Starting with the series against a Blue Jays team that comes from a demolition of the Rockies, the wrestling deadgers seemed to be in trouble. With perhaps the last game between 3000-Stikeout club members in Clayton Kershaw And Max Scherzer Things usually met the hype, and that was it Mookie Betts‘Homer who led the Dodgers forever in a 5-1 win.
=======
The thing started well for Clayton Kershaw, who got a few strikeouts in a clean 1st. However, the 2nd started with a “double” on a squibber along the line Freddie Freeman Apparently it was apparently not even possible. After a groundout had moved the runner to the third, records three consecutive singles the runner and loaded the bases.
In a real shocker, the Dodgers were lucky and played a bit of defense, while Mookie Betts made a dive branch for a doubles to end the threat.

Kershaw seemed to be a bit of more shocking help from the defense, while he walked a lead-off single in the 3rd, saw a single in the 4th erased by a doubles and a potential scored threat in the 5th avoided after a lead-off single thanks to this great game through Alex Freeland.

Kershaw was then confronted with the minimum in the 6th after his first walk of the game thanks to another doubles, which this year should be a record for the team.
This was a brutal matchup on paper, but some defense and happiness, and Kershaw drove on paper: 6 IP, 7 H, 1 R, 1 BB, 4 K, 74 throws.

On the other hand, there was another Hall of Famer in Max Scherzer, and the attack started well with back-to-back singles from Shohei Ohtani and Mookie Betts who set the table. However, after Freddie Freeman was 3-0 ahead, he finally turned out and one Will Smith Flyball came to deep fly Davis SchneiderThe glove on a jumping salvation on the wall.

After Scherzer came around Max Muncy For a walk of four pitch, Teoscar Hernandez Missed two Center-cut fastballs and waved in a ball in the other battle section to end the inning. Brutal batting.
Unfortunately, the attack seemed much more as they have in the past month. In the next three innings they succeeded in only having an infield single, and things looked even worse Andy -Pages Led the 5th in the single, but was erased on a doubles where he had not picked up the ball during an attempt from the stem. Frustrating things.

But out of nowhere, the Dodgers got a production flash behind their stars, while Shohei Ohtani tore a basic rule double and Mookie Betts is suddenly hot and his first Homer (12th) hit the Dodgers in more than a month to give the Dodgers a 2-1 lead.

After a scoreless 6th, Scherzer’s night was ready, 2-1.
The attack used the Jays Pen, when Alex Freeland started things with a walk, a Shohei High Bouncer bend from a glove for a single to put the runners in the corner, and a Mookie grounder drove a run to extend the lead to 3-1 because everyone was safe.
Freddie Freeman followed with a walk to load the bases, after which Will Smith also ran to force a run.
They were limited to just a teoscar hernandez sac fly to bring the rest of the road 5-1, but it was a comfortable margin.

It was for the Dodgers pen Anthony Banda In the 7th, and he got the first two before he gives up a single. Dave Roberts went to matchups with Ben CasparisAnd he got out of the inning. He continued in the 8th, threw a few and only gave up a two-out Double with a daring diving attempt from Justin Dean Make his debut.
