Dodgers score7/28/2023 Glad it happened for us.”įreeman’s single sent Busch to third and Smith drove him in with an RBI single. “When I got the hit (two batters later), Padlo goes, ‘Did you kick the dirt and put holes over here?’” Dodgers first baseman Freddie Freeman said. But the ball hit something in the basepath, bouncing high over Padlo’s head and into right field for an RBI single. Michael Busch followed with a hard ground ball at first baseman Kevin Padlo. The Dodgers celebrated Detmers’ departure in the eighth inning with a one-out double by Rojas off Angels reliever Chris Devenski. The Angels put runners at second and third with no outs in the seventh but Kershaw worked out of it. If Nevin was upset about the dirt popping up on that play, he wasn’t going to like the eighth inning. I don’t know, but I’m just really confused on how this replay system works. We’ve had a couple like that that are just baffling to me. You can’t see because the dirt is popped up. “Clear and definitive? I don’t get it,” Nevin said. But the Dodgers challenged the call and (after an extended review) it was overturned, leaving the game scoreless – and Angels manager Phil Nevin disgruntled. The original call by home plate umpire Sean Barber was safe. Smith made an outstanding play, short-hopping the throw and diving back to the plate to meet a diving Drury there. The relay throw from Dodgers shortstop Miguel Rojas was up the first-base line, pulling Smith wide of home plate. Hunter Renfroe followed with a one-hop double off the wall in center field and it looked like the Angels would score first. Perfect for seven innings at Angel Stadium last July, he didn’t allow a hit until Brandon Drury singled through the middle with two outs in the fourth inning. Kershaw had more work to do than Detmers. He didn’t give up many hard-hit balls at all tonight.” “I mean, he pitched better than I did, honestly. It was just fun to go up and compete against him.” Obviously, he showed what he’s capable of tonight. “Obviously growing up watching him, getting to face him in spring training, and then actually getting to face him in the regular season, that’s something special. ![]() “It’s awesome,” Detmers said of facing Kershaw. Squaring off from opposite ends of the career spectrum, Kershaw and Reid Detmers dueled through seven scoreless innings. The Dodgers and Angels both would gladly take some more of the kind of starting pitching they got Tuesday. We’ll take it and hopefully get some more of that tomorrow.” Between the overturned call in the fourth (inning) and that one (in the eighth) – for some reason it was our day today. “Sometimes you’re going to need a lucky hop and we got that with Buschy’s (Michael Busch’s) ground ball to first,” Dodgers left-hander Clayton Kershaw said. The Angels, meanwhile, lost for just the fourth time in their past 15 games. The win snaps a three-game losing streak for the Dodgers. “I think we were desperate for something to go our way and it finally happened tonight,” he said after the Dodgers rode an overturned call and a well-placed divot on the basepath to a 2-0 victory over the Angels in the opener of the southern edition of this year’s Freeway Series.
