00:00Tonight, Cleveland has a chance to win the season series against Cincinnati and keep
00:08alive a very small hope of catching the Yankees.
00:10Yeah, a lot checked off the postseason checklist, if you will, and getting the top two seed
00:15last night.
00:16We know now that a week from Saturday, game one of that league division series will be
00:20here at Progressive Field.
00:21Joey Cantillo, Arch, was scheduled to start tonight's game.
00:24He's a healthy scratch.
00:25They're going to pitch him on the side, get him ready for October.
00:28And so they'll go with an opener, and Andrew Walters has been nothing short of amazing
00:32since we've seen him come up.
00:33Fly ball left field.
00:34Pretty well hit, but Steven Kwan, drifting back, makes the catch.
00:38They're just checking you already, Kwan.
00:40They want to make sure you're ready to go.
00:42That will bring up Elie De La Cruz.
00:45Leads the majors in stolen bases, but amazingly, he also leads the National League with 200
00:50points.
00:51He leads all of baseball with 212 strikeouts.
00:54Now the pitch swung on a ground ball, headed to second.
00:57Andres Jimenez throws out De La Cruz, two down, no score in the first.
01:01Here's Tyler Stevenson, good young catcher.
01:04Swung on, popped him up, playable.
01:06First baseman Josh Naylor will retire Tyler Stevenson.
01:10Andrew Walters, he still has it going, still hasn't given up a hit in his major league
01:15career.
01:16Starting pitcher, Jacob Jonas, he's made, what was it, 15 starts against the Guardians
01:22in his career.
01:23He is 5-13.
01:24It's his fifth start with Cincinnati, his sixth on the season.
01:29Steven Kwan back in the lineup for Cleveland, coming off the injured list today.
01:33And it's swung in and ripped!
01:34Deep right field!
01:35Gone!
01:36How about that return?
01:37Steven Kwan off the injured list with a bullet to right.
01:38And it's 1-0 Cleveland.
01:39You don't think they missed that guy at the top of the order?
01:52Steven Kwan is a difference maker.
01:54His 14th home run and 44 RBIs, it's his third home run this year to lead off a ballgame.
02:02Spencer Steer will stand in to lead off the Reds' second inning.
02:06Swung on, hit high in the air, deep left center.
02:09Kwan is back, he gives way to Thomas, jumps and makes the catch at the wall in deep left
02:15center.
02:16Spencer Steer almost got it off the 19-foot wall.
02:20But Lane Thomas was right there.
02:22And that will bring up Ty France, the right-handed hitting first baseman, the long-time Seattle
02:28Mariner.
02:29Pops this up on the infield.
02:30Jimenez, the second baseman.
02:31Two down.
02:32Andrew Walters has hit the 20-pitch mark, and that will be the end of his outing tonight.
02:40He goes in, hitting in two thirds.
02:42Perfect.
02:43Five up, five down.
02:45Really good job, once again, by Andrew Walters.
02:47Ball to the bullpen for the big Cebrowski.
02:50He's here, yes indeed.
02:51Big left-hander's done a nice job.
02:53He has quickly made a name for himself in that bullpen.
02:56Swung on a weak bouncer to second.
02:57Jimenez will throw out Frehley.
02:59Cincinnati hitters 0 for their last 23, dating back to the series opener yesterday.
03:05Second inning of work for Eric Cebrowski.
03:08Now the pitch, checked on a pitch away.
03:10Did he go?
03:11Yes, on the appeal.
03:13Espinal strikes out the first for Cebrowski.
03:16Down now for Noel de Marte.
03:18Tried to hold up, but he went back-to-back strikeouts for Cebrowski.
03:23He's been razor sharp with his efficiency.
03:2512 out of 15 pitches have been strikes.
03:28The pitch, swing and a miss.
03:29Got him at 94 miles an hour on the heater.
03:32What a job by Cebrowski, striking out the side.
03:35Guardians go back to the bullpen.
03:37This time it's Cade Smith.
03:3973rd appearance on the year.
03:41He's 6-1 with a 196 ERA.
03:43That's hit pretty well.
03:44Deep left field claw, and going back.
03:46He's got room, runs it down, one away.
03:48Elie De La Cruz at the plate.
03:50And he just struck out Elie De La Cruz with a high fastball.
03:54De La Cruz down on strikes.
03:55Two quick outs for Smith.
03:57And Tyler Stevenson will give it a try.
04:00Ring him up.
04:01Another dominant outing by the big right-hander.
04:04Jose Ramirez, who bounced a second his first time up.
04:07What a year it has been for Ramirez.
04:09Uh-oh.
04:10Deep right field, frailly back, looking up, off the wall.
04:15Jose can run.
04:17He's at route second.
04:18He's going to turn and burn for three.
04:20The throw is not in time.
04:23It's a stand-up triple.
04:25His second of the year for Jose Ramirez.
04:28Oh, boy, you get that close, it's got to go over.
04:31It's going to be the most unhappy triple
04:33he's had in his whole career.
04:34And the Guardians have a runner at third now
04:36with less than two down.
04:38Josh Naylor, the batter.
04:40Josh Naylor with a base hit left field.
04:41Bring him home.
04:43Jose scores, 2-0 Cleveland.
04:45RBI number 108 for Josh Naylor.
04:48Well, that's a nice piece of hitting there by Josh.
04:51Infield in, just take it the other way.
04:53An easy RBI.
04:54And Eli Morgan on the pitch now for Cleveland.
04:573-0 with an ERA of 1.60.
05:0130 appearances.
05:03Off the end of the bat, got him with the change-up.
05:07On the front foot, one down.
05:09Ty France popped up on the infield in the second inning.
05:13Swung on, a chopper to short.
05:15Right there is Roque O'Fields and fires in time for the out.
05:19And the beat goes on for Guardians pitchers.
05:22Swung on, and that's looped to the third baseman,
05:25Ramirez, who makes the catch of that little humpback liner.
05:28And the side is retired 15 in a row,
05:31retired by four Guardians relievers.
05:34It's been a bullpen game for Cleveland.
05:36Andrew Walters, Eric Sabrowski, Cade Smith, Eli Morgan.
05:39They have dominated Cincinnati through five innings.
05:43Eli worked a one, two, three, fifth.
05:45He'll stay on, chopped the third.
05:47Tough play for Ramirez.
05:48Long throw, on the money.
05:50Made it look easy.
05:51No hill for a climber.
05:53He just got over, got his feet set,
05:55just flipped it to first.
05:56Very nice play.
05:5816 up, 16 down.
06:00Espinal out number one.
06:01Waved at the fastball up and away.
06:04Morgan strikes out Marte.
06:0630 in a row.
06:07Going back to last night, retired by Cleveland pitching.
06:11There it is.
06:11Make that to go.
06:13Ring him up.
06:14Six perfect innings by this Cleveland bullpen.
06:17Two down for Jose Ramirez,
06:18who barely missed his 38th homer
06:21when he tripled off the wall in right center.
06:23There's another one.
06:24Down the right field.
06:25There's another one.
06:26And it's gonna get down.
06:27Fraley cuts it off.
06:28He's not stopping.
06:29Jose's going for two.
06:30He's in there safely.
06:32He's got a double.
06:33That's number 38.
06:35As soon as it left his bat,
06:37I knew he was gonna be on second base
06:39because he does not stop.
06:40And I mean, that's just flat out pure hustle.
06:44Here's Josh Naylor.
06:45One for two in RBI single.
06:47Swing and a miss.
06:48Naylor's down on strikes.
06:49He chased one about a foot out of the zone there,
06:51but he is down on strikes.
06:54And the inning is over.
06:56This has been a special night for Cleveland pitching.
06:59No doubt.
07:00I mean, you wanna talk about efficiency, man.
07:0218 batters they've faced.
07:04Little bunt attempt.
07:05Heron grabs it, fires it.
07:07Not in time.
07:08And that'll be the first hit of the night.
07:09And listen to the boos.
07:12Well, I'll tell you what.
07:13It's still a ball game.
07:14That's not a bad idea.
07:16And he laid down a dandy.
07:17Picked the first base.
07:18He threw it away.
07:20It'll ricochet off the netting over by the camera well
07:24along the first base dugout.
07:26That's just a bad throw, man.
07:28You talk about holding onto it.
07:30Yeah, we're just sitting out there.
07:31And now all of a sudden,
07:32you put a little pressure on the defense
07:34and it happened.
07:36Grounded up the middle.
07:37Straight up handled by Jimenez.
07:39And this throw skips away.
07:41Friedel never breaks stride.
07:42He scores.
07:44Friedel read it all the way
07:45and continued to rip around third.
07:47The Reds are on the board.
07:48It's a one-run game.
07:50Well, the Reds playing small ball
07:51in small caps right here.
07:53Little ground ball up the middle.
07:55Nice placement defensively by Jimenez,
07:57but he doesn't get the throw to first base.
07:59And when Naylor doesn't pick it,
08:01TJ Friedel takes the opportunity to scamper on in.
08:04That's Fraley's 19th double of the year.
08:07There's your runner in scoring position.
08:09Now we'll see if the bottom of the order
08:10can bring him around.
08:11You've got a pretty good contact hitter
08:12at the plate right now in Santiago Espinal.
08:15Espinal smacked to center.
08:18Stop sign and third ball booted by Thomas.
08:20Now they send him and there's no play.
08:23Thomas muffs the ball in shallow center
08:26and the Reds tie it at two.
08:28Fraley was stopped by Colin Cowgill initially at third.
08:33And then when Thomas had trouble with it,
08:35he was waved on home and he scores easily.
08:38It'll be an error on Thomas in center field
08:40after the single by Santiago Espinal.
08:43Third Cleveland error in the last two innings.
08:45And so Espinal stops at second.
08:48Marte is on at first.
08:49Third straight hit off Hunter Gattis.
08:51Lets it fly.
08:52Pitch swung on, double play ball to short.
08:55Roque at a second one.
08:56Jimenez turns the ending, ending double play.
08:59Reds get a run to tie it up at two here in the eighth.
09:03So you got back to back two out hits.
09:05Brings up Jose Ramirez.
09:07He's tripled and doubled two for three.
09:09Swung on, hit high, hit deep to right.
09:13Away back into the second deck.
09:18Jose Ramirez with a two out, three run home run.
09:24And the Guardians have a five to two lead.
09:30Wow, that was an absolute missile
09:33off the bat of Jose Ramirez.
09:35Little upset from that fourth inning triple.
09:37He took it all out on that swing right there
09:39and put a three pointer on the board.
09:42Doesn't get any better than that.
09:43Boy, we haven't seen this all year.
09:45First three Reds get on base.
09:47Here comes pitching coach Carl Willis.
09:49As the Reds have loaded the bases
09:52with nobody out in the ninth.
09:54Fly drive, caught, throw to second,
09:56and safe is the call there.
09:59Jimenez immediately pointed to the dugout.
10:01He got back in time.
10:02Yeah, he did get back in time, but it was close.
10:05One down, bases loaded.
10:07Here's Ty France, 0 for three.
10:09Righty, righty matchup.
10:10He comes right back in on three pitches.
10:14Strikes out France, two down.
10:16Reds down to their last out.
10:19Two down, bases still loaded.
10:21Cleveland still up five to two.
10:23Here's Jake Fraley, one for three with a double.
10:26Liner, Ramirez, book it.
10:30Klasse, number 47.
10:32He is the new franchise record holder
10:35for saves in a single season.
10:38And the last one came with a little drama.
10:41And Cleveland keeps alive its hopes
10:44for the number one seed in the American League.
