00:00It is a huge weekend in downtown St. Louis as the car
00:05the Cardinals try and take down
00:07baseball's Goliath with the Los
00:09Angeles Dodgers. It's also
00:10an important night as all the major
00:12sports teams from St. Louis get
00:14together for tourney
00:15tornado relief. We are technically in a
00:17rain delay as you see the tarp is on
00:19the field.
00:2071 degrees after the rains have stopped.
00:23It is still very muggy.
00:25And humid. Hopefully Mother Nature will
00:27cooperate the rest of the weekend.
00:29So maybe Sonny Gray.
00:30Who's on a heater his own is catching
00:31them at the right time tonight.
00:33And his last three starts he's been
00:34amazing.
00:352-0 the record the minuscule 1-4-2 ERA
00:38and he is striking.
00:40A lot of batters.
00:41But there is no care.
00:42I don't care how good your offense is
00:44for an ace.
00:45And that's what Sonny Gray is going to
00:46be tonight.
00:47L.A.'s got three MVPs coming to bat in
00:48the very first inning.
00:50That's great.
00:51There's a lot of first pitch
00:52strikes.
00:53They'll hail Tony it's a lot of
00:54first pitch home runs.
00:55And a bullet hits a second off the
00:57chest of Donovan by plenty of time.
00:59And there.
01:00He is out number one.
01:01Always good to keep the ball on the
01:03ground against these Dodgers.
01:05No one out.
01:06And here's Rookie Betts.
01:07This ball is wall up to left field.
01:09That's going to get down to get all
01:10the way to the wall.
01:11So Mookie Betts scrolls into second
01:14with a stand up double.
01:15And this guy loves hitting in St.
01:17Louis.
01:18This is the ballpark and staff did
01:19whatever.
01:20He's in Freddie Freeman has hitting
01:22392 career in this park.
01:24A ball to two.
01:25The ball strikes for the Dodgers
01:27first baseman.
01:28And a swing and a miss.
01:30Tony Gray up to the challenge so
01:32far.
01:33Runner at second.
01:34Two outs.
01:35Went back door.
01:35with the sweeper.
01:36This thing stayed up in the zone.
01:37I'm not sure it went exactly where
01:38he wanted to.
01:39Didn't matter.
01:40Got the swing and miss and the
01:41former MVP.
01:42The Dodgers failed to score and
01:43the Cardinals are coming up at
01:44Bush Day.
01:45Another look at Justin Robleski.
01:47It has not been a smooth start to his
01:50major league career.
01:51He did pick up his very first major
01:53league win in this ballpark a year
01:54ago.
01:55The ground ball to the right side.
01:56This one's fair and playable for
01:57Freddie.
01:58Robleski steps on.
02:00In the bag.
02:01And is there just in time to beat
02:03Newport for out number one.
02:04Three two.
02:05He's up high.
02:06Ball four to Donovan.
02:07Two out walk issued by Robleski.
02:08Wilson Contreras on a six.
02:10Game hitting streak.
02:11Pitch swung on popped up shallow
02:12center.
02:13Edmund going out a little.
02:15Looking at it by his comes in.
02:16He looks up into the night sky
02:17makes the catch.
02:18And the side return.
02:20He's tired.
02:21No runs.
02:22No hits.
02:23One out base is empty.
02:24Andy by his is up one to this.
02:25That's what it is.
02:26How about that.
02:27Andy pot has just pokes it the
02:28other way.
02:29A two strike knock with one out
02:30of the second.
02:31It's on in front of Michael
02:32Conforto.
02:33Went off a game winning knock on
02:35Thursday.

02:46Tommy Edmund.
02:50coming to the plate and he is
02:52tipping his helmet getting a
02:53standing ovation.
02:55from the Cardinals crowd.
02:57Tommy does not show a lot of
02:59emotion but.
03:00I know there's a lot of emotion
03:01in him right now.
03:02The Cardinal fans love.
03:05and respect one of their Tommy
03:07Edmund Ward this Cardinal

03:35Two left on by the Dodgers.
03:37We go to the bottom of the
03:38second.
03:39No score.
03:40That'll bring up the Cardinals
03:41catcher Pedro Paez.
03:43And a great defensive month.
03:45from May.
03:46That all catches with ADRS driven
03:47toward left.
03:48That's deep.
03:49He's going to lead the Cardinals.

04:05Bad flip.
04:06The celebration.
04:07And an early lead.
04:09Which is.
04:10incredibly important.
04:11Against this.
04:12Doctors club.
04:13Now Shohei Ohtani.
04:14Great son.
04:15for the second time.
04:16That's a rocket in the right
04:17field.

04:19And.
04:20And Ohtani with a lead off single
04:21in the third.

04:26Ohtani will stop at second base.
04:28And the Dodgers have a good answer
04:29to that.
04:30two run.
04:31Bottom of the second inning for the
04:32Cardinals.
04:33Back to back singles for the Dodgers

05:02Max Muncy's turn now with two
05:04out.
05:05Is hit hard to right field.
05:07Backing up is the laid.
05:08But he's going to run it down.
05:10Right center field.
05:11And that's the second time that the.
05:15Dodgers have hit a long fly out to end an inning.
05:18A zero goes up on the board.

05:31We'll throw it down to first base.
05:33To complete the strikeout.
05:35starting to get him with different pitches too.
05:37Which gives you confidence.
05:38This one on a breaking ball down.

05:58Halfway through the game the Cardinals lead the.
06:00Dodgers do nothing.
06:01Robleski this guy has got a big time arm but he has been erratic.
06:05Getting a little bit later in the ballgame take advantage of it.
06:08And he missed again.
06:10And it far has a long look out at the Dodger left hand and takes off the box.
06:15Body armor on his way to first with the third walk in the game with two outs by.
06:20Hays is the runner over a third new bar at second for Brendan Donovan Donovan.

06:40Easily ahead of that throw.
06:42Sonny Gray has set down Brad 10 straight.
06:45And knocked on Wood riding a 12 and a third inning scoreless straight.
06:49Key to the game dampening the.
06:50Offense right.
06:51This is one of the most prolific offenses in all of baseball.
06:53Well he's done that 16.
06:55Now it's seven on the ground now four strikeouts five in the air and just making.
07:00Pitches on the corner mixing it so well just like we've seen him do.
07:03Especially the last three outing.
07:05Andi Pias batting with a runner at second.
07:06And a little chopper.
07:07Nolan's going to charge.
07:08Andi Pias batting with a runner at second.
07:09And a little chopper.
07:10Nolan's going to charge.
07:10It's tough play, not in time, infield in.
07:14Coronado did all.
07:15He could.
07:16But Pihas reaches first and third, two outs.
07:19Little pop.
07:20Nolan on the run, still coming, still coming.
07:22Hey, makes a basket catch.

07:34Sonny Gray.
07:35Been dealing in this one.
07:37Sonny's ninth start of six or more innings and four.
