00:00Cubs have a chance to sweep both

00:03games in this series thanks to a

00:05dramatic come from behind win

00:08last night in the series opener

00:10the veteran left hander Matthew

00:11Boyd's got his Cubs career off to

00:13a great start he's made four

00:14starts he's posted a two point

00:16zero one ERA started his season

00:19with 16 consecutive scoreless

00:21innings he's got at least five

00:23plus in all four of his starts

00:25and for a fly ball guy he's done

00:26a real nice job keeping the ball

00:28in the ballpark allowing just

00:29the one home run Boyd against

00:31Ohtani left on left first pitch

00:33swing and sky high to left Ian

00:36Hepp underneath it one away Betts

00:40bounces a ball towards the middle

00:42diving stop Horner throws going to

00:44be late and Betts has an infield

00:46hit we're continuing to bite down

00:49and grind away find his way aboard

00:51even when the swing doesn't feel

00:52perfect short lead by Betts at

00:55first he's not going the ball

00:56bounced to Horner goes to Swanson

00:58there's one over to first call it

01:00to a double play the Dodgers don't

01:03score no runs one hit one pair of

01:07hot pink shoes and nobody left at

01:09the end of a half and for the

01:10Dodgers a bullpen game to begin

01:12with a guy who's been a starter for

01:14most of his baseball life it's Ben

01:15Casparius he'd like to get rid of

01:17the nightmare he had against the

01:19Cubs were in one and two thirds

01:21innings he gave up six Ernie's but

01:22his last two appearances he has been

01:24on a roll four and two thirds only

01:26one earned run the spurious home of

01:28the payoff and it's it on a line to

01:30center field for Andy Pajas on the

01:32first out of the game Kyle Tucker at

01:34the plate check swing he went around

01:37a K for Casparius two outs in the

01:39first inning I think that's exactly

01:41what Casparius needs nothing dainty

01:43about this game today and Dodgers

01:46trying to right the ship Ben

01:47Casparius two up two down there's

01:50Justin Turner the former Dodger a

01:52good start Ben Casparius back to

01:55back punch outs for Ben in a one

01:57two three first inning bottom of the

01:59second will begin with the former

02:01Dodger Michael Bush Bush is jammed in

02:03the air shallow left field Rojas

02:05going back from third pie and

02:06Conforto comes in and it drops and

02:09that looks Bush get to second base

02:12so poor communication and also

02:16dropped into no man's land well

02:17and Conforto had the ball briefly

02:19in the glove and it came down hit

02:21the ground hard it scored a double

02:23for Michael Bush and he got some

02:25help from the Dodger defense so

02:27the leadoff double by Bush is

02:29stranded by Ben Casparius we

02:31finished the second still no score

02:32one away in this third inning in

02:34the first K for Boyd now faces

02:37Barnes Barnes with a base

02:39hit to the field then after he

02:41started this season 0 for 12 he's

02:43gotten a hit in three games in a

02:45row day hot Barnsie smile with

02:48Austin Barnes the time in the last

02:50two games you mentioned earlier he's

02:51now 0 for his last eight Boyd kicks

02:53and fires his 0-2 pitch and Ohtani

02:56pokes it to shallow right field

02:58Tucker coming on it'll drop it's a

03:00blue but it's a hit blue base hit

03:03for Ohtani to load the bases up to

03:05Teoscar Hernandez 25th pitch of the

03:08inning coming up two balls two

03:10strikes two outs bags full line

03:12drive base hit left field right guy

03:16right spot Conforto's in Barnes is in

03:19two to nothing Dodgers Teoscar

03:22Hernandez delivers to get him on

03:24the board first softly set the table

03:26and then rocket to score him he has

03:30just murdered left handers so here is

03:33Noah Davis getting a chance to show

03:35what he's got after last night's

03:36quick stint the Dodgers are looking

03:38for big things from him and here

03:40today he's going to get a second

03:41chance after that tough loss swing

03:43and a line drive base hit to center

03:45good looking hit by Dansby he needed

03:48that one nice sharp clean single to

03:51center and the batter is Nico Horner

03:523-1 Swanson takes off it's ball four

03:55Davis is not being competitive enough

04:00and Mark Pryor quickly out of the

04:02Dodger dugout has to face at least

04:05one more and it's Pete Crow arm

04:06shrug hits it out the left center

04:08field potheads back at the warning

04:11track it's into the basket and gone

04:14Pete Crow arm shrug NBA jam heating

04:18up homers in back to back games

04:21three run shot Cubs lead three to two

04:24firing up the ground he is a special

04:28talent Miguel Rojas leads off the

04:31fifth for the Dodgers trailing for

04:32the first time is into center field

04:34PCA he dives I don't think he caught

04:37it great effort but it's a single

04:39that would have been fun that was

04:41very close Austin Barnes hit the

04:43plate right back to Boyd second high

04:46throw Nico can't hold the bag and

04:48everybody's safe Boyd's baseball

04:50clock was accurate it just his arm was

04:52not he launches it almost into

04:55center field and that is an air on

04:58Boyd the door opened up for the

05:00Dodgers here wrong time to make that

05:02error if you're an opposing pitcher

05:03Mookie should feel pretty good about

05:05this at bat coming up as he lined out

05:07the first this was tough luck right at

05:10somebody throwback first a pickoff

05:12that was pretty baby great job by

05:17Bush calling this pickoff bars

05:19he's getting way off the bat and no

05:23real help from the first base coach

05:24great play and the Cubs get the

05:26second out of the inning that's that's

05:28just good baseball Rojas remains at

05:30second base two away here's the pitch

05:32to Betts that's pulls a line drive

05:34base it down the line and he's tied the

05:37game it's a double for Betts and it's

05:39three three in the fifth and that

05:41pickoff cost the Dodgers a run now

05:43to Oscar Hernandez at the plate

05:45swinging a fly ball left field hit

05:47well back toward the wall it is

05:49gone tail tease off and the Dodgers

05:54jump back in front this game can be

05:56unpredictable sometimes it can be

05:58fairly predictable we talked about

06:00Hernandez and his success against

06:02left handed pitching and that's

06:03been a big part of the story here

06:04tonight first time in Dreyer's young

06:07career that he's walked three in an

06:08Audi first time there's been three

06:10guys that have reached against him

06:12in a game it's Swanson with the bases

06:14loaded Dodgers up 5-3

06:16Brown ball up the middle into

06:18center field for a base set two run

06:22score throw to third not in time

06:24Dan's beat a second and we're tied

06:27great great base running by the Cubs

06:30and now the Dodgers have to play the

06:32infield in with Nico Horner at the

06:35plate and then at second and third

06:36just one away here's the pitch and a

06:38pop fly right field angling

06:40toward the line Hernandez he's under

06:42it makes the catch tagging him coming

06:44home push the throw not in time

06:47push slides in safely Cubs take the

06:50lead six to five over the Dodgers a

06:53sacrifice fly by Nico Horner

06:57big ground ball up the middle it's a

07:00base hit

07:01Dan's beat scores multi-hit game Pete

07:05Crow arm strong RBI single it's seven to

07:08five five Cubs his spot has his fly to

07:11center field both times fly the left

07:13field sends half back he's feeling for

07:16the wall and he's watching it fly and the

07:19promise continues to make up for the

07:21mistakes it's seven six Phillips has not

07:25been wild he has been just very close good

07:28command just not getting strikes and out

07:31of Swanson two hits two runs batted in two

07:34runs scored there go the runners throw

07:36from Barnes down to 30 out of control over

07:40the bag even if he was safe he's going to

07:43be very out in a second and there's a

07:46snapshot of why he's fifty percent for

07:48his career even though he's as fast as

07:50they come boy this all thing changes very

07:53quickly two outs and it's up to Horner

07:56pop fly back of first Edmonds under it

08:01scoreless inning for Evan Phillips so it's

08:04not Ryan Presley it's Porter Hodge looking for

08:10be a good place for Shohei Otani to find his

08:12swing the whole ballpark is buzzing the

08:14pitch swing and a miss strike three three
