The game turned into a slugfest.
San Francisco tied the game again with a walk by leadoff Nick Ahmed and a double by Jorge Soler in the bottom of the third, trailing 1-2. San Francisco, which came from behind 3-2 with Patrick Bailey's right-handed hit with one out and runners on the first and second bases, added a run with Matt Chapman's hit and widened the gap to 5-2 with Luis Mato's grounder to the third base in a bases-loaded chance made by Michael Confoto's walk.

Since San Francisco tied the game 6-6 in the bottom of the fifth inning due to Brett Weisley's timely hit, a tight bullpen fight has continued, and Ohtani retired with a fly ball to left field in the sixth inning and a three-pitch strikeout in the ninth inning.
The game was decided in extra time. As the Dodgers led the game with Rojas' timely hit in the top of the 10th inning, San Francisco tied the game again with David Villa's left double in the bottom of the 10th inning with one out and a runner on second base. However, with one out and the bases loaded, Patrick Bailey struck out and Matt Chapman stepped down for catcher foul fly, failing to finish the game.
In the end, the Dodgers scored seven runs in the top of the 11th inning of extra time. Ohtani, the leader of the second base with no outs, goes to the fourth pitch on purpose and has a chance for the first and second bases. Smith then hit opposing right-hander Sean Jelly with a double to left-center, bringing both runners home. Freeman hit a missed double to center field, and Smith also scored to widen the gap to 10-7. After that, the Dodgers bombed jelly wildly and ran away 14-7.
The Dodgers, who avenged their two-point loss the previous day, firmly maintained their lead in the National League West with 52 wins and 32 losses. San Francisco fell to fourth place in the same district with 40 wins and 44 losses.
