00:01The final game of this three-game weekend series between the Padres and the Dodgers and the Pods will take
00:06the field here this afternoon trying to avoid a sweep.
00:09For Glasnow, his 12th start in spite of a record of 1-1, the last six starts since July 9th.
00:16While he's 0-1 in that stretch, his ERA just 2.34.
00:21Swing and a miss, strike three on a slider, and that's how Glasnow's day begins with a strikeout of Fernando
00:28Tatis Jr.
00:29That's a nasty slider, and Fernando way out in front of that one.
00:32Down in the first four, Luis Arise lifts it to left center field.
00:37Well placed.
00:38It's a gapper to the track of the wall as Arise heads to second base with a double.
00:43This is his doubles go.
00:44Absolutely, and he squared this one up.
00:47And for Luis Arise, he gives it a ride.
00:49One down, Arise in scoring position at second base.
00:52Here's Manny Machado.
00:53Glasnow ready, now the 1-2.
00:56Slider outside corner, got him.
00:58He called, strike three.
01:00Machado is in utter disbelief, staring at Jeremy Rahack.
01:05Strikeout number two for Glasnow.
01:07Both of them have come on a slider.
01:09Left-handed batter, Jackson Merrill.
01:12Strike three, call.
01:13He throws a slider right down the middle.
01:16So Glasnow strikes out three with a double mixed in.
01:19Hugh Darvish, the former Dodger, on the mound today for the Padres.
01:22First and foremost, tame the top of the order like we talked about in our open.
01:27And it starts with Shohei Ohtani.
01:28And he'll swing and rip it to right field.
01:30A base hit.
01:31Lead-off single for Ohtani.
01:33He's been on base now in 15 straight games.
01:35Well, a lot away from there.
01:36He just hooked around it.
01:37He's so quick and so powerful.
01:39He makes it look real easy.
01:41Yesterday, the Dodgers took advantage of four first-inning walks.
01:44Just one hit.
01:45That was enough to put up a crooked number against Dylan Cease.
01:49Ohtani takes off.
01:50Another payoff pitch is inside.
01:52And that's ball four.
01:53The first two Dodgers have reached against Darvish.
01:56Well, yesterday they were reaching early with walks from Dylan Cease.
02:00Now they get one hit and one walk to build this so far.
02:04Still first and second.
02:05Now one out.
02:05Freddie Freeman to the plate.
02:07One for six.
02:07The first two games against the Padres with a walk on an 0-2 from Darvish.
02:11Freeman takes the ball to right center field.
02:14Going back toward the wall.
02:16It is gone!
02:18Freddie Freeman halfway up the pavilion.
02:21A little different than Saturday night.
02:23But Sunday produces a three-run first.
02:26He's only had five hits in his last eight games.
02:30Well, this sixth hit in the ninth game is a big one.
02:34Darvish has had three good starts in a row.
02:36But what he's doing is he doesn't get the swing and miss as much.
02:39He's been getting more weak contact.
02:42Well, so far he's had four guys to two strikes.
02:45And three of the four have reached.
02:47This first inning has been any indication.
02:50Andy Pias has you, Darvish, where he wants him.
02:52Behind two strikes.
02:53Exactly.
02:54Now Pajos hammers a ball to left field in deep.
02:57Laureano turns and watches another one fly.
03:01Andy Pajos with number 20 on the season.
03:03Another two-strike hit for the Dodgers.
03:06Another run for the Dodgers.
03:08Four's if.
03:10Darvish slowed him down and taught him what he wanted to get him out with,
03:13which was breaking balls.
03:14This is the third one in a row.
03:16Just spins right there in the middle of the plate.
03:18Andy out in front of it.
03:20But the pencil put some lead into it.
03:23We don't walk here for Freeland to be in thing.
03:26Second walk allowed by Darvish.
03:27As he gets ready to face Ohtani for the second time today.
03:31In the air to left field down the line.
03:33Laureano to the corner.
03:36Almost overran it.
03:37But he makes the catch lunging back.
03:40And back to first goes Freeland.
03:42Laureano racing over there.
03:44But he comes back.
03:45And he makes the catch.
03:47Boy, that was close.
03:48But it wasn't pretty.
03:50But he gets the job done.
03:52The off-walk starts things here in the third inning for the Padres.
03:55It's Freddy Fermin.
03:56Two efficient innings to start the day.
03:58The Padres, bottom of the order, making him work.
04:00It's swung on.
04:01Hit in the air to deep right center field.
04:03Long run for Pias.
04:04He will not get it.
04:05It's off the wall.
04:07Cronenworth around second on his way to third.
04:09Play at second.
04:10He's out.
04:11Pias throws him out from the warning track.
04:13As Fermin tries to stretch a single to a double.
04:17Absolutely perfect throw.
04:19Cronenworth at third with one out.
04:21Here's Fernando.
04:22And he struck out swinging in the first inning.
04:24He was on a slider.
04:25Fernando drives this towards right center field.
04:27That'll be a gapper.
04:29From third comes Cronenworth as Tatis heads to second base.
04:32Got himself an RBI double.
04:34Padres are on the board here in the third inning.
04:36Padre hitters going about glass now the right way.
04:39Opposite field.
04:40Fermin off the wall.
04:42Throwing out at second.
04:44Fernando going the opposite way.
04:45Merrill is 0 for 1.
04:47Struck out looking on a well-placed slider by Glasnow in the first.
04:501-2.
04:51Swing and a miss.
04:52Got him with a slider.
04:53Second time Merrill has struck out.
04:55And that's strikeout number 5 in the game for Tyler Glasnow.
04:59Ryan O'Hearn left-handed hitting first baseman is up.
05:02Two down bases empty.
05:03Strike three called.
05:04A sinker that caught plenty of play to the inner half.
05:07And O'Hearn goes down on strike.
05:10Six strikeouts for Glasnow through four innings of work.
05:13Ramon Laureano leads off against Tyler Glasnow.
05:16Dodgers with a 4-1 lead as we open this fifth inning.
05:19Sending the fly ball to right field.
05:21Hernandez headed back.
05:22Still going under the warning track.
05:23Got the wall.
05:24That ball is up off the top and gone.
05:27Home run for Laureano.
05:28He gets his 19th.
05:30Hunter's getting a little closer.
05:31It's now 4-2.
05:33Well this is something we've seen quite a bit.
05:35The short time that Ramon has been in a Padre uniform.
05:39Getting the fastball.
05:40Getting on top of it.
05:41And going the opposite field.
05:42Oh yeah.
05:43He's got popped that way too.
05:44All of a sudden you've got the tying run here at the plate for the Padres.
05:47Two down for Luis Arise.
05:49A double in the first to the gap in left center.
05:52Fly ball.
05:53Right field down the line.
05:54Hernandez running.
05:55And so is the second baseman.
05:57Freeland can't get it.
05:58He'll fall in.
05:59And in to second base with his second double goes Luis Arise.
06:03To third goes Fermin.
06:04Second and third.
06:05Now two down for the Padres in the fifth.
06:07Well Manny Machado will come up with runners at second and third.
06:11The tying run is in scoring position.
06:13So tough spot right here.
06:15Manny Machado 0-2.
06:17Fermin at third.
06:18Arise at second.
06:19Two down in the fifth.
06:21Machado to the right side.
06:23Snared by Freeland.
06:25Alex Freeland with the glove work to get Glassnow out of the fifth inning.
06:29Another glass now done after five minutes.
06:31Giving up two runs as Anthony Fonda takes over.
06:35First plate appearance for Gavin Sheets after taking over in left field.
06:38Just eight plate appearances in August.
06:41Just two starts in August.
06:43There's a base hit the other way for Sheets.
06:45Racing over is Conforto.
06:47Sliding over.
06:48Quickly gets back up on his feet.
06:49But in the second base standing goes Gavin Sheets on a good start for the sixth inning.
06:53We're down 4-0 after one inning today.
06:56We get a run in the third and a run in the fifth.
06:58Seemingly never out of games.
07:00Don't sleep on the brown and gold.
07:01Ryan O'Hearn an 0-2 day today.
07:04Brought it out to third base in the second.
07:06Struck out looking in the fourth inning.
07:07To right field.
07:08Struck pretty well on the run as Hernandez headed towards the corner.
07:11That will fall fair.
07:13Around from second base comes Sheets with the third Padres run.
07:16It's an RBI double for O'Hearn and it's now 4-3.
07:20No quit in the pods.
07:22Back to back blue pants with two outs in the sixth inning for the Dodgers.
07:26Couldn't have placed it out any better.
07:28This call is going to be a pitch hitter here against a new pitcher.
07:31Adrian Morejon.
07:32Yeah this is crunch time.
07:33High leverage trailing by one.
07:35Enter Morejon.
07:371-2 pitch.
07:38Struck him out.
07:39Morejon gets a job done.
07:40The Dodgers strand a pair.
07:42And that one gets Bogarts.
07:44Lead runner on for the Padres here in the eighth.
07:46Big time break.
07:48Big time.
07:49Morejon gets in.
07:50A homer.
07:51Also hit by a pitch.
07:52And a liner towards left center field.
07:54That's going to get in for a base hit.
07:56Hoping to cut it off is Cole.
07:57Heading for third is Bogarts.
07:59Throw going to second and Morejon will get in safely.
08:02Second and third with one away.
08:04A double for Morejon.
08:05Oh this is fun to watch right here.
08:08That is going to chase Diaz from this game.
08:11Jeter shows a Glacius here for Cronenworth.
08:14Second and third with one out.
08:16Runners in scoring position.
08:17Two for 12.
08:18Padres have left seven men on base through the first seven innings.
08:21Glacius grounds one shortstop as Betts will go to first base.
08:24This game will be tied.
08:27From third comes Bogarts and it's tied up 4-4.
08:31Padres trailed 4-0.
08:32Now they've tied it up in the eighth.
08:35The Dodgers 4-0 lead has evaporated.
08:38Now tied at 4.
08:39Bottom of the eighth.
08:40The closer for San Diego.
08:42Robert Suarez takes the hill.
08:44Betts without a hit today or in this series.
08:47Mookie hits a high fly ball.
08:50Left field and deep.
08:51This ball is gone!
08:55Mookie has his moment and gives the Dodgers the lead.
09:00That's one heck of a way to get your first hit of the series.
09:04His 13th home run of the year, but this one had to feel like the sweetest.
09:10Alex Vecchia returns to the mound facing the top of the order for San Diego.
09:14It comes down to Manny Machado.
09:175-4 Dodgers in the ninth.
09:18Two outs and the base is empty.
09:20The Dodgers are a strike away.
09:22Here comes the 3-2.
09:23Down swinging!
09:25That's a sweep for L.A.
09:27The biggest series of the year.
09:30And the Dodgers deliver.
09:31And the lead in the National League West is two games again with a tiebreaker in the Dodgers' back pocket.
