In just a few minutes, we'll check in 39 00:01:42.359 --> 00:01:44.319 with Tim Neverett and Rick Monday. 40 00:01:43.959 --> 00:01:46.200 Out the Gallpin Motors Broadcast booth. 41 00:01:46.280 --> 00:01:46.400 Well. 42 00:01:46.480 --> 00:01:50.400 Last night, Dustin May got the start a rocky four 43 00:01:50.480 --> 00:01:52.879 Indians at which he gave up four runs on six 44 00:01:53.000 --> 00:01:56.840 HiT's through eighty four pitches, just forty six for strikes. 45 00:01:56.879 --> 00:02:00.640 The Dodgers offense gave him an instant lead. Tani e 46 00:02:00.719 --> 00:02:02.640 lead off home run in the first is eight lead 47 00:02:02.719 --> 00:02:04.879 off home run of the season, number twenty nine on 48 00:02:04.920 --> 00:02:07.599 the year, and the Dodgers led one to nothing, but 49 00:02:07.799 --> 00:02:10.240 Salvador Perez an RBI single in the bottom of the 50 00:02:10.280 --> 00:02:13.360 first that even things up at one. In the second, 51 00:02:13.439 --> 00:02:16.560 the Dodgers yet again gave Dustin maya lead, this time 52 00:02:16.639 --> 00:02:17.840 thanks to Max Munsey. 53 00:02:18.240 --> 00:02:19.159 Three won the Mounsie. 54 00:02:19.199 --> 00:02:19.719 He swings. 55 00:02:19.800 --> 00:02:22.639 It's a high fly ball deep center field. It's heading 56 00:02:22.680 --> 00:02:25.520 back to the wall and is god it's a homer. 57 00:02:25.759 --> 00:02:30.639 Another one as Maxwell swings the silver hammer in Kansas City. 58 00:02:31.240 --> 00:02:35.800 He's done it again, Mounsey with his thirteenth home run 59 00:02:35.840 --> 00:02:38.520 and the Dodgers lead at three to one. 60 00:02:38.520 --> 00:02:42.680 Did we mention the sound when the ball hits the 61 00:02:42.719 --> 00:02:46.919 bat and you hit it solidly, There's something very distinctive 62 00:02:46.960 --> 00:02:47.360 about it. 63 00:02:47.599 --> 00:02:51.240 He crushed it over four hundred feet to straightaway center field, 64 00:02:51.280 --> 00:02:54.080 number thirteen on this season for Max Munsey, a two 65 00:02:54.159 --> 00:02:57.240 run shot, his fourth home run in his last four games. 66 00:02:57.240 --> 00:02:58.479 Dodgers up three to one. 67 00:02:58.639 --> 00:03:01.800 However, Dustin May would give back those runs and the 68 00:03:01.960 --> 00:03:04.240 lead as the Royal score three in the bottom of 69 00:03:04.240 --> 00:03:06.479 the second to go up four to three. Dustin May 70 00:03:06.520 --> 00:03:09.000 went the four innings, turned it over to the Dodgers' bullpen, 71 00:03:09.199 --> 00:03:13.240 who put up zeros, all of them Luis Garcia, Lou Trevino, 72 00:03:13.719 --> 00:03:17.840 Anthony Bonda, Alex Vessi and then Tanner Scott. The Dodgers 73 00:03:17.879 --> 00:03:20.240 would grab the lead in the fifth show, Hey Otani 74 00:03:20.280 --> 00:03:23.120 and RBI triple that tied the game at four. Then 75 00:03:23.159 --> 00:03:25.840 Mookie Betts and RBI single game of five to four lead. 76 00:03:26.199 --> 00:03:29.319 With that lead, the Dodgers' bullpen put up those zeros 77 00:03:29.560 --> 00:03:32.159 and it got to the ninth inning a little hairy 78 00:03:32.199 --> 00:03:38.400 for Tanner Scott. One out, bases loaded and Jack Kaglione 79 00:03:38.479 --> 00:03:38.680 up to. 80 00:03:38.719 --> 00:03:42.479 Bat, Hitch to Caglion. He swing hits the ground bowl. 81 00:03:42.479 --> 00:03:45.000 In a second, Edmond goes to pets one on the 82 00:03:45.039 --> 00:03:45.919 first it's. 83 00:03:45.759 --> 00:03:48.400 Low dugout thy Freeman. He's got it. 84 00:03:50.199 --> 00:03:51.840 And the Dodgers. 85 00:03:55.560 --> 00:03:56.599 They win this game. 86 00:03:56.680 --> 00:04:00.439 We're gonna possibly have a challenge, and we'll not have 87 00:04:00.479 --> 00:04:03.360 the challenge. Kansas City was looking at it. And a 88 00:04:03.520 --> 00:04:06.719 double play ends in with the bases loaded, and you 89 00:04:06.800 --> 00:04:08.080 can exhale. 90 00:04:08.039 --> 00:04:10.960 No challenge needed when you got Freddy Freeman at first 91 00:04:11.000 --> 00:04:14.960 base stretch makes the scoop hangs onto the ball on 92 00:04:15.000 --> 00:04:17.519 the pick on the one hot from Mookie Bets from 93 00:04:17.560 --> 00:04:21.279 second base. Double play converted. Dodgers hang on for a 94 00:04:21.399 --> 00:04:24.439 five to four win over the Kansas City Royals last 95 00:04:24.519 --> 00:04:27.360 night Luke Trevino gets the winning relief of Dustin may Tanner. 96 00:04:27.439 --> 00:04:30.560 Scott hangs on to get his eighteenth save of the season, 97 00:04:30.639 --> 00:04:34.040 his eight straight successful save as the Dodgers c show 98 00:04:34.040 --> 00:04:36.560 hel Tani go two for three in RBI triple a 99 00:04:36.639 --> 00:04:39.199 home run, on base three times. The Dodgers had four 100 00:04:39.279 --> 00:04:41.480 hits in the game. In all four of those hits 101 00:04:41.639 --> 00:04:44.480 drove in runs. As the Dodgers improved to fifty two 102 00:04:44.480 --> 00:04:46.959 and thirty one on this season, they're leading the division 103 00:04:46.959 --> 00:04:49.120 now six and a half games over the Giants, seven 104 00:04:49.199 --> 00:04:52.079 games over the San Diego Padres, and today they give 105 00:04:52.160 --> 00:04:55.560 the ball to show Hey O Tawny, Game two of 106 00:04:55.600 --> 00:04:58.439 this three game weekend set from Kansas City. First pitch 107 00:04:58.439 --> 00:04:59.879 of one ten and with more we head out to 108 00:04:59.879 --> 00:05:02.439 the the Galloping Motors broadcast booth as we say good 109 00:05:02.480 --> 00:05:04.439 afternoon to Tim Neverett and Rick Monday. 110 00:05:04.439 --> 00:05:06.040 Guys, Tim, thanks very much. 111 00:05:06.160 --> 00:05:08.879 It's a warm Saturday afternoon and Kansas City here at 112 00:05:08.959 --> 00:05:12.360 Kaufman Stadium, the Dodgers and the Royals getting set for 113 00:05:12.399 --> 00:05:15.319 the middle frame of this three game set. A thriller 114 00:05:15.360 --> 00:05:18.720 here last night five to four. The Dodgers would hang 115 00:05:18.800 --> 00:05:21.480 on and win, but Kansas City loaded the basis with 116 00:05:21.639 --> 00:05:25.360 one out and the big double play hit into by 117 00:05:25.439 --> 00:05:29.480 Jack Caglion and the play that saved the game Freddie 118 00:05:29.519 --> 00:05:31.759 Freeman at first base with that scoop. And that was 119 00:05:31.839 --> 00:05:35.079 a part of the game, but certainly the most memorable 120 00:05:35.120 --> 00:05:36.040 part is how it ended. 121 00:05:36.480 --> 00:05:39.480 I tell you what, that was just a scintillating play 122 00:05:39.639 --> 00:05:43.519 and just watching some of the work earlier today, neither 123 00:05:43.560 --> 00:05:45.839 ball club took banning practice for the Dodgers as they 124 00:05:45.839 --> 00:05:48.399 normally did. They took some defense on the field, in 125 00:05:48.480 --> 00:05:52.000 particular with the infield and just watching them practice the 126 00:05:52.040 --> 00:05:54.439 double play balls. It paid off last night to end 127 00:05:54.439 --> 00:05:54.920 the ball game. 128 00:05:55.279 --> 00:05:58.199 So today show heel Tani will make the start. He 129 00:05:58.279 --> 00:06:00.879 will make his third Star all right of the season. 130 00:06:00.879 --> 00:06:03.040 And Dave Robert's telling us just a short time ago, 131 00:06:03.600 --> 00:06:05.680 as long as there's not too much stress in the 132 00:06:05.720 --> 00:06:07.920 first inning, they want to try to get him through 133 00:06:07.959 --> 00:06:10.079 two innings today, continue his progression. 134 00:06:10.120 --> 00:06:13.079 You know what we've also seen. We have seen the 135 00:06:13.079 --> 00:06:16.959 emergence of velocity also with Otani. I understand, yes, the 136 00:06:16.959 --> 00:06:20.240 emotions and the adrenaline, no question about that. He's averaging 137 00:06:20.319 --> 00:06:22.439 over the first two outings that we have seen ninety 138 00:06:22.439 --> 00:06:24.959 eight point six. We've also seen him touch one hundred 139 00:06:24.959 --> 00:06:27.759 miles an hour more so than looking. 140 00:06:27.480 --> 00:06:28.360 At the velocity. 141 00:06:28.439 --> 00:06:31.319 That's nice to have, But put that aside, the fact 142 00:06:31.319 --> 00:06:33.439 that he's had pretty good command of the strike zone 143 00:06:33.560 --> 00:06:36.160 and moving things around and throwing the splitter on top 144 00:06:36.199 --> 00:06:37.600 of it is rather impressive. 145 00:06:37.639 --> 00:06:39.839 And oh not to mention a five game hitting streak 146 00:06:40.759 --> 00:06:44.399 another home run last night. Offensively, he's gotting it done. 147 00:06:44.560 --> 00:06:47.279 But here's the difference with Otani today. His first two 148 00:06:47.319 --> 00:06:49.800 starts were at home, so he was on the mound first. 149 00:06:49.800 --> 00:06:53.319 He came from the bullpen onto the mound, pitched the inning, 150 00:06:53.439 --> 00:06:56.040 then went to the dugout and got ready to hit. 151 00:06:56.240 --> 00:06:57.399 Today's going to be the opposite. 152 00:06:57.439 --> 00:07:00.279 He'll come out of the bullpen after warming up, go 153 00:07:00.319 --> 00:07:02.319 to the plate first, and then see how the first 154 00:07:02.319 --> 00:07:04.199 inning turns out, then go out to the mound. 155 00:07:04.240 --> 00:07:05.560 It'll be a little bit different. 156 00:07:05.920 --> 00:07:08.040 And Dave Roberts was saying that they're going to ask 157 00:07:08.120 --> 00:07:10.279 him afterward how it is on the road as opposed 158 00:07:10.319 --> 00:07:10.560 to home. 159 00:07:10.600 --> 00:07:12.600 I would imagine it's going to be much better because 160 00:07:12.800 --> 00:07:14.959 one of the big benefits he's had at home is 161 00:07:15.000 --> 00:07:17.199 that Dodger bat boys have had all of his gear, 162 00:07:17.600 --> 00:07:21.600 elbow pads, batting gloves, helmet, you name it. They've had 163 00:07:21.680 --> 00:07:24.399 everything ready for him. When he would start on the mound, 164 00:07:24.519 --> 00:07:27.399 come back to the dugout. Never did go into the dugout. 165 00:07:27.639 --> 00:07:30.199 Everything was done near the on deck circle. Well, today 166 00:07:30.199 --> 00:07:32.959 he has a chance to warm up, come into the dugout, 167 00:07:33.199 --> 00:07:35.839 relax a little bit, didn't put on the batting gloves, 168 00:07:35.879 --> 00:07:38.759 and well, he did pretty well last night. The leadoff 169 00:07:38.759 --> 00:07:40.319 home run in the top of the first inning. 170 00:07:40.360 --> 00:07:43.120 He was amazing. We know how well Max months he's playing. 171 00:07:43.160 --> 00:07:45.680 He had another home run last night. But another left 172 00:07:45.680 --> 00:07:48.399 handed bat back in the lineup who's been playing better lately, 173 00:07:48.439 --> 00:07:51.120 and that's Michael Conforto. He changed his bat recently and 174 00:07:51.160 --> 00:07:51.759 it's paid off. 175 00:07:51.800 --> 00:07:54.000 He's changed the bat. He's also changed a little bit 176 00:07:54.000 --> 00:07:56.439 of his stance, a little bit more of a lake kick. 177 00:07:56.439 --> 00:07:59.120 But he's feeling comfortable the bat. Will talk about it 178 00:07:59.199 --> 00:08:01.600 during the ball game. He just has a better balance. 179 00:08:02.079 --> 00:08:06.600 He's ordered a slightly lighter bat, and there's so much 180 00:08:06.680 --> 00:08:09.519 confidence that has to go into hitting, just as Freddy 181 00:08:09.600 --> 00:08:11.879 Freeman right now, because he's looking for the confidence. I'll 182 00:08:11.879 --> 00:08:14.920 say this about Freddy. I'm beginning to see some better 183 00:08:14.959 --> 00:08:17.199 swings from him. I don't think it's going to be 184 00:08:17.240 --> 00:08:20.040 too long. Hopefully here today he breaks out of it. 185 00:08:20.079 --> 00:08:22.319 And when he does, Katie bar the door and some 186 00:08:22.360 --> 00:08:24.079 of the pictures are going to be wondering, where's this 187 00:08:24.120 --> 00:08:25.040 slup we heard. 188 00:08:24.839 --> 00:08:26.920 About that son Kim's been out of the lineup for 189 00:08:26.920 --> 00:08:29.040 a while. He's back today at second base and not 190 00:08:29.160 --> 00:08:31.800 in the outfield, and the Dodgers looking for him to 191 00:08:31.800 --> 00:08:33.399 be a spark plug at the bottom of the order. 192 00:08:33.399 --> 00:08:36.360 I just watched him again take some ground bowls earlier 193 00:08:36.360 --> 00:08:39.799 this afternoon. I commented looking at video during the off 194 00:08:39.799 --> 00:08:42.279 season when he signed how much range he had, in 195 00:08:42.320 --> 00:08:45.799 particular going up the middle to the backhand side. Not 196 00:08:45.840 --> 00:08:48.039 only that, but has a very strong throwing arm.

I don't know, it's more challenging. 369 00:16:57.919 --> 00:16:59.759 I probably should ask him. 370 00:17:00.080 --> 00:17:02.399 All right, there's Dave Roberts.
