The Los Angeles Dodgers delivered an electric 8-7 win, totaling 15 hits and seeing high-quality pitching all night.

Glasnow totaled 100 pitches on the dot, getting seven strikeouts and allowing just five hits, two of which were hit for home runs.

One of the pitches was a hanging curveball, and another was a fastball down the middle, which former Dodger Corey Seager made him pay for.

The righty walked just one hitter, and for the most part, he had his full arsenal going, and his fastball was up a tick from his first two starts.

However, as they have recently, the Dodgers’ offense bailed out Glasnow and the pitching staff. Max Muncy delivered a trio of home runs, the second of which gave him sole possession of third on the Dodgers all-time home run leader board.

The top of the lineup did not deliver too much, but it was Muncy and Andy Pages who stole the show.

Pages went 3-for-3 on the night with a home run and four RBIs, two of which came from a hard-hit double on the opposite side of the field.

Then, Pages crushed a two-run home run that grew the lead to 7-4, seemingly blowing the game open for Edwin Diaz to seal it.

However, Edwin Diaz blew his first save as a Dodger rather than shut the Rangers down, like he usually does. Sugar allowed four hits and a walk, along with a two-run blast that brought Texas to within one.

Then, another handful of hits tied the game up. Diaz managed to get the third out to keep the game tied.

Before his outing against the Rangers, Diaz had only given up one run, two hits, and three walks, but he had a stumble for the first time since inking his $69 million deal.

Muncy, after Diaz’s uncharacteristic night, was down 0-2 with two outs, seemingly on his way to getting out and pushing the game into extra innings.

However, he got a pitch to crush and did not hesitate, using his signature eye and bat speed to deliver at the plate.

It was an electric finish for a packed crowd that got their special Shohei Ohtani bobbleheads, celebrating his legendary Game 4 of the NLCS performance, in which he hit three home runs and struck out 10.
