LOS ANGELES -- As the Pirates seek to improve their offense across the board, getting designated hitter Andrew McCutchen going will be a major factor. And McCutchen wrapped a strong road trip with his best offensive showing so far this year, going 4-for-4 with a homer in Pittsburgh’s 9-2 loss to the Dodgers at Dodger Stadium. "Cutch is having good swings,” said manager Derek Shelton. “... The first four days of the road trip, he had been really hot.

LOS ÁNGELES -- El dominicano Oneil Cruz y el primer bate parecen estar hechos el uno para el otro. Eso quedó claro desde el primer lanzamiento del partido de sus Piratas el sábado en el Dodger Stadium. Con otro jonrón iniciando el juego, un fuerte sencillo productor y una base por bolas, Cruz siguió encendido en la derrota de los Piratas por 8-4 ante los Dodgers -- una tendencia que se ha mantenido durante aproximadamente dos semanas, desde que comenzó a encabezar la alineación de Pittsburgh.

LOS ANGELES -- Oneil Cruz and the leadoff spot are looking as though they were meant for each other. That was clear from pitch one on Saturday night at Dodger Stadium. With yet another game-opening home run, a hard-hit RBI single and a walk, Cruz’s bat stayed blazing in the Pirates’ 8-4 loss to the Dodgers -- a trend that has been in effect for about two weeks now, ever since he began regularly hitting atop Pittsburgh’s order.

Toglia breaks through in grand fashion with first '25 HR

LOS ANGELES -- A day off isn’t a magical fix for a scuffling ballplayer, but an opportunity to reset can nonetheless prove hugely valuable. Just ask Michael Toglia. Through his first 16 games of 2025, Toglia went homerless as he struggled to get much going offensively. It got to the point where manager Bud Black decided to take Toglia out of the lineup for a day, sitting him for Tuesday’s middle game at Dodger Stadium.

1 month ago | mlb.com | Sarah Wexler

Just days ago, it was unclear if Mookie Betts would be ready for the Dodgers' home opener. For two weeks, the shortstop had dealt with an undiagnosed illness that caused him to vomit every time he ate solid foods, leading to him dropping 18 pounds, down from 175 to 157. His condition kept him out of the Dodgers' season-opening games in Tokyo, as well as two exhibition games against the Angels on Sunday and Monday.
