00:01It hasn't been all that long since we last saw the Dodgers.
00:04They were just in Arizona a little over a week ago.
00:07But now we get three games in Los Angeles where the Dodgers are 17-7 this season.
00:13One of the better home field advantages in the game.
00:16However, they just got swept by the Angels over rivalry weekend.
00:20So if they lose again tonight, it would be their longest losing streak of the season so far.
00:2526-year-old Jack Dreyer out of Johnston, Iowa.
00:28Very specific role today to open this game.
00:31And this you touched on during the pregame show.
00:33Feels like a big first inning because the Dodgers have found themselves behind
00:37four consecutive games giving up runs in the first.
00:40Cattell 273 and six homers.
00:43He had four hits and scored four runs in the series over the Rockies this weekend.
00:48And this one is going to drop in for a base hit as well to get it started.
00:52The leadoff man aboard.
00:53Corbin Carroll up.
00:54Bottom of the zone.
00:55Strike three.
00:56And Dreyer carves up Carroll for the first out of the ball game.
00:59Yeah.
01:00Now he's aboard himself.
01:01Two on for the Diamondbacks in this first inning.
01:04But now it's Eugenio Suarez.
01:06Skied high in the air to center.
01:08And Kamen.
01:09Oh!
01:10Dropped in there to Oscar Hernandez.
01:11Can't get it.
01:12Marte being waved home.
01:14Gurriel into third.
01:15And the Diamondbacks catch a break.
01:17They strike first.
01:18Diamondbacks do to the Dodgers what the Angels did.
01:21And that is strike in the first inning.
01:23This is now five straight games the Dodgers have found themselves in a hole.
01:27Pivotal point in the ball game comes before the ninth inning.
01:30This is a big at bat right here.
01:32This will get one run home.
01:34Edmund has it.
01:35And they get the out on Naylor.
01:37Suarez into third.
01:38Gurriel home and it's 2-0.
01:40Brandon fought.
01:41Took care of business against L.A. just 11 days ago.
01:44He tossed six in the third innings.
01:46He's got a chance today to become baseball's first pitcher to seven wins.
01:50And Otani is on another planet right now.
01:52He's hitting .381 in his last 15 games with nine home runs and 20 runs driven in.
01:58Rolls it to second for Cattell.
02:00And that's a big out that Brandon will take.
02:03Chopped too short.
02:04Perdomo gobbles it up and throws across in time to get Mookie to gone.
02:09Well this seems pretty simple but don't let Freddie Freeman beat you.
02:13There's a lot of stars in this Dodger lineup.
02:15But Freddie Freeman has just beat up on the Diamondbacks.
02:18Freeman jumps on the first one and drives it deep to center.
02:21Towers got it on the warning track.
02:23So it's a 1-2-3 bottom of the first work by Brandon Fott.
02:27Dodgers in an early hole here.
02:29To the top of the second we go.
02:31Tim Tower to lead off.
02:32Jack Dreyer stays in.
02:34Breaking pitch right there.
02:35Bounce to Muncie.
02:36Charges and throws low and wide.
02:39And Towers on to start the second.
02:41Hex charged it well.
02:42Got it in his glove but couldn't get it out of his glove.
02:44And I'll bet you the grip he ended up throwing with is not a natural grip.
02:48Scored the third hit of the game for Arizona.
02:51Two of those have asterisks.
02:52And then Jack Dreyer airmills one all the way to the backstop.
02:55And Towers already on second.
02:57Bad baseball from the Dodgers here on a Monday night.
03:01This is what's considered bad presentation.
03:03Losing the ball in center field.
03:05The error at third base.
03:06And now the wild pitch.
03:08As Towers tags and goes from second to third.
03:10So you have a runner on third base and only one out in the second.
03:13Perdomo lifts it to left field.
03:15Conforto backing up all the way to the track.
03:17Here comes Towers.
03:18Another RBI for Perdomo and a 3-0 Diamondback lead.
03:22Back at Dodger Stadium.
03:23And my Sharona.
03:24Look who's out there on the mound.
03:26It's Landon Knack.
03:2727-year-old right-hander who was supposed to be the starter here tonight.
03:30Instead, he comes in after the opener, Dreyer.
03:33From 3-0 to 3-2.
03:35Back home to Carroll.
03:36And he walked him.
03:37So we've talked first inning problems.
03:39We've talked first pitch problems.
03:41He has first hitter problems.
03:4422 innings.
03:45The leadoff man has reached 10 times.
03:48Lourdes walked and scored in that two run first.
03:51Something hot must be cooking.
03:52There he goes.
03:53He got a big jump.
03:54Lourdes hits a high fly ball.
03:56Deep to left field.
03:57And this one is gone.
03:59The home run ball bites Landon Knack again.
04:02Following a walk to Carroll.
04:05He gives up a two run blast to Lourdes Gurriel.
04:08And the Boo Birds are out at Dodger Stadium.
04:10Arizona 5.
04:11The Dodgers nothing.
04:13Josh Naylor to the plate.
04:14Fights that one off and dunks it into left.
04:17Another base hit for the Diamondbacks.
04:19And as always, I take that as a great sign.
04:21Going to the opposite field.
04:23Josh Naylor can get a little pull crazy from time to time
04:26because he's counted on to provide some power.
04:28But if you get a pitch, you can't pull out of the ballpark.
04:31Smack it the other way like Josh does right there.
04:34One on one out.
04:35Here's Gabriel Moreno.
04:36Oh, wow.
04:37Gabriel Moreno.
04:38Say goodbye way out of here.
04:43And the Diamondbacks are pouring it on in Los Angeles.
04:46It's 7 to nothing.
04:48It's very interesting with Fott where he'll have some starts
04:51where he can really rack up the strikeouts.
04:53And then other days he just goes by and he relies on a lot of soft contact.
04:56And Fott has retired the first eight Dodgers he has faced.
05:01Swung on and a soft one hopper up the middle.
05:04Collected by Perdomo.
05:05Throw to first in time.
05:06Got him by a step.
05:08Nine up and nine down for Brandon Fott.
05:11First time through the lineup with a 7-0 lead.
05:14Has Ohtani.
05:15Grounded out to lead off the game.
05:17Leads off the L.A.
05:18Four.
05:19Center field wants more.
05:20Tim Towers there.
05:21And Ohtani is 0 for 2.
05:23Now Mookie Betts.
05:24He grounded out the shortstop.
05:25So he's 0 for 1 as well.
05:27The Dodgers have yet to put a runner on against Brandon Fott.
05:31That's where teams have attacked away away away knowing that he wants to pull.
05:36As a pitcher when Mookie Swing is not right and other right handed hitters like Mookie.
05:42You almost feel like you can knock the bat out of their hands away.
05:45But when he is right he can elevate that ball to left field.
05:49Wow that is an absolute shot.
05:52Betts pulls this one with authority into the bullpen to get the Dodgers on the board.
05:58It's 7-1 on Betts' seventh of the year.
06:01Fought in the home run ball.
06:02Can occasionally not mesh.
06:05Payoff pitch.
06:06Runs inside.
06:07Ball four.
06:08Two out walk for Will Smith.
06:09So here comes the mound visit.
06:11And here is Hernandez.
06:12This is the kind of guy, if you're not careful to, he can get the Dodgers right back in this game
06:16with a two run blast.
06:18So Teoscar Hernandez will dig in.
06:20He's 0 for 1.
06:21He flew out to center field.
06:22Swung on and hit.
06:23Out to deep right field.
06:25Carroll sprinting back.
06:26Adjusts.
06:27Makes the catch.
06:29And the inning comes to a close.
06:31And after four innings of play, it's the Diamondbacks seven.
06:35And the Dodgers won.
06:37Brandon fought.
06:38Five innings of one hit.
06:39One run ball against the Dodgers.
06:41Keeps the bases empty in front of Shohei Ohtani.
06:43Like to see the game lean in this direction.
06:46Not that you want zero strikeouts.
06:48But more bat to ball.
06:50Ohtani hammers the ball the other way.
06:52Forget about it.
06:5317 for 17.
06:577-2 on two solo shots.
07:01The hundred and first swing of this game.
07:04And it is not a miss.
07:06Oh, the Dodger MVPs.
07:08A couple of big swings over the last three innings.
07:11He's the one who got it started.
07:13A solo shot into the Dodger bullpen.
07:15Back in the fourth.
07:16Mookie hammers another ball.
07:18Left field and deep.
07:19He's done it again.
07:21Ohtani and Betts go back to back in the sixth.
07:25It's a 7-3 ball game.
07:27Eighth of the season for Betts.
07:30Second of the night.
07:31Dodgers not going quietly.
07:33Probably right on top of each other in the exact same spot.
07:36Just hanging breaking balls over the middle of the play.
07:39And a guy like Betts isn't going to miss those.
07:41They even finally made him pay.
07:43That's his second hit of the night.
07:45Brings up Perdomo.
07:46One on and one out.
07:477-3 Diamondbacks in the eighth.
07:49And then it is lightning quick.
07:51Perdomo hits a fly ball deep to center.
07:53This has got some carry too.
07:55And it's another Diamondback home run.
07:57They lead it 9-3.
07:59The sixth for Perdomo.
08:01And they've blown it open in Los Angeles.
08:04Boy that was huge.
08:05Just to let the Dodgers know that your offense is still in the ball game.
08:09Here's Betts.
08:10Two out.
08:11Nobody on.
08:12There's another drive.
08:14Left center field.
08:15Back goes Gurriel.
08:16He's got one.
08:17Buki just missed his third home run of the game.
08:21Josh Naylor has a single run scored in an RBI.
08:25One for four.
08:26Oh boy.
08:27High fly ball.
08:28Right field.
08:29Teoscar on the warning track.
08:30At the wall.
08:31He jumps.
08:32And did he.
08:33Teo takes one away.
08:36And Josh Naylor is saying, are you kidding me?
08:40Rounding first.
08:42Home run robbery from Teoscar Hernandez and his return to the field.
08:47Here in the ninth against Ryan Thompson.
08:49His 19th appearance of the year.
08:51But coming off his first loss of the season in that bullpen blow up Saturday against Colorado.
08:56Dodgers have Freddie Freeman at the plate.
08:59He's got that first base hit.
09:01Headed for the corner.
09:02Carroll hustles over to cut it off.
09:04Scorts away from him.
09:06And a leadoff double for Freddie Freeman.
09:08Now Will Smith on or on second.
09:11Nobody out.
09:129-3 the Dodgers trail.
09:14Smith bounces one right side.
09:16Going to be a race to the bag.
09:17It is one by Smith.
09:19And the first two have reached him in the ninth.
09:21The Dodgers get the first two on against him in the bottom of the ninth.
09:25First and third no out for Teoscar Hernandez.
09:28Teoscar chops it down the third base line.
09:30It's a fair ball.
09:31Suarez fields on the back end.
09:32Goes a second for one.
09:33Freeman scores on the play.
09:35Smith is out.
09:36An RBI fielder's choice for Teoscar Hernandez.
09:39It's 9-4.
09:40Base streak extended to 11 games for Conforto.
09:44Going to get Tommy Edmund one more chance to get his first hit.
09:47Edmund with a base hit to right field.
09:50Teoscar Hernandez will come in to score.
09:53Tommy Edmund with his first at bat since coming off of the injured list.
09:57And they're just not going to roll over are they?
10:00He's going to have to go to Shelby Miller to get that final out.
10:03So what was hopefully going to be a get-well-quick scheme for Ryan Thompson has backfired.
10:09Dodgers have runners at first and second.
10:11They have Hesong Kim at the plate.
10:13And as a result, no more messing around.
10:15Tori LaBella going to bring in Shelby Miller.
10:17And a 9-5 game.
10:18But Ohtani looming on deck.
10:20And if he gets up, he'll be up there as the tying run.
10:23Two in the bank, two on.
10:25Kim.
10:26Swings.
10:27Hits a soft grounder to second.
10:28Patel has it.
10:29Throws to first.
10:30It's in time.
10:31The ball game is over.
10:32And the Diamondbacks win it by a final of 9-5.
10:36Closer than they would have liked.
10:38But a win is a win.
10:39And in L.A. it feels almost twice as good.
10:42It feels good.
10:43It feels good.
