Dodgers finally get to Jesús Luzardo in pressure-packed seventh inning

Philadelphia – The start of the Phillies Jesús Luzardo had deposited 17 strikers in row in the seventh round of the match of the series of the national league division on Monday. The Dodgers had not had a sure blow or to base for the first.

And it did not seem that they would have another.

“Luzardo,” said Dodger Freddie Freeman’s first goal player, “was incredible.”

However, it was Freeman who ended Luzardo’s masterful night and pushed the phillie season on the edge of the abyss, entering a Dodger 4-3 victory which sends the series of more than five to Los Angeles for match 3 Wednesday with Philadelphia a defeat of spring training.

“It’s huge. It’s absolutely huge,” said Dodgers manager Dave Roberts, about the two -game swap on the road. “Guys really intensify.”

Especially in the seventh, when the dodgers struck, producing the kind of round that they rarely managed in the regular season, one which included aggressive bats, Smart Baserning and three points produced with two strokes.

“All that meets; quite simply good bats in the training,” said Roberts.

Teoscar Hernández started with a simple in the center. Freeman followed with a blow at the end of his bat in the corner of the right field, a simple that he transformed into a double when he refused to stop at the beginning, a surprising voltiseur Nick Castellanos.

“I was trying to continue things, to put them pressure on them,” said Freeman. “I just wanted to push the limits in this situation because we hadn’t had anything since the first round.”

Luzardo had abandoned a safe blow in six rounds; Now he had abandoned two in the space of five throws.

“He retired 17 in a row. He had 72 locations. He launched a big one,” said Phillies manager Rob Thomson.

But after Freeman’s blow, it was finished, Thomson invoking the Lift Orion Kerkering. The dodgers, however, were just beginning, and a hernández later put them forward to stay, intelligently breaking the third on the slow rollerblading of Kiké Hernández near the mound, then sliding at the back of the plate to beat the broad jet of Trea Turner at home.

Pinch-Hitter Max Muncy followed with a four-step walk to load the bases of Will Smith, whose simple was the first on the first launch he led in two other points.

“In this situation, it is very easy to try to want to do too much,” said Muncy. “You have a chance to drive in a few races. It is very easy to hunt a ground. But you just have to be diligent with what you are trying to get up there and pass the stick to the next guy.”

The Dodgers rally had been built around a double that should have been a simple, the choice of a defensive player who managed to pass the mound, a walk and a simple left of Smith, the hardest ball in the Channel. When Shohei Ohtani founded a simple by diving the second base player Edmundo Sosa, the Dodgers led 4-0.

“Obviously, a few huge strokes of two outings by Will then Shohei. Grand game from Teo making the foot,” said Freeman. “Many good things happened during this seventh round.”

The Channel also silenced the closed window crowds of 45,653, which had been stronger a rock concert a few minutes earlier during a Nascar race. When Matt Strahm, the third launcher in the Channel, finally obtained Mookie Betts for the third outing, the fans hooked the phillies out of the field.

The crowd is again life in the ninth, when the dodgers raising Blake Treinen again melted on the mound, abandoned three strokes and two points without going out to leave the phillies in the game. But Roki Sasaki then removed them, withdrawing Turner on a ball on the ground with the liaison race in the third, obtaining his second stop in as many matches.

When it was above the Phillies, which had the best home record in the majors this season, had lost consecutive home matches for the first time since June 1. And the Dodgers, unbeaten in the playoffs, were a victory far from the NL championship series.

“Much to unpack in that one,” said Roberts.

Freeman has managed to put everything in perspective.

“We were sitting in our lockers and Kiké said,” We took two here, “he said.” It is a difficult place to play. Amazing fans. It’s strong here.

“We obviously put ourselves in very good position forward Wednesday.”
