The Los Angeles Dodgers secured a 4-3 walk-off win against the Minnesota Twins, highlighted by Freddie Freeman's two-run base hit in the ninth inning. Mookie Betts started the rally with an infield single, followed by an intentional walk for Shohei Ohtani and a walk for Esteury Ruiz to load the bases. Freeman, working to improve his swing, achieved his 16th career walk-off hit. He acknowledged the team's performance and the significance of securing a series win, while also celebrating his 100th career base stolen during the game.
Freeman explained his approach during the at-bat and noted how it needed to change after taking fastballs. 'I had to change my plan here. Credit to all the guys getting on base and Tyler was amazing today.'
Freeman now has 16 walk-off hits in his career, the most of any active player in the Majors. He finished the game 2-for-5 with a run scored and also stole his 100th career base in the sixth inning.
Freeman downplayed individual success, stating, 'It's more of that was a huge win for us. A series win. Good game on both sides, a well-played baseball game.'
Freeman said, 'I wouldn't say I fixed it. There's a lot of slices and pushes to left field. It's a work in progress, but that last one looked a lot better.'
