00:01It's time for the Vedder Cup. Second year of the Vedder Cup. Of course, Eddie Vedder is so connected to
00:07both these great West Coast cities, both to Seattle and San Diego.
00:11Love to see good teams pairing up early. Kind of gives you a sense of where each team is as
00:14they try to find themselves.
00:16The Padres are rolling. They have won five in a row. They have won nine of eleven. The Mariners, well,
00:21they're playing well too. They've won four in a row. Something's got to get here tonight, right?
00:26Great. Michael King on the mound for the Padres today. Three starts into his season. 3-2-4 ERA. Three
00:31starts as a Padre against the Mariners in the last couple of years. A 2-7-6 ERA.
00:36Cal is sitting on the precipice of a milestone base hit. His next base hit will be number 500.
00:443-2 pitch. Swung on and missed. Strike three. Slider kind of floated towards the outside part of the plate.
00:50Two down here in the top of the first inning.
00:52Now J-Rod, who's hit in four straight, he's starting to find his groove. Swing and a miss. Strike three.
00:57Back to the sweeper and back-to-back.
00:59He's 10-2-1-2-3. Top of the first.
01:01Brian Wu's got really good numbers against this Padres team.
01:05He's not messing around, Mike. This guy's not nibbling. He's not trying to use off-speed. He's coming right at
01:09you with the heater.
01:10Three pitches and the first strikeout comes right away for Brian Wu.
01:14So right away, one away for the Padres.
01:16Now Jackson Merrill with two outs. Nobody on. Merrill two for three with a home run on Sunday against the
01:22Rockies.
01:231-2. It's up the middle into center field. A base hit for Jackson Merrill.
01:26So a two-out knock here for Merrill brings this to Manning Machado.
01:29Not much success against Wu. 0-4-9 with four Ks for Manning.
01:33Julio coming in on this. And he's got a medium-depth center field to retire the side. A man left.
01:39An infield base hit. A bunt base hit. And now a hit batter.
01:43And the Mariners have him loaded up without the ball getting out of the infield.
01:46This is the at-bat right here with Dom Canzone. There's one out here. You've got the bases loaded.
01:51You've got to find a way to come away here with at least a run.
01:54And Mariners did that kind of thing much better in those four games against the Astros.
01:58Out towards center field. Merrill covering some ground.
02:02Rosarana tags. And he makes his way home. And Dom Canzone does exactly that.
02:07He gets the job done and gets the first run across in the ballgame. 1-0 Mariners.
02:10And now here's Cole Young with a chance to drive in a run with a base hit.
02:14That's the fourth three-ball count from King first time through the order.
02:18Almost to 40 pitches now after a 1-2-3 first.
02:21And the Mariners making them work here in the second inning.
02:23Taken on the inside corner. Strike three called. And Young is going to challenge.
02:28Strike three called. Mariners get a run on two hits. They leave him at the corners.
02:32Here's a ground ball. Kicks off second base. And into right field. A base hit for Xander Bogart.
02:37Sometimes it is better to be lucky than good. And a leadoff single here at the bottom of the second.
02:42Also at a first. And we've got a balk charge to Brian Wu. And he can't believe it.
02:47That turns out to be a big play. The balk sends the tying run over to second base.
02:51That takes away the double play. And Ty France is up there.
02:54Ty swinging a pop-up. Out near the bag at second.
02:57Cole Young is there. And Cole makes the easy catch. And that is out number two.
03:02So a mighty big second out for Brian Wu.
03:05So now two down. Bogarts at second base. Luis Camposano coming up.
03:09He sends this out to shallow right center field. Julio is there to retire the side.
03:14So Bogarts after that balk is stranded at second base.
03:18So they get the forced play at second. Julio safe at first on the fielder's choice.
03:23So there's two outs. That brings up Josh Naylor.
03:26Swung on line. Drive right field. Tatis over. He's not going to get there.
03:29It's down. It's a hit. Julio around second. He's flying to third.
03:33He'll hold up there. Josh Naylor with the base hit.
03:35And the Mariners threatening once again. Runners at first and third with two outs.
03:40Randy Rosarena will spot this season with two outs of runners in scoring position.
03:44Two for eight.
03:45The pitch swung on and missed. Strike three. Got a fastball pass to Rosarena.
03:49And now five strikeouts in three innings for Michael King.
03:52Top of the order. Here's Laureano.
03:53Four for 10 in his last three games with two home runs, a double, and five RBIs.
03:59Laureano hits it hard in the air to right field.
04:01Raley's backing up onto the track at the wall.
04:03Turns around. And it's off the top of the wall.
04:06Laureano going to try for three.
04:07And he gets there with a headfirst slide.
04:10First triple of the year for Ramon Laureano.
04:13And you talk about slug.
04:14Another extra base hit for the Padre leadoff man.
04:17And all this man does is slug.
04:19Ferrander's going to bring the infield in against Fernando.
04:23Padre's down 1-0 in the third.
04:25Tying run 90 feet away.
04:27Up the middle and the center field.
04:28A base hit for Fernando.
04:29From third comes Laureano.
04:31This game is tied at one.
04:33Toddy does the simple thing.
04:34Finds some outfield grass right up the middle just past the guy.
04:37Picks up his 400th RBI of his career and ties this game up at one.
04:42Now Jackson Merrill getting his second look at Brian Wu.
04:45Fernando goes on a line drive to right field.
04:47It's in for a base hit.
04:49Fernando keeps on going to third.
04:51Jackson Merrill's two for two.
04:53Padres have runners at the corners with one away.
04:56Raleigh does not throw down.
04:57And kind of a freebie there for Jackson.
04:59His fourth steal of the year.
05:00Into scoring position now.
05:01Two down.
05:02So a base hit here could really put some distance between the Padres and the Mariners.
05:06To center field.
05:07And that's going to get in for a hit.
05:09Fernando from third.
05:10Here comes Jackson Merrill.
05:11Padres take a 3-1 lead.
05:13It's a mistake from Wu.
05:15It's in the middle of the plate.
05:16And Xander gets jammed a little bit.
05:18But it's on the line.
05:19Dumps it in the center field.
05:21Padres pick up two.
05:22They take a 3-1 lead.
05:24And now he's at first with two down for Sheetz.
05:26Fly ball shallow.
05:28Crawford out.
05:29Julio in.
05:30And J.P. Crawford.
05:32Basket catch.
05:34Phenomenal play by the gold lover.
05:36Second walk allowed by Michael Caine.
05:39Josh Naylor.
05:39I think we're at two down.
05:41And Julio Rodriguez at first.
05:421-0.
05:43It was picked at first base by France.
05:46That's a gold glove first baseman down there.
05:49Ty France.
05:50What a play by Ty France against his old team.
05:52Then the top of the fifth inning.
05:54Ty.
05:55Even the front.
05:57Oriano, Tatis, and Merrill.
05:591-2-3.
05:59Coming up against Brian Wu in the bottom of the fifth inning.
06:02Swung on.
06:03Ground ball.
06:03Off the middle.
06:04Way to his left.
06:05Here's J.P.
06:06Shumbles it to Young.
06:07The throw to first by Cole.
06:09And it's not in time.
06:10Even though he has saved it.
06:12That is one heck of a baseball play by the Mariners.
06:15Wow.
06:15And a man on for Manny Machado.
06:17Pops this up.
06:18Shallow right field.
06:19Cole Young.
06:20Drifting out there.
06:21To put it away.
06:22A score to spit from Brian Wu.
06:24Michael King is throwing the gem.
06:26He's got a two-run lead.
06:26This is into right field.
06:28A Rosarena with a base hit.
06:30And the Mariners bring the tie and run up here in the sixth right away.
06:33Mariners have had traffic in this one.
06:35Here's Luke.
06:36He has singled his walk.
06:37Raley swings.
06:38Lines it into left center.
06:39Laureano going over and back.
06:41He will leap up and make the catch on the warning track.
06:45Rosarena's got to hustle back to first base.
06:47And he will.
06:48And boy, Laureano.
06:49Long way to go.
06:50Squared it up.
06:51Hopped up at the last moment.
06:53Made the play.
06:53One down.
06:54Or one out.
06:55Crawford the batter with a Rosarena at first base.
06:57On the ground.
06:59It's Machado who goes to second to one.
07:01On the first for two.
07:02Inning-ending double play.
07:04Six strong from Michael King.
07:06Perfect night so far for Xander.
07:08Two for two.
07:08Including a tie-breaking two-run single in the third inning.
07:11Up the middle.
07:12Young.
07:13Tricky play.
07:14On a skip.
07:14The stretch.
07:15And in time.
07:17Cole Young is playing some kind of second base to begin the year.
07:21That is just the first free pass of the night.
07:24Robbed by Wu.
07:25So now Ty France with Sheets at first.
07:28And one out.
07:29Swung on.
07:30Hot shot right to Naylor.
07:31Makes the catch.
07:31A place.
07:32The tag to Sheets.
07:33Trying to get back to first.
07:34The double play.
07:36What goes around comes around, Ty France.
07:38As Naylor turns the DP.
07:41Top of the seventh inning.
07:42And a pitching change for the Padres.
07:44Who got a 3-1 lead over the Seattle Mariners.
07:47More at home.
07:47Trying for this 1-2-3 inning.
07:49With the Padres ahead by two.
07:51Pitch here in the air to left center field.
07:53Jackson Merrill backing up into the gap.
07:55He's there.
07:55He makes the catch.
07:56And Adrian Morehon with a very 20-25 like appearance.
08:01Puts the Mariners down.
08:021-2-3.
08:04So this is a big spot with a run at second base.
08:07Mariners down by two.
08:09Two outs.
08:10Tatis and RBI base hit in the third.
08:12Swung on.
08:13Little cue shot.
08:14It takes weird spin.
08:15It's picked up by Naylor.
08:17Goes to the bag himself.
08:18Steps on first.
08:19That's the out.
08:20Brian Wu does it again.
08:22Seven strong.
08:23Gives up just three runs against the San Diego Padres.
08:26Now the Bears need two.
08:27We move to Jason Adams.
08:29Well he is back.
08:30And the last two games they were back-to-back nights.
08:33It was Friday and Saturday against Colorado.
08:35And he did not disappoint.
08:37You do not see this very often.
08:39Julio pretty excited about that as he helps bring the tying run to the plate.
08:43A multi-walk game for Julio.
08:45This is the goal.
08:46Be able to bring the tying run to the plate.
08:48And here's Naylor.
08:50Naylor swings.
08:50Grounds it to first.
08:51Backhanded by France.
08:52Goes to second one.
08:53Bogarts back to first.
08:54In time and a double play.
08:56Little 3-6-3 to bring the top of the eighth to a close.
09:01After seven and a half.
09:02Padres three.
09:03Mariners one.
09:04It would be nice for the Padres to take out a policy in this inning.
09:08Attain some insurance.
09:09And there's that insurance at second base.
09:12It's a one out Merrill at third base.
09:14And Xander Bogarts with the infield in all the way around.
09:17Bogarts has already driven in two runs in this game.
09:19Two hits in the game.
09:21Reaches out.
09:21Pokes it into right field for a base hit.
09:23From third comes Merrill.
09:25Those are insurance.
09:26It's 4-1 San Diego.
09:28Three hit game.
09:29Three RBI game for Xander Bogarts.
09:31Much in the same way he got the first two.
09:34He gets the last one.
09:35Dumps it in the right field.
09:37Padres lead 4-1 here in the eighth.
09:39It is a safe situation.
09:41So you know what that means.
09:42It's closing time for Mason Miller.
09:44Well it's been impressive.
09:4519 of 24 strikeouts.
09:48This is unbelievable.
09:4919 strikeouts as Don mentioned.
09:52And he's only faced 24 batters.
09:54That's Don.
09:54That's Onage.
09:56Popped up.
09:57In his shallow right.
09:58Out is Cronenworth.
09:59In is Tatis.
10:00San Fernando secures out number one.
10:03Can't be able to put it in play.
10:05But it's a routine fly ball out to right field.
10:07One away for Luke Raley.
10:09Stuck him out.
10:11Slider.
10:12Two down in the ninth inning.
10:13Get up on top.
10:14Let it rip.
10:15Look at the tilt on that pitch.
10:17Good luck trying to square that one up.
10:19Now J.P.
10:19Crawford who has never struck out against Mason Miller in four at-bats.
10:23On the ground right side.
10:25Cronenworth to first.
10:26Ball game over.
10:28Padres win.
10:29They have won six straight.
10:31It's the longest winning streak in Major League Baseball this season.
