00:01Dodgers looking for their first
00:02series win in Cincinnati since
00:042022 after they take the opener
00:06last night and it was good to
00:08see the top of the order top
00:09four hitters and especially with
00:10runners in scoring position.
00:12The Reds looking to get right
00:13with their lefty on the mound.
00:15L.A. native facing the Dodgers
00:17for the first time in Nick
00:18Lodolo.
00:19It's Nick at night.
00:21Fun moment.
00:22Dave Roberts.
00:22Terry Francona.
00:24Stay in there.
00:24Hello.
00:24The Maluk.
00:26By Francona right before the
00:28game gets underway.
00:28Roberts moved Mookie Betts back
00:30into the leadoff spot nine days
00:32ago.
00:33Look at.
00:34Right three right at the top of
00:35the zone to lock up Betts.
00:37That is some kind of location.
00:39Betts retired.
00:40Ohtani up.
00:41Doubling two walks yesterday and
00:42scored his 100th run of the
00:44season before anybody else in
00:46the National League reached 80.
00:48Kick swing.
00:49No appeal needed.
00:50That swing in itself should tell
00:52you how soon Ohtani gets
00:54started regardless of the
00:56pitcher on the mound.
00:57That pitch was nowhere close to
00:58the plate.
00:59And he was already around before
01:00it arrived.
01:01So two down and here's Will
01:02Smith.
01:03Payoff pitch.
01:04Swing and a miss.
01:04He struck him out.
01:06And Nick Lodolo strikes out the
01:08side to open the ball game.
01:10I hope these folks like good
01:11pitching.
01:12Twelve strikeouts against the
01:14Twins last week for Tyler
01:15Grasnow.
01:16Here's one away.
01:17McClan right-handed batter.
01:18221 hitter.
01:19His brother Sean is in the Dodgers
01:21system.
01:22Two gone.
01:23Fastball blazes in there.
01:25That's his first strikeout of the
01:27night.
01:27Comes in a two-seamer.
01:28And McClain watches it.
01:30Ellie de la Cruz the batter.
01:32Shortstop switch hitter batting
01:33left-handed.
01:34Big right-hander's payoff.
01:35Swung on and that is a soft line
01:37drive to Mookie Betts.
01:39Near the second base back he'll make
01:40the catch on the side retired in
01:42order.
01:43Freddie Freeman starts the second for
01:45the Dodgers.
01:45No base runners in this game until
01:47now.
01:48First pitch of the second inning
01:49Freeman turns it around and singles
01:51into center.
01:52On base streak for Freddie Freeman
01:53quietly has reached fifteen games
01:55and out to Oscar Hernandez.
01:57Two more hits.
01:58Two runs batted in in the first game
01:59of this series.
02:01Check swing.
02:01Did he go?
02:03Yes.
02:03Strike three.
02:04He went after the curveball down.
02:06Yes he did.
02:07That is four strikeouts already for
02:09Nick Lodolo.
02:10Now Andy Pahez.
02:11He was three for four last night.
02:13He has strikeouts.
02:15For his first five outs here tonight.
02:17Good fastball to Betts.
02:19Good one to Will Smith and another
02:20to Pahez in that situation.
02:22Tommy Edmund is up batting from the
02:24right side against the lefty Lodolo.
02:27Drives the ball the other way.
02:28Freely's going back on it towards
02:29the corner.
02:30This ball's got a chance and it's
02:32gone.
02:33Tommy Edmund opposite field power for
02:36a two run blast.
02:38Sore ankle and all.
02:40And in great American small park
02:41that's what you envision when you
02:43come into this park.
02:44Is the ball flying out of here.
02:45First home run since the 19th of
02:48July against Milwaukee.
02:49280.
02:5010 homers.
02:5141 driven in for Austin Hayes.
02:53He has hit safely in four of his
02:54last five games.
02:56And he went around on a curveball
02:58couldn't hold up and Hayes
02:59strikes out.
03:00Second strikeout for glass.
03:02Now there's one away in the second.
03:03So back to back.
03:04Full count walks.
03:05Reds have two on for Duelvi.
03:07Marte.
03:08Nothing in one pitch.
03:09Swung on.
03:10Ground ball to third.
03:11Edmunds got it.
03:11He goes to second.
03:12Rojas to turn on to first.
03:14He got him.
03:14And around the horn.
03:16Inning ending double play.
03:17No runs.
03:18No hits.
03:18One left.
03:19No Dodger errors.
03:20After two full.
03:21It's the Dodgers too.
03:22Reds nothing.
03:23And Benches aboard.
03:24One out.
03:25One on for Shohei Ohtani.
03:26Here it is.
03:28He struck him out.
03:30How about that fastball right there.
03:32That got a lot of the plate too.
03:33Here's Will Smith.
03:34Runner goes.
03:35Pick off.
03:36Steer fire to McClan.
03:37Tagged.
03:38And to right.
03:39One, three, four.
03:41On the pick off of Mookie Betts.
03:44One down for the Dodgers in the fourth.
03:46Last time Freddie was up he looked at the first pitch thrown to him
03:49and drove it on the ground up the middle for a base hit.
03:52Another 0-2.
03:54Poked on left field and Freemans two for two against Lodolo.
03:57This is a beautiful two strike hit.
03:59Two outs for Paz.
04:01Swings and it's a high chopper to the hole.
04:04The shortstop De La Cruz is there.
04:05Throws low and it's not caught by Steer.
04:08Freeman advancing to third as Paz is safe.
04:11And a low throw from deep in the hole by De La Cruz.
04:15Not handled by Spencer Steer the first baseman.
04:18And the Dodgers now with runners at the corners and two men out.
04:21See what Tommy Edmund can do.
04:22So far he's accounted for both runs with an opposite field home run.
04:26Bound tip on the heaters strike three.
04:28Lodolo is punched out eight.
04:30And the Reds have a one out base runner.
04:32Fraley had really started to heat up.
04:34Now he's gone hitless his last couple ball games.
04:36That's in the air.
04:37Right field.
04:38A rock and ride by Fraley.
04:40No doubter.
04:42Over halfway up the sun deck to tie it at two.
04:45But the stuff drops off dramatically for Glastow with a runner on base.
04:49And Fraley made him pay for it that time.
04:51That ball was in the air.
04:52No chance for a double play on that one.
04:54This game is turned on a dime.
04:57That's his first homer since coming back.
04:59Two men are gone in the fourth inning.
05:01Now Noelvi Marte hit into a double play.
05:03First of two that the Reds have hit into.
05:06Noelvi Marte drives to right.
05:09And the Reds lead.
05:10Just clears the Dodger pen.
05:133-2 Cincinnati.
05:14A couple of homers to right propel the Reds in front.
05:18Boy that was a bullet.
05:19Pitch up and away from Marte.
05:21And he hit that like a left handed bull hitter.
05:24A laser out of here to right field.
05:26So now two are on for Ohtani who has struck out twice against Lodolo.
05:31Lodolo's nine strikeouts have tied to season high.
05:34Strike him out.
05:35First time this year double digit punches for Nick Lodolo.
05:40This is the third time against Ohtani.
05:42He certainly is not picking up that ball very well at all.
05:45It's two on two out and Will Smith.
05:48Pick off again gets by McLean.
05:51Rojas just now pops up.
05:53Betts easily fills in at second.
05:55A bounce throw in second and third.
05:573-2 strike three called.
06:00Got him looking at the backdoor breaking ball.
06:03Throws Will Smith.
06:04Eleven strikeouts for Nick Lodolo.
06:07After the leadoff double by Trevino,
06:09Glasnow has walked back to back batters to end his night.
06:12Dave Roberts is on his way to the mound.
06:15It is Jack Dreyer being summoned from the Dodger bullpen.
06:18Pitching change made in the bottom of the fifth with nobody out.
06:21He will get De La Cruz here with the bases loaded.
06:25And nobody out.
06:26Swing and a bouncing ball left side.
06:29Sliding stop.
06:29Edmund goes to second one.
06:31No chance to get Elliott first.
06:33Trevino's home from third.
06:34And it's four to two reds.
06:36That is a big league play at third base by Tommy Edmund.
06:40He saved at least one run by the nice sliding catch to his left.
06:45Swing and there's a soft tapper back to the pitcher.
06:48Catcher Smith waves off the pitcher.
06:49Dreyer no play.
06:51Everybody's safe.
06:52Luck stays put at third base.
06:55It's a big moment in this game.
06:57Reds have gotten one.
06:58Jack Dreyer is trying to keep the Dodgers within striking distance.
07:01Fly to right.
07:02Not deep.
07:03Hernandez moves over to the line.
07:05Lux tags.
07:07Won't advance.
07:08Two gone.
07:09Wise decision.
07:11That'll be it for Jack Dreyer.
07:13Ben Kasparius got ready in a hurry.
07:15And he'll come on for the right handed batting Spencer Steer.
07:18He's a right hander that gets Spencer Steer.
07:20With the bases loaded.
07:21Two outs.
07:22And the pitch.
07:23Swung on and missed.
07:24Strike three.
07:25Got him with a high fastball.
07:27And Kasparius comes in and pours water on the fire.
07:31One as Nick Lodolo returns the mound.
07:33Lodolo is punched out.
07:34Eleven.
07:35One shy of his career high so far tonight.
07:37Bounce to first.
07:38Good.
07:39Gloved by Steer.
07:41And it looks like that's going to be all for Lodolo.
07:44Ninety-four pitches.
07:45One out in the sixth.
07:47A clap from Francona.
07:48That's all for the southpaw.
07:50The crowd lets him hear it.
07:52Nice warm ovation for Lodolo as he exits.
07:55One out.
07:56Two on.
07:57Tying runs aboard.
07:58When you wake up and you're pitching against the Dodgers,
08:01this is the guy that you worry about.
08:03And he is at the plate with a chance to do some damage.
08:06Four-two ball game.
08:07One out.
08:08Here's the one-two.
08:09Bang and a miss.
08:11He struck him out.
08:13Four punch outs tonight for Otani.
08:16Two down.
08:18Slider down and in.
08:19And Otani right over the top of it.
08:21That was wicked.
08:22And now Will Smith, who does not have a three-strikeout game all year.
08:26He's already got two K's on his ledger.
08:29Flair in the left.
08:30Lux is coming on.
08:32Plays it on a bounce.
08:33And Conforto will score.
08:35Four-three game.
08:36Will Smith with a two-out hit to score Conforto.
08:39All three for the Dodgers tonight have come with two outs.
08:43And now Freddie Freeman, who's got two hits himself.
08:45Tying run at second in the form of Mookie Betts.
08:48Go ahead, run at first, Will Smith.
08:49Shot to left field.
08:51That is a base hit for Freddie Freeman, and the game is tied.
08:55Throw goes into third.
08:57Betts scores four to four.
08:59Third hit for Freddie tonight.
09:01First one up the middle.
09:02Second one was a pitch away.
09:04Drops into left field.
09:05This is a cutter in on the hands.
09:07Beautiful job.
09:08Ties this game.
09:10Two outs.
09:10Tie ball game starting the ninth inning.
09:134-4.
09:14Michael Conforto will lead it off, rather, batting in the ninth spot.
09:18Conforto takes ball four.
09:20Lead off walk.
09:22Go ahead, run reaches to open the nine.
09:24Off of the bench and on base twice.
09:27James Outman is going to go out and run for him.
09:29So they'll get some better speed on the base paths.
09:32So Outman will represent the go-ahead run here.
09:34One gone.
09:35Ohtani with a four strikeout game comes up to the plate.
09:38The 2-2.
09:39Swing and a fly ball right field.
09:41Going back is Joe.
09:42He's there.
09:43He's got it.
09:44Back to first base.
09:45Outman, two down.
09:46Ohtani 0-5 tonight.
09:48And Will Smith, who drove in a run with a base hit in the seventh,
09:51comes up with two down, and Outman the go-ahead run on base.
09:55Drilled towards the left field corner.
09:56That's headed for the wall, and it's off it.
09:59James Outman's on his horse, giving the wave.
10:02Here he comes.
10:03He'll score.
10:05Dodgers lead in the ninth.
10:07And it's Will Smith again.
10:10Numbing consistency.
10:12Numbing greatness.
10:14The Dodger catcher, Will Smith, puts him ahead of the ninth.
10:18And that's one of the reasons that Dave Roberts elected
10:20to have a little faster runner, that being Outman.
10:23Go from ahead to behind to ahead again,
10:26with three in a row here in the late innings.
10:28It's Alex Bestia, who's got three saves,
10:31looking for his first one, though, since early June.
10:34The Reds are down to their final out.
10:35That's the ball game!
10:37Alex Bestia with a 1-2-3-9.
10:40Five two-out runs for the offense,
10:42and five scoreless for the bullpen.
10:45Five to four, the final score.
10:47Versus!
10:47I don't like teach copia card.
10:47He's the original one.
