The Mets' eight-game losing streak is about to cost them the last Wild Card spot. The Giants have benefited most from this. However, on Saturday, like the Mets, they also lost 7-13 to the Dodgers and remain only half a game behind the New Yorkers. The Reds and D-backs are also deeply involved in the fight in the final month of the regular season.

Some considered Game 1 of the Giants-Dodgers series to be one of the best of the regular season; it was a close pitching game that, tied 1-1, forced extra innings. Pages got an out with an outfield assist to prevent the Giants from scoring a run. However, in extra innings, the Giants' RF cut the Dodgers' go-ahead run with an out.

Finally, Tanner Scott loaded the bases from the bullpen, and Patrick Bailey again responded at the climactic moment of a game with a walk-off grand slam, sending Oracle Park into a frenzy.

But the story of Game 2 was different. What Ohtani has, besides all his athletic qualities, is that when the Dodgers most need him to show up, he's always there. In a key game for the Dodgers in the division lead, in Game 2, the Japanese hitter went 3-for-5 with his 49th home run of the season.
