00:00Oh while the skies are a little gray they are not falling but the Dodgers have struggled the last few weeks they have lost 10 of their last 18 games and forces hockey his sixth start of the season still waiting for his first victory. Fantastic his last outing the four prior to that I would just say it's part of the learning curve. We're going to see if he's getting ready to graduate pretty soon. First pitch swinging to center and deep and it gets out of here.
00:30O'Neal Cruz at the first pitch of the game hovers to center. What a greeting for Sasaki launches his eighth home run of the season and his fourth leadoff home run in the last nine games and in a blink it is one nothing pirates. So that sucked all the life and buzz out of the building. If there's a time to give up a home run it's right then it's easy to restart this one more routine and playable for Conforto. 17 year big league veteran Andrew McCutcheon. He lifts this one into shallow
00:59right center field over to get it is to Oscar Hernandez fighting the sun but he makes the catch and there are two down. We've not seen a weak swing yet. Three banners into the game. Flag to center. Potheads waiting for a couple of steps toward left center reaches up makes the catch. O'Neal Cruz instant offense. The home run and then Sasaki gets the next three. And here comes Shohei Ohtani. Get up there from the left side. Now he has two hits off of Keller. He's two for eight in his career against Keller. Both hits home runs.
01:29Ohtani pulls it to the right center field. This one's going to get down in the gap and trickle all the way to the wall. He's on his way to second with a leadoff standup double and the tying run is in scoring position with nobody out. Ohtani tags at second. He's on his way to third. Throw is cut off by the shortstop Isaiah Conner-Palefa. And in safely at third is Shohei Ohtani. So now the tying run 90 feet away with Freddie Freeman coming up.
01:56Now last night the Dodgers with men on base went 0-for-16 and 0-for-6 with runners in scoring position.
02:05And Keller comes back with a strikeout. Freddie Freeman goes down swinging.
02:09It's been 14 consecutive games that Freddie Freeman has not had a base hit with two strikes.
02:14Teoscar Hernandez at the plate. Two down and Ohtani at third. 1-0 Pittsburgh.
02:20Takes it to the opposite field. This ball will get down and tie the game.
02:24And sliding into second with a pop-up slide is Teoscar Hernandez. 1-1.
02:30Brings up Tommy Edmond. Switch hitting infielder.
02:33A bouncer to second.
02:34Coming in is Frazier.
02:35And throws it past first into the dugout.
02:39Wow. 2-1 Dodgers.
02:41I don't know if he didn't have a good grip once he got it out of the glove.
02:44But he just hooks it the wrong way.
02:46Ah.
02:47Lost a bit outside.
02:49And he had plenty of time to just set his feet and throw there.
02:52But he gives the Dodgers the lead.
02:54And an extra base for Edmond.
02:55He gets into scoring position.
02:57Well, no.
02:57As a ground ball to the shortstop.
02:59Kiner-Palefa up with it.
03:00He throws the first for the final out.
03:02Down to an inning full at Dodger Stadium.
03:04It's the Dodgers 2.
03:05Pirates 1.
03:06And that pitch is inside.
03:09Asaki walked 3 against Texas.
03:11His last start in 6 innings.
03:13Gave up a couple of runs.
03:142 hits.
03:15Keep Ryan Hayes.
03:16Hitting .220 with a homer and a dozen ribbies.
03:18And he lines this ball into left field.
03:20And a base hit.
03:21Maybe off the end of the bat.
03:22And that was the first hit given up by that slider all year.
03:26It was 0 for 8 until that at bat.
03:28Well, it's just 1 for 9.
03:29That's how good the slider has been where he starts to throw it more.
03:33And with one out, the Pirates have runners at the corners.
03:36There is Tommy Pham.
03:38Fly ball right field.
03:39Charging is Teoscar.
03:40He makes the catch on the run.
03:42Bart's tagging.
03:43He's coming home.
03:43Play at the plate.
03:44And it got him.
03:46And a terrific throw by Teoscar Hernandez.
03:49It's incredible that he'd even attempted on the shallow fly ball to right.
03:53He was out by a mile.
03:56So, a double play ends it.
03:57And an outfield assist.
03:593-2.
03:59Inside.
04:00Ball four.
04:01The slider.
04:02Missing down by the right shin of Max Muncy.
04:06So, he draws a walk.
04:08And with one out, the Dodgers have a man on for Andy Pajas.
04:12Pajas left center field.
04:13Cruz is not going to get it.
04:15Sales over his head.
04:16One hops off the wall.
04:18Stand-up double Andy Pajas who stays red hot.
04:22Dodgers with runners at second and third and one man out.
04:25Well, now Ohtani with the infield in.
04:28Strike three.
04:28Call.
04:29Catches the inside corner.
04:31That's about as many facial expressions as you're going to see from Shohei.
04:35As far as after a disappointing strikeout.
04:37And Betts, four out of 32 over his last eight games plus tonight.
04:42And he's seen his average dip from 3-0-4 down to 2-41.
04:46And Mookie pops it up.
04:49Connor for left foot.
04:50At short.
04:51Great job by Keller.
04:52Let's strand those runners through two innings.
04:542-1 Dodgers.
04:54Cruz, first time up.
04:56First pitch of the ball game.
04:58He hit it out.
04:58Get Pittsburgh on the board.
05:00Check swing.
05:01Did he go?
05:01Appeal down to 30.
05:02He's rung up by Sean Barber, the third base umpire.
05:05And that's the first strikeout of the night.
05:08And it comes on a splitter.
05:09Ball four.
05:10A little bit low maybe.
05:12A two-out walk.
05:13Second free pass for Sasaki.
05:16And it brings up McCutcheon.
05:17McCutcheon pops it up.
05:18Foul ground right side.
05:20First base side.
05:21It is Freddie Freeman below the coach's box.
05:23He'll make the catch.
05:25And the side is retired.
05:28Sasaki got the call.
05:29Here's the one-two pitch.
05:31Splitter chased a swing and a miss.
05:34And that is the second strikeout of the game.
05:36Both strikeouts coming on the split.
05:38Okay.
05:38Brian Hayes takes strike one.
05:40A one pitch from Sasaki.
05:41Browder to third.
05:42Charging and one-handing is Max Muncy.
05:45Sets his feet.
05:46Throws across and gets him.
05:48And the Pirates go down in order in the top half of the fourth inning.
05:51The Dodgers are leading the Pirates two to one.
05:53Six, seven, eight men in the batting order against the Pirates' righty.
05:56One ball, two strike pitch.
05:58Strike three call.
05:59This time looks like Keller got the call.
06:01Smith says something to Hoy.
06:02Maybe a ball off the plate.
06:04Two outs.
06:05Nobody on.
06:05Here's Muncy again.
06:06One ball, two strike pitch from Keller.
06:09Swing and a miss.
06:10He struck him out.
06:11And a one-two-three-fourth for Keller.
06:13On to the fifth we go.
06:14Two-one Dodgers.
06:16The ball's two strikes.
06:17Sasaki's pitch to Pham.
06:18And a line drive toward the left center field gap.
06:21And that's going to be a short hop off the wall.
06:24Rubella will hold Frazier at third.
06:26And Tommy Pham rips a double that short hops the wall in left center field.
06:31Putting runners at second and third.
06:33Swing and a miss.
06:34Strike three.
06:35Chase to splitter.
06:36Third strikeout for Sasaki.
06:38All of them have come on the split.
06:39Cruz has homered and struck out.
06:42Sasaki this year, when he's had runners in scoring position,
06:44opponents are just one for 18 against him.
06:47Hard hit and through.
06:48A two-run single for O'Neal Cruz.
06:51And so O'Neal Cruz has brought in all three Pirates runs.
06:55Pittsburgh back in front 3-2.
06:57Reynolds at the plate.
06:58Still only one out.
07:00In the air, left center field.
07:01Pajas on his horse.
07:02On the warning track.
07:03At the wall.
07:04Jumps and makes the catch.
07:06Oh, he took one away from Brian Reynolds.
07:09Highway robbery.
07:11Counts still three and two.
07:12Here's the pitch from Keller.
07:14That's a hit down to the right field corner.
07:17Well, Tyne is going to have extra bases for a second time tonight.
07:19Does he want three?
07:21Yes, he does.
07:22Relay.
07:23There will be one.
07:24Triple for Shohei Ohtani.
07:26Second triple of the season for Ohtani.
07:29And the Dodgers in business with one out in the tying run at third.
07:33And Mookie Betts coming up.
07:34He struck him out.
07:35And the sweeper.
07:37Mitch Keller strikes out.
07:38Betts for the second out.
07:40Two men out.
07:41And the pitch to Freddie.
07:42Line drop base hit.
07:44This game's tied again.
07:46Freddie Freeman comes up with a two-out game-tying single as Ohtani scores.
07:50It's now the most pitches he has thrown in a single outing this year.
07:55Swing and a miss.
07:56And he got him with the splitter.
07:57Each strikeout that he's had tonight has come on that same pitch.
08:00Five and two-thirds for Sasaki.
08:02Five hits.
08:03Three runs so far.
08:04He is responsible for Hayes on first base.
08:07He's watching top step.
08:08Hoping Jack Dreyer can strand Hayes and get through the sixth.
08:12Swing and a miss.
08:12And Frazier out on strikes.
08:14He chased the slider down and away.
08:16No runs.
08:17No hits.
08:17One left.
08:18And it allows the three runs to earn on five hits.
08:22One block.
08:23Struck out six.
08:25So things getting curiouser and curiouser for the Dodgers here in the seventh inning
08:30as the Pirates have loaded them up.
08:31And the good part of their batting order is at the plate.
08:34Brian Reynolds stepping to the plate and a base is loaded.
08:36No out situation.
08:38And a ground ball right side.
08:39Freeman has it.
08:40Throw to second for one.
08:41And that's the only out they'll get.
08:43For Brian Reynolds to give the Pirates a 4-3 lead.
08:46New pitcher for the Dodgers is righty Evan Phillips.
08:50Pirates lead it now.
08:51Ninth pitch from Evan Phillips to Andrew McCutcheon.

08:55And Manuel Valdez comes to the plate now with two outs.
08:58On the ground right side.
08:59Stopped by Freddie Freeman.
09:01Phillips covers the bag and steps on it.
09:03Oh what a play by Freddie Freeman.
09:06Freddie Freeman diving to his right.
09:08And from his knees tosses to Phillips covering retiring Valdez.
09:13Pirates get a run.
09:14And Paez lines one to right center.
09:16That's a base hit.
09:17And Andy represents the tying run in the bottom of the seventh.

09:31That's going to catch the gap and go to the wall.
09:33And Paez scores.
09:35An RBI double for Shohei Otani.

09:46Runners at the corners for Freddie Freeman.
09:48Swing a bouncing ball and a fair ball as Triolo steps on the bag and throws to second for an inning ending double play.
09:57What a play.
09:58The Dodgers are stunned.
10:01And Shohei standing on third base.
10:03He didn't even break for home.
10:05Wow.
10:07Didn't even move from third.
10:09That's some bad base running by both Mookie Betts and Shohei.

10:53And Tommy Edmund goes the other way.
