CINCINNATI — Ryan Hanigan’s RBI double in the ninth inning drove in Zack Cozart from first base to lift Cincinnati to a win over Los Angeles. Cozart, who had extended his career-high hitting streak to 13 games earlier, started the rally with a one-out single to left off Ronald Belisario (5-7). Hanigan lined the next pitch past left fielder Carl Crawford to the wall, and Cozart beat shortstop Hanley Ramirez’s relay throw with a headfirst slide.
