**Dodgers Capitalize on Mets' Error to Secure Comeback Victory**

In a high-stakes matchup, the Los Angeles Dodgers managed to snatch a dramatic victory against the New York Mets, thanks largely to a costly defensive error. During Thursday's eighth inning, with the Mets leading late, a series of misplays turned the tide in favor of the Dodgers.

The critical moment occurred with runners on the corners and just one out. Dodgers' Andy Pages hit a ground ball to Mets' third baseman Brett Baty. Baty managed to field the ball cleanly and aimed to throw out Dodgers catcher Will Smith, who was bolting home from third base. However, Baty's throw was off-target, landing in the dirt in front of Mets catcher Francisco Alvarez. The ball deflected into the air and, although Reed Garrett managed to catch it mid-air, his subsequent attempt to tag Smith resulted in a collision with Alvarez, who was still searching for the ball.

This mishap allowed Smith to score the game-tying run. The defensive fiasco didn't end the Dodgers' momentum. Shortly after, former Mets outfielder Michael Conforto drove in the go-ahead run with an RBI single, giving the Dodgers a 6-5 lead.

Dodgers reliever Tanner Scott ensured the victory by successfully closing out the ninth inning, sealing a thrilling comeback win for Los Angeles.
