PITTSBURGH — On Monday, the Pirates played one of their best games of the young season, pitching a gem in a 5-1 win over the perennial powerhouse Los Angeles Dodgers.
On Tuesday, the Dodgers performed about how most would have expected them to against the Pirates, dominating in an 11-1 win to set up a rubber match in the series finale Wednesday.
It didn’t take long for the direction of Tuesday’s game to become clear. Right-hander Bryse Wilson, making his return to the rotation after two straight scoreless relief appearances, allowed three doubles in the first inning, scoring two Dodgers’ runs.
