broadcasting live from Chase Field of Downtown Phoenix it is once again time for Arizona Diamondback baseball and this afternoon the Diamondbacks and the Los Angeles Dodgers get ready for the final matchup of the the regular season with the season tiebreaker on the line good afternoon everybody Welcome inside the GRE schy radio Booth my name is Chris G yolam joined alongside longtime major league pitcher Tom candotti we're also joined by Steve zinsmeister Leo Gil Martin our producer engineer and Ali narini our technical director CNY the teaser right there for you these two teams have played 12 times six and six wins and losses you go into this one if the Diamondbacks win they just have to tie the Dodgers at the end of the season if they lose this one they'll have dropped three of four and they'll have to surpass La by the time we finish 162 yeah this has been a really exciting series as far as the the Diamondbacks go unfortunately they've lost two of the three so far hopefully you win this game and you split it but you know the games have been exciting you know the offense has really showed up I think you've learned some things also some matchups that might help you out later on with uh how you're going to get Otani out how you going to get tiosa Hernandez out and it looks like you know you found some answers to those two guys and how to pitch those so you know that's gone really well this game is is going to be a tough one cuz FL is a really good pitcher you got rrod struggled his last game only really one inning against the Mets where he struggled but he's been throwing the ball so you know this is going to be an interesting game to see how he matches up against this team just in case yeah and specifically with the tiebreaker of course talking about winning the division this is not just for playoff implications but to your point it seems like the winner of each game game in this series you can look back to the beginning and you can look at the performance of the starting pitcher Diamondbacks did not great get great starting efforts from gallon and Kelly they got a really good one from Brandon fought in the game yesterday Justin reesy really struggled for LA and now the Dodgers are looking to a little bit of stability for a guy who's been one of the shortest tenear Dodgers on this roster like you mentioned in FL he's only made five starts but his last time out he suffered his first loss we already saw we do not mess up your name we PR we ourselves here on MLB Central right right on getting them right we have a little game for you are

Suarez gor and Pomo and candy on the mound for the Diamondbacks 31-year-old left-hander Eduardo Rodriguez Eduardo Rus is really thrown throwing the ball well for the Dbacks you know he's two and 0 the team has lost one of the games that he started yet Ian he's really been been efficient and he's getting better with his command he's going to throw a lot of for seamers and Cutters inside the righties and really work that good change up away to lefties he's going to probably cut the ball a little bit more try to work on the outside part of the plate but it also throw the two seamer to keep them honest enough inside basketball averages about 92 the four seamer 91 the two seamer really gets to his change up throws out about 25% of the time and the key lefties this year are 0 for 14 against them our first pitch time at temperature reports are brought to you by y refi invest in America's future go to invest y rei.com no surprise to tell you it is a warm one here in the desert the roof is closed the panels are closed it is 102° outside it is 76° inside the building clear skies and here is shoi Otani ready to lead off this finale and the final regular season match up between these two evenly matched [Applause] sides our home played umpire Ramon deasus Jr a point to Rodriguez and the left-handers ready first pitch of the ball game on its way and Otani will take low ball one first pitch at 110 this afternoon dibs really did a nice job against Otani yesterday kept them off the bases one ball no strikes to count Rodriguez winds and fires and he misses outside for ball two two balls no strikes utani in his career Two for 11 with one home run against Rod of course those are coming from the really the American League days two- pitch and there's a strike that'll make it two and one and speaking of Otani in the American League days a trip back to Anaheim for the first time since joining the Dodgers is right around the corner probably be a packed house here's a 2-1 swung on line drive base it into right field got himself into a hit or count sitting on a fast ball and he smoked it into right lead off man on for Muk Betts well that one was 117 miles an hour that was a line shot and luckily that didn't have any elevation to it so one on for mooki Betts remember first two games of this series the Dodgers put up big run total in the first couple of innings against gallon it was two against Kelly it was three in the first inning respectively one on nobody out big lead at first and the pitch from Rodriguez swung on excuse me swung on and missed by bets and the count is 0 and one starts him off with a change up and a good one too down and Away mooki pretty aggressive with that swing keep in mind bets Freeman Hernandez only had a couple of it bats in the game yesterday before they lifted tck scored eight runs in the second as now the fast ball from Rodriguez a tad outside and that even count at one and one muki's only had 10 at bats in this four game series two for 10 with a homer two RBIs and walk here comes the 1-1 pitch T Holts and there's a line drive foul wasn't hit all that hard tried to go to the first base side and the count now at one and two of course these two guys were teammates back in the Boston days world champions together in 2018 Rodriguez ready and the left-handers one two offering swung on and fouled away and they could have candy been teammates in the Dodgers there was a trade agreed between Detroit and Los Angeles last year but at the last moment Rodriguez who had 10 teams on his no trade clause the Dodgers being one of them invoked the no trade clause right after a deal had come together now the onew pitch weekly grounded to Second gor has it quick flip to Pomo for one throw to first it is in time double play wonderfully turned 4 63 well what a great pitch to start this off I mean just a just kind of f did this change up away a three Hopper Gorman to puroma who was on the Move quick throw to first base and well that was bang Bang there but what a great athletic play by Pomo oh my goodness the way he just kicked the second base bag while running in stride if gor who was close to Second takes it to the back himself no chance you turn it oh that's so good now two outs nobody on for Freeman and the first pitch he flinches but takes a slider for a called strike and to count o and one that superb defense for the Diamondbacks they will always bring you back when an inning starts to turn as another slider from Rodriguez this time misses the outside corner and the count is even at one ball and one strike just underway top of the first two outs and the one-1 pitch is in the dirt two balls one strike Freeman a little bit better than Muki in this series he's four for 12 he's got two homers and five RB's he's been hitting the ball hard and remember this is coming after you know sitting out for a while it sure was two- on outside ball three three balls in strike on Deck teoscar Hernandez Rodriguez sets up on the third base side of the rubber the left-hander into his windup and the 3-1 to Freeman is is outside ball four two out walk well so far now this year he's only given up one hit to a left-handed hitter which was Otani and after he's been erased that was a walk to Freeman the third time he's only walked a left-handed hitter it'll bring up to Oscar Hernandez huge gap on the right side of the infield and and the pitch is high missed his Target actually might have been in the strike zone but del Castillo kind of flailed to catch it and it's going to be a one0 count I think this is going to be the key matchup for rrod Hernandez with good numbers against him in his career eight for 21 with three diggers and now Rodriguez missing down low so he has missed with five of the last six pitches he's thrown 16 pitches in this start nine of them have been out of the strike zone yeah and I believe he's trying to be careful with T Oscar here T Oscar has done some damage against them 2-0 swung on it off the end of the bat out into shallow right field nobody's going to reach it oh a diving effort by goret Falls Hernandez into second the throw goes home and that will be a very fortunate double Carol was playing back and deep in right field the shift was on with gor close to the second base bag and that ball landed just inside the right field line for a two out two base hit gy with a tremendous he gave it everything the dive everything and Carol right there to kind of back him up and got the ball in quickly otherwise with two outs and Freeman that was on first base he had to stay at third base and not score here is Will Smith so just as quickly as the double play cleaned the bases two batters later two in scoring position for the Dodgers and the first one to Smith is outside ball one not a ton of first pitch strikes here from Rodriguez at this top of the first inning does have an open base to work with Tommy Edmond on Deck 1 oh that is in there for a strike and it will even things up at one and one a day off yesterday for Will Smith doesn't have very many of those today is his 101st start behind the play for the Dodgers as the 1-1 is an excuse me Swinging Miss mind you this is game number 138 for both of these teams only 37 times this season Will Smith not in the starting lineup that's really remarkable for a catcher he and JT real Muto the one-w pitch oh my goodness a defensive swing that fast ball was headed towards his shoulder rather than get out of the way he used the Bat as a shield and it broke the bat it did well that's how Rod likes to pitch the righties he likes to crowd them inside before going away with the change up down and [Music] away one ball two strikes a lengthy top of the first inning for Rodriguez the next one will be his 22nd pitch still has a chance to put a zero on the board we know how important that's been in this series The Lefty winds and is onew inside again two balls and and two strikes to count another excellent pitch keeping him from diving land to change up here should be able to get something off the end of the bat here comes the 22 now reached four fouled away to the right change up good one yeah perfect pitch down and away like you said you do have first base available even if it cost you extra pitches don't have to Groove definitely don't Groove two two swung on Jam shot pop up to First Bell makes a sliding effort but can't reach it boy that's two balls the Dodgers have hit to the right side just out of the reach of an infielder's glove you know and the reason being honestly when you look at the two balls that are hit like that from right-handed hitters they're going out looking for the change up away so the fast ball is a good pitch to them right now cuz it is coming in hard on their hands another two two pitch and another swing and a foul fast ball inside look Rodriguez the stuff he has not a ton of swing and Miss it's going to be more based off of soft contact so it's not surprising this battle is perhaps lasting as long as it has the 2 two in the dirt it'll fill up the count now three balls and and two strikes and Rodriguez is a veteran he knows exactly what the situation is you don't have to be told that there's an open base he knows how to maneuver through this these kind of situations got a fresh Bullpen if you're the Diamondbacks don't need seven Innings don't need a hero here in this finale just need zeros here comes a 3-2 and Smith swings and misses he struck him out with a fast ball and the inning comes to an end no runs couple of hits couple of men left on base we go to the bottom of [Applause] [Music] raphaela with a Fly ball to right field tagging up it'll be oshida he will Scamper in to score and there's a shot down the line he hooks that one all the way to the track theyy have a day seon double it clears them and that ball is out of here what a day for SE on Rafaela there's a drive that one sucked dobeck will score four seven RBI for San rafhaela triio struck out his last time up turo deep Right Center back it goes and gone first big league Homer for Jackson chrio using the big part of the field and where does he hit it to the opposite field right I mean that is impressive for a young kid like that number one for Cheerio got to love it well he's a good one he's going to be good for a long time here's the guy that brings more o and eyes than e e e e betting on himself now the 22 and McCarthy lines a base hit in the right field as we said McCarthy is one of the guys that has good numbers against him he went down and got this breaking ball and stayed with it hit a soft line drive to right field one on one out that brings Jack Peters into the plate Clarity having a good season with the Tigers was picked up with the trade deadline by these very Dodgers the Dodgers sent over Tyron Lon and a short stop by the name of Trey Sweeney back to Detroit as this pitch to jock is off the plate ball one and here we are now he is considered a one of the more reliable guys in an often injured rotation we saw the flux of young guys coming in like Justin reesi the ball game yesterday as now the 1 is swung on and hit sharply to the right side picked up by Taylor he'll throw to second to get one throw to first that is in time both teams after 3 days of flexing the offense are showing off their stout defenses wonderful [Music] [Music] he can put it on a te he's so strong with his hands he's got a great Foundation look how Loosey Goosey junior he is with his hands right there's a absolute launch big big number being put up by T Oscar Hernandez and the Dodgers 14 good for him 14 it's a big number guys that's the one Oscar and this is your 2024 Home Run Derby champ here's the payoff and a swing and that Ball's well struck deep out to right center and on the chase that one just off the wall and that is in a big time trouble spot lford into third they'll wave him here he comes there's the first big wiing Homer for Wyatt lford and what a way to get [Applause] [Music] it and it literally was just a century of work it's a 2023 World Series rematch as the Texas Rangers visit Chase Field for a two- game series starting September 10th get your tickets today at dbacks.com [Music] deback Skipper Tory lell talks with Burns and gambo afternoons at 2:30 on Arizona Sports 987 in the Arizona Sports app it is the top of the second and the switch hitting Tommy Edmond will lead off for the Dodgers no score 27 pitches in that first inning for Rodriguez and his first one on the way to Edmond is Tomahawk foul no balls in a strike fair to say he was sitting on a for seamer got a cutter instead and that two three miles an hour velocity difference the difference yank and foul that's an easy way to pick up a strike now the 01 is off the plate away I mean what rrod does out there is I mean it's it's no mystery at all hitters know it he knows everyone knows it but he executes outside for ball two he goes in and out he goes in and he goes out particularly against the righties yeah and you brought up a great point at the top of the first inning it was the 2-1 pitch swung on and fought off out of play the moment rrod notices a hitter particularly a righty trying to get something on the outside part of the plate really extending those arms that's when he is going to buzz a fast ball inside and make him show some really be honest essentially is what it is yeah that's exactly how he pitched Smith I mean just jammed him in there then finally struck him out the lefties two two pitch and edman swings it's a little fly into left center field coming in is McCarthy he'll call off paven Smith to make the catch and a good start in this inning one up and one down always good to get that first guy out get you off to a good inning in the bottom of the first McCarthy had our first hit of the game presented by New Vision autog Glass New Vision at the Arizona Diamondbacks Foundation are teaming up to donate funds to Veterans with every hit this season as part of the hits for Heroes program now Miguel Roos will take inside for ball one Roos has at an excellent Series against the Diamondbacks three for 10 with a double two runs scored and RBI is now it is a 20 count tried the change up with mist the line of the the 20- Roos looks at a called strike good cutter that time that's a perfect pitch back door cutter Roos checking with the play ire making sure that he saw what he called 21 right off the end of the bad foul it's two and [Music] two not quite a Full Slate of games today only 11 games going on on this Labor Day but the three top dogs in the National League West are going obviously head-to-head LA and Arizona and San Diego in Detroit as that pitch is downstairs for ball two this game will finish before the Tigers and Padres get underway I mention all that because both San Diego and Arizona enterplay five games behind the first place Dodgers and the Dbacks lead San Diego in the Wild Card by a mere percentage point now the 3-2 pitch swung on Grounded to short backhanded by Pomo sets his feet and throws to Bell in time two outs and that'll bring up third baseman Kik Hernandez kind of looks like irod is settling in right now I mean 37 pitches into it but you know he made some good pitches to Edmond that was a good pitch there to Roos a couple of them and he's gotten two easy outs Casino Arizona and Talking Stick Resort zort the Valley's richest and best rewards Ved best casino and AC Central's best of the desert here's the pitch Hernandez takes one down the middle for a strike and the count o and one first start of this series for Hernandez was now the 01 is down low one ball and one strike to count left-handed starters on the mound that is typically where you will see Dave Roberts keep Max Muny and Gavin Lux on the bench and use them as pinch hitters in critical spots the one one is a strike called and the count is now one and two kind of a wide strike and hopefully that continues cuz Rod is a guy that could take advantage of a wide Strike Zone one two outside as you were saying was change up perfect just off the plate but he didn't get the call that time couple of balls couple of strikes and now the 2 two pitch swung on and fouled straight back that was in the that was too hot to try and C it was just below us but that had some steam on it it did and I was frozen it was just I was going to take I'm not doing that one yeah that's how you lose a finger all right I already got one broken finger was now the 22 once again to Hernandez is fouled away much further from the radio Booth that'll be in the sixth row on Deck Chris Taylor be really nice for Rodriguez to just get Hernandez here not only is it a one two three inning but Taylor has really struggled offensively this year much rather start the inning off with him than Otani two two pitch weekly hit back to Rodriguez calmly gloves and a quick underhand flip to Bell at First In Time the inning is over it's a one two three frame for the Lefty Rodriguez [Applause] [Music] the pitch a little slow roller Chapman bead got what a play look at him chap a walkoff defensive play by Chapman that is of all the great plays he's made that might be the greatest that's as good a play to end a game as you could ever have with the first pick of the 2024 MLB draft the Cleveland Guardians select Travis bazana a second baseman from Oregon State University it's a historic moment yes he's from Sydney Australia found his way to the campus of Oregon State and you see his family uh elated don't hurt the kid [Music] pay off in a big spot right here sends it deep the other way Donovan backing up to the track to the wall and paven Smith hits one off the wall this will get two runs home 8

tmobile.com the Arizona Diamondbacks play here Arizona Sports 987 and the Arizona Sports app it is the bottom of the second Josh Bell will lead off against Jack flare and the first one from flare is a breaking ball that missed low one ball and no strikes his curveball is only going to be about 75 to 78 8 mph is the 1 oh is another breaking ball and that curveball missed low as well 2 and0 he has a very good feel with both the slider and curveball it makes that fast ball a little bit stronger than the 94 that he normally throws up there 2 and that is a low strike that'll make it two and one fast ball at 92 it'll be Bell Smith and del Castillo switch and two left do up now the 21 and bell flinches and takes a call strike that is a worst call well now it's two and two certainly would like to get a couple guys on base make him work early in this game get him going from the stretch 2 two strike three called good Lord last three pitches not in the strike zone there's another guy that can take advantage of a a little wider Strike Zone he's been around a while he knows how to execute pitches and KN was really kind of gifted the benefit on that one here's B Smith 250 hitter three Homer 17 rbi's and the pitch is outside for ball One Missed with the f fast ball flarity ready into his wind up and his 1 oh is going to be off the plate the last time out for flare gave up three runs in six Innings of work against a pretty good Baltimore side W up picking up losing decision as the 2 is in there for a strike it's now two and one 13 quality starts this year he has he's been good he's been really [Music] tough and now the two- on Pitch swinging a Miss really nice curveball there two and two the count and he's the guy where look the Dodgers hope to have Yamamoto and glass now back for the playoffs healthy both of them are pretty far along in their rehab programs and so flare kind of it worked out nicely as the two two pitch is swung on and missed that's just good pitching attacking down soft stuff and then goes up with hard stuff to put him away you have a guy like flare as your number three in that rotation that's depth that provides some steady coverage and if for some reason those two guys have setbacks or they can't go he is a good enough pitcher where he can hold down serve in a game one DS her wildcard start as Adrien del Castillo takes a first pitch strike and the count of Z and one you can really view him maybe even better than those two guys you just mentioned and they might be backing him up but when he's on he is tough one to hit O2 curveball in there for strike two he is dialed in so far in the early going of this one 02 pitch del Castillo takes strike three and he just stands there bat on his shoulders as flarey strikes out the side in order in the bottom of the second we go to the third inning no top of the order and Sh Otani against ronell Blanco there's a ball hit way out of here Otani if there is a third deck he' to hit it there he hit it over the second deck an incredible smash for sh Otani for his 32nd home run of the year I just heard that unmistakable sound that only his back can make otani's 32 118.7 mph wow here's rfy 27 home runs for the season 199 in his career high drive center field McCarthy backing up backing up turning around she's gone number 200 for rafy ende over the center field wall at Fenway Park a

thing got out of here in a nan second another leadoff Gunner ster and the Orioles jump on top 112. 3 mph 410 ft I'm not even sure I saw this ball leave the bat it was hit so [Music] quickly a team

Focus Wednesday mornings at 1145 on Arizona Sports 987 and the Arizona Sports app it is the top of the third inning and Chris Taylor is going to lead off this Frame third inning brought to you by Cactus corn since 1998 Cactus corn has been bringing the taste of Arizona to life from our bold Southwest flavors to our newest Creations Cactus corn is your goto for delicious handcrafted popcorn first one to Taylor and the right-hander takes high for ball one Taylor and then the top of the Dodger order Otani And Betts so important to keep Taylor off the bases with that top of the order lingering swinging a foul one ball and one strike the count Chris Taylor used to be such a great Swiss army knife in this Dodger lineup few years ago as the one-1 pitch is outside for ball two two balls one strike to count but there has been a steady decline in production for now the last three years after he was an All-Star in 2021 wi to the 2-1 swung on that is hit well to center field going back McCarthy still running after it turns looks plays it off the center field wall and Taylor is into second with the lead off double well he just jumped all over this fast ball it was a four seamer not a lot of velocity on it but about the outside third of the plate and he went with the pitch and McCarthy is great A place he made on Freeman's yesterday he couldn't catch up with this one so here is Otani with a man in scoring position and nobody out this is not an easy task for Rodriguez Lefty ready and Rodriguez home of the pitch swing and a miss so Tani was going to swing at a fast ball no matter where it was and that one was a foot off the plate end stay inside and up and that's a problem area for Otani whether it's a lefty or a righty pitching who would have thought him and Corbin Carroll would have the same sort of cold Zone yeah you're exactly right now the 01 fast ball inside that one nearly hit Otani you just get the sense if you're Rodriguez if you're going to miss you're going to miss more in to Otani then you're going to miss into the middle of the plate absolutely you got an open base keep making pitches the one-1 pitch swung on and a bouncer foul one ball two strikes [Music] Taylor at second nobody out top of the third that was a breaking ball good time for a strike out here the onew reached for again Otani f it doesn't even look like Otani ever sweats it we're looking at him in the monitor right now he looks like nothing just like he's just a model wearing the doer uniform here comes the onew and that is slowing in meanwhile you watch Brandon fought pitch and you think he's a spokesperson for Axe Body Spray or so how much he's sweating out there it's like someone dropped a of water on yeah the dunk tank at the fair that's right two two from Rodriguez swung on and again bounce foul to the right side it rolls harmlessly in the Dodger Dugout interesting how every time Otani hits a ball in the Dodger Dugout he puts his hand up almost as if apologizing usually a couple guys in The Dugout give him the hand right back like yeah all good another two two reached for another foul that one just ricocheted briefly off his front knee I'm just watching the replay on this one nice pitch by Rodriguez comes down hits the ground comes back up and gets him right in the right knee T's a huge brace on his front leg as well just below the kneecap protecting his as this two two rolled over to the right side and gor make gloves and throws to Bell at first Taylor moves to Third and with one out the Dodgers have the first run 90 ft from home plate you know it looked with the way he was swinging against Rodriguez it looked like that's all he was trying to do it didn't look like he had a good gauge in his pitches at all Corners are coming in at least Bell is and Rodriguez he fires and there's a line drive Bas it into left field Taylor scores from third of the Dodgers in front one to nothing tried to get a cutter inside just didn't get it in there far enough and Muki just turned on it quickly and lasered that ball to left field he's got such quick hands to his bets so the Dodgers with an early lead and now here is Freeman Rodriguez trying to live the damage to [Applause] one he's ready and he fires Freeman is swinging a foul that was another instance of a pitch way into a lefty but they like they've kind of been all series candy very aggressive looking for that first pitch fast ball that ball was way in there also throw to first bets back in there safely one- nothing La here comes the 01 and Freeman swings hits a high drive out to left field towards the bullpen Smith racing after it he will see it go into the pen gone a two-run opposite field home run for Freeman and the Dodgers have a three- nothing lead Freeman has been a force against the Dbacks in this series he took this ball the other way that's only the second hit that aod that Rod has given up to a left-handed hitter this year and Freeman just went the other way looked like that's all he was trying to do with that slider and paven gives it a good effort and left but runs out of room now de Oscar Hernandez and that is going to be low for ball one looked like he was in the strike zone one ball no strikes some numbers are kind of hold up rrod first time through the lineup 147 second time through 333 it jumps way up on him now Hernandez takes a strike well it's no easy task believe me when we say it we understand the challenge ahead but limiting the top four is a major key in beating the Dodgers those who do usually win those who don't see Innings like this it's a three- spot and it started with a double by Chris Taylor and you mentioned how really critical that was going to be starting this inning yeah that's the guy you needed to get out there the 2-1 pitch swung on that is hit well deep center field McCarthy back track at the wall and that one is off the top of the center field wall Carol backs up the play her andz digs for third and the throw by Pomo is late the Dodgers are running wild in this third inning it's a one out triple Forte Oscar who said coming into the game this might be this toughest match here to Oscar with great numbers against him in the past and even though the double hit in the first inning was just a blooper this time he made up for it he drilled this ball off the center field wall and now here comes Adrien del Castillo to talk things over now this is a guy you really would like to get a strike out or a popup you'd like to save this run of Third Base here Dodgers have six hits already two in a third Innings pitched meanwhile the Diamondbacks only been a couple of innings but they do not seem to have much of an answer for Jack flare keeping this thing like you said at three it feels Paramount as it doesn't look like flare is going to be yielding much here's the pitch Will Smith he takes a called strike infield is in for the Diamondbacks Hernandez about an average Runner as the 01 is off the plate away one ball one strike the only strikeout this afternoon for Rodriguez was that of Will Smith to end the top of the first 1-1 now is outside Rodriguez already close to 70 pitches it has been a grind look like he was kind of getting that Rhythm and Tempo in the second inning but it's gone right now he's just trying to fight his way through this inning part of the problem candy there's only two left-handers in this lineup good ones but you'd figure you'd have an edge the left on left match up forward bats the lefties have reached three times yeah two two fought off foul by Smith will'll do the two- two again this where you got to be careful especially if you elevate something to Smith here's the pitch weekly grounded second base guor May Fields Hernandez not running on the play and Smith is out at first that Runner holds and a break for Rodriguez in the Diamondbacks tiscar hernandz at third base must have thought that Rodriguez was going to field that ball cuz if it gets by him you You' think that he would be going on contact there but he was fooled and that's a break for the Dbacks that'll bring up Tommy Edmond he flew out to Center his first time up here's the pitch Edmond swings pops it up foul territory first Bas side and Josh Bell he'll make the grab and all right job well done to limit the damage to three but Freddy Freeman's two-run Homer sends us listen I've been following you for a while man bottom line is you get your a swing off and generate a lot of Pop I just want to go I'm getting this A to B oh man straight to the ball Barrel hitting the ball is the hardest thing to do I'm a person from o I'm looking for spin I'm not going to lie I'm a I'm I'm going to look for spin but I'm going time up a fast ball oh oh if you spin it I'm swinging like if you spin it in the middle I'm going to destroy [Music] it Neil takes off and this one towering high in the air toward Right Center can is far as he can go at the wall won't get it J has Homer in his fifth

lead and Jack flarity ready to work first pitch to Suarez swung on and missed the count is all and one Suarez gor and Pomo The Duo up stebs with just one base runner up to this point and now the 01 pitch is inside one and one the count well let's see if the Dbacks offense can get rolling here try to get back on the board swinging a foul on the one-1 by Gino it's now a ball in two strikes Suarez was six RB a couple of homers in this home stand all six coming against the Dodgers now the right-handers one-w pitch swung on and that's hit down the left field line it is a fair ball Hernandez quick to cut it off Suarez on his horse and the throw is cut off that'll be le off double you'll take it any way you can get it flarity made a pretty good pitch on him a cur ball down and Away almost one-handed that ball but kept it fair right inside the line and he gets a double bring up Luis gor and gor likes to try and slap the ball the other way that would be slightly problematic trying to move a runner over 90 ft from second to third as a left-handed hitter and the first one is away from flarity for ball one Diamond Backs they're going to have to really execute with their situational hitting especially in these early stages now the one pitch and gor make good take there curveball missed downstairs for ball two well flarity does not walk a lot of guys but you'll take anything you can get he's still had one of the most incredible diving catches I've seen couple nights ago 20- and guor takes a strike that one right on the corner by flarity and a count two and one 215 hitter is gor nine RB's on the year and now he awaits the 2-1 pitch that is outside ball three three and one walks as good as a hit right here if you're the Diamondbacks any way to get on the scoreboard s tax of flarity 3-1 that's lowan in ball four he draws the walk and now two on four pero and these are the types of situations we have seen the dags drop down a sacrifice pun love when they start getting some action at the bottom of their order he get a good bat here you already have a couple guys on base Carol On Deck don't have to get it all back right now if you're Arizona just start chipping away like you said grinding him down Hernandez the third baseman's in on the turf Freeman is asking you want me in front of the runner or behind the Runner behind all right I'll be behind him and Pomo squares and takes low for ball one the beauty of Pomo also in a situation like this he still knows the strike zone he can draw a walk when he's trying to lay one down absolutely Freeman now way up in front of guor at first base here's the pitch and that's outside the wheel play is on for the Dodgers as that is going to make it a 2- count FL a little bit upset that you know throwing a ball on that pitch but you have the wheel play on your job as a pitcher is to make sure you throw a strike cuz you want the hitter to bunt the ball get the out at third that's what you're trying to do the ultimate goal there whe play on no 20- bunt it towards third and Hernandez only play as to First Taylor covering at the bag and the sacrifice put out will go five to four but both Runners move into scoring position only one out in the inning for Corbin Carroll well executed bun had some good angle on it flarity couldn't get to it Kiki Hernandez the third baseman was reading flarity and had to go in for the bunt so he couldn't cover third base in case there was a a possible play there first that's all about be having a good bunt down flarity comes set infield is back three nothing Dodgers and the pitch to Carol grounded to Second Taylor calmly gloves throws to first for the out Suarez scores the Dbacks are on the board it's now three to one not what Corbin really wanted to do but you know job done you got to run in sure he would have liked to gotten something with extra bases on it there just a two-run game here is McCarthy got a base hit his last time up gor at third two outs in this spot of the third inning here's the pitch McCarthy swings hits it right back to McCarthy looked home but realized there was two outs so now he throws to First and the inning is over Dbacks get one thanks to the lead off double and a couple of nice bats after [Music] and he's going the throw down is late the Atlanta brains career stolen base record belongs to Ronald aunia Jr that's number 190 I'm

and Miguel Roos leads off for LA Dodgers in front 3 to one and Rodriguez ready first pitch to Roos is outside for ball one on the next home stand first 20,000 fans to the Dbacks Brewers game on September 14th take home the Serpent's replica Jersey courtesy of Pepsi 10 bunted it's a good one third Bas line bare hand pick up Rodriguez throw a first not in time and Roa able to leg that one out after wonderfully dropping a bunt about a third up that third Baseline yeah he really put down a good bunt that bunt just really didn't deaden it kept rolling away when Rodriguez had to get to that ball and it took him a little bit longer than normal maybe like an extra step and that's all it took for Roos to beat it out Bring up Kik Hernandez third baseman and Rodriguez is missing frequently off the plate away with a change up here's the pitch here is outside change up away very much and the Dodgers are not really chasing that pitch he got have have to land a few more of those a little bit closer to the strike zone otherwise there might be more Innings like the third now the 1 oh and that is a check swing did not go on appe field to first one ball excuse me two balls and no strikes to count there is some stirring about in the bullpen Rodriguez up to 75 pitches now the 20-0 pitch swung on get in the air to Center McCarthy back underneath it roas looking to tag here comes the throw roas is going to try and tag the throw to Second not in time and rookie or is telling him to challenge looking straight over at The dback Dugout Diamond Backs they'll go to the phones here check in with Alan Campbell what do they want to do well just a high fly ball to center field McCarthy got back on that ball and we're just watching the play as Rojos is tagging coming in looks like he's clearly safe DX will not challenge fly out to center field a productive one as here is Chris Taylor doubled his first time up here's the pitch and Rodriguez starts him off with a strike back door cutter count his own and one Dbacks have Jordan Montgomery up and throwing in the bullpen a look at second now the pitch and Taylor takes off the plate downstairs one and one 3-1 Dodgers one out top of the fourth here's the pitch that one nowhere close missed badly high and outside two balls one strike that's 78 pitches thrown now thr a lot of balls compared to his strikes 47 strikes 32 balls and now the 2-1 swung on that is hit towards the Gap in right center field Carroll will cut it off and make the grab Roos can attack from third the throw is cut off oh Pomo throws that ball might have a chance at third base but decided to pocket it and with two outs a runner at third and the batter is sh Otani got that pitch it was a cutter that was in on his hands it wasn't kind of tied him up a little bit but Carol got that ball into Pomo Roos doesn't have the best speed even though he was tagging up there there might have been a play at third base might have been still a little winded think about the inning for Rojas legs out a bunt single Sprints to second tagging on a Fly ball as you get older as you know it takes a little while to get your sea legs back underneath you yeah that 270 ft that got [Music] him little Mound visitor now Brent strm talking things over this is a pretty pivotal bat right now you get Otani not only do you keep a run off the board you don't have to worry about him for the next eight batters not the bets Freeman and teoscar are that much easier but all of a sudden you give up a base hit here now you're back down by three potentially four you still have to go through that teeth of that top of the order and let's see what Rodriguez can do left-hander ready and the first pitch to Otani is just low ball one I got to believe they're going to work him inside hard and anything that throw out over the plate it's going to be off the plate and down 1 oh that's twice now he's missed his Target Two oani set up inside both of them middle of the plate fortunately though the pitch was just under the strike zone anything in the strike zone that could be trouble and this is a good hitters count the 2 Otani takes low and Away ball three and the Diamond Backs seemingly will not give him much to hit here it's almost pick your poison right you have Otani you have bets the guy you don't want to face is Freeman right now Rio Otani takes a pitch in the strike zone for ball four well I think the way D Castillo caught that ball that took a strike away from rrod the ball's on the outside corner but he caught it moving [Music] away and now here is Muki Betts base hit RBI is last time up these are the situations also we have seen Otani really run the bases well he is sitting on 43 Steals and 44 home runs this season Rodriguez comes set first pitch Betts in the dirt good stop one ball no strike so that's now five in a row missed by Rodriguez he is up to 85 pitches 3-1 Dodgers two outs in the top of the fourth inning Rodriguez ready here's his pitch And Betts takes a called strike kind of got that right on the outside corner right on the line 1-1 swinging a foul tip by Betts it's now one and two F mookie rookie was looking for something different than a high fast ball he started the swing tried to hold it up really didn't commit to the swing huge pitch for Rodriguez the one-w runner goes check swing on a pitch outside did he go he did not on appeal and that will be stolen base number 44 for Otani almost induced mooki that time came very close to getting the swing that was a change up well off the plate but two two swung on and in the air right side out of play foul throwing change UPS away that was supposed to be a cutter away that was over the middle of the plate he's trying to work the outside part of the plate might be able to cut one hard inside two two again tried to high fast ball but he missed badly well the Diamondbacks the last time Montgomery came into relief that was the start against the Mets Brandon fought had a couple of guys on base Dory said he wanted to try and maybe next time not put Montgomery in that situation but a walk here he might not have a choice 3-2 to bets swing and a foul right back into the netting because with Freeman on Deck I'm not sure that you want Rodriguez going after Freeman for a third time Freeman has walked and homered off the Lefty another 3-2 pitch swung on hit towards the G and left Center McCarthy ranging back he will make the catch and that will do it for the Dodgers at the top of the fourth inning they get a hit a walk they strand two in scoring position but do not we do not mess up your name we pride we pride ourselves here on MLB Central that's right right I'm getting them right we have a little game for you are you ready lowo had his first big league hit against Nathan avaldi wow no oh your first knocks avaldi off the end of the bat nice one though what were you thinking right there oh you your that doesn't count you ever have you ever hit a th000 for a year

swings and misses it a curve and the count is z and one one Chris gajola alongside Tom candotti final matchup of the regular season between these two teams tiebreaker on the line as the 01 and Peterson shows bunt he takes down low one and one the count we'll see if the Dbacks could take advantage Dodgers were held to a big zero last inning and so your chance to get back get a little closer one-1 high and outside for ball two two balls and a strike they have really had to hold off the Dodgers the last couple of innings he's now the 2-1 his way outside for ball three but despite being out hit 7 to2 despite the fact that had a little harder time against flare than the Dodgers against Rodriguez it is still just a TW Run game as this 3-1 pitch is right there for a [Music] strike now

got it you like we said a couple of times first the 1-1 and Bell swings and fouls it back it's Such a Pity the Diamond Backs don't have at least Walker and Marte for this series just as a real litmus test offense versus offense not to say the Diamondbacks have not done a great job as the onew there's a swing and miss and the fourth strike out for flarity I guarantee the Dodgers are really happy the Walker's not here I well I can agree with you on that one after what he singlehandedly destroyed them in [Music] La here's paven Smith he'll take a first pitch curveball for a strike and the count is z and one but with that Firepower coming back this game again is the 01 is going to be low one ball one strike it's really a two game swing because to lose this game you now must not only catch the Dodgers but surpass them by one when you don't play them again as that one is swatted into left center field of base hit outfielder Hernandez cuts it off and paven held to a two- out single but don't you think the important thing really is to just make sure you're healthy and playing well as you get into the playoffs absolutely I mean I think everyone you play to win the division there's no question about it and they're still going to do that but more importantly you just got to take your time with catel and Walker knowing that they could be such a Difference Maker Adrien del Castillo struck out looking on three pitches first time up he looks at a called strike here two outs bottom of the fourth inning no and I think that's exactly how the Diamondbacks feel it they have to sort of protect themselves from themselves and making a rash decision and now the 01 is off the plate away you ask any athlete hey you good to go I'm ready I'm telling you just ask booby miles look what happened to Friday Night Lights cost per main Panthers a state championship Leo he's not impressed though he's got his Pat Tilman ASU Jersey on as there's a swing and Miss players today will get to

on Arizona Sports 87 in the Arizona Sports app well the Diamond Backs are going to be the first to go to the bullpen go to the bullpen brought to you by Sanderson Ford best play in new Ford is at Sanderson Ford left header Jordan Montgomery will now take over on the mound Montgomery replacing Eduardo Rodriguez it been a tough season for Montgomery he's making his second appearance out of the bullpen and so far the numbers this year 8 and6 6.16 ER he'll work to Freddy Freeman the first pitch to Freeman is swung on and missed Oh by no means candy was it a perfect outing for Rodriguez as the 01 is swung on and missed again no balls two strikes the count but he did exit this game with the diamond back still within a ston throw off getting right back in it well I think Tory recognized he didn't have his best stuff out there the way Mont gy threw the last time he came out of the bullpen he threw the ball well and might this might be a good time to put him in before the game gets out of hand one ball two strikes Montgomery missing up and in with a fast ball Dodgers don't really have to change their lineup it was built for left-handed pitching and now the onew breaking ball hammered foul line drive pass the first baseman Bell and it's a ball in two strikes Freeman has walked and homered Homer a two-run shot off of Rodriguez he's now up to 80 rbi's on the year one two swung on and fouled again that might have hit the front foot of Freeman left you ready and Montgomery he throws and there's a little pop up to third out go goes Suarez into shallow left he will make the grab and a good start for Montgomery one up one down for teoscar Hernandez great pitch he just really buried that two seamer right in on his hands Perfect Pitch to end up getting Freeman out so the final line for Rodriguez in this one the left-hander goes four Innings and he allows three runs all earned on seven hits walk two and struck out one and now Oscar takes a high fast ball for a strike download the game time app and authorized MLB ticket Marketplace and save up to 60% off last minute tickets today oh one line drive base hit into left field and for Hernandez he is now just a home run shy of hitting for the cycle three for three change up that time a little bit in side I think he wanted this ball more outside and he just served that line drive the left field it's one-onone out for Will Smith again Dodgers lead 3 to one we're in the fifth inning and Montgomery fires and Smith takes inside for ball one first time up Smith struck out next time up round out to Second 10 pitch that's a beauty right on the outside corner good fast ball 94 milph one ball and one strike to count well G's throwing some good pitches coming in in this inning comes a 1-1 and that's a little bit low you know Montgomery is in an interesting spot as well where obviously the word is being used as a demotion to the bullpen from the starting rotation as the 1 one is in there for a called strike it's one and two and a a war of words kind of with him in the way that his offseason was handled and kind of why he's struggling as crowd trying to give him a little support here ande of Will Smith the ball in two strikes and now the pitch swung on and fouled away but he's got that basting option and everyone assumes he's going to take it and that look there's a real possibility he might but couple things to keep in mind here number one if he takes that option he's probably doing it knowing full full on well the minus an injury he will start next year in the bullpen as well and that's not what you want entering free agency as a starting pitcher as the onew is outside couple of balls couple of strikes in addition this is kind of outside of baseball but his new agency is not getting any cut of the old deal that he made with Boris so they are very much incentivized to have him opt out and try and get him a better deal that'll give him whatever the rate is 10% you would know better than I once two two is fouled away two balls two strikes to count if he can have a strong finish this year especially contributing in the playoffs that might help his Market if he chooses to go that route but easy for me to pretend to turn down $25 million it's all speculation right he just needs to go out just like everybody else and try to pitch the best he can going to help the team is going to help himself absolutely oneon-one out and his two two pitch here to Will Smith is in the dirt runner breaks for second Del Castillo's throw on the money and Hernandez thank you very much just runs into the second out for no [Applause] reason well it's a breaking ball and it's in the dirt and del Castillo dead heads this ball perfectly with the chest protector and he jumps right on the ball and makes a perfect throw to gu to get him two outs and now Montgomery's 3-2 is swung on hit in the air to Center McCarthy back and makes the catch and the Dodgers are done at the top of the fifth we go to the bottom of the fifth inning still La three and the Dbacks w of the Morgan and Morgan Dbacks radio network I'm Angela Gonzalez reporting [Music] [Applause] [Music] and here's another one I believe went off the scoreboard if you miss in the middle of the plate with Max Muny he's good look at that level swing right there and and he's a hitter but what I love watch him watch him drop he he what he does is he moves his hands and he loads into the back leg here you see the knob facing the catcher which I really love cuz that's the power position for any power [Music] hitter 1 and this ball in the air to deep center field to toia hit another one he just did and he's tied it up this ball is a little bit toward the end but it's still deep and it's gone that is gone that was over the orange line I believe this ball is touched to left center field it's got a chance to be his third how do you like that a three Homer game for Big [Music] Mike pay off in a big spot right arrive early fans will

the Diamondbacks beginning with Gino Suarez and this is the group that got it started back in the second inning pardon me the third inning when the knbs got their first run of the game flarity ready his pitch and Suarez takes off the plate ball one man it's a good time to get back on this board more pressure on flarity Suarez swings grounds it foul left side one ball one strike I mean he's only at 57 pitches is flarity so the way he's thrown the ball on Pace to give you a solid seven for the Dodgers was the one-1 pitch inside for ball two they've really rested their Bullpen now for a couple of days especially the way they used for blesi so you think that those a leverage guys would be sharp and ready is now the two one and fast ball called for a strike it's two and two that's one of the things when you you're kind of in a blowout situation you can really save your Bullpen you know when you know if you have to and you know Rob blesy took the the brunt of that punishment yesterday had to make a sacrifice for the team yeah [Applause] two balls two strikes to count flarity he throws Suarez swings and misses just walked the dog off the plate and got Suarez to swing right through it

they've done it on the first or second Pitch yeah particularly back in the the end of the third inning absolutely you kind of had him on the on the ropes a little bit that inning and then Carol with one pitch ground ball to Second and mccarth is one pitch and ground ball back to flarity here's the 2-1 and Gori takes a strike two balls two strikes to count he's really doing a good job painting his fast ball kind of been on the edges his two- two pitch swung on Grounded up the middle there's the short stop Roos and On The Run he will throw low to first to Freeman in time for the out two outs here's the shortstop Pomo Roma with the sacrifice bun his first time up that put two in scoring position Dbacks would get a run on the next pitch after that bun then RBI ground out by Carol but now they need him to find a way on again for Carol and Pomo takes strike one I don't have it in front of me but if you look at his fast balls thrown today I got to think a lot of them have been in the Box yeah I mean he's been really on top of his game he's had a good slider a good curveball fast ball he spotted you know very effectively he's really styed this offense for Arizona two outs the one-1 pitch and Pomo takes Loan in and really the off speed pitches candy they they've started in the strike zone and just faded either low or off the plate and that is so tough when the fast Ball's on the edges well especially given in this day and age where everyone's preaching High fast balls up in the strike zone he is down low and you know you know they're not getting good looks at it at all 3-1 Pomo takes strike two Full Count two outs nobody on here comes the pitch from flarity swung on and that's ripped into right field to base hit hanging slider and Pomo just pulled it right past the outstretched effort of Chris Taylor for a two- out Knock that's how you capitalize on a mistake pitch one of the few pitches that Flare's missed he leaves that slider right there and almost stings at the right that brings up the possible tying run and it brings up the red hot Carrol for the Diamondbacks already set a franchise record yesterday reaching base for the 40th consecutive time he's also been on a home run surge in the month of August trying to carry that into September as he takes a fast ball for a strike 11 game hitting streak on the line for Carroll and Flare's 01 is off the plate High one ball one strike FL to comes set here comes the one-1 good take by Carrol breaking ball in in the dirt slider from flarity now the count is swung in Carol's favor two and one and if you are Corbin what pitch having seen flarity now for a bit are you trying to key in on it well the first thing he's doing a good job not chasing cuz he's been in a real aggressive mode so he's working to count a little bit and now I think you're looking for one pitch that you could do some damage with something inside 2-1 breaking ball oh hanger and Carol nearly had it he fouls it back I mean that was almost like the slider through to Pomo that was just right there runner at first two outs and now Carol asks for time Dodgers in front 3 to one here in the fifth inning throw to first Pomo back in there safely first of two disengagements by flarity flarity ready now the two2 to Carroll is nowhere close ball three fast ball not sure if it's slipped out of the hands doesn't matter we NOA going to be off and running and if Carol can just lace one down that right field line think could bring Arizona to within one yeah and they're getting the pitch count up a little bit now in flare 3-2 swing and a miss got Carol to chase a fast ball up the inning is over six strikeouts for the right-hander we go into the sixth inning [Applause] [Music] there it is and this ball hit a long way to right center field and goo Le he got it he he made the catch he got it he made the catch are you kidding me you won't see better what a play by the gold Glover Brent Doyle timed it perfectly jumped and stole it

of the sixth inning and Tommy Ed will lead off against Jordan Montgomery Edmond Rojas Hernandez the do UPS and Montgomery's first pitch is a nice curveball at the knees for a called strike mcgomery has come out of the bullpen candy he has thrown strikes he looks sharp doesn't he he's worked ahead he now the 01 edman swings and misses at a high fast ball and the count is 0 and two and I think he's given the Dbacks a little bit of a boost boo after the Dodgers were the ones kind of firing out the body blows early on here comes the 02 pitch and Edmond takes a curveball off the plate away 3-1 Dodgers leaded this game far from over yeah there's a long long ways to go in this game here comes a onew swing and a miss Scott Edmond to chase low and a good start here for the Leander Montgomery that was an excellent Sinker he got on top of that ball drove it downward perfect pitch Miguel roas the batter on the first pitch to him is a check swing did not go at Dignity Health our team of Orthopedic experts can help keep you in motion don't let joint pain put your life on pause visit dignityhealth.org slaz Ortho to learn more fair to say Roos a bit out in front with that swing Val tips it into the M of del Castillo and count even at one ball and one strike one one pitch swung on weekly grounded to short and it'll be Pomo who collects and throws to First in time two up two down how about that inside for seamer and just chewed him up I mean just easy ground ball to Pomo basically had to really charge that ball yeah that ball had no giddy up off the bat Hernandez is over for two and this is one thing the other games of this series Diamond Back pitching kind of struggled candy Hernandez takes a fast ball low not being able to control the bottom part of this order for the they did a pretty good job flipping the card over to Otani And Betts and Freeman and that really hurt as the 10 is in the dirt I mean look at what happened in the third inning where Dodgers got all three of their runs it started with a leadoff double by the nine hitter you know it's a lot like the Diamondbacks too when you get something going at the bottom of the order that's where the Diamondbacks put up those crooked numbers same thing happens to the Dodgers 20 miss ball three very potent top of the order of course as I say that now Montgomery has sort of lost it here and miss it bat behind three balls no strikes Rio and he swings away to Hernandez and he pops it up to the shortstop Pomo wow Pomo underneath it he'll make the catch thank you very much Kik as we go to the bottom of the sixth inning it's a onew three frame you're a grounding force on your team Virgo and your practical sensibilities keep everyone focused amidst the chaos of the Season as October nears closer and the

Diamond Back half of the sixth inning Jack flarity kicks fires and the first pitch missing low for ball one flarity now close to 80 pitches they had a good inning against him in the fifth but didn't score they need to replicate that here in the six but hopefully get something out of it now the 1 is a back door breaker that missed for ball two two balls no strikes third time through the order this is where you're going to get flarity if you get him a little bit more vulnerable than the first time through here's a 2-0 and McCarthy takes the strike fast ball at 94 two balls one strike the count been an exhausting four game series between these two sides but still a lot to play for here this afternoon here's the pitch swing and a miss right through a 92 mph for seamer put it right on the outside part of the [Music] plate on Deck Jack Peterson first the two- two pitch swung on and a ground ball deflects off of flare and it goes into Center a base hit second hit of the afternoon for McCarthy and For the First Time Candy since the third inning the Dbacks have the lead off man aboard well this is a start you also have speed out there now didn't hit that ball well but it gets into center field now you got your three four five hitters coming up Jack Peterson's had a tough time against Florida he's had some pitches to hit too first one swung on and fied away to the left no balls one strike the count Peterson 0 for two from the stretch the pitch and excuse me Swinging missed by jock that'll make it a no ball two strike count not sure what jock was doing on that one it wasn't inside it was a high fast ball way off the plate that ball must have really exploded on him as couldn't hold up a swing [Music] one excuse me nobody out and The o02 Swinging a Miss well he was carved up that bat curveball down in the dirt after swinging high and wild at that high fast [Music] ball one down for Josh Bell three1 our score the dbx are safe at home with blue sky Pest Control the official Pest Control provider for the Arizona Diamond Ma and Chase Field here's the pitch Bell takes downstairs ball one seven strikeouts for flarity this afternoon he hit seven a couple starts ago against the Brewers his season High 14 strikeouts against St Louis he's averaging over 11 punch outs per nine now the pitch is going to be a curveball that missed in the dirt ball too and unfortunately for a lot of these strikeouts the backs just expanded The Zone they're at their best they don't chase very often well that's what happens when you have a pitcher hit in the spots so he's ahead in the counts and he can expand and then the hitters are a little defensive and they chase two- oh and Bell takes outside ball three three balls no strikes and that command has been fading a little bit over the last inning and a half for flarity take a walk right here too here's the pitch Runner goes that is a strike throw to second is right on the runner McCarthy and the Dbacks run into the second out oh Smith came up and just threw a seed right on the bag at second base I don't a nice tag by Roos too I don't know if the sign was put on or if McCarthy ran on his own will but that three-oh pitch usually when you just see a pitcher fire a fast ball for a strike not the ideal pitch to run on and now the 3-1 to Bell's inside ball four so instead of first and second one out had a runner at first two outs for paven Smith those are the little things that you look for at the very end of the game regardless whether you win or lose just those little situations that can make the biggest difference here's the pitch to paven check swing takes off the inside corner for ball one and now here comes Smith to talk things over he's thrown a lot of curveballs to paven in these first couple of the bats and I wonder a little bit about what this conversation is about give him a little breather here too he's got a 92 pitches like you said you know he was kind of cruising there for a little bit but his pitch counts kind of jumped up well if I'm Paving though I'm looking for a fast ball that I like line it up this is damage time he throws a curveball or slider for a strike so be it but don't let that fast ball get away curveball in the dirt two balls no strikes and Pav's got a little bit of power to that pull side we have seen it his walk-off Grand Slam or pardon me walk-off home run was to dead center it's a good ways away the 2 and that's an offs speed pitch that missed outside ball three another 3oh count this inning well certainly a sign to a manager when a pitcher is fatiguing and this is a good opportunity to be able to get to him 3 0 baven takes a strike outer third of the plate it's three and [Music] one 3-1 back door breaking ball that's going to be Ball Four second walk issued this inning and now the Dbacks have two on and Adrien del Castillo at the plate and here comes Dave Roberts to make a pitching change called the bullpen is brought to you by Sanderson Ford best playing of new Ford here it's Sanderson Ford well for flare he has run his race this afternoon and it is going to be the bullpens going at each other from here on out we'll tell you who the new pitcher is for the Dodgers right after this Dbacks with two on two out of the six down by two of the Morgan and Morgan lead off man aboard for the Brewers and now here's Jackson cherio Chio deep left another one for the Brewers fifth of the day from Milwaukee ofio his fifth of the season yeah that one got small in a hurry you knew that was out 441 ft a change up left up and Cheerio set it out of here for a two-run shot and a two hit game now for Jackson that's pretty well hit it's off the top of the wall he's got himself a triple off the hands Garcia lets it drop everybody's safe it's another hit Weston Wilson hits one out to right it's gone he's a double short of the cycle drive out to right center field this might do it it will do it Weston Wilson is going to get to second he's got the cycle oh wow W Wilson Rafi 18 home runs for the year leading the club at 51 runs batted in and a liner into right field that's down for a base hit Here Comes Hamilton robing judge firing to the plate the dive he is safe at home and the Red Sox have tight end on the 1,000th hit of rafy de's career wouldn't sh know would come against gar Cole and producing a run you knew it was just set yesterday the way the game went [Music] on and now Arizona Sports 987 and the Arizona Sports app new pitcher is Alex vessia but first we pause 10 seconds for station ID and the Morgan and Morgan Dbacks radio network kmvp FM Phoenix Arizona Sports the local sports leader on the Arizona Sports app and on 987 the left-hander vesia will face the left-handed hitting Adrien del Castillo vesia 2 and four with a77 E that is the lowest e in that Dodger Bullpen Dodgers lead three to one two outs and the first pitch an overhand slider that missed outside for ball one Des normally pitches High High fast balls to right-handed hitters and also the lefties High fast balls and and his breaking ball can be very very iffy with his command swing and a miss high fast ball up and in and Del Castile was swinging for the rafters it's now one ball and one strike Bell at second paving at first with aano Suarez on deck and here comes the 1-1 swinging a miss again one ball and two strikes to count bessia in his fourth year with the Dodgers just eclipsed 200 innings in his Dodger career all of them out of the bullpen and now the one-w pitch check swing did he go yes he did and del Castillo runs down to First Smith throws to Freeman to complete the strike out the inning is over d get couple more on basee but they Brett Rooker joining the show in studio we're going to talk hitting what are you thinking right here that's 95 at the very top and I at least foul it off so I know I conf I know I can cover it if I make that same move and have that same mindset I can cover the fast ball at the top and if I can cover that fast ball at the top and at least foul it off with two strikes and I know I'm on the rest of the pitches and I know I've got I've got time to adjust to it can we get a side view one of this one of the side views back up and I think oh my God he's going to work here I know he's definitely ready here he comes he's ready [Music] man and that will set the stage for Xavier Edwards selfishly looking for a single to complete the cycle toward short adamus has it gets rid of it quick and he's safe it's a single and it's a cycle the second ever cycle in Marlin's franchise history belongs to Xavier Edwards it took 30 years rise and now Edwards one two strike well oh that pitch not going to count we have a b yeah we have a b yeah I don't think he stopped I don't think Bole stopped and judge takes advantage High deep and gone Aaron judge gives the Yankees a two nothing lead well that b eliminated a potential strike three exact and them judge just smashed

Day the savior's tour fueled by Monster Energy Dbacks front office Focus Wednesday mornings at 11:45 on Arizona Sports 987 and the Arizona Sports app it is the top of the seventh inning starting out of run run out of daylight in this finale between the Dodgers and the Dbacks 3-1 La Chris Taylor leads it off and Jordan Montgomery who has thrown the ball well his first pitch outside for ball one well for Jordan he's just got to keep doing what he's been doing he keeping the dot or the dcks right into this game here's the one oh Taylor locked up by a good curveball one and one the count he looks sharp you know Rick Monday was in here earlier he have Dodger Radio for a long time Montgomery's 1-1 pitch swung on popped up right side of the infield and the second baseman gor ranging to his left will reach up and make the catch for the out he was talking about the absurdities that have been involved in this series and he was the one that pointed out when the Diamond bags had the Big B delay that that was against the Dodgers and not only that that was the game that Montgomery started for Arizona and that kind of initiated his struggles for the Diamondbacks had that long wait as Otani comes to the plate on the first pitch to shoh is down and in for ball one cuz nobody knew about the the B swarm until about 10 minutes before first pitch both starters had gotten hot they were ready to go here comes a one pitch swung on and a soft line drive into right field that'll fall and Otani has his second hit of the ball game well he got that ball inside was was where he wanted to throw it but just didn't get it up high enough and he's able to get the bat to the ball this time and just an easy line drive to right Montgomery has had trouble holding the running game even a left-handed pitcher utani with one stolen base against Rodriguez earlier if he gets any kind of look you know he's going to take off Montgomery first action a step and a throw to first one out one on and the pitch to Muki from the slide step is down low for ball one those are two common misses with the slide step either Up and Away to the right-hander cuz you didn't finish you rushed or down and into the righty cuz you were not synced up Runner goes the pitch taken all the way throw to Second not in time Otani with his 45th stolen base of the Year Montgomery Delta strike but now a runner in scoring position for bets I think if you're Otani you know you should a lot of thanks to Muki best for taking some of these pitches that when he gets a good jump like that even though it's putting mooki behind in count he's given Otani a chance to steal here comes a 1-1 he breaks for third that's in the dirt and Otani now with another stolen base is 46th third stolen base of this game well he just never looked Otani at all did Montgomery that's on the pitcher and now the Dbacks will intentionally walk Bets with a 2-1 count you said earlier pick your poison two vials on the counter right now the dback chosen the one labeled Freddy Freeman I'm going to say that mooki doesn't try to steal here he stays put with he steals a base they'll probably put Freeman on they want him swinging the bat hard default the logic first and third one out Dodgers lead three to one and the pitch to Freeman is a good curveball for a strike that caught a lot of the plate but the count is nothing and one del Castillo flashes through the signs just looking to get a ground ball here if you can get a ground ball get that double play it's a big G ask the o on pitch and Freeman takes a fast ball down low one ball one strike to count a walk and a two-run homer Freeman is one for two is now Montgomery's 1-1 swung on that is hit high in the air deep left center field Haven Smith back on the warning track camped underneath it he'll make the catch both Runners tag and both Runners are safe Otani scores bets to Second it's 4-1 on the Freeman sack fly yeah that was about 5 ft from getting out of this ballpark paven may actually made a nice play in left field and delivered a great throw into second base they almost got mooki it's a three-run lead for the Dodgers and now this at bat again becomes critical Hernandez a homer shy the cycle and the first pitch is a curveball in there for his strike Montgomery ready is 01 is low even to count at one and one teoscar in his career just two for 23 off Montgomery coming into this one now the 1-1 swung on and chopped foul one ball two strikes the count McCarthy shading a little bit towards right center field kind of creates a big gap out in left Center paven Smith and left doesn't run particularly well here's the onew good curveball for Montgomery though that one finishing under the Zone Hernandez took it it's two and two 4-1 Dodgers this offense has been quiet for Arizona to two swung on and it hits off the front knee of Montgomery Ricochet back to Third and Suarez will pick it up in foul territory and out comes the trainer to check on status of the left-hander 93.7 mph off the bat it was just hitting location where he Jordan just couldn't get down the field that ball come on the shin it looked like yeah he's really feeling his leg com The Backs I'm a little surprised they don't have anybody up in the bullpen if they were treating this game as a reset to try and get some of their arms fresh but there's still nobody up although I suppose if you can't go in this game you don't need anybody up they can take as much time as they need on the field to get ready to come in the game and this is an extended conversation and what do we have here right now it's trainer manager and player talking things over they're just trying to give him some time to get the feeling back in there and he's going to come out of this game so that's it the teoscar ground ball literally knocks Montgomery out of this contest the Dodgers are going to have first and third with two outs and a new pitcher is in for the Diamond bags that pitcher off as much time as he needs to warm up and we will tell you who that pitcher is right after this on the Morgan and Morgan dbag Radio Network hi this is Luis Gonzalez the Sanderson Ford summer sale

Baseball and outside of the game here the Guardians lead the Kansas City Royals right now 4-2 that game is in the ninth inning Guardians have a three-game lead up on Kansas City that division race is still as wide open as it's probably been in years uh the Orioles at one point were trailing the White Soxs 2 to one uh since then the Orioles have outscored Chicago 12 to1 they now leaded 13 to3 so pretty on brand for what's been going on for the White Sox as of late Cincinnati has a 5-2 lead over the Houston Astros Diamondbacks will face the Astros on the back end of their next road trip over

lighter who pitched is for Texas and the one game that already finished the Brewers beat the St Louis Cardinals by a final score of 9 to3 Freddy perala picked up his 10th win of the season a loss went to Andre Palante it's amazing how the Diamondbacks with like you said only about 25 games to go still have not played the Brewers once and they're going to have a stretch beginning next week where their seven of their next 10 games are against the first place Milwaukee Brewers makes it even that much more necessity to get Walker and Marte and and Gabby back in this lineup hit him back in healthy which appears to be the case very soon we could see Walker as soon as tomorrow a Diamondbacks opener against the San Francisco Giants that is not confirmed but with the reports that we're hearing he should be there should be a nice Locker set up for him and that visiting Giants Clubhouse so we'll wait to see when we get to tomorrow right now got to focus on today and slates to will face Will Smith with Runners on the corners two outs the Dodgers have already scored one in this inning and you feel like another would be a back breaker Stone's a hard throwing right-hander and his first one to Will Smith is in the top corner for a strike and they count 0 and one I think Will Smith did a little headshake on that one o and one the count now Sone fires Runner goes that's taken and the dcks will not throw down credit Hernandez or pardon me that is uh Hernandez with the stolen base well with the guy in third base del Castillo came up just kind of the fake see if he can get bets coming down from third base but he did not 1-1 nice slider from Sone that's a called strike and the count one and two so second and third with two [Applause] outs and here comes sione's one-w offering fast ball lined into right field to base hit bet scores Hernandez right behind him it is now a 6-1 Dodger lead that one really stings there fast ball I it was the location of it outside part of the play was okay but it was about belt high and that just the location doesn't mean a whole lot when the pitch is at that location belt High a pair of Threes for the Dodgers a three-run third and now a three-run seventh here is Tommy Edmond and the breaking ball from Sone missing high and outside for ball one 6-1 Los Angeles comes a 10 pitch swung on by Edmond and fouled out of play to the [Music]

visit aet.com to learn more tebac front office Focus Wednesday morning at 11:45 on Arizona Sports 987 and the Arizona Sports app new pitcher for the Dodgers Leander Anthony Bond and bond this season 2 and two with a 2.82 e Ray as he works to Corbin Carroll Caroll two for five in his career against the left-hander gor made first one out and Carol shows bunt but at the last last moment pulls the bat back and takes the ball see Corbin do this quite often when there's a tough Lefty on the mound he has a big sweeping breaking ball like bond does only a 203 hitter against lefties this year and now the pitch swung on and missed one ball one strike he does have six homers against lefties this year six of his 19 obviously a lot of those recently oh yeah 1-1 Carrol swings grounds it up the middle that's going to find its way through a base hit Kor on his way to third the throw goes into second and the Diamondbacks with another huge hit as they have first and third with one out for McCarthy you'll take it it's a slider going away from Corbin kind of a oneand swing and wasn't hit very hard but hit in the right spot and that's a break for the D backs guys on first and [Music] third and mcarthy has only faced Bond once in his career and he's one for one and we just talked about how Corbin is a 200 hitter against lefties this year McCarthy's hitting 324 against left-handed pitching no guarantee but an encouraging Trend yeah I know he hangs in there well gets lefties here's the pitch McCarthy swings and fouls 96 away and the count is 0 and one now McCarthy has eight home runs this year none of them have come against left-handed pitching I like what they're doing right now just base hits keep passing that baton 62 Dodgers lead as the 01 is inside for ball one one ball and one strike to count [Music] on Deck Jack Peterson that was the 1-1 swung on and skyed foul by McCarthy the count now one and two I got to think if somehow McCarthy finds a way on here and Randle gritch will be coming into the game well gritch does have his helmet on he's Ready's in The Dugout bondas onew swung on and spoiled by McCarthy [Music] slider it's one of those ADV bats where you really going to have to grind it out do what you can hope hoping that Bond makes a mistake one two high Chopper right back to the mound bond has it and shot puts it to First first in time just an awkward awful looking throw but I think they did get the out a run does score Carol into scoring position and with two outs Here Comes Rand gritch to the plate almost a huge break for the Diamondbacks Ponda really took his time I think he almost forgot who was running that barely did get McCarthy at first but it gives Britch a chance at it here and here comes Mark Prior pitching coach for the Dodgers going to go over the scouting report on gritch well you needed a response from this Diamondback offense you got two runs back so it's a Once Again a 6-3 game or I should say a three-run lead for the Dodgers and I me talk about having a day yesterday gritch had himself a three for five day a double a homer three runs scored four rbi's that was in five at bats he's going to get one and a base hit would bring the Diamond Backs to within two they got themselves right back in this game they needed to score a couple they have done that you want more but just keep passing that baton as the base hit's going to bring Caroline [Music] b as it is over right-handed hitter left-handed pitcher first one swing and a miss and the count no balls one strike grch with an open stance from the right side here's the 01 swinging a Miss once again two sliders out of the strike zone two swings and misses by gritch too aggressive not picking up the spin to be a little bit more selective that ball was well in the dirt now the Dodgers have Blake Tran throwing two outs and the o02 pitch is up and in one ball two strikes 98 Bond really Juiced it that's a top of his gun I think yeah he wanted that one got to go back to the slider kicks fires swung on and fouled back hanging slide slider right down the middle and all Randle could do was send it back into the net that was his pitch there he had to be sitting on a slider after the first two and then he got one that was just a nothing slider and he bowled it just missed it one two swung on and a fast ball fouled away still a ball in two [Music] strikes runner at second two outs the DBS Trail by three bottom of the seventh and bondz one-w offering is off the plate away two balls two strikes Brand's got himself right back in this count still got to believe Bond's going to try to get him out with the slider down and in the two two swung on and foul better slider would have been strike three had it been taken and gitk swung and fouled it that one was on the low inside corner the slider doesn't have a lot of vertical break so he's going to have to locate it I think you're GR I think you got to be looking almost down there for that bond is two2 pitch in the dirt ball three nearly hit gritch yeah another slider down and in in the dirt nice take he's putting in a bat on him right now Full Count which started at 0 and two and Bond's payoff pitch is swung on and dropped by Smith would have been strike three but it's squirted out of the glove for Seer 97 he just spoiled that first couple of pitches in didn't think he was going to be much of an atat but tip your hat to gritch he has turned it into something you can't take your eyes [Applause] off three balls two strikes two outs Carol at [Applause] second and the 3-2 is grounded towards third but it just rolls foul Hernandez is defending the third base line you'd really have to square one up if you're going to get it past [Music] him and another 3-2 pitch coming up here usually the longer it goes the more the hitter gains from the pitcher Bond another 3-2 is a q shot to the right side tough play it's picked up by Freeman he tosses to bond and he's ruled safe oh I think bonda missed the bag I think he stepped right over first and the Dbacks have him on the corners let's see what the Dodgers do Bond took a horrible route the first on a play like that a little Q shot where you don't know who's going to get the ball as a pitcher you go directly to the bag if you catch the ball on your way then you take it yourself otherwise you the first baseman gets the B the ball you have to be on the bag Dodgers will challenge this replay review is brought to you by Planet Fitness get fit for less than 15 bucks a month what do we see here candy oh I think he's safe all the way I don't know what the Dodgers are challenging here there's no way he touched the bag you can see dirt flying as he kicks and reach reaches for it so he oversteps first and then tries to reach back that angle I understand it makes it look like it but of course it's going to look like it the foot's blocking the base yeah you look at the other angle coming there you can see daylight really between his foot in the [Applause] base big call there is no way there's enough to overturn unless there's an Ang that we are just not privy to I agree with you the run is safe call stands Runner safe and we got action on the corners boys first and third two outs and the tying run comes to the plate in Josh Bell tip your hat to Randall gritchen he battled through that hole at bat after swinging wildly at two pitches in the dirt and coming back and finally getting a base H Dbacks have scored twice in this inning first and third two outs for Josh Bell they Trail six to3 Bell the switch hitter will bat [Applause] right-handed and with two outs the first pitch from Anthony bond is off the plate ball one and this crowd has back into it candy yeah they're ready to bust out of their seats right [Applause] here bondas 10 oh swing and a miss chased one low change up nowhere close to the plate fell an aggressive mode he was already in swing mode when he threw that ball one ball one strike here's the pitch swinging a heart grounder right to the shortstop Roos gloves flips to Second for the force out and the inning is over Dodgers they surrender two but after seven they still lead this and here's another one I believe went off the scoreboard if you miss in the middle of the plate with Max Muny he's good look at that level swing right there and and he's a hitter but what I love watch him watch him drop he he what he does is he moves his hands and he loads into the back leg here you see the knob facing the catcher which I really love cuz that's the power position for any power [Music] hitter this ball is hit hard deep left field Travis darno has given the Braves the lead shot from Travis darno he's looking to add another darno goes yard for the second time of night this one is hit well deep left center field it is a Gra and slim for Travis darno his third Homer of the night and the Braves lead 7 [Music] to3 head in the air to deep left field back it goes

form and he counts of descriptions of this game may not be disseminated without the express R consent of the Arizona Diamondbacks Miguel Roos leads the top of the eighth inning he'll face Slade saone and sione's first pitch is a front door slider in there for a strike the count is 0 and one this is where Slade's got to put up that zero here this is a big inning got to keep the score right where it's at now the 01 is swung on and a two-hopper to short fielded by Pomo he'll throw to first that is the third time Roos is grounded out to the short stop and a good start for Slade one up one down for the third baseman Kik Hernandez is remember how important it is to get these guys at the bottom of the order out so if you face the top of the order it's with nobody on base first one to Hernandez and what was that curveball that missed up and in that one got away from him ball no strikes Hernandez is over for three and now the pitch swung on and fouled off the plate one ball one strike it's just another terrific crowd here by the way as we've had all series long there's a swinging up ball to right field that'll get foul there have been over 140,000 people over the course of these four games and that is the highest attended series the Dbacks have had since 2004 20 years that was when the Yankees were in town and 2004 was not a good year for the Diamondbacks let me tell you onew pitch swinging a weak ground ball up the Third Baseline and fortunately for Sone Suarez and all the Diamond Backs it stays foul that would have been an infield single just kind of dribbled it into the bat this is where sakon needs to be able to put him away here got a head in count perfectly now get your out pitch going whatever that may be here got to make a good one the onew swung on Line to Center McCarthy went in now backs up a step makes the grab two down and here is Chris Taylor well he'll take it a line drrive but well located right to McCarthy Casino Arizona and Talking Stick Resort the Valley's richest and best rewards wanted best casino and AC Central's best of the desert but the Dodgers they've got options Off the Bench M Lux not going to go with any of them both have played second base as well as the first one to Taylor is flipped in there for a called strike Otani on Deck as the 01 is a fast ball that missed outside 96 mph one ball one strike in the bottom of the eighth the Dodgers will likely bring in right-hander Blake Tran and Tran will pitch to the trio of paven Smith Adrien del Castillo and aano Suarez 1-1 and Taylor swings and fouls it one ball two strikes the count oh you got a wave going on you got got all kinds of stuff going on in the in the [Applause] crowd Sone home with his one-w offering and Taylor takes two and two 63 Dodgers lead it two outs stop of the eighth inning two two pitch line right dve right field falling fast and down in front of Carol that is a two out single and it will bring Otani to the plate with a man on well big time and bat right here this is one that Slade's got to win righty pitcher Lefty hitter and the first one is taken inside for ball one one ball no strikes two outs in the eighth here's the pitch and a breaking ball missed high for ball two two and0 slider really got away from him Bill Castillo wanted that ball inside and that ball was up and away and now the 2- is high ball three three balls no strikes having trouble getting that slider inside to him left that one out over the plate Brio pitch that's in there for strike 3 and one the count got to be careful here here's his 3-1 and Otani takes strike two right on the corner Otani started to walk away thought that was Ball Four that was just a pitcher's pitch look how far outside Del Castile was setting up he was setting up almost in the right-handed batters box he didn't want to throw a strike there whoops Full Count and the 3-2 is swung on and fouled away challenged him inside with a slider you've talked about all series long if if Sone has any command of his foren get that inside third little bit up in the strike zone yeah I think he's having trouble really getting to the glove side this at bat 3 two he walked him and now there are two on and two out for mooki bets Otani has reached base safely now for the fourth time and five play appearances and here comes Brent strm to talk things over you know this is why it was so important when you go back to this inning after you get the first two guys out and you give up a hit to Taylor that's where it becomes difficult now now you got to face the top of this order Otani you end up walking him so you have guys on first and second and now you have to face bets it it becomes tough that's why you have to control the bottom of the order against the Dodgers don't get bets then you have to face Freeman don't get Freeman multiple runs are in now you have to face teoscar it only gets worse from here when you could have gotten a guy coming into this one hitting a buck 72 but he didn't and now you reap what you saw two on two out M visit is over here is Betts he is hit into a double play He Is singled walked and he is score two runs right on right match up first pitch on the way and Muki swings and hits a line drive down the left field line base hit Taylor scores as that goes all the way to the wall Otani going to be waved around third he'll score as well and all that hard work for the two runs Sone gives him right back as it's now 8 to3 slider he didn't get it out over the plate to the outside corner he left it in we've been saying this whole inning he's having a difficult time getting the ball to his glove left side and that ball stays in the inside third a slider and mooki let him have it 56th and 57th RBI the season for mookie bets here is Freddy Freeman and the pitch is inside for ball one one ball no strikes Freeman takes slow and in for ball two two and 0 decks chose today despite the blowout win yesterday no Thompson no GLE no Puck no Martinez none of them as a 2- he swung on and fouled they went from Rodriguez to Montgomery and that made a little more sense at the time Rodriguez only went four Innings and you were still trying to get a little bit of length but when the dags brought themselves to within three you thought maybe yeah they're making a charge here's a 2-1 and now Freeman swings and misses two and two but they roll the dice with Sone to try and get him out for another inning in the eth got the first couple like you said and pretty pretty quick fashion the base hit by Taylor put things in motion that saw a walk and a double as now the two2 is guided foul just a high slider flat Freeman fouled it off and trying to get that ball to the inside part that ball was out over the plate two two to Freeman swinging a foul tip rattled off the mid of del Castillo couple of balls couple of strikes they bring up the Oscar Hernandez if Freeman reaches here's the pitch swung on and a jam shot foul the 2 two is a rifle shot foul just outside the right field line that was a stung line drive and that would have been extra bases just missed the foul line down the right field line that's one thing about Freddy Freeman he uses the whole field he goes left field the right field down the line over the fence in the gaps he's so hard to defend to two inside ball three and it goes all the way to the back stop del Castillo can't find it bets will go to third wild pitch yeah big breaking ball it almost got Freeman in the back foot that's how far he yanked it and D castio got a little bit of glove on that and then it tricked away for he didn't pick it up went all the way back to the to the back wall 3-2 pitch swung on by Freeman fouled out of play quite the abat Freeman's putting together already 10 pitches con up to 37 32 that one hit well right center field and deep and McCarthy turns and watches that one Sail on out of here dead center it's a two-run home run by Freddy free Freeman and the Dodgers have blown It Wide Open 10 to 7 this whole inning started with two outs and nobody on [Applause] base second home run of the ball game is 21st of the year and the Dodgers flexing their muscles offensively for the third game out of four against the Diamondbacks center cut fast ball you're not going to get away with those pitches there now here is De Oscar Hernandez count is 0 and one you're right credit a massive assist for all this to Chris Taylor the two times he has found a way to reach base as the nine hitter two huge Innings offensively for La three runs in the third four runs now in the eighth and now the 01 from Slate outside one ball and and one strike to count two outs nobody on in the one-1 pitch Hernandez swings and of course it's a swinging bunt to third Suarez will pick it up with a bare hand a long ball followed by a short one but there hits all the same and that brings up the catcher Will Smith that's a five for five day for tiosa Hernandez not going to get the cycle it would appear but three singles a double and a triple on the card and now here is Will Smith he will take a fast ball for a strike and the count is own and one dags now have Paul sewalt getting loose B1 swinging a Miss it's now nothing in two 10-3 Dodgers leaded they have scored seven runs over the last couple of innings and now saone is 0 two he missed badley with a fast ball unfortunately sonone has come into this game candies required or I should say registered three outs but he's given up five hits in a walk six Bas Runners compared to three outs as the onew is popped up down the right field line this a tough play for Carol long run for him and not going to reach it the lands fou well besides the damage that sonone has given up the reason for it he just has not been able to throw enough good pitches been missing his location most of them really everything has been to the arm side not the glove side he hasn't been able to get the ball in on the lefties and that's why he's been struggling rosters expanded yesterday he was called up with hor Barosa is one two here's a check swing ground ball right side base hit a that's just unlucky if you're saone Smith really indecisive with the swing and the baseball Gods decided to roll one through the four hole for him yeah the last two hitters I mean t Oscar with the swinging bunt that one there check swing goes through you can't do anything about those no executed good pitches just got tough results it's what preceded it that unfortunately leaves a sour taste in the mouth and now here's Tommy Edmond the Dodgers have sent nine to the plate Sone fires and Edmond shoots a line drive right up the middle of his hit Hernandez waved around Third Hill score throw goes to Third and Smith is in there safely 113 Dodgers in front it is now a five run eighth inning and again fast ball right down the middle of the play late just a tad elevated edman just jumped all over it and that brings out the skipper toy Lal to make a pitching

unfortunately leads this finale 11-3 called to the bullpen brought you by Sanderson Ford best play in new Ford is it's Sanderson Ford and now on the pitch for the Dodgers it is right-hander Michael Peterson Peterson in his third stint with the Dodgers the first one to pavid Smith is off the plate for ball one in his 12 Innings pitch he's walked seven guys with eight strikeouts he's got a potent arm here's the 1 oh paven swings fouls it away nine appearances coming into this one as a big leager with a 450 er six runs 12 Innings two homers in those 12 Innings but again the sample size is so small hard to really know is now his pitch to pav in loow and in for ball two two balls one strike he has thrown the ball very well at Oklahoma City this year 44 four strikeouts eight walks and a sub two ER and 35 outings two balls one strike here's the pitch and paven takes outside ball three Dodgers with a five run top of the eighth inning and now they lead by eight it was a 3-1 pitch swung on and a high fly in not very deep center field it'll be Tommy Edmond underneath it and he makes the catch hard fast ball very top of the Zone it's really hard to get on top of that 97 he throws up there became an easy Fly ball bring up Adrien del Castillo he is over for three with a couple of strikeouts first pitch del Castillo swings and misses 98 might have got a piece of it and the count nothing and one no balls one strike the count here's the pitch and Del Caso looks at strike two well thrown by Peterson 96 right on the black I think that's what the Dodgers like they like his this kid stuff you just can't harness it yet 02 o in the dirt that it's a tough block for Will Smith that's what everyone just scatters that breaking ball just down pretty close to the hitter and once it hits you don't know which way that Ball's going to break one and two the count here's the pitch Peterson takes High two and two Del Castile that is I knew what you meant from the belt 2- two swinging a Miss chased one in the dirt and that'll be a strikeout for Dell Castillo his third here tonight is part of an over for four yeah he's having a tough night offensively that was a tough pitch too that's a tough and bat against this kid two up two down that brings up AO Suarez Suarez is two for three double single two runs scored his average is up to 241 when at one point middle of the Season it was down to about 197 that is some serious work to do when you have to overcome 200 at bats and I mean 200 at bats of of no results as the 01 is fouled away it's now 0 and two he deserves a lot of credit and when you look at this Diamondback turnaround that began really towards the the beginning part of June's when they started winning games but the offense really took off the beginning of July that's right around where Suarez found his Mojo so to speak he got hot McCarthy got hot those two guys especially McCarthy with the hits and getting on base Suarez with the power and the slug which led to the rbi's now the onew pitch two high from Peterson two balls two strikes the count Dodgers in the top of the ninth inning they will send up Hernandez Taylor and Otani as La leads it 11 to3 two two pitch outside ball three good take by Suarez Padres with a win tonight can leap frog the Dbacks and the Wild Card Standings 3-2 swung on that's hit pretty well left center field and I mean where

no courtesy Chase 108 mph off the bat it was on a line and it was out of here quickly and with that trip around the diamond stopped by any Daniels jewers it's a home run for your free team bracelet

with room will reach back make the catch one pitch one out for seaw Wald in this ninth inning that'll bring up Chris Taylor and boy I know a lot of guys top of the order did real damage for the Dodgers offensively but Taylor the Difference Maker really in this game in my opinion his ability to start the action as he will take off the plate from seaw Wald for ball one two outs nobody on that base hit that he got just turned the flip the lineup over and then the top of the order the Dodgers did the damage Sone was looking good as now Taylor takes a strike I mean he he was doing his job he got roas on a ground out he got Hernandez on a Soo line out to Center wasn't hit all that hard but the single to Taylor and then was the one- On's off the plate he went walked to Otani doubled to bets Homer to Freeman single Hernandez single Smith single entman and that was that 2-1 outside ball three three balls one strike to count and the the two hits by Hernandez and Smith I mean that's about as bad a break you can have for any pitcher the way they came off the bat is now the 31 is hit high and deep down the left field line if it's fair it's going to be in the second deck it's foul and it's three and two long ways Taylor still he doesn't get cheated when he swings he lets it Go and now the 3-2 pitch from sewald is a check swing and miss and that is a strike out for the second out of the

Rosa recently called up when rosters were expanded second stint with the dags and Honeywell is onew swung on and missed he struck him out one down in the bottom of the ninth two seamer bottom of the Zone just swung over the top of that one that'll bring up Corbin Carroll a little surprised here Carrol's getting in the bat last thing you need is a hit by pitch or something going wrong I mean honey well that pitch at 96 he's got good velocity decks Trail 11-4 after conceding eight runs in the seventh and eighth inning a three spot and a five spot as now Carol takes a second strike it's 0 and two now it looks like honey Well's working him away two good fast balls also has a good screw ball 02 fast ball down one and two the count Dbacks start a series with the Giants beginning tomorrow as the onew pitch is the screw ball missed under the strike zone one and two the count Ryan Nelson gets the start for the Dbacks now the pitch swung on serve down the left field line that is a fair ball and one hops into the bullpen for a ground roll [Applause] double was working him outside with the fast balls missed with the one screw ball and then he just throws another fast ball away and Corbin goes right with it that was great hitting he gets himself a ground Ru double [Music] Ryan Nelson will get the start tomorrow for Arizona he will be opposed by left-hander Kyle Harrison couple of lefties coming up in that series as McCarthy takes a strike Hayden Birdsong against Gallen in game two and then Merill Kelly going against Blake Snell we all know Snell's throwing the ball much much better over the last month and a half Honey Well's 01 loing in one ball once strike to count and the Dodgers with a seven-run lead in the ninth inning 1-1 and McCarthy takes outside two balls in a strike honeywell's 2-1 pitch and McCarthy takes outside ball three Jake two for four two singles and two comebackers to the pitcher an unusual tandem now the 3-1 and McCarthy High Chopper up the first base line Honeywell has it and he'll just tag out McCarthy so make that three comebackers to the pitcher tell Honeywell got off the mound really quickly to get that ball otherwise that's going to be another hit and now there are two outs for Randall gritch last chance for the Dbacks gritch came in to pinch hit for Peterson in the seventh got himself a base hit now the first one from Honeywell down and away for ball one Dodgers are going to take the season series and now if the Diamondbacks have any aspirations of winning the division they will have to not only catch the Dodgers but run past him that pitch inside but Rich check swung fouled it with today being game number 138 with 23 games left in the season you don't play them again hard to make up seven games as the Diamondbacks will now fall six behind the Dodgers and the standings two balls one strike well the good news is the Diamondbacks are going to get Walker and Marte back soon absolutely and look it's just about getting in just get in get healthy get hot you can beat anybody anywhere going need to tell us 3-1 swung on and gritch Bows it away Full Count two outs bottom of the [Music] ninth and now Mound visit come on boys [Music] long one too this almost feels like a troll job what' you say the Dodgers are going Milwaukee no no I believe they are they were heading home they're going to Anaheim oh they're going back so they got a couple of home games coming up 3-2 pitch off the plate good Mound visit rich walks and now they are Runners at first and third for Josh Bell I think Will Smith was just telling him just throw anything close at this point he's going to call a strike didn't happen Dodgers with two against the Angels then they are home for the Guardians and the Cubs so here is Josh Bell first and third two down and honeywell's first pitch is taken for a strike britek moves to second on defensive indifference and for Bell you know these are situations I'm sure as a player you're thinking two free RBIs if I can get a base hit here 01 and the screw ball missing low one ball one strike to count I thought you were talking Bell 0 for three two stri strikeouts and a walk so hid to a fielder's choice in that seventh inning right-hander ready and the 1-1 is in there for called strike it's now one and two Carol at third gritch at second seven run Edge for LA and honeywell's one-w Pitch is swung on and fouled away well I'll tell you what they at least made Peterson and Honeywell work for it Peterson over 20 pitches in his relief inning and now for Honeywell over 25 the onew pitch and Bell takes down low two balls and two strikes to count laid off that screw ball that time wasn't going to chase that's a good take and now the 22 guided foul fast ball at 95 second and third a chance to potentially cut this deficit down to five there a two two is two high ball three Full Count that's one way how you get back in games though getting walks that's what drives managers and pitching coaches just absolutely nuts I was about to ask you what do you think Dave Roberts is thinking right now and the 3-2 instead he steps off we have a mound visit on the same page here with copc getting loose in the bullpen forth the Dodgers you know the Roberts didn't want to get him up 3 two swung on and a ground ball face it in the right center field Carrol scores gring right behind him and Bell brings home two to make it 116 good a bat by Josh Bell finally got a pitch he can handle drilled it too to RBI base knock and that'll bring up Mark PRI out for Mount visit well the Diamondbacks candy the best offense from the seventh inning and Beyond and they have lived up to it two runs in the seventh one in the eighth two more in the ninth unfortunately the dodg on this particular day with eight runs in the seventh inning in Beyond three in the seventh five in the eighth and think about this for a second in the losses against the Dodgers the Diamondbacks scored nine runs and six runs they've scored six runs here today and they still are trailing by five Runner goes on defensive indifference paven Smith makes a called strike the offense definitely has not been a problem in this series for the Diamondbacks no it has not and now paven takes outside for ball one one ball one strike Steve zinsmeister standing by with diamond talk he'll break down this game and I'm sure give a recap on the series 1-1 and paven takes a strike good pitch there from Honeywell finally land the screw ball for a called strike and for the third consecutive hitter the Dbacks are down to their final strike in this series honey Wells one two he's in the dirt trying to get paven to chase his screw ball he was not biting on [Music] it two outs bottom of the the ninth two two count to pavin and the pitch from Honeywell is swung on that is a line drive to left field Hernandez makes the catch and the ball game is over the Dodgers win this one by a final score of 11 to6 they come into the desert they take three of four from Arizona and they clinch the tiebreaker over the Diamondbacks candy and I will wrap it up right after this in the Morgan and Morgan dbx radio network
