LOS ANGELES — This one was easy for the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Chris Taylor hit a grand slam during a six-run first inning, Alex Wood and two relievers combined for 17 strikeouts and the Dodgers rolled over the Pittsburgh Pirates 12-1 on Monday night.

“It was fun tonight,” Taylor said.

At least for the Dodgers. Pittsburgh was behind 10-0 after four innings.

“The beauty of this game is games like this only count as one loss,” Pirates manager Clint Hurdle said.

The Dodgers have won three straight and eight of 10. Their 15 hits tied a season high.

Yasiel Puig added a solo homer in the first as Los Angeles jumped all over Trevor Williams (1-2), who was filling in for Jameson Taillon after he had surgery Monday for suspected testicular cancer.

In his fourth start, Wood (3-0) threw five scoreless innings, holding the Pirates to two hits and a walk while striking out a season-high 11. Ross Stripling allowed a run but fanned five over three innings, and Adam Liberatore added a strikeout during a perfect ninth.

“It was a complete game by us,” Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said.

Wood got his chance to start when injuries depleted Los Angeles’ rotation.
