Dodgers vs. Angels Game Highlights (9/3/24) | MLB Highlights

For tonight's show. Hey, Tony, this is going to be a special evening for him. He's returning to the place where he started his big league career, played here for six seasons before becoming a los Angeles Dodgers. So tonight is his first time returning in the regular season to Angel Stadium pretty deep lineup going against Reever. But he had that look even walking out to the bullpen to get ready for the start three and six marks an, er, a over six. But you know what doesn't matter anything now, especially when those last three starts in AAA where he had an, er, a 1.29 21 innings pitched. 29 strikeouts for, there is the 5050 watch for 40 four home runs , 46 stolen bases. No one in the history of game has had those two numbers in the same season and 5050 is certainly in play for Otani who now leads off for the Dodgers as the DH grounds. This one to the right side is over to beat the, you can keep off the bases. That's a plus. You got to redirect that focus because now you got Mookie Betts coming up on the left center field right there is Taylor to make the catch two out. Freddie Freeman has been all over it lately. He had a terrific series in Arizona four home runs. Two of them. Yesterday was his 20th career two home run game Freeman tied up for ball four. The first baserunner comes on a two out walk, a guy who's been swinging, in fact, he had five hits yesterday as Oscar hernandez swing and a miss strike three. A slider got it and the Dodgers are done in the top of the first. No runs, no hits, no errors. And one man left right hander was certainly out his ups and downs this year. Walker BUE trying to battle back from that second tommy john and he's still pretty firm fastball 9398 a cutter curveball sweeper slider. First batter up for the Angels is Taylor Ward 20 pop up from Ward bets. Calls for it in right. Here's our number one. Zack Netto sitting on 20 home runs this year as he recently joined the 2020 club punches one the other way and has a base hit. It's the first one of the night and one out single for Netto to Nolan Shau who has reached base safely in 30 of his last 34 games. He does come inside outfield swung around toward right. Rendon has had some success against Bueller in his career runner going and it's ball four So buehler walks Rendon. Now a couple of base runners for the Angels, Mickey Moniak, who's been their hottest hitter of late will have a chance to give the halos the early lead. Looks at Neto comes home to Moni gets strike three, dropped the Hammer on him to get out of the first inning. He'll take those outs even though hit hard. He'll take quick outs, have a lot of pitches in the first inning, A couple of quick outs here in the second and now Max Muncy check swing by Muncey. He went after it and a quick clean inning for and that will do it. Dodgers go down in a hurry here. Let's meet the 20 year old star pitcher of the Angels organization getting his first big league taste on Sunday. Here is Ken Dani just two years after facing high school. There's a drive out toward the, has put the Angels on top. He's been waiting for that swing for a while. Yeah, way to go. Ken bringing in the run this mike and good luck that ball 438 for Denver has retired six of the first seven he's faced and Then he takes ball four here only the 15th time. He's walked this year. Taylor has had a tough time this year starting at second base. I know gavin looks in there as Taylor does strike out and Detmers has his third K. This place comes to its feet for a lot of folks on the freeway still when shoe batted for the first time tonight. So now with a full stadium, everyone gets to see shoe for the first time. Another two strike pitch, smokes it down the line to the right field corner, Rojas on his horse , Adele just got to the ball. So Rojas, he's going to score to tie the game RB I triple for Shohei Otani will get an RB I triple and it is a 11 ball game. And now Mookie Betts will be stepping up and on the first pitch, he does bring Otani home to give the Dodgers the lead. Mookie Betts not wasting any time against Reeders. It's two to one and the chance of freddie freddie, they were loud in Arizona this weekend and they're loud here in Anaheim. Here's the pitch and there goes bets and the throw to second is going to be way late. Easy stolen base. Freeman yanks one to right field. That's what base said. Bets had to wait to see if it would drop, which it did. So he holds at third base and Freeman has singled as well. Three straight hits from the three former mvps at the top of the order for the Dodgers. And now with two on Oscar Hernandez will bat swing and a miss strike three big out for Devers Smith popped out to Zack Netto his first time up. Here's the pitch and swing and a miss struck him out. Slider gets Smith and that's how the inning will end, ends up striking out the side in between. They get a couple of runs in the inning, seven strikeouts in this game pitching in a major league game for the first time since June 1st in Seattle struck out four of the last five that he has faced and also punched out Taylor in the third inning. That's his eighth strikeout tonight as Taylor goes down looking a little bit off the inside part of the plate back to back strikeouts looking on his fastball, Otani will be the next batter and on 3 to 2, he takes strike three. Larry, the chief three strikeouts in a row with fastballs. Taylor for two, a 12 game hitting streak is his longest in his career. Shoots one toward the right field corner Betts on the run after that ball is gone. He kept it in the right field corner. He ties the game with his 20th home run of the year. Now that is a great swing. Taylor Ward stayed on it a rock at the right field, a four seam fastball just like that tie ball game. Detmers back in the big leagues pitching. Well, trying to finish strong two are gone and the batter will be Will smith, thanks in there, strike 3, 10 punch outs for Detmers, six solid innings against the Dodgers. There's a walk to Taylor and that just opens the door for trouble. Here comes as spicy as can be on the mound. The 12 strike three, she's upstairs in 96. Now, Mookie Betts pops him up right side of the infield. Easy play still in the dirt of shwe crushing the bag. He makes the catch. And so that's the second out for the top of the eighth inning.

Rojas is the batter Rojas first pitch swinging in the left field to put the Dodgers in front and that does open up first base with Otani due up. This crowd wants to see shoe bat , but there's no way he's going to Ron Washington, put up four fingers. He'd rather face. Mookie Betts. Mookie Betts drives the ball field. Hm with a monkey, a three run shot and the Dodgers have opened it up in the 10th. You walk in one MVP, you got to deal with another two way and it will be up to Nicois goes to the opposite field, but to Oscar Hernandez is waiting, that's a win for L A, the Dodgers and Shohei Otani first regular season game back at the big A.
