00:01Padres took the opener last night 2-1
00:03as the Dodgers and Padres find themselves all tied
00:07atop the NL West going into action tonight.
00:11Esther Cortez heading out there right now for the Padres.
00:15Sixth start of the year
00:16and his second go-around here against the L.A. Dodgers.
00:21Swing and a miss and gets him on the sweeper.
00:23Ohtani strikes out.
00:24That's how you draw it up.
00:25Good slider.
00:26Presents it well.
00:27Gets Ohtani to chase.
00:29Gets the first pass.
00:30Big punch out of this game.
00:31So two down here in the first and Will Smith.
00:34On the ground left side to short.
00:36Xander Bogos.
00:37Mr. Cortez with a 1-3-3 first inning.
00:40Tyler Glass now doing the pitching for the Dodgers.
00:42His 13th start facing San Diego in back-to-back turns.
00:46Padres are a very good curveball hitting team.
00:49First and average.
00:50Third and slug.
00:52Curve right there to get Tatis.
00:54But not my curveball.
00:57That's what you say when you have an outstanding curveball like Tyler Glassnow.
01:01When you see the scouting report, it says pretty good curveball hitter.
01:05You go, not mine.
01:06A second out on just one pitch for Glassnow.
01:09Here's Manny Machado digging in.
01:11Hit on the ground by Machado.
01:12Betts weight.
01:13Scathers it off the dirt.
01:14Throws to Freeman.
01:15It's up the line.
01:16So Freddie will have to tag.
01:17Machado.
01:18It's a 1-2-3.
01:19Bottom of the first for Glassnow.
01:21Freddie Freeman will lead off against Nestor Cortez.
01:24And, of course, they had a historic face-off in Game 1 of last year's World Series.
01:28Hit a walk-off grand slam against Nestor Cortez.
01:32Bottom of the 10th inning.
01:33Game 1 last year at Dodger Stadium against the Yankees.
01:36Fly ball center field.
01:38Sending Laureano back onto the dirt of the track to make the catch.
01:43One of the deepest parts of the yard.
01:45Nestor got away with one there.
01:47Freddie wasn't on that one as he was in the World Series.
01:49Five in a row retired by Cortez to start his night.
01:53That's Cobb working to the big leagues with Clinton.
01:55And he strikes out here.
01:57Second strikeout for Cortez.
01:59He's retired the first six Dodgers.
02:02Glassnow, despite how good he has been, he is winless in seven starts off the injured list.
02:07The Dodgers have just not given him any run support.
02:09But it's certainly important for the Dodgers to avoid being down against the Padre bullpen.
02:14And Sheets flies the ball to right field.
02:16Teoscar Hernandez drifts back.
02:17Now comes in and makes the catch.
02:20Six up, six down for Tyler Glassnow.
02:22And once again, the starting pitchers are dueling at Petco Park.
02:26Those score at the top of the third inning.
02:28Eight up, eight down to begin the night for Nestor Cortez.
02:30Now facing the number nine hitter.
02:32Popped up, back at first.
02:34And Ryan O'Hara steps out of the right field line.
02:37Backedals to make the catch at once the inning.
02:39Padres have to take advantage of the two walks in this inning.
02:42Lead off log for Laureano.
02:44Now a two out based on balls to Fernando.
02:46If the Padres can make these walks count.
02:49Luis Arise steps to the plate.
02:50He lined out his last at bat.
02:51He waits on the tenth pitch from Tyler Glassnow.
02:54In a scoreless game.
02:56In a battle for first.
02:58Off the hands the second.
02:59That was fun to watch.
03:00Glassnow wins the battle.
03:02To the fourth we go.
03:03Four pitches, two outs here in the fourth inning.
03:06Eleven in a row retired by Cortez.
03:09And Smith grounded out to short in the first.
03:12Oh for one.
03:13As the players on Hopper.
03:15Picked by Cronenberg.
03:16Pends and fires.
03:17Run number three.
03:19Master Cortez has retired the first.
03:21Twelve Dodgers each base.
03:22That's now three walks in the last two innings for Tyler Glassnow.
03:26Second straight inning.
03:27A lead off walk.
03:28Never a good recipe.
03:29Ryan O'Hearn will be next.
03:31He grounded out to third base in the second inning.
03:33Ryan to left.
03:34Cole coming in.
03:35And he picks it on a hop.
03:37Base hit for Ryan O'Hearn.
03:39First two Padres have reached here in the bottom of the fourth inning.
03:42The very first hit of the night for either side.
03:45A line drive base hit for Ryan O'Hearn.
03:48Padres cooking here in the four.
03:49First and second.
03:50No outs for Xander Bogart.
03:52Didn't go.
03:53Ball four.
03:53That'll load him up.
03:54With nobody out here in the fourth inning.
03:57Fourth walk allowed by Glassnow.
03:59Now we were talking earlier about how good he's been with runners in scoring position.
04:03He'll need to be great here to try and rescue this inning.
04:06The goal right here, bases loaded, one out, is to give them only one run.
04:11I'll bring over Ramon Lariyano.
04:12The Padres have to feel obligated to scratch something out of this.
04:17Lariyano in the center base hit.
04:20Machado will score.
04:21Here comes O'Hearn.
04:23Two runs are up for the Padres.
04:242-0 San Diego.
04:26Ramon Lariyano driving it a pair.
04:29The new guys continue to show their worth.
04:32Ramon Lariyano with a little pet go park hit it.
04:34First and third.
04:35One out for Cronenworth.
04:37To left center field.
04:39Over is called a left fielder.
04:41After he'll make the catch at third base.
04:43Bogart's tags.
04:44He also scores.
04:45Padres take a 3-0 lead.
04:47Set a fly for Cronenworth.
04:49Padres continue to execute at a very high level.
04:52They did it last night.
04:53They've done it here early.
04:55Oscar Hernandez grounding out to third base in the second inning.
04:59Getting a second look at Cortez.
05:00Second miss.
05:01He struck him out on a corner.
05:0414 in a row.
05:05Retired by Cortez.
05:06Third K of the night for Cortez.
05:08He's used that pitch masterfully tonight so far.
05:11Here's Alex Call.
05:12The strikeout victim last time up.
05:14Nestor looking to retire the first 15 here.
05:16And the pitch lined into right field.
05:18Fernando charging in.
05:19On the run.
05:20Gets there to make the catch.
05:2215 up.
05:2315 down against Nestor Cortez to begin his ninth.
05:27One down in the sixth for Miguel Rojas.
05:30Rojas flied out to Fernando in right field in the third inning.
05:34Poked to right field.
05:35There it is.
05:36Dodgers have their first base runner.
05:38After retiring 16 in a row to start the night,
05:41Cortez gives up his first hit with one out of the sixth inning.
05:45Miguel Rojas breaks it up.
05:48Cortez going to try and finish sixth.
05:50Joe Ohtani against Cortez with a runner on first two outs.
05:54Ohtani swings.
05:55Skies it into center field.
05:57Deep but should be playable.
05:58Laureano is back.
06:00At about 10 feet in front of the warning track,
06:02he makes the catch to end the inning.
06:04And Nestor Cortez, six brilliant frames here tonight.
06:09Alex Freeland to pinch hit for Alex Call.
06:11Alex has been on a tear the last few days.
06:14And yesterday it was Freeland who had the Dodgers' lone hit for eight innings.
06:18It was a solo home run, his first homer in the big leagues.
06:22Freeland hits the ball in the air to deep right field.
06:25Tatis is back.
06:26It is gone.
06:28For the second game in a row, Alex Freeland launches a home run.
06:32This one puts the Dodgers on the board in the eighth.
06:36It's a pinch hit home run for the rookie.
06:38Two nights in a row in this one, he did a great job getting on top of.
06:44It's a high fastball that you're going to get a swing and miss or a pop-up out of usually,
06:48especially in the high 90s.
06:50Look him go up and get that one.
06:53Good top hand.
06:54Giving the Dodgers a glimmer of hope here.
06:57Adrian Moreholm takes over with two down here in the eighth.
07:01Conforto, the pinch hitter.
07:02He goes around, stuck him out.
07:05Nice job by Moreholm.
07:06So now the insurance runs are in scoring position.
07:09Xander Bogarts is the batter.
07:11Two in scoring position, two down in the eighth.
07:13The Dodgers trailing by two.
07:15Down in the right field line.
07:17And it is there!
07:18Into the corner!
07:19From third comes Tatis.
07:21From second comes Machado.
07:23Xander Bogarts drives in a pair.
07:26Padres take a 5-1 lead.
07:28Oh, the joint is jumping!
07:30Petko Park!
07:32Bogie has popped the top off of this building.
07:34Corey Holm.
07:35The final out of the eighth.
07:36He starts the ninth with now a four-run lead with Rich to work.
07:4146,326.
07:43The 57th sellout of the year.
07:45For the faithful who stand at one.
07:48Petko Park in San Diego.
07:50On the ground right side.
07:51Corner where he slides to his left.
07:53On the right side!
07:55And they win the series taking the first two.
07:57And the San Diego Padres are alone atop the NL West.
08:02A game better than the Dodgers as they grab their 74th win of the season.
