Another expected pitcher’s duel at Dodger Stadium went by the wayside as the Los Angeles Dodgers and New York Mets traded home runs throughout the night. The Dodgers fell into a five-run deficit but mounted a rally in the late innings for a thrilling 9-8 comeback win.
The Dodgers’ victory marked their largest come-from-behind effort this season. L.A. began the bottom of the ninth inning trailing 8-5. Joc Pederson and Max Muncy greeted vaunted Mets closer Edwin Diaz with back-to-back solo home runs.
Having previously collected a pair of RBI singles, Justin Turner kept the rally alive with a double.
