In their last encounter with the Texas Rangers on June 12, 2024, the Dodgers displayed an overwhelming force, securing a staggering 15-2 victory. Their hitters were relentless, accumulating 14 hits and converting them into runs with remarkable efficiency. The team's batting average stood at an impressive .400 for that game, highlighting their ability to connect with pitches and drive them home. Furthermore, five home runs contributed significantly to their run tally, demonstrating both power and precision at the plate.


The pitching staff was equally formidable in this matchup. Starting pitchers set a solid foundation by maintaining a low earned run average (ERA) of just 1.5 over six innings pitched. This performance was complemented by a bullpen that kept up the pressure on opposing hitters, ensuring any attempts at rallying were swiftly quelled.
