Dodgers Rally to Beat Tigers 4-3! 💙⚾

What a rollercoaster of a game, fellow Dodgers fans! Our boys in blue pulled off a thrilling 4-3 victory over the Detroit Tigers today, and it was a nail-biter until the very end! Let's dive into the action.

Early Struggles​

The game didn't start off in our favor. The Tigers jumped to an early lead, scoring two runs in the bottom of the 1st inning. Riley Greene doubled to center, bringing in Matt Vierling and Justyn-Henry Malloy. By the end of the 2nd inning, they extended their lead to 3-0 after Malloy tripled.

Freeman's Home Run Sparks Comeback​

Things looked bleak until the top of the 4th inning when Freddie Freeman came through with a solo homer to right center, cutting the Tigers' lead to 3-1. That homer gave our boys the spark they needed. Teoscar Hernandez walked and eventually scored on an Andy Pages single, making it a one-run game, 3-2.

Pitching Shines​

Our bullpen stepped up today! After a rocky start, the relief pitchers shut down the Tigers' offense. Phil Bickford, Blake Treinen, and Daniel Hudson kept Detroit scoreless from the 6th inning onwards, giving us a chance to come back.

Tying the Game and Taking the Lead​

The top of the 8th inning was huge! With Will Smith on third and Freeman on first, Teoscar Hernandez singled to right field, bringing Smith home and tying the game at 3-3. Then, in the top of the 9th, Chris Taylor singled to right, and Austin Barnes came in clutch as a pinch hitter with a single, advancing Taylor to third. With runners on, Shohei Ohtani hit a ground rule double to put us ahead 4-3!

Closing It Out​

Daniel Hudson came in to close the game and, despite some tense moments with a walk and a single, he struck out the side to seal the win for us! A huge relief and a great victory to savor!

Final Score: 4-3

What a game, Dodgers fans! 🥳💪 Let's keep the momentum going!
