00:01The White Sox are one win away from another series victory over an elite opponent.
00:07They've won three straight, eight straight here at home in 20 of their last 30.
00:11The only other team with a better record in that span is the Milwaukee Brewers,
00:15and they're just going to continue that here today.
00:18There is the unicorn, Shohei Otanik.
00:21He will be in the starting lineup today after getting the night off last night.
00:25He is going to be a tough test for the White Sox.
00:28And a leadoff laser on the south side.
00:33And you can see why he is one of the best players in the world.
00:37He's such a devastating player.
00:38Then factor in that he goes to the mound and nobody hits him,
00:41and he goes to the batter's box and he hits everybody.
00:44That's a good combination.
00:45You're just in amazement when you see a player of that caliber being able to do the things that he
00:50can do.
00:50Well, I think these days this is the equivalent of the big red machine.
00:54Each and every guy was out there to just kill you.
00:56I think the Dodgers are similar.
00:58Bouncing ball up the middle.
00:59Fielded it short.
01:00No, it's through Montgomery and Mydrath.
01:04And an infield single for Betts.
01:05Even if Colson makes this play, you're not going to get Betts at first base.
01:09Even though the ball gets away, Mookie Betts was not looking, so he stays at first.
01:13Continues the inning and brings up Max Muncy.
01:15Muncy, the 3-0 green light high in the air to deep right field.
01:20Max Power.
01:22Second Dodger home run of the first inning.
01:24Number 15 for Muncy.
01:26And it's 3-0 L.A.
01:28And once again, it's a fastball that has too much of the plate.
01:30Well, this is how deep this Dodgers lineup is.
01:33Here at the bottom of the first, Yoshinobu Yamamoto with a 3-0 lead already.
01:37He's ERA on the season.
01:39He's lowered it basically by a full run in just the last four starts alone.
01:44Right at Max Muncy at third.
01:45He hauls in the line, driving there two down.
01:47And Intendi rolls it to Freddie Freeman.
01:49Freddie's got it underhand toss to Yamamoto, covering in a clean first inning
01:53as the White Sox go down in order.
01:55Seven left-hand hitters for the Dodgers.
01:57Three of them have supreme power, and that's rushing.
02:00The second walk that Burke has given up here in this second inning.
02:03Dodgers leading 3-0 early.
02:05Two on and two out in the top of the second.
02:07A 2-2 pitch.
02:08Strike three.
02:09High fastball beats him.
02:11No runs, no hits.
02:12Two men left on base.
02:14After an inning and a half, it's the Dodgers three.
02:16White Sox nothing.
02:17Colson Montgomery.
02:18It is his bobblehead day here today.
02:20Ground ball charged by Freeland on the move.
02:23And Montgomery retired.
02:25Yamamoto, 27, signed a 12-year, $325 million deal when he came over from Japan.
02:32Six up, six down for Yamamoto.
02:34Three strikeouts.
02:35Sean quite obviously does not have his rhythm today.
02:38This is not his best stuff.
02:40The Dodgers are a bad team to struggle against with less than your best.
02:44And the third walk that Burke has given up today.
02:46You gotta remember, we keep talking about this White Sox team.
02:49First place, yes.
02:51Inexperienced, inexperienced, and inexperienced.
02:53Yes, yes, and yes.
02:54Kyle Tucker looking for his first hit of the series.
02:57Broken bat toward right field.
03:00Down for a hit.
03:01Mookie's gonna wheel on in.
03:03RBI single for Kyle Tucker to make it 4-0 Dodgers.
03:07Kyle Tucker, is he excited about the process and the hitting the ball like that?
03:12Probably not.
03:13But the hit?
03:14Absolutely.
03:15Ryan Ward with a chance.
03:17One out.
03:17Ball four.
03:18Load him up for Dalton Rushing.
03:1937 strikes and 36 balls for Burke.
03:23Against Yamamoto, he can't give up much more.
03:25Ground ball to second.
03:26My drop plays the big hop shoulder high.
03:29And will throw to first.
03:31The White Sox escape big damage.
03:334-0 LA.
03:35First on through, the White Sox are trying to figure out Yamamoto,
03:38who has faced the minimum through two.
03:40He throws the splitter.
03:41And then, out of the same release point, he throws a high fastball.
03:45And coming out of his hand, you can't really tell which is which.
03:47That's one of the reasons why he's so tough to square up.
03:51The Sox are nine up and nine down.
03:53They trill 4-0.
03:54Show you how Watani leads things off here in this top of the fourth.
03:57A home run and a walk today.
03:59And the second time that he has walked.
04:01Burke with 82 pitches already, so it's not going to be a long afternoon for him.
04:06Runner up the middle into center field.
04:08So Pagas picks up his first hit today as the first two Dodgers reach in the fourth inning.
04:13Knowing that you can't go deep into a game with this pitch count,
04:16but you just start to empty the tank here in this fourth inning.
04:18Double play turned.
04:20Couldn't ask for anything better than that one.
04:22Now Sean is an out away from getting out of this.
04:242-2.
04:25Paints a fastball for strike three.
04:27Burke gets out of it.
04:29Still a 4-0 game.
04:31We talked about Yamamoto and what he did in the World Series last year.
04:34It was absolutely incredible.
04:36You win those MVPs in the World Series, you have a tendency for the fandom to really like you.
04:42And on the hands, caught by Freeman.
04:44And two outs in this fourth.
04:46Take the first Japanese-born pitcher to win World Series MVP.
04:51Another 1-2-3 inning for the Dodgers ace, Yoshinobu Yamamoto.
04:56So Joe Rock makes his White Sox debut as he faces Muncie, Tucker, and Ward.
05:03Tapper off the plate.
05:04Rock, weird spin.
05:06And he's not going to have a play.
05:08Kyle Tucker got jammed his last time up, broke his bat, but still delivered an RBI single in the right
05:12field.
05:12And that one's going to hit Kyle Tucker.
05:15More traffic for L.A.
05:17Pinch hitting for Ryan Ward is Alex Call.
05:19Ground ball.
05:20By draw.
05:21Starts it off.
05:21Montgomery to first.
05:23And double play turn.
05:25That's two double plays in as many innings.
05:27Double plays that make a difference and they all seem to.
05:300-2.
05:31He's chopped to the shortstop.
05:33Montgomery will throw to first and he gets Rojas.
05:37Joe Rock with a scoreless inning in his Sox debut.
05:40The Dodgers strand a couple.
05:41A lot of zeros for the White Sox.
05:44Facing Yoshinobu Yamamoto.
05:46Starting this bottom of the fifth inning.
05:48I'd like to think that this would be the inning that this mastery is broken up.
05:52Going away to start this bottom of the fifth.
05:54Lined out in the center, but it's going to hold up for Pajas and he's got it.
05:59And everyone hoping for the first hit of the ball game for the White Sox.
06:02Swung on and missed.
06:04Strike three.
06:05Got him.
06:05And Yoshinobu Yamamoto is perfect through five innings.
06:09So Sox pitchers have now given up eight walks today.
06:12The season high is ten.
06:14That's been done three times.
06:16So the bases are loaded on walks.
06:18At the moment they're one out of ten with runners in scoring position.
06:22So they lead for nothing.
06:24They could have more.
06:25The 3-0.
06:27Tucker takes.
06:28Ball four to bring in a run.
06:30As the Dodgers now make it a 5-0 ball game.
06:34Still no activity in the White Sox bullpen.
06:36Came off the bench.
06:37Pinch hitting in the fifth.
06:38Grounded into a double play.
06:40Called strike three.
06:41Dodgers add one to their lead on four walks.
06:44No hits in the inning.
06:45They leave three.
06:46Bottom six.
06:48Yamamoto didn't like the dirt in front of the mound.
06:51You see the big hole there.
06:52Like big Joe Rock was digging something out there.
06:55And the grounds crew will be called on for the White Sox to fill that hole.
07:00All part of the plan.
07:02To disrupt Yamamoto who's been unhittable.
07:05Murakami having some fun with him.
07:07He said yep that's how we did it.
07:09That was it.
07:09This was planned all along.
07:11Jacob Gonzalez leads things off.
07:13As Gonzalez goes down swinging out number one.
07:16And Yamamoto so far doing it against a lineup that had been red hot going into action today.
07:23As Tristan Peters steps in.
07:24On the ground.
07:25Stopped at first by Freddie.
07:27The toss to Yamamoto out number two.
07:30Gloves saved down at first base by Freddie.
07:33That was an elite play right there.
07:35With two outs it's Edgar Carroll the nine batter.
07:38Fly ball from Carroll.
07:39Called toward the line.
07:41Reaches out.
07:42Makes the catch as he crashes into the wall.
07:46Yoshinobu Yamamoto.
07:48Perfect through six innings in Chicago.
07:50Dodgers up five to nothing against the White Sox.
07:53Bottom of the seventh.
07:54It's not the offense is the story.
07:56It's Yoshinobu Yamamoto.
07:57On a 2-2.
07:58Antonachi.
08:00Strikes out swinging.
08:01He strikes out Antonachi for the second time.
08:04And that's 19 straight retired.
08:06Yamamoto has been in control all afternoon.
08:10The hard to left.
08:11Call is there.
08:12Two out.
08:13Yamamoto retired the final.
08:1422 he fakes in his last start.
08:17Popped in the air.
08:18Third base side.
08:20Muncie.
08:21Is there.
08:2221 up.
08:2421 down.
08:25Multi hit game for Betts.
08:27Started the game two for two.
08:28Two singles.
08:28Two runs.
08:29Struck out in each of his last two plate appearances.
08:31Betts serves one into right.
08:33An opposite field single.
08:34His third hit of the game.
08:35Once he hit a two run homer in the first.
08:37Walked in the second.
08:38Reached on an infield single in the fifth.
08:40And walked again in the sixth.
08:42Fly ball.
08:44Right center field.
08:45Back at the wall.
08:47Muncie's got another.
08:48Just like in the first inning.
08:50Betts singles.
08:51And Muncie homers.
08:53Mack gets a slider out over the plate.
08:56A favorable count right there.
08:58And.
08:58Muncie retakes the club lead in home runs with his 16th of the season.
09:02Yama pleads it right back to studying.
09:04Facing the middle of the White Sox lineup in the bottom of the eighth.
09:07The seven run lead.
09:08It's a payoff to the shortstop.
09:11Montgomery.
09:12Lines it to Freeman and he's there.
09:14Freddie not messing around with the glove this afternoon.
09:17That thing has got gold written all over it.
09:19Snags his line drive.
09:2122 up.
09:2222 down for Yamamoto.
09:24Braden Montgomery.
09:26Right fielder.
09:27Left handed hitter.
09:28Betts has it.
09:28Sets his feet.
09:29Side arms to first.
09:30Two away.
09:32Four outs to get for Yamamoto.
09:34Again from a defensive standpoint you have to be telling yourself.
09:37Look I dare you to hit the ball to me.
09:39Absolutely double dare you to hit the ball.
09:41Pesky as White Sox.
09:43Digs in.
09:44Chase Mydroth.
09:45He's been on base each of the last 22 games.
09:48The 1-1 to Mydroth.
09:51Rolled the short.
09:53Bobbled by Betts and Mydroth aboard.
09:57The first base runner of the game.
09:59Comes in a two out slow roller to shortstop.
10:03Dodgers fans are stunned right now.
10:06A routine ground ball to short.
10:09Espinall went over to try to back up but he just couldn't make the play.
10:12Perfection today but Yamamoto still has a no hitter on the line.
10:16Leading 7-0.
10:18The pitch is a swing and a soft bouncer.
10:22One handed by Espinall.
10:23Throws on the first for the out.
10:25The error by Betts ends the perfect game.
10:28But Yamamoto will come out of the ninth and go for his first career no hitter.
10:33He has no hit the White Sox through eight.
10:36And you see the interplay in the dugout.
10:39Mookie feels like digging a hole and crawling in.
10:42That's Chris Woodward talking to him.
10:43And Yamamoto just finally gives him a little pat as Mookie walks away.
10:49There have been 26 no hitters in the history of the Dodgers.
10:55The last it was four pitchers combining for a no hitter in 2018.
10:59The last individual Clayton Kershaw did it in 2014.
11:04Of course Andy Koufax has four of those.
11:06The pitch count for Yamamoto is 103 through eight.
11:11He threw 14 pitches back in that eighth inning.
11:14But when you're about to accomplish something like that.
11:17Pitch count potentially could throw it out the window.
11:19White Sox will have 8-9-1 in the order.
11:23Coming to the plate in this ninth inning.
11:25Try to break up this no hitter.
11:27First up Tristan Peters.
11:28Peters in the air down the line in right field.
11:32It is good.
11:33Oh!
11:35Tristan Peters breaks up the no hitter with a home run here in the ninth.
11:40And it took until the bottom of the ninth inning for the White Sox to do anything against him.
11:46Second time he's flirted with a no hitter in the major leagues.
11:49He's got two in Japan as Tristan Peters spoils the afternoon.
11:56Yoshinobu Yamamoto comes out to the mound getting an ovation in Baltimore.
12:01He has had everything working.
12:03And he is three outs away from throwing a no hitter.
12:07Two and one.
12:07Two outs.
12:08Bottom of the ninth.
12:09The pitch.
12:10Swing and a fly ball.
12:11Hit well.
12:11Right field.
12:13Going back is Hernandez.
12:14And it is off the top part of the wall.
12:17Is it in play?
12:18Yes, it is.
12:18Going to second base is Holliday.
12:20Now they're going to call it a home run.
12:22Jackson Holliday with one swing.
12:25The no hitter is gone.
12:27The shutout is gone.
12:29And Yamamoto surrenders the home run with only one out left to get.
12:36I do believe that there's one guy that feels the weight of the world taken off his shoulders.
12:40That's Mookie Betts.
12:41Right center.
12:42Paez is calling for it.
12:44Here's the first out.
12:45Dave Roberts coming out.
12:47He just had to wait till Vessia got loose enough and ready to go.
12:51And Yamamoto will depart.
12:52And in a very classy show of baseball knowledge, Sox fans are standing up and giving him that standing ovation.
13:01What a job that young man did today.
13:05What an effort.
13:06What an absolute great effort by Yoshinobu Yamamoto.
13:10Decian for the 31st time.
13:12ERA a fine 282.
13:14Base is empty.
13:15One out at the bottom of the ninth.
13:16The Dodgers ahead by six.
13:18Ground ball to Muncie.
13:22Two out.
13:23Sox down to their final strike of the ball game.
13:26One two.
13:26Swing and a pop up.
13:28Shallow center.
13:29Coming in Andy Paez waving for it.
13:31He's under it.
13:32He's got it.
13:33And the ball game is over.
13:34That's a win for LA.
13:37Yoshinobu Yamamoto the headliner.
13:38All you can do is look.
13:40Looking off what this man did and almost got that perfect game.
13:45But just a great effort.
13:47Yamamoto perfect into the eighth.
13:50Lost a no hitter.
13:51Leading off the top of the ninth on a solo home run.
13:54But still an outing that we will remember.
13:58The third.
13:58The third.
