The Dodgers scored five runs with two home runs. In the first inning, Freeman hit his first solo shot against “knuckle bowler” Matt Waldron. James Paxton’s scoreless pitching allowed him to maintain his lead, and Teoscar Hernandez’s grand slam in the sixth inning widened his lead. Paxton finished his starting job with four hits, four strikeouts, and no runs in six innings.
The Dodgers even defended well. In the second inning, Gavin Luxe made a jump catch on Donovan Solano’s pitch. In the seventh inning, leadoff hitter Xander Bogaerts’ pitch was blocked by James Outman. The most decisive defense was Max Muncy’s diving catch, which was made with runners on first and second bases with two outs in the eighth inning. Muncy could have lost a point as he could have hit a long ball, but he blew himself up and took the lead, and the Dodgers took the lead.
