The Dodgers' bats were on fire, particularly in the fifth inning where they exploded for eight runs. This offensive barrage was part of a total of nine hits throughout the game. Two home runs contributed significantly to the scoring, highlighting the team's power-hitting capabilities. The team's batting average stood at .281 with an on-base percentage (OBP) of .425 and an impressive on-base plus slugging (OPS) of 1.019 for this game.


Tyler Glasnow took home his fourth win of the season with a stellar performance on the mound for the Dodgers. He pitched eight innings with ten strikeouts and allowed no runs, showcasing control and dominance that kept Mets hitters off balance all night long. His ERA remains at an immaculate 0.0 as he continues to be a formidable force in starting pitching.

Defensively, Los Angeles was just as impressive; they committed no errors and maintained a perfect fielding percentage (FPCT) of 1.0 throughout nine innings of play. The defense turned ground balls into outs efficiently with eleven groundouts recorded by their infielders.


Onbase situations were handled expertly by Dodgers hitters who drew seven walks while only getting caught once attempting to steal bases—though it should be noted that there were no successful stolen base attempts during this matchup.

For their part, the Mets managed seven hits but failed to capitalize on them due to strong defensive plays by Los Angeles and strategic pitching that left ten runners stranded on base for New York.
