Expert recap and game analysis of the New York Mets vs. Los Angeles Dodgers MLB game from May 24, 2025 on ESPN.

Bobby Miller made his first career relief appearance at the big league level, tossing two innings of one run ball. After loading the bases in the eighth, he escaped further damage with a nice glove flip to Dalton Rushing and by getting Juan Soto to ground out weakly.

Juan Soto's hit gave the Mets a 4-2 lead in the fourth inning. David Peterson was brilliant in his 7 2/3 innings.

The Los Angeles Dodgers need to wait out yet another rain delay this season and exhaust their entire bullpen after Tanner Scott’s blown save, but still managed to start their road trip with a 7-5 win over the New York Mets in 13 innings.

At some point between the 98-minute rain delay and Friday’s final pitch at Citi Field, which Luis García delivered moments before the clock struck 1 a.m., Mets manager Carlos Mendoza pulled every lever available to him.

PITCHING PROBABLES: Dodgers: Landon Knack (2-1, 6.17 ERA, 1.54 WHIP, 23 strikeouts); Mets: Kodai Senga (4-3, 1.43 ERA, 1.19 WHIP, 47 strikeouts)
