Dodgers winners of each of the first two games of this series. Dodgers also attempting to make it eight consecutive victories and in those seven wins to this point. They’ve outscored the opposing team 63 runs to 25. So the Dodgers set to go. Braves have taken the field. Here’s Dave Roberts starting lineup.

At first base, Deioscar Hernandez is in right. At third base, Maxy. Andy Pahz is in center. TK Hernandez starts at second base. Michael Conoro is in left field and batting ninth. And doing the catching is Austin Barnes. 6’6 right-hander Dustin May on the mound. His sixth start of the season. He faced the Braves on April Fool’s Day at Dodger Stadium. He went five innings, allowed just one run on one hit, and that hit was a home run. He walked three and struck out six. Bryce Elder, the 25-year-old right-hander on the mound for the Atlanta Braves. Young firing assignments. Brian Addington will work the plate to fill the balls of strikes. Group chief Lance Barksdale is at first, Willham firing at second, and Ryan Willis is over at third. So, the Dodgers left the ballpark at 2:00 a.m. last night after rain delay. Be a late arrival into Miami tonight. Happy to have you with us. Dodgers going to sleep here in Atlanta. Go to the Braves.

Dodgers in their traveling road grays. Los Angeles across the chest in the series. Red numerals in front and the Braves in their traditional home whites with the red piping and Braves and script across the chest underlined by the tomahawk. Baby blue caps and the red Bills. Elder ready to go. He winds in the first pitch of the ball game as a strike called and it came at 710 Eastern time. 65° the game time temperature brought to you by Bank of America, the official bank of the Los Angeles Dodgers. Next offer comes in outside. One ball and one strike to show. Otani homerred last night. He swings and misses at a slider here and it’s one and two. 293 the average to start the night for Otani. Eight homers and 11 runs batted in. Otani with a two strike count. One ball, two strikes. Infield shifted over to the right and the pitch. That’s way inside. Two balls, two strikes. Sixth start of the season for Bryce Elder, who’s one and one. We’ll throw out this baseball. And I have a theory on that. No, you do. With two strikes, you can’t be looking for a breaking ball, but he wanted a different baseball for a reason. Two two strike three called. He got a sinker up high right at the very top of the strike zone. Otani goes down looking and there’s one away. Well, the Dodgers know Elder. I mean, Dustin May, as we mentioned, faced Atlanta in LA on April 1st, and then Elder the next night, went four innings, three runs on three hits, and two of the three hits were home runs. Conforto and Edmund left the yard. Betts takes the first pitch from Elder inside ball one. A little high. Boy, we got a nice night for it tonight. Blue skies, comfortable temperatures. pitch outside and it’s 2 and 0. Lot different than the last two nights. Sunshine on the field right now. Shadows two. Rookie takes a strike. Two and one. Bets has been hot last six games. 10 for 25 hitting .400. Three extra base hits including a home run. 10 runs batted in and he fouls one off to the right and out of play. his home run came in game one Friday night here. They had proved to be the deciding run in that two to1 Dodger win. Holder throws out another baseball. He has been picky already as to the baseballs that he might be throwing. Second time he’s done it with a two strike count pitch to two and it’s a slider swung on and missed and Mookie strikes out. Two away. Well, get ready for the slider. We mentioned the pregame show for Elder, who’s not a hard thrower. He averages 91.2. He’s topped out at 94 so far, but he throws that slider about 35% of the time. Also has a change up. Freddy Freeman, who’s hit an eight straight, 338 the average, homered last night, hit his 73rd home run at truest part. He’s among the all-time leaders in this ballpark. Ronald Akuna Jr. has the most homers here. One ball and one strike to Freeman. And Freeman is actually tied with the Braves designated hitter Marcelo Zuna with 73 home runs in this yard. Next offer outside a four seamer at 94. Two balls and a strike. Freddy enters the game tonight with a 338 batting average. Here’s a pitch way up high with a fast ball. Three and one to Freeman. Two outs. Base is empty. Top of the first inning. Free ball, one strike pitch is in for a called strike. A slider. And the countful. Three and two. The payoff pitch from Elder. Swung on and strike three. Second time in three games that the Dodgers top of the order has struck out in the top of the first as Elders strikes out the side. Half inning done at Truis Park in Atlanta, Georgia. The score, the Dodgers nothing and the Braves coming to bat. Great moments in baseball have been broadcast on the radio since 1921.

Start streaming MLB Network. Justin May has taken the hill for the Dodgers. No score. Bottom of the first inning. Alex Verdugo, Austin Riley, and Marcelo Zuna. The first three hitters for Atlanta. At Children’s Hospital Los Angeles, groundbreaking research meets worldclass expertise and treatment. US News and World Report once again is named Chla the number one hospital in California. Learn more today at chla.org. Here is May’s sixth start of the season. Last time out against Miami allowed three earned runs on the 28th of April. Five hits and five in a third innings pitch. Came away with a no decision. And Verdugo 302 hitter since joining the Braves. Takes low and in ball one. Verdugo has settled in nicely to the leadoff spot and left field position. A place where they were rather light. The absence of Ronald Lucuna Jr. who would normally play right field, but they would have Eli White more than likely or even Steuart Fairchild play left field. Strike called. One ball and one strike. Originally signed a minor league contract after not getting a job out of spring training. Here’s a 1-1 outside two-1. Left-handed batters hitting 194 against May. They’re 12 for 62. Bets playing towards second base. Right side of the infield deep. Here’s the pitch. Swung on. Fisted foul and out of play. Third base side. Two balls, two strikes to Alex Verdugo. Buster May coming back from the surgeries he’s had. We have seen it drop off in velocity by design or not. He’s averaged 94.5 mph. Last pitch was right at 95. Two two on the way from the big right-hander and it swung on and lifted foul out of play again down the third base side into the second deck. Braves trying to get it going. I mean, they’re four games below the 500 mark, 14 and 18, and they they start today fourth place in the Eastern Division. It’s the Mets, the Phillies, the Nationals, and then the Atlanta Braves. May steps back, turns, and delivers home. Throws a center inside. Three and two. Full count to Verdugo. Certainly May wants to be efficient with his pitch count tonight. Getting into too many deep counts like he is right now in the first batter he faces. 3-2 pitch and that is low ball four and he has walked the lead off man. That’s just not the way obviously to start off a ball game. The last outing May went five and a third. That was that game Miami you were talking about but it took him 83 pitches to get through five and a third. As far as the walks are concerned, Mo, that’s his 13th walk. Seven of his 13 walks are leadoff walks. Verdugo leads it first. And here’s Riley, the third baseman. Right-handed batter, takes a strike at the knees. And you’ll see a lot of sinkers and a lot of sweepers. If he gets the ball down, we get a lot of ground balls. He’s got great movement on the pitches, but he has to get them around the strike zone. Oh, one pitch to Riley. a check swing foul ball and it’s 0 and two outfield playing him straight up. Andy Pah out there checking his his scouting part in his back pocket and he’s not particularly deep either. Slight breeze going in the direction of left field stretch by Dustin May in the O2 and Riley swings and fouls it back. Right-handed batter is hitting 250. They’re 10 for 40 against it. Riley at 286. He looks at a pitch up high. One ball, two strikes to Austin Riley. One other game going on. Usually this is the only game going on in Major League Baseball, but the Mets and Cardinals rained out yesterday, so they had to play a double header today. And the second game is going on right now. They’re in the bottom of the third inning, tied at four. Everything else is final, including the Padres’s completing a sweep of the Pirates in Pittsburgh. 4 nothing today. The Dodgers now a game in front of San Diego to start this one tonight. Riley hammers one deep left field. This ball’s out of here. Two nothing Atlanta. A sweeper hung right over the middle of the plate and Austin Riley just crushed it. It’s the first right-hander to get a home run off of Dustin May this season. And for the first time in the series, the Braves strike first. The old adage is you hang them, they’ll bang them. And that is every ounce of a hanging breaking ball on a onew pitch. Just a flat breaking ball. Everybody talks about the sweeper, but the problem is sweepers stay in the same plane as the swing. And this one for way too long period of time. Nobody out. Starting over now with the bases clear is Dustin May facing Marcelo Zuna. Right-handed hitting designated hitter. It’s a flyball foul down the right side and up in the seats. There’s a difference between a sweeper and a flat curveball. And this one was flat and it was flattened when it was hit. May peering over the webbing of his glove, shrugs his shoulders, now winds and deals the 01 to Ozuna. Fouls it on the ground up the first base up as first base coach Tom Goodwin from the big league outfielder. to say goody good. He’ll answer you. He could really run when he was playing. Hill can really run. Here’s the O2 and Ozuna waves and misses at the sweep where he strikes out. One down for Atlanta. Matt Olsen has been getting on base at a great clip. He’s been able to reach in 20 straight games. His career best is 21 straight games. This streak started back on the 11th of April against Tampa Bay. Handed batter up, one out, nobody on. Two nothing Atlanta. And the breaking ball is in for a strike. The Braves scoring first. And when they do that, their record is seven and five. Not really lopsided one way or another. Oh, one pitch from Dustin May. Swung on. hit in the air to center field. Andy P has broke back. Now he recovers and drifts over toward left center field. Makes the catch for the second out. And you know what the Dodgers have to do? They will have to come back for their 14th time to turn a deficit into a victory. No other team has had that many come from behind victories to this point of the season. Well, when trailing in a game, the Dodgers have a major league best record of 13- 10. of 13 come comeback wins. Pitch a strike to Azie Albby. Switch hitter batting left. Alb’s homered in last night’s game. Also turned into a three for four performance with two other base hits. 01 pitch to Albi. Swinging a ground ball right side. Kik Hernandez to his glove side left. Scoops it up. Short throw to first and that takes care of that. But some damage done. A walk and a home run. And Austin Riley hits it out after Verdugo walks. And we’re through an inning at Truest Park in Atlanta. The score, the Braves two, Dodgers nothing. When you want Dodgers, the only home is AM570 LA Sports. Every Dodgers legend started out as a take a hack at guessing which baseball player or manager said the following. I really don’t know what to say. I’m just uh so happy I gave something. These people cheer. We all did. I mean, it was a great game. Both teams played incredible. was a great game.

Albo Taco in two Atlanta will follow the to face right-hander Bryce Elder. Top of the second is brought to you by Budweiser. The fist buds for you. an elder ready to climb up on top of the hill to Oscar with different colored cleats on tonight. I’m going to let you guess what color they are, Mo. Strike call. Right. What would you say? Right. They’re kind of a a hot pink, I guess. And the pitch down low. One ball and one strike to Oscar Hernandez. Well, it’s real close to the uh orange traffic cones you see on streets. Little off the end of the bat toward the first base side. Matt Olsen over there. He grabs an underhand toss to Elder covering. 3-1 the put out. One away. Maxy 184. One home run, five runs batted in. 18 out of 98. So we’ll get to 100 of bats more than likely tonight. The Dodgers have won the previous five meetings, all five this year. They’ve never ever swept the Braves in a season series. They’ve come close a couple of times, but have never gone undefeated against the Braves during the regular season. Trying to do that here tonight. 5-0 this year. And during the five meetings, the Dodgers have plated at 27 runs on 39 hits, averaging almost five and a half runs a game. Ball on a strike to Max Muny. Elder winds, kicks, steals, and Muny fouls it back. Pass away at 93 for Elder. fast ball sinker slider 35% of the time and the change up one-two pitch from Elder Muny has to jump to get out of the way of an inside pitch two and two you and I have talked about in in this series and and really in winning seven straight Dodgers from a hitting standpoint have been selective of pitches they have not been expanding the strike zone a great deal 2-2 on the way on looks at strike three. Slider caught plenty of plate and was above the knees. Fourth strikeout of the ball game for Bryce Elder so far. He’s only faced five hitters. [Music] Here’s Andy PZ. Two men out, nobody on. PZ 269 average. Elder sends one home and Andy swings sends it down to short. Nick Allen onehands it, throws to first and the Dodgers retired in order for the second straight inning. 1, two, three, they go through an inning and a half in Atlanta. It’s the Braves two Dodgers nothing’s best. The real home of the Dodgers. Take a hack at guessing which baseball player or manager said the following. I really don’t know what to say.

Coming up, Michael Harris II, the center fielder. Then the right fielder, Eli White, and the catcher, Drake Baldwin, who has not appeared in the series until tonight. So May Wise, the high leg kick, pitch, swung on, fouled back, and that is strike one. That three-hour rain delay last night fit right into the schedule. have a night game tonight, Mo, especially since the first buses left at 2 am from the stadium. Night. Ground ball up the middle. That’s a base hit. Well, the ludaf man for the Braves has been aboard in each of the first two innings. Harris can run a little bit. He has six stolen bases. Eli White can also run. comes up from the right side and he’ll stand in with a 308 average. May out of the stretch and he gets ready to go. Pitch is in there for a strike. Runner goes and no contest at second base. Michael Harris with a huge jump steals his seventh base of the season. Yeah. Well, we expect a kind of a track meet. One because Dustin May takes a long time getting the ball to catcher and the other part two is Austin Barnes had difficulty making the throw down to second base. Nothing and one to Eli White. May looks back at the runner at second base. Kicks, comes home and he spins one up there inside for a ball. One ball, one strike. Vah playing a couple of steps toward right center field. Oscar Hernandez not too deep in right. Pitch swung on. Fouled off the netting over by the Braves dug out on the first base side. The pitching has been able to shut down the Braves in spots like this each of the first two games of this series. Atlanta just one for 11 with runners in scoring position. Dodgers are five for 10 hitting at 500. One ball, two strike offer. Sweeper down low. Two and two. Been beautiful bright blue skies here this evening in Atlanta. Lights are on but not really taking any effect yet. Here’s a 2-2. Sweeper swung on and missed. He struck him out. Big break on that sweeper. Second strike out by May with one on and one out. Here’s Drake Baldwin. One will say the lights are on and nobody’s home. They’re not home because they’ve been here. This is probably going to be the third sellout of this series. Looks very much like it. And the first pitch to the left-handed hitting catcher Baldwin cut on and missed. They started him with a two seam fast. 0 and one. Harris leads at second base pitch. That’s up high and away. One ball in one strike. Yeah, really good crowd here tonight. a lot of times on Sunday Night Baseball because uh you know typically people look way at the beginning when the times are announced sometime in the offseason before the season begins and sometimes these Sunday night times change based on television claiming their games. Another strike into Baldwin a sweeper taken and it’s one and two. Sometimes in certain stadiums, you don’t always get a full house. But they’re packed here again tonight. Stretch look at second. May ready to come home. And he fires the one, two, trying to come in through the back door and missed. Two balls, two strikes. Drake Baldwin, John Murphy, the regular catcher with the night off tonight. And here comes the two- two on the way from Dustin May one poke to left. Pretty deep going back after it. Conforto. He dives and makes the catch right on the warning track. Well, Harris was halfway. He was thinking he was going to get home. He has to go back to second base, but a terrific defensive play by Michael Conorto. Records the second out of the second inning. That is just an allout effort. And Conforto turning to his right going back and boy he made the leap and a backhanded catch then has to hold on to it when he collides to the ground just in front of the warning track. What a catch. Number nine hitter. The shorts stop Nick Allen. Right-handed batter. Check swing foul into the first base dugout. The balls had one strike to Allen hitting 278. No home runs. Seven runs batted in. Allen had a double in a run batted in last night. Yeah. And he just counted his fingers cuz that was a severe jam shot on that foul ball. Now the 01 from Dustin May. Strike call on the outside corner just above the knee. Okay. So you jam him with a fast ball. He fouls it off. Has to count his knuckles. Then you throw a fast ball right by him. You come back with a heater again. Throw it past him. Let’s see here. 02. Oh, sweeper. Yeah, but why would you throw a breaking ball when he’s already shown you he cannot catch up with your fast ball. And by the way, that was a sweeper right down the middle. He was lucky he fouled fouled the pitch back. You know, how many times do you see a guy throw a ball down the middle and say, “Well, he got away with it.” And that happens often in games, maybe more than you think. 02 fouled off to the right. There’s another fast ball and he’s late on the swing. I I go back I’m still wondering why on earth you would throw him a breaking ball much less he wasn’t trying to throw it down the middle but you’ve jammed a guy then you’ve got a late swing throw him a breaking ball then you come back with a fast ball he gets jammed late swing again don’t come back breaking ball here two odds Harris at second two nothing Atlanta here is the 02 pitch from May swung out fouled back and he went with a sweeper he went with a breaking ball it’s a better swing and he’s not He’s not shown he can handle the fast ball. Not the good one. Taps home plate. Draws the bat back and waits. Harris leads at second. Infield back. Two down stretch and the 02 pitch. Swung on and missed. He got him with a sweeper. So the third strike out for Dustin May for Atlanta in the second. No runs, one hit. One man left. No Dodger errors. As we go to the third, it’s Atlanta 2 and the Dodgers nothing. LA’s best sports star. That’s a good endorsement there. AM570 LA Sports.

And Elder fires and Kik hits it up in the air to right center field. Lei White drifting over to his right. He’ll make the catch on the move for out number one in the Dodger third. Hey friends, MLB is partnering with the Crisis Text Line to help increase mental health awareness. It’s important and it’s in free. It’s open 24/7 confidential support in English and in Spanish. So text MLB to 741741. That’s MLB741741. One out and Michael Conforto takes a strike. Confordto with an incredible play to retire Drake Baldwin last half inning. And Dave Roberts was asked during his media session today in the dugout about Conforto and his struggles at the plate. Swinging a foul back and it’s 0 and2. And Dave just said, “Look, I’m confident running him out there every day.” He said he’s my pick to click and he’s it’s going to happen for him. But right now he’s been really struggling. Starts the night hitting 144. He’s only 14 for 97. 02 pitch and Conoro strikes out looking on a slider inside. Fifth strike out for Bryce Elder. Elder has made it look easy. Well, starting to look like what Friday night looked like here with Brandt Holmes on the mound. Holmes struck out a career-high nine in that one. And to this point in the game, he also had five strikeouts. It’s almost a carbon copy. Two men out. Austin Barnes, the batter. And Barnes takes a strike. Elder out of the University of Texas delivers. And Barnes swings, hits it to right field. White might have misjudged it. He does. It’s over his head, bounces off the track and off the wall. And into second base is Austin Barnes. Well, that was just poorly played by White. Broke in, then went back, but just drifted back on the ball. You can tell by his reactions right now. Head down, he knows that he missed a golden opportunity. They really have not that difficult of a play. Turned it into a double. And for Barnes, his third double of the season. This brings up Otani. He is the tying run. Braves leading at two nothing here in the third. First pitch is outside. A sinker. Want to know Shi. You struck out looking first time up. Utani standing tall. Hands out over the plate. The pitch outside and low. Two balls in no strike. Good count now for Otani. Allen the short stop playing right up the middle. Stretching the pitch. And that was a good pitch. It was a slider over the outer half but caught a lot of the plate. Called a strike. Two and one to show. That’s actually it’s a good pitch to take cuz that that was a pitcher’s pitch. Started outside, barely got the corner. 2-1 on the way now to Otani outside. Three and one again. An advantage count for the hitter here. Right side of the infield playing deep. Their heels touching the outfield grasp. Practical pitch outside. Ball four. And the tying runs aboard for Mookie Betts. Otani wants. It’s amazing. Otani has not had that many advance this year. I mean, eight home runs, 11 RBI, haven’t been a whole lot of people on base, but when there are people on base and scoring position, boy, did they pitch to him differently. They do. Talk about cautious. Well, the way that Elder attacked him with nobody on in his first at bat and the way that he pitched him here. Now, Moetsz hits a ground ball down to third base. Riley picks it up, throws the first and that’s that. Dodgers will leave two. No, one hit. That was Barnes double. And at the end of two and a half innings, it’s Atlanta 2 Dodgers nothing. 570 LA. Eric Dickerson here from my favorite spot in the desert. Spotlight 29. When you’re in the Coachella battle, nobody brings you the big hits, all the greats.

That’s Mike Piaza after he hit an eighth inning go-ahead home run in the first New York Mets home game after 911. Hear moments like this and more on the MLB app and MLB.com. Let’s see if you can figure out the following baseball slang term. Today’s phrase is apo taco. Do you know what it means? Albo Taco a home run hit to the opposite field with Taco. His 13th and it’s a one-run game. Expand your vocabulary by listening to every game on the MLB app and MLB.com. Moments in baseball have been broadcast on the radio since 1921. Smith Clarks wanting him to right down the line. It may go. Go crazy, folks. Go crazy. It’s a home run and the Cardinals have won the game by the three to two. Atlanta Braves leading the Dodgers two nothing. Bottom of the third and eight. Top of the order back up for Atlanta against Dustin May. It’s Alex Verdugo, Austin Riley, and Marcel Ozuna. Verdugo walked and scored. He got the ride home for free on the home run by Austin Riley. Left-handed batter, open stance, looks out at May. May steps back, kicks, fires, and he snaps one in there for a strike. A two seamer at 93. After the rain, the three-hour 6 minute delay, I’ve got good news for you. There’s only 1% chance of precipitation right now in the area. So, you’re saying there’s a chance. Here’s the 01 pitch now. And Verdugo lets it go high. One ball, one strike. One and one to Alex Verdugo. There’s the pitch in for a strike call. One ball in two strikes. Well, that’s good. That’s a better forecast than he gave me last night. Last night the official forecast was ugly. It was Sunday, you said. Yes. Here’s a one-two now to Verdugo. He’ll swing and hit it up the middle. Base hit. Three straight innings. The leadoff man has been aboard for Atlanta. At PM, when the Dodgers steal a base at home, you score a free hot dog. And in the 12 oz slim Coca-Cola. Redeem your free feast in the AMM app. Let’s play ball. AM. Too much good stuff. One on. Nobody out. Austin Riley back up. Stretch by May. He sends a pitch inside right near the belt buckle of Riley. Riley had the jack knife to get out of the way. Riley hit a hanging sweeper right over the middle out his last time up. Pitch swung on. Fisted foul back to the back stop. One ball, one strike to Riley. Yeah. Different swing in that fast ball in his hands, wasn’t it? Well, that’s the weapon that Dustin has. He’s got that two seamer and he can get that armside run by getting it in under the hands of the hitter. and he throws it there. And this one’s blasted to center field over towards slight left center. It’s gone. Austin Riley’s done it again. His second two-run home run. It’s four to nothing Atlanta. It was a sweeper. It was hung over the middle again. And Riley just hammered. Well, I’m surprised that Dustin May, we just got through talking about coming inside. You tie up a hitter, late swing or foul ball, and you follow it up with a breaking ball right down the middle. He’s been burned twice. Marcel Ozuna comes up with the bases clear and nobody out. Strike one delivered to him on a sinker. scores. Riley four, Dodgers nothing. Does he hit two two bombs? That one 416 ft. Pitch swung on a ground ball through the open hole in the right side. That’s a base hit. Marcelo Zuna has his first hit of the night. Three straight hits against Dustin May here in the third. [Music] again for May. The Dodgers need some length out of him because tomorrow the bullpen’s going to get taxed. We don’t know who’s going to start tomorrow, but we do know that Ben Kasparius is supposed to have the bulk innings in the game. Whether he starts or whether he comes in in relief still remains to be seen, but that all depends on what happens here tonight. How the bullpen gets used or has to be used. Right now, the Dodgers have fallen behind four nothing. When the Braves score four or more runs in a game this year, their record is 14-4. That’s been a positive trend for them, but it’s been all Austin Riley tonight. Dustin May has given him two really hitable pitches and he has not missed. Ozuna at first, very short lead and the batter is Matt Olsen. Pitch outside ball one. And the Dodger offense needs to get going. The only hit for the Dodgers belongs to Austin Barnes. And it’s only because the right fielder misjudged a fly ball. One pitch back door strike called. One ball, one strike to Olsen. Austin Riley. It is his eighth career multi home run game. And a one-1 pitch from May. That’s up high. Two balls and a strike. Olsson fly to center his first time up. Braves first base peeking out at Dustin May. May checks the runner at first, but Ozuna is almost as close to first as Freddy Freeman is. The pitch swan foul tipped into the glove of Barnes for a strike. If you’re a base runner, and Ozuna is not really built for for speed, but if you’re a base runner, you can kind of figure out Dustin May, his breathing pattern as he comes set, he takes a deep breath right before he comes out of the stretch position. Next offer outside, full count, three and two. So, if you’re really studying him closely, how much you study the breathing pattern and what’s the what’s the pacing of it? It appears to be the same. May set at the belt. Payoff pitch to Olsen. Swung on line drive right at Kik Hernandez. He’ll throw to second and get the out. There was uh and throws to first. Well, Kik thought maybe it skipped. So, he threw to second to get the force out. They threw her to first base and Marcelo Zuna standing there and the first base umpire Lance Bartdale said he was safe. Either way, they got one out out of it. I don’t know. TK, I think, tried to sell the double play. He did catch that ball in the air. That was simply a line out to the second baseman for Matt Olsen. It’s a good play. Go ahead and make the play. Let the umpire sort it out. Right. Aussie Albby is batting left-handed. Takes the ball away. Olsson wasn’t really running out of the box either. DK decided to let that ball accidentally fall out of his glove. They might have had to one pitch and that’s up high. But the other thing too, Tim, that was an out. There’s not been but one ball that was hit that you can even consider somewhat soft. That was the ground ball to the right side of the infield by Ozun. Everything else been hit hard. Two pitch from May Albes takes it away. Count goes to three and0 on Aussie Alders. One down, one on. 4 nothing Braves in the bottom of the third. May settles on the hill. First base side of the rubber. Kicks and fires. And he’s walked Albus in everything outside. goes down to first. Ozuna walks over to second base. First and second, one out. Michael Harris the second coming up. Well, things are not going very swimmingly to say the least for Dustin May in this ball game. Mark Brier, the pitching coach, will come out and have a word in the bound visit brought to you by Jacobe and Meyers because everyone deserves justice. Well, the mix is not good at all. 56 pitches, 38 strikes. On the flip side of the coin, Elder in three innings has made 39 pitches and 25 have been for strikes. Strike percentage better. A couple of things very quickly. I mentioned, you know, okay, pitch selection. Pitch selection has been interesting. Repeatability on the deliveries has not been consistent, at least in what we’ve seen. Two on, one out. Paris had a single in the second inning. Stole second. Not being held on. Freeman playing behind him. That’s playing behind Ozuna, but now backs off. And the pitch to Harris low in for a ball. You remember May throwing this many breaking pitches? No. No, I mean his sinker has been tremendous, but he’s really relying on the sweeper. There’s a ground ball. Deflects off of May. Kik gets it to Muki. Throw to first. Safe at first, but Kik without with not a clean exchange. If he has a clean exchange, they get the double play, but they do get the one out in the middle. And there are runners at the corners with two away. Zuna advances to third. Albz is forced out officially one to four-6 cuz that ball hit off for May first and Harris is aboard on the fielder’s choice. That was close at first. Eli White right-handed batter. Two on, two out. Check swing. They want an appeal down to first. Lance Barkstdale said he did not swing. One ball, no strike. Does Harris take off for second base some point in this sequence? You think so with two outs here? Stretch by May. Quick turn and the throw to first base and diving back is Harris. if he had not taken that that big breath and exhaled before he threw over to first base. There’s the pitch. It’s swung on. Fouled away. You know, anything a pitcher does that can be a tell, you know, for a base runner, including that big breath that and you’re looking at everything. I mean, from a hitter standpoint, you’re looking, well, does he hold the ball a little bit different? Does it come set in a different spot? Above the belt, below the belt is one of breaking balls, an off speed pitch. And the pitch, sweeper inside. You talking about the number of sweepers. The percentage this year, that’s the pitch he’s thrown the most. 40% of his pitches have been sweepers. 34% sinker, 21% forcame. There goes Harris. pitches swung on and fouled back. I I would be interested to sit down with Dustin May and say, “Okay, you have these four pitches. Which is your nastiest pitch? If it’s the sinker, why are we not seeing it at a higher percentage than the secondary pitches?” Runners lead first and third. Two down and a two- two count. There goes the runner. pitch swung not fouled back again. Let’s pause 10 seconds for station ID on the world champion Dodgers audio network. Champion LA Dodgers KAC KYSR HD2 Los Angeles a preset on the free iHeart Radio app. Two on, two out, stretch. And there goes the runner again. And this time it is a call. Third strike on a sweeper as Dustin May strikes out his fourth man of the game. But he gives up two runs on three hits. Austin Riley with his second home run of the game. And after three full at truest park in Atlanta, it’s the Braves four. Dodgers nothing. LA’s best sports star. That’s a good endorsement there. AM570 LA Sports. You’ve waited. Great moments in baseball have been broadcast on the radio since 1921. Smith Clarks went into right down the line. It may go crazy, folks. Go crazy. It’s a home run and the Cardinals have won the game by the start of three to two. The home run by the Wizards. Catch the next unforgettable call on the MLB app and MLB.com.

Dwayne McDonald, our producer engineer is in the booth. He’s got an empty seat next to him. normally occupied by David Vasset, but David didn’t want to sit in here tonight. No, that we locked the door. Oh, that was the reason. Well, now it makes sense. One and one to Freddy Freeman. Elders pitch and Freeman hits it on the ground right side. One-handed by Olsen. Underhand toss to Elder covering. One out. Well, friend, join us for Show Otani, the 50/50 bobblehead night presented by Toyo Tires. It takes place on Thursday, May 15th. That’s against the A’s and fans with a valid ticket will take home the first of two show Otani 50/50 bobbleheads. Come out and join us. Dodgers.com/promotions. Teascar Hernandez coming up. He grounded out to Olsen at first, his first time up. And we’ll take a strike here. A slider from Elder. That slider was right down the middle. Oh, one pitch. Ain’t that slow? Sometimes pitchers I’ve heard Chris Sail say this s a little bit brave staff. I’ve heard him say that that you know every once in a while he’ll just throw one over the middle early in the count just to see if he can get ahead. Knowing some hitters tendencies, they like to go deep in the count, take the first pitch here and there, but there’s a shot up the middle and a base hit. And now Tayaskcar Hernandez has hit in 11 of his last 12 ball games. Elder just asked for a new baseball right before that pitch. That’ll teach him. Now again, your theory on that? Well, my theory is is that the pitcher does not like the seams of the baseball. And why do I mention the seams? Well, the pitcher, if you’re going to be throwing a breaking ball, would you rather have better seams? Yes. They’re sewn with the same tension the baseballs are, but some just have a different feel. Once he takes upstairs, one ball, no strike. So, if the count were in my way and you happen to see somebody say, “Hey, wait a minute. I I don’t want this baseball. What’s the reason for it? Is it to get a better pitch? Is it to get a better baseball to throw the breaking ball?” Pitch down low. Two and0. I mean, hitting begins well before you get to home plate. Preparation before the game, no question about that. Then during the game, what are the observations? Does he double up on breaking balls if he gets a strike? Two in for a strike. What does he do? Three and two. What does he do with the when he’s behind in the count? Does he change things when he’s behind in the count versus ahead in the count? Two and one to Max. Max struck out on a slider in the second inning. stretch by Elder and the pitch swung on fouled back. Now you let off a lot, but you’re also bad in other parts of the order, but when you lead off, especially when you’re on the road, you’re the first one up. You get the first look at any any live pitching. Yeah. And you get that feeling, too. If you make it out, you come back, hey, what’s he doing? How’s it looking go? Nobody helped me. That’s right. Yeah. But they want to know, look, did you pick up the ball? Does it come out of his hand easily? What’s the breaking ball look like? Is it sharp? 22 is low and in. Three and two to Muny. One out to Oscar at first. Braves up four nothing. Top of the fourth inning. But there’s normally at least one other person on the ball club that you share information with because maybe you’re very similar in style of hitting both strengths and weaknesses. And a hard thing for a hitter for for a player from what’s what’s the biggest weakness that I have? Is it a breaking ball? Is it a fast ball? Is it inside? Is it outside? Is it up? Is it down? They off pitch and Muny rips it to the right field corner. Pioskar is going to turn second, head for third. Muny’s going to turn first, head for second. They’re going to wave home Hernandez. Pio Oscar to the plate. The throw is cut off by Albies and Maxy drives in a run with a double. Dodgers on the board. It’s four to one. And Dodgers need the runs. And for Max Muny, he needs some base hits. story about getting the prescription. He’s got glasses now that he’s wearing even though he had technically the good score on eyesight 2012 and a stigmatism in his right eye. His left eye is a dominant eye. So, how does he position his his head to get a full look at at the pitcher and the pitch coming in PZ with Muny in scoring position now. Pitch by Elder and PZ takes inside ball one. But I think for for Muny too, Tim, I I think it’s extremely important now now with the prescription glasses and with a new approach using those that he come out and he’s swinging the ball better. Strike calls. I think of Kiki Hernandez very quickly is that you know last year Kiki was having some problems. He went to the same optometrist Dr. Alex and Kiki said for the first time he could actually see the spin of the ball. pitch outside. Two and one. Well, it’s important to be able to pick up not only the speed of the ball, but the spin of the ball as a hitter. Mhm. Now, you don’t see the spin all of the time, but many times with a slider, for example, with the way that it’s gripped most of the time and and with the the rotation of the ball, sometimes you see what looks like a little red dot on top of the ball, but that’s because the seam is constantly spinning in a very high rapid uh spin rate. Two two Pah outside. Another full count here for Elder. Three and two. Muny off of second base. Dodgers on the board now. Braves leading at four to one after Muny’s runscoring double. Got Hernandez home. Pitch swing on. Ground ball to third. Picked up by Riley. He looks Muny back to second. Throws on to first for the out. There are two down. KK Hernandez on his way to the plate. So here are the numbers on KK Hernandez. We’re talking about Muny. Okay, fine. and he gets his eyes exam and gets a prescription. Well, if we look at last year, KK Hernandez in the first 71 games was hitting at 171. Not the prescription change and the last 55 games hit 274. It’s to up all one. And we like those numbers the last 55 games. And so to kick in, he was honest. Look, I can see the baseball better cuz these guys have tremendous eyesight. You have to have it in order to hit a ball. One pitch. Swung on. Popped up. Shallow left. Out goes Nick Allen. Back to the infield. In comes the left fielder Verdugo. He’ll make the catch. And the Dodgers are done in the top of the fourth inning. One run, two hits, one left. No Braves errors after three and a half. It’s the Braves four. Dodgers won. Dodger coverage morning till 9. Let’s see if you can figure out the following baseball slang term. Today’s phrase is oppo taco. Do you know what it means? Oppo taco. A home run hit to the opposite field. Boston taco.

Baldwin hit the ball the other way to left field and Michael Confor made a great play on him back in the second inning. The first pitch is dealt up high for a ball. Ball and no strike. Outfield shifted around a little bit to the left. Not very deep in left as Conorto pitch low and in. He went to the change up that time. I haven’t seen too much of that. Dustin does not throw a bunch of those. I haven’t seen a lot of four seamers either. He does have great velocity. I mean before he got hurt he was typically throwing in the upper 90s even with the two seamer two pit swung on and missed. There’s the sinker and it’s gone a little bit lower than that as far as the velocity coming in tonight. It has averaged 94.5 which is still not bad. Major league average has been 93 last couple of years. Good ball, one strike pitch. That’s inside. Baldwin backs up. Three and one. 68 pitches now for Dustin May. Throws here in the fourth inning. May looks over the webbing of his glove. He holds it out in front of him. Now steps back. Big high leg kick pitch. Swung on the ground ball to the right side. Kik to his glove side. Back hands. throws on the run against his body. Good play by Kik Hernandez to get it to first base in time to retire Drake Baldwin. And there’s one away. One down. Over in St. Louis, the Cardinals and Mets in game two of their double header tied at four a piece. Bottom of the sixth inning. Cardinals won game one of the double header six to five today. Everything else is final. pitch in for a strike to Nick Allen. Royals beat the Orioles in Baltimore 11 to6. Twins at Fenway beating the Red Sox 5 to four. One pitch to Allen. Swings, fouls it off with that sinker. And you can see each time he’s thrown the sinker to Allen, Allen’s been late on it. He has been late to the dance. and and oddly enough, the first at bat after throwing the fast ball by him basically came back with three consecutive breaking balls. They’ll wind up the 02 pitch to Nick Allen. Throws the sweeper this time on a check swing foul ball. Padres’s beat the Pirates 4 nothing in Pittsburgh. Padres’s now 22 and 11 and a game behind the Dodgers in the Western Standing. as they play here right now. 01 pitch. That’s biscuit foul back to the screen. The Rays beat the Yankees for the second straight day. 7 to five at Yankee Stadium. Tampa Bay wins that series. They out hit boys from the Bronx 16 to8 in that game. Yankees committing two errors in that game. Now the O2 on the way to Allen. Swung on. A bouncer hit towards short charging and one-handing as Moy Bats on the lip of the infield grass. A leaping throw to first in time to get Allen two away. Now back to the top of the order. Alex Verdugo. He’s had an impact on the game. He’s reached base twice and scored twice, walked and singled. Wearing number eight for the Atlanta Braves. There’s the line to kick the pitch and that’s on the outside edge for a called strike. Guardians beat the Blue Jays 54 today and the Marlins falling at home to the Athletics 3 to2. A’s are climbing the AL West standings and are just behind the Mariners. This ball hit to left field. Conforto has it lined up. He’ll make a head high catch for the third out and the Braves gone in order in the fourth inning. We’ll head to the fifth. It’s the Braves for Dodgers one.

Let’s see if you can figure out the following baseball slang term. Today’s phrase is oppo taco. Do you know what it [Music] means? Ao taco. A home run hit to the opposite field. Boston the fifth inning. 4-1 Braves with the lead and watch Elder will face Conorto Barnes and Otani in the Dodger half of the fifth inning. Elder five strikeouts so far in the game. His slider’s been working pretty well and Conforto late on the pitch. High fast ball that was out of the strike zone. The ball’s in one strike and Forto struck out looking on a slider last time up in the third. Next offer missing just high. About the same pitch that he offered at strike one. Going to offer once maybe offered twice. One ball, one strike. Now a pitch in for a strike taken. No force up high in the zone, but definitely in the strike zone this time. You know, we take a lot of things for granted just looking out in that tunnel beyond center field fence. Couple of ground screw guys have gloves. They’re playing catch. That’s a way to go, guys. Stealing some time. One, two, pitch inside corner called strike three. And Conorto’s gone down looking twice. Sinker got him. Last night he went down looking three straight times. That’s five strikeouts in the last two games. All looking. And he has struck out six times in this series looking. Seven times total. Austin Barnes the batter and he’ll take a strike. Well, we’ve been there, done that. It kind of tells me he’s not picking the ball up out of the pitcher’s hand. Not tracking it particularly well at all. Oh, one pitch and Barnes takes inside. Barnes double to right his first time up. You know, when you start to swing at pitches out of the strike zone and taking pitches that are in the strike zone, you’re really kind of confused at home plate. when one Barnes fouls it back, which is kind of a diagram or definition of a slump. It’s a lonely place and a frustrating place to be. And every one of these hitters is going to go into it at one point in time. Question is, how long does it take them to get out of it? There’s a one-two pitch and it is fouled on the ground pass first. You get in a real bad slump. You know, people want to help you out, but sometimes you don’t want to hear it, right? When you’re in the dugout. Well, you become a little defensive. You know, there are times you get in such a bad slump, you’re hoping for rain. One, two, that’s up high. But when rain is your best case scenario, you know you’re in a slump. Yes. And you’re probably not in the lineup either. No. Here’s a two- two from Elder. And Barnes lips it to left field. That’s going to be caught by Verdugo. A headlong dive toward the infield on a sinking line drive taking a possible hit away from Austin Barnes. And there were two down.

Once they got him in with a double. And maybe the most surprising news here in Atlanta is that contest they have between innings with this guy who’s a sprinter known as the freeze. He’s lost twice this weekend. He just lost again. I don’t know if I’ve ever seen him lose until Friday night. He lost Friday. Now he loses here on Sunday. Breeze is frozen. He is bets leads off taking a strike. Breeze needs a needs to be thought out. Oh, one pitch and Muki takes up high. One ball and one strike. That’s 0 for two in the game. Struck out in the first, grounded to third. In the third, the pitch from Bryce Elder is a strike on the outside corner. A slider. Seems like he throws kind of a tight slider, but it’s got just enough movement on it. Throws it 35% of the time this year. One, two. And Muki looks at it right on the edge and called a ball. Two balls, two strike. Dodger offense to get short on outs here. And that’s up high. Sevengame winning streak for the Dodgers. They have scored 64 runs on 90 hits in the seven games plus tonight averaging nine runs a game. And Muki takes a walk. Pitch was low. And the Dodgers have the leadoff man aboard in the sixth.

Pitch way up high to Freddy Baldwin. The catcher had to come out of his crouch and stand up to make the catch. Four runs on five hits for Atlanta. One run, three hits for the Dodgers. Bryce Elder, his 81st pitch. And Freddy lifts it down the left field line, but that one is going to slice out of play. And Graves getting some action in their bullpin. Here’s Johnson, a right-hander is going to get up and start throwing. Not seen Johnson in this series yet. One ball, one strike pitch to Freeman. Pitch from Elder. It’s up high. His bullpen’s on alert. Dustin May has thrown 86 pitches in five innings of work. That’s leads at first, held on by Olsen. Rest of the infield shifted around to the left. Two-1 to Freeman. Swinging a miss. A little late on the slider. Freddy’s average right now at 329. Hit his sixth home run of the season last night. It was a three-run shot in the eighth inning. 416 ft blast. 2-2. He swings and fouls it back. It’s another slider, which has really been the bread and butter of Freddy Freeman the last three years against right-handed breaking pitches. He’s at 301. There’s a 2-2. Wait, now the throw to first instead and Mookie dives back safely. Two and two the count. Here goes only about 60 ft off the left field foul line. He’s way over opposite direction. Pitch and Freddy hits a highf fly ball foul down the left side and well out of play. Freeman’s played exceptionally well here at Truist Park. He’s been on base in 27 straight games at this ballpark. Loki leads at first. Now the 2-2 and Freddy hits a base hit to center. Mooki is going to turn second. He’ll go to third and the Dodgers have runners at the corners and nobody out. That’s pretty good piece of hitting right there for Freddy Freeman. Stayed with it right up the middle and he now extends his hitting streak from eight games to nine and has reached base in 28 straight at this ballpark. And that’s going to chase Elder out of the ball game. Brian Snicker, take a hack at guessing which baseball player or manager has a following. I really don’t know what to say.

Tasks Hernandez is at the plate. Freeman at first, bats at third. 4-1 Atlanta leads. Johnson out of the stretch. The right-hander delivers to Tasks. Swung on and fouled off down the right side and out of play for strike one. Lot of curve balls for Pierce Johnson which really might play into the hands of Tioscar Hernandez because his slugging percentage against nonf fast balls you over the last two years seventh highest in baseball. 01 pitch coming to Hernandez. It’s way inside. He jumps to get out of the way. One ball, one strike. 68.9% basically 69% of the pitches thrown by Pierce Johnson this season have been curveball vast majority of them 1-1 to Teay Oscar swing and a fly ball shallow short stop Nick Allen out to play it short left field not deep enough to get anything done and that is out number one and that was the curve boom. I mean you start look at patterns of pitchers for example for Johnson over the last three years has 170 strikeouts 127 of those are curve balls. Match my driven in a run with a double tonight from Johnson and that is up for a ball. want to know to Max. Max is due to go on a tear here. Just one home run on the season and a one pitch to Muny from Johnson and he delivers the curveball low and in. Two balls, no strike. Bottom part of the Dodger lineup last night. Quiet number 6, eight, and nine in the lineup. 0 for 16 with seven strikeouts. Johnson set to go. Two pitch to Max and it’s on the way. And Max tried to check his swing. Didn’t matter though. Curve ball was over the plate for a strike. Two and one. Just looking at Oscar Hernandez going back to the dugout and then the dugout. He is still fuming because he feels that you know that curveball that he popped out on like to do more damage on that one. Here’s a 2-1 now to Max Muny from Pierce Johnson and it’s on the inside corner for a called strike. A four seamer. Two balls and two strikes. Quick stop. Allen playing up the middle slightly to the left of second base. Olson holding Freeman at first. That’s a good size lead at third. Two-2 in the dirt. Kicks away. Mookie thought about it, but the ball kicked away up the third base side. Really nowhere for him to go. Freeman took advantage and he got second base on the wild pitch. And now second and third and a full count to Muny. Freeman taking the extra 90 ft there. Three balls, two strikes. The payoff pitch to Max. He swings and hits a one hopper to Alby’s. It’s going to get Loki Bettson to score and it’s now four to two. Albz throws on to first base to get Muny. So Muny grounds out but drives in his second run of the game. And the Dodgers now have cut it in half four to two with Freeman advancing to third on the play. Picked up the the run when needed. Now this is going to be interesting the match up. Okay, you’re talking about Johnson high percentage of curve balls. Well, Andy Pes comes on against Breaking Stuff this year. Fourth best average in baseball. He’s hoping he can get one and drive it here. He represents the tying run. The pitch is low away. Ball one. What is the fourth best average against breaking stuff this year? 333. One out of every three times he’ll get a hit. One and0 pitch on the way in for a strike call. Backto back curve balls. Four runs on five hits for Atlanta. Two runs, four hits for the Dodgers. And the Dodgers taking advantage of the leadoff walk issued to Mookie Betts by the starter Bryce Elder. So that run charged to Elder. One-1 pitch to Pahz and he takes up high. Two and one look still open on Elder as Freddy Freeman is his responsibility down at third base. Johnson red leather glove up by the letters ready to go. Looks at third, kicks and fires and a strike called with a fast ball that nicked the outside corner. It’s two and two to Pahes. Andy didn’t agree with the call by home plate umpire Ryan Additton. Asks for time and gets it. Now steps out now getting back in. Taps home plate, fixes his batting helmet, pinw wheels the bat a few times and waits. Two- two pitch to PZ coming from Pierce Johnson and Andy strikes out on the curve ball and a miss. Dodgers pick up one run on one hit. They leave a man. No Atlanta errors. After five and a half, it’s the Braves four, Dodgers two. When you want Dodgers, the only home is AM570 LA Sports. Hey, this is Adrian Gonzalez.

Michael Harris the center fielder. Eli White the right fielder. And the catcher, Drake Baldwin, set to face it. It’s Chevy truck month and there’s no better time to do what you do best in a Chevy Silverado. Shop now at socalvy.com. Made facing Harris. Harris one for two, singled, stole second, and was stranded in the second. First pitch to him just outside ball one. Well, the Dodgers got one back. One here, one there. Still time. Close ball game at four to two. It’s from May is low. Two balls, no strikes. There is action in the Dodger bullpen right now. Where we sit, we can’t see who it is, but figure that out in a minute. Here’s the pitch. Swinging a foul ball over on the first base side. Mo’s got the binoculars out. Doesn’t help him pass that fence. That’s the one place we can’t see in the ballpark. There’s a ground ball towards second. Backhand stab by Kik Hernandez from the lip of the outfield grass. He fires hard to first and gets Harris. Good play by Kik. The second time tonight, KK Hernandez has gone to the backhand side. Made a nice play. PK Hernandez can throw the leather around. A guy can really defend. You put him in the infield or outfield. One away. And the right fielder Eli White standing in from the right side. And May kicks and fires home. And it’s inside ball one. We look ahead to the Miami series. The pitching plan a little bit different. Dodgers have to fill some gaps. We do know that Tony Gonelin will make his second start on Tuesday. Pitch is fouled away. We don’t know who’ll start tomorrow for sure, but it will be a bullpen game. And then Wednesday, Dave Roberts saying in the dugout today, it could possibly be a bullpen game. But who knows? They could do one of a number of things. Maybe a roster move, maybe not, but we’ll see as the week goes along on one pitch. And that’s outside. One thing that you would have to imagine though is when they start the four game series on Thursday in Arizona against the Diamondbacks. You would think that Yoshinu Yamanamoto would get to start on five days rest rather than six. Two-1 pitch and this ball fouled away. Two and two to Eli White. Eli White using that torqued bat. Boy, he’s been jammed tonight. He needs a a thicker barrel closer to the hands. There’s the two- two pitch from Dustin May. And it’s a little check swing roller foul up the third base. They flooded the forward too, but the torpedo was offline. Came on with such a big one. Oh, the torpedo back. Oh my goodness. The home runs. Everyone’s going to You don’t see that many. People have tried them and then they’ve gone back to what they used to do. Well, how much of it is design? How much is placebo? to two. Sweep her outside. Three and two to White. If you get jammed a lot, stands for reason. Bigger the barrel closer to the hands. That was originally the problem is for Vulpi with with the Yankees and why they they moved the barrel a little bit closer to the hands. Getting jammed. 3-2 swing and a miss. Strike three. Got him with a sinker inside. Sixth strikeout for Dustin May. And there were two down. I have a question for you though. If you keep getting thrown inside, just slide your feet back in the box a little bit. What a concept, huh? Same thing I said about Vi. If you if you’re getting jammed, move off the plate another two or three inches. Instead of changing the bat, just move back in the box. All right, Dave Roberts comes out. He is relieving Dustin.

The bottom of the seventh inning is brought to you by Bank of America, the official bank of the Los Angeles Dodgers. So glad you’re with us here tonight. Sunday Night Baseball game from Atlanta, Georgia. Matter where you’re listening or how you’re listening, we appreciate it. Well, the Dodgers the offense again for the first seven games of this streak averaging nine runs a game, right? But when you look at tonight, runs have been pretty difficult to come by. Yeah. And we start to look at, you know, recent games on top of it, including game one of this series. Two to one Dodgers victorious in that one. They’re only six hits in a game. Four by the Dodgers, two by the Atlanta Braves. The pitching has been pretty darn good in all three games. Garcia finished the game last night, picked the ninth inning, put up a couple of hits in a walk, struck out a couple and just waiting for the goal from television. Start the bottom of the seventh inning. The Dodgers are running out of bouts tonight. Rogers the only team in baseball this year to have multiple winning streaks of seven games or more. And they’re trying to match their season best win streak of eight. It’s still an opportunity. Couple of more bats left in this one tonight. And Luis Garcia needs to hang a zero. Pumps his front left leg three times. Set at the belt. Now kicks and fires home to Verdugo. It’s outside ball one. Luny in on the grass at third. off the line and PZ in center field playing toward left center. Way over off the line and right is Teayoski the left-handed hitter. Verdugo is one for two with a walk. There’s a swinging strike. One ball, one strike. That’s playing towards second base just to the left of it. Heels near the outfield grass. One ball, one strike pick outside. Two and one. If the Dodgers can come back all the way, that would be something they haven’t done. Finish that in a second. Ground ball to second. Rojos up with it. Throws on to first, one out. Again, if they can come back and win tonight, they’ll complete a season sweep of the Braves. Something they’ve never done. They’ve won the first five and are just a run away here in the six. So, Verdugo is out four to three. And now Austin Riley up. Two home runs for Riley. The last Braves player with a three home run game. Travis Darno. That’s right. One of the Darno brothers who was a Dodger for about a minute before coming to the Braves. Darno did it on the 19th of April of last season against the Ranger. Strike call to Riley and the one pitch. Swung on. Bounced foul third base side right by the Dodgers dugout. Javier over there to make a great play. Well, with Riley, one thing we’ve learned already, don’t throw hanging curve balls because that’s what he’s hit out for both of the home runs off of Dustin May. Think sweepers that ended up over the fat part of the plate. Oh, and two to Riley from Garcia and it’s in the dirt outside. One and two. Something you’ll look at later on tonight, tomorrow. Seemed like a very high percentage of breaking pitches from Dustin Maiden. More than we normally see and a ground ball hit to third. Maxy plays a good hop, sets his feet, overhand throw to first in plenty of time and Riley is out. Five to three. Two away. Hey friends, looking ahead, it’s going to be Mookie Bets’s bobblehead night on May 13th. That’s against the A’s.

Marcel Ozuna, the designated hitter, one for two tonight. Hit by a pitch last time up and he’s now got his second hit as he lines the first pitch. A fast ball into center field. He’s been on base three times tonight. You know, Zuna swings the bat. It’s as if he swings the bat because he’s mad. I mean, he just attacks the baseball. Dave Roberts coming to get Garcia with the left-hander Matt Olsen coming up. And the Dodgers will make a change here. Of course, they dim the lights so we can’t see who’s running in. taking a look at it and it’s going to be Anthony Bond. So, left- on left matchup as Bond will face Matt Olsen with two outs. And take a hack at guessing which baseball player or manager said the following. I really don’t know what to say. I’m just uh so happy I gave something these people cheer. We all did.

High leg kick pitch right down the middle for a strike. Bond pitched last night when an inning and a third of hitless and scoreless relief striking out one. And tonight for Olsen, he is 0 for three. Struck out looking on a sweeper his last time up. Now the pit, he looks at a ball in the dirt. Austin Barnes wanted an appeal down to third, but Ryan Wills, the umpire there, said nope, did not go. One ball, one strike to Olsen. Has a 20game on base streak on the line. Short lead at first by Luna. Held there by Freeman. to kick the pitch right there for a strike taken. The sinker up in the zone down the middle. Bond gets ahead of him. One ball and two strikes. The Dodgers in the eighth. Freddy Freeman would lead off. Tay Oscar Hernandez to follow. And a one-two from Bond trying to get him to chase a slider and he wouldn’t. Two and two. He came close to wanting to make a full swing. Held up. Ronda in a big spot here trying to get Olsen. Shallowing left is KK Hernandez and the pitch on the way. The two swung on. Ground ball first base side. It’s off the glove of Freeman. Diving stop. Rojos throws to first. Bond stretching. Oh, what a play. Oh, what a play. First a dive by Freeman off his glove. It deflected and changed direction. Rojos there. Bond continued to first. The Braves are going to decide whether or not to look at it. They said nope. They’re not going to as the Dodgers end up with a tremendous defensive play to end the inning. Wow.

Mookie, I’m sorry, Freddy swinging a miss and it’s 0 and one. Made the last out of the seventh and a strike called to Freeman. He didn’t like it. Looked low and Freddy falls behind. Nothing in two right now need a base runner. Hernandez pitch and Freeman swings, hits it ball on the ground. A diving stop by Alby’s throws on one hop to first to Olen and Azie Alb just robbed Freddy Freeman of a base hit. Diving to his left and making the stab and able to advance the ball to first base for the out. Beensive defense shown tonight by both sides. I tell you that play to end the bottom of the seventh inning. It took three tremendous efforts by the Dodgers. First pitch in the dirt to Tayaska Hernandez. Freeman diving for the ball off of his glove. Miguel Rojos diving for the ball and then from the seat of his pants throwing over to first and alertly on his first base back. Swinging a fast ball and a miss. One and one. Yeah, that was a was spectacular how they get that last out. Next offer is high. Two and one. It’s not a play you work on. No, no, not ever. No. That’s where that’s where ability your athletic ability takes over and and the will to get the the job done. Two-1 pitch outside. Three and one to Tay Oscar. Maxy on deck. Hazbell Hernandez. No action in the bullpen behind him for Atlanta. Four runs on seven hits for the Braves, three and six for the Dodgers, and a cut and a miss at a slider that fills the count at three and two. Well, you go from a 98 mph fast ball to an 89 mph slider and a big slider out of Wayne. Three and two to Teaysa Hernandez. Pitch. He swing hits a ground ball to the first baseman Olsson.

A double in the fourth and a ground ball out in the sixth. Got a man in. First pitch to him is a ball inside. Ball and no strikes. Next offer is hammered hard on the ground foul. That’s the first base coach Chris Woodward. And it’s one and one to Max Mson. who you’d say is due to hit another long ball after a slow start. He swings and he hits a hot shot to right field. A diving catch made by Eli White. Oh, tremendous defense by the Braves here in the eighth inning as White steals a hit. And Muny frustrated after White lays out full extension and makes the catch to retire the side. Dodgers go in order in the eighth. We go to the home half of the inning. When we come back, it’s the Braves for D. Moments in baseball have been broadcast on the radio since 1921. Smith courts went into right down the line. It may go crazy, folks. Go crazy.

Braves will get a little help back in midmay when Ronald Akuna Jr. is due to come off the injured list. Still a few weeks away. 1-1 swung on popped up shallow right over by the line drifting into foul ground. Tay Oscar Hernandez will make the catch. Freddy Freeman was out, but Teoskar had the better angle at it. And he makes the catch. And there’s one down for the Braves in the home [Music] eighth. Center fielder Michael Harris. Second left on left match up here right-handed hitting Eli White on deck. Monty even with the bag toes almost touching the infield grass at third. The plays off the line and a strike call started him with a slider. The balls add one strike to Harris. Here’s the pitch. swinging a little grounder pass the mild right side charging as Rojas quick flip to first gets it there in time. Boy, that’s a nifty play by Miguel Rojas for the second out. That’s a little play. Another defensive gin. Meanwhile, you know, there’s a lot that goes on in between half innings, for example. I’m pointing to is it for Dave Roberts. He knows he has Will Smith on the bench. I would imagine Smith as we speak is taking some swings in the batting cage. They saw Kim also just called up yesterday has speed. He’s probably getting his legs loose in case the Dodgers get a runner on. Down by a run in the ninth inning. Looks to Eli White is down and in. So it’s scheduled to be Pes Kiki Hernandez and then Miguel Rojos in the top of the ninth. Dodgers need one more out to to go in the ninth. Just one run down. Pitch to White. Cut in a miss. One ball, one strike. Yeah, just as you mentioned that I see the son Kim take his jacket off in the dugout and he is getting loose in the stretch a little bit. You know, one thing he could do is that as soon as the half inning is over, he could sprint down the the left field line and come right back too during the half inning. One-on-one one pick. White takes outside didn’t do much. Two balls in a strike. That’s why managing a team, boy, you can in your armchair. Okay. Well, let’s do this. SL I’m about three and four innings ahead and that’s what managers do. Now with 2-1 swung on and missed. You see a right by him. Two and two to Eli White. Andy PZ is due to lead off in the top of the ninth for the Dodgers. Highway 22 on the way. Here it comes from Bond. Low and in to White. Three and two the count. will count on Eli White. The scheduled hitters, PZ, Kik Hernandez, and Miguel Rojas. 3-2 on the way. Here it come. Swinging a ground ball right side. That’s through for a base hit. Lei White keeps the bottom of the eighth alive for Atlanta. And that should bring up the catcher, Drake Baldwin. So Bond had white on the ropes and he lost it. Now he’ll try his luck with the left-handed hitter in Drake Baldwin. Baldwin is one for three in the game. That’s shading second base deep on the right side. Rojos and did he go? Going to peel down to third base umpire Ryan Wills. He said he did. So it’s a strike to Baldwin. 4-3 Braves leading. Bottom of the eighth. Two outs, one on. The 01 from Anthony Bond to Drake Baldwin will wait. Throw to first. Stepping over there is Bond. Getting back standing is White. It’s a rather deliberate move. Bond has a better one than that. White can run. He’s stolen only two bases, but he has not been caught. Pitch outside a slider. Then it’s one and one. One ball, one strike to Drake Baldwin. Bond light blue leather glove up by his letters. Leans over toward first. Now the pitch over the outside edge for a strike. Well, Baldwin has that slightly open stance. To me, it appears that he opens it a little bit more against a leftander, which you’ll see some guys do. Here’s a one-two pitch now to Drake Baldwin from Bond. Runner goes throw to first instead. Freeman throws down to second base. Mookie applies the tag and the Braves run themselves out of the unit. So White is caught trying to swipe second base and now the Dodgers are down to their final three outs. Down by a run. We go to the top of the ninth inning. The score the Braves four moments in baseball have been broadcast on the radio since 1921. Smith courts went into right down the line. It may go crazy folks. Go crazy.

Here comes an 02 pitch as PZ readies himself in the right side batters box. 02 pitch from Aacius. Swung out and fouled back again. Slider. Another sellout here tonight. The Dodgers and Braves have sold out all three games here. 02 pitch swinging a foul back. 39,649 tonight. Braves have sold out seven total and three of them have come against the Dodger. Vahz trying to find a way here in the ninth. 02 from Riseli Glacius and it’s a bouncing ball toward the right side off the glove of Azie Alves and safe at first is Pahz and the Dodgers with nobody out of the tying run. And Pahz just battled. He was down quickly 0 and2. He fouled off a change up. He fouled off a 96 mph fast ball. He fouled off a slider and then went the other way with a base hit. And the Dodgers have the tying run aboard. Hess Kim is going to come and run for him. Kim made his major league debut last night coming in defensively in the ninth inning and now he pinch runs representing the game’s tying run. He’s got really good speed. So 13 bases in Triple A with Oklahoma City. Will Smith 321 average, three homers, 19 runs batted in. facing Riceelli Glacius the right-hander right side of the infield wide open and the pitch and Will takes a strike. The outfield is not in a prevent doubles. In fact, I’m a little surprised that Verdugo in left is not deeper than he is currently standing. Oh, one pitch and Will looks at a slider down and away. One ball, one strike. All a strike to Will. Will pinch hitting DK Hernandez in the top of the ninth inning of a one-run ball game. Go to first and Kim just gets back in time. Son Kim, good size lead at first base. Stretch by Glacius. There goes Kim for second. Pitches a ball throw down. safe at second. The first major league stolen base for his son Kim. And now he’s in scoring position representing the tying run. And with Kim, it just gives the Dodgers a different dimension that Dave Roberts understands. They put it to use. And now the tying run. Well, base hit away. And Will Smith has the best average in Major League Baseball with runners in scoring position. 609. He’s 14 for 23. That’s ahead of Aaron Judge of the Yankees. And Deasca Hernandez is third. Nobody out. And the pitch to Smith taken for a strike. A sinker down the middle. Two balls, two strikes to Will. Riley deep behind the bag at third guarding the line. He’s only about 6 ft off the the third base foul line. Kim leads at second. Pitch to Will. He swings, fists it foul. Back to the screen. 4-3 Braves lead. Top of the ninth. Dodgers threatening. Dodgers have done well with runners in scoring position, winning seven in a row, but they’re 0 for seven tonight. Pitch to Will. Swings, fouls it off to the right again. He got a fast ball at 95. That was up. checking his surroundings, seeing where Alby’s, the second baseman, is stretching the two- two to Will Smith from Aacius. The ball gets away from the catcher on strike three. First base is open. And now Kim going for third. He’s going to make it. So strikeout 23, the put out. Because Smith had the presence of mind to take off for first. The Braves had to make a play down there. And Kim, good timing. Smartly broke for third. And now the tying run is 90 feet away. Well, you start to talk about instinct. It’s one thing to happen. And Kim read that perfectly. Soon as the ball got away from the catcher, he looked to third, then realize, hey, I’ve got to throw it to first base because Will Smith alertly and enthusiastically trying to to run it out at first base. This brings the Braves infield in with one out. Miguel Rojos, the batter, pitch to Miguel is outside ball one. Rohos has been a pretty good contact hitter. He’s not choking up on the bat, but got the Dodgers on the board with that pinch hit home run. One pitch and Miguel swings at a change up. He was way out in front. One ball, one strike to Rojas. Son Kim stole second, advanced to third on the strike out two-3 put out. Here’s the pitch and another swing in a miss at another change up. So he doubled up on the change and gets ahead of Rohuz and two strikes. Austin Barnes is on deck with the infield in here and one out. You got to feel this is the best shot right now. A lot of room behind the infielders for Rojas. One, two, swing and a miss. Strike three. He tripled up on the chain. Pull him three straight change ups and Roas swung and missed at each one. And the Dodgers down to their last out. It’s up to Austin Barnes to keep the game alive with Show Otani on deck. Barnes doubled in the third. One for three. Pitch cut out and missed and it’s nothing in one. That’s Kent to get a big lead at third. Austin Riley playing deep with two down. 01 to Barnes and he takes a strike and the Dodgers down to their final start. fell out crowd. Ryzen is one here at Truis Park. Two outs, tying one at third, nothing and two to Austin Barnes. Glacius stretch it. He delivers and Barnes files it back to the screen. Now stays 0 and two. Otani on deck. Rogers trying to get to him. Here’s the O2 pitch. Swung on a miss. Strike three. Chase the slider way outside and the ball game is over and the Braves salvage a game in this series, ending the Dodgers sevengame win streak. The Dodgers lead a tying run at third and Otani on deck here in the ninth inning.
