The action kicked off with Brandon Nimmo working a walk and then stealing second, setting the stage early. It was Francisco Lindor's ground rule double that got Nimmo home, giving us the early lead. Lindor, as always, came through when we needed him the most.
However, the Dodgers tied it up in the bottom of the first, but that did little to dampen our spirits!Marte's Home Run Sparks the Fire

This was the moment that truly tilted the game in our favor, and what a sight it was – that ball was hit with some serious gusto.
