00:00On the hill today for the Giants will be the right-handed veteran Johnny Cueto Cueto 35 years of A's in his 14th year at the big league level.
00:09Listen to what he's done this year in seven starts three and one with a three eight one ERA 31 strikeouts against six walks.
00:15You're going to see a low to mid 90s fastball best velocity will always be in two strike situations.
00:21He has a great change up.
00:22He'll cut the ball.
00:23He also has a curveball.
00:25And here's Kian Wong.
00:28This is hit up the middle.
00:29Crawford's got it.
00:30He's going to step on the bag for one to throw to first.
00:33Not in time.
00:34Crawford the ability to get the lead runner.
00:36Just under the glove of Johnny Cueto and just one of those defensive sets where it's going to be tough to make a double play.
00:44Look if they don't put the defensive set there they probably don't get the ball.
00:47Kian Wong is at first base and here is Anthony Rendon.
00:50There's a throw to first and he's out.
00:53And not there they got him.
00:55Kind of a double call but the last one is the one that counts.
01:00Now Johnny Cueto has the best move of any right hander in this giant staff and you might even say any left hander as well.
01:07Just great quick feet sets up the move and look at the strike.
01:10And all Lamont Wade has to do is drop and slap.
01:14And in the end Kian Wong had none chance.
01:17Toast.
01:18Dylan Bundy.
01:19Now Bundy last couple of outings have been very tough.
01:21As a matter of fact last three have been a big time challenge.
01:24Though a couple of times he's pitched against the Astros this year.
01:27He's been dynamic.
01:28He has had positive starts this year.
01:30He needs one today.
01:31To Lamont Wade Jr.
01:32That's a changeup.
01:33That's rolled to the right side.
01:35Flip to the athletic Bundy covering.
01:38Walsh to Bundy.
01:39Buster Posey.
01:40Got him over the outside corner.
01:42That is a breaking ball.
01:45Posey goes down on strike.
01:46Seventh start of the year for Anthony Bamboo.
01:49The runners on first and third.
01:51Anthony rolls it to the right side.
01:54They get one.
01:54Crawford can't get it out of his glove and the Halos take advantage.
01:58They strike first with a one to nothing lead.
02:01Boy a break there you thought off the bat because it was hit pretty hard by Bamboo.
02:04There's a chance at a double play ball.
02:06Crawford one of the best shortstops for a lot of years.
02:10Unable to get the baseball out of the glove.
02:12Ward gets it to him quickly.
02:14It's a bobble and a run scores.
02:16And you got the pitcher coming up in Dylan Bundy.
02:18That was a really important play.
02:20It's a little bit of a high throw.
02:21No slide by Rojas.
02:23Forced a high throw.
02:24Play Rendon to pull on the infield.
02:25Rendon hit well out into triples alley.
02:28Jastrzemski's got a beat on it and he runs it down.
02:31Not the spot to hit it in this park.
02:34Well this is not Anthony Rendon's first game at Oracle Park.
02:38He knows what triples alley can do to a good at bat.
02:42Teams cheat over is exactly what Jastrzemski did.
02:45I mean he was cheating over about eight steps from straightaway right field
02:49towards the gap in right center.
02:51And in the end it's just an easy play.
02:53It's such a fun play for Jastrzemski.
02:56One and two.
02:56Here's the pitch.
02:58Got him.
02:58Challenge 94 for Guido's first strikeout.
03:01Here's Rojas.
03:02Got him.
03:03There's some anger behind that fastball.
03:04Elevate.
03:05Just a simple thing is just changing sight lines.
03:08Goes right up across the top of the strike zone.
03:10He gets Rojas.
03:11Ben Boom reached on a fielder's choice.
03:13Got him.
03:14Finally got him the chase after that changeup.
03:17And of the three that he saw in that sequence that was probably the worst.
03:21The one that was farthest away from the strike zone.
03:23Started out there.
03:24Two-seat movement.
03:25Let the tail kind of run away and get the swing through.
03:27See ya.
03:28Bundy.
03:29Here's the pitch.
03:30Swung on and missed.
03:30Strike three.
03:31Got him to change up.
03:33So Guido hits the first batter of the inning and then strikes out three in a row.
03:37The Angels don't score.
03:39Longoria.
03:39Let's see if you can get something that you can hit hard somewhere.
03:43High drive.
03:44What failed.
03:46It is out of here.
03:49And the Giants take the lead.
03:51Stay high.
03:51Devin Longoria.
03:52That was a sweet swing right there.
03:54Home run number nine of the year.
03:57And that is just a thing of beauty.
03:59Ninety-one drop at middle end just above the knee.
04:03And Longoria just makes it look so easy.
04:08Hits it a third of the way up.
04:09For the bleachers.
04:10That's the pretty couple swing we talk about.
04:12Yeah.
04:12Start slow.
04:13Finish slow.
04:14But in between.
04:15Duggar.
04:16Left-handed hitter.
04:17The one-two pitch.
04:19Duggar knew it.
04:21Five strikeouts for Bundy.
04:22He's pitched well.
04:24Had a changeup and then he followed it right with a fastball.
04:27He set a wide target.
04:29Hits the glove.
04:29Rough at bat.
04:30Strike two.
04:31Guido had to sacrifice Bundy's for his time.
04:33Giants leading two to one.
04:36Bundy's got this one.
04:37Lunging to his right and reaching over his head to backhand it.
04:41Bundy.
04:42And he throws Cueto out at first.
04:44Two out.
04:45And Lamont Wade Jr. is going to hit with two outs.
04:47He'll take his time to give Johnny Cueto a chance to get back into the dugout.
04:52Wade a ground ball and a strikeout.
04:53High and deep.
04:55Down the line.
04:57It is out of here.
04:59And that's his first.
05:01How about that?
05:01It's his third career.
05:03First one as a Giant.
05:05And that's one he'll remember for a long time.
05:07He set an outside target.
05:08He missed middle end just above the thigh.
05:11And Wade says, that's where I like him.
05:12Now Dubon, three and two.
05:15Very high.
05:17And deep.
05:18And out of here.
05:21Mauricio Dubon makes it a four to one ball game.
05:24He can never hide a smile, that's for sure.
05:27No, he cannot.
05:28Well, if you replace Eva Longoria, the deal is you have to hit like him.
05:32And he gets a high-hanging breaking ball from Dylan Bundy and takes on left center.
05:39There's the hang and boom, there's the bang.
05:42Boomer Flores.
05:43Now he's ready.
05:45Here comes Solano.
05:47And the Giants are going to get an easy one.
05:50And I think that's a drop-off.
05:51That thing took off, too.
05:53He set an outside target and that just kept sweeping.
05:57That was not a breaking ball.
05:58That ball just takes off.
06:00That could be a pass ball for Bimbo, the catcher.
06:03I mean, he really got eaten up by that thing.
06:05That's a big movement.
06:06Every once in a while, it'll happen.
06:09Pitchers can't even explain how it happens.
06:10Now five to one, Giants leading.
06:12Here's the one-two pitch.
06:14Right center field.
06:16And nobody is there.
06:19Duggar scores.
06:20Flores gets to jog easily into second base with a double.
06:25Nice at bat.
06:26So the line change works.
06:28The line change works.
06:30Bring in a lefty.
06:32And you take your lefty out of the game.
06:33You put your righty in.
06:34And this is what you do.
06:35You go inside out.
06:36You find a gap in right center.
06:38Hit it completely away from the Angels defense.
06:41They had no chance at it.
06:43Tommy at third.
06:43Two down in the ninth.
06:45Ray and two.
06:45The count to Ben Boom.
06:46And the pitch.
06:48Got him.
06:49And that's the ball game.
06:50And the Giants win their fourth in a row as they take game one of this series from the Angels.
06:56The final score.
06:57The Giants six.
06:59The Angels one.
07:00and the Giants one.
