Dodgers vs. Cardinals Game Highlights (8/18/24) | MLB Highlights

that was a great opening pitch ceremony before the game today Matthew kachuck from the Panthers Jason Tatum from the Celtics throughout the first pitch today two St Louis Champions thought they went to high school together Sunny gray and Clayton Kershaw in the series wrapup yeah and I'll tell you what if you're a fan of pitching this is your game it doesn't get any better than facing two guys like this Otani ice cold in the month of August it's been an uncharacteristic I istically cold run for him swing and a miss he struck him out with a sweeper so Otani strikes out for the fourth time in this series is driven toward right Walker Retreats slowing now shy of the track and Jordan makes easy work of mooki bats two up and two men down 31 coming Lux rips it to right field that'll get all the way into the corner Walker has to chase after it Gavin will stand up at second with a two-out double here's tasar Hernandez runner at second two outs smoke to Center Victor Scott Lake break he's going to get to the track and he makes a remarkable catch speed save Victor Scott II a great grab near the center field wall and that keeps the Dodgers off the scoreboard in inning number one ah Jimmy how many times do you see it a guy makes a great catch in the first inning and comes up ninth in the bottom half that's for Victor Scott grab some cold water no Kidd khaw coming back from serous shoulder surgery that he underwent at the end of last season he was on the 60-day iil strike three swinging and there is one out for the Cardinals in the bottom of the first inning full count for contras and Kershaw misses downstairs there's your first Cardinal base runner patas a one out walk payoff bounced up the middle right at Lux who steps on the bag for one throws to keik for two four and assisted to three no runs no hits nobody left no runs on either side in the first inning now we go roas starting the second more loud contact against Sunny gray first pitch dumped into left for migy big turn around first he'll settle with a leadoff single 3-1 pitch to Barnes outside ball four and the Dodgers with two on and two outk goes down to second base and Nick Ahmed will come up well sometimes you wonder if the pitcher looks over and sees that guy and worries more about him than the Man in the Box this is a big pitch in the game for sunny here three balls two strikes and a swinging a miss a high cutter and Amed swung through that and the Dodgers strand two in the second inning and again Sunny gr to face showy Otani Mookie Betts and Gavin Lux he's on his home Mound gym and this is where Sunny's been most successful if he lands on the inside of the foot you can stick The Landing so to speak long run it's arado who makes the play between wi and Tommy fam terrific range ook Bets with a base hit to center field Dodgers have had at least one hit hit in each inning so far 3-1 Del Lux a green light into the left center field Gap that'll get down mooki heading for third Lux digging out for second he slides in and he is safe two doubles and two trips up there today for Gavin it's to Hernandez that's ball four and the bases are full of Dodgers I guess if you want to go against Roos instead of Hernandez and you got to load the bases up you get a chance to get a double play ball that's the only positive thing I can see out of that squib slowly toward short second base one Sunny doubles him up Roos got saw off huge pitch and sequence for sunny gray Dodgers load him up can't score nothing nothing here in the third and he gets him and that's a nice tidy one two3 bottom of the third inning for Clayton Kershaw we're through three full heading to the fourth Dodgers nothing Cardinals nothing one two three the Cardinals go down in the Third on nine pitches Sunny just did that little hesitation thing sometimes he does in his windup and and he's not doing it to fool the hit her he's doing it to correct himself as km goes down on strikes first strike out of the inning third strike out for sunny gr onew pitch and came back backto back strikeouts all of a sudden that meeting with Dusty Blake Sunny gray is looking more like himself little ground ball is short quick inning for sunny gray boy he needed that three up three down are the Dodgers and the top of the Cardinals order goes to work St Louis say the top of the order here in the bottom of the fourth so one ball one strike count the next delivery on the way to this one on the ground softly hit to short Ahmed takes care of Mason for out number one Kershaw's face the minimum two two count he gets conteras to punch out second of the day for Clayton Kershaw hitters that he's seen so far in the fourth he's missed with the first pitch start contrast through the first three Innings Chopper to third roas throws on the Run well received by Kik another one two three frame for number 22 and since the Dodgers put up five in the sixth inning on Friday night oh they've scored just two runs their last 16 offensive Innings sh did hit a home run much outside of that though Otani on a rope to right into the bullpen and gone Deja Vu for sh from Saturday into Sunday number 39 gives the Dodgers a one- nothing lead got his fans doesn't he he's on his way to a 4040 season something no Dodger has ever done 3-1 pitch outside ball four and bench is aboard lead from first ground ball Goldie can't get it neither can donam it Lux found a seam and he's now three for three Walker had trouble in right just picked it up and got it in two balls two strikes with two on and two out in the fifth roas grounds a ball into left field bets comes home it's two nothing Lux around second all the way to Third and Miguel roas has driven in a run it's two nothing Dodgers so he's got Kier me behind 0 and two runner at first go swing and a miss and that will retire the side so they force gold Schmid two outs another ground out 10 for Kershaw and Walker who popped out his first time as next two- oh swung out and a high fly ball to center field Kier Meer shading the sun with his glove fighting it and he wins the battle makes the catch and the side retires no a hit one man left through five full in St Louis it's the Dodgers 2 Cardinals nothing bottom of the sixth then like Dodgers 2 and the Cardinals nothing Clayton Kershaw kicks and deals to pz the catcher as a shot to right field is going to drop in front of mie beds pz with a five-game hit streak Victor Scott a shot to right that's going to drop backto back singles for the Cardinals so we've got our first serious threat in the game tying runs are on for the Cardinals in the sixth inning Fly ball center field Kar backing up to get some momentum charging in now first and second with one out power at the plate with Wilson conteras two two pitch swung on ground ball to third roas has it he steps on the B throws across Dugout by Kik and that's an inning ending double play so whatever trouble there was Kershaw worked around it the Cardinals no runs two hits L Kershaw's afternoon is over now Evan Phillips two nothing lead here in the bottom of the seven swing and a miss that time he chased the breaking ball and burles Strikes Out and there's one away for St Louis so Donovan the final hope for the Cardinals in the seventh he's one for two they play him to pull the pitch he is grounded right to First and Hernandez has that Phillips does a nice job in the seventh inning and to the eighth we go the Dodgers pitching a shut out in game three Cardinals will go to the bench here go to a left-handed badar's Newar swing and a drive that ball belted we've got a one-run game so that gets the big crowd on its feet a thunderbolt pinch hit Homer for Lars nbar it's two to one La there's something to cheer about here at Bush Stadium play Michael copc has triple digit heat a former starter has come to the Dodgers and has been great in the bullpen he's not allowed to run since joining LA on July 29th driven toward right pretty well hit that's retreating turn the wrong way and makes an adjustment a step or two shy of the wall for oute number one I thought he was over anxious last at bat too that came in the seventh inning came off the bench for Tommy fam and struck out and a swinging butt that's going to stay Fair throw to first off Target and save he came off the bag the first baseman Hernandez comes off the bag but Michael copc protecting a one-run la lead the two- two pitch ground ball to short the flip to Second for one that's two and that's a win for La Michael copc with his second save in three games help the Dodgers take the series from the Cardinals they take two three from St Louis they lock up a winning road trip
