Craig Kimbrel crumbles against Pirates for his first blown save with Dodgers
The winning run scored on an uncharacteristic error by first baseman, but Kimbrel had set the table with a walk and a wild pitch ahead of a run-scoring single that tied the score. Cal Mitchell shot a ground ball that handcuffed Freeman’s backhand attempt, allowing Michael Chavis to score.
Buehler’s early missteps put the Dodgers in a hole. Marcano’s blast to right field off a 95.8-mph fastball was the first of his big league career. He hit only 12 homers in nearly 1,500 minor league plate appearances. The more accomplished Bryan Reynolds homered in the third, also off Buehler’s four-seam fastball.
Heaney pitched two innings against Dodgers minor leaguers from the Dodger Stadium mound and struck out all seven he faced. He threw 24 strikes in 33 pitches and looked as effective as he was in his last start April 17, when he struck out 11 and allowed one hit in six scoreless innings. “Knock on wood, I don’t feel anything,” Heaney said. “I’m definitely getting back to executing pitches and doing what I was doing. I’m not thinking about how it feels or anything like that.”
“He was outstanding,” Roberts said. “He might argue that it wasn’t outstanding, but he used his entire pitch mix.”
