Mets Lose to Los Angeles, 5-3
The Los Angeles Dodgers defeated the New York Mets, 5-3. Designated Hitter Shohei Ohtani deserved a large share of the credit. Ohtani was 3 for 4 with a triple and 2 singles, while scoring 2 times and driving in 3 for the Dodgers. Sandy Koufax got the win, improving to 8-13. He held the Mets to 2 runs on 5 hits over 7 innings, while striking out 8 and walking 3. Eric Gagne picked up his 6th save of the season.

The Mets had been locked in a 2-2 tie with the Dodgers going into the bottom of the sixth inning. That changed quickly when the 35-year old first baseman Jack Fournier came to the plate. Fournier hit a run-scoring double on a first pitch fastball from New York hurler Jacob deGrom. It was Fournier's 6th double of the year.

Los Angeles manager attributed the win to "a little bit of this and a little bit of that."

Los Angeles bumps their record to 64-68 with the win.
