00:01Bryce Harper's been waiting to
00:02do this for a long time.
00:04This year getting a chance to
00:05do it in front of a handful of
00:07the eighty eight hundred
00:08expected to be here this
00:09afternoon.
00:10Here's Ronald Acuna Junior 14
00:11home runs a season ago twenty
00:13nine runs batted in and the
00:14first pitch of the season is
00:16hit in the air to left field
00:17towering shot playable for
00:19McCutcheon he and Haisley are
00:21there and Haisley makes the
00:23call and the catch one pitch one
00:27set aside Max you know great
00:29year last year a couple of
00:30things only allowed two home
00:32runs last year I thought that
00:33was huge and last year righties
00:35hit two oh nine off them left
00:36he said two twenty and the first
00:39pitch is lined to right field
00:40that's it for a base hit Andrew
00:43McCutcheon is the board to begin
00:44the bottom of the first they got
00:48a couple of runners on both
00:51guys run well and get a ball in
00:52the gap here feels to go up to
00:54nothing or launch one here three
00:56nothing to go a long way in this
00:58ballgame that ball in the dirt
00:59one minute hit him and the bases
01:01are loaded you know Bob Alec
01:06bone right now Ben you know he's
01:08struggling with his off speed
01:09pitches look dead red first
01:12pitch like Andrew did try to put
01:13a good swing on it put your team
01:15up high in the air the left
01:17field it's not deep tagging from
01:19third as McCutcheon Ozuna is
01:22under comes running in the throw
01:24to the plate sails to the left and
01:26it is not in time a run scores
01:30the other runners move up a
01:32sacrifice fly the fills are on
01:35top one to nothing here's Austin
01:38Riley who a season ago had eight
01:39home runs twenty seven runs
01:42batted in curveball rolled up the
01:46third baseline charging his ball
01:47this is where he's improved he
01:49flips it to first dugout by
01:50Hoskins well he improves and
01:53going in to get the baseball and
01:56then Reese Hoskins improves the
01:58play by picking it on one hop and
02:01Acuna bats with two outs his
02:05thirtieth pitch is whacked inside
02:07the back fair and down the left
02:08field line it hits right off the
02:10point of the stands and Ronald
02:12Acuna juniors first hit of the
02:13season is a stand up double with
02:16two outs traditionally Aaron
02:20like a lot of good pitchers
02:22buckles down with runners in
02:24scoring position but Ben is
02:25right the guy on deck is not the
02:27one you want to face rolls over to
02:30the right side and Gene Segura is
02:32there at the beginning is there's
02:38a good hook Max Freed has his
02:40third strikeout in two in a row
02:41now three strikeouts for
02:43Fred and Reese Hoskins is coming
02:45up her ball ball that's a fair
02:49ball down the left field line
02:50slowly going toward the corner
02:52Hoskins on his way to second he'll
02:54get there standing his first set
02:57of the season and the Phillies
02:59have a one out double here in
03:00the bottom of the third Bryce
03:04was at two thirty three with
03:05runners in scoring position a
03:06season ago that was off the end
03:10of the bat flares in the right
03:11center field a base at Reese had
03:13to hold up so he'll stop at third
03:15Rice may have broken his bat but
03:17the Phillies have first and third
03:18with one out here in the third
03:20inning you've got a fourth hitter
03:22coming up your fifth hitter coming
03:23up this is their job to drive in
03:26runs with with runners on third
03:28with less than two outs that was
03:31really drilled right drilled into shallow
03:34right field
03:36Archer's going to third as a run
03:37scores he's saying oh he's out oh
03:40man it looked like he got his hand
03:42in there a run scores it's two
03:45nothing right now two outs but I'm
03:48sure the Phillies will take a look at
03:49this one but that's something in your
03:51head you have to know that Bryce is
03:53aggressive sometimes overly
03:55aggressive
03:56right now Riley is creeping in a
03:59third Aaron struck out his first
04:01plate appearance this one's
04:04butted toward Freeman he's going to
04:06go to second and it goes in the
04:07center field everybody is safe
04:14now you want to get Hoskins
04:16because Harper's on deck and a
04:20swing and a miss Max needed that
04:23to pitch swing and a miss he threw
04:26him another changeup and he
04:27deceived five strikeouts round
04:33ball right side and Segura's got
04:35it first the first inning is over
04:37five shutout hitting so far for
04:40Aaron Nola that's a big run to
04:42cut off free on Muto at second
04:44with one out and strike three
04:48that's a big yellow hammer
04:49curveball right there best of the
04:51game for freed who has struck out
04:54seven men and he struck him out
04:59again Gregorius has the hat
05:02trick eight strikeouts for Max
05:04freed Freddie smoked a ball to
05:06center field his last time up he's
05:08also bounced out to first as we
05:10told you he's been a Philly
05:11killer the last couple of years
05:15Freddie a bouncing ball right
05:17side Hoskins botches that no
05:18that botches the throw Freddie's
05:20on his way to second Acuna is on
05:22his way to third so our first
05:24chance to talk about a big
05:26problem for the Phillies last
05:28year it was their defense so as
05:30soon as one for two he is
05:31singled and struck out and a
05:33line drive caught by Alec Baldwin
05:35jumping high in the air over a
05:37third base to a way to be six
05:41five he meant to that that was
05:47trouble once it left the bat yeah
05:51that is as good as it's going to
05:52get you know two runs are going
05:54to score there as soon as going
05:55to be on second base it's been no
05:58secret how Noah's going after
06:00Darno today out of fastballs and a
06:04cold strike three ninety one on
06:06the outside part of the plate
06:07Darno goes down looking at the
06:11side is retired a little defense
06:13from ball Christian Pache the
06:16final seventh inning hope Pache
06:20breaks his bat and shoots one
06:22down the left field line into
06:23the corner McCutcheon will dig
06:24that out and Pache will stand at
06:27second with a two out double and
06:29now the Braves will have a chance
06:31to go to their bench and get the
06:33game tied and it'll be the Kung
06:35Fu Panda Pablo Sandoval getting
06:37the call and a drive hammer deep
06:42right field it's a pinch hit home
06:44run for Pablo Sandoval game is
06:47tied two two on an oh two pitch
06:51tries to come fastball in and
06:53really or try to go fastball the
06:54way pulled this on the inner part
06:56of the zone and Pablo hammered it
06:58and on a day Jeff where Aaron
07:00Nola threw eighty five pitches
07:03only one is one he wants back to
07:06the base runners freeway to third
07:07Darno at second Riley at first
07:10Pache doubled his last time up
07:14swing and a miss a hundred miles
07:16an hour and the side is retired
07:19he strikes out three serves it out
07:24towards shallow left center field
07:26D.D. Gregorius is there oh what a
07:28play he falls to his backside and
07:32reels it in fighting the win the
07:34entire time what a round what a
07:39grab and what a way to end the
07:41top of the ninth inning the
07:43runner at second base is the guy
07:45that made the last out in the
07:46previous sitting so it's Ozzie
07:47Albies in this case as Freddie
07:51hits this one to the right side
07:53that'll be a productive out is
07:55ninety feet away for Atlanta and
07:57Ozzie Albies who could put the
07:59Braves in front on the hands
08:02looped out to center field Roman
08:03Quinn comes in all these tags at
08:05third Quinn's got it all these
08:06is coming home he hesitated for a
08:08moment to throw to the plate he
08:09is out and home plate he never
08:13got to the dish smothered by J.T.
08:16Real Muto and the ending is over
08:22well look Gene's already getting
08:23up to the plate he is on a mission
08:25to do some damage Harper's at third
08:28that's what matters Gregorius at
08:30first over toward third and it's
08:33over the head of Riley down the
08:35left field line Harper scores
08:37easily Gene Segura was a man on a
08:40mission and the mission was
08:43victory and the Phillies have won
08:45on opening day in the bottom of
08:47the tenth inning three to two let
08:51the season begin
