00:01It is rivalry weekend as the San Francisco Giants come to town to face the A's.
00:07Giants historically have not had a lot of success against Sovale.
00:12Five previous career starts against the Giants at a 2.05 earned run average.
00:19And on the inside corner ring him up.
00:22Perfect pitch.
00:22A cutter.
00:23So Sovale works a 1-2-3 top of the first.
00:26This series is always special for Tyler Soderstrom.
00:29A Turlock, California native.
00:31His father played for the San Francisco Giants.
00:34Now Tyler on the long-term contract with the A's.
00:36He lifts this in the air to left.
00:38That's curling away from Ramos on the run.
00:40He's not going to get there.
00:42And it hops over the wall for an automatic double for Tyler Soderstrom.
00:47And there you have it.
00:48Ball slightly elevated up out over the heart of the plate.
00:51So he drives it down that left field line, able to keep it fair.
00:55Brent now at 190, has five home runs, 18 runs batted in.
00:59One for five in his career off of Malley.
01:01Swing!
01:02You're going to miss.
01:03A good pitch early once again here for Tyler Malley.
01:0618 and 26.
01:08Worst record for the Giants.
01:09This point in the season since 2008.
01:12Fly to center.
01:14Volte going back.
01:15Still going on the track.
01:17He reaches up and makes the catch.
01:19That warm, stagnant air.
01:22Had a beat on this off the bat.
01:23Ball just continued to carry.
01:25Here's Bryce Eldridge and tough sledding for Eldridge since he was called up from AAA from here.
01:30He'll bounce it over to the first baseman, Kurtz.
01:33Henry Volte leads off for the A's.
01:35No score.
01:36Bottom of the second.
01:370-2.
01:38A swing and a high fly ball along the right field line.
01:41Lee moving over towards the line.
01:43Reaches out to his side and makes the catch.
01:45Ended up in foul territory in that part of this yard.
01:50You quickly run out of foul ground.
01:52Gelof draws a five-pitch walk.
01:55Average now up to 2.42 for Darrell.
01:57He has Gelof at first in the right side open.
02:00Popped into shallow right.
02:02In comes Lee.
02:03It will drop down.
02:04It's a base hit for Hernase.
02:06Gelof didn't stop running.
02:07He's at third.
02:09So Hernase dunks a single to right.
02:11Hernase has five hits in his last nine at-bats.
02:14And the A's have him on the corners.
02:15For Jeff McNeil.
02:17McNeil a .342 hitter with two outs.
02:20He has him on the corners.
02:21Grounded.
02:22Through for a base hit.
02:23That's going to go all the way to the wall.
02:26Gelof scores.
02:28Hernase being waved home.
02:29It's going to be a close play.
02:31Backhanded by Suset.
02:33The tag applied.
02:35But it is an RBI McDouble for Jeff McNeil for the moment.
02:39That second runner gets cut down.
02:42Hernase lead to a rise to Suset.
02:46And they got him at home.
02:48What a play by Daniel Suset.
02:49My goodness.
02:50We go to the bottom of the third.
02:52It's a 1-0 A's lead.
02:54As Nick Kurtz will eat things off.
03:11Swing.
03:11Ain't going to miss.
03:12Smalley with his fourth strikeout.
03:15Winning number four here in Sacramento.
03:17And Luis Arise will be the hitter against the right hitter Aaron Saval.
03:20These were three shutout innings.
03:22Only allowed the one walk.
03:23High drive down the right field line.
03:27Fair or foul.
03:28It is out of here.
03:32And Arise has got his first home run in a Giants uniform.
03:36And this game is tied.
03:38A towering drive down the right field line.
03:42Off the bat of Luis Arise ties this game at 1.
03:47And listen to these Giants fans here in Sacramento.
03:50Back-to-back hits for Ramos and Adamas bringing up Eldridge.
03:55You'd love to see Bryce just come out of his shoes here on one of these.
03:58Line it to McNeil who's right there to make the catch.
04:02He's pitched well thus far.
04:04Four strikeouts in his first three innings.
04:07As Rooker swings and misses.
04:08Strike three.
04:09Foul tips it into the mid of Susack.
04:12One down here in the bottom of the fourth.
04:14Got him.
04:15Elevates the fastball there at 92.
04:19Another strikeout for Malley.
04:20That's number six.
04:22We know that Bolte brings that added dimension of speed as well.
04:26Runner goes.
04:28Susack's throw.
04:29There.
04:30And they got him.
04:31You're right.
04:32He does have a cannon.
04:33Daniel Susack is doing it all defensively here for the Giants in his first game back.
04:41Here comes Harrison Bader on a three-game hitting streak.
04:44This offseason signed a two-year, $20.5 million contract with these San Francisco Giants in late January.
04:51It's this one down the line.
04:53Very well into the corner and out of here.
04:58Harrison Bader with a line drive.
05:00Home run to left.
05:02Home runs in back-to-back innings for the Giants who now lead this game 2-1.
05:08As you mentioned, his second home run on this road trip.
05:11He was just activated on Monday.
05:13As the Giants are making very solid contact against Aaron Savali right now.
05:19So here's Devers who's walked and flied to right.
05:21They run the 3-2 pitch.
05:23It's swung on and missed.
05:25Gets him with a cutter.
05:26Huge pitch by Savali.
05:28And Hernase is beaten by a step.
05:30Nice play by Susack.
05:31Cool, calm, and collected.
05:33But the sacrifice does advance Lawrence into scoring position.
05:37Jeff doubled and drove in Gelof in the second inning.
05:40Lifted into left.
05:42It's sinking and it drops.
05:45Butler to third.
05:46McNeil at first.
05:48A's have him on the corners.
05:49Ramos almost a great play at left.
05:52But it dropped just quick enough for McNeil to have his second hit in as many at-bats.
05:57The man coming up leads the team in average with runners in scoring position this year.
06:02Kurtz 440.
06:04First pitch.
06:04Fly ball left center field.
06:06Bats traveling back.
06:08It is way more.
06:09Oh, my goodness.
06:124-2.
06:14And I think they awoke the sleeping bear here in the fifth.
06:19Three straight games.
06:20A homer all the left center field.
06:23And I think it's safe to say, Dallas, Nick Kurtz is back.
06:29And that quickly, as he's done so many times, he shoots the is in front.
06:34A's have him on the corners.
06:36Again, Dallas, another big inning of offense.
06:38Bolte looking for more.
06:40Line drive.
06:41In the left of base hit.
06:43You called it.
06:44Langoliers home.
06:45Bolte his second.
06:47RBI is a big leaguer.
06:49And they keep the line moving.
06:515-2.
06:52Come on.
06:525-9 to start your big league career.
06:54And the A's lead 5-2.
06:56And now Joel Kudel is in the game.
06:59His 17th appearance.
07:00Sub-3 ERA.
07:01As Ramos swings and fouls it off his foot.
07:05Kudel just rears back and strikes out Ramos.
07:08And a 96-mile-per-hour four-seam challenge to the inner half.
07:12Well, these are the very situations that Tony Vitello, Giants manager, wants to see some fight in his ball club.
07:18Shot on the ground and a fair ball down the line.
07:23Adamus will dig for two and that's where he'll end up with a double.
07:27See if that can start a rally here for the Giants.
07:30Kadamis at third.
07:31Two out.
07:32Sixth inning.
07:335-2-8.
07:332-2.
07:34But he will come up empty here.
07:36Kudel gets out of the inning without any damage done.
07:38The one out in the seventh.
07:40And that will bring up Luis Arise, the second baseman.
07:43Here's a line drive over the leaping Kurtz.
07:45And down into the right field corner.
07:48Giants are going to run for a while.
07:50Bader to third.
07:51He's going to be held there.
07:53Into second.
07:54Luis Arise.
07:55His third hit of the night.
07:58And here come the Giants now in the seventh.
08:01Two in scoring position with one down.
08:04And Matt Chapman coming up.
08:06Two and two.
08:07Fly ball to right.
08:08It's curling away from Butler.
08:10And it is foul.
08:12Just foul.
08:13That would have easily brought the game within one.
08:16But it just went foul.
08:18Yeah, not by a lot.
08:203-2 home.
08:21Struck him out.
08:23Suarez able to get out Chapman with the fastball.
08:27So now with two outs, it's up to Devers.
08:30Tying run still at the plate.
08:32Defensive swing on a hop.
08:33Kurtz is there.
08:34He'll take it himself.
08:35And Suarez gets out of some traffic with no damage done.
08:38There is also a new left fielder in Casey Schmidt, the utility man.
08:43Yeah, we saw Emilio Ramos.
08:480-2 pitch.
08:50That caught his jersey.
08:51Maybe a little bit more.
08:53Well inside.
08:55And Kurtz reaches again.
08:57Here's Langoliers.
08:59Here's a hard one hopper to short.
09:00Snared by Adamus to his left.
09:02Flips to second for one.
09:04And over to first.
09:05A double play.
09:06That was spectacular by the Giants.
09:09Started by Willie Adamus at short.
09:11Nifty double play in Arise.
09:13We all know how quick he is.
09:14Turned it nicely.
09:15As the A's lead 5-2.
09:17And Harrison Bader will lead it off.
09:1924th appearance for Hogan.
09:21Three pitches.
09:22Three strikes.
09:23One out.
09:23He is rearing back and firing four-seamers.
09:27Down to their final out.
09:28Lisa Rice needs a triple to hit for the cycle.
09:32Rice swings.
09:33Grounds it off of Harris' glove.
09:34Back behind second.
09:35A sliding try from Herniaz.
09:37It's off his glove.
09:38Karam's over towards the second baseman O'Neal.
09:41And Arise is on.
09:43Picks up his fourth hit of this game.
09:46Now it's up to Matt Chapman to get Rafi Devers up there as a tie and run.
09:50Looping curveball.
09:51Cue shot up the third base side.
09:53Langoliers plays it fair.
09:54Throws to first.
09:55And that's the ball game.
09:57A's win 5-2.
09:59Harris gets his third save.
10:01And they open up this series on Rivalry Weekend with the WDB.
10:05Rivalry Weekend.
