In a standout pitching performance, Yoshinobu Yamamoto of the Dodgers faced Nolan McLean of the Mets, yielding just one run in 7 2/3 innings despite a leadoff home run. The Dodgers’ rotation has dominated the struggling Mets, allowing only one run in 15 2/3 innings over two games. Edwin Díaz’s absence in the ninth inning didn’t hinder the Dodgers, as Alex Vesia secured the save. Díaz’s status for the next game will depend on his upcoming bullpen session.
