Freddy Freeman Returns Freddie Freeman returns to the Dodgers. He's at first base, his first game with the Dodgers since July 20 fifth. His teammates surprised him with these T shirts that say Max strong and it's a beautiful reminder. His son's name is Maximus. That is a very strong name because he is a very strong little boy. He's doing all right. Um We came home Saturday night from the IC U. Um So we started PT yesterday and let me tell you he hates that. Um But, um, he's doing ok, he's , his personality is back. He's, he's Max, it's, he's doing good in that aspect. Um, but he's got to relearn how to do pretty much everything. Um, terrible syndrome. Guillain Barre. Um, he's doing ok, he's on his way to being better. We've been told that he's going to make a full recovery. Just don't know how long that's gonna be. It's kid base and how they recover. But, um the prognosis of recovery is good for us making Tyler Glasnow his 21st start of the season that matches his career high in a single year. The tall right hander set to face the DH Kyle Schwarber strikes for now to start the night. Here's the former Dodger Trey Turner. That's a strikeout back to, back to back to back both glove side four fastball first in on kyw this one away to Trey Turner and it will bring up Bryce Harper. Here's the payoff from glass. Now, come on and Miss strike three. Tyler Glassell strikes out the side in the top of the first inning. That is how you start a game in Freddy Freeman a home 23rd, start, 11 to 4 with a 3.43. Er, a digs in to the left side having joined the 3030 club over the weekend in Oakland first Dodger to do so in 13 years popped up.

Put out here comes Freddie Freeman Dodger stadium rising to its feet to welcome back. Number five, freddie has stepped out of the batter's box taken off his helmet, tipped it to the fans at Dodger stadium and tapped his heart and you can tell that Freddy never afraid to show his emotions and we on his sleeve, he's filling them again right now. I asked him before the game, what does that mean to you and your name? And he said, cried plenty over the last week I cried at the press conference again today. It's probably going to happen again tonight because it means everything on this 22 from Nola swings and misses with freddie Freeman's back. Here's brandon Marshall up there in a hitting center fielder top of the zone, strike three and he's cared for the 1st 52 out. Nobody on Nick Castellanos takes his turn and a high fly ball to deep center field. Paz is going back back pedaling on the track. He missed it. It kicks off the base of the wall. Castellanos around second heading to third and that's going to be a misjudged triple for Nick Castellano his third of the year. It's tough to get one out of the ballpark at this time of night but he hit that right on the nose baseman Bryson stopped batting from the left side on the pitch. A breaking ball high chop on the infield glass. Now waiting on it. Has it throw to first, not in time and Castanos will score high bouncing ball right in front of the plate glass. Now to the left of the mound came in to get it, but he had to wait on it to come down. And by Then scott had beaten it out. It's one Phillies, austin Hayes , the batter he lines one to left field, a base hit Hernandez hesitated and ST is going to go to third. Hayes will go to second. That one gets away. Here comes Stott and Glass now who is known for wild pitches, uncorks one there and he leads the league in wild pitches 2 to 0. Phillies got him to chase, got his fifth K through two but the Phillies get 22 out runs. Schwarber will lead it off here in the third. So now it's a payoff and Schwarber takes strike three, a couple flis at the top of the strike zone and he's already got six K's two gone. Here's Harper swing and a miss strike three buns the ticket of Harper for a second time. Seven, K's already for glass. Now, Aaron Nola has faced the minimum through his first two innings. Jason Heyward leads off. It's pulled down the line and a fair ball on his way to second. He's got a leadoff double in six of his last seven games. He's had more extra base hits than he has singles this year. Man in scoring position for the Dodgers. Here's Andy Paez pulls one sharply down the line to the second with an RB I double and it's 2 to 1 back to back doubles for the Dodgers to start the third inning to cut the Phillies lead in half fastball grounded up the middle diving stop by stop but he has no play throw back to third. Everybody safe. Bottom three in the lineup, all reach and they're at the corners for Otani first pitch swinging high fly ball right field Castellanos on the warning track.

Freddie Freeman is in chance of freddie rained down on him. Base hit to right field for Freddie Freeman and for Maximus Freeman, if there's anybody equipped to miss 10 days of his mind completely off baseball show up and hit, it's that guy out to second. This could be two stop to Turner to Harper and the inning is over , but the Dodgers do score four in the inning bases empty one out in the fourth swing and a Miss strike three in the eighth for Tyler swing and a Miss and Tyler Glass now keeps on rolling. Nine K's in four frames. Shohei Otani Turns the lineup over back to Otani green light if he wants it takes it and rips it. Otani seven to second with a double. Otani hit that ball like a rocket ship, fourth double of the game for the Dodgers. There goes Otani throw from another stolen base part of the game that gets the least amount of attention for Otani, but it is real hooked over to second on one. Hot ST has it.
