00:01Mackenzie Gore on the mound to make his third start 0 and 1 record 2.45
00:06earned run average. Ohtani stands in. A smash on the ground that's speared by
00:12Garcia but then it pops out of his glove and Ohtani's got an infield hit.
00:16113 off the bat. And the batter Mookie Betts. Betts a chopping ground ball and two
00:22hops to short. DeJong underhands to Garcia for one on to first for a double
00:26play. Tommy Edmond coming up. Swing and a miss on a ball that bounced in front of
00:31the plate. Ruiz applies the tag and Mackenzie Gore has a very quick top of the
00:35first inning. Dustin May first game in almost two years on Tuesday against
00:39Atlanta. Just one hit one earned run over five innings. James Wood is the batter.
00:46Blow it inside for ball four. Here's Alex Colbin. There goes James. The pitch taken for a
00:52strike. The throw by Smith. The feet first slide. The ball not handled by Rojas.
00:560-2 to call. We think bouncing ball down to third. Muncie's got it. And there's the
01:02first out. Here is Luis Garcia. 1-2 from Dustin May. Garcia slaps it in the air to
01:08left field for Chris Taylor. Two out. Now they'll need a two out hit from the former
01:13Dodger catching prospect K. Barrett Ruiz. Now the 3-1 delivery. Low ball four. Here's
01:20Nathaniel Lowe. Two on two out in the first. Pulls one to first. It's stabbed by
01:25Hernandez. And the side is retired. Here's Will Smith. He's up off to a red hot start.
01:30Smith one for three against him career. And I mean he's got guys swinging at pitches they
01:35think are going to get there. But they're not. Two down. Kike Hernandez the batter.
01:41Swing and a miss. Got him on a breaking ball in the dirt. Ruiz will pick it up and he will
01:45apply the tags. Gore with a one two three with a couple of strikeouts. Josh Bell leads off.
01:51There's another lead off walk. Paul DeJong a long ball threat. And a rock
01:57into the left of second. Paul DeJong. The Dodgers are going to play for a bunt here from
02:01Jose Tena. Corners pinched in. He'll try to bunt again. This time lays it down in front
02:06of the plate. Smith the third to get the lead man. Number nine batter is Dylan Cruz.
02:10That ball's hit hard. Under Mookie Betts in the left center. A run will score. There's a play at third and that is not that close.
02:21Tena out at third as Cruz goes into second. And that's on top. Two down for Wood. Swing and a crowd ball bounce toward the middle. It's backhanded. Off the glove. Kick by Rojas. Cruz is going to try to score. Betts picks it up the throw home. And he's going to elude the tag. He's safe. The throw is offline. And what aggressive base running by Dylan Cruz.
02:39Dillon Cruz. Wood goes into second. The Nationals lead two to nothing. Number one two pitch.
02:46Cole sends it in the air to right field. Routine for Teosca Hernandez. Anything but routine. The way this inning went though.
02:53Hitting Max Muncy. Swung on. Line hard to right. On the run is Cole. Diving. Oh he made the catch. Oh another play by Alex Cole in right field.
03:05Unbelievable. Unbelievable. A spectacular headlong diving catch to his left. Here is Chris Taylor.
03:16Muscled up the middle and a base hit for Taylor. First one of the season for Chris Taylor.
03:22Shohei Ohtani one for one.
03:232-0 to Ohtani. Is hit hard to deep right field. Calls going back at the wall. It's tied.
03:30Two outs. Two runs. Ohtani with a shot to lock it at two.
03:39Luis Garcia Jr. leads off the bottom of the third inning.
03:42And a swing and a shot to flex by May. And threw off the glove of the sprawling Mookie Betts out of the center field for a hit.
03:50Here's K. Barrett-Ruiz. There goes Garcia. Pitch outside.
03:53The throw by Will Smith. And the tag could not be made because Betts juggling did not hold on to the ball.
04:00Bounce past the mound. Betts it short.
04:03Palm of his glove.
04:04Over the first.
04:06And now Nathaniel Lowe.
04:08Nobody's catching that one.
04:10And the Nats have reclaimed the lead here.
04:14On Nathaniel Lowe's team leading ninth RBI.
04:18Oscar Hernandez leads off.
04:20Broken bat flare.
04:23Center field.
04:24Base hit to open the inning.
04:26Will Smith and Kike Hernandez coming in.
04:29Swinging good bats.
04:300 for 4.
04:31All case.
04:32That's number 6.
04:32Max Muncy.
04:34Right in there.
04:36Where's Leiter?
04:37Max Muncy could not pull the trigger.
04:38Miguel Rojas will lead off for the Dodgers.
04:41A line drive sharply hit.
04:43Sprawling stop DeJong.
04:44Edge of the outfield grass.
04:45Throws to first.
04:47And in time for the out.
04:48What a play by Paul DeJong.
04:51In his first game at shortstop this season.
04:53He robs Rojas.
04:55And here comes Ohtani.
04:562 for 2 with a home run.
04:59High fly ball to center field.
05:02Cruz to the track.
05:03Cruz at the wall.
05:05Can't get it.
05:06It ricochets towards the infield.
05:08It'll be 3 for Ohtani.
05:11He's a double shy of the cycle here in the 5th inning.
05:14Wookiee Betts a chance to tie the game.
05:16Payoff pitch.
05:17Swing a slow ground ball to third.
05:19Charging antenna.
05:20He clubs on the run.
05:20He throws on the run.
05:21It's on target.
05:22And the inning over it.
05:23One-time Nationals left-hander Anthony Bonda is on.
05:27And the Nationals go to the bench.
05:29And Rosario swings and lines.
05:30Went hard to left.
05:31And it will fall.
05:32A base hit.
05:33One hop in front of Chris Taylor.
05:34Top of the order now in James Wood.
05:36And that's a loud sound out to left center.
05:42See you lighter.
05:45Loud indeed.
05:47And far enough.
05:48The Nats are on top.
05:505-2.
05:52That's so ridiculous on a night like tonight.
05:55I mean.
05:56The kid's special, man.
05:58Left on left.
06:00Slider.
06:01Alex Call is 0 for 3.
06:03Alex Call drills one to the gap in right center.
06:07It keeps twisting away from Tommy Edmond.
06:10And Alex Call is aboard for the first time tonight.
06:13Bonda is done.
06:14And Matt Sauer coming in.
06:16Luis Garcia Jr.
06:17Second baseman.
06:19Up the middle.
06:21And a base hit to center.
06:23Edmond gloves it.
06:24Here comes Call who's got good speed.
06:26Throw to the plate.
06:27It is in there.
06:28He's out.
06:30Tommy Edmond in his first game in center this year.
06:34Guns down a speedy runner in call.
06:37Caber Ruiz the batter.
06:39And the pitch.
06:39Swogon line toward the right field line.
06:41If he gets down his trouble.
06:42It will.
06:43It will roll all the way to the corner.
06:45Extra bases.
06:46Garcia around third.
06:47He scores.
06:48And in the second with another clutch.
06:50RBI hit his Caber Ruiz.
06:53New pitcher in his Lucas Sims.
06:55Conforto pinch hitting to start the eighth.

07:42And the Nats get a break.
07:44It's hit right at Alex Cole.
07:46Mookie Betts will tag and go to third.
07:48And for the moment, that's just fine.
07:50Up to Will Smith.
07:53Off the end of the bat.
07:54Into center and down.
07:57Blue base hit for Will Smith.
07:58Hit the bring-home Betts.

08:10Kyle Finnegan is going to stay in the game.
08:12Max Muncy will lead things off.
08:15Driven to left center field.
08:17Young in the run.

08:21And Max Muncy starts the ninth inning with a double.
08:25Just like that, they get the tying run to the plate.
08:29Fiducia will pinch hit.
