00:13five scoreless Indians it's kind of a right-handed Luis arrives that he's got
00:18a very short swing great barrel control here's the 3-1 and sneaking through to
00:23break that 0 for 6 streak he had going on hit listen 6 at bats why not start the
00:28road trip fresh now comes home and strikes him out with the high fastball
00:32the pitch that was so good form in Miami last week gets him the first out today
00:36he's got back-to-back K's a breaking pitch finishes off Rooker there's that slider
00:41executed in a perfect location when you're throwing it in that spot very
00:45difficult to hit a chase and three consecutive K's for Landon now off and
00:50rolling at Dodger Stadium LA coming to bat when you come back Jeffrey Springs
00:54he's ninth start of the season for the left-hander things are starting to smooth
00:59out just a bit for him this is popped up Kurt still heading to the outfield
01:03Lawrence Butler coming in Luis Sorius right there as well and you see Kurt's
01:06trip over the second baseman but all in all it's the second out we've seen that a
01:10few times this year and all about a swing and miss for Jeffrey Springs clean
01:16first inning he leaves him stranded at second and there's one out for the A's here in
01:20the top of the second sharp grounded is short Betts gets in front of it nifty play
01:24two up and two down in the second oh sharp yeah that ball was hit hard and Mookie
01:28he has looked so smooth over there at shortstop in the last few weeks real
01:33comfortable really settling in there's a change swinging a miss strike three
01:37fourth strikeout for knack in the ballgame through two innings
01:40out of zone so far but this is a guy who has hit for power everywhere he's been he's yet to do that so far in the big leagues
01:47two two and this is in the center field it's going to be a hit for Nick Kurtz going for
01:53second and here comes the throw it's dribbling in and it's dropped Nick Kurtz safe and second lost his
01:59helmet around first he knew he'd have to gun it for his third extra base hit of his
02:04career well it's a good job by Chris Taylor to cut this ball off up in that right
02:08center gap you can see it's a change up that stays up and Kurtz he does a phenomenal job
02:13of staying on it just a slight fumble in the glove trying to get to the baseball
02:16Mookie Betts can't handle the throw it wasn't until the 23rd game of the year that he even got to three balls
02:22that's how aggressive he is he weighs no time Jacob Wilson welcome home
02:28a two-run homer for Jay Willie it's two to nothing A's
02:33oh go to work Jay Willie oh man that has got to feel as good as it can be
02:42nine one and two for the Dodgers down two to nothing hit hard down the line and a full ball for Chris Taylor
02:48headed the second with a leadoff double and so the Dodgers for the third time in as many innings
02:54have a runner in spot position
02:55right and it'll be Lawrence Butler with the catch Chris Taylor heading to third and throw not in time
03:02left it out for Shohei Ohtani here in the third yeah even with topspin ball hit hard enough Lawrence
03:08Butler's got to respect and kind of hold his ground early until that ball gets to him it's in a nice spot
03:12from Mookie Betts has a chance to get the Dodgers on the board here ground ball left side that'll get
03:17the run in takes a funny hop and Betts will reach Dodgers on the board 2-1 game in the third
03:23the A's defense decided to show up it was bound to happen it was coming right get it out of the
03:28way early that's one of the weaknesses so far early part of this year just not a real accomplished
03:33defensive club that's back to the pitcher in spring so he'll go to second Wilson on to first and there's
03:40that ground ball double play that was much needed one run comes across in the third it's a two to one
03:46game A's in control after three well Landon Mack trying to pin down that curve ball right now working
