Eric Lower got the start the 0:01:44.040 --> 0:01:47.800 left tander, looking to rebound after his last outing in Chicago. Lower, 0:01:47.840 --> 0:01:49.720 with a two out walk in the second led to 0:01:49.720 --> 0:01:51.880 a stolen base and then just like that, an RBI 0:01:51.960 --> 0:01:54.840 single from Josh Rojas and the Dodgers were in a hole, 0:01:54.960 --> 0:01:57.160 trailing Kansas City one to nothing. 0:01:57.240 --> 0:01:58.480 However, in the bottom of. 0:01:58.440 --> 0:02:03.120 The second, mookie bet he's been on a heater lately, continued. 0:02:02.560 --> 0:02:07.400 Then he swings and Hammers. It d Plett failed way 0:02:07.720 --> 0:02:10.440 backing down Mooky Bets. 0:02:10.120 --> 0:02:11.120 With a home run. 0:02:12.800 --> 0:02:16.120 Oh, Mooky home. 0:02:15.919 --> 0:02:22.280 Run number fifteen times the game. Oh, that one was 0:02:22.360 --> 0:02:27.000 hit out in Big Boy territory. 0:02:27.639 --> 0:02:28.360 Well for Betts. 0:02:28.400 --> 0:02:31.200 He came in tonight the last seven games hitting at 0:02:31.240 --> 0:02:32.800 three forty six. 0:02:33.000 --> 0:02:35.760 So a home run for Mookie Bets his fifteenth of 0:02:35.840 --> 0:02:37.720 this season. Mookie with a home run now and back 0:02:37.760 --> 0:02:40.000 to back games. It's got eleven hits in his last 0:02:40.080 --> 0:02:43.480 seven games. Dodgers and Royals tied at one in the third, 0:02:43.520 --> 0:02:46.440 though the Royals took advantage of a Mooky throwing their 0:02:46.600 --> 0:02:49.520 Salador Perez. An RBI single later gave the Royals a 0:02:49.560 --> 0:02:51.959 two to one lead. However, the Dodgers answered back in 0:02:52.040 --> 0:02:54.840 the bottom of the inning, Miguel Rojas a one out double, 0:02:54.880 --> 0:02:57.760 Then show Hey Otani came up crushed a two run 0:02:57.800 --> 0:03:00.240 home run, his twenty seventh of the season, and the 0:03:00.280 --> 0:03:02.960 Dodgers flipped the scoreboard to take a three to two lead. 0:03:03.240 --> 0:03:06.360 In the fifth, the Dodgers tacked on another, this time 0:03:06.720 --> 0:03:07.960 Hunter for Dousha. 0:03:08.760 --> 0:03:12.400 And Padusha Klobbers won deep right center. This ball headed 0:03:12.440 --> 0:03:15.160 back in his gone. 0:03:15.200 --> 0:03:19.400 Hunter Forducia his third home run of the big leagues 0:03:19.440 --> 0:03:22.640 this year is first with the Dodgers, and the Dodgers 0:03:22.639 --> 0:03:26.160 now lead it four to two as he jumped all 0:03:26.200 --> 0:03:29.520 over that Mason Black pitch and hit it over the 0:03:29.560 --> 0:03:30.720 home run seats. 0:03:30.400 --> 0:03:31.120 And right center. 0:03:31.880 --> 0:03:34.600 How about that solo home run for Hunter Fordusha, his 0:03:34.720 --> 0:03:37.240 third of the season, first as a Dodger. That's the 0:03:37.280 --> 0:03:38.800 top tier play of the game, brought to you by 0:03:38.920 --> 0:03:41.800 Arco Quality, top tier gas for less Dodgers a four 0:03:41.840 --> 0:03:44.480 to two lead, Eric Lauer. He settled in and after 0:03:44.520 --> 0:03:46.600 giving up the early two runs, he'd pitch into the 0:03:46.640 --> 0:03:49.400 seventh before turning it over to Land and Nack lower 0:03:49.560 --> 0:03:52.000 six and the third two runs four hit six strikeouts 0:03:52.200 --> 0:03:54.200 Land and that came in and put up zero's the 0:03:54.240 --> 0:03:56.400 rest of the way. A scary seed in the eighth 0:03:56.400 --> 0:03:58.880 Innua when Freddie Freeman fell into the Royals dugout while 0:03:58.920 --> 0:03:59.960 running down a pop flock. 0:04:00.320 --> 0:04:01.040 He would get up. 0:04:01.120 --> 0:04:03.480 He'd be okay finish the inning, but then come out 0:04:03.480 --> 0:04:06.360 of the game for precautionary reasons. Dodgers hold on for 0:04:06.400 --> 0:04:08.560 the win last night for to two. Eric Louer gets 0:04:08.640 --> 0:04:11.240 the victory. Dodgers finish off the three game sweep of 0:04:11.280 --> 0:04:14.480 Kansas City. With the win, now seventy three and forty eight, 0:04:14.680 --> 0:04:16.520 they currently have an eight and a half game lead 0:04:16.560 --> 0:04:19.000 in the NL West, and tonight the start of a 0:04:19.120 --> 0:04:23.760 big four game series against the Milwaukee Brewers. Roki Sasaki 0:04:23.800 --> 0:04:25.719 gets to start in the series opener, first pitch at 0:04:25.760 --> 0:04:27.520 seven to ten, and with more we head out to 0:04:27.560 --> 0:04:30.359 the galloping four broadcast booth as we say hello to 0:04:30.560 --> 0:04:32.240 Charlie Steiner and Rick Monday. 0:04:32.320 --> 0:04:33.839 Guys, all right. 0:04:33.720 --> 0:04:37.040 Tim, it's game one and twenty two. Forty one games 0:04:37.080 --> 0:04:41.440 remain in forty five days, the Dodgers one game behind 0:04:41.520 --> 0:04:44.680 Milwaukee for the best record in the National League. The 0:04:44.760 --> 0:04:48.920 Dodgers and the Braves are tied one behind Milwaukee. This, 0:04:49.000 --> 0:04:52.320 of course, the beginning of a four game series. Dodgers 0:04:52.400 --> 0:04:54.839 come into this series having swept the Royals. 0:04:55.160 --> 0:04:56.120 The Brewers were. 0:04:56.000 --> 0:04:59.320 Swept down in San Diego. Dodgers coming into this series 0:04:59.400 --> 0:05:02.800 vote playing a little bit better than Milwaukee, which has struggled. 0:05:02.440 --> 0:05:05.559 Off a little bit better granted, but still some loose 0:05:05.680 --> 0:05:08.839 ends that need to be tied up, including yesterday there's 0:05:08.920 --> 0:05:11.159 miss fire as far as a cutoff in relay, no 0:05:11.200 --> 0:05:13.320 one backing up the base. They get a runner thrown 0:05:13.320 --> 0:05:17.160 out trying to advance the ABS system and the challenge, 0:05:17.240 --> 0:05:19.240 so little things that Dave Roberts has talked about and 0:05:19.240 --> 0:05:20.919 he goes, hey, maybe I need to talk to a 0:05:20.920 --> 0:05:24.200 little bit better to some individuals. The biggest thing that 0:05:24.279 --> 0:05:27.360 comes out of I think today is that Freddie Freeman 0:05:27.480 --> 0:05:31.240 contacted Dave Roberts. And after that terrifying fault in the 0:05:31.360 --> 0:05:35.120 visiting dugout going after a pop up foul bowl last night, 0:05:35.680 --> 0:05:39.240 the good news is Freeman is okay. He's going to 0:05:39.320 --> 0:05:43.359 be in the lineup. And I saw his postgame interview 0:05:43.400 --> 0:05:46.400 last night. He was trying to make light factor of 0:05:46.440 --> 0:05:48.200 the entire thing, but he said when he left the 0:05:48.200 --> 0:05:51.960 ballpark last night he was in pain and understandably. 0:05:51.240 --> 0:05:54.919 So, and certainly watching him just walking around the ballpark today, 0:05:55.240 --> 0:05:56.800 he was walking gingerly. 0:05:57.080 --> 0:05:58.000 But he's a gamer. 0:05:58.240 --> 0:06:02.080 Yeah, absolutely, and that sends a big message, I think 0:06:02.120 --> 0:06:04.320 to the rest of the ball club. So a little 0:06:04.320 --> 0:06:07.320 bit different. As far as the lineup tonight, Mookie Benz 0:06:07.400 --> 0:06:09.640 it was a planned night that he was not going 0:06:09.680 --> 0:06:13.120 to start tonight. He's played in thirteen consecutive games. Dave 0:06:13.200 --> 0:06:15.040 Roberts wanted to give him a breather, at least at 0:06:15.080 --> 0:06:17.000 the get go, he's available to come in during the 0:06:17.000 --> 0:06:20.080 game itselfs So Tommy Edmund will ban in the three spot, 0:06:20.160 --> 0:06:23.520 Freeman moves down to the number four spot, and it's 0:06:23.560 --> 0:06:25.920 going to be at short stop Miguel Rojas. 0:06:25.520 --> 0:06:29.240 Tonight and tonight's starters Roki Sasaki, who has been terrific 0:06:29.279 --> 0:06:33.040 in his last four starts going against left tager Shane Drowing. 0:06:33.240 --> 0:06:35.680 Well, I think if you're looking at this ball club too, 0:06:35.720 --> 0:06:40.159 for Susak, the fastball has been hit previous to that 0:06:40.200 --> 0:06:42.440 stretch you're talking about where has been very effective, but 0:06:42.480 --> 0:06:44.839 the fastball has been hit at a rather high batting 0:06:44.880 --> 0:06:48.000 average against because of poor location. Location has gotten better 0:06:48.040 --> 0:06:50.240 and better. And if we look at the Brewers then 0:06:50.279 --> 0:06:52.720 come in Challenge and the Pat Murphy, their manager was 0:06:52.760 --> 0:06:54.960 talking about it. Not only were they swept down in 0:06:55.040 --> 0:06:58.640 San Diego, they scored just a total of seven runs 0:06:58.680 --> 0:07:01.280 that game yesterday went innings. They did not score a 0:07:01.320 --> 0:07:04.040 lot of runs, and runners in scorner position just three 0:07:04.120 --> 0:07:05.840 for twenty eight in that series. 0:07:05.880 --> 0:07:09.000 Sasaki since the All Star breaks three and zero and 0:07:09.080 --> 0:07:12.120 a one eighty eight er. Of course, it was a 0:07:12.200 --> 0:07:14.280 long slog for him to get to that point. But 0:07:14.360 --> 0:07:15.760 since then he has found himself. 0:07:15.840 --> 0:07:17.560 Yeah, I mean, I think the other part too, is 0:07:17.640 --> 0:07:20.760 he trusts his stuff. He's just attacking the strike zone 0:07:20.920 --> 0:07:23.600 instead of trying to peck a little strike here, a 0:07:23.640 --> 0:07:26.480 little strike there. He has really kind of blossomed and 0:07:26.520 --> 0:07:29.280 hopefully it goes into full blossom here again tonight. 0:07:29.120 --> 0:07:32.440 First of four in the uh Bridies for the top 0:07:32.480 --> 0:07:35.600 record in the National League. At the moment, the Brewers 0:07:35.680 --> 0:07:38.800 lead the Dodgers by one game, but things can turn 0:07:38.840 --> 0:07:42.320 around this weekend. Now, we'll have the lineups the first 0:07:42.360 --> 0:07:44.920 pitch in greater detail later on in the hour too. 0:07:45.720 --> 0:07:47.600 All right, thank you, Charlie has been cuying down the 0:07:47.640 --> 0:07:50.320 first pitch on this Thursday night, Dodger fans, get that 0:07:50.360 --> 0:07:53.240 game d meal on at Shakey's Pizza Parlor.

You never want 0:10:09.760 --> 0:10:12.480 to see a player one fall down, go over a 0:10:12.600 --> 0:10:15.000 railing of any sorts, but to see him fall down 0:10:15.080 --> 0:10:17.720 the stairs like he did last night and the visitors dugout. 0:10:18.280 --> 0:10:21.840 When Freddie spoke to the media afterwards, the most important 0:10:21.880 --> 0:10:23.840 thing is he's okay. Like the fact that he's in 0:10:23.840 --> 0:10:25.560 the lineup today. We'll talk about that in a second. 0:10:25.640 --> 0:10:27.880 But when he spoke to the media last night, he 0:10:27.960 --> 0:10:30.040 had shared what happened and he thought that he was 0:10:30.080 --> 0:10:32.600 closer to the railing, so he really he went to 0:10:32.760 --> 0:10:35.360 lean in, to lean into the railing to get put 0:10:35.360 --> 0:10:38.360 some pressure to then catch the ball. Ultimately we know 0:10:38.400 --> 0:10:40.640 what happened. There was no railing there, so he fell 0:10:40.640 --> 0:10:43.240 down the stairs and the stairs in the dugout. It's 0:10:43.240 --> 0:10:45.280 a set and then a landing and then another set 0:10:45.360 --> 0:10:48.360 that takes you into the clubhouse. And he was saying, honestly, 0:10:48.400 --> 0:10:51.240 it was a blessing that that landing was there. It 0:10:51.360 --> 0:10:53.880 obviously hurt kind of bracing himself and he felt like 0:10:54.040 --> 0:10:57.199 just his wrists, his shoulder and his side was a 0:10:57.200 --> 0:10:59.880 little bit bruised up. Still is, of course, but the 0:11:00.000 --> 0:11:02.480 fact that he had fallen more towards that landing and 0:11:02.559 --> 0:11:05.400 his head didn't hid anything, that was the biggest thing, 0:11:05.400 --> 0:11:07.720 because that obviously could that could have been very scary. 0:11:07.800 --> 0:11:10.840 So the fact that he was able to not only 0:11:10.920 --> 0:11:13.800 talk about this fall last night, he shared that he 0:11:13.880 --> 0:11:15.839 had an experience in the past and he played with 0:11:15.920 --> 0:11:17.280 the braves and when he. 0:11:17.280 --> 0:11:19.560 Essentially fell over the side and landed in a chair. 0:11:20.400 --> 0:11:23.880 So maybe not his best quality, so it's not his 0:11:23.880 --> 0:11:26.600 first time falling down something. But the most important thing 0:11:26.640 --> 0:11:29.200 is it's not his ankle. He is okay, and he 0:11:29.280 --> 0:11:31.480 is back in there today. He texted Dave Roberts this 0:11:31.559 --> 0:11:34.280 morning saying that he was good to go. Dave has 0:11:34.280 --> 0:11:37.160 already committed to him that he's going to be down tomorrow, 0:11:37.200 --> 0:11:38.760 and so there was some thought that maybe he would 0:11:38.800 --> 0:11:40.840 flip them and give him today down and then back 0:11:40.840 --> 0:11:43.840 in there tomorrow. But because Freddie has the confidence and 0:11:43.880 --> 0:11:46.640 he's he's going to fight regardless, he wanted to be 0:11:46.720 --> 0:11:48.760 out there and so that is a very big sign 0:11:48.800 --> 0:11:51.199 because we know how valuable he is to this team 0:11:51.320 --> 0:11:54.040 and just that could have been so scary in itself. 0:11:54.080 --> 0:11:55.120 It was scary in itself. 0:11:55.120 --> 0:11:56.920 We should say no doubt about it, and they have 0:11:57.000 --> 0:11:58.720 him back in the line of his big big series 0:11:58.760 --> 0:12:01.760 begins tonight with Rookies's on the mount herest We appreciate it. 0:12:01.800 --> 0:12:03.320 We'll check in with you after the game is still 0:12:03.320 --> 0:12:05.480 to come here on Marongo Casino Dodgers on deck.

We'll hear from the manager Dave 0:12:10.080 --> 0:12:12.360 Roberts as he goes high and tight with David Vasse. 0:12:12.520 --> 0:12:14.839 But up next, an injury report, and we'll hear from 0:12:14.880 --> 0:12:17.120 Mookie Betts. He's been very hot, but not in the 0:12:17.160 --> 0:12:20.760 lineup tonight for Dave Roberts. It's the Dodgers and the Brewers. 0:12:20.840 --> 0:12:23.280 First pitch at seven ten. I'm Tim Keats's the back 0:12:23.280 --> 0:12:28.160 to back World Series champion Dodgers Audio Network. 0:12:28.360 --> 0:12:34.440 This is Marongo Casino Dodgers on Deck on your home 0:12:34.520 --> 0:12:36.680 for the Blue All season long. 0:12:37.120 --> 0:12:41.400 Long, Maronggo Casino Dodgers on Deck continues on this Thursday 0:12:41.480 --> 0:12:43.400 night as we lead jump to first pitch, Dodgers and 0:12:43.480 --> 0:12:46.480 the Milwaukee Brewers, Marongo Casino Resort and spat. 0:12:46.559 --> 0:12:48.680 It's a Grand Slam for good times. 0:12:48.960 --> 0:12:51.880 Rookie Sasaki on the mountain, the series opener, first pitch, 0:12:51.920 --> 0:12:54.160 set first seven ten kiss. 0:12:55.000 --> 0:12:58.960 It's the LA Dodgers Injury Report. 0:12:58.720 --> 0:13:01.920 Presented by UCLA Healthy, official medical partner of the Los 0:13:01.960 --> 0:13:05.640 Angeles Dodgers. Dalton Rushing on the il with the elbow injury, 0:13:05.760 --> 0:13:07.960 told David Vastag just a couple of days ago he 0:13:08.040 --> 0:13:10.120 is hoping to get a return here at some point 0:13:10.320 --> 0:13:12.360 at the end of the regular season of what capacity. 0:13:12.559 --> 0:13:13.160 Still don't know. 0:13:13.240 --> 0:13:15.800 Blake trying through the hitters yesterday, He's on the sixty 0:13:15.880 --> 0:13:18.440 day il with the right elbow inflammation. Will Smith on 0:13:18.480 --> 0:13:21.400 the il with the necktle information he is doing baseball activities. 0:13:21.440 --> 0:13:24.240 Tyler Glasnow has made two rehab starts.

If everything checks off well, 0:13:30.920 --> 0:13:34.280 sounds like he could be returning very soon. Bobby Miller, 0:13:34.320 --> 0:13:37.679 Ben Casparius, Gavinstone, also all in Oklahoma City, tried to 0:13:37.720 --> 0:13:41.440 salvage their injury riddled twenty twenty six seasons. All right, 0:13:41.559 --> 0:13:43.800 last night, Mookie BET's a big night. He had a 0:13:43.800 --> 0:13:45.840 home run. He's home to down back to back games. 0:13:45.880 --> 0:13:48.920 He's got eleven hits in his last seven games. And afterwards, 0:13:48.960 --> 0:13:50.960 caught up with Keirson Watson. 0:13:51.040 --> 0:13:53.800 Moogie is clear you've gotten back on tracking, got backs 0:13:53.840 --> 0:13:55.640 in back games with the home runs. When you look 0:13:55.720 --> 0:13:58.319 about it, look at just the power of the results. 0:13:58.400 --> 0:14:00.440 How good does it feel? Just be you right now 0:14:00.480 --> 0:14:00.880 with the plate. 0:14:01.320 --> 0:14:04.520 It feels great, you know, like I felt normal in 0:14:04.559 --> 0:14:06.679 a long time, And there's been glimpses in there, but 0:14:06.760 --> 0:14:11.240 no consistency. So this is probably the most consistent as 0:14:11.240 --> 0:14:12.720 far as days in a row that I've been in 0:14:12.720 --> 0:14:15.440 a long time, so hopefully keep it going. The boys 0:14:16.040 --> 0:14:18.000 are back winning and our win aways, and. 0:14:18.920 --> 0:14:20.840 It's fun building that consistency. 0:14:20.840 --> 0:14:22.880 It does come with confidence to feel like things for 0:14:23.000 --> 0:14:25.040 you just are kind of growing in the right direction. 0:14:25.640 --> 0:14:26.240 I feel like it. 0:14:26.320 --> 0:14:27.920 I mean, I get a couple of balls to fall, 0:14:28.080 --> 0:14:30.800 so you know, you start with start with that and 0:14:30.840 --> 0:14:32.920 build some momentum and then you just keep layering it 0:14:32.960 --> 0:14:35.920 on every day, and you know, the guys keep supporting 0:14:35.920 --> 0:14:39.000 me and keep putting positivity in my mind. So I 0:14:39.040 --> 0:14:43.040 think I'm thankful for the boys and uh seeing something 0:14:43.120 --> 0:14:43.880 fall with this. 0:14:44.000 --> 0:14:46.560 When you guys have now completed the sweep, when you 0:14:46.600 --> 0:14:48.760 look at how you all come together in the series 0:14:48.800 --> 0:14:50.480 to get back on track, what does it say just 0:14:50.520 --> 0:14:52.680 about this group and how you guys were battling and 0:14:52.680 --> 0:14:54.320 fighting to get back to your true selves. 0:14:55.040 --> 0:14:57.280 I mean, first I would say, we're human beings, So 0:14:58.560 --> 0:15:01.160 you know, I wish we were machines that played great 0:15:01.160 --> 0:15:02.120 every game, but it's not. 0:15:02.640 --> 0:15:02.920 We're not. 0:15:03.520 --> 0:15:06.520 That's not really real, But it just show's resilience. You know, 0:15:06.560 --> 0:15:09.320 we believe in each other and we know we're gonna 0:15:09.320 --> 0:15:11.320 go through our tough times, but we stick together and 0:15:11.720 --> 0:15:13.280 know that there's. 0:15:12.720 --> 0:15:14.200 Better days may be fret let you go. 0:15:14.240 --> 0:15:16.120 I have to ask you about Eric Lower to see 0:15:16.200 --> 0:15:18.320 him throw one hundred and twelve pitches to get into 0:15:18.320 --> 0:15:20.680 the seventh inning. What is it like when you're watching 0:15:20.680 --> 0:15:22.400 a guy with the pitch coown gets up early, but 0:15:22.440 --> 0:15:24.400 then he kind of locks in. He's able to get 0:15:24.400 --> 0:15:26.280 deep and give you, guys what you need it tonight. 0:15:26.720 --> 0:15:29.000 He's been amazing, man. He's every since he's put on 0:15:29.040 --> 0:15:31.280 a Dodger of uniform, he has been amazing, you know, 0:15:31.360 --> 0:15:34.560 taking the taking the field behind him is just fun 0:15:34.560 --> 0:15:37.520 to watch. And him going out right there, especially when 0:15:37.560 --> 0:15:39.360 we need him. The pin has been kind of beat 0:15:39.440 --> 0:15:41.240 up a little bit. Going out and throwing one hundred 0:15:41.240 --> 0:15:42.760 and twelve pitches in the time that we really need 0:15:42.840 --> 0:15:45.400 him is huge and shows the character and the person 0:15:45.440 --> 0:15:45.800 he is. 0:15:45.880 --> 0:15:47.960 And I'm glad he's in our team. 0:15:48.040 --> 0:15:50.160 All right, No, con congrats on this win, I guess it. 0:15:50.400 --> 0:15:52.880 Welcome back is already, yeah, thank you.

So you 0:17:52.480 --> 0:17:55.800 have to imagine like tomorrow, Dave Roberts has said that 0:17:55.960 --> 0:17:59.240 Freddy was going to be coming off the bench, same 0:17:59.280 --> 0:18:00.560 with Mookie Bett tonight. 0:18:00.920 --> 0:18:03.000 It's a long season.
