A spectacular pitching match up tonight. If you like young potential aces , you got to here, you'll see Gavin Stone who very quietly has the lowest, er, a in the Dodgers rotation at 2.93 and he appeared in eight games last year for the Dodgers. So he still has rookie status this season. Michael garcia twists into the righty batter's box prepared to lead off the game and face right hander Gavin Stone popped up right side and shallow right center Rojas going back hernandez coming in. Te'o takes out number one and Then the hand off to Miggy Roll. All right. Oh, Bobby Witt Junior baseball bloodlines celebrating his 24th birthday today. His first game at Dodger Stadium high in the air, left side. Mookie Betts handling the twilight here at Dodger Stadium , no problems. His job retiring those two hitters getting, getting comfortable more and more. Gavin Stone starts to look like an ace, the more the league's going to say, get him early before he settles in first two outs in succession in the top of the first. Now the lefty first baseman Vinny Pasin swung on and hit in the air to right center field back toward the track is Andy Paz, the center fielder on the track makes it over the shoulder catch for out. Number three deep fly ball out gavin Stone retires the side in order 123 go. The Royals Cole Rean, the 26 year old who has turned himself in to an ace in Kansas City. He's right there with Tyler the most strikeouts last year or so and now the Dodgers back for the first time. Mookie Betts leads off fastball hit on the ground to shortstop with scoops it up on the edge of the dirt slings over to first in time for the out one star shortstop grounds out to another. And so it's one up, one down for Cole Reagans in the bottom of the first inning and now he comes from the and now he's back to the middle, but the Royals were ready for that and Junior throws him out. No, June Bloom, it's been June Bloom for Freddy fastball. Pokes softly on the ground to the left side. Garcia scoops it up in the ship side arms to first in time for the out and the inning is over five up and five down for Kansas City. Nick Lofton, the second baseman. The batter 271 has not hit a home run. Eight runs batted in and a fastball is called strike three. Got him looking first strikeout of the night for Stone. He is so far perfect through two frames so far. 7-Up. 7 down for the Dodgers Hernandez , owner of a five game on base streak pops. This one up might be playable. Looks like it's heading toward the dugout and it comes back and Perez, the catcher drops it. Oh, he had a play on it right in front of the Royal dugout and he tried to make a basket catch, it , hit his glove and Then carried away, trying to dig it out. That's the pitch it's been retrieved. Multitasking Dennis down our camera and finding the pitch and another pitch and a swing and a miss and a strike out there by Cole Reagans as he gets hernandez sores. Exactly 100 strikeouts. So two strikeouts as he's retired all eight hitters he faced now go after the number nine hitter in the order. The veteran right handed hitter , Chris Taylor and his swing and a liner over the mound on the back played by, he throw to first for the out good play by nick Lofton behind second base to take care of Taylor and three up three down once again for Reagans Stone issuing his first base on balls of the evening runners at the corners and one out. And maybe this is not a bad thing. You got a force play at second base and slow running catcher Perez coming to the plate. Baba crush deep to back to the out of here. Salar Perez launches a three run homer and the Royals take the early lead at Dodgers Stadium. It's 30 in the top of the fourth inning. Salley hit it 437 ft to the very back rows of the bleachers in straight away left. Wow, that one was a one that gavin Stone would love to have back. He'll be thinking about that for a long time. Reagans has given up two singles no walks and he has struck out three. Now, Miguel Rojas Rojas hammers one down the left field line. This ball headed for the pole. It is gone. Rojas his third round tripper of the season and the Dodgers on the board. It is 3 to 20, what a shot by miguel Rojas Rojas, as we mentioned earlier against left handers has hit 280 for Rojas delivers that trip around the diamond when we talk about the Dodgers with that league leading 93 home runs. Now, 94 leading the national league. This is not a team. You want to wake up their bats ball, left field hit pretty well. That's the first of the year for chris Taylor and it ties the game at three in his first at bat. He had a bullet up the middle but there was a fielder there. There's not going to be a fielder where he hits this bullet over 100 miles an hour with the right left and Chris Taylor takes a huge monkey off his own back and puts the Dodgers into a tie left handed batting. Adam Frazier, the designated hitter on a miss strike three. He got him with a slider in a 123 top of the sixth inning for Gavin Stone. I mean, outside that bad slider from Stone, it's been good. Been really good. A little tapper down to first base played by Freddie Freeman with one hand, he'll step on the bag and shakes and hugs for gavin Stone. 94 pitches to get through seven innings, three earned runs on one of the four hits. That being a three run homer to Salvador Perez, four pitch walk issued by to begin the seventh inning in a 33 game. And the Royals bullpen has begun to stir reaching out Bobby Wood Junior into the outfield, unbelievable play and a double Burnett it on his 24th birthday , Bobby gives a gift to Cole Reagans spectacular applause in the Royals dugout. That's a heck of a 643 double play night after night. He does something that makes your jaw drop. Let's see if put an exclamation point on this effort. Retiring this hitter right now and a swing and a high fly ball left field MJ has room going back near the track, makes the catch and ends the inning. And what a night for Cole Reagans here at Dodger Stadium, seven innings, three runs allowed. So it will be up to Freddie Freeman. He's going to try to find a way to get Mookie home with two outs. Center Betts will score what hit by Freddie Freeman who's at 286 with runners in scoring position. So that mistake, you give the Dodgers a little bit of gap and they will take advantage of it left handed throwing. Alex Vesia is on the mound for the Dodgers. Vin Pa Quintino leads off road charging and throwing one gone. He has put a clinic on tonight at second base and at the plate , Freddie Fermin will come up for the first time. He replaced Salvador Perez behind the plate last inning. So he now gets his first plate appearance, ground ball ashore. Mookie up with it cleanly. The throw is good as well. One more out to give sort of a nervy cloud we bring around Dodger Stadium right now waiting on this last out of the ninth inning Dodgers up 4 to 3 in the right field over is Hernandez. That's to win for L A. The Dodgers win their 43rd game of the season 4 to 3. The final score.
