First Inning


The game began with an early lead for the Angels as they scored two runs in their first inning. The Dodgers' starting pitcher struggled to find his rhythm, allowing one hit and two runs. Meanwhile, on offense, Mookie Betts and Freddie Freeman were unable to make significant contact against the opposing pitcher.


Fourth Inning


As both teams settled into their grooves by the fourth inning, it was clear that pitching would play a crucial role in this matchup. The Dodgers managed to get on board with one run thanks to Will Smith's consistent performance at bat; he ended up hitting .500 for this game. However, this was countered by another two-run inning from the Angels who capitalized on some well-timed hits.

Eighth Inning


In what seemed like a potential turning point for Bums during eighth inning action—James Outman made an impressive defensive play in center field preventing further damage from Halos’ batsmen—but despite these efforts defensively or offensively (with only seven hits overall), they could not close down Angel’s lead which remained intact throughout most parts till ninth innings when things took yet another turn!


Ninth Inning


The final stretch saw renewed energy among players: Max Muncy showed resilience contributing significantly towards team morale although ultimately falling short due largely because bullpen couldn’t hold off relentless attacks mounted by determined opposition lineup led notably Shohei Ohtani whose presence felt across entire stadium whenever stepped onto plate!
