Enrique Hernandez hit a game-tying double in the 10th inning and scored on Teoscar Hernandez’s two-out single as the Los Angeles Dodgers completed a three-game sweep of the slumping Pittsburgh Pirates with a 6-5 victory Sunday.

The Dodgers won for the sixth time in their last eight games after the Pirates rallied to take the lead in the 10th inning on Bryan Reynolds’ RBI single.

Teoscar Hernandez hit a two-run double and Tyler Glasnow allowed two runs and five hits in seven innings against his former team. Evan Phillips (3-0) got the win.

Dodgers star Shohei Ohtani tripled but is 7 for 50 (.140) in his last 12 games and scored the winning run at second base in the 10th. He homered against the Pirates on Friday.

Andrew McCutchen hit a pair of two-run homers in his return to the lineup after missing three games because of knee soreness as the Pirates lost their season-high seventh straight game.

Pittsburgh left-hander Bailey Falter allowed four runs and seven hits in four-plus innings in his third start since returning from triceps tendinitis. Pirates right-hander David Bednar (3-5) took the loss and has allowed one run in five straight outings.

The Dodgers got off to a fast start against Falter, getting a two-out RBI double from Will Smith in the first inning followed by an RBI single from Amed Rosario.

Los Angeles made it 4-0 in the second inning when Enrique Hernandez singled, Andy Pages doubled and Teoscar Hernandez hit a two-run double to left field. Enrique Hernandez had three hits and Teoscar Hernandez drove in a run in all three games of the series.

The Pirates got to Glasnow in the third inning. Ji Hwan Bae doubled and McCutchen hit a two-run homer to right field that hit the top of the wall just over Pages’ outstretched glove.

McCutchen tied the score at 4-4 in the eighth inning with a two-run homer off left-hander Anthony Banda. It was his 16th homer of the season and the 20th multi-homer game of his career. His last came in 2022 as a member of the Milwaukee Brewers, against the Dodgers.
