Blake Snell Blanks Pirates as Dodgers Win Sixth Straight
Blake Snell allowed two hits and six strikeouts as the Dodgers completed a three-game sweep and won their sixth straight game, officials said.
On Sunday, Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Blake Snell threw 6 scoreless innings, leading the team to a 4-0 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates at Dodger Stadium.
Snell, returning from a three-month absence due to elbow surgery, has won consecutive starts; the Dodgers have extended their winning streak to six games and earned their 80th win of the season.
Filling in for injured center fielder Andy Pages, Alek Thomas and catcher Hunter Feduccia contributed consecutive two-out RBI singles in the fourth inning to extend the Dodgers' lead.
Shohei Ohtani threw 30 pitches in a live batting-practice session Saturday, marking his first time facing hitters since July 3 as he works toward a potential September return.
The Dodgers next travel to face the Atlanta Braves in a three-game series beginning Tuesday, with right-handed pitcher Tyler Glasnow set to start the series opener.
