Dodgers @ Yankees. Game 3 of 3 game series. Standings. MLB the Show 24.

e live from Yankee Stadium in the Bronx we're ready for MLB the shows game of the week it's the Los Angeles Dodgers taking on the New York Yankees with my partner Chris Singleton I'm John shami and we got a rubber match on our hands today partner yeah the final game of a three-game set they've split the first two and regardless of how important a series is within the larger picture of the season it's a game you want to get up for every series win feels good so we should see a fun match up in this one all right we'll be back to get this one started after this so just about set and getting to start Nester Cortez Jr what's the word on him well he's putting together a really nice season on the mound RA in the low threes very respectable when you consider guys are looking to do damage they're not trying to just walk and hit singles they're trying to hit homers and draw walks and score runs so when you have a guy that can limit the other team from scoring more than a few runs that's really tough to beat game in and game out and the Lefty with the 01 [Applause] B swing and a pop off in foul gra lameu makes the grab and there's one down here's the Dodgers lineup now this is a veteran Le lineup right here a lot of players with plenty of experience singing yeah no doubt about that boo these guys have been around the game for a long time and they may not have the flash that they once did but they've got the wisdom to be able to understand different situations be able to think with the opponent and sometimes in front of the opponent and you always seem to see a team like this they come to the ballpark they know how to get down business and they understand what the job is at hand the wi in the pitch and a foul ball here's a 1-1 hard hit to third fires across the diamond quick start to this afternoon's action two gone third the left field teoscar Hernandez two outs base is empty here's teoscar [Applause] Hernandez flips the corner that's strike [Applause] one that one is upstairs here's a 1-1 bounced out to short vulpi on the Run throw to first they get the out and that'll do it we're Midway in inning number one no [Applause] score back in the Bronx getting the nod on on the mound sh Otani Chris you don't have to dig too deep into the numbers to see how good he's been oh he's been nearly Untouchable kind of a Silent Assassin out there just goes to work and guys look up it's deep into the ball game and they haven't been able to scratch anything off of this guy so look for him to do the same thing today maybe Go the Distance maybe hand it over to the bullpen at the end and try to get that W John birdie now the Box comes up empty with a swing there Otani an Allstar a season ago he throws a slurve a for seamer a cutter a splitter and he works in a sinker swing and a miss and that's strike two oh that's that slurve right there he threw it extremely well and talk about just a ton of break so tough to get that Barrel [Applause] to and a ground ball to First oh great grab on the dive takes it himself and he got him nicely done at first for the out look at the big guy getting down and dirty robbing what probably would have been a double if it gets by him love to see that because most times it's the short stop or second basem but he wants to get in the mix a little bit as well here's Alex Verdugo in for a strike o and one oh ton he has a reputation I don't know maybe a knack for working himself out of tough situations that he finds himself in you know you like that in a relief pitcher but when you have it for a starting pitcher a guy that can get out of a tight spot that is pretty [Applause] valuable not even close there two and [Applause] [Applause] one foul ball there [Applause] left-and hitter Waits out towards right center field Dives and makes the catch you love to see when a guy's hungry to make a play right there an excellent diving catch you could absolutely tell he was all in and tracking that ball down now it's Aaron judge up to the plate Homer in the ball game yesterday afternoon first pitch not [Applause] close Now One Missed [Applause] and now two and one man that pitch was dotted so much talent on display when this guy's out there on the hill two and one on Judge that one fouled off [Applause] that missed by a lot and the counts full Juan sto Waits on Deck two out Bas is [Applause] empty that fast ball at the bottom of the Zone can be very effective just got to keep it on the corners payoff pitch foul ball and it remains a Full Count little early on that fast ball I'm sure the pitcher taking a note look for an off speed pitch on this next [Applause] one two down nobody on and that's ball for it wasn't easy but he earn that walk after a long at bat well that's a nice job of grinding out that at bat saw a lot of pitches and ends up drawing the walk very gritty Soo and now it's Juan SoDo one SS away a little bit well done behind the [Music] dish judge the runner at first with two gone foul ball [Applause] two outs runs it up to 96 to record the punch out 0 after one from Yankee Stadium inning number two when we get back on the show back in New York here's the short stop at the play mie bets bets Cortez a former Allstar 29 years old a former first round pick back in 2017 right through there for a strike well you always have to be careful in these spots because mooki is lethal in the leadoff spot he has the most multi-home Run games out of the leadoff spot in baseball [Applause] history o and two now down and in two [Applause] strike the onew center field touches down that's a hit man a board on the leadoff single was on the outside didn't go the other way with it but still a nice job of using the big part of the field to find a hole no way he hits it that well if he hooks around the baseball there James outman steps to the plate for the Dodgers fast ball for a strike [Applause] nobody out runner at [Applause] first check swing did he go yes he did count that one misses and a count one and two [Applause] wouldn't chase that [Applause] time and now the Lefty spoils that one and it remains two and two second inning here no score now a screamer into the Outfield reaching for it makes the catch the will SM and up to the plate is Will Smith and a foul [Applause] ball man it first one away [Applause] ball one there pretty standard High 02 fastball right there if you're smart look for something down in the zone but not too far don't want to chase that breaking ball in the dirt and that just misses it's a good take and the two two spoils the two strike pitch and he'll see another [Applause] and another [Applause] ball downstairs and it misses Ball Four he's making things difficult for himself right now out there on the mound but you know his confidence should still be high enough to get out of this he's going to have to buckle down right here here's sh Otani and the first pitch misses for ball one he's looking for a ground ball to get a double play and out of this Jam Runners at first and second with one gone here at the top of the second [Applause] [Music] [Applause] the one-1 check swing he went to far and it's a strike oneall two strike two on one out and a swing to miss down on strikes and now two gone thought it was a pretty good pitch top of the strike zone we're seeing more fast balls in that location hitters especially with two strikes have to be ready to pull the trigger so first and second with two outs here's Max munzy that funky Muny he's been really clutch with runners in scoring position this season so they'll have to be extra careful in this matchup two on two outs and that one fouled off instead of letting the hitter get his arms extended tied him up a little bit slightly up slightly in the one to one just missed could be some action here on this next pitch couple Runners on probably a challenge pitch coming first and second two down here in the rubber match of this three- game series [Applause] swung on belted Soto on the Move racing back and it is gone he hammers one out to right his 13th home run of the season and they take the lead it's 3 nothing nothing better than hitting a home run to put your team out in front he's enjoying a fun trip around the bases well he almost robbed the home run right there and I tell you what he'd love another crack at it during batting practice you always like to work on that and so close but that one was just out of his reach so two down Freddy Freeman up to the [Applause] dish up and in and it's one and0 leftand batter weights that misses the zone and it's two and0 Cortez maybe a little less aggressive on the mound right now after that home run Chris yeah it seems that way you know pitchers they can come out feel good but then all of a sudden get touched up a little bit and they start trying to throw instead of pitched they're not trusting their stuff and that one missing low well he's been good for the most part is it going to take someone going out to the mound to maybe refocus him a bit oh partner every picture is a little different I I liking it to you sometimes you come in and you're not as focused and I kind of do what it takes to get you on track and then you have a great show uh so perhaps it's the same with him nobody really wants their Rhythm broken up but sometimes they need a little pickme up two down dolman on Freeman will take his Spas it's been a little bit of a shaky inning but he's still in a good spot to get out of this thing without giving up any more runs he's just got to turn the page and go after this next [Applause] guy nope ball [Music] [Applause] one two outs and another ball well he's really working him away this bat sometimes take a little bit off velocity try to get a roll over something on the ground stay away from that big hole on the right side of the [Applause] infield Dives but it kicks off his glove not in time he's safe now Jason so two on but two away here's Jason Hayward 0 for one he grounded out and his first it back that's outside and that's ball [Applause] one kicks andios that one catches the zone and the count one and one well we call that keyho holding even though it's right there and looks pretty good if he doesn't love it he's not going to swing that early in the count and another ball [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] the pitch gets a piece and stays alive still two and two after the foul [Applause] ball and here it comes and and downstairs he should get a pretty good pitch to hit here with three Hall hitter coming up if he's [Applause] won kicks and fires and they're all loaded up that's a great atat he saw a lot of pitches and earned a walk and now teoscar Hernandez grounded out to short in his first trip hey it's still early in this ball game but but you know this hit bat right here could be a big factor in the outcome you think about it there's a chance to really blow this thing open right here and he grounds one back up the middle Dives but it's off his glove into to scores the runner from third it's four zip now B two outs Bas is full and next will be the Dodgers cleanup hitter Muki bets one for one with a single and a run scored so far tapped at the plate but it's a foul ball Lux the runner at third payward at second herandez at first two out of the inning there's a strike to Muki very well executed change up right there if he can command the fast ball consistently that's going to be an important pitch in terms of him turning this outing [Applause] around all loaded up dangerous hitter at the plate foul ball it stays nothing in [Applause] two turns and fires here's the BS swing and a miss and that is that so they move out in front after a four run out burst now to the bottom of the second it's the Dodgers four and the Yankees nothing here at new Yankee stadium in the Bronx here's glaber Torres laser G Otani back to work that misses ball one a swing and a miss as he chases way out of the zone Patrick Johnson calling the balls and Strikes pretty standard zone for Johnson sometimes he might get a little jumpy a little excited and expand the Zone but usually you at least feel like the pitcher on the mound is earning it and that's important because you got to make players ear it righty delivers and they'll do it again struck him out really fooled him with a breaking ball there well he's got great strikeout stuff on the mound doesn't he I mean double digit strikeouts in his last start and he's just racking him up again in this one this guy can really dominate a game out there not a fun assignment for any lineup Anthony Rizo batting with one down takes a strike all right sing you know I'm a dork show Otani go back to May 5th 2022 at Fenway Park he tossed a complete Game through 99 pitches get this 81 strikes it was the most strikes thrown with less than 100 pitches in a game since they started tracking pitch counts that's just unreal fights that one away and the count remains 0 and two the Dodgers leading by four bottom half of inning number two and ball [Applause] one and a ball in two strikes swings and misses the high heat too much on that one backto back strikeouts to start the frame and that's now three in a row yeah he's really settling in and getting a feel for his pitches throwing him where he wants to right now so we'll see how long you can keep this streak going DJ lahu at the plate and takes High there right through there for a strike looks like a really good fast ball today you can hear that catcher mitt popping looking forward to hearing a lot of that one in this one here comes a pitch comes up empty that's strike two one ball two [Applause] great the pitch and that one hammered Hernandez ranging back bangs off the wall now he turns and heads for second the relay but he's in there easily he needed that one it's been a tough stretch at the plate lately absolutely blasted that one into the Gap but just didn't have quite enough to clear the wall out there maybe a little more elevation under it and it carries over but that's a swing you'll be happy with every time could be a chance here for them to start clawing back into this ball game Anthony vulpi stepping in now for the Yankees swag and a popup foul out of play off to the right side that'll find the stands [Applause] the pitch B that's inside Bo he never moved cuz he never had time to but that kind of velocity you'd prefer that pitcher work away the pitch two ball in the dirt but kept close and an excellent job keeping it right there and the righty deals and that one fouled off runner at second two down here in the third and final game of the series swing and a miss that one in the dirt gets two it on to First in time so the drop third strike doesn't hurt him and that's that so A two out double but they don't score we head on now to the top of the third it's the Dodgers four and the Yankees nothing top half of the third inning and at the plate for the Dodgers James outman J outman Cortez back to work and that Clips the inside corner you know these Dodgers doing a good job of Simply getting the bat on the ball in this game and the numbers back that up and here's a stat for you boo they're making contact with more than 85% of the pitches that they're swinging at it's pretty special stuff not so good if you're out there on the mount and a base hit and the lead off man aboard tough game for him so far boo another hit and they've just been knocking him around through the first two plus he's got to get things back on track maybe jum a pitch that isn't working or he might not last much longer the batter now will be Will Smith he walked and came around to score his first time up there's a strike oh one's the count [Applause] [Applause] just off the outside edge now one and two though Chris through the early stages he hasn't been very efficient in terms of the pitch count he's going to need to get some quick outs if he's going to get deeper into this game at a ball this one in the dirt he throw a second not in time he's there easily so a wild pitch allows the runner to advance definitely trying to work down and get that double play ball but it got away enough to erase any chance of that good job of moving up in scoring position now a hit could make that wild pitch really sting it is interesting though when you consider the way the game is run now doesn't even matter that much if your starter doesn't go that deep because teams are really aggressively building their bullpens [Applause] man it's second fouled off again and it remains three and [Applause] two and a pitch foul ball and it remains a full count [Applause] [Music] and he deals popped up moving under it he's there he's got it and there's a one away up next to the Dodgers the designated hitter sh sh Otani up to the dish he struck out swinging at his first hbat [Applause] Bo who doesn't love to watch Shi play baseball I mean voters certainly did when they made him the unanimous choice for MVP in the American League in 2023 it was an easy Choice he had that award wrapped up by August clober to right field way back off he made him pay for that one it's six nothing he absolutely feasts on right-handed pitching and devours that one for a homer and you can see that's what he expects of himself at bat after it bat he's that confident a good hitter gets pitch recognition early he saw exactly where that was going to be the challenge not get over anxious and come out of your swing he stayed on it and got all of it and here comes the Yankees manager to the mound pitching change coming Nester Cortez Jr won't go any further and as he heads off we'll step aside for a minute back with a new pitcher after this break now on the bump Tommy kanley gets an opportunity to square off against his former team so I wouldn't be surprised if he came out a little extra jacked up right here one out base is empty Here Comes Max munzy he's already homered here in this one that pitch Clips the outside corner it's 0 and [Music] one one down base is empty and strike two [Applause] two the Dodgers up big in this one we're here in the top half of inning number [Applause] three a and miss it's a strike out oh there he gets the slider in on his hands and it just eats him off you know it's hard to get the bat around on a pitch like that in tight you just feel like you're crowded on the inside part of the plate can't get any extension that's what he definitely should have laid off of Freeman takes a ball as he stands in for the second [Applause] time right-handed reliever on the ground to third throws across the diamond and Freeman is retired and that'll do it two-run shot for the Dodgers this inning it's now a 6 nothing ball game Major League Baseball is on the show back in the Brocks ready to go for the last half of the inning here's the Yankees catcher now Francisco Mahia [Applause] and the pitch well every pitcher wants a run support and having a lead is nice but it can be challenging for some pitchers I think keeping the mindset to attack instead of trying to be too fine and have too much finesse go after hitters and get quick outs the two ball that's [Applause] out stays [Applause] alive and that's off the Inside Edge and it's two and two got him looking and he didn't like the call frustrating end to the atat for the hitter and I'm sure that's going to sit on him for a little while you want to be ready to hit the fast ball sometimes you can overthink things and I think that was the case right there birdie stands in now and watches strike one the Yankees with a lot of ground to make up here in the last half of the third swing in a Miss bringing the cheese on that one Hill ball two strike here's the 02 and there's a ball two strike [Applause] got him swinging had him way out front of the slurve he's locked in at the plate when he's using the whole field he was out in front there just needs to let the ball travel a little more and his timing will be back on track good pitch for the strikeout two out space is empty Alex Verdugo getting ready to [Applause] hit pitch misses inside ball one wouldn't chase that time I can't play around with him here it's a six-run lead at this point got to attack hitters even if you give up a solo shot and that's a little bit high and now three and0 Aaron judge on deck for the Yankees righty to the pl and there's the automatic [Music] [Applause] two down dolman on foul we'll see another payoff pitch [Applause] right-hander kick steals back up the middle in a base hit Joey gets on base and keeps it going hitting is really easy for some guys one thing that I can see already his Bat stays in the Zone on plane for an extended period of time and guys like that they have a high contact rate and they have more barrels because of that bat being on plane and even when you don't get it great it's still hit hard enough to dunk something in like that in front of the center fielder judge in the box now as he looks at ball one second plate appearance of the day for him Verdugo off of first with two away hard grounder into the outfield for a knock throw in holds the lead runner at second two on now with two away now batt right field wato now over for one he struck out swinging last time first pitch doesn't find the zone two on two outs and there's a foul [Applause] ball at the belt and fires so a foul ball makes it one and [Applause] two BS that off to the left and will do it again [Applause] fights it off you'll see another two outs couple of base runners at first and second and another ball two outs right through there got him picks up strikeout number seven yank strand a pair they still find themselves down six zip and welcome back to the ballpark and now it's Gavin Lux gav [Music] the right hater back to work just missed that one well upstairs and now two and0 and the pitch highfly ball pretty well struck out towards Right Center that's back tattooed and gone that'll fire up the Dugout home run number five on the season and they add a run it's 7 nothing that's their third home run of the game they're having a lot of fun at the plate in this one they've got the long ball working for them on autopilot in a two- count a hitter is on high alert this is what you live for to be in the driver seat here he got a pitch that he could handle and he hit that pitch really hard nice home run Jason Hayward steps to the plate for the Dodgers next offering popped in the air right field stto snags it and there's one down now batt the leel and up next for Los Angeles teosa Hernandez part of the order coming through now and with one home run already in this inning they're definitely looking to do some more damage and a good fast ball to start him off at strike [Music] one now this one's crushed down the line hooking foul ball [Applause] one run across in the frame so far top half of inning number four next one misses one and two the count got him swinging two outs Bas is empty here's Mook to hit one for [Applause] two and that's a strike two down nobody on here in the rubber match of this three game series missed with a change up one and one [Applause] kicks andial that one fouled off two and two two down nobody on battling here as he fouls it away down on strikes and that will end the inning one in the inning and it comes from a rather unlikely power source it's now 7 nothing you're watching Major League Baseball exclusively on the show back now in the Bronx John chabby and Chris Singleton with you and leading off the bottom of the fourth glaver Torres [Applause] Tores and a pitch fought off foul you know these Yankees just lacking discipline at the plate in this ball game so many of their outs have come from weak contact on pitches they're chasing outside of the strike zone you can't do much of anything with those locations and that's been true again today and it's foul [Applause] away and that one is lifted in the air Hayward makes a nice run a catch and as a pitcher when the hitters are swinging at everything you feel no need to challenge inside the zone you just keep working the corners and expanding that Strike Zone and Beyond and they just keep eating right out of your hand ground ball up the middle Betts gathers and throws the first Rizzo out of the play now bat third basem DJ and now it's DJ lameu digging in doubled in his first [Applause] a top of the zone and it's called a strike he's pitching well but not throwing a ton of first pitch strikes usually doesn't work out for success but he can never predict baseball that's toward Center outman settles underneath it he's got it and that is out number number three so they make short work of them there on to the top of the fifth we go it's the Dodgers seven and the Yankees nothing and we're back we go to the top of the fifth and at the plate for the Dodgers James [Applause] outman here comes a pitch liner saved it first they put a really good swing on that pitch and hit the ball hard you know line drives won't always find a hole but the more you can hit the ball like that with good exit below the better off you're going to be in the long run Will Smith steps to the plate for the Dodgers he's over one just missed movement in the Yankees pen Ian Hamilton the heart throwing righty is up and loosening [Applause] offering in there for a strike that strike one right through there for a [Applause] strike next offering is downstairs and another [Applause] [Music] [Applause] ball and down on strikes he goes now two [Applause] away two out Bas is empty now it's the DH sh OTA he's already homered in this game [Applause] swings and misses and it's one sometimes a hitter will go up there and guess and it's not just pulling something out of the sky but expecting because of Tendencies a certain pitch and a certain location he just guessed [Applause] wrong kicks and fires got him outside pitch got the better of him that time Dodgers go down quietly but they're still in control it's 7 [Applause] nothing we head to the bottom of the fifth now it's the short stop Anthony vul Anthony V the pitch and there's a strike good heater at 98 you know these Yankees as this game goes on have to be more disciplined at the pl they've been chasing pitches outside the zone all game and it's led to some frustrating moments they've been fooled quite a bit today the pitch swings and misses struck him out the catcher number 13 Francisco Mahia coming up to hit struck out looking in his first back fast ball for a strike one out base is empty now One Missed I got a ball one [Applause] strike good eye in that spot and that's downed away oh they have had a hard time scoring in this one the pitcher out there on the mountain wants to keep attacking make sure that they don't get any confidence one down base is empty hey [Applause] helpful swing and a highfly ball to left Hernandez makes the grab two down now B the designated hit so the batting order turns over John birdie at the plate birdie measures 5T 10 in 190 lb and they traded for him earlier this year that's through there for a strike [Applause] that's to Third and it goes just [Applause] foul and here comes bows it back with two strikes oh he's got to be pretty proud of this audience so far sometimes guys cower coming into a ballpark like this but he's attack hitters pitching on the road like this is very impressive this is that is his own going to count one and two two down nobody on last half of inning number five wouldn't chase that time [Applause] [Applause] two outs foul ball another two- two upcoming looking sharp just to strike away from five shutout [Applause] Innings on the ground out to short BTS whips it to First out number three still nothing on the scoreboard for him after five it's the Dodgers seven and the Yankees nothing back here in New York all right we go to the top half of inning number six Muny digs in the pitch and that one a little below the knees and that is ball one right through there for a strike one thing with Max Muny and it'll be interesting to see what he throws here he hammers the fast swing and a miss and that one missed by a ton two strike popped up to the left into foul ground lahu pulls it in on the run the first Bas number five Freddy Here Comes Freddy Freeman up to hit this guy makes great contact one of the best in the game at putting Bat on Ball he's got such quick hands and he's gaining pitch recognition that keeps him Square to the plate there's a good chance that is it's in and out of his glove but plenty of time to recover and that's the second out the batter number second gav back to the top of the Dodgers order here's the second basem Gavin Lu [Applause] Fly ball pretty well struck right field that's bat didn't quite have enough no runs no hits no errors two three4 do up in the home half of the six it's the Dodgers seven and the Yankees [Applause] nothing well we go bottom six and now Alex Verdugo Alex Vero Otani back to work popped up foul territory behind the plate makes the grab one away the center fielder number 99 Aaron Jud Here Comes Aaron judge swing and a miss just an outstanding job of spinning the baseball moving it around doing what he does the pitch ball one definitely a frustrating day for the offense but when they look at it this guy's had his best stuff been paint in the corner working on the edges and changing speeds just a difficult one you tip your cap swing and a highfly ball down the right field line makes the grab for the second out now batting right fielder two outs Bas is empty here's wodo who's over for two with a pair of strikeouts [Applause] ball one [Applause] there he swings and fouls one off the Dodgers up big in this one here in the bottom of the six so now one and two wow good luck catching up to that one stes [Applause] left hand batter weights smoke to right center and this one's going to go out of here that was blasted to the Moon his 11th of the year it's 71 that one just sounded different and might have been the loudest moment yet man my ears are ringing I could feel that swing from the booth what I love about this swing is he stayed tall allowed his hands to go directly to the baseball letting that batad get down through the ball to create Back Spin and hit it out of the ball P really nice job Bas is empty with two away here comes glaber Torres that that one finds the Zone strike one two down nobody on and a strike to glaber man he's close as he's trying to get through six full Innings right now he's about to throw his 100th pitch I'd be surprised if this isn't it for [Applause] him now next offering misses and that's ball one movement in the bullpen Nabil kismat preparing to come on if needed the Yanks with a lot of ground to make up here in the third and final game of the [Applause] series struck Him Out Swinging snuck the fast ball by him but a solo home run will at least get this closer to respectability it's 71 6 innings in the books on MLB The shows game of the week back at Yankee Stadium we go to the top of the seventh and at the plate for the Dodgers Jason Hayward the right hander back to work that one misses one and0 and a liner out in right center for a base hit Soo Runner aboard to start the inning teoscar Hernandez digs in now one for three fernandz hammers that one deep left field and forget it his seventh home run of the season it's 9-1 that's their fourth home run of the game they can't stop and they won't stop hitting home runs in this one boo they're clearly feeding off of each other at the dish love to see a hitter aggressive on the first pitch of an at bat you watch him from the on Deck Circle so when you step in the Box you're ready to pull the trigger wherever it's at really good job by the hitter total conviction on that swing new pitcher now Ian Hamilton and he's been hit pretty hard at times this year so he's looking for better right now giving up more than a hit for any and now it's mukie Betts and the first pitch misses for ball one you know these Dodgers simply put are producing a lot of quality swings just look at how the ball's coming off their bats and tell me it's fun playing defense at this level they've got seven hits at 90 plus mph exit velocity so you got to look alive out there out of the left Center for a line drive base hit stringing them together that's three hits in a row just a solid swing right there caught it out front and ripped it into the outfield for the base hit those always feel great so a man aboard and now the center fielder James outman that's in for for a strike at 95 o and [Applause] one leftand hitter Waits and it's even up nobody out with a pair of runs across in the frame here in the top half of inning number seven and another ball [Applause] righty delivers swinging a foul over the screen and back out of play [Music] two two now lifted in the air right center field sizing this one up and he makes the catch and there's one down the batter the catcher Will Smith man at first and here's the catcher Will Smith [Applause] there's a strike 95 of that one good approach right there you want to get something just a little higher that you can Elevate stay out of that double play next offering is down low [Applause] inside corner and that's called a strike just a really nice slider down and in there he wants to get the hitter Thinking Fast Ball speed him up and just subtract some velocity and add a little [Applause] movement that one not close and that's ball two the pitch swings through it and that's a strike out and now here's the Dodgers designated hitter sh Otani [Applause] just missed good slider down and in can be so hard to get on plane with you're better off taking that [Applause] pitch sliced hard but foul VTS leads off first with two down to the inning [Applause] [Music] misses off the play and the Count's even a [Applause] two and there's a fly Ball Deep right field and gone another Homer he's done it again his second Homer of the game and they throw a pair on the board it's 111 that's their fifth Homer of the game man they're all getting into the action it's starting to feel like a home run derby up here knew what pitch he wanted to hit spit on some other pitches in this at bat was very patient and it paid off so two away with nobody on and next for La Max [Applause] Muny and a good eye there two outs that one's in there and that strike one one ball one [Applause] strike two down nobody on so a foul ball makes it one and [Music] [Applause] two outside [Applause] [Applause] and a foul ball he stays alive the Dodgers up big in this one here in the rubber match of this three- game series on the ground and that's just foul [Applause] spoils that one and it remains two and [Applause] two and a pitch knocks that one away and will'll do it again and the right-hander deals swung on popped up left side lahu has a beat on it brings it in for the third out but two round Trippers in this inning the long ball was working Midway in inning number seven and it's time to stretch it's major league baseball and it's on the show we're back in a new pitcher here to start the bottom of the seventh Nabil kismat he pitched yesterday and we'll see him once again number 74 nabel chrism and here is Anthony Rizzo Yankee the first baseman Anthony [Applause] Rizo and a pitch that one a little bit high and it's w [Applause] and0 and he deals pitch misses there two and0 and the righty deals Clips the corner and it's two and one pick a bat right here he did the team thing took until he got a strike now he's got to go to work shorten up that swing a little bit do whatever it takes to get on base swing and a ball lifted left field Hernandez makes the play and there's one down up next for the Yankees the third baseman up to the plate steps DJ l takes low for ball one ball one the Yankees with a lot of ground to make up here the bottom of the seven next pitch is [Applause] outside and another ball [Applause] in there at the knees and now three and one territory great the wall [Applause] [Applause] comes one one [Applause] fou [Applause] [Applause] out of this that's l really really impressive and Prett first [Applause] pitches right [Music] [Applause] and [Applause] [Applause] [Applause] the [Applause] St on the ground see if he can settle himself [Applause] down that's a strike and the count is two and [Applause] two this one in the air center field outman makes the play and that's the third out one scores in the inning coming on this solo home run we look look ahead to inning number eight back after this on the show we're at the top of the eight and at the plate for the Dodgers Freddy Freeman comes a pitch and that's outside ball one and the pitch and that is in for a strike and the count one and [Applause] one righty to the plate in the air on the infield on his way over caral it one up one down now B second Bas Gavin Lu so the lineup flips over now it's the second baseman Gavin Lu that one finds the zone and that is strike one [Applause] swinging a Miss as he was late that time good late sink on that fast ball out of the hand looks so good and then by the time he gets in The Hitting Zone hard to get the barrel to it next pitch misses way outside base is empty one away and we're in the top of the eighth good job to fight that one off on the ground right side collected by Torres High throw to first and he can't reach it well an error like that you look at the scoreboard and you kind of wonder if they are losing focus out there and look it it can be tough to stay locked in when you're getting blown out we've all been there and I'm not saying that's definitely what happened on this play but it's not a great look one out runner at second and up next for Los Angeles Jason [Applause] Hayward and there's the strike oh one's the count the pitch [Applause] B so a foul ball makes it one and two man it's second and another [Applause] ball and they'll do it again and the pitch swing and a miss got him to go up the ladder for the K with that kind of velocity and elevated fast ball even if it's still in the strike zone can be tough for hitters to get on top of teoscar Hernandez steps to the plate for the Dodgers [Applause] this one in the air right field stto settles under it and makes the catch and that is that so the Dodgers leave one and it remains an 11-2 ball game bottom of the eighth down the number two hitter Alex verd to go the pitch and that's in for a [Applause] strike Off the Mark there and it's a ball and a [Applause] strike wouldn't chase that time [Applause] high in the air out to right Hayward makes the catch one down the center fielder number 99 Aon and now big number 99 Aaron [Applause] judge just missed next pitches downstairs two count to a guy with this much pop at the dish you better expect him to be turning on something it's going to either get hit hard to the pull side or the fans better look out in the stance and another [Applause] ball ripped to Short in plenty of time to First judge out on the play up next for the Yankees the right fielder two out space is empty so now the Yankees cleanup hitter W sto and that's in there for strike one I think he was sitting off speed right there because he just let the fast go by Swing and a miss and it's nothing in two another O2 count right here pitcher just in the driver's seat he can go anywhere he wants to go right here Ki sandio that's a little bit [Applause] low missed with a change up now two and two he's trying to stay down in the zone but the hitter just will not Chase now back in a two- two count he's going to have to go to something else to get him out two outs bouncer to Second the throw to first third out this one pretty well decided at this point ninth inning coming up it's the Dodgers 11 and the Yankees two we're back it's the top of the night and there's a new pitcher on the M Scott EOS he doesn't get a lot of strikeouts compared to other relievers so he relies on getting that soft contact and the defense doing work behind him they'll have to be in their toes with him on the bomb here's mooki now year in and year out this guy an MVP candidate [Applause] the pitch in the air left field berdugo gets under it nabs it and there's one down he was all over that first pitch fast ball just barely missed it man this guy was ready to hit and next for La James outman [Applause] just missed double barreled action in the bullpen Caleb Ferguson the Lefty looks to be getting himself ready Lo Isa the right-hander also getting loose the Dodgers up big in this one here at the top of the N [Applause] one down base is empty and another [Applause] ball got the back going too soon and strike two [Applause] and the next pitch is way [Applause] outside left-and hitter Waits out of line out towards Center judge calls it in to a [Applause] away now batting catcher two outs Bas is empty and now the catcher comes up to him Will [Applause] Smith swing and a popup foul territory for the catcher Mahia hauls it in to end the inning nothing doing for the offense that time five six and seven will lead things off in the bottom of the night it's the Dodgers 11 and the Yankees two back in the Bronx all set for the bottom of the night and here is Gaber Torres kisat back to work out towards left Center and there's a one away every day during batting practice these outfielders about 10 minutes of balls in the gaps they practice this and when the game comes they make the play perfectly he's two outs away and now here is Anthony Rizzo and first off ring is fouled off leftand batter weights and a swing to miss the Yanks with a lot of ground to make up here at the last half of inning number nine next offering is downstairs tough to take a two strike change up that just missed I think it frozen the pitch in the air out towards right Cent outman heading to the alley brings it in with a nice running grab two down now bat third DJ so last chance for the Yankees here's DJ lameu almost drove one out of here last time up flyed out to the warning track and the first pitch misses for ball [Applause] one just missed [Applause] that's a strike across the top of the zone two down nobody on we're in the last half of the ninth inning they're down to their final strike Ben he really sells the change up with that arm action the Yankees down to their final strike on the ground and this should do it steps on the bag himself ball game the ball for his first career save deserves to be on display at his house I mean
