Clayton McCullough, the Miami Marlins' first-year manager and former Dodgers first base coach, made a heartfelt return to Dodger Stadium, receiving a warm welcome from his former players and a 2024 World Series ring. Unfortunately, the camaraderie didn't translate to the game as the Dodgers narrowly defeated the Marlins 7-6, overcoming a surprising comeback from a five-run lead.

In a game highlighted by Shohei Ohtani's and Freddie Freeman's contributions, the Dodgers initially appeared to be in control. However, an unexpected grand slam by Dane Myers of the Marlins changed the game dynamics. Despite squandered chances, the Dodgers managed to clinch a walk-off victory with Tommy Edman's decisive hit in the 10th inning.
