LOS ANGELES DODGERS (89-36) at Pittsburgh Pirates (61-66) LHP Hyun-Jin Ryu (4-6, 3.45) vs. RHP Chad Kuhl (6-8, 4.52) Thursday, August 24, 2017 4:05 p.m. ET PNC Park Pittsburgh, PA Game 126 Road Game 61 (38-22) Day Game 35 (25-9) TV: SNLA/SNLA Spanish Radio: AM 570 (Eng.); 1020 AM (Span.) TURN THE PAGE: The Dodgers conclude their seven-game road trip (4-2), and look to bounce back and earn a series win in the finale of their four-game set at PNC Park following last night s heartbreaking 1-0 loss in 10 innings. The team will return to Los Angeles tonight and will open a brief three-game homestand tomorrow against the Milwaukee Brewers. With a win today, Los Angeles would become the first team in the Majors to reach 90 wins. The earliest date the franchise has ever reached 90 wins is Aug. 31, accomplished by the 1953 club, and the earliest by games played in 131, done by the 1942 and 1953 teams (90-40-1) Source: Stats, LLC. If the Dodgers were to reach 90 wins today, they would join a select group of teams to reach the mark in 126 games or fewer: Most Wins in First 126 Games of Season Since 1900 (ignores all ties) 1. 1998 New York Yankees 94 1906 Chicago Cubs 94 3. 1902 Pittsburgh Pirates 93 1904 New York Giants 93 5. 1944 St. Louis Cardinals 92 6. 1907 Chicago Cubs 91 7. 1905 New York Giants 90 1909 Pittsburgh Pirates 90 1931 Philadelphia Athletics 90 1954 Cleveland Indians 90 2001 Seattle Mariners 90 Source: Stats, LLC Los Angeles has earned at least a split in its series with Pittsburgh, ensuring that it will remain unbeaten in its last 22 series since June 9, posting an 18-0-3 series record in that span. WHAT. JUST. HAPPENED: Despite the loss, congratulations are in order to Rich Hill on his masterful pitching performance last night, taking his bid for a perfect game into the ninth inning, and completing 9.0 hitless frames before surrendering a home run in the 10 th. According to the Elias Sports Bureau, this marked the first time in Major League history that a walk-off home run broke up a nohitter. Elias also notes that Hill became the first pitcher to lose a nohit bid in the 10 th inning or later since the Expos Pedro Martinez took his bid for a perfect game into the 10 th inning on June 3, 1995 vs. the Padres before being pulled after a leadoff double. The loss snapped a five-game winning streak for Hill, who has posted a 2.25 ERA (14 ER/56.0 IP),.183 opponents batting average (37-for-202) and a 0.88 WHIP in his last nine starts since July 1. At 37, Hill, who also tossed 7.0 perfect innings on Sept. 10, 2016 at Miami before being removed, would have been the second-oldest pitcher ever to throw perfect game (Randy Johnson, 40) Source: Elias Sports Bureau.
