00:01And Brown top step, and the Cubs make their way out onto the field.
00:07J.D., he's been fun to watch, and when he is around the strike zone with those two pitches,
00:13the fastball and the curveball, he's usually in pretty good shape.
00:18But whether they're competitive pitches or not, at least pitches, you know,
00:23deem possibly that the hitter is going to swing at him or possibly be called a strike.
00:29Those are the big factors.
00:31Yeah, obviously, the stuff plays, you know, mid-90s fastball,
00:35that good, sharp, breaking pitch, and he throws it and play big time.
00:38The Friday in Milwaukee sits in his scoreless.
00:41He threw up better than 70% first pitch strikes out was a real key for him.
00:45The big, tall right-hander, Ben Brown, on the mound, facing Mike Yastrzemski.
00:50Outside, it's another walk.
00:54Yastrzemski getting a board to start it off, and the batter will be Willie Adamas.
00:58Adamas on the ground, and that is a fair ball.
01:01Bernie's going to make a throw, but he had absolutely no chance.
01:05And Willie Adamas is aboard with an infield hit.
01:08And right after the nine-run inning, let's back it up with a little threat.
01:12Give him a shimmy.
01:13Nice piece of hit, a little two-strike hit, and put it in your pocket.
01:17Two on for the Giants to start this game.
01:19Nobody out.
01:20Jung-Hoo leaves first at bat against the righty-brown.
01:23And then popped up.
01:25Carson Kelly looking and makes the catch.
01:30Lee looked a little disgusted that that one stayed in play.
01:34Kelly for out number one.
01:36And here comes Matt Chapman down.
01:38Chapman 25-7 home runs.
01:41And that is in there.
01:43Got him.
01:44Chad Fairchild rings up Matt Chapman.
01:46It says, excuse me.
01:50Talk about fastball command.
01:51He just puffs that one right over the outside corner at 95 miles per hour.
01:55So Giants had two on nobody out.
01:57Now two on two outs.
01:59And there are RBI guys so far this year.
02:02Wilmer Flores at the end.
02:03Flores into right field.
02:04Sinking fast.
02:05It's going to get down.
02:06Base hit.
02:07Yastrzemski will come in to score.
02:09The throw goes toward third, but off line.
02:12Wilmer does it again.
02:13It's 1-0 Giants.
02:15Are you not entertained?
02:17And it's just a classic stay inside the baseball.
02:21Fight the good fight with two strikes.
02:23Lays off the curveball.
02:24And this is why you walk him with runners in scoring position and two outs.
02:27He just has such a beautiful path.
02:29Look at this right there.
02:30Just short to it.
02:32And now Elliot Ramos.
02:34And the pitch swinging.
02:35A ground ball to third.
02:36Fielded by a birdie.
02:37Go to second.
02:38There is the force.
02:40And that's the inning.
02:41The Giants left-hander who has really been pitching well, Robbie Ray.
02:45Robbie Ray, 4-0.
02:473-0-5 ERA.
02:4838 in the third innings.
02:5041 strikeouts to just 21 walks.
02:53Can get a little erratic.
02:55Effectively wild, as we like to say.
02:57Cubs are tough against lefties.
02:58They have got good numbers against left-handed pitching.
03:02Swing.
03:02And there's a high fly ball to left against the wind.
03:05Starting back is Ramos.
03:06Now he comes racing in.
03:07Still coming in.
03:08And makes the catch.
03:10Well, there, I think, was a good indication of what the wind will do to it.
03:15Because he started back on that one.
03:17And he had to come sprinting in.
03:20So, one out.
03:21And here is Kyle Tucker.
03:23Now, there's a swing and a high drive in the right field.
03:25Here's Jastrzemski.
03:27Jastrzemski angling to his left and onto the warning track.
03:31Makes the catch.
03:32Out number two.
03:34And here is Seiya Suzuki.
03:38Now, there's a hard grounder up the middle.
03:39It hits the pitcher's mound.
03:40It was really a line drive that hit the mound.
03:42It took a big, long hop to cause the second baseman going to his right.
03:47And he throws him out to end the inning.
03:50Sam Huff.
03:50Five Pro Bowls.
03:51He was an outstanding player.
03:54Swing and a miss.
03:55Strike three.
03:56Ben Brown strikes out Sam Huff.
04:00Two down.
04:00Second strikeout for Ben Brown.
04:03Christian Koss.
04:04With two down and nobody on.
04:06The Giants ahead.
04:06One to nothing.
04:07Second inning.
04:08Here's a smash up the middle.
04:09Backhanded by Horner.
04:10Behind second.
04:11Good play by Nico.
04:12Throws to first in time.
04:14One, two, three inning for Ben Brown.
04:17That's a vibe.
04:18Definitely a vibe.
04:19That whole thing right there is a vibe.
04:23Possible those two are questioning.
04:25We only wore t-shirts today.
04:28It's possible.
04:29I don't know.
04:29They seem to be comfortable.
04:31Swing and a miss.
04:32He struck it out.
04:34Great curveball.
04:35Real sharp.
04:36Hard curveball.
04:37His first strikeout.
04:39You know, what we've got here today is it's a backdoor call from what's happening.
04:44I don't know.
04:44Don't go serious yet.
04:45I'm not ready for you to go serious yet.
04:47We're going hard in on the people on the print side.
04:51Here we are over here.
04:52The tough guys.
04:53Open windows.
04:54Open.
04:56Soft.
04:58Over there.
04:59Soft.
05:00That's OFT.
05:01Hey, there's Dave Fleming.
05:02100 pence.
05:043-2 pitch.
05:05Swing and a smash to third.
05:06Comes up and hits the body of Chapman.
05:10And it ricochets the short to Adamas.
05:12His throw to first.
05:13In time for the out.
05:15That one got Chapman.
05:16They say, well, third baseman, sometimes you have to feel it with your body.
05:20That one was just smoked.
05:23And came up with a real high hop and got him, I think.
05:27And the upper body near the left shoulder.
05:30Two down on the batter, Nico Horner.
05:32Fly ball to left.
05:33Shallow racing in Ramos.
05:35Dives.
05:36Can't get it.
05:36It bounces behind him.
05:38And Nico Horner has a double.
05:40Another ball that the wind had a major effect on, Ron.
05:43Fast start to this season for PC already.
05:46Nine homies.
05:48Swing and a miss.
05:49He struck it out.
05:51Fastball away.
05:52Runner's strength.
05:54Reyes face four batters this inning in front of 26 pitchers.
05:57Working awfully hard.
05:59He might have a couple guys down in his bullpen today as well.
06:02And it's given Seah Suzuki an opportunity to tie this game or more.
06:06Suzuki has driven in 31 runs.
06:08He's been their big RBI guy.
06:10That is, wow, right there.
06:12He just threw him strike three and it got called a ball.
06:16Chad Fairchild, that ball was up entirely in the strike zone,
06:20according to the StatCast strike zone, above the knees.
06:25Strike three called.
06:26This time he got the call down there.
06:29Suzuki looks frustrated because that pitch got called a ball a little bit earlier.
06:34It's a good opportunity here for the Giants.
06:36Leading 1-0.
06:37A walk and a single have put men at first and second for San Francisco.
06:42Now that is fair right past the first baseman Turner down into the corner.
06:48A run is in.
06:50Stopping at third is Wilmer.
06:51A double for the Montway Jr.
06:53And, man, did he hit that one hard.
06:55104 miles an hour.
06:56Big RBI.
06:582-0 Giants.
06:59Critical part of this game now.
07:01It's a pitcher's day.
07:02Wind blowing in.
07:03Tough run scoring environment.
07:05A base hit here really changes the feel of this game.
07:09Into center field.
07:10Base hit.
07:11Into score.
07:12Wilmer.
07:12Here comes the throw coming home.
07:14Wade slides.
07:15He's safe.
07:16Cubs are going to take a look.
07:18Great throw from Pete Crow Armstrong.
07:22Pretty good look at it right there.
07:24Fans react.
07:25The Cubs are leaving the field before the announcement is even made.
07:29After review, the ball in the field is overturned.
07:32Another great throw from Pete Crow Armstrong to cut down a base runner here at Wrigley.
07:38I believe the Cubs will get some men on base, but the way this wind is blowing, you're going
07:42to have to do something to generate some offense.
07:44Fly ball.
07:45Deep left field.
07:46Well hit.
07:47Back goes Ramos.
07:48Back near the wall.
07:49That ball is off the wall and bouncing halfway back to the infield.
07:53It's a double for Nico Horner.
07:55Wouldn't it have been ironic if Nico were the guy to hit him through that wind into the basket
07:59for a home run?
08:00He's yet to go deep this year.
08:02Ramos had all kinds of difficulty tracking this one.
08:05Cubs trail 3-0.
08:06Let's see if they can get on the board.
08:08Pete Crow Armstrong at the plate.
08:10Fly ball left field.
08:12Ramos waits on it.
08:13Now charging in.
08:14And it falls.
08:16And the Cubs get a run.
08:19Horner in to score.
08:20PCA to second.
08:22And it's a 3-1 game.
08:24Welcome to Wrigley.
08:26He's got all kinds of issues out there this afternoon.
08:29He's got to be like, why do you keep picking on me?
08:32Cubs have just three hits today against Robbie Ray.
08:35Ray looking for his fifth win without a loss.
08:39Right field.
08:40Yaz.
08:411-0.
08:42And even in his no decisions, you know he's kept his team in the game because the Giants
08:47are 7-0 in his starts this year.
08:51Ground ball to short.
08:52Adamas takes it.
08:54One hot.
08:55Throws to first.
08:56Two down.
08:56Ninety-five pitches for Robbie Ray.
08:59Quite possibly his last inning of work.
09:02Turner.
09:02Fly ball right field.
09:04Yaz back.
09:05Still going back.
09:06Onto the warning track.
09:07He'll catch it.
09:09Out number three.
09:10Robbie Ray retires the sign in order.
09:13Well done there.
09:14You saw the smiles from Robbie Ray in the dugout.
09:16So I do believe close to 100 pitches did his job today.
09:20We have reached the moment of truth.
09:22The bottom of the ninth inning.
09:23The Giants three, Cubs one, Carson Kelly first up against Ryan Walker.
09:29Up the middle.
09:31And it'll get through.
09:33Carson Kelly with a single.
09:37First hit since the fourth inning.
09:39Single up the middle for Carson Kelly and here come the Cubs.
09:42Pull off another comeback here in the ninth.
09:45On the ground is short.
09:46Adamas.
09:46There's one.
09:48Double play.
09:50Two down in the ninth.
09:52That's big time.
09:54So two outs.
09:54Giants one out away from a win and a series win here in Chicago.
09:59On the ground.
10:00Chapman picks it.
10:01Chapman got him.
10:03The ball game is over.
10:05And the Giants take the series from the Cubs.
10:08And then there'll be another 10-jargal present-Man for the year.
10:08Joey Walters.
10:08keep it down with the scrape. And each more
