00:01Here he comes, Clayton Kershaw, a winner on Thursday in Colorado.
00:07Four starts in the month of August.
00:08He's won them all.
00:09He's got a 190 ERA and has a chance tonight to win five consecutive starts for the first time in
00:16six years.
00:18That's lined over third.
00:20Base hit.
00:20He threads the chalk.
00:22Conforto after it.
00:23Steer surges up to second.
00:25Throw to second is laid.
00:26A standing double.
00:28Steer starts it right.
00:30A man in scoring position right out of the gate.
00:32Reds were held to three hits and shut out last night.
00:36And LB Marte was 0 for 4 in that game.
00:38And he strikes out against Kershaw for the first out of this ballgame.
00:42Just a great sequence.
00:44A one out.
00:45Ellie De La Cruz struck out twice.
00:47Was 0 for 4 yesterday.
00:49And that's ripped over short.
00:50It's going to fall to left.
00:51Base hit.
00:52Stop sign for Steer.
00:53Conforto throw in is cut.
00:55And De La Cruz lashes one to left and the Reds have met at the corners.
00:58So now a man the Reds have hoped will be an equalizer against lefties in general.
01:03Miguel Andujar.
01:04Ellie goes.
01:05The ball is top to third.
01:07Handled by Quique Hernandez.
01:08Throw to first.
01:09Steer scores.
01:11So igniting Ellie seemed to cause a little bit of hesitation from Hernandez.
01:15Just activated off the IL yesterday.
01:17This is a great move by the Reds here.
01:19If you're not running Ellie, this ends up being a double play ball.
01:22But because Ellie is in motion, you have no play at second base.
01:26Hernandez has to go across the diamond.
01:28And it allows the run to score.
01:30Reds up.
01:30One zip.
01:31Two down.
01:32De La Cruz in scoring position for Austin.
01:34De La Cruz slapped the center field.
01:37Pajes runs it down and ends the inning.
01:40For the first time in his pro career, minors or majors, Noelvi Marte starts in center field.
01:47Nick Martinez gets the ball on the game mound.
01:50Well, Martinez, as we talked about in the open, he is comfortable pitching in this ballpark.
01:56He's not allowed to run here.
01:57Let's hope that continues.
01:59And he gets him on the pitch down.
02:01The curveball strike three.
02:03Curveball at the bottom of the zone.
02:05That curveball had quite a bit of break to it.
02:08Now Mookie Betts.
02:09Betts had a big night last night.
02:10Two for four to the home run.
02:12That's a walk for Betts.
02:13And a base runner for LA.
02:15Freddie Freeman, who doubled yesterday, came in to score.
02:18Dodgers have Mookie Betts at first base with one away.
02:20One-two pitch comes on.
02:22The curve is poked inside the bag.
02:24Ricochets off the wall.
02:26Betts ahead for third.
02:27Freeman going to try for two.
02:29Throw from Hayes.
02:30Off the glove of McClain.
02:32Tie game.
02:33Second day in a row, some sloppy Reds defense leads directly to a run.
02:38It's a double for Freeman and a run on the air from Hayes.
02:42First and foremost, impressive hitting by Freddie Freeman.
02:45Staying back on this breaking ball, going the other way, hitting it right down the line.
02:50Hustling.
02:51We know Freddie Freeman is always thinking of that extra base and thinking of two right out of the batter's
02:56box.
02:56Now, Smith has been slumping.
02:58He was 0 for 3, did work a walk, but struck out twice yesterday.
03:02And the air to right.
03:04Santiago Espinal.
03:06Mike Freeman tag.
03:07Espinal catch.
03:08Freeman does.
03:09Throw in is cut by Dela Cruz.
03:12That'll bring up to Oscar Hernandez.
03:14Hernandez with a runner at third and two out.
03:16Well, it's topped to third.
03:18Keep Ryan Hayes.
03:21Dodgers get it right back.
03:23Andy Pajes will lead it off for the Dodgers.
03:25Dropped his back elbow some.
03:27Hooks his ball into shadow that field for a leadoff hit.
03:30And he took those changes and that work into the game and had one of his best days.
03:35Trevino laid away.
03:36Runner goes.
03:37Looks like a pitch out call to strike.
03:38Throw down a good one.
03:39He is out.
03:40They get the strike and a caught stealing.
03:43Now, Pajes pointing immediately to the dugout.
03:45He believes he's safe and he's not leaving the bag.
03:48They will not challenge.
03:49He is out.
03:50Pajes had a phenomenal break there.
03:54A huge jump off of Martinez.
03:56His foot hit the bag and popped up momentarily.
03:59And when it popped up, Dela Cruz had the tag on him.
04:02And Forto retired and now two gone.
04:04Speaking of Kike, he's back for the first time since July 6th.
04:10Back from that elbow injury and as Kirsten touched on during the pregame show.
04:14This is a day he was not sure was going to happen.
04:17He was pretty darn close to having season-ending surgery.
04:21In his first half battle for the injured list, Hernandez grounds the ball towards the middle
04:25and into center field for a two-out base hit.
04:29Welcome back, Kike Hernandez.
04:31Keeps the inning going for the nine-hitter Alex Freeland.
04:34Defensive swing, chip to third.
04:36Hayes lobbed the first in plenty of time still.
04:40And there's one gone for Cincinnati in the top of the third.
04:43There's two-two to steer.
04:45Got a chase for strike three.
04:47That was the splitter.
04:48Speaking of change, a change up and a change in pitcher.
04:52Clayton Kershaw.
04:53Two-minute out.
04:54Here's Noel V. Marte.
04:56Strikes him out with the high fastball.
04:58One, two, three.
05:00Go the Reds.
05:01Teoscar Hernandez right-handed hitting right fielder.
05:03Steps in.
05:04Comes on, driving to left field and a base hit.
05:06That'll scoot its way to the corner for extra bases.
05:10Conforto's leadoff double to Oscar Hernandez.
05:13And now the left-handed hitting Michael Fuforda.
05:16Wow, bounces right back to the mound, knocks his glove off,
05:20and Conforto's got an infield hit.
05:22He's like, what is that red thing laying there?
05:24Oh, it's his glove.
05:25Conforto takes this right back up the middle,
05:28and that's why his glove gets knocked off,
05:30because he tries to make a backhanded stop there.
05:34Did Conforto a favor there,
05:35kind of throwing his arm up and his glove.
05:38He gets knocked off.
05:40First and third, one out.
05:42Go ahead, runs a third for Quique Hernandez.
05:44Swing and a fly ball to left field.
05:46Hazes on the run.
05:48He'll get there, but the Dodgers will take the lead.
05:51A sacrifice fly from Quique Hernandez.
05:54Makes it two.
05:55Really good job by Quique Hernandez.
05:57Getting that ball in the air,
05:59getting a ball he can handle.
06:00Driving into left field.
06:01That's only with two strikes.
06:03Easy sacrifice fly.
06:05Two outs for Alex Friedland.
06:07Fires it right in there, a strike three.
06:09Tied him up with an inside fastball.
06:11Trevino tonight 0-4-1.
06:13He grounded his second in the second.
06:15Kershaw gets another K.
06:17A curve at 71.
06:19Picks up his sixth of the game.
06:21Two of the first three hitters of this game
06:23got hits against Kershaw.
06:24He's retired 13 straight since.
06:27The eight-hitter, Espinall,
06:28fly to center field for Pajes.
06:30He's going back.
06:31He's got one.
06:32We're halfway home in a 2-1 game.
06:34Clayton Kershaw putting on a show.
06:37When we go to the top of the sixth inning,
06:38it'll be a brand-new pitcher out there.
06:40Clayton Kershaw, after five brilliant innings of one-run baseball,
06:44gets the rest of the night off.
06:45They're going to go from old to young.
06:4623-year-old Edgardo Enriquez.
06:49Two hits and two batters against Enriquez.
06:53And now Noel V. Marte.
06:54Squares to one.
06:56Pops it up.
06:56Enriquez has it.
06:58Fastball to second for two.
07:00That changes the temperature.
07:02Great job by Enriquez here.
07:04Showing off the athleticism.
07:06Bouncing off the mound.
07:07And then knowing to go to second,
07:09Will Smith was screaming, too,
07:11after catching that two.
07:13And then he just spins around.
07:15Like a shortstop.
07:16Dropping down a little bit.
07:18Three quarters.
07:19Daley Cruz is singled.
07:20He has struck out.
07:21First chance to bat left-handed tonight.
07:23We're going to have a shortstop there, though.
07:25And then Dela Cruz into shallow downfield for Conforto.
07:28And that fizzled quickly.
07:29All right.
07:30All is well.
07:31Two to one in favor of the Dodgers.
07:33Bottom of the sixth inning.
07:34Smith 0 for two.
07:35He's flied to right and struck out.
07:37There's a drive to center field.
07:38Marte is going back.
07:39A turn and watch it just get over the wall.
07:43Home run, Will Smith.
07:45A sight for Sarai's for the Dodger catcher.
07:48That's a good-looking swing.
07:50I was going to say, Will Smith needed that one.
07:53Not just because of the result,
07:54but because of the swing.
07:56The fastball.
07:57Gets it over the middle of the plate,
07:59but staying inside and driving it to right center.
08:02That'll give you confidence in your swing.
08:04Whatever you've been working on,
08:05whatever you've been doing,
08:06like, okay, there it is.
08:08One out, bottom of the sixth.
08:09Andy Pajas, one for two.
08:11Nothing weak about that.
08:13Blistered over a leaping haze into the corner.
08:16A two-strike bullet off of the bat of Andy Pajas
08:19for his second hit of the game.
08:21That's it for Nick Martinez.
08:23Dodgers three, Reds one.
08:24Book still open.
08:25Brent Suter is on.
08:27Call the runner at first.
08:28Kike Hernandez, the batter.
08:29The second hit of the game for Kike Hernandez.
08:33It's been a perfect night for him.
08:35Two for two with a sack fly.
08:37Two on.
08:38Now Miguel Rojas will bat instead of Alex Freeland.
08:41High fly ball, deep center field.
08:43Marte's going back, twisted around, over his head.
08:48Two runs will score.
08:49A double from Rojas.
08:51Amen at a guy playing his first career game in center field.
08:55Looks like Marte got turned around.
08:58He broke back immediately, but then he had to turn the other way,
09:02and when he did, he just flat lost it.
09:05Those who have played it will tell you, though,
09:06the toughest one is the one coming right at you
09:09because it's really hard to read
09:11whether you're going to turn over to your left shoulder
09:13or to your right shoulder, whatever it was,
09:15got them all twisted around.
09:17This will bring up Shohei Ohtani.
09:20Left-on-left matchup.
09:21Shohei without a hit tonight.
09:220 for 2.
09:23Base hit to right for Ohtani.
09:25Here comes Rojas.
09:27Here comes Espinall's throw.
09:29Offline.
09:306-1.
09:31You're talking about Rojas hitting hard?
09:33Well, every time Ohtani hits it, he hits it hard.
09:35That was on the ground, but he hit it hard.
09:37Miguel Rojas chugging his around, scoring.
09:40Two out of RBI from the Dodgers.
09:42Huge hit.
09:43A 4-1-6 for the Dodgers as Ohtani knocks in Rojas.
09:47Leading the majors in two outruns this year.
09:50Four-pitch walk gets it going.
09:52Here comes Austin Hayes and Will Smith.
09:55Stunned to left.
09:56Paez going back at the wall.
09:58That's good.
10:00Home run, Austin Hayes, his 11th of the year.
10:03And the Reds get a couple of runs back.
10:05The lead-off walk burns Kasparias.
10:08It's now 6-3.
10:09That's a fastball up and in.
10:1197 miles an hour from the right-hander Kasparias.
10:15Right over the top of the wall.
10:17Bounced right on the top of the paddy.
10:20A 4-1 sixth inning.
10:21The difference in this game is Tanner Scott comes out with a chance at the save.
10:25What a win.
10:26To third.
10:27Hernandez.
10:28To second wide.
10:29Rojas.
10:30The first double play.
10:32That's the ball game.
10:33The Dodgers take it 6-3.
10:36Their third consecutive win.
10:38Great win by the Dodgers here.
10:41Obviously, great thing set up by Clayton Kershaw.
10:44And then the offense scoring some runs.
10:46...
10:46...
10:46...
