It's game two of the threeame set between the A's and the Dodgers. Always popping here no matter the day of the week. But out in it's Star Wars night and it's Yoshi Nou Yamamoto's second in the National League with a 180 erra coming off probably his worst outing so far this season.
Just five innings. Jacob Wilson first visiting rookie in MLB history to have four hits and two of those hits being home runs at Dodger Stadium. He's grounded short.
Mookie Betts is there and he gets a shortstop counterpart to get this game rolling. And that'll bring up Sodorm. He drew the collar last night.
He was 0 for five. It's a splitter. Two out.
Rooker two hits yesterday although he did strike out three times. Fast ball speeds by him. Strike three.
Two strikeouts in the inning. The 25-year-old from Florida, Gunnar Hogland makes his third career start and he's off to a really good start in his big league career. Otani ready to lead off for this Dodger lineup.
Last night, Otani Benson Freeman all went over. That's only happened in one other game all season. Otani 0 for three with a walk last night and he's batting .
302 with a dozen home runs and 21 RBI's. There's a high drive the right field. Forget about it.
Otani with the lead off shot. Otani with his 13th home run of the year. That didn't take very long.
Three pitches into the game and the Dodgers have a one- nothing lead. Star Wars night blasts off to lead off. This is why he is just so so dangerous.
And now the 01 and Bats hits a ground ball to short back end. Good play by Wilson. Plants and throws in time for the out.
Good job by Jacob. That'll bring up Freddy Freeman 0 for three with a walk last night. And strike three.
Freddy Freeman takes the pitch. Change up gets him. And first strike out for Hob.
Will hitting 330 plus. And he's hitting 370 here at Dodger Stadium. That's a two-out walk and Will Smith improves on that on base percentage.
That'll bring up the left-handed hitter in Maxie. Highfly ball out to left field and the catch for Tyler Sodestrom will end the first. First base runner of the game for the A's leads off his second.
Lawrence Butler swings and misses and he's the third strikeout victim of Yamamoto's already comes home. He runs a swing and a miss. A throw down from Smith.
Not in time. And a stolen base, but another strike out for Yamamoto. Who EK has already matched his swing and miss total from his entire start last week.
Swings hits a little tapper up the first base side. Easy play for Freddy Freeman. He'll step on the bag.
Three and assisted. Andy Pahz leads off the second, jumps on the first pitch and goodbye. What a shot.
Two to nothing on two leadoff home runs. Andy PZ, he just ambushed Hogland on the first pitch. Home run number seven for PZ.
It's two to nothing. And for the second consecutive inning, the A's have the leadoff man aboard. Two outs in the inning.
Tyler Soderstrom at the plate. Another second generation big leager. This one hit hard.
Tyler Soderstrom center field. Big boy part of the park. Welcome back to the long balls.
Tyler Soderstrom ties it up at two. That is 10 on the season now for Sod. It's been almost a month.
Moto can't believe it. Shay will walk on down to first, reaching for the second time here tonight. One-on-one out and the hitter Xan Duhar, one of the strikeout victims so far.
And that's going to get past the diving Max Muny into left field. Here comes Shay Langalers. He's getting waved home.
Shay coming in. Throw off line. It is three to two.
So a double for Anduhar picking up his 19th RBI of the year. Oh, Bangali get it going. Ground ball towards the middle.
Backhand Kim from the outfield grass throws him out and saves a run. Kim, who is shading him up the middle anyway, makes the backhanded play on a ball hit well by Aras. There's the O2 pitch.
That's a little dribbler up the first base line. It'll be bareanded by Langlers. He shovels it to first.
What a play by Kurts to stay on the bag and they get him. Outstanding stretch by Kurts and a good play by Langalers to not give up on the play. Jesong Kim leads off against Gunnar Hogland.
He is strong. He's jacked. Smashes this ball to right center field.
Butler's on the run. He turns and watches it fly. It is gone.
It's the first major league home run for Hesson Kim. And the Dodgers have tied it up three to three as Kim goes deep. It's not just speed.
He's huge. Two Ks for Butler in this game. Poked to short.
Betts with a backhand. Floops to Muny. It's a 65 put out at four.
How many times has that ever happened? 65. How do you even score it?
Is it 654? We got We got a guy that can check that out though. The athletic ability right there of Max.
And yeah, that's a 65. Top of the sixth, one on, two out. Pitch from Yamamoto to Anduhart on the hands.
Over to Ken. Hess on Ken. He'll make the catch and that'll do it.
Well, Yamamoto with a bounceback outing after gave up those five runs against the Diamondbacks last week. goes six innings here. Gives up three runs.
It's Pahz leading this one off. Tied at three. A four pitch walk for Pahz to open this six.
Conforto after the three doubles yesterday. 0 for two today. Payoff swatted left side and pass Duhar.
Pah chugging to third. The throw is in time. So you've got to be 100% sure.
I understand the thinking by Pi. He's got the play in front of him. You've got Sodestrom who does not play left field.
Just learning the position. Yeah, this not even close. Again, that's really that's up to the runner because he has the play in front of him.
But not a smart decision. And another pinch hitter. It's Miguel Rojos to pinch hit for Kim.
Two outs and a man at first base. Rojos with a pinch hit. Base hit to right center.
Leday hustles to try and cut it off. Conform's got a shot. Here he comes.
Dodgers take the lead. Miguel Rojas off of the bench to put the Dodgers back in front in the sixth inning. How about the nine spot for the Dodgers today, three for three gives them the lead.
Gets Otani to the plate with a man aboard. A man in scoring position. Off balance Q shot and Duhar throws late.
Infield hit for Otani. The biggest and baddest of them all. Rolls a 60footer for a base hit.
Bets is up. The Dodgers have runners at first and third. With a fly ball to right field and Lawrence Butler will make the grab that will end the threat.
Kirby is on the pitch. 21st appearance of the season. Tying run coming to the plate in the form of Tyler Soderstrom who had a two-run homer earlier tonight, his 10th of the year.
Tyler Soderstrom hits one in the gap left center field. It's going to bounce off the wall. It'll be Taylor throwing it in.
A stand up double for Tyler Soderstrom. Just when you needed a big knock. Sod steps up and delivers again.
So Sodestrom goes to third. We'll end up at 90 ft from home. And up the Shay Langalers here with two out.
needs to try again. He struck him out. He catches Langelier's looking with the tying run at third base.
So, first and second with the intentional walk to Otani and Mookie Betts who's looking for his first knock of this series. High fly ball to right center field headed for the gap and there's the insurance. Mookie Betts goes the other way.
Hernandez in to score. Otani's right behind him. Two-run double.
A roar from Mookie Betts on a 6-3 Dodger lead. And Mookie gets a fast ball right down the middle. Does a great job of driving it to the right center field.
That's looking towards first base. And well, you know what's beyond first base? The A's dugout.
Second and third are two away for Max Muny. Max has a chance to blow this game open. That ball is crushed down the line.
It is gone. Max Muny breaks it open with a towering home run. His second homer of the year and the Dodgers lead it nine to three.
I think we've seen a couple guys souls come to the surface in this inning with a fiveun explosion for LA in the eighth. And so instead of Tanner Scott, it'll be Ben Kasperius and the Athletics down to their final out tonight. Fly ball left field, Chris Taylor's there.
That'll do it. Dodgers nine A's three tight for a lot of the journey but broken open at the end of the road with the fiveun eighth inning and the series is tied up at a game a piece.
