00:00The Dodgers and Braves the two teams that folks figure be the best in the
00:05National League this year and so far so good for the Dodgers and have a chance
00:09today to start 6-0 which would match the best start in LA Dodger history.
00:14Atlanta totally other end of the spectrum so far this season with the 0-4
00:18start for a team that a lot of people say is right there as the second best
00:22team in the National League. Jerickson Profar did test positive for a banned
00:26substance. He is out for 80 games as Tyler Glass now takes the ball for his
00:31season debut facing off with the Atlanta Braves at an all-star first half but only
00:37four starts after the all-star break first he dealt with the back issue and
00:40then the elbow soreness and he says the number one goal this year is to stay
00:44healthy and if he does this is a Cy Young candidate. Michael Harris climbing in he
00:49looks to be ready so is Tyler Glass now game one in the series. Swing and a miss
00:55good morning good afternoon and good night using the two pitches that you
00:58featured. Riley had a home run in San Diego all the runs for the Braves came
01:03over the first two days of that series. Oh my goodness fastball explodes in there.
01:09Riley takes strike three. He struck out the first two Harris and Riley now Matt Olsen
01:15first baseman. Chopper to second Tommy Edmond electric first inning for Tyler
01:21Glass now. Off and rolling. For the Braves season debut of Grant Holmes seven starts
01:26last year and CJ he does it against the team that drafted him in the first round
01:30all the way back in 2014. Six hits five walks only three strikeouts for Otani so far this
01:36season. In the dirt and a leadoff walk for Otani. Mookie Betts coming up. It's Saturday off after a Friday night
01:43that he's going to remember for a long time. Then he had the walk off home run in the tent. Another payoff.
01:49And a high fly ball. Deep left field. De La Cruz back with him. It's now one out in the first inning. Teoscar Hernandez in the three hole without Freddie Freeman who's injured tonight. Dave Robert did that. He had a slight mishap over the weekend. Actually slipped in the shower. Tweaking that right ankle. The same one that he had surgically repaired.
02:09Speck's a spot in the air to center. Harris going back. Goodbye.
02:17Career high 33 of them last year. His second this season. Two to nothing L.A. Into the netting below the batter's eye. Teo tees off and gives the Dodgers an early two nothing lead. One two three first inning for Tyler Glass. Now and now Marcelo Zuno to start the second.
02:34Three two up and in. There's a leadoff walk. Ozzie resting the bat on the left shoulder. 3-0 pitch outside. Back-to-back walks.
02:42Now the bat in the hands of the rookie Drake Baldwin.
02:46Puts Goodwood on this. Out to left center field. Pa has his back. Reaches up. Oh my.
02:53Yes. Big enough to hold it and keep Drake Baldwin from his first career home run. Up to third goes Ozuna.
02:59For the Braves. No runs in their last 23 innings. Their last run came in the fifth inning of Friday night's ball game.
03:07That was the Jared Kelnick solo home run.
03:10In the air.
03:11Right side of the infield. This is going to continue their malaise.
03:15Two up.
03:16Still at the corners for Jared Kelnick.
03:18Kelnick hitting 154 to begin the season.
03:22Looks like he's going to get out of this mess.
03:24It will be the shortstop Betts to take it.
03:28The Braves leave him stranded at the corners in the second.
03:32Glass now walked the first two men of the second inning and then retired him in order.
03:35Put up a zero.
03:37Strikes him out with the fastball.
03:39Big pitch right there.
03:40Back to the top.
03:41Michael Harris.
03:44Strikes him out on three pitches again.
03:46He's seen six pitches.
03:48All of them strikes.
03:49Both K's.
03:50Tiger Glass now struck out ten against the Braves last season.
03:55Strikes out the side in the third.
03:58Austin Riley totally baffled.
04:01Four for nine so far this season.
04:03Two home runs.
04:04Four batted in.
04:05Four runs scored.
04:07Goes way out there to get a swinging bunt.
04:10Infield hit for Mookie Betts.
04:13165 pound hit.
04:14He's aboard.
04:15And then Hernandez is up.
04:16Home run hitter from the first inning.
04:18Takes the walk.
04:20Third one issued by Holmes.
04:22Back to back base runners for the Dodgers here in the third.
04:25Some traffic for Michael Conforto.
04:28Smashes this ball to the gap in left center field.
04:31Sailing to the wall and bangs off the wall.
04:34Betts will score.
04:36Teoscar held up at third.
04:37An RBI double for Michael Conforto.
04:40And it's now three to nothing Dodgers.
04:42Freddie approves.
04:44Payoff.
04:45Takes the walk to load him up.
04:47He's looking for the strikeout so bad.
04:49He had first base open.
04:51He expected Will to chase something.
04:53But Will wasn't biting.
04:54They're loaded with only one out.
04:56And now he's got to deal with Tommy Tanks.
05:01Fly to center field.
05:03Harris going back.
05:05Carries all the way to the wall.
05:06Plenty deep enough to score to Oscar Hernandez.
05:09Four to nothing.
05:11Sacrifice fly Tommy Edmonds.
05:13Bottom of the Braves order here.
05:14Baylor Cruz popped out his first time.
05:18Check swing in the dirt.
05:19They say he did go.
05:20So that's another K for Glasnow.
05:22Strikeout number seven for Glasnow.
05:24Still looking for their first hit tonight.
05:27Ground ball.
05:28And there's the first hit of the night for Atlanta.
05:30It's off the bat of Jared Keldick.
05:32He's at first base with one out of the fifth.
05:34First and second.
05:35Still two out.
05:36And Austin Riley the batter.
05:37He's fanned twice.
05:38Glasnow needs just one more strike to get through the fifth.
05:42Great on that again.
05:44And Glasnow pumps his fist as his eighth K of the night gets him through a fifth shutout inning.
05:51Base is clear in the fifth.
05:52Teoscar Hernandez steps in for a third time.
05:56Oh, it leaked over the plate.
05:57He made him pay.
05:58And he's been on all three times.
06:00His second base goes Hernandez.
06:02Will Smith to the plate.
06:03On base now at 11 of his 19 times up.
06:08Base at center field.
06:09Pulled his hands in and ripped 97 into center.
06:13To score Teoscar Hernandez and make it five zip.
06:17A two out RBI single for Will Smith.
06:21The Dodgers leading by a handful.
06:23Tyler Glasnow.
06:24Eight strikeouts in his season debut.
06:27Five scoreless innings.
06:28Only threw 79 pitches.
06:30But going to put an end to this one right here.
06:33And a successful start to his 2025 campaign.
06:36The bullpen goes back to work after the seven and a third scoreless innings on Saturday.
06:40Where they struck out 11.
06:42Didn't walk anybody.
06:44At the knees.
06:45Dreyer gets him looking.
06:47Sets 28 straight innings without a run.
06:49They hand the ball to Jesse Chavez.
06:51On for the first time this season.
06:52He's 41 years old.
06:54He was drafted in the 42nd round.
06:55I'll bet you he plays next year.
06:57Kike Hernandez will be the first batter in the bottom of the sixth.
07:00The Dodgers leading 5-0 in the series opener.
07:03Kike with a laser to left field.
07:05He drops the hammer and then drops the bat.
07:08Solo home run Kike Hernandez.
07:11His second home run of the season.
07:13And it was no cheapie.
07:16412 feet.
07:17Make it 6-0 L.A.
07:18Ohtani has blocked twice.
07:20He's struck out twice.
07:22There goes Ohtani.
07:24Throw from Baldwin.
07:25Not close.
07:26Second storm of base of the year.
07:29After the 59 last year.
07:31Ohtani does advance the third base.
07:32But now two down.
07:34Harris back.
07:36Well struck.
07:37But he will bring it in.
07:38So Ohtani's stranded.
07:39Tanner Scott hasn't pitched in a few days.
07:42They want to get him some action.
07:43So here he comes in the eighth.
07:45The Braves have just two hits.
07:46Both of those came in the fifth inning.
07:48One by Harris.
07:49One by Kelman.
07:50Harris gets into this.
07:52Left center field.
07:54And the Braves break the drought.
07:56Michael Harris with a solo shot to get Atlanta on the board in the eighth.
08:01Braves had not scored since the fifth inning of game two in San Diego.
08:06But that stops right here in the eighth in Los Angeles.
08:08Had not seen Rice selling laces yet this year.
08:11But now he's in the ballgame for the eighth.
08:13Makes some sense.
08:13Got to get him some work for sure.
08:15That brings Shohei Ohtani up to the plate.
08:17He's hitless tonight but a couple of walks.
08:20Got him looking for strike three.
08:22Good old number one.
08:24Just blazed a fastball right over the plate.
08:26And Ohtani goes down looking.
08:28Shadow left.
08:30De La Cruz in.
08:31Got it.
08:32One, two, three.
08:33Clean inning for Rice-Elliglaces.
08:36Luis Garcia to handle the ninth for the Dodgers.
08:39Base hits start the ninth for Aubie's.
08:41Chopper to the right side.
08:42Edmund hustles in.
08:43And he's only going to get one.
08:45And that's at first base.
08:48White's down swinging.
08:49And the Braves are down to their last hour.
08:52Dodgers a strike away from matching the 1981 club for the fastest start.
08:57The best start on L.A. Dodger history.
09:00There's the ball game.
09:03A 6-0 start for the Dodgers.
09:06The Dodgers took control early and never relinquished command.
09:11And the 2025 season for the Braves starts with a five-game losing streak.
09:15They take the series opener from the Braves by a final of 6-1.
