The Los Angeles Dodgers dominated the New York Mets in a doubleheader sweep on Tuesday night, with Gavin Stone leading the charge on the mound. Stone struck out seven batters in seven innings, allowing only three hits and no walks. The Dodgers secured a 3-0 victory in the second game, snapping a five-game losing streak.
In the first game of the doubleheader, the Dodgers came from behind to win 5-2 in extra innings. Freddie Freeman’s two-run homer in the 10th inning sealed the victory, with Teoscar Hernández contributing three hits to the effort.
Chris Taylor, who had been struggling at the plate, played a crucial role in the comeback with an RBI single in the eighth inning and a well-placed bunt to drive in Hernández in the ninth. Mookie Betts and Miguel Rojas also made key contributions with timely hits.
The Mets, on the other hand, continued to struggle, dropping seven of their last eight games. Despite a strong performance from Tylor Megill in the opener, the Mets were unable to capitalize on scoring opportunities, leaving the bases loaded in the ninth inning.
The Dodgers’ win was a much-needed boost after their recent losing streak, and they will look to carry that momentum into the final game of the series. With David Peterson set to make his season debut for the Mets against James Paxton of the Dodgers, the stage is set for an exciting conclusion to the series.
