Eight sixty six ninety eighty seven 0:01:07.160 --> 0:01:08.720 two five seventy is. 0:01:08.760 --> 0:01:11.240 The Dodgers won the series opener. 0:01:10.959 --> 0:01:15.120 On Friday night in the cold, freezing temperatures of the 0:01:15.200 --> 0:01:19.800 mile highest city. They lost Saturday, they lost Sunday, and 0:01:19.880 --> 0:01:22.479 tonight they got a much needed win to get these 0:01:22.880 --> 0:01:26.160 series split with the Colorado Rockies, a game of which 0:01:26.200 --> 0:01:29.000 a couple of things stood out, certainly the news before 0:01:29.040 --> 0:01:31.040 the game, which we're gonna get to in Edwin Diaz 0:01:31.280 --> 0:01:34.640 is a bummer for the Dodgers, but some positives between 0:01:34.680 --> 0:01:41.640 the Lions. Justin Robleski, goodness, gracious Justin Robleski tonight, improving 0:01:41.680 --> 0:01:44.360 to three and zero them this season. Seven innings, he 0:01:44.440 --> 0:01:46.760 allowed one run on eight hits. And if you're like 0:01:46.840 --> 0:01:50.360 me and Coliny sitting here in the studio, a leadoff, double, 0:01:50.680 --> 0:01:55.840 second battery faces Brenton Doyle, double nobody out, two batters faced, 0:01:55.880 --> 0:02:00.640 and it's a one nothing Rockies leading. You're thinking, no, no, 0:02:01.160 --> 0:02:03.760 this can't happen to Justin Robleski's been too good for 0:02:03.840 --> 0:02:04.520 the Dodgers. 0:02:05.080 --> 0:02:05.920 Well, what does he do? 0:02:06.520 --> 0:02:09.480 Settles in, gets an out, gets a feeler's choice, gets 0:02:09.480 --> 0:02:12.320 a ground ball out in all only thirteen pitches, a 0:02:12.400 --> 0:02:14.480 run up on the board, and that was it. He 0:02:14.639 --> 0:02:18.680 settled in and what I thought was so perfect for 0:02:18.880 --> 0:02:22.520 Justin Robleski was his command. And his command led to 0:02:22.680 --> 0:02:26.320 zero walks and seventy two of his ninety seven pitches 0:02:26.760 --> 0:02:27.840 being strikes tonight. 0:02:28.520 --> 0:02:30.839 When you're in the zone, getting. 0:02:30.600 --> 0:02:35.280 Contact, getting out and not walking dudes and putting them 0:02:35.320 --> 0:02:40.160 on base, generally good things happen in the game of baseball. 0:02:40.200 --> 0:02:41.440 Yeah, sometimes they don't. 0:02:41.480 --> 0:02:44.760 But for the most part, you throw strikes, you let 0:02:44.760 --> 0:02:47.520 the batters put the ball in play, the defense will 0:02:47.560 --> 0:02:50.560 make plays for you, and good things will happen. That's 0:02:50.600 --> 0:02:53.760 what happened for Justin Robleski tonight. And then his offense 0:02:53.800 --> 0:02:57.079 went to work the long ball tonight from Max Monty, 0:02:57.160 --> 0:03:01.160 Miguel Rojas, Dalton Rushing five buying home runs to a 0:03:01.240 --> 0:03:05.639 piece from Max Munsey and Dalton Rushing, and the Dodgers 0:03:05.680 --> 0:03:09.560 scored twelve runs on fifteen hits. When I told you 0:03:10.400 --> 0:03:13.400 the Dodgers would squell score twelve runs on fifteen hits 0:03:13.800 --> 0:03:19.560 without a doubt, you're thinking, Okay, cool, Otani, Betts, Freeman, Munsey, 0:03:19.600 --> 0:03:23.840 Will Smith, Kyle Tucker, all these dudes in the lineup 0:03:23.960 --> 0:03:26.079 right against the best line up in baseball. 0:03:26.880 --> 0:03:27.440 Not tonight. 0:03:28.000 --> 0:03:30.519 Betts is heard on the injured list going to Laker games, 0:03:31.040 --> 0:03:36.480 Freddie Freeman paternity list, Kyle Tucker. 0:03:37.080 --> 0:03:38.560 Scheduled night off. 0:03:39.960 --> 0:03:43.880 So you saw Santiago Espinall in the lineup, Miguel Rojas 0:03:43.880 --> 0:03:47.160 in the lineup, and Alice Called batting second and playing 0:03:47.200 --> 0:03:52.960 right field. Okay, not your traditional Dodgers lineup. Alice call 0:03:53.120 --> 0:03:57.240 on base twice, scored a run, Espinall two for four tonight, 0:03:57.640 --> 0:04:01.080 Dalton rushing a pair of home runs, drives in three. 0:04:03.240 --> 0:04:06.160 I mean, the Dodgers tonight got exactly what they needed. 0:04:06.880 --> 0:04:09.920 Plenty of offense and a really good outing from Justin 0:04:09.960 --> 0:04:13.240 Robleski and a twelve to three win over the Colorado Rockies. 0:04:13.240 --> 0:04:15.920 And a couple of milestones that will touch on quickly. 0:04:16.040 --> 0:04:20.120 Show Heyotani on bay streak reaches fifty two straight games. 0:04:20.440 --> 0:04:23.200 It is ridiculous what this guy is doing from the 0:04:23.320 --> 0:04:27.240 end of August last year to the beginning of this season. Now, 0:04:27.279 --> 0:04:30.160 on April twentieth, we're almost a month into this season 0:04:30.760 --> 0:04:33.920 and shoe Heyotani has an on base streak of fifty 0:04:33.960 --> 0:04:37.040 two straight games, longest active streak in Major League Baseball. 0:04:37.200 --> 0:04:39.800 And if he can reach base tomorrow night in San 0:04:39.839 --> 0:04:44.559 Francisco against the Stinking Giants. He will tie Sean Green 0:04:45.000 --> 0:04:49.000 for the second longest streak in Dodgers' franchise history. 0:04:49.040 --> 0:04:50.760 Pretty cool stuff we're watching. 0:04:51.120 --> 0:04:54.320 Just when you think sho Heyotani has done it all 0:04:54.360 --> 0:04:58.200 and you've seen it all from the Unicorn, then he 0:04:58.240 --> 0:05:02.600 does something like this. He's still chasing Asy Young and 0:05:03.320 --> 0:05:07.400 you watch out. That could happen this year. Miguel Rojas 0:05:07.440 --> 0:05:09.840 the home run, then in the fourth inning a single. 0:05:10.480 --> 0:05:17.160 Congratulations Mickey rowe hit number one thousand of his career, 0:05:18.440 --> 0:05:21.680 and he does own a cool way the same ballpark 0:05:21.760 --> 0:05:25.520 he got his first ever big league hit back on 0:05:25.640 --> 0:05:29.360 June eighth, twenty fourteen, his second game in the big 0:05:29.480 --> 0:05:32.960 leagues with the Dodgers. He gets a base hit then, 0:05:33.440 --> 0:05:36.159 and tonight he gets a base hit at coors Field, 0:05:36.839 --> 0:05:38.480 number one thousand. 0:05:38.520 --> 0:05:39.200 Of his career. 0:05:39.240 --> 0:05:42.719 What just a real full circle moment, if you will, 0:05:43.160 --> 0:05:47.479 for Miguel Rojas getting his one thousands career hit and 0:05:47.560 --> 0:05:50.400 the Dodgers again tonight. Five home runs, two from Max Muntzi, 0:05:50.480 --> 0:05:54.240 two from Dalton rushing pound the Rockies. What a night 0:05:54.360 --> 0:05:57.680 for the good guys. The Dodgers had twelve runs on 0:05:57.760 --> 0:05:59.599 fifteen hits and a lineup. 0:05:59.320 --> 0:06:02.159 That had no no Bets, no Freeman, no Kyle Tucker. 0:06:02.160 --> 0:06:02.839 Are you kidding me? 0:06:03.839 --> 0:06:06.880 They're now sixteen and six on this season, and oh yeah. 0:06:07.200 --> 0:06:11.320 The way they scored their runs tonight, real quick. Five 0:06:11.360 --> 0:06:14.520 home runs, so they used the long ball. He had 0:06:14.560 --> 0:06:18.240 an RBI single mixed in there from Taoscar Hernandez in 0:06:18.240 --> 0:06:22.040 the eighth inning. The rest of the Dodgers runs came 0:06:22.160 --> 0:06:28.040 via a back, a bases loaded walk, an air on 0:06:28.160 --> 0:06:32.679 Kyle Carros, a sack bunt from Miguel Rojas that scored 0:06:32.680 --> 0:06:36.559 a run, and a double play that was hit into 0:06:36.560 --> 0:06:39.760 by ta Oscar Hernandez with the bases loaded that scored 0:06:39.800 --> 0:06:40.200 a run. 0:06:41.480 --> 0:06:45.560 Colinye and I were sitting here thinking about it. You 0:06:45.600 --> 0:06:46.280 don't see this. 0:06:46.360 --> 0:06:50.440 Very often outside of a triple of a double. Was 0:06:50.440 --> 0:06:53.039 there another way they could have scored? I don't think so. 0:06:53.360 --> 0:06:56.039 I mean, catcher's interference would have been an air on 0:06:56.120 --> 0:06:59.719 the catcher. You had to run, score via an air 0:07:00.080 --> 0:07:03.080 hit by pitch, maybe y at Kanya, a basis loaded 0:07:03.160 --> 0:07:05.440 hit by pitch. I guess there is three ways they 0:07:05.440 --> 0:07:08.320 could have scored other than the ways they scored tonight. 0:07:08.480 --> 0:07:09.960 You don't see that very often. 0:07:10.640 --> 0:07:13.720 Run scored on a bock basis loaded walk, an air sackpunt, 0:07:13.720 --> 0:07:15.360 and a double play that scores a round the base 0:07:15.400 --> 0:07:21.320 is loaded, I mean sackfly. Okay, four all right, Still 0:07:21.320 --> 0:07:25.000 pretty impressive to see all the ways the Dodgers scored tonight. 0:07:25.200 --> 0:07:28.480 They're twelve runs on fifteen hits on their way to 0:07:28.560 --> 0:07:32.440 a win over the Colorado Rockies.
