Dodgers Double Up Reds 10-5 In Game 1!

Reds 5 Dodgers 10 W-Snell (1-0) L-Greene (0-1)

The Los Angeles Dodgers faced a lot of adversity this year following their World Series Title. They still won the National League West and faced the Reds tonight at Dodger Stadium to start the Wild-Card round. Shohei Ohtani was ready from the start as he belted a Hunter Greene fastball out to right for a lead-off home run. This put Los Angeles up by a run after an inning of play. The Dodgers added on in the third as Freddie Freeman and Max Muncy walked. Tesocar Hernandez smoked a Hunter Greene slider out to left for a three-run homer. Tommy Edman followed and hammered a slider out to right for a solo shot of his own. The Dodgers added one more in the sixth when Teoscar Hernandez smacked a Connor Phillips fastball out to right for a solo homer. The bats stayed hot in Los Angeles as Kike Hernandez singled and Shohei Ohtani obliterated a Connor Phillips sweeper out to right for a two-run homer in the sixth. The Reds found some offense in the seventh when Austin Hays and Spencer Steer singled. Elly De La Cruz beat out a would-be double play to plate a run and Cincinnati was on the board. Tyler Stephenson doubled home a run to pull the Reds within six. The Dodgers got some back in the seventh as Miguel Rojas singled and Alex Call dumped a single to right. A throw got away from Noelvi Marte to plate a run and Ben Rortvedt singled home another one. The Reds wouldn’t give up in the eighth when they loaded the bases. Sal Stewart drew a bases loaded walk and Spencer Steer singled home another. Elly De La Cruz drew a bases loaded walk and Jack Dreyer eventually got out of the jam. Blake Treinen had a scoreless ninth and the Dodgers took Game 1 of the Wild-Card series tonight.

-Final Thoughts- Blake Snell was good tonight. He sailed through six innings and had trouble in the seventh. He went seven innings and allowed two runs on four hits with a walk and nine strikeouts. Alex Vesia gave up two runs and Edgardo Hernandez showed some playoff nerves. Jack Dreyer eventually got out of the eighth. Blake Treinen fanned two in the ninth. Teoscar Hernandez had three hits on the night and two homers. Shohei Ohtani hit two homers. Mookie Betts, Freddie Freeman, and Kike Hernandez had two hits each. The Dodgers hit 2-for-8 with men in scoring position and left nine men on base. Tomorrow, Zack Littell faces Yoshi Yamamoto in Game 2.
