WATCH: Teoscar Hernandez HR gives Dodgers lead over Pirates image

The Dodgers got out to a fast start Thursday in Pittsburgh when they went ahead 4-0 in the first inning. The Pirates came back to tie it, but Dodgers right fielder Teoscar Hernandez broke the tie in the top of the fifth with a solo homer to right field that put Los Angeles ahead 5-4. 

Hernandez is now up to 13 home runs this season. It was his first long ball since May 24.
