Dodgers Pull Off Comeback Win Over Royals! 
️
What a game, Dodger fans! Our boys pulled off an electrifying comeback against the Kansas City Royals to secure a 4-3 victory. Let's dive into the action-packed innings!
Pitchers Duel Early
The game started as a pitchers' showdown. Both the Dodgers and the Royals struggled to get anything going offensively. Mookie Betts, Shohei Ohtani, and Freddie Freeman were all retired in order. It was a similar story for the Royals, with Maikel Garcia, Bobby Witt Jr., and Vinnie Pasquantino failing to make a dent.
Royals Strike First 
The Royals broke the deadlock in the 4th inning. Salvador Perez launched a massive 437-foot homer, bringing in Garcia and Pasquantino to give the Royals a solid 3-0 lead. It looked like our Dodgers were in trouble, but this team never gives up.
Dodgers Rally in the 5th Inning 
Dodger bats came alive in the 5th inning. A clutch two-run homer by Miguel Rojas got us on the board. Chris Taylor didn't want to be left out and followed with a solo shot of his own to tie the game at 3-3. Just like that, we're back in it!
Pitching Dominance in the 6th and 7th Innings
The game stayed tied through the 6th and 7th innings as both teams struggled to bring runners home. Key defensive plays and solid pitching kept the Royals from scoring, and despite a couple of hits, we couldn’t get anything across the plate either.
Freeman's Heroics in the 8th! 
In the bottom of the 8th inning, Mookie Betts singled and moved to second on a pickoff error. With Betts in scoring position, Freddie Freeman came through in the clutch, driving in Betts with a single to center field for the go-ahead run! The Dodgers now led 4-3.
Closing the Door in the 9th 
Alex Vesia took the mound in the 9th and got the first two outs quickly. After Nelson Velázquez singled, Dairon Blanco came in to pinch run. But Nick Loftin's line out to right field sealed the deal and Dodgers fans could finally exhale with joy!
Final Thoughts 
This was a game that showcased the grit and determination of our Los Angeles Dodgers. Miguel Rojas and Chris Taylor sparked the comeback, while Freddie Freeman played the hero in the 8th. And let's not forget our pitchers who kept us in the game!
