Pittsburgh: Pirates manager Clint Hurdle was able to sum up Pittsburgh’s win over the Los Angeles Dodgers on Sunday in one word.

“Wow.” Rookie shortstop Kang Jung-ho’s three-run home run capped a nine-run seventh inning, and Centre fielder Andrew McCutchen homered and drove in four runs, as the Pirates rallied for a 13-6 victory to complete a sweep of the Dodgers.

The Pirates swept a three-game series from the Dodgers in Pittsburgh for the first time since May 31-June 2, 1999, at the since-demolished Three Rivers Stadium.

“This is the type of the team we are,” McCutchen said. “We don’t quit. We never think we’re out of a game.” Kang greeted right-handed reliever Joel Peralta with his ninth homer of the season after the Pirates scored eight runs in two-thirds of an inning off righty reliever Jim Johnson (3-4).

Kang was hit by pitches in his two previous plate appearances.

“Sometimes, you’ve just got to put a foot down, and Jung-ho did that with the home run,” Hurdle said.

McCutchen’s homer came with a runner on in the fifth inning. The blast drew the Pirates within 5-3. The All-Star Centre fielder hit a two-run single during the big seventh inning that put Pittsburgh on top 12-5.

McCutchen is hitting .455 (15-for-33) with 13 RBIs and 12 runs in his past 10 games. He owns an MLB-high .410 average with runners in scoring position this season.

Asked if he could remember a better stretch of hitting in his seven-year career, McCutchen said, “I don’t know, it’s so hard for me to say.

“I still don’t think I’m completely where I want to be. I just still think I’m going to be better before the season is over.” Pirates catcher Francisco Cervelli had three hits, including a solo home run in the eighth inning, and three RBIs.

Third baseman Aramis Ramirez, second baseman Neil Walker and first baseman Sean Rodriguez each had two of the Pirates’ 16 hits.

Cervelli, left fielder Starling Marte and Ramirez all had RBI singles in the seventh, and Walker hit a sacrifice fly.

Right-handed reliever Arquimedes Caminero (2-1) pitched two scoreless innings for the victory.
