Luke Trevino was the opener, went 46 00:02:03.200 --> 00:02:06.439 one inning, gave up a run and Bobby Witt junior 47 00:02:06.640 --> 00:02:09.680 RBI double as the Dodgers were down one to nothing. 48 00:02:09.719 --> 00:02:12.240 He didn't turn it over to Justin Robleski, who was. 49 00:02:12.280 --> 00:02:17.000 Fantastic six shutout inning, scattered three hit, struck out six 50 00:02:17.080 --> 00:02:17.719 along the way. 51 00:02:18.000 --> 00:02:20.000 The Dodgers would give him the lead in the second. 52 00:02:20.000 --> 00:02:23.759 Things to Key K, they will go all day until 53 00:02:23.800 --> 00:02:27.159 you make them stop.

Well, KK this 59 00:02:44.080 --> 00:02:49.680 year has had difficulty hitch hitting against left candidates. He 60 00:02:49.759 --> 00:02:52.560 has no difficulty here in his first event and hits 61 00:02:52.599 --> 00:02:53.680 the home run. 62 00:02:53.599 --> 00:02:56.360 Two run home run off of Chris Boobach and the 63 00:02:56.439 --> 00:02:59.719 Dodgers grabbed a two to one lead. Justin Robleski put 64 00:02:59.759 --> 00:03:02.199 up his zeros along the way. In the sixth, the 65 00:03:02.280 --> 00:03:05.199 Dodgers tacked on a huge insurance run thanks to Will 66 00:03:05.199 --> 00:03:06.280 Smith to two. 67 00:03:06.759 --> 00:03:09.039 And Will swings hits the ball well to center field. 68 00:03:09.080 --> 00:03:11.400 It's heading back toward the wall, still caring. 69 00:03:11.520 --> 00:03:13.080 It is done. 70 00:03:13.599 --> 00:03:17.000 A home run for Smith hit it out just over 71 00:03:17.080 --> 00:03:19.840 the center field wall on a two to two pitch, 72 00:03:20.319 --> 00:03:22.520 and the Dodgers lead it three to one. 73 00:03:22.639 --> 00:03:25.439 For Smith is tenth home run of the season. 74 00:03:25.319 --> 00:03:28.240 Four hundred and twenty one feet to center field the 75 00:03:28.319 --> 00:03:31.039 Kaufman Stadium Will Smith the home run that is the 76 00:03:31.080 --> 00:03:32.400 top tier play of the game, brought to you by 77 00:03:32.479 --> 00:03:35.439 Arco Quality top tier gas for less. Dodgers have three 78 00:03:35.479 --> 00:03:37.639 to one when they tacked on two more in the 79 00:03:37.759 --> 00:03:42.599 seventh Max Munsey in RBI double, micguil Rojas in RBI single, Robleski. 80 00:03:42.680 --> 00:03:45.479 The six shoutout innings turned it over to Kirby Yates, 81 00:03:45.479 --> 00:03:47.759 who struck out one in the eighth inning to put 82 00:03:47.840 --> 00:03:50.360 up a zero. The ninth inning belonged to Jack Dryer, 83 00:03:50.400 --> 00:03:53.919 who struck out two. Dodgers beat the Royals on Sunday 84 00:03:53.960 --> 00:03:57.520 in Kansas City five to one, justin Robleski the win. 85 00:03:57.759 --> 00:03:59.840 Dodgers take two and three in Kansas City. They go 86 00:04:00.080 --> 00:04:02.719 five and one on the road trip. They've won now 87 00:04:02.879 --> 00:04:07.240 six straight series after the win in Kansas City, as 88 00:04:07.280 --> 00:04:10.039 the Dodgers now back home at fifty three and thirty 89 00:04:10.120 --> 00:04:13.599 two on this season, first place atop the NL West. 90 00:04:13.599 --> 00:04:17.360 The Dodgers had a day off yesterday, a golden day 91 00:04:17.399 --> 00:04:20.399 off at home. Meanwhile, the Padres and Giants both lost, 92 00:04:20.879 --> 00:04:23.160 so the Dodgers now seven and a half games up 93 00:04:23.160 --> 00:04:26.199 on San Diego in the NL West. They're eight games 94 00:04:26.319 --> 00:04:29.480 up on the San Francisco Giants, who have started to 95 00:04:29.560 --> 00:04:32.079 fold here, having lost three in a row and seven 96 00:04:32.439 --> 00:04:34.879 of their last ten. Tonight, in the series opener against 97 00:04:34.920 --> 00:04:38.240 the White Sox, Yoshinobu Yamamoto on the mound, first pitch 98 00:04:38.279 --> 00:04:39.879 at seven to ten, and with more we head out 99 00:04:39.879 --> 00:04:42.079 to the Gallpin Motors broadcast booth as we welcome in 100 00:04:42.120 --> 00:04:43.639 Tim Neffett and Rick Monday. 101 00:04:43.639 --> 00:04:46.759 Guys, Tim, thanks very much, edus an absolutely gorgeous night 102 00:04:46.800 --> 00:04:49.160 for baseball here at Dodgers Stadium. The Dodgers in the 103 00:04:49.240 --> 00:04:53.279 Chicago White Sox begin a three game interleague series, and 104 00:04:53.319 --> 00:04:56.439 the Dodgers with a fifty three and thirty two record, 105 00:04:56.839 --> 00:04:59.199 they begin the night seven and a half up on 106 00:04:59.279 --> 00:05:02.839 the sand Eagle Padres, who were reigned out against Philadelphia 107 00:05:02.920 --> 00:05:07.519 earlier today, and eight games ahead of the San Francisco Giants. Meantime, 108 00:05:07.600 --> 00:05:09.720 the White Sox not having as bad a year as 109 00:05:09.720 --> 00:05:11.879 they had a year ago, but it's not that much better. 110 00:05:12.240 --> 00:05:14.600 Twenty eight and fifty six. They're twenty four and a 111 00:05:14.680 --> 00:05:17.839 half out of the American League Central Division. On the road, 112 00:05:18.279 --> 00:05:21.279 the White Sox have the worst record in Major League Baseball, 113 00:05:21.399 --> 00:05:25.399 second worst in franchise history since last year, nine and 114 00:05:25.600 --> 00:05:29.560 thirty two on the road. Yoshinovo Yamamoto hoping the Dodgers 115 00:05:29.600 --> 00:05:32.199 can score some runs for him tonight. He is seven 116 00:05:32.199 --> 00:05:34.759 and six with a two six one ERA and one 117 00:05:34.759 --> 00:05:38.319 of the promising young rookie pitchers in the Major League. 118 00:05:38.319 --> 00:05:41.759 Shane Smith a Rule five selection. In fact, he was 119 00:05:41.800 --> 00:05:44.680 the number one Rule five selection from Milwaukee. He's three 120 00:05:44.759 --> 00:05:48.879 and five, but he's got an ERA of three thirty eight, 121 00:05:48.920 --> 00:05:53.079 which is the best ERA among rookie pitchers in Major 122 00:05:53.160 --> 00:05:56.160 League Baseball. But a little different looking lineup tonight, MO 123 00:05:56.319 --> 00:05:57.160 without Mookie Benz. 124 00:05:57.240 --> 00:05:59.639 Yeah, it is, and for rookie Benz just an off night. 125 00:06:00.120 --> 00:06:02.000 Dave Roberts earlier was talking about it's kind of a 126 00:06:02.079 --> 00:06:05.120 mental off night. He's available to come in and he'll 127 00:06:05.160 --> 00:06:08.000 be back in the lineup tomorrow. Interesting too, is that 128 00:06:08.120 --> 00:06:11.439 Dave was asked, well, is there possibly a letdown when 129 00:06:11.480 --> 00:06:13.120 you look at the ball club the White Sox, As 130 00:06:13.160 --> 00:06:16.800 you mentioned, you know they're approaching twenty five games out 131 00:06:16.800 --> 00:06:19.439 of first place in the American League Central Division, but on 132 00:06:19.480 --> 00:06:21.759 the road they're nine to thirty two. Well, don't let 133 00:06:21.800 --> 00:06:24.519 your guard down because the other teams, we keep talking 134 00:06:24.560 --> 00:06:27.639 about it, they know they're playing against the defending world champions. 135 00:06:27.680 --> 00:06:29.639 They know they're playing against the team that's tied with 136 00:06:29.720 --> 00:06:33.040 the Detroit Tigers the best record in baseball as they 137 00:06:33.079 --> 00:06:34.959 come in tonight. So they're going to be up for 138 00:06:35.000 --> 00:06:36.360 it and they're going to do everything that they can 139 00:06:36.439 --> 00:06:39.079 to upset the Apple cart. Here at Dodger Stadium, every. 140 00:06:38.879 --> 00:06:41.480 Game counts no matter who you're playing, certainly, and the 141 00:06:41.519 --> 00:06:44.879 Dodgers have gained so much ground since the fourteenth of June. 142 00:06:45.160 --> 00:06:47.519 In the last couple of weeks, I mean, they pulled 143 00:06:47.560 --> 00:06:49.839 away from the rest of the division, and they hope 144 00:06:49.839 --> 00:06:51.800 to continue to do that now if the calendar has 145 00:06:51.800 --> 00:06:52.720 flipped to July. 146 00:06:52.720 --> 00:06:55.439 Absolutely and with Dave Roberts lineup, it's kind of interesting 147 00:06:55.519 --> 00:06:58.040 what he has done. Moves Freddie Freeman up to the 148 00:06:58.120 --> 00:07:00.879 number two spot, and for Freeman trying to get going, 149 00:07:00.920 --> 00:07:04.040 you had a good game on Saturday in Kansas City. 150 00:07:04.079 --> 00:07:08.160 Hopefully that sign of good things to come. Michael Conforto's 151 00:07:08.199 --> 00:07:10.480 in there in left field. Tommy Edmond is playing at 152 00:07:10.519 --> 00:07:13.959 saca base and has on Kim will be at short stop, 153 00:07:13.959 --> 00:07:16.240 and if you look at Kim, you know he comes on. 154 00:07:16.360 --> 00:07:19.560 He's hitting at three point eighty three thirty seven games. 155 00:07:19.560 --> 00:07:21.439 He's not played a whole lot as far as nine 156 00:07:21.439 --> 00:07:24.199 innings and then nine innings and nine innings, but he's 157 00:07:24.360 --> 00:07:26.279 very interesting of what he has been able to do 158 00:07:26.319 --> 00:07:28.319 in the month of June, hit three thirty three and. 159 00:07:28.319 --> 00:07:30.759 Been getting on base. And I think it's important to 160 00:07:30.759 --> 00:07:33.560 note he's batting in the nine spot in front of Otani. 161 00:07:34.120 --> 00:07:36.639 And we've talked about it so much that it's important 162 00:07:36.680 --> 00:07:38.879 if you're the number nine hitter in the Dodgers order, 163 00:07:38.879 --> 00:07:41.240 no matter what your name is, that you get on 164 00:07:41.319 --> 00:07:45.000 base and extend the inning and get Otani up with 165 00:07:45.079 --> 00:07:45.639 runners on. 166 00:07:45.720 --> 00:07:48.240 Yeah, and trying to have the threat because it's a 167 00:07:48.240 --> 00:07:50.879 whole different ballgame on how opposing teams are going to 168 00:07:50.920 --> 00:07:54.639 work through Otani if bases are empty versus bases are 169 00:07:54.680 --> 00:07:57.720 occupied with runners. And Otani's not had a whole lot 170 00:07:57.720 --> 00:08:00.439 of advance. In fact, he's one of the only two 171 00:08:00.519 --> 00:08:03.879 guys in this Dodger lineup. It's hitting below three hundred 172 00:08:03.959 --> 00:08:08.199 with runners in scoring position, so Tani and Conforto, everybody 173 00:08:08.199 --> 00:08:11.839 else in this Dodger lineup well over three hundred banning 174 00:08:11.879 --> 00:08:14.600 average with runners in scoring position second and third base. 175 00:08:14.720 --> 00:08:16.920 Again, we mentioned Mookie Betts out of the lineup, Dave 176 00:08:17.000 --> 00:08:20.040 Roberts saying, it's more of a mental day. They know 177 00:08:20.160 --> 00:08:22.360 that he's going through it right now, which means that 178 00:08:22.439 --> 00:08:25.160 he hasn't been hitting the way that we expect Mooki 179 00:08:25.199 --> 00:08:27.160 Betts to hit. He had five total hits on the 180 00:08:27.240 --> 00:08:29.839 road trip, just one in Kansas City in the three 181 00:08:29.879 --> 00:08:30.639 game series. 182 00:08:31.240 --> 00:08:32.039 And what Dave. 183 00:08:31.959 --> 00:08:34.159 Roberts said earlier today was, Yeah, he's going through it, 184 00:08:34.240 --> 00:08:35.759 but he will find his way out. 185 00:08:35.879 --> 00:08:36.120 Yeah. 186 00:08:36.440 --> 00:08:39.360 I found a note today on Mooki Betts just kind 187 00:08:39.360 --> 00:08:41.759 of looking at some numbers, trying to look at tendencies. 188 00:08:41.799 --> 00:08:44.399 You know, what's really giving him problems right handed breaking 189 00:08:44.440 --> 00:08:47.080 balls over the last two years, Mookie Bets. 190 00:08:46.840 --> 00:08:47.480 And this shocked me. 191 00:08:48.080 --> 00:08:51.279 Just a one sixty six average against right handed breaking pitches. 192 00:08:51.759 --> 00:08:54.120 That is a big, big deal, especially when you look 193 00:08:54.159 --> 00:08:56.720 at the fact he has a very low swing and 194 00:08:56.759 --> 00:09:00.799 mis percentage overall, doesn't matter it's right handed or left hand. Yo, Chinobo. 195 00:09:00.879 --> 00:09:03.639 Ya'm a moto pitching for the Dodgers against rookie right 196 00:09:03.639 --> 00:09:07.840 hander Shane Smith, White Sox and Dodgers game one of 197 00:09:07.879 --> 00:09:10.200 an interleague series here at Dodger Stadium. 198 00:09:10.200 --> 00:09:11.840 Tim all right, thank you guys, as we count you 199 00:09:11.879 --> 00:09:14.519 down to first pitch.

All right, 226 00:10:35.840 --> 00:10:37.919 The Dodgers back at it home after a five on 227 00:10:37.919 --> 00:10:42.240 one road trip. Look at the lineup Kirson, No Mookie Bets. 228 00:10:42.200 --> 00:10:45.000 No Mookie bets and you know, nothing to be concerned about. 229 00:10:45.000 --> 00:10:47.399 But really just an off day for him. And when 230 00:10:47.480 --> 00:10:50.200 Dave Roberts was asked about it, he said he wants 231 00:10:50.240 --> 00:10:52.080 it to be a day for a mookie just to 232 00:10:52.200 --> 00:10:55.200 mentally reset. We know this year for Mooky Bets it's 233 00:10:55.200 --> 00:10:58.320 been a grind. Offensively, the results are not where he 234 00:10:58.399 --> 00:11:01.759 wants them to be. But when Dave was talking about it, 235 00:11:02.080 --> 00:11:04.159 he said that the tricky part is, you know, there's 236 00:11:04.159 --> 00:11:06.440 no reason as to why they're not where he wants 237 00:11:06.440 --> 00:11:08.440 it to be. This is someone who works incredibly hard 238 00:11:08.480 --> 00:11:10.120 on his craft day in and day out. We see 239 00:11:10.159 --> 00:11:12.759 him hours ahead of the game doing defensive drills and 240 00:11:12.799 --> 00:11:15.360 he's been really pleased with where he's at defensively and 241 00:11:15.480 --> 00:11:18.799 just that full time transition to shortstop. It's not something 242 00:11:18.799 --> 00:11:21.639 he's overthinking right now when he's making different plays, it's 243 00:11:21.639 --> 00:11:24.679 coming pretty naturally to him. But unfortunately just the results 244 00:11:24.720 --> 00:11:27.440 aren't there offensively. So today is a day for him 245 00:11:27.480 --> 00:11:30.879 to just completely just be down watch a baseball game. 246 00:11:31.039 --> 00:11:33.440 He has been working on a few mechanical changes with 247 00:11:34.080 --> 00:11:36.639 the hitting coaches, so he's probably gonna be in the cage. 248 00:11:36.639 --> 00:11:38.279 Of course it is mooiy Beds. He's still gonna be 249 00:11:38.279 --> 00:11:40.399 working hard to be available if need be, But Dave 250 00:11:40.480 --> 00:11:42.919 does hope to stay away from him. But we've seen 251 00:11:42.919 --> 00:11:45.840 it with Freddie Freeman this year, So today with Mooki 252 00:11:46.240 --> 00:11:48.639 allowing him truly to take a step back kind of 253 00:11:48.679 --> 00:11:51.080 be where he wants to be and then go from there. 254 00:11:51.159 --> 00:11:53.159 But hopefully and kind of have this whole twenty four 255 00:11:53.200 --> 00:11:55.039 hours to reset and then he'll be good to go. 256 00:11:55.159 --> 00:11:56.559 But it's gonna take some time to kind of get 257 00:11:56.600 --> 00:11:58.480 back to where he truly wants to be offensively at 258 00:11:58.519 --> 00:11:58.799 the plan. 259 00:11:59.039 --> 00:12:02.039 Mookie BET's one of seven Dodgers fighting it out for 260 00:12:02.120 --> 00:12:04.519 a start to represent the National League in the All 261 00:12:04.559 --> 00:12:07.440 Star Game in Atlanta, and Dodger fans have a few 262 00:12:07.480 --> 00:12:09.200 more hours nine a m. 263 00:12:09.240 --> 00:12:10.960 Tomorrow to get that vote in. 264 00:12:11.360 --> 00:12:12.960 They you sure do, and you know who we really 265 00:12:12.960 --> 00:12:14.879 want to see and it it would mean the world 266 00:12:14.919 --> 00:12:17.799 to him is Max Munsey. So he would be a 267 00:12:17.840 --> 00:12:20.039 third time. It'd be his third appearance in the All 268 00:12:20.080 --> 00:12:22.559 Star Game if he gets voted in this year, and 269 00:12:22.799 --> 00:12:24.799 but it'd be his first time at third base. And 270 00:12:24.879 --> 00:12:26.759 this is a player who, you know, it's just talking 271 00:12:26.840 --> 00:12:29.240 about the grind of the season, things like that the 272 00:12:29.279 --> 00:12:32.159 first half of the season defensively had a couple mishaps, 273 00:12:32.159 --> 00:12:34.480 a couple of struggles at third base, but has truly 274 00:12:34.519 --> 00:12:36.360 locked it in. And even I was laughing with him 275 00:12:36.360 --> 00:12:38.559 and talking about how it. Eric Carross gets really excited 276 00:12:38.559 --> 00:12:40.360 when he makes a defensive play and he's like, do 277 00:12:40.519 --> 00:12:42.759 it month, you know, We've been hearing a lot of 278 00:12:42.799 --> 00:12:46.000 that recently, and because it's just he has shown so 279 00:12:46.120 --> 00:12:49.000 much confidence at that position. He's gotten things, he's he said, 280 00:12:49.080 --> 00:12:51.159 even right now, he just feels like there are times 281 00:12:51.200 --> 00:12:54.720 where look it's over one hundred miles off the bat 282 00:12:54.799 --> 00:12:58.279 and sometimes it's looking like a slower ball, just because 283 00:12:58.279 --> 00:13:00.879 he's feeling so much more confident defense in the position. 284 00:13:00.919 --> 00:13:02.559 So he said for the fans to kind of come 285 00:13:02.600 --> 00:13:05.720 along this journey with him, see the downs and now 286 00:13:05.799 --> 00:13:07.919 see the ups for his bat to get going. He 287 00:13:07.960 --> 00:13:10.320 said that it was in Arizona he felt like he 288 00:13:10.360 --> 00:13:12.840 finally was getting back to his swing. In that swing 289 00:13:12.879 --> 00:13:16.440 I'm talking pre elbow injury, but back in twenty twenty one, 290 00:13:16.559 --> 00:13:18.799 so he's feeling really good. It would mean the world 291 00:13:18.799 --> 00:13:20.759 for him, of course, along with some others who be 292 00:13:20.840 --> 00:13:23.360 voted in, and we obviously want to see it. Nothing 293 00:13:23.399 --> 00:13:25.879 but Dodgers in representing the National League in the All 294 00:13:25.879 --> 00:13:27.960 Star Game, so we know the coaching staff will be there, 295 00:13:28.120 --> 00:13:30.080 so hopefully we can see some of those players as well. 296 00:13:30.200 --> 00:13:30.840 No doubt about it. 297 00:13:30.919 --> 00:13:33.080 Christ, we appreciate what check in with you after the game. 298 00:13:33.159 --> 00:13:34.759 Still to come here on Dodgers on Deck will dive 299 00:13:34.799 --> 00:13:37.240 deeper to this pitching matchup.

And so he's in the middle 358 00:16:41.360 --> 00:16:44.159 of it. He's trying to find some answers and some feels. 359 00:16:45.320 --> 00:16:47.399 So hopefully today is a day that he can kind 360 00:16:47.399 --> 00:16:50.399 of use that to, you know, propel him through this 361 00:16:50.440 --> 00:16:55.440 homestand and beyond. But I guess, kind of like Freddie, 362 00:16:55.480 --> 00:17:00.200 I just haven't seen Mookie have this extended period of know, 363 00:17:01.720 --> 00:17:02.559 not feeling good. 364 00:17:03.320 --> 00:17:06.400 Is there anything you can point to with Muki for 365 00:17:06.759 --> 00:17:09.480 you know, why he's been having this extended period. 366 00:17:10.599 --> 00:17:14.640 You know what, I don't I don't have an answer. 367 00:17:15.079 --> 00:17:19.160 It's it's an interesting one because I don't think his 368 00:17:19.319 --> 00:17:25.640 misses are consistent. You know, there's there's more chase, and 369 00:17:25.680 --> 00:17:28.319 then there's some fly balls, some off the end of 370 00:17:28.319 --> 00:17:34.279 the bat, some ground balls. So I don't know, it's 371 00:17:34.319 --> 00:17:36.400 just kind of I know the hitting guys are really 372 00:17:36.440 --> 00:17:39.880 working hard to try to figure out some answers. I 373 00:17:39.920 --> 00:17:42.480 do know he's healthy. I think he's stronger than he's 374 00:17:42.480 --> 00:17:45.559 been in quite some time. He's an easy guy to 375 00:17:45.599 --> 00:17:47.759 bet on, and knowing he's going to turn it around 376 00:17:49.200 --> 00:17:53.920 for me, I'm very pleased and not surprised to see 377 00:17:53.920 --> 00:17:57.519 that he's holding down shortstop the way he has, and 378 00:17:57.720 --> 00:18:00.839 I wouldn't expect the defense to kind of, you know, 379 00:18:00.920 --> 00:18:04.480 reflect the offensive struggle. So that's a good thing. But yeah, 380 00:18:04.599 --> 00:18:06.680 I mean, he's just going through it and he'll find 381 00:18:06.720 --> 00:18:07.240 his way out. 382 00:18:07.480 --> 00:18:07.799 All right. 383 00:18:07.839 --> 00:18:10.960 There's the manager, Dave Roberts, talking about Mookie Bets getting 384 00:18:10.960 --> 00:18:14.400 the night off tonight and not an issue with his health. 385 00:18:14.480 --> 00:18:16.839 Just give him him a day off and some arrest. 386 00:18:16.920 --> 00:18:19.319 All right, we'll continue here on Dodgers on Deck.
