The Bottom Line
GAME SUMMARY IN 100 WORDS:
Michael Conforto’s first-pitch single completed a stunning three-run eighth-inning comeback as the Dodgers defeated the Mets 6-5 at Dodger Stadium on June 5, 2025. Despite three Mets home runs and an 11-9 hit advantage for New York, Los Angeles capitalized on Brett Baty’s throwing error and Reed Garrett’s control problems to erase a 5-3 deficit. Pete Alonso’s three-hit performance and David Peterson’s seven strong innings went to waste as the Mets stranded 13 runners. The victory marked the Dodgers’ MLB-leading 21st comeback win and secured a series split. Full game details at MLB.com.
