Tyler Callihan's two-homer night lifts Pirates over Dodgers
Rookie Tyler Callihan recorded the first two home runs of his career, a solo shot off Shohei Ohtani in the fourth inning and a three‑run blast off reliever Kyle Hurt in the eighth. His hits helped the Pittsburgh Pirates rally from a 6‑3 deficit to defeat the Los Angeles Dodgers 9‑8. Ohtani surrendered season highs with four runs, three earned runs and six hits in 6 2⁄3 innings, raising his ERA to 1.06 before being pulled after Brandon Lowe’s two‑out, two‑run double. The Dodgers saw Ryan Ward hit his first career grand slam, while Spencer Horwitz added a two‑run homer for Pittsburgh. The victory ended a four‑game skid for the Pirates as the series concludes on Thursday.
