The St. Louis Cardinals overcame an early three-run deficit and defeated the Los Angeles Dodgers 8-6 in 10 innings at Dodger Stadium. Los Angeles controlled the opening frame, but St. Louis answered with two runs in the sixth, two in the seventh, one in the eighth and three more in the 10th. The Dodgers briefly tied the game with a run in the bottom of the 10th, but the Cardinals produced the final answer. The result moved St. Louis to 70-70 while Los Angeles fell to 82-57.

Los Angeles generated its biggest individual production from Freddie Freeman and Mookie Betts, who combined for two home runs and five RBIs. Freeman went 2-for-2 with three RBIs, and Betts went 2-for-6 with two RBIs; Teoscar Hernández added three hits in five at-bats. The difference came late, when Gordon Graceffo held the Dodgers off balance with six strikeouts across three innings, and St. Louis scored three times in the 10th before surviving Los Angeles' final response. The Dodgers also reached base three times via hit by pitch, but those opportunities did not translate into the extra run required to win.

The Cardinals leave Los Angeles with a comeback that reflects timely power and late-inning control rather than a clean wire-to-wire performance. Saggese, Baez and Bernal supplied the offense after Yamamoto had largely contained them, while Graceffo stabilized the game long enough for the 10th-inning rally to hold. For the Dodgers, the lineup produced enough damage to win in regulation, but the failure to protect leads after the sixth inning exposed a late-game execution problem that must be corrected quickly.
