00:22Live from Cleveland, this is Progressive Field.
00:26A great night for baseball ahead on the show.
00:29It's the Tampa Bay Rays taking on the Cleveland Guardians.
00:35All right, we'll be back to get this one started after this.
00:42And on the mound today, Tanner Bybee.
00:45And Singy, it's unique these days, but he's more of a pitch-to-contact type of guy.
00:50Yeah, Boogie, he doesn't rely too heavily on the strikeout.
00:53He knows he needs to miss barrels, get some soft contact, let the defense do work behind him.
00:59And I think a guy like that can keep a good tempo, don't give hitters time to adjust or think.
01:04They can move through a ballgame, and you look up, they're in line for a quality start.
01:08We'll see what he's got in this one.
01:14On the ground to third, Ramirez.
01:18Over to first, one out in the top of the first.
01:23Now a look at Kevin Cash's lineup for the Tampa Bay Rays.
01:27Someone who makes things happen for them, in part with his legs, Johnny DeLuca.
01:32Hey, Boogie, you and I were talking about him before the game.
01:34He's got good speed, and if you watch him in this game, he's that type of guy that's very smart.
01:39He doesn't have this just eye-popping speed, but he knows how to use it.
01:43And he's very intelligent on the base pass to get to the next base, to get around the bases, and
01:48ultimately score runs.
01:50Just underway here in Cleveland.
01:54Gets a swing and a miss with the sweeper.
02:02Fights it off.
02:03He'll see another.
02:13Swing and a ground ball.
02:15Arias.
02:17Fires over to first.
02:18That's an out.
02:19Quick start here this evening.
02:20Two out.
02:21Top of the first.
02:22We talk about how the ball is coming out of the pitcher's hand.
02:25The way it comes out of his hand as an infielder.
02:29Wow, really impressive.
02:35Junior Caminero stands in now and watches strike one.
02:46Gets him to chase after that one.
02:48He finds himself in a tough situation early.
02:51Just kind of trying to simplify it.
02:52Take a knock the other way if you can.
02:57This one in the air center field.
03:00And he makes the catch.
03:02And that is that.
03:04End of a half inning of play.
03:05No score.
03:12And on the mound for Tampa Bay in this one.
03:15Ryan Pepeo.
03:16His ERA ranks among the best in the league and it's earned.
03:20Yeah, Boogies.
03:21Not giving away free passes and consistently missing barrels.
03:25That impact, it just shows up on a regular basis.
03:28It's been an impressive season up to this point.
03:31Everything's down in the zone and everything's working for him.
03:34Unlike your hips, the stats don't lie, Singy.
03:37Well, the numbers say elite and the eye test backs it up.
03:41Need to put that arm in bubble wrap.
03:43It's a long season and they're going to need this guy.
03:46The wind to kick the 2-0.
03:49Well, he left that changeup up.
03:51Got away with one there.
03:53And he'll take it.
03:54But doesn't want to make that mistake again.
03:58That's a bullet, but it goes foul.
04:08And it remains 2-2.
04:20Foul ball left side.
04:22He'll see another.
04:26Here's a 2-2.
04:30No question about this one.
04:32It's out of here.
04:39He nails one out to right.
04:41The Guardians strike first.
04:44It's one set.
04:45You can't ask for a better start than hitting a home run
04:48and you're first at bat to give your team the lead.
05:00So, Singy, this is a little bit of a surprise.
05:02A guy known for line drives hits one over the fence.
05:06Well, if you're a little too early, you'll get some elevation and the ball get out of the ballpark.
05:11For him, it's kind of a mistake.
05:12But you know what?
05:13When you have such a good approach, every now and then you're going to run into one.
05:17Jose Ramirez.
05:19The next to hit.
05:20Takes ball one.
05:22Nobody on.
05:23Nobody out with a run in.
05:25Here in game one of this three-game set.
05:28Fouled off to the right.
05:31Always exciting to see a late-off home run and an inning.
05:33Kind of gets the offense fired up and you start to expect a big inning.
05:49Ball.
05:50Ball.
05:58On the ground to the left.
06:00Fires to first on the run.
06:02Pretty nice play there.
06:04Batting third.
06:05The first big.
06:06Here's the Guardians lineup now.
06:08Not the highest team batting average for this squad.
06:11They're down towards the bottom of the league in total hits.
06:13And, Singy, because of that, they don't score a ton.
06:16Yeah.
06:17And, Boog, I'm looking for a little better performance out of them today.
06:20I mean, if they're going to be dangerous, if they're going to be able to create scoring opportunities,
06:24they're going to have to start making some individual adjustments.
06:27A lot of players in this lineup probably aren't happy with how they've hit the ball so far.
06:32So, today's a chance to get something going.
06:34High fly ball out to center field.
06:37Mullins on the move.
06:39Pulls it down and he makes the catch.
06:46Batting fourth.
06:47The catcher.
06:48Whoa.
06:48Bo Nailer at the plate now.
06:50He really needs to start making more contact.
06:53Striking out nearly twice in each of the last five games.
06:56In the dirt.
06:57And that is ball one.
07:06Hammered down the right side, but foul.
07:13Chew down.
07:14Nobody on.
07:16And Nailer swings through that one.
07:36On a line.
07:39Pulls it in on the run.
07:41And that's the inning.
07:43Cleveland with the solo shot to take an early lead.
07:46It's an early 1-0 lead.
07:53All set for the start of the inning.
07:55And stepping in for the raise, Cedric Mullins.
07:58Mullins.
08:05Right through there for a strike.
08:07Mullins.
08:07Batting in the cleanup spot.
08:09He joined the team as a free agent.
08:15No.
08:16No.
08:16Inside.
08:27That one catches the zone.
08:29And the count is one and two.
08:41Fouls it back with two strikes.
08:50But one, two.
08:53And a foul ball.
08:55He stays alive.
09:00The one, two.
09:03Ball.
09:15And that one is popped in the air.
09:17Shallow center.
09:18One down.
09:23That's it.
09:24The right fielder, Jake Fraley.
09:31Jake Fraley will hit next.
09:33Two hits for him in yesterday's game.
09:37Ball.
09:48Oh, can't pick it up cleanly.
09:50The flip.
09:51And they get him.
09:52The misplay made it a bit messy,
09:54but they cleaned things up for the out.
09:56The second baseman, Gavin Lux.
10:00Here's Gavin Lux to hit.
10:11Yeah.
10:21Swing and a ball hit out towards left center field.
10:24And that'll do it.
10:27Nothing doing for the offense that time.
10:30Down to the bottom of the second.
10:31It's the Guardians won.
10:33The Rays nothing.
10:35This is...
10:36Ready to go for the last half of the inning.
10:39Stepping up for the Guardians.
10:40Chase DeLauder.
10:43DeLauder.
10:45That's in there.
10:460-1-1.
10:48DeLauder with some struggles at the plate recently.
10:50Definitely not uncommon for rookies.
10:54Ball.
10:55You know, Boog, at the start of my career,
10:57I got only three hits in my first month,
10:59but I kept at it,
11:00and I finished the year hitting 300.
11:03I know he's going through it a bit right now,
11:06but he's capable of figuring it out.
11:12Ball two.
11:21Foul ball.
11:22Another 2-2 upcoming.
11:24This guy's seen two change-ups in a row.
11:26Could be a little vulnerable for a fastball right here.
11:31Stays alive.
11:34It's so hard to slow yourself down
11:36when you see that juicy breaking ball,
11:38but the most success happens
11:40when you try to take that right back up the middle approach.
11:43In the air, left field.
11:46DeLuca takes it in for the out,
11:48and there's one down.
11:51Batting six.
11:52The designated hitter, number four.
11:55Here's Brian Rocchio.
11:57He's hitting for that pop.
11:59Came out of the gates really strong.
12:04You and I got a chance to broadcast the 2019 All-Star Game,
12:09and the city of Cleveland did such a great job.
12:12I felt like wherever he had turned,
12:14there was some type of add for the All-Star Game,
12:17a face of one of the players playing in the game.
12:20I thought the city overall supported the event really well.
12:24Ball two.
12:24Yeah, and I think the players backed it up
12:28from the home run derby
12:30and the show that was put on
12:32between Vladimir Guerrero Jr.,
12:35Pete Alonso, and others.
12:36It was off the charts.
12:38Hitting in the game is always special
12:40when you see the best in baseball,
12:43you remember how special this game is,
12:45and to be here at this ballpark,
12:47I think just puts the icing on the cake.
12:52Battling here as he fouls it away.
13:04Swing and a high fly ball left field.
13:06DeLuca, a couple of steps in,
13:08pulls it down,
13:09and he makes the catch.
13:12Batting seven,
13:13the center fielder,
13:14number seven.
13:15George Valera digs in for the Guardians.
13:18Valera had the day off yesterday.
13:25Valera went deep in his most recent game.
13:28Good spot there,
13:29but didn't get the strike at the knees
13:31and doesn't seem too convinced
13:32by the call out there on the mound
13:34as he tries to get a better sense
13:36of the umpire strike zone.
13:41Two down,
13:42nobody on.
13:44A little out front there
13:45as he swings through it.
13:46Sold it really well
13:47with the arm speed.
13:49Swung underneath it,
13:51so change up its stake.
13:52Oh, that's a strikeout,
13:53and that'll do it for the inning.
13:55Nothing doing for the Guardians there.
13:57We play two innings.
13:59It's one to nothing.
14:04Back here at the ballpark,
14:06coming off a series
14:07where they were red hot at the plate,
14:09and a look at the numbers.
14:18First good strike right there for him.
14:19He's going to have to do that consistently
14:21if he's going to give any link to his skipper.
14:28Down the left field line,
14:30base hit.
14:32And the tying run is on base.
14:39Batting in the left.
14:41Johnny DeLuca next to hit for the Rays.
14:47Right through there for a strike.
15:01Line drive.
15:01That's a base hit.
15:03Makes the turn at second.
15:05Heads for third.
15:07Now the tag at third,
15:08and they got it.
15:11That's just a terrible decision
15:12to go for third right there.
15:13I mean, he was posed by a lot.
15:15Not even close.
15:16You've got to be a little smarter
15:17than that on the base bats.
15:23No, the batter now.
15:24Taylor Walls.
15:27Quick toss first.
15:29DeLuca back on a dive.
15:39Ball.
15:45DeLuca, the base runner at first
15:47with one out.
15:50Well, we call that key holding.
15:52Even though it's right there
15:53and looks pretty good,
15:54if he doesn't love it,
15:56he's not going to swing
15:57that early in the count.
16:01That will find the zone.
16:03That strike two.
16:13And it's fouled off.
16:14They'll do it again.
16:20One, two now.
16:23Lifted in the air.
16:24Right field.
16:25DeLauder should have this one.
16:27And there's two down.
16:33Up next for Tampa Bay,
16:35the first baseman,
16:36number two, Yandy.
16:38So the Rays batting order
16:40turns over.
16:41Yandy Diaz now.
16:430 for 1.
16:43He grounded out
16:44in his first at bat.
16:48He's going to steal second.
16:50You want him to go early
16:51in the count.
16:51That way he's not a distraction
16:52to the hitter at the plate.
16:54Go ahead and get it out of the way
16:55so the hitter can focus
16:57on the pitch.
17:03Sends it to first.
17:04That's out number three.
17:06The Rays strand just the one.
17:08They trail here.
17:101-0.
17:14Set for the bottom of the third.
17:16Stepping up for the Guardians.
17:18Gabriel Arias.
17:19Gabriel.
17:21Arias.
17:22Ball up.
17:37Ripped, but it curls foul.
17:43The 1-2.
17:47Swing and a miss.
17:48Struck him out.
17:491-out.
17:50Oh, I think he was waiting
17:51on the changeup right there
17:52and he got it.
17:53It just drifted too far in on him.
17:55I think that pitch is just
17:56a little more out over the plate.
17:58Probably squares it up,
17:59but instead,
18:00he's going to have to go
18:01take a seat.
18:05Schneeman.
18:06In the box here
18:07and fouls it off
18:07for strike one.
18:15Right through there
18:16for his strike.
18:23And that's where the swing,
18:25it's a strikeout.
18:26Up next
18:27for the Guardians.
18:29No left fielder.
18:30Now,
18:31Steven Kwan
18:32coming off
18:33an absolute bomb
18:34in his last at-bat.
18:46Good slider down
18:47and in
18:48can be so hard
18:49to get on playing with.
18:50You're better off
18:50taking that pitch.
18:54That misses the zone.
18:56Ball two.
19:04Hit hard
19:05on the ground
19:05to short.
19:06In plenty of time
19:08to first.
19:09That's the inning.
19:10The Guardians
19:10go down in order.
19:12They lead it
19:131-0.
19:15Out of the fourth
19:16and stepping in
19:17for the Rays,
19:18Carson Williams.
19:19Williams.
19:26There's the strike.
19:28Chris,
19:28he leads the way
19:29for the best batting
19:29average on the team.
19:37Late on that fastball.
19:40You know,
19:40Brooke,
19:40every team has a
19:41hitters meeting pregame,
19:42but this lineup
19:43seems way too anxious,
19:44aggressive.
19:45You wonder
19:46what they talked about.
19:51Swing and a miss
19:52struck him out.
19:53He's really good
19:54hitting the baseball
19:55the other way,
19:56so credit the pitcher
19:57for having him
19:57out in front of that pitch.
19:59Clearly,
19:59he had him full.
20:00Now,
20:01it's the D.H.
20:02Junior Caminero
20:04fly to center
20:05his first time.
20:05He's 0-4-1.
20:09No.
20:10His homerun numbers
20:11stand out,
20:12Chris.
20:12Nobody has hit more
20:13on his team.
20:17Hike!
20:29A swing and a miss
20:31as he chases
20:32way out of the zone.
20:37Keeps the at-bat
20:38going with a foul ball.
20:48Drilled in the air,
20:49high and deep
20:50right field.
20:51Valera,
20:51ranging back,
20:52out of here!
20:56A solo shot.
20:58It's his eighth
20:59home run of the year,
21:00and we have a tie
21:02ball game.
21:03It's 1-1.
21:05The wind didn't
21:06hurt the chances
21:06of that ball
21:07getting out of here,
21:08that's for sure.
21:10Boog,
21:11I wasn't sure
21:12he hit that one
21:12as hard as he needed
21:13to to get it
21:14out of here,
21:14but it had just
21:15enough behind it
21:16for the homer.
21:17What an attempt
21:18at the wall,
21:18though.
21:19He really gave
21:20a terrific effort
21:20to try and bring
21:21that one back.
21:23Now,
21:23here is
21:24Cedric Mullins.
21:38on the ground,
21:39right side.
21:41Hoskins
21:42takes it himself,
21:43and he's out.
21:44Up next for Tampa Bay,
21:45the right fielder,
21:46Jake Fraley.
21:49Now up for Tampa Bay,
21:51Jake Fraley
21:52grounded out
21:53his first time.
22:00Roll one up.
22:01Two down bases empty,
22:02but one run across
22:04top half of inning
22:05number four.
22:08That one fouled off.
22:18Popped up.
22:20Schneeman under it.
22:23And that is that.
22:27Just one hit
22:28in the inning,
22:28but it was a big one
22:29right here
22:30as it ties the ball game
22:32all even at one apiece.
22:37Welcome back.
22:38Let's check out
22:39what's been happening
22:39of late.
22:40Really been playing well.
22:41Sports placement.
22:43Self-motivation.
22:44We're at.
22:45And the lack of that
22:46can truly hurt you.
22:48The tights
22:49that's the same bus.
22:52And that skips
22:53into dirt.
22:54And Chris,
22:55his home run numbers
22:56this season
22:56are good enough
22:57to rank him
22:57in the top ten
22:58in the lead.
23:00Right through there
23:01for a strike.
23:09No, that's the ball.
23:17Swing and a miss
23:18and that's strike two.
23:20Generally,
23:21second, third time
23:21through the lineup,
23:22you want to be able
23:23to lean on those
23:24secondary pitches
23:25and command them.
23:26Looks like he's doing
23:27a nice job of it.
23:28Calls it in.
23:29One away.
23:30That swing right there
23:31tells me he's seen
23:32the ball pretty well.
23:33I know it didn't
23:34produce a hit
23:34but he made solid contact
23:36and that's all
23:37you're looking to do
23:38any time you're at the plate.
23:39And it's Reese Hoskins
23:41up to the dish.
23:45Fight!
23:56Ground ball left side
23:58and that's just foul.
24:04The 0-2.
24:08Spoils the two-strike pitch
24:09and he'll see another.
24:15The 0-2.
24:23All tied up.
24:24We're here at the bottom
24:25of the fourth.
24:30Fights that one away
24:31and the count remains
24:320-2.
24:38This one in the air
24:40center field.
24:44And there's two away.
24:50Up next for the Gordier.
24:53Next to hit.
24:54Bone nailer.
24:55He's over one.
24:56A-1.
25:00Hammer down the right side
25:02but foul.
25:03He's bagging.
25:04Give me that pitch
25:05one more time.
25:06A hanging changeup
25:08just out in front.
25:10And it's fouled away.
25:18Two down.
25:19Nobody on.
25:22Drilled in the air
25:23out towards right center.
25:24Fraley gets under it.
25:27Brings it in.
25:28And that'll do it.
25:30Guardians fail to score.
25:32Score remains deadlocked
25:33and one.
25:37We go to the top
25:38of the fifth
25:39and stepping in
25:40for the Rays.
25:41Gavin Lux.
25:49Right through there
25:50for a strike.
25:51Well, these Rays
25:52just lacking discipline
25:53at the plate
25:54in this ballgame.
25:55They've been chasing
25:55pitches outside the zone
25:56all game
25:57and it's led to
25:58some frustrating moments.
25:59They've been fooled
26:00quite a bit today.
26:02Well struck.
26:03Right field.
26:04Carrying well.
26:06Out of here.
26:09His second of the year
26:11and the Rays
26:12take the lead.
26:13It's 2-1.
26:16The one thing
26:16the pitcher didn't want
26:18to happen
26:18just happened.
26:19That's not an easy
26:20one to stomach.
26:24He got on plane
26:25with that high fastball
26:27and look how his bat
26:28stays in the zone
26:29for a long time.
26:30Absolutely crushed
26:32that pitch.
26:33Nick Fortes
26:34next to hit
26:35for the Rays.
26:38He's been incredibly
26:39efficient in this one.
26:41First pitch strike
26:41percentage over 70%.
26:43That's well above
26:44league average
26:45and that's what's
26:46allowed him to pitch
26:46well up until this point.
26:59fouls it back
27:00with two strikes.
27:04Nobody on
27:05nobody out
27:06with a run in
27:06and we're at the top
27:07of the fifth.
27:09This one in the air
27:11right field
27:11to Lauder
27:12on the move
27:13towards foul ground.
27:14Pulls it down
27:15and he makes
27:16the cap
27:17and that's the
27:18first out
27:19nice recovery
27:20after giving up
27:20the homer.

32:15go ahead
32:15runs
32:16at second
32:16with two
32:17out
32:17well we're
32:18starting over
32:19again
32:19all tied
32:20up
32:20just a
32:20cookie
32:21down the
32:21middle
32:22I mean
32:22those are
32:22the ones
32:22you dream
32:23about
32:23ones in
32:24the cage
32:24you're
32:24just hoping
32:25you get
32:25in the
32:25ball game
32:26right down
32:26the middle
32:27not a
32:27whole lot
32:27of velocity
32:28right on
32:29top of
32:29it
32:30Daniel
32:30Schneeman
32:31digs in
32:31for the
32:32Guardians
32:34strike
32:34one
32:41that's
32:41it
32:41only two
32:42down
32:43so now it's all about protect mode try to shorten up try to track the ball block it got him
32:49swinging for the K
32:50inning over and it could have been worse but a run will score in the inning on this RBI double
32:56and we're deadlock now at two apiece
33:02welcome back it's been a great game so let's take another look at the most important moment so far
33:35stepping in Yandy Diaz
34:00swing and a miss and that one missed by a ton
34:22on the ground and it goes just foul
34:28on the ground and it goes just foul
34:29on the ground and it goes just foul
34:35out
34:36comes a 2-2
34:38and a foul ball he stays alive
34:51out towards right center field
34:54can't get there too slow to get after it
34:57so a man on base to start
34:59the inning
35:00you know I was watching his rounds during batting practice today so impressed with his ability to let the ball
35:05travel go back up the middle and the other way sometimes when you step in the box during the game
35:10you get a little anxious and you get away from that but so far I've seen him stay consistent with
35:15his pregame preparation
35:16here comes the manager
35:17here comes the manager out of the dugout and he'll make a move for the bullpen
35:19Tanner Bybee won't go any further tonight
35:22just never found his groove wasn't able to settle in
35:26new arm coming on
35:27back in a moment
35:28new pitcher now
35:29Tim Heron
35:31on for his 20th appearance of the year
35:40Carson Williams next to hit for the Rays
35:46and a good fastball to start him off
35:48that's strike one
35:57late with the swing there
35:59Chris he's currently the team leader at OPS
36:02the go-ahead run aboard at first
36:05nobody out
36:09line drive
36:10leaps and he's got it
36:11dives to the bag
36:12got him
36:13double play
36:22now at the plate
36:23Junior Caminero
36:25he's already homered in this game
36:30high
36:41chop to third
36:43Ramirez
36:45tosses to first
36:46and that ends the inning
36:48nothing doing for Tampa
36:49score remains
36:502-2
36:57here in Cleveland
36:58bottom of the six
36:59Steven Kwan
37:00digs into the Guardians
37:02defense
37:04Kwan
37:05you know
37:06these Guardians
37:07simply put
37:08are producing a lot of quality swings
37:10they've been lining the ball all over the ballpark
37:13and unfortunately
37:14sometimes it's right into a glove
37:16but still they've hit nine line drives so far
37:18that's something they should feel very good about
37:20the changeup missing
37:22ball two
37:23speaking of those line drives
37:24you can't get too discouraged when they don't drop in for you
37:27it's important to remember
37:28that you pretty much did everything right
37:31and that's just baseball sometimes
37:32and that's just baseball sometimes
37:58here
37:59home run
38:00another homer
38:02his second homer of the night
38:04and now they're out front
38:05it's 3-2
38:08he really needed that swing
38:10he hasn't been getting a ton of results at the plate lately so
38:12I'm sure that one felt especially good
38:15a surprise performance here
38:17you don't expect this kind of power from him
38:19but he's proven everyone wrong with a multi home run game
38:28here's Jose Ramirez
38:35ball
38:37so you just got to delete it
38:38you give up that lead off home run
38:40go back to work focus on this next batter
38:45ball
38:46pepio
38:46maybe a little less aggressive on the mound right now after that home run Chris
38:50yeah it seems that way you know pitchers they can come out feel good
38:54but then all of a sudden get touched up a little bit and they start trying to throw instead of
38:59pitch they're not trusting their stuff
39:02that one finds the zone that strike one
39:05well he's been good for the most part
39:06is it going to take someone going out to the mound to maybe refocus him a bit
39:10no partner every pitcher is a little different I liken it to you
39:13sometimes you come in and you're not as focused and I kind of do what it takes to get you
39:17on track
39:17and then you have a great show
39:19so perhaps it's the same with him
39:21nobody really wants their rhythm broken up
39:23but sometimes they need a little pick-me-up
39:28one away
39:33and here's a look at how he's using his pitches in this one
39:36first baseman
39:36number eight
39:38threes
39:39hoskins
39:40threes hoskins
39:40to the plate
39:42he's been a great free agent sign
39:50ball
39:50too high
39:53one out
39:54base is empty
39:55and a run in
39:55here in the bottom of the six
40:08here's a one-to-one
40:12no
40:19and that skips in the dirt
40:20a rare three ball count here
40:22he's been throwing strikes all day
40:24gotta be ready to hit if you're in the box
40:27three
40:28three
40:28two down
40:36that's foul off to the right side keeps the AB going
40:42they all pitch
40:45there's a line drive to left field
40:47two way down
40:52up next for the Gordier
40:54the catcher
40:55two down base is empty
40:57now a chance for
40:58bow nailer
41:04coming up here pitch number one hundred
41:06probably nearing the end of his outing here both
41:28two down
41:30nobody on
41:30got him swinging
41:36solo shot for the guardians this inning
41:39seventh inning coming up
41:40this is guardians baseball on the show Ohio
41:49we go to the top of the seven and stepping in for the raise
41:52Cedric Mullins
41:53small and still
42:00confer that hit to keep this streak going and this might be his last shot at a boat
42:08there's a strike
42:19and it's fouled off
42:27looking to get the tying run on base
42:40just
42:40missed
42:41well he might have to look for a different put away pitch right here to two
42:44he's already seen the curveball a couple of times in this at that so might have it timed up and
42:49ready for it
42:50outside
42:52he's just missing with some pitches that I mean those are they're not strikes and that's what you think of
42:58good pitches a strike but
42:59so many times pitchers are trying to tease the zone and the last two pitches that
43:03called out on strikes
43:05a big first out here in the seventh fee of the punch out
43:09yeah it just does so much to change the outlook of an important inning like this
43:13when you got the leadoff hitter so critical in setting the table when you got a tight game like this
43:18so a strikeout really puts them on their heels
43:24this one in the air center field
43:26Valera drifts towards it and there's two down
43:32up next for Tampa Bay
43:34the second here comes the skipper out of the dugout and he's ready to make the move
43:38Tim Heron will depart and he leaves in a one-run game
43:42new pitcher coming on we'll be back in a minute
43:49now pitching
43:50Eric Zabrowski
43:51on the pitch out of the pan here
43:53he's certainly been one of their better relief pitchers this season the numbers are really solid so they feel great
43:59about handing the ball over to him
44:03and now it's Gavin Lux he's already homered here in this one
44:18and there's a strike
44:22the guardians holding on to a one-run lead here the top half of inning number seven
44:30in the air right field
44:32DeLauder on his way over
44:35reaching for it and brings it in
44:38down in order go the Rays
44:40they're down three to two
44:48now picking for we're back in a new pitcher here to start the bottom of the seventh Ian Seymour pretty
44:54tight game so they're looking for quality pitches out of them right here got to do his best to keep
44:59the score right where it is
45:02well one-run game digging in Chase DeLauder
45:07right fielder
45:09ball
45:17yep
45:22comes up empty that strike two
45:25I think he was sitting off speed there
45:33foul ball still a one and two cow
45:46in the air center field Mullins under it
45:51and there's one away
45:57up next for the Guardian
45:59now it's the Guardian's DH
46:01Brian Rocchio
46:04Rocchio
46:08swing and a line drive that's a base hit into right field
46:13so they get a man aboard with a one-out single
46:17up next for the Guardian
46:19here's the center fielder George Valera
46:22one for two
46:24that misses
46:26ball one
46:38and that one is inside
46:47here's a high chopper
46:49base hit
46:50lead runner around second
46:53relay to third
46:54in there safely
46:56two consecutive base hits for this team
46:58just one of those seen high base hits through the infield
47:01just kind of rolled over on it a little bit but sometimes those can find a hole and get you
47:05enough
47:09run
47:09runners at the corners here
47:10one away
47:11Gabrielle Arias the next to hit
47:14RBI not for him last time now a chance to drive in another run
47:23in the infield at the corners
47:24don't be surprised to see them come home first
47:28and prevent that run from scoring
47:31swings through that one
47:32big pitch right here
47:34he's going to try to make a pitch
47:35it's going to produce a strikeout
47:36or a ground ball double play
47:39that one is absolutely belching
47:43that one hops off the wall and should score at least one
47:47Valera around third
47:49he'll score two runs are in
47:52and they take a three run lead
47:54well a swing like that can help you come out of this struggle
47:57we saw the numbers coming into the ball game
47:59but all he's trying to do at this point is help his team win
48:06one out runner at second
48:08Daniel Steeman digs into the guardians
48:13fall
48:19one out the runner at second here at the bottom of the seven
48:22that's a strike
48:23right down to shoot strike one
48:31on the ground is short
48:34slings the first in time
48:38up next for the guardian
48:40the left fielder
48:42Stephen Kwan
48:45now the left fielder Stephen Kwan
48:47he's got a couple homers already so can he possibly do it again
48:51come on man of course he can
48:53those two he hit were legit
48:54and he looks pretty locked in right now if he did
48:59brings it in for the third out
49:03but they'll pick up a couple runs here both coming on this two run double
49:07we look ahead to inning number eight
49:09you're watching Cleveland Guardians baseball on the show Ohio
49:15welcome back as we take a look at their upcoming schedule
49:18I was born in the city
49:24no one
49:30Cleveland has some action going in their pen
49:33Kate Smith the American League saves leader looks to be warming up
49:37Armstrong also throwing
49:46the one on
49:47and a big swing and a miss
49:50though it's critical right here that they bear down and turn in some quality at bats
49:53try to chip away at that lead because if it gets to the ninth that closer is coming in
50:15back foot slider ties him off struck him out
50:18man it's so difficult as a hitter to get on plane with that pitch it's breaking down and in and
50:24you've got to find a way to match the plane and if it's nasty like that one fight it's so
50:28difficult as a hitter to get on plane with that pitch
50:28at the end most times you're swinging over the top and walking back to the dugout
50:32here's the left fielder Johnny DeLuca
50:38first pitch swinging
50:500-1 down
50:53ball
50:54Zabrowski
50:55measures 6 feet 4 inches
50:5728 years old
50:58and he was born in Canada
51:04Swings through that
51:09the Guardians leading by three and we're at the top of the eighth
51:19strike three and that's toward the road
51:22well can't argue with that one and clearly he was looking for something else
51:25anything but the breaking ball
51:27it's a great pitch to hit right there if you're looking for it and kind of a gift in a
51:31two strike count but sometimes you just get fooled and you got to tip your cap
51:38at the plate now that's ball one
51:40he's gonna get the ball one
51:49he's gonna get the ball one
51:49tied him up inside with that one
51:51talk about tying a guy up that was ugly
51:55lefty continues to work but the closer getting loose in the bullpen
52:12the two on tap foul at the plate
52:27two down nobody on that misses and the count is filled up
52:40rip to third whips it to first and that is the
52:46inning Rays go in order one two three they trail at 5-2
52:55back now at progressive field bottom of the eighth Jose Ramirez digs in for the
53:01Guardians rub here all on those strikes
53:14that one found hard the other way
53:25the 1-1 late on that fastball
53:34next pitch in the dirt and a count now even up
53:45and the batter now is Reese Hoskins 0-3 in this one he is very much your typical power hitter
53:54I'd say he falls into the three true outcomes category but we see more and more of that lately the
54:00ability to drive the ball to slug is getting heavily favored over any discipline or strikeout concerns
54:09two out space is empty here's the catcher bow nailer
54:19pulled hard but it's a foul ball
54:29and now it's even up
54:38foul ball there
54:46struck him out looking
54:50nothing doing for the Guardians there and it
54:52remains five two
54:54you
55:11now we're back and on the mound is the closer Kate Smith he's the guy they hope to turn to
55:17you out of the pen the lockdown wins so this game has gone the plan more or less let's see
55:22if he can wrap it up here
55:31that's a strike thanks to the sweeper Diaz not happy about that called strike here's the challenge and that one
55:38was indeed a strike
55:40that knocks them down the one challenge left
55:54next offering is found back
56:06and he'll chew that one lifted to left
56:13and a quick out number one just pulled off of it a little bit right there that front shoulder coming
56:18open instead of staying close if he does that he's going to be able to go up the middle the
56:23other way with some authority instead of a fly out of the other way with some
56:25the other way with some of the other way with some of theふと思います
56:36Williams that a good one down takes a strike
56:40the Guardians
56:41trying to close out a three-run lead here at the top of the night
56:51next offering is found
57:06back
57:08in the air right field DeLauter on the move and makes the grab and there are two
57:14outs
57:20so they have their final out and next is the designated hitter Junior Camonero
57:59the Rays down to their final strike cut on and missed struck him out and that's the ball game
58:05well this was a tightly played game got a little of everything some timely hitting runs on the board
58:10key pitching and defense in certain spots definitely a fun one to watch and your final
58:15score 5-2 for Chris Singleton and our entire crew I'm John Chomby saying so long
58:40you make my heart beat like the day's drum you make my soul sing like the morning sun
