00:04be electric there's been some
00:05bad blood dining between these
00:06two ball clubs but the bottom
00:08line as all eyes are on this
00:09series it's all about playing
00:10good baseball and some
00:12separation hopefully for the
00:13Padres in the standings against
00:14the Dodgers Clayton Kershaw is
00:16ready to take it for the
00:17Dodgers his fiftieth career
00:19start against San Diego and you
00:21factor in two in the postseason
00:23and it is a big one as he tries
00:25to get the Dodgers back into a
00:26tie for first place in the
00:28division to swing and a miss
00:30and a ball in the dirt Will
00:31Smith picks it up tags arise and
00:34there are two men out first
00:35strikeout of the night for
00:36Clayton Kershaw in his three
00:38thousand fifteenth of his career
00:41and now it is time for Manny
00:43Machado to be greeted here at
00:45Dodger Stadium in similar fashion
00:47that he always is he can feel
00:49the warm fires the two to home
00:51he got him swinging at a slider
00:53one two three go the Padres and
00:57Kershaw strikes out to the
00:59opener tonight he is Wandi
01:01Peralta in place of Michael
01:02King placed on the aisle look
01:04for him to go maybe four to six
01:06hitters tonight as Jackson
01:07Brown got kind of a late break
01:09coming on into the slide to make
01:11the catch he did not come in
01:13initially but recovers get that
01:15kind of speed and makes the grab
01:17route number two so Will Smith
01:19now swung on and missed strike
01:21three a one two three first for
01:23Peralta and he caps it with a K two
01:27ounce nobody on no score here at
01:29Dodger Stadium as Ramon Laureano
01:31stands in to get his first taste
01:33of this rivalry I don't hit a
01:35home run in the eleven to one
01:37Padre victory Wednesday
01:38afternoon in San Francisco it's a
01:41high fly ball this time down the
01:42left field line and it'll be a
01:45third ball and a home run had to
01:47wait and see it's gone Laureano
01:50connects on his eighteenth of the
01:51year wraps its way around the pole
01:53and the Padres take a one nothing
01:55lead just off the fair pole there
01:58thank you very much he had got
02:01very far from the box he was
02:02pretty sure it was going foul I
02:03thought it was too he was out in
02:04front of it that ball was hooking
02:06hooking hooking just enough
02:08Juan Peralta he did his job
02:09tonight now it's going to be
02:10Randy Vasquez coming in from the
02:12bullpen to suck up some innings
02:13for the Padres down here in the
02:15second inning Andy Paul has
02:16center fielder as he loses his
02:18bat and pops one up towards the
02:20Padre dugout for me and over the
02:22railing and then collided with the
02:24railing and dropped it and is now
02:26laying down kind of half on the
02:29field half in the camera well and he
02:32went full speed chest high stomach
02:35high into that railing there was no
02:37pull up in that play at all didn't
02:39look like he really did a flash look
02:40either no it was to be okay certainly
02:43they'll keep an eye on that as he
02:45goes back behind the dish you can't
02:46break the Furminator two outs nobody
02:48on in the second the one to the pie
02:50has swung on and missed strike three
02:51got him to chase some high cheese
02:53and Peralta and Vasquez combined to
02:56strike out the side it's a couple of
02:58starving hitters getting a bite here
03:00to open the third Conforto and
03:02Freeland setting the table and the
03:04Dodgers have set up shop first and
03:06second and nobody out let's see if
03:08Rojas is up there to sacrifice he's
03:11somebody that they asked to do that
03:12as much as anybody he's practiced it
03:14so much the last year plus pops it up
03:18diving try and it's off Machado and
03:20everybody's safe bases loaded nobody
03:24out and Ohtani coming up a break for
03:27Rojas and the Dodgers that this
03:29clanks he's got plenty of length he
03:31just doesn't get it in the glove all
03:34right baby bases loaded for Ohtani
03:36Vasquez throws Ohtani reaches out
03:39plays it to second corner with the
03:41second for one late to first and the
03:43game is tied Michael Conforto in the
03:45score on the ground out from Shohei
03:47Ohtani and it's 1-1 in the third yes
03:50they get the one out it is at second
03:52but the Dodgers have only one out on
03:54offense and a man on third so a chance
03:57to have an effective out right here
03:59with Mookie up and lead in this game
04:02Betts flies it to center field deep
04:05enough to give him the lead here comes
04:07Freeland Dodgers 2 Padres 1 sacrifice
04:11fly from Mookie Betts to put him in
04:13front Will Smith with Ohtani still at
04:16first base there goes Ohtani pitches
04:18strike Ohtani will be out at second
04:21base the Fulminator throws out Ohtani
04:24catches him trying to steal at second
04:26base one out one on Teoscar
04:28Hernandez well Teoscar is grounded
04:30into a nine a count of nine double
04:32plays rounded one towards third base
04:34Bandy Machado will go to second for
04:35one on to first that's two
04:37around the horn they go on the twin
04:39killing nicely done this guy's able to
04:41work his way around a walk thanks to
04:43inducing the double play only one hit
04:46for the Padres against Clayton
04:48Kershaw is a home run from this guy
04:50right here Ramon Laureano that's a
04:52high chopper left side of the mound
04:54field by Kershaw spins throws gets it
04:56to first just in time it's straight set
04:59down now by Clayton Kershaw that is
05:01agonizing when you're the fielder
05:03waiting and waiting and all the while
05:05you know the runner is running and
05:07running and running Jose Iglesias
05:09walked his first time up three two
05:11strike three call fastball right
05:14down the middle Iglesias out on
05:16strikes and that's the third
05:18strikeout tonight for Kershaw down
05:20here in the fifth inning for
05:22Michael Conforto swing a miss he
05:24struck him out strike out for Randy
05:27Vasquez two down here in the fifth
05:28inning this was one of the better
05:30curveballs that Randy Vasquez has
05:32thrown wow two down here in the fifth
05:34inning for Alex Freeland and he takes
05:36strike three right at the bottom of
05:37the zone back to back K's for Randy
05:40Vasquez in a one two three fifth
05:43inning time run at first one gone in
05:45the sixth Luis Arise coming up he's
05:47over two tonight he's now over eleven
05:49in his career against Kershaw
05:50complete his third consecutive start of
05:52six innings pitch allowing one run or
05:55the second there's one the Dodgers
06:07trailing the Padres in the division
06:09suddenly handing the ball to the
06:11veteran lefty six dazzling innings
06:14tonight through down here in the
06:15seventh Jackson Merrill hopefully
06:17that lightsaber of his will do some
06:19damage here lying down the right
06:21field line that is a fair ball hit
06:23right into the right field corner
06:24Jackson Merrill is headed for second
06:25base at least as Hernandez digs it
06:28out it's a two out double for
06:29Jackson Merrill here in the seventh
06:31inning so the two out chance
06:32belongs to Laureano who Mike
06:34Schilt says has been in the middle
06:36of everything in his two weeks with
06:38the team tie and run at second two
06:40gone seventh inning flag to center
06:42field no big deal for Pajas score
06:44this top of the seventh Ben
06:46Casparias one down in the seventh
06:48the Oscar Hernandez 0 for 2 scotted
06:51to center field Merrill's going back
06:53he's at the wall there is the
06:55insurance say Oscar Hernandez an
06:58opposite field blast and it's three
07:01to one meet it solid with a strong
07:04swing he doesn't over swing here at
07:06all he keeps his balance he gets on
07:08top of this pitch he supplies some
07:10power and so does this fastball
07:12that's the first home run that
07:14Jeremiah Estrada has given up since
07:16June 17th when he gave one up right
07:19here two hit batsmen and a walk
07:21load the bases for San Diego with
07:23one out so without the benefit of a
07:25base hit the Padres have loaded the
07:28bases here in the eighth inning
07:29tying on at second go ahead run
07:31aboard Louisa rise to the plate
07:33rise to left field and call moves
07:36over to make the catch and scoring
07:40is Iglesias on the sack fly it's a
07:42one run game now three to two as a
07:45rise with a sacrifice fly it's the
07:47the Padres a little closer comes
07:49Dave Roberts with Manny Machado
07:51coming up next trying to ready to
07:53go in the pen looks like he's
07:54going to go get him run in the
07:55bank time run at second go ahead
07:57run at first first pitch pop up
08:00short left field that's calling
08:02he's there that's the lot of
08:05tension lot of drama and a first
08:07pitch pop out for Machado Jack
08:10Dreyer looking for the 27th out of
08:12this game looking for the second
08:13save of his rookie year it's the
08:15platoon advantage right here over a
08:17pinch hitting Ryan O'Hearn tying run
08:19at first go ahead run at the plate
08:21two gone in the ninth inning a
08:22tribute to Ted Nugent I've had
08:25stranglehold as my walk-up song like
08:27my entire major league career and
08:29just a big fan of Ted and I thought
08:31the bat king did an awesome job on
08:33his face and I think it looks
08:35awesome so hopefully this one stays in
08:37one piece and maybe I can send it to
08:39Ted and get him to sign it for me or
08:41something so this is probably my
08:42favorite this year we'll see what
08:44Ted Nugent you can do for him here
08:45as you catch hits against Jack
08:47Dreyer here in the ninth with two
08:48down lift the descent and field
08:50Dean is there the Dodgers are back
08:53in first they've taken the first
08:55game of this highly anticipated
08:57matchup with the Padres the first
08:59of six over ten days goes the way
09:02of the Dodgers
