ball big swing in a miss one and two for count Miss has stuck him out comes Tommy Edmund Tommy Ed and first off ring is fouled off Bo we're watching a pitcher on the mound who can do it all Ryan has one of the best fasts we've ever seen and he's as durable as they call him nobody strikes out batters like the Ryan Express down on strikes he goes and there's two down two outs is empty here's mooki [Applause] now live drive base hit right center field so a two out Knock keeps the inning alive couldn't have timed it up any better than that first pitch fast in a great spot to do some damage he squared it up nicely and now teoscar Hernandez in there at the knees strike one bets off of first with two away that one off the mark and now it's even one and one BR ball to the right side and it finds its way through for a hit throw stops the lead runner at second two on and two out the batter now will be Will Smith first round pick out of Louisville in 2016 right there for a [Applause] strike move to Second and B Dives back first and second two down and we're just getting started here in the top of the first SS and misses and the count is and swing and a miss him out that's out number three and now the short stop Trey Turner obviously a guy who makes good contact hits for average but one of the things in today's game the value in the fact that he hits both righties and lefties that one ripped bangs off the wall makes the turn and heads for second got in time it's a no waiting around right there he was ready to swing it on the first pitch just a solid swing right there caught it out FR and it into the outfield for the base hit always great juano stands in now and watches strike one and there's a foul ball and it's second that one is upstairs he really committed to that fast up at the top of the Zone he knows that if he makes a mistake in the zone he gets hit hard this one swung on and hit way back there goodby he circles the bases it's two nothing he's so good at getting his arms extended and that's exactly what he did right there'll typically pitch in that part of the plate but he doesn't allow his wrist to roll over stays through the ball gets the and gets the Home Run here's Jose Ramirez highfly ball lifted in the air right field BS makes the grab one away here's trout maybe caught that one off the Ed just a little bit couldn't Barrel it up enough to really Drive [Applause] swinging a foul straight back trout is one of the best players of his generation he's a fan favorite because he brings a rare combination of speed power and allaround talent to the team he's exactly the type of player you want to build around throw on to Freeman and there's two downs the Le field y [Applause] Alvarez yon Alvarez at the plate and takes High [Applause] there lifted in the air right center field and they get the out on Alvarez and that's the third out all set for the start of the inning stepping in the long ball threat Max Muny that one fouled off after scor rins where you're looking for that shut down inning get that hot team back in there to swing the bats try to stay away from this Lefty left handers like the B down and in down L and in the [Applause] dirt and the pitch keeps the going with a foul [Applause] ball Miss struck him out and one G Ro the there's the strike The Swinging to miss and he really the change up with that arm action to the swing a miss two away now after the drop third strike two outs spces empty James outman steps to the plate for the [Applause] Dodgers that's outside and that's ball one the Dodgers down by a pair here at the top of the second that's offering in there for a strike and it's one and one the one- one is fouled off the onew hard ground ball base [Applause] KN and that keeps the inning alive batting done the second now it's Gavin L this is a great Dynamic right here Speedy runner at first thinking about taking second catcher with the pop time that leaves Jaws on the floor this might get [Applause] interesting and he swings and misses and it's nothing in w o and one Ryan picks over and he's back in there [Applause] two outs slice the other way that's a base hit throw in holds the lead runner at second two on now with two away back to back singles show a willingness to drive that pitch the opposite way didn't get jumpy didn't try to pull the ball he let it get deep took the barrel right to it and then extended through the swing for the line drive base hit [Applause] Freddy Freeman up to the dish that's first pitch doesn't find the Zone outman the lead runner at second Lu at first two out of the inning Ryan one of the best strike out pit in the game and that certainly is a benefit to him when he's in a spot like this swings through strike two yeah if you're going to be in the game in high L SW over top of the curveball and we're back here's the third basem Adrien Bel Clarity back to work right through there stri SW it is high it is it is a gigantic blast it's three nothing that one was a hanger and Pitch typically don't get away with making a mistake like that and right there he made him pay and now it's Brandon la he was late there strike one got it deleted you give up that lead off home run go back to work focus on this next batter that one to First and he handles it himself for the out here is Marcus Sim the second basem Marcus Sime and first offering is fouled off the Marcus a career-high 45 homers in 2021 with the blue he parlay that into a seven-year free agent deal with the Rangers lifted in the air out to left Hernandez settles underneath it makes the catch for the out and there are two down here's adley rman adley rman [Applause] Dr ball right side Lux tosses to First out number three and welcome back to the ball top half of the third inning and at the plate for the Dodgers Tommy Edmond Edmond Ryan back to work up the middle Trey Turner gloves it and he beats it that's a hit great try there just a good job putting the ball in play Then busting down the first Baseline beat the throw pretty easily and now they've got some speed on first so we'll see if they try to get him into motion now it's mie bets for a stri still in one well here's a good opportunity in this inning to get on the scoreboard after that leadoff hit and hardly order coming up right behind him this is where they need to get going nobody out runner at first the next pitch misses and it's one and one vs is definitely one of those guys that excels at everything he does in terms of baseball he can do it all one World Series batting titles gold gloves and everything else you can think of nabs it [Applause] now here's tar Hernandez one for one with a singles so far Hernandez getting to start in left batting in the cleanup spot and he was born in the Dominican Republic that one a triple digits swings through that one good late sink on that fast out of the hand looks so good and then when the time gets in The Hitting Zone hard to get the barrel to it and that gets down for a base hit they get it in quickly so first and second now one out now batter and up to the plate is Will Smith three p strike out last time up got to put up more of a fight in this one [Applause] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] that's a strike and it's own and one swing and a miss and that's strike two no ball two stri swing through that one it's a strike out and now it's Max M went down on strikes his first time through the corner one one that one almost got him straighten him up a little bit one and two and we're back as we go to the last of the third now it's the short stop Trey Turner Turner and here it comes and that is in for a strike it's old one you know this group of hits doing a good job of Simply getting theat on the B this game the numbers back that up they're hting everything thrown at them their contact rate is in the low 90s it's like they know what's coming and that's just pretty ridiculous what they're doing right now those numbers are well above the major league aage here's the 02 ripped on a line and there's one down here's woto he's already homered in this game the right [Applause] Feld [Music] goo just off the outside edge tried to back door with that slider right there but just missed off the plate good pitch though shot missed one out base is EMP SW on and there it goes it is high it is far it is another home run his second home run of the game it's four nothing can be pretty dangerous when you fall behind in the count you still got to try to find a way to keep that hit off Bal well he wasn't able to do it there the hit did a nice job of turning that pitch around not missing it and a hit count one down now at the plate Jose Ramirez that one is absolutely belted into the dive and he got it that's just a great effort right there beauti job tracking that ball down it was sinking so quickly kind of a tough call do I lay out I play it on the bounce he made the right decision and he gets the out excellent job trap in the box now no balls in a strike up the strike zone hasn't been the problem so far it's the quality of the strikes that's been the real issue and you look at the first inning that's what we saw too many pitches out over the [Applause] plate got [Applause] as we go to the top of the fourth the batter will be the short stop Miguel Roos Roos the pitch and there's the strike you know these Dodgers 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 pun out there looks like he's picked up right where he left off next is the designated hit James out he's already singled in this [Applause] game and that one is in for a strike and as a pitcher when the hitters are swinging at everything you feel no need to challenge inside the Zone just keep working the corners and expanding that Strike Zone and Beyond and they just keep eating right out of your hand def for the strike down two outty Gavin Lu steps to the plate for the Dodgers and a miss and 102 on the radar gun on the ground out to short whips it to first on the Run time got him and that'll do it ready to go for the last half of the inning now the left fielder yon Alvarez and first off ring is fouled off well he hasn't quite settled in out there four runs in three Innings he's going to have to have some quick one two three Innings to pitch deep into this ball game behind 02 he steps out for time the 02 just off the outside part of the plate a good take foul ball still a one and two count now he's desperately looking for that swing and Miss he's going to have to just change speeds a little bit try to move it around create just a little bit of Illusion at the end left hand batter weights got him looking and one out now down the third B Adrian Bel he's already Homer here in this one Bel and that one is lifted in the air B settles underneath it two away La at the PL now first Bas BR wow that's a base hit and that extends the inning NADA number two second basan now it's Marcus Simeon Marcus he's over one Sime hot shot to first base and he snags it to end the [Applause] inning ready now for the fifth in now it's the Dodger lead off hitter Freddy Freeman Freddy Freeman the pitch and that's outside and that's ball one swing and a miss that one at one one [Applause] strike bounc to the right side and the lead offense set down in their half the F Tommy Edmond at the plate he's doing a nice job of keeping the ball out of the air lets the defense work behind him with another ground ball good [Applause] execution catches the Zone one things out there on the mound not messing around at all he's been in attack mode since the very start up front there as he swings through it no balls two strikes oh and two now battling here as he fouls it away swinging for the strike out blew the express right by his b for strike three M bets now made his debut with the Red Sox in 2014 and actually had all run against the Dodgers in 2016 yeah that's pretty cool mooki is fantastic for baseball a great player big personality he's played for some of the most popular teams in the League pitch and that's in for a strike [Applause] 01 try to get him to chase on the change up that time one and one and the righty deals so a foul ball makes it one and two looking sharp just a strike away from five shut out Innings two down nobody on and they'll do it again and a onew and another ball well he's not afraid to fall into a two- strike count knows the strike zone very well so much so that I think umpires will look at him and determine whether it's a ball or strike if he swings or not two down nobody on we're at the top of the fif R he's having a tough time getting a pitch by him as a hitter you feel pretty confident that you're seeing different pitches still able to make some of contact out towards right center field drops into the glove and that is that we head to the bottom of the here's the catcher rman adley rman wind to the pitch just missed right through there for a strike on a strike the pitch flyball down the line Hernandez under it puts it away for the out and there's one away the batter number seven the lineup flips over here's turn Turner now Turner that one in the dir one and0 base is empty one away last half of inning number five bounce to the left side Roos s it to First Turner is out two outs and now swing a line drive and a base hit up the middle so Jose Ramirez now gets a chance with two goone oh this has been a really nice game still PR early in the game some best scenario might be if he can come in here and get severs kind of bridge the gap that starter left one now it's Jose Ramirez that one's in there o and [Applause] one and a good idea down and the rhander deals and a foul ball stto the runner at first with two gone to the right side he takes it himself to the bag and that'll do it top of the sixth inning now it's going to be Oscar Hernandez osar herandez the pitch and first off ring is fouled off I'm impressed by the number of first pitch strikes he's not afraid of contact some guys they'll nibble just cuz they don't want to get hit hard that's not what we're seeing here two good job to fight that one off rander kick steals swinging a miss that one in the dirt in time to get him one away in the strikeout stepping in Will Smith Z for two with a pair of strikeouts Smith in his Fifth Season 29 years old a former first round pick back in 2016 and it's fouled away Bas is empty one away and we're in the top half of the six comes up empty that's strike two oh and [Applause] two miss the velocity blasted it right past two outs faces empty here's Max M that funky [Applause] m a swinging a miss and that's strike one no balls one strike a strike in there righty to the plate and swing to miss down on strikes and good work there as he gets him one two [Applause] three bottom of the sixth inning and now batting Mike Trout with this kind of lead he can swing freely try to hit the ball out of the park do what he loves to do and he deals that catches the top part of the zone that strike one some hitters are just more confident they can track that first pitch out of the hand of the pitcher they don't care if they fall behind 01 misses the zone and that is ball one and that one hammered that's back there goodby and they t one on board it's five anytime you have a pitch down the middle of the pl the percentages go up for the hitter to do damage even if it's a pretty good Sinker like that one nice piece of hitting there at the plate here's yordon Alvarez and that one missing low one R across in the frame so far here in the bottom of the six drilled out towards left center field that's well struct you miss and they add a run it's six nothing back to back Homer always a special feeling at the ballark especially if it's your team that does it and those guys get to slap hands at home plate this is the kind of thing that can really fire up a ball Club so up next Adrien Beltre and first offer ring is fouled off kick sandio breaking ball inside one ball one strike fouled off left side right-handed relever down on strikes and that's the first out nice recover after giving up the Homer here's some real power in the pl Brandon L one for two that misses the Zone ball w [Applause] ready there for a strike he must have been looking for something else cuz he gave up on that pitch a little early it was right down Main Street probably not going to see a better pitch to hit in this H back still only one out here in the inning timeout asked for and give it at the plate now [Applause] that's the second out here's the second Marcus Simeon second Mar [Applause] Sime on the ground to third M gathers and throws to First that ends the inning new inning getting started down the short stop Miguel Roos the right hander back to work down the line and that's a foul ball next pitch is inside one and one and a swinging miss the P one and two the count fights that one away still one and two and the pitch and a miss dropped him out and there's one away James steps to the pl for the Dodgers struck out on just three pitches last time gets the outside corner with that one the Dodgers with a lot of ground to make up here in the top half of inning number seven next off bring is in for a strike swing and a miss struck him out that's out number two two outs and at the for the Dodgers Gavin l the pitch is in for a strike one one swing and a miss chased it out of the zone no ball two two outs digs on that last pitch [Applause] Michael Groove takes over on the mound and with the big deficit on the scoreboard he almost has to just put that out of his mind every outing matters for relievers in their numbers but I think it's tough to get up for this type of appearance the same way you would for one in a close game adley rman getting ready to hit the catcher adley rman as he turns on the rubber with that good live arm deliver Hammer face hit so now back to the top of the order man those are the types of hits where you don't vibration your hands such a good feeling pretty much middle middle and that's what you fall asleep dreaming about as a hitter so no surprise he put a great swing on it that's toward Center makes the catch and there's one gone on Soo now three for three with a pair of home runs and a single there's a strike man it first one away ball one there the one- one is fouled off [Applause] pitch misses there and it's two and two swing and a miss struck him out now here is Jose [Applause] Ramirez missed with a change up ball one Rutman the First with two away [Applause] [Music] catches the outside corner and it's one and two that's foul off to the right side keeps the ab going these hitters like this that have so much power look forward to seeing them hit the ball a long way but if you're in the stands are you in a broadcast Booth or you're a rider better keep your eye on the game Lux throws to First in time and Ramirez is set down and welcome back to the ballpark and here's the first baseman Freddy [Music] Freeman the right hater back to wor immediately pumps in a strike to the left-handed hitter swings and fouls one off oh and two now down for the strike out seven in a row by way of the K Tommy Edmond steps to the plate for the Dodgers s through that one o and one it's 0 and one highfly ball out to left field Alvarez in position calls it in two away and now it's mukie Betts one for three [Applause] bottom of the zone and a called strike oh he's looking to try to finish off eight solid Innings out there on the M he's just getting to 100 pitches right now man it's been so impressive he's been really good in this one knocks that one away and and will do it again two down nobody on and we're in the top of the eight misses it's a strike [Applause] out and we're back here's Mike Trout the pitch on a line base hit so a runner aboard to start the inning seems like he got exactly what he was looking for right there these days when you see a ball come off the bat like that the first thing you want to know as a spectator what was the exit velocity 109 in this case I mean that's just impressive and it's so cool we can get that sort of feedback so instantly in today's game liner and that should be extra bases throw comes in runner sto second and third nobody out everything came together perfectly for him right there you see a ball come off the bat like that you know it was pretty much a perfect swing and for me I start wondering I'm looking on the computer what was the exit velocity this time 106 [Applause] at the pl Adrien Bel that one finds the corner it's own one two in scoring position nobody out here the bottom half of the eighth inning and one and two they try to get him go chase the pitch down and away but he wouldn't bite next off way [Applause] upstairs wouldn't chase that time the only adjustment he needs to make is his Target if you aim at the outside corner that slider's going to end up way off the plate perhaps look a little more down the middle and get it right here comes the he goes into second as two R scoring the play always feels amazing getting a job done when the team needs you to come through it's just bigger than your own individual stats a well deserved double on a great swing got everything going on time he stayed balanced he sared it up about as well as you could possibly ask now a chance for Brandon LA and the pitch smoked on the ground second fires over to first one gone to the bottom of the eight so diing in Marcus Simon the second B marus time out Sime swings and blasts one deep to left Center in one hops Off the Wall should be extra bases he's in safely at second a run comes in on the play picks up RBI you connect ands off now they turn to Blake TR we all know about slider it's just filthy man and one of the better ones in the game I'd say spin ratees very high and it just breaks a ton man it second with one away and now the switch in and catcher adley Rutman ball one no strikes Simeon over it second one down swing and a pop off in foul gra mun drifts towards it and puts the squeeze on that one and there's two away Trey Turner with a chance [Applause] now that one hit to right BS on the move he makes the and that'll do it and welcome back to the ballpark all set to start the ninth in this one now it's the Dodger cleanup hitter teoscar Hernandez Ryan back to work and that one fouled off he's been so sharp today even over a 100 pitches thrown his Skipper is leaving him in there to finish the job no ball two stri and a pitch and he chases that one and a strike out for the first out here in the N here's the catcher Will Smith three strikeouts already he's over for three [Music] [Applause] that one finds the zone and that's strike one and that's through there for a strike quickly into 02 count both pitches were down in the zone I think you set your sights a little bit higher because you'll have a tendency to chase if you look down in that area good eye right there faces empty one away here at the top of the night misses it's a strike out here comes Max M over three with three strikeouts pitch in for a strike and it's and [Applause] one they're down to their final strike had a tough day at the play three strikeouts already it's hard not to think negative but you got to find a way to somehow set her up the baseball and put it in play ripped on the ground is second and wi by n runs you have plenty of insurance it's a huge confidence boost when you can spit that many runs up on the board and I'll tell you what the next game starter say hey I hope you all save some runs for me I want to get a win as well n nothing you're Final in this one for Chris Singleton and our entire crew here at MLB the Show thanks for stopping by I'm John Shan talk to you soon
