Dodgers finally snapped a long scoring drought by erupting for six runs in the fifth to beat the Giants 13-7. After a rocky start, the offense capitalized on two-strike, patient at-bats, with Teoscar Hernández lining a go-ahead two-run double off José Buttó and Shohei Ohtani's 454-foot homer sparking the rally. Will Smith's IL stint and Muncy's early exit loom, but the bullpen stabilized behind Edgardo Henriquez and Justin Wrobleski as L.A. kept the pressure on. A much-needed offensive push in a pivotal series lead to a statement win.

Rojas and Rortvedt supplied big two-run hits, Freeman and Betts supported with run-scoring hits, and Conforto contributed a sac fly as the Dodgers finally put together a multi-inning scoring crescendo. The late bullpen resilience, despite a tense finish, provided a much-needed confidence boost for fantasy managers betting on LA's lineup depth and upside in the closing weeks.
