Kyle Hurt struggles as Dodgers collapse against Pirates in the eighth inning

The Los Angeles Dodgers were on track for a comfortable win against the Pittsburgh Pirates on June 10 at PNC Park, leading 6-1 after a grand slam from Ryan Ward. However, the game turned in the eighth inning when Kyle Hurt allowed eight runs, leading to a 9-8 loss. Shohei Ohtani pitched 6⅔ innings, giving up four runs and striking out six, while the bullpen faltered, failing to protect the lead. The defeat underscores growing concerns about the Dodgers' bullpen performance, especially Hurt, who has struggled recently after a strong start to the season. The Dodgers look to regroup as they prepare for their next matchup.
