First Inning


The Giants started strong in the first inning with Rafael Devers making an impact by scoring the opening run. Despite this early lead, both teams struggled to find offensive rhythm in subsequent innings. The Dodgers were unable to capitalize on any scoring opportunities early on as they faced a formidable Giants pitching lineup.


Seventh Inning


In the seventh inning, the Dodgers managed to break through when they scored their only run of the game. This was thanks to a couple of well-timed hits that momentarily shifted momentum in favor of the Blue. However, this effort was not enough as they failed to sustain pressure against a resilient Giants defense.


Ninth Inning


As tension mounted in the ninth inning with both teams locked in a stalemate, it seemed like neither side could gain an upper hand. The Orange and Black's bullpen held firm against any advances from their rivals while also struggling themselves against some tight pitching from Los Angeles.


Tenth Inning


The turning point came during an explosive tenth inning for San Francisco when they unleashed four runs on just one hit amidst two errors committed by Los Angeles' defense. This pivotal play sealed their triumph and left little room for recovery for their opponents.
