Los Angeles Dodgers Baltimore Orioles 6-4 8/28/24 KABC Sports

DODGER FANS TONIGHT. THEY WERE AT THE STADIUM WELL BEFORE THE GAME AGAINST THE ORIOLES EVEN STARTED. HERE'S ROB FUKUZAKI WITH MORE ON THE WHOLE SHOHEI PHENOMENON. YEAH ABSOLUTELY. >> MARK, IT WAS A FULL DAY AT THE RAVINE. FANS LINED UP HOURS BEFORE THE GATES EVEN OPENED TO GET THE BOBBLEHEAD OF THE MAN THAT CAN DO IT ALL HIT FOR POWER, STEAL BASES, YOU NAME IT. IT WAS A FULL DAY. SHOHEI OHTANI WAS SHOWTIME TONIGHT IN FRONT OF A SOLD OUT CROWD AT THE RAVINE. THE SHOHEI BOBBLEHEAD FRENZY WAS IN FULL EFFECT. AND LOOK AT THIS DECOY THROWING OUT THE FIRST PITCH TONIGHT AND EVEN HANDING OVER SOME GOOD JUJU TO A SUPERSTAR OWNER IN THE FIRST. THE GUY JUST SEEMS TO OWN THE MOMENT. SO OF COURSE HE'S GOING TO HOMER ON HIS SPECIAL NIGHT. HIS 42ND OF THE SEASON. BALTIMORE GETS THREE RUNS OF ITS OWN IN THE SECOND. BOTTOM OF THE THIRD, MOOKIE BETTS GETS KIKI HERNANDEZ HOME WITH THE RBI SINGLE, CUTS THE LEAD TO THREE TWO, AND THE SAME INNING BASE BURGLARY AT IT AGAIN. THERE HE IS, SHOHEI WITH HIS 41ST STOLEN BASE OF THE SEASON. HE LATER STOLE NUMBER 42 AND KEEP IT COMING IN THIRD. THAT'S TEOSCAR HERNANDEZ, A THREE RUN BOMB. THEN GAVIN LUX, THE SHORTSTOP. GUNNAR HENDERSON, WHO BOOTS IT, PLATING ANOTHER RUN. THE BOYS IN BLUE. HOLD ON SIX FOUR. THE FINAL TO EVEN THE SERIES. NOW TO THE MOTOR CITY, WHERE THE ANGELS TRY CLIMBING OUT OF THEIR SLUMP. GRIFFIN CANNING ON THE BUMP FOR THE HALOS AND IT WAS NOT PRETTY. THROUGH THE FIRST THREE INNINGS, THE TIGERS GOT THEIR WAY WITH THE MISSION VIEJO NATIVE. A TWO RUN HOMER IN THE SECOND OPENS THINGS UP FOR DETROIT. THEY ADDED ANOTHER RUN TO MAKE IT THREE NOTHING IN THE SIXTH INNING. MICKEY MONIAK NICE SWING GIVES THE ANGELS A LITTLE BIT OF LIFE. HE LAUNCHES THIS ONE TO RIGHT A TWO RUN SHOT. ANGELS GET CLOSE, BUT THEY LOSE THEIR SEVENTH STRAIGHT THREE TWO. NOW LET'S HEAD TO THE NORTHWEST, WHERE LAFC FOUND THEMSELVES IN A COMPETITIVE MATCHUP AGAINST THE SOUNDERS IN THE U.S. OPEN CUP SEMIFINALS. IT WAS TIED AFTER 80 MINUTES, BUT THE SOUNDERS UNLUCKY GETTING A HAND ON THE BALL. THAT GAVE LAFC THE PENALTY, AND DANNY BOUANGA PLACES THIS ONE IN THE RIGHT CORNER AND GIVES HIS TEAM A ONE NIL VICTORY. LAFC MOVES ON TO THE OPEN CUP FINAL. THEY WILL FACE SPORTING KANSAS CITY ON SEPTEMBER 25TH, AND THE SPARKS SNAPPED THEIR SEVEN GAME SKID, UPSETTING NEW YORK 9488. THE FINAL. ALL RIGHT, MARK, SEND IT BACK TO YOU. >> ALL RIGHT, ROB, THANK YOU. JIMMY
