Also of note: That's the first time Ohtani has gotten a hit in the first AB of a game he has pitched this year Dave Roberts said a side benefit of flipping Ohtani and Mookie Betts in the order was so that he'd have more time to prepare for his first AB after coming off the mound
Shohei Ohtani gave up a solo home run in the top of the first. He got it back with a two-run homer in the bottom half of the inning That's his second homer in a game he has pitched this season (and the first to come before he was done on the mound) 2-1 Dodgers, btm 1st
Tanner Scott confirmed that his MRI showed no ligament damage, just inflammation Timetable to return is TBD, but he said he fully expects to be back this season
Final: Twins 10, Dodgers 7 #Dodgers are 59-43 LAD is 6-11 since the start of July. The relief pitching in the sixth and seventh innings tonight might have been the month's new low point
Dodgers relievers are having a tough time throwing the ball accurately tonight ... to home plate, and first base 9-5 Twins, top 7th
How much do they hate Carlos Correa at Dodger Stadium? A fan just threw one of his foul balls back on the field, and got huge cheers for it
Hyeseong Kim has been among the coldest hitters on the Dodgers this month, batting under .200 for July But after a Michael Conforto ground-rule double, he comes up with a big two-run single here in the sixth to get the Dodgers back in it 6-5 Twins, btm 6th
Ben Casparius came into the game and went walk-double-walk-walk (the last one on four pitches) to force in a run On his last pitch, he grabbed at his right leg, then called for a trainer. He is coming out. Alexis Diaz will inherit a bases-loaded, no-out jam 4-3 Twins, top 6th
Andy Pages seems to have rediscovered his swing the last couple nights After walks from Will Smith and Freddie Freeman to lead off the fourth, he clobbers his second HR in as many games to tie this one up 3-3, btm 4th
All around bad second inning for the Dodgers In the top half, Miguel Rojas couldn't cleanly field a grounder and Mookie Betts couldn't make an accurate throw to 2B on a fielder's choice. Then Christian Vázquez hit a hanging splitter from Yoshinobu Yamamoot for a two-run double…
Dodgers officially put Tanner Scott on IL with what they’re calling elbow inflammation
The Dodgers recalled RHP Alexis Díaz and placed LHP Tanner Scott on the injured list with left elbow inflammation.
In other positive injury news for the Dodgers: Max Muncy is taking batting practice on the field today He has been ahead of schedule in his recovery from his knee injury latimes.com/sports/dodgers…
Dodgers are still waiting on the results from Tanner Scott’s MRI, but Dave Roberts sounded a lot more optimistic than he did last night He said Scott came in feeling better today, and that there is still hope they’ll be able to get him back this season
No news from Dodgers yet on Tanner Scott yet, but Alexis Diaz just arrived in the clubhouse
Dave Roberts said Tanner Scott felt a “sting” in his forearm He will get an MRI tomorrow, but is “emotionally not well,” per Roberts
Kirby Yates replaced Tanner Scott and nearly gave up a game-tying three-run homer to Carlos Correa –– but it hung up just enough for James Outman to leap at the CF wall and snag it for the final out Final: Dodgers 5, Twins 2 #Dodgers are 58-43
Tanner Scott just left this game here in the ninth alongside a trainer Had walked one batter and hit another earlier in the inning, before spiking a slider that left him grimmacing. He appeared to be flexing his left throwing arm as he walked off
The Twins had four hits and plenty of other hard contact against Shohei Ohtani But he kept them off the board after Byron Buxton's leadoff homer. Also threw a season-high 46 pitches The plan is to have him go four innings his next couple times out 2-1 Dodgers, mid 3rd
