It remained home sweet home for the Dodgers on April 25–30 when Los Angeles hosted the Pittsburgh Pirates and Miami Marlins. After dropping the opener against Pirates’ ace Paul Skenes, the Dodgers finished with a five-game winning streak, improving their Dodger Stadium record to 15–3 in 2025.

The homestand included two statistical rarities — the second time in Dodger Stadium history the Dodgers scored seven or more runs on five consecutive calendar days (April 26–30). The 12–7 victory in the April 30 finale marked the second time in history that Los Angeles had three triples in a game at Dodger Stadium.
