00:01On the Hill tonight for the Giants will be the right-hander Landon Roop Roop in his second year at
00:06the big league level 6-2 220 pounder. He's 27 years of age and at 7 starts 5-2 with
00:12a 3-1-8 ERA with 43 strikeouts and 39 and two-thirds.
00:16This will be the first time that he ever faces the Pirates. O'Neal Cruz will stand in. Got him.
00:22And that's how this game gets started.
00:25Take a look at the way that ball sank. It started in the strike zone dropped down below the knees
00:31and he gets a swing over.
00:32Crew struck out. Lau has walked and now Reynolds will come up. Switch hitter batting left at 248 with four
00:38home runs.
00:38There's a bouncer to second not hit that hard. Charged by a rice. He quickly throws the second in time
00:43for the out.
00:44That's a good play. I mean that's just a quick turn with no stride and a perfect throw.
00:48Every day we say something positive about the defense of Louisa Rice. Here's Ryan O'Hearn.
00:55Got him. And that will end the inning with a little delayed call by Jacob Metz.
01:00We're going to get a challenge.
01:04It's Nick Gonzalez stomps away like, what?
01:08The whole ball was in it.
01:11Giants are coming up.
01:12Numbers for Mr. Braxton.
01:14Seven starts, 41 and two-thirds innings of work.
01:17Came in that last start. He looked really good.
01:19And, you know, watching Braxton work. Pitch at 14 walks and 41 and two-thirds innings.
01:24There's a swing. Line drive in the left field.
01:26Base hit. Threw him a curveball at 86.
01:29And Arias said, that's the one I've been looking for.
01:33Here's Ramos.
01:34Line drive. Base hit.
01:36Arias is on the move.
01:39And a good, strong throw by Cruz.
01:43It's ridiculous what he's got hanging on his right side.
01:45You know, a lot of people caught an arm, but I don't know.
01:48I think he did have a license for it.
01:50He's swinging the ground ball right to second.
01:51And Lau on the short for one.
01:53Relay to a double play.
01:55And so a seventh double play turned behind Braxton Ashcraft already this season.
02:05And a strike.
02:07That's a confident man.
02:09Challenge that he's getting undressed on the way to first.
02:13Hang with him.
02:16Come on back.
02:18By the way, you're out of ABS challenges.
02:21See, I mean, we had no idea that the ABS could be this entertaining.
02:27This is foul.
02:28Whoa.
02:31The ball, dude.
02:32There you go.
02:33Al Ruiz.
02:34Had it played perfectly.
02:35I got it.
02:36I got it.
02:37I got it.
02:37Yeah.
02:38Right there in the semi-sweet spot.
02:40There's Big Al making friends.
02:41Big Al is so happy he got that play out of the way in the second inning.
02:4611th pitch of this at bat coming up.
02:47And a fly ball to left.
02:50Back to the wall.
02:51And, oh, off the top of the wall.
02:55He almost had 3-0-1.
02:57Oh, soon into second base with a double.
03:00One ball and two strikes.
03:01Nothing, nothing game.
03:02Here is strike three called to Horowitz.
03:05And he didn't like the call, but what's he gonna do about it?
03:07They're out of challenges in the second inning.
03:10They used up two challenges, and that ball showed up on the ABS as being a few inches above the
03:16top of the zone.
03:17Up around the lettering on his shirt.
03:19Curveball struck him out swinging.
03:21Prototype of the great two-strike curveball came in like a strike right down the middle of the plate.
03:26And then it bit and dipped down below the knees.
03:29Now Joey Bart, the former Giant, ground ball to third to his left.
03:33Chapman's got it.
03:33The throw over the first in time.
03:36A little bit high.
03:37Devers had to try to go up high to snare it.
03:42Trying to keep his foot in the bag, and he did.
03:44That's a good pitch.
03:46Ninety-four mile-powered slider, Joe.
03:49Third strikeout for Ashcraft for a three-three.
03:51He has seen a ton of pitches in this game already.
03:53It's the fourth inning.
03:54This will be the 18th pitch he's seen.
03:56And he strikes out swinging on a high cutter.
03:59I think that was a good pitch from Rube.
04:01He doesn't throw many cutters.
04:02He's on everything that's down.
04:04That one was up, and he swung right through it.
04:06And the Giants are going to have to start to think about bullpen options if this goes on any longer.
04:123-2.
04:13Horwitz takes low.
04:14Ball four.
04:15So he ended up walking him on the 11th pitch of the at-bat.
04:19A two-out walk to bring up the rookie Connor Griffin.
04:22Griffin extended him to ten pitches before striking out in his first at-bat.
04:27Strike three called on the outside corner.
04:30Griffin frozen by that four-seam fastball.
04:33Oh, and Rube does once again get through it.
04:36Give him credit for not giving in.
04:38That's the 200th career strikeout in the big leagues for Landon Rube.
04:42Arias, hunched stance, waiting.
04:44Here's an 0-2.
04:45Swing and a fly ball hit out to fairly deep right field on that curveball.
04:49And a leaping catch by O'Hearn.
04:52I'll tell you what, Ryan O'Hearn made a heck of a catch there.
04:55That ball was laced by Arias, and that turned around Ryan O'Hearn.
04:59He went back on the ball, then had to turn around and make a leaping catch.
05:03The pitch is trying to slowly towards short.
05:05Griffin fields, exchanges, throws, and gets Ramos on a good play at short.
05:10Two outs.
05:11When he lets go of a ball, man, it fills.
05:13It's a laser over there across the infield.
05:15And the two-strike pitch swung on a miss, struck him out,
05:18and a nice, tidy inning for Braxton Ashcraft.
05:22Standing at just 43 pitches through four innings.
05:25So the base hit by Bart, the infield hit, brings in Brian Barucki.
05:31O'Neal Cruz is 0-2 with a couple of strikeouts.
05:34Ground ball, headed up the middle and a base hit,
05:36and this puts runners at first and third.
05:39Thank you, Giants.
05:40Runners at the corners.
05:42Brandon Lau now facing the lefty.
05:44Left-handed batters, 167 average versus Barucki.
05:48And Lau puts a drive into one in right center field,
05:51and that will be a sacrifice fly.
05:54Now Reynolds with first base empty, a switch hitter.
05:58He'll bat right-handed.
05:59Pitch is swung on and hit past third and into left base hit.
06:01Late jump for Cruz.
06:03He'll still be waved home.
06:04Here's Ramos' throw.
06:06It's offline.
06:07And Reynolds can scamper into second.
06:09Cruz will score on the base hit by Reynolds.
06:112-0 Pirates in the fifth.
06:12Two infield singles in this fifth inning.
06:15Reynolds to third.
06:16This is a big moment in this game with the Giants down 2-0.
06:21Power at the plate.
06:22So Zuna.
06:22Runner goes.
06:24The throw.
06:25And they got him.
06:26They're not going to challenge.
06:27He was out.
06:28He was not that close.
06:29Bryce Eldridge, six feet, seven inches tall.
06:33Bryce Eldridge leads off for the Giants
06:34and hits a high fly ball to right field.
06:37Going deep.
06:37Way back there.
06:38Still going.
06:39Adios!
06:41That ball bounces out into San Francisco Bay.
06:45The first big league home run for Bryce Eldridge.
06:49Highly anticipated first major league homer.
06:52That is a message to all of baseball and an impressive swing of the bat.
06:57Man, what's happening with the feel here for Ryan Walker.
07:01So over to second base now goes Horwitz.
07:04So the walk.
07:05Now a wild pitch.
07:06And that guy is at second.
07:08He just yanked that pitch.
07:09Runner in scoring position for the Pirates.
07:11Fights this one off and into center field.
07:14Runner going to be waved.
07:16The throw is way off the mark.
07:18Hunter Griffin delivers.
07:20Horwitz scores.
07:21Griffin into second base.
07:23RBI single.
07:253-1 bucko.
07:26The walk of the wild pitch.
07:27Come back to hurt the Giants.
07:29Two free passes at 90 feet.
07:30Little jam shot.
07:31Griffin gets the job done.
07:322-0 pitch.
07:34Dribbler.
07:34Pass first and into right base hit.
07:36Red by Griffin.
07:37And he will streak to the plate.
07:39Here's the throw.
07:39He's in there with a hit for slide.
07:42Connor Griffin scores on the base hit by Joey Bart.
07:45And the Pirates add on two more here in the sixth.
07:47They're up 4-1 in San Francisco.
07:49And the Boo Birds come out here in San Francisco.
07:52Joey Bart on it first.
07:54Picking up his fifth RBI of the season.
07:56And he just keeps ripping lefties.
08:00Another hit.
08:01For O'Neal Cruz off a southpaw.
08:04See if Lau can do the same thing O'Neal did.
08:061-2 pitch.
08:08Strike three call.
08:09And there he threw a changeup right at the knees.
08:12The second out and the first out.
08:13Now here's Brian Reynolds.
08:16Now Gage throws.
08:17Ground ball to short.
08:18Over to his left goes Adamas.
08:20He scoops it up.
08:21Didn't.
08:21That was not easy.
08:23I'll tell you that.
08:24And he did hang on to it.
08:26And then throws him out at first to India.
08:29Giants trailing 4-1.
08:30Lee at third.
08:32Ramos at first.
08:33Now here is Bryce Eldridge who is accounted for the Giants only run.
08:37He homered his first big league homer back in the fifth inning.
08:40Swing.
08:41Fly ball.
08:41Deep left field.
08:43Reynolds sizing it up on the warning track.
08:46And he'll make the catch.
08:47Just a few feet shy of the wall.
08:49Eldridge tried to go oppo.
08:52But it's Ashcraft and the Pirates with the lead.
08:55Pirates now with ten hits.
08:57And he's got the opportunity and he takes advantage of it.
09:01Wide open.
09:02Nick Gonzalez.
09:03His third straight hit.
09:05Here's Horwitz.
09:06Pirates four.
09:07Giants one.
09:08Wouldn't hurt to get some insurance here.
09:10Swing and a ball fought off.
09:11Head in to left.
09:12Ramos comes on.
09:13And lost it in the lights.
09:15He goes off his glove.
09:16Backed up by Lee.
09:17And O'Hearn will amble around third.
09:20He'll come in to score.
09:21And runners are at second and third for the Pirates.
09:24They get a run in.
09:24It's five to one here in the seventh.
09:26Yeah.
09:27Big break as you go as a hit.
09:28Low line drive.
09:29It just doesn't get out of the lights until the last minute.
09:33And try to fight it off as long as you can.
09:35And unfortunately a ball was able to drop in there for the Pirates.
09:39And now they have second and third with Connor Griffin up.
09:42And the infield is drawn in.
09:43Just reaches out.
09:44A fly ball to right.
09:45Gonzalez has to get back.
09:46He does.
09:47And time enough to tag.
09:49He better hurry.
09:50And he will.
09:50The ball is cut off.
09:52Sacrifice fly Griffin.
09:54Pirates lead it six to one.
09:56Joey getting that home run in Arizona.
09:58Maybe gaining a little bit of confidence.
09:59Feeling better about it.
10:01A field dropping.
10:02And a base hit for Bart.
10:04Make it 7-1.
10:06Bart three hits.
10:08Yeah.
10:08This has got to feel exceptionally good for Joey Bart against the team that drafted him.
10:12Does a nice job.
10:13That's a good pitch from JT Brubaker.
10:15And especially in a full count like that.
10:17He does a great job getting enough of it to get it into the outfield and push a run across.
10:21From the fifth, sixth, and seventh inning, the Pirates have 11 hits.
10:26This is hit on the ground to Adamus and it's in and out of his glove.
10:30This is just not getting it out of your glove clean.
10:33And when the wheels come off, it's difficult to hear it from the fans.
10:39But the play has not been, has not been good.
10:41When you say the wheels come off, I mean in games like this, I mean at times it can be
10:45hard to hold your concentration.
10:47And just about everything that could possibly go wrong has gone wrong.
10:50Fly ball right center field.
10:51That's getting down.
10:53That's scoring two.
10:55Brandon Lau into second base.
10:57Why not?
10:58He's headed to third with a trip, trip, triple.
11:05And a laugher is coming here in San Fran.
11:08Nine to one Pirates.
11:10Just wanted to join the party.
11:11And O'Hearn started this inning with a base hit.
11:13That was off Brubaker.
11:15And bounced and dropped.
11:16A chance for O'Hearn.
11:18He's safe.
11:20Ten to one.
11:21Yeah, this has been a disaster inning for the Giants.
11:24But that's why there's value in not striking out, Brown.
11:27Yes.
11:27Put the ball in play.
11:28Yep.
11:29Force the other team to make a play to get you out.
11:32Never know what can happen.
11:33Well, that's the bad news right there.
11:35It's ten to one.
11:37But the good news is, is Christian Koss is going to be on the mound.
11:41Line to left field.
11:42Brandon Lau pick up an easy ribby.
11:46Eleven to one.
11:48And a double.
11:49Mr. Koss in the ERA now.
11:51Give yourself a state to a chance to keep your swing where it's at.
11:56Here at Triolo bounces one up the middle.
11:58He picks up an RBI.
12:01Twelve to one.
12:02First at bat for Triolo.
12:04Reynolds was one for four in that position of the order.
12:09Pass the pitcher.
12:11And this is a 6-3 double play.
12:15No RBI for O'Hearn.
12:17And it's 13 to one.
12:19Second big blow up for the Pirates in a week.
12:22And this ball to right.
12:24Fair ball.
12:26Double for Nick Gonzalez.
12:29And Nicky G has four hits.
12:31Four hits for Bart.
12:33Four hits for Nick Gonzalez.
12:35Most of the Pirates.
12:36Only one of the hitters Pirates have sent up there has made an out.
12:39There's a liner to first.
12:41Lunging to his left and making the catch just above the dirt.
12:44Bryce Eldridge to end the inning.
12:48Oh there's a ball high and did that hit him in the helmet?
12:52Did that beat him?
12:53He's on the ground.
12:55Now he gets up under his own power.
12:58And as Tony Vitello comes out.
13:01And the Giants trainer Anthony Reyes.
13:05And he is going to escort him off the field.
13:10We hope he's okay.
13:123-1 offering.
13:13And it's ball four.
13:15Of course he's in a run.
13:17Ramos in the score.
13:18Listen to these fans.
13:20It's 13 to two.
13:22Giants fans are amazing.
13:23They want to be happy.
13:25They're just looking for anything to cheer about.
13:27Here's a swing and a ball into left field.
13:29Falling.
13:30In there.
13:31Base hit.
13:32Porter in the score from third.
13:34Chapman stops at third.
13:36Gilbert over to second.
13:37Now it's 13 to three.
13:39And Jung-Hoo Lee comes up.
13:40Here's a 1-1.
13:41And a swing and a ball shot into left.
13:43York coming on.
13:44And makes a shoestring catch to end the ball game.
13:47Pirates whip up on the Giants.
13:49Even the series wasn't pretty at the very end.
13:53But the Bucks will certainly take this big W.
