Emmet Sheehan and Andy Pages power Dodgers to victory over Reds
The Dodgers continued their celebration of the triumph season of the World Series of last year by distributing championship rings on Monday. The 49,702 people who bought tickets had replicas while Gavin Lux, who played for the Dodgers last season and is now with the Reds of Cincinnati, obtained a real one.
If the team hopes to win more jewelry again this fall, the next five weeks will be essential. Because after the 7-0 Monday victory against the Reds, the Dodgers led the Padres by a match in the West National League with 30 to do in the regular season for the two teams.
And if the Dodgers (75-57) continue to play as they did on Monday, when Andy Pages dominated twice, driving in four points, and Emmet Sheehan launched a summit of seven-sleeves without career in career, they will be difficult to catch.
The Reds almost advanced in the second after Lux doubled on the wall in the center right with a withdrawal. But Michael Conforto removed additional bases from Spencer Steer with a jump jumping in the left field and Teoscar Hernández made a road race of Ke’bryan Hayes to the Foul pole in the corner of the right field to end the sleeve.
Sheehan has never been in danger again.
The pages, on the other hand, started the offensive in the third by driving a quick ball of Hunter Greene in the enclosure of the lifts in the left field for its 22nd circuit of the season, the second largest number of the team behind the 45 of Shohei Ohtani.
The pages struck another in fifth round, following the double comforto in the corner of the right field with another circuit on the first land in the seats next to the Dodgers enclosure to make 3-0.
Greene (5-4) entered the sixth, but left after abandoning a double to Freddie Freeman and a walk towards Will Smith. Hernández, followed by shooting a scotter Barlow lift promenade and two withdrawals later, a grout of pages went to the Elly de la Cruz stop, marking two other points.
A Homer by Mookie Betts, his second sure shot of the match, with one in the seventh and a fly of sacrifice from the pages to the eighth closed the score.
Sheehan (5-2) did not throw as hard as Greene but he launched much better, holding the Reds (68-64) with two strokes.
Sheehan also equaled a career summit with 10 stick withdrawals to win his third consecutive decision while the Jack Dreyer and Anthony Banda readers finished laundering, the fourth of the team in the last 23 games.
The Dodgers had only three bleaching in the first 109 games.
The team is becoming healthier. During the weekend, Tanner Scott and Kirby Yates lift came from the injured list and public service player Kiké Hernández was activated on Monday. The third goal player Max Muncy and the Hyeseong Kim interior field player could be back before the next road trip, if not before. Utilityman Tommy Edman and the Roki Sasaki launcher are probably not far behind.
Kiké Hernández almost failed, he said on Monday. After making the injured list on July 6 with an inflammation of the left elbow, he tried three injections and non -invasive rehabilitation procedures, but nothing seemed to work.
“I got to a point where I did not know if it was going to happen. We were quite close that it did not happen,” he said about his return. “There are procedures that I went through that have done nothing. I crossed four shots in a month, and the first three did nothing, and fortunately the fourth was the answer.
“After the last blow, I was painless.”
Hernández, who played each position, but the receiver and the right field for the Dodgers this season, watched the Monday match of the bench, but said that he would start in the left field on Tuesday, carrying a splint to protect his left elbow.
