By admin — In News — July 15, 2026

   ​With the 2026 All-Star Game behind us, it’s time to gear up for the second half of the season.That said, the first half was full of ups and downs for the Boys in Blue, but they hit the break with an MLB-best record of 61-36.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementWe here at Dodgers Nation asked fans to help us put together our list of the best moments.Check out some of our favorite responses below, and let us know if we missed anything!Let’s start with an electric defensive highlight that Lysa Stone summed up nicely: “Miggy throw, Freddie split.”On June 5 in the Freeway Series, a hard-hit ground ball ricocheted off of Roki Sasaki’s glove.Fortunately, Miggy Ro was there to barehand the ball and get it to first baseman Freddie Freeman, who was in a full split, narrowly beating the runner.The Angels runner was initially called safe, though Rojas’ incredible play was confirmed to be an out upon review.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementAs Jorge Aleman described it, “Play of The Year!!!”Mike Shippey nominated this one: “Teo’s GS against the Pads on July 3rd was pretty sweet.”Mike, “pretty sweet” might be an understatement.On July 3, the Dodgers were in a 3-0 hole to the San Diego Padres.Fortunately, with the bases loaded in the seventh inning, Teo Hernandez stepped up and homered to left center field, flipping the game on its head and leading to a Dodgers win.As Brent Schneider noted, that’s just one of several come-from-behind wins against the Padres this season, providing several results for Dodgers fans to savor.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementShoutout to Joe Collins for bringing up this emotional moment.On April 14, Alex Vesia recorded a save in a 2-1 win over the New York Mets with three ninth-inning strikeouts on just 10 pitches, but that’s far from the best part of the night.Vesia and his wife, Kayla, lost their daughter during the 2025 World Series run, and for this game, the Vesias invited a few dozen healthcare workers who’d cared for their family to take in Dodger Stadium.After the game, SportsNet LA’s Kirsten Watson pointed out the caregivers’ suite to Vesia.That wave he shared with them was a moment not to be forgotten.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementThis one was nominated by X user @yestosehunn: On June 13, Yoshinobu Yamamoto took a perfect game into the eighth inning and a no-hitter into the ninth.A bobbled ball by Mookie Betts with two outs in the eighth inning and a solo homer in the ninth were all that stood between Yama and history, though the game was well in hand by that point.With the near-miss performance, it seems like it could be a matter of time until Yamamoto earns that no-hitter.As an honorable mention, we have to include Yama’s dominant performance against the Toronto Blue Jays after his World Series MVP performance last year, an achievement noted by both Daniel Schneider and Damien Garrett.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementDalton Rushing may be the Dodgers’ lig
