Throughout the game, Baltimore showcased their strategic prowess and individual talent, amassing seven hits and three runs without a single error.

Ramón Urías emerged as a standout player for Baltimore with an exceptional performance at bat. Boasting an average of .333 and an on-base plus slugging rate of 1.833, including one home run, Urías played a pivotal role in clinching victory for his team with his timely hitting.

Baltimore's pitchers also played a crucial part in this tight contest by delivering four and two-thirds innings of shutout baseball.

This display underscored Baltimore's pitching depth and ability to stifle scoring opportunities from the opposition.

The Dodgers matched Baltimore closely in terms of hits (seven) and runs (two) but were unable to bridge the narrow gap despite not committing any errors themselves.
