The New York Mets and Los Angeles Dodgers wrapped up their four-game series at Dodger Stadium with a wild finish, as the Dodgers staged a dramatic eighth-inning rally to secure a 6-5 victory and split the series.
The Mets appeared in control after early home runs from Pete Alonso, Brandon Nimmo, and Starling Marte, with David Peterson turning in seven strong innings. But the Dodgers came alive in the bottom of the eighth, capitalizing on a Mets defensive miscue. Will Smith tied the game after a botched play at the plate, and Michael Conforto—mired in a deep slump—delivered the go-ahead RBI single with two outs, breaking a 5-for-42 drought and putting Los Angeles ahead for good.
Mookie Betts reached base four times and added an RBI double, while the Dodgers’ bullpen, led by Tanner Scott, held off a late Mets push to seal the win. Notably absent for New York was Francisco Lindor, sidelined with a broken right pinky toe after being hit by a pitch the previous night.
