00:01It's not going to be an easy trip for the Dodgers to finish two teams that are right in the
00:05thick of things themselves
00:06Yeah, it almost feels like the postseason here in the last regular season games because of what everyone's fighting for
00:12In the first game of this series
00:13It'll be Shohei Otani for the Dodgers coming off five no-hit innings against the Phillies his last time
00:19But they face off with Brandon fought who's coming off the best start of his career nine shutout innings
00:25But a no decision it was 0-0 until the 11th in a duel with Justin Verlander of the Giants
00:31last week
00:32The Giants scored five runs in the 11th inning in that game to win it
00:35Now in addition to those 53 home runs one shy of the league lead one shy of his own franchise
00:40record
00:41He's reached base 26 games in a row
00:43Swings and one hops it softly to second base Marte with all day to throw
00:49He throws out Otani who I'm sure will now head back to the dugout and get ready to pitch
00:54The bottom of the first now Mookie had a three hit game against the Cardinals first week in August
00:59And that has started to stretch where he's top five in the league in batting average
01:03Mookie swings belted to left field that's a base hit
01:06Couple of hops to the left fielder Jake McCarthy in bets as the first hit of the series
01:11Every guy that comes up we're talking about doing something well against these Diamondbacks Freddie Freeman no different
01:17That is leaking toward the seats blaze might have grown and he's got it
01:22We've not seen much of Muncie lately he's been
01:25Wanted off the injured list throughout the year and Muncie launches a towering fly ball to right but Corbin's got
01:33room
01:35He's made 13 starts this season a 3 2 9 ERA this is the 100th major league start of his
01:41career
01:42Only two players in major league history have ever hit a hundred home runs and made a hundred starts as
01:48a pitcher
01:49Shohei Otani and Babe Ruth
01:50That's a broken bat pop flying to right field here comes Hernandez
01:55As he gets there for the first out of the game is that bat went flying up into the netting
01:59above the dugout
02:00That came out off the
02:02Broken bat
02:03Part of the ball came off the bat
02:06Flying into that net
02:11So one bat broken one out recorded and up comes Cattell Marte
02:15Swung on ground ball to second right behind it Tommy Edmund
02:18He is up with it throws on the first to retire the jogging Marte and there's two down
02:2450 50 man on the mound 30 30 man in the batter's box
02:29And Corbin Carroll takes strike three a curveball caught him looking
02:34Strikeout number one for Otani comes on the curve the side retired in order will go to the second inning
02:40in Phoenix
02:41Well during the break they honored Clayton Kershaw here at Chase Field
02:44He got a great hand from this crowd which is packed
02:47But can he get a little practice coming out of the pen which is the likely role for him in
02:52October?
02:53That's a high drive to deep left field
02:56Back goes McCarthy at the wall
02:59It is gone
03:01Teoscar Hernandez
03:02Finds the seats and the Dodgers strike first
03:06Number 25 of the year for Teoscar
03:09One to nothing in the second
03:11Gets into a good count two strikes that sinker moving away from the barrel
03:16But it's a nice job getting around this thing and just enough
03:19You see McCarthy going back the reach
03:21Still a few more inches above the glove
03:24He's been hot lately last 15 games hitting 347
03:28Got him blew a fastball by him after falling behind three and one Ohtani
03:34Strikes out Moreno for the first out of the second
03:36So Tony's retired the first four that he's faced after the five no-hit innings against the Phillies
03:42Under the payoff from Ohtani
03:43Alexander chases a slider for strike three
03:46Three in a row for Shohei
03:48Five different pitches to get out
03:49This one the sweeper just going away from the barrel of Alexander's
03:53That just late movement
03:54You just never know what it's going to be
03:56From start to start from a bat to at bat
03:58What's going to be working best for Shohei?
04:00Swing and a ground ball toward the middle
04:03Backhanding is Tommy Edmund
04:04He'll straighten up throw on the first
04:06It's another one two three inning
04:08Dave Roberts heart just sank into his stomach
04:11After watching that in real time
04:13But Ohtani seems to be all right
04:15Fastball to 100 to strike him up
04:18And back-to-back K's here in the third
04:20Fifth strikeout for Ohtani
04:22Swing and a miss strike three
04:24Ohtani is looking very formidable
04:26This is his craft
04:27This is something he takes so much pride in
04:30As much as we've seen him do everything
04:31Last year the 50 cup fee club
04:33All the stuff offensively
04:34This is ultimately what Shohei puts on the top
04:37Of all his shelves of priorities
04:3970 pitches as we keep an eye on the pitch count for Ohtani
04:42Looks like somebody is getting up and beginning to move around
04:46That's a bouncer back to Ohtani
04:48Throws it to the bag for one
04:50Edmund to first
04:51There's two
04:52A double play
04:54Five more scoreless innings from Ohtani
04:56Who's got a little look in his eye
04:58That need a little extra edge
05:00Dodgers looking for insurance
05:02With Ohtani at second
05:03Freeman at first
05:04And here's Hernandez
05:05Who led off the second
05:06With that home run
05:07It's 25th of the year
05:08Pokes on the right center field
05:10That's headed for the gap
05:12And it's headed for the run
05:15Ohtani's in
05:15Freeman's right behind him
05:17Hernandez heads for third
05:19It's Teosco three
05:20Arizona nothing
05:23Ohtani a prolific checker of boxes
05:27Tonight the goal was to start playoff mode
05:30Line drive center field
05:32Pahez is there
05:33And six scoreless innings from Shohei Ohtani
05:36Nineteen and two thirds
05:38His last four starts in just one run
05:41He goes six innings for the first time
05:43Ward Vett who's over two
05:44But six more scoreless innings on his catcher's ERA
05:48He swings hits a drive to right and deep
05:50Carroll going back
05:51He looks up
05:52It's gone
05:55Benjamin biceps flexes
05:57Four to nothing Dodgers
05:59First time he gets Shohei to greet him at home
06:02An extra flex
06:03On a two strike pitch no less
06:06Ward Vett finds the seeds
06:07Vargas at first with two outs
06:09McCann 0 for 2
06:13McCann deep to center
06:15Pahez backing up
06:17And it's high off the wall
06:19Vargas will score
06:20James McCann another big hit
06:23Hips an RBI double
06:25Blasted the straightaway center
06:27Pahez covers a lot of ground out there for the Dodgers
06:29A real rangy center fielder
06:31But he couldn't get back to the wall quickly enough
06:33To even make a play on this ball
06:36Backs off plays the carom
06:37Well the shutout is gone here in the seventh
06:39Dave Roberts is coming out
06:41And he's going to get drier
06:43And they'll bring in a right-hander
06:44As the D-backs don't look at this
06:46They're going to do a double change here
06:48They're going to burn Lawler
06:50Just to get the pitching change
06:52And now they've brought in
06:52Adrian Del Castillo
06:54Looking for some thunder off the bench
06:55So Tori Lavella rolling the dice a little bit here
06:58Dale cranks it
07:00Way back
07:01Goodbye
07:03Adrian Del Castillo
07:06Joe makes it a one-run game
07:08Interrupted and thrown it out of here to right field
07:10Outstanding
07:11And for the Diamondbacks
07:13They know that you know there are not too many
07:15They're running out of tomorrows
07:17And if they're going to get to postseason
07:18Dodgers know they're playing on Tuesday at home
07:20Oh what a gutsy call there
07:22McCann down to his last strike
07:25Pulls it off
07:26And now the tying run is at third
07:28The winning run is at second
07:30And there's only one down to the bottom of the ninth inning
07:34Barossa hits a fly ball to left
07:36Call backing up to the track
07:38Here comes Vargas
07:41Jorge Barossa ties it up
07:43It's another blown save for Tanner Scott
07:46And Shohei Ohtani gets a no decision out of this
07:50We were talking prior to the game
07:52The value that Perdomo has bought
07:54When he has mentioned his team this year
07:56What a moment goal he finds himself in now
07:58Base hit
07:59Here comes Toa
08:01Alex Cole with a throw
08:03He has served
08:06Do you believe?
08:09Do you believe?
