Los Angeles Dodgers VS A Diamondbacks inning 1-3 Game Highlights -MLB 8/30/2024-MLB Season 2024.

down the right field line into the corner bang an extra base hit to begin this series Otani into second with the well the plan for Zach Gallen was to throw the ball Hard Away to him make him beat you the opposite field but he does not miss it this is just put it on a te outer half by a ball and he rakes that into the corner without miles per hour so yeah so right awayuki has found himself in these situations a lot recently and all year especially since coming off of the injur list hitting five games grounds the first one he sees up the middle Pomo gets there Otani heads up to third one gone in this first inning Freddy Freeman to the plate Freddy Freeman into the F the number one hitter in park history at 371 takes the ball from Gallen the pain he was experiencing with his finger was tolerable but the Dodgers did not want a game it's probably a good idea well today he was able to do it all took batting practice on to do that and he'd been taking some swings in the cage and as you said ramping up to his full pregame work but hadn't done it with a full he said took him a few pictures like wow this is a whole lot different I've been you know taking swings but it's a whole lot different being out in an open Stadium than when you're out there in the cage on the [Music] field swings at a three 0 drives a fly come back Freddy Freeman two run home run Dodgers jump on gallon like [Applause] that he hit this one like that Freddy takes it to the opposite way his patented angle that he likes to hit the ball and this one's Got Back Spin home run in three weeks for Freddy Freeman Tas Hernandez watch the first pitch foul I asked him how's the finger and he said the few days off though weren't as much about the finger as they were just kind of a deep breath and a reset he said it has been all continues to go through with Max's Health struggles of course Jason Hayward is good buddy no longer this little break which he's not used to getting he didn't want to get but coming out of it he said said you know what I feel like this is going to be a good a marathon for him sometimes you don't until you do get that break and you go wow this is what it feels to be like normal two and two on Hernandez that can hit falling out of bed and he is one of them T work and a little bit of back hitting from that few days off because of the finger and he came back hitting from that Hernandez down on strikes first C for G second Bas number n look like a change up the fast balls face is empty two gone Gavin lucks The Hitter but it was the first time where he was in a slump or a mini slump or we didn't worry about him in a long long time Strike Zone he just wasn't getting his hits but at no time did all of a sudden you feel like like he's not going to hit again it's a base hit Lux hustling out of the box heads for second he'll get there standing a two out double for Gavin Live Well the Dodger lineup now that could be the lineup you see in the playoffs goes left right left right this is the first change up by a lefty that they've hit the other two guys hit the fast ball it's another sign that it's in gallon and doubles against him right here Unity we had yesterday off Wednesday remember we're talking about that little change that he was making focusing on keeping his hands higher in his and then hooks it to left center field guel is going to get there to catch it but still looking for his first hit since making that sure early runs for Clayton Kershaw he takes the ball when you come back Big League career game one of the now faces him for the first time since that was stuck in his mind he's going to have to come back from a shoulder surgery if he's going to have to if he's going to come back and Pitch but he just kept saying to himself that can't be How It Ends ccle Here making his seven start and his first one against that same team that gave him that rough night he went into that start need four or five starts to try and get ready for the playoffs for Domo to left field that's going to get to the wall and Bo Domo Clayton came out of that start against Arizona and went under the knife and we always know that his emotions are at a high even if he's a spring training start over there in Glendale or if he's in the big league game but so you said during the pregame show how do you channel that and I hope he channels it in a way to make the curveball sharp and the slider do slider right there for a strike he's very particular about his slider the speed of it the depth of it he wants it to be rid very good 88 with that slider right there a couple of ticks up 89 he feels like it's a nice change of speed from the fast ball which is now around 91 and then it creates more depth without that velocity tried to go back door with the slider gritch took it Clayton has throughout his whole career oh it's a one-w fly it's the first curve that he's to get [Applause] gritchen foro to third one away carbon C Dodgers with a great short stop there makes that play look routine but it was not at all curveball and do sweet contact right there he gave up one hit on his curveball his first five starts was really leaning on it but gave up a couple and that game against the rid is four runs in the first inning and it it was like one more hitter reaches you're probably going to see the bullpen get loose way to put his foot down and still go five innings in the game give up just one run from there and a no decision 32 pitches so we have seen it where he has that large pitch count inning and then comes back out and goes like seven pitches three outs on guel Kershaw deals gel takes a little bit low ball three like so many of these Diamondbacks hit or five at the end of May fourth in the National League hitting 309 since the start of June ball four four pitch walk from Kershaw first and third with one [Music] away the Baton unselfish at bats Dave Roberts getting a little feisty for his veteran Lefty on the mound Dodge was up two to nothing Arizona threatening though in the bottom of the first what makes this even more Marte Walker Moreno all on the injured list so that's why they got Josh Bell in the dirt one ball noer out and his like everybody swinging a hot bat fitting right in there's a strike one of one it's the throw when all of a sudden he gets the signal or calls it himself for the slider punch right center field that's going to get Arizona on the board Josh Bell with an RBI single to score her AO it is a jam shot it gets a lot of [Music] [Applause] [Music] handle two Runners aboard and Jake McCarthy's at the plate this has been a stunning Revival to McCarthy's career this year two but last year was so bad that he got sent down a couple times and was an afterthought to begin this year some of the injuries open the on ball one strike he's doing it without the peripheral of the hard hit percentage hour off the bat to be considered a hard hit ball I think he's probably hitting a lot of balls between 90 and 94 on a line of a change to his swing he'd tell you it's more about the swing decisions about the approach with a Havoc that he can wreak out there he's hitting like the Dodgers balls this year but he is hitting them where they're not opposite field line drives putting the ball in play giv himself a chance Jake hitters in the National League this year 327 against sou paw and he's a left-handed hitter against Kershaw you wouldn't feel good about and he hits him with a one two which would be the breaking ball against a left-handed hitter and pitching to The Scouting Report and what McCarthy has done this year something inside and up Mark Prior is out for a visit and we get a word from SOS [Applause] deals you know how sometimes you see somebody eat really well or did you do do something new with your hair they got a lineup full of those guys where it's like wait what changed glass saw them and that wasn't that long ago as early July he's got 20 at this point and he's driven in more runs than from this ballpark the ER is under three when he's in this ballpark the ra is almost four could use a strikeout right here here's his onew and it's grounded foul Clayton Colorado or wherever he is he's just trying to make pitches and make adjustments but this definitely as far as degree of here comes with another onew it's a curve it's hooked down the line foul you want to know how big this series is for these home fans and the Dodger fans that have traveled foul balls are bringing them to their feet more often than not it's mostly dodger blue and you don't hear a ton from Arizona fans but revved up by their surprise in on him shadow left field Here Comes Hernandez sliding try he's got it throw to the plate at [Applause] home makes a sliding grab now I'm not sure the run you have to tag up to get that run they can come back out and appeal oh he's t y he made it in time but is is should that be a timeing play the role in this over game is tied at two we got it both teams get two in the first inning Max Muny starts the bottom third of the Dodge order coming up here Edmond and roas to follow what a disjointed doing he's halfway to see if it's a catch or not the Umpire signal catch and he just continues on and gets doubled up gallon before on this one-1 pitch swings and misses it a curve Max at 5 extra in here that's a base hit which they've been racking up in bunches lately the Dodgers are hitting the ball hard they had three balls over 101 they hit were hit hard this one is probably not a hard hit ball but it is very close to a solid line drive finds a good so the Dodgers already with four hits against Gallen Tommy Edmond takes a change up low one ball no strikes after gallon G saying it's kind of been back and forth Good Start bad start coming off a good one getting hitters to chase having outstanding location with his fast ball and getting great results with the location and his best pitch has been his curveball that's just center cut there two 2 that's fine on the corner even when he's behind in the count loves to throw it up too and he feel like he had it dialed in at the top of the Zone against the red same window he's going going on a clock he's going for 12 with the he thought that it gotten too drastically down 126 wanted a little more tilt to it and so that's down against the righties and maybe a little bit more straight down to the lefties so it doesn't come into their sweet spot back to back singles to open this inning the first inning three extra base hits from the Dodgers in the first inning they only had four yesterday in the whole game and now yesterday that got the job done for the Dodgers Miguel roas was hitting fifth yesterday but pitch ninth and that's pretty good Line stop I wouldn't be surprised if he's buting right here we'll see what babe Roberts decides to do we were talking about this the other day but roas has kind of shelf bunting practice just as the game has gone away from it he's only got to ramp that work back up because he sees where his role is going to be hit ninth in a fully loaded lineup and he knows swings away ball on a strike ball on the next pitch sometimes you know there's a base steal at first but with Max Muny at second you would think Dave Roberts might even think about conventional from this point on both these starting pitchers having to really grind there's the typical gallon fast ball 96 about 6 in off the edge of the [Applause] plate first and second nobody out o Tony weight signed full last time the Dodgers saw Gall they made him throw 85 pitches in four what the league does four walks in those four innings back on the fourth of July 3-2 roas shoots another two strike hit in there consecutive base hits to open this second inning and the Dodgers are back in front talk to hit it where they ain't and it's not about hitting it always hard but just having nice solid at bats getting a pitch you can handle on the right side or the Major League average with two strikes is 168 the last three games the Dodgers are hitting it's playoff baseball right there putting the ball in play and giving yourself a chance don't rely on the Home Run cast is brought to you by the Nissan Rogue shop nissanusa.com Otani started this game with a double on the first so far chave was uh sick of being left out he's the only guy in the lineup yesterday without it gets hit on on the [Applause] elbow opad but the shock will get you plus there felt like there was a little message right there after a mound [Applause] visit be an interesting series if this kind of stuff round series four games is a long life to live with each other loaded up for Muki bets [Music] [Applause] there a home run against Gallen before leading the league in on base percentage fourth in slugging on an 01 pitch Betts takes ball [Applause] one similar recipe so far today as yesterday Dodgers didn't have a home run yesterday but had 14 hits two and one little bit of both in this game Freeman the two-run shot in the first inning and three consecutive singles to feels like there's anything that he can get a swing and Miss with he's trying to get them to chase very erratic I didn't think he wanted to throw Otani a first pitch strike after to hit him either here's a 3-1 Betts takes strike two last time he threw a fast ball there he tried to throw a slider out of the he off it's a breaker that's hung and pulled foul a fast ball he will still pull the trigger on anything another payoff pitch mookie bets pokes it to right center field Jake McCarthy's there but it'll bring home Tommy Ed so they're at the corners for Freddy Freeman in our te- Mobile coverage Camp his first at bat at homers the other way finger H hurt mostly when he was throwing in the field or throwing grounders to the That Swing he said he wasn't really sure this week he said hopefully I make enough good contact where I'm not going to find out but figured if he's getting r hand Pain Scale throwing when he first heard it like you mentioned that was by far the worst part of it so he had this play in the center field and he said I just got to deal with the pain cuz I can't do that I can't throw the ball like this discipline therez a lot of people will start delling their arm at the moment when you know the Pain's coming let the ball slip through and spin spin it off those are the pitches that have a chance to not feel good on his finger that gets kind of rattled in your hands there goes otan pitches in the dirt and Otani is stolen second 43rd for Otani he gets credit for the stolen base even though it's in the dirt gets [Applause] away stolen base total surpasses the home run total that the inside fast ball would hurt your finger the one off the end of the back can hurt just as bad you really want to hit the 6 in part of whole team's been hitting like Freddy Freeman with two one2 Chopper to First spell to the bag that'll get home the run from third and it's five to two and two innings Little T at third and two away here's Tasker Hernandez comes in ring an eight game on base streak top five in home runs 28 top five in runs batted in 87 no first time through the order for this Dodger offense six for nine three extra base hits three runs now we out RBI Oscar and Will Smith already the only three that haven't reached of July when he needed 80 pitches to get through four 29-year-old from New Jersey six season in the big leagues ready for a two- two to hernand fall Zach there's not a lot of deception in his delivery the mystery for him is what is he going to throw and where's he going to put change up gets Hernandez finish off the Dodgers in the second but they played three he's missed over his last six seasons Corbin Carrol leads off this inning against Clayton Kershaw deep down the line towards the pole and gone more the same from Corbin car over the last 22 [Applause] [Music] [Applause] games slow curve ball and it doesn't make it to the outside corner it's got real good depth but he not a good sign as we watch this replay Clayton Kershaw is walking off the [Music] mound you hold your breath and your heart breaks cve ball that's as slow of a pitch as you'll ever see him throw when Dave Roberts walks off the mound pretty much like he knows why Dave's coming Joe Kelly's going to injury but there are real no signs other than him being removed you don't want to speculate Joe he just my heart just is killing me right for him you're seeing the look on his face yeah that's hard Kelly begins to warm P will have a big load to carry in this game in the second inning they take over Bullpen the last 10 games best in baseball boy against the Oriol they don't win that Series without this Bullpen being as good as they were Ori got even better A lot of big arms down in that Bullpen the Dodgers were challenged over the last three weeks by the San Diego Padres and by the Arizona Diamond Dodgers stayed right with them as far as the results in the wind l column and a lot of it came because of the pitching staff and the bullpen Kell second number 5-3 ball game Kevin Newman to the plate started in second base with catel Marte Joe gave up two his last time out he had had a few scoreless outings PRI two balls and no strikes 28 not gone more than an inning so this will really just be this inning here and it's going to be quite a relay race eight runs on nine hits for these teams 10 hits for these teams go 96 97 96 seven and gives up a little Jam shot right [Music] [Applause] here you haven't really like we've seen in past years where he's used the breaking ball to throw for strikes and then the up fast ball to get people out sporadic Dodgers up five feels like they had a gut punch and Clayton had to leave the game they're going to have to regain some focus and some intensity herrera's up there showing bun a little bit low one ball one this is another spot with they're without a star player Gabriel Mareno and it's another spot where they've had somebody show up and be just as good and even better herrera's not necessarily been that but it's in baseball since they brought him up Herrera typically catches gallon though so that's why he's in there [Applause] [Music] today have not been close there's strike he earned it and he got it and he strikes him out MTA the inside corner and they the last two were both strikes hey if they gets tomorrow LA area Jack in the Box restaurants it's a hard team to strike out they've kind of devel and they finish those tough at bats with Slug and once they get on relentless on the bases I just I mean I knew that there were guys underperforming and there probably arrows going to be pointing up but I didn't see this coming when everybody's arrows pointed down you don't expect everybody then to just reverse it I think that's the most surprising thing for everybody to do it first time around the order team goes six for n started this game with a double HE2 is hot 320 over the last months going 97 98 down to 88 [Applause] [Music] Newman at first one away two [Applause] gone well the right jack Peterson instead of Randall gritch Jock's having a career year for a lot of the Season as all those guys were struggling she's fourth in slugging at the age of 32 he can hit anybody's fast ball so Joe Kelly has been showing the change up got the some of that soft stuff for jock and then go all the way up the ladder on him not not up for a strike cuz Jo a long conference s on track with Arizona all jock said he could think about during free agency was postseason baseball how do I get back to the postseason you reach the playoffs all seven years with the Dodgers and last couple first of all have an impact team that needs me but also where can I go and feel like I got a shot to play in October [Applause] again on a one pitch from Joe Kelly Peterson takes a strike career year with those 21 home run 60 RBI in that very lofty batting average for him The Stance and every Kelly Arizona Raves about the presence he's been in the clubhouse gained all those postseason runs decade in the big leagues now for Jack Peterson [Music] that is not payback for the Otani [Music] beaning you ready for a double header DOD a three hitter coming up walked and scored a run in the first inning which feels like it was forever ago but it was last nice pitch strike one feels like a Yankee Red sock game pre- pitch clock it's been a hit batter on both sides 97 pitches so far and we're just in the second one Quinn Walcott make sure the hitters attentive before you come set [Music] fit for this group it's pretty businesslike group overall but he's a fun personality keeps it light team loved him quickly flies it to Center for Edmond Arizona strands a couple in the second [Applause] inning the zero emissions Toyota marai is the best deal on the planet $225,000 in TFS Finance cash a $155,000 fuel card and access is the best deal on the planet

disseminated stream every out of Market game live or on demand plus us subscribers now have TV for details Dodgers got two in the first they got three in the second now 5-3 ball game as Gallen faces off with Gavin luxs a much different attack against Gavin Lux from opposing pitchers who were typically pounding him in first half of this season but that that's where he got hot he started turning on those balls in and hitting around 400 against pitches in So lately he's been seeing burning thinking middle of the field more sometimes boils it down as simple as I'm not swinging if it's one gone Will Smith and we've got an update on Clayton kersha with left big toe pain so I think as much as we are hoping to get more information I think it can give you a little bit of a deep breath just knowing wow that is good news that is really good news news based off of how it saw it almost feels like you're waiting for the punch line here but yeah and you know in a time when guys would foul balls off their foot and all of a sudden you go okay we got an issue with a toe but very rarely have we seen pitching or covering first covering first maybe jam it a little bit on the bag something happens where you get stepped on over there by the the Run that's a walk for Smith first one issued by Gallas well takes a little bit of the uh the Paw that seems to be hanging over this place away well whatever it is with the toe you just hope it's minor and it's you know Miss a side work not a start we're getting down in 31 days Dodgers are starting to get healthy in all departments Gall Muny with a one pitch that's a strike it winds up looking like the tow is some is any sign of anything wrong well if there's anybody on the roster that wants to return to the playoffs and redeem themselves it's Clayton back from major shoulder surgery and then start pitching and being effective going into the playoffs you hope for his ability and sentimental feelings that it's not serious 62 pitches and he's got five outs to go to complete four and it was 85 pitches on July 4th and it's back to back walks in the national league if you can be disciplined against him it can go like this yeah his tra CH Chase rate 4th it was around 28% almost cut in half strike on Tommy Edmond singland scored last inning and is three for his last f in the last couple of games have really gotten used to creating traffic last night they had 18 base runners over the nine inning one out in the [Music] third two on with one out ow and two on Edmond whose base hit came with two strikes not this time though back door curve gets him looking third on that left but that were he back doored that to the Lefty the two out CH average up to 291 popped in the left center field guriel and mccarth bottom of the third Josh Bell leads off and takes a ball from Joe Kelly Bell had a 644 Ops he was in Miami they told him at the All-Star break nobody come to the field everybody go home turn it off you know take a little break but he's so he flies in the guy that knows his swing best his dad and they spend four days in a row since that week with that his Ops is above 900 flexes the Bott to center field and he's kept it rolling has not hit the ball hard yet but he and dad got to make it contact at least well it is not going to reach [Music] Edmond lead off man on here's McCarthy fixing swings for Gavin Lux at second you relatives come on in that's it takes a village his dad have been workout partners for a long time mentioned that he knows a swing better than anybody you may have seen in arms competitive bodybuilder type setup still he was a football mostly just passed on the athleticism the hard work that [Applause] is Joe hits him with his 27th pitch no th it's the 28th pitch and that's his season high was learning that change up grip he broke a window at his house this one would have just hit the garden the arm side right through a window McCarthy's been hit both times first and second the third what a weird game this has been Torres tries to lay off but he goes around fouls it straight back going [Music] two Joe needs two guys that he's hit with two strikes jock on the foot and then the last one a pulled change up onew from Kelly is pulled to third mun's got it low throw to Second Lux grabs and turns to [Applause] first max tries it to get it to Gavin in a hurry nice job with the backand getting it over there speed of the ground ball speed of the feed and Gavin do a nice job around the pivot so Bell third and two gone for Carol who did it again homered again yeah it takes ball One from Kelly did it did it again in this short term did it again against Clayton Kershaw he's now six for in the speed of the pitch at 67 with Clayton's left toe not maybe be able to push off and create some two and0 on Carrol Corbin W going in talking to toy lto confiding in him and saying look this is Weighing on me cuz I feel like this all takes a four pitch walk here lll said you can't think of it that way you just got to play well but there was some truth in that cuz he has played better and they have won [Music] Kevin desperate times calling for desperate measures with the early exit from Kershaw this is already eight more pitches than Kelly's thrown at any point this year and you've ball on Newman Zack Gallen posted his first zero in the top is trying to post a zero for the Dodgers where Arizona got two in the first one in the second none so far here with two out oh ball two pitch counts high for him this season B at third Carol seven straight misses Alex [Music] vessia in command and understandable most pitches that he's thrown in a game in seven [Music] here it comes to the 3-1 after check on car of the year he wasn't on base but after he stole 54 as a rookie just 21 this year years yeah that wasn't with a pitch clock these are harder mhm that is a b and the run will score it's a third disengagement and automatically [Music] I think that's the first time in two years I've seen a third disengagement some of that fatigue pushing that limit and you're breathing hard and you're not thinking clearly [Applause] [Music] and he might have forgot that you know freebie like we're having trouble with this and need to replace [Applause] it Will Smith out to buy a little time for vesa that was a mistake welcome to Jo the and uh think going to continue to hope that he can do that it's the nine hitter Jose Herrera coming up not fun times down there right now three more coming outside for a ball [Applause] no swing ball [Applause] two since his last start in
