00:01It's the final series of the regular season, a pair of 90-win teams.
00:05So the Mariners and the Dodgers both have clinched.
00:09Who knows who will play much this weekend.
00:11Three of the top five home run hitters in all of baseball right here this series.
00:16It's going to be a packed house not just today, but all three games, I believe, sold out.
00:19Mariners and Dodgers, a lot of fun this series.
00:21George Kirby is on the mound.
00:23He is 10-7, coming away with back-to-back wins his last two times out.
00:27And here we go, Otani, three-time most valuable player, one of the greatest players we've seen in the game
00:34of baseball.
00:35Swing and a miss.
00:3798 up and in, pinpoint from Kirby.
00:40He's feeling up and in here early, striking out one of the best to ever do it.
00:45Here's Andy Paz.
00:46Swing and a miss.
00:47Good breaking ball from Kirby.
00:49He strikes out the first two Dodgers that he faces tonight.
00:51He looks dulled in, coming off of those last couple of stops.
00:54Michael Conforto, local product, Seattle-born, hit his high school ball at Redmond High before starring at Oregon State.
01:01Swing and a miss.
01:03George Kirby just spitting flames in the first inning.
01:07He strikes out the side in order.
01:09From starting pitcher Emmett Sheehan.
01:11Sheehan getting the start for the Dodgers here in game one.
01:13Right-handed batter is Rosarena, former Tampa Bay Rays, 235 hitter here.
01:19Next pitch coming to Randy.
01:20Chopped off the plate.
01:21And this will be a tough one.
01:24Randy is aboard.
01:25An infield base hit.
01:26Man aboard in front of Cal Raleigh.
01:28Cal Raleigh, a catcher with 60 home runs.
01:30Never been done for.
01:31Probably will never be done again.
01:33And I think the MVP should be for the never-before scene.
01:36And Cal season is the epitome of the unprecedented.
01:39Here's the stretch and the pitch on the way to Cal.
01:42And it's low and inside.
01:43And the ball gets on by Rourke.
01:45But the catcher, a wild pitch, the ball goes all the way to the Mariners' first base dugout.
01:50And on the play, Randy will get into second base.
01:53Emmett Sheehan puts him away.
01:55That's big.
01:55I mean, this thing just continues to move in on the hands.
01:58In fact, Cal missed that pitch by a good four to five inches.
02:01That brings up Julio.
02:02One out and a runner at second.
02:04That's a Rosarena.
02:05Well, this ball clocked on a line.
02:07And he...
02:07Oh, it's misplayed by Conforto!
02:10A Rosarena can come on home.
02:13That was an absolute rocket.
02:161-15 off the bat of Julio.
02:19And it leads to the first run of the ball game.
02:22Man, that left a vapor drill behind.
02:24Conforto misplays it.
02:26See him kind of overrun it, then try to jump back up.
02:28Definitely go down as an E7.
02:30So the Dodgers just giving the Mariners extra bases to start.
02:33A really sloppy start.
02:35Wild pitch.
02:36Errors in left.
02:37So the infield comes in for the Dodgers.
02:39Still only one out in the first inning.
02:41Sheehan, on the other side, George Kirby can do with a fastball up at the zone.
02:45Comes right back 95.
02:46Yeah, try to catch up to that in your kitchen.
02:48A 2-2 pitch.
02:50Gets him at 97.
02:52So, six combined strikeouts in the first inning.
02:55Where she and Kirby, the Mariners lead 1-0.
02:58As we go to the top half of the second on a beautiful Friday night here in Seattle.
03:02While the Mariners, Oscar Hernandez will lead things off.
03:05Swing and a miss.
03:06Four straight strikeouts for George Kirby to begin the ballgame tonight.
03:10This is not just a tune-up, get you working before the postseason starts.
03:14This is foot on the gas pedal.
03:16Two outs and Miguel Rojas is the batter.
03:19Steve Brown, he's got to play on this one.
03:22He has room.
03:256-7, 6-7, George Kirby.
03:27Sheehan is done.
03:2822 pitches, 14 strikes, one inning, an unearned run, three Ks, one hit.
03:33So, Justin Robleski will take the ball for the bottom of the second.
03:36And now the Mariners have runners at first and second with one out for Cole Young.
03:41Fly ball right center field to Oscar Hernandez on the edge of the warning track.
03:46Makes the catch.
03:48Raley's going to tag from second and go to third.
03:50Crawford will hold it first.
03:51Turns the lineup over.
03:52Randy Rosarena let off the game with a swinging bunt infield single.
03:57Strike three, Cole 97 on the inside corner.
04:01And Robleski strands a pair.
04:04Keeps the Dodgers within one.
04:05Just like the Mariners, the Dodgers' first hit.
04:08An infield chopper on the left side of the diamond.
04:11So, a runner on for Kike Hernandez on a 3-1.
04:15He'll let it rip.
04:16Torch the ball to left field.
04:17Turn and watch it fly.
04:20Kike crushes one as he continues to gear up toward October.
04:24Just don't tell him it's not October yet because that's what we've seen.
04:28Last few games from Kike Hernandez, just a different hitter.
04:30Just that switch being turned already.
04:33The significant games being played last week.
04:36The bigger the hits that have come from Kike Hernandez.
04:39Here's the 3-1 inside.
04:41And that is a walk for Otani.
04:43There goes Otani for second base.
04:45Pretty good jump, too.
04:46And he slides.
04:47And he is safe.
04:48And Shohei Otani with his 20th stolen base.
04:50He hasn't been stealing as much this year since he's been back pitching.
04:55But now he's got another 20 stolen base season.
04:58Here's Kyle Rawley standing in from the right side.
05:00The pitch swung on.
05:01Smoked into left field.
05:02A base hit.
05:03Kyle jumps all over the first pitch.
05:06Drives it into left field.
05:07And Kyle aboard with a single.
05:08Runners on the corners.
05:10Here's Geno looking for number 50.
05:13Naylor waltz is in.
05:17He's got his 30th stolen base this year.
05:21Josh Naylor has become just the fourth first baseman in history with 20 homers and 30 stolen bases in a
05:30year.
05:3140th pitch of the game for Robleski.
05:33Swarovs hits within the air left center field.
05:36Tagging at third is Rawley.
05:38Catch is made by Potthead.
05:39The throw is going to third.
05:40Naylor going to third.
05:42For the tag.
05:43They got him.
05:45No run is the call on the field.
05:49And apparently the scouting report on Andy Potthead's right arm has not yet reached the Pacific Northwest.
05:56It's the Dodgers two.
05:57Mariners one.
05:58We go to the top of the fifth inning.
06:00Kike Hernandez will lead it off.
06:0110th strikeout tonight for George Kirby.
06:04That'll bring up Andy Pias.
06:06Pias is 0 for 2 on the night.
06:08Lashed the opposite way.
06:10Kanzone makes the catch.
06:13George Kirby his final tune-up of the regular season looks to be done at this point tonight after a
06:19really strong start tonight.
06:20Now he has been dominant for a long stretch.
06:23Close take.
06:24Ninety-eight at the knees and it goes Randy's way.
06:27A man aboard with a one out for Cal Rawley.
06:31Rosarena.
06:31A headlong slide into second base.
06:34Second time in a Rosarena's career with a 30 stolen base season.
06:39I think it's a good time to take off.
06:40Two strike count.
06:41You guys get a breakable down and in.
06:43Very rare you're going to get a fastball to catch the throne in that situation.
06:46No player in Major League history has ever done that in 20 or more home runs on both sides of
06:52the plate.
06:53Yes, he did.
06:55Kline punches out.
06:57Rowley did a great job of setting it up and then coming back with the curveball.
07:00And you see it bounce in front of home plate.
07:02Great call.
07:03He did go.
07:03Extra runs on for the Dodgers in the sixth.
07:05First and second.
07:06Two down.
07:06Rushing starting at first base tonight with Freddie Freeman getting the day off.
07:10Line drive.
07:11Base hit right field for Rushing.
07:13Green light for Conforto.
07:14The throw home is off target.
07:16And Dalton rushing with two outs drives and a run.
07:19It's 3-1 Dodgers.
07:21Desper levels rise here at T-Mobile Park.
07:23And now the home crowd rises.
07:26Here's Don Canzone.
07:2811 home runs on the season.
07:29Tying runs aboard.
07:31And to go ahead and run at the plate.
07:33Out to right field.
07:35Teoscar was playing deep.
07:37It's a base hit.
07:38Garver's coming home.
07:39Raley into third.
07:40It's a one-run game.
07:42Dom Canzone drives in a man.
07:44Well, here we go to the bottom of the ninth inning.
07:46It's the Dodgers three and the Mariners two.
07:48Tanner Scott.
07:5022 out of 32 in save opportunities.
07:52Cal Raleigh with a two-out double down the left field line.
07:56His second base hit tonight.
07:58Tying run is in scoring position and the winning run coming to the plate.
08:02So, Julio will get the intentional walk.
08:05Dave Roberts doesn't want to mess with Julio.
08:07And that will leave it up to Mitch Garber looking for a base hit.
08:11Did it get him?
08:11It got him.
08:12And the bases are loaded.
08:13Just nicked.
08:14It looked like outside of the right forearm.
08:17I mean, that's just basically putting your arm in front of the pitch.
08:20The Mariners have the bases loaded with two outs for A.U.
08:25Haneo Suarez.
08:27And you talk about history.
08:29Geno is sitting on 49 home runs on the season.
08:33That's a win for L.A.
08:35The Mariners leave them loaded in the bottom of the ninth.
08:38The Dodgers hang on to win the opener.
08:40The Mariners, the Mariners, the Mariners, the Mariners.
