The Los Angeles Dodgers completed a three-game sweep over the Pittsburgh Pirates on Independence Day, propelled by the offense manufacturing runs in addition to another solid performance from Rich Hill.
Hill earned his second win of the season, logging five innings pitched of two-run ball while compiling five strikeouts to just one walk. The southpaw was removed from his outing with neck tightness after throwing only 73 pitches in the contest, but is considered day-to-day as the injury isn’t believed to be serious.
The 38-year-old’s setback occurred on the base paths, when Hill slid head-first into home plate while attempting to score from third base on a fly ball hit to Pirates center fielder Starling Marte.
