Mets vs Dodgers Recap: Dodgers Dominate 4-0

Tuesday night featured the New York Mets visiting the Los Angeles Dodgers at the Dodgers' home park. The Mets hoped their pitching staff would stabilize, and David Peterson started for New York. The Dodgers sent Justin Wrobleski to the mound, and Los Angeles aimed to keep rolling. The final score was Dodgers 4, Mets 0, a clear win for the home team. Early scoring and a big third-inning homer decided the game while the Mets could not rally. Although the Mets showed grit in their season notes, the Dodgers used powerful hitting and steady pitching to pull away by the third inning.

In the first inning the Dodgers struck first when Smith singled to center and Ohtani scored, making it 1–0. The hit came on a 92 mph fastball and had a loud 103 mph exit velocity, and the crowd noticed right away. David Peterson and Justin Wrobleski then battled through the second inning without more runs. The big moment came in the third inning, with two outs and a 2–0 count. Pages stepped up and the ball soared over the left-field wall for a three-run homer. That blast pushed the score to 4–0 and gave the Dodgers a comfortable lead.

After the third inning the Dodgers held a 4–0 lead and the game stayed that way through the late innings. Both bullpens kept hitters quiet while the Mets could not solve Los Angeles pitching. The Dodgers added no more runs, but their early scoring proved enough to win. The game ended with the Dodgers beating the Mets 4–0, improving Los Angeles to a strong record while the Mets fell to 7–10. Injured players on the IL, like Mookie Betts and Juan Soto, were noted in team reports and did not play. As a result, the Dodgers celebrated a tidy home victory.
