The Los Angeles Dodgers squandered opportunities early but ultimately came up with enough timely hits to extend their winning streak to five games by defeating the Pittsburgh Pirates, 4-3.
The Dodgers had two men reach with nobody out in each of the first two innings, only to strand the runners both times. Corey Seager then led off the bottom of the third with a double but only advanced to third base when Cody Bellinger blooped in a hustle extra-base hit.
AJ Pollock followed with more soft contact, as his two-run single gave the Dodgers a 2-0 lead.
