Wrobleski struck out two and threw 90 pitches to improve to 2-0 with a 2.12 ERA. He faced minimal trouble against a Mets lineup that managed only three hits total, never allowing a runner past second base.
The Dodgers struck early when Smith singled to center, scoring Ohtani for a 1-0 lead in the first inning. Pages delivered the decisive blow in the third, homering to left field to score Tucker and Freeman, extending the lead to 4-0.
David Peterson absorbed the loss for New York, allowing four runs on five hits over five innings. He walked four and struck out seven but fell to 0-3 with a 6.41 ERA as the Mets managed little offense against Wrobleski's precision.
Los Angeles snapped a one-game losing streak to improve to 11-4, maintaining first place in their division. New York extended their losing streak to five games and fell to 7-9. Miguel Rojas collected three hits and sits four away from 200 career doubles and two away from 1,000 career hits, while Kyle Tucker is one RBI away from 500 career RBIs.
