Freeman was initially in the starting lineup, but got scratched less than two hours before the game in a bit of \u201cgamesmanship,\u201d he said, as he nurses his sprained right ankle.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c[Playing on] back-to-back days, it\u2019s a little tough,\u201d said Freeman, who was removed early from Tuesday\u2019s game for the second time this series. \u201cSo we just decided at breakfast that I wasn\u2019t going to play.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In their absence, however, Ohtani (one hit, two walks, one RBI), Betts (two hits and two RBIs) and Teoscar Hern\u00e1ndez (two hits) delivered star-caliber performances \u2014 even when accounting for a  wacky fifth-inning play when a possible RBI double from Hern\u00e1ndez hit the arm of third-base umpire Mark Ripperger, leading to Ohtani getting thrown out at home plate.<\/p>\n<p>The bottom of the batting order was equally impressive.<\/p>\n<p>Kik\u00e9 Hern\u00e1ndez capitalized on his first start of the series with two hits (while also flipping between third base and center field depending on if a fly-ball or ground-ball pitcher was on the mound), making a strong case to remain in the lineup for Game 5.  Lux continued his strong series with an infield single in the sixth and an insurance two-run homer in the seventh. Even Tommy Edman, who didn\u2019t have a hit, contributed with a sacrifice bunt that scored a run.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe grinded out some at-bats tonight and we got some runs on the board,\u201d said Muncy, after his team went five for nine with runners in scoring position. \u201cWe stayed within ourselves \u2026 It was fun to watch.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It was everything the Dodgers hoped would happen coming into the game; and everything they failed to produce when facing elimination the previous two years.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have the players and the people that can make this happen,\u201d Teoscar Hern\u00e1ndez said of the Dodgers\u2019 attempt to come back in this series. \u201cAnd I trust every single guy in that clubhouse.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\r\n     data-ad-layout-key=\"-fb+5w+4e-db+86\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"7910942971\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><div data-type=\"_mgwidget\" data-widget-id=\"1660802\">\r\n<\/div>\r\n<script>(function(w,q){w[q]=w[q]||[];w[q].push([\"_mgc.load\"])})(window,\"_mgq\");\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.latimes.com\/sports\/dodgers\/story\/2024-10-09\/dodgers-dominate-padres-nlds-game-4\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SAN DIEGO\u00a0\u2014\u00a0 In the hours before Game 4 of the National League Division Series at Petco Park on Wednesday night, there was a quiet but palpable belief around the Dodgers &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/?p=112566\" class=\"more-link\">Read More<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-112566","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-sports","entry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/112566","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=112566"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/112566\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=112566"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=112566"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=112566"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
