After five irresistible innings, the Los Angeles Dodgers finally caught up. Tria Turner started a two-wheeler for Homer to score a goalless draw in the sixth and the Dodgers beat the slippery Reds 5-2 on Saturday night for their fifth consecutive win. On his long-awaited return home, Green dropped a staggering 39 pitches at 100 mph or faster – the most in a single game since stadium tracking began in 2008. The previous score was 33 by the New Ace York, Jacob de Grom, last June. Starting the second major championship, the 22-year-old right-hand man, who went to high school in nearby Sherman Oaks, also shot 13 pitches at a speed of at least 101 mph – another record for beginners.
The moment finally hit Greene in the third inning, but only emotionally. He said he caught tears on the bench in the middle of the huge circumstance and drowned after leaving the embankment in the sixth. “I wish we had won, but it was a really fun time,” Greene said. “It was an incredible feeling and experience to go against this lineup. Freddie [Freeman] it gave me a little love, like the tip of the lid, so it was great. “I was happy to be able to do that here and have a family here.” But with Greene dropping a little later on his way out, it was a fast 99 mph ball on Turner that ended up in the left field seats. “We still had to be ready for ’99 with a very good slider and a decent change,” Turner said. “He’s tough no matter how hard he throws, whether he’s 99 or 101, but I think we did a good job fighting.” Turner finished with three hits, including a single infield in the first. The fast shortstop has been a success in all eight games this season and in 27 consecutive years, returning to last year. It is the third longest streak in the history of the team in Los Angeles. The Dodgers’ main player, Julio Urías, slowed down during the spring and in his first appearance of the season, he managed to overtake Greene by giving a shot in five shutout appearances. The Reds did not hit their first blow until Tyler Stephenson broke baseman Max Muncy by just one second in the fifth. A little later, the Dodgers finally broke. Austin Barnes led in sixth place against Green with only one. Turner followed by hitting a fastball 1-1 in the middle of the stands on the left field for his first home game of the season. Freeman followed with a shot but reached the first base with a pass from Stephenson. Justin Turner came out and Reds manager David Bell replaced Green with right-hander Buck Farmer. The Dodgers added two more runs, one of which was charged to Green, when Chris Taylor scored a two-row single with two outs. “He was not going to give us anything, so we had to win it,” Turner said. “He kept us low in the first 5 1/2 innings and we finally got to him. But he is really good and I am happy we came out with the victory.” Green (1-1) left three rows (two won) in five hits in 5⅓ innings, without walking and six hits. He threw 80 pitches. The Reds lost their fifth game in a row – their last win came last Sunday when Greene made his league debut in Atlanta. At first, Greene said he cried on the bench in the third inning. “I did not cry, it was just a bad choice of words,” he said with a laugh. “I just tore a little. “I was sitting on the bench and he accidentally hit me. I think I looked up and I could hear his roar and his feeling … Up here, it’s a completely different atmosphere. And being here at Dodger Stadium As a kid, I think everyone these factors played at that moment “. The big stage did not shake him on the field. Even the home side by Turner came to a pitch on the edge of the plate. “It usually takes a little longer to find it [composure] “for a young player,” said Bell. “He will have his moments, but having the experience that had accelerated this development.” Freeman added a sacrificial fly to the seventh to make it 5-0. Uriah walked one and hit five. He was in the 92 mph range with his fastball after sitting at 91 in his debut season. He is still below average speed of 94 mph during the 2021 win season. The Reds entered the table in the ninth place with an RBI groundout by Taylor Naquin and an RBI single by Tommy Pham by the consolation Mitch White. Daniel Hudson got two outs for his first save this season. Evan Phillips (1-1) won the sixth period without a score. DEAL MAKERS The Reds sent right-hand man Riley O’Brien to Seattle to name a player or get cash. O’Brien is set for Wednesday to make room in the 40-man roster for left-handed Nick Lodolo.
