And just like that, it’s one- nothing Halos. A blister issue. Mark Prior jumped out of the dugout first, so he would know more about this because of the warm-up situation being right there. Oh boy. Oh, he’s got it is more than just a blister. And Tony Gon says he wants to stay. Here’s Taylor Ward. Five home runs in his last 11 games.

Bet scores and we got a one-run game four tie game. So rushing has put Rojos at second base. And now the trouble. Show on a 10ame hitting streak right now. Batting 447 during it. Lined up the middle. Nitto’s got it. Steps on second through to first. It’s a triple play. Shi into a triple play to win the inning. perfectly placed right up the middle. Line drive right to him. Nobody can get back in time. Neto quickly steps on the bag, fires to Showell. Angels get out of the jab with a triple play. Not often you can say last time up Otani hit into a triple play. Shi will face Kennley Jansen in a heavyweight battle. Scalded down the line. Gone. So Otani is inevitable. A go ahead bomb from the reigning MVP. Ninth innings. There’s nothing easy about any of them. Zach Neto will be intentionally walked. That will set up Nolan Showell who’s had two walk-off wins this year. And he hits a fly ball into center field. It’s plenty deep enough to tie the game. And Showell makes it six to six. It’s going to be up to Ben Kasparius now. Bases loaded. A winning run for the Angels. 90 ft away. The payoff. Strike three. Swinging. Ben Kasparius nails. Bottom of the tenth. The Angels have the winning run on second base. And the corner infielders expecting more to square. And here’s the bunt.

So now the winning runs at third. And the Angels have three cracks to get him in. Dodgers bring their infield in and the outfield. And a high chopper. It’s over Buty. It’s into left field. Say good night to the Dodgers. The Angels have their number. And tonight the number was seven. 76 on a walk-off from Joe Adel. So cue the spectacle. Shay Otani is the leadoff batter tonight in a game where he is on the mound at Angel Stadium for the first time as a visitor. That is a rifle into right field toward the corner. He wants three. Lead off triple. Show Otani. Bets was not in the original lineup tonight. Once Muny came out, Dave Roberts put Betts in. Ground ball pace hit left field and make it a one- nothing lead for the Dodgers. Betts remains on first. Now one out in the first. Brings up Will Smith. Mentioned Smith hitting 312. Smith drives one deep to left field. That’s down the line. That’s gone. It’s a two-run homer. Well, there’s a will, there’s a way. As the Angels get ready to bat in the bottom of the first against Show Otani, starting once again here at Angel Stadium. People have been looking forward to this at bat right here. Mike Trout, former teammate of Otani. First time they faced one another in a major league game. There’s something so unique about Show facing his offensive peers. You’re reminded of a couple of years ago, the World Baseball Classic. The only time they’ve met head-to-head, just like the WBC, a 32 sweeper. This time he watches strike three. Taylor Ward leads off here in the bottom of the second for the Angels. What a run Ward’s been on against the Dodgers. Five home runs. Clock ball right center fielded pretty well. Hernandez is back. He’s still going out near the wall. It is gone. Only the second homer given up by Otani this year. Bat studying right now for the new pitcher Ryan Zephr John. Bases are loaded. It’s a one-run game.

Pair of runners on first and second. Zach Netto. It’ll be the third time through the order. This could be the last batter for Show tonight. Rips one in the left field corner. That’s a base hit. It bounces to the wall. Oh, hoppy’s on his way home. Tossio’s right behind him. Zack Meadows made it a one-run game with a two-run double. Most earned runs against Otani this year. And the night is done for Otani on the mound. Edmmer’s who is extremely good to Andy Pes. He’s 0 for three tonight pretty sharply on Tosio to the wall. He leaps up and he caught it. What a catch. Bryce Tosio saves a home run. Base hit could give the Angels the lead. This is the second time the Angels have loaded the bases. Hoppy has gone one for three tonight. Left center. A base hit. The big hit from Hoppy gives the Angels the lead. It’s 65. Drilled that one. a low liner into left center and the Angels are on top.
