00:01Clayton Kershaw 24 strikeouts away from 3,000.
00:04Mike McGreevy, who is opposing Kershaw today,
00:07seems like 24,000 innings away from catching Clayton Kershaw.
00:11Two opposite ends of the experience spectrum.
00:14Michael McGreevy who starts for the first time this year for the Cardinals.
00:18Well, Michael McGreevy has been so good in his big league career so far.
00:23Limited, right?
00:24But this guy has done nothing but earn this opportunity.
00:27Shohei Ohtani standing in his first at bat.
00:29He welcomes Shohei Ohtani in his first pitch.
00:31He is sent to the gap in left center field that is slicing away from Guerrero
00:35and he gets down and all the way to the wall.
00:37Shohei Ohtani ambushes the first pitch of the game for McGreevy
00:41and gets in a second with a stand-up double.
00:43Wasting no time trying to exercise the risk demons
00:47that they have faced the first two games of the series.
00:50One for 25 so far.
00:52They've stranded 21 runners looking for 22 here in the first inning.
00:56Mookie Betts hits it hard.
00:58Caught by Arenado who cannot double up Ohtani.
01:00Arenado going to his left took a run away from the Dodgers.
01:04Arenado did it with the bat with the walk off yesterday.
01:07Doing it with the leather here in the first inning.
01:09Oscar Hernandez, one out of four in the series, a double and two strikeouts.
01:13Chopper tore third.
01:14A good throw gets him out of it.
01:16And Arenado with a perfect peg.
01:18Oh, he might go leadoff double.
01:20Dodgers can't get the ball out of the infield.
01:23They're 0 for 3 with risk already.
01:25Against the future Hall of Favor, Clayton Kershaw.
01:28Clayton Kershaw's last win came against the Cardinals in his career against St. Louis,
01:3211 and 6 with an ERA below 3.
01:34Mason Wynn, who's on a heater.
01:3615 hits in his last 43 trips to the plate.
01:39That's a 348 average.
01:41Grounded to Muncie.
01:42Backhand stop.
01:43And a good throw.
01:44Two gone.
01:45Two down.
01:46Brendan Donovan left handed hitting second baseman.
01:48Cardinals top hitter.
01:49And a right center field.
01:51That ball is going to get down for a base hit.
01:53Tricky hop.
01:54Kim played it awkwardly.
01:56And Donovan belly flops in with a two out double.
01:59But Donnie was thinking two right out of the box.
02:03He knew where he was going to be.
02:04He's going to hit in every game of this series does Donovan.
02:07In scoring position for Wilson Contreras.
02:10And strike three called.
02:13A fastball knee high inside corner.
02:16Contreras goes down looking.
02:18And the Dodgers have set up shop first and second and nobody out.
02:21Back to back base hits for the Dodgers in this second.
02:24So they are seeing the rookie well clearly.
02:27Three hits and two other hard hit balls.
02:30This is the fifth at bat by the Dodgers with a runner in scoring position.
02:33And still looking for their first hit of the afternoon in that spot to be able to score a run.
02:39So another nice ovation for Tommy Edmund.
02:41The former Redbird swings to the first pitch and grounds it into center field for a base hit.
02:46Muncie going to wheel around third and score.
02:49At long last the Dodgers break through with runners in scoring position.
02:53And they take a one nothing lead.
02:55And Tommy Edmund returns to St. Louis and drives in a run.
02:59It's one nothing Dodgers.
03:00And it's just what the doctor ordered.
03:02And I'm not talking about Dave Roberts doc.
03:04I'm talking about the doctor ordered prescription to get the offense going.
03:08And the Dodgers finally get on the board.
03:10And Smith went first to third on the play so they're cornered for Hessong Kim.
03:14And that is roped down the right field side.
03:16Smith is going to score.
03:18Kim booking it for second.
03:20Green light for Edmund.
03:22Going first to home.
03:23No play at the play.
03:24A two run triple for Hessong Kim.
03:27The Comet strikes in St. Louis.
03:30Back to back hits with risks of the Dodgers.
03:33Two for their last two in that department.
03:36Dodgers leading at three to nothing.
03:38In fact seven of the first nine Dodger hitters have exit fee lows over a hundred miles an hour.
03:44One more out to get more runs.
03:45The Dodgers with three here in the second.
03:48And he's going to make a play here.
03:50Let's face a win.
03:52In time.
03:53Got it.
03:54What a play.
03:55That's signaling to the dugout that he thought he was safe.
03:58The Dodgers may want to take a look at this one.
04:01And they do.
04:02Wynn gets this well.
04:04Unleashed a throw and just barely does that toe come off.
04:08And we'll see if there is a definitive angle that totally shows it.
04:13If he does Kim will score and make the game a four nothing Dodger lead.
04:17Yeah.
04:18I don't think this one will take very long.
04:20Cardinals defensively have gone back to their positions.
04:23After review.
04:24The call on the field stands.
04:25The runner is out.
04:26Wow.
04:27Los Angeles will lose their talent.
04:29I'm stunned.
04:30I'm stunned by that.
04:31I am too.
04:32Oh my goodness.
04:33I can only assume that the replay central in New York did not have a good angle.
04:38The Dodgers leading three nothing.
04:40Looked like they might have had more.
04:41But ultimately Mookie Betts called out at first base.
04:44Swing and a miss.
04:45Strike three.
04:46Back to back case for Kershaw.
04:48And that slider right there.
04:50A good one because.
04:51And I mentioned that because the slider has been knocked around three or four average.
04:54And a shot up the middle.
04:56Mookie Betts dives.
04:57Scrabble.
04:58Three wide throw at first.
05:00Burleson is on with a hit.
05:01Kershaw gave up a two out double in the first to Donovan but stranded him.
05:06Trying to do the same.
05:07Gets a wave and a miss.
05:09In an ending ending K.
05:10Book ending strikeouts for Kershaw.
05:12To get through two for Kershaw.
05:1429-79.
05:15Pulls him even with old friend Zach Greinke.
05:1820th most strikeouts all time.
05:21And he puts him away.
05:23Clayton Kershaw with four strikeouts his first trip through the order.
05:28His outstanding read on his stuff.
05:30Another strikeout.
05:32Turn back the clock.
05:33Let's go.
05:34He came into today with eight strikeouts on the year.
05:37He's already at five on a Sunday afternoon.
05:40Right handed batter swings and he lifts it in the air to the left center field gap and deep.
05:44On the run is Kim and he makes a running catch.
05:47Oh wow.
05:48He won a long way to get there.
05:50And Hesson Kim tracks it down on the warning track deep in the left center field alley.
05:55Side retired in order.
05:57Kershaw strikes out two.
05:58We go to the fourth.
05:59Dodgers three.
06:00Cardinals nothing.
06:01Fourth inning starts with Will Smith.
06:03Smith one for one with a base hit and a run scored.
06:06Smith with an opposite field fly ball.
06:07And this ball will drop.
06:09Moreno made an attempt at it but couldn't haul it in and gets to the wall.
06:13Will Smith digging for third.
06:14And he is going to get in there safe.
06:16The second Dodger triple of the game.
06:19Very nice.
06:20See these bats wake up.
06:22They have been setting the table this whole series.
06:25Just not driving them in.
06:26One out runner still at third base.
06:28Now Tommy Edmond better hitter from the left side more power from the right side.
06:32First pitch swinging and he cues it down the left field line.
06:36Smith will score.
06:38And Tommy will dig out a double.
06:40He just deflects it over by one of the best fielders that have ever played third base.
06:45That's a way to get it by Arnauto.
06:47With a run scoring double is Tommy Edmond and the Dodgers lead it four to nothing.
06:51Edmond with two RBI.
06:53So two on.
06:54Nobody out.
06:55Barrero is up.
06:56And the Cardinals have their first real threat of the game.
06:59I did not see that.
07:00Save that Jim.
07:01That might be the rally maker right there.
07:03As Pajes gets his first hit.
07:06Back to back hits for the Cardinals for the first time today.
07:08Is in the air drifting into foul territory.
07:11Freddie hustling out there makes the catch.
07:14Spins and fires to get it back in quickly.
07:16Freddie Freeman heck of a play.
07:18Well what a catch.
07:19And it also caught Clayton Kershaw by surprise because Kershaw was still in the mound.
07:24He was not backing up third.
07:25And he was hustling over.
07:27What a big play.
07:28First and second.
07:29Now one out.
07:30The lineup turns over.
07:31The third time through begins with Lars Newport.
07:34Check swing.
07:35Did he go?
07:36Yes he did.
07:37He's punched out at third by the umpire Chris Siegel on appeal.
07:40And that is six strikeouts now for Kershaw.
07:43And he got him with a slider.
07:44Yep.
07:45Another good one.
07:46So two outs after the two singles.
07:47Mason Wynn is 0 for 2.
07:48Swing.
07:49And a shot hit to Rakowski.
07:50A score run.
07:51He's around third in the score.
07:52Pot has headed that way.
07:53Mason to second.
07:54The Cardinals are on the board.
07:55Well Mason Wynn continues his hot streak.
07:56Does it again.
07:57Went down and got one of those Kershaw sliders.
07:58Drives it to left field and brings in a run.
07:59There we go.
08:00Not a man but.
08:01Twenty six runs batted in.
08:02He has four home runs.
08:03Off for a base hit here.
08:04He struck him out.
08:05That's number seven.
08:06He struck him out.
08:07He struck him out.
08:08He struck him out.
08:09He struck him out.
08:10He struck him out.
08:11He struck him out.
08:12He struck him out.
08:13He struck him out.
08:14He struck him out.
08:15He struck him out.
08:16That's number seven for Clayton Kershaw.
08:19Strands a pair and keeps the Dodgers ahead by three.
08:22Clayton Kershaw is out of the ball game after five innings.
08:26Lou Trevino will take over.
08:28And the Cardinals have him first and third.
08:30And to a board with nobody out.
08:33Herrera flair to right.
08:34And now the Cardinals with runners at the corners and the tying run coming up.
08:38Cardinals trail by three batting in the sixth inning.
08:41Burleson is up representing the tying run.
08:43He has hit five home runs.
08:44Swing.
08:45Fly ball center.
08:46Well hit.
08:47Came on the run.
08:48Slowing now.
08:49That'll be deep enough to score a run.
08:51Burleson brings home Contreras with a sacrifice fly.
08:55Good trip to the plate for Alec.
08:57It's now a two run game.
08:58They don't hit a ton of home runs as a club.
09:01And they do a good job of get them on.
09:02Get them over.
09:03Get them in.
09:04That's exactly what they did right there.
09:06Michael McGreeves threw after six effective innings.
09:08He turns things over to John King.
09:10Mookie's been swinging the bat very hot.
09:13Wants to hit the ball in the air to left field.
09:15Right there.
09:16There you go.
09:17A drive to left field toward the corner.
09:19And gone.
09:22Mookie Betts getting warmer ninth of the season.
09:26Makes it five to Dodgers right on cue partner.
09:30Had a feeling he was due to start showing off that power stroke again.
09:35And Mookie Betts has his first home run since the 19th of May.
09:40The lane's going to make it to third base.
09:42And Donovan's going to hold it first.
09:44And the Cardinals will now have the tying run at the plate.
09:47So Donovan with a one iron up the middle has his second hit.
09:52And Los Angeles turns to Kirby Yates.
09:55Kirby Yates was activated off the injured list on Saturday.
09:59Wilson Contreras who hit a ball halfway up the wall last time.
10:03Swing line line.
10:04Contreras comes through with a big hit.
10:06It's five to three.
10:08He flips his back over to the Cardinals dugout.
10:11And the Cardinals score here in the bottom of the seventh inning.
10:15And the game just does the tighten up.
10:16It's five three.
10:17A chopper to the left side.
10:19Muncie charges in the glove.
10:20Throws on the run.
10:21Dugout by Freddie.
10:23And that will do it for the seventh.
10:25The Cardinals get a run on two hits.
10:28They leave two.
10:29We go to the eighth inning at Busch Stadium.
10:31Michael Conforto hit by another pitch.
10:33I believe that's the seventh of the season for him.
10:36He gets on to load the bases.
10:38Bases loaded.
10:39Tommy Edmond.
10:40Welcome home huh.
10:41Some nice situations.
10:43It is brought in two today.
10:45The Dodgers lead by two.
10:46Trying to add on top of that.
10:48Edmond.
10:49Hits it high to right field.
10:51Pushing Burles into the warning track.
10:53He makes the catch.
10:54Teoscar Hernandez will tag.
10:55As will Muncie.
10:56Teos scores.
10:57Muncie to third.
10:59It's six to three.
11:00Third RBI for Tommy Edmond.
11:02And Tommy Edmond with a three RBI goodbye in St. Louis.
11:06Makes it a six three game.
11:08Second time up for Quique Hernandez.
11:10Tommy Hernandez came off the bench to pinch hit for Hesong Kim in the seventh.
11:13He ground it out.
11:14That's airmail to the backstop.
11:16Muncie breaks home.
11:17No play.
11:18Add one more on a wild pitch.
11:21And the Dodgers now with a seven to three lead.
11:24Well that'll be a pass ball because that just barely missed on the outside corner.
11:29That brings up Otani here in the top of the eighth inning.
11:32Two runs are in.
11:33And that is inside.
11:35Did it hit him?
11:36They checked his swing.
11:37They appealed the check swing first to Chris Siegel at third base.
11:40Otani limping around.
11:41Now he's going to take his spot at first base.
11:44But in painful fashion.
11:46Oski Nakajima is going to come out and check on him.
11:49And he's now standing there waving his batting gloves playfully for one of the clubbies to come get.
11:54And the bases will be full of Dodgers.
11:55Here's a swing and a high fly ball to center field sending Newt Barr back.
11:59He waits for it.
12:00Lars shades his eyes and makes the catch.
12:03Eight men came to bat.
12:04The Dodgers put up two.
12:06And we welcome Michael Kopech into it.
12:09First outing of the season in twenty twenty five.
12:13For a guy who was a massive part of the Dodgers World Series run.
12:16Popped him up left side.
12:19Betts.
12:21Makes the catch.
12:22And that's a win for L.A.
12:25The Dodgers stiff arm the sweep in St. Louis.
12:28They take the finale seven to three.
12:30They remain in first place.
