01:04what are their chances in this matchup well I think team speed is going to play a big factor in this
01:09one the south field here at Comerica is so spacious balls can just run for days out there so muscling
01:15up and going for the long ball doesn't always pay off it's the clubs that can drive the ball into the
01:20alleys that have most success here okay hud we'll see if you're right the umpire is ready to go he

04:00in a scoreless ball game
04:022 for the third one
04:12okay
04:15financially
04:16That'll lead off the home half of the first inning.
04:23First pitch on the way.
04:26Drops down a bunt.
04:28The throw to first.
04:30Not in time and he's in there.
04:33With the leadoff guy on here, let's see if they want to establish the tone here
04:36and send him on his way.
04:46Vina is at the plate here and he looks at ball one.
04:53I don't think you'll bite at that.
04:58The 1-0 pitch.
05:00Swing and a line drive.
05:02The second for one.
05:04Time to first.
05:05Safe as they can't get the back end.
05:12Switch hitting Dimitri Young will be the batter.
05:14The first pitch to him.
05:25Big swing and a miss.
05:26Strike one.
05:34Over to first.
05:35And he has to dive back.
05:37Something may be up here.
05:39Oh, and he can't hang on.
05:44Young will step in.
05:52One for one in this game.
06:03First pitch is a changeup.
06:04Looked at.
06:050-1.
06:06And when he's keeping that on the corner, he's tough.
06:08This one's popped towards the outfield grass and shallow center.
06:19Reyes is there and he puts it away.
06:22Two down.
06:27Here's a guy who enjoyed a renaissance in Florida last year, Yvonne Rodriguez.
06:31He kicks and delivers first pitch as a cutter looked at.
06:42It's 0-1.
06:51Has a big whip at it.
06:51But now he's in the hole 0-2.
06:53And he misses low off the outside corner wanting to look in the back door, but he lays off.
07:09One ball, two strikes.
07:10Here's the pinch.
07:11Grounded softly to show.
07:13Oh, and it comes up on him.
07:14White is ready to get his first crack at it, right here.
07:33The pitch.
07:34Off the plate and low.
07:35One ball, no strikes.
07:36The 1-0 pitch, a fastball swung on a miss.
07:47One and one.
07:48Oh, he's got this baby time, but he just misses it.
07:53Over to first.
07:55They almost got him that time.
08:03One-one pitch is a cut fastball taken for a strike.
08:06One and two.
08:14Fastball swung on a miss.
08:16And with that, the side is retired.
08:19Well, he's got him two strikes and he comes right back in with a fastball.
08:22This was in the low 90s and it's effective.
08:24Brother, let me tell you.
08:26The Tigers pick up a run on two hits and they've left a couple of men on base.
08:31We'll go to the top of the second.
08:33The Tigers lead it 1-0.
08:35He starts him off with a changeup, inside, ball one.
08:46And he fouls this one off.
08:48Bravo!
08:48The 1-1 pitch on the way.
08:55Lifted into left center and shallow.
08:57White drifts over and makes the catch.
09:01One away.
09:02Well, he swings under this one and the result is an easy out.
09:05Phillips will step in now to take his first hacks of the game.
09:09Here's a swing and a fly ball.
09:21Sanchez is going to get there and make the catch for the out.
09:25He has to come in a little bit on this one, but he's able to get there in time to put it away.
09:29Now, the powerful Mike Cameron will come up.
09:32Mike Cameron.
09:38Refreshing sodas, ice-cold sodas.
09:41Took something off and it swung on and missed.
09:43Strike one.
09:44Good arm motion that time.
09:46Had him fooled.
09:50Here's a swing and a ground ball.
09:52Guillen has got it.
09:54Throws the first and the side is retired.
09:58The Mets are retired in short order here.
10:02Now we'll move on to the bottom of the second.
10:04The Tigers on top.
10:061-0.
10:07Pena will dig in now to start the home half of the second.
10:17Cut fastball in there for a called strike.
10:21The 0-1 pitch is a chain job, swung on and missed, 0-2.
10:37Got him.
10:381 away.
10:39Well, he gives him the old good morning, good afternoon, and good night.
10:43That was too easy.
10:44Here's a swing and a high fly ball, carrying to deep right field.
10:59Sedano is there, and he makes the catch for out number two.
11:03Well, he has to backpedal a bit to get this one,
11:06but he's able to put it away shy of the wall.
11:08Coming to bat, Bobby Higginson.
11:20Changeup in there for a called strike.
11:22The 0-1 pitch is a cut fastball, swung on and missed, 0-2.
11:33Boy, that thing has excellent movement.
11:40Change it up.
11:40Got him.
11:41And the side is retired.
11:43Well, he makes quick work of him here.
11:45Three pitches.
11:46See ya.
11:47Nothing doing here this happening.
11:49We'll go to the top of any number three.
11:51The Tigers lead.
11:521-0.
11:53Ty Wigginson.
11:53Ty Wigginson.
11:56Get your pretzel right in.
11:59You're going to lose, Ty.
12:03Swings and skies this one in the air to center.
12:06Sanchez is in his tracks as he puts this one away.
12:10And that's about as easy as it gets for a center fielder.
12:15Zeal is ready to get his first look at him right here.
12:18First pitch on the way.
12:25First pitch is a fastball in there for a strike.
12:27Yeah, good hard fastball.
12:28Let's see if he comes back with another one.
12:35He's not cheating himself in that swing, but he missed another one.
12:37It's 0-2 now.
12:45Swung on and grounded towards the hole.
12:46Vina has it out.
12:49Throws the first and he's retired for our number two.
12:56Cedeno will get his first plate appearance in this one now.
12:58Roger.
12:59Cedeno.
13:06Ball one.
13:07Boy, he's got some nice movement on that thing.
13:13Here's the 1-0 delivery.
13:14Low line inside for a ball.
13:172-0.
13:25Swings and lines this one back up the middle.
13:32And that one finally gets him in the hit column here in the third.
13:35Let's see if they can do something with it.
13:37Metsui.
13:40Metsui.
13:41Little bad here.
13:42He grounded out his last time.
13:43Metsui.
13:52Over to first.
13:53He had to stretch out that time, but he just didn't make it.
13:55They throw over to first.
13:58A throw back to the bag.
14:02First pitch to him.
14:04And that misses for a ball.
14:05Yeah, don't bite at that.
14:06Make him throw strikes.
14:08And the pitch out.
14:09But nothing doing that time.
14:10Missed again.
14:11Ball two.
14:13And that's up and in.
14:14So he's a pitch away from losing him.
14:15Up in the count.
14:16And that's up and in.
14:17So he's a pitch away from losing him.
14:18Up in the count.
14:19He can sit middle in here.
14:20And the ball.
14:21Yeah, don't bite at that.
14:22Make him throw strikes.
14:25And the pitch out.
14:26But nothing doing that time.
14:27Missed again.
14:28Ball two.
14:29And that's up and in.
14:30So he's a pitch away from losing him.
14:31Up in the count.
14:32He can sit middle in here.
14:34The 3-0 pitch.
14:50Fastball.
14:51And he's taking all the way.
14:52Three and one.
14:58And that misses.
14:59Ball four.
15:00So he works his way aboard.
15:01At the plate.
15:02They would have liked to have given
15:03the green light there.
15:043-0.
15:05But he wasn't biting.
15:06So he's on.
15:08Mini pizzas.

29:57sends it easy fly to center field
29:59for the out at the plate Jose Ray
30:02Ray first pitch to him Reyes is at
30:12the plate now and he takes ball
30:13one just trying to keep that hitter
30:16off balance with that one 1 0
30:18pitch is a change up in there one
30:20and one ball two and that'll keep

30:29at least the two and one pitch to
30:35one pitch is a change up taking
30:36for a called strike two and he had
30:39him fooled there and he said this
30:44one in the air towards center and
30:46that one falls in their base and
30:48shot and he's on it.
30:49Oh you can't come up with it.
30:57Floyd will be the batter he struck
30:59out swinging this last time.
31:03Get your official game caps right
31:05here.
31:06A little bit close that time but he's back in there.
31:16Fastball.
31:17Swing and a miss.
31:180 and 1.
31:19He's sitting dead red and he got it.
31:20But he's just under.
31:25Here's a big swing and a miss and it's 0 and 2.
31:33Quick throw to first.
31:44Look out.
31:45That one ran in and got him.
31:47Well he tries to step out of the way of this thing but it gets him alright.
31:50Coming to bat.
31:52Mike Piazza.
31:58One out with runners at first and second.
32:02Pena.
32:03Hasn't played well that time as he puts it away.
32:09Phillips.
32:10Will be the batter.
32:11Grounded out his last time.
32:12Phillips.
32:13Swings and misses at that fastball.
32:15It's 0 and 1.
32:16This one swung on and hit in the air.
32:17And it drops in for a base head.
32:23Well they tried to run this one in on his hands.
32:24But he stays right on this thing and shoots the ball to center field.
32:29For a base hit.
32:30Mike Cameron.
32:31Mike Cameron.
32:32Mike Cameron.
32:33Oh.
32:34Oh.
32:38This one swung on and hit in the air, and it drops in for a base hit.
32:47Well, they tried to run this one in on his hands, but he stays right on this thing
32:51and shoots the ball to center field for a base hit.
32:54Mike Cameron.
32:56Watch this one that's in there for strike one good live fastball that time.
33:13Good cut fastball that time and he's in control all in two.
33:16Well, he's sitting on this thing.
33:18He just swung right over.
33:22Lowell went outside with that one and it's one and two.
33:26Swings and hits this one in the air, shallow left, White, gets there, makes the catch on the side as we tie it.
33:38Well, they get him out on his front foot a little and that causes him to swing under the ball
33:42and he lofts one to the left fielder.
33:44The Mets pick up a run on two hits and they've left a couple of men on base.
33:48Now we'll go to the last of the six.
33:50The Mets lead it 2 to 1.
33:56Now a swing and a ball hit on the ground.
34:01Matsui is their leadoff man's aboard.
34:06Let's see how they decide to play it here.
34:08Let's see how they decide to play it here's a swing and a slow roller up in the middle.
34:23The second for one on the first two a double play.
34:28Rodriguez with a single as last time will be the back.
34:39Rodriguez with a single as last time will be the back.
34:43Bretzel, don't forget your mustard, Bretzel.
34:47Fastball swung and missed 0-1.
34:49Well, they set that target on the outer half of the plate and he just fires it right by him.
34:57Wow, really extended the arms that time, but didn't get it.
35:00It's 0-2.
35:06Cut fastball swung on and missed and the side is retired.
35:10So, no runs, one hit, and nobody left.
35:14On to the seventh inning we go.
35:16The Mets on top, 2-1.
35:21Wigginton will come up to lead off the seventh inning.
35:24Ty Wigginton.
35:28He kicks and delivers.
35:31Now a swing and a ball hit on the ground.
35:34Vina dives.
35:35He's up with it.
35:36Off-balance throw gets him for out number one.
35:40Great play.
35:52Zeal will get another shot.
35:55He hit into a double play last time.
35:59Pink and blue gets your cotton candy.
36:01A swing and a fly ball to left center field.
36:07And this one is into the alleyway and should be extra bases.
36:13Well, this is a pretty good pitch to hit.
36:15And he gets good wood on this one.
36:17Now he's in scoring position with one out.
36:19Coming to the bat.
36:20Roger Cedeno.
36:25One out and a runner in second.
36:27He's at the plate and he takes a called strike one.
36:42Here's a swing and a ball line softly towards the hole.
36:45Pena is right there, though, to bring this one in.
36:48Well, he doesn't get a whole lot on this one.
36:50But the first baseman is there to pull this in easily.
36:53He's at the plate now and he takes ball one.
37:19There's ball three.
37:21Boring the 3 0 pitch on the way
37:29take your back and that misses
37:31as well and it's a four pitch
37:32walk Jose Ray now here's a swing
37:46and a ball hit on the ground and
37:47they put the tag on and he is
37:49out no runs on a hit and one nine
37:54left on seven to the stretch time
37:56in Motown the Mets lead two to
38:00one
38:07one
38:09one
38:10one
38:11one
38:12one
38:15two
38:16two
38:19one
38:20two
38:22one
38:23one
38:24one
38:25one
38:26one
38:27two
38:28one
38:29one
38:30White we're trying to get things going here in the home half of the set
38:42Lifted into left center and shallow floyd drifts over and makes the catch one away
38:49Well, he swings under this one and the result is an easy out
38:54Pena will be the batter. He had a fly ball out his last time
39:00He's going to be the ball out his first swing and a liner to write and that's a fair ball heading towards the corner
39:11And that one is going to rattle up against the wall
39:15Starting out with the fastball that time and he just lines this one to right field for a base hit
39:21Munson would be the batter. He said his last time
39:30The pitch cut fastball swung on and missed it's on one
39:46Has a big rip at it, but now he's in the hole and two
39:49And that's in on the hands for a ball one and two and this thing starts out in the zone, but it tails a bit too far in
40:07Struck him out and that's strikeout number eight thus far
40:10Higginson will step in bounce into a fielder's choices last time
40:24Starts him off with a cut fastball inside ball one
40:27The 1-0 pitch a fastball swung on and miss one and one who I could feel the breeze up here John
40:45On the ground a second Reyes dives and he's got it from his knees shot him what a play
40:57No runs on one base hit and a runner left. At first we'll move ahead to the 8th the Mets are in front
41:142 to 1
41:24First pitch here it comes
41:25Big cut at that one, but he missed it one strike
41:34The 0-1 pitch a fastball swung on and missed 0 and 2
41:43Swing and a miss on the changeup and he's down on strikes for the first down
41:49Piazza will get a chance here. He popped out in foul ground his last time
41:55Swing and a ground ball to short he and has it on the hop on the first four out number two
42:07Phillips
42:12Phillips will step in RBI single his last time
42:21First pitch on the way
42:23Swing and misses at that fastball. It's 0 and 1
42:25Misses one and one
42:31Misses one and one boy. He's got some nice movement on that thing
42:35And this is hit in the air foul down the left field line
42:42The 1-2 pitch is a fastball inside 2 and 2
42:50Again excellent tailing movement, but that's easy to lay off of
42:57Hit in the air to center field
42:58And that's a base head as it gets down in front of him
43:03Well, that's usually a pretty good pitch
43:05Got him chasing that time, but he was able to get it in the center field and he's aboard
43:18Cameron looks at a first pitch that misses 1-0
43:21And he's up over the 100 pitch plateau. So you've got to think that well is going to start running dry right about now
43:28Believe it. He's at the belt the 1-0 pitch
43:34Line drive left of the bag and foul
43:41Fastball swung out and missed and the side is retired
43:46No runs on a hit and one man left up
43:48And we'll move to the bottom of the 8th the Mets lead it
43:522 to 1
44:00Nobody out. Nobody on
44:04The end looks at the first pitch and it misses 1 and 0
44:14Swung on and popped up
44:16Shallow left
44:17Floyd is there and makes the catch for out number one
44:21Well, they get him out on his front foot a little and that causes him to swing under the ball and he lofts one to the left fielder
44:34One out nobody on
44:39Sanchez looks at one that's in there for a strike
44:43Might have been looking off speed there because that's a pitch he can handle
44:47He's got to set up his other stuff
44:49Here's a slider that misses one and one
44:55One ball one strike the pitch
44:58Two and one now
44:58Two
44:59Three ball one and a strike here he comes
45:01He can use that to set up his other stuff
45:13Three balls and a strike here he comes
45:16Lost in the ball four so not a possible tying run is a board
45:19He's got to set up his other
45:22Vena
45:24Will come up and singled his last time
45:35First pitch is a cut fastball high one ball no strikes
45:38He's got to set up his first
45:45The 1-0 pitch is a cutter that travels outside
45:48Two and a
45:49Tried to let that cutter tail back over the corner but it stays wide
45:55Cut fastball is in for a strike two and one
45:58The two and one pitch there he goes towards second
46:09And he is out on a good throw
46:12Good throw that time to get his man
46:15And look like the runner breaks a little slowly out of the gate
46:18And when that happens this guy will gun you every time
46:21Take your base
46:32Young to be the batter he hit into a double play his last time
46:44First pitch to him
46:46There's a swing and a liner to right center
46:49And that one falls in there
46:51Oh
46:57Well here's a guy who understands how to use the whole field
47:00He sees he's not going to be able to get on top of this thing
47:03So he just slices it the
47:05So he just slices it the
47:07So he just slices it the other way
47:09Nice batting
47:11Weathery
47:12Comes into the game now how it is the new pitcher
47:15Weathers has bounced around a little bit
47:17The Mets were his 8th clubby's pitch field
47:19He's always been known as a hard thrower he won't shy away from anyone
47:25Pretzels fresh shot pretzels coming in
47:28Now a spin and a throwback to second
47:31Oh and he has to dive back but he's just barely in there
47:34The 1-0 pitch
47:36And there's the second wide one
47:41And there's ball three
47:42Now he's set here's the 3-0 pitch
47:43And he takes ball four
47:44So it's a four-pitch walk through
47:46So it's a four-pitch walk through
47:47White
47:48The 1-0 pitch
47:50And there's the second wide one
47:52And there's ball three
47:54Boring
47:56Now he's set here's the 3-0 pitch
47:58And he takes ball four
48:00So it's a four-pitch walk through
48:02So it's a four-pitch walk through
48:04White
48:06With that now
48:07He had a fly ball for now this last time
48:08Abernathy
48:10Is going to come into the ball game now as a runner
48:12And they want a little extra speed out there
48:14So they're going to go ahead and replace this runner
48:16Let's see if this added speed pays off
48:20And they want a little extra speed out there
48:22So they're gonna go ahead and replace this runner
48:24And they're gonna go ahead and replace this runner
48:26Let's see if this added speed pays off
48:30And the fastball is inside
48:32Swings and skies this one in the air to center
48:44Is there now and he puts it away to retire the side
48:48Well this ball just goes right up the chute
48:50And the second baseman has no trouble putting it away
48:52Out!
48:53The Detroit Tigers
48:55Score a run on one hit and they strand a couple
49:00Eight innings are in the books
49:01It's on to the ninth
49:02Tied
49:03Tied 2-2
49:05Anderson
49:06Is going to come in to pitch here Rex
49:08And this dude
49:09My goodness
49:10Talk about a guy you hate to see coming into the game
49:12He can be scary wild out there
49:14With that 100 mile an hour heater
49:16No thanks
49:20He kicks and delivers
49:22Wigginton
49:23Wigginton
49:24Wigginton
49:25Is at the plate here and he looks at ball one
49:30Now here's a swing and a ground ball
49:32He ends
49:33He ends
49:34Is right there
49:35And he throws on the first for the out
49:36One away
49:40Zeal
49:41Will be the batter
49:42He doubled his last time
49:43The pitch
49:50This one's grounded near third but foul
49:52He's not cheating himself in that swing but he missed another one it's 0 and 2 now
49:58Fastball got him
50:02Two down
50:04Cedeno
50:05Will come to the plate he lined out in his last at bat
50:08You
50:11Fastball too low
50:12Ball one
50:14Lays off again 2 and 0
50:15Looking for that low inside corner but couldn't quite pick it
50:18Here's the 2 and 0 pitch
50:19Curveball too far inside and he has to hop out of the way there
50:21Lost him ball four and walking the number nine hitter is not what he had in mind
50:24He has to hop out of the way there
50:28Lost him ball four and walking the number nine hitter is not what he had in mind
50:31Matsui
50:32Matsui
50:33Will bat now
50:34God he's gonna need a big two out A.B. right here to keep this thing going
50:35Right here

50:38He's looking for that low inside corner but couldn't quite pick it
50:40Here's the 2 and 0 pitch
50:41Curveball too far inside and he has to hop out of the way there
50:45Lost him ball four and walking the number nine hitter is not what he had in mind
50:51Matsui
50:52Will bat now

50:57Right here official game cast
50:59First pitch here it comes
51:02Knuckle Curve swung on and missed 0 and 1
51:12A towering fly ball to deep center field
51:16Sanchez
51:17Is there and that'll do it for this half of the inning
51:20Hmm
51:21That's about as well as you can hit the ball without having it go out
51:24The New York Mets are held in check here in their half of the inning
51:27And now to the bottom of the ninth
51:29And we are tied at 2
51:40Slider stays inside one ball no strikes
51:43Good location Baron down and in
51:45That one gave me fits I hated that one
51:47This one is hit high in the air towards right center
51:53Cameron
51:54Is there and he puts it away for out number one
51:56The center fielder has the range to his left
51:58But he's able to hot foot over there and put it away
52:01Monson
52:04Will step in a strikeout victim as last time
52:16Popped up in the infield
52:18Weather is right there as he pulls this one in
52:20Well as an infielder you're taught that the pitcher shouldn't call any pop up in the infield
52:26But he takes this one anyway
52:37Higgins like one can't connect on that one and it's 0 and 1
52:40Here's a big swing and a miss and it's 0 and 2
52:55Almost down to chase that one but he held up in time 1 and 2
52:58And the sinker swung out and missed and the side is retired
53:07They go down quickly and quietly here
53:10On into extra innings we go
53:12This one's all even at 2
53:15Reyes
53:17We'll be leading it off here in the 10th inning
53:19Jose Reyes
53:22Retzel fresh shot
53:24Retzel coming in
53:26Fastball taken high
53:28Want to know?
53:29And he's got to reign that thing in a bit
53:34The 1 0 pitch is a fastball in there
53:361 and 1
53:42The 1 1 pitch is a fastball swung on and missed 1 and 2
53:51There's a swing and a ground ball
53:53Anderson is there to play it on the high
53:55And his throw gets him 1 away
53:57And his throw gets him 1 away
54:03Floyd will come up now
54:05He struck out swinging his last time
54:13And he offers at the knuckle curve and misses 0 and 1
54:15This one swung on and hit high and deep to right field
54:24And it's good!
54:26A home run!
54:28Well nothing like some extra inning heroics here
54:30He finds a pitch in his wheelhouse at that time
54:33He puts a charge into it
54:34Now Rex if you look ahead to the bottom half of the inning
54:37Those guys in the other dugout
54:38They're behind right now
54:39But they've got some big bats
54:41And then get right back into it in a hurry
54:43John once again
54:44You're right this thing is far from over
54:46Piazza
54:53First pitch on the way
54:55Piazza looks at one that misses for a ball
54:571 and 0
55:04Fastball inside and he had to dance out of the way there
55:05The 2-0 pitch here it comes
55:10comes back with one in there at the knees 2 and 1
55:20This one swung on and hit on a line
55:22The end
55:24Is there and he puts it away
55:262 back
55:28And this baby is smoked
55:29But the shortstop's right there to glove that baby
55:31Jason Phillips
55:35He has to do it
55:39Curveball too far inside and he has to hop out of the way there
55:47Fastball way better and missed 1 and 1
55:54The 1-1 pitch on the way
55:56Trying to hit one out into the parking lot there
55:57But he missed it 1 and 2
55:591 2 pitch is a high hard one that misses 2 and 2
56:05Struck him out for out number 3
56:07Now we'll see if their offense can keep this game going
56:09The New York Mets get a run on the homer and take the lead
56:12We'll go to the bottom of any number 10
56:16The Mets on top 3 to 2
56:19The Mets are going to make a defensive change here
56:23The Mets are going to make a defensive change here
56:26The bases are empty nobody out
56:44The bases are empty nobody out
56:48This one swung on and hit down the line and right
56:51Cedeno is right there to bring that one in
56:54Well he covers a lot of ground out there
56:57And he's able to range to his left and pull this one in near the line
57:00Sanchez will come to bat now
57:04He's 1 for 3 in the game
57:06The New York Mets are going to make a change defensively
57:08Fastball in there for a called strike
57:23Got the fastball by him that time and he's in control now 0 and 2
57:27Oh he's got this baby time but he just misses it
57:31And he swings and hits this one foul
57:38Can't get him to chase that fastball
57:411 and 2
57:43Just below the knees they might have wanted that one
57:47Sinker swung on and missed and that's out number 2
57:52Viena will come to bat now he's 1 for 3 in the game
58:03Cut fastball that time and oh he just about got him
58:05Here's a swing on the ground ball
58:09Reyes
58:10Dives
58:11He's got it
58:12And an off-balance throw is in time for the final out
58:15What a play
58:17The Mets win this one in dramatic fashion
58:21Oh you want to talk about a game that held our attention down to the very last pitch
58:25This was the one
58:26Al Leiter was dominant out there in the mound in this one and Rex I think we have to say he's our ESPN video games player of the game
58:38He gave them an excellent pitching performance this is just about the definition of a quality start work deep into the game gave up just one Ernie and gave his team a chance to win this one so that just about wraps things up from here for my partner Rex
58:52And our entire ESPN crew this is John Miller saying thanks for being with us once again our final in 10 innings the Mets win it 3 to 2 this has been a presentation of ESPN the worldwide leader in sports for more log on to ESPN dot com so long from Detroit
