The Pirates took a 7-2 lead after four innings against Dodgers starter Noah Syndergaard, but the visitors chipped away and finally took the lead on Taylor’s homer in the eighth for their third win …
PITTSBURGH — The pain in his side from a minor oblique injury couldn’t have been as bad as the pain Chris Taylor must have felt when he saw his batting average displayed on large scoreboards across the country.
The comeback gave the Dodgers their second three-game winning streak of the season and moved them two games over .500 for the first time in 2½ weeks.Noah Syndergaard was roughed up for those seven runs in just four innings, his ERA rising to 6.58 in the process. The real speed is being shown by runners once they reach base against Syndergaard. Always one of the worst in the league at controlling the running game, MLB’s new rules have not worked in Syndergaard’s favor. He has allowed nine steals in nine attempts during his 26 innings this year.Tucupita Marcano singled and stole second in the first inning then scored the Pirates’ first run on Carlos Santana’s two-out RBI single.
