The early innings felt like a genuine pitcher’s showcase, with both teams' aces keeping bats quiet and zeros dominating the scoreboard. Trea Turner, usually a dependable hitter, couldn't find his stride and struck out twice early on. Bryce Harper managed a walk but unfortunately struck out in a critical moment with runners in scoring position.Dodgers Strike First and Build a Lead
