LOS ANGELES (AP) — Dalton Rushing singled and a throwing error by Tyler O'Neill in the bottom of the ninth inning helped the Los Angeles Dodgers rally past the Baltimore Orioles 6-5 on Friday night in the series opener.
With two outs and two strikes, Rushing got his first hit in five at-bats. Pinch-runner Alex Call and Ryan Ward scored on right fielder O'Neill's error after he had entered as a defensive replacement in the bottom of the seventh.
Mookie Betts hit a solo shot off closer Ryan Helsley (0-3) earlier in the ninth that pulled the Dodgers to 5-4. Helsley blew his first save of the season.
Blake Treinen (4-1) pitched the ninth to get the win in relief. The Dodgers won their fourth in a row.
Jeremiah Jackson hit a go-ahead, two-run single in the seventh after consecutive home runs by Gunnar Henderson and Pete Alonso chased Los Angeles starter Roki Sasaki to give Baltimore a 5-3 lead.
