Pirates vs. Dodgers Preview: Pittsburgh Looking to Avoid Sweep
Can the Pittsburgh Pirates avoid being swept for the second straight series?
That’s the task at hand for the Pirates when they wrap up their three-game series against the Los Angeles Dodgers on Sunday. The winner of Sunday’s matchup will also take the season series, as both teams have won three games apiece through their six matchups.
The Pirates’ losing streak was extended to six with a 4-1 loss on Saturday despite having Paul Skenes on the mound. Skenes pitched six innings, struck out eight batters and allowed four earned runs, which is the most of his MLB career through 15 starts. The 6-foot-6 flamethrower had no answer for Gavin Lux, who drove in three of the four runs scored against Skenes.
Teoscar Hernandez added a solo home run in the fifth inning. Skenes is now 6-2 and has gone over a month without a win.
Pittsburgh had nine hits but didn’t crack the scoreboard until the ninth inning on a solo home run from Ke’Bryan Hayes. Isiah Kiner-Falefa, Bryan Reynolds and Michael Taylor each had two-hit games for the Pirates.
Pittsburgh will face a familiar face in Tyler Glasnow, who will get the start for the Dodgers. The 6-foot-8 right-hander spent the first two-plus seasons with the Pirates before getting traded midseason to the Tampa Bay Rays in 2018. Glasnow, 30, is 9-6 with a 3.54 earned run average in 127 innings and has struck out 164 batters in his first season with the Dodgers.
The Pirates will have 27-year-old left-hander Bailey Falter on the mount. Falter is 5-7 with a 3.87 ERA and has struck out 65 batters across 97.2 innings pitched.

Budget airline Breeze launching nonstop flights from Pittsburgh to Myrtle Beach this summer
The budget airline Breeze is launching a new nonstop route from Pittsburgh to Myrtle Beach this summer.
Breeze announced on Tuesday that its new route will fly from Pittsburgh to the popular summer vacation spot in South Carolina on Mondays and Fridays, starting July 3.
“We are excited to now offer Myrtle Beach as a destination for our Pittsburgh Guests,” David Neeleman, the founder and CEO of Breeze Airways, said in a news release. “This new nonstop gives travelers an easy and affordable way to enjoy one of the East Coast’s most popular beach destinations.”
The airport says Breeze is the fourth carrier to offer nonstop service to Myrtle Beach, joining Allegiant Air, Southwest and Spirit Airlines. By airline count, that makes Myrtle Beach one of the airport’s busiest nonstop markets.
It comes after Breeze last month announced that it would launch twice-weekly seasonal nonstop service between Pittsburgh and Louisville this spring. Breeze now has 15 nonstop destinations from Pittsburgh, putting it behind only Southwest, which has 21.
The flight from Pittsburgh to Myrtle Beach is about two hours, saving families from a day of driving, the airport says.
“Myrtle Beach continues to be a popular destination for Pittsburghers and this flight offers people in our region more nonstop options to get there,” Bryan Dietz, the airport’s senior vice president of air service and commercial development, said in a news release.
Service will be operated with a 137-seat Airbus A220-300 aircraft. It will leave from Pittsburgh at 12:17 p.m., arriving at Myrtle Beach at 1:51 p.m. The inbound flight will leave Myrtle Beach at 10 a.m. and get into Pittsburgh at 11:37 a.m.
