00:01One thing we know for sure is that this is a special pitching matchup and I think a big thing
00:06for Major League Baseball around the league it's important to bring back the importance of the starting pitcher and when
00:11you get a matchup like this Blake Snell who has two Cy Young Awards Paul Skeens who's going to add
00:16one this year in all likelihood that's something that the game has to celebrate.
00:19Here he is the big guy taking the mound start number 29 on the season for Paul Skeens good chance
00:27he's going to capture his first Cy Young who knows how many and it should be and there's ways to
00:34go he's got a handful of starts remaining this year.
00:37So here's the anticipated matchup right out of the gates Skeens versus Otani swing and a miss struck him out
00:4499 in the zone and on fastballs he strikes out Shohei Otani backhand sliding play Devaney guns it to first
00:55what a play by Cam Devaney I like the arm you know getting over there and catching it is you
01:00know it's one thing a couple of steps to his right but I mean he was from the edge of
01:05the grass on the foul line
01:06and the the strong throw across the diamond about as long a throw as you can have and it was
01:12on a line pop them up second base Gonzalez way up there and Skeens has a one two three top
01:22of the first inning and now the Pirates will face two times Cy Young Award winner Blake Snell Jared Triolo
01:27will lead it off for the Pirates here in the home half of the first two times Cy Young Award
01:32winner Blake Snell of the Dodgers left hander will start for L.A.
01:36tonight but right in front of home plate and rushing does just that and Triolo beats out the air and
01:44throw Dalton rushing had him out but a poor throw results in an error and the Pirates have a base
01:51run to Gonzalez watches strike three perfect fastball at the knees at ninety five cut the plate in half so
01:59one down first strike out of the night for Blake Snell his first walk and without a hit the Pirates
02:05have two on and one out
02:06run for Tommy Pham swatted to right field pushing Hernandez back in front of the warning track he makes the
02:13catch for the second out tagging from second and going to third is Triolo and now runners at the corners
02:18with two outs and Andrew McCutcheon is coming up that's three blew a fastball by him after one at PNC
02:26Park in Pittsburgh it's the Dodgers nothing Pirates nothing now for the Dodgers Michael Conforto lefty battered
02:32and one 88 with one 88 with 10 home runs will take strike three and he's the latest victim of
02:37Paul's schemes is 100 mile per hour fastball two outs two two and a wave and a miss at the
02:43sweeper took a while but he got Pajas and it's six up six down for schemes and it's nothing nothing
02:50now it's Alexander Canario O'Neal Cruz has not started against the lefties since August 2nd Canario getting
02:57some of those starts against lefties and that's going to drop and that's going to drop and Canario is on
03:05with a one out single it's inside ball four and he's walked his second man second straight inning the Pirates
03:11have had two men on hit all that hard but maybe well placed and that's not going to get there
03:18in time not going to get the throw there in time and field hit and the bases are loaded
03:24they could not get a force at second base Henry Davis had a good jump on contact on the slow
03:29ground ball and it just didn't work out for the Dodgers and that'll be an infield single for Triolo and
03:35now the bases are full bases loaded two outs for Nick Gonzalez toward Freddie Freeman foul ground Freddie makes the
03:43play he just kept his arm out there and the ball went in his glove and he snares the soft
03:51line drive and foul ground off the bat of
03:53Gonzalez and the Pirates leave him loaded we go to the third it's the Dodgers nothing Pirates nothing schemes now
03:59the bottom third of the order has sung Kim three strikeouts to the first six batters did he go yes
04:05yep that's four strikeouts for schemes tonight and 191 on the season as he's approaching 200 strikeouts for the year
04:16two outs here's Dalton rushing left-handed batter rushing high in the air right center field drift
04:23He's lifting back Reynolds he's at the wall this ball is off the top of the wall rushing is going
04:30to hold up its second with the two out double that was in the air a long time and it
04:35just missed being a two out solo homer outside ball four and Ohtani walks first walk issued by schemes and
04:43the Dodgers now with two on and two out shortstop is there Triolo that'll do it two left for L
04:51.A. Pirates come to bat at the
04:53bottom of the bottom of the third no score Brian Reynolds will lead it off and on Saturday the first
04:57twenty thousand will take home a Brian Reynolds bobblehead line dry that's a bullet Reynolds smokes it into center field
05:06Reynolds have been on base both times tonight lead off single to center lead off man aboard for Pittsburgh and
05:11Tommy fan the batter right handed hitting left fielder 0 for 1 and a boy talking about great dirt ball
05:18read Brian Reynolds was ready
05:21and that's anticipation if you're not anticipating a ball in the dirt you're not going to get as good a
05:27jump Brian Reynolds as soon as he saw that ball hit dirt he was off oh now he gets to
05:32third two wild pitches and Reynolds is standing at third base now the infield is going to come up man
05:39at third and nobody out and there it is infield in takes advantage
05:43one nothing pirates Tommy Pham delivers one of the wild pitches could have been blocked but was not by rushing
05:51and that results in a pirate run for the third straight game they score the first run of the ball
05:56game in the history of the Pittsburgh Pirates which is well over a hundred years they've only had two Cy
06:03Young one and the last one was in 1990 Doug Drabeck here's at 0 2 swinging a miss struck him
06:09out 98 near the top of the zone
06:11and skeins skeins on his game did I had a struck out five Dodgers that's another strikeout six for skeins

06:59schemes through five scoreless innings back to back singles for the Pirates to start the fifth bucks on the pond
07:05for Brian Reynolds
07:10here comes the second run of the game for the Pirates and into third and safe is Nicky G and
07:17under second is Reynolds it's two nothing buckos great base running by Reynolds I don't know how Reynolds gets his
07:25ball through every ball was six eight inches off the plate inside he just fights it off and just gets
07:31it by the two diving infielders on the left side going to walk McCutcheon
07:36to load the bases and set up a double play for Nick York and a line drive left field and
07:43a base hit that strategy completely backfires on the Dodgers as Nick York doubles in a pair four nothing Pirates
07:55so Nick York's second hit in the big leagues this year produces two runs as the Pirates continue to do
08:03what they've been doing lately and that's just out hit teams and beat them hit
08:06two to first Freeman will take it to the bag and McCutcheon will score five nothing Pittsburgh the Pirates take
08:13Paul skeins to a five nothing lead as we go to the sixth face to the top of the order

08:33guy that throws hard to begin with good breaking stuff on top of it
