Fifth Inning

The fifth inning saw a pivotal moment when Freddie Freeman stepped up and delivered two runs for Los Angeles. His batting prowess was evident as he found gaps in Cleveland's defense to extend their lead further. The G-Men managed to hold off additional damage but were unable to close the gap offensively during this stretch.

Sixth Inning

Continuing their offensive surge into the sixth inning, Will Smith showcased his hitting skills by contributing two more runs for Los Angeles through strategic hits that left little room for error from Cleveland's fielders. Despite some resistance from Cleveland’s pitching staff led by José Ramírez’s efforts at bat earlier in previous innings – which resulted only one run – it wasn’t enough against such relentless pressure applied by Bums’ lineup throughout these middle innings.
