Dodgers had 10 extra-base hits in Tuesday’s win (short of the franchise record, 13) including eight doubles (tying the Los Angeles franchise record).

The parade of extra-base hits began in the first inning when Freeman, Trea Turner and Justin Turner each doubled, producing two runs. The five-run third inning featured three more doubles. Justin Turner and Austin Barnes each drove in two runs with theirs. Another run scored on an RBI single by Edwin Rios.

It was the sixth time already this season that the Dodgers have scored five or more runs in a single inning.

The Dodgers added some diversity in the four-run seventh, adding a triple by Max Muncy (when Pirates center fielder Bryan Reynolds came up empty on a diving attempt) and a towering two-run home run by Rios.

One facet of the team that has definitely been clicking – the pitching – had another outstanding night, holding the Pirates to four hits.

Tony Gonsolin went the first five innings, holding the Pirates scoreless on one hit. He survived some early trouble (mostly created by his four walks in the first three innings) with the help of Mookie Betts – the only player in the …read more

None of their matchups last season had a margin of more than six runs on either side. But one botched dribbler and a couple home…
