DODGERS POSTCAST: Dodgers sweep the Braves, Ohtani homers twice.

After dropping the first game of the series, the Los Angeles Dodgers won all weekend to take the series with the Reds. Game 4 was capped by a walkoff single from Shohei Ohtani in extra innings, completing a weekend that saw excellent Dodgers pitching (including Walker Buehler's best start of the season) and enough offense from the LA bats. New Dodger Anthony Banda got the win in his Los Angeles debut, and Landon Knack looked good in his return to the big leagues.

Dodgers and Reds were hitless until the 4th when the Dodgers broke it open with an Andy Pages single. Walker Buhler looked like the old Walker Buehler, going 6 allowing no runs on just 3 hits while striking out 7. Freddie Freeman had an RBI single to add to the lead in the 5th and Teoscar Hernandez gave the Dodgers some insurance with a single in the 8th. 4-0 the final

The Los Angeles Dodgers lost to the Reds, 7-2, in a game that we'd all just like to forget. For the first time in over six years, LA was held to two straight games without an extra-base hit, and a little rally in the ninth inning kept them from getting shut out but didn't do much to make anyone feel better. We'll talk about the common narratives that always come up when the Dodgers lose a game, and then we'll dig into the latest injury news in Los Angeles about Jason Heyward and Emmet Sheehan. And finally, we'll talk about Shohei Ohtani's bobblehead night and the craziness that surrounded it.Be sure to subscribe to Locked On Dodgers wherever you get your podcasts and on YouTube, and come back every weekday morning and spend your morning commute with two of the biggest Dodger fans you'll ever meet.

Dodgers were shutout until the 9th when Gavin Lux knocked it 2 as they only managed 4 hits on the night. Tyler Glasnow gave up a leadoff homerun part of a 2 run first for the Reds. He would settle down a bit  striking out 8 but in the end suffers the loss surrendering 4 runs on 6 hits. 

Well, this is why you win the first two games of a series, especially heading into a bullpen game. Of course, the bullpen game ended up not really being a bullpen game, and the pitching was the best part of the game for the Los Angeles Dodgers, who lost the series finale, 4-1. Elieser Hernandez and Eduardo Salazar took down all eight innings on the mound, allowing just four runs, but the offense never got it going. We'll talk about umpire Hunter Wendelstedt not having his best game and the near future of the LA outfield.Be sure to subscribe to Locked On Dodgers wherever you get your podcasts and on YouTube, and come back every weekday morning and spend your morning commute with two of the biggest Dodger fans you'll ever meet.

Dodgers struggled to to find any rhythm against Logan Webb who went 6 for the win. 6 of the 7 Dodgers hits came from the to 3 in  the line-up Betts Ohtani and Freeman. Elieser Hernandez just called up today got the start and went 6 allowing 3 runs on 4 hits.  Teoscar Hernandez had a home run robbed from  him as Luis Matos went over the fence to bring it back. 

Shohei Ohtani had three hits and his Los Angeles Dodgers teammates added 10 more as LA beat the Giants, 10-2. Ohtani was a triple shy of the cycle, and Mookie Betts, Gavin Lux, and Teoscar Hernandez DID hit triples. Overall, LA had nine extra-base hits. On the mound, Gavin Stone allowed one run in six innings, his fourth straight outstanding start. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts was able to avoid his high-leverage relievers, which should help set up for Wednesday's bullpen (or bullpen-ish) game.

The Dodgers broke it open in the 4th with 4 runs which included  Shohei Ohtani's 12th home run a 446 ft blast. The Dodgers also had 3 triples one each for Mookie Betts, Gavin Lux and Teoscar Hernandez. Gavin Stone got the win going 6 allowing 1 run on 5 hits. They put another 4 spot in the 9th. Shohei Ohtani and Teoscar Hernandez finished the night with 3 hits including 2 extra base hits. 

The Los Angeles Dodgers rode some clutch hitting and stellar relief pitching to beat the Giants, 6-4, in 10 innings. Four Dodgers (Mookie Betts, Shohei Ohtani, Will Smith, and Gavin Lux) had two hits and at least one RBI each, plus a key pinch-hit homer for Kiké Hernandez, and the bullpen threw 4.1 scoreless innings to finish it off. The game ended on some characteristically good defense as Max Muncy and Lux turned a double play, which leads us to talk about how good the defense has been overall.Be sure to subscribe to Locked On Dodgers wherever you get your podcasts and on YouTube, and come back every weekday morning and spend your morning commute with two of the biggest Dodger fans you'll ever meet.
