Freddie Freeman's return from a scheduled day off created excitement at Dodger Stadium, yet it was Michael Conforto who took center stage in a dramatic comeback victory over the Mets. A crucial eighth-inning at-bat saw Conforto collect an RBI single, marking his first hit with runners in scoring position this season, leading the Dodgers to a thrilling 6-5 win. The victory was significant, placing the Dodgers ahead of the Padres in the NL West race.

Despite Freeman's star status, Conforto's clutch performance showcased his potential to turn around a struggling season. On the pitching side, Landon Knack faced challenges against the Mets, while manager Dave Roberts had to rely heavily on the bullpen to secure the win. With the Dodgers facing a busy schedule ahead, the effectiveness of their pitchers will be critical as they aim for postseason positioning.
