The Dodgers avoided a sweep by the Padres thanks to four combined home runs from Freddie Freeman, Dalton Rushing and Shohei Ohtani. Freeman's first homer tied the game in the sixth, Rushing's three-run shot put the Dodgers ahead in the seventh, and Freeman added a second homer in that inning. Ohtani tied the National League with his 45th homer in the ninth. After his homer, Ohtani high-fived a heckling Padres fan behind home plate. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts called the fan "very annoying" and noted it was out of character for Ohtani to initiate the high five. Ohtani finished the series 1-for-11 with one homer, two walks and three strikeouts.

After rounding the bases, Ohtani stopped by the dugout and high-fived a Padres fan who had been heckling him throughout the afternoon. While the boisterous fan had plenty to say during the game, Freeman managed to avoid any comments.
