strikeouts for Reed de there is the 50/50 watch for Shi 44 home runs 46 stolen bases no one in the history of game has had those two numbers in the same season and 5050 is certainly in play for otan who now leads off for the Dodgers as the DH he grounds this one to the right side shaow well is over deur to cover beats Otani to the bag and there's one away yeah anytime you can keep showy Otani off the bases that's a A plus you got to redirect that Focus cuz now you got Mookie Betts coming up he lines one the left center field right there is Taylor Ward to make the catch two outs Freddy Freeman's been all over it lately he had a terrific Series in Arizona four home runs two of them yesterday it was his 20th career Two home run game Freeman tied up for ball four so the first base Runner comes on a two- out walk a guy who has been swinging a hot bat in fact he had five hits yesterday as teoscar Hernandez swing and a miss strike three a slider got him and the Dodgers are down on the top of the first no runs no hits no errors and one man Left Right Andrew was certainly out of his ups and downs this year Walker buer yeah trying to battle back from that second Tommy John and he's still pretty firm fast ball 9398 Al thr a cutter curveball sweeper slider first batter up for the Angels is Taylor Ward a two- popup from Ward bets calls for it in right's out number one Zack
