The Dodgers broke their three-game losing streak with a decisive 8-4 victory over the Pirates, thanks to key contributions from Teoscar and Kiké Hernández. Teoscar's lead-off home run in the eighth and Kiké's pinch-hit three-run blast turned the game around, showcasing the Dodgers' power despite a mediocre batting average of .233. Max Muncy's struggles continued, as he remains homerless, while Shohei Ohtani shone with multiple hits. Roki Sasaki pitched well, striking out four in 5.2 innings, and is seeking his first MLB win.
