00:01Brady Singer today coming off of a rather rough showing against the Marlins.
00:06Yeah, only two and two-thirds of an inning.
00:09He gave up ten hits.
00:11And that's certainly not the Brady Singer that we expect to see, especially tonight.
00:15Willie Adamas stands in.
00:17On the ground, softly hit.
00:20De La Cruz into a slide, and he can't make the exchange.
00:23And even with his unbelievably strong arm, I don't think he was going to have a play on that one.
00:28That's a hit for Adamas.
00:29Now, Chapman lifetime against Singer is seven for ten.
00:32Runner goes, good break, pitch, miss, throw down, pretty good one, out!
00:37Despite the jump, Adamas gets cut down, caught stealing by Stevenson and McLean, two to four.
00:43You see this from a lot of catchers throwing the ball on the first base side of the bag.
00:49This is chopped to short.
00:50De La Cruz in the outfield green, showing off that arm, got him.
00:54Well, we went to break thinking Giants were retired, but the Giants asked for a replay review.
00:59The question is, when the ball first hit the glove, was a part of his cleat on the bag?
01:04It turns out Chapman's safe at first.
01:06Brings up Rafi Devers, a 360 lifetime bat against Cincinnati.
01:14This is sale to center.
01:16Dane Myers.
01:19And now the end zone.
01:20Robbie Ray.
01:21Yeah, the left, he'll be making his fourth start of the season.
01:24Numbers are great.
01:26It's 2-1 with the 2.08 and 17 in the third innings pitched.
01:29Strike out an inning.
01:30Dane Myers' fourth start as a red, his first time leading off for Cincinnati.
01:34He got it.
01:35He threw a nasty slider.
01:37That's exactly the way he wants to throw it.
01:40Robbie Ray wins that eight-pitch battle.
01:42Now, Ellie De La Cruz with a runner at first base and one out.
01:45Ellie's been swinging the bat well.
01:47De La Cruz out of the left center with a lot of carry.
01:52All the way back at the wall to make the catch.
01:55That was 1-0-3 and a half off the bat.
01:57Didn't leave the yard.
01:58Now the batter is Sal Stewart.
01:59There goes McClain.
02:00Pitch taken.
02:01Bailey's throw.
02:02Tag.
02:02He is out.
02:04All right.
02:05Good start.
02:06Points of emphasis.
02:07Well taken.
02:08Patrick Bailey throws out McClain.
02:11Jung-Hoo Lee now with one out.
02:13Lee ahead of the count 2-1.
02:14On the ground into the hole.
02:16That's nice hitting from Jung-Hoo Lee.
02:19That's exactly what you want Jung-Hoo Lee to do right there.
02:21The ball out over the plate.
02:22Just slap it the other way.
02:24That shortstop's playing almost at second base.
02:26Lee moves to second.
02:27And here comes Patrick Bailey.
02:30The payoff.
02:32Sail to left.
02:33Steer.
02:35He does just that.
02:36And strands Lee at second base.
02:39Stewart was at the plate when McClain was caught stealing to end the first.
02:44Stewart went around.
02:45That's a strikeout for Robbie Ray.
02:47Used the slider to get him.
02:49Nasty pitch there.
02:51Eugenio Suarez now will be the batter.
02:532-2.
02:54He went around.
02:56Ball was not handled cleanly.
02:57But Suarez is out.
02:59Another good slider.
03:00Almost the exact same pitch he threw to Sal Stewart and he had batted before.
03:03Now the first plate appearance in the big league since late July for Reese Hines.
03:083-2.
03:09He got him.
03:11Slider for Robbie Ray.
03:13And he strikes out the side.
03:14Spencer Steer leading off here for Cincinnati.
03:18That's driven some carry to left center.
03:23And gone!
03:25Steer yanks one of the gap his third of the season and the Reds claim a 1-0 lead.
03:31Really good to see Spencer Steer get another ball elevated this time with a slider.
03:38Tyler Stevenson.
03:40Got it.
03:41Fastball at 95 miles an hour.
03:44Strike three.
03:45Eight batters faced.
03:46He has struck out five of them.
03:47Ray seems visibly frustrated at times with his command.
03:51Myers takes the walk and it'll get Matt McClain to the plate.
03:57McClain pops it up.
03:58Behind second.
04:00Arise calls off Adamas.
04:03And Arise has it.
04:04Rafi Devers to lead off.
04:08Corkscrews over top of that one.
04:10First strikeout tonight for Sink.
04:12You throw the Sink or down the zone with two strikes specifically against lefties because they like that ball down
04:17and in.
04:18Two down.
04:19Chung-Hoo Lee.
04:20He rips that one to right field.
04:22That's going to be a hit.
04:23One hop up against the wall.
04:25Lee speeding his way to second.
04:27And Chung-Hoo Lee is two for two.
04:29He's got a double.
04:30Yeah.
04:31And he finally got a pitch down that he can handle.
04:33And that's the hard part as a pitcher is that you know how you want to get a hitter out.
04:37But if you make a mistake down, this is where Chung-Hoo Lee can make you pay.
04:40Elliot Ramos.
04:41He is big time in swing mode these days.
04:43He could use a hit.
04:46Set to left center.
04:49Myers concedes to steer.
04:50Two out double by Chung-Hoo Lee.
04:52And that's all.
04:53I think if you're Robbie Ray, this is the way you want to face Ellie De La Cruz.
04:56And that's with nobody on base.
04:59He got him with the change-up.
05:01How about it?
05:02The third pitch that we would have picked.
05:04And a really good one.
05:06That was a really good one.
05:07Now Sal Stewart's the batter.
05:08And it's full.
05:09Back-to-back Reds work full counts.
05:11Second time seeing Ray.
05:15All driven to right center by the Rook.
05:18And out of the yard.
05:20Stewart slugs again.
05:23His team leading fifth.
05:25Two-nothing Cincinnati.
05:26It's a deadlock with De La Cruz.
05:29These two young talents are pounding baseball.
05:32Sal kept that back foot down and powered that ball.
05:35Ball four.
05:36More frustration shown here by Robbie Ray.
05:39Now Reese Hines will come to the plate.
05:42That one popped up.
05:44Shallow center.
05:45Kind of no man's land.
05:46It'll be Adamas.
05:48Nice catch.
05:49Over-the-shoulder style.
05:50So here's Steer.
05:52On the ground to third.
05:53Chapman charges.
05:55Throws on the move.
05:56Got him.
05:57Out number three.
05:58Willie's been Mr. Extra Base Hit.
06:00Huge percentage of his overall hits have been extra base hits.
06:05Adamas to left field.
06:06And deep.
06:07And it is gone.
06:10Into the second level.
06:12Willie Adamas.
06:13Giants are on the board.
06:14It's two to one.
06:15What do you say about Mr. Extra Base Hit?
06:18There he is.
06:19His third home run of the year for Willie.
06:21He knew he got that one.
06:23Out number one.
06:24Devers 0 for three tonight.
06:25So here's Casey Schmidt.
06:28Got drilled.
06:30Up and in.
06:31Yikes.
06:31He gets hit more than anybody.
06:33He does.
06:33Puts the tying run on here for the Giants.
06:35And Jung-Hoo Lee who's had some great at-bats tonight.
06:38Up the middle off Singer ricochets to Stewart in foul ground.
06:42He finds the back for a force.
06:43Just hope Singer's okay.
06:45He's walking somewhat gingerly.
06:47He was 96 off the bat.
06:49He's glad that it was down there.
06:50Like it maybe hit him in the side of the foot.
06:53And it looks like he's all right.
06:55He'll stay in.
06:56And a big at-bat in this game for Elliott Ramos.
06:58He was up in this exact same situation in the fourth inning.
07:01Runner at second.
07:02Two down.
07:04Chopped left side.
07:05De La Cruz on the backhand.
07:08Works around the hit batter.
07:10Killian has to face the heart of the order.
07:12Klain is aboard with a leadoff walk here in the sixth.
07:15Elliott up there from the left side against the right-handed thrower.
07:18Sends that up the middle center field base hit.
07:22McLean claims second.
07:23Elliott De La Cruz on base at 14 straight.
07:27Reds have been much maligned with men in scoring position.
07:30The worst average by 30 plus points in the big leagues early this year.
07:34So Killian needed a strikeout.
07:36Got one there.
07:38And now Eugenio Suarez is the batter.
07:41On the ground.
07:42Adamas.
07:43There's one.
07:44Arise.
07:45Got him.
07:45Double play.
07:47Great turn.
07:48And young Caleb Killian gets through it with some help from his defense.
07:53This is Singer going down with Terry Francona following him down there.
07:57Now Singer took off his right shoe and then walked very gingerly up the tunnel towards the training room.
08:04First out of the Reds' pen is Graham Ashcraft.
08:07Graham's been really solid down the bullpen.
08:09That's out number one.
08:10Giants would love to get Jared Oliva on here in a one-run game.
08:14Ashcraft back to the plate.
08:16Swing and a miss.
08:17That ball was a two or three feet outside for strike three.
08:21Here's Willie Adamas.
08:23Got it.
08:25One-two-three for Ashcraft.
08:27Santillat in seven innings.
08:29He has given up five walks, Sean.
08:32But he's allowed one hit in seven innings so far this year.
08:36Arise.
08:36Light drive into center field.
08:38Take that.
08:39Your one hit.
08:40He's just doubled the number of hits that equaled the number of hits that Santillat has given up all year.
08:45Giants got some action here in the eighth.
08:47Lead-off hitter on.
08:48Tying run aboard.
08:49Now Matt Chapman.
08:51Chapman on the ground to short.
08:52That could be two.
08:53De La Cruz.
08:54There's one.
08:54McLean to first.
08:56Got him double play.
08:58Two down.
08:59That hurts.
09:00Yeah, that does.
09:01That's unfortunate.
09:02The two-out walk here in the eighth inning.
09:04And that brings up Casey Schmidt.
09:06I mean, in this ballpark, you're one swing away from a run.
09:08And in this case, one swing away from taking a lead.
09:11One-two.
09:12Check swing.
09:13Did he go?
09:14Yes!
09:14Punched out on a peel.
09:15Tony Santillat, stoic as he is, showing all kind of emotion.
09:21Entering today, no closer.
09:23Had more than five saves in the show.
09:25Emilio Pagan bids for his fifth in six tries.
09:29Pagan and out of lane.
09:30Daniel Susak is off the bench to hit for Patrick Bailey here in the ninth inning.
09:37Drives this ball to the left center.
09:38Benson, who is added for defense.
09:41Got it.
09:42A one-two-three ninth for Pagan.
09:44A concerning look on the face of Pagan.
09:48He seemed to wince visibly after releasing this pitch.
09:52Well, a really well-pitched game tonight.
09:55The Reds are now 8-0.
09:57And games decided by two runs or less.
09:59They take the opener against the Giants.
10:02Two to one.
