Pirates beat Dodgers 15-8

PITTSBURGH (AP) — Adam LaRoche hit a grand slam among his two homers and the Pittsburgh Pirates stalled the Los Angeles Dodgers’ late-season surge with an eight-run seventh inning rally that keyed a 15-8 victory Wednesday night.

Ryan Doumit, who drove in four runs, hit a go-ahead, two-run homer as nine consecutive batters reached base in the seventh after reliever Scott Proctor retired the first two batters, only to be lifted. Los Angeles had bounced back to tie it in the top of the inning after trailing 7-4.

The nightmarish seventh inning was one of the Dodgers’ few blips during a late-season run in which they won 14 of 16.
