Tues 6/5: Ross Stripling vs. Joe Musgrove, 4p
Wed 6/6: Caleb Ferguson vs. Trevor Williams, 4p
Thu 6/7: Dennis Santana vs. Jameson Taillon, 9.30a
The Dodgers have won their last three (sweeping Colorado) and have not lost any of their last five series, going 11-5. And yet I see names like Caleb Ferguson (no MLB experience) and Dennis Santana (12.27 ERA, though one "win"), and I'm worried as all get out. The Bucs are above .500, unlike the Dodgers. Can we eke out another series win?
(We're up 2-0 in the first game, through two innings, thanks to a Joc Pederson HR which scored Matt Kemp. So that's a good start.)

Thanks, Sax, for the riveting content!
Hey we're winning! 4-0 in the 4th
Yep 4-0. Pederson HR (2-run) in the 2nd; Kemp sac fly to score CT3 in the third; Puig solo shot in the fourth.
Strips Ks Josh Bell with a man on first, to end the fourth. 4-0 LA through 4
Bases loaded in B5, but Josh Harrison flies out to Matt Kemp to end the inning.
4-0 LA through five.
Towering Bellinger shot to center. 9th HR. Good for that kid.
5-0 LA, Top 6, two out.
Alexander has a man reach, but gets out of it. 5-0 LA through 6
Nice to see Cody off the schneid.
WIN

Ferguson...not a phenom.
We were losing 4-0 and I blinked and now we're tied!
And now we're losing again! Fun!
Not a good debut by Ferguson. 1.2 IP, 2H, 4 ER, 3 BB, 3 Ks. ERA of 21.60.
Ugh
At least Codylove got his tenth, the second in as many games.
6-4 PIT, mid 4
Carnitas burritos, 2 for $5 at Del Taco. That's unfreshingbelievable.
shit we're down 8-4 now! Kemp up with two on and one out, T5
Max Muncy on second; JT on first
Kemp just hits one out! 8-7 PIT
7-11
Yimi Garcia chokes in the sixth, giving up four runs (two of them charged to Alexander). We're now down 11-7, T7
still down 11-7, top 8.
Second and third, no out, and Puig is up there just HACKING with a 3-2 count
Puig flies out to foul territory in deep right. Dammit.
Forsythe pops to fucking second base. He is 0-for-4.
Forsythe is an albatross.
Grandal is up there hacking, but luckily the Pirates pitcher balks so we get a run! That may be the only way a run scores here. 11-8, Grandal still up with a man on third and two out
Grandal singles to score Cody! 11-9
We lose. Boooooo

Roberts told me that while Santana was warming up in the bullpen, his slider just didn’t look right. Didn’t elaborate as to whether he was injured.
CT3 caught looking with 2 RISP. 3-1 LA on a Kemp groundout. Mid 5
@Orel 9.55a: Are you telling me Santana didn't look smooth?
3-1 LA T6, man on Valera with one out, Puig PH.
PNC park is pretty empty
Puig CRUSHES a very long double to center, which just missed being a HR. Valera scores. 4-1 LA, Puig on second. Nice job Yasiel
Jocstrap is up. He's got a .269 average now, which is a credit to his hitting of late
Pederson is 2-for-3 in this game with a HR and a double. Pitch gets by the catcher, Puig takes third
8-7 WIN! Dodgers take the series, take 15 of their last 20.
