00:01there's a little something extra on this you can feel it and right now i mean both teams are not
00:06really playing up to their capabilities i mean offensively both teams are sputtering a bit
00:10but because it's a rivalry i i throw all that out the window because these just are different games
00:17and you could have a one for 90 coming into this thing and have six hits in a four game
00:22series i
00:23mean it's just the beauty of this series so i expect it's going to be well played tightly
00:27played it played like a playoff game so here is sasaki who makes his first start in nine days you
00:32got to go back to last saturday in st louis when he went six innings for the first time this
00:36year
00:37off we go with a fastball that lee pounces on lines to left center hernandez plucks it highlight play
00:44to start the game it looked for all the world it was headed toward the gap but hernandez would have
00:51none of it first pitch first out spectacular play and here's a rise one of the lone bright spots in
00:59what has been the worst offense in baseball cracks this one in the air to left center field tasca
01:05hernandez with a busy start to this game two up and two down two gone casey schmidt
01:12hits it in the left field we've got a hat trick coming for tasca hernandez and a seven pitch first
01:17for
01:17rookie sasaki so this is becoming a more common sight shohei otani taking batting practice on the
01:23field before the game i wish that i could report that he put on a show but it was a
01:28work in progress for
01:29otani who visibly frustrated throughout it as he tries to break out of this slump he's hitting just 121 over
01:36his last 10 games otani on one pitch to schmidt one out this game is easy how about trevor mcdonald
01:45who
01:46made his season debut last week against san diego and a sight for sore eyes here having bets back dodgers
01:52yesterday just the two runs on two hits all too common lately games like that line to center field but
02:00right at vader two outs seven pitch top of the first for sasaki five pitches to get the first two
02:06outs here
02:06for mcdonald and up comes freddie freeman cracked into right center field and a base hit for freeman
02:11that's going to slip again extra bases for freeman with two gone here in the first all he had to
02:17do
02:17is drop him out of the two spot get out of the two spot and he cranks one he is
02:22a doubles machine
02:24that keeps his first inning alive for kyle tucker this is cued right back to mcdonald and that'll in
02:30the inning so no runs a double one left debers at 232 just four home runs 16 runs batted in
02:37so he's been a major disappointment in the first quarter of the season now here's a swing and
02:43debers hits a high drive deep to right center on its way
02:51raffi debers in the right center field and back into the bleachers and the giants have taken a one to
02:57nothing lead and his hot bad here in may continues this time against the rivals
03:08yeah it was a three two split and it just stayed up
03:12well we talk about what ails this giants offense they may look at sasaki and say this is what we
03:17need
03:17because the two things they don't do are the two things that he tends to allow
03:21comes home with a one two turns it back up with a fastball and gets his first strike out of
03:26the game
03:26one-on-one out here in the second the hitters match at
03:30got to check a swing went around to forget first base umpire marvin hudson
03:34chapman has been struck out two gone two outs harrison bader his first at bat in a month
03:40swung on in this strike three so the homerun the single and then three strikeouts in a row
03:46all right here's jesus rodriguez how about that the walk he had a good at bat as he lined the
03:54left
03:55fernandez made a great diving catch that's to open the game when it takes off a swing and a miss
04:02for
04:02strike three the bat goes flying and so does rodriguez from first to steal second
04:07for eyes fly to left in his first at bat sasaki set at the belt and a base hit to
04:12right and
04:16it's going to be one base at a time for rodriguez is arise hit that ball too hard
04:25first and third one out seven pitches for sasaki in the first 25 in the second and now he's already
04:33up to
04:3447 pitches with one out in the third and it hit him
04:42well probably not exactly what mark prior had to say to sasaki yeah i doubt if he went up there
04:48and say hey listen i want you to hit this guy but i want you to hit him with a
04:51breaking ball
04:51and then make sure yeah and then i want you to face devers reaches out flips it in the air
04:57to right
04:57field not deep tuckers coming out deep enough to bring home rodriguez
05:03and as good as a strikeout right there for sasaki two gone in the third that's sasaki trying to make
05:08this an early turning point bases loaded for the giants one out he gets devers now two gone for ramos
05:15swinging a grinder up the third baseline field by munson throws to first and the ending is over
05:23some trouble for sasaki but he gets out of all the misery
05:28hitting eight today it's the lowest that he's hit in the order in six years
05:33and that base hit past the diving matt chapman into the left field corner arriving at second base
05:40hernandez a leadoff double here in the bottom of the third now here's otani he's been struggling
05:45ground it out first pitch that he saw like that twice tonight he's bounced out to the right side
05:52up to third goes hernandez two out and here comes mookie most players that come off the injury list
05:58they'll tell you that for the most part it's going to take you a game or two to kind of
06:02uh get re-acclimated swing and a miss he struck it out the slider freeman has doubled in his first
06:10back back freeman's two for two two of the three dodger hits sprung to the first baseman second inning
06:17in a row the dodgers have had the leadoff man on up comes kyle tucker yeah it's back to back
06:22base
06:23hits to open the floor first time they've had multiple base runners in an inning against mcdonald
06:28first and second nobody out will smith has one left over the plate here and scorches it to center
06:34field a base hit to load him up three consecutive singles to start the fourth for the dodgers
06:40here we go dodger lineup looking like it's a gauntlet to go through
06:44and he got the right guy coming up here with the bases loaded as hot as he's been and against
06:48the
06:49giants he always liked max muncie at the plate
06:51behind drive base hit into right field freeman will score tucker will be held at third a single rbi
06:59for muncie and the dodgers have tied the score at one well this is where you want to just keep
07:06that conga
07:06line going breaks his bat a ground ball to second base out and second on the first and a double
07:12play
07:13six four three six four three dodgers take the lead though as tucker comes in to score
07:20you push the run across you get no ribeye steak but it'll taste a little bit like a belay when
07:27you
07:27get the run across and take the lead this dodger offense has struggled a little bit otani continues
07:32to struggle 0 for 2 tonight just looking at that swing appears to be off balance mcdonald on one and
07:39two otani strikes out swinging well he's lost at sea it is really hard to swing your way out of
07:46a slump
07:46especially when you don't get strikes and that's what it's starting to look like with shohei he
07:51wants to hit his way out of this but the pitchers are not giving him anything to hit i do
07:57see light
07:58at the end of the tunnel with him there's just so much potential and throwing it in the zone more
08:03and getting them to chase but you know what he's open to it he's coachable and the league is telling
08:09him
08:09to listen casey schmidt leads off against roki sasaki grounded up the middle into center field base
08:16head and for the giants that's their fourth hit of the game devers wrapped foot into left field
08:23schmidt read it right away he's going to head to third and when the throw goes to third
08:29into second goes devers pa has not a good play you're pitching out there right now the difference
08:37between a good outing and an outing you want to forget a lot of good things have happened to move
08:42forward but you want to try and finish it off on the ground a fair ball one run scores two
08:49run scores
08:51ramos in the second with a double and the giants take the lead and so sasaki who had retired eight
08:57in a
08:58row coming into the sixth inning and had realistic hopes of getting through six gives up three straight
09:03hits and doesn't report an out in the six mcdonald goes back out he's facing max muncie i'm certain
09:09you're pleased with mcdonald going back out well i am he's going to be on a short leash flies on
09:14the other
09:15way ramos is going back he's running out and it's gone it's tied muncie does it again against san francisco
09:23San francisco what a game he's having what he's done on defense start of the score with the rbi
09:30center now hits his team leading to tire
09:36Hernandez continues what has been a perfect night two for two with a walk
09:41don't move him out of the eight hole
09:43Matt Gage ready down there and here comes Tony Vitello that's going to do it
09:48for Trevor McDonald another good impression that he makes though
09:52limited chances in the major leagues but just about every time he's been given one
09:57he's at least given the Giants a chance and a handful of new relievers as well going to get chances
10:04there's a spinner off the end of the bat hook the second
10:09go ahead run into scoring position
10:12and Ohtani to the plate so the lineup turns over and here's the slumping Shohei Ohtani
10:19go ahead run in scoring position two outs in the sixth and he does what he has done so often
10:24lately he rolls it to the right side a routine play for a rise and the inning is over
10:30and he ropes one into right field for a base hit
10:34Lee the runner at first the pitch swing line drive up the middle base hit into center field
10:40man he hit that ball hard so two left-handed hitters in a row have hit hard base hits against
10:47Vessia
10:50wraps one towards the gap it's going to fall
10:55and the bases are loaded
10:58second time tonight rafael devers has come to the plate with the bases loaded
11:02try as hard as you can if devers to be patient high ball four and he walked in a run
11:09and a bases loaded walk from rafael devers has given the giants the lead again
11:13so much of the talk lately has been about the lack of offense it's a rare game where the pitching
11:18has
11:19let him down and a base hit to right here comes one here comes two and adamas does it again
11:29six to three giants and willie adamas is back the dodgers once again go to their bullpen
11:35for wyatt mills now he takes outside ball four it's a walk to start the ninth inning
11:46runner goes schmidt's got it and now he looks and sees that the ball ended up in center field
11:52so devers only question is and there's the question answered they are not going to pitch the devers
11:58chance to put a lot of men on base tonight way outside not close so he has won the first
12:04three
12:05hitters of the inning giants don't have five walks tonight so now mills with the bases loaded and
12:12nobody out to face willie adamas it was adamas who got a two strike two runs single to right his
12:18last
12:19time out and a base hit pass mookie backs and they're going to hold devers at third a run comes
12:25in
12:26and it's now seven to three and adamas has another rbi and would like to join the party he's 0
12:344 4
12:35and the wall easiest rbi you can get well I mean Bader he fought that hamstring problem all spring I
12:43don't think he was ever right before he went on the I.L. after 15 games once the season started
12:47but he's moving a lot better now and he chops this one and they're going to get one and rodriguez
12:55is going to get an rbi is coming in to score is ramo all giants here late nine three ball
13:01game to
13:02the bottom of the ninth inning jt brubaker's on to pitch for san francisco looking for the last three
13:06outs shohei ohtani steps in he's 0 4 4 and ohtani with a big swing and a miss
13:15and that is the way it's been going lately for shohei ohtani especially against the giants he has
13:21now won for 18 against giants pitching this year but here's mookie bats just off the injured list
13:32and that's the ball game the giants win game one of this four game series the dodgers dropped their
13:38third in a row in blowout fashion nine to three to the giants coming off a 500 road trip this
13:45is not
13:46the way they wanted to start this homestand
13:48honorable
