The Los Angeles Dodgers faced a grueling challenge against the New York Mets, battling through an extended rain delay and a weary bullpen to secure a hard-fought 7-5 victory in 13 innings. Despite leading 5-2 late in the game, closer Tanner Scott suffered a blown save, allowing the Mets to tie the game in the ninth. Starter Clayton Kershaw was limited to just two innings due to the rain delay, forcing the bullpen to cover 11 innings with all but one reliever seeing action. The Dodgers’ win is a testament to their resilience amidst a challenging period of facing playoff contenders.
