00:00The Angels who came into this
00:03series struggling mightily have
00:04taken the first two games for
00:06the Dodgers to turn around it's
00:07got to start on the mound with
00:08Tony Gonsolin this offense is
00:10the best in baseball I figure
00:11they're going to keep it going
00:12for the second time in as many
00:13weeks a tough decision for the
00:15front office and a tough message
00:17for them to deliver Chris Taylor
00:19has been released that was
00:21necessitated because Tommy
00:22Edmond is returning and he's in
00:24the lineup in centerfield today
00:25well the cat man coming it is
00:27Tony Gonsolin on the mound for
00:29the Dodgers yeah he's been real
00:30good since coming back from the
00:31I.L. the long journey back after
00:33Tommy John he has been fantastic
00:36and it has been a necessity with
00:38all the injuries to the Dodgers
00:39rotation we will start things off
00:42today with Jack Neto leading
00:44things off last year Neto was
00:45crushing left handers the best
00:47batting average among any right
00:49handed hitter against lefties in
00:50the American League this year he's
00:51tortured right handers and he
00:53drives this one out to left
00:54center field it's a no doubter and
00:56what a start Zach Neto another
00:59leadoff home run Zach Neto's
01:01fourth leadoff home run this
01:03season and you think you're going
01:05to get a fastball by him you
01:07better place it in a good spot this
01:09one ends up right in the middle of
01:11the plate and the Angels for the
01:13third time in as many games this
01:14weekend strike in the first inning
01:17John Ouell couple hits yesterday
01:18including the double hitting three
01:21three fifty three over his last
01:22nine games I didn't know two hole
01:25here and now there's a visit to the
01:26mound and he's looking at his hand
01:28is what I'm looking at here Thomas
01:29Albert and Mark Pryor coming out to
01:31talk with Tony Gonsolin and he is
01:33five pitches into his outing running
01:35out of depth in a hurry but Gonsolin is
01:38bleeding it's his right thumb he's
01:40back of his pants is just littered with
01:43bloodstains from wiping that thumb
01:45Sasaki Snell glass now Tony Gonsolin
01:50says he wants to stay certainly some
01:53concern as the top of the first
01:55inning continues bounce past him to
01:58a waiting Mookie Betts for the first
02:00down all right so one run one out and
02:03you on Moncada to the plate for the
02:05Angels it's ball for the Moncada now
02:08we have to wonder about Gonsolin's
02:10command here how could he get a firm
02:12grip on the ball if he's got so much
02:14blood and I would guess some pain
02:16coming through that finger so the
02:17batter now will be Taylor Ward words
02:20had three hits in the first two games
02:22of the series including a homer is
02:23club-high 11th now Taylor one with a
02:26fly ball to center field sends
02:27Edmund back it's Edmund back to the
02:29wall and he runs out of the road it's
02:32gone Taylor Ward drives one out to
02:35straightaway center field the ball just
02:37kept carrying and it's another homer
02:39for Ward three nothing Angel Tony
02:41continues to be concerned with that
02:43nail pretty much tending to it between
02:45every single pitch the Angels continue
02:47to pay attention to mistakes being
02:48made by Dodgers pitchers that is six
02:50home runs in the last 12 games for
02:52Taylor Ward so layer who's face
02:54Gonsolin twice and homered twice
02:57swinging a ground ball Mookie shuffles
03:00over to his left from short his throw
03:01is high but Freddie on his tippy toes
03:03and his left glove arm stretched as high
03:06as it could upstairs he retrieves out
03:08number two and a four-pitch walk for
03:10Dono that's the second walk of the
03:12inning from an uncomfortable Tony
03:14Gonsolin as Matthew Lugo will stand
03:17in next swing and a miss for strike
03:19three to finish off this first year
03:21Gonsolin just fortunate to get through
03:23the inning the Angels tagged him
03:25twice left-hander Yusei Kikuchi making
03:28his tenth start of year still looking
03:29for his first win as an angel and
03:32he'll welcome his good friend Shohei
03:35Otani to the play these two went to
03:37the same high school or the same
03:39number in high school as each other
03:41number 16 and lifts a high fly ball
03:44that is playable out in left center
03:46under and making the catch on it is
03:48Kyron Paris who's back in the starting
03:51lineup today fly ball to right field
03:53struck pretty well Lugo's going back
03:55court has room on the track and makes
03:57the catch two outs so Betts gave it a
03:59good ride to the opposite field but out
04:01number two found on the warning track
04:03Smith reaches again 10 times and 15
04:06times up Freddie Freeman steps in who's
04:09really turned things around against
04:11left-handed pitching of late swing and
04:13a miss Kikuchi got him at 97 and that
04:16will end the inning two outs in this
04:18second inning now a chance for some get
04:20back for Gonsolin against Zack Netto
04:23slider induces weak contact and Tony
04:26Gonsolin with a one two three second
04:28neck ball was hit sharply off the bat of
04:31Tommy Edmond but it's out number two
04:33better now is Kike Hernandez Hernandez
04:36that was that changeup that was nasty
04:39good inning for Kikuchi one two three
04:41top of the third and the Angels have
04:42something brewing runners at first and
04:44second two outs now and Travis Darnot who
04:47drew a walk his first time up will be the
04:49next batter three and two with the runners
04:51going and Darnot loops on the left center
04:52field that gets down to base hit a run is
04:55going to score the throw to third and that
04:58is late and that's a nice at bat for
05:01Travis Darnot two out RBI single angels
05:04add on it's for nothing the Dodgers have a
05:06runner in scoring position for the first
05:08time all game and here's Otani who's had a
05:11hit in his two times up one of just two
05:15hits allowed so far in this game by you
05:17say kikuchi deep count a lot of information
05:35from this at bat and one is in the past
05:39that breaking ball turns out to be a base
05:41hit Kike who jumps into nets runs through a
05:44stop sign and scores and all of a sudden now
05:47he's having trouble throwing strikes here in
05:49this inning let's walk the last two in a
05:52row three in the inning and the Dodgers will
05:56have Freddie Freeman stepping up to the
05:58plate it's a fly ball to left field Taylor
06:01Ward is right there and kikuchi escapes a
06:04bases loaded jam it got scary but the
06:07Dodgers score just once so we go to the
06:09bottom of the sixth inning and kikuchi is
06:12back out to start things off here
06:15with a fly ball toward the right field line
06:18moving in is Lugo moving over is Renjifo and it's
06:20Renjifo to make the running catch the angels
06:24dodged a bullet right there and lucky there
06:26wasn't a collision because you had Renjifo
06:29going full speed across the field coming in
06:32was Lugo and Renjifo made the catch and he
06:36also had shot a well kind of sandwiched in
06:39between as well so now Tommy Edmond
06:42with a high bouncer off the front of the plate
06:44shallow hazard quick throw and a tangle on the bag
06:48kikuchi hopefully is okay he and Edmond got tripped up and
06:51Edmond's been real safe i think they got to check that
06:54out too by the way so the angels are going to challenge the
06:57call here
06:59kikuchi twisted his right ankle he did and he might have
07:04gotten to the bag before Edmond yeah Edmond was looking to
07:07avoid him so there's Evers yeah he's going to be out yeah he
07:10should be out it was near 100 pitches anyway but this is a
07:14little sooner than the angels would have taken him out otherwise
07:17after review the calls overturned the runner was out
07:19Los Angeles is able to retain their saddle
07:21Dodgers trailing by three Conforto on first with one out in the seventh
07:26and here's Ohtani who's had a couple of hits and he's driven in their only run
07:30today soft bouncer up to four
07:32shot away turns and feeds Burke safe at first take a look on replay
07:39Ohtani with those long strides flying up the line it's a breaking ball that's high which leads him out of the box
07:46as he chops it so that little bit of boost coming out of the box and that makes Ohtani safe
07:53sean anderson who's only pitched in a couple of major league games this year
07:57an era of 1.93 he inherits two runners behind him
08:01it'll be up to will smith two on two out in the seventh
08:04anderson to smith with a 2-1
08:06and a shot deep to left field ward is back and it's gone
08:11and it is tied a laser to left from will smith
08:17a three-run shot evens the scoreboard at four apiece
08:21will smith gets just enough to get it over the wall for his first home run in nearly a month
08:27and it couldn't have come at a better time back just in time to throw seeds in his face
08:32so no bats here with a run batted in today
08:36and there's a drive out to left from darnell his home run in an angels uniform comes at the right moment
08:43number one for travis darnell and the angels get the lead right back
08:48and travis dar yes first home run as a halo what a moment now fifth career home run here at dodger stadium
08:56but that went way out once again netto and seanowell set the table they each have been on base three
09:02times today yoan moncada comes up switch hitter much better from this side and this is grounded
09:08off of the second baseman they flip the second for one relay to first that's in time but the angels do
09:15get a run those are the first two outs in the inning it'll be up to otani to continue it he is
09:21singles in each of his last three trips to the plate
09:26say good night to the dodgers the angels have turned dodger stadium into their own blue heaven
