Dodgers 2, Pirates 0
PITTSBURGH — Hiroki Kuroda allowed three hits in seven innings for the Dodgers, who won back-to-back games for the first time in three weeks. Jerry Sands had an RBI double for Los Angeles, which hadn't posted consecutive road victories since taking two from the Padres in early April. Pirates starter Paul Maholm fell to 0-5 against the Dodgers, one of three National League teams he has never beaten. Pittsburgh has lost two straight to slip below .500.
