00:01We got a beautiful day for baseball. Light blue skies above. Comfortable temperature. So come on in for the Dodgers
00:07and the Twins. The final game of this three game series. We walk them inside. Two games for Glass now
00:13since coming off of the injured list. Both of them against the Brewers. A run over five innings in Milwaukee.
00:18Then a run over six innings on Friday against the Brewers.
00:21Last time he faced these Twins it was his fourth start with the Dodgers and it was a 14 strikeout
00:27no walk masterpiece in Minnesota last April. And he has killed right handed hitters. They are hitting 078. He's only
00:35facing four of those so far in this lineup. One coming up to the plate right now. Swing and a
00:41miss. Strike three. Elevated fastball and Buxton swung through it. We'll see about Glass now. The Dodgers have had some
00:47difficulty finding the strike zone last number of games. And for Glass now.
00:50One of the lower percentages of first pitch strikes of starting pitchers this year. Castro launches a ball to right
00:56center field. Hernandez on the run. Shire of the track gets there. And missing pitches that are in the zone.
01:03Rossi was headed towards the dugout. So was Glass now. And now they have to regroup. I mean those are
01:08two blatant misses. That is pushed in the air to right field. This should be routine for Hernandez. Came in.
01:15Lost his footing. Then had to go back. He recovered to make the catch for the final out.
01:20So it's a scoreless top of the first for Glass now. It's a familiar foe. Chris Paddock. The former San
01:25Diego Padre. Now with the Minnesota Twins.
01:28Ohtani has done something in this series that he's never done before in his career. It's hit home runs in
01:34four straight games.
01:35Everybody chasing big dumpers. Got 39.
01:38Shohan a good situation to have a fifth home run in five games in a row with the day game.
01:43High flat ball center field. Headed for the seats. Reaching them again.
01:50Fifth consecutive game of the Shohei home run.
01:54Home run number 37. Once again flashing the opposite field pop.
02:00And giving the Dodgers a 1-0 lead.
02:02Ties the franchise record. The home run in five games in a row.
02:068-9-1 for the Twins against Tyler Glashnot.
02:09Royce Lewis leads off.
02:11And Lewis pulls it in the air to left. Down the line. Deep in the corner.
02:14This one to the wall. And that is gone. A home run.
02:17And Royce Lewis back in Southern California.
02:20And ties up this game. In the third. It's 1-1.
02:24Royce Lewis for the second time. Gets Glashnot.
02:27He has a contagious smile. Energizes the team. The dugout.
02:31First overall pick of the Twins. More than a decade ago.
02:35Right here. Byron Buxton.
02:37Got him with a breaking pitch. Went back to that.
02:39So he went slider slider. High fastball.
02:42Kind of a waste pitch. Wasn't a competitive pitch.
02:44And then curveball.
02:45This is looped to right. That's going to fade and fall.
02:47The base hit for Castro.
02:49So the two out knock.
02:50And for the Twins today.
02:53I think two out hitting is vital.
02:55The Dodger bullpen is thin.
02:57It's banged up.
02:58And that's the final out of the third inning.
03:00So a two out base hit.
03:02Left on the bases by Tyler Glashnot.
03:04But the leadoff bomb from Lewis.
03:06Ties the game at one. In the middle of the third.
03:08The game time. Home run a moment ago.
03:10And now Chris Paddock to work.
03:11And a 1-1 game.
03:12Will face hitters 9-1 and 2.
03:14Outman Betts and Otani.
03:16And struck him out. 95.
03:18Fell tied.
03:19Paddock has struck out three of the last four.
03:22And so Paddock will face Otani.
03:23But the base is clear.
03:24And it is up and in.
03:26And it's a swing and miss. Strike three.
03:27Down goes Otani on strikes.
03:29Paddock fans a pair in a 1-2-3 third inning.
03:32And Chris Paddock has now retired eight consecutive Dodgers.
03:35Strong start to the fourth inning for Tyler Glasnow.
03:38Now Cody Clemens.
03:39He was the second strikeout victim of the afternoon.
03:41On the ground to second.
03:43Nifty play by Kim.
03:45Two out.
03:46Tyler throws the ball well.
03:48It doesn't get hit hard very often.
03:49But when it does it's really nice to have a fielder like Kim behind you.
03:53Glasnow ready.
03:54Here he comes.
03:55Got him with a fastball.
03:57Bookending case for Glasnow and a 1-2-3-4.
04:00Tyler Glasnow to face Matt Walters.
04:02Swing and a miss.
04:03Strike three.
04:04One gone in the fifth.
04:05Six K's.
04:06The third one on the fastball.
04:08The others with sinker, curveball and slider.
04:11Royce Lewis.
04:12And that's going to be a fair ball.
04:13That's going to find the side one.
04:16Lewis are on first base.
04:17On his way to second.
04:18And Pajas will fire.
04:19Not in time.
04:20So Lewis is two for two.
04:22A homer now a double.
04:23And the Twins have Royce in scoring position.
04:26As that smile dance moves on display here.
04:30All right.
04:30A key matchup coming right here in a 1-1 game in the fifth.
04:33Go ahead.
04:34Run at second with two out.
04:35And Byron Buxton coming up.
04:38Glasnow's gotten the better of him today.
04:40Striking him out swinging both times.
04:42There's a better curve to strike out Buxton.
04:45He's gotten them all three times swinging.
04:47Halfway home and tied at 1.
04:49Chris Paddock gave up a solo homer to Ohtani in the first.
04:52He's been really good ever since.
04:54One over the minimum face.
04:56Foul tip hung on to by Jeffers.
04:58Fastball 96.
05:00Go ahead.
05:00Run aboard.
05:01James Altman up.
05:02Paddock gives up a two out single.
05:04Nothing more.
05:05He's through five.
05:06Another good one going for Tyler Glass now.
05:08Tied at 1.
05:09He's got seven K's in this game.
05:11Got him.
05:12Number eight.
05:13Trevor Larnick.
05:14Did he go?
05:15He did.
05:16Back-to-back K's.
05:17Dope in the sixth and nine for the day.
05:20So now a 3-2 pitch.
05:22Called strike three.
05:24That was several inches inside off the plate.
05:27But Tyler Glass now will take it as he strikes out the side in the top of the sixth.
05:33Ten strikeouts for Glass now.
05:35One pitch, one out for Glass now in the seventh.
05:37Tyler Glass now is telling Dave Roberts he was good to go back to the mound as he nears 100
05:42pitches.
05:43And this is a really encouraging sign on a number of fronts for the Dodgers.
05:46Glass now will try again to get France.
05:48And he does.
05:50Strike three swinging.
05:51This one goes up to 11 for Tyler Glass now.
05:54As in 11 punch outs.
05:57Well, that's one of the best breaking balls he's thrown.
05:59That that started really in the upper part of the strike zone and wound up in the dirt.
06:03Here's the payoff.
06:04Got him!
06:0612 K's for Tyler Glass now.
06:09Sensational on this Wednesday afternoon.
06:12Back-to-back strikeouts to give him 12 in seven strong.
06:16Stanley Coulomb was on the pitch.
06:18We're in the bottom of the seventh of a 1-1 tie.
06:20Coulomb facing the lefty Freeman.
06:22Righty Pah Hess on deck.
06:23And then the lefty rushing.
06:24Coulomb has been brilliant.
06:261-0 with a .63 ERA.
06:28Flexed into left field.
06:30Sinking.
06:30Lead-off hit.
06:31Freddie Freeman.
06:32And that's how the day begins for the Minnesota bullpen.
06:35As Danny Coulomb has taken over for Chris Paddock.
06:38Andy Pah Hess.
06:40He's 0-2.
06:42Is ball four.
06:44Just missed the top of the zone.
06:46The first two Dodgers are on to begin the seventh.
06:49In the seventh inning.
06:50Two on.
06:51Only one out.
06:52And Louis Varlin is coming in to take over.
06:54So, Louis Varlin is getting news in all three games in this series.
06:58Had not given up a run since his first game in July prior to last night.
07:02But the Dodgers got two against him last night.
07:04A 3-1.
07:06Outside.
07:07Ball four.
07:08Load him up.
07:08Teams, this is the first real opportunity for either side like this tonight.
07:12Tommy Edmund.
07:13Bases loaded.
07:14Only one out.
07:15Game tied at one.
07:17Edmund cracks a base hit to right field.
07:20Station to station they go.
07:22Dodgers take the lead.
07:23And Tommy Edmund provides it.
07:25Tyler Glass now seven strong.
07:27Just one run on three hits.
07:29One walk.
07:30Twelve strikeouts.
07:31A new season high.
07:32He threw a career high.
07:33106 pitches.
07:3569 of them strikes.
07:37Now Kirby Yates has the ball.
07:39Trying to preserve a 2-1 lead.
07:41So, a walk.
07:41A stolen base.
07:42Another walk.
07:43A double steal.
07:44Another walk.
07:45The bases are loaded.
07:47Nobody is out.
07:47Twins down 2-1.
07:49And Dave Roberts is going to take the ball from a beleaguered Kirby Yates.
07:52Alex Vesey and his purple glove are out on the mound.
07:55Vesey a left-hander.
07:56Bases loaded.
07:57Nobody out.
07:58Willie Castro.
07:59The two-hitter.
07:59Browns on left side.
08:01Betts will go to second for one.
08:03Able to first.
08:04A double play.
08:05The Twins have tied it as Kiersey steps on home.
08:07So, Bader's been good as a pinch hitter.
08:09And when he's been a pinch hitter, he's been swinging early.
08:12High chopper over the mound on the grass.
08:14And Bader is going to be safe.
08:16And the Twins take the lead.
08:18Brooks Lee scores.
08:19And a high chopper over the mound.
08:22So, Bader indeed pushed the ball forward into play.
08:26And Lee scores.
08:27And the Twins have a 3-2 lead here in the eighth.
08:31First base is open.
08:32And they're going to intentionally walk Will Smith.
08:35Does Miguel Rojas take that personally?
08:38Bases loaded.
08:39Two outs in the home half of the eighth.
08:41The Dodgers behind 3-2.
08:43And Rojas has been one of the better hitters in this lineup of late.
08:47In back-to-back innings, the Dodgers leave them loaded.
08:50And this time, they get nothing.
08:523-2 Twins going to the ninth.
08:54Griffin Jacks has 15 career saves.
08:58None this season.
09:00Joe on Duran, two innings last night.
09:01So, Jacks has the chance for his first save today.
09:05As he has a one-run lead facing hitters 8-9 at 1.
09:08Ohtani to the on-deck circle.
09:10The Dodgers down to their final out.
09:12Up to bats.
09:13Try to keep their hopes alive.
09:15Tapper.
09:15Left side.
09:16He's got a shot.
09:17Here's the throw.
09:18Not in time.
09:21Shohei Ohtani gets his chance.
09:24Dodgers stadium to its feet.
09:27Asturi Ruiz is the on-deck hitter.
09:30Having pinch run for Teoscar Hernandez.
09:33If ever there's a time to intentionally walk the tying run into scoring position and the winning run on base,
09:39it's now.
09:40So, the Twins walk Ohtani and that moves the tying run into scoring position.
09:46Ohtani takes the bat out of Ohtani's hands.
09:49Puts the winning run on.
09:51But Asturi Ruiz, remember, not Teoscar Hernandez.
09:55That's at second, the tying run.
09:56Ohtani at first, the winning run.
09:58Can Asturi Ruiz be the guy to get him off of the deck?
10:02Ball four.
10:03Freddie Freeman will have a shot.
10:05Freeman has faced Jacks just one time.
10:09That's at third, the tying run.
10:10Ohtani at second, the winning run.
10:12Freeman runs about a left field.
10:15Bader can't get it.
10:16And the Dodgers win.
10:18Shades of October in July.
10:23Freddie Freeman, the hero.
10:25Down to their last breath.
10:27Hitter after hitter.
10:29After hitter.
10:30After hitter.
10:31Four consecutive two-out base runners.
10:35And the Dodgers steal a win in the bottom of the ninth to take the series.
10:39And the Twins still have not won a series of the Dodgers at this ballpark.
10:45Four-three Dodgers in walk-off fashion.
