PITTSBURGH (AP) — Mookie Betts, Freddie Freeman and Teoscar Hernandez homered and the Los Angeles Dodgers beat the Pittsburgh Pirates 11-7 to avoid a three-game sweep. Freeman hit a three-run shot in the first for his eighth home run of the season. Betts added a three-run shot of his own during a six-run fifth inning as Los Angeles beat the Pirates for just the sixth time in their last 16 meetings despite a relatively quiet night from Shohei Ohtani. The Japanese superstar went 1 for 5 with a run scored. Nick Gonzales and Oneil Cruz homered for Pittsburgh.
