Well, last night we had ourselves 0:01:40.040 --> 0:01:44.680 an old fashioned pitchers duel, Justin Robleski and Drew Rasmussen 0:01:44.800 --> 0:01:47.360 going toe to toe in a game that took one 0:01:47.440 --> 0:01:52.040 hour and fifty two minutes, the fastest game at Dodgers 0:01:52.040 --> 0:01:56.360 Stadium since nineteen eighty two, the fastest game the Dodgers 0:01:56.360 --> 0:01:59.800 have played in general since nineteen ninety four, and it 0:01:59.880 --> 0:02:02.680 was a fast paced game with Justin Robleski, working quick 0:02:02.840 --> 0:02:06.640 six shutout Indians, three hits, five strikeouts, did not walk 0:02:06.640 --> 0:02:10.040 a batter. He threw sixty seven pitches, attacking the strikes 0:02:10.080 --> 0:02:12.880 on fifty strikes if he had last night in all, 0:02:12.960 --> 0:02:14.720 he had a one, two, three first and then put 0:02:14.720 --> 0:02:18.000 it into cruise control all the way through six innings. Meanwhile, 0:02:18.040 --> 0:02:21.840 the Dodgers offense struggled against Drew Rasmussen, who continued to 0:02:21.840 --> 0:02:23.880 put up zeros. He's been really good at his two 0:02:23.880 --> 0:02:27.640 starts leading into last night's game, But finally, in the 0:02:27.639 --> 0:02:29.840 bottom of the sixth inning the third time through the 0:02:29.880 --> 0:02:32.760 Dodgers lineup, show Heltani. 0:02:32.200 --> 0:02:37.120 Delivered Rasmussen stretch position, he will kick and come home, 0:02:37.520 --> 0:02:40.400 and old Tani swings hammers at deep the center field. 0:02:40.639 --> 0:02:42.840 This Paul heading back toward the walk on. 0:02:43.360 --> 0:02:47.000 It's a home run, Show, Hey old Tani home on 0:02:47.160 --> 0:02:50.799 number fifteen am the Dodgers get on the board, is 0:02:51.120 --> 0:02:56.280 one to nothing, Well, he hammered it to dead centers. 0:02:57.840 --> 0:03:02.480 If tomorrow afternoon's starting pitcher, Yes, show, Hey Tawny the 0:03:02.560 --> 0:03:05.320 hitter last night his fifteenth home run of the season 0:03:05.360 --> 0:03:07.520 and no doubt about her into the netting and straight 0:03:07.520 --> 0:03:08.400 away center field. 0:03:08.680 --> 0:03:11.720 RBI number forty two, his fourth home run in his 0:03:11.880 --> 0:03:14.200 last six games. As the Dodgers take a one to 0:03:14.280 --> 0:03:17.840 nothing lead, Justin Robleski would go the six innings. That 0:03:18.040 --> 0:03:20.200 was it, turned it over to the bullpen for the 0:03:20.200 --> 0:03:23.400 final three innings. Will Klein got the seventh and wouldn't 0:03:23.400 --> 0:03:27.040 you know it, a leadoff walk on five pitches. However, 0:03:27.120 --> 0:03:29.680 two batters later he got just what he needed. 0:03:30.280 --> 0:03:31.160 Two fifty two. 0:03:31.080 --> 0:03:36.480 Hitter Is Williamson. Then the pitch on the way to him, 0:03:36.760 --> 0:03:39.960 one hopper to second, Freeland goes to second, bets the 0:03:40.040 --> 0:03:44.920 turn turn to first, down him. Totle play four six, three, 0:03:47.800 --> 0:03:50.760 no runs, no hits, no aris, nobody left. 0:03:50.760 --> 0:03:51.920 It is stretch time. 0:03:52.680 --> 0:03:55.480 A huge four to six to three double play induced 0:03:55.480 --> 0:03:58.000 by Will Klein to get out of that seventh inning, 0:03:58.040 --> 0:04:00.160 no damage done. That is a top tier play. The 0:04:00.200 --> 0:04:03.200 game brought to by Arco Quality, top tier gas for less. 0:04:03.240 --> 0:04:05.000 Kyle Hurt had the eighth of one, two to three 0:04:05.040 --> 0:04:07.480 ining Tanner Scott had the ninth, struck out two of 0:04:07.480 --> 0:04:09.680 the three batters he faced. He put up a zero. 0:04:10.000 --> 0:04:13.040 Dodgers their ninth shutout win of the year, a one 0:04:13.000 --> 0:04:15.680 to nothing victory over the Rays. The show Hey o 0:04:15.800 --> 0:04:19.159 tani home run is all they needed offensively. Justin Robleski 0:04:19.200 --> 0:04:21.400 picks up the win. He's now eight and two. Drew 0:04:21.440 --> 0:04:24.040 Rasminson gets the loss. He falses six and three. Tenner 0:04:24.080 --> 0:04:26.359 Scott gets the save, his ninth of the year. The 0:04:26.400 --> 0:04:29.000 Dodgers pick up ground in the NL West as they 0:04:29.040 --> 0:04:31.200 are running away with the division. Now twenty three and 0:04:31.320 --> 0:04:34.440 nine since May thirteenth, is the Dodgers record nine games 0:04:34.520 --> 0:04:36.960 up in the NL West going into play today, and 0:04:37.000 --> 0:04:40.120 today they go for this series win and the sweep 0:04:40.279 --> 0:04:43.719 of the Tampa bay Rays. With show Hey o'tani on 0:04:43.760 --> 0:04:45.479 the mount first pitch of twelve ten and with more, 0:04:45.560 --> 0:04:47.600 we head out to the galloping Ford Broadcast booth as 0:04:47.600 --> 0:04:50.280 we welcome in Tim Nevertt and Rick Monday. Guys. 0:04:50.560 --> 0:04:52.880 Thank you very much, Tim, and good morning as we 0:04:52.960 --> 0:04:55.360 get ready for this early game here at Unico Field 0:04:55.400 --> 0:04:58.680 at Dodgers Stadium the Dodgers and the Tampa bay Rays. 0:04:58.839 --> 0:05:02.240 Game three of the three game sent the Dodgers a 0:05:02.320 --> 0:05:06.160 season best twenty games over five hundred, forty seven and 0:05:06.279 --> 0:05:09.680 twenty seven, and now are nine games in front of 0:05:09.720 --> 0:05:12.800 the San Diego Padres and the National League Western Division standings. 0:05:12.800 --> 0:05:15.760 That's their largest lead. In fact, it's the largest lead 0:05:15.839 --> 0:05:19.039 by any team in any division in baseball, and as 0:05:19.080 --> 0:05:22.360 of this morning, the Dodgers have more wins than anybody 0:05:22.720 --> 0:05:25.560 in Major League Baseball, one more than the Atlanta Braves. 0:05:26.240 --> 0:05:30.000 The Raised today will send left hander Shane McClanahan of 0:05:30.040 --> 0:05:32.560 the Mound. He's six and four with a three to 0:05:32.560 --> 0:05:35.760 two three earn run average. Shohei Otani will pitch, he 0:05:35.839 --> 0:05:38.960 will not hit. He will just be a one way player. Today. 0:05:39.000 --> 0:05:41.479 He is six and two with a major league best 0:05:41.800 --> 0:05:46.680 one point zero six earn run average. So today's starting pitcher, 0:05:46.720 --> 0:05:48.640 Mo was the guy that won the game at the 0:05:48.640 --> 0:05:51.480 plate last night with a sixth inning solo home run. 0:05:51.720 --> 0:05:55.120 He still amazes everybody, But Dave Roberts is not going 0:05:55.160 --> 0:05:58.080 to have him hit today with the short turnaround here 0:05:58.120 --> 0:05:58.680 for Game three. 0:05:58.880 --> 0:06:01.279 And I think part of it that too, is, you know, 0:06:01.600 --> 0:06:05.440 the recent leg issue. It's not something that's going to 0:06:05.480 --> 0:06:07.640 keep him out of the out of the lineup. But 0:06:07.880 --> 0:06:09.800 Dave Roberts is saying yesterday they are going to be 0:06:09.839 --> 0:06:14.200 watching him very closely here this afternoon. Perfect timing as 0:06:14.240 --> 0:06:17.520 far as last night's ball game. The Dodgers, again on 0:06:17.560 --> 0:06:19.720 the Otani home run went it by a score one 0:06:19.800 --> 0:06:22.560 to nothing. Tampa held to just three hits in ball game. 0:06:22.800 --> 0:06:25.440 Perfect timing indeed, with a day game at twelve ten 0:06:25.520 --> 0:06:28.599 today because that last night's game went just an hour 0:06:28.720 --> 0:06:31.039 and fifty two minutes, thank you very much. It was 0:06:31.080 --> 0:06:33.080 not extra endings and we were not here all night. 0:06:33.839 --> 0:06:36.599 Very good. It was the shortest game since the fourth 0:06:36.640 --> 0:06:40.640 of October nineteen ninety two against the Houston Astros. It's 0:06:40.680 --> 0:06:43.200 the shortest nine inning game. That game lasted an hour 0:06:43.240 --> 0:06:45.279 and forty four minutes. But we learned later that that 0:06:45.440 --> 0:06:49.000 was better an umpire Doug Harvey's final game, so that 0:06:49.040 --> 0:06:50.240 would explain the game time. 0:06:50.360 --> 0:06:53.760 And Doug went in and notified people, look, do not 0:06:53.920 --> 0:06:56.560 take a strike and it's going to be a liberal 0:06:57.080 --> 0:07:00.400 strikes on itself. A new look today also ten because 0:07:00.640 --> 0:07:03.400 last night Tommy Edmund was taking off the injured list, 0:07:03.480 --> 0:07:06.000 he was observing from the dugout. Well, he's going to 0:07:06.000 --> 0:07:08.839 be observing from third base today and he's going to 0:07:08.880 --> 0:07:10.760 be at the top of the order, the leadoff. 0:07:10.440 --> 0:07:12.840 Hitter, switch hitter, he'll beat right hand of the Dodgers, 0:07:12.840 --> 0:07:15.360 getting a number of right right handed hitters in the 0:07:15.400 --> 0:07:19.840 lineup here today month seward and obviously Otani not going 0:07:19.840 --> 0:07:21.760 to hit today, and part of the reason is that 0:07:21.880 --> 0:07:25.320 left handed hitters are hitting only one twenty five with 0:07:25.600 --> 0:07:30.320 zero home runs against Ray's starter Shane McClanahan. So the 0:07:30.360 --> 0:07:32.000 Dodger is trying to do the best they can with 0:07:32.000 --> 0:07:32.800 the right handed bats. 0:07:32.880 --> 0:07:34.760 Yeah, I'm trying to draw on that end of it, 0:07:35.360 --> 0:07:37.960 and for Tampa trying to get it into gear itself. 0:07:38.240 --> 0:07:40.040 You know, you look at the fact they had a 0:07:40.040 --> 0:07:43.000 five and a half game lead not that long ago, 0:07:43.080 --> 0:07:45.680 in fact three weeks ago on that end of it. 0:07:45.720 --> 0:07:48.280 But since that time, they've dropped now fourteen to last 0:07:48.320 --> 0:07:51.360 twenty one ball games, and they're starting today now two 0:07:51.440 --> 0:07:53.680 and a half behind the New York Yankees in America 0:07:53.720 --> 0:07:56.880 the Eastern Division. And for the Yankees, they're kind of 0:07:56.880 --> 0:07:59.480 going in a pretty strong stream right now because they 0:07:59.520 --> 0:08:02.120 won eight if the last ten, and for Tampa they 0:08:02.120 --> 0:08:04.160 would like nothing better than winning the final game. But 0:08:04.240 --> 0:08:05.520 this three game series, so. 0:08:05.440 --> 0:08:07.720 The Rays at forty one and twenty nine take on 0:08:07.800 --> 0:08:11.160 the Dodgers forty seven and twenty seven. The Dodgers have 0:08:11.240 --> 0:08:13.800 a chance for a three game sweep. They can get 0:08:13.800 --> 0:08:16.840 a victory behind show hey Otani here this afternoon. 0:08:16.880 --> 0:08:18.880 Tim all right, thank you guys, has been cutting down 0:08:18.920 --> 0:08:21.480 to first pitch.

Dodgers and the Tampa Bay Race, final game 0:12:37.720 --> 0:12:40.520 of this three game series. Dodgers going for the sweep. 0:12:40.640 --> 0:12:43.880 Marongo Casino Resort and Spa a grand slam for a 0:12:43.960 --> 0:12:46.520 good times show. Hey Otanio on the mound, first pitch 0:12:46.559 --> 0:12:47.959 coming up at twelve ten. 0:12:48.400 --> 0:12:53.280 This it's the LA Dodgers Injury Report. 0:12:53.080 --> 0:12:56.280 Presented by UCLA Healthy, official medical partner of the Los 0:12:56.320 --> 0:12:59.920 Angeles Dodgers. Will Smith on the IL with the neck inflammation. 0:13:00.040 --> 0:13:02.079 It doesn't sound like he is close to returning, and 0:13:02.200 --> 0:13:04.040 he's scheduled to come off the I e. L. So 0:13:04.160 --> 0:13:06.199 that's a bit of a setback. To Oscar Hernandez is 0:13:06.240 --> 0:13:08.959 feeling better with the left hamstring strain. He could be 0:13:09.000 --> 0:13:11.640 going out on a minor league rehab assignment here shortly 0:13:11.800 --> 0:13:14.160 more on that, hopefully with the manager Dave Roberts. Tyler 0:13:14.240 --> 0:13:17.360 glassnow not progressing with his lower back spasms. Blake Snell 0:13:17.640 --> 0:13:21.000 and Edwin Diaz are both throwing, So that is good. 0:13:21.520 --> 0:13:24.200 I don't know how far and how much, but they 0:13:24.240 --> 0:13:27.079 are doing baseball activities and begun a throwing program. So 0:13:27.400 --> 0:13:29.440 they are trending in the right direction. As his Brock 0:13:29.440 --> 0:13:31.360 Steward's on the I l with left bone spur in 0:13:31.440 --> 0:13:33.920 his foot, he is trending as a minor league rehab 0:13:33.960 --> 0:13:37.559 assignment continues for the Dodger reliever. All right, let's head 0:13:37.600 --> 0:13:39.760 back out to Uniclow Field, the Dodgers stadium and check 0:13:39.800 --> 0:13:40.640 in with the Dodgers skipper. 0:13:40.920 --> 0:13:44.000 Anything the questions for Dave Dave? 0:13:44.120 --> 0:13:45.920 Can you just describe Dave? 0:13:46.000 --> 0:13:47.800 Can you talk about the pressure. 0:13:48.280 --> 0:13:53.439 In the dugouts with Dave Roberts Dave, obviously at the 0:13:53.520 --> 0:13:56.520 times you know what's coming off the left, she asked. 0:13:58.000 --> 0:14:00.640 Other things that you're looking for, I mean, talking about 0:14:01.480 --> 0:14:03.520 any decision kind of playing. 0:14:03.880 --> 0:14:06.040 Is there anything that you will be able to read 0:14:06.200 --> 0:14:07.079 reaction to day? 0:14:08.800 --> 0:14:09.000 Yeah. 0:14:09.400 --> 0:14:11.160 I think for me, it's just kind of watching his 0:14:11.840 --> 0:14:17.160 mannerism's demeanor, the throw, you know, you know, how it's 0:14:17.200 --> 0:14:20.600 coming out, command all that stuff. I'll be you know, 0:14:20.840 --> 0:14:24.120 very in tune with But you know, as we sit 0:14:24.240 --> 0:14:28.440 here right now, he's ready to go. Feels good. So yeah, 0:14:28.520 --> 0:14:30.600 but we'll keep it, you know, keen eye on them. 0:14:30.880 --> 0:14:33.320 How much does that and that change. 0:14:33.520 --> 0:14:36.640 I don't think he's anything versatility, but even the. 0:14:36.680 --> 0:14:39.880 Top of the door, if you like today, it just 0:14:40.480 --> 0:14:45.040 you know, I'm excited. We're excited to have Tommy back. Certainly, 0:14:45.480 --> 0:14:48.600 you know, he's very good versus left handed pitching. H 0:14:48.880 --> 0:14:52.280 gives me the ability to keep guys in their rightful 0:14:52.360 --> 0:14:55.760 spots for now, and then just to plug him in 0:14:55.880 --> 0:14:58.720 and feel really good about him taking on a left hander. 0:15:00.040 --> 0:15:02.640 And then also the versatility, so you know, just knowing 0:15:02.680 --> 0:15:05.840 Tommy can can play anywhere essentially on the field, and 0:15:06.040 --> 0:15:09.400 just having him back is you know, we're all excited 0:15:09.400 --> 0:15:09.720 about that. 0:15:10.360 --> 0:15:13.360 I guess right he is. We're going to see him 0:15:13.560 --> 0:15:14.640 fitting into the lineup. 0:15:14.760 --> 0:15:16.840 He seem like kind of needing a second lead up 0:15:16.880 --> 0:15:17.360 there at. 0:15:17.240 --> 0:15:20.920 The bottom or d considered as a as. 0:15:20.840 --> 0:15:22.640 A two or or two and then the world now 0:15:23.240 --> 0:15:26.720 why yeah, no, I think for left handers, I see 0:15:26.760 --> 0:15:29.200 him more in the bottom just kind of taking it 0:15:29.320 --> 0:15:32.000 bats and being a second leadoff hitter in the eight 0:15:32.160 --> 0:15:36.880 or the nine. Obviously, you know, with a Freeland, you know, 0:15:37.520 --> 0:15:40.000 we'll see how it works out as far as matchups 0:15:40.080 --> 0:15:42.080 and things like that. But you know, as I said 0:15:42.200 --> 0:15:44.320 a couple of days ago, I think that I see 0:15:44.400 --> 0:15:47.880 Tommy playing, you know, three or four days a week 0:15:47.960 --> 0:15:49.480 right now, and we'll kind of see where we go 0:15:49.560 --> 0:15:49.840 from there. 0:15:50.080 --> 0:15:52.280 All Right, there's a manager, Dave Roberts, Tommy Edmond in 0:15:52.360 --> 0:15:55.920 the lineup, batting leadoff and playing third, Alex Freeland, who's 0:15:55.920 --> 0:15:58.880 he alluded to, batting ninth at second base. But again 0:15:58.920 --> 0:16:01.680 we'll see Tommy Edmond rotator around third base, second base, 0:16:01.760 --> 0:16:03.840 maybe a little bit of left field as well. But 0:16:03.960 --> 0:16:07.200 great to see number twenty five Tommy Tanks back with 0:16:07.360 --> 0:16:10.040 the Dodgers and healthy. We'll continue here.

I accept everybody 0:17:08.440 --> 0:17:11.719 for who they are. This is Dodger insider. 0:17:11.600 --> 0:17:15.200 David and dB now joins us live from the field. 0:17:15.320 --> 0:17:17.920 It's a twelve o'clock start out of Uniclo Field, the 0:17:18.040 --> 0:17:21.120 Dodgers status. The Dodgers go for the sweep and they've 0:17:21.160 --> 0:17:22.959 got the man who won it for him last night 0:17:23.040 --> 0:17:25.600 with the solo home run on the mound. Today in 0:17:25.760 --> 0:17:27.399 show Hey Otani, David. 0:17:27.920 --> 0:17:30.919 Yeah, and show he Otani was going to be watched 0:17:31.000 --> 0:17:33.920 very carefully today, Tim because of that left knee inflammation. 0:17:34.440 --> 0:17:37.399 As you heard Dave Roberts say earlier today, this is 0:17:37.520 --> 0:17:39.879 not behind him, but the Dodgers are going to have 0:17:40.040 --> 0:17:42.879 to manage it. And if you remember when the media 0:17:42.920 --> 0:17:45.680 spoke to Otani on the last road trip, he said 0:17:45.720 --> 0:17:48.560 this inflammation on his left knee came because he felt 0:17:48.680 --> 0:17:52.359 like his pitching mechanics caused it. So we'll see how 0:17:52.480 --> 0:17:56.400 that leftne reacts. It's a weight bearing knee because when 0:17:56.480 --> 0:18:00.480 he lands, all two hundred plus pounds of that is 0:18:00.560 --> 0:18:03.320 coming down on that left knee. So we'll see how 0:18:03.400 --> 0:18:07.080 long he lasts in this game. But certainly the Dodgers, 0:18:07.119 --> 0:18:10.600 the people I've spoken to and Dave Roberts have sounded 0:18:10.800 --> 0:18:13.760 very confident that he is ready to go and should 0:18:13.800 --> 0:18:16.280 not have any limitations with that left knee. 0:18:16.400 --> 0:18:17.919 David is brought to you by Ford Here for those 0:18:17.960 --> 0:18:20.920 who build America, especially those who believe that given everything today, 0:18:21.000 --> 0:18:23.600 we'll pay off tomorrow, those who will drive America forward 0:18:23.640 --> 0:18:25.480 for two hundred and fifty years to come. Right now, 0:18:25.600 --> 0:18:29.720 Ford is offering employee pricing to everybody American value.

You 0:18:36.000 --> 0:18:38.920 talked to Tommy Edmond last night on the pregame show, David. 0:18:39.160 --> 0:18:42.159 He's in the lineup today batting lead off and playing 0:18:42.280 --> 0:18:44.840 third base. How excited is he to just beat back 0:18:44.880 --> 0:18:46.560 out there playing finally. 0:18:47.160 --> 0:18:50.640 Yeah, very excited. And the biggest challenge, he told us yesterday, 0:18:50.760 --> 0:18:54.199 Tim was patience because it was a long road back 0:18:54.240 --> 0:18:57.240 for him having the surgery in December. I'm not having 0:18:57.280 --> 0:19:00.399 any setbacks, but the right ankle not really respond And 0:19:00.480 --> 0:19:03.560 he said the biggest mental hurdle for him to come 0:19:03.640 --> 0:19:06.159 back and know that he's ready to go today is 0:19:06.280 --> 0:19:09.440 running the bases, because if you remember last year, that's 0:19:09.480 --> 0:19:12.480 when he reaggravated that right ankle running the bases, and 0:19:12.600 --> 0:19:16.040 that's when that ankle was really hard to manage all 0:19:16.160 --> 0:19:18.840 year long. And if you remember, in Game seven of 0:19:18.920 --> 0:19:22.240 the World Series, Dave Roberts, because of the limitations of 0:19:22.320 --> 0:19:25.320
