Post-Game Recap
The Los Angeles Dodgers beat the New York Mets four to two on Thursday night, and this one had a real turning point that swung the whole game in the eighth.
It was the Mets who drew first blood — Luis Robert Jr. went deep to left in the second, a three-hundred-eighty-one-foot shot that gave New York the early lead. Los Angeles answered in the fourth when Miguel Rojas lifted a sacrifice fly to right to bring home Freddie Freeman and knot it at one. The Dodgers nudged ahead in the seventh on a Shohei Ohtani sac fly to center, but this game was still very much in the balance heading into the eighth.
That's when Kyle Tucker broke it open. Tucker launched a three-hundred-eighty-six-foot blast to right center that scored Freeman and suddenly it was four to one, Dodgers. Yordan Alvarez answered with a solo shot to left — four-hundred-one feet — to make it four to two, but that was as close as the Mets would get.
Freeman was the engine all night for Los Angeles, going three for four with two runs scored. Ohtani added two hits and the go-ahead RBI. For New York, Bo Bichette struck out three times and went oh for four — a rough night for the lineup across the board.
Tucker's eighth-inning blast was the dagger, and the Dodgers made it hold up. That's your post-game report. Sports Desk, signing off.
