00:01It's Gallen for the Diamondbacks, it's Snell for the Dodgers.
00:04Pretty much two pitchers going in opposite directions.
00:06Blake Snell now healthy and pitching the ball very well.
00:10Zach Gallen, his contract year this year is not going real well.
00:13Blake loves that mound right there, loves pitching here at Dodger Stadium, 3-0 this season.
00:18Loves pitching here, loves pitching against the Diamondbacks.
00:21He's got a 1-9-9 ERA against Arizona, which is third all-time.
00:25He gets into the change, which he's thrown more than ever.
00:28It's a nasty change-up, too.
00:30Think about the 93-mile-an-hour high and away fastball he started him out with and then go low
00:34and away.
00:35On a 3-1 from Snell, he takes ball four, and there's the first base runner for Arizona.
00:40Blake has pitched in some traffic.
00:42He's kept his ERA down, but there have been, you know, quite a few singles off of him.
00:47He's been very good with runners in scoring position, but it has been in a lot of L.A. traffic.
00:51Yeah, Whip is walks and hits per innings pitched,
00:55and his is the highest that it's been since he was a rookie nine years ago.
00:59And he rings him up with a fastball.
01:01Makes quick work of Carroll.
01:03Two gone in the first.
01:04A runner at third, two down, and Lord, his eyesight will be unimpeded for the 2-2 count.
01:11You know, the nice thing about him getting over to third base, Perdomo,
01:14is that Snell, just like you've seen the last couple pitches,
01:16he can spike one, and that could give you a run right now.
01:19Big bouncer, Betzel have to hurry, on the move, his throw is in time.
01:24The finish off his score is first for Blake Snell.
01:26Gallon, despite the leadoff walk, faces the midman, he strikes out one.
01:30We go to the second, nothing, nothing, our score.
01:33This is where the D-backs get hurt, those leadoff walks.
01:36It affected them over in Milwaukee a couple times.
01:40You want to give them those free passes.
01:42This team's good enough trying to get on base.
01:44Twenty-one homers for Teosca Hernandez, the right fielder.
01:48Yeah, he went.
01:49Offered at the curveball, and Zach gets his second strikeout.
01:52One away in the second.
01:54Nice job by Zach.
01:55Continues to feed him off-speed breaking balls.
01:57Zach Gallon throws a beautiful curveball, and Conforto waves at it.
02:02Three strikeouts through six batters for Zach Gallon.
02:06Pass ball in, and he got the call.
02:08Gallon walked Will Smith to start the inning,
02:11then three consecutive strikeouts, scoreless after two.
02:14The backs have one base runner through two innings after Domo walk.
02:17Oh, it made contact, but it was weak, and Freeland threw him out.
02:21I was asking our hitters and our hitting coaches today
02:24what made it so hard to face him.
02:26Two things.
02:27First of all, like we're seeing, stuff just in a vacuum is electric.
02:31Moves a ton.
02:31It's hard to hit.
02:32But then they, everybody is saying that he never seems to have a bad miss.
02:36Rarely is it a ball closer to the heart of the zone.
02:39It becomes a hard miss to hit.
02:41You just don't get many chances, you feel like, as a hitter.
02:45Out of the one, two to longer.
02:46He finishes him off, sweeping in the curve for strike three.
02:49His fourth.
02:50This is a hammer.
02:52Other people have curveballs.
02:55Wow.
02:57Marte led off the game, striking out against Snell.
03:00Payoff.
03:01Taken for ball four.
03:03Second walk.
03:04Keeps the inning going for the guy that drew the first.
03:08Couldn't lay off.
03:09There goes Marte.
03:10And no throw from Smith.
03:12Second time in three innings, the Diamondbacks have had a runner in scoring position.
03:16Has him off balance.
03:17Bounce into a charging kicker.
03:18Hernandez.
03:19And again, he pitches around.
03:21The traffic.
03:21To the middle innings.
03:22We go in a scoreless game.
03:24In the middle part of the order for the Diamondbacks here.
03:26Corbin Carroll strokes the first one.
03:29He sees to right center field.
03:30Hernandez recovers.
03:32Slides.
03:33But it bounced.
03:34Carroll hustling out of the boxes into second with a double.
03:37It was really close.
03:39Nobody taking anything for granted on this play.
03:42Let's see.
03:43Let's see if any leather slips underneath the ball.
03:46Oh, I think he caught it.
03:48But is there a voluntary release here?
03:51That's a catch.
03:53That's a catch.
03:53Ball of no catches overruled.
03:56And out here is Lourdes Scurriel Jr.
03:59The backs looking for their first hit against Snell.
04:02And on the pitch, Scurriel pushes the ground ball through the right side.
04:06Into right field.
04:07Caster Hernandez picks up a one-out single.
04:10And that is the very first hit of the night for Arizona.
04:12And it comes here in the top of the fourth inning.
04:15He's thrown less than 50% strikes, but he's getting all kinds of chases.
04:19Both these pitchers racking up the strikeout.
04:22Six of them for Zach Gallen.
04:24Five of them for Blake Snell.
04:25With two outs, here's Blaise Alexander.
04:27There goes Gouriel.
04:29Alexander launches one way back.
04:32And it's Blaise and into the bullpen.
04:35Blaise Alexander jumped on one and it's 2-0 Diamondbacks.
04:39No hits till this inning.
04:41And now two hits.
04:42The runs he gives up are shocking because most of them are from the home run since the I.L.
04:48Five of the seven runs he's given up come from the home run.
04:52Mowing people down, mowing people down, and all of a sudden just one swing, a little jolting.
04:56Left hand to Corbin Carroll leads off the top of the sixth against the lefty Blake Snell.
05:01Corbin trying to split the gap.
05:03Teoscar Hernandez won't get it.
05:06And it one-hopped the wall.
05:08Somehow came back in.
05:09Corbin standing at second base.
05:11Gabby's had a tough time with Snell.
05:14He has struck out twice, 0 for 2.
05:15Snell has walked threes, punched out eight.
05:18He and Gallen each have eight strikeouts through five.
05:21Gabby Lane is open.
05:23Here comes Corbin.
05:24He will score.
05:26It's an RBI knock for Moreno and a 3-0 Diamondback lead.
05:30That's going to do it for Blake Snell.
05:31Three runs on four hits.
05:33Zach Gallen keeps on rolling.
05:35There's a lot of reasons as to why he is not having the year he's having.
05:38One of them early on, just not throwing enough strikes.
05:41You look at what he's doing here tonight.
05:43He's thrown 74 pitches.
05:46He's thrown almost 50 of them in the strike zone.
05:49When you're in the zone, that's when you can get some guys to chase.
05:53Mookie Betts is 0 for 2.
05:55Mookie scoops it to deep left center.
05:57Lardis.
05:58And he lets this one go off the wall.
06:01He just missed a home run.
06:02Gurriel gets it back in and Betts adds a double.
06:05It's the second hit for Los Angeles.
06:08And he won't chase the curve.
06:09Not the worst result ever.
06:11First base already open.
06:13Now you can get right on right with Smith.
06:16A two-out walk.
06:17The tying run will come to the plate with Will Smith.
06:20This is the first time today they've had two runners on.
06:24Gallen sitting at 92 pitches.
06:26This is the big A-B of the night.
06:28Swung on and drilled.
06:30High and deep to left.
06:31Gurriel back to the track.
06:33He's got it right in front of the wall.
06:36And the Dodgers threaten but do not score as Gallen turns in six scoreless.
06:44Kirby Hades who missed a month with a back issue.
06:46Came back on Sunday in San Diego.
06:48Had a 1-2-3 inning and then gets about a week rest.
06:52Eighth pitch.
06:54That's what he did.
06:55What a play by Quique Hernandez and he got him.
06:58What a ball player.
07:00Quique Hernandez.
07:01You make the good pitch.
07:03You get the ground ball.
07:04But you got a great fielder.
07:06Got a hard one.
07:07Got it done.
07:08Jake Woodford on looking for his first career traditional save.
07:12Dodgers down 3-0 to the bottom of the nine.
07:15Got him with the Diamondbacks.
07:16Facing Freddie Freeman.
07:19Broken bat.
07:20This might drop.
07:21But Alec is there.
07:22Alec Thomas with a terrific sliding grab.
07:25He got a great jump on that and got to it.
07:27And the Dodgers can't muster anything against Woodford.
07:30It would be the seventh time this year the Dodgers were held to three or fewer hits.
07:34Right at Blaze at second and one hopper.
07:37Two down for Woodford.
07:39And it's Teoscar Hernandez.
07:40Last man standing for Los Angeles.
07:43If it continues Dalton rushing will hit.
07:463-2 to Hernandez.
07:47Checks his swing.
07:49Laid off.
07:50And they're still alive here.
07:51Rushing to get a chance to hit.
07:53Boy, that one was very close.
07:56So Dalton rushing will pinch hit for Alec's call.
08:00Rushing's driven in five in his last two games.
08:03That's the game.
08:05Dodgers get shut out for the first time since August 2nd.
08:08They came in hot.
08:09But the four-game winning streak comes to an end.
08:12And the Diamondbacks get to within two of 500.
08:14They've won seven of their last ten.
