00:01Dodgers have won seven of their
00:03last nine after they took two of
00:05three against the Rangers over
00:06the weekend they come in a major
00:08league best eleven and four the
00:09New York Mets have dropped five
00:10games in a row the offense has
00:12disappeared without Juan Soto and
00:15they have looked like a different
00:16team in that time and they've been
00:17sloppy as well and so they limp in
00:19at seven and nine into this three
00:21game series Justin Robleski to
00:23make the start for the Dodgers on
00:25an unseasonably cool night the
00:27temperature down into the high
00:28fifties by the end of the night
00:30tonight as Robleski gets his first
00:32home start this year tries to build
00:34off his first win as a starter in a
00:36year and a half picked that up in
00:38Toronto last week swing and a miss
00:40and he is done the Angels been
00:43struck out nothing across Otani he
00:46has reached base in all 15 games
00:48this season 46 straight dating back
00:50to last year's the third longest
00:52streak in Los Angeles Dodger
00:54history just one behind Ron say
00:56the head of Otani on two
00:58Otani gets hit by this 0-2 as long as
01:01he's okay that's a gift well it's not a
01:04leadoff home run but it is a leadoff
01:05base earner for the Dodgers as Otani
01:07gets hit by this two strike pitch
01:09right and for most guys you'd say okay
01:11it's not that big of a deal it's in
01:12the back but that's throwing got that
01:14start on Wednesday that's right and
01:16the on-base streak extended now 47
01:18games the longest since Sean Green at a
01:2153 gamer in 2000 the Dodgers the
01:24number one offense in baseball so far
01:26by far even though Tucker hasn't
01:28really hit yet Freddie Freeman hasn't
01:30gotten results yet they haven't had
01:32Mookie Betts for the last week first
01:34to reach for the Dodgers without
01:37having to take the bat off of their
01:38shoulder and Will Smith comes up to
01:40the plate really if you're an opposing
01:42team an opposing pitcher this is
01:44probably the last guy you want to see
01:46or have to pitch to with runners on
01:49base Smith grounds it sharply and
01:51throw the Dodgers waste no time
01:53getting on the board Smith knocks in
01:55Otani one to nothing before there's
01:57an hour and for Will Smith he
02:00delivers yet again where do you pitch
02:02that guy three two taken for ball
02:04four the first four have reached and
02:06the bases are loaded the run is in
02:08the bases are loaded nobody out and
02:10Freddie Freeman coming up and Justin
02:12Willard will take a trip to the mound
02:14to try and figure if he can be of some
02:16assistance to David Peterson this is
02:18where a kick in the you know what is
02:20needed like let's go one two coming
02:22and it's on the inside corner and
02:25Peterson finally able to record it
02:28out good visit by Willard and nice
02:30turnaround there by Peterson one two
02:33to Pajas and he got him on a pitch in
02:36the dirt so Peterson with back-to-back
02:38strikeouts looking to minimize the
02:41damage in the opening inning two down
02:43the bases remain loaded with two out
02:46and now Max Muncy over the weekend had
02:48a three home run game including a
02:50walk-off and he strikes out Muncy what
02:53a comeback by Peterson how did he do
02:56that David Peterson strikes out Freeman
02:59Pajas and Muncy to win the inning
03:01it was shot hit his first home run in a
03:03Mets uniform over the weekend against
03:05the A's quiet first week but it's got
03:07things started nobody lost more when
03:09the Blue Jays lost that game seven
03:11he did just in terms of memories and
03:14stature and moments because it looked
03:16like for the longest time that his home
03:17run was going to be the one that they
03:19always talked about was going to be the
03:20one that won the Blue Jays the World
03:22Series there's been a moment to never
03:24forget for the show man sharply hit
03:26diving stop Miguel Rojas no way once
03:30again Rojas takes something from
03:33Bichette Miguel Rojas still a thorn in
03:37anybody that wore Toronto's uniform that's
03:39such a sweet play hundred and six mile
03:42per hour shot off of the bat of a
03:43shot there but Rojas picks off swing and
03:46a miss Peterson sits him down and David
03:49Peterson seemingly out of nowhere with
03:51the way this game began has retired the
03:53last six that he's facing he's struck
03:54out five of the six third inning one
03:57nothing Dodgers Tommy Pham steps in for
03:59his first at bat for the Mets since
04:01twenty twenty three but his first at
04:03bat is a prompt one Robleski has his
04:05second K as he's retired the first
04:07two seven didn't waste any time three
04:09pitches Taylor with a shot to third
04:11the Mets he goes up to Spear but a
04:14couple of hard hit balls but the left
04:16side of the infield helping Robleski
04:17out and the chance for LA here they've
04:20had six base runners over the first two
04:22plus innings just to run the show for
04:23it and Dodgers are being handed
04:25opportunities the Dodgers are
04:27fortunate Simeon and transferring the
04:29ball to a bare hand trying to get the
04:30double play ball lost the baseball and
04:32dropped on the ground otherwise any may
04:34have been over I give the best hitter in
04:36the National League an opportunity to
04:38drive in some runs right here team
04:40that hits 290 overall goes up to
04:42above 300 with runners in scoring
04:43position on the curve is lifted in the
04:45air to deep left field fans going back
04:47towards the corner his fifth of the
04:54season and give him 20 in the RBI
04:56total Dodgers take advantage this time
04:59and lead it for 12 12 up 12 down for
05:03Justin Robleski and the Dodgers on to
05:05the fifth we go Boba Shea cranks
05:07another but another stop from the
05:10left side of the infield Muncie over
05:11the first one pitch one out here in
05:13the fifth and this has been for
05:15Robleski what he's done all season so
05:17far he's not missing many bats he's
05:19got just two K's but one gone in the
05:21fifth inning I'm just 50 pitches
05:22another 0 2 to Polanco fastball punch
05:26right side and through and there's the
05:27first base runner of the game for the
05:29Mets Jorge Polanco with an opposite
05:31field single and it had gone deep
05:34enough into this game and he was
05:35looking good enough for the crowd
05:37gives him a hand there that get
05:39greedy here and a big bouncer up the
05:41middle has been all weights he's on
05:43the bag as he feels it there you go
05:46mom order up with double play gets
05:48Robleski through another scoreless
05:50inning the Dodgers lead four to
05:52nothing and this Mets offense really
05:54been in a rut during 16 straight
05:56scoreless innings they're 551 fam to
06:00short Rojas to first one gone in the
06:03six would you believe five for 52 I
06:07would yeah yeah Dodgers starters have
06:09given great length all year flexed a
06:12second off of the hands one second
06:14baseman to another two gone in the
06:15six this is going to be the 10th time
06:19out of the first 16 games that the
06:21Dodgers charter would have gone six
06:22innings and remember last year it's
06:24easy to forget anything bad from last
06:26year because of how it ended but for a
06:28lot of the year the bullpen was
06:29getting taxed because the starters
06:31were averaging under five innings per
06:33start Taylor lined out his first time
06:36taps this one back to Robleski who has
06:38dominated tonight he's faced a minimum
06:40the first six scoreless innings the
06:43Tony extended the on-base streak by
06:44getting hit by a pitch in the first
06:46inning whoa whoa whoa oh my gosh I've
06:50never seen that what the heck over a
06:53slight punch before his eyes pitch
06:56clock he's saying that's called time get
06:57him from the violation okay you got in
07:00the catching position you show hey is
07:02animated on everything I mean it is
07:04just so funny to watch his expressions
07:06we've talked about it a couple times
07:08Robleski hasn't gotten the swing and
07:10miss so far this season hasn't mattered
07:11tonight's a good example that that's not
07:13always the best way to live bouncing
07:15ball to short charged by Rojas low throw
07:19picked by Freddie Freeman it has been a
07:21teaching tape attacking pitching but that
07:25attacking mentality is leading to real
07:27results right here he gets Robert on the
07:29first pitch two gone in the seven if you
07:32had Justin Robleski as the first Dodgers
07:35starter to record an out in the seventh
07:37inning this season please share your
07:39lottery ticket numbers with us here's
07:41his 0-2 up the middle and he's got it
07:44Justin Robleski pitching the game of
07:48his life here and another one two three
07:50inning for the Dodgers left-hander he
07:52has faced the minimum through seven
07:54with seven shutout innings Justin
07:57Robleski has attacked the strike zone
07:59from pitch one tonight grab ball left
08:01side Muncie gobbles it up one gone in
08:05the eighth the seventy five pitches for
08:08Robleski practice one in the air to
08:10center field pot is going back shy of
08:12the warning track he's got to it at
08:14this point this guy's got to be a
08:15starter and we've talked about him as
08:17the sixth starter he's in there to
08:19get the other guys enough rest the
08:21elephant in the room is that he is
08:23far outperforming Roki Sasaki three
08:26balls and two strikes on Francisco
08:28Alvarez Robleski comes home a line
08:30drive to center field in front of
08:32Pahez a base hit and that does make
08:35it a hurt a little bit less what
08:37happened on the bouncing ball from
08:39Palenco back in the fifth a legit
08:41line drive base hit to center right
08:43there this is kind of been Justin
08:45Robleski throughout his baseball
08:46life getting challenged finding a way
08:49to come back and flex again two gone
08:52in the eighth inning best start of his
08:54major league career ground ball to
08:56short for Rojas on the second eight
08:59scoreless innings from Justin Robleski
09:01Justin Robleski brilliant in eight
09:05shutout frames Robleski by the way
09:08four swings and misses in his eight
09:10innings that's the fewest in a
09:12Dodger start of eight scoreless innings
09:14since they started tracking pitch by
09:16pitch data is almost two decades ago
09:19now his one wonder Rojas has already
09:21got two hits now make it three in the
09:23left center field Rojas on base six of
09:26his seven times up on this homestand
09:28right against the fans one more look
09:30at Shohei Otani skies when the right
09:34field did not get all of it camped
09:36out is Taylor plenty of space in front
09:39of the warning track and that's the
09:40final out so Rojas is two out single
09:42is stranded we go to the ninth the
09:44Dodgers three outs away from the
09:45series opening win leading four to
09:47nothing Tanner Scott looks for the
09:48last three outs of this ballgame
09:50Marcus Simeon leads off for the Mets
09:52just two base runners all night and
09:55then now they have their third hit
09:56as Simeon lines went in left center
09:59so perhaps with Robleski out of the
10:01game the Mets can build something
10:03against Scott and now Tyrone Taylor
10:05who's lined out and hit a
10:06comebacker 0 for 2 pop up Freddie
10:10Freeman waits for it and makes the
10:13catch for the first out of the night
10:14so back to the top and Francisco
10:17Lindor whose nightmare start to the
10:19season has continued with an 0 for 3
10:21down to 179
10:23grounded a third could do it Muncy the
10:25second one Espinata first a double
10:28play dominance from the Dodgers
10:30tonight Justin Robleski the man of
10:33the hour four to nothing as he fires
10:36eight scoreless and for the young man
10:37he has just got to be elated because
10:39he knows that he can start he knows
10:42that he can pitch and he can pitch at a
10:43high level
