00:12Throughout the season, Mason has made a commitment to direct outreach to children living with
00:17type 1 diabetes, meeting with them on the field and discussing how to balance their
00:22diagnosis with sports.
00:24Congratulations, Mason.
00:26And thank you, Dave.
00:27Joey Estes on the hill for the athletics, and we'll get into the season for Joey Estes
00:32because really it's the tale of two seasons when you start to divide how things have gone
00:36for the young man.
00:3720th start of the season.
00:40Pitch on the way, and it's inside, and it hits Victor in the back.
00:46Robley's taken off, slides into second base.
00:49This ball skims into center field now.
00:51The Mariners have a runner at third base right away.
00:56Second ball to first.
00:57Robles stays put, and Gray steps on the first base back for the first out.
01:02One on and one away.
01:03No score, and that'll bring up catcher Cal Raleigh.
01:05Cal now with 28 home runs on the season.
01:08Muscled, a mile high, a towering fly ball, and it is fair.
01:16It's a rainmaker for a day game for Cal Raleigh.
01:19What a mammoth blast all the way up to the second deck.
01:24It's his 29th home run this season.
01:27He has now tied his skipper, Dan Wilson, 19th all time in team history for Mariner home
01:34runs.
01:35Exit below 112 short of 400 feet, and the Mariners have a 2-0 lead here at the top of
01:42the first inning, and that was a towering blast just fair down the right field line.
01:48An Oakland native, Brian Wu, is up on the mound pitching for the Mariners today.
01:52Yeah, what a year he's had.
01:5317 starts for him, a 2-3 ERA.
01:56Lawrence Butler leads off for the A's.
01:58He is riding a 14 game hitting streak.
02:01There's a backhand at second base.
02:03Placco plays that well.
02:04There's that number one.
02:08Strike three called.
02:09He froze him on a breaking ball.
02:10That was a sweeper.
02:12And the 2-2 to Bleda, swing and a drive into the gap in right center field.
02:16Julio going back, and this one is caught by Julio.
02:20Near the fence toward right center field.
02:22Bleda, pretty good ride, but Julio is there, and that's it for the A's in the bottom of
02:27the first inning.
02:28How about that guy?
02:29You know who that is?
02:31The mauler.
02:32The Milwaukee mauler.
02:34Former pro wrestler and a massive A's fan.
02:40Reaches for this, shoots it out towards the gap in left center field.
02:42Bleda racing, diving, can't make the catch.
02:46The Mariners with some extra base power early on today.
02:49That's their third hit for extra bases.
02:51A homer and now two doubles.
02:53Mariners have another runner in scoring position.
02:55They've done that quite a few times in this series.
02:57Leo Rivas making his first start, and a good pitch strikes out Leo Rivas.
03:04Wrapping that slider right around the back foot of Rivas.
03:08Is out in front, hits a five ball to left center.
03:10Routine play for Seth Brown is right there, and he makes the catch.
03:14So the Mariners fail to score, and after one and a half, the Mariners lead the A's two
03:18nothing.
03:20When you put the hard hat on, there's about to be some construction done on the field.
03:23Talking about building innings, you think Mauler is not on board with that?
03:27He's lock and step.
03:28That's the foreman of offense right now, the Milwaukee mauler.
03:32Time to put the hammer to the nail.
03:34Three two to Brown, a line drive, base hit to right, and Seth Brown gets a board to start
03:38off the bottom of the second inning.
03:40Back to back punch outs with the heater for Brian Wu.
03:43There's Schumann, a right handed hitter.
03:45Schumann who's been hitless in his last three.
03:47Three two payoff pitch, and Schumann lines it into left for a base hit.
03:51Now runners on first and second with Tristan Gray coming up, who collected his first hit
03:57of the season last night.
03:58Now the stretch and the two two pitch, strike three called, got him looking.
04:01There's that fastball on the inside corner.
04:04Gray strikes out as Brian Wu strikes out the side here in the bottom of the second, and
04:09the athletics leave the two runners stranded.
04:12Julio going to start things here in the third.
04:15Julio starts things with a bang.
04:17That is blasted all the way up to the second deck.
04:21It just took a seat out.
04:23A majestic, breathtaking home run from Julio.
04:27That was a missile.
04:28For Julio, his 14th home run on the year.
04:30That's a pretty good exit velocity.
04:32111, just short of 450 feet.
04:35Wow.
04:3614 straight games worth of action off the barrel of the butler.
04:41Fastball grinded sharply up the middle, reaching to his right is Rivas.
04:44It's off his glove.
04:45Circles in the left.
04:46He was moving to second base as Wilson was making his break towards second.
04:51That'll be a base hit for a butler.
04:53Make it now a 15 game hitting streak for the A's wide fielder.
04:58Three two pitch, and that's grounded through for a hit.
05:02Wilson will be held up at third.
05:03The bases will load up for Seth Brown with just one out.
05:081-1 to center field.
05:11Rodriguez makes the catch.
05:13Wilson will tag.
05:15Everyone else will stay put.
05:16That brings home the first A's run.
05:18Another RBI for Seth Brown on the sacrifice fly to center, and the A's finally score a
05:24run against Brian Wu.
05:27Mariners lead the A's by a score of three to one.
05:30Robles hit by a pitch, scored a run to the first.
05:32He's flat out to Brown and Lipp.
05:36One hopper over to Wilson.
05:38The rookie shortstop, and it's not in time.
05:40Robles calls himself safe, and he is.
05:43Wilson took his time on that.
05:45He took a couple extra steps that he didn't need to.
05:47He has a strong throwing arm, but Robles can get down the line.
05:52Robles takes off.
05:53This ball is hit hard over to third base on the ground, and Schumann can't handle it.
05:57Robles is racing into third, and he gets in there standing.
06:02Robles was taking off on the pitch and just kept on running.
06:05Joey Estes gives four plus innings, but Marc Katze will go to the bullpen.
06:10Cal a home run already today.
06:12That was from the other side of the plate.
06:14Now batting right-handed against the lefty.
06:19Plenty deep out to right field.
06:20Lawrence Butler is there.
06:22There's out number one.
06:23Robles comes home to score.
06:25An aggressive brace running for Victor Robles pays off for the Mariners.
06:29It's a sacrifice fly by Cal Raleigh.
06:31Now the Mariners get that run back.
06:32It's four to one.
06:33Now the two-two.
06:34D'Aurelie swinging a fly ball into the gap in the right center field, and deep going
06:38back.
06:39Bledet to the one.
06:40He tracked near the wall.
06:41Leaps up, and it's off his glove.
06:42Julio running second.
06:43Heading for third.
06:44Raleigh in at second.
06:45J.J.
06:46Bledet had a chance for that ball, and he missed it.
06:47Looks like they're putting Turner on.
06:48So loading the bases here and setting up a chance for a double play for Palenko.
06:49Here's the 1-0 pitch on the way, and that's swung on a ground ball to short.
06:50Wilson's got to flip the second one.
06:51Relay to first.
06:52He has got the double play.
06:53Even playing in, that ball was crisply hit.
06:54He has turned the 6-4-3, and they stay in the game.
06:55Fifty-one game to go.
06:56Now the Mariners get the double play.
06:57It's a sacrifice fly by Cal Raleigh.
06:58Now the two-two.
06:59D'Aurelie swinging a fly ball into the gap in the right center field.
07:00He'll hit it to deep left.
07:01Robles going back.
07:02He looks up.
07:03And right on cue, Brett Rooker gets his 34th home run of the year.
07:04Just over the line.
07:05And he's got it.
07:06He's got it.
07:07He's got it.
07:08He's got it.
07:09He's got it.
07:10He's got it.
07:11He's got it.
07:12He's got it.
07:13He's got it.
07:14He's got it.
07:15He's got it.
07:16He's got it.
07:17He's got it.
07:18He's got it.
07:19He's got it.
07:20He's got it.
07:21He's got it.
07:22He's got it.
07:23He's got it.
07:24He's got it.
07:25He's got it.
07:26He's got it.
07:27He's got it.
07:28He's got it.
07:29He's got it.
07:30And it's in!
07:31Just over the left field score board.
07:32And now, it's 4 to 2, Mariners.
07:36As Rooker finally figured Woo out with a solo blast.
07:41Extends his hitting streak to 9 games now.
07:44And the A's produce a little bit of noise in the bottom of the 5th.
07:47And here is Victor Robles.
07:49Victor Robles, Vince, has impacted this game with his legs.
07:53He lost his elbow guard.
07:55The ball made contact with the elbow guard.
07:57elbow guard and then the elbow
07:59guard falls off.
08:01Well and now Katsy is he saying
08:03that he leaned into that.
08:06This escalated fast.
08:09Well this is Mark Katsy asking
08:11are you sure what's this on.
08:13Go ahead and keep it rolling
08:14Todd.
08:14We're good to go.
08:15A little bit of sass a little
08:17bit.
08:18Holman trying to get out of it
08:20unscathed does have runners on
08:21first and second but two outs in
08:23a four to two game swing on
08:25lifted to right.
08:26This could be trouble deep in
08:28the corner long run for Butler
08:29right down the line and he makes
08:30the catch.
08:31Fair ball is just shy of the
08:33foul ball about one step from
08:35the wall.
08:36Good play by Butler Julio flies
08:38out.
08:39So now the Mariners have runners
08:40at first and second with two
08:42outs looking to add on to that
08:44four to lead here in the top of
08:45the eighth inning with Julio
08:46Rodriguez aboard.
08:48Now there's a base open.
08:49It's third in the pitch to Julio
08:51is right through McCann back to
08:52the screen to play a third maybe
08:54the throw the tag out at third.
08:56He's got to break the ball kick
08:58back from the bottom of the
08:59backstop right to McCann.
09:02It's Ernie with the ball to
09:04third on the bag with Schumann
09:06and Rebus is out trying to
09:08advance on what he thought for
09:09sure would be a wild pitch one
09:11on one away.
09:12And that'll bring up Luke
09:13Braley.
09:14Would love to add an insurance
09:15run here in the ninth.
09:17He shoots this out to center
09:18field Bleda showing his numbers
09:21looking into the sun at the wall
09:23and it's gone.
09:24There's some insurance for you.
09:26Ninth inning home run to
09:28straightaway center field third
09:30hit today for Luke Braley all
09:32for extra bases and the
09:34breathing room the Mariners
09:35crave here in the ninth and six
09:37to two Andre Munoz is on to get
09:39the final three outs he will
09:40face eight nine and one days to
09:43get a base runner in the night
09:44but still down by four you're
09:45going to need a little bit more
09:46than that.
09:50Get this one in the air to
09:51center Julio Rodriguez going
09:52back fighting the sun at the
09:54wall.
09:55It's gone.
09:56So a towering blast for Brent
09:58Rooker his second home run of
10:00the game his thirty fifth of the
10:03year and at one point that
10:05would have tied it at four to
10:06four but the two runs in the top
10:09of the ninth for the Mariners I
10:11think they're very thankful they
10:13were able to get that on a very
10:14similar looking home run from
10:16Luke Braley six career multi
10:18homer game for Brent Rooker.
10:20Great to see the A's still
10:21fighting with two outs and he
10:24turns around that's the ball
10:25game the Mariners win it today
10:27they split the series and most
10:29importantly the Mariners move
10:30within four and a half of the
10:31Astros.
