Dodgers starter Alex Wood was rolling merrily along Sunday night in Pittsburgh, but his eventual struggles signaled a collapse for his team in a lopsided loss.
Wood finished having allowed three runs on five hits in five innings with three walks and five strikeouts.
All was well through three shutout innings and he even had a 5-1 lead in the fourth. But a titanic home run by Andrew McCutchen in the fifth all but ended his night.
Wood has been inconsistent at best in his last several starts with Atlanta and Los Angeles. He has surrendered 21 runs in his last 37 innings pitched covering six outings.
