01:06a one two three top of the first inning for Jack Flaherty here's the right hander Tanner Bybee
01:1328th start of the season it's moved up a day in the wake of the Alex Cobb scratching yesterday
01:18Shohei Otani with a home run here on Friday night hit one nine miles foul to start the game last
01:24night and he's having some kind of season swung on and there's a high fly ball left field settling
01:31under it is Will Brennan and he makes the catch that was medium left yeah but the fans here every
01:37time he puts one in play a fly ball they think it's going and it's fun swung on ground ball
01:42first base diving stop Naylor to his feet runs to the bag and he's there ahead of Betts in time
01:48for the out nice play by Josh Naylor swung on line to first caught by Naylor in foul territory
01:56for the third out in the inning no score top half of the second inning Josh Naylor leads things off
02:02three one a little bouncer to Freddie Freeman it backs him up long overhand toss to Flaherty
02:08covering and that's the out three one to put out one away for the guardians Lane Thomas the batter
02:13and Thomas pops it up to shallow left center sinking fast and it gets down it's a base hit
02:19bobbled out there in the outfield Thomas refires heads to second and he's in safely costly error
02:25on what should have been routine and now you've got a runner in scoring position now the curveball
02:29tapped right back to Flaherty he'll play the hop throws it on to first base runner holds at second
02:35even though Flaherty never did look at the runner hopped him up Will Smith tosses the mask
02:42Jack Flaherty strands Thomas on the bases two scoreless gone off the plate and ball four lead
02:49off walk for Muncie Muncie leads at first right handed batting Smith hitting 242 at the plate
02:55swing and a miss strike three got him with the slider that time Smith down on strikes Muncie
03:02remains at first base one on and that's lined to center right there Tyler Freeman makes the catch
03:08two down in the inning Gavin Lux will bat swung on bouncing ball to the third baseman Schneeman
03:13he'll throw to first in time for the out and the side is retired Kevin Kiermaier steps in
03:19left-handed batter high ball center field hit well back goes Freeman on to the track
03:25he runs it down Kiermaier gave it a ride for that's out number two now here comes Shohei
03:31with two down bases empty no score Tani fights it to center field for a two-out single
03:38this is where Shohei's so good because they're playing him at the warning track because
03:43the power the capability everything that Shohei just his swings show you then he misses one and
03:48what would normally probably be a fly out ends up dropping it easily because the respect that
03:53he gets from the defense to play him deep keep an eye on Otani he has 46 stolen bases he's only
04:00been caught four times throw to first he dives back in they got him Bybee picks off Otani at
04:07first base side retired that counts two and two on Josh with Jose Ramirez at first base that's
04:15poked into the glove of Muncie get up Max and they throws across to double up Ramirez oh baby what a
04:25play who says Max Muncie doesn't have hawks I mean talk about get up there's strike three
04:32first K for clarity for shutout behind him all right Mookie Betts will step in he homered last
04:39night part of that seven to two Los Angeles win and he is on some kind of tear right now after
04:45missing time due to a broken hand he has come back with a vengeance Mookie Betts on a line
04:51center field Freeman on the track at the wall can't make the catch crashes off the wall the
04:57ball bounces off of it Mookie rounding for third he has it standing up fourth triple of the season
05:05for Mookie Betts it went high off the center field wall and the Dodgers with a runner at third and
05:11nobody out he lets it go low ball four Max has walked twice now first and third and one out
05:17Will Smith the batter line drive base hit it Mookie comes home Muncie goes to third
05:23Will Smith gives the Dodgers the first lead of the day pitch middle away it was probably
05:28supposed to be elevated a little bit higher but a shortened swing from Will Smith he knows his job
05:32let's put this thing in the outfield get the Dodgers on the board two hits two walks a run
05:36in bases loaded one out Gavin Lux coming up swing and a miss right back struck him out with a really
05:43good change up came right back with a real good change up he knew he had him out in front the
05:46last pitch but he made a beautiful pitch there gets the strikeout his own second strikeout but
05:52boy did that come at the right time Pajas pushes it in the air to right field so the Dodgers get
06:00one run to take the lead but that's going to feel like a win for Tanner Biby
06:05Shohei one for two Johnny with a single in the third inning after flying out to left
06:10back in the first third time facing Biby Shohei swings and hammers one way down the right field
06:17line that ball's gone home run Shohei Ohtani number 46 oh what a monster blast over the
06:29visiting bullpen incredible as the show rolls on here at Dodger Stadium oh did he absolutely

06:55a fastball two down four strikeouts for Flaherty meanwhile for Jack Flaherty maybe getting
07:01overlooked a little bit in this ballgame he's given up just three hits another three hits two
07:07of them that were bloopers in the air to left Pajas ranges over no problems for Jack Flaherty
07:14in the sixth either six shutout sixth strikeout and he retires the side in order for the third
07:23consecutive inning Jack Flaherty on a roll here this afternoon it is stretch time middle of the
07:29seventh the score the Dodgers two and the guardians nothing a phenomenal performance

08:35Smith after his one out double in the eight Chris Taylor struck out with two on and one out in the
08:42sixth now comes up with a man at second base and two down Taylor in the air right field sinking
08:48fast that'll drop for a hit here comes Will he'll score without a play a crooked number in the eight
08:55and now a four zip lead with that double play ground out by Ramirez this is incredible the
09:01guardians are now 0 for 19 in the series with runners in scoring position first and third
09:09with two men out and Lane Thomas will come to the plate he had a base hit in the second inning
