00:00It is the reunion of the two National League Championship teams last year.
00:06The Dodgers winning in seven games, coming back from three games to one down.
00:10Ian Anderson, 23-year-old right-hander, 4-2, 327 ERA, making his 11th start.
00:16Dodgers saw him in the NLCS.
00:17He gave up two runs on five hits in three innings of Game 7 of the NLCS.
00:22So the count runs full on Betts.
00:26Did he go?
00:27He did!
00:28And Betts is rung up on the appeal.
00:30Contreras came out of the box, waited for the call, and then fires the ball down to third.
00:34And Mookie Betts is out number one.
00:36So that's an E5 on Austin Riley.
00:39Now, Justin Turner's coming up.
00:42The L.A. Dodgers this year have hit into 34 double plays.
00:46There's the ground ball.
00:47Dansby's got it.
00:48Second, 4-1.
00:49Ozzie to turn!
00:50There's the double play.
00:51Anderson needed that.
00:53Dodgers are out in the first inning, and Atlanta goes to work at home next.
00:5712th start of the season for Julio Urias, 7-2.
01:03Seven wins tied with Clayton Kershaw for the second most in the National League.
01:07Just one behind the St. Louis Cardinals' Jack Flaherty.
01:11So here's Freddie Freeman.
01:12Times have been tough for the Braves' first baseman.
01:14One for his last 14.
01:16One-two on the way.
01:18Club high in the air to deep center field.
01:20This one's drifting back.
01:21This baby's going to take a ride.
01:24A home run out of Freddie Freeman, and it's 1-0 Braves.
01:28Stars bring out.
01:29These guys bring out the best in guys.
01:32Freeman had one hour behind his last 45 A.B.s.
01:35That ball is actually hammered after saying, and see that smile Freddie had with the Panda?
01:40Cody Bellinger up for the Dodgers.
01:43The pitch.
01:44Strike three, and Bellinger didn't like that.
01:50I think he let the umpire know it, too.
01:54He was in there Friday night, alternate red uniforms.
01:57The pitch.
01:58And a swing and a miss.
01:59There is the changeup.
02:01Smith couldn't resist.
02:03Three Dodgers strikeouts in an inning and two-thirds.
02:061-0 Atlanta.
02:07Here's Chris Taylor.
02:082-2 on the way.
02:09Strike three.
02:10Got him swinging.
02:12Anderson and Contreras fired up as he got him with that changeup.
02:16Lux, Pollock, and Urias for the Dodgers here in the third inning.
02:19And another change.
02:21Right now, they can't make the adjustment.
02:22He has struck out the last four hitters in a row.
02:24And five in total.
02:27Freeman hit a home run back in the first inning.
02:29It was beautiful.
02:30A shot to straightaway center tonight.
02:34Third strikeout of the game for Julio Urias as he gets Freeman to chase.
02:38And there's one down.
02:39Second, Walker is giving up.
02:41One out, one on.
02:43Austin Riley coming up.
02:46There goes the runner.
02:47Throw down a second.
02:48And it is in time to get him.
02:51Always thrown out for the first time this year.
02:54And the Braves might actually take a look at this.
02:57He's out.
02:58Ah, nonsense.
02:59Wow.
03:00Another New York protecting their own.
03:03Second walk of the inning and the game.
03:06As Turner moves to first, his 28th walk.
03:09This is again what is exasperating when you face the Dodgers.
03:12They do not just go up there hacking away.
03:14Granted bat by Bellinger.
03:16He's about to see a tenth pitch.
03:17And he's seen everything Ian's got.
03:20There he goes.
03:213-2 on the way.
03:22That time they got him.
03:23Swung on and missed.
03:24And a changeup claims Bellinger.
03:27And strikeout number six out of Ian Anderson.
03:29And another zero hung up on the board for Ian.
03:32Gavin Lux will be the batter.
03:34Where he struck out his first time.
03:35Chased a changeup.
03:37Now the 3-2.
03:39Lined into right field for a base hit.
03:41And rolls against the wall.
03:43Taylor rounding third.
03:45And he will be held there.
03:47And the Dodgers now with their first hit.
03:50Have second and third one man out.
03:52And A.J. Pollock coming up.
03:54Anderson set.
03:56Here's the pitch.
03:58Ground ball toward third.
04:00They come to the plate.
04:01It hits Taylor.
04:02And he scores.
04:04Riley's throw hit the back of Chris Taylor.
04:06And it's 1-1.
04:08First and third.
04:09And Julio will stay in the game now.
04:10As he'll bat for himself with the ball game tied.
04:13They're going to bunt him here.
04:16And he puts it in play.
04:18And here comes Lux.
04:19And he scores.
04:21A head first slide.
04:23Lux.
04:25Coming on contact.
04:27The safety squeeze works.
04:29And the Dodgers take a lead.
04:30It's 2-1.
04:31And that's going to be all for Ian Anderson.
04:33Who threw 97 pitches.
04:35And really had to labor through the 4th and the 5th innings.
04:39Justin Turner with the bases loaded.
04:41Dodgers have taken the lead.
04:43Big pitch in this young game.
04:47Here it comes to Turner.
04:50Outside ball four.
04:51And the Dodgers take a 3-1 lead.
04:54Talk about getting free stuff.
04:56Now here's Bellinger.
04:57There's a 3-1 count with the bases loaded and two out.
05:00Dodgers 3-1.
05:01Newcomb delivers.
05:03Low and inside ball four.
05:05And the Dodgers lead it.
05:074-1.
05:08Reyes comes in to score.
05:10The Dodgers and Will Smith want to tack on.
05:13Contreras gives him the side.
05:14He works the extreme first base side of the rubber.
05:16But he sends one home.
05:17And there's a shot up the middle and a base hit.
05:20Will Smith gets it time.
05:22Pools comes in to score.
05:23And the Dodgers have added on.
05:275-1.
05:29The walks have come back to really hurt Atlanta.
05:32Only the two hits.
05:33And this one brings in some more runs.
05:36That is a bullet.
05:38Here is Chris Taylor.
05:39Chris Taylor knocks in a couple more.
05:51And it's 7-1.
05:52Now 8-1.
05:53He clears the bases with a double.
05:56So Freddie Freeman's the sum total of the Braves offense tonight.
05:58Let's see if Atlanta can change that here in the seventh inning.
06:01They will feast their eyes on right-handed pitcher Mitch White.
06:06Here's a 2-2.
06:07Ball strike three.
06:08Fastball at the knees.
06:10First out of the seventh.
06:12So a 1-2 count now to Abraham Almonte.
06:18Good work for Mitchell White.
06:19Sees three batters.
06:20Strikes out two of them.
06:22And the right-hander from Santa Clara gets it done on the bottom of the seventh.
06:26So White's going to hit for himself here.
06:28Why not?
06:29After a good inning.
06:30Let's see how he swings the bat.
06:32And have a seat.
06:33At least for the moment.
06:35Three up.
06:35Three down again for Santana.
06:37Two perfect innings.
06:39So Freeman aboard on the force play.
06:40First and third with one out.
06:42This ball hit high in the air to deep right field.
06:45Betts gave up on it for a moment.
06:47Now back to the wall.
06:48Won't get it.
06:49It's off the fence.
06:50That's going to score one.
06:52Freddie Freeman on his way to third.
06:53They're going to send him around.
06:55Throw to the plate.
06:55Short hops.
06:56And Freeman's in safely.
06:58So the Braves make a good game of it in the eighth inning.
07:01A two-run double from Ozzie Albies.
07:03He's got a two-hit night.
07:07And the Braves inching back closer.
07:09That gives the crowd something to yell about.
07:11It's 8-3.
07:12The Braves need a ton of base runners.
07:14And Riley has a single.
07:15It's up to Eddie Adrianza, who's one for three.
07:19He popped up.
07:24Pollock says he has it.
07:27And the ball drops.
07:28One run is in.
07:30Streaking home is Riley.
07:31He's going to be safe.
07:33Three Dodgers can't catch one ball.
07:36And the Braves get a giant break.
07:38It's 8-5.
07:42The man at third.
07:44Nobody out.
07:45Many, many times.
07:46Albert's cleaned this one up.
07:49And that one to the backstop.
07:51Nobody covered in the plate.
07:52Here comes Mookie.
07:53And he's safe.
07:55Matzik had a late break to the plate.
07:57And Mookie scores standing up.
07:599-5.
08:00These Braves in the ninth inning keep finding ways to make it interesting.
08:03And they're off to a really good start.
08:05Back-to-back walks to Almonte and Enciarte.
08:08Reigning MVP of the National League.
08:11In the left-hand batter's box.
08:13Two balls, two strikes.
08:14Freeman strikes out swinging on a 95-mile-an-hour fast.
08:19There's two out.
08:21Braves are down to their final out.
08:24And the 3-2.
08:26He popped him up.
08:28This should do it.
08:29Bellinger makes the catch.
08:32And the Dodgers start the road trip off with a win.
08:359-5 over the Braves.
