Jordan Walker's 10th home run of the year came on an 0-2 forkball at 84.2 mph — a 110.0 mph line drive to left field that scored Alec Burleson ahead of him — and that two-run swing was the margin until the ninth. Michael McGreevy gave St. Louis six innings of three-hit shutout baseball on 88 pitches, and Roki Sasaki matched him except for the third: 104 pitches, five hits, three earned runs, and the loss. The Dodgers made it close in the ninth when Max Muncy and Andy Pages singled in runs off Riley O'Brien, who gave up four hits and two runs in the inning but got the final out. Four hits through eight innings is what Los Angeles had to work with.
