![]() Webb scattered four hits - three to Mookie Betts - and a walk over seven innings of one-run baseball. Webb has thrown more pitches than this only once in a start this season, 107 against Miami April 25, and so his outing is likely over. Stephen Nesbitt: On his 106th pitch of the night, Logan Webb dropped a slider beneath the bat of Cody Bellinger - who had fouled off five pitches in the at-bat - for the seventh strikeout of an impeccable start. He strikes him out to finish seven totally clutch innings against the most dangerous lineup in the league. Blake Treinen will take over the Dodgers in the 7th.Īndrew Baggarly: Would have to think Bellinger was Webb's last batter regardless. Webb has now thrown a career-high 106 pitches. Another 1-2-3 inning ends with a Cody Bellinger strikeout. Oh, and Max Scherzer is warming for the ninth. He went slider to start the at-bat, sinker to finish it. Jansen’s always relied on the cutter, but his growth as a pitcher was on display there. They’ve been battling for essentially an entire decade, and both are in much different parts of career than when they first met.

He took a slider outside, waved at a slider in zone and the pulled on into right field, driving in the go-ahead run. Cody Bellinger stepped to the plate next and knew what was coming. His sixth pitch to Lux was a heater, and Lux ripped it into right field. He went back to the slider against Gavin Lux, throwing three, then four, then five in a row. After a four-slider at-bat to Will Smith ended in a groundout, Doval hit Justin Turner on the elbow with a fastball. He can throw 100 mph, but when he did in the ninth inning, bad things happened. Stephen Nesbitt: Camilo Doval can be beaten. But for Bellinger, that is a swing that can wipe away a whole year of struggles. Doval is out of the game in favor of Kevin Gausman, as the Giants try to keep it a one-run game.įabian Ardaya: Camilo Doval has been pounding breaking balls to Cody Bellinger, who has notably struggled with velocity all season.

In the ninth, Brandon Crawford hit the ball hard Kris Bryant reached on an error Lamonte Wade Jr. Who would come in to close door? Max Scherzer, who’d never handled a save opportunity in his previous 431 appearances in the majors. And then, against Giants closer Camilo Doval, the Dodgers pounced on his slider-heavy approach, and Cody Bellinger knocked a go-ahead single to right field in the top of the ninth. Darin Ruf, after his first two loud fly balls landed short of the wall, blasted a game-tying solo shot to center. ![]() ![]() Mookie Betts went 4 for 4 and opened the scoring by stealing second and coming home on Corey Seager’s sixth-inning double.
