What Happened

The Los Angeles Dodgers trail the San Diego Padres 3-0 in the bottom of the ninth inning. Mookie Betts leads off with a single, and the Dodgers have a glimmer of hope. Freddie Freeman follows with another base hit, putting runners on first and third with no outs. The Dodgers are making a late push, looking to claw their way back into the game. Trea Turner steps up to the plate, and on the first pitch, he slices a double down the left field line, scoring Betts and cutting the Padres' lead to 3-2. The Dodger Stadium crowd erupts as the team makes a comeback attempt. Next, Max Muncy hits a line drive that scores Freeman, tying the game at 3-3. The Dodgers' dugout is buzzing with excitement, sensing a potential walkoff victory. With the game knotted, Los Angeles third baseman Justin Turner steps in. Padres reliever Robert Suarez fires a 99 mph fastball, but Turner puts the ball in play, sending a grounder towards third base. Manny Machado, the Padres' star third baseman, fields the ball cleanly and fires to second base, where Jake Cronenworth applies the tag for the first out. Cronenworth then throws to first base, where Luke Voit completes the 5-4-3 triple play, ending the game. "That's an insane play to make," says Machado, pumping his fist as the Padres mob him on the field. The Dodger Stadium crowd is stunned, hands on their heads in disbelief, as the Padres clinch a postseason berth with the game-ending triple play. Shohei Ohtani, the Los Angeles Angels' two-way superstar, is on deck, eagerly anticipating his chance to bat. But the Dodgers' comeback bid is cut short in the most dramatic fashion, leaving the Dodgers' dugout and fans in utter shock. "The game is over," the umpire announces, his tone and expression emphasizing the gravity of the moment. It's a gut-punch ending to a thrilling late-inning showdown between two NL West rivals.

the Padre's are up three runs over the

Dodgers it's the bottom of the ninth

this girl is hitting her dad with the

towel having some fun that fan is

letting the Dodgers no let's go let's do

it let's do it because if the Padre's

win this game they clinch a postseason

birth this breakdown is brought to you

by T-Mobile the official 5G Innovation

partner of Major League Baseball let's

get into it Suarez for the Padres been

struggling that pitch is 99 mph but it's

hit right to the Outfield Dodgers have a

leadoff Runner and they're dancing just

a half dance next batter 100 miles per

hour doesn't matter he's going to put

that one into the Outfield tatis cuts it

off but it's going to be first and third

and the Dodgers got some Mojo going next

batter two strikes 100 m hour pitch

breaks the bat but scores a run it's a

two-run game now ah and they're dancing

and S is thinking

ah man the pitching coach comes out and

as the pitching coach is coming out look

at all the Taps higgy's getting them

right on the chest patting them solano's

patting them on the back and then you

got konorth coming up he's going to

start punching his butt a little bit

like dude we got you don't even worry

about Coach says hey dude won't we just

roll the three ball higgy's like

oh oh yeah Special play on let's do it

migy Rose at the plate rubbing the ball

up but guess who's lingering on Deck

uhoh it's that guy and he's feeling good

he's feeling real good cuz the Dodgers

have 39 comeback wins this season and

since June 13th they have 26 which is

the most and Major League Baseball and

shoh is just kind of nodding to the

fence here like gonna be fun gonna be

fun oh yeah look what I'm gonna do okay

yep put these guys in scoring position

Miggy because I'mma have some fun first

pitch roas shows bunt which would be a

great call but pulls it back it's strike

one that would have been a great call

because you take the out at first and

you put the tying run on second base by

moving them over now they're Corners in

which is they think the bunt might come

but the wheel plays not on Bogarts goes

to Second so no one's covering third

here so if he got that bunt down

cronenworth probably going to beat him

to the bag at first over there but no

one was at third covering Barts was

going to Second so it would have been

second and third with Otani coming up

but the bunt doesn't get down now what

does that do for the Padres well this is

where their defense was lined up on the

bunt pitch the first pitch of the fbat

now watch I'm going to Overlay and

transition to the next pitch and you can

see the slight changes all right well

you got both Corner infielders are more

in they're more they're just a little
