Talk. Fight back, Tim Cats, Will Smith with three home runs,
Miguel Vargas goes deep, Freddie Freeman comes through in the eighth inning as the
Dodgers get the win over the Milwaukee Brewers tonight eight to five. Hi,
everybody, and welcome to postgame Dodger Talk here on AM five seventy. LA
Sports our phone lines at eighty six six nine eighty seven two five seventy wide
open right now eight six six nine eight seven two five seventy if you were
at the game tonight's if you're leaving Dodgers Stadium sitting in traffic heading home to
the Valley of the West side of the Ocdie, I want to hear from
you at eight six six nine eight seven two five seventy if you listen to
the game right here on AM five seventy, LA Sports A lot to dive
into from this game tonight, in which Tyler Glassnow got the start and was
perfect for three innings, and then the fourth inning well he ran into a
Wall, He got himself out of it with a couple of strikeouts, not
before five runs came across from the Milwaukee Brewers. A rees Hoskins grand slam
put the exclamation point for the Brewers in that fourth inning, but the Dodgers
offense did not go quietly. Will Smith had a couple of early home runs.
Miguel Vargas a two run home run cut the deficit in half. Will
Smith's home run in the seventh inning tied the game at five, and then
the eighth inning, Freddie Freeman getting it done with the two runs single RBI's
fifty seven and fifty eight to give the Dodgers the lead, and an insurance
run from Tascar Hernandez with an RBI double the eighth inning gave the Dodgers an
eight to five lead. How about the Dodgers bullpen tonight the law offices of
Tryning, Hudson and Phillips Blake Trning, Daniel Hudson, Evan Phillips Tonight three
shutout in after Tyler Glass now six innings of work. Evan Phillips comes in
after the Dodgers scored three in the bottom of the eighth. The Dodgers come
back in the ninth inning with Evan Phillips on the mound, strikeout, strikeout,
strikeout, ball, game over and the Dodgers get to win fifty four
and thirty five. Now on the season are the Dodgers And when you think
about the long term, the big picture of this season, David Veasse talked
about it last night, I know that the top two teams, remember get
buys in the wild card round, you go right to the NLDS, and
the Dodgers need to be one of those two top teams in the NL.
And right now it's the Phillies with fifty eight wins, the Dodgers with fifty
four wins, and the Brewers at fifty two wins. So this series head
to head means a lot. Now, certainly there's a lot of baseball to
be played between now and the first week of October. A lot's gonna happen.
Teams are going to have streaks up, teams are gonna have losing streaks
down. Things are gonna happen over the course of the second half of the
season. But anytime you have a head to head matchup against a first place
team like the Milwaukee Brewers are in the NL Central you want to take care
of business in these head to head meetings. Sure, you're fighting your own
battle out west in the National League Western Division, and the Padres just aren't
going away. They came back and beat the Diamondbacks tonight. The Giants are
ten back, the Diamondbacks now ten and a half games back. The Rockies
are really out of the pitcher. But keeping a look at what's happening in
the division and a bigger lens looking at what's happened in the National League,
this is a big win for the Dodgers tonight against a playoff caliber team in
the Milwaukee Brewers, and had really good Milwaukee Brewers team built, like Rick
Monday said during the game, a couple of times built just like the Arizona
Diamondbacks are contact, speed and good pitching. And that's the recipe for a
team that's now first place. It has a five game lead in the NL
Central but a team in which the Dodgers tonight was able to get to their
bullpen in the eighth inning and get the win eight to five, eight six,
six, nine, eighty seven two five seventy. Will Smith had a
night three home runs, on base five times with two walks, one of
those walks came in the eighth inning, which was huge. More on that
in a minute, but it becomes just a fourth catcher in Dodgers' history to
hit three home runs in a game, Yasmani Grindal in twenty sixteen, Mike
Piazza back in nineteen ninety six, and Roy Campanella did it way back in
nineteen fifty. Pretty exclusive club to be a part of. If you're Will
Smith, one of four Dodger catchers in the history of the franchise to hit
three home runs in a game. Pretty impressive. And Freddie Freeman tonight a
big base knock in the eighth inning. Miguel Vargas had a two run home
run in the fourth inning. Mcgil El Vargas somebody David and I Vessa and
I talked about in the pregame show today. David got eyes on Miguel taking
ground balls at third base and then asked Dave Roberts about it in the pregame.
They're gonna give Miguel Vargas more playing time now there is an opening with
the Jason Hayward injury and him going on the injury list in case he missed
that A bruised knee, suffered it last night against the Diamondbacks, had to
come out of the game. He's on the il. James Outman gets recalled.
But this is an opportunity for Miguel Vargas, who's been playing left field
now taking ground balls at third base, can play multiple positions if needed,
to get more abs. He's been playing. He's been up and been in
at about twenty games, just under getting about forty plus at bats, just
not getting the opportunity to play on a full time basis, both the injury
to Max Munsey's still and now Jason Hayward injury in Tioscar Hernandez moving over to
right field pretty much on an everyday basis. Miguel Vargas is going to get
every opportunity to play every day now and get opportunities. And Miguel Vargas took
every advantage of that tonight great at bats. And I go back to last
night watching him at Dodger Stadium and what he did. He went one for
three last night against Arizona. Okay, that's a good night, but he
hit the ball hard almost every single time. He had really good at bats
last night, I thought, and he carried over into the game tonight for
Miguel Vargas goes two for three, the two run home run, does a
good job on the home run by the way, get his hands through the
zone. One headed home run to left field, just over the short wall
in left field. Vargas goes two for three, the home run, on
base three times when he drew a walk. The second hit he had other
than the home run was a pivotal, absolutely pivotal single that he had to
start off the eighth inning. It was clutch, the Dodgers were chasing.
The Brewers tied it in the seventh on the Will Smith home run, have
momentum going to the eighth inning. After Daniel Hudson's one two three top half
of the eighth, the Dodgers riding that momentum, Miguel Vargas singles to left
on the first pitch he sees from Paguero. Two batters later, Chris Taylor
walks really good at bat six pitches, two to two count, turns into
a three to two count, and he walks Otani, who did not have
a great night tonight and is struggling, grounded out Will Smith with an open
base, basically got walked. He saw five pitches fouled off a ball in
the middle of the play, but the other four pitches that were balls weren't
really in the zone. I don't blame the Milwaukee Brewers for not pitching to
will Smith with an opportunity to a fourth home run. They put Smith on
with a walk load the bases pitching change, Freddie Freeman comes up again.
The inning all started with Miguel Vargas and the bottom of the lineup Lucks and
Taylor, turning over the lineup to Otani, who unfortunately couldn't deliver will Smith,
though, Walks passes the baton to Freddie Freeman, and he delivers with
the two runs single. Ta Oscar then and RBI double, and the Dodgers
get three runs on three hits in the eighth inning, and they go on
to win. Miguel Vargas set the stage for the Dodgers in that bottom half
of the eighth inning earlier hits, the two run home run, A really
good job by Miguel Vargas, who, keep in mind, is only twenty
four years old. Dodger fans I think rode off Miguel Vargas last year Opening
Day, starting second baseman, played the first half of the season almost every
day at second struggled mightily offensively at the plate. I mean just struggled at
the big league level, so much so that during the All Star break a
quiet move, they set him down to Oklahoma City, and when they reconvened
for the second half of the season, there was no Miguel Vargas at second
base, and he was in TRIPLEA Oklahoma City the second half of the year.
Last year spring training, Miguel Vargash was just kind of a thought like,
yeah, roster spot, We're gonna go to Korea, extra man on
the roster. Miguel Vargas never really complained. David Assay has talked about it.
Rick Monday talked about on the pregame show today if you were listening to
the TV broadcast, they talked about it with Orl Hirscheiser and Joe Davis about
how Miguel Vargas has leaned on j D. Martinez, former Dodger now at
the Mets about how to have a good mental approach when you're not playing every
day, because j D. Martinez is a designated hitter, and when you're
not out in the field and you're only a DH. You have to mentally
change your approach and the way you're feeling during a game. It's just different
as a DH. And he had to lean on JD. Martinez. He
took simulated at bats when he thought his spot in the lineup would come up.
He was mentally checked in during games even though he wasn't getting he at
bats, and when his number was called, he came out. And he's
done a really good job off the bench and in spots starts and has earned
this opportunity now because of injuries to play every day. And to me,
yesterday had good at bats, Today, good at bats. The home run,
the leadoff signal on the eighth inning set in the table for the Dodgers,
and they come back and win eight to five. Let's go back out
to Dodger Stadium. David Vasse and the media standing by with Miguel Vargas.
Miguel, what a night for the team and you had a big part of
it. How good did it feel to contribute the way he did and for
the team to get the win? Obviously it was a great game for everyone
else. You know, like every time tried to go there, you know,
help my team to win and you know, be on the best spot
for help them. How excited are you for this opportunity? It felt like
earlier today you you had a different spirit about yourself. Yeah, one hundred
percent. You know, I feel feel good when I was starting playing,
so obviously my my mine got a little bit exciting. So you know,
just trying to enjoy it most I can when out I go there to play.
How did those sunflower seats feel when Tail threw it to you and gave
you a big hug, Greg Gray? You know every time I stepped in
their home play after a home where I'm letting those seats coming to me and
you made a nice catch and left feel too. Yeah, yeah, I
feel great. I'll feel you know, I have to give him that to
Clayton. He being helped me a lot. So yeah, you know,
I just feel great there all right, Miguel, thanks a lot, congratulations
and Korea changed you. Thank you, say, going back to their trip
together in Korea. Yeah, he gets the sunflower shower sunflower seats shower as
he came off the field with it to run home run the fourth inning.
I hate to see some flower seeds wasted like that, especially if they're smacking
some flower seeds and backyard barbecue some flower seeds, or the cinnamonturo or even
the garlic parm I hate to see him wasted, I really do. But
the celebration is cool and it's rightfully so. You hit a home run,
you should celebrate that. In the big leagues. Will Smith got to celebrate
it three times tonight, Miguel Vargas celebrate with the two run shot in the
fourth inning. Dodgers celebrate in a win eight to five over the Milwaukee Brewers
as they get the victory. Now, fifty four and thirty five, eight
sixty six, nine eighty seven, two five seventy is the number. It's
got to Luke in Long Beach starting us off here on postgame Dodger Talk,
How you doing, Luke? Doing all right? Brother? How are you
doing? Fantastic? Get the win tonight feels even better to get to watch
a little drone show. Oh, felt fantastic. But my question is,
with the trade deadline approaching, do you think the Dodgers are going to look
to get more of a big bat to add to that offense, more of
a pitcher, or more of a guy that's gonna get on base and then
rely on otawanis freemanteo to get you know, the big RBIs for the team.
Yeah, good question. Look, the trade deadline comes up the final
day of July, so got a few weeks, about three plus weeks to
see how it all plays out. As of last week, twenty five of
the thirty teams in Major League Baseball will stir contenders in some fashion, whether
as the division or wild card spots in the American and National League. So
with that being said, again, it's supply and demand, buyers and sellers.
When you've got a lot of buyers out there and very few sellers,
like a housing market, the price goes up, you've got a lot of
houses out there, the price goes down, and there's not a lot of
buyers. It's give and take price supplying demand. And right now there's a
lot of teams looking to get better the second half of the season and get
over the hump into October, and that means there's less teams selling, and
there's less team selling. That means there's even less quality arms, bats,
bench players that are actually available. When you think about you're gonna go out
and help your team get better, you're not gonna make a trade just for
the sake of making a trade. To go out and get somebody's third or
fourth pitcher who's hovering at five hundred and a five ERA just doesn't make sense.
You're trying to get your team better. So if there's not a lot
of teams selling, and the teams that are selling, there's only a few
arms, I mean, just a couple of arms that are available on the
trade market, that price has gone way up as far as the asking price
if you're the Chicago White Sox or the Tampa Bay Rays or the Oakland A's
or a team like that. So I think the Dodgers will be active.
I hope they'll be active at the trade deadline, but I think priority number
one is starting pitching because of the question marks with Bobby Miller in my mind,
With Walker Bueller, you just don't know. With Clayton Kershaw, I
mean, we hope to get him back in the second half of the season,
but what kind of Clayton Kershaw are we going to see? Fingers crossed,
we get the Hall of Fame Clayton Kershaw and he comes back and he's
able to be a guy we can rely upon in October. But you just
don't know Dustin May, how far off is he. I mean, there's
they're starting pitching. Ya'm a moto, the highest paid pitcher in baseball,
Rotator cuff Strain. You don't know what you're gonna get at all from him
in the second half of the season. He hasn't started throwing yet. So
with all that being said, in my mind, you got a lot of
young arms and James Paxtt and Tyler Glass now going into October, so you
need another proven arm that can go out and start a game in game one,
Game two, or Game three of an NLDS. That's what you have
to shoot for, is a guy who can start in one of those three
games for you. Come October eight, six, six, nine, eighty
seven, two five, Sey, We'll take a time out, we'll come
back. We'll hear from Jose Mode. We're also gonna hear from Dennis Higgins.
You asked, who is Dennis Higgins. He's the voice of the Tulsa
Drillers. I had a chance to talk to him two months ago. Two
months ago, I talked to him on Off Night Dodger talk about some of
the Dodger prospects in double a Tulsa, and he told me about a left
handed pitcher to keep an eye on. And that left handed pitcher this may
be starting for the Dodgers on Sunday, Justin Robleski, you'll hear from the
voice of the Tulsa Drillers on Justin Robleski. I'll tell a little bit more
about him as well. Dodgers win tonight and they beat the Brewers. Three
runs of the eighth inning, three home runs from Will Smith. Overall,
Dodgers win at eight to five. Right here on the Los Angeles Dodgers Audio
Network A five seven e LA Sports Live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app on air
at AM five seventy, online at AM five seventy LA sports dot com,
and available by podcast on the iHeartRadio app. This is Dodger to five four
Dodgers trailer. Will swings hits a drive to left field line and done.
It's done. A three home road night for Will Smith and he ties the
game. Where there's a Will, there's a way, and Will is finding
his way home. Five to five. Hey, three run home run nights
for Will Smith. Just a fourth catcher in Dodger history to do that.

Go back to your phone calls in a minute. Let's check out with Jose.
It's time to go around the Horn with Hosean Mogajse. Pretty good company.
Will Smith joins tonight you HASMIGHTI Grendal, some guy named Mike Piazza,
and the great Roy Campanella. How about that? Oh, that was so
special to see Will Smith finally break out. I mean, a tough month
of May, tough month of June, coming alive here in July, and
you know, for Will with the home runs, what I saw today was
actually a guy that was on time, and for Will with a lick kick
that he had. He's not a guy that swings violently. There's never a
swing out of control, but sometimes the swingers out a little out of whack
when he doesn't land on time, and today we saw that even more impresient
to me, Tim's effected the walks. You know, when you are on
the slow but you starting the ball out of the ballpark and getting some barrels
and the ball starts carrying that you get a little bit too happy with their
swing of the zone. But he kept a roadway needed to be stay run
online and he has two big walks today. So the home runs are great.
Hope this gets some go about how nice to go from eleven to fourteen
just like that. Huh yeah, that's awesome. Miguel Vargas tonight, great
to run home run, let off the eighth inning, And I think something
that kind of goes unlooked is that single leads off the eighth inning, gets
a guy on base, keeps that momentum going after the Dodgers tied it in
the seventh, one two three, top half of the eighth inning with the
Dodgers needed to keep them off the scoreboard, and then he gets things going.
I'm encouraged. I'm excited to see what Miguel Vargas can do, hopefully
with some more playing time here, Jose, because I keep saying it,
but I don't want Dodger fans to get up on he's twenty four. He
was twenty three a year ago in the opening day second baseman, went through
some struggles, didn't come back the second half of the year from Triple A
Oklahoma City. But he's only twenty four. Can I give up a guy
like this, especially because now he's playing the third position in three years.
That's number one. Number two is you know, as limited time as he
had he had coming into tonight thirty nine at bass, hitting three oh eight.
Well, he is making the most out of plate appearances. And I'm
talking about how much involved he has been in even taking his walks and then
hitting line drives. What big difference is the eggs of velocity but also the
long changles for him. And I'm not talking about flyball, No, I'm
talking about he's getting them more, the ball more in the air, beating
line drives and gap ball because now his fingers are healthy. Man, two
unhealthy fingers last year just didn't do many justice. We didn't see Miguel Vargas,
the wide the guy that was projected to be obviously a rum produce from
the big leagues last year because of the injuries to his hands. But you
know, I talked to him today a little bit about this, and he
knew he was going to be playing. You know, Jameson Attler was at
the ballpark on time. But this is the time that he has earned this
because another good thing that Dave Roberts has done is he has allowed him to
go out there and stay in game. Sometimes after they bring a right handed
pitcher for yon player. That is so important to get the reps and see
the ball coming to the list of the arm and the body to stay in
it. Because with the opportunity like this comes, well, he's more than
earned it and he knows that now that he belongs in. Another thing on
hand, lastly is to playing the outfield. Today Clay McCollum, as a
coach, took him in the outfield. He's in left field. Dave Roberts
is supervised as the whole thing, and they're shading him towards the line a
little bit more and Clay mccollins hitting from the left side as in pretending to
hit line drives like the two he cut. Today. So I'm glad that
he saw that the practice plaid off where quickly, but mainly with the battle
that Dodgers needed some offense in that bottom and he's getting it done, no
doubt about it. I know Tyler Glass now had the hiccup in the fourth
inning, but I think tonight, if you can draw it up as far
as how you want your pitching usage to go, the starter goes six innings
and then the law office of Tryn in Hudson and Phillips in the seventh,
eighth, and ninth. I mean that's the way they probably want to dial
it up every single night. And I know he had a hiccup in the
fourth inning, but this is a good recipe to have for success. Man,
There's one pitch that tellerglassnow just wishes he had back, and that's Reeve
Hoskins has been scuffling, but the last couple of games he's been on the
ball a little bit more. But I'm sure that Tyler Glass would just like
to say, hey, I need to get away from the one pitch.
I mean to Jack Zawinski the trans grishion the one pitch, and I to
Hoskins spot he did not pout or put his head down. It was pretty
much like, Hey, I got to become my best reliever right now for
this team. I'm gonna go out there and do it. So he retired
the next seven batters than the era, and then he punched out and then
he sets things up nicely for that bullpen to come in as you mentioned,
and the guys at the end today with trying to Hudson Phillips thirty six pitches
total, one hittle out, no wash. That's what you shut down an
offense like the Bruce who are much different offensive team away from home as they
are on the road. Dad about it, Jose, appreciate it. We'll
talk to you in a couple days day. We'll be back tomorrow. Oh,
take care, all right? There he goes Jose moda. Dodgers get
the win tonight, eight to five over the Brewers. Daniel Hudson gets the
winning and relief Evan Phillips to save his fourteenth of the season. Edward joins
us here on Dodger Talk after the game, leaving Dodgers state him Edward,
how you doing, I'm doing? What? How Tim Kate? I'm doing
fantastic? Do you like the Drone show tonight? I heard it was pretty
cool. I did. That was my family. It was my son and
my and my girlfriend. It was one thousand my wife. Sorry, it
was one thousand percent great. But you know what I want to say,
The Dodgers came back after the disappointing series that Diamondbacks. Dodgers came back.
We we one thousand person came back. Hopefully one is with the Brewers.
But my question is with you, Tim Kates, is do we need to
trade for a starting pitcher because to this point, I think we need the
starting pitcher, and also I think we need closer. I think we need
Kelly Jensen back. What are you thought. I don't think closers at the
top of my list right now. If I'm shopping at the trade deadline,
I don't think I'm looking closer unless it falls in my lap or it's part
of a bigger deal to bring a starting pitcher to this Dodgers team. And
I mentioned it just a little while ago. Starting pitching is number one on
my shopping list. If you're the Dodgers, and I think you have to
be going into this at the trade deadline knowing you're gonna have to give up
probably a little bit more than you'd like to get a Garrett Crochet. I
know, Kevin Gosman's the name that David Vasse brought up, A good name,
but I think that's going to have to cost you as well. Again,
not a lot of sellers right now. More teams looking to get better
as buyers this trade deadline than there are cells. So with that being said,
I think a guy like Kevin Gosmin's is gonna also cost you, but
not as much as at Garrett Crochet. What do is it going to cost
you? I don't know, three four top level prospects in your organization,
maybe a major leaguer in three prospects, I'm not sure. But if you're
the White Sox, you want a Prenny Pitty back in return. If you're
the Blue Jays and you're selling off a Boba shed Vlag Garrard Junior. Maybe
I've heard been talked about team looking to get another bat to their lineup.
Maybe somebody wants to add to Justin Turner at the trade deadline as a veteran
DH Kevin Gosman is another arm. They're looking to get better. They're not
looking to trade you a piece and take your leftovers or take you a mid
level prospect. They're just gonna fill up their minor league system. They want
to get better at the same time, but young on their roster. So
I think starting pitcher has to be a necessity for this Dodgers team. Dodgers
went it tonight eight to five. Tomorrow, James Paxton's gonna be on the
mount in the second game of this three game series, and then on Sunday
will not be Bobby Miller. All signs point to it. Now, it
hasn't officially been announced, but all signs point to Justin Robleski getting the start.
And if you've listened to me on off Night Dodger Talk this season and
going back to the last season, but mostly this season, which he's really
taken off, I've told you about Justin Robleski. I've told you what he's
done in Double A Tulsa and now in TRIPLEA Oklahoma City. Now, his
backstory is pretty amazing. He was drafted in twenty twenty two. He was
drafted in twenty twenty two in the eleventh round. All right, this is
a guy who didn't get highly drafted. He comes to a Dodger organization in
twenty twenty one, excuse me sets it in twenty twenty one, comes to
the Dodgers Tommy John surgery during his junior year in college. Most teams thought
he would go back to college his senior season because he had just had Tommy
John surgery. Started his career at Clemson after Clemson, went to a JUCO
and then went to Oklahoma State for his junior year. Forty innings into his
junior year, fifty strikeouts. His season ends with an elbow injury, Tommy
John surgery. Most teams didn't even take a fly on him. The Dodgers
did in the eleventh round, and you know what, they signed them.
Even though he had just had Tommy John surgery. They signed him, helped
him rehab. He didn't make a start in the minor leagues until August of
twenty twenty two, almost a whole year later. He comes back from Tommy
John surgery. Twenty twenty three. He's in High A ball last year.
This year starts in Double A Tulsa and rises up to Triple A Oklahoma City.
He's got a fastball, slider cutter that is really good, really good.
The scouts love him. Two months ago, on Off Night Dodger Talk
I talked to Dennis Higgins, the voice of the Tulsa Drillers, a so
cow guy in the Midwest now longtime voice of the Tulsa Drillers, the Dodgers
Double A affiliate, and I had him on our Farm Report and off night
Dodger Talk, and I asked him about this guy having a great start to
this season in Double A Tulsa. A left hander who throws hard, who
wasn't a highly thought of draft pick, not our first round bonus baby,
but an eleventh round pick in twenty twenty one. Who is this? Justin
Robleski. Here's what he had to say. World. Luski's a young man
who played just up the road from Tulsi played Oklahoma State and Stillwater, Oklahoma
for one season. There this guy to me and again, he's the real
deal. I mean, anytime you have a left hander who's in the mid
upper nineties, very very impressive. And I've been told by the two pitching
coaches, Ryan Dennick and Darren Olinger. We have two pitching coaches in Tulsa.
They both say this guy is the most pre haired pitcher they've ever met.
He comes to the games when he's pitching he's got notes on all the
other hitters. Very studious, well organized, and well prepared. Aside from
that, you know, he's in the mid to upper nineties, and it
was still impressive. He went five to two Thursday the night here in Midland,
and he was in the eighties in his pitch down and he threw a
couple of fastballs in the sixth and ninety seven miles per hour, and that
certainly caught my attention. This guy, I think he's going to be a
big leaguer at some point. All Right, there's Dennis Higgins two months ago
talking about Justin Robuski in Double A Tulsa. He has since moved on to
Triple A Oklahoma City. He's got a fastball mid to upper nineties. He's
got a really nasty slider and a cutter on top of all this. This
is a guy. Eleventh round pick. Tommy John Surgery his junior year at
Oklahoma State, started his career at Clemson. Juco's sophomore year COVID hits shortens
his sophomore year in twenty twenty twenty twenty, once ends up at Oklahoma State.
Tommy John Surgery two years later, he could be making the start for
the Dodgers on Sunday at Dodger Stadium. And oh, by the way,
who does he list as his favorite player growing up, Clayton Kershaw? How
cool is it going to be for him possibly to make his start on Sunday
at Dodger Stadium with Clayton Kershaw in a Dodger dugout. That would be pretty
cool. Oh and on top of all this, this is a guy who
had a broken jaw in college and was hit by a car after a senior
year of high school before he even got to Clemson. It's been through a
lot, and all signs point to him getting a start on Sunday his major
league debut. Justin Robleski just keep this in mind if he gets the ball
on Sunday in the finale of this three game series. He's been a lot
of young arms come up the last year and a half for the Dodgers,
from Image Shean to Kyle Hurtz to Bobby Miller to Gavin Stone. I mean,
we've seen these guys come up and contribute to this Dodger team in one
way or another as a starter, an opener, and a bulketing guy.
Well, Justin Robleski could be the next guy in line to help out this
Dodger team. Left handed hard thrower Justin Robleski. All right, big win
for the Dodgers tonight. That's going to do it for postgame Dodger Talk.
Many thanks to Colin Ye. Thanks to you Dodger fans for being a part
of the show. Thank you for podcasting on the iHeartRadio app or whatever platform
you podcast this show. We appreciate it. Dodgers come back with three runs
in the eighth. Freddie Freeman. The two runs single with two outs gives
him the lead to Oscar Hernandez an RBI double. Three home runs tonight from
Will Smith. Fourth catcher in the history of the Dodgers to do that.
Congratulations to him. Dodgers get the win, eight to five over the Brewers.
They improved a fifty four and thirty five overall on this season. We're
back at it tomorrow on Saturday, Morago Casino. Dodgers on Deck start at
three o'clock in the afternoon, four fifteen. First pitch James Paxton and Freddie
Peralta the pitching matchup. Have a great safe rest of your Friday night.
Stay cool out there, it's a warm one in southern California till tomorrow, so everybody
