Dodgers vs. Braves Game Highlights (5/3/25) | MLB Highlights

It has been raining all day and night long in Atlanta, but after a better than three hour rain delay The tarp is off the field and we get to play some baseball very late at night going into Sunday morning Perhaps this is the latest the game has ever started here the young Spencer Schwellenbach will make a start against the Los Angeles Dodgers Five of his six outings have been quality starts so far this year this young man is built for a long-term success He has the makeup the stuff he throws strikes Maybe sometimes a little bit too often early on and that's been a little bit of a issue Where the hitters have gotten some success early who comes home with a 1-2 and Ohtani ropes it into centerfield to get things started A leadoff single for Shohei Ohtani Quick hands and he's down at first base for Mookie Betts I'm a 2-2 pitch ground ball backhand by Olsen triggers a second Ozzie back to first bounce the throw Matt couldn't come up with it Fielder's choice for Mookie Betts. It goes 3-4 in the put out at second Teoscar Hernandez National League leader in RB eyes And that time he gets it by him went with a good slider And there's his first strike out of the game and out number three in the top of the first inning Facing Sasaki Rokey making his seventh start in the major leagues and still searching for win Number one left field ranging over to his glove side left is Michael Conforto Into the overcast sky and make the catch for the first out facing Austin Riley the right-handed hitting third baseman Who it's a slow roller to third backhanded by Muncie. He'll have to put it in his pocket It'll be an infield single for Austin Riley. That is his team leading 37th hit of the year one down one on Here's Marcelo Zuna strike three called fastball up in the zone at 96 That's right down the middle These Braves hitters seeing Sasaki for the first time so trying to get a really good idea of his release point Pitch on the way missed outside off the edge with a fastball and Olsen walks And now there are two men on board with two men out That's part of that deal that looking up some numbers today the numbers two three and four hitters and opposing lineups have drunk 21-percent walks that is too high of a rate and he struck him out. Oh fastball locked him up He tried to swing and stopped but it was a strike nonetheless So two strikeouts in the inning for Sasaki mixed in with a walk and an infield single Will Smith a 316 hitter Smith cracks a ball to right field Eli White back to the wall and it's off the very top of the brick Smith with extra bases. He'll cruise in a second with a loud leadoff double They're gonna say that it caught Muncie on the foot. He's gonna get first base Two on and nobody out for Andy Pajas payoff pitch and Pajas sends it out towards right center good break by Harris He's got it Smith will tag one down runners of the corners for Michael Conforto. You know, this is a golden opportunity You can trade an out for a run and take the lead Here's that bouncing ball to short Allen to all these and they're not going to get the throw over the first Smith is gonna come home and score the first run of the night. I wish Nick had taken that one to the bag himself He was right behind the base And I think his momentum would have been Strong enough where he could have stepped on the bag and thrown to first and had a better chance at the double play There was no chance for Ozzie The Dodgers with a 1-0 lead when they score first their record is 12 and for three fastballs three swings and misses for Taylor Two strikeouts in the game for Schwellenbach, but the Dodgers pick up a tally one run one hit three two to Ozzie Albies Ozzie's gonna shoot one in the center field good at bat by Ozzie Albies got a slider he could handle and plug that into center field laid off single throw down Albies has a stolen base with a head first slide It'll be his fifth stolen base of the season and now the Braves have the tying run and scoring position one out for Eli White base it should tie the game here. It comes and that'll be whistled down the right field line That's a fair ball all the way into the corner. That'll tie up the game RBI triple and a tie game in the second Wasn't hit all that hard but perfectly placed down the right field line And Eli White was off to the races. They average about ten strikeouts a game in their losses They struck out ten times in last night's contest and mustered just two hits They're well ahead of that already fisted towards the back of second two bets The two men who were traded for one another Collide for the final out of the second Albies scores on the white triple big crowd here on hand despite the lengthy Rain delay on the outset of the game this game starting three hours and six minutes later than anticipated Shohei Ohtani first pitch swinging cranks went out to center Harris back near the wall Shohei Ohtani Knocks one out to give the Dodgers the lead once more Oh the big show with a big fly Home run number eight for Ohtani And Mookie Betts lands one to left center field That's a hit Though Mookie's extended his streak to six games And on base twice now tonight Runner at second one out for Teoscar Hernandez On the ground in between Allen and Albies That's going to score bets And that gives the Dodgers a 3-1 lead And Hernandez adds to his National League Leading RBI total He now has 33 runs batted in Yeah it just hits the ball wherever it's pitched And he laid off what looked to be a pretty good cut A runner there that Ryan Wills says was high ball four And Pajes the seventh Dodger to the plate Here in the top of the third inning They've scored two runs in the third There's a swing and miss for Pajes And Schwellenbach finally ends the inning Here's Marcel Ozuna Man slider this time Gets Ozuna who's only swung one time On the ten pitches that he has seen What makes this guy I think again so special Is the upside of when he learns To command all of these pitches And put the hitter on notice So he can throw them at any time Good job by Olsen again Runs the count full and then draws His second walk of the night Olsen at first two down for Murphy Who went down looking back at the first inning Bang to the left side grabbed by Muncy Threw it a second to get the final out of the inning They'll retire Olsen There's the 2-2 on the way to Chris Taylor Being cut from Taylor is off to a rocky start With a couple of strikeouts tonight Shohei is two for two he's singled in the first And hit a blast to center field For his eighth home run of the season And a three for three night For Shohei Ohtani Three trips in the first four innings And he's already aboard for the third time Two outs Ohtani at first And the stretch and the pitch coming to Mookie Pulled down the line past a diving Riley It's a fair ball Ohtani will score and end a second With a two out run scoring double As Mookie bets it's 4-1 Los Angeles Mookie off of second base Pay off pitch to Freeman He swings and lines it to left field That ball is slicing it's down for a hit Here's the throw to the plate and it is just late Betts comes across standing Right in front of the throw in out of left field It's now 5-1 Dodgers On the base hit by Freeman Shortest outing of the season for Spencer Schwellenbach Does not get out of the fourth He's still responsible for Freddie Freeman At second he'll give way to the left hander Aaron Bummer trying to keep this game where it's at Facing Teoscar Hernandez There's a little swinging bunt up the first Base side Hernandez is going to be safe And Freeman thinking about coming home But he will come home now as Bummer throws the ball away And Freddie scores And down to second goes Teoscar And a disastrous run with two outs In this inning for the Braves All of this coming with two outs And Will lines it to right field That's a base hit Teoscar is going to get waved home And a slide right past The bottom point of home plate By Teoscar Hernandez It is 7-1 Dodgers And Will Smith with another run batted in He's got 19 Trying to get back into this game Ozzie Albees leading off he scored the only run of the game For the Braves that was in the second Albees hits a ball hard deep to right field That's a good start for Atlanta As Albees goes deep for the fifth time This year And the Braves get a run back here in the fourth And every once in a while you can afford To give up a solo home run with a big lead One down for Eli White And White goes the other way for a base knock Twice he's gone to right field An RBI triple and now a single here In the fourth Nick Allen over one with a ground out to third 1-2 pitch to Allen with the runner going And that's going to allow Eli White To cruise into third and maybe come home One of the fastest in baseball Will come around An RBI double from Nick Allen In the bottom of the order trying to get things going for Atlanta They've added a pair And it's 7-3 here in the fourth Two down for Ozzie Albees Against Rokey Sasaki Who's trying to get through five innings with a lead And try to put himself in position For his first career major league win Sasaki deals Albees pops it up Near a second The shortstop Betts is there It's the first 1-2-3 inning for Sasaki Who's in line for his first major league win The six times that Otani and Betts Have made contact The average exit velocity of those six swings Is 103 miles an hour As he hits one right back to Bummer What a play by Aaron Bummer To snare that rocket Another one off the bat of Betts Sometimes the pitchers get a little lucky And the ball finds the glove Back to back base on ball Otani will head to second base Betts down to first And two on one out for Freddie Freeman It's eight straight out of the zone From Scott Blewett after he got the first man down in Taylor 3-1 pitch and Freeman hits the ball high And deep to center field This ball is back and this ball is gone Freddie Freeman With a three run home run And the Dodgers lead it 10-3 Freeman's sixth home run Of the season And his third hit of the ball game And the Dodgers have opened this one up To the bottom of the ninth in Atlanta And we will see the major league debut Of the South Korean star Hyesung Kim Who was recalled From AAA Oklahoma City With Tommy Edmond going to the IL Dealing with that ankle injury Shows up on a Saturday And ends up playing his first game In that same game on a Sunday Bases are loaded for Matt Olsen Just one out here in the ninth So the Braves, as you talked about earlier Brian Sinker's team will not go quietly Into the late, late night Olsen swings and misses Two down Called strike three And the team with the best record in baseball Tacks on another win It's their seventh in a row And Roki Sasaki has his first major league victory
