00:00and.
00:05Louder known for his pristine
00:06command his wide variety of
00:08pitches.
00:10We'll see how he settles right
00:12at the end of the second out of
00:14the big leagues.
00:16Last time out he had those four
00:18innings pitched and.
00:20He had the untypical a typical
00:21four walks.
00:23He normally is not that guy but
00:25the six punch outs I thought
00:27were impressive.
00:28Anytime your major league debut
00:29We were able to harness your
00:31emotions as Joe's coming in with
00:33an overall record of seventy
00:35five and sixty four eleven
00:36games over five hundred.
00:38They have twenty three games to
00:39go and they are trying to solve
00:42the Cincinnati Reds for the
00:43first time since 2016.
00:45That's their last win against
00:47the Reds and just two and 13
00:49overall since the 13 season to
00:52short top play.
00:57I'm really not sure how many
00:58shortstops in the game.
00:59Baseball can make this play.
01:00First of all he stretches out
01:02completely goes down on his knee
01:04writes himself up and fires a
01:07bullet on one hop across the
01:08infield and Altuve even though
01:10he's thirty four years old still
01:12gets down the line.
01:13What a great play there by De
01:15La Cruz and now a line drive
01:16smash and a diving catch by Ty
01:19France at first laying out to
01:22his right on a bullet off the
01:23bat of your Don Alvarez.
01:25Now the defense has come to play
01:27today.
01:28Wow.
01:29Right off the get go keeps
01:31winning boys the fall of the
01:33Reds season has seen many highs
01:36and while they are sixty seven
01:37and seventy three it's been a
01:39disappointing year certainly
01:41they have routed teams.
01:43They have hung big numbers on
01:44some big teams.
01:45They have played their best
01:46against many of the best and
01:48it's way too high ball for and
01:51it's a two hour walk to Yiner
01:52Diaz.
01:53He looks a little amped up right
01:54now.
01:55Here's Alex Bregman.
01:56Bregman had a double and two at
01:58bats yesterday after missing
01:59four games back in the lineup
02:01for the second straight day.
02:02Bregman swing skies went high
02:04into the air short left Ellie's
02:05out from short on in a hurry as
02:07Spencer Steer it'll be Steer to
02:09make the catch and the side is
02:12retired starter for the finale
02:14for the Astros is the right
02:15hander Hunter Brown Hunter
02:16Brown.
02:17We know we all we hear about is
02:18the two the two senior which he
02:20pitches into the right handed
02:21hitters which has been a weapon
02:22for him to get him off his
02:23slaughter.
02:25The Reds explosive first inning
02:27yesterday the fuse lit by
02:29Jonathan Indian three to his
02:31ground is to the left side.
02:32Bregman cuts in front of
02:33Jeremy Payne to make the play in
02:35India retired for the first out
02:39but one of a kind.
02:40Ellie Dela Cruz three hits
02:42yesterday two doubles and a two
02:44run single.
02:46How about that.
02:46Ellie Dela Cruz a three pitch
02:48strikeout Hunter picks up his
02:49first K of the day.
02:52I'm going to kind of beat this
02:54you know point to the ground
02:55just watch his mound presence
02:57out there and how things have
02:58changed.
02:59When Hunter was going through a
03:00tough time his mound presence
03:02was terrible and he knew it
03:04mostly because we've all told
03:05him.
03:06Stevenson two hits three ribbies
03:08yesterday his fourth game of the
03:09year driving in three or more.
03:13Crack to left center spills in
03:15front of the Jason Chaz McCormick
03:18another base hit for Tyler
03:19Stevenson in a little bit up the
03:22this is what Tyler has done
03:24since he's been on this real
03:25good hitting streak.
03:26Just stay with the swing.
03:28So Stevenson a board with two
03:30out for TJ Friedle left handed
03:32hitting center fielder Friedle
03:33grounds one to the right side
03:34out to Bay gobbles it up and
03:37that'll do it for the Reds in
03:37the first one hit one left on.
03:39We head to the second inning
03:40scoreless the second walk
03:42allowed by louder.
03:43He walked four in his four
03:45innings in his first big league
03:46start.
03:47Now he's walked to in the second
03:48inning of this one and Chaz
03:50McCormick bats he's having a
03:52serious he is.
03:52You know I think Chaz is going
03:53to do well.
03:54I think he's when Chaz gets
03:56going in his mind is right.
03:57He can do some great things
03:58swinging the ground ball should
03:59be to Ali has it scoops to
04:01India one and that's around the
04:02first in time big stretch by
04:04France.
04:05But it's in time for the double
04:06play six four three two in the
04:08Astros second time.
04:10Francis retired what Ty Francis
04:13retired by the Astros.
04:15He had seven straight hits to
04:17start the series.
04:18They've actually retired him now
04:20two times they faced Jake
04:22Fraley lines one over the head
04:23of Jeremy Payne in the center
04:24field.
04:25So a couple of two out singles
04:26today for the Reds Fraley going
04:28after the first pitch.
04:29That's something he does more
04:30than any other hitter in
04:31baseball.
04:32Number one he is number one in
04:34swinging at the first pitch he
04:36takes off good jump pitch called
04:38a strike throw down tails bad
04:40good charge by Chaz McCormick
04:42backing up from center that
04:43holds Fraley the second he picks
04:45up the steal.
04:46Now Espinel got a board with a
04:49walks yesterday and scored and
04:51Espinel sends a fly ball pretty
04:53well hit the center going back
04:54on it McCormick and in the right
04:56center gap as he reaches the
04:57warning track he makes the catch
04:59Brett Louder in his second major
05:01league start so far shutting out
05:03the Astros on just one hit he
05:05has walked to runs inside.
05:07Did he go did not check in with
05:09the first base of Bregman says
05:11it hit him.
05:12Yeah he just pointed to the
05:13Astros dugout to take a look at
05:14that and he takes off all of his
05:16equipment.
05:17That's how sure he is.
05:19Yeah it looks like the Astros
05:20are going to challenge show a
05:21spot is out of the dugout.
05:23Throwing on the field is a foul
05:24ball.
05:25No hit by pitch.
05:26Houston's challenging Alex is
05:28even waiting for the review.
05:30He's heading down to first
05:31without his gear.
05:32He knows he was hit.
05:34This will be a pretty quick
05:35review you would think Alex is
05:36not going to run the first base
05:37if it didn't hit him.
05:38Yeah that's the angle the
05:39centerfield camera that they
05:40just showed here at the stadium
05:42and the ball's definitely under
05:43his back.
05:44Oh yeah he's fine here.
05:45You'll see this one.
05:46This is clear and convincing.
05:46Yeah that's clear and
05:47convincing.
05:48You'll see space in between the
05:49bat and the ball.
05:50Yeah I know.
05:51I saw that one.
05:52Yeah that one I like.
05:54So it's definitely not a foul
05:55ball.
05:56So it's definitely a hit by
05:56pitch.
05:57You marry those two together and
05:58you have a hit by pitch.
06:00I love it.
06:01The only thing I'm concerned
06:02about is it's taking longer than
06:03it should.
06:04That's what I'm saying.
06:05This should be a hit by pitch
06:06over.
06:07Definitely not a foul ball.
06:08It's the early game guys are
06:10still settling in there in the
06:11rock in New York City.
06:12You're hoping that they have a
06:13clear and convincing view of
06:15the center field camera.
06:16I mean the ball is clearly under
06:17the bat.
06:18Yes.
06:19Oh my gosh.
06:19He's walking back after a view
06:21of the ruling on the field
06:22stands the foul ball.
06:24Don't hit my face.
06:25It's not possible.
06:26That is the craziest non
06:28overturned.
06:29This is clear that ball is
06:31underneath his bat.
06:33There's no chance that ball could
06:34hit his back.
06:35That's terrible.
06:36That is absolutely incredible
06:39that they don't overturn that
06:40Joe Espada can't believe it.
06:42Obviously the argument is with
06:44the guys in New York not the
06:45guys here.
06:48That is one of the worst stands
06:50calls I have ever seen.
06:52That's really bad for a team
06:54struggling it's even worse.
06:55Yes.
06:56That is strike three called
06:57Bregman thought it was low and
06:59that was right at the knees as
07:00good pitch.
07:01Norah rings him up and Bregman
07:03just got thrown out of the game.
07:05Yeah Bregman is frustrated
07:06there.
07:07You know he feels like he got
07:08that plate appearance taken away
07:09from him.
07:10He thought he was hit by a pitch
07:12doesn't get the call and just
07:15he's been in the argument a
07:15little too long.
07:16But you can certainly understand
07:18the frustration of Alex and Joe
07:20Espada out there wouldn't be
07:22surprised if he winds up
07:23getting tossed.
07:24Oh that might have been Joe that
07:25got tossed.
07:26Maybe Bregman is still in the
07:27game.
07:28Bregman pointed at himself like
07:28did you just get me.
07:30OK.
07:31Yeah.
07:32Omar Lopez has the clipboard so
07:34that could be a sign that it's
07:35Joe and not Bregman.
07:35So there you go.
07:36I don't blame Joe either.
07:37No.
07:38Thank goodness we got him on in
07:39the third inning.
07:40Yeah we would have missed it all.
07:41I don't blame Joe for being.
07:44I mean that's a big that's a bad
07:46miss really bad miss Hunter has
07:49been outstanding and given the
07:51Astros length since May 22nd.
07:54He has done that in 16 of 18
07:56starts going at least six
07:57innings and the two starts he
07:58didn't get six innings.
08:00He was five and a third and five
08:01and two thirds towards the whole
08:04Peña backhands.
08:05His throw will be in time.
08:08Jeremy Peña what a play.
08:10Kept that throw in the air and
08:12Jonathan Indiana spectacular
08:14play.
08:16That's just a good play all
08:17around.
08:17We've seen some really good
08:18defensive plays here in the
08:20infield really from the very
08:22beginning of this ballgame.
08:23Now Ellie Dela Cruz who started
08:25off the defensive showcase
08:27today and that is strike three
08:29call at the knees with the
08:31curveball.
08:31Dela Cruz goes down looking at
08:33the side is retired.
08:34Reds and Astros are scoreless
08:36back to work.
08:37Rett Louder went four innings in
08:39his first start.
08:40Here he is pitching into his
08:41first inning today top to short
08:43backhand Dela Cruz long throw.
08:50Well they keep testing him out
08:51and he keeps making the plays.
08:54Really nice job right there no
08:56panic kind of snow cone that
08:57ball and this time perfectly
09:00placed out in front of tie
09:01France allowing him to make the
09:04play excellent even getting a
09:07man on with one out would
09:09independently be a big deal.
09:10Reds haven't achieved that yet.
09:12All of their base runners want
09:14to walk four hits have come with
09:16two down and worked out.
09:18That was one of the harder hit
09:19baseballs of the day.
09:20Thought it hit something hit
09:21something and hit Pena's glove.
09:23No not that ranks of Spencer
09:26Stier reached on an infield hit
09:28in the fourth.
09:30He sends one in the left field
09:32moving over to his left Ben
09:33Gamble.
09:34That's a one to three inning for
09:35Hunter Brown.
09:36We'll see if he's back for more
09:38as pitch counts at ninety seven
09:39if not that is six really good
09:42shutout innings for Hunter
09:43Brown retiring the last 70
09:45bases Astros searching for their
09:47first lead of this series.
09:49They are scoreless in the
09:49seventh and they have a good
09:51shot here with Victor Kerr
09:52teeny at the plate and the new
09:53pitcher is Tony Santiago on for
09:55the Reds and he's got first and
09:57third with one out in a
09:59scoreless game here in the
10:00seventh round and right side
10:02India De La Cruz on the first
10:04and double play and the Astros
10:07will be shut out through seven
10:09today.
10:10Hunter Brown went six
10:11scoreless.
10:12He retired the last seven in a
10:13row since the start of May the
10:15Astros bullpen has posted the
10:17second lowest ERA in the league
10:18behind only the Cleveland
10:19Guardians pen swung on hit well
10:21by France.
10:22There goes the left fielder
10:23looking back DuBois up and gone
10:26and a home run by Ty France
10:28breaks the zero zero tie and the
10:32Reds lead it one to nothing but
10:34one swing by Ty France puts the
10:36Reds up and it's a different
10:38this ballgame now the Astros
10:41sure glad Ty France is out of
10:42the division and he'll be glad
10:44to not see him again the rest of
10:46the year after today Astros came
10:49into this series rolling.
10:50They had just swept the Royals
10:52in a four game set at home and
10:54had won five in a row going back
10:56to a 10 nothing shutout of
10:57Philadelphia.
10:58The Cincinnati Reds are an out
10:59away from sweeping this series.
11:03Houston not a problem for the
11:05Reds.
11:05Cincinnati sweeps the throws for
11:08a third straight time as the
11:10Astros still struggling to find
11:14a way to beat the Reds in
11:15Cincinnati or elsewhere.
