00:00:30It's the Tampa Bay Rays and the Milwaukee Brewers.
00:00:38First pitch coming at you right after the break.
00:00:45And today's starting pitcher, Quinn Priester.
00:00:48What do we need to know here about the right-hander?
00:00:51The primary pitch is an outstanding sinker.
00:00:54It's hard to pick up out of the hand, but in the last few feet, really has arm side movement.
00:00:59Tough pitch for hitters to get the barrel of the bat on.
00:01:01All right, just about ready for baseball.
00:01:04Yandy Diaz getting ready to hit.
00:01:11And this interleague matchup is underway.
00:01:15First pitch, 640.
00:01:22Oh, that got him.
00:01:23First batter of the game is hit by the pitch.
00:01:27And stepping in for the Rays, Jonathan Aranda, one of the stars in the win yesterday, as he had three
00:01:33hits.
00:01:36That's a bullet, but it goes foul.
00:01:43Just underway here in Milwaukee.
00:01:52Ground ball right side.
00:01:54Dives, but it kicks off his glove.
00:01:56The throw is still in time.
00:01:59And they come away with an out after a tricky start to the play.
00:02:03Now a look at Kevin Cash's lineup for the Tampa Bay Rays.
00:02:06And the challenge for this lineup today, Singy, finding a way to have success against the sinker ball.
00:02:12Yeah, it's a tough pitch to hit, Boog, and even harder to elevate.
00:02:15Got to set your sights a little bit higher when you're at the dish.
00:02:18They're struggling with it.
00:02:19I'd expect him to make some type of adjustment.
00:02:22It won't take long to see how well that sinker is working today.
00:02:25Junior Caminero in the box lays off for ball one.
00:02:33On the ground.
00:02:34Terrain.
00:02:35And there's two down.
00:02:42Batting four.
00:02:43Now up for Tampa Bay, Johnny DeLuca.
00:02:47And this is a big opportunity for him to pick up his teammate right here.
00:02:58First pitch misses.
00:03:00Two outs and a runner a third.
00:03:02You're in game one of this three-game set.
00:03:10Swings through that one out in front that time.
00:03:13Filthy chainship right there.
00:03:14Just pulled the string.
00:03:22Swing and a miss.
00:03:23And that one missed by a ton.
00:03:25Man, that was pretty gross right there.
00:03:34Ball.
00:03:38Diaz on third with two out.
00:03:46Out towards right center field.
00:03:48Chorio under it.
00:03:50And that'll do it.
00:03:53Now it's the Brewers' turn.
00:03:55It's a scoreless ball game.
00:03:57You're watching Brewers baseball on the show, Wisconsin.
00:04:03Back here in Milwaukee, and today's starting pitcher, Steven Matz.
00:04:08What should we keep an eye on here?
00:04:10Well, Boog, expect to see the ball in play with this guy in the mound.
00:04:13He's not exactly a big strikeout guy, so that means the defense will need to stay sharp.
00:04:18He's looking for soft contact, so communication is going to be key in this one.
00:04:24Bryce Terrain leading things off and takes a strike.
00:04:29Terrain matched a homer in his last game.
00:04:34In the air left field, Simpson has a beat on it, and there's one away.
00:04:43Take a look at the lineup.
00:04:46They're facing a pitcher today who's prone to giving up homers, so we'll see.
00:04:50We might get some big swings here today.
00:04:53Yeah, Boog, one reason for those long balls comes from the lineup being aggressive and confident.
00:04:58If they maintain that approach, they could hit a few more today.
00:05:03Up the middle, and he knocks it down.
00:05:07He decides to eat it, and they can't get the out.
00:05:11Setting third, right fielder.
00:05:14One out man at first.
00:05:15Now at the plate, Jackson Chorio.
00:05:19And there's a foul ball.
00:05:28You'll want this one in the air right field, and that'll fall for a base hit.
00:05:35Quick throw back in.
00:05:36Lead runner holds it second with one gone.
00:05:39And for left fielder, Christian Jelic.
00:05:46Here comes Christian Jelic.
00:05:51Hey!
00:05:52Now the best way to shake off yesterday's struggles is to get on the board early.
00:05:55They've got a guy in scoring position.
00:05:57They've got to find their way here to get him in.
00:06:00This one in the air center field.
00:06:04Brings it in.
00:06:06And he moves up to third.
00:06:08Now two away.
00:06:11Setting fifth.
00:06:13First baseman, Andrew Vaughn.
00:06:15Andrew Vaughn now.
00:06:24He's going to steal second.
00:06:25You want him to go early in the count.
00:06:27That way he's not a distraction to the hitter at the plate.
00:06:30Go ahead and get it out of the way.
00:06:31So the hitter can focus on the pitch.
00:06:35Two on, two outs.
00:06:38Line drive.
00:06:39Put the extra bases.
00:06:41One runs in.
00:06:43Runner around third.
00:06:46In to score from first.
00:06:48And a lead by two.
00:06:50Gets him on the board first.
00:06:51Coming through with two RBI's on that swing.
00:06:54Nice job of driving that pitch the other way on a line.
00:06:58You know, hitters, they take so many reps in the cages.
00:07:00Working on going to the opposite field.
00:07:02And it doesn't always translate into the game.
00:07:04But right there it did.
00:07:05And he did it perfectly.
00:07:06On the ground to the left.
00:07:08Tosses to first.
00:07:10They limit the damage here.
00:07:12Brewers pick up a run on this RBI double.
00:07:16It's now a 2-0 ball game.
00:07:23Second inning set to go.
00:07:25And stepping in for the Rays, Jake Fraley.
00:07:35Hey!
00:07:38Hey!
00:07:46Curve ball drops in for a strike.
00:07:49Well, we call that key holey.
00:07:51Even though it's right there and looks pretty good.
00:07:53If he doesn't love it, he's not going to swing that early in the count.
00:07:58The 0-2.
00:08:02Way inside.
00:08:15That ball too.
00:08:29Swing and a ball popped in the air.
00:08:31One up, one down.
00:08:33That is six.
00:08:34The designated hitter, Gavin Lux.
00:08:42Here's Gavin Lux to hit.
00:08:44Two hits for him in yesterday's game.
00:08:49Oh.
00:08:50I don't know how you take that.
00:08:51That was a strike.
00:09:02Up the middle.
00:09:04That's a base hit.
00:09:05So a man aboard now with one away.
00:09:11Batting seven.
00:09:12Catcher Nick Fortes.
00:09:14Nick Fortes will hit next.
00:09:24Oh, that pitch is out.
00:09:38And a 1-0.
00:09:41Fought off.
00:09:42Foul.
00:09:42Foul.
00:09:56Up the middle.
00:09:57Ortiz.
00:09:58Flips it.
00:09:59There's one.
00:10:00Double play.
00:10:01What a win-killing day in the inning.
00:10:04No runs.
00:10:04One hit.
00:10:05No errors.
00:10:05And no one left.
00:10:06We go to the bottom of inning number two.
00:10:09It's the Brewers two.
00:10:11The Rays nothing.
00:10:16Back here at American Family Field.
00:10:18We head to the bottom of the second.
00:10:20Luis Ranjifo.
00:10:22Up now for the Brewers.
00:10:27Ball one.
00:10:38Say he wasn't very sharp in the first.
00:10:40Got hit around a little bit.
00:10:41Just wasn't able to locate particularly well.
00:10:44A lot of stuff for the fat part of the plate.
00:10:45Yeah, Boog.
00:10:46He wasn't fooling anyone.
00:10:47It's a tough place to be.
00:10:49Because it's not always obvious where adjustments need to be made.
00:10:51Sometimes it's location.
00:10:53Sometimes it's being too predictable.
00:10:55Sometimes you're tipping your pitches.
00:10:56He's going to need to figure it out quickly, though.
00:10:59Just a very nice approach and swing right there to use the big part of the field.
00:11:04Everything was on time.
00:11:06He stayed balanced through the entire swing and just launched that one into center.
00:11:10Bowers in the box as he fouls off the first pitch.
00:11:19Ball.
00:11:21Matz.
00:11:2134-year-old vet.
00:11:23And he was a second-round pick.
00:11:25Back in 2009.
00:11:351-2 now.
00:11:37On the ground.
00:11:38Could be two.
00:11:40He's in there.
00:11:42That was a total disaster of a play right there.
00:11:45The feed to second took way too long to get there.
00:11:47It's clear this guy's not comfortable playing that position.
00:11:51They might have had it out at first, but he tried to force the issue.
00:11:54Just can't do that.
00:11:55First and second.
00:11:57No outs.
00:11:58Joey Ortiz.
00:11:59The next to hit.
00:12:09Tap back to the mound.
00:12:14Boom, that's staying within his game right there.
00:12:17I mean, this speedster gets the infield single, and now he's on base to possibly do some damage.
00:12:22I love seeing what guys like this can do to disrupt the game once they get in a position to
00:12:28do so.
00:12:37Here comes the 0-1.
00:12:39Swing and a ground ball.
00:12:41Base hit.
00:12:42One run in already.
00:12:44The second run scores.
00:12:47It's a two-run single, and they're up by four.
00:12:50Big one there as he drives in a couple of runs.
00:12:53Just one of those seen high-base hits through the infield.
00:12:56He just kind of rolled over on it a little bit, but sometimes those can find a hole and get
00:13:00you a knock.
00:13:01First and second, and nobody out.
00:13:03And now it's William Contreras.
00:13:06Swings through that one for strike one.
00:13:24Double play ball to second.
00:13:26The flip.
00:13:27One in second.
00:13:28To Diaz.
00:13:29That's two.
00:13:30Oh, man, what a smooth double play.
00:13:32That was a thing of beauty from start to finish.
00:13:41And here is Jackson Chorio.
00:13:52Rutter third.
00:13:54Two away.
00:13:57That's out to center field.
00:13:59DeLuca settles under this one.
00:14:02And that is that.
00:14:05They get two runs on three hits.
00:14:07No errors at one left.
00:14:09We play two full.
00:14:11It's the Brewers four.
00:14:13The Rays nothing.
00:14:14This is Brewers baseball on the show.
00:14:18New inning getting started.
00:14:20And stepping in for the Rays, Chandler Simpson.
00:14:32First pitch strike right there for him.
00:14:34He's going to have to do that consistently if he's going to give any length to his skipper.
00:14:43A swing and a miss as he chases way out of the zone.
00:14:52Ball one.
00:15:01That one to first.
00:15:05Vaughn takes it himself.
00:15:07Lead off man retired here in the third.
00:15:09Shortstop, Taylor Walls.
00:15:14Here's the shortstop at the play.
00:15:16Taylor Walls didn't play in the day game yesterday, so he should be fresh for this one.
00:15:24On the ground, right side.
00:15:26Terrain.
00:15:27First two batters retired here in the top of the third.
00:15:32Up next for Tampa Bay.
00:15:35First baseman.
00:15:36So the Rays batting order turns over.
00:15:38Yandy Diaz now.
00:15:48All one.
00:15:57That one back up the middle and it gets through.
00:16:01So a two out knock keeps the inning alive.
00:16:07Up next for Tampa Bay.
00:16:10Jonathan Aranda.
00:16:11He's 0 for 1.
00:16:16Hey!
00:16:270-1 down.
00:16:30And it's fouled away.
00:16:35Diaz off of first with two away.
00:16:44And he hits a ground ball right side.
00:16:48In time, Duvall.
00:16:50That ends the frame.
00:16:52The Rays strand just the one.
00:16:54They're on the short end of a 4-0 score.
00:17:00Ready to go for the last half of the inning.
00:17:02Now the Brewers clean up hitter.
00:17:04Christian Yellich.
00:17:05Christian Yellich.
00:17:07And the pitch is outside.
00:17:09Ball one.
00:17:10I think this is an important inning on the mound for him in this game.
00:17:13He's got to find a way to settle things down and give some length in this start.
00:17:21Well, these Brewers doing a good job of simply getting the bat on the ball in this game.
00:17:26And the numbers back that up.
00:17:27They're hitting everything thrown at them.
00:17:29Their contact rate is in the low 90s.
00:17:31It's like they know what's coming.
00:17:33And that's just pretty ridiculous what they're doing right now.
00:17:35Those numbers are well above the major league average.
00:17:41Stays alive.
00:17:41Stays alive.
00:17:52Up the middle.
00:17:54Arunda.
00:17:56Slings to first.
00:17:57Lead off hitter gone in the third.
00:17:59Well, he certainly didn't look comfortable or fluid on that play.
00:18:02And later in this ball game, this could come back to bite him if a ball is hit to him.
00:18:06And he's playing that same position.
00:18:09Next for Milwaukee.
00:18:10Milwaukee, Andrew Vaughn.
00:18:12He drove it two with a double his first time up.
00:18:16Ball.
00:18:26Swing and a ball popped in the air.
00:18:28That gets down for a hit.
00:18:29So they get a man aboard with a one-out single.
00:18:34Wasting no time.
00:18:35He's two for two now on the night.
00:18:38And just a triple and home run away from the cycle.
00:18:41Seriously, we're starting with this already.
00:18:44Runner on the goal.
00:18:46Freeland at the plate now.
00:18:47And that's strike one.
00:18:51Deal one.
00:18:53That one the other way.
00:18:54And that's a base hit.
00:18:56And now to a board.
00:19:05Luis Rengifo gets a chance to hit here.
00:19:07One for one with a single and a run scored so far.
00:19:12Blind into right.
00:19:14That's a base hit.
00:19:15Headed for the plate.
00:19:18The relay throw.
00:19:19Safe at the plate.
00:19:21And the run scores all the way from second.
00:19:24And it's five to nothing.
00:19:26Picks himself up at RBI.
00:19:27That one was smoke coming off the bat.
00:19:29And it looked like there might have been a close play at the plate.
00:19:32Good job of base running, rounding third.
00:19:35Making sure he could come in and score that run.
00:19:37Bowers.
00:19:38In the box now.
00:19:39Takes strike one.
00:19:40Runners at the corners.
00:19:42One away.
00:19:42Here in the last half of the third.
00:19:44On the ground.
00:19:46Caminero.
00:19:47They get the force.
00:19:49And there's two away.
00:19:52I promise you they're guys that get a little bit faster when they can smell an RBI.
00:19:56That was a possible inning-ending double play.
00:19:58Great hustle.
00:19:59And he gets rewarded with the RBI because of it.
00:20:02Joey Ortiz.
00:20:04Digs in now.
00:20:05Reached on an infield single his first time.
00:20:07Eight!
00:20:18Swing and this one's bounce to the ground.
00:20:20Fires to first on the run.
00:20:22But no chance there with his speed.
00:20:24That's a hit.
00:20:35Back to the top of the Milwaukee order.
00:20:37This is Bryce Terang.
00:20:44First and second.
00:20:46Two down.
00:20:46Here in game one of this three-game set.
00:20:49Base hit!
00:20:50Bowers coming home.
00:20:53The relay in there.
00:20:55He scores.
00:20:57It's seven to nothing.
00:21:00William Contreras.
00:21:02And a dangerous hitter.
00:21:03Double to the plate.
00:21:04One for two.
00:21:05Two.
00:21:09Eight!
00:21:17Clearly he hasn't had it in this game.
00:21:20And it looks like sooner than later, they're going to have to go to the bullpen.
00:21:24Two on, two outs.
00:21:28This to third.
00:21:29Caminero.
00:21:31Zips it across.
00:21:33Inning over.
00:21:34And it could have been worse.
00:21:36Three innings complete.
00:21:37It's the Brewers seven.
00:21:38The Rays nothing.
00:21:40You're watching Brewers baseball.
00:21:42Back here in Milwaukee.
00:21:44And stepping in for the Rays.
00:21:46Junior Caminero.
00:21:52This one smoked on its way.
00:21:54Out of here.
00:21:59A solo shot.
00:22:00His second of the year.
00:22:02And they've got their first run.
00:22:04That one just sounded different.
00:22:06And might have been the loudest moment yet.
00:22:08Man, my ears are ringing.
00:22:10I can feel that swing from the booth.
00:22:13Love to see a hitter aggressive on the first pitch of an at-bat.
00:22:16You watch him from the on-deck circle.
00:22:18So when you step in the box, you're ready to pull the trigger wherever it's at.
00:22:23Really good job by the hitter.
00:22:24Total conviction on that swing.
00:22:27Here's the center fielder.
00:22:28Johnny DeLuca.
00:22:32Off the plate.
00:22:33Ball one.
00:22:41Nobody on.
00:22:42Nobody out with a run in.
00:22:44Top half of inning number four.
00:22:48Right through there for a strike.
00:22:59This one in the air center field.
00:23:02Freely on the move.
00:23:04Pulls it down and he makes the catch.
00:23:07And that's the first down.
00:23:08Nice recovery after giving up the homer.
00:23:10Jake Freely.
00:23:12Now it's the right fielder.
00:23:14Jake Freely.
00:23:140 for 1 so far.
00:23:22Close one.
00:23:23Doesn't get the call.
00:23:24Ball one.
00:23:25I can't play around with him here.
00:23:27It's a six-run lead.
00:23:28At this point.
00:23:29Got to attack hitters.
00:23:31Even if you give up a solo shot.
00:23:32And that gets down for a base hit.
00:23:35And that's a one-out single.
00:23:40Nice line drive to the pull side right there.
00:23:42But he didn't spin off of it.
00:23:44That's the key.
00:23:44You still have to extend through the baseball in order to hit a line drive like that.
00:23:48And now it's Gavin Lux.
00:24:03Hardliner.
00:24:07He makes the grab.
00:24:12They put the tag on him.
00:24:14And that's a double play to end the inning.
00:24:28Back here at American Family Field.
00:24:30This offense has lifted them to a lead with plenty of hits so far in this one as we look
00:24:35at the spray chart.
00:24:36Yeah, it looks like they've been spreading it out pretty well in this one, Boog.
00:24:40Spraying the ball all over the yard.
00:24:42Good team effort at the dish.
00:24:45Chorio.
00:24:45The leadoff batter as he swings through it for strike one.
00:24:54Ground ball right side.
00:24:57The throw to first.
00:24:58And one gone to the fourth as they get the leadoff, man.
00:25:02Let's take a look at his pitch usage in this one, Ziggy.
00:25:05The sinker's his bread and butter pitch, Boog.
00:25:07And he's gone to it plenty in this one.
00:25:09He's used it on more than half his pitches so far.
00:25:13However, they've gotten to him for a lot of offense early.
00:25:16Might be time to try something new.
00:25:20Jelic.
00:25:21At the plate for the third time as he comes up empty there.
00:25:28Swing and a foul straight back.
00:25:36Here's the 0-2.
00:25:39Well, that's kind of what you expect in an 0-2 count.
00:25:42Excellent job of the hitter to have the plate disciplined to lay off of that pitch.
00:25:49Rolled over to third.
00:25:51Caminero.
00:25:53Not in time.
00:25:54He's in there.
00:25:55Great effort, but it's an infield hit.
00:25:57Not every base hit is a liner into the gap.
00:25:59Just like not every strikeout's a perfect slider down and away.
00:26:03I mean, right there, he just put the ball in play on the ground
00:26:05and gave it his all to get down to first for the knock.
00:26:09One down at the plate.
00:26:11Andrew Vaughn.
00:26:14That's a ball.
00:26:40Yelich leads off first with one away.
00:26:44This one in the air right field.
00:26:48Takes it in for the out.
00:26:54Up next for the Brewers, center fielder, Sal Freeland.
00:26:59Sal Freeland, now at the plate.
00:27:07Gets him easily, ends the inning.
00:27:11Milwaukee leaves one, and they're on top of 7-1.
00:27:19All set for the start of the inning.
00:27:20And now the catcher for the Rays, Nick Fortez.
00:27:30Well, these Rays need to bring up the quality of their bats
00:27:33and specifically their swings.
00:27:35Just one extra base hit for them,
00:27:37so they haven't exactly been hitting the ball gap to gap
00:27:40or out of the park.
00:27:41That makes it really difficult to generate runs.
00:27:46Outside, that's a ball.
00:28:07The one-two.
00:28:11Cuts and misses.
00:28:12It's a strikeout.
00:28:13That was a tough slider right there.
00:28:15He couldn't get a piece of it just to try to keep the bat alive.
00:28:18And hitters will tell you, that slider,
00:28:20when a guy's able to really tunnel the pitch
00:28:22where it looks like a fastball and then late,
00:28:25has a really good bite,
00:28:27so tough to lay off of because you've made the decision.
00:28:30You don't want to get beat by a fastball.
00:28:32And then you swing and you miss.
00:28:34You go back to the dugout, shaking your head.
00:28:42Foul ball.
00:28:48The Rays with a lot of ground to make up.
00:28:51And we're at the top of the fifth.
00:28:55Blinded to the right center field.
00:28:57That's a base hit.
00:28:59So, a man aboard now with one away.
00:29:04Up next for Tampa Bay.
00:29:06And stepping in for the Rays,
00:29:07Taylor Walls grounded out his first time off.
00:29:14Nope.
00:29:15Walls goes five feet, nine inches, 185 pounds,
00:29:20and he was a third-round pick back in 2017.
00:29:28In the air, right field.
00:29:29Chorio on his way over.
00:29:31And he makes the catch.
00:29:40And here's a look at how he's using his pitches in this one.
00:29:47So, back to the top of the order.
00:29:49Here's the Rays leadoff hitter, Yandy Diaz.
00:29:58Ball, that's it.
00:30:00Simpson off of first with two away.
00:30:09Out to short, Ortiz.
00:30:13Over to first.
00:30:14And the inning is over.
00:30:16One left for Tampa.
00:30:17They're down seven to one.
00:30:21Back here in Milwaukee, bottom of the inning.
00:30:24Well, he's been knocked around pretty good so far,
00:30:26but they've got him back out there at least to begin the inning.
00:30:29And you wonder just the strength and perhaps the health of that bullpen
00:30:32for him to go back out there.
00:30:34But he's taking this one for the team.
00:30:36Perhaps he can stabilize things and the offense can score some runs for him.
00:30:40Nope, that's off the plate.
00:30:41Ball two.
00:30:43Ball two.
00:30:44Ball two.
00:30:49Ball two.
00:30:49Ball two.
00:30:49Tapped back to the mound.
00:30:53Tosses to first.
00:30:54And the leadoff man set down.
00:30:56And they're half of the fifth.
00:30:57For the Brewers.
00:30:59Designated hitter, Jake Bowers.
00:31:01Now, here's Jake Bowers.
00:31:11Well, the good thing so far is that he hasn't issued any free passes.
00:31:15Unfortunately, they're making pretty good contact.
00:31:17So, not getting the swings and misses and making that defense work behind him.
00:31:22On the ground, the first.
00:31:23And a foul ball.
00:31:32Next offering is foul back.
00:31:39And a one-two.
00:31:47The Brewers up big in this one.
00:31:50Last half of inning, number five.
00:31:52And he'll do it again.
00:32:15Foul ball left side.
00:32:16He'll see another.
00:32:24The one-two.
00:32:29Short hop liner.
00:32:31Handled it short.
00:32:32And he beats it.
00:32:34No, he's in there.
00:32:34That's a hit.
00:32:35Great try there.
00:32:37Up next for the Brewers.
00:32:39One gone runner at first.
00:32:42Now it's the shortstop, Joey Ortiz.
00:32:44Aye.
00:33:03And the-o-two.
00:33:06Grounder might be two.
00:33:08They take the force out as they pass up the chance at the double play.
00:33:13Good that they weren't overzealous there.
00:33:15Just take the shirt out.
00:33:16Keep the run out of scoring position.
00:33:18Bryce Terang at the plate now.
00:33:20The former first-round pick back in 2018.
00:33:22His dad, Brian, played in the big leagues.
00:33:24He was an outfielder with the Mariners in 1993 and 1994.
00:33:35In the dirt.
00:33:45The one-one.
00:33:46Weather takes off.
00:33:47There's a ball.
00:33:49No throw.
00:33:50Safe in second.
00:33:58Man on second.
00:34:00Two down.
00:34:01Ball three.
00:34:02In the dirt.
00:34:03Blocked.
00:34:11The three-one.
00:34:14Ground ball right side.
00:34:16It squirts through.
00:34:17Ortiz around third.
00:34:20And he's out.
00:34:21On the tag.
00:34:22He's out.
00:34:22Up down and that ends the inning.
00:34:24Well, it's pretty difficult to throw a baserunner out at the plate with two outs on a base hit
00:34:28to the outfield.
00:34:29But an excellent job of coming up with it, getting rid of it quickly, and throwing on
00:34:34the money.
00:34:34That is great technique from start to finish.
00:34:37Nice job to end the inning.
00:34:39Take the risk, watch the shift.
00:34:40Take the shot.
00:34:42I don't miss a point.
00:34:43It's an all right to the top.
00:34:45But I didn't want to give it all I got.
00:34:48Get in the...
00:34:50Welcome back.
00:34:51A few highlights to help tell the story of the game.
00:34:56Welcome back, everybody.
00:34:56Rollin' and rollin', rollin'.
00:34:59Time drives by the spirit of it.
00:35:08All I hear say, go so deep.
00:35:12Soul is the baby.
00:35:14I'm too blue.
00:35:16If I listen to her.
00:35:19Right, she said it.
00:35:23Jonathan Aranda will hit next.
00:35:26Second baseman, Jonathan Aranda.
00:35:40That's a ball.
00:35:50Tap to first, and that's foul.
00:36:13Here's a one-two.
00:36:17Swing and a miss.
00:36:18That one in the dirt.
00:36:19Gets him.
00:36:20One away on a drop third strike.
00:36:23Oh, that's pretty much the dream two-strike curveball.
00:36:26If you're the pitcher, hard downward break at the very end
00:36:29that just dips below the swing.
00:36:40And they say pitchers want to try to bounce that pitch
00:36:42right on top of the plate,
00:36:44so that was exactly what he was looking for on the mound.
00:36:47Caminero in the box here lets that one go for a ball.
00:37:09Hammer down the right side, but foul.
00:37:11Well, they gave up on that pitch early,
00:37:13and it ended up staying in the zone.
00:37:15I'm sure he's kicking himself and would like that pitch again.
00:37:23Hit on the ground up the middle.
00:37:24That's a base hit.
00:37:27So they get a man aboard with a one-out single.
00:37:34Couldn't get any air under it,
00:37:36but he smoked that ball back up the middle.
00:37:39Timing was just perfect.
00:37:40Got great wood on it,
00:37:41and there's just no chance for the infielders
00:37:43with how hard he hit it.
00:37:45Digging in, Johnny DeLuca.
00:37:47That one finds the zone.
00:37:504-1-1.
00:38:02Ball inside.
00:38:08Man at first, one away.
00:38:16This one in the air, right field.
00:38:19And there's two down.
00:38:24Up next for Tampa Bay,
00:38:26right fielder, Jake Fraley.
00:38:29So next to the plate for Tampa Bay,
00:38:32Jake Fraley.
00:38:41Ball one.
00:38:54This one riff,
00:38:55but foul to the right.
00:39:06The 1-1.
00:39:10Liner.
00:39:10Base hit.
00:39:14Throw stops the lead runner at second.
00:39:17Two on and two out.
00:39:18Up next for Tampa Bay,
00:39:20the designated...
00:39:20Gavin Lux.
00:39:21Next to hit for the Rays.
00:39:30And that one is in for a strike at 95.
00:39:34And it's 0-1.
00:39:48Two on, two outs.
00:39:50Pitch misses.
00:39:51And now it's even one and one.
00:39:53Movement in Milwaukee's bullpen.
00:39:55Aaron Ashby, the left-hander,
00:39:57is getting that big fastball of his ready to go.
00:40:00Sproke warming up as well.
00:40:06On the ground to Short, Ortiz.
00:40:09And that is the third out of the inning.
00:40:11It's the Brewers' 7, the Rays' 1.
00:40:26Back down for the bottom of the sixth.
00:40:28And there's a new pitcher on the mound.
00:40:30Jesse Schultens.
00:40:31I think it's got to be a little tough coming in out of the pen
00:40:34when your guys are trailing so big on the scoreboard.
00:40:37Just doesn't have the same intensity to it.
00:40:39But he's got to find a way because these batters count the same for his stats,
00:40:43obviously, regardless of the score.
00:40:46Throws to first.
00:40:47One pitch and one out.
00:40:49Really nice job to get your first out of the ballgame.
00:40:52Next for the Brewers, right fielder Jackson Churiel.
00:40:55Jackson Churiel up now.
00:40:57He became the fifth youngest player to start on opening day in the divisional era.
00:41:02Singy, can you name the others?
00:41:03Well, Ken Griffey Jr. seems like a good guess for this one.
00:41:06That's right.
00:41:07I'll give you the others.
00:41:08Adrian Beltre and Robin Yount.
00:41:10Got it.
00:41:11Yount must be on that list twice because he was only 18 when he made his debut.
00:41:15Exactly.
00:41:16Tapper back to the mound.
00:41:19Throw pulls him off the bag and he's safe.
00:41:22Up next for the Brewers, left fielder Christian Jelich.
00:41:27Man at first.
00:41:29Now it's Christian Jelich.
00:41:30One for three.
00:41:35And first off ring is fouled off.
00:41:53To third, Caminero.
00:41:55They get the force as they pass up the chance at the double play.
00:42:01Up next for the Brewers.
00:42:04Up now for Milwaukee, Andrew Vaughn.
00:42:11Jelich goes.
00:42:12Pitch misses.
00:42:15Throw to second.
00:42:16Out of bounds.
00:42:17Safe.
00:42:18Yeah, I like being aggressive right there with two outs.
00:42:20It's kind of a classic steal situation.
00:42:22You get thrown out, no big deal.
00:42:24That guy at the plate leads off the next inning.
00:42:26Now, a single to the outfield can push a run across.
00:42:34Man at second.
00:42:37Line drive.
00:42:38That's a base hit.
00:42:39Jelich flies around third.
00:42:41Now a relay to the plate.
00:42:43Safe.
00:42:44And the runner from second scores on the play.
00:42:47It's 8-1.
00:42:48Thought it was a great job of letting that runner steal second base, get in the scoring position,
00:42:52come through with the base knock.
00:42:54You add a run.
00:42:56South Freeland, getting ready to hit.
00:43:00And immediately pumps in a strike to the left-handed hitter.
00:43:10Here's your one.
00:43:12And a foul ball.
00:43:23Got him swinging.
00:43:26One run, one hit, one error, and one left.
00:43:30Seventh inning coming up.
00:43:31It's the Brewers' 8th.
00:43:32The Rays win.
00:43:34Welcome back.
00:43:35We're in the seventh.
00:43:36We have a new pitcher on the mound.
00:43:37Aaron Ashby.
00:43:39And he's had three days off since he pitched last, so expect him to be totally rested.
00:43:43I'm sure he's itching for this opportunity right now.
00:43:46Nick Fortes getting ready to hit.
00:43:49Catcher Nick Fortes.
00:43:58And that misses.
00:44:00And it's 1-0.
00:44:08Next offering is fouled back.
00:44:21Swing and a high fly ball.
00:44:22Hit the air left center field.
00:44:24This one's got a chance.
00:44:25That one hops against the fence.
00:44:28And he starts the seventh with a leadoff double.
00:44:34Kind of a risky pitch coming inside with the breaking ball like that.
00:44:38You have to bury it.
00:44:40Otherwise, it's not too difficult to get the bat to it like he did that time.
00:44:44So, man aboard.
00:44:46And stepping in for the Rays.
00:44:47Chandler Simpson.
00:44:52Misses inside.
00:44:54Ball one.
00:45:05Out to short.
00:45:07Whips it to first on the run.
00:45:09Throw in to Derrick.
00:45:10And he can't come up with it.
00:45:13Unfortunately, they've got a big lead on the scoreboard, so that error shouldn't hurt too much.
00:45:18But you have to be careful about losing concentration in a game like this.
00:45:22It can be an easy trap to fall into.
00:45:24First and second and nobody out.
00:45:27And now Taylor Walls.
00:45:30Ball one.
00:45:32Ball one.
00:45:33Ball one.
00:45:41The lefty, the 1-0.
00:45:44Ball one.
00:46:11Swing and a miss, and he struck him out.
00:46:32Swing and a miss, and he got him to chase.
00:46:35Ashby, a guy that comes at you with one of the biggest curveballs around.
00:46:39It's got a ton of movement.
00:46:41Challenge from behind the dish here.
00:46:46Pretty close, but it was a ball.
00:46:48That knocks them down to one challenge left.
00:46:52Runners at first and second with one gone.
00:46:55You're in the top half of inning number seven.
00:46:58Swings over the top of that one.
00:47:00And what makes it so good is the tilt and the late break to it.
00:47:05Kind of reminds me of Andy Pettit as far as how sharp.
00:47:08Feed to second.
00:47:09That's one.
00:47:10What a double play that was.
00:47:12Inning over.
00:47:13This one pretty well decided at this point.
00:47:16Midway in inning number seven, and it's time to stretch.
00:47:20It's the Brewers eight, the Rays one.
00:47:22You're watching Brewers baseball on the show, Wisconsin.
00:47:28It's a bit of a blowout now, which gives us a bit more freedom here in the booth.
00:47:32I'm not sure that's a good thing.
00:47:34All right, Siggy, we've been in all the press boxes.
00:47:37You got best press box food.
00:47:40I say press box food because of the ice cream.
00:47:44We have to go to Philadelphia.
00:47:46Yeah.
00:47:46Shout out to our guy, Frank.
00:47:47Yes.
00:47:48New York for me is pretty good.
00:47:50Yankees.
00:47:51That's foul.
00:47:51Yeah, solid.
00:47:52Yeah.
00:48:03Next offering popped in the air, right field.
00:48:07Fraley takes it in for the out.
00:48:10What a way.
00:48:14Up next for the Brewers.
00:48:17Jake Bowers.
00:48:18Up now for the Brewers.
00:48:20Jake Bowers.
00:48:27Backdoor breaking ball just missed right there.
00:48:30And boy, umpire didn't give him the call.
00:48:33I bet you if he throws it again, hitter knows he's going to have to swing it.
00:48:37Close, but call the ball.
00:48:38Two balls, no strikes.
00:48:47Next offering is foul back.
00:48:52The Brewers up big in this one here at the bottom of the seven.
00:48:57Chopped to third.
00:48:59Walls.
00:49:00And it gets by him.
00:49:02And they get him.
00:49:03The misplay made it a bit messy, but they cleaned things up for the out.
00:49:07Up next for the Brewers.
00:49:10Shortstop, Joey Ortiz.
00:49:19In the air, right side.
00:49:23And that is that.
00:49:25Nobody left for Milwaukee.
00:49:27And it remains an eight to one game.
00:49:35Back here at American Family Field.
00:49:38We're at the top of the eight.
00:49:39Jonathan.
00:49:44Jonathan Arunda.
00:49:46Digs in now.
00:49:51Nope.
00:49:52Catch your challenge.
00:49:53We'll take another look.
00:50:02In this situation, you expect the batters to be a little more patient,
00:50:06possibly take until they get a strike.
00:50:08With that, you don't want to miss your opportunity to get ahead early in the count.
00:50:11He didn't right there.
00:50:12The 1-1.
00:50:15Lifted in the air down the left side.
00:50:17And it falls.
00:50:19So a runner aboard to start the inning.
00:50:23Definitely found the perfect spot.
00:50:25Those can be hard sometimes.
00:50:26We talked about in left field.
00:50:29You're kind of anticipating cheating in for a ball.
00:50:32Hit something like that.
00:50:33That you can rob a little soft flare in front of you.
00:50:36But perfectly placed.
00:50:37So you reward the hitter with it.
00:50:39Caminero stands in now and watches strike one.
00:50:48Foul ball there.
00:50:59Struck him out looking.
00:51:01Well, I think that was just a case of a hitter quitting on a pitch.
00:51:04He was looking fastball and didn't see it out of the hand
00:51:07and just left the bat on his shoulder.
00:51:09That was a changeup right over the plate.
00:51:11Probably not the location he was looking for.
00:51:13But the change of speeds is what fooled him.
00:51:16And he got the out.
00:51:16DeLuca batting with one down.
00:51:19Takes a strike.
00:51:27Swings through that.
00:51:38The 0-2.
00:51:40Gets a piece and stays alive.
00:51:54Strike three and that's two in a row.
00:51:56No, interesting.
00:51:57He's looking very comfortable out of the stretch
00:51:59after giving up the leadoff single.
00:52:01Back-to-back strikeouts.
00:52:02So they haven't been able to move that runner up,
00:52:05get him in the scoring position,
00:52:06and try to have a better chance of scoring.
00:52:08I tell you, good job so far on the mound.
00:52:10He just needs one more out.
00:52:14Fraley stands in here.
00:52:16Takes ball one low.
00:52:22That one's in there.
00:52:23And it's one and one.
00:52:24Well, this looks like it's going to be a wasted opportunity.
00:52:27It's frustrating when you get the leadoff man on,
00:52:29but you can't get him into scoring position.
00:52:31They're going to need a big knock.
00:52:32Try to put something up on the board.
00:52:34Swing and a ball lifted in the air.
00:52:36Shallow left field.
00:52:38Dunks one into left.
00:52:39And out to a board.
00:52:46Up next for Tampa Bay.
00:52:48Manager out of the dugout,
00:52:49and he's going to make a change.
00:52:51Aaron Ashby done for the night.
00:52:53And the line not closed on him yet
00:52:55as he's responsible for the runners on base.
00:52:58Back with a new pitcher after this.
00:53:02Now pitching for the Brewers.
00:53:04Here comes the new arm for the Brewers,
00:53:06Jared Koenig.
00:53:07This is his third time out this year.
00:53:19And out.
00:53:24D.H.
00:53:26Gavin Lux.
00:53:32Hey!
00:53:45Two on,
00:53:47two outs.
00:53:48Up the middle.
00:53:50They take the force out.
00:53:52That's the third out.
00:53:53Inning over.
00:53:54So the Rays strand a pair.
00:53:56It's still an eight,
00:53:57one ball game.
00:54:03Now pitching for the Brewers.
00:54:05Back down.
00:54:05New pitcher on the mound
00:54:06as we roll into the bottom of the eighth.
00:54:08Cole Sulcer.
00:54:09And with the big deficit on the scoreboard,
00:54:12he almost has to just put that out of his mind.
00:54:15Every outing matters for relievers in their numbers,
00:54:17but I think it's tough to get up for this type of appearance
00:54:20the same way you would for one in a close game.
00:54:23Terrain.
00:54:23Leading things off and takes a strike.
00:54:26Well,
00:54:26these Brewers doing a good job of putting the ball into play,
00:54:29and that makes things more challenging on the defensive side.
00:54:32Double-digit hits,
00:54:33and they've done a great job of avoiding the strikeout.
00:54:36Only one of them so far,
00:54:38which tells you a lot.
00:54:39Ground ball to the right side.
00:54:41And it goes just foul.
00:54:46Field two.
00:55:00Swing and a ground ball at the middle.
00:55:02That's a base hit.
00:55:03Around first and hustling for second.
00:55:06And he's going to get to second with nobody out.
00:55:10Having himself a really nice game at the plate.
00:55:12Timing on the swing was good.
00:55:14Able to shoot the ball up the middle.
00:55:15Didn't square it up as much as he probably would have liked,
00:55:18but that's a good approach paying off.
00:55:21William Contreras will hit next.
00:55:26Inside ball.
00:55:36On the ground right side.
00:55:39And foul ball.
00:55:46Man at second.
00:55:48Comes up empty.
00:55:50That's strike two.
00:56:03Drilled out towards left center field.
00:56:05That's well struck.
00:56:06That one carrying.
00:56:07And it's out of here.
00:56:11A two-run homer.
00:56:12And they add to their lead.
00:56:15Chris, he's homered in back-to-back games now.
00:56:18Yep, seeing the ball well,
00:56:19and he's got his timing locked in.
00:56:21And he's looking pretty dangerous at the dish right now.
00:56:29With a low 90s fastball,
00:56:30you have to live on the edges and hit your spots.
00:56:33If you don't, you'll get hit hard.
00:56:35Really good swing there.
00:56:37Patient, waited for it.
00:56:38It was like BP all over again.
00:56:40Next for Milwaukee, Jackson Chorio.
00:56:45Swing and a ball lifted in the air.
00:56:47Left field, pretty well struck.
00:56:49And that one is off the wall.
00:56:53Safely into second.
00:56:55He's got a double.
00:57:00Anytime you smoke a ball off the wall,
00:57:02you kind of think about what it could have been.
00:57:04But obviously, you have to be happy with that result.
00:57:08And now it'll be Christian Yellich.
00:57:14Base hit into the outfield.
00:57:17Ground's third, headed for the plate.
00:57:19Throw is high and over his head.
00:57:21And in comes the runner from second to score.
00:57:24A big mistake there.
00:57:26Well, Singy, he is locked in there.
00:57:29Well, he's really slowed the game down.
00:57:31And it's like he's moving in full speed and everybody is a step or two behind.
00:57:36The way that he squared up that baseball tells me that he is seeing it like a beach ball.
00:57:42The 0-1.
00:57:44That one kicks away from the catcher.
00:57:47Throws to second.
00:57:48Not going to get him.
00:57:49He's in there.
00:57:50And now a man into scoring position.
00:57:52You know, sometimes it takes a reliever, a little time to get comfortable with the mound out there.
00:57:57Especially when they come in trying to be nasty with every pitch they throw.
00:58:00Not exactly what they were looking for when they called him in, though.
00:58:03We'll see if he can settle down.
00:58:13And that's a base hit.
00:58:17Stop sign goes up at third.
00:58:19Runners at the corners.
00:58:21Nobody out.
00:58:23Up now for Milwaukee.
00:58:25South Freeland.
00:58:26Struck out on just three pitches last time.
00:58:30Plenty of offense in this one, Singy.
00:58:33I guess you'd say kind of what we expected, though.
00:58:35Well, this was a game, looking at the pitching matchup, where you expected offense to score.
00:58:42And not as lopsided as this.
00:58:45But, yeah, you definitely expected to see some offense coming up.
00:58:51Gets a piece there.
00:58:52We'll do it again.
00:58:58Going two now.
00:59:01On the ground.
00:59:02The third might be two.
00:59:03Got him on the off-balance throw.
00:59:06Finally gets the first out here on the grounder.
00:59:13One out, man, at first.
00:59:15Luis Renjifo up now for the Brewers.
00:59:18Luis Renjifo.
00:59:23Right through there for a strike.
00:59:31And strike two.
00:59:32Very well executed changeup right there.
00:59:34If he can command the fastball consistently, that's going to be an important pitch in terms of him turning this
00:59:39outing around.
00:59:41And a foul ball.
00:59:43He stays alive.
00:59:47Four runs already in the frame.
00:59:50Here, the bottom half of the eighth inning.
00:59:54That's awfully close.
00:59:55I don't know how you take that.
00:59:56He's seeing the ball out of the pitcher's hand really well right now.
01:00:02Strike him out without a swing.
01:00:05Couldn't pull the trigger on a fastball at the knees.
01:00:07Well executed pitch on the outside part of the plate.
01:00:15Jake Bowers up now for the Brewers.
01:00:21Ball one, no strikes.
01:00:28Freeland, the runner at first with two gone.
01:00:32That's ball two.
01:00:41Swing and a miss.
01:00:42There's the changeup.
01:00:44Sold it really well with the arm speed.
01:00:46Swung underneath it.
01:00:48So changeup that stayed a little bit more on playing than what he was anticipating.
01:00:55The three-one.
01:00:57And a foul ball.
01:01:00Three-two, two out.
01:01:02Runner on first.
01:01:03A lot of movement in the infield.
01:01:04Hitters got to stay focused on the pitch.
01:01:07Three-two down.
01:01:09Struck him out swinging.
01:01:11That'll end the inning after a lot of scoring.
01:01:14They get four runs on five hits.
01:01:16No errors.
01:01:17It'll lead one.
01:01:18Ninth inning coming up.
01:01:20Milwaukee leads it.
01:01:22We're back.
01:01:23It's the top of the ninth.
01:01:24And there's a new pitcher on the mound.
01:01:26D.L. Hall.
01:01:27And he's got a nice lead to work with.
01:01:29So he should come in throwing strikes attacking these hitters.
01:01:33Here's the catcher.
01:01:34Nick Fortes.
01:01:50Next offering.
01:01:51Pop foul off to the right out of play.
01:02:03Ball one.
01:02:11Swings through it for the K.
01:02:13And a strikeout for the first out here in the ninth.
01:02:17We saw a solid effort out of their starter.
01:02:19And the bullpen is following suit.
01:02:21It's just a good day as a manager or as a pitching coach
01:02:23when you can hand the ball off to multiple arms
01:02:26and get stability from all of their performances.
01:02:30Simpson in the box as he fouls off the first pitch.
01:02:41Way inside and that hit him.
01:02:44Right there.
01:02:45Up next for Tampa Bay.
01:02:47Shortstop.
01:02:47So next to the plate for Tampa Bay.
01:02:49Taylor Walls.
01:02:510 for 3 in this one.
01:03:00Grounds one to short.
01:03:02Ortiz.
01:03:03Over to Terrain.
01:03:04One.
01:03:04But safe at first.
01:03:06It's a fielder's choice.
01:03:08Well, an aggressive slide at second base, but it was legal.
01:03:11I like it because you're trying to break up the double play
01:03:14and it looked like the slide impacted the throw a little bit.
01:03:17Nice job by the base runner.
01:03:19So it's their last chance in this one.
01:03:21Yandy Diaz.
01:03:23Next to hit for the Rays.
01:03:25Eight.
01:03:31The Brewers up big in this one.
01:03:33Here at the top of the ninth.
01:03:40That one is absolutely belted.
01:03:43Way back there.
01:03:43It's got a chance.
01:03:44And it one hops the wall.
01:03:47Headed for the plate.
01:03:49Throw cut off to second.
01:03:51Not in time.
01:03:51It's a double.
01:03:53Up next for Tampa Bay.
01:03:55Second baseman, Jonathan Aranda.
01:03:57So next, Jonathan Aranda.
01:04:06Spots the plate.
01:04:08It's 0-1.
01:04:10Diaz at second with two down.
01:04:19Blind into right.
01:04:21Makes the catch.
01:04:23Bargain.
01:04:24And the Brewers collect their first win of the season.
01:04:29Offensive explosion today for these players.
01:04:31They gave up a few runs.
01:04:32But they had more than enough firepower to turn this one into a blowout.
01:04:59They gave up a few runs.
01:05:02They gave up a few runs.
01:05:02They gave up a few runs.
01:05:02They gave up a few runs.
01:05:05They gave up a few runs.
