00:01Blake Snell in his last outing against Toronto was absolutely spectacular.
00:04His fastball command really was the best he's had all year long,
00:08and it set up all of his pitches.
00:10He truly had four weapons that he could make you swing and miss with.
00:14This is the type of ball game that they wanted him on this team to pitch.
00:19So I like the Giants' chances today, but they have to play good ball.
00:24Swings and pops this one up.
00:27And it's going to be Chapman in front of Wisely.
00:31That's how this game gets started.
00:33Shallow right field.
00:37Tyrell Estrada backpedaling.
00:39Two pop-ups in this game.
00:40And there are two away for Brooks Lee.
00:43One and two pitch.
00:45Strike three called on the outside corner.
00:48He got him with a curveball.
00:50It came back and caught the edge.
00:52Strong first.
00:52First is now Chris Paddock on the mound today.
00:56He's been here before.
00:57It's a Padre now facing the Giants as a twin.
01:00And a one-two to Solaire.
01:02There's 93.
01:02Well placed on the corner.
01:04And Solaire strikes out.
01:07One away, and Wade will come up.
01:091-0 pitch.
01:10And this one lifted in the air towards left field.
01:12Walner racing towards the line.
01:14Still going over there.
01:15And he'll make the catch in fair territory as he runs towards the side wall.
01:19And there are two away.
01:20Here's Elliott Ramos.
01:22One ball, no strikes to count.
01:24This one ground to the left side.
01:25Reaching out to his left is Castillo.
01:27Gets his first chance in the major league since 2022.
01:30And he comes up with it cleanly.
01:32And Santana points the glove his way as if to say nice job in that first opportunity.
01:38Ryan Jeffers leads it off.
01:39The one-two offering.
01:41Swing and a miss.
01:41He struck him out with another high-hard one.
01:44Out number one, second strikeout.
01:46Out number two.
01:47Max Kepler now.
01:49Snell delivers.
01:51He struck him out swinging a curve in the dirt.
01:54Bouncing off the glove of Bailey who retrieves it in front of the plate and throws him out at first.
02:00Three strikeouts in two innings.
02:01Six in a row retired by Snell.
02:03Here is Patrick Bailey.
02:06Bases this one to center.
02:08Margot on the run.
02:09Margot makes the play on the warning track.
02:12Found the ball and found the wall.
02:13And Paddock appreciates the effort.
02:16But Manny Margot filling in for Byron Buxton today in center.
02:20And the Giants have two men on now.
02:23Tyro trying to get his bat going here.
02:25Last chance before the break.
02:26Tyro's average for the year is only 220.
02:28On-base percentage is terrible.
02:30But he lines this one in the left field.
02:31That's a base hit.
02:33And that will be a run.
02:34Coming around third.
02:35Heading home is Conforto.
02:37The throw home from Walner is much too late.
02:40His first hit.
02:41And RBI in the series of the Giants lead 1-0.
02:45Two down.
02:46Blake Snell back on the mound.
02:47And he looks good.
02:47He's working with a nice rhythm.
02:49Stuff looks good.
02:50Fastball velocity is fine.
02:51But a lot of positive signs for Snell.
02:53One-two pitch.
02:54Walner strikes out swinging.
02:56Fastball.
02:56He just overpowered him.
02:58Blake Snell.
03:00Three perfect innings.
03:01Has four strikeouts.
03:02And looking very good so far today.
03:05One out for Lamont Wade Jr.
03:07Wade drives this one out towards right center field.
03:10Well hit.
03:11Margot chasing.
03:12It is up against the bottom of the wall.
03:14It sticks in the padding.
03:17Margot's going to play it back in.
03:19And Wade will be at second with a double.
03:22He's out number two.
03:23It's up to Patrick Bailey to get the Giants a second run.
03:26They lead 1-0.
03:27Here's the pitch.
03:28Bailey lines one out towards right center field.
03:30Margot chasing.
03:31And he will not get there.
03:33And lands base hit.
03:34Coming around third is Wade.
03:36And he will score.
03:38Patrick Bailey comes through with a two-out RBI single.
03:43So Patrick Bailey's probably feeling like he was owed that one.
03:46He clobbered a ball his first time up that was caught.
03:49This one hit much more softly.
03:51But it gets down for a hit.
03:53Blake Snell back to work against the top of the order.
03:55Margot Castro and Lee.
03:57Swing and a miss.
03:58He threw the curve and he strikes out.
04:00Margot beautifully thrown curveball there.
04:03Two down.
04:03Here's Lee.
04:04Here's a swing and a fly ball from Brooks Lee to right field.
04:08Yastrzemski underneath it.
04:10He'll catch it.
04:11And Blake Snell another 1-2-3 inning.
04:14That's 12 in a row retired by Snell to start this game.
04:17First out here in the Giants' fourth inning.
04:20He has drew a walk in the second.
04:23Roped fair down the right field line.
04:28Yastrzemski hustling in.
04:30He's got a two-bagger.
04:32Fifth strikeout for Chris Paddock here this afternoon.
04:35And here's Brett Wisely to bat.
04:37Ground ball routine.
04:38Second base.
04:38Lee fields it.
04:40And he'll retire wisely with the third out.
04:43They strand one.
04:44Five strikeouts for Blake Snell.
04:46He's retired all 12 twin batters.
04:49Got him.
04:50Do not take a picture and put that on my baseball card.
04:53Twins hitters are chasing that breaking ball.
04:56Yeah, that curveball has been pretty filthy here today.
04:59Out number two.
05:00Snell looking pretty confident right now.
05:02Starting to look healthy.
05:04Blake Snell kicks, throws.
05:06Swing.
05:07There's a high drive into your left field.
05:09Going back is Conforto.
05:10Now at the edge of the track.
05:11He squares up.
05:12He's got it.
05:1315 in a row retired by Blake Snell.
05:1661 pitches now.
05:18Here at the sixth inning.
05:19His last out he went 75 pitches and he hasn't gone beyond that today.
05:24Pitch character is going to be cut.
05:25Borrowed the story today.
05:26Things keep going like they're going.
05:27You're right.
05:29Snell spears it.
05:31That's 16 up.
05:3316 down.
05:34Now Vasquez.
05:36One out.
05:36One strike pitch.
05:37Ground ball into left center.
05:39Dive into his left.
05:40Wisely's got it up to his feet.
05:41And he throws him out at first.
05:44What a play by Wisely.
05:47Taking a hit away from Vasquez.
05:50Every one of them if you're going to throw a perfect game and no hitter has that play.
05:55And you can circle that one if history is made today.
05:58Snell's got the fans excited now.
06:01Two strikes out.
06:03Two down.
06:03Nobody on.
06:04Struck him.
06:05Out swinging.
06:06At six perfect innings from Blake Snell.
06:10Seven strikeouts.
06:11No base runners allowed.
06:13Blake Snell back to the mound.
06:15Top of the order coming up to the Twins.
06:16No runs and no hits.
06:18Blake Snell.
06:19I mean he has got dominant stuff.
06:21Margot does not need to be said.
06:23But he has hit this 0 for 2.
06:25Popped a third struck out.
06:27No swing.
06:29Again Paul Clemens.
06:30The first base umpire saying no swing.
06:32Let's take a look.
06:32It's the second time now in the last few hitters where a real close call has been called a check
06:38swing.
06:39Blake Snell will go back.
06:40Grab the Rosen bag.
06:42Take a moment to himself.
06:44This one line in the left field.
06:46That's a base hit.
06:47And that will erase history.
06:49The first batter in the seventh inning.
06:51And the perfect game is over.
06:53And this crowd will give Blake Snell an ovation.
06:56This crowd of over 34,000 acknowledging Blake Snell.
07:02Well you think back on the check swing.
07:04If he could have gone one inch more.
07:06As spectacular as he's been.
07:08The Giants only lead 2-0.
07:10The game is very much in the balance.
07:12He rolls one on the ground to short.
07:13Wisely has it.
07:14Flips to second one.
07:15Estrada to first.
07:17Got him double play.
07:19And Castro as he passes the bag.
07:22Takes his helmet off.
07:23And spikes it down in the grass in disgust.
07:26Two down.
07:26Stay so focused.
07:28Because you might be thinking about history.
07:30But he gets Castro to roll over to double play.
07:33So two down.
07:34Brooks Lee is 0 for 2.
07:35Lee is 0 for his last 11.
07:37Got him.
07:39Eight strikeouts.
07:40It's possible that Snell is done for the day.
07:42What a performance by Blake Snell.
07:45One hit and nobody has reached second base against him all game long.
07:51It's a 2-0 lead for the Giants.
07:55And Camino Duvall comes in.
07:5617 saves so far out of 20 opportunities in this first half.
08:0139th appearance out of the year.
08:02So one down.
08:03And the tying run is in scoring position.
08:06Well, for eight innings, they did nothing.
08:08But you only need one.
08:10Runwell Margo ended Blake Snell's chance at perfection.
08:15In the air to left center field.
08:17Deep in the gap.
08:17Carrying back towards the alley.
08:19And that is in play.
08:21This game is tied.
08:22Margo rounding second.
08:24On his way to third.
08:25He slips on his way to third.
08:27We'll get back to second base.
08:29Sliding.
08:31Manuel Margo in ninth inning game time.
08:33Two run double.
08:35It's 2-2 here in San Francisco.
08:37We go to the last half of the ninth inning.
08:39Yeah.
08:40And on the mound is Jawan Duran.
08:43He's walked 10, struck out 29.
08:45Opponents hitting 181 against him.
08:47For the Giants, Yastrzemski, Estrada, and Wisely.
08:51Giants second in all the major leagues.
08:54And Wachoff wins this year with eight.
08:55Yaz swings and hits one into the gap.
08:57Right center field.
08:58That one is falling.
08:59Falling.
09:00A dive.
09:00And no.
09:01It rolls past the center fielder, Margo.
09:04Yaz around second.
09:05Digging for third.
09:06And standing at third on a wild throw.
09:09The throw goes out of play.
09:11And this ball game is over.
09:15A Little League home run to wrap it up.
09:19A triple for Yastrzemski and then an incredibly wild and sort of insane throw that did not need to be
09:29made.
09:30And that gave the Giants the win.
09:33Three to two Giants.
09:36Well, we all saw that coming, didn't we?
09:38Did they need that or what?
09:39All right.
