00:01came at the perfect time didn't
00:03the Dodgers scuffling to finish
00:04off the first half they've been
00:05blazing hot to open the second
00:07half and try to keep on rolling
00:08tonight against the San
00:10Francisco Giants today an
00:11exciting day Tyler Glass now
00:13comes off the injured list he's
00:15going against another veteran
00:16making his debut for the San
00:18Francisco Giants his fifth big
00:20league team and XI Young Award
00:22winner have been more than 400
00:23days since Robbie Ray's throwing
00:25a big league pitch comes back
00:26from Tommy John looking for an
00:28eighth consecutive win over the
00:29San Francisco Giants here and
00:31it's Tyler Glass now taking the
00:32mound for the Dodgers his first
00:34start at almost three weeks
00:36O'Leary who had a couple of
00:37doubles against glass now in that
00:38game in San Francisco and a lead
00:41off walk from Glasnow Lamont
00:44Wade Wade sends a fly ball to
00:46left field there's Miguel Vargas
00:48the first out of the game here's
00:51the pitch oh you bet just
00:53absolutely froze him three
00:55pitches three strikes one out for
00:58glass now two down in this inning
00:59and that is low it's another walk
01:02here now is Michael Conforto with
01:04an 0-2 it's a hammer of a curve
01:06ball no swing glass now set it off
01:08in the mound but Stu Sherwater who
01:10didn't make any friends last night
01:11behind the plate won't make any
01:13right there so now one two from
01:15glass now it is back to the curve
01:17this time home plate umpire Mark
01:19Carlson takes it into his own hands
01:21and says I got this one strike
01:23three all right Robbie Ray not
01:27liking it Giants not liking it
01:29uh horse doo doo says Bob Melvin
01:32Robbie Ray on the hill tonight
01:34making his debut for the Giants
01:362021 he was the Cy Young award
01:38winner this is the first pitch for
01:39Robbie Ray as this is hit high and
01:43deep to left and caught in front of
01:46the wall wow an action-packed
01:49beginning to the first game in
01:53Robbie Ray's career in 18 months
01:55that one might hit will it did so
02:00the Dodgers have their first base
02:01runner as Smith gets hit by the
02:03pitch and he watches ball forward
02:05down and away so the last two have
02:07reached to a board for Teoscar
02:09Hernandez runs this one to the
02:11backstop and his second wild pitch
02:13of his first inning puts him at
02:14second and third seen a lot of 90
02:17foot gifts in this inning hit
02:20fast for the walk wild pitch that
02:22hits Hernandez in the feet well
02:25and you know you don't think it's
02:26possible but a 10 year veteran
02:28could have opening night jitters
02:30just like a rookie 18 months money
02:33that's a long time and it really
02:35is like you start start your whole
02:36career over veteran catch Kirk
02:39and Sally's out there taking charge
02:40and saying take a breath we got
02:42you and so now he's got the base
02:44load in the infield is in double
02:46play depth and it's takes ball
02:48for Dodgers take the lead well
02:51Smith in the score one that I
02:54think it's not like he's getting
02:56pinched either by Mark Carlson and
02:58he's really been wild to try and
03:00find calm when you get a huge surge
03:03of adrenaline it's it's not an
03:04easy thing Brian Price going to
03:06come out make a couple of
03:07suggestions this chance for the
03:09Dodgers really to crack this thing
03:11open right away bases loaded one
03:13out they've got one in the bank
03:14now two out Chris Taylor at the
03:17plate let's go side retired how
03:22about that for Robbie Ray gets
03:24himself in trouble gives up a run
03:26and then gets out of it swing and
03:28a miss he struck him out that was
03:30a slider more out over the plate
03:31this time second strikeout for Ray
03:36and Ahmed in his first at bat as a
03:38Dodger first game as a Dodger
03:39comes against the team that just
03:41cut him loose you're talking
03:43about how he was a Dodger killer
03:44he has eight home runs at Dodger
03:46Stadium in his career not a big
03:48home run check swing did he go
03:49yes he did they played up high
03:51makes the call himself Carlson
03:53rings up Nick Ahmed and Mark
03:56Carlson who's got the quick
03:58trigger he does struck him out
04:02swinging with the high fastball up
04:04out of the zone and he strikes out
04:06the side that was a little more
04:09satisfying for Ray he's walked both
04:12times up to really like a true
04:14leadoff style hitter the Giants
04:16have two on with nobody out for
04:18Lamont Wade jr to a pitch taken a
04:21center field pot has comes in and
04:23makes the catch in right center or
04:24excuse me left center ranging to
04:26his right brings up Elliott Ramos
04:28struck out looking his first time
04:30bouncing ball Ahmed Taylor
04:34second double play pitcher's best
04:37friend and he's needed that friend
04:39tonight Chapman walked in the first
04:42inning when he was going they were
04:45going collectively Giants were
04:46leading the National League in runs
04:48for about a month stretch mid-May to
04:51mid-June and Chapman is right at the
04:53middle of that hammer to center
04:54field Pa has back Pa has look it up
04:59out of here and this game is tied a
05:03high fastball and he got on top of
05:05it what an impressive swing that
05:07was that was way up sort of like he
05:10tomahawked it out Chapman with the
05:12home run it's one to one his 14th
05:15home run tying Elliott Ramos for the
05:17team lead what a great job by
05:20Fitzgerald to turn that Hernandez
05:22played that as well as he could and
05:25he's still got an extra base hit
05:28Tyler Fitzgerald just electric speed
05:31there so runner in scoring position
05:34one out for you Stremski up the
05:36middle and a base hit and here comes
05:39Fitzgerald and Paz is going to kick
05:41it around it wouldn't matter and the
05:43Giants take the lead so you Stremski
05:45had a good at bat got a pitch away and
05:48just kind of slapped it right back up
05:50the middle Fitzgerald did the score
05:52it's two to one Giants flipped in the
05:54shallow center field Ramos is there
05:56to a chance got to be fired up about
05:59what they're getting here from Robbie
06:00Ray here's Chris Taylor with two down
06:02and nobody on six got him strike at
06:06number six and a shutdown inning
06:08swing and a miss he struck him out a
06:1097 mile an hour fastball right over
06:12the outside corner it's just country
06:16hard grab some time old friend so seven
06:19strikeouts in four and two third
06:20innings and here comes Ohtani he
06:22throws swing and a miss he struck it
06:25out the high fastball exploding up and
06:28out of the zone on the inside at 96
06:30miles an hour and that may be the final
06:33pitch that he will throw tonight but he
06:36ends up retiring 14 straight Dodgers and
06:39is not allowed a hit in five innings and
06:42has eight strikeouts grounding out to
06:44second here in the seventh now up to
06:46Chris Taylor Taylor in the right
06:48center field there it goes first hit of
06:51the game he tries to get in the scoring
06:53position and he will hope he's okay
06:58that's not good that is not about the
07:02slide oh man yeah Chris when he's
07:05getting it going so Taylor has his
07:08teammates checking on him in the
07:10dugout right now it's just an on the
07:12ground wisely to Wade side retired
07:17three ground ball the Brett wisely
07:19says some similar feelings to the
07:22outing in Cincinnati with Dave
07:24Roberts had to come out and put his
07:25arms around Ramirez this time it's
07:27Mark Pryor who's not as much of a
07:29hugger and the bases are loaded with
07:32nobody out with your stream ski the
07:34left handed hitter coming up and he
07:35said right field one runs going to
07:37score and they're going to hold up
07:39the back runner and the bases stay
07:41loaded a run in and the sellout
07:44crowd is starting to moan and groan
07:46still nobody out with the bases
07:48loaded and now Patrick Bailey is
07:50going to pinch hit line drive base
07:52hit another run for the Giants and
07:55now it is four to one a base hit
07:58for Bailey Roberts comes out the
08:01Giants are leading now four to one
08:04game that's it for Ramirez so Kelly
08:06comes in four to one game in the
08:08eighth big tapper this is going to
08:12get a run so Larry's out coming in
08:16to score is Fitzgerald so it's now
08:19five to one San Francisco ninth
08:21batter of the inning Elia Ramos on
08:24the ground down the line yes
08:27he scores Bailey scores and the
08:32Giants it's now a seven to one
08:35lead well that has to feel pretty
08:37good for this offense or maybe I
08:39haven't scored five runs on the
08:40road since June 17th and they do
08:42it in one day he's going to Chapman
08:44started out this hitting by
08:46drawing a walk to an open swing
08:48and a hard ground ball up the
08:50middle in the center field base
08:51hit and Wade is going to be waved
08:53home he is limping here comes the
08:55throw and he's going to be cold
08:57safe Will Smith missed the tag
08:59Wade was limping Matt Williams
09:02waved him home anyway and I think
09:06he did Will Smith missed the tag on
09:09him Wade with a fadeaway slide
09:10reaching back with his left hand
09:12and Will Smith just out and out
09:14missed him back to that case
09:16against the top of the order top
09:18three in the Dodger lineup in this
09:19series combined two for thirty
09:25three in the league between his
09:30Fremski and Ramos his friends who
09:31couldn't see it almost didn't
09:34realize that and it's a gift of an
09:37RBI double for Freddie Freeman
09:39eight to two second time in the
09:41series that this has happened and
09:43it's absolutely hard to believe
09:44how about that that's where hitting
09:47the game starts off the dials
09:48pinch hit appearances but not the
09:50Barnes a ten gamers Dodgers trying
09:53to do tonight and more with the
09:56Giants did last night which has
09:58just put the scare into the other
10:00side in the ninth inning there's
10:02the old bounces on the first way
10:04to go to second for the first
10:06not in time but has in the store
10:09there's the first out of the
10:10inning it's eight to three now
10:12Quique Hernandez one out of one
10:14in Chapman wisely Wade and that's
10:20the ball game so the Giants win
10:23their second game on this road
10:24trip with their first game in
10:26this ballpark this year and a
10:29really really nice win and a
10:31welcome back Robbie Ray
