The Dodgers' offense managed to gather five hits throughout the game, three of which were home runs that accounted for all their runs. This power-hitting display underscored their ability to change the course of the game with a single swing. Despite having only three at-bats with runners in scoring position, they did not convert any into additional runs but still managed to drive in three runs across different innings.

Tyler Glasnow's pitching was a cornerstone for the Dodgers' success, earning him his seventh win of the season. He showcased an impressive strikeout-to-walk ratio and kept his ERA at 0.0 through nine innings pitched, allowing only three hits and two walks against 31 batters faced. His performance set a high standard for starting pitchers and played a pivotal role in keeping the Royals scoreless.
