00:00Bobby Miller with a look to the sky before taking the mound for the first time in 2025 and this is something talking to him at spring training that he was excited to do. I can't wait to put 24 behind me get back on the mound in a Dodger uniform in L.A. Miller's ready to go and so are we now three to pitch from Bobby Miller to Nick Martini that is why the left center field good at bat for Martini who said that a bunch this year wide turn.
00:30Pius gets the ball back in and it's a lead single for Nick Martini I'll bring up Sean Bouchard former UCLA standout Miller's 2-2 pitch swung on a miss strike three. That's a good pitch because it gets a different dimension right in the very first inning for Bobby Miller. Ryan McMahon got him swinging back to back punch outs for Miller and Miller has found the curveball early here tonight two down for Colorado in the top of the first. Kyle Farmer playing shortstop tonight.
01:00with Tovar not in the lineup. This ball line to right center field and it's going to get down. Now let's see if Martini can get the green light. He does. He is going to score easily on a former double. How about that Kyle Farmer. He just keeps raking. And the Rockies for the first time in seemingly forever have an early lead. See what Hunter Goodman can do. Pitch to Goodman. Ground ball left side. Backhanded in the hole by Mookie Betts.
01:30And that'll be a base hit. Third hit of the inning for Colorado. Farmer advances second to third. So runners at the corners in two outs. For Michael Tolia.
01:39At the knees. Strike three called. Three K's but three hits against Miller. Court start for Hermann this year. His first outing in Philadelphia was a brilliant one. Six shutout innings. Shohei Ohtani leads off for the Dodgers. And Shohei hammers it. Ohtani obliterated.
02:01Ohtani obliterated. 427 feet were tied just like that. 13th leadoff home run of his career. Two balls two strikes on Betts. And Mookie swings and misses at a curveball and strikes out. That is the 997th strikeout for Hermann Marquez. And it's a good one on Mookie Betts. But I like to bounce back. Not letting that leadoff homer by Shohei Affect.
02:30He's a veteran guy. And he's a veteran guy. And you just move on. Freddie Freeman will come up. Freddie Freeman hammers one. This one is deep. This one is gone. And the Dodgers have the lead. Two solo home runs in the bottom of the first. Ohtani and now Freddie Freeman. It's two to one.
02:49Teoscar Hernandez. It's popped up. Shallow center. Out goes Alador. The second baseman. He's still drifting. Backpedaling. Reaches up. Makes the catch. For out number two.
03:00Michael Conforto. Another left-handed batter.
03:02Stopped by Farmer on the backhand. Gets up. Bounces the throw. And Tolua can't dig it out. You mentioned it to start the game. Ezekiel Tovar, the Rocky shortstop, has a hip issue. So he was a late scratch in this game.
03:18How far a farmer just perspective has been playing first base. They moved him to second base. And then now the late scratch playing shortstop way out of position.
03:26And you can see it here. Third hit for the Dodgers. Getting on for Tommy Edmond.
03:34That clip Tommy. Right at the feet. The inning will continue. Muncie who has at least one walk and now three consecutive games.
03:43Payoff pitch is coming. Head start for the runners. Ball four. Muncie will take his base. And they are loaded. Three hits. A walk and a hit batter.
03:53Now to the eighth spot with Andy Pahez. First pitch. Base hit left field. One run is in. Here comes Edmond. No play. Andy Pahez punches it through. It's 4-1.
04:08Now Austin Barnes is the way to take the catcher's gear off. Barnes. Left field. Austin Barnes gets in on the action.
04:16Muncie comes around. Pahez hustling home. A two-run double for Austin Barnes.
04:22Burns. So now back up to the top of the lineup here in the first inning with Shohei Ohtani.
04:29First pitch. Cranked a right. That's in for a knock.
04:34Burns being waved home. The line keeps moving.
04:40Ohtani is two for two.
04:42Have yourself a good start in a ballgame. Shohei Ohtani.
04:46And Bud Black's coming to get Herman Marquez.
04:48Does not get out of the first inning.
04:50He goes just two-thirds of an inning.
04:53His ERA balloons to 8-37.
04:57And could go higher.
04:58Angel Shevelli will come in from the bullpen.
05:00So Betts does get on.
05:02Two out walk.
05:03Puts Ohtani on second.
05:04Two on the bases for Freddie Freeman.
05:06There's a little chopper toward Farmer.
05:08The shortstop.
05:09He charges.
05:09One-hands throws on the first.
05:11And that'll do it for the first inning.
05:13Moniak retired.
05:15Here comes Braxton Fulford.
05:1640th pitch of the night.
05:18There's a third strike to retire the rookie.
05:22Steven, I'm digging the two-seam.
05:23Ariel Amador is switch-hitting second baseman.
05:27Amador, base hit.
05:28Amador had a double in last night's ballgame.
05:31It's the Rockies' fourth hit against Miller.
05:33Top of the order.
05:34And Nick Martini.
05:36Strike three call.
05:37Martini knew it.
05:38There is ball forward delivered.
05:40And Bobby's loaded the bases.
05:41Michael Tolia coming up.
05:43And he hits that to center field and fairly deep.
05:46Paez going back to the warning track.
05:48It's gone!
05:50Michael Tolia picks a great time for his first home run this year.
05:55How about a grand slam?
05:58And the Rockies are right back in this game with one swing by Michael Tolia,
06:04Rockies' first baseman.
06:05And this may be against Mickey Moniak.
06:07Uh-oh.
06:08Boy, this ball's well hit to left field by Moniak.
06:11And this one is gone.
06:13Mickey going oppo.
06:15And the Rockies are within a run.
06:17Second big fly for Moniak.
06:20Back-to-back homers for the Rockies.
06:22They've cut the lead to one.
06:24Seven to six Dodgers in the third inning.
06:27Anthony Bonda comes in out of the Dodger bullpen.
06:29Bobby Miller's night is done.
06:31Two down.
06:32Two-two.
06:33Swing and a miss.
06:34Strike three.
06:35But a one-two-three inning for Anthony Bonda.
06:37And he strikes out McMahon with a slider.
06:39Wild pitch allows Muncy to get down to second base.
06:42It's a two-two count now on Pajas with a man in scoring position.
06:48Second hit of the game for Andy Pajas.
06:52Muncy has the green light.
06:54Andy Pajas has driven in three.
06:56It's now eight to six Dodgers.
06:58So the fifth inning will rest with Otani.
07:00Eight-six Dodgers.
07:01Pajas on first.
07:04A slice out play on the left field side.
07:07And he falls behind one and two.
07:11And he strikes out again.
07:14But the Dodgers push another across thanks to Andy Pajas' third RBI.
07:19So now the time run in scoring position with one out for Kyle Farmer.
07:24Toward the middle of the diamond.
07:26That'll get a run home as Edmund throws out Farmer.
07:31So the Rockies back within a run.
07:33And that's what we're talking about.
07:34We're talking about the importance of getting the ball in play.
07:37So Farmer got it in play on a three-two pitch.
07:40Eight-seven.
07:41Hunter Goodman.
07:42With the time run at third now a McMahon.
07:46Behind the air.
07:47Right center field.
07:48Pajas calling out Hernandez.
07:51And he makes the catch.
07:53For a potential time run stranded.
07:55Colorado does get one.
07:57The Dodgers lead 8-7 as we stretch.
08:00Left-hander Alex Vestia will come on and work for the 11th time this year.
08:04The 11th appearance is a team high.
08:06No wins, no losses.
08:07But he's been good.
08:082.70 ERA.
08:10You'll get Michael Tolio who got the Rockies back in the game with a grand slam.
08:17Strike three called.
08:18He took it down the middle.
08:20Good changeup.
08:21Tolio strikes out for the third time in the ball game.
08:25Dodgers leading by just one.
08:27Five more outs to go.
08:29Kimoniak.
08:30Bouncer to Freeman.
08:32That's in fair ground.
08:33Foot race to the bag.
08:34And Freddie wins it.
08:36Braxton Fulford 0 for 3.
08:38Three punch outs.
08:39And he struck him out.
08:45Dodgers still ahead.
08:478-7.
08:48And Barnes strikes out looking for the second time tonight.
08:51This will bring up Shohei Ohtani.
08:53Ohtani two for four tonight.
08:55And that's a great play at first by Tolio.
08:58Wow.
09:00What a play by Big Mike.
09:02That had a lot of topspin that second hop.
09:05Yeah, it did.
09:05And they came up a good two and a half, three feet off the ground.
09:09The long wingspan.
09:10Big Mike able to corral it.
09:13Top of the ninth inning.
09:14Rockies down a run.
09:15New pitcher.
09:15Closer these days.
09:16The Dodgers.
09:17Tanner Scott has come on.
09:18Stoic on the mound.
09:20Ahead of this 0-2.
09:22That's three.
09:23Fastball at the knees.
09:24Three pitches.
09:25Three strikes.
09:26And an out for Scott in the ninth.
09:28So here's Brenton Doyle.
09:29First action since last Thursday.
09:32Did he?
09:33Yes, he did.
09:35Two gone.
09:36Two outs in the ninth.
09:38That's a sweep for L.A.
09:40Out of the Dodgers' bullpen.
09:42Last two games.
09:44Only one earned run in nine and two-thirds innings.
09:47They have been the strength, especially after a rocky start of Bobby Miller.
09:51The Dodgers consistently scoring early and being able to hold on to those leads because of the bullpen.
