00:01It's an absolute honor to be with you all tonight for the 41st annual presentation of the Willie Mack Award.
00:13The only award named for a former player, the Willie Mack Award is the most special recognition a Giant can receive,
00:22as it's voted on by Giants teammates, coaches, and trainers, and by all of you, our great fans.
00:29Your 2021 Willie Mack Award winner, number 31, Lamont Wade Jr.
00:39You guys have been great all year, and we appreciate the love and support that you give us and continue to give us. Thank you.
00:45Unhilled tonight for the Giants will be Anthony Di Sclafani.
00:48This year, this is his 31st save, 12-7 with a 3-2-6 ERA.
00:53An outstanding season, 149 strikeouts against 42 walks.
00:57Swung on line drive in the left field.
01:02This is going to be extra bases.
01:04As the center fielder, Ostremski, races over, Trent Grisham leads things off for the Padres with a double.
01:09Grisham now 90 feet away from scoring, and Fernando Tatis Jr. coming to the plate.
01:14Got him!
01:17High, 95, one hour fastball, two down.
01:20Out in front of home plate.
01:24Buster Posey jumps on it.
01:25Spins, throws, got him!
01:27Pedro Avila.
01:29Well, if his name sounds familiar, it should, because remember, he first debuted as a 22-year-old back in 19, 2019,
01:36against the Arizona Diamondbacks in the desert.
01:38Went five and a third.
01:39This season in the minors, he made 11 starts.
01:45Nice pitch there.
01:46That was the changeup.
01:48And he strikes out.
01:49Lamont Wade Jr.
01:49One away.
01:50Here is Darren Ruff now.
01:53High drive to left.
01:56Down the line.
01:57Out of here!
01:58And the Giants take the lead.
02:00You talk about putting a bat head on a high fastball, and that's exactly what he does.
02:06That's a 111-mile-an-hour rocket going over the wall on left field.
02:09And it didn't get up very high.
02:12Nice play out there, young man.
02:14And that keeps the inning going for Mikey Yastrzemski.
02:18Check, swing, base hit.
02:21Here comes Crawford.
02:23He's going to score, and the Giants pick up another run.
02:26It's 2-0.
02:27That's called a win.
02:28You're hot.
02:29He's hit right there.
02:30Let's move it towards Hosmer.
02:34Right.
02:36And a high throw.
02:38And he stays on the bag.
02:40Wilmer Flores does.
02:41One out.
02:44Here's a ground ball to short.
02:46Crawford to second.
02:47Gets one.
02:47The relay the first.
02:49Not in time.
02:52Runner goes.
02:53Swing and a fly ball.
02:55Center field.
02:56Yastrzemski.
02:57Side retired.
03:00Still the second inning.
03:02Here's a swing and a miss.
03:03Strike three.
03:03Slider.
03:04Avila strikes out.
03:07Hard hit again.
03:09And Trent Crissom two for two.
03:10Against Anthony Di Sclafani here tonight.
03:15The other way to Longoria.
03:16To Crawford.
03:17Can he turn it?
03:18Yes he does.
03:21Just your basic five six three double play.
03:29And sends that one right to Kim at third base.
03:32One pitch one out at the bottom of the third inning.
03:36Got him.
03:37Avila with three strikeouts.
03:40Flores is going to go.
03:42And it's outside.
03:43Ball four.
03:44So Yastrzemski walks.
03:45That's back to back two out walks drawn by the Giants.
03:49Gives him a Longoria chance.
03:51The 2-0 to Longoria.
03:53Swung on.
03:53Ground ball left side.
03:54Scooped up by Kim.
03:55He's going to go the short way over to second base in time for the force out.
03:58And that'll do it.
03:59So Avila works out of the jam after issuing back to back two out walks.
04:06Line drive right at Solano.
04:10One out.
04:12One two pitch.
04:13That is called strike three.
04:15Got the call on the outside.
04:17Little backdoor breaking ball.
04:22Tap slowly.
04:23This will be an interesting play but not a problem.
04:26Side retired.
04:29He's hit left field.
04:36Two.
04:37For 51.
04:43That is strike three in the end of the inning.
04:45Four strikeouts in four frames for Pedro Avila.
04:49Got him.
04:50Perfectly placed at 95.
04:52Back to back K's for Avila in the fourth as he works around the hit from Di Sclipani.
04:56And Caratini rips it in the air.
05:00Out towards triples alley.
05:01That is extra bases.
05:05Wade picks it up.
05:06And with Caratini's wheels he will turn it into doubles alley.
05:10And that is certainly acceptable with two outs.
05:12He still stands on second base now at two outs.
05:14And the pinch hitter will be Tommy Pham.
05:16Three-two pitch.
05:17A hard ground ball right to Flores at first.
05:19Now he's got a foot race with Pham.
05:21And he beats him to the bag.
05:23That'll put runners at first and second now at two outs.
05:26And the go-ahead run coming to the plate in the person of Eric Hosmer.
05:29The 0-2 pitch.
05:30And a little roller right along the third baseline.
05:32And it hits the bag.
05:33Now racing around third is Tatis.
05:35He's gotten himself hung up.
05:37Chasing him down is Longoria.
05:38And he tags him out.
05:39So here's Lestella.
05:42Boy he's been valuable coming off the bench.
05:44And obviously that's what he's doing right now.
05:48And on the ground and Cronenworth is going to take a hit away from Lestella.
05:52Now the Giants could get a run even without a base hit if Mont Wade could hit a fly ball.
06:00Center field.
06:00This should do it.
06:02Moving back is Grisham.
06:05Tagging is Solano.
06:06Not a problem.
06:07Three nothing giant.
06:08That's a big at bat right there.
06:10On the play Will Myers advances to third base.
06:13Two down and that'll bring up jerks and profiles.
06:16Here's the pitch to Profar.
06:17He swings and pops it up.
06:19Left side of the diamond.
06:21Longoria backpedaling underneath.
06:22It makes a catch.
06:26Hit hard the other way and a fair ball.
06:28Second hit of the night for Tatis.
06:30He's going to try and turn it into extra bases and he will.
06:33A two out double for Fernando.
06:35Two out double for Fernando Tatis Jr.
06:37Here's Jake Cronenworth.
06:40Strike three called.
06:43The riser just above the belt.
06:45That throws him.
06:46Two down.
06:47It'll be up to Hasan Kim to try to keep the Padres' hopes alive.
06:51Ground ball to Crawford.
06:53He's got it.
06:53Here's the throw to first.
06:55The ball game is over.
06:57And that's the 106th win for the Giants.
07:01And they have clinched no worse than a tie for first place in the National League West with two games still to play.
07:10And they have equaled a longstanding record that was set by the 1904 Giants.
07:17So three nothing is your final.
07:20The Giants then will go into the clubhouse.
07:22They will keep an eye on what's going on in Los Angeles.
07:25But they also comfortably know that it is in their hands.
07:29And they can clinch tomorrow with a win.
07:31And they will keep an eye on what's going on in Los Angeles.
