00:00On the hill today for the Giants will be the right-handed veteran Johnny Cueto Cueto 35 years of A's in his 14th year at the big league level.

00:09Listen to what he's done this year in seven starts three and one with a three eight one ERA 31 strikeouts against six walks.

00:15You're going to see a low to mid 90s fastball best velocity will always be in two strike situations.

00:21He has a great change up.

00:22He'll cut the ball.

00:23He also has a curveball.

00:25And here's Kian Wong.

00:28This is hit up the middle.

00:29Crawford's got it.

00:30He's going to step on the bag for one to throw to first.

00:33Not in time.

00:34Crawford the ability to get the lead runner.

00:36Just under the glove of Johnny Cueto and just one of those defensive sets where it's going to be tough to make a double play.

00:44Look if they don't put the defensive set there they probably don't get the ball.

00:47Kian Wong is at first base and here is Anthony Rendon.

00:50There's a throw to first and he's out.

00:53And not there they got him.

00:55Kind of a double call but the last one is the one that counts.

01:00Now Johnny Cueto has the best move of any right hander in this giant staff and you might even say any left hander as well.

01:07Just great quick feet sets up the move and look at the strike.

01:10And all Lamont Wade has to do is drop and slap.

01:14And in the end Kian Wong had none chance.

01:17Toast.

01:18Dylan Bundy.

01:19Now Bundy last couple of outings have been very tough.

01:21As a matter of fact last three have been a big time challenge.

01:24Though a couple of times he's pitched against the Astros this year.

01:27He's been dynamic.

01:28He has had positive starts this year.

01:30He needs one today.

01:31To Lamont Wade Jr.

01:32That's a changeup.

01:33That's rolled to the right side.

01:35Flip to the athletic Bundy covering.

01:38Walsh to Bundy.

01:39Buster Posey.

01:40Got him over the outside corner.

01:42That is a breaking ball.

01:45Posey goes down on strike.

01:46Seventh start of the year for Anthony Bamboo.

01:49The runners on first and third.

01:51Anthony rolls it to the right side.

01:54They get one.

01:54Crawford can't get it out of his glove and the Halos take advantage.

01:58They strike first with a one to nothing lead.

02:01Boy a break there you thought off the bat because it was hit pretty hard by Bamboo.

02:04There's a chance at a double play ball.

02:06Crawford one of the best shortstops for a lot of years.

02:10Unable to get the baseball out of the glove.

02:12Ward gets it to him quickly.

02:14It's a bobble and a run scores.

02:16And you got the pitcher coming up in Dylan Bundy.

02:18That was a really important play.

02:20It's a little bit of a high throw.

02:21No slide by Rojas.

02:23Forced a high throw.

02:24Play Rendon to pull on the infield.

02:25Rendon hit well out into triples alley.

02:28Jastrzemski's got a beat on it and he runs it down.

02:31Not the spot to hit it in this park.

02:34Well this is not Anthony Rendon's first game at Oracle Park.

02:38He knows what triples alley can do to a good at bat.

02:42Teams cheat over is exactly what Jastrzemski did.

02:45I mean he was cheating over about eight steps from straightaway right field

02:49towards the gap in right center.

02:51And in the end it's just an easy play.

02:53It's such a fun play for Jastrzemski.

02:56One and two.

02:56Here's the pitch.

02:58Got him.

02:58Challenge 94 for Guido's first strikeout.

03:01Here's Rojas.

03:02Got him.

03:03There's some anger behind that fastball.

03:04Elevate.

03:05Just a simple thing is just changing sight lines.

03:08Goes right up across the top of the strike zone.

03:10He gets Rojas.

03:11Ben Boom reached on a fielder's choice.

03:13Got him.

03:14Finally got him the chase after that changeup.

03:17And of the three that he saw in that sequence that was probably the worst.

03:21The one that was farthest away from the strike zone.

03:23Started out there.

03:24Two-seat movement.

03:25Let the tail kind of run away and get the swing through.

03:27See ya.

03:28Bundy.

03:29Here's the pitch.

03:30Swung on and missed.

03:30Strike three.

03:31Got him to change up.

03:33So Guido hits the first batter of the inning and then strikes out three in a row.

03:37The Angels don't score.

03:39Longoria.

03:39Let's see if you can get something that you can hit hard somewhere.

03:43High drive.

03:44What failed.

03:46It is out of here.

03:49And the Giants take the lead.

03:51Stay high.

03:51Devin Longoria.

03:52That was a sweet swing right there.

03:54Home run number nine of the year.

03:57And that is just a thing of beauty.

03:59Ninety-one drop at middle end just above the knee.

04:03And Longoria just makes it look so easy.

04:08Hits it a third of the way up.

04:09For the bleachers.

04:10That's the pretty couple swing we talk about.

04:12Yeah.

04:12Start slow.

04:13Finish slow.

04:14But in between.

04:15Duggar.

04:16Left-handed hitter.

04:17The one-two pitch.

04:19Duggar knew it.

04:21Five strikeouts for Bundy.

04:22He's pitched well.

04:24Had a changeup and then he followed it right with a fastball.

04:27He set a wide target.

04:29Hits the glove.

04:29Rough at bat.

04:30Strike two.

04:31Guido had to sacrifice Bundy's for his time.

04:33Giants leading two to one.

04:36Bundy's got this one.

04:37Lunging to his right and reaching over his head to backhand it.

04:41Bundy.

04:42And he throws Cueto out at first.

04:44Two out.

04:45And Lamont Wade Jr. is going to hit with two outs.

04:47He'll take his time to give Johnny Cueto a chance to get back into the dugout.

04:52Wade a ground ball and a strikeout.

04:53High and deep.

04:55Down the line.

04:57It is out of here.

04:59And that's his first.

05:01How about that?

05:01It's his third career.

05:03First one as a Giant.

05:05And that's one he'll remember for a long time.

05:07He set an outside target.

05:08He missed middle end just above the thigh.

05:11And Wade says, that's where I like him.

05:12Now Dubon, three and two.

05:15Very high.

05:17And deep.

05:18And out of here.

05:21Mauricio Dubon makes it a four to one ball game.

05:24He can never hide a smile, that's for sure.

05:27No, he cannot.

05:28Well, if you replace Eva Longoria, the deal is you have to hit like him.

05:32And he gets a high-hanging breaking ball from Dylan Bundy and takes on left center.

05:39There's the hang and boom, there's the bang.

05:42Boomer Flores.

05:43Now he's ready.

05:45Here comes Solano.

05:47And the Giants are going to get an easy one.

05:50And I think that's a drop-off.

05:51That thing took off, too.

05:53He set an outside target and that just kept sweeping.

05:57That was not a breaking ball.

05:58That ball just takes off.

06:00That could be a pass ball for Bimbo, the catcher.

06:03I mean, he really got eaten up by that thing.

06:05That's a big movement.

06:06Every once in a while, it'll happen.

06:09Pitchers can't even explain how it happens.

06:10Now five to one, Giants leading.

06:12Here's the one-two pitch.

06:14Right center field.

06:16And nobody is there.

06:19Duggar scores.

06:20Flores gets to jog easily into second base with a double.

06:25Nice at bat.

06:26So the line change works.

06:28The line change works.

06:30Bring in a lefty.

06:32And you take your lefty out of the game.

06:33You put your righty in.

06:34And this is what you do.

06:35You go inside out.

06:36You find a gap in right center.

06:38Hit it completely away from the Angels defense.

06:41They had no chance at it.

06:43Tommy at third.

06:43Two down in the ninth.

06:45Ray and two.

06:45The count to Ben Boom.

06:46And the pitch.

06:48Got him.

06:49And that's the ball game.

06:50And the Giants win their fourth in a row as they take game one of this series from the Angels.

06:56The final score.

06:57The Giants six.

06:59The Angels one.

07:00and the Giants one.
