Matt Morris once again got hammered and the Pittsburgh Pirates once again lost, this time to the Los Angeles Dodgers by the score of 11-2. Morris was only able to last 4.2 innings as he gave up seven hits and six earned runs. As a starting pitcher, you can’t put your team in a big hole like that if you want the team to win. Hopefully Morris will figure out what is going wrong and fix it before his next start.
Phil Dumatrait pitched 1.1 innings in relief of Morris and gave two hits an two earned runs. Evan Meek pitched the final two innings and gave up four hits and two earned runs. I don’t know how long Meek will stay on the Pirates roster, he has sucked it up almost everytime he has been called on.
Freddy Sanchez and Ronny Paulino had an RBI each for the Pirtes. The entire Pirates offense struggled against the Dodgers pitching staff and could never get anything going.
