Game Summary
Los Angeles Dodgers defeated Kansas City Royals 6-5. The Dodgers won by out-hitting Kansas City 10-6 and delivering timely offense, including Max Muncy’s three-run double in the sixth and Freddie Freeman’s go-ahead RBI single in the seventh. Jac Caglianone paced the Royals with a two-run homer and finished 2-for-4 with three RBIs, while Freeman (3-for-4, 2 RBI) and Muncy (1-for-4, 3 RBI) were key contributors. The pivotal moment came in the sixth when Muncy’s double turned a 3-3 game into a 5-3 lead; Freeman’s RBI in the bottom of the seventh provided the final margin. Tarik Skubal worked five innings with six strikeouts, and Alex Vesia tossed a scoreless inning to help preserve the victory. Alex Lange was charged with the loss.
