Overview

  • Max Muncy’s two home runs, including a ninth-inning blast to tie the game, set the stage for Freddie Freeman’s walk-off double as the Dodgers edged the Mets 6-5 in 10 innings.
  • Mets starter Tylor Megill delivered six solid frames, but New York’s stretched-thin bullpen surrendered the lead with decisive runs in both the ninth and 10th innings.
  • Manny Machado’s two-out single in the ninth forced extras for the Padres, and Jake Cronenworth’s broken-bat RBI in the 10th secured a 3-2 victory over the Giants.
  • Giants closer Camilo Doval yielded a go-ahead run in the ninth, snapping a 20⅔-inning scoreless streak and extending San Francisco’s skid of scoring more than four runs.
  • Recurring relief struggles have fueled back-to-back extra-inning thrillers, underscoring the importance of bullpen depth as divisional races tighten.
