Dodgers sync up with legendary ‘4+1’ game with 4 home runs in 8th
The Dodgers hit back-to-back homers twice
Los Angeles Dodgers captured a 8-2 victory over the San Francisco Giants at Dodger Stadium on Friday night. The win evoked memories of a historic "4+1" game on this date 20 years ago when the Dodgers hit four consecutive home runs in the eighth inning, including two sets of back-to-back home runs. Mookie Betts led the charge early with a leadoff home run and followed up with a second in the eighth inning, giving him 22 home runs on the season, the most he has hit since 2023.
The Giants answered with a solo home run by Jung Hoo Lee, tying the game at a run apiece. Glasnow had a tough night, striking out 10 batters on the night despite his fastball command not being sharp. Betts got on base three times, including a single in the fifth inning, that followed Josue De Paula's first career hit at Dodger Stadium.
The Dodgers staged a comeback with back-to-back homers by Max Muncy and Kyle Tucker in the eighth inning, evoking memories of the historic game 20 years ago. Edwin Diaz capped off the win with a scoreless ninth inning. The Dodgers and Giants will face off again on Saturday at Dodger Stadium.
