Recap: Brandon McCarthy Goes Less Than 2 and Joc Pederson Homers in 8-4 Victory Over Pirates
The Dodgers are currently sitting one game behind the first place Giants after sharing the division with them for less than a day. On Saturday they played the second game of the series against the Pirates with Brandon McCarthy getting the start. Unfortunately, McCarthy would last less that two innings but the boys in blue still found a way to get it done!
Let’s take a look at the highlights!
Justin Turner has been scratched with a right hand contusion, replaced by Rob Segedin at third base.

The Pirates got off to a quick start getting 1 run in the top of the first, but nothing to brag about on their part. Brandon McCarthy struggled with his command and walked the run in.
