27 Jul
Summary
- Tyrone Taylor's sixth-inning homer secured the Mets' 8-3 win.
- The Mets' bullpen held the Dodgers to three singles over five innings.
- The Dodgers' four-game winning streak concluded with this loss.
Tyrone Taylor's go-ahead three-run homer in the sixth inning propelled the New York Mets to an 8-3 victory on Sunday over the visiting Los Angeles Dodgers. This blast was the Mets' first hit since the first inning and doubled as Taylor's eighth homer of the season. The Mets snapped a three-game skid with this win.
Four relievers combined to limit the Dodgers to three singles and one hit by pitch over the final five innings, with Cionel Perez pitching two perfect innings. Los Angeles' bullpen struggled, with Evan Phillips allowing a home run for the fourth time in his last five appearances.
The Dodgers, who saw their four-game winning streak end, had scored twice in the third inning off Mets starter Freddy Peralta. However, their offense could not overcome the Mets' late-game power surge and strong relief pitching. Freeman finished 2-for-4 for his fourth straight multi-hit game.
