Dodgers clinch 5-4 walk-off victory over Royals after late comeback
Los Angeles rallied past Kansas City 5-4 in the tenth, with Max Muncy delivering the walk-off single after the Dodgers squandered a two-run lead.
Blake Snell returned from the injured list and pitched six strong innings, allowing just one run, before a two-run seventh inning sparked by doubles from Mookie Betts, Alex Call and Teoscar Hernández gave the Dodgers the edge. The advantage vanished in the eighth when Evan Phillips yielded three straight singles and a later error by Andy Pages on a Carter Jensen fly ball allowed Jac Caglianone to score. Betts later equalized with an opposite-field RBI single. After a scoreless ninth, right-hander Seth Halvorsen retired the top of the tenth, and Max Muncy capped the comeback with a bases-loaded line-drive walk-off, sealing a 5-4 triumph over the Kansas City Royals.
Why it matters
The win ends the Dodgers' recent slump and showcases their resilience in a tightly contested game.
