Los Angeles Dodgers

The Los Angeles Dodgers beat the Pittsburgh Pirates, 8-6, on Thursday evening and improved to 44-25 on the year as they win the series at PNC Park.

Superstar Shohei Ohtani homered for the second straight day with a third inning solo shot. Kyle Tucker singled in a pair of runs later that inning while Freddie Freeman singled in a run of his own in the fourth.

After a three-run fifth inning from the Pirates to come within one, the Dodgers responded with a two-run inning in the seventh. Miguel Rojas grounded in a run and Dalton Rushing was brought home via a wild pitch from Pirates reliever Evan Sisk.

Rojas produced another run the next inning thanks to a sacrifice fly, and despite two runs by Pittsburgh in the eighth, the defending champions held on to take the series.

In an unfortunate turn of events during the seventh inning of the eventual victory, Ohtani exited due to knee inflammation. Manager Dave Roberts spoke on his four-time MVP after the game and seemed hopeful that the designated hitter will be back in the lineup for Friday's series opener against the Chicago White Sox.

Additionally, Ohtani wasn't the only Dodger to go down with an injury as southpaw Justin Wrobleski left his start early due to a leg injury.

After allowing two home runs in the fifth inning, Wrobleski was hit with a comebacker and collided with that same batter while running to cover first base. He suffered a hamstring contusion, but Roberts expects him to make his next start.

Finally, the Dodgers lost an All-Star to the injured list in an unfortunately familiar sight for the defending champions. In a corresponding move, a 31-year-old veteran was called up to start a second stint with the Dodgers.
