00:00The Dodgers come off a two and

00:02four road trip and settle in

00:04for this homestand it's good to

00:05be home and really is good to

00:07be home and good to be back in

00:08this weather in front of these

00:09fans I expect them to play well

00:11clean up the defensive base

00:12running I expect some hitting

00:14with Freddie back Yamamoto has

00:15been the best starter for the

00:16Dodgers so far one under and

00:18run against a really good

00:20Phillies lineup last Friday to

00:21drive his ERA down to one six

00:23nine and ready to make his

00:25fourth start to swing and a

00:27miss three consecutive splitters

00:29and that one works if he's

00:31getting that anywhere near the

00:32plate I mean a long evening for

00:33the Cubs we're talking about a

00:35guy with three straight all-star

00:36selections that is about to get

00:38paid this offseason here comes a

00:42fastball and it blazes by him he

00:45had Tucker guessing did not

00:46anticipate a fastball and

00:48perfectly located so not only was

00:50the pitch a surprise but the

00:53location was impeccable on this

00:553-1 Suzuki swinging seven in the

00:58air high to right field routine

00:59fly ball for Teoscar drifts over

01:01bright fluorescent blue and red

01:04cleats as he secures the catch and

01:16Shohei Otani it hard on the ground

01:18sliding stop by Bush scrambles to

01:21his feet steps on first Otani is

01:23out on one pitch and here comes

01:26Freddie Freeman the man of the

01:28night in a couple of ways first

01:30game in almost two weeks for

01:31Freddie just happens to fall on

01:33his bobblehead night and man do

01:35these folks love it on this one

01:41two from Boyd swings and misses

01:44at strike three so Mookie's one

01:46out walk stranded on the bases

01:48after one full at Dodger Stadium

01:50no score for the Dodgers or the

01:51Cubs it's a guy who's no more for

01:53his pop twenty one home runs in

01:55his first season as an everyday

01:57player last year there it is right

01:59there swinging a missed one through

02:01his third K over the first four

02:02hitters that pitch runs away from

02:05that left-handed hitter like I

02:07said the best way to attack it is

02:09to take it on the ninth pitch takes

02:12a fastball that nails the bullseye

02:14for strike three bookending K's for

02:17Yamamoto he struck out for the first

02:19six Cubs he's faced the pitch and a

02:22swing and a miss he made him look

02:24bad struck him out Otani is gone

02:27Boyd gets a third strike out of the

02:30night for the left he started with

02:32that up and in fastball finished

02:34him with a good breaking ball down

02:35below the knees really nice

02:36execution by Boyd first on the task

02:39Hernandez is lifted into shadow

02:41right field another hitter with weak

02:43contact corners out tucker's on he's

02:45got it the leadoff base hit for

02:47Miguel Rojas wasted by the Dodgers

02:49as Otani Betts and Hernandez are

02:52retired in order Yamamoto's nine

02:55up nine down start to this game

02:56it's a splitter and it's a devilish

02:58one strikeout number five for

03:00Yamamoto who's retired the first

03:02ten Cubs hit hard fair ball down

03:05the first baseline it passed the

03:07diving Freeman off the side wall

03:09Hernandez will pick it up

03:11Tucker's into second Kyle Tucker

03:13just keeps on hitting didn't hit it

03:16all that hard but it was well

03:17placed fun to watch these

03:20matchups two extremely talented

03:21guys Yamamoto and Tucker doing

03:23battle here Tucker on an 0 2 pitch

03:25becomes the first Cubs base

03:27runner of the night and of course

03:28it's Kyle Tucker so he's into

03:30scoring position for Suzuki

03:32round ball base hit right field

03:34Tucker to third they quit Barry's

03:36gonna hold him up and now they've

03:39got Suzuki held up been so good on

03:47the bases this year and you just

03:49don't know how many chances you're

03:50gonna get to put an inning

03:51together against a guy like

03:52Yamamoto I just assumed that

03:54Tucker was gonna get the green

03:56light here on his base hit to

03:57right field Barry throws up the

03:59stop sign stay as dead man walk

04:01he's done a lot of good work

04:02hitting the ball the right field

04:03here in the early going two down

04:05a man a third the batters is

04:08Michael Bush got him swinging and a

04:10yell from Yama as he twirls off the

04:12mound stranding Tucker and getting

04:15through a fourth shutout frame

04:18there's a lot of talk during spring

04:19training oh Yamamoto looks good

04:21this guy could contend for shy

04:22young and it's like well that's

04:23good to hear but that you know

04:25typical spring training hyperbole

04:27that you hear thrown around he's

04:29looked every bit apart from the

04:31song contender and I have no idea

04:33what in the world that pitch was

04:3595 moving like that I mean it

04:37said sinker and this is a thing he

04:39Dansby Swanson was 3-0 takes a

04:43fastball just statute it up there

04:45but then he gets a slider on the 3-1

04:47pitch which Yamamoto hasn't been

04:49thrown at all tonight right and then

04:52comes back with a sinker dance we

04:53sink and I was told he didn't have a

04:55slider or a sinker that's only the

04:57seventh sinker that he's thrown all

04:59year it's only the fourth slider that

05:01he's thrown all year so when he does

05:03that this is a six pitch guy Conforto

05:05doesn't have a stolen base in two

05:07years Pahez down on strikes Pahez is

05:13gone and a big out for Matthew Boyd as

05:17he gets the right hand hitting outfielder

05:19here's a 2-0 high fly ball out towards

05:23left center field hat charging in Ian is

05:25there and that is out number three and

05:29Boyd gets Otani from 0-2 to 3-2 and a

05:33strikeout fastball blazes in there his

05:36eighth my accuse it rolling on the

05:39right side Edmund is there as twirls and

05:41fires got him makes even the hard ones

05:44look fundamental here it comes six

05:48scoreless innings for Yamamoto nearly

05:52flawless tonight Yoshinobu Yamamoto heads

05:55back to the dugout after his ninth

05:58strikeout ends a sixth shutout inning

06:01there are certain personalities that

06:03just pop off of the screen when you

06:05come to the ballpark you feel like you

06:07can feel from the seats and I think

06:09that Dodger fans very quickly felt it

06:12felt like they knew Yamamoto just by

06:14watching it that is a base hit for

06:15Teoscar he's now in front of a changeup

06:18hitter right off the end of the bat to

06:20perfection we might add Teoscar aboard for

06:23Freddie Freeman the old one to Freddie

06:26and it hits him on the backside spun

06:30inward and if you're going to get hit

06:33Mo I guess that's as good a place as

06:35any back-to-back Dodgers aboard here in

06:38the bottom of the six first and second

06:40only one out well you're asking for

06:42trouble when you hit a guy in his

06:43bobblehead knife well this is a

06:46situation in a short amount of time

06:48Tommy Edmund has found himself in

06:51the four 1-0 pitch Edmund golf swing to

06:54deep left field hops going back watch it

06:57fly Tommy Edmund

07:01Tommy tanks goes halfway up the pavilion

07:05and we are scoreless no more number six on

07:09the season for Tommy Edmund a three-room

07:11bomb and it's three nothing Dodgers

07:15another two-two coming to Betts gets

07:17there grounds it to short Swanson from

07:20his side not in time wow what an effort by

07:25Dansby Swanson but an infield hit for

07:27Mookie Betts Dodgers looking for

07:30insurance here first and second one out

07:32and Teoscar Hernandez at the plate and

07:35Teoscar waves it strike three would have

07:37been ball four and Teoscar knows it two

07:40gone in the seventh ready swings and

07:42grounds the ball to first base handled by

07:44Bush he'll take it himself proved to be a

07:46good one for Ethan Roberts as he gets

07:47Freddie to ground out strand two more

07:49but the Dodgers continue to lead three

07:51nothing Chris Taylor's into the game to

07:53play left replacing Conforto and Tanner
