Last night was all about number twenty two.
Clayton Kershaw is twenty two, went for three thousand. He was three bike out shy of three thousand in his Hall of Fame career. Only nineteen other pitchers have done it in the history of this fine game that we call baseball. Clayton Kershaw last night got a strikeout unto the third. He got a strikeout in the fifth, but the pitch count was starting to mount. As the Dodgers left hander went back out.
To the mound.
In the sixth inning two outs, Max Munty would get taken out of third base had to come out of the game with a knee injury. More on that coming up. So the Clayton Kershaw pared down throwing strikes and he got it.
One ball, two strikes, two capra betherre than fifty thousand on their feet at Dodger Stadium.

As Clayton Kershaw.
Enters the three thousand club, just the twentieth member and only the fourth left hander in the history of the game with three thousand strikeouts, every one of them coming in a Dodger uniform.
What a moment for Clayton Kershaw, What a moment for his family and friends and Dodger Nation. Last night to see and here at strikeout number three thousand of his Hall of Fame career. That is the top tier play of the game, brought to by Arco quality, top tier gas for less. Clayton Kershaw six innings, gave a four runs,
nine hits. He'd admit wasn't his finest outing, Bud. He needed three strikeouts and he got to it in the sixth inning as he gets the three thousand, becoming the twentieth pitcher in baseball history to reach that feet Meanwhile, back on the field, Max Months he left the game with the knee injury. Dodgers were down four to two going to the bottom half of the ninth and he win again. The Dodgers a little late inning magic show.
Hey Otani grounded in to a fielder's choice that scored Michael Kindifford.
It it was a four to three game.
Then Mookie Betts as sack fly scoring Tommy Edmund that tied the game at four. So runners on for Freddie Freeman in the bottom of the ninth.
Stretch by Wilson. On the first pitch coming to Freddie Freeman, he swings and it's a base hit to.
Right oh Tudy around third he comes to the plate, Dodgers win. Dodgers win, the fifteenth career walk off hit for Freddie Freeman of the Dodgers come all.
The way back to win at five to four on.
A special night at Dodgers Stadium where a selloff crown witnessed Clayton Kershaw's three thousandth strikeout and Freddie Freeman with a walk off hit gives the Dodgers their fifty fifth win out of the season.
Oh how do you like that?
Freddy Freeman with a walk off hit and the Dodgers win it tonight file five to four score.
Dodgers win it five to four with three runs in the bottom half of the ninth inning to beat the White Sox. We'll Klein gets the winning relief of Clayton Kershaw, who gets to three thousand strikeouts in his career, just the fourth left hander to reach that milestones. The Dodgers is the team now fifty five and thirty two overall in the season, and tonight they look to keep on winning and make it a sweep over the Chicago White Sox.
Dustin May on the mound first pitch of seven ten with more we head out to the Gallpin Motors Broadcast booth as we welcome in Tim Nevert and Rick Monday.
Guys, Tam, It's just another gorgeous night here at Todgers Stadium. It seems like we say that every night only because it's true. But the Dodgers are getting set to wrap up this series with the Chicago White Sox and a chance to sweep them for the second time in a row. They swept them in Chicago last year. Ain't trying to get it done this year. They've won seven straight series now and as far as their overall wins and losses, they've won nine of their last eleven and nine of
their last ten against Chicago. Aaron Savali at one in four, the former Milwaukee Brewer, will start for the White Sox. He's one in four in a four to seven four era. Dustin May will appear for his sixteenth start tonight, four and five and a four to six eight earn run average. But when you talk about the story of the day, it's got to be Max Munsey. Once he placed on the injured list with a bone bruise and his left knee. As story Ruiz, the former Oakland Athletic Kansas City Royal
has been recalled from TRIPAA Oklahoma City. So the Dodgers for a short period of time at least, will be without the bat of Maxim.
Yeah, and we had no idea really what was going to happen. Underwent an MRI. So it's not good news, but it could be even worse. So the bone Bruce, don't know how long he's going to be out there. It's going to be day to day. Other than that, anything happened last night, they was out of the ordinary. There was a You and I were talking as a matter of fact. You know, we're at the ballpark every day. We see a lot of ball games, but neither one of us were able to go to sleep last night
because of the emotion of what happens. We got caught up in the emotions of it. With Clayton Kershaw becoming, you know, just the twentieth member with three thousand strikeouts in his illustrious career, it was one of those nights. This ballpark was very adrenaline labeled last night.
No question about it. The thing about Kershaw is that he means so much to the fans in this area. He's been here literally half his life. For eighteen years and it's been blood, sweat and tears on the field for the Dodgers. And he's just the third player ever to strike out three thousand in the same uniform. Bob
Gibson and Walter Johnson were the other two. But he does hold the distinction of being the only pitcher to do something and that is to record his three thousand strikeout on the final pitch he threw in the game, which he did last night.
And it was a pitch number one hundred. It happened to be on the slider. We talked about the slider during the ballgame last night, and while Clayton said after the game he did not have his best stuff, that's kind of our analysis also, but he came on a slider, that pitch that he took two years to really perfect until he used it in a ballgame. I thought his comments last night were really kind of pointed to tell
you the type of a person. Clayton Kershaw is celebrating a monumental moment, but he said to his teammates, individual awards are great, but in that you don't have anybody to celebrate with, it just doesn't matter. This is more about team that it is individual and he likes to celebrate with the guys he has surrounded himself very well with over the years.
Much celebration as there was with his teammates last night, and of course with his family. He was right out here early this afternoon, right back to work.
Yeah, that's just the mo with Clayton Kershaw and one of the many reasons he is standing out as one of the top pitchers in baseball history. And congratulations to Clayton Kershaw. Congratulations the Dodgers. Also, you know they've won seventeen to the last twenty two. They have another issue here tonight, that's the win another ball game against the ball club is trying to scratch and claw for just their tenth win of the season on the road.
And just a couple of changes in the lineup. This is one of the nights where Dalton Rushing is going to catch. He will bat eighth, and Miguel Rojas fills for Max Mounsey at third and he will bat ninth. So the Dodgers at fifty five and thirty two, eight and a half up on the padres to start action tonight, we'll send Dustin May to the Hill against the White Sox, who are twenty eight and fifty eight. Aaron Savali pitching for them.
Tim all right, as we tell you down a first pitch Dodger and get your game day meal on at Shaky's Pizza Marter or your Shaky's Pizza and Chicken Mojo's. Right now is Shaky's dot Com coming up here on Marongo Casino Dodgers on Deck, You're gonna hear from.

Pitch low and away, throw it down a second. Show Hey safe, He's wipe second and O'tani with his twelfth stolen base of the season.

Gets to three thousand.
What a night it was for Clayton Kershaw family friends, sold out Dodger Stadium and all the accolades and flowers given to Clayton and Rifley.
So tim was it was incredible. And you have to think about just obviously, for an achievement of three thousand strikeouts, that's eighteen years playing for Clayton Kershaw like that takes so much time if you just look at the grand scheme of things, and so for him to be able to do that, for him to do it here at Dodger Stadium, Yes, it was the emotions, the highs and lows, but I will say the fans from first pitch and honestly before first pitch, they were so locked in and
in tune. It kind of felt like a playoff atmosphere in here and every single high anytime there was a strike out, any time there was a two count situation, two outs are two strike counts, you just felt everyone on the edge of their seats waiting for that strikeout and for it to happen literally against his final batter there in that sixth inning, just considering the pitch count was getting up, but for Dave Roberts to let him go, to push him, it was it all worked out the
way that it was supposed to be. Obviously, there was a scare with Max Menzi that we'll talk about in a second, but for Clayton Kershaw and for his family, it was an incredible night and then for them to get the walk off win because ultimately, like even Clayton was saying it last night, it's one thing to have that achievement and how special that is, but when you pair it with a win, it just adds to the whole experience and to the whole story.
It was so good to see Clayton get the accolades. It was great that the Dodger's got the win. But certainly the downside of the last night is you allude to Max Muntzi the left knee injury, but I guess things being where they are and what they could have been, this is the best case scenario for Max, just a bone bruise on that left knee.
Yeah, thousand percent, And he even said that last night after contact the immediate reaction goes back to the end of twenty twenty one in which we saw what happened to his elbow, and so that was the immediate reaction. And then it's he's in his head thinking, okay, well, I was there a pop. I don't know what did I feel. But also Clayton Kershaw is on the mound. He's trying to get to three thousand strikeouts, and I'm
not trying to kind of mess up his rhythm. So even Max said today that he was kind of in that weird situation where he's like, get me off the field so that Kershaw can continue and we'll figure it out what it is down there. But then of course he heard the eruption of Dodger Stadium when Kershaw does get the strikeout, and he was like, wow, I would have given anything to be out there on the field playing behind him. So it is that kind of weird feeling.
And even with understanding yes, it's a bone bruise, the timeline, there's still kind of a question mark with that. Right now, it seems like it's going to be about six weeks, but could it be earlier, could it take longer? We have seen with other players on this team. Bone bruises can take a lot of time and it might just be pain tolerance of playing through it. But the fact that there is no structural damage. He had the MRI
this morning. All the scans have come back clear. The fact that that is the case, it's one thousand percent of positive because it does mean that we should be seeing him returning to play this year. So it just might take some more time and it just comes that an unfortunate time because for him, he was getting back on track. Defensively, he was doing really well. Of course he was in the All Star conversation and then you had we've been seeing the power as of late, his
swing has been intact. So that part is a bit challenging for Max, just because everything was going right when it happened. But hopefully once he's able to return from this injury, he'll be able to pick up where he left at and that's the most important thing that he will be returning this year.
Well, growing up they always said drake milk, Tim, drink milk so your bones are nice and strong. Hopefully Max is drinking milk the next six weeks to get those bones strong.
Here's the I think so maybe give him a milk deal. We'll figure out wet's see what we can do it.
For a week ago.
Oh appreciate it. Here's the we'll track give with you after the game. Still they come here.
Casino Dodgers on Deck will dive deeper into this pitching matchup. David veassegoes one on one with Jim Wolf.

Michael Kopek on the ill with the right knee inflammation, Tony Gonsol on the iel with the right elbows soreness, Maximunts he joins them all on the il with the bone bruce to his left knee that he suffered last night. They're expecting six to eight weeks for that bone bruce. No structural damage in that left knee, so that is certainly a blessing and a great news to you here, But a bone bruce still gonna be painful, and looking at.
Six to eight weeks for the Dodger third basement.
All right, let's find out more as we head back out to Dodger Stadium and checking with the Dodger skipper.
Any questions for.
Dave, Dave?
Can you just describe Dave?
Can you talk about the pressure.
In the dugouts with Dave.
Roberts After taking all the information, very relieved. I think that I I I spared myself and didn't watch the replay, and so I think that, yeah, we're optimistic. It's uh, it's I think Max said, it's probably gonna be six weeks something like that.
We don't know.
I mean, I think it's all kind of contingent on how he recovers, speed of recovery, structural no structural damage which was huge, and so you got to sort of obviously, uh, you know, an impact like that, there's some moving of the of the of the the knee and things around the knee. So that's kind of the bone brus and all that stuff. That kind of the healing part of
it is going to take time. But just to know that he's going to be back for a good part of the back end of the season and beyond is very We're very relieved.
Do your team as a game or two better, you know, the one and last percentage bigger lead in the standings than you were.
At this time last year and Youmber last year worked up pretty well.
Does that mean anything?
And do you want to have milestones if you want to hit look like July first, want to be here, August first?
Want to be here?
No?
No, I think that that's hard to chase. As far as kind of the win loss, I think for me it's you just sort of just kind of look at each day separately and just try to win as many games as possible.
Yeah, Dodgers trying to go out there but win, have to win together and see where they fall at the end of the season. And so far the Dodgers' best record in the National League get fifty five and thirty two, thirty two and fourteen at home at Dodgers Stadium, not too shabby. When we continue here on Dodgers on Deck, we'll check in with David Bassay. It's all the latest as we lead you up to first pitch, Dodgers and White Sox.

I accept everybody for who they are.
This is Dodger insider David Basse.
All right, DV.
Last night certainly a milestone night for Clayton Kershaw A lot of celebration. Dodger's back at it today with a chance for the suite. But wow, what of twenty four hours has been.
It really has been in Kershaw style, just getting on with his five day routine today. Day one is a lot of weight room. And then the pitchers were out here taking infield practice and he was out there doing it as well. But part of the inside to last night's ceremonies after he was able to get that three thousand strikeout was the toast in the clubhouse after the game,
where his teammates gathered around him, teammates and staff. And here's what Kershaw had to say in the clubhouse after last night's win.
You know, individual accomplishments are only that. If you're by yourself, it doesn't mean anything, right, you don't have anybody to celebrate with. So to have this group around me to care as much as you did for Freddy, to remind me every day how many strikeouts I have left it for everybody just to be so excited for me to get to do this is that's the biggest thing for me. Because everybody in this room understands baseball is a hard game, and nobody understands that better than this room. So I
just want to say thank you guys so much. Everybody, everybody in here, thank you. It's been a fun ride and let's keep it going. Cheers here, Cheers Kurt.
That's pretty special. And that was a great job by the Dodgers social media team being there in the clubhouse that nobody else saw or recorded Kershaw toasting his teammates.
David is brought to you by the twenty twenty five Ford f one fifty from California's best selling truck brands. It's time to see Ford in a new light. Ford for America from America. Max Monthy last night, right before the three thousand st brikeout got hitting the knee. Good news is not as severe as he thought, and ma's not gonna be out too long.
Yeah, it's gonna be longer than what he would like. Six weeks is what he told us, and he certainly was disappointed. He walked into the clubhouse at his locker Tim with a sleeve going up and down his leg. He couldn't really move his left leg and they're calling it a left knee bone bruise. And earlier today I had a chance to catch joben Max about the disappointment
considering how well he was playing. I mean he was a runner up to be the starting third baseman for the National League and the All Star team.
Yes, I mean it just I don't get to be out there on the field for a little bit. You know that really sucks. I had to go through it last year, and you know, it's it's never fun when you don't get a when you don't get to be out there.
Max, when you were being helped off the field last night, what was going through your head? Did you fear the worst at that point?
Yeah, I mean, yeah, definitely, you know it, to be honest, the first thing that popped into my head was the end of the season in twenty twenty one. You know, I just wasn't wasn't a pleasant feeling. You immediately start replaying everything in your head trying to say, you know, what do I feel? Did I feel a pop? Did I hear pop? And you know any of all that kind of stuff. That way, you can give the medical stuff,
you know, the best best chance of the evaluation. And uh, you know, anytime you're replaying an injury in your head, it's it's not it's not good.
So you may be asking what do the Dodgers do now for the next six weeks at third base. Dave Roberts said, they're going to go with a combination of Key k Hernandez, Miguel Rojas, and Tommy Edmond is going to start taking ground balls at third base. The last time he played third base was twenty twenty one, so he's gonna get reacclimated to that position and take some ground balls starting tomorrow.
Their base by can all right, DV appreciate it. We'll check back you with you in just a little bit.
Coming up, we'll hear for the home plate umpire last neither pride of the eight one eighth chim Wolf.

Today and now joined by David Bass saying, here's La Dodgers broadcaster and World Series champion Dodger Rick Monday.
All Right, Rick, I don't like to use this word too often, but it feels like a little bit of a hangover after last night's playoff, like atmosphere.
I have to ask you a question because Tim Neverett and I were talking earlier this afternoon about the fact, I said, okay, with all the excitement, the adrenaline was going not only on the field but in the stands from the moment that Clayton Kershaw came out of the dugout to walk to the bullpen. He received the standing ovation, And I know that Clayton commented after the gaming that he got well, really caught up in the moment because you and I were both watching him as he walked down.
The only time I remember where he actually acknowledged the crowd because he is so focused all the time, but he did raise his hand up, and I think everybody got caught in the moment. My point is is that last night, you know, Tim and I were sharing we had to wait a long time before we actually fell asleep because we kept going over the game and over
the game and over the game. How appropriate that Kershaw gets numbered three thousand on exactly his one hundredth and final pitch, and it was on the pitch that he worked on for two years before he perfected it enough to use in a major league game, And that was the pitch, the slider that he used to get strike out number three thousand.
You were here covering the team broadcasting games and Joe Torrey called him and a guy by the name of James McDonald into his office and said, hey, you guys both need a third pitch.
Yeah. Yeah, And the fact that that Kershaw works on it, I did not think. However, we're looking at it for Kershaw last night. He did not have anywhere close to his best stuff that we have seen, but he found a way to get it done. We've been talking about Kershaw for years, obviously for good reason too. I mean, his his career has been fabulous, but there are times that we comment is that maybe early in the stages doesn't have the curve. Books, Well, he'll mix it in
here and there until he finally dials it back in. Well, he finally found a few pitches here and there. There were not a whole lot of swings and misses, but just enough to get free. That's all they needed to get three thousands. So congratulations to Clayton Kershaw.
Rick.
What I've thought about as far as the game last night, how different the complexion of last night would have been if Michael Confordo doesn't make that catch in.
The first Absolutely, and I'm glad you brought that up. That was a heck of a catch. Degree of difficulty was he was not low at all. I mean it was. It was very high degree of difficulty because you're going back. First of all, you've got the low fence to the left of the bullpen down the left field line, and then you've got that fence that goes up high and it's padded, so you've had to time it perfectly, not really knowing exactly where you are. But Conforto a big,
big play at the time. Speaking of Kershaw coming up in just a few minutes, and I know he got some looks and I know he had a few things maybe said to him from different dugouts. You're going to be talking to last night's homeplate umpire Jim Wolf, a local product and a good umpire and a good guy. And I say that not even knowing what the interview is going to be when you talk to him a few minutes, but you're actually going to be doing it inside the umpire's room with Jim Wolf.
Yeah.
That's a little intimidating, Rick, to be in the room and with the rest of his umpiring crew listening to every question and every answer.
Yes, you know when you were it's like it's like reciting maybe a lesson while you're in the principal's office.
Yeah. I felt that way. I was as nervous as back when I used to be called into the principal's office.
So did you leave voluntarily or did they finally tell you to get out?
I have a I have a good feel for the room. Ray.
Yeah. Okay, Well we'll be the judges of that when we hear it.
All right, he'll be at third base today. Jim Wolf a good umpire.
Life and a good guy. Yeah, a good guy, no doubt, out of.
El Camino High School in the valley.
Rick, Well, you're responsible for his bio. What are you the agent?
Close? He played litle league, got West Hills.
Stay here we go?

This this high end tight.
We are at Dodger Stadium the day after Clayton Kershaw reaches the milestone at three thousand strikeouts, and we're here in the umpire's room with a man that I personally love because he's from my hometown, the Great West Valley West Hills, the Grete one eight, a man that stops at Dan Super Subs every chance he gets on Ventura Boulevard. That's the one and only Jim Wolf who was behind
the plate last night for Kershaw's milestone. Jim, thanks a lot for the time, and the hair is looking outstanding.
God, I appreciate you noticing. Thanks for having me man.
Now, my first question is I mean, I have respect for the umpires, but I think your crew right here wants to know if you put your shirt in the dryer before you go out there and call games.
Well, my wife is pissed because I shirt.
You know, the word on the street now is there was an NFL referee named Ed Hockey Lee. He really had the zebras on really tight. Jim Wolf may be the swoleest umpire in Major League Baseball. Well, you know my favorite color is what's that tight? I love it? Hey, do you want to give us a roll call of your umpiring crew before we go any further.
Yeah, we got crew chief, Alan Porter, Chris Single, and Alex McKay.
Is it an NFL travel attire like a baseball team wears because everybody's got their football jerseys on.
Absolutely.
So the first half of the season we got hockey sweater sweaters, and then the second half of the season we have NFL jerseys.
Alan's sport in.
The Eagles, so is Chris Siegel, Alex is sporting the Orange Broncos and I got the Steelers.
Nice okay, Jim Wolf Yankee Doodles, a lot of Steeler fans out there, ky Doodles. Is that still there? No, it's no longer there. I used to go there.
I used to frequent that place.
Oh yeah, that was a great place.
Oh my, yeah it was.
We'll leave it right there. Let's talk about last night. What was it like from an umpire's standpoint, be aware of the fact that a future Hall of Famer was on the cusp of such a big time milestone. It was cool.
We got a heads up a couple of days prior, and it had a playoff atmosphere to it. The intensity. You could feel it in the air, and it was just a matter of not if, but when he was going to get his third strike, and he only got three last night, so it was perfect.
What did you think about the reaction of the crowd where he would get it out but it wouldn't be a strike out.
Yeah, it was like, oh, such like disappointment. It's like they had two strikes and they get it or a or like like a little punch and Judy base hit, you know, And it was just you could feel the disappointment in the crowd, and every time.
I balled a pitch obvious ball boo.
You know, it's like it's like, come on, guys.
Exactly, It's like they're like, come on, just give him that strike.
Totally pegging.
Hey, Jim, the one thing that you and the crew got a lot of credit for last night was the fact that you allowed the moment to happen after he was able to get that final strike out with the pitch clock and all that. Now, did you guys have a plan going into the game that you would allow the moment and the crowd to be able to celebrate him.
Yeah.
Absolutely.
We had multiple people come in just give his heads up, like if this happens, he's gonna take a time, they're gonna have they're gonna have a video presentation and stuff like that. So we said, when, do what you gotta do, and we'll start when when it's done.
Being a guy that's from here, and obviously your brother Randy was teammates when year with Kurz Show, When the time is called, are you able as a baseball fan to enjoy the moment?
I wouldn't say. I wouldn't go that far it was.
It was.
It's cool to be a part of some kind of milestone like that, you know, it's just to be on the field and witnessing it.
It's pretty cool.
It's uh, I'm really not a fan, but just to I appreciate great things in baseball.
Yeah, my bad. I'm totally out of bounds inside the Empire's room right now saying fan. But I think we all to a certain extent love the game.
Yeah for sure.
Yeah, that's why we do the job.
Did your brother Randy call you after the game last night, No, he didn't care.
He's in Houston right now and he's he was probably asleep when it all happened.
Okay, sounds good, very anti climactic when you're on the Empire's side. Well, hey, great to see you. Always love having you back in LA. And like I said, I promised the crew the next time you guys are at Dodger Stadium, Dan super Subs is coming your way.

Guys, Tim, thanks again.
We're counting you down to the first pitch tonight at Dodgers Stadium, getting you ready for the third and final game between the Dodgers and the White Sox. Dodgers a chance to sweep, and they'll try to do it behind the right arm of Dustin May. May making his sixteenth start. And an interesting note about Dustin May. He was only ten years old when Clayton Kershaw recorded his first major league strikeout. Now their teammates.
Yeah, and now they're teammates, and for Dustin May, a couple of things going to be looking at that first inning. His ERA is almost at eight so far this season the last four starts, fifteen earned runs he's allowed in twenty one innings that he has worked. And the big key is get ahead early. And I think that point is really underlined when you look at when Dustin May has two strikes on hitters this year, he is the seventh lowest batting average against. It's below one twenty.
And he's got to work on that first pitch strike percentage. It's still fifty six point five percent right now. That's at the bottom of the National League.
Yeah, he is. We're not seeing as many fast bowls right now either. With Dustin May's turned in actually to a little bit more of a breaking ball pitcher. The fast bowl, the slider, and for the fastball, I think we're still seeing him gain a little extra each and every time he goes out as far as the velocity.
Aaron Savali will throw a seven pitch mix. The veteran right Hander will face the Dodgers and Dustin May in game three of this three game set.
Tim all Right first pitch.
His next has been Morogo Casino Dodgers on on the world champion Los Angeles Dodgers Audio Doork
