Dodgers edge Pirates with 10th-inning walk-off, spoiling road-trip opener

Oneil Cruz tied the game with a two-run homer in the eighth, but Tommy Edman delivered a two-out, two-strike RBI single in the 10th to lift the Dodgers to a 5-4 walk-off win over the Pirates in Los Angeles, wasting Pittsburgh’s rally as they started a critical nine-game road trip 0-1. Bubba Chandler struggled early, Dodgers’ offense built a 4-2 lead, then the Pirates bullpen kept them in it as Cruz’s homer forced extras. In the 10th, Reynolds singled, Cruz was intentionally walked, and Henry Davis grounded into a decisive double play with the bases loaded. The Pirates remain four games under .500 as the series continues this weekend.

Oneil Cruz Back in the Fold as Pirates Activate from 60-Day IL

The Pirates activated center fielder Oneil Cruz from the 60-day injured list and reinstated Yohan Ramirez from the paternity list, while optioning Hunter Barco and Ronny Simon. Cruz returns after a left-hand fracture suffered in June and, despite a high strikeout rate, his late-season .271/.358/.492 line with 14 homers and 21 steals across 268 PAs suggests a strong boost for a lineup that has battled injuries as Pittsburgh fights to stay in wild-card contention.

Pirates' Oneil Cruz sidelined by left-hand fractures, out about a month

The Pirates placed outfielder Oneil Cruz on the 10-day injured list retroactive to June 8 with non-displaced fractures in his left hand (fourth and fifth metacarpals), expecting him to miss about a month; Billy Cook was recalled, and Jake Mangum is likely to handle center field while Cruz is sidelined. Pittsburgh sits at 34-33 and aims to climb back without Cruz, who has 14 homers, 21 stolen bases, and a .264/.350/.472 line this season (128 wRC+).

Five MLB Stars Poised for Major 2026 Comebacks

With spring training looming, five players—Oneil Cruz, Spencer Strider, Mike Trout, Jake Burger and Teoscar Hernandez—are highlighted as bounce-back candidates for 2026. Cruz posted elite contact metrics but a .200 average and high strikeout rate in 2025, suggesting a luck-based rebound and continued tool-based potential; Strider must rebuild after elbow surgery by embracing a more diverse pitch mix to restore strikeout and run-prevention levels; Trout, healthier than last year and with a mechanics tweak behind him, could return to MVP-caliber production; Burger can regain power by readjusting his swing geography and pull strategy; Hernandez, aided by more selective hitting on a loaded Dodgers roster, could reclaim higher offensive impact. Spring training is just weeks away.
