Pirates Edge Dodgers In Ninth Inning Marathon
Westlakes homer in the ninth propelled the Pirates to an 8-7 win over the Dodgers. Brooklyn built a 4-3 lead before Pittsburgh countered late, aided by three-run rallies and a bustling eighth inning. Kirby Higbe earned the win for Pittsburgh while Kiner and Robinson supplied key Dodgers hits. The loss ends Brooklyn’s bid to halt St Louis’s pennant push as they return home to face Boston.
