=======
The game started much better than yesterday for the attack, such as Mookie Betts Started with a double Reds starter Chase BurnsThan Shohei Ohtani had a productive to move it, and Teoscar Hernandez A single ground for a 1-0 lead. Those are as many hits with Risp as they had yesterday.

That didn’t last long, because Yoshinobu Yamamoto gave up a one-out single and then a walk in the 1st, was screwed from a strikeout to the next batter and immediately gave a base on the next pitch to load the bases. Old friend Gavin Lux Tied the game on 1-1 bound by getting a groundout, and Yamamoto barely escaped a worse lot thanks to a fun game in the left Michael Comfort.

After the early exchange of runs, both pitchers then settled a bit. Burns only gave up a walk in the 2nd and a single in the 4th, while Yamamoto had a more adventurous time because of his defense. After he had a clean 2nd, he was greeted with a turn in the 3rd. Yamamoto then got a strikeout and seemed to get a second on a flyball, but Controrto just didn’t make the game for a “single” to put the runners in the corner.

Fortunately he locked himself up and got a strikeout and a popout to end the inning, despite a delayed stem with a few in score position and he also got a clean 4th.
Fortunately it was burns that first allowed in the 5th, such as Miguel Rojas Lead away with a bustle, and with one-out Mookie a single to get the runners in the bend. Shohei Ohtani benefited from the chance by riding a double to the middle to pour them both and 3-1.

Now the leadership threw, Yamamoto continued with a clean 5th to let the eight batters retire in a row. After he made it 10 to start the 6th, he ran a seizure before he finished by retiring the last four.

In the meantime, the attack added the insurance, although it was not a smooth ride.
The 6th was a bit of a mess, when Controrto reached a one-out strikeout that passed the catcher, HYEENONG KIM reached a mistake that the runners bore in the corner, but Miguel Rojas had a safety clip that was spoiled as the last batter of Burns and the Dodgers eventually got nothing.
The 7th started with a Mookie Betts Walk and Steal, Ohtani Walk, and back-to-back singles from teoscar and Freddie Freeman To push the lead to 5-1.

That is where the score ended, because while they got a one-out single to load the bases later, nothing came of it.
The same for the 8th, because a doubles between a hit fittings and walk killed a potential rally.

Fortunately, the Dodgers had only two innings to cover thanks to Yamamoto, so that was it Alex shutters For a scoreless 8th with only a walk allowed. In the 9th it was the return of Blake trainsWhich was not beautiful while he worked 25 throws. He got two, but gave two singles and two free walks, loaded with the bases and a 5-2 score.
Jack Dreyer was forced to come in for the salvation, and he came behind 2-0, but got a grounder to end the madness.
