First Inning


The Dodgers wasted no time in asserting their dominance. With an impressive offensive burst in the first inning, they scored four runs on three hits. This early lead was crucial in establishing momentum against the South Siders. The Blue's aggressive batting lineup capitalized on every opportunity, leaving little room for error from Chicago's defense.


Second to Fourth Innings


While both teams remained scoreless in the second inning, it was during this period that Los Angeles continued to demonstrate their prowess on both sides of play. By the third inning, they added another run to their tally thanks to strategic hitting and base running. The fourth inning saw yet another run for Los Angeles as they extended their lead further.


The White Sox managed to respond with one run in the fourth inning but struggled against a formidable Dodgers pitching lineup that allowed only three hits throughout nine innings.


Fifth to Ninth Innings


As play progressed into later innings, neither team managed additional runs after Los Angeles' scoring spree ended in the fourth inning. However, solid defensive plays ensured that any potential comeback from Chicago was effectively stifled.


Pitching played a pivotal role for Los Angeles; Yoshinobu Yamamoto delivered an outstanding performance with an earned run average of 1.286 and struck out eight batters over seven innings pitched—an effort complemented by relievers Jack Dreyer and Anthony Banda who maintained zero earned runs during their time on mound duty.


Offensively notable were contributions from Teoscar Hernández who maintained a .500 batting average alongside Will Smith’s consistent presence at bat contributing two runs off one hit across two appearances—a testament not only towards individual skill but also teamwork within this cohesive unit known as 'the Bums'.
