He scattered 0:01:45.160 --> 0:01:48.559 just four hits along the way while striking out eight, 0:01:48.720 --> 0:01:51.920 walk just two, limited damage on the base pass through 0:01:51.920 --> 0:01:54.160 one hundred and five pitches, a season high. 0:01:54.240 --> 0:01:55.720 He was brilliant on the mound. 0:01:55.800 --> 0:01:58.520 He just needed the Dodgers offense to come along and 0:01:58.560 --> 0:02:01.160 score some run for him. Well, first couple of innings 0:02:01.200 --> 0:02:04.080 the Dodgers put up zeros, but then in the bottom 0:02:04.160 --> 0:02:06.440 of the third inning it was the bottom of the 0:02:06.600 --> 0:02:10.320 order getting them on the board thanks to Santiago Espinal. 0:02:10.280 --> 0:02:12.639 His first twenty games with the Dodgers, only thirty two 0:02:12.680 --> 0:02:17.359 at bats. He's sitting a buck eighty eight. The two 0:02:17.360 --> 0:02:21.880 one coming, and Espinal hits one hard to deep left field. 0:02:22.080 --> 0:02:26.120 Romo's at the wall, he jumps and it is gone. 0:02:27.840 --> 0:02:32.080 Espinall's first home run is a Dodger gives them a 0:02:32.160 --> 0:02:33.400 one nothing lead. 0:02:33.919 --> 0:02:37.920 Santiago Espinal goes deep. Dodgers up one to nothing. Lineup 0:02:37.919 --> 0:02:41.760 turned over to Mookie Betts. Very next batter, back to 0:02:41.840 --> 0:02:42.799 back jacks. 0:02:43.160 --> 0:02:46.239 The two one to bets. Now Bets smashes one to 0:02:46.360 --> 0:02:47.480 left field. 0:02:47.720 --> 0:02:55.359 Back to back with Bets. 0:02:55.360 --> 0:02:58.880 Good to see a move first home run off the 0:02:58.960 --> 0:03:04.600 injured lists of the season. Two nothing Dodgers in a blink. 0:03:05.400 --> 0:03:06.760 Back to back home runs. 0:03:06.760 --> 0:03:09.440 How about that the Dodgers with some instant offense there 0:03:09.480 --> 0:03:10.880 the third. That's the top tier play of the game, 0:03:10.919 --> 0:03:14.239 brought to by ARCO quality, top tier gas for less. 0:03:14.360 --> 0:03:17.000 Dodgers up two to nothing in the fourth, they would 0:03:17.080 --> 0:03:20.600 tack on two more tai Oscar Hernandez and RBI single 0:03:20.680 --> 0:03:23.400 to right scoring Kyle Tucker. Dodgers with a three to 0:03:23.400 --> 0:03:26.880 nothing lead, and then two batters later, Alex called with 0:03:26.880 --> 0:03:29.440 the sack fly to right, scoring ta Oscar and the 0:03:29.480 --> 0:03:33.040 Dodgers with a four spot, a four nothing lead that 0:03:33.160 --> 0:03:37.240 was more than enough for the showstopper show Hey O'tani, 0:03:37.320 --> 0:03:40.720 who stopped the losing streak got the Dodgers the victory 0:03:40.720 --> 0:03:42.760 as they go on and shut out in San Francisco 0:03:42.960 --> 0:03:46.800 last night, four to nothing show hey Otani with seven 0:03:46.840 --> 0:03:49.760 shutout innings, he picks up the win, his third of 0:03:49.840 --> 0:03:52.760 this season. Robbie Ray, who had pitched well against the 0:03:52.760 --> 0:03:55.320 Dodgers over the course of his career, he gets tagged 0:03:55.320 --> 0:03:57.520 with the loss. He pitched into the fifth inning, gave 0:03:57.600 --> 0:03:59.680 up the four runs on seven hits, including the back 0:03:59.720 --> 0:04:02.080 to back home runs. He falls to three and five 0:04:02.120 --> 0:04:05.800 on the season. The Dodgers now twenty five and eighteen overall. 0:04:05.880 --> 0:04:08.800 They are at a tie now with San Diego atop 0:04:08.880 --> 0:04:12.200 the NL West. More importantly, Dodgers looking to take care 0:04:12.200 --> 0:04:15.000 of business tonight and even up this four game series 0:04:15.160 --> 0:04:18.120 with the San Francisco Giants and finish off this homestand 0:04:18.120 --> 0:04:21.600 before heading out on a nine game road trip that 0:04:21.680 --> 0:04:23.000 begins over the weekend. 0:04:22.760 --> 0:04:24.760 With three in Anaheim. 0:04:24.560 --> 0:04:26.800 Im Shean on the mountain Tonight, first pitch of seven 0:04:26.839 --> 0:04:28.320 to ten, and with more we head out to the 0:04:28.279 --> 0:04:30.719 gallopin Ford Broadcast booth as we say hello to Tim 0:04:30.760 --> 0:04:32.000 Neffett and Rick Monday. 0:04:32.000 --> 0:04:34.000 Guys, Thanks very much, Tim. 0:04:34.040 --> 0:04:36.480 Beautiful evening for a ball game here at Uniclo Field 0:04:36.520 --> 0:04:40.040 at Dodgers Stadium, Dodgers and Giants wrapping up this four 0:04:40.120 --> 0:04:44.120 game set. The Dodgers right now tied with the Padres 0:04:44.160 --> 0:04:46.400 atop the Western Division. The p Andres losing to the 0:04:46.400 --> 0:04:50.200 Brewers earlier today twenty five and eighteen. The record Giants 0:04:50.240 --> 0:04:53.600 eighteen and twenty five, as they are seven and a 0:04:53.680 --> 0:04:56.080 half off the pace. The Giants have won four to 0:04:56.080 --> 0:04:59.159 the last six. The Dodgers have lost nine of the 0:04:59.240 --> 0:05:03.120 last fourteen and for the last six to San Francisco. 0:05:03.240 --> 0:05:06.600 The Giant's still struggling as a team overall, but for 0:05:06.680 --> 0:05:08.960 one reason or another, they have found the formula, at 0:05:09.040 --> 0:05:11.400 least at this point in the season, to have more 0:05:11.400 --> 0:05:14.280 wins than losses against the Dodgers. And she and two 0:05:14.360 --> 0:05:18.040 and one landon rope Roupe is five and three right handed, 0:05:18.040 --> 0:05:21.960 will go for San Francisco tonight and Ma last night, 0:05:22.040 --> 0:05:24.400 Mookie Bets gets back in the lineup hits a home run. 0:05:24.440 --> 0:05:26.680 He's not in the lineup tonight, Dave Roberts saying he 0:05:26.680 --> 0:05:28.680 wants to sort of ease him back in and not 0:05:28.800 --> 0:05:30.760 rush him. Just coming off the interview. 0:05:30.800 --> 0:05:32.880 Yeah, and I think a very wise thing to do. 0:05:32.920 --> 0:05:35.080 He's available to come off the bench. Yes, show Heyo 0:05:35.160 --> 0:05:37.479 Tani available to come off the bench too. Last night 0:05:37.880 --> 0:05:41.520 the winning pitcher going seven shutout innings. But I think 0:05:41.560 --> 0:05:44.120 overall this is a ball club now, Tim Hopefully the 0:05:44.279 --> 0:05:46.719 kind of turning the corner offense looked much better in 0:05:46.839 --> 0:05:48.760 last night's ball game. Yes, it helps when you have 0:05:48.800 --> 0:05:52.320 home runs, and Mookie Betts hit one of them. The 0:05:52.360 --> 0:05:55.840 other one was by Santiago Espinal. A little bit different 0:05:55.960 --> 0:05:59.280 lineup we're seeing in today's game, and especially at the 0:05:59.279 --> 0:06:00.000 top of the line. 0:06:00.520 --> 0:06:02.640 Well Smith has never let off a game in his 0:06:02.760 --> 0:06:05.760 major league career until tonight. He's going to be the 0:06:05.839 --> 0:06:08.640 leadoff hitter and the designated hitter, both he and Dalton 0:06:08.720 --> 0:06:11.080 Rushing and the lineup. Rushing will catch and hit seventh, 0:06:11.480 --> 0:06:13.080 and Kyle Tucker moves up the third. 0:06:13.200 --> 0:06:15.400 Yeah. And the other part too, is that Hasan Kim 0:06:15.440 --> 0:06:17.800 will get the start at second base. A shortstop is 0:06:17.839 --> 0:06:20.760 going to be Miguel Rojas, we're beginning to see now 0:06:20.839 --> 0:06:23.320 Ti Oscar Hernanuz kind of moving up the lineup a 0:06:23.360 --> 0:06:26.479 little bit more, a couple of hits in RBI last night, 0:06:26.839 --> 0:06:31.039 swinging the bat better, but he is still absent with 0:06:31.120 --> 0:06:33.800 the home run department. He's now gone twenty two consecutive 0:06:33.880 --> 0:06:36.800 games without hitting a home run. The Dodgers, rather than 0:06:36.839 --> 0:06:39.720 seeing him hit home runs, are just as happy to 0:06:39.760 --> 0:06:41.840 see him get base hits and get on base. 0:06:41.800 --> 0:06:44.679 And talking about looking a little more comfortable. Dave Roberts 0:06:44.760 --> 0:06:47.640 was asked about Kyle Tucker moving him up in the order. 0:06:48.000 --> 0:06:51.119 He says that Tucker looks more comfortable in the last 0:06:51.160 --> 0:06:54.440 week or so, but he's still not right. He said 0:06:54.440 --> 0:06:57.640 that he's not right to him, he said, Kyle says 0:06:57.640 --> 0:07:00.720 he's not quite right, and they don't believe he's where 0:07:00.720 --> 0:07:01.279 he needs to be. 0:07:01.440 --> 0:07:04.200 Just no, and I don't think he's far away from being. 0:07:04.279 --> 0:07:06.680 There was beginning to see some better match just as 0:07:06.720 --> 0:07:08.920 we were talking about, show hey Otani the last couple 0:07:08.960 --> 0:07:10.960 of games that he was actually in the lineup as 0:07:11.000 --> 0:07:13.720 a designated hitter. Yes, he hit the home run Otani 0:07:13.760 --> 0:07:16.840 did a few games ago, but he's having a sealed 0:07:16.840 --> 0:07:20.720 difficulty repeating the good swing one after the next, after 0:07:20.760 --> 0:07:23.640 the next, and Tucker's getting closer and closer himself. 0:07:24.040 --> 0:07:25.720 Well, when you look at the bench tonight, it's not 0:07:25.760 --> 0:07:28.440 often you have show Hey Otani and Mookie Betts available 0:07:28.480 --> 0:07:29.240 off the same bench. 0:07:29.440 --> 0:07:32.120 Yeah, and that's not a bad go to if it's 0:07:32.160 --> 0:07:35.080 going to be needed. And one thing that is needed 0:07:35.120 --> 0:07:38.040 another performance by Emmitt Shean, and I think we'd go 0:07:38.120 --> 0:07:39.840 back to what Dave Roberts has said in the past. 0:07:39.880 --> 0:07:41.680 We'll talk more about Shean a little bit later on, 0:07:41.800 --> 0:07:44.280 but trust your stuff and go right after him. 0:07:44.880 --> 0:07:45.320 He didn't. 0:07:45.320 --> 0:07:48.120 Went four and two thirds the last outing, allowed just 0:07:48.280 --> 0:07:51.280 one run on six hits, but it took him eighty 0:07:51.360 --> 0:07:54.920 eight pitches to even get two outs into the fifth inning. 0:07:55.480 --> 0:07:59.360 Dodgers and Giants, Game four, Dodgers trying to even this 0:07:59.520 --> 0:08:01.760 series at two wins a piece. 0:08:01.960 --> 0:08:03.160 Tim all right, thank you guys. 0:08:03.200 --> 0:08:05.280 As we coming down to first pitch, Dodger fans, get 0:08:05.280 --> 0:08:05.600 that game. 0:08:05.680 --> 0:08:06.320 Name me along. 0:08:06.400 --> 0:08:10.119 It's Shaky's Pizza Parlor, or to your Shaky's Pizza Chicken 0:08:10.200 --> 0:08:12.080 and Mojo's right now. 0:08:12.360 --> 0:08:13.680 At Shaky's dot com. 0:08:13.720 --> 0:08:16.720 I'm coming up here on Wrongo Casino.

But what does 0:10:37.400 --> 0:10:39.920 that swing tell you us to where their swing is 0:10:39.920 --> 0:10:41.760 at just right now and how you're feeling at the plate. 0:10:42.040 --> 0:10:42.760 I think we're close. 0:10:42.880 --> 0:10:44.920 I mean, you know this is only the third game, 0:10:45.040 --> 0:10:47.559 so you know, I gotta get myself, you know, four 0:10:47.640 --> 0:10:49.079 or five games to kind of try and get into 0:10:49.200 --> 0:10:53.000 some type of rhythm and so I at least means 0:10:53.040 --> 0:10:54.239 we're heading in the right direction. 0:10:54.240 --> 0:10:56.319 For the offense as a whole. Today, not only do 0:10:56.400 --> 0:10:58.040 we see the power, but we saw you guys just 0:10:58.120 --> 0:11:00.360 building innings. Is this where you guys are trying to 0:11:00.360 --> 0:11:01.720 get back to right now as a group. 0:11:02.080 --> 0:11:04.320 Yeah, I mean we still didn't score very many runs, 0:11:04.360 --> 0:11:07.800 but we we manufactured a couple of homers and built 0:11:07.840 --> 0:11:09.360 a couple of innings and score a couple of runs. 0:11:09.360 --> 0:11:12.440 So we're trying, you know, we're doing doing our best 0:11:12.480 --> 0:11:15.439 to make it work and eventually will break through. 0:11:15.640 --> 0:11:18.160 You guys, of course, had the support show. Hey Otani 0:11:18.280 --> 0:11:20.200 seven shutout innings.

Immage Sheen on the mound. First pitch 0:13:11.320 --> 0:13:12.720 set for seven ten. 0:13:14.160 --> 0:13:17.600 It's the La Dodgers Injury. 0:13:17.240 --> 0:13:20.440 Report presented by UCLA Healthy, official medical partner of the 0:13:20.440 --> 0:13:23.280 Los Angeles Dodgers. Brock Stewart on the IL with the 0:13:23.360 --> 0:13:26.240 left bone spur in his foot, Edwin Diaz on the IL, 0:13:26.320 --> 0:13:28.440 Tyler Glasstow on the IL, More on that coming up 0:13:28.480 --> 0:13:31.240 with David Vesse, Tommy Edmond on the sixty day IL, 0:13:31.360 --> 0:13:33.679 Kicky Hernandez on the sixty DAIL. But he is in 0:13:33.760 --> 0:13:36.839 Oklahoma City getting at bats and playing time in Triple A. 0:13:37.280 --> 0:13:41.160 Gavin Stone, Evan Phillips, Landonak also on the injured list. 0:13:41.200 --> 0:13:43.920 Bruce dar graderol speaking of Triple A, making his way 0:13:43.960 --> 0:13:47.000 back from a shoulder inflammation and fatigue that he really 0:13:47.040 --> 0:13:49.800 suffered through all of last year. He is progressing and 0:13:49.920 --> 0:13:52.800 hoping to be with the Dodgers very very soon. Let's 0:13:52.800 --> 0:13:54.640 head back out to the Dodgers Stadium and check in 0:13:54.720 --> 0:13:55.280 with the Dodgers. 0:13:55.320 --> 0:14:00.960 Gepper, any questions for Dave Dave? Can you just, dude, 0:14:00.960 --> 0:14:04.520 can you talk about the pressure in the dugouts with 0:14:04.679 --> 0:14:05.760 Dave Roberts. 0:14:06.240 --> 0:14:08.440 I think with Will it was just I just feel 0:14:08.440 --> 0:14:14.000 he's unflappable. You know, whatever position he's in, you put 0:14:14.080 --> 0:14:18.160 him in, he responds, and so I just felt that, 0:14:19.160 --> 0:14:21.160 you know, giving him an opportunity to get five at 0:14:21.160 --> 0:14:25.640 bats kind of leaving the other guys in their rightful 0:14:25.680 --> 0:14:29.280 spots made the most sense and I just trust them, 0:14:29.320 --> 0:14:31.280 So I felt like it was an easy thing for 0:14:31.360 --> 0:14:31.960 him to handle. 0:14:32.760 --> 0:14:34.640 Kind of looking at. 0:14:34.480 --> 0:14:36.480 The lineup right now, I know show he's the lead 0:14:36.480 --> 0:14:38.720 off hitter, But is it kind of fun just creating 0:14:38.720 --> 0:14:40.480 these different situations that you have for. 0:14:40.480 --> 0:14:42.160 These other players and getting them. 0:14:42.080 --> 0:14:45.000 In spots where it potentially could be an option down 0:14:45.000 --> 0:14:45.560 the line, or. 0:14:45.560 --> 0:14:46.920 Seeing what things could look playing for you. 0:14:47.400 --> 0:14:49.200 Yeah, I think so, because I think that you know, 0:14:49.840 --> 0:14:53.280 you know, one school of thought is you hit everyone 0:14:53.320 --> 0:14:56.120 in the same spot in the order every day and 0:14:56.280 --> 0:15:00.120 they get comfortable and kind of understand their role in 0:15:00.120 --> 0:15:03.120 the lineup. And the other school of thought is to 0:15:03.200 --> 0:15:07.000 have a little bit of flexibility to give you the 0:15:07.000 --> 0:15:10.840 best chance to win that particular night, and that's based 0:15:10.880 --> 0:15:14.720 on the starting pitcher, their bullpen, and the combo of 0:15:14.760 --> 0:15:17.560 that is the best because you don't want to be 0:15:17.640 --> 0:15:20.560 too kind of obnoxious and because there is a feel 0:15:20.640 --> 0:15:22.600 part of the lineup and where you're hitting the order. 0:15:22.680 --> 0:15:26.200 But I think that there's a competitive advantage as well 0:15:26.280 --> 0:15:28.080 if you can structure and you have guys that are 0:15:28.120 --> 0:15:30.000 open to that flexibility. 0:15:30.040 --> 0:15:32.840 Unfortunately that we have that all right, there's the manager 0:15:32.920 --> 0:15:35.080 Dave Roberts talking about the lineup, which, yeah, looks a 0:15:35.080 --> 0:15:38.080 little different with no Mookie Betts, no show. Heyltani and 0:15:38.120 --> 0:15:41.000 Will Smith. You're designated it or leading off tonight. But 0:15:41.360 --> 0:15:43.280 shaking things up, as he said, could be a good 0:15:43.280 --> 0:15:44.400 thing for this Dodgers team. 0:15:44.400 --> 0:15:45.280 When we continue here. 0:15:45.160 --> 0:15:47.160 On rog because you know, Dodgers on deck, we will 0:15:47.240 --> 0:15:50.200 check in with the David Vatze, who you'll also be 0:15:50.200 --> 0:15:53.080 able to see Sports Net LA tonight, looking all sharp 0:15:53.080 --> 0:15:55.000 in his suit. As we lead you up to first pitch, 0:15:55.320 --> 0:15:58.520 Dodgers and Giants on this Star Wars night. First pitch 0:15:58.560 --> 0:16:00.280 of you to a glow field the Dodgers dat except 0:16:00.320 --> 0:16:02.080 for seven ten.

Dodgers Baseball's brought 0:16:36.520 --> 0:16:39.400 you by Al Pato, born in La and made for 0:16:39.440 --> 0:16:44.000 your game day.

This is Dodger insider David Basse. 0:17:00.000 --> 0:17:01.760 All right, David, here we are final game of this 0:17:01.800 --> 0:17:04.679 four game set. Go back to last night, though, show 0:17:04.760 --> 0:17:09.080 Hey o Tani. What a performance he put on the mound, right. 0:17:09.760 --> 0:17:12.359 Yeah, you know, Rick Monday and I talked about it 0:17:12.840 --> 0:17:14.800 last night and we're going to talk about it again 0:17:14.920 --> 0:17:18.280 later this afternoon. Just how amazing he was and how 0:17:18.320 --> 0:17:20.960 he was an ace and something that I saw after 0:17:21.000 --> 0:17:24.800 the game last night. He's now one of ten pitchers 0:17:24.880 --> 0:17:29.000 in baseball history through his first seven starts seven games 0:17:29.000 --> 0:17:32.479 where he has five strikeouts and a sub one eer. 0:17:33.359 --> 0:17:36.400 For of those pitchers on that list of ten won 0:17:36.480 --> 0:17:41.199 the Cy Young, including Rick's former teammate Fernando Vevenezuela. So 0:17:41.520 --> 0:17:44.199 you know, show Hey has made it very clear he 0:17:44.320 --> 0:17:46.920 is very focused on pitching. He would love to win 0:17:47.000 --> 0:17:49.199 the Cy Young Award and help his team win as 0:17:49.280 --> 0:17:51.880 many games when he's on the mound, and it's hard 0:17:51.880 --> 0:17:54.399 to argue right now that he isn't the best pitcher 0:17:54.400 --> 0:17:55.600 in baseball. 0:17:55.200 --> 0:17:55.560 No doubt. 0:17:55.600 --> 0:17:57.400 David has brought to you by the Fort Maverick Motor 0:17:57.400 --> 0:18:01.280 Trends in the North American Truck of the Year. Everything 0:18:01.320 --> 0:18:03.560 you need in the most innovative truck with forty two 0:18:03.560 --> 0:18:06.200 miles per gallon at the best MSRP. If it's category, 0:18:06.240 --> 0:18:08.399 it's time to see Ford in a new light. Go 0:18:08.440 --> 0:18:11.600 to your Southern California. Have four dealers today? All right, David, 0:18:11.720 --> 0:18:15.639 what do the Dodgers need more Otani the hitter or 0:18:15.680 --> 0:18:16.880 Otani the pitcher. 0:18:17.920 --> 0:18:20.840 Yeah, that's a great question, right because the Dodgers have 0:18:20.960 --> 0:18:24.720 had injuries and key injuries to starters right now. Tyler 0:18:24.760 --> 0:18:28.280 glassnow is on the IL. River Ryan, who the Dodgers 0:18:28.280 --> 0:18:30.639 were looking to as some depth in the minor leagues, 0:18:30.640 --> 0:18:33.640 has been on the IL with a hamstring injury. He's 0:18:33.640 --> 0:18:35.879 coming back for the first time in a month to 0:18:35.960 --> 0:18:39.960 pitch for Oklahoma City. And Blake Snell has been on 0:18:40.040 --> 0:18:43.239 the IL up until his last starts. So you know, 0:18:43.320 --> 0:18:46.560 you can make an argument for both Otani the pitcher 0:18:46.640 --> 0:18:49.440 and Otani the hitter but the reality is the Dodgers 0:18:49.480 --> 0:18:53.360 play every day and Otani, the dh plays every day, 0:18:53.480 --> 0:18:56.399 so you could say, no matter how great he is, 0:18:56.480 --> 0:18:59.600
