Two bases-loaded, nobody-out situations in three innings proved one too many for the Dodgers, who fell to the Pirates 5-4 in 10 innings on Friday night at PNC Park in Pittsburgh. a Pedro Alvarez lined a single into right field over a five-man infield to score Jung Ho Kang for the game-winner.
Jim Johnson pitched a scoreless ninth inning on 12 pitches, but began his second inning of work with a four-pitch walk to Kang, followed by a sharp single to left field by Francisco Cervelli.
