After going 6-2 on their road trip, the Los Angeles Dodgers began a seven-game homestand with a series against the suddenly resurgent New York Mets. Winners in six of their last seven games, the Mets went into the Memorial Day matchup at .500 for the first time in two weeks.
The series opener was billed as a pitcher’s duel between Cy Young Award winners Clayton Kershaw and Jacob deGrom, but the night ultimately belonged to Cody Bellinger. He stole the spotlight with a home run off deGrom and two assists that prevented a run from scoring both times.
