Nolan Gorman hit a 3-2 fastball out to right in the first inning, two runs in before the Dodgers had settled in. By the time Emmet Sheehan left after 4.2 innings, he had given up eight hits and four earned runs, struck out eight, and the Cardinals had the game. Jordan Walker's double in the seventh scored two more — the throw from left got away and let him take third. Matthew Liberatore went 5.2 innings, two runs, and the St. Louis bullpen did not falter. The Dodgers committed two errors and left eight on base. Alec Burleson added a home run in the third. Max Muncy doubled in a run for Los Angeles in the second; it was their only scoring until the sixth.
