LOS ANGELES — As the oldest player on the Pirates’ active roster and the only one other than Roberto Perez who was born in the 1980s, Quintana was 11 years old the last time the Pirates swept a series at Dodger Stadium.
Over more than two decades, Pittsburghers witnessed the opening of PNC Park, Heinz Field and PPG Paints Arena ... but they never saw the Pirates sweep the Dodgers in Los Angeles.
That changed on a gorgeous Wednesday evening in Southern California, as Quintana and his plucky Pirates cruised past the Dodgers, 8-2, to complete the unlikeliest of series sweeps before setting off for what had to be a raucous flight home.
