00:01old Fred Luisa Rize returns to
00:03San Diego on a Giants uniform
00:05but the Padres with forty nine
00:06multi-hit games a year ago.
00:09Well look oh and three isn't
00:10exactly the way you want to get
00:11started Mike so what do you do
00:13you go on the road and you try
00:15to get on track on the road and
00:17start swinging the bats.
00:19And Walker Buehler's debut in a
00:21Padres uniform.
00:23I'm really excited for number
00:2410 Walker Buehler.
00:26We saw what he did in his career
00:27with the Dodgers when healthy we
00:29We talked about him in our open.
00:30He had some good outings in spring training.
00:32Had some high numbers, but in spring training, the main thing is that he's healthy.
00:35He's making a start tonight.
00:36Budley, here we go.
00:37Game one of a three-game series between the Padres and the Giants.
00:41And obviously trying to get on track here in San Diego.
00:44And so far, it looks like it's possible it could happen.
00:49Is Adamus with a leadoff single.
00:51Devers and Buehler were teammates last year with the Red Sox.
00:57There's a ground ball right side.
00:59Conoworth will go to second for one.
01:00The first for two.
01:02Out of work.
01:03Double play.
01:04The ground ball.
01:05There's that changeup.
01:06And there's that weak ground ball.
01:07Watch Jake spin and throw.
01:08A strike to Xander.
01:10Playing a little catch with Gavin Sheets.
01:12And he strikes out.
01:14Ramos went to the slider to get him.
01:16And a first strikeout in a Padre uniform for Walker Buehler.
01:19On the hill tonight for the Giants, making his first start of the year,
01:22will be the right-hander Landon Roop.
01:24Roop, 27 years of age.
01:26He's in his second year at the big league level.
01:28Last year, 22 starts, 7-7 with a 3-8-0 ERA.
01:32Is Cronenworth on the breaking ball in a switch?
01:35You're going to miss.
01:36So here is Manny, who homered in that game against Landon Roop last August,
01:41prior to the knee injury.
01:42Two out of eight with a double and four walks.
01:45Got him.
01:46Two strikeouts for Roop.
01:48A good hitting.
01:49Now the Giants are coming up.
01:50And it'll be the former Padre, Luisa Rice.
01:54Well, before the game tonight, Luisa Rice was given a video and a chance to say hello to the fans.
02:01And great tribute for him.
02:03And what a great man he is.
02:05We miss him.
02:05He was great.
02:07Elevates and Rice strikes out.
02:10It's a high cutter.
02:12So he struck out Ramos to close the first.
02:14He opens his second by getting Luisa Rice.
02:16Here's Matt Chapman.
02:18Grounds one right side softly.
02:20And Cronenworth from the outfield line.
02:22Fires to first.
02:23They got him.
02:24Well, you can hit it anywhere, but you can't hit it to the crowd zone.
02:28Sit back and enjoy and watch our adorable little second baseman at work.
02:33He's nearly by the second base bag.
02:35In one swift move while sliding, he gets rid of that rocket.
02:39A nice pick by Sheetz.
02:41Here it is again.
02:41On the move.
02:42One out.
02:43Nobody on.
02:44In the bottom of the second inning.
02:45Xander Bogarts the batter.
02:48Opps a field and a base hit for Xander Bogarts.
02:51For his Padre to reach tonight.
02:53Hands in.
02:54Barrel to the baseball.
02:56That's an inside-out swing.
02:58Sink inside the baseball.
03:00And a rifle in.
03:01Got him.
03:02Front door sink.
03:03And big movement back to the strike zone.
03:05This completely locked up.
03:07Cheats.
03:07Soriano, the only Padre to have homered so far this season.
03:11And remember, it was his comebacker that ended Landon Roop's season last August.
03:17Swing!
03:18You're going to miss.
03:19Another breaking ball.
03:20Four strikeouts for Roop for the Giants.
03:23Start of the third inning.
03:23No score.
03:24Padres and Giants.
03:25It's Bader a new Giant.
03:27Signed on a free agent deal late January.
03:30High drive to left.
03:32And it is out of here.
03:36The Giants have their first home run of the year.
03:39And it's one of the new Giants.
03:41Harrison Bader sprinting around the bases after making it 1-0 Giants.
03:47Look out.
03:52Look, that wasn't an 85-mile-an-hour breaking ball.
03:56That was 93.
03:59Yeah, 93 put a bruise on you.
04:01So, Schmidt had first one out and top of the order of Adamas, who singled the lead off the game.
04:09Adamas stroked one in the left field for a base hit to open up the game.
04:15You're going to challenge.
04:18Ooh.
04:20The college can find.
04:20San Diego loses a challenge.
04:22The fact that you're 0 for 1, you only got one challenge left.
04:25You can't get him back.
04:27Runner goes.
04:28And the pitch is a strike three call.
04:31Throw.
04:31It's second night in time.
04:33Stolen base.
04:34Casey Schmidt.
04:36The hitter is college challenging the strike call.
04:40The college can find.
04:42San Francisco loses a challenge.
04:44Strike three, the batter is out.
04:48Third strikeout for Buehler.
04:50And Adamas was convinced he was getting ball four and heading down to first base.
04:54Didn't work out.
04:551-0 Giants.
04:56And as we begin the fourth, and up comes Matt Chapman.
04:59Chapman shoots this one on the ground.
05:00And I'm underneath the glove of Cronenworth.
05:04107 miles an hour off the bat.
05:06He does.
05:08And it's ball four.
05:10So the switch hitting catcher Bailey stands in.
05:12Left-handed box against Buehler.
05:14Two on, two out.
05:15And a base hit.
05:16And here comes Chapman.
05:18He's going to score.
05:19And Bailey with his first hit of the year.
05:22And it's 2-0.
05:23Just kind of a flip shot into left field.
05:26But a two-out hit to drive in a run.
05:29That's got to feel good for Bailey.
05:31Up to middle.
05:32And another hit.
05:33And here comes Lee.
05:36Bailey's going to third.
05:37He's going to make it.
05:39And Schmidt with his first hit of the year.
05:41And it's 3-0.
05:53The last thing that Landon Rube wants is to give the Padres a rally with a walk.
06:00Ball four.
06:01He walks in.
06:02Lead off walk to begin the bottom of the fourth inning.
06:05No, no, no, no, no.
06:07There you go, Manny.
06:08He's going to challenge.
06:10ABS powered by T-Mobile.
06:11The header is challenging a strike off.
06:14Mr. Hand has the play tonight.
06:18There you have it.
06:20College on the counter to ball.
06:22Tapped on front of home plate.
06:23Root.
06:24He's going to get the share out at first.
06:27Sharply on the ground.
06:28And Schmidt makes a nice play to get the out.
06:31And he was playing a little bit closer to the line.
06:34And he needed every bit of that.
06:36Ball was scalded.
06:37One up top spin.
06:38It slides into it.
06:39Here's Bogarts.
06:40Tatis now at third with two down.
06:42Off the end of the bat.
06:44Adamas takes his time.
06:46Side retired.
06:48Lead off walk does not hurt Landon Rube.
06:50Rodriguez coming up.
06:51Bottom of the fifth inning.
06:52And they are playing from behind against the San Francisco Giants here tonight.
06:563-0.
06:57Got him.
06:583-2 what?
06:59A 3-2 changeup.
07:01And he swings at ball four.
07:03Got him.
07:03He did it again.
07:04A changeup that dipped down and out of the zone.
07:07And twice to three hitters with two strikes.
07:10He's thrown it.
07:11And gotten swings and misses from two of them.
07:14Camposano rather not to short his first time.
07:163-0.
07:17The Giants on top.
07:18Hit to third.
07:20Chapman playing catch with Schmidt.
07:23Side retired.
07:24Top of the order in the bottom of the sixth inning as the Padres try and get something going here
07:28against Landon Rube.
07:30Landon Rube has been money.
07:32And he got him.
07:34He went back up there.
07:36Seven strikeout for Rube.
07:37One out nobody on for Fernando.
07:39One of only three Padres to have reached tonight.
07:42The other way.
07:43Into right field.
07:44A base hit.
07:45And the second Padres hit of the ball game.
07:48Looked like it was a cutter.
07:50Let's see.
07:51Yep.
07:51Winded it away.
07:52It's in.
07:53Down by the label.
07:54And stays inside that one for the big, big neck to right.
07:58Little tapper.
08:00That's one.
08:01And a pair.
08:02That's six strong in the books.
08:04Only two hits allowed by Rube.
08:06Eight, nine and one for the Giants coming up against David Morgan who needed only ten pitches to get three
08:11outs last inning.
08:12Three nothing San Francisco.
08:14Down the line.
08:15Is it fair or foul?
08:17It's fair and it bounces over the wall.
08:19And Schmidt's got himself a double.
08:21That's a nasty pitch.
08:22Almost hit him in the back foot.
08:23But, well, he stays inside it.
08:26Rakes it down the line.
08:27Grounds one to third.
08:28Machado looks the runner back at second.
08:30And then fires to first.
08:32Two down.
08:33Two on, two out.
08:34And it sets up a righty-righty matchup here with Elliott Ramos who's 0 for three tonight.
08:38The grounder by the mound.
08:40The second base.
08:41Conorth will go to first for out number three.
08:43Keaton Wynn.
08:45Big, strong right-hander in for the Giants bullpen.
08:49Now, Ramon Laureano leads off against him.
08:51Got him.
08:52Good split.
08:54Got him.
08:56That's just your good old-fashioned grab some pine meat at bed.
09:00And a lot of people around baseball think this guy could close.
09:04Got him.
09:05Strikes out the side.
09:07Not a problem.
09:08Three nothing.
09:09The Giants ahead.
09:10All right.
09:10We mentioned Ryan Walker's sort of up and down relationship.
09:13with the closers role last season.
09:16In 24 save situations last year, his ERA was over seven.
09:21And his ball full.
09:22Four-pitch walk to start the bottom of the ninth inning.
09:24And the spot where the last thing in the world you want to do is give the Padres a base
09:30runner.
09:31Now, the other thing with Walker to be aware of as the sinker-slider guy that he is,
09:35very good ground ball pitcher.
09:37Tatis in his career against him, four out of eight with a couple of doubles.
09:41Got him.
09:43I mean, Luck's a nice comeback.
09:46Stayed with that slider.
09:48And it was up again.
09:50But it broke right off the outside part of the plate.
09:53And he got him.
09:54Cued off the end of the bat.
09:56Schmidt will go to the bag.
09:59Two down.
10:00So, two down.
10:01And here is Jackson Merrill, left-handed batter.
10:04Fly ball, right field, struck well.
10:07Lee going back, looking up, and it is gone!
10:11Two-run home run for Jackson.
10:13Merrill gets the Padres back within a run.
10:15Don't go anywhere just yet.
10:18A one-run game in the bottom of the ninth inning with two down.
10:22Jackson's first of the year.
10:23Now Bogarts.
10:25He's the possible tying run.
10:26Oh, boy.
10:28Dezabu all over again for Ryan Walker.
10:31Adamus on one hop.
10:33And that's the ball game.
10:35Tony Vitello wins his first game as the Giants manager.
10:40And the Giants get their first win of the year.
10:44And ultimately, it was not easy.
