Pirates defeated in 10th
LOS ANGELES — Austin Barnes and pitcher Ross Stripling were the only options manager Dave Roberts had left on the Los Angeles Dodgers bench.
Pinch hitter Barnes doubled with one out in the 10th inning, scoring pinch runner Stripling to lift the Dodgers over the Pirates 4-3 on Tuesday night.
Los Angeles starter Julio Urias lost a no-hit bid when Andrew McCutchen doubled leading off the seventh inning.
Urias pitched a career-high 6 1/3 innings, allowing a run, one hit and two walks with five strikeouts. He threw 95 pitches.
The Dodgers won their fourth straight despite stranding 12 baserunners. Los Angeles tied it in the ninth on Cody Bellinger’s RBI single and might have won the game then if not for a stellar double-play turn by Jordy Mercer on Joc Pederson’s grounder. Pitcher Tony Watson fielded and bounced a throw well wide of second base, but Mercer scooped it while keeping a foot on the bag and completed the double play.
John Jaso hit a pinch-homer to give the Pirates a 3-2 lead in the eighth.
