Luke Walker pitched a four-hitter and Bob Robertson rapped his 20th homer of the season as the Pirates defeated the Dodgers, 4-0. In addition to his homer for the Pirates' first run in the second inning, Robertson also accounted for their last marker with a sacrifice fly in the eighth. [The Sporting News]
