00:22live from Dodger Stadium
00:24Interleague Baseball
00:25on MLB The Show
00:27it's the Tampa Bay Rays
00:28taking on the Los Angeles Dodgers
00:35first pitch coming your way next
00:42and on the hill for the Dodgers
00:44Roki Sasaki
00:45what should we keep an eye on here
00:47well it's a three pitch mix
00:49in the repertoire for this starter
00:51he's going to have to command all three
00:53if he's going to have success
00:54on the hill today
00:56ready to go
00:57Richie Palacios
00:58digs in now
01:04and that's how this series begins
01:15here comes the 0-1
01:19right side hard hit
01:21throw on to Freeman
01:23one out in the top of the first
01:25batting second
01:26all right let's take a look at the lineup
01:28collectively they're swinging the bats
01:30really well right now
01:31Chris scoring a lot of runs
01:32indeed it seems to be contagious right now
01:35top to bottom of this lineup
01:36they just seem to be feeding off of one another
01:39one thing I watched in their batting practice
01:41is although they've been scoring a lot of runs lately
01:43they're still paying attention to the details
01:45a lot of balls back up the middle the other way
01:47and that's really the building block for great offensive production
01:51Sasaki
01:52he isn't really known as the starting pitcher that's going to get you deep into the start
01:56it's not that he's not capable he just hasn't proven that he can do it yet
02:07and that is cut out and missed
02:09and it's one and two
02:10he's got such great stuff
02:12you just don't know from start to start
02:14whether it's a potential no hitter
02:16or it's a guy that's only going to give you three or four innings
02:19and they'll do it again
02:22but for the most part with that kind of stuff
02:24you expect him to get to the middle of the ball game
02:31he goes down looking
02:38two outs, space is empty
02:40and now the DH
02:41Jonathan Aranda
02:48what does he need to do
02:50in order to get deeper into the game?
02:53well I'd say it's command of the secondary pitches
02:55because when you're talking about turning over the order a second and third time
02:59and hitters are getting looks
03:01you've got to be able to put a wrinkle on something
03:04change speeds
03:05and locate it enough
03:06and that is that
03:09we're midway in inning number one
03:11no score
03:18ready to go for the last half of the inning
03:20and on the mound for Tampa Bay in this one
03:23Drew Rasmussen
03:24singing he's kind of a road warrior
03:26yeah
03:27Will Smith
03:28steps to the plate for the Dodgers
03:30number 16
03:31Will Smith
03:39the 0-1
03:41yeah that's fouled off
03:50stays alive
04:06here's the 0-2
04:09spoils the two strike pitch
04:10and he'll see another
04:11also really good at bat
04:13what I like about this guy
04:14his bat stays in the zone for a long time
04:16gives him the ability to foul off tough pitches
04:18swings and misses
04:20struck him out
04:21take a look at the lineup
04:23one guy leading the way offensively for this club right now
04:26Alex Cole
04:28tops on the team in batting average Boog
04:30a guy who's showing off some excellent bat to ball ability
04:33when he digs in at the plate
04:34you know that's useful
04:35if your team needs to get an inning going
04:37get a leadoff man on
04:39but it's also incredible to have a guy like that in the lineup
04:42because he's a run producer
04:43who can drive in runs
04:44if you've got guys on base already
04:46so he's a huge piece in this lineup
04:48and that is downstairs
04:50and that is ball one
04:55keeps the at bat going with a foul ball
05:04line drive
05:05base hit down the line
05:07and that's going to get into the corner
05:12safely into second
05:13he's got a double
05:17back against the wall with two strikes
05:19but found a way
05:20really stayed inside that baseball
05:22to send it to the opposite field
05:24with the shift on to the pole side
05:26that's an easy knock if they take it
05:28one out
05:29runner at second
05:30here comes Max Mudsey
05:32foul ball there
05:39line drive
05:39base hit
05:41here's Ohtani flying around third
05:43he will score
05:45the Dodgers have the lead
05:46it's an RBI single
05:491-0
05:50always feels good
05:51when you come through
05:52and get your team on the board first
05:54nice line drive
05:55to the pole side
05:56met it out front
05:57but just stayed through it
05:58nice enough
05:59and ripped it into the outfield
06:00ball one
06:00ball one
06:01no strikes
06:06last two pitches have been down in the zone
06:08pitcher clearly trying to get that ground ball double play
06:11but in this count
06:12runner on the goal
06:21and a foul ball
06:30ball can't pick it up cleanly
06:32the flip
06:33and they get him
06:34the misplay made it a bit messy
06:36but they cleaned things up for the out
06:38batting fifth center fielder
06:40and Andy Pappas
06:42steps to the plate for the Dodgers
06:46that misses
06:47and that's ball one
06:49runner at second
06:50two down
06:51you're in game one
06:52of this three game set
06:53check swing
06:54and he went
06:55strike one
06:59that one fouled off
07:01that fastball at the bottom of the zone
07:03can be very effective
07:04just got to keep it on the corners
07:06knocks that one away
07:07and we'll do it again
07:15man that got him square in the mask
07:17he hasn't gotten the result yet
07:19but he's got to feel pretty confident
07:21three foul balls in a row
07:23he's right on this pitcher
07:26man on second
07:27two down
07:27that's foul off to the right side
07:30keeps the A.B. going
07:31five foul balls in a row
07:33I have no idea what that feels like
07:35but you gotta love this battle
07:37just wondering
07:37oh now this ball's gonna get through
07:40and that's base hit
07:41Muncie comes in to score
07:43and he'll make it to second base
07:45with two gone
07:46puts a run on the board
07:47and picks up an RBI
07:48turned on it nicely
07:50definitely a little out in front of the pitch
07:52but he didn't hook around it too much
07:54and was able to keep it fair down the line
07:56that one hit to right
07:59base hit into the outfield
08:00they extend their lead
08:02as the runner scrolls from second
08:04it's an RBI single
08:06and they take a three run lead
08:09now the tag at second
08:10and he's out
08:11trying for two
08:12third out
08:13and that ends the frame
08:14three runs for him here
08:16and they move ahead
08:17onto the second
08:19back here at Chavez Ravine
08:21and stepping in for the Rays
08:23Yandy Diaz
08:28that's a little high
08:29ball one
08:31a 3-0 lead is great
08:32but you can't get too comfortable
08:34gotta stay aggressive
08:35keep attacking hitters
08:36try to cruise through this ball game
08:39and that one fouled off
08:55ball that's out
09:06foul ball
09:19foul ball
09:20foul ball another 2-2 upcoming
09:32next offering down low
09:33and in the dirt
09:42on the ground
09:43the third
09:46not in time
09:48he's safe
09:51batting fifth
09:52left fielder
09:53Gavin Lutz
09:54well we're gonna see
09:54throwing errors
09:55from third base
09:56from time to time
09:57and that's a pretty good
09:58example of why
09:59if you don't get behind
10:00the throw properly
10:01it's really easy
10:03to throw a power sinker
10:04over there to first
10:05and first baseman
10:06I'm sure he wants another shot
10:08at that pick
10:08try to bail out his teammate
10:10but that was just a tough one
10:11to come up with
10:24I'm sure he wants another shot
10:26you'll want in the air to left center call moving under it and there's one down
10:38batting six right fielder
10:41one out man at first
10:42Jake Fraley
10:44the next to hit
11:07Diaz at first one gone
11:14foul ball
11:15foul ball left side
11:16he'll see another
11:26and a foul ball
11:27he stays alive
11:37the 0-2
11:39fastball is outside
11:41really good take
11:42especially with two strikes
11:51pitch kicks away
11:56and the runner holds
11:57really went aggressive in
12:00with that slider
12:00good two strike pitch
12:02right there
12:03at worst case scenario
12:04it's weak contact
12:05in play
12:06exactly where he and the catcher
12:07wanted it
12:13first offering way inside
12:15almost got him
12:23and there's a foul ball
12:25Mullins
12:26went deep in his most recent game
12:32the 1-1
12:35swing and a ball popped in the air
12:37Muncie
12:38under this one
12:39and that is that
12:42one left for Tampa
12:43they trail it here
12:453-0
12:50back here in LA
12:52and at the plate for the Dodgers
12:53Alex Cole
12:57filling up the strike zone
12:58hasn't been the problem so far
13:00it's the quality of the strikes
13:02that's been the real issue
13:03and you look at the first inning
13:04that's what we saw
13:05too many pitches out over the plate
13:06not in time
13:07he's safe
13:08it doesn't really matter
13:10where you are in the lineup
13:11your job is to get on base
13:13and try to start a rally
13:14if you're leading off an inning
13:15so
13:15an infield single
13:17does the job right there
13:18now we'll see if they can make something happen
13:29next offering is fouled back
13:33going chew down
13:41and he couldn't hold back
13:43he's rung up on strikes
13:48Alex Freeland
13:50steps to the plate for the Dodgers
13:56man at first one away
13:59and that's downstairs
14:00and it's one and one
14:05comes up empty
14:07that's strike two
14:11strike three
14:12and that's two in a row
14:13all interesting
14:14he's looking very comfortable
14:15out of the stretch
14:16after giving up the lead off single
14:18back to back strikeouts
14:19so
14:19they haven't been able to move that runner up
14:22get him into scoring position
14:23and try to have a better chance of scoring
14:25I tell you
14:25good job so far on the mound
14:26he just needs one more out
14:31tap foul at the plate
14:370-2 now
14:38got him
14:39out number three
14:41so the Dodgers leave one
14:43but they lead it 3-0
14:49all set for the start of the inning
14:51and now the catcher for the Rays
14:52Nick Fortes
14:59right through there for a strike
15:10next offering is foul back
15:21and the 0-2
15:23struck him out looking
15:39fastball for a strike
15:51line drive
15:52base hit
15:53so now back to the top of the order
15:58up next for Tampa Bay
16:00so the Rays batting order turns over
16:03Richie Palacios
16:05getting ready to hit
16:06he's over one
16:08that's outside
16:09and it's 1-0
16:18runner takes off
16:20there's a ball
16:22throw to second
16:23and he's safe
16:29one out
16:29and a runner at second
16:30we're here in the top half
16:32of inning number three
16:36that one lifted to left
16:38call
16:38should have this one
16:41out
16:41number two
16:47up next
16:47singing here's a look
16:48at his pitch breakdown
16:49for the game
16:50well he's known for that
16:51four-seamer Boog
16:52and we've seen plenty of it
16:54from him today
16:54you don't throw one pitch
16:56this much without having
16:57plenty of confidence in it
16:59hasn't given up any runs yet
17:00so he might as well
17:01stick to the plan
17:06nope
17:17lined into right
17:19sliding
17:20and he grabs it
17:22well he had to make a quick decision there
17:24do I dive or do I slide
17:26perfect technique
17:27he's able to adjust at the end
17:29who reels that one in
17:34back here at the ballpark
17:36coming off a series
17:37where they were red hot at the plate
17:40and a look at the numbers
17:50hammered down the right side
17:52the foul
17:58in there with the knees
17:59and it's on two
18:06ball
18:14good job to fight that one off
18:22one two now
18:24battling here as he fouls it away
18:32and a ball and two strikes
18:34fouls it back with two strikes
18:43fights that one away
18:44still wanted to
18:45five foul balls
18:47and this at bat so far
18:48and these two are going head to head
18:50you can see the crowd
18:51they're starting to get into it
18:52a little bit more and more
18:54each pitch
18:54even though there hasn't been a ball
18:56in play yet
18:59stays alive
19:06the two two on the way
19:11in an arrow with a lot of swing and miss
19:13and strikeouts
19:14you gotta love it
19:15it's bad like this
19:16no one giving in
19:17fights it off
19:19you'll see another
19:21comes a two two
19:23that's down and in
19:29to the right side
19:33over to Diaz
19:34leadoff hitter gone in the third
19:36that's what a good sinker is designed to do
19:38get a guy to roll over a little bit
19:40hit the ball on the ground
19:41kill some worms while you're at it
19:46hey
19:51ball inside
19:56and there's a strike
19:57good heater at 98
20:01pitch misses
20:02two balls
20:03two strikes
20:04the cow
20:07fouled off
20:08and they'll do it again
20:14keeps the at bat going
20:15with a foul ball
20:19here's the two two
20:21and it's fouled off
20:22they'll do it again
20:29that one in the dirt
20:30full count down
20:36sets him down looking
20:38he didn't make it easy for him on the mound
20:40but they still get the strikeout
20:42really good battle right there
20:44and that final pitch
20:45probably could have gone either way
20:46he was hoping he'd get ball four
20:48instead the umpire rings him up
20:50for the backwards k
20:51so here's kyle tucker now
20:53and there's a strike
20:59and one fouled off
21:04two down
21:05nobody on
21:11foul ball still
21:13one and two count
21:18this guy's a fun guy to watch
21:19taking it bad
21:20he just battles up there
21:22he doesn't take a pitch off at all
21:23makes it so difficult on the pitchers out there
21:26you can tell they get frustrated with how
21:28over to diaz
21:29and tucker is retired
21:31one two three
21:32go the dodgers
21:34it's the dodgers three
21:36the rays
21:37as we go to the top of the fourth
21:41at the plate now for the rays
21:42is the dh
21:43jonathan arunda
21:49first pitch
21:50and he has to get out of the way
21:52he's been pitching well
21:53but going through this
21:54middle of the order
21:55second time through
21:56we'll see what kind of adjustments
21:58are being made
22:00ripped on a line
22:03and there's one down
22:10up next for tampa bay
22:12first baseman
22:13don db
22:21this guy is just filling up the strike zone right now
22:24don't want to get yourself in an 0-2 hole
22:26you better be ready to pull the trigger on the first pitch
22:33that one ripped right center field
22:36this looks like extra bases
22:42and that's a double
22:45you know i was watching his rounds during batting practice today
22:48so impressed with his ability to let the ball travel
22:51go back up the middle and the other way
22:53sometimes when you step in the box during the game
22:55you get a little anxious and you get away from that
22:57but so far i've seen him stay consistent with his pre-game preparation
23:02here's gavin lux to hit
23:04and immediately pumps in a strike to the left-handed hitter
23:08runner at second here one gone
23:16and he hits a ground ball right side
23:19and it goes just foul
23:30line drive base hit
23:32coming home
23:35he'll score easily
23:37it's an rbi single
23:39and they cut the lead to two
23:41well done
23:42narrows the deficit with the rbi there
23:44so much a good hitting is finding holes in the defense
23:47that's why you're always thinking line drive into the gap
23:50those kinds of swings really boost your confidence
23:59and that drops in for a strike
24:09the 0-1
24:12this one popped up
24:14rojas
24:17and there's two down
24:19up next for tampa bay
24:21now up for tampa bay cedric mullins
24:24he popped out his first time
24:30that one's upstairs ball one
24:40high fly ball lifted in the year right field
24:45and that is that
24:48but the rbi single pushes across a run
24:51to the bottom of inning number four now
24:54this is dodgers baseball on the show
24:57la
24:59welcome back
25:00let's check out what's been happening at late
25:02really been playing well
25:11you know these dodgers
25:13doing a great job boog
25:14of just waiting for the right pitch to come their way
25:17and i'm seeing very patient at bats out of them
25:19it's not just the three runs they've already scored
25:21on top of that
25:22they forced this starter to throw more pitches than he wanted to
25:26at this point of the game
25:27well executed pitch on the outside part of the plate
25:39right back to him on the mound
25:42on to first
25:43already two gone here in the home fourth
25:46up next for the dodgers

26:07dodgers down in order
26:09and the score stays three to one
26:14back here at dodger stadium
26:16and stepping in for the raise
26:18nick fortes
26:22sasaki back to work
26:24that is upstairs for ball one
26:27the dodgers have some action in their pen
26:29brewstar grotter roll
26:30the right-handed sinker baller
26:32he looks to be readying himself
26:33scott getting loose as well
26:38the 1-0
26:40and another ball
26:41well usually a high level of confidence
26:44when you're facing a young pitcher out there on the mound
26:47in this situation
26:48ahead 2-0
26:49he's put himself in a really good spot
26:51this one in the air center field
26:54pahas
26:55gets under it
26:56takes it in for the out
27:01up next for tampa bay
27:03shortstop
27:04taylor walls
27:12that one finds the zone
27:14and it's 0-1
27:15he's been very consistent with his command out there on the mound
27:19consistently throwing at the knees
27:21pretty impressive when a guy can repeat his delivery like this
27:38and a foul ball he stays alive
27:49this one in the air
27:53takes it in for the out
27:57and i think dave roberts is coming out of the dugout
28:00rokey sasaki
28:01won't go any further tonight
28:03and a nice effort out of him
28:05no doubt
28:06new arm coming on
28:07we'll be back for that in a moment
28:15now pitching for the
28:17brewstar grotter roll
28:18gets the call from the pen
28:19well he struggled quite a bit
28:21so this is another opportunity
28:23to get on the right track
28:24he's given up more than one hit per any pitch
28:27so far this season
28:28back to the top of the order now
28:30here's the raised leadoff hitter
28:32ritchie palacios
28:34and that misses
28:35and that is ball one
28:46worm burner into the outfield for a nod
28:50and that'll bring the tying run to the plate
28:54up next for tampa bay
28:56third baseman
28:57junior caminero
29:07oh look at the stop
29:08flips it
29:09and that's a nice play to end the inning
29:12the raise strand just the one
29:14score holds
29:15it's 3-1
29:19back here at the ballpark
29:21let's check out the latest news from around the league
29:31and that is in for a strike
29:33going on
29:43up the middle
29:46now the throw to first on the run
29:47it's there
29:48and that's a great play
29:51up next for the dodgers
29:53second baseman
29:54Alex Freeland
30:01Freeland
30:02it is rookie season
30:0324 years old
30:05and he was a third round pick
30:072-2
30:08in 20-22
30:13that's foul off to the right side
30:14keeps the A.B. going
30:19on the ground
30:20the first
30:21and that's a fair ball
30:24and they had their first hit
30:26since the second inning
30:29when you go 0 for 5
30:300 for 7
30:310 for 8
30:32it seems like an eternity
30:33especially start the season
30:34because that's the one thing
30:36players want to get that first one out of the way
30:38so that they feel like
30:39alright I'm going to avoid this prolonged over
30:41to start the season
30:42and get into a slump
30:47the 1-1 is fouled off
30:52and a 1-2
30:54got him looking for the strikeout
30:56picks up strikeout number 7
30:58third time he struck out in this one
31:00and definitely an individual performance
31:02you want to flush
31:03he just hasn't looked very comfortable up there
31:06just one of those days
31:07but when you're still winning the ball game
31:09at least you can focus on doing your part
31:11to maintain that lead
31:12and getting that W
31:13the 1-0
31:18Freeland
31:18off the first
31:19with two away
31:20and straight two

31:24for his breaking ball today
31:27out towards right center
31:29that's well struck
31:30carrying well
31:31out of here
31:36Shohei Ohtani
31:37goes deep
31:38his 17th of the year
31:40and they add a couple more
31:43Shohei leaves his mark
31:44on every game he plays
31:45and he's done it again
31:46with the home run
31:49anytime you have a pitch down
31:50the middle of the plate
31:51the percentages go up
31:53for the hitter
31:54to do damage
31:54even if it's a pretty good sinker
31:56like that one
31:57nice piece of hitting there

37:27there's a strike
37:28man 91 on the slider

38:35especially in terms
38:36of movement
38:37I mean that thing
38:38tumbles out of his hand
38:39and just drops off
38:40the table at the last
38:41moment

39:28well that'll make you
39:29feel good as a hitter
39:30right there
39:31kind of a risky pitch
39:32coming inside
39:33with the breaking ball
39:34like that
39:34you have to bury it
39:36otherwise
39:36it's not too difficult

41:22keep the line
41:23moving
41:23don't try to do
41:24too much
41:25brings it in
41:26runner tags

41:31good base running
41:32to move up

41:34Taylor Walls
41:36Taylor Walls
41:38next to hit
41:38for the Rays
41:39he's been really
41:40clutch with runners
41:41in scoring position
41:42this season
41:43so they'll have to
41:43be extra careful
41:44in this matchup
41:45and the first pitch
41:46misses for ball one
42:07hard liner
42:08fair ball
42:10Mullins comes in to score
42:12and they cut the lead to two
42:14pulls into second
42:16that's an RBI double
42:18well that gets them
42:19a little closer
42:20in this one
42:21really important
42:22bat coming up now
42:36top of the zone
42:37for a called strike
42:47ball
42:58on the ground
42:59right side
43:00Freeland
43:01over to first
43:02he's out
43:05if you want to be
43:05a great defense
43:06you have to deliver
43:07consistently
43:08it doesn't matter
43:09how many highlight reel
43:10plays you make
43:11if you can't execute
43:12the small stuff
43:13just like we saw
43:14and I think Dave Roberts
43:15is coming out of the dugout
43:17Tanner Scott
43:18won't go any further
43:19and he leaves a runner
43:20at third
43:21so we'll see how
43:22the next pitcher
43:22deals with that
43:23when we get back
43:25the new pitcher
43:26in the game
43:27Alex Vesea
43:28and he may only
43:29have to face
43:30one batter
43:31in this spot
43:31at least that's
43:32what they're hoping
43:33as he tries to strand
43:34that runner at third
43:35big spot here
43:37now the number two
43:38hitter
43:39Junior Caminero
43:400 for 3
43:41in this one
43:45ball
43:45that's inside
44:06time run at the plate
44:09meanwhile
44:10activity in the bullpen
44:11Edwin Diaz
44:13the Major League
44:14saves leader
44:15getting it fired up
44:22ripped on the ground
44:24a second
44:25throw on to Freeman
44:27and that will end the inning
44:30Rays get an RBI double
44:32it's now a 5-3 ball game
44:34this is Dodgers baseball
44:36on the show
44:37LA
44:40welcome back
44:41taking a look at our game
44:42summer
44:51you know these Dodgers
44:53doing a good job
44:54of putting the ball
44:55into play
44:55and that makes things
44:56more challenging
44:57on the defensive side
44:58they've done a great job
44:59of finding holes
45:00in the defense
45:01exactly half of their
45:02hits have come off the bat
45:04less than 90 miles per hour
45:05so the ball isn't exactly
45:07jumping off the lumber
45:08but they're finding a way
45:09to make it work
45:10man aboard on the leadoff
45:12single
45:12up next for the Dodgers
45:14second baseman
45:16Allen
45:22all those numbers mean
45:23this offense is really
45:25making the defense work
45:26by just putting the ball
45:27into play
45:28anything can happen
45:29at that point
45:30swing and a miss
45:31chased it out of the zone
45:38Rojas
45:39the board here at first
45:40with nobody out
45:41fouls it off
45:43still one and two
45:49ball two
45:57got him
45:58one out
45:59oh man
46:00just locked him up
46:01with that slider
46:02even though it caught
46:03a lot of the zone
46:04and I think that tells you
46:05all you need to know
46:06about what he was looking
46:07for in the box
46:08and it clearly was not
46:09that pitch
46:12Smith
46:13the next to hit
46:14takes ball one
46:21now this is in the air
46:22down the line
46:24and he can't quite get there
46:26it's a foul ball
46:30but one to one
46:33out in front
46:34and foul
46:35to the left side
46:42this one popped up
46:43foul ground
46:44first base side
46:46two away down
46:48Bill that was a pitch
46:49you gotta crush
46:50unbelievable
46:51that he missed it
46:52right there
46:53and I'm telling you
46:53he is going to be
46:54frustrating with himself
46:55until his next at bat
47:09Joe Ohtani up to the dish
47:11can't forget the two run shot
47:13he launched out of here
47:14in the fifth
47:14yeah one of the biggest
47:15swings of the game
47:16Boog as he looks to make
47:17even more of an impact
47:18in this at bat right here
47:25field two
47:28ball one
47:34struck him out of the foul tip
47:37so the Dodgers leave one
47:39and it remains 5-3
47:45back here at Chavez Ravine
47:47to the plate
47:47for the Rays
47:53is the DH
47:55Jonathan Arunda
48:00so important to get ahead
48:02of these hitters
48:02you don't want to issue
48:03a free pass
48:04and allow that tying run
48:05to come to the plate
48:06I was going to keep
48:07that other team
48:07in a position
48:08where if they're going
48:08to beat you
48:09they're going to have
48:09to do it
48:10with multiple hits
48:11on the ground
48:13right side
48:15sends it to first
48:16and that's one away
48:18as the leadoff man
48:19is out in the eighth
48:30in the air
48:31for strike one
48:33lefty continues to work
48:35but the closer getting loose
48:36in the bullpen
48:41swing and a miss
48:43there's the changeup
48:44didn't recognize off speed
48:45thought it was fastball
48:46a little bit out in front
48:53hard hit to third
48:57Muncie sends it to first
48:58two up two down
49:00here in the top of the eighth
49:01that's a huge defensive play
49:03in the late stages
49:03of the game
49:04it might not be
49:05the most challenging
49:06we've seen today
49:07but it needed to be made
49:09that's helping your team
49:10Lawrence
49:11in the box
49:12with two gone
49:13and takes a look
49:14at a called strike
49:23in the air
49:24right field
49:25Tucker
49:25on his way over
49:27and that is that
49:31Rays go in order
49:32one two three
49:33they're still down
49:34five three
49:37now pitching for
49:38and Seymour
49:39gets the ball now
49:41this guy's a strike
49:42thrower
49:42he's done an excellent
49:43job of avoiding walks
49:45so far this season
49:46leading off
49:47for the Dodgers
49:48third baseman
49:52Max Muncie
49:53ball one
49:58no need to offer
49:59that pitch
50:00until you get
50:01to two strikes
50:01it's just a low
50:02percentage of success
50:03when you want to try
50:04to go after that
50:06down and away pitch
50:09here's a one two
50:11here's a high chopper
50:13but it kicks foul
50:18swings
50:19through it
50:19and that's a strikeout
50:20that cutter right there
50:21had just enough
50:22movement on it
50:23to get the swing
50:24and miss
50:24wasn't a great location
50:25by any means
50:26that's typically a spot
50:27that hitters can handle
50:29so I'd say
50:30he fooled them
50:30with just enough
50:31of that lay action
50:33late in the game
50:34everyone gets
50:35a little tighter
50:36way to get ahead
50:37on a really good
50:38hitter right there
50:38and that one
50:39is lifted in the air
50:43two up two down
50:47up next for the Dodgers
50:49so digging in
50:50Andy Pappas
50:51Andy Pappas
50:54Andy Pappas

51:27for the Rays
51:28Jake Fraley
51:34he doesn't get a knock
51:35right here
51:36that pitch he just took
51:37is going to eat at him
51:38for a while
51:39you might not see
51:40another pitch like that
51:41from a top level guy
51:42like this
51:45swung on
