Dodgers Squelch Pirates Offense in Shutout Win
The Los Angeles Dodgers went home winners at Dodger Stadium, thanks in large part to starter José Cruz. Cruz stifled the Pittsburgh Pirates, enabling Los Angeles to grab the 6-0 win. Los Angeles leads the National League West Division by 27½ games.

Los Angeles shortstop Dan Fletcher contributed a timely at-bat in the bottom of the sixth. With two down, he hit a fastball to center field for a 2-run single. It was his 105th hit of the season and put the Dodgers ahead, 4-0.

"I was able to change speeds effectively tonight," said Cruz.
