To second-based Tommy Edmond, Lothra, Freddie Freeman with a scoop and the ball game is over.
spk_0
Oh my goodness, Dodgers win.
spk_0
There are two nothing as they head home to Los Angeles.
spk_0
From theMilvy.com, this is the Marlinapodcast.

I'm your host, Will Leach.
spk_0
They is Tuesday, October 7th, and every single League Division series has gone to games now,
spk_0
which means I've got a lot of update in the new.
spk_0
For six innings on Monday, Hey, Zous Luzardo was, as they say, cruising.
spk_0
Philly started was matching two times Saia and the winner Blake Stell pitch for pitch,
spk_0
tossing six shut-out innings, giving up just one hit and one walk against the Mighty Dodgers.
spk_0
Problem was that was exactly as many hits and runs as Stell had allowed against the Mighty Philly's.
spk_0
So this score was tied, Zip, Zip, Zip, Zous Luzardo came out to the 7th, and you can see where Philly's
spk_0
manager Rob Thompson was thinking. Zousardo hadn't even thrown 75 pitches. Philly's bullfitted just
spk_0
on a leading game one. The Philly's fans were roaring for Lazardo, so Thompson led him go back
spk_0
on the mound and did it all fell apart. Game one, hero, Tosca Hernandez, singled, followed by a
spk_0
double from Freddie Freeman. Thompson pulled Lazardo then, but it was too late. After Orion
spk_0
Kirkering, stuck out Tommy Edmund, Kike Hernandez, chopped a Grandrature Trait Turner.
spk_0
The Oscar Street Tome scored the first run in the game, but then things really got out of control.
spk_0
For the base, Lodin 2 outs, Will Smith, who came in midway to game for the second time,
spk_0
this series, came to the play. Will Smith, first ball swinging, line drive down,
spk_0
bass hit. Freddie Freeman is in the score. Hernandez right behind him, and Will Smith delivers with a
spk_0
two-orb-ey single. That made it three to nothing. A show, hey, O'Tonney's single made it four
spk_0
to nothing, and you know, it looked like the game was over, but this isn't the Philly's first
spk_0
rodeo. They weren't exactly going to roll over. That never happens at the rodeo.
spk_0
After scoring a run in the eighth, the Philly's rally to get in the ninth, down four, one with two
spk_0
runners on, Nick Castellanos did this. Line drive over, Muncie's head. It's down the line.
spk_0
It'll score two. Castellanos trying for second to throw. He is safe. They call it safe
spk_0
at second base. And Castellanos delivers a huge hit and brings life to citizens
spk_0
bank part. It's a one-run game here in the bottom of the night. So the Philly's would end up
spk_0
with a time run on third, and the winning run on first, two outs with the NL batting leader
spk_0
Trey Turner coming to the plate to face newly minted relief Ace Rokie Sasaki. It was an extremely
spk_0
intense moment. Round ball to second. Scooped up by a man. He throws first. Dog out by Freddie Freeman.
spk_0
He picks it and saves the game. That's a win for LA.
spk_0
Born a routine play, it comes down to Freddie Freeman making the backhand pickup.
spk_0
And just like that, the Dodgers have a vice grip on this series.
spk_0
Final score is four to three, and the Dodgers have a two O series lead with both wins coming in Philadelphia.
spk_0
Their one went away from advancing to the NLCS for the fourth time in the last six years
spk_0
and ending the Philly season. The series gets another day off as the team's fly west for Wednesday's
spk_0
game three at Dodger Stadium. And sure going to be a long trip for the Philly's who are one game
spk_0
away from having their pro season dream distinguished early once again. Philly's have had another great
spk_0
season and have so much going for them. There's tended to be the case for the last couple of years.
spk_0
Dodgers. Well, Dodgers seem inevitable.
spk_0
Got him.
spk_0
A rebate strikes out the side in the knife and the Brewers have a stranglehold in this series.
spk_0
Jackson Churrio, Brewers Outfielder who is still somehow only 21 years old,
spk_0
went three for three in game one of the NLDS on Saturday against the Cubs before pulling his
spk_0
hamstring and having to leave the game. When he was asked about the entry post game, Brewers
spk_0
manager Pat Murphy, worryingly said obviously it's real scary. It could be devastating. Hearing that,
spk_0
we actually wanted to see Churrio again in 2025, particularly after the MRI of Churrio's hamstring
spk_0
on Sunday was inconclusive. So it was pretty surprising to see Churrio back in the lineup already
spk_0
for game two on Monday night and even more surprising when in the fourth inning, Churrio did this.
spk_0
Center Field, way back there and go on. A three run shot from Jackson Churrio and the Brewers lead
spk_0
seven to three. Churrio apparently heals very fast. Oh, to be 21 again. Churrio's
spk_0
homer was one of three hit by the Brewers on Monday as the Brew crew pounded the Cubs into
spk_0
submission, winning seven three and taking a commanding two old lead in the series. Andrew Vaughn and
spk_0
Contreras also homer in the evening. It really was a downright barrage in Milwaukee and they scored
spk_0
remember all seven of those runs with two outs. You got to find a way and if you have different ways
spk_0
to win, if you just rely on one thing, it's harder to win. So I'm really pleased we did. I mean Vaughn's
spk_0
home run and then Contreras and Churrio's homers, I mean it was the difference in the game. But
spk_0
it was great it did. Cubs looked a little shell shocked and why wouldn't they be? They are now one game
spk_0
away from eliminations and both teams get a day off for taking the short trip down to Riggly for
spk_0
Game 3 on Wednesday. The Brewers have had a special season winning the most games in team history
spk_0
and feeling sort of blessed for months now. With one more win, they'll make their third NLCS ever
spk_0
in their first since Jackson Churrio was 14 years old. Best hamstring healed pretty fast then too.
spk_0
After the break, teams in the American League Division series had Monday off but that's the only
spk_0
day off they're gonna get. What I'm trying to say is they're going to play on Tuesday and I'm
spk_0
trying to let feel down about it. Next week it will have been 10 years since Jose Bautista
spk_0
hit a go ahead three run homer in game five of the 2015 ALDS against the Texas Rangers and did the
spk_0
most epic bat flip of all epic bat flips. I think that bat a decade later is still in the air
spk_0
somewhere. The great baseball writer Sam Miller called Bautista's homer psychologically violent
spk_0
and it's one of the greatest moments in Blue J's history a franchise that knows a big postseason
spk_0
homer when it sees one. One wonders if we're going to be talking about this one from Vladimir Guerrero
spk_0
Jr. in game two of their ALDS against the Yankees this year for the next decade. Swinging it in
spk_0
here, a grand slam hit yourself all you want you will not wake up from this dream right now.
spk_0
The Toronto Blue J's came into the weekend having lost their last seven postseason games over
spk_0
the span of four series in nine years and then they showed up and just rampaged the Yankees
spk_0
outscoring them 23 to eight in front of some gloriously rowdy Canadians culminating in that
spk_0
Vlad Jr. grand slam and yeah epic bat flip. What the Blue J's are doing to the Yankees right now is
spk_0
well as Miller might say psychologically violent but it won't really matter if they can't finish
spk_0
off the Yankees and their first chance to do so is Tuesday night in the Bronx. With the J's up
spk_0
two oh the Yankees are relying on Carlos Rodone to keep their season alive which isn't the worst
spk_0
idea. He pitched last week in game two of the wild card series when the Yankees were facing
spk_0
elimination against the Red Sox and kept them alive to find another day doing well enough that
spk_0
they're actually playing today. The J's will be starting Shane Bieber the former Sao Young winner
spk_0
they pilfered from the Guardians at the trade deadline either the Yankees will live to find another
spk_0
day or the J's will reach their eighth ALCS ever in their first since 2016 and it will be a long
spk_0
tumultuous winter in the Bronx. First pitch is a Yankees stadium in 808 PM Eastern time on FS1
spk_0
Wow was it ever loud in Seattle might you're still hurt that I wouldn't even there
spk_0
no no I'm thinking about I should probably turn the volume down on my TV at least a little bit
spk_0
the Mirrors crowd was clearly dialed up and dialed in for the first two games of its ALDS with
spk_0
the Tigers and as exciting as that Julio Rodriguez double in the eighth inning was it did in fact get
spk_0
them only one win. The series is in fact tied and headed back to Detroit a place that it should
spk_0
be said is a kind of excited about its baseball team as well and now the Tigers have the home field
spk_0
advantage they're going to be pretty happy to be home too they have not had a home game since September
spk_0
21st and in fact have not won a home game since September 6 September 6 that was more than a
spk_0
month ago the Rockies have won a home game since September 6th there is a much more pivotal than
spk_0
game three of a tied series particularly in this one with Terrick Scooble the best pitcher on earth
spk_0
waiting in a potential game five so there's going to be a lot of anxiety at the American park
spk_0
on Tuesday first pitch is at 4 a PM Eastern time on FS1 with Jack Flarety taking the
spk_0
hill for the Tigers and Logan Gilmer making his first start of the postseason for the Mariners
spk_0
I am stressed out already
spk_0
that's all for today morning lineup podcast thank you for listening please be sure to give
spk_0
us a rating and review until everyone you know about this podcast Matt Monaghan will be with you
