00:00Hard to beat it, John. Fourth of July in Major League Baseball from Los Angeles on a beautiful day with the temperature in the low 80s. The Dodgers and Astros starting a three-game weekend series.

00:13Here comes Ben Dispurious ready to take the ball on this Independence Day. And for Ben, he wants to get back on the beam as far as how he introduced himself to these Dodger fans. He was outstanding up until the first week in June. An ERA that was right up there with the league leaders.

00:28It'll be Isak Paredes leading things off for the Astros. 47 RBIs for Paredes, who has four multi-hit games in his last six. First pitch, Isak Paredes gets into one deep to left field, all the way back, and gone! Astros' first pitch of the series, it's 1-0!

00:45Not bad, and nothing like a quick start against a rival. Wake these fans up and that dugout up early. Fireworks are usually after sunset, but Isak picking on one early.

00:55Isak being introduced to this little bit of a rivalry. Does it with a flash.

01:01Here's Jose Altuve, beloved in L.A., playing second base this evening. And that is driven pretty deep to left center field. Racing back on it is Pajes at the wall. It's off the wall.

01:11Altuve racing the second. The throw in the second by Pajes is offline and not nearly in time. A double for Jose Altuve. Missed a home run by just a few feet.

01:21So Jose Altuve, amongst the boos, gets another hit. Some hard-hit baseballs in this first inning against Casparius.

01:28Altuve did advance the third on the play. Now two out in the first. And the Dodgers down 1-0. Now old nemesis Christian Walker.

01:34Now Christian Walker delivers an RBI base hit into right field. Walker, who loves hitting here at Dodger Stadium, makes it a 2-0 game.

01:42Christian Walker, a career .341 hitter at Dodger Stadium, adds that lofty number with that RBI sink.

01:48There he is. Lance McCullers here on this 4th of July start. Eight starts. He has a 6-6-1 ERA. 40 strikeouts to 20 walks.

01:56And Otani is aboard to lead off the bottom of the first. For good reason. You've got to show him a lot of respect.

02:01The first four or five hitters in this lineup are lethal, but you still have to be aggressive.

02:06There's Mookie Betts, right-handed hitting shortstop, batting .246.

02:10Ground ball, softly hit left side, right at Paredes, goes to second for one. Altuve on the first, just in time to get bats.

02:16Around the horn, 5-4-3, twin killing, erases the leadoff walk. Two out.

02:20Now Freddie Freeman bats with the bases cleared in two outs.

02:231-2 pitch, he goes down swinging. McCullers picks up a strikeout to end the inning.

02:28Astros and Lance work around the leadoff walk and lead it 2-0 after one.

02:33Will Smith will kick things off the Dodgers in the bottom of the second.

02:36Leading the National League in average, in and on base. And over the last three weeks, he's also leading the league in slugging.

02:42A complete player. Hooks a fly ball to deep left center field. Back goes Tremel. Back goes the ball, and it's gone.

02:50Will Smith does it again, continuing his slugging surge. And the Dodgers are on the board in the second.

02:56This guy's something.

02:5712 home runs on the year. Seven have been hit in the last 17 games.

03:02There has been an uptick in slug from the Dodger backstop.

03:062-3-4, hitting here in the inning. And Jake Myers delivers a base hit down the left field line.

03:12Heading towards the wall, cut off nicely by Conforto.

03:14Jake with a head first slide in there with double number 15 on the season for Jake.

03:19Rest of early, got a good pitch to hit.

03:21And now a runner in scoring position for Jose Altuve, who didn't miss a home run by much his first time up.

03:26Hitting a double off the wall in left center.

03:28Altuve's never had a regular season home run here at Dodger Stadium.

03:32He has hit multiple postseason home runs here.

03:35This ball hit high in the air to left field.

03:37Carrying well.

03:38Looking up is the center field.

03:40And Paz, it's gone!

03:42First regular season home run at Dodger Stadium for Jose Altuve.

03:47He has made it a 4-1 Astros lead.

03:50And the fans respond by saying,

03:52Altuve!

03:56You've said it before, keep booing, right?

03:58Yeah, keep booing.

03:59He loves it.

03:59He just continues to give fans what they want.

04:02Putting some offense together against Ben Kasparius tonight.

04:05Cam Smith grounded out sharply his first time up.

04:08Cam drills one to center field.

04:10Paz going back on this one, looking up.

04:12It is off the base of the wall and sits there on the wall.

04:15Cam's thinking about three.

04:16Better break it down.

04:17Almost needed some help slowing down.

04:20As he has himself a double.

04:21That's his 15th double of the year.

04:23Now tying Jake Myers with that column.

04:26Here's Walker.

04:26Walker, he had an RBI single his last time up.

04:29Visiting hitters with 150 plate appearances all time at Dodger Stadium.

04:34Walker is fourth in batting average.

04:37And that one's hammered.

04:38That one's way out.

04:41Si Senor!

04:42Ten rows deep in left field for Christian Walker.

04:46And the Astros are exploding.

04:48Six straight game with a home run at Dodger Stadium for Christian Walker.

04:52Dating back to last year with Arizona.

04:55Boy, you're not kidding.

04:56Not fooling anybody.

04:57And now Will Smith, the catcher, out to the mound.

05:00Double homer, double homer here in the third inning.

05:03Skyrockets in flight.

05:05Lance McCullers Jr. starting off the bottom of the third.

05:08Facing the number nine hitter, Kike Hernandez.

05:10He sends one into right center field.

05:12Slicing.

05:12Can Cam get there?

05:13No!

05:14Jake's going to get there!

05:15Jake Myers puts it away with a great diving catch.

05:19Falling onto the edge of the warning track.

05:21What a play by Jake.

05:23Tony walked his first time up.

05:24And then was erased on a double play.

05:26This one off the foot of Lance.

05:28And it's in the air.

05:29That might have been caught in the air.

05:30That's an out.

05:31They will save at first.

05:33But I think he bought that ball in the air.

05:36He played umpire.

05:36Ringing him up.

05:37Quinn Walcott says that's a doubt.

05:39But now they've got to check on Lance.

05:41I'm hoping it got more shoe than it got Lance.

05:43That was scary.

05:45But that is a line drive 1-6 put out.

05:49I don't see that very often.

05:50Lance says, I'm good.

05:51I just needed one warm-up pitch.

05:52And I feel good.

05:53Here we go.

05:54There's two outs.

05:55Nobody on.

05:55The 2-3-4 hitters all getting on to set it up here for Teoscar.

05:59So the former Astro bats here in a big spot early.

06:02Bases loaded and two outs.

06:04Ground ball towards the middle.

06:06Altuve will make the play.

06:07The throw bounces.

06:08And in time to get Teoscar for the final out of the inning.

06:12The Dodgers strand.

06:13The base is loaded on a good play by Altuve.

06:15Getting his former teammate for the final out.

06:18Here, Tini grounded out and flied out.

06:20Hitting left-handed.

06:21Now he turns around.

06:22Bats right-handed for the first time.

06:24Richter sends this one to right.

06:25Teoscar drifting back.

06:26Now turning around.

06:27Can he find it?

06:28No.

06:28He kind of turned the wrong way initially.

06:32And then when he turned back around, he did not make the play.

06:35That's a catchable ball.

06:36But Victor will take it.

06:37He's on second base with two outs.

06:39They're now going to intentionally walk Yiner Diaz.

06:42And Taylor Trammell will be pinch hit for.

06:45Dave Roberts wanted to bring up the lefty-on-lefty matchup.

06:47But instead, he's going to get Cooper Hummel coming out of the dugout.

06:50And Hummel will get a pinch hit appearance here.

06:52Airs one to the right side.

06:54Base hit being waved around Caratini.

06:56Here comes the throw by Teoscar.

06:58It's going to be close.

06:59Caratini safe.

07:01Astros lead 7-1.

07:02Pinching RBI single by Cooper Hummel.

07:05Good.

07:05Also by Victor coming around and picking up that RBI for Cooper also.

07:09And the Astros have loaded up the bases for Cam Smith.

07:12That strike zone has become all of a sudden elusive for Noah Davis.

07:15So, if you're Cam, you've got to really lock in on the zone and force Noah Davis to give you a pitch inside the zone that you can handle.

07:24Cam with a line drive base hit.

07:26Continues to hit with runners in scoring position.

07:28It's now 8-1.

07:30Astros Cam with RBI number 39.

07:32And has a dozen RBIs in his last eight games.

07:37Proving to be a force in that fourth spot.

07:39Why not leave the bases loaded for Christian Walker at Dodger Stadium?

07:42Hit him.

07:43That's going to be another RBI.

07:45Walker gets hit on an 0-2 pitch.

07:47And it's now 9-1 Astros.

07:49As coming down from third is Jake Myers.

07:520-2 hit by pitches are sometimes a gift.

07:55Then you get an RBI on top of it.

07:57Walk single, walk single, hit by pitch.

08:00Astros nobody out.

08:01And bases full.

08:02Caratini down 0-2.

08:04Well, Victor's already had a slam on this road trip.

08:07Caratini skies one deep to right field.

08:09Has he done it twice on this road trip?

08:11He has!

08:13Second grand slam on the trip for Caratini.

08:16The Astros score four.

08:19And it's a 13-1 lead.

08:22Getting spoiled on this road trip.

08:23That's my second four-all of Martini.

08:26Victor serving it up.

08:28Who doesn't like a four-all of Martini?

08:30Oh, it's beautiful.

08:32Well, the issue with the Dodgers is kind of being exposed right here

08:35with the amount of runs and hits the Astros are racking up.

08:38So here's Jake who singled against Davis earlier in this inning.

08:41Goes after this one.

08:42Sends one down the line.

08:43Backhanded by Hernandez.

08:44Long throw.

08:45It gets by first base.

08:46That'll score another run.

08:48Coming in to score is Cooper Hummel.

08:50To third goes to Bond.

08:51Jake Myers will have an infield hit.

08:54They'll add an error to that.

08:55And the Astros now have a 14-1 lead.

08:5912th man to hit in this inning.

09:01Altuve drew a walk and scored a run.

09:03He's already scored three runs in this game.

09:05Got a double with two-run home run and two walks.

09:08Altuve skies one to right.

09:10Back goes Hernandez.

09:11Still going back.

09:12He's watching this one go.

09:14Altuve adds three to the board.

09:17To right field.

09:1917-1 Astros with the three-pointer.

09:22There's that guy again.

09:23Albuve.

09:25Wow.

09:26Astros have yourself a night.

09:28Just padding some stats.

09:30And the Astros have runners on second and third on another extra base hit.

09:35Yander Diaz is one for three.

09:37He had a double.

09:38That one deep enough in right.

09:40Estieri Ruiz to the track will make the catch.

09:43And now Walker will try to hold.

09:45And it's 18-1 on the sack fly by Yander Diaz.

09:49Dodgers down to their final out.

09:510-1 is lined.

09:52And a leaping grab by Christian Walker.

09:54And that is the ball game.

09:56This was perfection on the 4th of July.

09:5918-1 tonight.

10:01Yeah, you couldn't have drawn it up any better to do this in L.A.

10:04against a rival.

10:05Put up some grandiose numbers.

10:0720 hits.

10:0818 runs.

10:09It was a full team effort.

10:11And it was also great to see Lance McCullers Jr. pitch a great game too.
