Los Angeles Dodgers beat Pittsburgh Pirates Friday night<\/p>\n

\"AssociatedLOS ANGELES \u2014<\/p>\n

Tommy Edman singled in the winning run with two strikes in the 10th inning, lifting the Los Angeles Dodgers over the Pittsburgh Pirates 5-4 on Friday night.<\/p>\n

Edman hit a line drive to left field off Gregory Soto (5-4), scoring automatic runner Kik\u00e9 Hern\u00e1ndez from third, keeping the Dodgers as the only undefeated team in extra innings in the majors with a 5-0 record.<\/p>\n

With Hern\u00e1ndez starting at second, pinch-hitter Alex Call struck out and Mookie Betts was intentionally walked. Kyle Tucker grounded into a fielder\u2019s choice to second, where Betts was out.<\/p>\n

Evan Phillips (1-2) got the win with one inning of relief.<\/p>\n

The NL West-leading Dodgers have won eight of their last 11.<\/p>\n

Pittsburgh\u2019s Oneil Cruz hit a two-run homer off reliever Kyle Hurt in the eighth to make it 4-4.<\/p>\n

Betts hit a two-run single with two outs in the third to make it 4-2.<\/p>\n

Dodgers starter Yoshinobu Yamamoto allowed two runs and five hits in 6 1\/3 innings with nine strikeouts.<\/p>\n

The Japanese right-hander was lifted after putting the tying runs aboard in the seventh. Jake Mangum had a leadoff double and Yamamoto hit Jared Triolo. Reliever Brock Stewart came on to retire the next two batters and end the inning.<\/p>\n

Pirates reliever Luke Bachar set up the struggling Tucker for a potential Hollywood ending in the bottom of the seventh. Shohei Ohtani drew a leadoff walk and stole second. Two outs later, Bachar issued back-to-back walks to Max Muncy and Betts to load the bases and bring up Tucker. However, he flied out to center to end the threat.<\/p>\n

Muncy\u2019s two-run, two-out homer in the first gave the Dodgers to a 2-1 lead.<\/p>\n

The Pirates led 1-0 on Nick Gonzales\u2019 RBI single to center in the top of the inning. He tied the game 2-2 with an RBI single to center in the third.<\/p>\n
