Overview

  • Teoscar Hernández's 13th-inning RBI double and Andy Pages' sacrifice fly sealed the Dodgers' win in a six-hour game at Citi Field.
  • The Dodgers' bullpen pitched 11 innings after Clayton Kershaw exited following two hitless frames due to the lengthy rain delay.
  • The Mets rallied in the ninth inning to erase a 5-2 deficit, with Jeff McNeil's two-run triple and Tyrone Taylor's RBI single forcing extra innings.
  • Juan Soto's struggles continued for the Mets, going 0-for-5 and hearing boos as his batting average fell to .236.
  • The Dodgers, already managing significant injuries to their pitching staff, face further strain as their bullpen leads the league in innings pitched.
