With two outs in the 10th, Kik\u00e9 Hern\u00e1ndez<\/a> on third and Kyle Tucker on first, the second baseman hit a walk-off single against Pittsburgh Pirates reliever Gregory Soto, earning the Dodgers a 5-4 win<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cYeah, it feels great,\u201d Edman said. \u201cWe\u2019ve kind of been struggling a little bit in those clutch situations, myself included, so it felt really good to come through.\u201d<\/p>\n Edman entered the at-bat 0 for 3 and was seemingly on the verge of keeping the 200-minute game alive in an unfavorable way.<\/p>\n Soto, however, threw the same low-middle sweeper that Edman fouled off one pitch earlier, and the second baseman jumped on it the second time around, propelling the Dodgers (78-51) to four consecutive wins for the first time since late July.<\/p>\n \u201cThat\u2019s something I really try to take pride in \u2014 leaving past at-bats behind me \u2014 and I think I\u2019ve done a good job of that this year,\u201d Edman said. \u201cI think that\u2019s something we do really well overall as a group, and that leads to coming through in big situations like that, putting past at-bats behind you.<\/p>\n \u201cOne of the best feelings after grinding for 10 innings,\u201d he added. \u201cWe had a bunch of pitchers do a really good job today.\u201d<\/p>\n Yoshinobu Yamamoto<\/a> was one of those pitchers.<\/p>\n The right-hander brought the urgency to the mound that the Dodgers were missing during an abysmal 5-11 stretch that ended with a sweep against the Colorado Rockies this week.<\/p>\n \u201cI personally felt like today\u2019s game is very important,\u201d Yamamoto said. \u201cWe\u2019re gonna have [Tarik<\/a>] Skubal<\/a> starting [Saturday], and I just wanted to maintain the momentum, which started in Colorado.\u201d<\/p>\n Yamamoto surrendered two runs \u2014 both via singles from Pirates designated hitter Nick Gonzales \u2014 on five hits over 6\u2153 innings, striking out nine and walking one.<\/p>\n \u201cMy stuff was pretty good today,\u201d Yamamoto said. \u201cI was feeling pretty good out there. So even after letting runners on the bases, I just tried to focus and then take it one hitter at a time.\u201d<\/p>\n Pirates starter Bubba Chandler, meanwhile, exited after four innings. Max Muncy<\/a> hit a two-run homer in the first, and Mookie Betts<\/a> hit a two-RBI single in the third.<\/p>\n The Dodgers, with a 4-2 lead, cruised into the eighth. But Kyle Hurt gave up a tying two-run homer to Oneil Cruz.<\/p>\n Dodgers pitcher Yoshinobu Yamamoto delivers against the Pittsburgh Pirates in the second inning Friday night.<\/p>\n (Gina Ferazzi \/ Los Angeles Times)<\/p>\n Matters looked grim for the Dodgers in the 10th when Evan Phillips<\/a> found himself in a one-out, bases-loaded jam.<\/p>\n All was well, though, once Phillips got Henry Davis to ground into an inning-ending, 6-4-3 double play.<\/p>\n \u201cThat was great,\u201d Roberts said of Phillips. \u201cI know that he\u2019s trying to kind of build as we\u2019re going through this, and [it] hasn\u2019t been smooth sailing for him and the success that he\u2019s used to. But this is a big one. Big confidence builder for him … to strand those two runners was a big outing for him.\u201d<\/p>\n Edman took care of the rest.<\/p>\n And for maybe the first time in weeks, the Dodgers appear to be inching back to their champion ways.<\/p>\n \u201cI think our guys are kind of reinterested, you know, collectively,\u201d Roberts said before the game. \u201cSo, that\u2019s a good thing.\u201d<\/p>\n Andy Pages sustains hand fracture Dodgers center fielder Andy Pages gets hit by a pitch during the third inning against the Pirates on Friday night.<\/p>\n (Gina Ferazzi \/ Los Angeles Times)<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/1787385263_609_hqdefault.jpg\")
