Pounding out 14 hits, the Dodgers rolled over the Pirates, 6-2. Los Angeles scored twice in the fourth inning on Mike Scioscia's single and a sacrifice fly by Bill Russell. A two-run triple by Pedro Guerrero keyed a three-run fifth and the final Dodgers marker came in the sixth on a pinch-homer by Jay Johnstone. [The Sporting News]
