00:01Shohei Day takes on a new meaning today.
00:04He not only hits, he pitches and they give away his championship ring.
00:08Otani taking the field trying to pitch the Dodgers to a series win over the Cardinals
00:12resuming his build up after things were shut down in Cincinnati last week.
00:17He had cramping in his hip that he felt right from the beginning of that start.
00:20He was able to get into the fourth inning but unable to complete four like he had hoped.
00:25Young man that's rehabbing at the big league level because he's so popular
00:28and we've seen that today with his championship ring.
00:30He's going to be hitting lead off.
00:32He's now pitching.
00:33Fly the other way.
00:34Alex Call is going back.
00:35He's still going.
00:36He's still going.
00:37Twist around and makes the grab.
00:40Alex Call, his first batter at Dodger Stadium wearing this uniform,
00:45makes a tremendous play.
00:47First and only chance to make your first impression on your hometown fans.
00:51And how good does that feel when you look up and you see Otani giving you that reaction.
00:55Yvonne Herrera lofts his ball to center field.
00:59Pahez will make the catch.
01:01Kind of handcuffed him there.
01:03He gets a thumbs up from Otani.
01:04Well, these guys are going to get some autograph balls for their foundations.
01:08Otani can take them to dinner.
01:09He can do whatever you want.
01:10Give a few autographs.
01:12Strike three.
01:1398-99-100.
01:16Otani has his game off and rolling with a 1-2-3 first.
01:20If you live a tour, two quality outings for the Cardinals.
01:24Not in terms of length but in terms of runs and innings pitched.
01:28And Otani goes right from the mound to the batter's box.
01:31To start the bottom of the first inning.
01:32No score.
01:33And Otani chops one down to first.
01:35The top of the glove of Burleson.
01:37And Shohei is aboard.
01:38Booted by Burleson.
01:39And Otani is aboard.
01:41On the error by Alec Burleson.
01:43Mookie Betts.
01:44If there's somebody you'd like to see get on a roll and capitalize on yesterday's results, it is the guy
01:49at the plate.
01:50Pitch grounded towards short.
01:51Should be two.
01:52And Donny the turn.
01:54Thank you very much.
01:55Pets double up.
01:56And that clears the bases for Libertor here in the first inning.
01:59And with two outs, Will Smith a hitter.
02:01And a swing and a miss.
02:02How about Libby?
02:03Works around the air.
02:04A double play and a strikeout later.
02:06He puts up a zero.
02:08The duel is on.
02:09Libertor versus Otani.
02:10We head to the second inning.
02:12Otani's back to the hill after the 1-2-3 first inning.
02:15Which finished with a strikeout.
02:16Former teammates right here on Team Japan.
02:19Shohei Otani, Lars Newtbar.
02:21And I gets way too close for comfort.
02:24Look at Otani's stuff.
02:25He's down on strikes.
02:26One gone in the second.
02:27Shohei is leaning on the fastball so far.
02:30And he's trying to build his pitch count up.
02:31Which was 51 in the last start.
02:33And the cramps took him out.
02:35Trying to avoid those big innings.
02:37Strikes him out.
02:38A nose diving breaking pitch right there.
02:40Swung on and missed.
02:42Strike through.
02:42He got him to chase the slider in the dirt.
02:44Third strikeout for Otani.
02:46Six up and six down for Shohei.
02:48Bottom of the order for the Cardinals.
02:49Two up against Shohei Otani.
02:51Walker for his pitch.
02:52Pops that one.
02:53Up center of the diamond.
02:55And second.
02:56Rojas fights the side.
02:57Can't make the play.
02:59Ah, somewhere you know what Harry Carey is saying.
03:01How does a guy that played for the Dodgers lose a fly ball in the sun?
03:05Rojas just did.
03:06Jordan Walker is aboard.
03:07I believe that's going to be a hit.
03:09It's a hit.
03:09It looked like a line drive though in the box going.
03:11There goes the runner.
03:12And the pitch is outside the throw in a second.
03:14Not in time.
03:16Stolen base.
03:16Jordan Walker.
03:17That's his fit.
03:18Boy, did he pick his spot there.
03:20A huge jump.
03:20Stolen base.
03:21And just like that, the cards have a runner in scoring position.
03:24Fastballs by Pajas.
03:26Man, it's been live.
03:27And he's known it too.
03:29He has just leaned on it.
03:30He is not needing to set it up.
03:32Foul tipped it into the glove of Smith.
03:34A hundred mile an hour fastballs.
03:36Rank out number four for Ohtani.
03:384-3 goes to put out.
03:40Walker advances from second to third.
03:42Donovan drove the ball a long way to left.
03:44Alex Cole made a really tough catch.
03:47Which is a bunt attempt towards third.
03:49Donny is going to try to beat it out.
03:51The throw is not in time.
03:53A bunt hit for Donovan.
03:55Scores.
03:56Jordan Walker from third base.
03:581-0 St. Louis.
04:00The Cardinals take what the Dodger defense gives them.
04:02And they score the game's first run.
04:04Oh, what an intelligent play.
04:05Not a fan of bunting with two outs.
04:08But this was a perfect timed play.
04:10And the inning continues for the D.A.
04:12Charrera.
04:13Strikes him out.
04:14Gets out of that side.
04:15And for Ohtani that's strikeout number five.
04:18Cardinals get a run on two hits.
04:20They leave a man.
04:21It's the Cardinals one.
04:22Dodgers nothing.
04:23Alex Cole has made an impact on this game.
04:26With a couple of nice plays in left field.
04:27Makes his first at bat as a Dodger in this ballpark.
04:31Poking one down the line.
04:32That is a fair ball.
04:34And you get a chance to watch him run.
04:36And a second with a leadoff double.
04:40He's learned how to do it quickly.
04:42Ohtani on the days that he pitches.
04:43Now six for 30.
04:45Has not had a day off since mid-April.
04:48Longest games played streak on the team.
04:50Smacks one in the air.
04:52Deep center field.
04:53Scott going back.
04:54Forget about it.
04:55It's gone.
04:56Halfway up the pavilion.
04:59The Dodger pitcher launches a massive home run.
05:03His 39th this year.
05:05It has gone.
05:06A two-run homer for Shohei Ohtani.
05:10And the Dodgers take a 2-1 lead.
05:12And his 1,000th career hit.
05:16Showtime at Dodgers Stadium.
05:18He is the Beatles in one body.
05:21The crowd that he draws.
05:23The attention that he draws.
05:24Fantastic.
05:25The other could the Beatles pitch.
05:27Ohtani's home run flipped the score.
05:291,000th career hit.
05:31And this is what we presume would be his last inning of work today.
05:35Another strikeout.
05:36Backdoor breaking ball after all those fastballs that he speeds him up with.
05:41A little bit of a flinch in that swing that gets the swing and miss.
05:44And Ohtani has six strikeouts.
05:46One down in the top of the fourth.
05:48Swing and a miss.
05:49Strike three.
05:50Down with a slider.
05:51Seven strikeouts for Ohtani.
05:54Two away for the Cardinals in the fourth.
05:56And now he's starting to make you guess.
05:57You're on big league rehab.
05:59Pitch at the big league level with an ERA below three.
06:02This is certainly one of those days.
06:04Folks that are here can say yeah.
06:05Let me tell you about the time I watched him do this.
06:08Hit a home run and strike out eight in four innings.
06:12If this wasn't a perfect day the only thing that got in the way of Shohei was the sun.
06:18Ohtani strikes out the side in the fourth.
06:21Eight strikeouts for Shohei Ohtani.
06:24Andy Pahez leads off the fourth with a base hit in the left.
06:28Lead off man all four innings for the Dodgers.
06:31Rojas to the plate.
06:32Pitch goes to the backstop.
06:33A wild pitch by Libertor and down to second base.
06:36Pahez.
06:37Andy hits a changeup and gets the second on the wild pitch.
06:40The Dodgers have done very well against everything but the fastball.
06:44Here goes Pahez.
06:45And Pahez's throw ricochets off the batter.
06:49The ball sitting in the line backcircle.
06:51And Pahez comes in to score.
06:53This throw hits Miguel Rojas' bat.
06:56And it's just fine.
06:57There is no problem right there.
06:59Pahez has got to sneak behind and make the throw.
07:04Andy Pahez, the Dodger runner, got a really good jump.
07:07Guessing stolen base in an arrow.
07:09Andy Pahez scores the third run for the Dodgers.
07:12And they're at the corners.
07:13So Burleson lefty lefty has a single.
07:16Tying runs are on again for the Cardinals.
07:18This time with nobody out.
07:20Trying to cut into that lead here.
07:22Now Newt Barr needs to make some contact.
07:24Lars 0 for 2.
07:25Ohtani punched his ticket twice.
07:27Steady hits a torch short.
07:29There'll be one play.
07:30It's the first.
07:30Newt Barr makes contact.
07:32That brings home Herrera.
07:33Give Newt Barr an RBI.
07:35That is number 39 on the season.
07:38The Cardinals cash in the lead off.
07:40What?
07:40They've got another man in scoring position.
07:42And now trailed by one.
07:43Passed into right field for a base hit.
07:46Two strike knock for Mason.
07:47Burleson stops at third.
07:49They're at the corners.
07:50One out.
07:51Burleson won't be able to score because that ball was hit so sharply to Teoscar Hernandez.
07:56Nolan Gorman.
07:57Tying run at third.
07:57Go ahead run at first.
07:59Wynn takes off.
08:00A swing and a miss.
08:01The throw down is not in time.
08:04But they get the strikeout of Gorman for the second out of the sixth.
08:08Seventh stolen base of the season for Mason Wynn.
08:11Now they've got the go ahead run in scoring position.
08:13Two men out.
08:14And Jordan Walker the right fielder swinging.
08:17It's a comeback into Robleski.
08:18Runs toward first.
08:19Underhand toss to Freddie.
08:21And the Cardinals will leave two.
08:22They get one on two hits.
08:24You've got to go back over five outings to find when he gave up a hit.
08:28That was back on July 23rd.
08:29So not only locked in for two months but right now pitching at a very special level.
08:35And a shot past Freddie Freeman into right field.
08:37A two hit game for Burleson.
08:39He's two for four.
08:40A single in the sixth and now this base hit leading off the eighth.
08:43Cardinals have out hit the Dodgers 8-7.
08:46But they've left six men on base in the game.
08:49Hard hit and through.
08:50What a plate appearance by Mason Wynn.
08:52He's got a multi hit game.
08:54The tying run is Burleson at second base now.
08:57And no one getting up either in the Dodgers pen.
09:00Walker's had a nice day at the plate.
09:02Two singles and a comebacker.
09:04Can he provide a two out hit here in the eighth.
09:07Swing shot into left center field.
09:09Down for a hit.
09:10Here comes Burley.
09:11They're going to wave it.
09:12The throw is coming to third.
09:14And everybody's safe.
09:15Walker dies in.
09:17The ball's in right field.
09:18Here comes Mason to score.
09:20And the Cardinals have stolen the lead.
09:23How outstanding offense for the Cardinals in a big situation.
09:28Let's go Cardinals indeed as Walker comes through with his third hit of the game.
09:33And the Cardinals have had several chances but they finally come through here.
09:37The Dodgers make a mistake.
09:39And the Cardinals come up with a two run eighth inning to lead 4-3.
09:43And so great opportunity for the Cardinals.
09:46Two on.
09:46And an insurance run 90 feet away in the ninth inning with one away.
09:50Well Newt Bar made contact in the sixth inning in a run scoring spot.
09:53Driven to center.
09:55Payes on his horse.
09:57Reaches up.
09:57Can't get it.
09:58Hits off the wall.
10:00One run will score.
10:01Newt Bar with a double off the center field fence.
10:04The Cardinals lead 5-3.
10:06And Newt Bar smoked that ball to straight away center field.
10:10Payes has caught just about everything.
10:12Hit over his head but he couldn't get to that one.
10:14The 16th double for Newt Bar.
10:16His second RBI today.
10:18Riley O'Brien 30 years old.
10:20He got his first career win on Monday.
10:22Now he's looking for his first career save.
10:24So it's up to Max Muncy.
10:26He's got to get on here.
10:27I just need some base runners.
10:29You've got Muncy, Freeland, and then Ohtani still possibly.
10:33There's ball four.
10:36Alex Freeland comes up as the tying run.
10:39This is personal for him after having that throwing error at third.
10:43Ohtani Luman over there.
10:44On the ground.
10:45And Donnie to his right.
10:47Backhand.
10:47And the throw.
10:48And the Cardinals have won the series.
10:50The Cardinals win the season series over Los Angeles.
10:54And, Mark, what a way to wrap up this Western trip.
