The Los Angeles Dodgers fell 8-6 to the St. Louis Cardinals on Wednesday, marking their second consecutive loss and the end of the three-game series. Freddie Freeman provided an early lead for Los Angeles with a three-run home run in the first inning. The game remained tight before St. Louis scored three runs in the top of the 10th inning off Brock Stewart, who allowed hits to Nathan Church, Thomas Saggese, and Joshua Baez.

Yoshinobu Yamamoto surrendered four runs in his start, contributing to the team's ongoing bullpen challenges. Los Angeles plays again Thursday as they look to avoid a series sweep with Tarik Skubal starting.
