LOS ANGELES -- Pinch hitter Austin Barnes hit a walk-off double in the 10th inning to lift the Los Angeles Dodgers to a 4-3 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates on Tuesday night at Dodger Stadium.
Barnes doubled off reliever Daniel Hudson (0-2) to plate pinch runner Ross Stripling as the Dodgers (19-14) posted their fourth straight victory. Kenley Jansen (2-0) earned the victory after striking out two in the 10th.
The Pirates (14-19) dropped their third consecutive game.
Dodgers rookie Cody Bellinger's RBI single with one out in the ninth inning brought home Corey Seager to tie the score.
In the eighth, pinch hitter John Jaso took reliever Pedro Baez deep with his second home run this season, driving an 0-1 pitch to right for a solo shot to lift the Pirates to a 3-2 lead. It was the fourth pinch-hit home run for Jaso.
Dodgers starter Julio Urias didn't allow a hit through six innings. Andrew McCutchen broke up the no-hit bid with a leadoff ground-rule double to open the seventh. On the play, Dodgers left fielder Andrew Toles was injured chasing the ball, as his right knee appeared to buckle just before he ran into the wall. He was replaced by Enrique Hernandez.
Urias was charged with a run on one hit with five strikeouts and two walks in 6 1/3 innings, but for the third consecutive start, he did not factor into the decision. Urias also committed an error. He was relieved by Sergio Romo.
After Romo struck out pinch hitter Josh Bell looking, he gave up a run-scoring double by Francisco Cervelli to slice Los Angeles' lead to 2-1. Rookie pinch hitter Max Moroff delivered his first hit in the big leagues, an RBI single that scored Cervelli.
Yasmani Grandal's two-run homer to center gave the Dodgers a 2-0 lead in the fourth inning. For Grandal, who went 3-for-5, it was his fourth home run this season.
Pirates starter Ivan Nova allowed two runs on seven hits with two strikeouts and two walks in 6 1/3 innings.
