The Los Angeles Dodgers secured a dramatic 7-6 victory over the Boston Red Sox in an 11-inning thriller, thanks to a walk-off single by Will Smith. The game saw multiple lead changes, with the Red Sox initially leading 4-3 and 6-4 in the 9th and 10th innings, respectively. The Dodgers managed to tie the game each time, setting the stage for Smith's heroics. In the bottom of the 11th inning, the Red Sox intentionally walked Shohei Ohtani to load the bases with one out. Greg Weissert, who had been struggling on the mound, fell behind in the count and delivered a sinker that Smith hit to left field, driving in the winning run. The Dodgers came back three times in the back half of the game, twice behind Enrique Hernandez, before Will Smith walked it off through a 5-man infield.
