![]() ![]() ![]() Gabe Kapler has clearly decided to throw everything at this game to keep it within reach, and then figure out the rest later.įabian Ardaya, Dodgers beat writer: This is the “Aggressive Gabe Kapler” postseason game I was anticipating entering this series. The Dodgers don’t score.Īndrew Baggarly, Giants beat writer: The Giants have recorded seven outs and they're on their fourth pitcher. Jarlín García walks his first batter, Gavin Lux, loading the bases, but Cody Bellinger grounds into a force out at the plate and Chris Taylor hits another long ball to left that's caught by LaMonte Wade Jr. In the bottom of the inning, Kervin Castro gets the first batter, Trea Turner, to ground out, but surrenders back-to-back walks and gets the hook. Walker Buehler made quick work of the Giants in the top of the third, retiring the three batters he saw with relative ease. So, lots of threat and a little to show for it. But Crawford grounded out to Justin Turner to end the inning. They bounced Buehler and loaded the bases in the fifth. Wide enough that the Giants walked through, too. Nick Groke, Rockies beat writer: The gates are open. I’d expect Roberts to stay aggressive - he already had Blake Treinen warming there in case things went haywire for Kelly. Kelly came in and got three ground balls and navigated traffic while maintaining a three-run lead. Brandon Crawford, the next batter, grounded out, stranding two runners.įabian Ardaya, Dodgers beat writer: This is a much deeper Dodgers bullpen than years past, which is partly what gave Dave Roberts the confidence to go get Buehler on short rest when he did. Ruf was out at first, but a run scored, getting the Giants on the board. Reliever Joe Kelly gave up a single to Tommy La Stella, loading the bases, then Darin Ruf hit a grounder to second that was fielded by Trea Turner. Walker Buehler’s fifth inning: single, strikeout, walk, and then he was gone. Phil Bickford is on for Los Angeles with a comfortable lead, some wavy flow and a chill vibe. Nick Groke, Rockies beat writer: Smith turned on a McGee fastball for a two-run homer in the eighth inning and the Dodgers, with a 7-2 lead, are three outs from Game 5. The problem of relying on one pitch if you’re McGee is you become predictable if you’re not right. They are three outs away from forcing a Game 5.įabian Ardaya, Dodgers beat writer: Seager, Trea Turner and Smith all swung first pitch against McGee. In the bottom of the inning, Will Smith homered off Jake McGee, driving in Corey Seager, to plate two insurance runs for the Dodgers. He will give way to Kenley Jansen in the ninth. ![]() An earned run for Blake Treinen, but nothing more. Curt Casali, the last player on the Giants' bench, came into the game to pinch hit - and promptly struck out looking. Brandon Crawford led off the top half of the inning with a double, went to third on a ground out by Buster Posey and scored on a ground out by Kris Bryant. ![]()
