00:01Saturday night baseball from Sacramento and tonight the Giants and A's meet in
00:06game two of the series on Armed Forces Day. For the A's tonight Luis Severino
00:10he's allowed just five runs over his last four starts. Casey Schmidt now will
00:15bat. Schmidt came in the game last night after Elliott Ramos was injured. Ramos
00:20is going to be out for a while. High drive to latch for Schmidt. It is out of here.
00:28So Casey Schmidt with his seventh of the year which leads this club in home run.
00:35A soaring drive to left for Schmidt his team leading seventh home run of the year.
00:42Here we go bottom of the first inning 1-0 Giants. Here's Soderstrom he was one for
00:46four last night 196. To one pitch lifted in the air to left that will sink away
00:52from Gilbert and drop down. Gilbert over to cut it off off his back foot throws to
00:57the second and Soderstrom for the second straight evening has an opposite field
01:02double. So here's Rooker who's hitting 192 but 280 this month.
01:07Sharply on the ground. Adamus sets throws and Devers digs it out and they got him.
01:13Well done there by Willie Adamus going into the hole.
01:17Adamus. Giants leading 1-0. He swings and drives one down the right field line slicing
01:22towards the corner. That will get down a hit as it one hops the wall. Butler plays
01:28the carom. Adamus on his way to second and he's got another double.
01:32In standing there and a good start to this second inning for the Giants.
01:36Drew Gilbert now with a runner at second. One out. Back to Severino. Moving to third. Adamus.
01:42Geloff is running him down. He will apply the tag and a very heads up play by Severino.
01:48But now he's hobbling around. There's a little buckle and he just kind of rolled over the ankle.
01:54Well Severino says he's all right. Harrison Bader will stand in. First pitch ground ball to third.
01:59Geloff goes the easy way to second. Trevor McDonald making just his third start of the season.
02:04He's made a few tours around the big leagues. And the 0-2 pitch. Bolte swings and misses.
02:09Strike three. Got him with a slider. Perfect pitch that ended up low and away off the plate.
02:16McDonald picks up his first strikeout of the night. Line drive. Adamus has got it.
02:22Three up three down for McDonald. There's one away. Here's Jung-Hoo Lee the right fielder.
02:29And a hop up to left field. And it falls. And now Jung-Hoo Lee's got to take the wide
02:35turn and come back.
02:36Soderstrom kept coming in hard and the wind kept pushing it back.
02:40So there is the first walk drawn by the Giants tonight.
02:44It's now first and second one out for the designated hitter Casey Schmidt.
02:47The Giants haven't had a hit with a runner in scoring position since Tuesday.
02:52Schmidt a little nubber. And this one's going to fall. And it's going to load the bases.
02:58The Giants get that much needed a hit with a runner in scoring position. It doesn't produce a run.
03:04But now the bases are loaded with only the one out for Devers.
03:08Part of the reasons the Giants picked up Rafi Devers was for spots like this.
03:12And he will strike out Rafael Devers who deploys an ABS champion.
03:19And he will be disappointed.
03:20So now Willie Adamas hit a double his first time.
03:23Adamas swings. Line drive. Base hit into right field.
03:27Scoring is Lee. Right behind him a rise. The throw is well too late.
03:32Now a throw down to second. And out there is Adamas.
03:36And the inning is over. But Willie Adamas delivers a two-out, two-run single.
03:43We go to the top of the fourth. It's a 3-0 Giants lead.
03:46Here's Gilbert. Gilbert drives one.
03:49Right center field on the move is Bote.
03:51He's up against the wall. And it's off the wall.
03:54And laying on the ground. Gilbert's on the move.
03:57Still on the move. And they're going to hold him at third.
04:00And they're trying to see if Bote's all right.
04:02He really slammed shoulder first into that wall.
04:06You know, he looked like he had it in his glove. It just popped out.
04:08And it's good to see that Henry's okay.
04:10And it's up to Jesus Rodriguez.
04:13Grounded out in his first at-bat.
04:15The 1-1 pitch. That's bounced toward the second base.
04:17Making the play on the second off is McNeil.
04:19Jeff on to first. And Severino pitches out of it.
04:21Brooker grounded out to short.
04:23His only time up. He's 0 for 1.
04:25Right side open. Ground ball up the middle.
04:27And a play from Arise. Short hop to Adamas, who picks it and is at second base.
04:34He points the dugout.
04:35He thinks they may have gotten the lead runner in Soderstrom.
04:38And opting to not take a look at it, I think probably a mistake on the Giants' part.
04:45Chopper. Arise to his left side.
04:48Retired.
04:49So here is Casey Schmidt, who, in addition to that first inning solo home run,
04:53had a third inning single.
04:55Schmidt goes the other way.
04:57It's down the line.
04:59And it is gone!
05:01It hit the foul pole!
05:03A two-run home run for Casey Schmidt!
05:08His second homer of the night!
05:11Just able to keep that one fair.
05:14Have a night, Casey Schmidt.
05:17It is 5-0 Giants.
05:19Debra is single.
05:21Adamas is single.
05:22Matt Chapman coming up.
05:23He's 0-2 with two strikeouts.
05:26And a check-swing roller.
05:27Kurtz has got it.
05:28And that's safe!
05:30Everybody's safe!
05:31Kurtz's throw was a little high, and it pulled Pernese off the bag.
05:36But now the bases are loaded.
05:38So Gilbert, and he's 1-2, he tripled last time up.
05:421-2.
05:43Severino strikes out Gilbert on a cutter.
05:45So it's two away, and that'll bring up Harris and Bader.
05:49He hits a high drive.
05:51Very deep to the left!
05:54And the wind knocked it down, and that ends the inning.
05:57In deep left center, Bader just missed it.
06:02Butler will draw a leadoff walk.
06:03Good start.
06:04That's the first walk issued by McDonald tonight.
06:07Darrell struck out swinging against McDonald.
06:09Line drive over a rise into right center field.
06:13Moving to cut it off is Lee.
06:16Butler didn't stop running.
06:17Now first and third, nobody out.
06:19And Darrell able to square one up off of Trevor McDonald.
06:23First and third, nobody out here.
06:25See if Jeff McNeil can't find the hole.
06:271-2 pitch.
06:28Hit hard.
06:28Nice play by Devers.
06:29They go to second for one.
06:32Coming in to score, Butler and Rafael Devers robbing Jeff McNeil of at least a single, maybe more.
06:40He's homered in three straight.
06:41He's reached in 38 consecutive games.
06:44And he went around.
06:46Could not lay off the low sinker.
06:49Out number two here in the bottom of the fifth.
06:51His 60th strikeout of the year for Kurtz.
06:54Got the strikeout there.
06:55Here's a liner caught by McDonald.
06:57McDonald off the bat of Langoliers.
07:00McDonald reaching to his side.
07:02He's going to their bullpen for the first time tonight.
07:05Devers one for three.
07:07Devers lines it into right center.
07:09He's got another hit.
07:10Long run for Butler.
07:11He can't cut it off.
07:13It rolls to the 380 marker.
07:16Picked up out there by Bolte.
07:17The center fielder is Devers cruising into second.
07:21And he's got himself a leadoff double.
07:24Willie Adames, who is 13 for his last 29.
07:27And a chopper to third.
07:29Charging his gel off.
07:31He throws it away.
07:33Devers will go to third.
07:35And it'll be an error on Geloff.
07:38Another one of these spots for Chapman where he can make it out.
07:42And do something positive here for the Giants.
07:45Chapman with a base hit.
07:47Down the left field line.
07:49Devers scores.
07:51Adames is headed to third.
07:53Chapman's got a double.
07:55And boy, did that feel good for that young man at second.
07:58Giants now lead 6-1.
08:01Only four hits allowed by Trevor McDonald tonight.
08:05Got him.
08:06For Trevor McDonald.
08:09Another strikeout for McDonald.
08:11And that is his fifth.
08:14Hernais lifts it in the air to right center.
08:16Lee on the run.
08:17He's still going.
08:18And it is off the base of the wall.
08:21Hernais another multi-hit effort.
08:23The Giants are trying to get McDonald here through this seventh inning.
08:27He's not going to be able to do it.
08:28But still a phenomenal outing for the rookie right-hander in his fifth career big league start.
08:34Eric Miller just coming off the IEL with a lower back screen.
08:40Got him.
08:42And that'll end the inning.
08:44They just have two runners on with one out.
08:46They're trailing 6-1 in the eighth.
08:48This first hitter is Brent Rooker who's one for three.
08:52He's looked to cash in a few.
08:54First pitch.
08:55And that might help.
08:57Oh my goodness.
08:59Rooker makes it a two-run game.
09:03On the first pitch he sees in the bottom of the eighth.
09:06A three-run shot by Rooker.
09:09And the Giants' lead is now 6-4.
09:12It's 6-4 in favor of the Giants.
09:17Get in the air to center field.
09:19Bader coming in.
09:22Bader will make the catch.
09:23What a Daryl who needs his swung it out well tonight.
09:28Two for three.
09:29Big chopper.
09:31Adamus charges.
09:32Throws off balance.
09:33Two down.
09:34And the A's are down to their final out.
09:36And it will be a Heim now to bat for McNeil.
09:42That minute third.
09:44On the run.
09:46Got him.
09:47And that's the ball game.
09:48Rafi Devers doing a good job of staying on the bag.
09:51And the Giants, they're going to snap this three-game losing streak.
09:55Matt Gage goes three up, three down in the bottom of the ninth for his first Major League save.
10:01The Giants commanded the game and bring home a win.
10:06You never know when the trophy was something there.
10:06Daniel Namenizers holds one well.
