00:20Live from the venerable grounds of Fenway Park in Boston, Massachusetts.
00:25Mother's Day action on the show.
00:27It's the Tampa Bay Rays and the Boston Red Sox.
00:33First pitch coming at you right after the break.
00:40And towing the slab for the Boston Red Sox in this one, Garrett Crochet.
00:45Singing he's been outstanding and should be fun to watch.
00:49Well, when you have a guy that can limit the opponent to very little run production, you
00:54have a great chance to win a ball game when he takes them out.
00:56He's just had an outstanding season so far.
00:58You hope he can maintain it because if he can, he'll be in a nice conversation at the end
01:03of the year.
01:03Jonathan Arunda leading things off.
01:06It takes a strike.
01:13This one in the air right field.
01:17Dives, but it kicks off his glove.
01:19So a man on base to start the inning.
01:24Good start for him to this ball game tonight.
01:26Now I was talking about getting knocking your first at bat.
01:28Yeah.
01:29It just makes your confidence.
01:31It's such a higher level for the potential to have a big night.
01:45Happy Mother's Day to all the moms out there.
01:48Happy Mother's Day to my mom.
01:49Yes.
01:50Happy Mom's Day.
01:51Happy Mom's Day.
01:55The 0-1.
01:57That's a good pitch there.
01:58Really had some brawn and finished a little up and in just on the edge.
02:03And that's one of those if you swing at it, he had a broken back as you jog back to
02:07the
02:07dugout.
02:24Battling here as he fouls it away.
02:30Just underway here at Fenway.
02:37Out towards left center.
02:39Durant settles underneath it.
02:43Takes it in for the out.
02:45One away.
02:48Now a look at Kevin Cash's lineup for the Tampa Bay Rays.
02:52Big challenge for them today as they take on a pitcher who brings electric stuff and
02:57really racks up the strikeouts.
02:58Yeah, it's crucial to make good contact against a pitcher like this.
03:02You might not get many pitches to hit and it might be the first pitch.
03:06So you've got to be prepared from the start.
03:08Early consistent contact is going to improve their chances.
03:12Junior Caminero in the box here lets that one go for a ball.
03:24Swing and a miss.
03:25And it's a ball and a strike.
03:44Swing and a miss.
03:46Got him to go up the ladder for the K.
03:48Now this pitching staff has been merciless against him in this one.
03:52I mean he struck out six times in this series.
03:54And we've seen no adjustment out of him so far.
04:03That finds the mark on the inside corner.
04:15Swing and a miss.
04:16And it's nothing and two.
04:18Going to really need to hang in there with that front side against this left handed breaking
04:22ball.
04:25Swing and misses.
04:27Struck him out.
04:29Now the Red Sox will get their shot.
04:31No score.
04:32You're watching Tampa Bay Rays baseball on the show Florida.
04:38Back here in Boston.
04:40And on the mound for Tampa Bay in this one.
04:43Steven Matz.
04:44And Chris pitching on the road has not been particularly kind to him.
04:49Yeah and you don't want to be too quick to say that he can't pitch on the road.
04:53Sometimes you know it's just a matter of luck.
04:55It's not having a field difference between the bullpen mound to the mound out there on the playing field.
05:01Don't know what it is.
05:03But I know this.
05:04He's got good enough stuff to overcome and get it done on the road as well as at home.
05:08So we'll see what he's able to do in this one.
05:14This one in the air center field.
05:16Mullins.
05:17Moving under this one.
05:19One down.
05:23As we check out the lineup for the Boston Red Sox.
05:26And one of the most exciting young stars in the sport.
05:29Roman Anthony.
05:30And Boog.
05:31He's their team leader in home runs.
05:33So you know the pitchers on that other side man.
05:35They took a lot of time preparing for him in that pregame meeting.
05:38You know he's got a lot of pop.
05:40And it's real pop.
05:41It's not fluky at all.
05:42He can absolutely change the outlook of a game very quickly.
05:46So watch out when he steps in.
05:55Coming up empty as he chases that one in the dirt.
05:57Man.
05:58That was pretty gross right there.
06:05got him looking that's a strikeout well executed pitch on the outside part of the plate the right
06:11fielder
06:17two outs space is empty now it's the right fielder will you're a brave
06:32you oh look at the stop to first nicely done for the hour we played an inning they'll score
06:45we move ahead to the top of the second now and stepping in for the Rays Carson Williams
06:58Williams launched a homer in his most recent game
07:05a one down
07:09hard grounder into the outfield for a knock solo runner aboard to start the inning everything came
07:17together for him wasn't able to elevate that one but he sure hit it hard enough to get through the
07:21infield there's not a whole lot of time for the defenders to react and try to make a play when
07:26it's ripped like that
07:31step off throw to first Williams back in on a dive
07:43in the air to left center
07:46and it falls
07:49the relay the tag and they cut him down going for two got a lot of the hustle and the
07:55attitude there to
07:56try to stretch that single into a double but unfortunately thrown out at second base he was
08:01so close to being in scoring position Johnny DeLuca next to hip for the Rays
08:08that's in for a strike
08:21swing and a miss and he got him to chase
08:37crochet one of the best strikeout pitchers in the game and that certainly is a benefit to him when he's
08:42in a spot
08:46like this
08:46there's a one two
08:49in the air right field a brave in position
08:53he's there he's got it runner tags from third they put the tag out of him and that's a double
08:59play
08:59to end the unit we'll go to the bottom in a second no score
09:08bottom half of any number two just stepping in from boston wilson contraris
09:18line drive to short and caught one pitch and one out
09:23that is a positive sign even though it probably doesn't feel like it
09:27he hit the ball hard but it doesn't always work out in your favor
09:30sometimes a defender is there to make a play
09:35that one fouled off
09:42no score here in the second
09:48up the middle and it finds its way through for a hit
09:52so a man aboard now with one away
09:57couldn't have timed it up any better than that
09:59i know it was a ground ball but it was absolutely hammered through the infield
10:03that's not one you're excited to get in front of if you're an infielder you know they used to say
10:07charge it crazy here's trevor story now
10:24that one to first
10:27the throw to second is offline
10:45for to lay off that pitch down the last thing he wants is to hit the ball on the ground
10:49but I
10:50wouldn't expect many pitches up in the zone they'll be pitching for a double play in this spot
10:54breaking all in there for a strike
11:02could be some action here on this next pitch couple runners on probably a
11:05challenge pitch coming yeah that's fouled off
11:15this ball's chopped to the ground the second there's a one throw the first
11:23tough play right there didn't really have enough time to set his feet and make a
11:27strong accurate throw had to rush it but he got it off and he got it there in
11:31time to get that out at second base here's the third baseman Caleb Durbin
11:43next offering in there for a strike and now it's even one and one and that one fouled off
11:57fastball right back to the mound in plenty of time to first and that is the inning we'll move to
12:04the
12:05third with no score welcome back and take a look at some hot hitting in this series as we check
12:14out the
12:24numbers
12:25just missed
12:35sold it really well with the arm speed swung underneath it so change up that stayed a little bit more
12:41on plane than
12:42what he was anticipating the 1-1 is fouled off
12:53the 1-2
12:57swing and a miss struck him out he's really good hitting the baseball the other way so credit the pitcher
13:02for having him out in front of that pitch
13:04clearly he had him full
13:11swing and a miss and he chases that one in the dirt
13:24book shambi and chris singleton here on mother's day happy mother's day to all the moms out there
13:31strike three and that's two in a row well he went up there trying to be aggressive that's for sure
13:36hacking at those first two pitches but clearly that last one fooled him he could
13:41have been sitting on something else entirely but you want to be able to adjust on 0-2 and at
13:46least get a swing off when it's in the zone
13:48maybe choke up maybe spread out your stance a little bit you got to give the guy credit on the
13:52mound though he went right after it
13:53a ronda swings through that one as he comes to the plate for the second time today
14:02this one in the air right field
14:05brings it in with a nice running grab
14:08and that'll do it
14:09home half of the third coming up
14:11no score
14:16ready to go for the last half of the year here now the Red Sox
14:20team
14:20Tristan passes
14:23Matt's back to work
14:25in first strike going one
14:35right there for a strike all right now he may have not liked either of those first two pitches or
14:41agreed with the umpires calls
14:42but at this point he's gonna have to bear down and be ready to hit anything close to the zone
14:47one up one down
14:54up next to the red top
14:56the left fielder
14:58Jared
14:59to land
15:14Still tied at zero last to the third
15:20on the ground
15:22and it's through for him
15:23and a man aboard
15:27really nice job staying up the middle with his approach
15:29he didn't try to do too much with the pitch
15:31just shot it through the infield
15:32and now they've got some speed on first
15:34so we'll see if they try to get him into motion
15:37Roman Anthony up next to the Red Sox
15:48and that one clips the corner
15:50Anthony wants to challenge this
15:53thought it was a ball
15:54good eye at the plate
15:55they'll overturn the call
15:57they'll keep both their challenges
16:04that's a ball
16:11ground ball left side could be two
16:13Lux for one
16:15on to first double play
16:17no runs one hit no errors
16:19and no one left
16:20on to inning number four
16:22we're tied
16:23nothing nothing
16:37on to extra innings
16:39Yandy Diaz now
16:40up now leading the league in doubles
16:43and doing it with style
16:45yeah that swing is built for line drives
16:48finds open space early and often
16:52he's a precision hitter
16:54reading pitches and punishing mistakes
16:57yeah and when he squares one up
16:59it's trouble for the outfielders
17:01they're chasing all day long
17:03that smash towards center
17:06brings it in
17:08and there's one away
17:11up next to Tampa Bay
17:13the third baseman number 13
17:15Junior Caminero
17:26nope ball one
17:35no that pitch not even close
17:37a 2-0 count now
17:38he can't be over aggressive
17:40he's got to make sure
17:40that pitch is right on a tee for him
17:47swings and blasts one deep to left center
17:49way back there
17:50it's got a chance
17:51and it's off the green monster
17:54now a relay to second
17:56and in there with a double off the wall
17:59he needed out one
18:00it's been a tough stretch at the plate lately
18:02now let's see if they can put up the first run of the game
18:09so up next Cedric Mullins
18:12struck out swinging his first time
18:16down the middle for a strike
18:18and it's 0-1
18:30the Rays looking to strike first
18:33top half of inning number four
18:37so now one and two
18:51Sia strikes him out for the second time
19:10two outs and one in scored position
19:19late with the swing there
19:20when you throw a fastball by a guy like that
19:22I imagine it's got to feel incredible
19:25look for him to throw it again at some point
19:30next offering way upstairs
19:39and that's it for a strike
19:42Caminero at second with two down
19:51high fly ball right field
19:53Abreu drifts towards it
19:55and that is that
19:58onto the bottom of the fourth now
20:00still with no score
20:05bottom four
20:06Joe stepping in for Boston
20:08Willier Abreu
20:15and that curveball drops in there for a strike
20:24fouls went off out of play
20:25back to our left
20:28the 0-2
20:32on the ground to the left
20:35on the first
20:36one out in the bottom of the fourth
20:40let's take a look at his pitch usage
20:42in this one Ziggy
20:43the sinkers is bread and butter pitch
20:45and he's gone to it plenty in this one
20:47he's used it on more than half his pitches so far
20:50the results speak for themselves
20:52and he probably won't want to change a thing
20:56now this guy is just filling up the strike zone right now
20:58don't want to get yourself in an 0-2 hole
21:00you better be ready to pull the trigger on the first pitch
21:04this to third
21:07whips it to first
21:09already two gone here in the home for it
21:12we saw a few skills on display there for the out
21:14technique was great reaction time was there
21:17and the slide was smooth
21:18watching that play come together was really fun
21:21so digging in Carlos Narvaez
21:26swing and a foul pushed off to the right
21:29and that will get out of play
21:33two down nobody on
21:35we're here in the bottom of the fourth
21:38the changeup missing
21:39ball one
21:50that clips the corner
22:00strike three got him looking on the changeup
22:03through four still tied zip zip
22:11ready now for the fifth inning and stepping in for the Rays Chandler Simpson
22:22that's in there
22:23that strike one nobody on the team has more stolen bases than he does this season Chris
22:33and that one fouled off
22:42field two
22:46swing and a ball popped in the air
22:48out to shallow center
22:50out to shallow center
22:51one away
22:56up and here's a look at how he's using his pitches in this one
22:59Johnny DeLuca
23:11that misses the zone
23:13ball one
23:20this one in the air center field
23:24and a couple of quick outs
23:29up next for Tampa Bay the catcher number nine
23:32so next to the plate for Tampa Bay
23:35Hunter for Ducha
23:36he was a strikeout victim his first time
23:43he's been incredibly efficient in this one
23:46first pitch strike percentage over 70 percent
23:48that's well above league average
23:50and that's what's allowed him to pitch well up until this point
23:53barely a hair out of the zone but it was a ball
23:56so they still got both their challenges
24:02ball that's inside
24:14brings it in and that is that
24:17he continues to roll on the mound as five shutout innings are in the books
24:24welcome back
24:25quite a pitcher's duel so far here's how the starters are performed up to this point
24:38you know these red sox need to bring up the quality of their bats and specifically their swings
24:44they're trying to find ways to drive the ball with some authority but
24:47this one swung on and hit well way back there into the monster seats and gone
24:54trevor story with a star scraper
24:56third home run of the season the red sox score first it's one zip
25:03the one thing the pitcher didn't want to happen just happened that's not an easy one to stomach
25:08a good hitter gets pitch recognition early he saw exactly where that was going to be the challenge
25:14not get over anxious and come out of your swing he stayed on it and got all of it
25:24sometimes you have to keep chipping away until you break through but it's a lot easier to put
25:28runs on the board when you have runners in scoring position because they put themselves there
25:33breaking ball misses down and away
25:39off the mark there ball three he hasn't followed behind an account like this all day he's in danger
25:46of walking his first batter right here and there's ball four they'll just came apart right there a
25:51four-pitch walk and the guy at the plate was not going to help him out by swinging at something
25:55out of
25:56the zone caleb durbin up next for the red sox this is again five in a row good slider down
26:04and in can
26:05be so hard to get on plane with you're better off taking that pitch
26:19one on nobody out a run in last half of inning number five foul ball left side he'll see another
26:32swing swing and this one's bounce to the ground flips it there's one got it not in time great effort
26:40there up next for the red sox the designated hitter griffin comes back
26:51grounds one to short and that one finds its way through quick throw back in lead runner holds it
26:57second with one gone well that started it ended pretty quickly no messing around right there just
27:02a simple ground ball the other way they had eyes on it man sometimes that's all you need to do
27:07just
27:07let the ball travel put the ball in the play and just hope it finds a
27:19right now batting jaron duran that one finds the zone and that is strike one well all eyes on the
27:26double play ball in this spot no better way to get out of this inning so now it's all about
27:32protect
27:32mode try to shorten up try to track the ball block it if you have to as far as just
27:37a late swing that
27:38maybe you're not oh this falls down and that could bring in a run in comes the run from second
27:44now the
27:45throw comes in runner holds it third well here we are third time through the order and this is where
27:50we see the ops jump off manager might have to go to the bullpen a little bit sooner than he
27:56anticipated
27:58ripped into left for a base hit one run across here's the throw to the plate safe at home and
28:04the
28:04runner scores from second and they lead by four gets the job done as he brings home a pair nice
28:11job
28:11at driving that pitch the other way on a line you know hitters they take so many reps in the
28:16cages
28:16working on going to the opposite field and it doesn't always translate into the game but right
28:20there it did and he did it perfectly foul ball
28:30anthony the base runner at first with one out
28:34swing and a pop-up in foul ground
28:39caminero takes it in for the out out number two boy that was a hanging breaking ball right there
28:46i think he tried to do a little bit too much sometimes those eyes can get really big i think
28:51his swing broke down as well and that's what caused him to pop it up ground ball left side and
28:56foul ball
28:58well they've been able to score four runs off of him in this inning and this is where you want
29:02to just
29:02max out get as much as you can give him one of those tough innings where it's going to be
29:06hard for
29:07him to recover in the next one here's the o2
29:12into the outfield base
29:14and out to a board
29:17fellow found himself behind in the count right there but he didn't give in
29:21smashed that one through the infield for the knock but it's hit that hard it makes it
29:25very tough on the infielders to make any sort of play narvaez in the box now take strike one
29:37in the dirt
29:46two on two outs on the ground right side he takes it himself to the bag and that'll do it
29:55nine men come to the plate four score five innings complete the red sox four the rays nothing
30:03we're back with a look at key moments so far in this one
30:07and now
30:31And now, Gavin Lux.
30:34The second baseman, Gavin Lux.
30:47This is a very important inning here.
30:50After scoring all those runs, you want your pitcher to come out and just mow them down.
30:54The offense has worked hard.
30:55It's shut down inning time.
30:59That one finds the zone.
31:01That strike two.
31:11Swing and a miss.
31:12Crochet gets the strikeout.
31:14Well, I think he's got to be feeling pretty invincible out there on the mound right now.
31:18I mean, he's got the shutout working so far.
31:20And even when he challenges these guys, he's getting away with it.
31:24That pitch right there really wasn't anything special.
31:26A hittable pitch.
31:27But he gets the punch out.
31:31The Rays down by four.
31:33And we're at the top half of the sixth.
31:38Hard liner.
31:40And that's got extra bases written all over it.
31:47Relay to second.
31:48Not going to get him.
31:49He's in there.
31:50Got a good pitch to drive.
31:51Stayed short with his bat path to the ball and caught it out front.
31:54And he stayed long in his follow-through.
31:57That's how you split the gap.
31:58And that's pretty much a double every time.
32:01Could be a chance here for them to start clawing back.
32:10This ball game.
32:17Now, Yandy Diaz.
32:19Right through there for a strike.
32:30Man, it's second.
32:32That one finds the zone.
32:34Oh, a two down.
32:35Oh, this guy's so comfortable hitting with two strikes.
32:38Even a good pitch early in the at-bat.
32:39If he's not ready to pull the trigger, he's not worried if he gets to an 0-2 count.
32:46In the dirt.
32:47Blocked.
32:56Fouled off the plate.
32:57They'll do it again.
33:10And that's all the swing.
33:12It's a strikeout.
33:13For Tampa Bay, the third baseman, number 13, Junior Caminero.
33:27That's the ball.
33:29Rudder at second.
33:31Two down.
33:36No need to go right at this guy.
33:38First base is open.
33:39He can hurt you.
33:40So, make him expand his zone.
33:42If he doesn't, give him a walk.
34:01Man on second.
34:02Two down.
34:03Fouls one off.
34:04Two and two.
34:06Two.
34:15Fouls it back with two strikes.
34:28Fights it off.
34:28He'll see another.
34:30Fouls are really good at bat.
34:32What I like about this guy, his bat stays in the zone for a long time.
34:35Gives him the ability to foul off tough pitches.
34:38Here's a 2-2.
34:41And a foul ball.
34:42He stays alive.
34:44Eighth pitch of the at bat coming up.
34:51That one not close.
34:53Three and two now.
35:01Stays alive.
35:12And a payoff pitch.
35:14And ball four to a board.
35:16When you go that deep into it at bat, the hitter usually comes out on top.
35:20And the center fielder, Cedric Mullins.
35:25Cedric Mullins will hit next.
35:28Mullins having a lot more success on the road this season.
35:35Oh, he doesn't get the call.
35:37And it's one to know.
35:38Activity in the bullpen for the Red Sox.
35:40Number 56.
35:41The rookie right-hander is getting loose.
35:44Sandoval getting cranked up as well.
35:48And that one is lifted in the air.
35:53And that'll do it.
35:56Make it six shutout innings for him out there now.
35:59You're watching Tampa Bay Rays baseball on the show, Florida.
36:05Now pitching for the Red.
36:06Back down for the bottom of the six.
36:08And there's a new pitcher on the mound.
36:10Brian Baker.
36:11Well, they need someone to stop the bleed and keep the score right where it is.
36:15Seems like a tough task today with the way this lineup is swinging it.
36:20Dorey.
36:30Dorey.
36:32Fall-off foul.
36:39Ball one.
36:48swings and misses and that's one out as they get the leadoff hitter in the six i love to see
36:53guys
36:54compete and i know he's frustrated that he wasn't able to do anything with that pitch you see it so
36:58well but you have to respect the upper 90s velocity and it is hard to catch up to no need
37:05to offer that
37:05pitch until you get to two strikes it's just a low percentage of success when you want to try to
37:10go
37:10after that down and away pitch
37:20chop to first arunda takes it to the bag two away up next for the red sun the third baseman
37:28number
37:29five two down base is empty now the third baseman caleb durbin
37:36yeah a big swing and a miss chris he's currently the team leader in stolen bases
37:45ball one baker 31 years old and they went out and made a trade for him last season
37:53tap foul at the plate
37:57two down nobody on fights that one away still wanted to
38:08really good take especially with two strikes
38:18on the ground to third and it goes just foul
38:27the two two
38:30and down on strikes and that is the third out of the inning
38:34nothing doing for boston but they're in front for nothing
38:42back here at the ballpark let's check out the latest news from around the league
38:57all one
39:09i think he just took the best pitch he's going to see in this at bat you don't get many
39:13like that
39:14in that location i don't know if you take that pitch against any pitcher out there on the mound
39:19hammer down the right side but foul
39:30fouled off and they'll do it again
39:38another one too
39:42what a stop over to first and they get the out
39:50up next for tampa bay the left fielder chandler
40:05i'm impressed that he went right after him on that first pitch that's the key try to get ahead
40:10in the count and you can play around a little bit more as it bat expands
40:16swung on popped up on the infield meyer
40:21and there are two down well that's a frustrating into the at bat for the hitter right there i mean
40:27that pitch was right down the middle i think he got a little too excited came out of his mechanics
40:31instead of driving that ball somewhere he popped it up unfortunate for him
40:38ripped on a line to center and that's the third out still in total command on the mound with seven
40:46shutout innings this is raised baseball on the show florida back now at benway now here's the red
40:54sucks dh tristan casas that's a good miss off the inside part of the plate
41:01he'd much rather miss there than out over the plate where this guy could do some real damage
41:05next pitch in for a strike and the count even one and one
41:13pulled hard but it's a foul ball
41:20one two now high fly ball down the left field line that's back there and out of here he deposits
41:29that
41:30one into the monster seats third home run of the season and they tack on to their lead
41:36it's five zip and that shot makes their grip on the lead even tighter
41:48that was one of those home runs where you really don't know if he got enough of it off the
41:51bat i mean
41:52he put a good swing on it clearly but i wouldn't say he really got the sweet spot on the
41:56bat the exit
41:57below wasn't anything too impressive but it had all it needed for him to circle the pillows
42:12with the big bats coming up and a home run already surrendered he's really gonna have to execute against
42:19these next couple of batters nobody on nobody out with a run in here the bottom of the seven
42:26got him looking for the strikeout and that's the first out nice recovery after giving up the homer
42:33roman anthony up next for the red sox
42:41that's in for a strike a slider well he had a pretty good look at that pitch and not sure
42:46exactly what tied him up there couldn't pull the trigger and perhaps the best pitch you'll see in this
42:52back to hit hit hit hard base hit
43:06anytime you rip
43:12line drive the other way you feel really good about what you did at the plate you trusted your hands
43:18you let the ball travel and you took the ball straight to it that's great work right there
43:23quick throw back in lead runner holds it second with one gone
43:29he wasn't able to elevate it but he put a great swing on it right on time good balanced approach
43:35and
43:35just blasted it through the infield contreras the next to hit takes ball one well the skipper calls down
43:41to the bullpen he's expecting the guy to come in and get oh this one high and deep way back
43:48there
43:49and it's over the monster and off the billboard wilson contreras blasts one out it's their second home
43:57run of the inning and they boost their lead that's their third home run of the game they're having a
44:03lot of fun at the plate in this one they've got the long ball working for them on autopilot then
44:08a
44:09two-hole count a hitter is on high alert this is what you live for to be in the driver's
44:14seat here
44:14he got a pitch that he can handle and he hit that pitch really hard nice home run
44:22that one way inside
44:27in the air out to center it falls in and that's a base in and that's a one-out single
44:35the batter number 10 shortstop trevor story comes up to the plate
44:42in the dirt
44:51ground ball left side could be two lux for one double play and that'll do it for the inning
44:58but two round trippers in this inning the long ball was working it's now an eight nothing game
45:05it's an al east matchup here on mlb the show
45:10now welcome back and a new arm on the mound to start the eight number 56 and you know broken
45:17guys can
45:18struggle sometimes when they're called upon with big leads because it just doesn't have the same
45:22intensity as a tight game so we'll see how sharp he is your mental toughness matters in situations like
45:28this as well
45:35comes up empty yeah i don't think anyone's got good numbers swinging at pitches in that location
45:43foul ball it stays nothing in two
45:52good job to fight that one off well with two strikes you want to stay back long enough for that
45:57breaking
45:57ball but he handled a fastball slightly elevated good job by the hitter right there to spoil it away
46:11swing and a high fly ball hit the air left center field this one's got a chance
46:16and it hits off the monster pulls into second that's a double to start the eighth really nice
46:23job of two strike hitting and that at bat put a really nice balanced swing on it and when you
46:28can
46:28rope one into the gap like that you're thinking extra bases from the first couple of steps out of the
46:33box
46:34and he'll feel real good about that one so man aboard now it's the second baseman gavin lux
46:41three pitch strikeout last time up gotta put up more of a fight in this one
46:55the one on this one in the air right field
47:00makes a nice running catch runner tags it second applies the tag and they get two double play well
47:09i think the base runner assumed that he was going to be able to make it to third pretty easily
47:12but
47:13a really nice relay from the outfielder to the cutoff man and they got him easily
47:42two down nobody on all red sox in this one
47:48that one drilled left field that's got a chance and it bangs off the monster
48:00having himself a really nice game at the plate fastball off the plate a little bit but a really
48:05nice job of going with him punched it to the opposite field for that knock
48:09two outs runner at first now up for tampa bay yandy diaz
48:21you're one to third derby they get the force and that is the inning one left for tampa still eight
48:31nothing
48:35now back now new pitcher on the mound as we roll into the bottom of the eighth garrett clevenger and
48:42with the big deficit on the scoreboard he almost has to
48:45just put that out of his mind every outing matters for relievers in their numbers but
48:50i think it's tough to get up for this type of appearance the same way you would for one in
48:54a close game
48:55in the air to left center mullins on the move and there's one down
49:05caleb durbin now at the plate 0 for 3 with two ground outs and a strikeout
49:11pitches in the dirt ball the red sox up big in this one here the bottom half of the eighth
49:17inning
49:29and they'll do it again
49:33the one two keeps the impact going with a foul ball
49:40the one two spoils the two strike pitch and he'll see another
49:48the one two
49:51knocks that one away and we'll do it again
49:59on the ground right side and that's just foul
50:04ninth pitch of the at bat due next gets a piece there we'll do it again
50:18this is something else running that pitch count off i can't imagine how frustrating it must be for the
50:24pitcher to have so many good pitches spoiled off like this
50:28that was a strong at bat even though he couldn't find a way on base
50:31up next for the red sox up the designated hitter
50:41in there and it's all in one
50:47ball
50:55that one missed
51:02hard hit left side and that's the inning
51:08red sox go down quietly as the lead holds at eight to nothing
51:16we go to the ninth for camp event stepping in for the rays junior camonero
51:35here
51:36there's a strike
51:44i don't like to say he wasted a pitch i think that was a purpose pitch
51:48change the eye level have him look up now go back exactly where you want to go
52:00and it's fouled off they'll do it again
52:06two two on the way
52:09worm burner into the outfield for a knock
52:14and the lead off man aboard

53:07carson now it's the shortstop carson williams one for three
53:20slapped hard the other way but foul

54:03the left field that one foul
54:10second and third one away here at the top of the night
54:29in the air left field

54:38managed to make
54:38the catch that could have turned out much worse cats saved him a run here comes the manager out of
54:44the
54:44dugout and he'll make a move for the bullpen number 56 out of the game and he's on the hook
54:50for the
54:50runners at second and third so looking for some help there back in a minute
54:59now picking new pitcher for the red sox justin sleep the offense will need to be ready for the
