Los Angeles Dodgers defeat San Francisco Giants 4-3

The Los Angeles Dodgers secured a 4-3 victory over the San Francisco Giants at Oracle Park, moving to 99 wins for the season. Kiké Hernández delivered the decisive blow with a tie-breaking home run at the start of the ninth inning. Mookie Betts also contributed a solo home run earlier in the game.

Pitcher Blake Snell made a successful return to the mound in his final regular-season tune-up before the postseason. After previously leaving a start due to left groin tightness, Snell pitched four innings, allowing one run on five hits while striking out three. The Dodgers managed his workload carefully to ensure his health for the upcoming playoffs.

The Giants, who have now lost seven consecutive games to their rivals, fought back from deficits in both the seventh and eighth innings to tie the game before Hernández’s ninth-inning blast. Tanner Scott earned his 25th save of the season by closing out the final frame. The Dodgers' win keeps their hopes alive for a 100-win season.
