Justin Wrobleski dominated on the mound, and Andy Pages delivered a timely power surge as the Los Angeles Dodgers blanked the New York Mets 4-0. Wrobleski’s career-high eight innings of two-hit ball, plus Pages’ three-run blast, pushed Los Angeles to another early-season win. The Dodgers stay atop the NL West, while the Mets keep struggling to score without Juan Soto in the lineup.
Wrobleski’s eight-inning gem anchors Dodgers’ win
Wrobleski carved up the Mets with a career-best eight innings on just 90 pitches. He fired 64 strikes and didn’t allow a single walk.
The Mets didn’t even get a baserunner until the fifth inning. Wrobleski set the tone for the shutout right from the start.
Tanner Scott took over in the ninth, worked around a leadoff single, and got a game-ending double play. The Dodgers’ pitching depth just keeps showing up.
Key offensive contributors
- Andy Pages smashed a three-run homer in the third inning—his fifth of the year. He’s riding a hot streak and really sparked the offense here.
- Shohei Ohtani extended his career-best on-base streak to 47 games. He got hit on the shoulder and went 0-for-4, but his impact goes way beyond hits.
- Will Smith chipped in early with a first-inning RBI single, giving the Dodgers a cushion and keeping the Mets from building any momentum.
Mets’ offense stalls without Soto; skid continues
The Mets are still winless on this road trip and have slipped to 7-10 for the year. Their offense just can’t get going—especially without Juan Soto.
They’ve had trouble putting up more than two runs lately, and at one point, they went scoreless for 20 straight innings. Without Soto, it’s been tough to string hits together or cash in on chances.
Pitching notes and late-inning details
- David Peterson (0-3) took the loss. He walked Kyle Tucker, gave up Will Smith’s RBI single in the first, and barely escaped a bases-loaded jam. He just couldn’t keep the Dodgers off the board long enough.
- The Mets’ bullpen-struggles-continue-in-new-series/”>bullpen had a rough night behind an offense that couldn’t help out. Wrobleski’s groove and the Dodgers’ clutch hits made things even harder.
- Marcus Semien led off the ninth with a single, but the Dodgers turned a double play to end it and lock down the shutout.
Outlook: standings, rotations, and next series
The Dodgers are now 12-4 and still leading the NL West. They’re riding some strong early momentum.
The Mets, meanwhile, just want to stop the bleeding as they get ready for the next game in Los Angeles.
Upcoming matchups and rotations
- The Mets will send out Nolan McLean for Tuesday’s game. He’ll face the Dodgers’ righty, Yoshinobu Yamamoto.
- Los Angeles keeps riding its strong rotation. The lineup’s got some pop, with Pages swinging a hot bat and Ohtani always a threat on the bases.
- New York’s still searching for answers at the plate. Meanwhile, Los Angeles looks to stretch its winning streak and tighten its grip on the division.
