00:00Max Scherzer for the 251 ERA that's the best of his career we're talking about a guy who's won three Cy Young's 37 years old and hasn't lost the step and he really has gained a step since becoming a Dodger they have enjoyed having him on the mound the price they paid to get him here has really paid off and this is why you get the big game pitcher this is the night when you can step forward and get into first place and you can continue a hot streak well Max Scherzer is the man for the job.
00:30Peterson leading things off and striking out on three pitches good morning good afternoon good night to start Scherzer's night hometown kid Max Reed Jeff is going to work against the Dodgers tonight and the last four road starts you see three and one under a one ERA last five starts he's four and one with a one three six so peaking at the right time Max Muncy 258 hitter seven career home runs against the Braves
01:00and it's gone home run Max Muncy 30th of the season for Muncy and the Dodgers lead one nothing out over the plate and Max doesn't do too much with it he just Muncy's it out of here here's Travis Darnot to lead it all
01:14pulled down the line and caught inches in the Dodger Jonesy one gone
01:21nice play Aliana could be signing autographs by the end of the night Scherzer winds kicks delivers the payoff swing and a miss strike three got him a chase a slider
01:32well strikeout number two for Max Scherzer that slider just continues to go especially when he stays on top of it
01:39that ball just got barely the outside corner now Adam Duvall coming up Duvall at 223 he's got 29 home runs and 88 runs batted in here he comes
01:50a changeup feathered over the inside corner to strike him out third strikeout for Scherzer and the Braves are gone in order in the second
02:00Max Scherzer cruising along so far back to the top for Peterson they're calling the blonde bomber
02:07changeup changeup he went around strike three Scherzer's gotten him both times under the 1-2-3 inning on 10 pitches
02:17Austin Barnes five home runs 19 runs batted in 3-2 and a 5 ball hit to deep left field Austin Barnes gets it gone 2-0 on a Barnes solo shot
02:31number six for Barnes on the season Barnes second home run in his last three games he had one against the Padres top of the fourth inning Max Scherzer
02:39back up on top of the hill facing the shortstop Dansby Swanson not only is he a mystery of what he's going to throw you
02:46in the beginning of the count in the middle of the count he's a mystery and how he's going to put you away
02:50like that perfect example yeah and that at bat he goes fastball slider change gets him on three pitches
02:58fifth of the game here's Freeman who muscled the only hit of the game
03:02Wow it's one of the great hitters in baseball down on three pitches flailing wildly
03:08six strikeouts for Scherzer and he's retired eight in a row Adam Duvall walking up to home plate now
03:14Dodgers will shift three to the left even with a runner at first fastball for strike three Duvall
03:21like a house by the side of the road watches it blaze by and Scherzer has his seventh fastball is a put away pitch
03:27two down and two on so the time runs on base and the pitcher Max Freed coming up
03:32produces his eighth strikeout of the ninth through five
03:36here's Dansby with one out one two strike three call a fastball right down the middle knee high taken by Swanson
03:44two out boy he is attacking he's got everything working he's got the power he's got the finesse
03:50Scherzer has set it up for the bullpen the Dodgers turn things over to hard throwing right-hander
03:55Brewster grader all to see if the Braves can get something started against him
03:59time run at the plate in the form of Eddie Rosario's it's seven home runs all those come in
04:04in Cleveland and that one is hit high in the air left center field and deep at the wall
04:11Rosario ties it up freed off the hook Scherzer can't win it Braves have new life and the
04:19Boo Birds are out at Dodger Stadium it's 2 to 2.
04:22Well I'll tell you why I think the Boo Birds are out I think the Boo Birds are mad that Dave
04:27Roberts took out Max Scherzer in this ballgame 0 2 fastball that's what I'm saying no matter if you throw 100 these guys can time it up.
04:34But with Corey Seager and his tendency to swing at the first pitch who knows what Corey will get it's his bobblehead night and he hits a high drive to deep center field Corey Seager caught at the wall oh my goodness that close Danzby tried to snap an 0 for 3 he struck out his last two trips
05:04That ball is deep that ball is gone that one deep enough Danzby Swanson puts Atlanta in front it's a 3-2 game one thing we know about Danzby his power I'm telling you the right center is a massive strength for him and he just showed it there to give the Braves a lead his 26th homer
05:25and now Mookie Betts 0 for 3 he's punched out three times which is unusual in its own right here's a 2-2 and he's down on strikes for the fourth time tonight his first four strikeout game since his first four year in the majors in 2015.
05:45You go up and away first time they've done that all night you can see how Mookie is just not expecting it and almost feeling for the ball out there.
