"The Dodgers (89-69) survived another bullpen implosion, as and Edgardo Henriquez struggled to spoil a strong Blake Snell start and an insane Roki Sasaki inning of relief. Clayton Kershaw also had a strong inning of relief and Jack Dreyer/Blake Treinen survived the 10th despite two Dreyer walks. Tommy Edman gave them the lead in the 11th, and Justin Wrobleski struck out two in a perfect 11th to give the Dodgers their 89th win and shrink the magic number down to one."
"Yoshinobu Yamamoto gets his final tuneup before the postseason. He's put together a season that'll likely garner him some Cy Young votes, with a 2.58 ERA in 167 2/3 innings over his first 29 starts. He'll be the first Dodger starter to make 30 starts in a season since Julio [redacted] in 2022. Yama's been excellent of late, allowing exactly one hit in each of his last three start. Naturally, the Dodgers are 1-2 in Yamamoto's last three despite him allowing three hits, two runs"
The Dodgers earned an 11-inning victory to reach 89 wins and reduce their magic number to one. The game featured a strong Blake Snell start undermined by bullpen trouble, including a rough outing from Edgardo Henriquez and an unusual inning from Roki Sasaki in relief. Clayton Kershaw, Jack Dreyer and Blake Treinen provided additional relief innings, and Tommy Edman delivered the go-ahead play in the 11th. Justin Wrobleski retired the side in order with two strikeouts to secure the win. Playoff positioning remains favorable: a finale win clinches the division today, and other win/loss combinations can also clinch it. Yoshinobu Yamamoto enters his final tuneup with a 2.58 ERA and strong recent form, though he has shown occasional command issues and had one poor start in Arizona earlier.
