PITTSBURGH (AP)
Mookie Betts hit his 25th leadoff home run and added a spectacular catch and throw for a double play to lead the Los Angeles Dodgers over the Pittsburgh Pirates 6-3 on Thursday.
Betts took the third pitch he saw from Mitch Keller (3-7) and sent it into the bullpen beyond the centerfield fence for his sixth homer this season. He saved a run in the the second by making a running grab on a sinking line drive by Ka ai Tom then doing a 360-degree turn before firing a one-hop strike to home plate to throw out Erik Gonzalez.
Julio Ur as (9-2) allowed three runs and six hits in six innings to become the major leagues first nine-game winner. Phil Bickford got his first save when the game was called with one out in the the eighth after a rain delay of 1 hour, 15 minutes.
Los Angeles completed its sixth series sweep.
