About this episode

Richard breaks down Dalton Rushing's challenging game during the Dodgers' win over the Minnesota Twins.

During the Dodgers 4-3 win over the Minnesota Twins on Wednesday, Dodgers backup catcher, rookie Dalton Rushing, had what must have been one of the worst games of his life, including going 0-4, with three strikeouts, and having some significant miscommunications with his battery-mate, starting pitcher (and global superstar) Shohei Ohtani, who is vying to win a Cy Young Award this year. The game has become the talk of the baseball world. Richard breaks it down for you. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
