01:34finish to the first inning for
01:36Oku Sasaki in his Dodger Stadium
01:38debut Reese Olsen not as celebrated
01:40as Tarek Skubula Jack Flaherty but
01:42he's got all the pitches to be just
01:45as successful now he faces Ohtani to
01:47start things on there is the pitch you
01:50highlighted leading up to this game
01:52the changeup gets the swing and miss
01:54the most dangerous hitter in the
01:55game Hernandez at 0 for three day
01:56yesterday his lone hit in the series
01:58was a home run this one's deep but
02:00playable for Rodney Green he'll
02:03squeeze it and there are two down
02:04two out for Freddie Freeman he
02:06swings hits a drive deep right
02:08field way up in the pavilion Freddie
02:11Freeman gets a run right back with
02:13his second home run of the season it
02:16is two to one on a Freeman blast to
02:19right field 418 feet for Freddie who's
02:22gone deep in back-to-back games the
02:25Dodger deficit cut in half when
02:27you're thinking over the shortstop's
02:29head but the ball's in and you're
02:30quick enough to turn on it and get
02:32the barrel on it that's not only a
02:35good swing that is unbelievable
02:37ability now Will Smith and it's a
02:41called strike three on the slider
02:43Will Smith didn't like it and the
02:45side is retired his fourth walk his
02:47second this inning that's troublesome
02:50here comes Dave Roberts after 61
02:52pitches and hitting in two thirds
02:54Sasaki getting a visit from his
02:56manager handing in the ball Jack
02:58Dreyer made his first opening day
03:00roster this year Jerry Carpenter
03:03it's left on left and he got it
03:05Dreyer strains to Dodgers within one
03:08Andy Pajas to bat now payoff pitch
03:10coming to Pajas and he swings and
03:12he lines it into center field that's
03:14a base hit second hit for the
03:16Dodgers tonight and a runner aboard
03:18and one out for Michael Conforto he
03:20does the tail thing it'd be a pretty
03:22exciting year off the glove of
03:27Torkelson and first pot is going
03:28first to third stops up for Dino but
03:31Pajas didn't see it it's not going
03:33to matter and he had his head down
03:35the whole way ran right by Dino on
03:37his way to home tying the game at
03:39two because it looked like the relay
03:41was going to be in plenty of time
03:44and for Pajas had his head down and
03:46never saw the stop sign so for
03:49Conforto it'll end up an RBI
03:50double Conforto on second for
03:52Tommy Edvin still only one out
03:55Torkelson will backhand and flip
03:57Therese Olsen and Forto ends up on
04:00third two down here in the second
04:03Miguel Rojas wide of first Torkelson
04:05leads Olsen to the bag perfectly
04:07Rodgers tied up in the Conforto
04:09double Hesperius will take over
04:11and he'll face Jake Rodgers the
04:12catcher it's Rodgers away with
04:14strike three and what will give you
04:16confidence is when you know you
04:18didn't make the best of pitches
04:20but you get this result bottom of
04:22the order with Ryan Kreidler
04:23there's ground ball to the left
04:25side the shortstop Rojas there
04:26gobbles it up sets his feet fires
04:29the first in time to get Kreidler
04:32two down McKinstry slices it to
04:35left right at Conforto
04:37quick inning of work for Ben

05:20again chopped to shore picked by
05:24Torkelson photo advances another
05:27base but now two out Shohei Ohtani
05:30coming to the plate they're not
05:31going to pitch good they will take
05:32the bat out of his hands at the
05:34corners two down in the fifth and
05:36Hernandez the batter and AJ likes
05:38this matchup better and he liked
05:39anything else he had going so he
05:40made the move to walk Ohtani
05:42being waved home to Oscar Hernandez
05:52breaks the tie with a two run
05:54double doing his best Mookie Betts
05:56imitation tail in the two hole
05:58tonight he's been hitting in the
06:00four hole to five hole and you
06:02know what no matter where you put
06:04him there's a possible RBI and
06:06he's got one fair down the line
06:08with two ribeye stakes that punch
06:11it puts the Dodgers ahead by two
06:12and it knocks reese Olsen out of
06:14the game brand Herder 45 terrific
06:18innings of work last year it's a
06:19tough lefty Cole Keith will gather
06:22it up and take care of Freeman two
06:24out two run double for Hernandez and
06:26the Dodgers have the lead Will
06:27Smith facing Grant Herder right
06:30here Will Smith with a drive to
06:33left forget about it a post
06:37birthday bomb from Will his first
06:39of the year the Dodgers push the
06:40lead it's now five to two isn't it
06:44great to get support from your
06:45catcher who cuttered it didn't make
06:47its way inside over the middle of
06:49the plate about thigh high and
06:51Will says I'll hit that one like I
06:53do in BP Garcia worked a one two
06:56three six faces the eight nine one
06:59hitters Rogers Cradler McKinstry in
07:01the seventh fly ball to right is
07:03deep a playable and Garcia Hernandez
07:07did not hang on and Jake Rogers is
07:10going to head over to third it looked
07:12like he'd made a snow cone catch but
07:15when he reached the wall to Oscar
07:17Hernandez couldn't hold on that's
07:20that little jump start that you need
07:21to energize that dugout a little bit
07:24it looked like he was going to catch
07:26up to that he's got it in his glove and
07:29then at right before he hits the wall it
07:31just kind of juggles out and you see the
07:33frustration so one away back to the top
07:35of the lineup for Zach McKinstry so
07:37Rogers off third ground ball will get the
07:40run home and what happened my goodness
07:46Freeman fielded it Garcia didn't cover
07:49first and Freeman didn't even advance
07:52toward the base I felt like he could have
07:54gotten McKinstry if he fielded it in
07:56charge but he was looking for Garcia
07:57here's Riley hold for three today pair
07:59of K's swings and hits it on the ground
08:01a second the second for one that's
08:04two four six three double play Tigers
08:08get one but only one and Edmond batting
08:11left-handed against Kenta Maeda the
08:13former Dodger and Tommy swings and hits
08:15a drive deep right center that ball is
08:18back it is gone a home run Tommy with
08:21another tank his third home run of the
08:24season and the Dodgers lead it six to
08:26three we mentioned in his other at
08:28bats from the left side he's trying to
08:30find a little bit more power like he
08:32has a lot from the right and right here
08:35standing a little taller in the batter's
08:37box frees up the hips and they turn
08:39perfectly as he leverages this ball it's
08:43a four-pitch walk Shohei taking off the
08:46throw to second not in time stolen base
08:49number one for Shohei Otani in 2025 two
08:53outs and here's Freddie Freeman Freeman
08:56swings rips it to right field that's
08:57headed for the corner Otani steps on
08:59third he'll score easily Freeman around
09:02first he jogs into second with a two
09:04out run scoring stand-up double it is
09:07seven to three great teams don't just
09:10win games they make a statement while
09:12they're winning games and that's what the
09:14Dodgers have done now in the first five
09:16games of the championship season Blake
09:18Trinan has the ninth the Dodgers
09:21leading by four Margot Sweeney and
09:23Rodgers the scheduled hitters for
09:25Detroit line drive into right softly
09:28hit but it's a line drive softly hit
09:30line drives tend to fall in for
09:31singles and your Margot starts
09:33the ninth Trey Sweeney left handed
09:35hitting shortstop swings hits the
09:37ball up in the air left center
09:39field very playable Conforto calling
09:42for it his backs off Conforto makes
09:45the catch and there is one away Jake
09:47Rodgers the catcher coming up he
09:49tripled Roger in the seventh trying to
09:52deals him a sweeper down and away
09:53check swing he went first base umpire
09:55Brennan Miller rings up a strike and
09:58Rodgers is out and the Tigers are down
10:01to their last time so coming off the
10:03bench will be Dylan Dingler how sweet
10:07it has been how sweet it is that's a
10:10win for LA they take all three from
10:13the Tigers the finale by a final of
10:16seven to three
