The Associated Press

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Jack Flaherty struck out 10 in his Dodger Stadium debut, Shohei Ohtani’s two-run homer highlighted a five-run third inning and Los Angeles beat the Pittsburgh Pirates 9-5 on Friday night. It was a needed win for the NL West-leading Dodgers after San Diego and Arizona also won. The Dodgers’ lead over the Padres is 2 1/2 games, their slimmest in months. “We’re very aware of it,” Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said. “That just puts the onus on us to play good baseball.” Flaherty (9-5) got the victory in his first start at home since joining the Dodgers from Detroit before last month’s trade deadline. The native of nearby Burbank made his first appearance at the stadium as a 6-month-old when his mother brought him to a game.

We’re back with another week of the PLV report. This series will use the PLV metrics to contextualize player performance, and this week we’ll use our PLV model (Nick’s primer on PLV from last year can be found here) and subsequent hitter metrics (especially Process+, which you can read about here). With per-pitch quality, we can make Hitter PLV metrics that adjust a hitter’s Decisions, Contact, and Power based on the quality of the pitches they’ve faced. Our newest hitter metric, Process+, combines our hitter stats into a single, per-pitch value metric. Note: Process+ is scaled per-pitch, and values tend to be closer to 100 than they are for wRC+, in both directions.
