The Los Angeles Dodgers, with a record of 7-2, faced off against the San Francisco Giants, who came into the game with a 2-5 record. The contest concluded with a tight scoreline of 5-4 in favor of the home team at Dodger Stadium.
The Dodgers' offense was firing on all cylinders as they amassed nine hits throughout the game. Key to their success was their batting average which stood at an impressive .300 for the game. The team's ability to get on base was evident by their .382 on-base percentage (OBP) and they slugged their way to victory with a .533 slugging percentage (SLG). A total of three extra-base hits contributed significantly to their offensive output.
Tyler Glasnow, wearing jersey number 31 for the Dodgers, secured his second win of the season from his position on the mound.
