All right John the road trip continues Miami to Cincinnati and great American ballpark for the first of four against the Cincinnati Reds The Dodgers magic number to clinch the division is four but to clinch postseason berth It's one draw on the mound for the Reds today left-hander Nick Lodolo and cowboy last time out He faced these Dodgers and kind of a mixed bag for him a little bit Here's the 2-0 pitch and Edmund swings swats it in the air high Playable though medium-depth centerfield Dane Meyers will move over toward left center and make the catch And that'll be the first out here in the first inning and that swings hits it gingerly to third Scooped up by Hayes moving to his left And he'll play the first in time to get Mookie Betts to down first pitch to Smith swing and he grounds one to the left side cut off by Hayes and The play to first in plenty of time and Lodolo with a nice easy one two three first inning Tarek scuba went seven and a third against the Reds first time He's pitched into the eighth inning with LA love the sequencing He had the high velocity, but also the secondary stuff had swing and miss and he was landing it behind in the count I think he's gonna be able to have both of those pitches with the change up in the slider and go deep in the Ballgame once again scuba deals Myers flies it to right field Tucker ranging toward the line and on the warning track He's there to make the catch that drop short out number one So now a rematch Nailah Cruz carried the club in LA and he sent a ball into Lowerth orbit when he saw scuba Here's his payoff It is strike three called Frozen with a fastball at the knees and that was right down the middle just totally fooled him two two to Stewart One two three first inning for scuba triple digits coming out easy so far tonight Nick Lodolo worked a nice tidy one two three first and now he will go to work here against Kyle Tucker Don't you against a light the whole core? I'm only octagon For you. I thought I couldn't a time. He was in cool. You're one. No Kyle Tucker. No, you've got to go there, Mr Dodger said With a bomb and the Dodgers with the lead now He's starting to show that ability to keep that baseball fair You did not see that in the first half of the season that ball is foul But gets on top of its short easy swing, but Dolo's is hoping that that ball gets fouled Excellent piece of hitting Derek scuba against the Reds catcher Tyler Stevenson right-handed hitter strike three called 99 painting the inside corner. What are you supposed to do with that? Stevenson decided to take it That's by Muncie at third base and as the season has progressed He has gotten better on and 14 straight. It's his first career hit against scuba now Juan Brito switch hitter Oh one hit on the ground is short Betts picks it flips it to Rojas for one Here's the turn for two six four three double play Tarek scuba out of the second unscathed It's a shutdown in England the first is Hernandez with a leadoff walk in here is the aforementioned Oswey the Paula sure the Palo the power you're right the Palo the Palo Yeah, then you got me questioning spelled Paula, but it's pronounced Paola Ground ball right back to Lodolo. He'll fire to De La Cruz on the first. That is a double play 163 and that was a quick one two down nice job by Lodolo And then he give gave Ellie a really nice feed down at second a firm throw chest high no panic But quick the Dodgers in front and a Kyle Tucker homerun JJ Bladet leads off taking on Tarek scuba doesn't they try to speed up and get on top of that fastball, but does he guess wrong? Good 99 to the inside corner Little early to challenge that type of fastball. Yeah, you like that romaine lettuce. You're a healthy guy Chris lettuce not a ton of nutritional value in that lettuce, but better than some He's feeling good about it right now especially with Ohtani and Freeman not close to a hundred percent Kyle Tucker turning into the guy the Dodgers signed him to be is Vital for them to accomplish their mission He's on first base two down now to Oscar Hernandez first pitch swinging flies it to the opposite field right center field carrying back Toward the wall it is gone It went from two outs bases empty to a two out to run blast from Teoscar Hernandez We did not know we did it's to get I take a homerun You know the Ponoku that's not the Oscar Hernandez and a Myers is on with a leadoff single here in the Reds fourth inning They like Cruz coming up all three home runs that de la Cruz hit last week against the Dodgers came on the very first pitch Well count both times he's gotten a lot of information from scuba, but he strikes out again Twice scuba has struck out de la Cruz tonight He's got five total is a bouncing ball over scuba able to get there Off balance throw the first and Kika Hernandez comes over to get it. I just say you drew it up, right? It was not pretty but pictures of athletes to Joe and then that's a play where all of a sudden He's in no man's land with athletic enough to know exactly where he was on the field It seems and flies it to right field hit decently well, but Tucker's got a read on the warning track He makes the catch so a leadoff base hit for Cincinnati, but nothing thereafter and Lodolo's 1-2 Muncie takes strike three called right over the outside corner Fastball well thrown from Lodolo and it's his second strikeout of the game. Both of them are Max Muncie That's the other thing you have to admire about this kid. He's got a good eye. He walked four times in that Marlins here He's going for second pitch is low to throw down to second is not in time Oswald Apollo with his first major league stolen base Chance to add to this three nothing lead in the top of the fifth swing and a miss He struck him out down on strikes. Tommy Edmund inning is over. Hey, Jay Bladet. He's a board with a walk All right Reds have a chance here in the fifth Reno up to second base Two on with one out and key Brian Hayes is the batter the two to pitch to Hayes Waving a miss strike three dialed up 97 atop the zone to get strikeout number six and get out number two in the inning wild pitch allows both runners to move up Frito to third Liddy in the second and it evens the count of two and two nine pitch coming up Rodriguez a 22 year old rookie making it tough on school ball fires and got him Strikes him out to strand him at second and third Shikashi say you go ask you about it. I should have you musta not a showboat. You know, he must have a hector Rodriguez also a de Boca. He might have missed in Tokyo I believe they like cruises come after with fastballs today Slider right here chopper to bat tries to show off his own gun And gives De La Cruz some of his own medicine right there Remember two years ago at Yankee Stadium and you're around a you know He wasn't feeling confident by himself and I told him I said man You're one of the best athletes in the sport man continue to work at it He doesn't make that play two years ago when they moved into the shortstop position school with a Stewart with an 0-2 Strikes him out on the changeup and he goes through the Reds on six pitches in the sixth inning Lodolo's only given up two hits here tonight and they both happen to be home runs one from Kyle Tucker one from this fella And that is to Oscar Hernandez Muncy 0-4 to tonight He has struck out both times against Lodolo runner goes pretty good jump swing and miss throw down Sink ball dropped the Oscar Hernandez rarely steals He's got two between two series against the Reds is Kike Hernandez Hernandez is playing first base tonight Giving Freeman a day off leading three to nothing at the moment Kike with the 0-2 lines it in the right center field The brothers Hernandez combined to make it four nothing Dodgers Kike scores tail a two out knock here on the top of the seven That's what the Dodgers need a little bit more cushion. They're one for two with runners in scoring position tonight chop left side Hayes has it foot race won the second leadoff walk comes in Lodolo goes seven for the first time this year a little fire from Lodolo when he got back into the dugout after that last Half inning. I don't know about you I'm kind of I'm kind of glad to see that Turks who will face in the Reds back-to-back starts five K's over seven and a Third last week. He's got eight K's tonight seven of on his fastball He's got his ninth K first seven on the fastball last two on the change He's starting to pull the string. That is a very pedestrian one, two, three seven School boom has made it look easy tonight I cut in this Kono Nana Kaimo Shikari dosan Shabon Thai scuba no quote It's leaking us Dodgers three outs away from taking the first game of this series and clinching a postseason bird Doc having some fun with somebody. All right, so here's stay Oscar. I'm the box and everything Oh my gosh, you thought he was up Kicking out of order kickball fighting in grade school You kick it out of order. What are you doing? And Tucker takes his second walk of the games He's been on base three of his four times up and these two guys combined on base five of their seven times up there There goes Tucker from first strike three on Hernandez Throw it a second not in time in the third stolen base of the game for the Dodgers Such a welcome sight Mo he's just starting to play some ball on out walk the second walk issued this inning by sentien So it'll be first and second Conte on fires home the 0-1 and it's in the air Left field waiting on it is JJ for the day. Then he will come on and make the catch too short. De La Cruz Sadi on pitches around the walks Reds try to rally on the verge of clinching a postseason berth Leading Cincinnati four to nothing. Yeah, and it is Evan Phillips coming on to pitch looking for those last three outs Back door to strike him out one gone in the nine Ellie de la Cruz turns around to that left-handed over three two strikeouts ground down Was launched out of great American ballpark you talk about getting a hold of one now That's one of the furthest balls I've ever seen hit here. Wow Yeah, yeah, hi, Sarah Nicolson Sulu Nijinanago, you know, you know, I'm the second day musta I'm up to either Cincinnati no fun Ellie now has the longest active on base streak in baseball to 21 game Swung on softly hit up the middle shortstop Betts gloves at the front of second throws on the run in time to get the out 1-1 pitch from Phillips Slapped on the ground right side picked by Hernandez feeds Phillips steps on the bag. Good night Dodgers take the opener four to one and they've clinched a postseason berth for the 14th consecutive year Greatness and consistency. That's what you see from the Dodgers organization and I love how they're handling right now
