Home runs, go-ahead hits, and Japanese-vs-Japanese duels in order
- Edman's game-tying solo homer in the 8th (102.1 mph / 387 ft)
- Shohei Ohtani battles for a clutch two-out single
- Chisholm's go-ahead blast in the bottom of the 8th breaks our hearts
Man, that one stings... road game against the Yankees, and we get flipped right at the very end for a heartbreaking 1-2 loss.
A rough start out of the gate
Bottom of the 1st, Bellinger rips a liner into right-center off the bat and we're down early. My gut just went "oh no, here we go." Bellinger balling out for the Yankees is... a complicated feeling for me, not gonna lie.Shohei's at-bats, I watched every single one
Top of the 1st, Shohei takes the first pitch, then squares up a sweeper at 96.1 mph! But it comes off at a 47° launch angle — way too much loft — and it's a flyout. No worries, still early, next AB! Top of the 3rd, two outs, and he chops one down the third-base line just past the reach of the defense — nice, gritty single! Let's gooo, keeping the line moving, love to see it! Top of the 6th, he gets jammed on a slider and grounds out, but we're only down 0-1 so it's not a deep wound — shake it off. Top of the 8th, Bednar gets him with a nasty 92 mph splitter for the strikeout... that was a filthy pitch, credit where it's due. Reset and keep grinding, Shohei!!Top of the 8th, Edman comes through
Right after Shohei's strikeout, which made it even sweeter, Edman crushes one to right-center — 102.1 mph, 32° launch angle, 387 feet — GONE! Tie ballgame!! That's 1-1, and the Dodgers are right back in it. What a moment.But then we got hit back
Bottom of that same inning, Chisholm takes one deep to left-center — 105.3 mph, 33°, 402 feet — and it's 1-2... ugh... walked right off with the lead pulled out from under us, and that was the ballgame. Just brutal.Hurts to lose this one, but Shohei kept battling and staying positive even through the tough at-bats, and Edman's game-tying blast was electric while it lasted. Loss stings but we're not dwelling on it — let's bounce back next game, LET'S GO DODGERS!
