Blake Snell shines for 3rd straight start, Dodgers extend winning streak to 6 by sweeping Pirates

Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Blake Snell delivered a strong performance in his third consecutive start, as the team extended their winning streak to six games by defeating the Pittsburgh Pirates 4-0 on Sunday. Snell pitched six scoreless innings, allowing only two hits and three walks, which allowed him to end the game with a 97 mph fastball for his sixth strikeout.

The victory came after the Dodgers won their first three games in August following a three-month absence due to elbow surgery. The Dodgers' resurgence was highlighted by a successful outing from Snell, who had previously struggled with inconsistent play. The Pirates, on the other hand, have dropped eight of their past nine road games, with starting pitcher Lake Bachar allowing one run in two innings.
