00:01Today we've got the 2024 NL Cy Young winner with Chris Sale.

00:05Dustin May, his first start in almost two years.

00:08There's so many things that he can do and enjoy tonight,

00:11but I know ultimately he wants to do well and he wants to win.

00:15Dustin May, the 27-year-old from Justin, Texas,

00:19has waited a long time for this day.

00:22Taken a big league mound for the first time since May of 2023.

00:27Michael did have the homer to left center yesterday in the eighth inning.

00:31Strikes him out.

00:32Welcome back, Dustin May.

00:34And boy, the emotions that he's feeling are just popping off of the screen

00:39with every move that he makes.

00:41Now Austin Riley.

00:42Swing and a miss.

00:43He got a chase on that breaker.

00:45And he struck out the first two breaks.

00:47See how big the breaking ball is.

00:49He's threatening to strike out the side.

00:51Back to a strike three.

00:53Fresh start, fast start.

00:56Dustin May in his first inning in two years.

00:59Strikes out the side.

01:01And making his second start of the season,

01:04the lefty side young winner, Chris Sale.

01:07And we always look forward to these with Chris Sale.

01:09Here come the Dodgers with Otani Betts and Tommy Edmund at the top.

01:12Ground ball to Ozzie.

01:15Takes care of business.

01:16Two pitches, one out.

01:18Mookie was one for five with a run scored in last night's opener.

01:21And Sale gets his former teammate, Mookie Betts.

01:24Swing and a miss, strike three.

01:26You see a little movement downward at the end.

01:29That's a nice finishing pitch for Chris Sale.

01:31Two up and two down for Sale.

01:32Another lefty killer, Tommy Edmund.

01:34That one's not going to get near the fence.

01:36It will drop into the mitt of De La Cruz.

01:39Both pitchers, perfect first innings.

01:41All right, Marcelo Zuna against Dustin May after May struck out the side in the first.

01:46And Marcelo Zuna has his number again here.

01:49Hernandez cuts it off and keeps Ozuna to a single.

01:54Ozzie Albies to the plate.

01:56Ozzie swinging it from the left side.

01:58Strikes out Albies.

01:59His fourth.

02:00The first four outs all be in the strikeout for May.

02:03Drake hitting 067 to begin his major league career.

02:07Right here he's going to take his base.

02:09Ozuna will head to second.

02:10Two on, one out.

02:11Now a second consecutive start for Brian De La Cruz.

02:16De La Cruz right back at him.

02:19Bobbled by Betts.

02:20Oh!

02:21And it gets away.

02:23Ozuna's going to score.

02:26And Atlanta grabs a lead in a very strange way here in the second inning.

02:31You see how far away his hand is from his glove.

02:33And right there, bobbling around and tried to throw it.

02:36And I'm not sure what happened on that grip.

02:38But the Braves will take it.

02:39Looking for another run.

02:40Kelnick.

02:41Grounds on to second for Tommy Edmund.

02:44And that'll do it for the Braves in the second.

02:47But they get on the board and the two out air.

02:49Sun has set.

02:50Temperature dipping down into the 50s as Hernandez climbs in.

02:53He can sail.

02:54He comes back.

02:55Grounds this one in the hole.

02:57It's short.

02:58And he's got an infield hit on that bruised foot.

03:00Wills off to a great start.

03:01Hitting 467 with an on-base run above 500.

03:05He got hit.

03:06First to have reached.

03:08That's Kike music.

03:10Hernandez is homered in back-to-back game.

03:12Back-to-back game.

03:13Back to the slider.

03:14Good location.

03:15And Hernandez down on strikes.

03:17Here's Miguel Rojas.

03:19In the air.

03:20Out behind second base.

03:23In comes Michael Harris.

03:25Two outs.

03:26With two gone in the second.

03:27And it's up to Andy Paz.

03:29Crowder to Nick Allen.

03:31Across the diamond.

03:32Side retired.

03:33Braves maintain their one to nothing lead.

03:35One out for sale.

03:36Back to the top and Ohtani.

03:38Another payoff pitch.

03:40Ground ball but on one bounce off the mound.

03:43Right to Nick Allen.

03:44Ohtani is 0 for 2.

03:46No bats would love to contribute at the plate.

03:48His throwing error has led to the game's only run.

03:51Here's the pitch.

03:52And that hit Mookie on the ribs.

03:56I didn't worry about the ball hitting Mookie.

03:59I worried about the way he landed.

04:01And that's the board.

04:02Two gone.

04:03And Tommy Edmond at the plate.

04:05Here's the 1-2 pitch on the way from sale.

04:07Betts on the move.

04:08Pitch swung on and popped up.

04:09Foul ground down the right field line.

04:11Under it now is Olsen.

04:13And he reaches up and makes a great catch.

04:15Nice play.

04:16That was drifting on him back over his head.

04:18Matt Olsen leading it off versus Dustin May.

04:21Olsen 0 for 1 with a strikeout.

04:23Pinpoint.

04:24Strike three.

04:25Second time that he's gotten Olsen looking.

04:27Last three games.

04:28Braves have gone 1 for 29 with runners in scoring position.

04:31Skied to left center field.

04:33Taylor is there.

04:34Make it 1 for 31.

04:36Dustin May gets out of it.

04:38Will Smith got aboard the painful way.

04:41After Tao's single he's hit by a pitch.

04:431-2.

04:44Got him looking.

04:45Strike three.

04:46Beautiful slider that locked up Will Smith.

04:48That one is in the left hand batter's box for a while.

04:51And then finally makes its way back to the edge of the plate.

04:54Looking for his first 1-2-3 innings since the first.

04:572-2.

04:58Fly ball to right.

04:59Jared Kelnick barely having to move.

05:01Steps in a few steps.

05:02Makes the catch.

05:03And down they go in order in the bottom of the fourth inning.

05:06Good at bat for De La Cruz.

05:08And the third walk issued by May.

05:11Jared Kelnick grounded to second his first time.

05:14Swing and a miss.

05:16He struck him out with the high fastball.

05:18High cheese to the Wisconsin native.

05:21One away.

05:22Here's Nick Allen.

05:23To short.

05:24Betts to second one.

05:26Edmond to first.

05:27And May completes five.

05:29Very good chance that was going to be his last hitter.

05:33And the twin killing helps him finish off five innings

05:36and his return to the big leagues.

05:39Chris Sale has struck out three.

05:41He's hit two batters.

05:42Hasn't walked anyone.

05:43And he leads one zip.

05:46Swing and a miss.

05:47Slider gets Miguel Rojas.

05:49Four K's for Chris Sale.

05:51Chris Taylor was 0 for 1.

05:53He popped out to first on the very first pitch he saw in the third inning.

05:56Weak swing.

05:57Down he goes.

05:58Five K's for Sale.

06:00And also seven in a row set down for the south ball.

06:04Anthony Banda.

06:05First man out of the Dodger bullpen.

06:07Austin Riley.

06:080 for 2 today.

06:090 for 6 with four K's in this series.

06:12Struck him out.

06:13Sliders been the biggest reason why he's gotten off to the start that he has.

06:18Two frustrating at bats so far for Matt Olsen.

06:21Both strikeouts looking against Dustin May.

06:24In the air.

06:25Out to right center field.

06:26Well struck.

06:27And off the wall.

06:29Matt Olsen just missed a solo homer.

06:32He'll have to settle for a two out double.

06:35Good looking swing here from Matt Olsen.

06:38Up enough for Matty to get to it and just miss a homerun.

06:41Marcel Ozuna has a hit tonight.

06:43There's the fastball but it's outside.

06:45He draws another walk.

06:47That's his tenth already.

06:48Ozzie Albies as a switch hitter.

06:50Has been one of the best the game has ever seen when it comes to facing left handed pitching.

06:55Soft bouncing ball to Mookie Beth.

06:57Shovels it on to second and ends the inning.

06:59Yeah the right guy coming up right here.

07:01Shohei Ohtani.

07:02Top of the order for the Dodgers.

07:04Down one nothing.

07:05Sales 0-2.

07:07Yanks a base hit into right field.

07:11Lead off man aboard.

07:12Tying run aboard here in the sixth.

07:14Mookie Betts steps to the plate.

07:16He's 0 for 1.

07:17Hit by a pitch.

07:18Tying run aboard here in the bottom of the sixth inning.

07:20High fly ball.

07:21Deep left field.

07:22De La Cruz sprinting back.

07:24It's gone.

07:25Mookie Betts gives the double.

07:28Mookie Betts gives the Dodgers the lead.

07:30He got that down and in breaking ball.

07:33Launched it over the wall for his third go ahead home run to this homestand.

07:37Ties him with Tommy Edmond for the team lead in home runs.

07:41Edmond's up there right now.

07:43With a bullet in the center field.

07:45And a base hit of his own.

07:46One hit over five innings and then three consecutive hits to start the sixth.

07:51And Brian Stinker is going to take him out of the ball game here after 87 pitches.

07:56And here comes Pierce Johnson.

07:57On for the second time this season.

07:59He threw a nice clean shutout ending against the San Diego Padres in game two of that four game series.

08:04On to face Tansker Hernandez.

08:06Edmond runs.

08:07Throw from Baldwin.

08:08Goes into center field.

08:10Here comes Tommy Tanks into third.

08:13And the Dodgers are in business with the lead and the chance to get an insurance run very quickly.

08:192-2.

08:20Got it.

08:21Curve ball takes care of Hernandez for the first out.

08:24Here's Will Smith.

08:25Infield stays in for Atlanta.

08:27Edmond on third with one out.

08:28It is a fastball.

08:29And it's smacked through the right side.

08:31A base hit and insurance.

08:32Knocked in by Will Smith.

08:35Red hot to begin 25.

08:37Does a nice job hitting it the opposite way.

08:41Now the Dodgers up a pair as we march to the seventh.

08:44And Drake Baldwin will lead it off for Atlanta.

08:46Here's the pitch.

08:47Baldwin swings and he lifts it high in the air.

08:50Right field side.

08:51It is hooking foul.

08:52Teoscar is there.

08:54And he reaches over.

08:55Makes the catch.

08:57As he falls over the wall.

08:59He kept the ball in his glove.

09:01That hung in the air for eternity.

09:04And Teoscar waited patiently along the wall to make the catch.

09:09Teo was all smiles after making that catch.

09:12Base is empty.

09:13Now two outs in the ninth.

09:143-1 Dodgers.

09:18Ground ball.

09:19Hernandez again takes it himself again.
