00:01Fourth of July weekend kicking off right here in West Sacramento.

00:05This will be the first time that these two teams will play here in Sacramento.

00:09Well, the Giants have won two straight.

00:11They win the last two games in Arizona.

00:13The real story, Mike, is we've heard the old expression win-win for the Gipper.

00:16Well, around here it's win-win for Verlander.

00:18He does not have a win.

00:20It's the third straight Fourth of July that J.P. Sears has taken the baseball.

00:25On the bump, and the last two starts on Fourth of July, the A's victorious.

00:30Dan Ramos would lead it off for the Giants.

00:33High drive, right center field, but it's in the park.

00:37And on the warning track is Clark, and he makes the catch.

00:40So here's Willie Adamas.

00:42Had a nice ball game last night in the desert.

00:45Here's the 3-2, and strike three.

00:48J.P. getting it inside in the zone, and that's the first strikeout for J.P., second out.

00:54This will not be the first time Devers has ever faced Sears.

00:57He's been struggling as a Giant.

00:59Yeah, 16 games, he's bounding just 2-10.

01:02And the 3-2, this one lifted in the air, shallow left field.

01:06Muncie's going back, and he'll be met by Soderstrom, who dives to the ground and makes the catch.

01:11Three up, three down, and a nice start for the A's defense.

01:15On the hill tonight for the Giants will be the veteran Justin Verlander.

01:19Verlander, 6'5", 240-pounder.

01:21Today marks the anniversary of when he made his Major League debut.

01:25That's pretty incredible when you go back in time 20 years ago to a young Justin Verlander with big eyes, the bright lights on him.

01:32And now you fast forward, he has made this career for himself, and yet no wins to show for it.

01:39262 wins.

01:40Delivers hits the ground ball to the hole, and through into right for a base set.

01:44So a leadoff single for Butler and the A's.

01:47Bring up the guy who's going to remarkably start the All-Star game for the American League, the rookie Jacob Wilson.

01:54Little roller to second where Fitzgerald will make the play.

02:00And Butler moves into scoring position.

02:02Sluggy right-handed hitter, 18 home runs for Rooker.

02:05Rooker, it's a line drive, and through, and a left center for a hit.

02:08Butler had to wait, he's going to third, they're going to wave him, and now the ball is bobbled and left by Ramos.

02:13And so Butler has scored, winding up his second base as Rooker, and the Athletics take a 1-0 lead.

02:20AL Rookie of the Month.

02:23Nick Kurtz up the middle.

02:26And Fitzgerald will make the play.

02:29Got him.

02:30Finished it off the inning with a strikeout.

02:33Tyler Soderstrom leads it off and in the left field.

02:36An opposite field hit for Soderstrom, and he's going to truck towards second.

02:41Here comes the slide and in.

02:43Soderstrom extra bases to lead it off here in the second.

02:46Just a tough time coming up with it cleanly for Elio Ramos out there.

02:50Max 213, seven home runs.

02:52Muncie had two homers in the Tampa Bay series.

02:55And Muncie's going to continue his hit streak.

02:57This one into the gap.

02:59In right center.

03:00Here comes Soderstrom, Max Muncie with an RBI double.

03:042-0 eights.

03:07The fourth hit off Rolander already.

03:09Zach Gelof up for the very first time here in 2025.

03:13It's good to have Gelof back in its second base.

03:16Got him.

03:17Who's pitching for?

03:18And he got a changeup right exactly where he wanted it, below the strike zone.

03:23And he plays off.

03:24And he'll walk on down to first.

03:25First and second for the all-star Jacob Wilson coming up.

03:29And Jacob Wilson out to left center.

03:33This is going to bounce and hit the wall.

03:35Here comes Max Muncie home.

03:37Getting way behind him is Lawrence Butler.

03:39And Jacob Wilson has made it a 4-0 game.

03:43Just one of the many reasons Jacob Wilson will be the American League starting shortstop.

03:50That one hurts.

03:51Now it has to face Rooker who had a base hit.

03:55And he's going to get this through on the right side.

03:57Brent Rooker will drive in another run.

04:01Here comes Jacob Wilson.

04:02Rooker into second.

04:03A double for Rook to add to his game resume today.

04:08First time in Lander's career he's given up four doubles in an inning.

04:12So Tyler Soderstrom hit by a pitch.

04:14He'll reach base for the second time here in the game.

04:16Six-game hit streak going on for Max.

04:18Where he's hit 4-12 over that time.

04:21He's also scored six rounds.

04:22And this one's fair.

04:23Into left field.

04:24And Tyler Soderstrom racing to third.

04:27Eric Martins is going to give him a stop sign.

04:29Max Muncie will have a double.

04:31Two for two.

04:32Two doubles today for Muncie.

04:34Second and third.

04:35One out.

04:36Zach Geloff.

04:37Geloff.

04:38Fly ball out to center field.

04:42And Jung-Hoo Lee will make the catch.

04:44Soderstrom will come home.

04:45Here comes the throw.

04:46It's cut off by the shortstop back to second.

04:49And the ball's dropped.

04:50But Muncie got back safely.

04:52Soderstrom scores on the sacrifice fly.

04:55Verlander out of the ball game right now.

04:57I mean you kind of feel for Justin Verlander.

04:59He's still looking for his first Giants win.

05:01It's not going to come tonight.

05:030-2.

05:04Ground ball left side.

05:05Cutting over from third is Alcantara.

05:07And it ticks off his glove and rolls away.

05:09This is a very sloppy game.

05:123-2 is called strike three.

05:15Nice fastball right on the inside.

05:17Mason Black with a good inning.

05:22And this is off the glove of Muncie.

05:24And Matos is on the move.

05:28And Matos is going to wisely put on the brakes.

05:33All right.

05:34Here's your start.

05:353-2 pitch.

05:36Fitzgerald takes high ball four.

05:38So good job Tyler Fitzgerald there after falling behind 0-2.

05:41The Giants have two off with nobody out for the second straight inning.

05:45Bailey struck out his first time up.

05:48Here's the 0-2.

05:49And Bailey goes down.

05:51Well that is just an exceptional job from J.P. Sears.

05:54Moving the fastball around in this at bat.

05:56Goes outside with the fastball for strikeout number five.

06:00There's the pitch.

06:01And Zach Geloff gets cut off by Kurtz to second.

06:04Nobody there at first.

06:06So just the one play for the A's.

06:08They will get Tyler Fitzgerald.

06:10Well here's where you hope we can get a pitch for Ramos to make this a 6-3 game.

06:16The 1-2.

06:17J.P. got it.

06:18Leaves two on.

06:19So the Giants that's two innings in a row.

06:22Two on.

06:23Nobody out.

06:24And they have no runs to show for it.

06:27Devers has popped out and struck out.

06:30He's roped into right center field.

06:32Going to be.

06:33Going to be.

06:35And now rolls up against the wall.

06:37Devers will get into second base with a double.

06:42Giants have nothing to cash in on the runner in scoring position.

06:46It'll be left up to Jung-Hoo Lee.

06:492-1.

06:50This is a fly ball out to left field.

06:52Tyler Soderstrom will jog to it.

06:55Jung-Hoo Lee is 0-3.

06:57And the Giants get another runner in scoring position.

07:00But don't score.

07:01Here's Denzel.

07:02Struck out in line down.

07:04Denzel to center field.

07:07Going back is Jung-Hoo Lee.

07:09Jung-Hoo Lee reaches up.

07:11It goes off his glove.

07:12And here is Denzel flying around the base path.

07:15It'll be an easy triple.

07:18Jung-Hoo Lee got the wrong directions because he was headed towards right center.

07:21Had to do a quick little turnabout.

07:23It was a first major league triple for Denzel Clark.

07:26It's Butler looking to drive in another run here and make it lucky seven.

07:31And here's the pitch.

07:32And here's the run.

07:34A line drive for Lawrence into center.

07:37Played it as Denzel Clark.

07:39And it is 7-0.

07:40Add a ribby to your night, Lawrence.

07:43Seven runs for the A's.

07:44No runs for the Giants.

07:45Bring up the AL Rookie of the Month in June.

07:48Nick Kurtz hammers one.

07:50Out to right field.

07:51Nick Kurtz with another home run.

07:54Number 13 on the season.

07:57The two-run shot makes it 9-0 A's.

08:00The round is very much on in West Sacramento.

08:05Nick Kurtz celebrating being named the Rookie of the Month in the American League for June.

08:09Clark has struck out, lined out, and tripled.

08:12He tripled and scored in the six.

08:16Big fly ball deep to left field.

08:19Denzel Clark.

08:21Two-run shot for Denzel and that adds to his day.

08:26Four hundred and seventy-one feet worth of homer.

08:31Third home run for Denzel Clark.

08:33He's got a triple and a homer in the game.

08:35Here's Wisely in Adamas' spot.

08:38Here's a swing and a fly ball center field deep.

08:41Clark goes back.

08:42Clark is going to climb the wall, but it's gone.

08:45Brett Wisely.

08:47And listen to Giants fans.

08:50They have waited all game for something, anything.

08:55And it's Brett Wisely's solo home run to make it 11-1.

09:00A home line drive to center field and comes Denzel.

09:04And another catch.

09:06Oh, man.

09:07Denzel making dazzling play after dazzling play.

09:11A ten-run lead for the A's as we go to the top of the ninth.

09:14Dominic Smith will pull up in second with a stand-up double.

09:17It's been a quiet night, and look, it happens in this sport.

09:20You don't just get three hits every night, but Lee 0 for 3.

09:232-2 pitch.

09:24Lee pulls it on the ground to the right side over to knock it down.

09:28Kurtz picks it up, throws to first behind Perkins.

09:31He gets away.

09:32Dom Smith is going to stroll home from third, and he'll score.

09:36Giants get their second run.

09:38It's 11-2.

09:39I don't know if they've charged an error on Kurtz.

09:42Two down.

09:43Giants are down to their final out.

09:45And it's Sergio Alcantara.

09:4611-2 A's here in the ninth inning.

09:48Outstrike three.

09:50Perkins gets the job done.

09:53Add another save to the books.

09:55A very disappointing night for the Giants.

09:58They were dominated by the A's here tonight in the first game of this series.

10:0211-2 the final score.

10:04The final score.
