FULL 6th INNING: Shohei hits 2nd home run of game, Dodgers score 4 runs vs. Yankees

One to one thus far in the battle between show Tony and Max free battle of the reigning MVP is a World Series rematch tonight and show hey leading off the bottom of the sixth taking ball one from Max free twenty one home runs for Tony is the majors leader in that category. Fourth MVP award seems in sight only Barry Bonds made it to four MVP wins and the Bonds ended up at seven if show a time he's still only 30 two balls and no strikes on Tony who is working his way back also to pitching again at some point this year. Possibility that he'll face live hitters again tomorrow work at least one more innings worth of simulation tomorrow. The birth right there was trying to put that ball in a flight simulator hit that ball back to Pasadena ahead in the count got the bigger breaking ball two balls and one strike on show hey Tony homers tonight the fact that Tony Gonsolin kept the Dodgers in this game means they're in striking distance here third time through the order against Frito this is normally when he's at his best he has so many weapons three three balls and a strike. And show it's a high fly right Fiebs it's gone to tonight for the spectacular show. Touch first and untouchable. It's truly fun to watch. This is how strong he is. That's why the fly ball was so high but because of the strength in the bat speed still strong enough to muscle up another homerun. Let me tell you some way it's been a world series type feel today in this ball game. The energy the crowd has been in all day. It's been fun now to run game as Tony is in his second homerun tonight five homers allowed by Fried this year for the left handed batters and as flips on the right he has a base here. That's three was attacking him with that front hit color and all of a sudden got enough barrel. And then judge at six seven can't get that alley who nobody's going to get that one. So he had to make sure touch first as a big homerun really got the crowd back on his feet in this offense going and I told you Wayne this is not going to be the final man. Both these offenses can do it. Max Fried gave up a long big towering homerun to show a Tony. No big maybe judge was big enough to bring it back but he could not. Feeling oh too well. No baseball such a game of inches as you know you got him to swing through the cutter last time and show a beating this spot. Show it out. Twenty two home runs some pace for sixty three. Will Smith has a base hit Hernandez to second and the Dodgers are stomping out for the show home run first and second nobody out down by two. That ball was laced right up the middle and it might be a good time for a mound visit because this game is starting to speed up on Max Fried. I was hit Fried off the leg got the box finally got another cutter and that's what Will Smith has been doing being able to abbreviate that swing not get big stay within the center of the field and now the home crowd starting to get on their feet and start to rock. And I got so many of my friends texting me the great legend the Baltimore legend Adam Jones is texting me already what a ball game this is playing. I'm going to be pitching coach for the Yankees in this World Series rematch to talk about what Aaron Judge and Shohei Otani continue to do to one up each other. This was the man that was the MVP in last year's fall classic he stood above the rest and it's Freddie Freeman against Max Fried with two on and nobody. Freddie had a game plan when he was looking out over the plate looking for something to try opposite field and he got it and he did not miss it. And how many times have we seen Freddie Freeman with big spots come up with big hits. Now the line keeps going with no outs. So Max Fried is really going to have to navigate this lineup. 15th double for Freeman Jonathan Moise guy is ready in the Yankee bullpen and Aaron Boone will make a pitching change. Welcome back Friday night baseball on Apple TV plus presented by Verilux lenses D'Andrea Willis and Heidi Watney I'm Wayne Randazzo. What a sight it is here at Dodger Stadium where it's been a great battle and the MVP winners have shined tonight. Not just Aaron Judge and Shohei Ohtani although they have judges homers Shohei has gone deep twice and Paul Goldsmith's hit a home run tonight. Freddie Freeman now an RBI double as the Dodgers have the tying and go ahead runs in scoring position. Here's Andy Paez with the infield in the first pitch from Jonathan Moise finally healthy and throwing hard again for the Yankees. Yeah he is such an important weapon down there for Aaron Boone bullpen. He can close games even come in high level situations especially against the right handed batter but that blazing fastball and he was ninety six one hundred miles an hour. That's true. Last year that internal brace procedure. Isaac has filled a lot of holes in the Yankee uniform. Just trying to hold tightly here as the Yankees lead has shriveled the one nobody on the inning. Max Freed only allowed three runs in five road starts entering the night for he's on the hook for the two on base. Second and third with nobody out in the infield in. That's your foul past their goals to strike still on any part. Tony Gosselin had a tough outing him being able to make that adjustment and start to put up a clear road really help their offense be able to settle in and chip away. They could be in line for the win if the Dodgers get these two runs home. What a turn of events for Gosselin tonight. Tim Hill left hander is now up in the Yankee bullpen. Wise guy has to face three hitters with Michael Conforto would be to a fourth as he'll gets ready one ball two strikes off the corner two and two to get to that slider especially when he gets ahead and it's a sharp short slider very difficult for the hitter to pick up the spin. Two balls and two strikes on Andy Paez Lowe is looking for a strikeout. Smith scores the time run Freeman to third past the drawn in infield. Andy Paez has been on absolute terror over the last 30 games hitting three hundred. I think he's made the adjustment the glove has always been there but the confidence at the plate is really starting to shine over the last month. He's been on the run a lot. Fought off a slider took a fastball. Latsika tries to go back to the fastball. Paez is all over it and hits it through the hole and gets himself on the eye the Dodgers have not had a lead yet tonight. They're 90 feet from their first advantage in this game. And for Yankee fans well sweating out a lead that suddenly disappears against the Dodgers has to bring back some nightmares that last October. The score is five to five and so we have a new ball game. The intensity continues to rise. We knew this matchup was going to be like this with two heavy weights going toe to toe. There's five nothing in the middle innings of game five in last year's World Series. The Dodgers took advantage of a poor Yankee defensive inning and stormed back on their way to clinching the world championship. Tonight a 5 2 lead has disappeared and the Dodgers trying to take the lead with Tommy Edmond at the plate. I still lost me. Love that call especially struggling with the fastball off the floor to the whole tire plate and hopefully get Edmond to swing through that he did Edmond in a 360 with runners in scoring position infield back up the middle. Edmond it's a bouncer to Goldschmidt who comes home and now Freeman stuck in a rundown between third and the plate. And a good job by Freeman as Peraza tags him allowing the runners to move up to second and third. Veteran leadership in doing the little things correctly knowing how to play the game the right way. It doesn't necessarily come up on the back of a baseball car but still impactful. As soon as he saw that Paul Grosjean was going home he's singling to the runners. Hey let's advance. I'm going to force them to make a throw and I'm going to give myself up again. The three batter rule comes into play with Kiki Hernandez being lifted for a pinch hitter the left handed batting Max Muncy now the wise guy has to stay in for one more batter and has to face the lefty here. We take you back to game five of last year's World Series the Yankee defense contributing heavily to a five run lead disappearing. Yeah. Those plays every single one of those plays when they wish they could have them back especially that one right there. Derek Cole's understanding the situation he has to be able to cover first base. You look at Aaron Judge how sure handed he is now. He wants that play back all of those. So in the biggest days those moments happen those end up being the difference first base open. It's an intentional walk to Muncy that will fulfill the three batters that the wise guy needed to face that Aaron Boone will go to the lefty Tim Hill with Michael Conforto do up next wheels are turning in this World Series rematch game one locked up in the six Dodgers and Yankees quite a legacy for these two franchises. They've won the first and second most pennants in major league history forty one American League pennants for the Dodgers twenty two in the National League for the Dodgers forty one for the Yankees the American League. It has been twelve World Series matchups including last year not getting to play each other every year in the regular season as Michael Conforto takes ball to have these classic matchups in this rivalry renewed at least once now every season which is great. Yeah these are these fan bases are international and they have a ton of respect for each other and they know the game. We've talked about it. It's well documented that this is star power on both sides and really this is the standard that each organization has in the Dodgers have been twelve consecutive postseason second longest active streak you know that the mystique about the Yankees on their side as well. Thirty five. All three of the Michael Conforto held his swing. So now with the game tied the Dodgers scoring three here in the sixth inning the go ahead run 90 feet away in the count Conforto's favor with Tim Hill on the mound. Lefty lefty matchup the count three and one to strike the middle to make it three and two good job by Hill by making the adjustment and I don't mind Conforto taking that pitch. Hill has been throwing the ball that rising fastball in her half the whole of that. We'll see what he does to me to a walk to run his head. Andy Paz scores it is six five L.A. Michael Conforto look very comfortable the whole of that Tim Hill wanted him to offer at that ball in her half to try to jam and get that ground ball and Conforto did not budge. Fourth run of the inning for the Dodgers ball one to Miguel Rojas the ninth batter of the inning. That means Shohei is on deck already with two home runs under his belt tonight. Austin Wells did right there pitch before he did he just said calm down and relax and Rojas you're trying to look at something elevated so you can try. It's a bouncing ball to first Goldsmith throws it home Wells back to first a double play expertly turned by Paul Goldsmith to get out of the sixth. The Dodgers roll up a four run inning they come back against the Yankees Shohei started it off with his second home run of the night. Freddie Freeman yet again bruising the Yankees as the Dodgers go ahead six to five.
