Well, with the vibes at a low point after the angels have swept, the Dodgers have now taken the first two games of the Padres series, secured the Tiebreaker season and has taken the only control over the NL West. Blake Snell looked again dominant with some help from it Will SmithThrowing, and the Dodgers stopped him into an early leadership behind … Michael Comfort‘s (!!!) big hit and some luck in a 6-0 shutout victory.

As mentioned, Blake Snell continued to look like the man for whom they paid. He stood for some problems in the 1st and stood up a single, double and infield single, but he did not give up runs because the first single was erased by Will Smith and the last single was also provided at the back end of a double stem to end the inning.

He was then confronted with the minimum in the 2nd after a start of Smith was shot again, and they did not test it afterwards.

Snell drove through the next three innings, making it only a walk during that period. In the 6th he gave up a one-out Double and gave a two-out walk, but the tiring pitcher wore and got the final to complete his scoreless outing.
Not the normal amount of whiffs, but there were not many threats: 6 IP, 5 H, 0 R, 2 BB, 3 K, 96 pitches.

Attacking … thank goodness for Dylan stops have a bad day. He started walking through the game Shohei Ohtani” Mookie Bettsand Will Smith in a row to load things, and after getting one flyout that was not deep enough Freddie Freemanone more Teoscar Hernandez scored the first run of the game. Andy -Pages Subsequently followed by walking that reloading the bases, and Michael Conforto came with a single to bring the score to 3-0.

The rally stopped there, but they came back in the 2nd. A one-out Ohtani walk and a two-out Smith Walk was followed by Freddie who hit a deep flyball to the middle, that Jackson Merrill seemed to be confused who had it, so it turned his glove off for a two-run error, and it was 5-0.
The Dodgers have five runs. Only one hit, a set of walks, and this: pic.twitter.com/x5vyyjubaz

After a quiet run, Teoscar Hernandez added insurance in the 5th with his 20th Homer to push the lead to 6-0.

That was all for the bats, but they actually didn’t have to do anything anymore.

The Dodgers -Pen started with Edgardo Henriquez In the 7th, and while he gave up an Infield single, he also closed with back-to-back strikeouts.

That is the most difficult pitched pitch by a dodger in the statcast era.
That was Henriquez’s ninth career MLBinning. He has already had six out of 10 hardest -thrown pitches by a Dodger since 2015. https://t.co/rr8omqVUHW https://t.co/chkovuhuu7

He also started the 8th and received one on the zinc shed that the Dodgers have worked with him to develop.
And because of what the team wants, I think it’s this actually this: https://t.co/tvultx049y pic.twitter.com/baipsz3tvk

But after he had lost an eight pitch for a walk, it was Anthony Banda come in. Speaking of smoke, he looked as frog as always, got a jump and strikeout.
Anthony Bandas 97.9 MPH Pitch against Luis Arcezerz Was his fourth fastest throw of the year.
His 3 faster pitches (98.5, 98.3 and 98) were also all against the Padres. He also hit 97.6 km / h against Machado.
