00:05Coming at you from Southern
00:07California it is the third and
00:08final game of the thing we like
00:10to call the freeway series it's
00:11when the Dodgers have taken the
00:12first two angels hoping to avoid
00:15the speed race Rodriguez will
00:17take on the Dodgers here today
00:18it's been roughly 700 days since
00:20he's pitched in a major league
00:21game and just walking by on the
00:22way down to the bullpen today
00:23we were doing the pregame show
00:25he had that look he is a big
00:26strong competitor he wants to go
00:28out there and go and prove that
00:30everyone that he is going to be
00:31a dominant pitcher and ace type
00:32stuff on the mound for the Halos
00:34for a number of years he's two
00:35for two with a homerun and a walk
00:37against Grayson Rodriguez but
00:39again it's been so long since
00:41anybody has seen the righty pitch
00:43the 1 0 pitch smokes it in the
00:46right center field for a lead off
00:48base hit gives up a base hit to
00:50the first batter that he faces
00:51Ohtani is on with a single and
00:54now Freddie Freeman here's a
00:56ground ball grab by shadow on
00:58the backhand flips it to second
00:59base netto hurries at the first
01:01back to double play nice job all
01:03the way around no panic for
01:04Sean while we do a nice little
01:06change up over to netto but
01:07netto seeing the pitcher going
01:09over there Grayson did a real
01:10nice job getting to the bag
01:11before stretching nice double
01:13play turn it was difficult one
01:15to turn is a three six one
01:17double play wipes away Ohtani's
01:19leadoff single now two gone for
01:21Andy Pajas as Andy Pajas rules
01:25one a third might have broken his
01:26back either way it's Grayson
01:28Rodriguez with a scoreless first
01:29in his Angels debut great to see
01:31Grayson Rodriguez on a big league
01:33mound first time since July 31st
01:35of 2024 but he said just so
01:37grateful to be back on a big
01:38league mound credit to his family
01:40for getting through the dark days
01:41of the rehab process here we are
01:43Tucker had last night off enters
01:45today hitting 248 for home runs and
01:48he's driven in 20 Tucker flips it
01:52to right field the Dale hustling
01:53after it and he's not going to get
01:55there a blue face hit speed
01:58pitch and Tucker was out in front
02:00hit a run off the end of the band
02:01so big swing but not a lot of
02:03velocity back to back innings to
02:05start the game the Dodgers put the
02:06leadoff man on with a hit Oscar
02:08Hernandez swinging a miss and
02:10there's his first strikeout in an
02:12Angels uniform he's been involved
02:14in a double play already a 3 6 1
02:15then he picks up his first
02:16punch out that's a pitch to even
02:18though it's the upper part of the
02:19strike zone it's a tough one to
02:20hit it's a right handed batter
02:21against a right handed pitcher
02:22back to back walks races are
02:24loaded here and Miguel Rojas do a
02:27go Haas flies it to right Adele
02:30waiting on it tagging at third is
02:32Tucker he's coming home here's the
02:34throw home it's cut off by
02:35shot sacrifice fly from Rojas
02:381-0 Dodgers Muncy also advanced on
02:42the play now first and third two
02:44out in the second has sung Kim at
02:46the plate rushing takes off and Kim
02:48belts a base hits a right to score
02:50Muncy rushing goes from first to
02:53third an RBI single for Comet and a
02:562-0 Dodger lead Kim was right on it
03:00hanging strike be nice to see Kim get
03:03hot again two across for the Dodgers in
03:05this inning and he's not done yet
03:08at the face Shohei Ohtani runner
03:10going from first and he'll steal
03:12second base uncontested things
03:15that might have been strike three
03:16and I think he's going to be right
03:18on this one Shohei Ohtani take
03:19strike three and the inning is
03:21over and it is over but a pair of
03:22run score Sasaki ready for start
03:25number eight coming off and no
03:26decision against San Francisco
03:28five innings three earned runs
03:30and six hits including a homer one
03:32walk in five K's to nothing L.A.
03:34be five six and seven for the
03:36Angels against Roki Sasaki swung on
03:39and miss strike three the splitter
03:41struck him out it just fell off the
03:43table second strikeout for Sasaki
03:46here's Joe Adele at the plate and he
03:48puts him away as well second
03:50consecutive strikeout third in the
03:52game two down routes with Josh Lowe at
03:55the plate swung on ground at the
03:56first Freddie's got it on a good
03:58hop underhand toss to Sasaki
04:00covering and that's the third out
04:02one two three go the Angels
04:03Roki Sasaki getting ready for the
04:06third inning he's already pitched
04:07two scoreless and not walked a
04:09batter Sasaki with another
04:11strikeout he's up to four in the
04:12game that's the first out of the
04:14third inning a one two to Frazier
04:16got him swinging rushing want to
04:20throw to Freeman to make it
04:21official two consecutive K's in two
04:24consecutive innings Zack Netto will
04:26bat he lined out his first time a
04:29match this season high in strikeouts
04:31already with five fly to right
04:33field Tucker drifting toward the
04:35corner and he makes the catch and
04:36his side retired so Rodriguez walks
04:39the leadoff man in this fourth
04:40inning it's third walk issued by
04:43Rodriguez two outs in the inning
04:45still the runner at first Miguel
04:46Rojas is the batter Rojas with the
04:49ground ball base hit in the left
04:51field two out single to a board for
04:53Hesson Kim Kim with an RBI base hit
04:56on the second inning it's put in
04:58play but right to Sean Ouell he's
05:00thrown to first Kim can fly he's
05:02safe that brief split second of
05:04indecision from Sean Ouell and
05:06Rodriguez coming to the bag unable
05:08to get the final out of the inning
05:10when he thought they might be going
05:11to second he hesitated as much as
05:13his first baseman and that was the
05:15half a stride that made Kim safe
05:19continues the inning and loads the
05:21bases and now here's Oltani first
05:24pitch it's a base hit in the right
05:26center field Hernandez in Rojas to a
05:31two run single for Shohei Oltani and
05:34now a four nothing Dodger lead and
05:37RBI is coming in bunches for number
05:39seventeen Shohei is on the RBI
05:42train for pitch walk to reload the
05:45bases Andy Pies can make it a lot
05:47more he has been their best run
05:48producer so far this year that's a
05:51line shot and it's through Kim and
05:55Oltani will score without throws
05:57the Dodgers keep the line moving
06:00well Andy has had the power swing
06:03lately but he has not have the
06:04batting average swing lately but this
06:07hit it's powerful on a line and get
06:10some two RBI's six runs for
06:13Rodriguez in his debut with the team
06:15it is six nothing as he heads out
06:17Kyle Tucker will face right hander
06:18Jose Fermin his second appearance
06:21Fermin to Tucker a base hit
06:26Freddie Freeman waved home the
06:29Dodgers have batted around in the
06:31fourth inning and now lead by seven
06:33it has been some two out thunder
06:35without the ball leaving the ball
06:37park Dodgers in this series looking
06:39like they're going to be set up
06:41perfectly for a sweep today five
06:44for six with their wrist as the
06:47only angel hit so far in this game
06:48that was the one out double in the
06:50bottom of the first he's now
