In the seventh, Pages hit a two-run homer off Pirates reliever Wilber Dotel (1-1) and a sacrifice fly off Brandan Bidois. Ohtani hit an RBI double against Dotel, then Bidois walked him with the bases loaded to force in another run.

Freeman’s milestone came on an RBI single up the middle off Bidois to score Alex Freeland and cap the scoring in the inning.

Every Dodger in the starting lineup scored in the inning as the visitors sent 15 batters to the plate.

Paul Skenes started for the Pirates, who lost their fourth in a row, and gave up two runs on six hits over six innings. He issued two walks and struck out seven.

Skenes retired Ohtani all three times he faced him, including a strikeout in the third.

Dotel allowed six runs (five earned) on five hits and one walk without recording an out. The Pirates threw 68 pitches in the seventh and used three relievers until Mookie Betts lined out to left against Dennis Santana, ending the inning.

Dotel had allowed two runs in his first 16 2/3 career innings before Tuesday.

The first nine Dodgers reached safely in the seventh until Dalton Rushing struck out in his second at-bat of the inning. Rushing started behind the plate for the third consecutive game with Will Smith still dealing with neck stiffness.

Max Muncy finished with three hits and an RBI while Freeman, Betts, Freeland and Santiago Espinal each had two of Los Angeles’ 15 hits.

In the sixth, Will Klein (2-2) relieved Dodgers starter Eric Lauer, who gave up two runs on back-to-back home runs by Bryan Reynolds and Ryan O’Hearn with two outs in the first. Lauer struck out five and allowed three hits and no walks before Klein struck out three over 1 1/3 scoreless innings.

Pittsburgh infielder Tyler Callihan made his first career pitching appearance and threw a scoreless ninth.

Oneil Cruz was a late scratch for the Pirates as he continues to deal with left hand discomfort.

Meckler scored three times while amassing three walks and a hit for the Angels, who had lost six of their previous eight games. Sebastian Rivero had two hits before exiting with a left wrist injury, and Adell also had two hits.

Brice Matthews had an RBI single for the Astros, who had won three of their previous four contests.

Walbert Urena (4-4) pitched five scoreless innings to win his third straight decision for the Angels. He gave up three hits, walked five and struck out seven before three relievers finished up.

Houston’s Kai-Wei Teng (3-5) was roughed up for seven runs (five earned) and seven hits over four innings. He struck out five and walked three.

Rivero had a streak of seven straight hits before the injury that occurred when he fouled off a pitch in the fifth. Logan O’Hoppe entered for the final two pitches of the at-bat and took a called strike three with the strikeout charged to Rivero to end his hit streak.

Angels manager Kurt Suzuki said postgame that Rivero would undergo a CT scan on Wednesday.

Los Angeles first baseman Nolan Schanuel (calf) departed before the top of the fourth inning due to left calf tightness. He is considered day-to-day.

The Angels scored twice without a hit in the first inning.

Los Angeles loaded the bases with one out on two walks and an error before Schanuel was hit by a pitch from Teng to force in a run. Peraza followed with a possible double-play grounder, but Jose Altuve dropped the ball on the exchange after securing the out at second as Meckler scored.

The Angels erupted for five runs in the second inning.

The bases were loaded with one out when Meckler hit a two-run double to left to make it 4-0. Adell followed with another two-run double to make it a six-run game. Schanuel singled to put runners on the corners before Peraza hit into a fielder’s choice to score Adell.

Houston scored in the seventh while sending pinch hitters to the plate for Jeremy Pena, Yordan Alvarez, Christian Walker and Altuve in a five-batter span.

With two outs, Collin Price singled and starter Isaac Paredes walked before Matthews stroked an RBI single to right to get the Astros on the board.

Trey Mancini’s bases-loaded sacrifice fly in the eighth made it 8-1. Infield grounders from Peraza and Denzer Guzman also plated runs.
