First Inning


The Mets set the tone early in the first inning, capitalizing on an error by the Dodgers to score three runs. This initial burst was crucial in establishing momentum for New York. Pete Alonso was instrumental during this period, driving in runs with his powerful hitting that would later define his standout performance.


Middle Innings


As the game progressed into the middle innings, both teams struggled to add to their scores. The Mets managed only one hit each in both the second and third innings but maintained their defensive prowess to keep Los Angeles from scoring. Griffin Canning's pitching was pivotal here; he demonstrated remarkable control by allowing no earned runs through six innings while striking out seven batters.

Eighth Inning


In a pivotal eighth inning for New York, Pete Alonso once again showcased his batting prowess by hitting another home run that brought in three additional runs for his team. This surge effectively sealed the game for New York as they extended their lead significantly over Los Angeles.


Ninth Inning


Despite a late effort from Los Angeles where they scored one run off a solo homerun, it wasn't enough to challenge New York’s dominance throughout most of this matchup. The bullpen held firm under pressure ensuring there were no further breakthroughs from LA’s lineup which had been largely kept quiet all night long thanks largely due strong performances across board including solid fielding efforts too!
