Dodgers 12, Pirates 3: 10-Run Seventh After Skenes Exits

The lead

June 9, 2026 - Pittsburgh - Andy Pages hit a two-run homer, Freddie Freeman collected his 2,500th career hit during a 10-run seventh inning, and the Los Angeles Dodgers pulled away once Paul Skenes exited in a 12-3 win over the Pittsburgh Pirates, per the Associated Press recap on CBS Sports.

Los Angeles paced the Tuesday slate at 24 team FP in AthX Engine scoring.

How the game turned

The game was tied 2-2 after six innings. Skenes struck out seven over six frames and retired Shohei Ohtani all three times, but Pittsburgh's bullpen collapsed in the seventh.

Pages' homer made it 6-2. Bases-loaded walks, a Brandon Lowe throwing error, and Freeman's milestone single highlighted the rally. The Dodgers' 10-run seventh was their biggest inning since 2021.

Pitching and matchup notes

Paul Skenes allowed two runs in six innings but took a no-decision. He finished with 15 pitching FP in AthX Engine scoring. Will Klein (2-2) earned the win in relief.

Reynolds and O'Hearn homered in the first for Pittsburgh, but the Pirates managed only three hits after that and dropped their fourth straight.

Bats that changed the board

Pages finished with 8 hitting FP in AthX Engine scoring. Freeman's 2,500th hit was the milestone within the blowout, but the seventh-inning explosion spread fantasy value across the lineup.

AthX Engine fantasy angle

AthX Engine graded the Dodgers at 24 team FP in a game that looked even until the bullpen melted. Late-inning rallies against tired pens move daily team totals fast, separate from dynamic pricing.

What comes next

The series continues Wednesday when Ohtani opposes Jared Jones, per AP.
