Freddie Freeman hit a walk-off home run in the ninth inning to lift the Los Angeles Dodgers past the Angels 1-0 on Thursday night, June 5, securing a dramatic one-run victory at Dodger Stadium.
Freeman’s blast came off Angels reliever Kirby Yates with the game tied and the bases empty, sending the crowd into celebration and ending a tightly contested pitching duel that had remained scoreless until Freeman’s decisive swing.
The walk-off marked Freeman’s first regular-season walk-off home run since September 25, 2020, when he was with the Atlanta Braves, according to social media reports from the game. Freeman has become known for his clutch postseason moments, including his historic walk-off grand slam in the 2024 World Series and another walk-off homer in the 2025 World Series.
