And here come the Dodgers.
Face Gabe Cavalli for the first time.
Tucker hits it on the ground to first.
Back-handed by Ortiz.
They go to second for one.
The throw back.
Cavalli makes the catch, but he comes off the bag, so Tucker is safe and the inning will continue.
23rd pitch of the first inning coming from Cavalli.
And Hernandez flips it into left field for a base hit.
Freeman scores and the Dodgers strike first.
So how big was it, Tim, to not get that ground, ground ball double play and get out of the inning?
On a one-two, Feduccia.
It's a ground ball and it squeezes into center.
Tucker will roll in.
The Dodgers double their first inning lead.
When the Nationals play a team like this, you give them an extra out and this is what comes to pass.
Has not been easy for Tyler Glasnow tonight.
Battling into the fifth inning.
The Dodgers down three to two.
Lyle, fly ball left center field.
Edmund on his horse.
To the wall.
It is caught by Tommy Edmund.
Tommy Edmund is a saint, but that was criminal.
Well, Tommy made sure that he used all of his height, all of his speed, all of his range, and all of his leaping ability to catch that.
What a play.
I mean, the reactions always help cap it off.
Tyler Glasnow on the mound.
Tyler Glasnow returns to the mound to start the seventh.
Dave Roberts said coming out of spring training he was gonna push the starters a little farther.
Dylan Cruz lines one to the gap in left center.
Oh.
Edmund plays it on a hop.
Cruz slides in ahead of the throw, and the Nationals have a potential insurance run standing 180 feet away.
Dave Roberts tried to steal it out with a right-right match up.
Now he'll bring in Vesia with a runner in scoring position.
Swung on and hit out to left center.
Falling fast, Edmund can't get to this one.
And the Nationals have doubled their lead here in the seventh.
That closes the book on Tyler Glasnow.
A fourth earned run.
Time runs aboard for the Dodgers in the seventh.
Tommy Edmund, 0 for 3 tonight, but has one of the plays of the game in this game, that catch in the wall in left field.
Edmund, in the air.
Right field.
Back at the wall.
Gone.
No matter where you put him, no matter where you bat him, Tommy Edmund does it all.
And the Dodgers have grabbed the lead in the seventh.
He's not pitched last night, but four in and out.
Four pitches, three strikes.
Dodgers need one more out.
James Wood at the top of the order.
Grounds it to Freeman and it ricochets into right field.
That ball went through Freddie, really.
It was 109 miles an hour off the bat.
And this one gets by Betts into center field.
Wood scores.
Two balls that the guys will tell you they probably should have.
Ground ball, third.
Fair ball.
And three straight Nats have reached with two outs here in the ninth.
Tying run 90 feet away.
Go-ahead run 180 feet away.
And now second and third for CJ Abrams.
Scott's two-two.
He struck him out.
This Dodger win combined with an Atlanta loss, the Dodgers in the second spot.
