Dodgers general manager Brandon Gomes indicated that Freeman has been falling short of the team's expectations alongside Betts when he sent a hopeful message that the duo would return to form alongside the return of Max Muncy.

Then, Freeman stepped to the plate, and as he has done time and again, he delivered. A walk-off single to left field, which tipped off the glove of the Twins' Harrison Bader, gave the Dodgers an enrapturing 4-3 victory.

Freddie Freeman leaves the game after taking a pitch off his wrist as the Milwaukee Brewers defeat the Dodgers 6-5 to sweep the season series between the teams.
