The L A Dodgers have expanded their national league division lead over these Diamondbacks to six games after taking the first two games of this four game set and the Diamondbacks are set to counter punch with Brandon the right hander on the mound. He has been for the most part, Jose Mota starter this year. Shohei Otani leading the national league in runs homers RBIs and PS got him doubled up on the change up and here's Mookie Betts, he's a pretty good hitter and Betts jumps on that fastball and knocks it into center. He was among the first three Dodger hitters to homer off Merryn Kelly to start the game. He was pretty much all throughout this series. They're going to go out there, not just think about slugging but Mookie Schulz here. Let me go out there and serve it up. Freddie Freeman has always torn this place apart. 286 and now 19 homers tap and there's another first pitch swing from freeman who's homer in each of his first two at bats in this series. And Jake mccarthy makes a spectacular catch in right center gave and mccarthy got to that 413 mark. Exactly what we're talking about. He elevated. Now you have and the guys behind you because speed is just amazing the route they take and just ball up. You know, it is telling you sometimes even with the group close the cleanup man for the Dodgers, the danger is Teoscar Hernandez, Teoscar top five in the league in strikeouts. Strikes out Geraldo Fomo leads it off against Dodgers. Rookie left hander Justin Roski out of hickory flat Georgia making only his sixth career major league and the air to center Kieran out there. One of the new Dodgers impressive late summer surge into September. The numbers are skyrocketing up , hits it out there to do it again. This one a little bit easier. 275. Now with 17 home runs, he has become in his second season with the Diamondbacks a big right hand bat right now, almost hit him and there's ball 42 out walk ahead of Bell. Switch hitter bats to the right hand side. Bell at first base in the cleanup spot. Grounded to third. It backs up Munsey. They go a short way and has it for the force. Here's Geno Suarez belts it into left Grean to hold up, freeze in a line drive here he comes. Kiermaier, the throw hits off line and the Diamondbacks have the lead stakes up in the zone are costly against this team and it doesn't matter which one of the lineup it is. Suarez so far has been a more than dependable guy for, he sees something around the waist. He's not going to waste it, jose since July 1st, no player in the major leagues has more harming eyes than the Diamondbacks. Suarez takes second on the throw. Kevin Newman, the second baseman the other way to right and they'll stop Suarez at third, three hits in the inning against Roski. He's going to come down to a couple of things here for finish off your pitch and also throw it through the glove not to the glove catcher herrera bats ninth one run already in Suarez at third and Newman at first with one out and he sends one up the middle. It drops into center. Suarez scores another RB I for jose Herrera and it's 2 to 0 Diamondbacks bottom of the order allies, jose, we were just talking about that. Let's take a look again, this location where the glove was out of half and any time you see that glove that much six, eight inches nomo in the leadoff spot. Two on one out, two runs home for Arizona. And you hear the beat L A chant inside chase field. That's a fair nine. Newman will score herrera being wagged around third. Here he comes. Geraldo Perdomo drives in two more. That's four consecutive hits five in this inning. I'm sorry about hitting being continues. This is the best pitch he's made a living. Here comes josh Bell the ninth man at the bat in the Arizona second and Bell knocks it into right. They'll wait. PDO he throw is cut off and it's a five run Diamondbacks second. They have batted around against the rookie left hander. We talk about the struggles. You mentioned the struggles they've had against lefties. It's been a problem but not today. And the reason it's quite simple. Number one is hittable pitches. Number two is to stay with the plan in not trying to. They have batted around. Started off the second inning with a double into the left field corner. He jumps on the first one sends Kiermaier back to the track back to the wall and it's gone 127 ft. It's an eight run. Arizona second. Rich got it started. Greek comes again. Richard goes dead central and that was a pretty crazy second inning. That's what we talked about earlier and Dave Roberts has talked about it. He's expanded his zone a little bit lately. Jose boy that brandon fought sweeper in combination with his fastball sinker has been a big pitch for him. Eight runs second has created some defensive changes for the Dodgers. Not quite the white flag, I'm sure, but maybe getting some key guys. The rest of the game offered dave Roberts and Geno gives it a ride to center Kiermaier under the home run porch. He's looking up that's gone. Eugenio Suarez. It's 9 426 ft is 22nd of the year. The question now, Jose becomes, how long is dave Roberts going to let Wy go out there and wear and I know he needs some length. Lucks another aggressive swing. He's hit the ball hard all series. It's in the right field corner. Taylor will stop at third, another double for gavin Locks. Boy, he's swung a hot bat since the all star break on the Dodger trade deadline acquisition from ST Louis. It was his big two run two out bloop right last night that broke up that ninth inning tie. The game winning hit to los Angeles bounces it to second is going to have to settle for one. Taylor's home with the first Dodger run and gets into, this is coming right at Max Muncey with fastballs went out there, got Max to chase a fastball, three straight fastballs and he struck out Muncey on three pitches looked a little bit there like the big unit randy Johnson. This is his third career double digit strikeout game. He has struck out Kiermaier twice. The second for Newman, they get one is home and it's 9 to 2. Catcher austin Barnes bats ninth. He single was last time up 17 Dodger hits and Barnes shoots it by Newman and Wave Edmond coming around to score and it's 9 to 3. We looking for his first hit zero for two with a walk that bounces throw into center. Here comes Perno Corbin Carroll has made it 10 to 3 Diamondbacks. Big smile from Corman down there at first, Kevin Newman is a guy you talked about Geraldo Perdomo guy that they added in the spring and it's really, really been a much needed band aid. Perdomo went down with a knee injury, seven games into the season, a bouncer in the sixth hole throw, low throw and it hops over home mccarthy will score. What happened there, jose goes back and he spikes this one. The interesting thing is here, #### positioned himself to catch a bit, but look at the hop. You don't see that very often. What the heck happened? Here's Guillorme who's been a tremendous edition of the Diamondbacks. He jumps on the first one and it dunks into center Corin held up for a moment. Carroll will score 13 runs for the Diamondbacks dime, the RB I three straight hits against and here's who was doubled in homer drives in the 14th run. Is there a particular reason why #### Hernandez is the man for this job? He's a guy that says I'll do it. And in this case, you do not want to go out there and put Will Smith on the mound. Here is your number one guy catch and the Dodgers down to the final out Barnes to second and the batter is Andy right there and the Diamondbacks close out a 14 to 3 win and they get their first win in this series with a season series and a series split on the line here tomorrow.
