In a dramatic finish, Teoscar Hernández delivered a game-ending RBI single in the 10th inning, leading the Los Angeles Dodgers to a 6-5 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates on Sunday. This win marked the Pirates' seventh consecutive defeat, their longest losing streak of the season. The Dodgers initially tied the game in the 10th with a clutch RBI double from Kiké Hernández, who later scored on Teoscar's decisive hit. Dodgers pitcher Tyler Glasnow, facing his former team, showcased a strong performance, allowing just two runs on five hits over seven innings. Glasnow, who was drafted by the Pirates in 2011, had a notable return to the mound against the team that brought him to the majors. Meanwhile, Pirates veteran Andrew McCutchen made an impact in his return to the leadoff spot, hitting two home runs after missing three games due to knee soreness. The game saw the Dodgers take an early lead, scoring in the first inning with Freddie Freeman and Will Smith contributing doubles. Teoscar Hernández added two more runs in the second inning, further solidifying the Dodgers' offensive momentum. However, the Pirates fought back, with Bryan Reynolds giving them a brief 5-4 lead in the 10th before the Dodgers clinched the win. Looking ahead, the Pirates are still determining their starting pitcher for the upcoming series against San Diego, while the Dodgers anticipate the return of Max Muncy and Tommy Edman from rehab assignments during their homestand.
