The Dodgers had a number of alternatives to lose their sixth sport in a row, however the moribund offense awoke late earlier than exploding in time beyond regulation to beat the Mets 5-2 in 10 innings within the first sport of Tuesday's doubleheader at Citi Discipline in New. York.
Mookie Betts singled dwelling the go-ahead run and Freddie Freeman hit a two-run dwelling run in a three-run tenth inning to offer the Dodgers their lead. drive from Friday in Cincinnati.
That the sport was even in additional innings was a minor miracle, as Daniel Hudson allowed two singles and a stroll to load the bases with one out in a tie sport within the ninth. He then fell behind 3-0 to Tyrone Taylor earlier than inducing a full-count popup to Betts behind the shortstop. Hudson then had Jeff McNeil come out as properly, escaping any hurt and bringing two polar reverse reactions.
The Dodgers didn’t rating till an eighth inning through which the Mets had three possibilities at the least nominally at a double play and couldn’t convert. Shohei Ohtani hit a throw to first base on the third of these grounders, extending the inning for Freddie Freeman to single dwelling, and pull the Dodgers inside one.
That inning was began by Jason Heyward, placing out eight within the first sport Tuesday, with one out. It was the Dodgers' first hit by anybody within the lineup since Teoscar Hernández since Friday in Cincinnati, snapping an 0-for-36 skid in these slots.
No. 6 hitter Gavin Lux adopted a Hernández single with a single of his personal within the ninth, and seventh baseman Chris Taylor squeezed dwelling the tying run towards Adam Ottavino.
These two runs got here after Mets starter Tylor Megill struck out 9 in his seven scoreless innings to maintain the Dodgers at bay.
Though he didn't have a win to indicate for it, Tyler Glasnow, the Dodgers' finest pitcher, had a robust outing. Particularly after working by early issues to get by seven innings of his personal, the fifth time in 12 begins he's pitched so deep in a sport this season.
Glasnow pitched three straight full counts in a 23-pitch opening body, however solely walked one, and escaped with three strikeouts within the inning. He walked two extra in a 24-pitch third inning, however the harm got here on a 1-2 curveball that Francisco Lindor hit over the wall in proper area for the sport's first two runs.
Lindor's dwelling run was one among simply two hits allowed by Glasnow, who retired 12 of his final 13 batters confronted.
Can't catch a break
Teoscar Hernández virtually obtained the Dodgers on the board early within the second inning by hitting a ball over the middle area wall. Besides Tyrone Taylor had different plans and virtually made an unimaginable catch, as an alternative of returning the ball in play. Hernández was happy with a double, which was confirmed on the evaluate, as replays confirmed that the ball by no means hit the batter's eye past the fence, which might have been a house run.
With the Dodgers' season-long struggles on the backside of the lineup in overdrive over the previous week, they've needed to scratch and claw for practically each run. Usually a runner on second base with no person out is a superb scoring alternative, however the Dodgers' batting order after fifth-hitter Hernández was a black gap. He was torn.
Blake Treinen pitched the underside of the tenth for his first save since September 28, 2021. He’s the seventh Dodgers pitcher to file a save in 2024.
