Ivan Nova, Pirates’ pen shut down Dodgers

LOS ANGELES >> The Dodgers messed up the formula. They had been winning without their starting pitchers going long. But this time, the offense came up short.Rookie right-hander Ross Stripling gave the Dodgers just their third seven-inning start in the past 43 games. But he also gave up five runs and the Dodgers offense failed to provide the crucial ingredient, turning 12 hits into just one run in a 5-1 loss to the Pittsburgh Pirates on Friday night.
