00:01Still has not been a no-hitter in Major League Baseball this year.
00:04It's been 20 years since that's been the case.
00:06The Dodgers flirted with it twice the last three games.
00:08Bottom line was they won last night's game at least.
00:11Yeah, they won last night's game.
00:12And if you look at the pitching, it's real easy to analyze.
00:15They were fantastic over the last few days.
00:17But if you look at the offense, big leaguers need to analyze execution over results.
00:21So we can feel good about the results last night with a W.
00:24But as far as execution, they've got things to work on still.
00:27Emmett Sheehan taking the ball.
00:29He had a .492 as a rookie in 2023.
00:32He misses almost a year and a half after Tommy John surgery.
00:35He comes back.
00:36And he's been one of the unsung heroes of this staff.
00:39A .359 ERA and among the leaders in the National League in some of the underlying categories.
00:44And Freeman swings.
00:45It's a ground ball to short.
00:46Mookie up with it.
00:47Sets his feet.
00:48Hires on to first base and plenty of time to get Tyler Freeman.
00:51One away for Colorado in the top of the first.
00:54We'll bring up the left-handed hitting right fielder, Mickey Moniak.
00:57Moniak, who struck out all three times yesterday.
01:00Sends a fly bar to deep left center field.
01:02Conforto's back to make the catch on the warning track.
01:06Sheehan delivers one-two and strikes him out.
01:08Goodman strikes out for a strikeout for Emmett Sheehan.
01:11And the Rockies gone in order in the top half of the first.
01:14Jermon making his 23rd start of the year.
01:17And he's due for a good one.
01:18Yeah, he's trying to regain the form that he had prior to going on the IL.
01:21You know, the 11 starts prior to the IL was a .355 ERA.
01:25The last couple, since he's come back, he's still trying to find that really sharp breaking pitch.
01:32Tony holds that bat high over his head.
01:35High fly ball to the left.
01:38Brenton Doyle had trouble for a moment finding it.
01:41Now he does and makes the catch.
01:43Freddie Freeman, two outs here in the first.
01:46No score.
01:46He reaches and hits it to left.
01:49Jordan Beck right there.
01:50And that's out number three.
01:52No score after one here in L.A.
01:54One gone in the second for Tovar.
01:57Swing and a miss.
01:58Two gone in the second.
02:00Got a little help from Tovar there.
02:01Second strikeout.
02:02This one comes on a slider.
02:05It's a large percentage of Emmitt's pitches are his fastball is changeup and his slider.
02:09And that's what he's gotten outs with.
02:11The slider more than the fastball and changeup.
02:13But Sheehan winds, fires.
02:15Swing on and miss.
02:16Strike three.
02:17Got him.
02:18Third strikeout of the game for Emmitt Sheehan.
02:20Six up and six down for Colorado.
02:23Will Smith back in the lineup for the Dodgers for the first time since Wednesday.
02:27There's a rope down the left field line.
02:30Screaming into the corner for a leadoff double.
02:33Will felt like he had found his swing right before that injury happened.
02:37And then you just hope that the layoff doesn't steal it from you.
02:40Pretty good first sign right there.
02:42That's Oscar Hernandez with the infield drawn in.
02:45Smith the third.
02:46Dodgers looking for the early lead.
02:48In the dirt.
02:49Kicks away.
02:49Here comes Will Smith.
02:51They'll score.
02:52Dodgers on the board first and a wild pitch from Marquez.
02:56Two outs.
02:56Bases cleared.
02:57Michael Conforto now the hitter.
02:59The pitch to Conforto is a bouncing ball right to the second baseman.
03:02That's Tyler Freeman over to first base for the outs.
03:05But the Dodgers get on the board.
03:07Now Keros leads off against Emmitt Sheehan.
03:10Kyle made his Dodgers stadium debut last night,
03:12which was a big deal for him and his family.
03:14Of course, his dad, Eric, was here again tonight.
03:171-1 pitch.
03:18Grounded to third.
03:19Muncie's got it.
03:20Takes his time.
03:21Throws on to first.
03:22In time to get him.
03:23And there's one away in the rocky third.
03:25Tell you how to UCLA.
03:27Two away in the Rockies' third.
03:29Another 0-2 pitch.
03:31Goff to center field.
03:32Paez is there.
03:33Nine up, nine down for Emmitt Sheehan.
03:36Andy Paez.
03:37Paez, Miguel Rojas, and then Shohei.
03:39Two pitch.
03:41Swing.
03:41And a miss.
03:41He got it right there with a knuckle curve.
03:45His first strikeout.
03:46First out here in the third.
03:48Ohtani increases his career high in walks.
03:51That's his 98th base on balls this year.
03:54Runner aboard.
03:55Two down for Mookie Betts.
03:56Here's a fly by the left center field.
03:58Traveling deep.
03:59Betts going back.
04:00It's got a chance.
04:01It is gone.
04:03It's a two-run home run for Mookie Betts.
04:06And it's a fourth consecutive game with multiple runs batted in for Betts.
04:11A two-run shot.
04:13And the Dodgers lead it three to nothing.
04:15Emmitt Sheehan perfect through three innings in this game.
04:18He's the fourth consecutive Dodgers starter to go into the fourth inning,
04:22having not allowed a hit.
04:23Got a chase.
04:2590, but moves quite a bit for 90.
04:27If you're evaluating this as a pitcher, you're going to say,
04:30yeah, he swung at it, but I'm going to have to be better than that.
04:34That was a ball out of hand and a major chase.
04:36It's a bouncing ball to the right side.
04:38And he goes back into it by Rojas.
04:39Leaping throw.
04:40He gets it there in time to retire Moniak.
04:43And there are two away.
04:45Hunter Goodman, the catcher, one-two, swing, and a miss.
04:49Strike three.
04:50Strikeout number five.
04:51Got him on a slider again.
04:53And Emmitt Sheehan has retired the first 12 batters he has faced tonight.
04:59Dodgers with a three-to-nothing lead.
05:01Now, Teoscar Hernandez coming to the plate.
05:03They were looking for progress with a rough stretch going here.
05:06A payoff pitch.
05:08High drive, left center field, connects on this one, parks it in the seats.
05:14Teoscar with a home run, and the Dodgers lead it four-to-nothing.
05:18Four-hundred-and-twenty-three feet.
05:20There's the smile that we've missed.
05:22Emmitt Sheehan's been marvelous so far in the ball game.
05:25Twelve up, twelve down.
05:28Pop fly.
05:29Far ground at first.
05:31Let's see if Freddie Freeman has room.
05:32Yeah.
05:33One gone in the fifth inning at 50 pitches.
05:36Emmitt Sheehan pulls it along.
05:38Popped up.
05:39Shallow center field.
05:40Rojas is there.
05:42Two gone in the fifth.
05:43Center fielder Brenton Doyle, strikeout victim in the second inning.
05:47It is swung on.
05:48Popped up.
05:49First base side.
05:50Freddie Freeman in fair territory to the left of the bag.
05:53He'll make the catch.
05:55Fifteen up and fifteen down for Emmitt Sheehan, who's perfect through five.
06:00Otani's 0-for-1 with a walk, a stolen base, and a run scored.
06:04On base eight of his last 11 times up.
06:07On the ground to first, and it gets by Torrio.
06:10Pahez makes the turn and comes home, and it's four to nothing.
06:14We're five to nothing.
06:15This is a bullet again, but this one on the ground finds its way to right field.
06:212-1 to Betts.
06:22He'll swing and he'll drive it to left field.
06:24That's going to be over the head of Beck.
06:26Bounces off the track and off the wall.
06:28Otani is flying around second, and he will throw on the brakes.
06:33And stop at third, and Betts is in with a double.
06:37Two outs.
06:37Smith at the plate.
06:38Eight, second, and third line drive caught by Karos to end the inning.
06:43Emmitt Sheehan has retired the first 15 Rockies.
06:45On to the sixth, and Kyle Karos rips one down the left field line over Muncie.
06:51And it's EK's boy that ends the run at history from Emmitt Sheehan.
06:56Kyle, with his dad in attendance, takes that hanging slider and rips it to the left side for a clean
07:01single.
07:02Back to top of the order.
07:03Tyler Freeman is the hitter.
07:04And a stop and 0-for-18 at the plate.
07:06Baros at second, Fernandez at first with one down.
07:10And a base hit to center field.
07:13Here comes Karos around third.
07:14And the Rockies are on the board.
07:17Tyler Freeman snaps that 0-for with an RBI single here in the sixth inning.
07:22Third single of the inning for Colorado.
07:25Mickey Moniak is 0-for-2.
07:27Moniak swings.
07:28He bounces it to second.
07:29Rojas throws to Betts.
07:30One.
07:30Throw to first.
07:31In time.
07:32That's the inning ending.
07:33Four.
07:34Six.
07:34Three.
07:35Double play.
07:37Sheehan's back out there for the seventh.
07:40Strikeouts open the seventh inning.
07:42Seven total for Sheehan.
07:44And it's Sheehan stretching.
07:45Beck leads at first.
07:47And the 1-2 pitch.
07:48Swung on and missed.
07:50Strike three.
07:51Struck him out on another slider.
07:53Second strikeout of the inning.
07:54The eighth of the game for Sheehan.
07:56Sheehan's breaking pitches have just been spot on tonight for the most part.
08:01Working it in and out.
08:021-2.
08:03Throws another one.
08:04Gets the swing and the miss.
08:05Strike three.
08:06Nine strikeouts for Emmett Sheehan.
08:09Seven complete innings.
08:10What a night for Sheehan.
08:12Freddie Freeman lead off the bottom of the eighth.
08:14Pitching again has been dominant.
08:17Freeman sends the first one of the inning.
08:19And they're on a deep right field.
08:20And it is gone.
08:22And his 20th home run of the season.
08:25And the Dodgers lead it 6-1.
08:30Diving stop.
08:32Michael Tolley a good feed to Contreras.
08:34Well done by Big Mike.
08:35Really nice play by Big Mike.
08:39Takes a hit for Muncie.
08:40So for four.
08:42Teoscar Hernandez.
08:43A base hit.
08:44And a home run.
08:45Two for three tonight.
08:46And this one hit deep to left field.
08:49It is headed back to the wall.
08:51It is gone.
08:52A home run.
08:54Teoscar Hernandez.
08:55His second of the night.
08:57And the Dodgers now lead this ball game 7-1.
09:02Hunter Goodman who struck out all three times up against Emmett Sheehan, the starter.
09:08That ball crushed.
09:10Get up and get out.
09:11That is number 30.
09:14First time in six years the Rockies have a 30 homer man.
09:19Quick to this ball get out.
09:20Well if nothing else that was great to see.
09:25Especially on a night where the first three A.B.s were strikeouts.
09:28It's inconsequential in the bigger picture of the game.
09:31But for Kirby A.
09:32It's really frustrating.
09:33Going to it.
09:35There's the ball game.
09:36Made a good splitter to finish it off.
09:38And a dominant win for the Dodgers who gain a game and lead the West by two.
