00:00From Citizens Bank Park, tonight it's the opening game of a three-game series as the
00:06Philadelphia Phillies return home to take on the American League's Tampa Bay Rays.
00:12On the mound today for the Phillies will be left-hander Christopher Sanchez.
00:16He'll be looking for his 11th win of the season.
00:19Yandy Diaz will lead things off for the Rays.
00:23That's going to be sharply hit through the hole to the right of Turner between short
00:27and third and Yandy stays hot on the road.
00:31And the Rays have the leadoff batter aboard and Dylan Carlson is coming up.
00:35Fly ball right center field.
00:37It's not deep.
00:38Playable for Castellanos who comes running in.
00:41Nick reels it in for the first down.
00:43Sanchez making his second start against his old team.
00:46Johnny DeLuca is one offensive player who's been clicking of late.
00:50Swing and a miss.
00:51Got it.
00:52Here's the great changeup.
00:53Yep.
00:54Man, is that a good one.
00:55A moderate first Diaz after his leadoff single and two out.
00:58Here is Comanero.
00:59Stott shaded straight up the middle with two outs of the pitch.
01:02Hit right at Bryson Stott.
01:04Charges in.
01:05Gloves it.
01:06Steps on second.
01:07Side's retired.
01:08Now runs on a hit.
01:10One left by the Rays.
01:11Well, the Rays will be going with an opener tonight and that will be in the form of Cole
01:15Solcer.
01:16You better be ready for Kyle Schwarber.
01:17He's got 13 leadoff homers this season.
01:19How about that?
01:20Schwarber slowly grounds one to second base.
01:23Able to wait for it as Caballero on a little flip to Yandy Diaz.
01:26For the first down, getting Schwarber to hit it on the ground is a good step in the right
01:29direction for the Rays pitchers.
01:31One out, nobody on.
01:32Here is Trey Turner.
01:33Hit hard towards second.
01:34There's Caballero playing almost up the middle.
01:37Went to his left and picks it up.
01:38Throws him out.
01:39Two down.
01:40And maybe now's the time for Bryce Harper to end his homerun drought.
01:44Tonight.
01:45Now.
01:46Sometime.
01:47And that one missed.
01:48Down and away.
01:49Went for this changeup.
01:50Harper lays off and redraws a two-out walk.
01:53As Castellanos faces Cole Solcer, the three-two is way outside.
01:57Ball four.
01:58So now back-to-back walks with two outs.
02:01One thing the Phillies did with the regularity on the road trip was score early.
02:05And they've got a chance to do the same here with their hottest hitter at the plate, Bryson
02:09Stott.
02:10Runners go.
02:11The two-two pitch.
02:12Lined to first and scooped beautifully by Yandy Diaz.
02:14Played off to the side.
02:15He goes to the bag.
02:16And the side is retired.
02:18Cole Solcer needed nearly 30 pitches to get through the first, so Tyler Alexander out
02:22for the second.
02:2320th appearance of the year for Tyler Alexander, and his issue especially lately has been keeping
02:27the ball in the ballpark.
02:28Two out.
02:29No one on.
02:30Here is Johan Rojas.
02:31Rojas chops one out to Walls.
02:32It's short to his left.
02:33No, it's Caballero behind him, throwing in the dirt and backhanded out of there.
02:38Clean lead by Diaz to retire the speed of Johan Rojas.
02:41Three up, three down.
02:42Through two in Philly.
02:43Go to the bottom of the third inning.
02:44Scoreless ballgame.
02:45Phil's still looking for their first hit.
02:47Tyler Alexander back to work.
02:49Two out.
02:50Base is empty for Trey Turner.
02:51Swing and a pop-up.
02:52Right near the second base bag.
02:54Taylor Walls the shortstop.
02:55The call and the grab.
02:56And that is six up and six down for Tyler Alexander.
02:59Now we go to the fourth inning.
03:01Still no score.
03:02Rays have the game's only two hits.
03:03That will bring up the second baseman, Jose Caballero.
03:06Ground ball.
03:07Headed up the middle.
03:08There's a base hit.
03:09Into center field.
03:10Caballero, a big turn there at first.
03:11And he will hang on.
03:13Again, a single base runner in each inning so far for the Rays.
03:14That will bring up Christopher Morel.
03:15The one-two on the way.
03:16Swing and a miss.
03:17Struck him out.
03:18And Morel's down on strike.
03:19Second strikeout for Sanchez.
03:20Two gone.
03:21Here's Taylor Walls.
03:22Swing and a ground ball.
03:23Right at the shortstop.
03:24Turner has it.
03:25Sides retire.
03:26No runs.
03:27A hit.
03:28Here's Bryson Stott.
03:29Lefty on lefty.
03:30The only guy that Alexander has yet to face.
03:31Phillies don't have a hit yet.
03:32Swing and a ground ball.
03:33Right at the shortstop.
03:34Turner has it.
03:35Sides retire.
03:36No runs.
03:37A hit.
03:38Here's Bryson Stott.
03:39Lefty on lefty.
03:40The only guy that Alexander has yet to face.
03:41Phillies don't have a hit yet.
03:42Swing and a ground ball.
03:43Hit off the end of the bat.
03:44Right to second.
03:45The one-knee to field is Caballero.
03:46On to first to get Stott.
03:47And that is nine up, nine down for Alexander in relief for the opener.
03:51A bit of work, but.
03:520-2 pitch.
03:530-2 pitch.
03:54Line drive.
03:55Right center field.
03:56Castellanos to his right.
03:57But it gets in front of him.
03:58A base hit.
03:59On 0-2.
04:00Another hit by the Rays against Sanchez.
04:01It's Dylan Carlson.
04:02The batter.
04:03He had a base hit his last time up.
04:04No score.
04:05Fifth inning.
04:06Wing and a miss.
04:07Got him.
04:08Change up.
04:09And Carlson is down on strikes.
04:10And the Rays.
04:11Strand.
04:12Another one.
04:13Phillies without a hit.
04:14Through the first four innings tonight.
04:15Marsh leads off.
04:16Looking at Roller.
04:17It goes wide of the bag at first.
04:18Underhanding.
04:19He has.
04:20Over Alexander who drops the base.
04:21And still got him out.
04:22He dropped the baseball.
04:23But John Lipka said that he picked it up in time to get the out.
04:24I'm not so sure that he did.
04:25But we'll see if Philly wants to review and they do.
04:26Oh.
04:27And now that I see it again.
04:28I think he's out.
04:29Yep.
04:30About 100 percent.
04:31I think he swiped it.
04:32When the right spike was still on the base.
04:33After a few.
04:34The call on the field.
04:35Confirmed.
04:36The runner is out.
04:37Philadelphia will lose their challenge.
04:38Went out in the Rays favor.
04:39Two up.
04:40Two down.
04:41And.
04:42Had to leave it for Johan Rojas.
04:43Swing and a miss.
04:44He struck him out to retire the side.
04:45Don't look now.
04:46The Phillies don't have a hit through five.
04:47On we go to the six in Philadelphia.
04:48The Rays and the Phillies are scoreless.
04:49Alexander has allowed 22 home runs.
04:50So far this year.
04:51And the Rays.
04:52And the Rays.
04:53And the Rays.
04:54And the Rays.
04:55And the Rays.
04:56And the Rays.
04:57And the Rays.
04:58And the Rays.
04:59And the Rays.
05:00And the Rays.
05:01And the Rays.

05:23And the Rays.
05:24And the Rays.
05:25And the Rays.
05:26And the Rays.
05:27And the Rays.
05:28One nothing fills.
05:30Four hundred forty seven feet
05:32And then some.
05:33Now that will work
05:35And that unfortunately is going
05:36to be for Tyler Alexander too
05:37What a
05:38Tough moment to leave on
05:39The Phillies have one hit
05:41But he was hit 450 feet nearly
05:43At one thirteen off the bat
05:44by Kyle Schwarber
05:45So Philadelphia one nothing lead
05:47Now in the sixth
05:48One out Kevin Kelly to face
05:49Trey Turner
05:50To the right side
05:51There's the base hit
05:52It's the second hit
05:53for the Phillies
05:54The first one to home run
05:56And down to single to right field
05:58They come in bunches talk that
06:00he's have a one nothing lead and
06:01here's Harper double play ball
06:03maybe the second picked up by a
06:04Caballero to Walsh one throw to
06:05first double play side retired
06:08and Kevin Kelly allows the
06:10single and gets the double play
06:11on Harper who is a back to back
06:13walks in the first inning with
06:14two outs and they do so to start
06:17this inning and I think the
06:18Phillies are going to go to
06:19their bench here and pinch hit
06:21Weston Wilson and a ground ball
06:24shortstop Walsh Caballero won
06:27to the first they get the
06:28double play and boy that is a
06:31big double play Castellanos goes
06:33to third he's there with two
06:35gone left on left man a third
06:37two out swing and a miss high
06:39fastball got him Montgomery
06:41bounces back from two walks to
06:42throw a scoreless seventh
06:43inning and the Rays still in
06:45striking distance we only run
06:47the home run by Kyle Schwab or
06:49in the sixth inning Carlos
06:51Estevez out of the bullpen for
06:53Philadelphia and so we'll see
06:54what the Rays have in store for
06:57down to their last shot.
06:58Brandon Lowe is going to hit for
07:00the first time on this road
07:01trip and he'll come up against
07:02Estevez to start the ninth
07:04inning and here to hopefully
07:05bring us a comeback and a
07:06winner and a high shot back into
07:08center field Rojas is going to
07:10go to the wall and that one is
07:13caught by the four.
07:16No that ball dropped over.
07:19He went up to try to grab that
07:21one back in that corner and it
07:23got away.
07:24How about that from Brandon Lowe.
07:27Oh my goodness.
07:29Brandon Lowe off the bench and
07:32on the second pitch hits it out
07:35to center Rojas right where the
07:38short wall meets the high wall.
07:40He caught it ran into the fence
07:43and the fence jarred the ball
07:45loose out of his glove.
07:48And this game is tied one one
07:50left hander Garrett Clevenger
07:53on the mound and he's going to
07:54face Bryce Harper.
07:58And it's over the head of
07:59rightfielder off the wall.
08:01Harper didn't run.
08:03So he's only going to get a
08:04single out of it.
08:05That's inexcusable.
08:07He can't sit and watch.
08:08Yeah.
08:10When you're division to get a
08:11first round by you you can't do
08:13that and that'll leave it in the
08:14hands of Bryson Scott.
08:16Swing and a high chop on the
08:17infield past the mound.
08:19It'll be glove by Walsh.
08:20He's going to first he's late
08:21Scott legs out the infield hit
08:23Cal Stephenson is called back
08:26and the Phillies are going to
08:27pinch hit for Stephenson with
08:28Buddy Kennedy.
08:30Three balls two strikes the
08:31runners will be on.
08:36And now you bring up the kid
08:37that rakes in Cody Clemens
08:40everybody standing all the way
08:41around including in the bullpen
08:44Clevenger is ready.
08:45So is Clemens.
08:46Why try Bichette Dreyfus.
08:48The Philz will win the game.
08:51Cody Clemens can rake he wins in
08:54two to one here in the bottom of
08:56the ninth inning.
08:58Bryce Harper scores and the
09:00celebration is underway.
09:04It's his second career walk off
09:06hit.
