The Cardinals had early innings opportunities, but had nothing to show for it on the scoreboard until late and, even then, not enough to sweep the Dodgers as LA prevailed 4-1. The Los Angeles Dodgers struck first when Kyle Tucker doubled in the top of the 2nd inning followed by a walk to Max Muncy and a double from Andy Pages giving the Dodgers a 1-0 lead. Kim then singled scoring Muncy making it 2-0 Los Angeles.
Kim would irritate the Cardinals further when he reached on an infield single in the top of the 5th inning. He advanced to second on an infield groundout by Shohei Ohtani and then scored on a Freddie Freeman single giving the Dodgers a 3-0 lead. That was a historic RBI with a Cardinals connection as Freddie passed Johnny Mize for 94th on the all-time RBI list .
The Los Angeles Dodgers got an excellent start from Justin Wrobleski who held the Cardinals scoreless allowing only 6 hits through the first 6 innings. Dustin May wasn’t great, but wasn’t awful either. He kept the Cardinals within striking distance allowing 3 earned runs on 7 hits through 6 innings.
