00:01Tasker Hernandez Bobblehead
00:02giveaway tonight.
00:03All the folks coming away with
00:05tail Bobbleheads as the Dodgers
00:07and Twins play the middle game
00:09in this three game series.
00:11Yamamoto it's been the most
00:12consistent starter we've had.
00:14Yes he had the shortest outing
00:15of his career against Milwaukee
00:17but he responded against the
00:18Giants and that splitter was
00:20deadly against the Giants one
00:21for thirteen they were against
00:23it.
00:23His fifth in ERA is third and
00:25average against what a season he
00:26said.
00:27Here's Buxton.
00:27Buckle up right away with this
00:29superstar leading off for the
00:30Twins.
00:31Another 3-2.
00:32Swing and a miss strike three.
00:34Just ate him up and in with a
00:36fastball at 96 for a game opening
00:39punch out.
00:40His 3-2 to Willie Castro.
00:42Fastball rings him up and he puts
00:44bookend Kays on a 1-2-3 first.
00:46Where would this team be if it
00:48weren't for Simeon Woods
00:49Richardson stepping up in a huge
00:51way here over the last few weeks.
00:53In those six starts Simeon is 3-1
00:56with a 1.47 ERA truly one of his best
01:00stretches of his major league career.
01:03Now Shohei Ohtani's first at bat.
01:05Ohtani has gone deep in three straight
01:07games.
01:07He struck him out 96.
01:10Boy, Sime fired up ahead 0-2.
01:13Goes up and inside.
01:14Ohtani is out number two.
01:16Will had two home runs last night.
01:18Two of the four the Dodgers hit.
01:20This one slicing foul.
01:21Walner over and Walner measuring
01:24and makes the play.
01:26Boy, the moose.
01:27He's an agile moose.
01:29And the inning is over a 1-2-3.
01:32Bottom of the first turned in by
01:33Simeon Woods Richardson.
01:35Carlos 0 for 5 last night.
01:37But man came so close to
01:39silencing this crowd.
01:40The 2-2 is a bouncing ball up
01:42the third base line.
01:43A chance for Rojas.
01:44Grabs it with the bare hand and
01:45eats it.
01:46And Carlos Correa will be safe at
01:47first base with an infield hit.
01:49Runner stays and that's ball four.
01:51So France a nine pitch plate
01:53appearance so the Twins have two on.
01:55Absolutely imperative to seize the
01:57opportunities early against a club
01:59as talented as the Dodgers.
02:01And Walner high fly to right and
02:04playable for Pajas.
02:05Here's the catch.
02:07Correa will tag and the throw is
02:08caught off by Betts.
02:10So Walner with a lengthy at bat
02:12advances Correa to third.
02:14France they put it first.
02:15They'll bring up Royce Lewis.
02:17How good did Royce look last night?
02:19Three hits a double stole the base
02:22and now an RBI chance right away
02:23tonight.
02:24Dodgers back for a ground ball
02:25double play.
02:26Chopped in the hole and that's off
02:28the glove of Rojas.
02:29It goes to Betts.
02:30Safe at second.
02:31Lewis is safe at first.
02:33Correa scores and it's 1-0 Twins.
02:36And a great job by Royce just
02:37putting the ball in play.
02:39Getting the RBI hustling out of
02:40the box.
02:41It's on Kim off the base there.
02:43What a wild play that was.
02:45Now Harrison Bader.
02:46It's June 25th.
02:47He's 0 for 11 with runners in
02:49scoring position.
02:50Six strikeouts in that run.
02:52Swings and misses.
02:53Strike three.
02:54Yamamoto blew it by him.
02:55A high fastball.
02:56That's out number two.
02:58Small sample.
02:59Vasquez.
02:59Good numbers here at Dodger
03:01Stadium.
03:01Only two games in his career.
03:03Four for nine.
03:04Yamamoto about to throw his 50th
03:06pitch of the game.
03:08Vasquez bangs one left center
03:09field on the run.
03:10One goes out and won't get it.
03:12That's going to find the wall.
03:14France will score.
03:15Here comes Royce heading home
03:17and he will score sliding.
03:19Christian Vasquez delivers a
03:21two out two run double.
03:23And it's 3-0.
03:24Gets that splitter from Yamamoto.
03:26This one elevated.
03:27You mentioned the 50th pitch of
03:28the game.
03:29Leaves it hanging and Vasquez
03:30gets the barrel right to it.
03:32Splits the gap past Altman.
03:34Royce on his horse.
03:35Both runners score Vasquez on
03:37second base and that is a
03:38beautiful thing.
03:39Bojas takes the walk.
03:41First two have reached and
03:42just like that they have the
03:43tying run coming up in the
03:44form of Michael Conforto.
03:45To the right side.
03:46It's France.
03:47He'll get this one.
03:48Second for one.
03:48Correa's return.
03:49And they do get two.
03:51That is a huge twin killing.
03:53And it goes 3-6-1 outstanding
03:56on all three legs of that
03:58particular defensive journey.
03:59To get out of this inning.
04:01First and second nobody out.
04:02To get out of it without
04:03allowing a run.
04:04Putting up a zero after your
04:06team gets you the lead is
04:07big time stuff for Sim.
04:08This is a big impact.
04:09Swung on and pulled towards
04:10first base.
04:11France has it.
04:11Go flip to Sim.
04:12Sim steps on the bag.
04:13He beats the Comet to the
04:14base.
04:15And despite putting the first
04:16two men aboard here in the
04:17home second Simeon Woods
04:19Richardson hangs a donut on
04:20the Dodgers.
04:21That's back to back case for
04:22Yamamoto.
04:23Castro on first.
04:24Now two outs.
04:25Catcher runs this time.
04:27Got a good job and a better
04:28throw and he's out.
04:29Well in addition to leading the
04:31league in average in and on
04:32base he leads the league in
04:34clock stealing as valuable as
04:36any catcher out there.
04:37Four pitch walk for Rojas to
04:39open the third.
04:40Let's see if they can do
04:41something with the leadoff man
04:42reaching.
04:43They had the first two on last
04:44inning and couldn't score.
04:46Caught by France and that's a
04:47double play.
04:48A little moonwalk back to the
04:50bag and there you go.
04:51Ty France reached up and stole
04:53it out of the sky and Simeon
04:55Woods Richardson has a lucky
04:57horseshoe hanging over his head
04:58right now.
04:58That's the third walk for the
05:00Dodgers already and the table
05:02set for Otani here with two
05:03out.
05:04Shohei struck out his first
05:05time and is now one for 16 in
05:08the day after his starts.
05:11Strike three at 94.
05:13So Woods Richardson after the
05:14mound visit a couple of walks
05:16with a double play and strikes
05:18out Otani for the second time
05:20tonight.
05:20Now the Dodgers have had some
05:22traffic but Sim is up for the
05:24challenge.
05:24Back to back walks.
05:26That's now five tonight and
05:28that matches a season high.
05:30Talked about this last night.
05:31You can't give this Dodgers
05:33offense a free 90 feet three
05:35straight innings.
05:36The Dodgers have had the lead
05:37off man on.
05:38Haven't been able to do
05:39anything yet.
05:40Pahez up there as the time
05:42run.
05:43Now Pahez pummels a ball left
05:45field.
05:46It is gone.
05:48And we're tied.
05:50Andy Pahez has gone deep in
05:53back to back games.
05:54He's up to 19 on the year.
05:56A three run blast.
05:58We got a new game.
05:59Out of walks.
06:01You're living so dangerously
06:02against this lineup and this
06:04team at this ballpark.
06:06And just like that the lead is
06:07gone.
06:08Andy Pahez hit it one home run
06:09in his previous 22 games.
06:12He's homered in both games
06:13against the twins.
06:14And Yamamoto even though he's
06:15at 92 pitches nobody was
06:17warming in that pen until just
06:18a moment ago.
06:19It's a ground ball to Freddie
06:20Freeman snares it on a short
06:21hop and he steps on the bag all
06:23by himself.
06:24That got on Freddie in a hurry
06:26but he dropped down to a knee
06:27to field that low liner and
06:30record the first out.
06:31Strike three swinging.
06:32Yamamoto beats Jeffers with the
06:34fastball.
06:35And that has been the money
06:36pitch tonight for Yoshinobu
06:38Yamamoto.
06:38And Willie strikes out.
06:40So Yamamoto his best inning.
06:42Comes likely in his last.
06:43A one two three fifth.
06:44He strikes out two more.
06:45And Casparious he can't throw
06:47it over right now.
06:48Yeah something's going on here.
06:49He's got no grip.
06:51Two walks in a double.
06:52Here in the inning.
06:52Not used to seeing him this
06:54scattered.
06:55Bases loaded.
06:56Nobody out.
06:57Here comes Royce Lewis.
06:58And that's another walk.
07:00Third of the inning.
07:01And the twins regain the lead.
07:03He just motioned to Dave
07:04Roberts.
07:05There's something going on.
07:06Something going on with that
07:07right leg.
07:08Barious sleeves with an injury.
07:10Here comes Alexis Diaz
07:12making his Dodgers debut.
07:14One in three on nobody out.
07:15And Harrison Bader's coming up.
07:16And Bader checks swing
07:17for third base.
07:18Rojas will bare hand throw.
07:20And Bader is out.
07:22As the run scores.
07:24Fine play by Miguel Rojas.
07:26With his bare hand.
07:27Came in down the line.
07:29And Bader is out.
07:30As France scores.
07:32It's 5-3.
07:33Now the infield is in.
07:34As Vasquez bats.
07:35Riders at second and third
07:36and one out.
07:37Lying to left field.
07:38The base in.
07:39Walters scores.
07:40Lewis will be held.
07:42As the throw comes in.
07:44From Conforto.
07:45So Vasquez swinging away.
07:47He drives in his third run
07:49tonight.
07:49And the twins have a 6-3 lead
07:51here in the sixth inning.
07:52Second and third.
07:53Two down.
07:54Now Hassan Kim.
07:55Rogers trying to chip away.
07:56In the sixth.
07:57Kim rips onto the center field.
08:00And a knock in two.
08:01To get him back to within one.
08:03A little two outburst.
08:06Kim knocks and appears.
08:076-5 in the sixth.
08:09Third straight walk for Klein.
08:11And the bases are loaded for Royce.
08:13For the second time tonight.
08:14Gardo Enriquez.
08:16Making his Dodger debut.
08:17Check swing tapper.
08:18First baseline.
08:19It's going to bounce.
08:20Enriquez.
08:21Bobbles.
08:21Throws.
08:22Away.
08:23Into right field.
08:25Keep that arm going.
08:26Tommy Watkins.
08:27Two runs are in.
08:29Walters going to score.
08:30Lewis will stop at third base.
08:33Walks.
08:34Miscues.
08:35Twins capitalize.
08:36It's 9-5.
08:37That is not the way I expected the twins to score some runs right there.
08:41Enriquez says I got it.
08:43But then he doesn't got it.
08:44Really want a bare hand that.
08:45Tries to glove it.
08:46Throws it past Freddie.
08:47And Royce is on his horse all the way to third.
08:49The bases are cleared.
08:51Cory I'll say this has got to be the sloppiest inning of baseball in the big leagues all season.
08:55And Anthony.
08:56He's going to come out of this game.
08:58This is.
08:59This is something right here.
09:00The Twins have Duran and Topa in the pen.
09:04Whoever comes in is going to do so with a 3-2 count to Andy Paz.
09:08As Anthony Misiewicz will leave here in the eighth inning.
09:12It will be Duran right now with a 4-1 lead.
09:15A man on.
09:16Nobody out eighth inning.
09:17And he inherits a 3-2 count to Andy Paz.
09:22Paz rips a base hit to left.
09:25Wow.
09:251-0-2.
09:26And he pulls it over Correa.
09:28The potential tying run is on deck.
09:30Michael Conforto.
09:31He doubled his last time up.
09:33Duran has done exceptionally well this season.
09:36With that splinker is induce a very high ground ball rate.
09:40Like that.
09:42There's one.
09:43Two.
09:44Double play.
09:45Number three on the night.
09:46And there are two out here in the eighth.
09:48Freeman scampers down to third.
09:49A huge double play.
09:51That was a tailor-made double play ground ball for Duran.
09:54Who now needs one more out to finish the eighth.
09:57Joyce Lewis from the grass.
09:59Throws him out.
10:00Job well done.
10:01Johan Duran.
10:02And the Dodgers strand Freeman ninth inning.
10:05Twins by four.
10:06And a leadoff double for Correa fourth time he has reached tonight.
10:09Good night for Ty France.
10:10He has been on three times.
10:12Also has scored three runs.
10:13And if the twins can push a couple runs across and you can sit Duran down.
10:18I mean that is massive.
10:20And France sends it high and deep to right center field.
10:23This one is back to the track to the wall and off the wall.
10:26A late break from Correa.
10:28It takes a big bounce back into center.
10:31Correa is heading home.
10:32The throw to the plate is not in time at Ty France.
10:35With a run scoring double off the wall in right center.
10:38And the twins have a tenth spot here at Dodgers Stadium and lead by five.
10:42Johan Duran indeed is coming back out.
10:45So he will try and finish off the Dodgers here tonight.
10:48This should be fun.
10:49Duran Ohtani with two down ninth inning.
10:52Smack the other way.
10:54Bader's back.
10:55Goodbye.
10:56Ha ha.
10:58What a marvel.
10:59Shohei Ohtani off Johan Duran.
11:03For the first time in his career he's gone deep four games in a row.
11:08And now the Dodgers down to their last strike.
11:10And the pitch is swung and a miss.
11:12And this ball game is over.
11:14Smith strikes out.
11:15And despite the Ohtani blast in the ninth, Duran finishes the job.
11:19And the twins win at Dodger Stadium for just the third time in franchise history.
11:24And this is burn all the way down the first place twice ofbin.
