00:01Wednesday night baseball from
00:03Dodger Stadium and tonight is
00:04the Giants and Dodgers.
00:06This is game three of a four
00:07game series.
00:08The rivalry continues.
00:10Look the Giants have won two
00:11straight here in L.A.
00:13They're four and one against the
00:14Dodgers this year.
00:16It's a lot better than it was
00:17last year.
00:18All in all the club right now
00:19seems to be playing very very
00:21well.
00:21Shohei Otani brings in his
00:23major league best 0-9-7 ERA
00:25trying to put an end to this
00:26four game losing streak.
00:28No matter what stat you look
00:29at he is dominating.
00:30Pay off the lead starting this
00:32game bouncing one towards the
00:33middle Mookie Betts.
00:36Really nice range when the ball
00:38is hit it looks like nobody's
00:40there but Mookie scoops it up.
00:43It was well done.
00:43So here now is Luis Arise.
00:46Arise to Rojas.
00:48Two up.
00:49Two down.
00:50And it's a two out walk.
00:52Otani didn't walk anybody last
00:54Tuesday in Houston.
00:55He's got one here tonight in the
00:57first.
00:57Rafael Devers the batter.
00:58And a ground ball up the middle
01:00and a base hit.
01:01And Ramos reads it well as he will
01:03head to third.
01:04And Devers shoots one right
01:05through the infield.
01:06And now he's going to give
01:08Eldridge a shot.
01:09Otani a strike away from
01:10finishing the first inning.
01:11Here's the 0-2.
01:13Got him.
01:14Swings and misses on a sweeper
01:15breaking down and in.
01:17His first strikeout ends his
01:18first inning.
01:19Strands the two two out base
01:20runners.
01:21Scorless going to the bottom of
01:22the first.
01:22Aubrey Ray on the hill tonight for
01:24the Giants.
01:24You see his numbers through eight
01:25starts.
01:25Three and four with a 2-7-6 ERA.
01:28A different looking lineup for the
01:29Dodgers today with the domino
01:31effect of Shohei Otani getting the
01:32day off from hitting.
01:33So Mookie Batts slides up and
01:35leads off.
01:35And the other thing is that he's
01:36not going to be out there either
01:37tomorrow.
01:38Dave Roberts showing that he wants
01:39to give Shohei a few days to
01:41reset mentally and physically.
01:43Swing.
01:44High fly ball to right coming in
01:45one on the ball.
01:46Jung-Hoo Lee waiting for it and
01:49he's got it.
01:50Right handed hitting lineup tonight
01:52for the Dodgers.
01:53Only two lefties.
01:54Freddie and Kyle Tucker.
01:55Dave Roberts selected a lot of
01:57his right handers.
01:59Freeman bangs a base hit into
02:00center field.
02:02One of the two lefties squares it
02:04up and gives the Dodgers a two
02:05out base runner.
02:06Freddie is just not any lefty.
02:08He's Freddie Freeman.
02:09The 2-2.
02:10Here it is.
02:11Got him.
02:12First strikeout for Robbie Ray
02:14after one.
02:15It's nothing nothing.
02:16Adamus 0 for 6 against Ohtani
02:18in his career.
02:19Four strikeouts in those six at
02:21bats.
02:22And when you have numbers like
02:23that against a guy it probably
02:24perpetually feels like he's
02:26sitting here at 0 and 2.
02:27Another one right there to get
02:28him flailing.
02:29And so Adamus' struggles against
02:30Ohtani continue.
02:32One away in the second.
02:33In rhythm.
02:34Fires 0-2.
02:36Chapman gets to this.
02:38Sends it in the air to right
02:38center field.
02:39No big deal for Kyle Tucker.
02:41Two up and two down.
02:42In the second.
02:43Now the 1-2.
02:45Up the middle.
02:47That's.
02:47And it's only 2-3 second.
02:50Tucker's got a leadoff double.
02:51His surge continues.
02:53Second game in a row with a
02:54two bagger for Tucker.
02:56Well the two lefties are hitting
02:57pretty good against him.
02:58Yeah.
02:59Hit up the middle.
03:01Arise thought about going to
03:02third but he gets the out at
03:04first and Tucker goes to third.
03:07The reason Rojas is playing is
03:08he's got a double and three
03:10lifetime home runs against
03:12Robbie Ray in just 20 at
03:14bats.
03:15Shallow center field for
03:16Gilbert.
03:19Gilbert will catch and get it
03:21back in.
03:22Good as a strikeout.
03:23Two down.
03:24When you don't play for a while
03:25and you get a man on third and
03:26less than two outs and don't
03:28get him in.
03:28And it feels terrible.
03:30Oh it's called to the rescue.
03:32Swing and there's a pop up.
03:34Out toward the pitcher's mound.
03:36Chapman over from third.
03:38On the grass.
03:39Makes the catch.
03:40On the third base side of the
03:41mound.
03:42A leadoff double by Tucker but he
03:44gets stranded.
03:45Nothing nothing as we go to the
03:47third.
03:47Rodriguez with his second start of
03:49the series.
03:50He's got to step out of the box
03:51and recalibrate.
03:52First time he's faced Shohei
03:54Ohtani.
03:55He hits it to left center field.
03:56Pajas has the read and he makes
03:58the catch plenty room to spare
04:00one up ball and two strikes for
04:02Lee bounced over Ohtani said
04:04coming in bats in the glove
04:05transfers and throws nicely done
04:07two away second walk of the
04:09game for Shohei to throw his
04:1120th pitch of the inning and
04:12Arise is caught between first
04:14and second but they're saying a
04:15balk on Ohtani Arise was
04:17pointing as he was running from
04:19first to second base.
04:21No no no no.
04:21Well that's just not paying
04:22attention to runner.
04:24Ohtani taps the chest say
04:25that's on me.
04:26I thought he was in the
04:28full windup position he forgot
04:30there was a runner on base and
04:31now there's a runner in scoring
04:32position.
04:33Ohtani looks at Arise and comes
04:34home scalded the right center
04:37field but Pajas is there to make
04:39the catch so a line out from
04:40Ramos ends the inning.
04:42Now Ohtani and Arise will share a
04:44fun conversation.
04:46Santiago Espinal who is a
04:47teammate of Robbie Ray's in
04:49Toronto in the 2021 season when
04:51Ray won the Cy Young.
04:52Cracks one in the air left center
04:54field sends Ramos back.
04:58He takes his all-teammate deep and
05:01gives the Dodgers the early lead.
05:04Espinal's first as a Dodger.
05:06First run of the night one nothing
05:07here in the third.
05:08Back to Mookie Betts.
05:09Still no outs in the third.
05:11Now it's Betts getting into one.
05:13Way back there.
05:14Kiss it goodbye.
05:16They've gone back to back.
05:18Good to see him move.
05:19First home run off the injured
05:21list is third of the season.
05:23Two nothing Dodgers in a blink.
05:26Well Betts has already shown how
05:28much he can impact his ball club
05:30and it's good to see him back.
05:31Devers look disjointed right
05:32there as if he was asking for
05:34time.
05:35There's a beach ball on the
05:36field.
05:36I think that pitch is going to
05:37count though.
05:38Devers having a fun time with his
05:40old buddy here his old teammate
05:41Mookie Betts.
05:42Mookie saying what do you want me to
05:43do about that beach ball on right
05:44field.
05:45Beach ball is cleared now.
05:46Ohtani into his windup.
05:48And Devers down to a knee and
05:50down on three pitches.
05:52Ohtani made him look silly with
05:53that sweeper.
05:552-2.
05:56High.
05:57He'd strike three swinging.
05:59I mean that was a high fastball
06:01even for the 6'7 Eldridge and he
06:03couldn't lay off.
06:04Back to back punch outs to start
06:05the inning.
06:06Part of the Giants order here.
06:07He struck out Devers.
06:08He struck out Eldridge.
06:09He fires one two.
06:12And strikes out Adamas.
06:15Ohtani strikes out the side.
06:16And in the fourth he's got five
06:18total over four scoreless.
06:20Kyle Tucker two for two with two
06:23doubles.
06:24We're not able to pick him up in
06:25the second inning after the lead
06:27up double to see if they can get
06:29him to touch home plate here.
06:30In scoring position for Teoscar
06:32Hernandez.
06:33out and 0-1.
06:34Hernandez pokes one over first and
06:37down the line.
06:39Tucker jogging for the plate.
06:41Lee will toss it into second and
06:43it's 3-0 as Hernandez comes through
06:46with a little butterfly down the
06:47right field line.
06:49Alex Call will bat.
06:50First and third.
06:51No outs.
06:52Right side of the infield is wide
06:53open if Paul wants to continue the
06:55opposite field trend.
06:56He's popped into right field.
06:58Lee sprints on near the foul line.
07:00Hernandez tagging.
07:01Lee makes the catch.
07:03Hernandez coming home and there
07:04will be no throw.
07:05And it's a sacrifice fly for Alex
07:08Call to make it 4-0 Dodgers.
07:10Now at 69 pitches beginning of
07:12the fifth.
07:13Another 1-2.
07:14Got him.
07:15Swinging through a fastball at
07:1798 is Chapman.
07:18And he sits down to give Ohtani
07:20four consecutive K's.
07:21The 2-2.
07:23Swing and a miss.
07:24Strike three.
07:25Sits him down with a sweeper.
07:27Bookending K's in a scoreless 1-2-3-5.
07:30Back-to-back walks for the Dodgers
07:32in the fifth.
07:33Two for two.
07:34Two doubles tonight.
07:35Has two on and one out in the
07:36fifth.
07:38To first.
07:40Endeavors.
07:40Chucks it to second for one.
07:42Back to first.
07:43In time double play.
07:45Wow.
07:47Impressive stuff from Raphael
07:49Devers there.
07:50Who's made the transition to
07:51first base for the Giants.
07:54Yeah.
07:54It shows that he's acclimated
07:56pretty well.
07:56Adamas his own teammate looks
07:58like he's in disbelief that they
08:00got this.
08:00Did he get his foot to the bag?
08:02That's what I'm wondering.
08:03No.
08:03It's going to be safe.
08:04Beat it out.
08:06Yeah.
08:06It was a very nice play by
08:08Devers.
08:11Aggressive throw to second and
08:13it was accurate that even an
08:14opportunity to make this
08:16close after the call on the
08:18field is overturned the runner
08:19safe Los Angeles for the
08:20payment count.
08:21That's going to be the end of
08:22the night for Robbie Ray it
08:23appears.
08:24The manager Tony Vitello out to
08:26the mound to take the ball from
08:27Robbie Ray who has thrown 95
08:29pitches already.
08:30So Yoel Peguero the new pitcher
08:32for the Giants comes in for the
08:33fifth time.
08:34He's got a good job.
08:35Two wild pitches in the past
08:36ball.
08:39Chapman with a perfect throw to
08:40end the inning.
08:41So no damage.
08:42Couple of walks.
08:43Four runs of support.
08:44A season high for Shohei.
08:46He's got three the last three
08:47starts combined.
08:48He strikes out eight and for the
08:50second time over the last month
08:52six scoreless against the Giants.
08:54Back to back base hits.
08:56Ohtani north of 100 pitches and
08:58you wonder if he's starting to run
09:00out of gas.
09:01Two aboard and one out.
09:02Young center fielder Drew
09:03Gilbert digs in tying run on deck
09:05for the Giants.
09:06Fly ball deep center field.
09:08Pahez back.
09:09Pahez makes the catch.
09:12Oh Adamus is going to be doubled
09:14up.
09:14Forgot how many outs there were.
09:16He just took off.
09:17He was all the way around third
09:18base and he knew he was so out he
09:20didn't even retouch third base
09:22trying to go back to second.
09:23Man that can't happen.
09:24Ohtani finishes seven innings in
09:26back to back starts.
09:28Four nothing Dodgers.
09:29Kyle Hurt going to try and get the
09:31last three outs.
09:32And it's going to be a ground rule
09:33double for Rafi Devers.
09:35All right well there's a start.
09:37You bet.
09:37Lead off double.
09:38Now Bryce Eldridge the rookie.
09:40Eldridge down on strikes for the
09:42third time in this game.
09:45Backhand play Espinal.
09:47Fires it across and gets him.
09:50That is not easy what he just did.
09:53The backhand difficult.
09:55Giants down to their final out.
09:57Dodgers leading four nothing.
09:59Two outs a runner on second with
10:00Devers.
10:01Two two to check.
10:02There it is.
10:03That's the end of the losing
10:05streak with a well rounded effort
10:07for the Dodgers tonight.
10:09A four to nothing win.
10:11They get seven scores from Ohtani.
10:13Shutting the Giants out.
10:15And back in the win column.
