Tarik Skubal pitched into the eighth inning in his longest start since joining the Dodgers, and Los Angeles held off Cincinnati 3-2 on Tuesday night for their sixth consecutive victory. Teoscar Hernández singled home the go-ahead run in the fifth, extending his strong homestand performance. According to ESPN, Skubal was effective enough to pitch deep into the game while the Dodgers' offense generated just enough run support to secure the win.
The six-game winning streak matches the Dodgers' longest of the season, tying streaks from May 23-29 and August 17-23, per multiple outlets. The team had started September with two losses to the St. Louis Cardinals before turning things around. Hernández has been a key contributor during the current homestand, though outlets provided limited details on the broader offensive performance beyond his fifth-inning go-ahead hit.
