First Inning


The game began with both teams struggling to find their rhythm. The Blue Birds were unable to secure any hits in their first inning, while the Bums managed two hits but failed to convert them into runs. The pitching from both sides was tight, setting a competitive tone for what was expected to be an intense matchup.


Second Inning


Toronto's bats came alive briefly in the second inning when they scored their only run of the game. Daulton Varsho led this effort with one of his four hits during this period, showcasing his impressive .750 batting average from previous performances. Despite this early spark, Toronto left three runners on base by inning's end.


Fifth Inning


The fifth inning saw Los Angeles take control of the game with two runs scored off three hits. The Birds' starting pitcher Max Scherzer held an ERA of 3.0 and had been effective until this point but struggled against LA’s lineup here. This shift marked a turning point as Toronto's bullpen couldn't contain LA’s momentum.


Seventh Inning


In what proved decisive for LA, they added three more runs during the seventh inning through strategic hitting and capitalizing on walks issued by Toronto’s relievers who posted an ERA of 13.5 collectively over two innings pitched—an area needing improvement if they hope for future success against top-tier teams like LA.


Despite solid defensive plays from players like Addison Barger maintaining perfect fielding percentages throughout recent games and Vladimir Guerrero Jr.'s consistent presence at bat (.333 average), these efforts weren't enough against a formidable Dodgers squad that executed well under pressure without committing errors themselves across nine innings played before over fifty-three thousand fans present at Dodger Stadium last night (attendance: 53,825).
