The Dodgers and Diamondbacks battling out in 25 00:01:13.599 --> 00:01:17.079 the NL West going into this series, the Dodgers had 26 00:01:17.120 --> 00:01:20.640 a four game lead with a four game series underway, 27 00:01:20.840 --> 00:01:23.400 and these two teams last night, well, they provided a 28 00:01:23.439 --> 00:01:27.519 lot of power, combining for nineteen runs and twenty three hits. 29 00:01:27.560 --> 00:01:29.480 The Dodgers. They scored early and off. 30 00:01:29.519 --> 00:01:31.879 In first inning, Freddie Freeman a two run home run 31 00:01:31.920 --> 00:01:35.079 and the Dodgers jumped out to a two to nothing lead. However, 32 00:01:35.239 --> 00:01:37.519 the Snakes tied it with two runs in the bottom 33 00:01:37.519 --> 00:01:40.200 of the first off Clayton Kershaw. As The Dodgers then 34 00:01:40.239 --> 00:01:42.400 would come back and score three runs in the top 35 00:01:42.439 --> 00:01:44.680 of the second to take a five to lead. 36 00:01:44.719 --> 00:01:45.599 It was back and forth. 37 00:01:45.640 --> 00:01:48.359 The Snakes would slither their way back into this game, 38 00:01:48.400 --> 00:01:50.280 tying it at five in the third inning. 39 00:01:50.599 --> 00:01:52.359 You knew we were gonna have a high scoring game. 40 00:01:52.640 --> 00:01:55.359 In the sixth, the game was still tied when the 41 00:01:55.400 --> 00:01:58.480 Dodgers caught a break. A wild pitch scored Max Moncie 42 00:01:58.680 --> 00:02:00.680 and the Dodgers took the leads six to five. That 43 00:02:00.799 --> 00:02:04.040 in the seventh, Dodgers with some breathing room two to 44 00:02:04.079 --> 00:02:05.760 on for Will Smith. 45 00:02:05.640 --> 00:02:08.759 To two, Smith swings hits a drive to left Indeep 46 00:02:09.199 --> 00:02:11.599 calling back is Corry, Elly's to the wall. 47 00:02:11.719 --> 00:02:16.960 It's gone. It's a three run home run to Will Smith. Oh, 48 00:02:17.080 --> 00:02:18.879 where there's a Will, there's a wave. 49 00:02:19.479 --> 00:02:22.719 And Smith hits a three run shot of the Dodgers 50 00:02:22.800 --> 00:02:24.199 lead at nine to five. 51 00:02:24.680 --> 00:02:27.879 Three run home run for Will Smith, huge for a 52 00:02:27.960 --> 00:02:30.120 guy who has been struggling at the plate since the 53 00:02:30.159 --> 00:02:33.479 All Star Break. His seventeenth home run of this season. 54 00:02:33.919 --> 00:02:36.840 Dodgers up nine to five. In the eighth, inity the 55 00:02:36.919 --> 00:02:40.039 Dodgers with an insurance run that proved to be big, 56 00:02:40.120 --> 00:02:42.719 and it came from the bat of show Hey t. 57 00:02:42.879 --> 00:02:45.439 Wat stretch of the old two, swung on a hammer 58 00:02:45.599 --> 00:02:48.919 left field. This one's deep, this one's heading back toward 59 00:02:48.960 --> 00:02:52.479 the wall. It's got a home run number forty three. 60 00:02:53.560 --> 00:02:56.879 The first Major leaguer to have forty three home runs 61 00:02:56.960 --> 00:03:01.560 forty three stolen bases. He passed us Alex Rodriguez to 62 00:03:01.639 --> 00:03:05.280 the forty two to forty two club. Show Hey Oldtani 63 00:03:05.680 --> 00:03:08.039 with an opposite field homer and it's ten to. 64 00:03:08.159 --> 00:03:11.879 Five home run number forty three on this season for 65 00:03:12.120 --> 00:03:15.520 show a O. Tawny with the stolen base earlier. He's 66 00:03:15.599 --> 00:03:19.520 now a forty three to forty three player, forty three 67 00:03:19.599 --> 00:03:22.680 home runs, forty three stolen bases, the only player in 68 00:03:22.719 --> 00:03:25.520 the history of the game to reach this accomplishment, and 69 00:03:25.639 --> 00:03:27.759 he still got a month of the season to go. 70 00:03:28.439 --> 00:03:30.879 Speaking of numbers, the Dodgers bullpen had to get the 71 00:03:30.960 --> 00:03:33.400 final twenty four out of the game to pick up 72 00:03:33.439 --> 00:03:36.840 Clayton Kershaw, who left the game with a toe injury. 73 00:03:37.159 --> 00:03:40.120 Dave Roberts pieced it together to get the win. Dodgers 74 00:03:40.439 --> 00:03:43.800 beat the Diamondbacks last night, ten to nine, with the 75 00:03:43.840 --> 00:03:46.120 winner now eighty one and fifty four, a five game 76 00:03:46.240 --> 00:03:50.000 lead in the division over both the Diamondbacks and the Padres. Tonight, 77 00:03:50.240 --> 00:03:52.360 they're back at it, game two of this four game 78 00:03:52.479 --> 00:03:55.840 series in the Desert. Gavin Stone on the mound, first pitch, 79 00:03:55.919 --> 00:03:57.759 coming up at five to ten, and with more we 80 00:03:57.840 --> 00:04:00.199 head out to the Gallpin Motors broadcast booth as we 81 00:04:00.319 --> 00:04:04.599 say hello to Rick Monday and Tim Deppritt, guys, Tim. 82 00:04:04.520 --> 00:04:05.240 Thank you very much. 83 00:04:05.400 --> 00:04:09.120 Rufe closed again here this evening in Phoenix, Arizona. As 84 00:04:09.199 --> 00:04:12.800 the Dodgers and Diamondbacks play game two of this four 85 00:04:12.919 --> 00:04:17.040 game Labor Day weekend series. The Dodgers now five games 86 00:04:17.120 --> 00:04:20.319 up on both the Diamondbacks and the Padres, entering play tonight, 87 00:04:20.839 --> 00:04:23.439 and they'll send Gavin Stone to the mind eleven and 88 00:04:23.600 --> 00:04:26.720 five against Merrill Kelly. He is four and oero, but 89 00:04:26.800 --> 00:04:29.240 he battled a shoulder problem earlier this year that has 90 00:04:29.319 --> 00:04:33.199 limited his innings. And well, first and foremost, what we 91 00:04:33.319 --> 00:04:36.040 saw from Shoho Tonty last night, at the eleventh time 92 00:04:36.120 --> 00:04:37.839 this year, he has stolen a base and hit a 93 00:04:37.839 --> 00:04:39.839 home run in the same game. He is now the 94 00:04:39.879 --> 00:04:42.560 first human being ever to have forty three home runts 95 00:04:43.000 --> 00:04:47.360 had forty three stolen bases in a single season, and 96 00:04:47.519 --> 00:04:49.120 we haven't even reached September. 97 00:04:49.240 --> 00:04:51.639 No, every time, because of hopefully you start now to 98 00:04:51.720 --> 00:04:54.399 grab the record book and see exactly where he's going 99 00:04:54.480 --> 00:04:56.839 to be placing in that record book itself. I mean 100 00:04:57.360 --> 00:04:59.680 you start to look at August and well, the batting average, 101 00:04:59.720 --> 00:05:03.199 the number is not particularly high. How about the fact 102 00:05:03.279 --> 00:05:05.199 in the month of August you're about to close it 103 00:05:05.279 --> 00:05:09.800 out tonight eleven home runs, fifteen stolen bases, and you 104 00:05:09.879 --> 00:05:12.000 start to say, well, has anyone else been able to 105 00:05:12.079 --> 00:05:14.560 do that? Well, the last to do that Carlos Beltron. 106 00:05:15.000 --> 00:05:17.639 That was in August of two thousand and four. So 107 00:05:17.879 --> 00:05:20.079 it's one of those things you start to look at 108 00:05:20.439 --> 00:05:23.160 opportunities and when he comes to a home plate, I 109 00:05:23.240 --> 00:05:25.639 keeps saying it over and over, nobody leaves their seats, 110 00:05:25.680 --> 00:05:26.680 and for very good reason. 111 00:05:26.759 --> 00:05:28.600 And it turned out that eighth inning home run off 112 00:05:28.720 --> 00:05:31.480 of Paul Seawall, that solo shot to the opposite field, 113 00:05:32.079 --> 00:05:32.600 turned out to. 114 00:05:32.600 --> 00:05:34.959 Be the game winning run. Yeah, and who would have fought. 115 00:05:35.040 --> 00:05:36.759 And for the Dodgers, they need to tighten the belt. 116 00:05:37.040 --> 00:05:39.079 One thing that they were able to do last night 117 00:05:40.000 --> 00:05:42.480 was to fill up the box score because the Dodgers 118 00:05:42.639 --> 00:05:47.600 used a truckload of relievers and it was Anthony Bond 119 00:05:47.639 --> 00:05:50.399 who had to kind of struggle in that night. Then 120 00:05:50.519 --> 00:05:53.240 he gave up four runs, gave up a big home run, 121 00:05:53.319 --> 00:05:54.959 there was a wild pitch on top of it. But 122 00:05:55.079 --> 00:05:58.800 you start to look in particular at Alex Besia an 123 00:05:58.879 --> 00:06:02.079 inning and a third. Ifvessie is er, it's one of 124 00:06:02.160 --> 00:06:04.800 the top end relievers that just one seventy seven at 125 00:06:04.839 --> 00:06:09.399 this particular time. He wasn't the only one. Razor Pischwell, Coropek, Pischwell, 126 00:06:09.680 --> 00:06:13.199 Hudson came on. Trinon also did not allow a run either. 127 00:06:13.560 --> 00:06:15.959 So this is a ball club one good thing. Yes, 128 00:06:16.000 --> 00:06:17.800 the bullpen had to work a lot last night, but 129 00:06:17.920 --> 00:06:20.240 they were able to spread the load around a lot 130 00:06:20.279 --> 00:06:20.920 of different. 131 00:06:20.720 --> 00:06:23.800 Arms and they're hoping for a good outing from Gavin Stone, 132 00:06:23.800 --> 00:06:25.360 at least a deep one. But as far as the 133 00:06:25.399 --> 00:06:29.000 bullpen goes, we do know that Brett Honeywell is back. 134 00:06:29.600 --> 00:06:34.720 He is here in uniform and also Ben Casparius called 135 00:06:34.800 --> 00:06:38.519 up from Triple A. So roster moves expected tonight for 136 00:06:38.720 --> 00:06:39.399 the Dodgers. 137 00:06:39.759 --> 00:06:41.560 They just need to get some fresh arms in the pen. 138 00:06:41.720 --> 00:06:44.680 You had not heard anything officially with the Clayton krus show. 139 00:06:44.800 --> 00:06:47.680 Very frustrating last night. Had to leave one inning plus 140 00:06:47.800 --> 00:06:50.639 one batter, and we had been told, well, it was 141 00:06:50.680 --> 00:06:53.240 painted in the left big toast. More than that, he's 142 00:06:53.279 --> 00:06:56.399 got bone spurs and that anyone that's had that understand 143 00:06:57.360 --> 00:06:59.879 it's extremely painful and he's not able to push off 144 00:07:00.160 --> 00:07:01.720 the left foot or Oh, so that's going to be 145 00:07:01.759 --> 00:07:04.120 an update. That's the work in progress. Meanwhile, the Dodgers 146 00:07:04.199 --> 00:07:07.439 have to keep plugging along little different lineup tonight at 147 00:07:07.519 --> 00:07:09.879 least at the bottom. Kevin Kiermeyer will get the start 148 00:07:09.959 --> 00:07:12.560 in playing center field for the rest topp to a 149 00:07:12.600 --> 00:07:14.959 bout him pretty much the same. Freddie Freeman, by the way, 150 00:07:15.279 --> 00:07:17.759 missed a couple of games because of a very sore 151 00:07:18.120 --> 00:07:21.040 fractured middle fingers right hand. All he did last night 152 00:07:21.120 --> 00:07:23.839 first to bat returning hit a home run opposite way. 153 00:07:24.040 --> 00:07:27.160 He's eighteenth of the season, so the Dodgers with three 154 00:07:27.240 --> 00:07:31.000 home runs in the game last night. Will Smith's seventh 155 00:07:31.040 --> 00:07:32.920 and a three run shot was the one that opened 156 00:07:32.959 --> 00:07:35.800 it up for the Dodgers. That was a long time 157 00:07:35.879 --> 00:07:38.680 coming for will Smith when he hit his seventeenth of 158 00:07:38.839 --> 00:07:42.199 the season. With a win today, the Dodgers will guarantee 159 00:07:42.240 --> 00:07:45.000 themselves at least a split of the season series with 160 00:07:45.079 --> 00:07:47.519 the Diamondbacks, but as far as the season goes, they 161 00:07:47.680 --> 00:07:51.639 guarantee themselves a winning campaign with their eighty second win, 162 00:07:51.759 --> 00:07:55.120 and it would be the fourteenth consecutive winning season, which 163 00:07:55.120 --> 00:07:58.519 would be a franchise record. So the Dodgers and the 164 00:07:58.600 --> 00:08:00.959 Diamondbacks getting ready to go at it in Game two. 165 00:08:01.360 --> 00:08:05.279 Gavin Stolen for the Dodgers, Merril Kelly for the Diamondbacks. 166 00:08:05.360 --> 00:08:08.319 Tim all Right, as we cunt you down to first pitch. 167 00:08:08.399 --> 00:08:11.360 Dodger fans, get your game day meal on at Shaky's 168 00:08:11.360 --> 00:08:14.839 Pizza Parlor.

He'll be in the second with 192 00:09:25.559 --> 00:09:27.679 a double, his thirtieth double. 193 00:09:27.440 --> 00:09:31.799 Of the season. Here comes the two.

He passes Alex Rodriguez in the forty two 201 00:09:58.320 --> 00:09:59.399 to forty two club. 202 00:10:00.039 --> 00:10:02.919 Joh Hey Otani two for four, a double, a home run, 203 00:10:03.000 --> 00:10:05.879 a stolen base.

He is well on his 207 00:10:15.919 --> 00:10:21.120 way to a fifty fifty season. Wow Otani Rewind brought 208 00:10:21.120 --> 00:10:23.120 to you by eto N's Oil on Chow, Japan's number 209 00:10:23.159 --> 00:10:25.639 one Green Tea and the Tea the showy Otani Loves 210 00:10:25.720 --> 00:10:29.240 and drinks available at local Diso stores, Amazon and etoin 211 00:10:29.360 --> 00:10:29.720 dot com. 212 00:10:30.000 --> 00:10:32.120 That's it O e N dot Com. 213 00:10:32.919 --> 00:10:36.759 This is Kirston's Corner with Kirston Wasson. 214 00:10:37.600 --> 00:10:40.600 Hey Kirson now joins us from the field in Arizona. 215 00:10:40.879 --> 00:10:43.519 Packed house tonight at Chase Field for the Dodgers and 216 00:10:43.600 --> 00:10:46.000 Dimebacks game two of this four game series. But the 217 00:10:46.080 --> 00:10:49.559 big news Kirston Clayton Kershaw the bone spur in the 218 00:10:49.720 --> 00:10:51.320 toe and now he's going. 219 00:10:51.200 --> 00:10:53.519 On the iol exactly. 220 00:10:53.639 --> 00:10:54.919 And you know, we saw him come out of the 221 00:10:54.960 --> 00:10:58.080 game after facing that first batter, and it was interesting 222 00:10:58.120 --> 00:11:01.440 because Steve Roberts got out there so quickly. He knew 223 00:11:01.480 --> 00:11:03.759 that something was going on in the training staff. So 224 00:11:03.840 --> 00:11:05.840 we found it after the game. He's dealing with bone 225 00:11:05.879 --> 00:11:08.000 fers and his last big so it's something that he's 226 00:11:08.039 --> 00:11:10.159 been dealing with, I mean for a couple of years now, 227 00:11:10.360 --> 00:11:13.720 just here and there though it's still pretty swollen to say. 228 00:11:13.799 --> 00:11:16.240 Dave Roberts was saying, so they are placing him on 229 00:11:16.399 --> 00:11:19.679 the il and Ben Kasparius is going to be activated. 230 00:11:19.960 --> 00:11:22.799 He's been with the team once before, but he wasn't 231 00:11:22.799 --> 00:11:24.879 able to make his male gave you at that time. 232 00:11:25.039 --> 00:11:26.440 But you look at it kind of the out of 233 00:11:26.519 --> 00:11:29.039 the bullpen right now, it does seem like today will 234 00:11:29.080 --> 00:11:30.679 be the day that he will be called out of 235 00:11:30.720 --> 00:11:32.320 the bullpens to help out Gavin Stone. 236 00:11:32.360 --> 00:11:34.440 It means, yeah, no doubt we'll hear from Ben coming 237 00:11:34.519 --> 00:11:36.039 up in just a little bit. But as you mentioned, 238 00:11:36.080 --> 00:11:37.600 he can give him length. This is a guy who 239 00:11:37.639 --> 00:11:40.440 started games and can give him however long they need 240 00:11:40.559 --> 00:11:43.840 behind Gavin Stone, and that's certainly what this Dodgers' bullpen 241 00:11:43.919 --> 00:11:45.519 needs right now. Kurris is brought to you by Cars 242 00:11:45.559 --> 00:11:47.519 for Kids. The easiest way to get rid of her 243 00:11:47.519 --> 00:11:50.000 old car. Donate today and your car could be picked 244 00:11:50.039 --> 00:11:53.120 up tomorrow. It's that easy, donating now at carsfrokids dot org. 245 00:11:53.240 --> 00:11:56.200 That's cars with a k Tyler Glass. Now, what's the 246 00:11:56.320 --> 00:11:58.320 latest with this elbow and how is he progressing? 247 00:11:59.159 --> 00:11:59.360 Yeah? 248 00:12:00.200 --> 00:12:02.399 Well, so we still just on flat ground playing catch. 249 00:12:02.559 --> 00:12:04.639 Was able to stretch out a little bit more today 250 00:12:04.960 --> 00:12:07.279 and he was saying, what's next for him is going 251 00:12:07.399 --> 00:12:09.639 to be just throwing on flat ground, but with a 252 00:12:09.720 --> 00:12:12.639 little bit more velocity and a little bit more umph 253 00:12:12.759 --> 00:12:15.039 behind it. So once he can get through that, he'll 254 00:12:15.080 --> 00:12:17.440 start with his bullpens. He couldn't even know what the 255 00:12:17.600 --> 00:12:21.360 exact timeline is just yet, but he is optimistic for 256 00:12:21.440 --> 00:12:24.639 a return during the regular season. Dave Roberts was saying 257 00:12:24.720 --> 00:12:27.120 that best case scenario he comes back and he can 258 00:12:27.200 --> 00:12:31.159 make three starts before the postseason. That's relatively similar to 259 00:12:31.320 --> 00:12:34.360 Clayton Kershaw as well. Best get scenario for Clayton this 260 00:12:34.759 --> 00:12:36.919 after the fifteen day Il said he can get three 261 00:12:37.000 --> 00:12:40.320 starts down before the postseason as well, so with just 262 00:12:40.360 --> 00:12:42.879 going back to Kylie Rockmount though for him, he said 263 00:12:42.919 --> 00:12:46.279 the elbow tendonitis that pain has decided. It was really 264 00:12:46.480 --> 00:12:49.960 due to just how he was rolling into home plate. 265 00:12:50.120 --> 00:12:53.120 He's kind of stressing his arm there and so it's 266 00:12:53.240 --> 00:12:56.559 now kind of adjustice and mechanical things so that he 267 00:12:56.759 --> 00:12:59.360 is more straight on to home plate in a much 268 00:12:59.399 --> 00:13:02.200 better phosition. But he finds more success that way. Now 269 00:13:02.279 --> 00:13:04.320 getting back to that, that's release some of that pressure. 270 00:13:04.720 --> 00:13:06.399 We does feel like he's in a good spot. It's 271 00:13:06.480 --> 00:13:08.759 now just about continuing with his build. 272 00:13:08.600 --> 00:13:11.639 Up Process's hope we can build it up here in September. 273 00:13:11.799 --> 00:13:14.240 We flipped the calendar and we get ready for October 274 00:13:14.320 --> 00:13:17.799 baseball with hopefully Tyler Glass now healthy and ready to go. Kirsten, 275 00:13:17.879 --> 00:13:19.480 we appreciate it. We'll check out with you after the 276 00:13:19.519 --> 00:13:21.759 game still to come.

This is Dodger insider David Basse. 358 00:17:13.880 --> 00:17:16.519 All Right, DV A lot of talk about Dodgers pitchers 359 00:17:16.599 --> 00:17:20.079 and injuries lately, Bruce dark Routerol though they can use 360 00:17:20.119 --> 00:17:21.160 another arm in the bullpen. 361 00:17:21.240 --> 00:17:22.680 What's the latest on the Bozuka. 362 00:17:22.960 --> 00:17:24.720 Yeah, it was great to see him make the trip 363 00:17:24.799 --> 00:17:28.480 out here to Arizona. He threw a simulated game out 364 00:17:28.599 --> 00:17:31.559 here at Chase Field and all went well, and he 365 00:17:31.680 --> 00:17:34.839 will be headed out for a rehabit simon in Oklahoma 366 00:17:34.960 --> 00:17:38.240 City on Monday while the Dodgers are closing out this 367 00:17:38.440 --> 00:17:42.079 series in the desert. And remember he was helped off 368 00:17:42.160 --> 00:17:45.559 the field after his first nine pitches of the season, 369 00:17:45.640 --> 00:17:48.880 where the Dodgers and Grado thought his season was over. 370 00:17:49.079 --> 00:17:52.799 After that game, they called it a Grade three right 371 00:17:52.880 --> 00:17:56.160 hand string strain, and then twenty four hours later they 372 00:17:56.319 --> 00:17:59.559 downgraded it to a Grade one. And look, there's a 373 00:17:59.640 --> 00:18:02.400 lot of different levels of pain tolerance from a lot 374 00:18:02.480 --> 00:18:06.480 of different people, and certainly the Dodgers and Graderol are 375 00:18:06.559 --> 00:18:09.400 relieved that it was only a Grade one ham string strain. 376 00:18:09.839 --> 00:18:13.200 And when the Dodgers were in Los Angeles tim before 377 00:18:13.240 --> 00:18:15.559 they left for this road trip, it feels like one 378 00:18:15.599 --> 00:18:19.640 of the biggest boxes was checked as graderol was participating 379 00:18:19.720 --> 00:18:23.119 in pitchers fielding practice, and he reported no pain and 380 00:18:23.240 --> 00:18:26.680 no restrictions in that right ham string strain. So because 381 00:18:26.720 --> 00:18:29.359 he's a reliever, he won't need that much of a 382 00:18:29.440 --> 00:18:33.359 rehab stint. And it's very conceivable the Dodgers could have 383 00:18:33.519 --> 00:18:37.279 the Bazooka back when they returned to Dodgers Stadium next Friday. 384 00:18:37.480 --> 00:18:39.599 They could definitely use some help in the bullpen, David. 385 00:18:39.759 --> 00:18:43.279 Yesterday, seven different relievers came through that gate to help 386 00:18:43.319 --> 00:18:45.680 out to get twenty four of the out's been Clayton 387 00:18:45.759 --> 00:18:48.319 Kershaw went down, Joe Kelly threw the most pitches he 388 00:18:48.400 --> 00:18:51.200 has in years forty six and in inning and two thirds. 389 00:18:51.400 --> 00:18:55.400 With that being said, which relievers can be available tonight? 390 00:18:56.160 --> 00:18:58.279 Well, if you look back at that game last night, 391 00:18:58.400 --> 00:19:01.359 Jujuenio Suarez, who it hit a big three run home 392 00:19:01.440 --> 00:19:04.400 run in the ninth inning to make it interesting, had 393 00:19:04.440 --> 00:19:06.279 one of the worst at bats of the game in 394 00:19:06.400 --> 00:19:09.720 the fifth inning. He did Ryan Brazier and the Dodgers 395 00:19:09.839 --> 00:19:13.200 a huge favor by swinging at the first pitch in 396 00:19:13.279 --> 00:19:17.559 that inning and also grounding into a double play. All 397 00:19:17.640 --> 00:19:21.160 in all, Brazier only threw seven pitches, so Dave Roberts 398 00:19:21.200 --> 00:19:24.240 had two choices, bring Brazier out for the sixth inning 399 00:19:24.480 --> 00:19:27.519 or save him for today. He opted to bring in 400 00:19:27.640 --> 00:19:30.759 Michael Kopek last night in the sixth inning, so Brazier 401 00:19:31.240 --> 00:19:35.119
