22 Aug
Summary
- Dodgers secured a 5-4 victory over the Pirates in 10 innings.
- Oneil Cruz's eighth-inning homer tied the game for the Pirates.
- Tommy Edman's RBI single in the 10th inning secured the win.
The Los Angeles Dodgers extended their winning streak to four games with a narrow 5-4 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates in 10 innings. The Pirates, seeking a season-high third consecutive series win, rallied to tie the score in the eighth inning thanks to Oneil Cruz's two-run homer.
However, the Dodgers secured the win in the bottom of the 10th when Tommy Edman delivered an RBI single. This decisive hit came after the Pirates had managed to load the bases but ultimately grounded into an inning-ending double play.
The game saw both teams trade blows, with Max Muncy's two-run homer and Mookie Betts' two-run single giving the Dodgers an early lead. Pirates' Nick Gonzales contributed with two RBI singles, and Cruz's late-game heroics kept them in contention before the extra-inning heartbreak.
