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

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

Teoscar Hernandez had a two-run double and Tyler Glasnow gave up two runs on five hits in seven innings against his former team. Evan Phillips (3-0) earned the win.

Dodgers star Shohei Ohtani had a triple but is 7-for-50 (.140) over his past 12 games and popped out with the game-winning run at second base in the 10th. He hit a home run against the Pirates on Friday.

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

Pittsburgh left-hander Bailey Falter gave up four runs on seven hits over four-plus innings in his third start since returning from triceps tendonitis. Pirates right-hander David Bednar (3-5) took the loss and has given up a run in five consecutive outings.

The Dodgers had 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 home run to right field off the top of the wall, just past the outstretched glove of Pages.

McCutchen tied it 4-4 in the eighth with a two-run home run off left-hander Anthony Banda. It was his 16th home run 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.
