Overview

  • The Mets improved to 39–23 with their fifth win in six games and claimed the season series against Los Angeles by winning four of six matchups.
  • Pete Alonso delivered a two-homer, five-RBI performance and Griffin Canning held the Dodgers scoreless over six innings in New York’s 6–1 victory on June 4.
  • Los Angeles answered on June 5 as Michael Conforto broke a 5–5 tie with an RBI single in the eighth off Reed Garrett, securing a 6–5 comeback win.
  • The Dodgers have seven pitchers—including starters Blake Snell, Tyler Glasnow and Roki Sasaki—on the injured list, heightening reliance on a shorthanded bullpen.
  • Clinching the season series gives the Mets a tiebreaker edge and potential home-field advantage if the teams meet again in the playoffs.
