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.
