The Dodgers defeated the Reds 6-3 despite being limited to just three hits in the series opener. Cincinnati jumped ahead 1-0 on an Elly De La Cruz home run in the first inning and held the lead into the fifth, but a throwing error by Ke'Bryan Hayes allowed two runs to score and gave Los Angeles the advantage. Teoscar Hernandez extended the lead with a three-run home run in the sixth inning, and the Dodgers held on despite Cincinnati's late-inning efforts to narrow the gap.
