00:00:21From inside Tropicana Field here in Tampa Bay,
00:00:25the show brings you a matchup of division rivals.
00:00:28It's the New York Yankees taking on the Tampa Bay Rays.
00:00:35And we'll be back with the first pitch right after this.
00:00:42Getting the nod on the mound, Shane McClanahan.
00:00:45What do you got on him, Chris?
00:00:47Boogie pitched into the seventh, earned the W in his last start.
00:00:50He really needed that one.
00:00:52Well, this team needs another one today.
00:00:53We'll see if he can carry that performance into this game.
00:00:56Just about to get underway.
00:00:58Jazz Chisholm Jr.
00:01:00Stepping in now for the Yankees.
00:01:02And we are underway in game one of the series.
00:01:13That one fouled off.
00:01:23Got him.
00:01:25One gone here.
00:01:28As we take a look now at the New York Yankees lineup.
00:01:32It features a great veteran presence, Paul Goldschmidt.
00:01:36Well, he's an important part of this lineup for sure.
00:01:38I mean, there's no doubt about it.
00:01:39But it's somebody that they try to feed off of.
00:01:42He does a lot of things, you know, very well up there at the plate.
00:01:45He's got a presence about him.
00:01:47And he's a guy that you really kind of like to watch swing the bat.
00:01:50Aaron Judge now at the plate as he swings through strike one.
00:01:57And that's downstairs.
00:01:59One ball, one strike.
00:02:00Well, in terms of hitting rocket home runs, Judge is near the top of that list.
00:02:05Only Giancarlo Stanton has hit more with greater exit velocity than Judge.
00:02:09Look out though.
00:02:11Shohei is quickly climbing those charts.
00:02:16Strike three.
00:02:17And that's two in a row.
00:02:19Got him out on the front foot.
00:02:21Couldn't keep the hands back long enough.
00:02:23And played right into the hands of the pitcher.
00:02:27Two outs.
00:02:28Space is empty.
00:02:29Now here's Giancarlo Stanton.
00:02:32Ball one there.
00:02:40Ripped, but it curls foul.
00:02:47The lefty ready and a 1-1.
00:02:51Ball.
00:03:05Two down, nobody on.
00:03:09Nice grab.
00:03:12And very nicely done for the out.
00:03:16Now it's the Rays' turn.
00:03:18No score.
00:03:18Back after this on the show.
00:03:24Back now at the chop for the bottom of the first.
00:03:27The lefty on the mound for the Yankees, Max Freed.
00:03:30Singing he was impressive his last time out.
00:03:33He's off to a good start getting a win in his first start of the season.
00:03:37And so lifted a little bit of pressure right here.
00:03:39It's all about getting win number two.
00:03:41Stepping in, Jonathan Aranda.
00:03:49Yeah.
00:04:00Lifted in the air, left field, pretty well struck.
00:04:04One away.
00:04:08Now a look at Kevin Cash's lineup for the Tampa Bay Rays.
00:04:12They're dealing with a top-level arm on the mound, so this figures to be a tough matchup for him.
00:04:17What's the key to the offense today, Singy?
00:04:19Well, Boog, against a talented pitcher, it's crucial to disrupt his rhythm.
00:04:24Use bunts to get him off the mound and moving around out there.
00:04:27If he's in a flow, step out and break his timing.
00:04:30When he throws in the zone, you might only get one pitch, so you don't want to miss it.
00:04:41Get on the ground to the right side and foul ball.
00:04:51Field two.
00:04:52Field three.
00:05:08Battling here as he fouls it away.
00:05:170-2 now.
00:05:21Popped up.
00:05:23Bellinger settles underneath it.
00:05:26That's out number two.
00:05:32Batting third.
00:05:34Third baseman.
00:05:36Two down bases empty.
00:05:37Here's some real power at the plate.
00:05:40Junior Caminero.
00:05:45Top of the zone for a strike.
00:05:47And it's 0-1.
00:05:48Really good cutter that he's able to front door and back door.
00:05:53That pitch is devastating.
00:05:57On the ground right side.
00:06:00Chisholm.
00:06:01There with plenty of time and that ends the inning.
00:06:05Scoreless after one.
00:06:11All set for the start of the inning.
00:06:13And stepping in for the Yankees.
00:06:15Cody Bellinger.
00:06:20To the right side.
00:06:22Diaz.
00:06:23He steps on the bag.
00:06:25One pitch and one out.
00:06:27Batting fifth.
00:06:28Third baseman.
00:06:29Ryan McMahon.
00:06:30There's Ryan McMahon now.
00:06:48Just missed.
00:06:50McClanahan.
00:06:51Multi-time all-star.
00:06:5328 years old.
00:06:55A former first round pick.
00:06:56Back in 2018.
00:07:01And he hits a ground ball right side.
00:07:04And it goes just foul.
00:07:10Here's a one-two.
00:07:14Rips that one to right.
00:07:17He's got it.
00:07:18And there's two away.
00:07:19Man, that's one of those at-bats where you have to remind yourself it's about the process.
00:07:24He did everything right, right there.
00:07:25Nothing to show for it.
00:07:27But in your mind, you have to convince yourself that it was a very good at-bat.
00:07:36He's a bad ball hitter.
00:07:38So even if you get him to chase pitches outside the zone, he still might beat you.
00:07:42Not an easy out by any means.
00:07:58Lined, and that's a base hit.
00:08:02So a two-out knock keeps the inning alive.
00:08:05He made that look easy.
00:08:06Keeping his bat in the zone on playing for a long time.
00:08:10That leads to a high contact rate and more barrels, Boog.
00:08:14Even when you don't get it great, it still hit hard enough to dunk something in like that in front
00:08:19of the center fielder.
00:08:19Randall Gritchick stands in here, takes ball one low.
00:08:28Grounds one to short.
00:08:29Williams in plenty of time to first, and that is that.
00:08:35We'll go to the bottom of the second.
00:08:36No score.
00:08:39Bottom half of inning number two, and stepping in for the Rays, Chandler Simpson.
00:08:44Chandler Simpson.
00:08:51Ball.
00:08:56Ball.
00:09:15in the air left field and that'll fall for a base hit and a good start to the
00:09:21inning the relay to second the tag and they cut him down going for two next to
00:09:31hit Carson Williams
00:09:40hey and he'll challenge that called strike so the call will stand one
00:09:47challenge remaining for them now
00:09:58oh damn nothing nothing here in the bottom of the second
00:10:17the one two and a swing and a miss down on strikes that's out number two finished
00:10:26him off by blowing it by him up high but they did a really nice job of setting
00:10:30that pitch up the plan of attack early on was to keep everything down around the
00:10:34knees so that was a good call to change his eye level and run it by him for the
00:10:38K now Johnny DeLuca swing and a miss strike one
00:10:54next offering in there for a strike no balls two strikes
00:11:19foul it off and they'll do it again
00:11:27two down Dolbeni on
00:11:32hacks and misses it's a strikeout
00:11:35we'll move to the third with no score
00:11:43welcome back last series the pitching
00:11:45was not good as we take a check of the numbers
00:11:58that misses the zone ball one
00:12:08and another ball nice job to keep the hands back on that one out in front just a little bit
00:12:18swings and lines a base hit into left field
00:12:22man aboard on the leadoff single
00:12:26batting ninth shortstop now it's the shortstop
00:12:29Jose Caballero
00:12:33outside outside that's ball one
00:12:47foul ball there
00:12:52the scara aboard here at first with nobody out next pitch misses and that's ball two
00:13:05foul ball ball left side he'll see another
00:13:11here's a two two
00:13:13out towards right center field DeLuca has a bead on it
00:13:18and there's one down
00:13:23up next for the Yankees and here's a look at how he's using his pitches in this one
00:13:33back to the top of the Yankee order Jazz Chisholm Jr. will hit next he was a
00:13:38strikeout victim his first time
00:13:41no that's down
00:13:44top of the third no score
00:13:54on the corner for a strike and account one and two
00:14:03got him looking that was pretty nasty
00:14:11here's Judge now he's on for one
00:14:14right fielder Aaron Judge
00:14:17and our first pitch fastball is in for a strike
00:14:23fouled off left side
00:14:25little early on that fastball i'm sure the pitcher taking a note look for an
00:14:28off-speed pitch on this next one
00:14:32what a stop
00:14:34over to first it's there and that's a great play
00:14:39home half of the third coming up no score
00:14:45back here at Tropicana field at the plate now for the Rays is the DH
00:14:50coach Jake Fraley
00:14:57ball one
00:15:16the one one
00:15:20left field
00:15:23and he makes the catch and there's one down
00:15:27batting eight
00:15:28catcher Nick Fortes
00:15:31so next to the plate for Tampa Bay Nick Fortes
00:15:41go away
00:15:43go away
00:15:48let's go
00:15:49let's go
00:15:52let's go
00:15:53let's go
00:15:55hey
00:15:56let's go
00:16:04this one in the air right field and it stays fair so they get a man aboard with
00:16:11a one-out single
00:16:25now it's the right fielder Richie Palacios
00:16:33in the first pitch misses for ball one when you're taking your lead over there at first
00:16:37you've got to be very careful this guy on the mound's got a good pickoff move
00:16:47line drive base hit lead runner around second throw into third and he's got no chance he's out
00:16:57hey as a former center fielder I'm feeling pretty good right now it's an excellent job by this guy
00:17:02to come up throwing and deliver a strike to third base now for the offense that's a tough one to
00:17:06swallow because you never want to lose a runner in scoring position by making it out at third base
00:17:12Jonathan Aranda next to hit for the Rays
00:17:20Palacios off of first with two away
00:17:28Jack Swain called strike and it's nothing in two
00:17:41that's the third play made that ends the inning
00:17:46on to the fourth still scoreless
00:17:53back now in Tampa Bay start of the fourth John Carlos stepping in now for the Yankees
00:18:01McClanahan back to work
00:18:04he's been pitching well but we'll see what kind of adjustment the hitters make this second time
00:18:09through the order we'll know if he's got really good stuff in this one or not
00:18:33a one-two that's the third and foul ball
00:18:50the other way and he beats the shift
00:18:55so a man on base to start the inning
00:18:59not much to this one other than just a willingness to go the other way and put the ball in
00:19:04play
00:19:04that's a team at bat right there nice job of staying back and letting the ball get deep
00:19:08here comes Cody Bellinger
00:19:13drilled in the air out towards right center
00:19:16DeLuca under it
00:19:19and there's one down
00:19:25up next for the Yankees
00:19:27third baseman Ryan McMahon
00:19:30Ryan McMahon steps to the plate
00:19:32he's 0 for 1
00:19:41here comes the pitch
00:19:43there goes the runner from first
00:19:45slashed foul down the right side
00:19:47that'll hook off into the seats
00:19:53I don't think he was trying to miss by that much
00:19:55no two count just try to overthrow that bitch
00:20:00and he grounds one to the right side
00:20:02the turn by Williams in second
00:20:04what a double play that was
00:20:07inning over
00:20:08no runs one hit no errors
00:20:10and no one left
00:20:11for midway in the fourth
00:20:13no score
00:20:23bottom of the fourth and stepping in for the raise
00:20:25Yandy Diaz
00:20:34that one finds the zone
00:20:37strike one
00:20:38generally second third time through the lineup
00:20:40you want to be able to lean on those secondary pitches
00:20:43and command them
00:20:44looks like he's doing a nice job of it
00:20:47high fly ball right field
00:20:49Judge under it
00:20:51takes it in for the out
00:20:57up next for the raise
00:20:59third baseman
00:21:00so next to the plate for Tampa Bay
00:21:02Junior Caminero
00:21:04scoreless here
00:21:05but now he's got to deal with a guy
00:21:06who's got some power
00:21:08gotta be careful
00:21:09when you're talking about a hitter
00:21:11with this type of slug
00:21:13and these type of home run totals
00:21:16all tied up
00:21:17we're here in the bottom of the fourth
00:21:23out towards right center field
00:21:27can't get there
00:21:28and now maybe extra bases
00:21:31they hold the runner at second
00:21:33so another base hit could get us our first run in this one
00:21:36couldn't have timed it up any better than that
00:21:38runner in scoring position now
00:21:40and a good opportunity to push across the first run of the ball game
00:21:48Chandler Simpson
00:21:49the next to hit
00:21:55that one outside
00:21:57and that is ball one
00:22:11runner at second
00:22:13here one gone
00:22:20and now two and one
00:22:30that one to first
00:22:31Bellinger over to pick it up
00:22:33takes it himself
00:22:34two away
00:22:36well there's a lot riding on that at bat right there
00:22:38nice job of the pitcher to bear down
00:22:40make the pitch
00:22:40get the ground ball
00:22:42excellent piece of work
00:22:43go ahead run on base
00:22:45Carson Williams
00:22:46next to hit for the Rays
00:22:48went down on strikes his first time through
00:22:52close one
00:22:53doesn't get the call
00:22:54and that's ball one
00:22:56challenge from behind the dish here
00:22:59and that just scraped the zone
00:23:01the call is overturned
00:23:02they'll keep both their challenges
00:23:06Caminero at third with two away
00:23:13high fly ball lifted in the air right field
00:23:17and that will end the inning
00:23:19through four still tied zip zip
00:23:26welcome back
00:23:27quite a pitcher's duel so far
00:23:29here's how the starters
00:23:30have performed
00:23:31up to this point
00:23:41turned on but that's foul
00:23:43down the third baseline
00:23:44you know these Yankees
00:23:46just aren't putting great swings
00:23:48on the baseball in this one
00:23:49they're trying to find ways to drive the ball
00:23:51with some authority but it's just not happening for him so far
00:23:54zero extra base hits in the game
00:23:56so it's been tough for him to get anything going
00:23:59and a good start to the inning
00:24:03I'm sure he feels really good about that one
00:24:05just a solid swing right there
00:24:06caught it out front and ripped it into the outfield
00:24:09for the base hit
00:24:10those always feel great
00:24:12Randall Grinchik now
00:24:15right through there for a strike
00:24:25this one chopped on the ground but foul
00:24:30this one in the air center field
00:24:32DeLuca moving under it

00:24:58one away
00:24:59tie game
00:25:00go ahead run stands at first
00:25:12well with the amount of pitches that can end up in the dirt
00:25:16a good secondary lead
00:25:17doesn't have to get away from the catcher
00:25:19but if you're anticipating
00:25:20based off the trajectory
00:25:22get yourself in the scoring position
00:25:25and that'll fall for a base hit
00:25:27quick throw back in
00:25:28lead runner holds in second
00:25:30with one gone
00:25:31still able to come through
00:25:32behind in the count right there
00:25:33a chance now to take the lead
00:25:35and at this point in the game
00:25:36that could be a deciding run
00:25:41here's the shortstop at the play
00:25:43Jose Caballero

00:26:18not in time at first
00:26:20it's a fielder's choice
00:26:22well it's great hustle
00:26:23out of the box
00:26:24to get down the line
00:26:25knowing that
00:26:26a double play
00:26:27will end the inning

00:29:27on the run right there
00:29:28he saved
00:29:29extra bases for sure
00:29:30if the pitcher's his friend
00:29:31he'll give him a second
00:29:32to catch his breath
00:29:33before he's ready
00:29:34to deal the next pitch
00:29:39Palacios
00:29:40at the plate now
00:29:41that's ball one
00:29:49lined into right

00:29:55the Rays kick off the scoring
00:29:57with a solo bomb
00:29:58it's now 1-0
00:30:00it's an AL East matchup
00:30:02here on MLB the show
00:30:07here at Tropicana Field
00:30:09close game here
00:30:10and a chance now
00:30:11to look at a few highlights
00:30:12from this one
00:30:34leading off
00:30:35Aaron Judge
00:30:36for the Yankees
00:30:37right fielder
00:30:38Aaron Judge
00:30:50Judge comes up
00:31:01empty there
00:31:02and he grounds one
00:31:04back up the middle
00:31:05can't glove it
00:31:05cleanly
00:31:06safe at first
00:31:08no play
00:31:08we'll see how they score this
00:31:10see Boop
00:31:11that right there
00:31:12that's a perfect example
00:31:13of why he shouldn't be out there
00:31:15at that position
00:31:16he clearly isn't comfortable
00:31:17he doesn't look fluid
00:31:19his foot works all over the place
00:31:20and just can't make that throw
00:31:22to beat the runner
00:31:24Giancarlo Stanton
00:31:25to the plate now
00:31:26that misses the zone
00:31:28and it's 1-0
00:31:29well here's a good opportunity
00:31:30in this inning
00:31:31to get on the scoreboard
00:31:32after that leadoff hit
00:31:33and the order coming up
00:31:35right behind him
00:31:35this is where they need
00:31:36to get going
00:31:38gotta be real careful
00:31:39here
00:31:402-0
00:31:40he's hunting for his pitch
00:31:42the pit behind
00:31:44with that swing
00:31:44it's strike one
00:31:45as a hitter
00:31:46you gotta learn something
00:31:47from that pitch
00:31:48he clearly wasn't timed up
00:31:50on the fastball
00:31:51in a 2-0 count
00:31:52you have to be ready
00:31:53to do damage
00:32:06hammered
00:32:06and this one
00:32:07could be extra bases
00:32:10here comes the judge
00:32:11around third
00:32:14he scores
00:32:15to tie it up
00:32:17huge game tying it
00:32:19bad right there
00:32:20came through
00:32:20in a big spot
00:32:21to drive in the run
00:32:22pretty much just a textbook
00:32:24double into the gap
00:32:25and when you can drop
00:32:26one in there
00:32:27between the outfielders
00:32:28you know you're making
00:32:29the turn at first
00:32:30just an excellent swing
00:32:35here's Cody Bellinger
00:32:39on the ground
00:32:40right side
00:32:41Arunda
00:32:42on to first
00:32:43nice play off the bounce
00:32:45for the out
00:32:46good stretch there
00:32:47to make the play
00:32:47it looks like someone
00:32:48added a little yoga
00:32:49to their daily routine
00:32:51if you ask me
00:32:59so the go-ahead run
00:33:00in scoring position
00:33:01Ryan McMahon
00:33:03now at the plate
00:33:05and immediately
00:33:06pumps in a strike
00:33:07to the left-handed hitter
00:33:12the Yankees
00:33:13with the go-ahead run
00:33:14in third
00:33:15and we're at the top
00:33:16half of the six
00:33:16I think ultimately
00:33:18you want to tie him up
00:33:20get the ball in on the plate
00:33:21so that he can't get
00:33:22the barrel to it
00:33:23and hit it to the outfield
00:33:260-2 Cal
00:33:27you got the opportunity
00:33:28to expand the zone
00:33:29could get the chase there
00:33:30let's see what he comes
00:33:31back with next
00:33:36base hit
00:33:37runner from third

00:33:49throw it through the infield
00:33:50for the knock
00:33:51when it's hit that hard
00:33:52it makes it very tough
00:33:53on the end
00:33:58just to make any sort of play
00:34:00here is Goldschmidt
00:34:02fastball for a strike

00:44:46eighth inning coming up
00:44:48it's the Yankees 2
00:44:49the Rays 1
00:44:50it's an ALE
00:44:53back at the ballpark
00:44:54as we take a check
00:44:55of the bullpen
00:44:56so far this season
00:45:08he had a foul ball
00:45:17and one fouled off
00:45:28making four strikeouts
00:45:30in a row
00:45:30just cruising along
00:45:32third time he struck out
00:45:33in this one
00:45:34and definitely
00:45:35an individual performance
00:45:36you want to flush
00:45:37he just hasn't looked
00:45:38very comfortable up there
00:45:39just one of those days
00:45:40but when you're still
00:45:41winning the ball game
00:45:42at least you can focus
00:45:44on doing your part
00:45:44to maintain that lead
00:45:45and getting that W
00:45:50here is Aaron Judge
00:46:02here's a swing and a drive
00:46:03left field

00:46:10Aaron Judge with a rocket
00:46:12it's his eighth
00:46:14home run of the year
00:46:15and they add to their lead
00:46:17it's 3-1
00:46:18a little more breathing room
00:46:20is always a good thing
00:46:21in baseball
00:46:21and now they have it
00:46:24just an excellent swing
00:46:25all the way around
00:46:27and it had that sound
00:46:28coming off the bat
00:46:29that gets everyone's attention
00:46:30got a pitch to drive
00:46:31short to the baseball
00:46:33squared it up
00:46:33and the backspin
00:46:34carried it out of here
00:46:37one down
00:46:39here's Stanton now
00:46:43and first offering
00:46:45is fouled off
00:46:55swings through that
00:46:56Engler
00:46:57the tall righty
00:46:5826 years old
00:46:59and he was drafted
00:47:01in the fourth round
00:47:02back in 2018
00:47:04struck him out
00:47:05looking with the
00:47:06off speed stuff
00:47:07well I think that was
00:47:08just a case of a hitter
00:47:09quitting on a pitch
00:47:10he was looking fastball
00:47:12and didn't see it
00:47:13out of the head
00:47:13and just left the bat
00:47:20the shoulder
00:47:21that was a changeup
00:47:22right over the plate
00:47:23probably not the location
00:47:24he was looking for
00:47:25but the change of speeds
00:47:27is what fooled him
00:47:28and he got the out
00:47:30two down bases empty
00:47:31but one run across
00:47:33and we're at the top
00:47:33of the eighth
00:47:48here's a one-two
00:47:51the other way
00:47:52and he beats the shift
00:47:54so a two-out knock
00:47:56keeps the inning alive
00:48:00up next
00:48:01here's the third baseman
00:48:02Ryan McMahon
00:48:08check swing
00:48:09and he went
00:48:09that's strike one
00:48:18up next to the Yankees
00:48:18and he's going to
00:48:19play it on a bounce
00:48:20and it deflects away
00:48:23runner holds up
00:48:24at second
00:48:25two aboard now
00:48:28up next
00:48:29for the Yankees
00:48:30first and second
00:48:31two outs
00:48:32Paul Goldschmidt
00:48:33will climb in
00:48:45he's getting a little
00:48:46frustrated out there
00:48:47on the mound
00:48:48getting hit around
00:48:49a little bit
00:48:49let's see if he can
00:48:50settle himself down
00:48:56brown ball
00:48:56on the right side
00:48:58and foul ball
00:49:02Bellinger
00:49:03on second
00:49:03McMahon
00:49:04at first
00:49:05two out of the inning
00:49:12swing
00:49:13and this one's
00:49:14bounce to the ground
00:49:16over to Diaz
00:49:17they limit the damage
00:49:19here
00:49:20solo shot
00:49:21from Aaron
00:49:22judge
00:49:22for the Yanks
00:49:23and this is now
00:49:24a 3-1 ball game
00:49:26it's an AL East
00:49:28back shot
00:49:28here on MLB
00:49:30the show
00:49:36back now
00:49:36new pitcher on the mound
00:49:38as we roll into
00:49:38the bottom of the eighth
00:49:39Jake Bird
00:49:40these are the spots
00:49:42where leavers
00:49:43really make a name
00:49:44for themselves
00:49:44late and close
00:49:46there's not much
00:49:47margin for error
00:49:48but at the same time
00:49:49there's a reason
00:49:50they're put in
00:49:51these situations
00:50:01so important
00:50:01to get ahead
00:50:02of these hitters
00:50:03you don't want to
00:50:03issue a free pass
00:50:04and allow that
00:50:04tying run
00:50:05to come to the plate
00:50:06I was going to keep
00:50:07that other team
00:50:07in a position
00:50:08where if they're
00:50:09going to beat you
00:50:09they're going to
00:50:09have to do it
00:50:10with multiple hits
00:50:12comes up empty
00:50:13that's strike two
00:50:20hit on the ground
00:50:22to short
00:50:22Caballero
00:50:24throws to first
00:50:25one gone
00:50:26to the bottom
00:50:27of the eighth
00:50:27up next
00:50:28for the race
00:50:29second baseman
00:50:31Jonathan Aranda
00:50:33back to the top
00:50:34of the order now
00:50:35Jonathan Aranda
00:50:37next to hit
00:50:37for the Rays
00:50:380 for 3
00:50:39in this one
00:50:54ball that's outside
00:50:55the Yankees
00:50:57up by two
00:50:58here the bottom
00:50:58half of the eighth
00:50:59inning
00:51:02line drive
00:51:03he holes it in
00:51:05two away
00:51:06that swing right there
00:51:08tells me he's seen
00:51:09the ball pretty well
00:51:10I know it didn't
00:51:10produce a hit
00:51:11but he made solid
00:51:12contact and that's
00:51:13all you're looking to
00:51:14do anytime you're
00:51:15at the plate
00:51:15so digging in
00:51:17Yandy Diaz
00:51:19one for three
00:51:23that's a ball
00:51:35gets the outside
00:51:36corner with that
00:51:37one
00:51:37well as good
00:51:38as things can be
00:51:39it can be a tough
00:51:40day at the office
00:51:41even for the skippers
00:51:42seeing the offense
00:51:44just sputter
00:51:44not able to get
00:51:45anything going
00:51:46two down
00:51:47Dolbeni on
00:51:49that's in
00:51:49ball two
00:51:57and it's
00:51:58even
00:52:11got him
00:52:13looking
00:52:13inning over
00:52:15nothing doing
00:52:16for Tampa
00:52:17and it remains
00:52:18a 3-1
00:52:19ball game
00:52:25we're back
00:52:26it's the top
00:52:26of the night
00:52:27and there's a new
00:52:27pitcher on the mound
00:52:28Brian Baker
00:52:29and we all know
00:52:31about his slider
00:52:31it's just filthy
00:52:32man
00:52:33and what are the
00:52:34better ones in the
00:52:34game I'd say
00:52:35spin rate's very high
00:52:36and it just breaks
00:52:37a ton
00:52:46the next
00:52:48offering
00:52:48misses
00:52:48ball one
00:52:56oh great stop
00:52:57fires to first
00:52:58and they get the out
00:53:03up next
00:53:04for the Yankees
00:53:05catcher
00:53:06JC Escara
00:53:08JC Escara
00:53:09stepping in now
00:53:10for the Yankees
00:53:16and first offering
00:53:18is fouled off
00:53:36way out
00:53:39swing
00:53:40swing and a miss
00:53:41struck him out
00:53:42I saw solid effort
00:53:43out of their starter
00:53:44and the bullpen
00:53:45is following suit
00:53:46it's just a good day
00:53:47as a manager
00:53:47or as a pitching coach
00:53:48when you can hand
00:53:49the ball off
00:53:50to multiple arms
00:53:51and get stability
00:53:52from all of their
00:53:53performances
00:53:59this one in the air
00:54:00right field
00:54:02and that will drop
00:54:03foul
00:54:08two down
00:54:09nobody on
00:54:11swing and a ground
00:54:12ball in the middle
00:54:13that's a base hit
00:54:14so now
00:54:15back to the top
00:54:16of the order
00:54:18up next
00:54:19for the Yankees
00:54:20second baseman
00:54:21Jazz Chisholm Jr.
00:54:23now
00:54:230 for 4
00:54:24with 3 strikeouts
00:54:25and a flyout
00:54:29that's outside
00:54:39the 1-0
00:54:41he's trying to stay away
00:54:42from this lefty
00:54:43knowing that
00:54:44a lot of left handers
00:54:45like the ball
00:54:45down and in
00:54:51Caballero
00:54:51the runner at first
00:54:52with two gone
00:54:55swing and a ground
00:54:56ball out to short
00:54:58over to Diaz
00:54:59and that's the inning
00:55:00one left for the Yankees
00:55:02as the lead remains
00:55:033-1
00:55:08back now
00:55:09and on the mound
00:55:10the closer
00:55:11David Bednar
00:55:12I think closer
00:55:14has to be one of the
00:55:15toughest jobs
00:55:15in baseball
00:55:16and we see a pretty
00:55:17high turnover rate
00:55:18because of it
00:55:19every outing
00:55:20seems to be high
00:55:21pressure
00:55:22this one included
00:55:23we'll see if he can
00:55:24wrap up the win
00:55:25and get himself a save
00:55:263-4-5
00:55:28due up for the
00:55:28home team
00:55:29here's the third
00:55:30baseman
00:55:31Junior Caminero
00:55:44swing and a ground
00:55:45ball up the middle
00:55:47oh can't pick it up
00:55:48cleanly
00:55:49and he's gonna make it
00:55:50to first
00:55:50and we'll see how they
00:55:52score
00:55:52pretty much gifted
00:55:53a leadoff base runner
00:55:55right there
00:55:55and as an offense
00:55:56this is where you
00:55:57really want to take
00:55:58advantage
00:55:59apply some pressure
00:56:00this inning
00:56:01make that error
00:56:02hurt
00:56:02next to bat
00:56:04will be the Rays
00:56:044-hitter
00:56:05Chandler Simpson
00:56:06maybe expecting
00:56:07a bunt here
00:56:08third baseman
00:56:09playing in on the
00:56:10edge of the grass
00:56:11fastball for a strike
00:56:21on the ground
00:56:22right side
00:56:23there's one
00:56:24throw to first
00:56:25but he beat it
00:56:26that's a huge
00:56:27defensive play
00:56:28in the late stages
00:56:29of the game
00:56:30it might not be
00:56:31the most challenging
00:56:31we've seen today
00:56:32but it needed
00:56:34to be made
00:56:34that's helping
00:56:35your team
00:56:36one out
00:56:37man at first
00:56:38so next to the plate
00:56:39for Tampa Bay
00:56:40Carson Williams
00:56:44right through there
00:56:45for a strike
00:56:56in the air
00:56:57in the air
00:56:57out to center
00:56:58oh he misses it
00:57:00it drops
00:57:02around second
00:57:03on his way
00:57:04to third
00:57:05lead runner
00:57:07holds at third
00:57:08so two runners
00:57:09in scoring position
00:57:10and just one out
00:57:11fly ball that should have
00:57:13definitely bid it out
00:57:14ends up as a runner
00:57:15in scoring position
00:57:16so now they're going
00:57:17to have to work
00:57:18around that
00:57:19but they're actually
00:57:20lucky because he could
00:57:21have possibly
00:57:22ended up at third
00:57:23you miss a ball
00:57:24like that in the outfield
00:57:25and guys can usually
00:57:26run for a while
00:57:27Johnny DeLuca
00:57:28next to hit
00:57:29for the Rays
00:57:30not close
00:57:31with that one
00:57:32and that is
00:57:33ball walk
00:57:36try to keep
00:57:37the game alive
00:57:38here in the bottom
00:57:39of the ninth
00:57:46in the air
00:57:47right side
00:57:47judge
00:57:48should have
00:57:49this one
00:57:49brings it in
00:57:51both runners tagging
00:57:52in to score
00:57:54from third
00:57:54and now they
00:57:55trail by one
00:57:56that play really
00:57:58shows how important
00:57:59it is to hit
00:57:59the cutoff man
00:58:00looked like he tried
00:58:01to throw through
00:58:02and get the runner
00:58:03at home
00:58:03but it backfired
00:58:04and it ended up
00:58:05costing them a run
00:58:06I remember my rookie
00:58:07year overthrowing
00:58:09a cutoff man
00:58:10didn't last long
00:58:11before I was pulled
00:58:11aside by a veteran
00:58:12pitcher
00:58:13he had a talk
00:58:14with me
00:58:14I don't know
00:58:15if I ever missed
00:58:16a cutoff man again
00:58:18in the box now
00:58:20take strike one
00:58:21and I know you want
00:58:22to be patient
00:58:22as a hitter
00:58:23but you got to be
00:58:24ready to jump
00:58:25on the first thing
00:58:26straight
00:58:26and he got one
00:58:27right there
00:58:28but left the bat
00:58:29on his shoulder
00:58:32well comfortable
00:58:33or not
00:58:34these are the
00:58:34situations
00:58:35closers
00:58:36they seem
00:58:36to live for
00:58:37when you get
00:58:37into some hot
00:58:38water
00:58:38a jam
00:58:39tough spot
00:58:39whatever you
00:58:40want to call it
00:58:40but this is
00:58:41where they earn
00:58:42their keep
00:58:42and that one
00:58:43ripped to left
00:58:44he's got it
00:58:46ball game
00:58:46the Yankees
00:58:48take game one
00:58:49of the series
00:58:50on the road
00:58:52great pitchers
00:58:53duel in this one
00:58:54you get to a
00:58:54certain point
00:58:55where each pitcher
00:58:56is trying to
00:58:57outdo the other
00:58:58go a little bit
00:58:59deeper into the
00:59:00ball game
00:59:00and for these
00:59:01pitchers
00:59:01it really came
00:59:02down to a few
00:59:03key at bats
00:59:04this was a fun
00:59:05one to watch
00:59:05a 3-2
