Freddie Freeman's absence from the starting lineup was short-lived as the Los Angeles Dodgers faced the New York Mets. With the go-ahead run on second in the eighth inning, manager Dave Roberts called upon Freeman, but the Mets opted for an intentional walk, allowing struggling Michael Conforto to step up. Conforto, batting just .165, surprised the crowd by delivering a go-ahead RBI single, leading the Dodgers to a thrilling 6-5 comeback victory. This crucial hit highlighted his resilience, marking his first hit in a clutch situation since March 31.

The Dodgers are now two games ahead of the San Diego Padres in the NL West following their triumph over the Mets. Despite a shaky performance from starting pitcher Landon Knack, who allowed four runs in 3.1 innings, the bullpen stepped up, particularly José Ureña, who pitched 2.1 solid innings. Roberts is now faced with tough decisions regarding the roster as the Dodgers prepare for a six-game road trip.
