00:01Back at it at Coors Field, the Dodgers and Rockies, game two of three in Denver.
00:06The Dodgers, with a win today, would make it a fifth straight series win.
00:10For Yoshinobi Yamamoto, he comes into this one in an interesting situation.
00:13This is his first time he comes into a game with back-to-back losses, so he's looking to get
00:18back on track.
00:18The rookie, Chase Dolan, or highly touted right-hander, coming off a turn last Thursday against the Nationals.
00:24Six innings, just two runs, and they came on a two-run home run.
00:27But he has made back-to-back quality starts.
00:30Shohei Ohtani getting ready to lead off the ball game.
00:33He has gone deep in back-to-back games with seven RBIs.
00:37And he got him out on the front side.
00:39It's popped up.
00:40Orlando RCN waiting, and he makes a catch.
00:44There's a big first out.
00:45Now Mookie Betts coming off a two-for-five Tuesday night.
00:49He saw the ground to short.
00:52RCN, two outs.
00:53Freddy was 0-for-5 last night, batting $1.88 in the month of June.
00:581-1 to Freeman.
01:00His ball up the middle, backing up from the outfield grass.
01:04RCN throws it, and a good beginning for Chase Dolan.
01:07He puts the Dodgers down in order.
01:10Rocky's coming to bat.
01:11Been tough for Yamamoto.
01:13He's lost back-to-back starts for the first time in his career.
01:16He has lost three straight decisions, and the Dodgers have lost all four games he has started here in the
01:22month of June.
01:22So, trying to flip that around, pushed in the air to right field.
01:26Oscar Hernandez drifting over and making the catch.
01:30On top of the order for Colorado.
01:32First ball swinging, pops it up, shallow center.
01:35Coming in is Andy Pajas, and he'll make the catch for out number two.
01:41Goes to the curve and gets a swing and a miss for strike three.
01:45A ten-pitch inning for Yamamoto as he strikes out his first man.
01:50McMahon's been warm for Colorado the last few weeks.
01:53Two hits last night.
01:542-2.
01:55Swing and a miss.
01:56Strike three.
01:57Another K on a curve from Yamamoto.
02:01Ground ball up the middle.
02:02Edmonds waiting beyond the bag.
02:04Two gone.
02:05Three hits for Tolia last night.
02:07A couple of RBIs.
02:09Fastball.
02:09Swung on and miss.
02:11Strike three.
02:12Three strikeouts for Yamamoto.
02:14He's two away from 100 on the season.
02:16Top of the third.
02:17Nothing against either starter so far.
02:20Tommy Edmonds says that's enough of that talk.
02:22Sends one down the left field line.
02:24And he's hunting two.
02:26He has two standing up.
02:28The leadoff double.
02:29The 11th double of the season for Tommy Edmonds.
02:32That's the first hit of the ball game for either team.
02:34Brings Michael Conforto up with the runner in scoring position.
02:370-1 pitch.
02:38Is a ground ball to short.
02:39Grabbed by Arcea.
02:40Throws to third.
02:41And they got him at third on a perfect throw.
02:44You don't go when the ball's hit to that side.
02:46And he is thrown out by the shortstop Arcea on a base running gap.
02:51Two outs for Otani.
02:52Conforto on first two down.
02:54Dolaners payoff.
02:56Is low in ball four.
02:58Otani is aboard.
03:00Conforto goes over to second base.
03:02So two on and two out for Mookie Betts.
03:051-1.
03:06This ball in the air.
03:07Right at Vicky Poniak.
03:09And that is the third out.
03:10And no harm is done with a double and a walk in the inning.
03:13Here's a 1-2 pitch.
03:16And did he go around?
03:17Yes he did.
03:17A splitter.
03:19And Moniak strikes out.
03:20That will be strikeout number four.
03:22Now the number nine hitter Sam Hilliard.
03:24And this is toward the middle of the back.
03:26And out through a base hit for Hilliard.
03:28For the Rockies with two outs.
03:30In the third half their first base run.
03:32And what are trying to strand Hilliard.
03:35That's fly to center.
03:36Pihas will jog back.
03:37Or he can make the catch.
03:39Here's a 3-2.
03:41Swung out and miss.
03:42Foul tipped into the glove of Hunter Goodman.
03:45Max Muncy is the first strikeout tonight.
03:48Hernandez hits a ground ball.
03:50McMahon cuts in front of him.
03:51Arcia throws to first.
03:53And they get Hernandez.
03:55How about seven ground ball outs among the 12 for Chase Dolander?
04:01Goodman hitting 186.
04:03Fires.
04:04There's a ground ball towards short to his glove side.
04:06Mookie Betts.
04:06He's got it on the run.
04:08Little leaping throw.
04:09And he's got Goodman in plenty of time.
04:11Went away.
04:12Nice play for Betts.
04:13He had a full outstretch going up the middle to the glove side.
04:17Strike three.
04:18Swinging.
04:19Did it with the split.
04:20And that is the 100th strikeout of the season for Yamamoto.
04:24His fifth tonight.
04:26Bouncing to the right side.
04:27Yamamoto off the mound.
04:28He will cover the bag.
04:30And it's a 1-2-3 inning.
04:32The third and four innings for the Rockies.
04:34Just a one strikeout for Dolander.
04:37Being a power pitcher, you might think he might have a few more of those,
04:39even against the Dodgers.
04:41But getting weak contact.
04:42Another ground ball.
04:44Estrada at second has it over.
04:45The first 10 ground ball outs.
04:48Halfway through for Chase Dolander.
04:51Lack of run support for Yoshinobu Yamamoto.
04:54It is absolutely wild.
04:56Just two total runs of support all month.
04:59Estrada on for Tolia.
05:00A little ground ball back to Yamamoto.
05:01Calm throw to Betts for one, and there's the total for two.
05:04One to six to three.
05:06And that erases the leadoff walk, and there are two men out.
05:09Impressive because Yamamoto had plenty of time.
05:12Caught on him.
05:13This strike three.
05:15Punch out number six.
05:17No score at Coors.
05:19Rushing Otani and Betts on the docket for the Dodgers against Chase Dolander.
05:24Ball four.
05:26Leadoff man on in front of Otani.
05:28The Dodgers have struggled to get runs for his teammate Yamamoto.
05:32Who can help change that right here.
05:35Shot to left.
05:36This will drop in front of Beck.
05:39Otani singles.
05:40Rushing goes to second.
05:41First two on for Mookie Betts.
05:44And Betts hits this ball in a deep left.
05:46But Beck is there.
05:47One out.
05:48No advancement.
05:50Some Freddie Chance.
05:51Building here in Colorado.
05:53Two on, one out in the sixth.
05:55Ground ball to Tolia.
05:57Bobbles a little bit.
05:58So, he gets the sure out with Dolander.
06:01Second and third two outs in the sixth.
06:03The grounds crew is on watch here in Denver with weather looming in the area.
06:09Dodgers trying to break through.
06:10Max Muncy at the dish.
06:11Now, you can see it really falling.
06:14The payoff pitch.
06:16And Muncy skies it.
06:17Pops it up beyond the infield on the right side.
06:20Estrada calling for it.
06:21The raindrops.
06:22He's not going to make it.
06:23It drops down next to Tolia.
06:26And two Dodgers score.
06:28Blame it on the rain.
06:31Two-nothing Dodgers.
06:32You got to be kidding me.
06:34Looking up at the lights and the rain.
06:37Estrada lost it.
06:38Tolia couldn't find it.
06:39What an awful, awful break.
06:42And also, you can't attach an error.
06:43Rain delay in Coors Field.
06:45Dodgers with a gift of two runs.
06:47Tops should have been pulled.
06:48Yes.
06:49Prior to when it was.
06:51Well, the rain has passed.
06:52And we are set to resume.
06:55Well, now you turn it over to Jake Byrd, who was, by the way, warming up when we went into
07:00this rain delay, say, what, an hour and 15 minutes ago.
07:04And the Dodgers with two on and two out for Andy Pajas.
07:07A couple ground outs for Pajas against Dolander.
07:10And that was sort of the theme.
07:11That served to right field.
07:13That will drop for a hit.
07:15Max Muncy racing home.
07:17A two-out Aubrey.
07:18I'm not for Andy Pajas.
07:20Another run across for the Dodgers in the sixth.
07:22Three to nothing.
07:23Tyler's 0 for 2.
07:26Lays down a bump.
07:27You can put that in your pocket.
07:31It's a great play.
07:32And also, you take advantage of the wet grass.
07:34Now a 12-game hitting streak.
07:36Rancho Cucamonga Kidd reaches with two outs in the sixth.
07:39Brings up Hunter Goodman.
07:41And this ball's lined to center field.
07:43And it's going to drop.
07:45Freeman will go first to third.
07:47The throw.
07:48Getting the dugout.
07:49Getting the dugout.
07:49Yes.
07:50Off the facade of the dugout.
07:52That is out of play.
07:53Freeman will score.
07:55And Goodman will get to third base.
07:57Rockies on the board.
07:59Three to one.
08:00So the Dodgers want to challenge where Hunter Goodman should be.
08:03Right now, he's on third.
08:04After a view, the call in the field is overturned.
08:07One run will score.
08:08The batter will be placed at second base.
08:11All right.
08:12So Ryan McMahon's ability will come up to face Alex Vestia.
08:16Vestia pitched a third of an inning yesterday.
08:18It was against Max.
08:20Struck him out.
08:22Two nights in a row.
08:23Vestia beats McMahon.
08:24He strands two runners and keeps the Dodgers ahead.
08:27Three to one.
08:28Shohei coming up with the runner in scoring position.
08:31And four fingers put up by the Rockies.
08:34How about that?
08:35And the fans who weathered the weather.
08:38All right.
08:38This is as good a time as any for ready to break out.
08:41It's ten.
08:42Downstairs.
08:43Ball four.
08:44Load him up.
08:45Muncy coming up with the bases loaded.
08:47This time he did that on Sunday against the Nationals.
08:50He hit his seventh career grand slam.
08:53Muncy with a fly ball to right field.
08:55This one is back.
08:56His ball is gone.
09:00Max Muncy with a grand slam.
09:03His second one this week.
09:05And the Dodgers have opened it up.
09:07It is seven to one.
09:09Oh, Maxwell swinging the silver hammer in the Mile High City.
09:14Six RBIs on the evening.
09:16Eighth grand slam of his career.
09:18He has the most slams in Major League Baseball since 2023 with six.
09:24Michael looking for back-to-back multi-hit ballgames.
09:27Singled and scored his last time up.
09:30Conforto.
09:32Liftoff.
09:33A mile high moonshot for Michael Conforto.
09:39Michael Conforto.
09:40Home runs in back-to-back games.
09:43And the Dodgers lead it eight to one.
09:47431 feet.
09:48Second inning of work for Will Klein.
09:51The Dodgers debut in the last series against the Nationals.
09:55Clayton Kershaw will have a shot for 3,000.
09:58That'll do it.
09:59That's a win for L.A.
10:01Five consecutive series wins.
10:04We can put it in the win count for the Dodgers.
10:06Win number 50 on the season.
10:08The Dodgers have now won nine in a row against Colorado.
10:12Two percent win.
10:12Tiret in Toronto.
10:12One win.
