00:01Tasker Hernandez Bobblehead giveaway tonight all folks coming away with tail Bobbleheads as the Dodgers and Twins play the middle game in this three game series. Yamamoto has been the most consistent starter we've had. Yes he had the shortest outing of his career against Milwaukee but he responded against the Giants and that splitter was deadly against the Giants one for 13 they were against it. His fifth in ERA is third in average against what a season he said. Here's Buxton buckle up right away with this superstar
00:29leading off for the Twins. Another 3-2. Swing and a miss. Strike three. Just ate him up and in with a fastball at 96 for a game opening punch out. It's 3-2 to Willie Castro. Fastball rings him up and he puts bookend Kays on a 1-2-3 first. Where would this team be if it weren't for Simeon Woods Richardson stepping up in a huge way here over the last few weeks? In those six starts Simeon is 3-1 with a 1.47 ERA.
00:59Truly one of his best stretches of his major league career. Now Shohei Ohtani's first at bat. Ohtani has gone deep in three straight games. He struck him out 96. Boy Sim fired up ahead 0-2. Goes up and inside. Ohtani is out number two. Will had two home runs last night. Two of the four the Dodgers hit. This one slicing foul. Walner over and Walner measuring and makes the play.
01:29Moose. And the inning is over. A 1-2-3. Bottom of the first. Turned in by Simeon Woods Richardson.
01:35Carlos 0-5 last night. But man came so close to silencing this crowd. The 2-2 is a bouncing ball up the third base line. A chance for Rojas. Grabs it with the bare hand and eats it. And Carlos Correa will be safe at first base with an infield hit.
01:49Runner stays. And that's ball four. So France a nine pitch plate appearance. So the Twins have two on.
01:55Absolutely imperative to seize the opportunities early against a club as talented as the Dodgers.
02:01And Walner. High fly to right and playable for Pajas. Here's the catch. Correa will tag. And the throw is cut off by Betts.
02:10So Walner with a lengthy at bat. Advances Correa to third. France State put it first.
02:15That'll bring up Royce Lewis. And how good did Royce look last night? Three hits. A double. Stole the base. And now an RBI chance right away tonight.
02:24Dodgers back for a ground ball double play. Chopped in the hole. And that's off the glove of Rojas. It goes to base. Safe at second.
02:31Lewis is safe at first. Correa scores. And it's 1-0 Twins.
02:35And a great job by Royce. Just putting the ball in play. Getting the RBI. Hustling out of the box.
02:41It's on Kim. Off the base there. What a wild play that was.
02:45Now Harrison Bader. It's June 25th. He's 0 for 11. With runners in scoring position. Six strikeouts in that run.
02:52Swings and misses. Strike three. Yamamoto blew it by him. A high fastball. That's out number two.
02:58Small sample. Vasquez. Good numbers here at Dodger Stadium. Only two games in his career. Four for nine.
03:04Yamamoto about to throw his 50th pitch of the game. Vasquez bangs one left center field.
03:10On the run goes. Outman won't get it. That's going to find the wall.
03:14France will score. Here comes Royce heading home. And he will score sliding.
03:19Christian Vasquez delivers a two-out, two-run double. And it's 3-0.
03:24Gets that splitter from Yamamoto. This one elevated. He mentioned the 50th pitch of the game.
03:29Leaves it hanging. And Vasquez gets the barrel right to it. Splits the gap past Outman.
03:34Royce on his horse. Both runners score. Vasquez on second base. And that is a beautiful thing.
03:39Bahes takes the walk. First two have reached. And just like that, they have the tying run coming up in the form of Michael Conforto.
03:45To the right side. It's France. He'll get this one. Second for one. Correa's return. And they do get two.
03:50That is a huge twin killing. And it goes 3-6-1. Outstanding on all three legs of that particular defensive journey.
03:59You have to get out of this inning. First and second. Nobody out. To get out of it without allowing a run.
04:04Putting up a zero after your team gets you the lead is big-time stuff for Sim. This is a big impact.
04:09Swung on and pulled towards first base. France has it. Go flip to Sim. Sim steps on the bag.
04:14He beats the Comet to the base. And despite putting the first two men aboard,
04:17here in the home second, Simeon Woods-Richardson hangs a donut on the Dodgers.
04:21That's back-to-back case for Yamamoto. Castro on first. Now two outs.
04:25Castro runs this time. Got a good jump and a better throw. And he's out.
04:30Well, in addition to leading the league in average and on base, he leads the league in clock stealing.
04:35As valuable as any catcher out there. Four-pitch walk for Rojas to open the third.
04:40Let's see if they can do something with the leadoff man reaching.
04:43They had the first two on last inning and couldn't score.
04:45Caught by France. And that's a double play.
04:48A little moonwalk back to the bag. And there you go.
04:52Ty France reached up and stole it out of the sky.
04:55And Simeon Woods-Richardson has a lucky horseshoe hanging over his head right now.
04:59That's the third walk for the Dodgers already.
05:01And the table's set for Otani here with two out.
05:04Shohei struck out his first time and is now one for 16 in the day after his starts.
05:10Strike three at 94.
05:12So Woods-Richardson after the mound visit, a couple of walks with a double play and strikes out Otani for the second time tonight.
05:21Now the Dodgers have had some traffic, but Sim is up for the challenge.
05:24Back to back walks.
05:25That's now five tonight.
05:28And that match is a season high.
05:30I talked about this last night.
05:31You can't give this Dodgers offense a free 90 feet.
05:35Three straight innings.
05:36The Dodgers have had the leadoff man on.
05:38Haven't been able to do anything yet.
05:40Pajes up there as the time run.
05:43Now Pajes pummels a ball.
05:45Left field.
05:46It is gone.
05:48And we're tied.
05:50Andy Pajes has gone deep in back-to-back games.
05:54He's up to 19 on the year.
05:56A three-run blast.
05:58We got a new game.
06:00The walks.
06:01You're living so dangerously against this lineup and this team at this ballpark.
06:06And just like that, the lead is gone.
06:08Andy Pajes hit it one home run in his previous 22 games.
06:12He's homered in both games against the Twins.
06:14And Yamamoto, even though he's at 92 pitches, nobody was warming in that pen until just a moment ago.
06:19It's a ground ball to Freddie Freeman.
06:20Snares it on a short hop.
06:22And he steps on the bag all by himself.
06:24That got on Freddie in a hurry.
06:26But he dropped down to a knee to field that low liner.
06:29And record the first out.
06:31Strike three swinging.
06:32Yamamoto beats Jeffers with the fastball.
06:35And that has been the money pitch tonight for Yoshinobu Yamamoto.
06:39And Willie strikes out to Yamamoto.
06:41His best inning.
06:42Comes likely at his last.
06:43Pass to one, two, three, fifth.
06:44He strikes out two more.
06:46And Kasperius, he can't throw it over right now.
06:48Yeah, something's going on here.
06:49He's got no grip.
06:51He walks in a double.
06:52Here in the inning.
06:52I'm used to seeing him this scattered.
06:55Bases loaded.
06:56Nobody out.
06:57Here comes Royce Lewis.
06:58And that's another lock.
07:00Third of the inning.
07:01And the Twins regained the lead.
07:03He just motioned to Dave Roberts.
07:05There's something going on.
07:06Something going on with that right leg.
07:08Kasperius leaves with an injury.
07:10Here comes Alexis Diaz making his Dodgers debut.
07:14One in, three on.
07:15Nobody out.
07:15And Harrison Bader's coming up.
07:16And Bader checks.
07:17Swing tapper.
07:18Third base.
07:18Rojas will barehand throw.
07:20And Bader is out.
07:22As the run scores.
07:24Fine play by Miguel Rojas.
07:26But his bare hand came in down the line.
07:29And Bader is out.
07:30As France scores, it's 5-3.
07:32Now the infield is in as Vasquez backs.
07:35Runners at second and third and one out.
07:37Line to left field.
07:38The base in.
07:39Walters scores.
07:40Lewis will be held as the throw comes in from Conforto.
07:45So Vasquez swinging away.
07:47He drives in his third run tonight.
07:49And the Twins have a 6-3 lead here in the sixth inning.
07:52Second and third, two down.
07:54Now has Song Kim.
07:55Rodgers trying to chip away in the sixth.
07:57Kim rips on into center field.
07:59It'll knock in two to get him back to within one.
08:03A little two-out burst.
08:06Kim knocks and appears.
08:076-5 in the sixth.
08:09Third straight walk for Kline.
08:11And the bases are loaded for Royce for the second time tonight.
08:15Gardo Enriquez making his Dodger debut.
08:18Check swing tapper.
08:18First baseline.
08:19It's going to bounce.
08:20Enriquez bobbles.
08:22Throws.
08:22Away.
08:23Into right field.
08:25Keep that arm going, Tommy Watkins.
08:27Two runs are in.
08:29Walther's going to score.
08:30Lewis will stop at third base.
08:33Walks.
08:34Miscues.
08:35Twins capitalize.
08:36It's 9-5.
08:37That is not the way I expected the Twins to score some runs right there.
08:41Enriquez says, I got it.
08:43But then he doesn't got it.
08:44Really want to bare hand that.
08:45Tries to glove it.
08:46Throws it past Freddie.
08:47And Royce is on his horse all the way to third.
08:49The bases are cleared.
08:51Corey, I'll say it.
08:52This has got to be the sloppiest inning of baseball in the big leagues all season.
08:55And Anthony, he's going to come out of this game.
08:58This is something right here.
09:00The Twins have Durant and Topa in the pen.
09:04Whoever comes in is going to do so with a 3-2 count to Andy Pajes.
09:09As Anthony Micevich will leave here in the eighth inning, it will be Durant right now.
09:14With a 4-1 lead, a man on, nobody out eighth inning, and he inherits a 3-2 count to Andy Pajes.
09:20Pajes rips a base hit to left.
09:25Wow, 1-0-2, and he pulls it over Correa.
09:29The potential tying run is on deck.
09:30Michael Conforto, he doubled his last time up.
09:33Well, Durant has done exceptionally well this season.
09:36With that splinker is induced a very high ground ball rate.
09:40Like that.
09:42There's one.
09:43Two.
09:44Double play.
09:45Number three on the night, and there are two out here in the eighth.
09:48Freeman scampers down to third, a huge double play.
09:51That was a tailor-made double play ground ball for Durant, who now needs one more out to finish the eighth.
09:57Royce Lewis from the grass, throws him out.
10:00Job well done, Johan Durant.
10:02And the Dodgers strand Freeman, ninth inning, Twins by four.
10:06And a leadoff double for Correa, fourth time he has reached tonight.
10:09Good night for Ty France.
10:11He has been on three times, also has scored three runs.
10:13And if the Twins can push a couple runs across, and you can sit Durant down, I mean, that is massive.
10:20And France sends it high and deep to right center field.
10:23This one is back to the track, to the wall, and off the wall.
10:27A late break from Correa.
10:28It takes a big bounce back into center.
10:31Correa is heading home.
10:32The throw to the plate is not in time.
10:33And Ty France, with a run-scoring double off the wall in right center.
10:38And the Twins have a tenth spot here at Dodger Stadium and lead by five.
10:42Johan Durant indeed is coming back out, so he will try and finish off the Dodgers here tonight.
10:48This should be fun.
10:49Durant-Ohtani with two down, ninth inning.
10:52Smack the other way.
10:54Bader's back.
10:55Goodbye!
10:57Ha-ha!
10:58What a marvel!
10:59Shohei Ohtani off Johan Durant.
11:03For the first time in his career, he's gone deep four games in a row.
11:08And now the Dodgers down to their last strike.
11:11And the pitch is swung and a miss, and this ballgame is over.
11:14Smith strikes out, and despite the Ohtani blast in the ninth,
11:17Durant finishes the job, and the Twins win at Dodger Stadium
11:21for just the third time in franchise history.
