The Dodgers' offense generated 10 hits and 4 RBIs despite a modest .713 OPS, enough to overcome Cleveland's anemic performance at the plate. The Guardians managed only 2 hits and a .188 batting average while striking out 10 times, with their pitching surrendering 10 hits and 4 earned runs for a 4.50 ERA. Cleveland's inability to generate offensive pressure—evidenced by their .574 OPS and single run—reflected a significant gap in execution between the two clubs. The Dodgers' pitching efficiency and defensive cleanliness set a strong foundation as the regular season approaches.
