Here comes Dustin May getting his homestead getting this series started six scoreless innings against the Padres last weekend and today looks for his fourth consecutive win. Lifts his ball to center field where Trace Thompson is he's caught off by Mookie Betts for the first out of the night on a three to pitch Cronenworth cracks one in the ground to first. He's a play Freddie Freeman to two up and two down this first inning Padres are twenty fifth in the majors and run score three or fewer runs in half their games two down for Manny Machado kicks and fires one two and strikes out Machado to the knees with a breaking ball to finish off a one two three first Blake's now on the mound tonight for the Friars making his eighth start in search of his third consecutive quality start. Only one hit last time against this club. See if you can find that groove early tonight. Left hander winds and deals hot shot but it's right at Manny Machado. You don't want to hit it over there. Manny fields it flips it over easily over to first base and Mookie Betts is retired for the first out here in the bottom of the first one out walk to Freddie Freeman here in the bottom of the first inning and that'll bring up a catcher for the Dodgers Will Smith to right but right at Tatis who is there to make the catch Bill to catch by for out number two first two down and the two to two Martina grounded back to Snell who fields and flips the first base for the out that'll end the inning done with one from Los Angeles without a score. If it's near the zone he's not just going to focus on maybe what could be his strikes if they're legitimate strikes he's going to go to Hackett and it's been paying off. It's been fun to watch. He leads it off here in the second inning in a scoreless contest Dustin May back on the Hill. Bounces one right side May tries to cut off and can't instead is on the other end of a three one put out the giraffe gets over there and he needed the length at the end. Not a lot of times you see Freddie Freeman have to stretch towards right field Dustin his momentum is taking him to right field and the glove has to reach back. He uses every limb to get that out. The one from May is shot to second. There's Vargas two up two down and five up five down. Let's go over pay off and strikes him out. He's got a couple one two three innings punctuating with strikeouts in both. Blake Snell's first pitch to Chris Taylor is swung on it's a line drive heading over towards left field it's going to go in for a base hit. Juan Soto is racing over he'll dig it out of the corner but not before Taylor round second with an easy lead off double to get things going for the Dodgers here in the bottom of the second inning one out Taylor at third infield in for the Padres and it brings up Miguel Vargas and a swing and a miss he struck him out. Miguel Vargas his strikeout number one for Blake Snell two down. You and a grounder back to Blake Snell he will flip the first works his way around a leadoff double by Chris Taylor scoreless through to no score to the third inning back at Dodger Stadium and as promised Clayton Kershaw joins us. Hi Clayton. Hey what's up guys. Dustin May going back to work here. Hassan Kim leads off. Oh that's so nice. Quick pitch out. Love that. So you'll be with us another half inning because of that quick out. Yeah. But yeah if it goes fast I'll do it. He may. He looks really good tonight. And that's a change up. Kyle nasty too. Yeah. Swing and a miss two away very quickly. You know in certain situations that was a quick inning guys so fast. Ninety five save your answer. All right I'll come back. Yeah. Talk to you in a sec. And Brett Solomon the catcher is going out to try to settle down the veteran Snell on the mound visit back to back walks to open this inning against Snell and it'll bring up Freddie Freeman Freeman to right center field and that'll start the story. It might be three Thompson in Betts on his heels Freeman will settle in with a two run double and the Dodgers are on the board first. In some ways it's a quiet consistent professionalism from this whole Dodger team but especially guys like Freddie Freeman Mookie Betts first and third. Nobody out. Martinez grounded back to the mound in the first inning 0 4 1 his second look tonight at Blake Snell. No need to throw a strike here. That is strike three and Martinez strikes out as the second strikeout for Snell. Boy did he need that one down. And it's sharply hit the shorts up to be to the second for one on the first. It is in time they turn the BP one out ten in a row retired by May to start the night. Here is Jay Cronenworth and liner here in the left field a base hit opposite field for Jay Cronenworth and the first baseman to reach for the Padres comes with one out in the fourth inning and it's Jay Cronenworth now one on for Manny who struck out looking in the first inning bounces this one to second four six three it was for his four in there somewhere he got it out six three four dot dot dot dot yeah right on Soto to lead it off against Dustin May lined in the right center field that'll get through to the track and the wall Soto headed for second base and he says Trace Thompson gets it back in into the two doubles yesterday for Soto and he's got a double here to lead off the fifth innings and a Bogart so for one in this game in San Diego is a grounder to short Rojas will go to first and get the out of Bogart's and Soto is able to take third base Soto a third base with one out Carpenter struck out swinging in the second inning. High fly ball to left field Soto's going back to tag up Taylor studies under it moving to his left makes the grab. Here comes the throw Soto throws on the brakes as Chris Taylor throws a bullet home. Doesn't matter where you put him. He's got a third baseman's arm a shortstop's arm a left fielder's arm center fielder's arm. She's got a good arm Hassan grounded up a third base back in the third inning lead off double for Soto Bogart's moves him to third Carpenter flies out to left not deep enough. Kim will be tasked with getting the two out knock to drive Soto in here. Chopper to short Rojas has it fires across in time and Dustin May pitches around the lead off double. He's got five scoreless and eleven scoreless against the Padres over the last week messing with a team that hits a lot of home runs. And this guy before he went on the I.L. was leading the National League in extra base hits. Sharply hitting through and Martinez as his first hit off the injured list Smith running in hard takes third and they've got him cornered with two away. Dodgers trying to do two outs here. Two out team in the National League this year on the ground softly up towards third. Machado's throw will be in time and that will end the Dodgers strand a pyramid of a two nothing lead after five. Just trust in his stuff. He's been mixing the off speed stuff in this guy on the mound. Dustin May. I mean they're not even blinking right now. Pitch counts in order. His career high is finishing seven innings. He's got a chance to get through seven under that eighty four roundouts one to second one to short for Xander who tonight is the D.H. lines this one to center field. Good contact back goes Thompson is going to be up over his head one off the wall. Is Thompson getting it back in quickly to throw to second base and it's a double for Xander Bogarts to a double and that was a line drive that went screaming over the head of Trace Thompson. That is ball for and taking third base was Bogarts Xander takes off for third the walk to Carpenter is now 90 feet away with two down and a pinch runner at first base for Carpenter Rugnet. Odor is going to pinch run right now. He's got first and third with two down and here is Hassan Cam Bogart's third Odor pinch running across the diamond at first. Kim lines it down the left field line towards the corner. That's going to be one high and score the throw for Hassan Kim and it's two to two in L.A. Hold all tickets challenging. That's a photo finish right there. I got to say I think that's the best angle there. Yeah really good slide after review. The call on the field is confirmed. The runner is safe. Los Angeles. And here's Betts the movie just three for his last twenty five Cox's ball left center field. Goodbye Dodgers back in front his second huge home run against the Padres over the last week. Hader's fastball night turn around Tim Hill's funk Freeman one for two. Superstar after superstar home run after home run and it's four to L.A. Machado coming up here with one out runners at first and third Phillips fires one one Machado grounds it to short Rojas to second one Vargas to first Phillips comes on and puts out the fire. And so Kim who tied the game with a two run double in the seventh inning at the plate representing the tying run. Evan Phillips what a finish to this game for the righty. The Dodgers take the opener from the Padres four to two.
