00:01As Devers will be making his debut tonight for the San Francisco Giants.
00:05Acquired Sunday from Boston, the 28-year-old has eight years,
00:09more than $250 million remaining on his contract.
00:20I'm here to give my 100%. I don't put any buts.
00:24They're the men in charge. I am here to play whatever they want me to play.
00:27I have to think from Devers' perspective, there was frustration there with Boston.
00:31He's now in an organization that is just thrilled to have him.
00:34Difference maker in the NL West.
00:36On the Hill tonight for the Giants will be the left-handed veteran Robbie Ray
00:39in his 11th year at the big league level.
00:41He's 33 years of age, 6'2", 210 pounds.
00:44This is what he has done in 14 starts this year.
00:468-1 with a 2-5-5 ERA.
00:48And he lifts his first one out into center field for Jung-Hoo Lee.
00:52And that's how this game gets started.
00:54Swing and there's a high pop-up.
00:56Shallow right field angling quickly out is the second baseman.
00:59And Fitzgerald gives way to the right fielder, Yuskremski, who makes the catch.
01:04And another pop-up.
01:05Jung-Hoo Lee side retired in a 1-2-3 inning for Robbie Ray.
01:09Giants are coming up.
01:10Take a look at Slade Ciccone.
01:12I mean, you forget, he's still a very inexperienced pitcher at the big league level.
01:17So we're learning more about him every time he goes out there.
01:20Slade with a 3-2.
01:21And it's just off the outside corner.
01:24A leadoff walk to start the night for the Giants.
01:26Taps slowly.
01:27Third base side of the mound.
01:29Ciccone's on it.
01:30Throws.
01:31Got him at first.
01:32Standing ovation here at Oracle Park for the newest Giants.
01:36He's just energized this whole community right here.
01:39The baseball team.
01:40The fans.
01:41Everything.
01:42Swing.
01:43And a miss.
01:44Strike three.
01:45Locked him up inside.
01:46Went inside.
01:47Then he went upstairs.
01:4896 above the zone.
01:49Changed the eye level.
01:51Ooh.
01:52Ramos got clunked right on the elbow.
01:54And even though he's got a wrist guard, he does not have an elbow pad.
01:58Ciccone trying to wiggle out of a tight spot.
02:00And Dominic Smith, who's been a revelation for this ball club, will come to the plate.
02:04Get up the middle.
02:05There's a base hit.
02:06Here comes Lee.
02:07Ramos is going to go to third.
02:091-0 Giants.
02:10So, Dom Smith comes through in the clutch.
02:13A two out.
02:14Base hit.
02:151-0 Giants.
02:16Bottom third of the Guardians lineup due in against Robbie Ray.
02:20There's a ball hit well.
02:21Right center field.
02:22That's in triples alley.
02:23Jonathan Rodriguez racing into second base.
02:26Will he go for three?
02:27He's going to turn and burn.
02:28And he's going to make it easily.
02:30It's a stand up.
02:31Lead off triple for J-Rod.
02:34And Austin Hedges at the plate.
02:35Trying to get Rodriguez home from third and tie the game.
02:38And he hits one high in the air to left field.
02:41Plenty deep enough.
02:42Ramos back on the track.
02:44Pulls it down.
02:45And here comes Rodriguez to tie the game at one.
02:48Great job by Austin Hedges.
02:50Down low and outside.
02:52Ball four.
02:53Quan draws a walk and the inning continues for the Guardians.
02:572-2.
02:58Ground ball to short.
02:59Adamas.
03:00He fumbled the ball.
03:01And everybody's safe.
03:03He picked his head up.
03:04Probably trying to figure out how much time he had to get Lane Thomas,
03:07who gets down the line in a hurry.
03:09Lane Thomas reaching.
03:10And that means you've got to face the best hitter on the Guardians,
03:13Jose Ramirez.
03:14On the ground to third and scooped up by Casey Schmidt.
03:17His throw to first is right there in time.
03:19Side retired as Robbie Ray pitches through the air.
03:22Adamas takes ball four.
03:24So he walks in front of Devers.
03:26Outstanding ovations.
03:27Four times he stepped into the batter's box tonight.
03:29He gets a base hit.
03:30This place is going to go crazy.
03:32And he drives one out towards right center field.
03:34Into the gap.
03:35It's going to go to the wall.
03:37Adamas coming around third.
03:39And he's going to round third.
03:41He'll score.
03:43Into second with a double.
03:45Devers has his first Giants hit.
03:48And it drives in a run to put the Giants ahead 2-1.
03:52And he just smoked it.
03:542-1.
03:55Giants lead it.
03:56Fourth inning.
03:57David Frye leads it off for Cleveland.
03:58Line drive.
03:59Left field.
04:00Over toward the line.
04:01It's going to get down.
04:02It goes by.
04:03Ramos into the corner.
04:04And David Frye's into second base.
04:06Thought about it.
04:07Had a notion.
04:08But then thought better of it.
04:10And wisely holds it second with a leadoff double.
04:13Second inning in a row for the Guardians.
04:15Getting an extra base hit.
04:17Out of the plate.
04:18Carlos Santana.
04:19There's a bouncing ball up the middle.
04:20And on through.
04:21A base hit into center field.
04:23That'll score Frye and tie this game at two.
04:26It's an RBI single for Carlos Santana.
04:292-2 ball game here in the fourth.
04:32Here's Yes.
04:33He swings at the first pitch.
04:34And lines went in the left.
04:35That's going to get down base hit.
04:36Kwon will play it on a bounce.
04:38Kwon was playing way off the line.
04:40So Schmidt goes to second and stops there.
04:42He squares.
04:43He bumps.
04:44Jose on the move.
04:45Only playing first.
04:46One down.
04:47Both base runners move up on the sack bunt by Fitzgerald.
04:51Pops it up behind the plate.
04:53Under it is Hedges.
04:55And he makes the catch about halfway back to the screen.
04:59That's a big out to get right there.
05:02Off the end of the bat.
05:03Arias has to hurry.
05:04He unloads and a perfect throw.
05:06Gets him to retire the side.
05:08And the Giants squander a golden opportunity to take the lead.
05:12So one down.
05:13And that brings up Gabriel Arias who's 0-2 with a pair of strikeouts.
05:17Arias trying to go the other way.
05:19Deep right center field.
05:20Lee's on the run.
05:21He's on the track at the wall.
05:22It is gone.
05:23A home run.
05:24Arias blasts one to the opposite field.
05:28And he hit it out to put the Guardians on top for the first time tonight.
05:333-2.
05:34Yaz with a single in the fourth.
05:36To the opposite field.
05:37And he bloops one back in third.
05:38Along the left field line.
05:39That's falling.
05:40In there.
05:41Base hit.
05:42Right over along the line.
05:43Yaz is going to try for two.
05:44The ball fielder by Kwon.
05:45The throw to second base is way off line.
05:47And a diving grab of it.
05:49So Yaz bloops it for his 13th double of the year.
05:52And now he's in scoring position.
05:54Representing the possible tying run.
05:56He went that done.
05:57Perfectly executed breaking ball right there.
05:59All right.
06:00Here's the first big move in the game.
06:02Jet Johnson to bat for Andrew Kisner.
06:04And Stephen Vogt will go to Kate Smith.
06:06Payoff pitch.
06:07Swing.
06:08And a miss.
06:09Kate Smith strikes him off to end the inning.
06:11And the Giants strand the potential tying run in scoring position.
06:16Here in the last of the seven.
06:18Bounces it toward the middle.
06:19Going far to his right.
06:20Martinez has it on the backhand.
06:22His throw to first is not in time.
06:24Adamas beats it out.
06:26He's got his second hit.
06:28He's on base for the third time.
06:30Slow topper up the mat.
06:31First baseline.
06:32And Kane did a great job to get over.
06:34Adamas the tying run moves to second base.
06:36The Guardians are going to make a change.
06:38Hunter Gattis is coming on to pitch here in the seventh.
06:413-2 is outside ball four.
06:44And he flips that back to take the walk.
06:47Swing and a miss.
06:48He blew it by him.
06:49Kipped it on the outside corner.
06:51And strikes him out to end the inning.
06:53Back to back singles open the eighth inning.
06:55And the Giants have something going here.
06:58Trailing by a run in the eighth.
07:00Swung on.
07:01Line drive to left.
07:02Coming on Quan.
07:03Makes the catch.
07:04Throws back to second.
07:06Double play.
07:07Schmidt was off the bag.
07:10And Quan threw him out.
07:12Two down.
07:13Arias at third.
07:14The hitter is Angel Martinez.
07:17High fly ball along the left field line.
07:20Medium over at the foul line.
07:22It's caught by Ramos.
07:23Here's the tag up.
07:24Here's the long throw to the plate.
07:25The tag.
07:26And he is pulled out.
07:28Arias with a feet first fade away slide.
07:31And Ramos.
07:32He kind of got up behind the ball a little bit.
07:35To catch it.
07:36With a little forward momentum going.
07:38And made the throw all the way to the plate.
07:40Now we go to the ninth.
07:41Emmanuel Klase trying to close out San Francisco.
07:45Line drive.
07:46There's a base hit.
07:47Well you can't make this up.
07:48Raphael Devers will come to the plate.
07:50With the game on the line in the ninth inning.
07:52Base hit.
07:53But now the possible tying run is in scoring position.
07:55And Elliott Ramos will come up.
07:57With two men on it.
07:58Down low.
07:59Ball four.
08:01The bases are loaded.
08:03With one out.
08:04Left handed hitting.
08:05Dominic Smith steps in.
08:07Swung on.
08:08And there's a fly ball to left.
08:09Quan circling under it.
08:11Makes the catch.
08:12As the tying run fails to try and score.
08:14Look at this.
08:15They're not going to challenge the arm of Stephen Quatt.
08:18And so the bases remain loaded with two down.
08:21The Giants leave the bases loaded in the bottom of the ninth.
08:24There will be no fairy tale on opening night for Raphael Devers in a Giants uniform.
08:31Here we go.
08:32Come on out else.
08:33I'm going to make наг MARCE.

08:35Come watch the Ravens move.
08:36Here we go.
