Freddie Freeman’s 10th-Inning Double Lifts Dodgers Over Mets, Series Evened

Brandon Nimmo’s misplay on Freeman’s fly ball highlighted the Mets’ bullpen strain without closer Edwin Diaz.

Overview

  • Freeman’s walk-off double off the left-field wall capped a 6-5 Dodgers win in the 10th inning at Dodger Stadium.
  • Max Muncy belted two homers, including a ninth-inning shot that tied the game for Los Angeles.
  • Nimmo, playing shallow in left field, misjudged Freeman’s fly ball as it took a high bounce off the warning track.
  • New York’s bullpen was without Edwin Diaz and short on rested arms, forcing manager Carlos Mendoza to extend his relief corps.
  • The victory marked the Dodgers’ 20th comeback win of the season and evened the four-game series at 1-1.
