What happened: Los Angeles has stormed back with eight unanswered runs to move in front at Dodger Stadium. After trailing early, the home side pieced together a sustained rally to flip the score and seize momentum in a still-unfolding game against San Diego.
Why it matters: The swing matters for a Dodgers club sitting atop its division race at 56-31 and carrying the series edge. A comeback of this size underscores the lineup depth that has powered Los Angeles through the season and keeps pressure on a struggling San Diego team that has lost its last five.
By the numbers: Los Angeles entered the day 56-31, scoring 5.3 runs per game; San Diego stands at 43-42 and 3.9 runs per game while riding a five-game skid. The Dodgers lead the current series 2-1. Recent head-to-head: Los Angeles won 4-2 on June 28 and 15-3 on June 27, while San Diego took the June 26 meeting 7-1.
What to watch: Watch whether Los Angeles can protect the lead over the remaining innings and extend its edge in the series, with the bullpen's ability to hold the margin the key storyline down the stretch.
