What happened: The Orange County native connected to center in the sixth inning with a runner aboard. The hosts trimmed the margin once after his swing but got no closer.
Why it matters: The victory opened a three-game set and lifted the club to 66-66. With 30 games left, the .500 mark keeps the postseason race relevant.
By the numbers: Hedges finished 1-for-4 with two RBIs and one run scored; the homer was his fifth of 2026.
What to watch: The series continues Tuesday night in Anaheim.
