Happy Wednesday, people of Los Angeles! Here's everything you need to know about what's happening today. The Dodgers beat the Giants 7-2 to force a Game 5 in San Francisco Thursday. Four home runs from two players —Mookie Betts and Will Smith — helped the Dodgers keep the Giants on their heels the entire game. The deadline for Los Angeles Unified School District employees to get their first mandated COVID-19 vaccine is Friday, and district officials are urging employees to roll up their sleeves. Though staffers don't risk termination until November thanks to a last-minute decision to push back the deadline for full vaccination, the district faces major upheaval if masses of vaccine-hesitant test the mandate. Let's get to today' top headlines. First, today's weather: Plenty of sunshine, but cool. High: 74 Low: 53.
