00:00:30On MLB The Show, it's the San Francisco Giants taking on the Tampa Bay Rays.
00:00:38First pitch coming at you right after the break.
00:00:45And starting on the mound for the Rays, Nick Martinez.
00:00:48Base runners are tough to come by with him out there, Chris.
00:00:52Yeah, this guy's been real stingy, man.
00:00:54Not allowing guys to play the game, just keeping them at home played.
00:00:57I mean, just ridiculous.
00:00:58I mean, he's dominating hitters.
00:01:01And a guy like this in the mound, one of the elite starters in the game right now.
00:01:06Ready to go.
00:01:07Jung-Hoo Lee getting ready to hit.
00:01:18And a foul ball.
00:01:26Fought off foul.
00:01:33One-two.
00:01:36Knocks that one away, and we'll do it again.
00:01:48The Rays off to a hot start this season, playing very well in the early going.
00:01:57Struck him out looking.
00:02:01Now we take a peek at the Giants lineup.
00:02:04Seeing the numbers tell us this is an offense designed to swing it.
00:02:08They're not going to force a ton of action on the bases.
00:02:11And so, obviously, that is one of the focal points that we'll look at.
00:02:14And you look at the quality of the at-bats because of the fact that the legs aren't a part
00:02:18of this game.
00:02:19They have to be very selective.
00:02:21Look for long pitch counts, grinding out at-bats, and really barrels to the baseball.
00:02:25Because it's a lot easier to jog around the bases than for these players to sprint.
00:02:29And third shortstop, Willie Adamas.
00:02:31Willie Adamas stands in.
00:02:33He really needs to start making more contact.
00:02:36Striking out nearly twice in each of the last five games.
00:02:42Strike on the inside corner.
00:02:44Yeah, you mentioned how well they've played, Boog.
00:02:46And I think it's a sign of things to come.
00:02:48You don't win as frequently as they have by accident.
00:02:51Oh, look at the stop.
00:02:53And very nicely done for the hour.
00:02:56Now it's the Rays' turn.
00:02:58No score.
00:02:59This is Rays' baseball on the show, Florida.
00:03:05Back down at the chop for the bottom of the first.
00:03:07And on the hill for the Giants, Robbie Ray.
00:03:11Chris, he's got the ability to take control of a game when he's out there.
00:03:15Leading off, Jonathan Oranga.
00:03:17First baseman, number eight, Jonathan Oranga.
00:03:25Strike, ooh!
00:03:35Out towards right center field.
00:03:38It gets down.
00:03:40A base hit.
00:03:41So a runner aboard to start the inning.
00:03:45Got in second.
00:03:46Put a pretty good jolt into that one.
00:03:48Great swing.
00:03:49Nice balance and weight transfer.
00:03:51And he got it to drop in out there in the deep part of the field.
00:03:54Yandy Diaz now.
00:03:57Three hits and a loss last night.
00:03:59Gets the outside corner with that one.
00:04:13Breaking ball in there for a strike.
00:04:15Wow, just a beautiful backdoor slider right there.
00:04:17If you've got any chance of hitting that pitch, you'd have to wait until the absolutely last millisecond.
00:04:23And just a tough pitch to hit and not an easy one to throw either.
00:04:27Waves at the bender for the strikeout.
00:04:32Now a look at Kevin Cash's lineup for the Tampa Bay Rays.
00:04:36Ziggy, this lineup has the benefit of playing behind a great pitching staff.
00:04:40They've got a really low ERA.
00:04:42Yeah, and you know, with that said, there's not as much pressure on the offense.
00:04:45But make no mistake about it.
00:04:47Players want to hit the ball hard and they want to score runs.
00:04:50They want to jog around the bases hitting the ball over the fence.
00:04:53So regardless of how dominant the staff can be, the attitude is we want to go out there and have
00:04:59some fun with the bats.
00:05:00So we'll see.
00:05:01One big inning in this one, you know, could be all they need.
00:05:03But you'd like to have multiple big innings.
00:05:13Man at first, one away.
00:05:21On the ground, could be two.
00:05:24Chapman to second.
00:05:25On to first, double play.
00:05:28An inning in the books tonight.
00:05:29And we're scoreless here on the show.
00:05:42We move ahead to the top of the second now.
00:05:44Now the Giants four-hitter, Matt Chapman.
00:05:51Ripped, but a curls foul.
00:05:56All over the first pitch fastball right there, but just a little bit out front.
00:06:01Got to let it travel just a bit more.
00:06:05Bounced up the middle.
00:06:07Palacios.
00:06:08Throw picked out of the third body save.
00:06:12And it looks like they might end up challenging this one.
00:06:16Very close play.
00:06:17And we will take another look as well.
00:06:19I couldn't tell on live action, that's for sure.
00:06:21And, you know, the umpire is so much closer to the play.
00:06:24And he thought he beat the throw, so we'll see.
00:06:30Well, they are going to challenge the call.
00:06:32And so now the decision will be made by the umpires at the replay center back in New York.
00:06:37Another look at it.
00:06:39Singer, are you seeing enough to change the call?
00:06:41Yeah, I think so, Boog.
00:06:42I mean, it's close.
00:06:43But I think after looking at it a few times, we can see that this guy's probably out.
00:06:47And could be a good use of the challenge right here.
00:06:51Looks like we've got an answer.
00:06:53And he's out.
00:06:54They took a chance with the challenge and it paid off for him.
00:06:59One down.
00:07:00Harrison Bader.
00:07:01The next giant to hit.
00:07:07Bader launched a homer in his most recent game.
00:07:13To the right side.
00:07:15And that chance handled.
00:07:17Throw short hops a bit first.
00:07:19Can't come up with it.
00:07:20He's safe.
00:07:21Well, from the time you're a little leaguer, you're taught to hustle out of the box and give it a
00:07:25full sprint through the base regardless of how you hit it.
00:07:29And he didn't make great contact, but the effort was there.
00:07:32And he earns the base hit.
00:07:37No score here in the second.
00:07:39Runner on the goal.
00:07:40That smacked on a line to center.
00:07:53Here's Elliot Ramos.
00:08:01And a first pitch fastball is in for a strike.
00:08:05Ramos.
00:08:05Runner, runner, runner.
00:08:06Here goes the runner.
00:08:07Now this ball is well hit.
00:08:09This one's got a chance.
00:08:13Grabs it right up against the wall.
00:08:19Three hits in the inning, but nothing to show for it on the scoreboard.
00:08:24Down to the bottom of the second.
00:08:26Ready to go for the last half of the inning.
00:08:28And stepping in for the raise, Cedric Mullins.
00:08:33Cedric Mullins.
00:08:48Comes up empty.
00:08:50That's strike two.
00:08:51Ooh, rusty Valentine umpiring behind the plate in this one.
00:08:54He has what you might call a tall strike zone.
00:08:57Both at the letters and down below the knees.
00:09:00Yeah, and I'm sure that helps a lot of pitchers we see today who like to work up, down, trying
00:09:05to change eye levels and swing paths.
00:09:07Yep, exactly.
00:09:14High fly ball, right field.
00:09:18Lee takes it in for the out.
00:09:21What a way.
00:09:26Batting fifth, the shortstop.
00:09:28Carson Williams next to hit for the raise.
00:09:40That one a little bit high.
00:09:42Ball one.
00:09:49Swing, and a ball popped up.
00:09:51Devers.
00:09:53Two down.
00:09:57Batting sixth, left fielder, Chandler.
00:10:00So next to the plate for Tampa Bay, Chandler Simpson.
00:10:04Eighth best batting average in the American League.
00:10:14That one he's looking for there in the 0-0 count.
00:10:17Looks like he wants the ball down in the zone.
00:10:24In the air, left field.
00:10:28And that'll fall for a base hit.
00:10:30Joey gets on base and keeps it going.
00:10:34Well, as hot hitting continues, he's been getting great results lately.
00:10:38And now a chance to maybe get creative on offense with good speed on first.
00:10:42Jake Fraley next to hit for the raise.
00:10:53Well, if he's going to steal second, you want him to go early in the count.
00:10:56That way, he's not a distraction to the hitter at the plate.
00:10:59Go ahead and get it out of the way so the hitter can focus on the pitch.
00:11:02Just a slow ground ball this time.
00:11:05In time to Devers.
00:11:07And that'll do it.
00:11:09We'll move to the third with no score.
00:11:17Back here in Tampa Bay, digging in, Casey Schmitt.
00:11:26Martinez, back to work.
00:11:29In the air, right field.
00:11:32Into the dive, and he got it!
00:11:35What a play!
00:11:40And wow, what a great diamond catch, Ziggy.
00:11:44Statcast says that was a near-perfect route, and it had to be.
00:11:47But that's just a big part of his game.
00:11:50I mean, this guy's instincts just seem to always put him in a position to make special plays.
00:11:55And right there, he's done it again.
00:11:57Daniel Susak, batting with one down, takes a strike.
00:12:04Yeah, that's fouled off.
00:12:12Here's the 0-2.
00:12:25A really good take, especially with two strikes.
00:12:39Base hit.
00:12:40That was smoked through the infield.
00:12:42So the one-out hit turns the lineup over.
00:12:46Up next for the Giants.
00:12:47I know that was a ground ball, but it was absolutely hammered through the infield.
00:12:51That's not one you're excited to get in front of if you're an infielder.
00:12:54You know they used to say, charge it.
00:12:56Crazy.
00:13:02Fastball for a strike.
00:13:09This one in the dirt.
00:13:20Ball to strike.
00:13:22The pitch.
00:13:23Line drive.
00:13:25Makes the grab.
00:13:30Up next for the Giants.
00:13:32First baseman, Rafael Devers.
00:13:48Singe, he boasts a batting average at the moment that ranks in the top five in the league.
00:13:56Right through there for a strike.
00:14:05In the air left side, Simpson gets under it.
00:14:09And that is that.
00:14:13One hit, one left.
00:14:14We move on to the bottom of inning number three.
00:14:17No score.
00:14:27Back at the ballpark in one of the things that's been happening lately.
00:14:30Hot hitting as we take a look at the numbers this month.
00:14:34Show me why you fine.
00:14:35Don't waste no time.
00:14:37Just shift that waistline.
00:14:38You know who I be.
00:14:40Up in VIP.
00:14:41They want a VIP.
00:14:43They want to stay bubbly.
00:14:45Just missed.
00:14:53Nope.
00:14:54That's a win.
00:15:00Ground ball right side.
00:15:03Devers takes it to the bag.
00:15:06Lead-off man retired here in the third.
00:15:08Batting ninth, second baseman, Richie Palaccio.
00:15:29Still tied at zero.
00:15:30Last of the third.
00:15:35No, that's a ball.
00:15:42Yeah, there's the strike.
00:15:50On the outside corner, got him looking.
00:15:53Well-executed pitch on the outside part of the plate.
00:15:58So the Rays batting order turns over.
00:16:01Jonathan Arundel digs in down.
00:16:04One for one.
00:16:05He let off the bottom of the first with a single.
00:16:09That one ripped right center field.
00:16:11Way back there.
00:16:12It's got a chance.
00:16:13And that one hops the wall.
00:16:16And that one hops the wall.
00:16:17Safely into second.
00:16:18He's got a double.
00:16:20Wasting no time.
00:16:21He's two for two now on the night.
00:16:24And just a triple and home run away from the cycle.
00:16:27Seriously, we're starting with this already.
00:16:39Well, they're looking to get on the board first here after that clutch two-out double made this inning interesting.
00:16:44The Rays with a chance to score first here in the last half of the third.
00:16:51Next offering is fouled back.
00:17:04That's in there.
00:17:06Yeah, the count one and two.
00:17:07Well, a good slider from an opposite-handed pitcher has to stay in that tunnel just a little bit longer.
00:17:12Otherwise, recognition can cause you to barrel it up.
00:17:15And right there, the hitter clearly.
00:17:17Now, that's strike three.
00:17:18And the third out.
00:17:19So we take a break.
00:17:21A double in the inning, but they leave him stranded.
00:17:24Three innings complete.
00:17:25We're tied.
00:17:26Nothing-nothing.
00:17:27Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:17:29We fly high.
00:17:31Yeah, it's me and my tribe.
00:17:33And we're like, it's all right.
00:17:37Out of the fourth.
00:17:38Stepping in, Willie Adamas.
00:17:41Willie Adamas.
00:17:46All these giants, to put it bluntly, need to put together more competitive at-bats.
00:17:51And I don't think they've lived up to their own expectations at the plate.
00:17:54They're swinging early, being aggressive, but one or two pitches later, the at-bat is over.
00:17:59That's not going to cut it if it's not resulting in hits.
00:18:02So they might want to be a little more selective up there.
00:18:11That one fouled hard the other way.
00:18:17And now it's one and two.
00:18:29Keeps the at-bat going with a foul ball.
00:18:52Foul off the plate.
00:18:54They'll do it again.
00:18:55Well, he's desperately looking for that swing and miss.
00:18:58He's going to have to just change speeds a little bit, try to move it around, create just a little
00:19:03bit of illusion at the end.
00:19:11The 2-2.
00:19:14Fights it off.
00:19:15You'll see another.
00:19:23Here's the 2-2.
00:19:26Battling here as he fouls it away.
00:19:32Comes a 2-2.
00:19:37That one sizzling on its way through to the outfield.
00:19:40They saw a lot of pitches in that at-bat and found a way to win the battle.
00:19:45But when you see that many pitches in that at-bat, your chances of succeeding go up.
00:19:49And right there, we see the result.
00:19:58That's in for a strike.
00:20:00Kelly's been incredibly efficient in this one.
00:20:02First pitch strike percentage over 70%.
00:20:04That's well above league average, and that's what's allowed him to pitch well up into this point.
00:20:10This ball's chopped on the ground.
00:20:12And it's just fouled.
00:20:14That was close.
00:20:15So now it's all about protect mode.
00:20:17Try to shorten up.
00:20:18Try to track the ball.
00:20:19Block it if you have to.
00:20:21And this one could be extra bases.
00:20:27Here comes the runner.
00:20:30He scores, and they have the lead.
00:20:33Well, they strike first as he gets the job done to bring home the run.
00:20:37Loud contact leads to the double.
00:20:39I mean, you could tell it had extra bases written all over it as it jumped off of his stick.
00:20:45Runner in scoring position.
00:20:47No outs.
00:20:48So here's Bader now.
00:20:51Diaz.
00:20:54To first, and he beats it.
00:20:56Everyone's safe.
00:20:59Up next for the Giants.
00:21:01The designated hitter.
00:21:03He's all for one.
00:21:11That one the other way.
00:21:13Can't reach it.
00:21:14This should score at least one.
00:21:16One runs in.
00:21:18Here comes Bader around third.
00:21:20In to score from first.
00:21:22And they take a three-run lead.
00:21:25And he's got a two-run triple.
00:21:27Well, there you go.
00:21:28The RBI machine.
00:21:30Another clutch run scoring it back.
00:21:33Yeah, he's been so good in these situations.
00:21:35Call it clutch if you want.
00:21:37But his resume speaks for itself.
00:21:47And he's down 0-2 as he swings through it.
00:21:50Very well executed changeup right there.
00:21:52If he can command the fastball consistently, that's going to be an important pitch in terms
00:21:56of him turning this outing around.
00:21:59Runner at third.
00:22:00Nobody out.
00:22:01Top half of inning number four.
00:22:03Cut on and missed him out.
00:22:05And there's one down.
00:22:06I mean, there aren't many curveballs in the sport today that break like that thing does.
00:22:11Huge movement.
00:22:12It's so difficult to get on the same plane and even think about squaring it up, let alone
00:22:16get a piece and hope he throws something else to keep the bat alive.
00:22:19Schmitt swings through it for strike one.
00:22:25Ripped on the ground a second.
00:22:27Tosses the first.
00:22:28Two away.
00:22:32Up next for the Giants, catcher Daniel Cusack.
00:22:36One for one with a single so far.
00:22:40Well, a really rough inning out there on the mound.
00:22:42And this is one of those where you learn a lot about a guy's toughness and his ability
00:22:47to turn the page and keep pressing forward.
00:22:49Tosses the first.
00:22:50Then they're happy to just get off the field after that frame.
00:22:54So they move out in front after a four run outburst.
00:22:58On now to the bottom of the fourth.
00:23:00It's the Giants four.
00:23:02The Rays nothing.
00:23:03You're watching Tampa Bay Rays.
00:23:05Back here at the ballpark.
00:23:07Let's check out the latest news from around the league.
00:23:09The hitter, Junior Camadero.
00:23:19Well, these Rays, as this game goes on, have to be more disciplined at the plate.
00:23:23So many of their outs have come from weak contact on pitches they're chasing outside of the strike zone.
00:23:28You can't do much of anything with those locations.
00:23:31And that's been true again today.
00:23:37The O2.
00:23:41Twings and misses.
00:23:42It's a strikeout.
00:23:43And that's four strikeouts.
00:23:45Been a pretty rough start to this series for him at the plate.
00:23:48Three strikeouts in the first game yesterday.
00:23:50Another one right there.
00:23:52They clearly got a great plan for how to deal with this guy right now.
00:23:55Patrick Mullins.
00:24:01And he's the home run leader on this team, Siggy.
00:24:04And obviously, a lot of credit for all those chases and strikeouts goes to the pitching.
00:24:08It's been nasty.
00:24:09But you can bet this offense is trying to figure out some way to put up a better fight.
00:24:14Foul ball.
00:24:29No throw.
00:24:30He's in safely.
00:24:31And now there's a runner at first.
00:24:36One down.
00:24:37Carson Williams.
00:24:38Next to him for the raise.
00:24:400 for 1 so far.
00:24:45Runner on the goal.
00:24:47Ball outside.
00:24:49Throw bounces.
00:24:50And he's in there safely with the stolen base.
00:24:53You don't usually see teams trying to claw back into games by being aggressive on the base pass like this.
00:24:58But it's still early in this one.
00:25:00This kind of tells me they're going to try to tackle this one one run at a time instead of
00:25:04waiting back for a big three-run homer.
00:25:07Fastball for a strike.
00:25:09Fastball for a strike.
00:25:11Let's go, Ray.
00:25:13Let's go, Ray.
00:25:15Let's go, Ray.
00:25:17Let's go, Ray.
00:25:17Let's go, Ray.
00:25:21Let's go, Ray.
00:25:28Let's go, Ray.
00:25:37Man, it's second.
00:25:40And it's fouled off.
00:25:41They'll do it again.
00:25:49Here's a one-two.
00:26:00On the ground to third.
00:26:03Slings to first in time.
00:26:08Up next for the Rays, left fielder Chandler Simpson.
00:26:21If I'm at the dish right now, I am aggressive over the heart of the plate.
00:26:25This guy's been filling up the strike zone, so you know you're going to get a good pitch to hit.
00:26:29And as nasty as his stuff is, you might as well take all three swings.
00:26:34Swings, and this one's flair.
00:26:36Base hit.
00:26:37Mullins headed home.
00:26:39He'll score easily.
00:26:41They're on the board for one.
00:26:43Well done.
00:26:44Narrows the deficit with the RBI there.
00:26:46He clearly didn't catch that one on the big part of the bat.
00:26:49Just kind of muscled it out there.
00:26:51And on the mound, it can be pretty frustrating for a pitcher.
00:26:54But you just kind of have to expect those to drop in there sometimes.
00:26:57Move over to Furs, trying to keep him close.
00:27:05At the plate.
00:27:06Jake Fraley.
00:27:07This one in the air center field.
00:27:10Bader moving under it.
00:27:12And that is the third out of the inning.
00:27:16But the RBI single pushes across a run.
00:27:19It's now 4-1.
00:27:26Back now in Tampa Bay.
00:27:28Now it's the Giants' leadoff hitter.
00:27:30Jung-Hoo Lee.
00:27:34Fastball is outside.
00:27:36All these Giants doing a good job of simply getting the bat on the ball in this game.
00:27:40And the numbers back that up.
00:27:42The numbers tell us they're averaging more than a hit every inning.
00:27:45And they've only struck out twice.
00:27:47So they keep finding ways to put their bat on the ball.
00:27:50Swings through.
00:27:51That one for strike two.
00:28:01Swing and a miss struck him out.
00:28:08Up next for the Giants.
00:28:10First baseman, Rafael Devers.
00:28:24A little out front there as he swings through it.
00:28:30Fights that one away.
00:28:31And the count remains 0-2.
00:28:53In the air, right field.
00:28:56Two away.
00:28:59Maybe caught that one off the end just a little bit.
00:29:01Couldn't quite barrel it up enough to really drive it.
00:29:06Here's the shortstop at the play.
00:29:08Willie Adamas put together a great and bad last time.
00:29:12Really battled.
00:29:13Ended up with a base hit.
00:29:15Hit on the ground to short.
00:29:16Williams.
00:29:17And that is that.
00:29:20Giants down in order as they hold on to a 4-1 lead.
00:29:34Bottom of the inning.
00:29:35And now the catcher for the Rays, Hunter Fiduccia.
00:29:38Hunter Fiduccia.
00:29:42Missed with a changeup.
00:29:43Ball one.
00:29:44Good spot there, but didn't get the strike at the knees.
00:29:47And doesn't seem too convinced by the call out there on the mound
00:29:50as he tries to get a better sense of the umpire strike zone.
00:29:53So two balls and no strikes.
00:30:00In the air to left center.
00:30:02Ramos should have this one.
00:30:05And there's one down.
00:30:11Up next for the Rays, second baseman, Richie Palacios.
00:30:23That is upstairs for ball one.
00:30:26The Giants leading by three.
00:30:29Last half of inning number five.
00:30:31Swings and misses at the pitch off the plate.
00:30:39Center field.
00:30:42That's out number two.
00:30:46Up next for the Rays.
00:30:49First baseman, Jonathan.
00:30:50So the batting order turns over.
00:30:53Jonathan Aranda next to hit for the Rays.
00:31:10And a big swing and a miss.
00:31:18Close one doesn't get the call.
00:31:21Ball two.
00:31:37Out to center.
00:31:41That is the inning.
00:31:44So they go quietly there.
00:31:47Five innings complete.
00:31:48It's the Giants four, the Rays one.
00:31:53Back at the ballpark.
00:31:55Let's take a look at some of the moments that stand out to us.
00:32:23And now, Matt Chapman.
00:32:25That's third baseman, Matt Chapman.
00:32:42Slice to right.
00:32:44And a quick out number one.
00:32:46Sometimes you want to be aggressive early in the bat.
00:32:48He was right there.
00:32:49Hard line out.
00:32:50First pitch of the inning.
00:32:51No reward, but hey, you got to keep swinging it.
00:32:59That's the third.
00:33:00And that's a fair ball.
00:33:02So a man aboard now with one away.
00:33:10Here comes Luis Arise.
00:33:16The plate.
00:33:17If you're looking for contact, this is your guy.
00:33:19Yeah.
00:33:19And if you're looking for batting titles, he's also your guy.
00:33:23Arise is the first player in MLB history to win three straight with three different teams.
00:33:29The Twins, Diaz.
00:33:31The throw to second is offline.
00:33:36Up next for the Giants, left fielder, Elliot Ramos.
00:33:46And that's through there for a strike.
00:33:48And it's Olin' Wong.
00:33:55Palacios.
00:33:56Toss to second.
00:33:57Yeah.
00:33:57And that's two.
00:33:59A hit and an error in the inning, but they fail to score.
00:34:02Two, three, four, due up in the home half of the six.
00:34:05It's the Giants four, the Rays one.
00:34:08This is Rays baseball on the show, Florida.
00:34:15Bottom of the six.
00:34:16And stepping in for the Rays, Yandy Diaz.
00:34:28Yandy Diaz.
00:34:34He's one of the best players in baseball when it comes to scoring runs, Singhi.
00:34:38His numbers are good enough to put him in the top ten.
00:34:52Swing and a ground ball out to short.
00:34:56To first.
00:34:57Lead off man retired in the six.
00:34:59Up next for the Rays, designated hitter, Junior Camadero.
00:35:11Lifted to left center.
00:35:13Way back there.
00:35:14And that is gone.
00:35:21His ninth homer of the year.
00:35:24And they close the gap.
00:35:25It's 4-2.
00:35:27He absolutely crushed that one.
00:35:30No doubt about that one, Boog.
00:35:32We knew it wasn't coming back.
00:35:37So let's take a closer look inside the numbers.
00:35:40That blast from StatCast, 113 miles an hour off the bat, Singhi.
00:35:45And it just flew out of here, Boog.
00:35:48Even if you only heard the ball hit the bat, you knew that was a home run.
00:35:52I mean, he put a perfect swing on it, and the numbers back it up.
00:36:06High fly ball near the pole.
00:36:08That one is foul.
00:36:11That's a really good pass to the ball right there.
00:36:13Just a little bit too quick.
00:36:14Got to find a way.
00:36:15Just let it travel.
00:36:16I care more.
00:36:19Hit weakly on the ground.
00:36:21Devers takes it to the back, steps on first, and it's out number two.
00:36:28And here's a look at how he's using his pitches in this one.
00:36:31Well, he's known for that four-seamer, Boog.
00:36:33And we've seen plenty of it from him today.
00:36:35You don't throw one pitch this much without having plenty of confidence in it.
00:36:40And he's been pretty solid till now, so he may stick with this strategy.
00:36:44Williams.
00:36:44Williams up to him for the third time as he lays off inside.
00:36:48Ball one.
00:37:02Splits the plate.
00:37:04One and two.
00:37:15That's out to center field.
00:37:17Bader settles underneath it.
00:37:19And that's the third out.
00:37:23The Rays creep closer thanks to the homer.
00:37:27It's now 4-2.
00:37:29You can see my demeanor.
00:37:31I'm a dreamer.
00:37:32How you achieve a dream.
00:37:33You know when with.
00:37:37Now pitching for the Rays.
00:37:38Welcome back.
00:37:38We're in the seventh.
00:37:39We have a new pitcher on the mound.
00:37:41Cole Sulcer.
00:37:42Pretty tight game, so they're looking for quality pitches out of him right here.
00:37:46Got to do his best to keep the score right where it is.
00:37:55Just missed.
00:38:04Go on.
00:38:20the one-two that's foul off to the right side keeps the a B going
00:38:32fouls it off still one and two
00:38:42oh can't pick it up cleanly and it's in time it wasn't the smoothest play you'll
00:38:49see today but they still get the out
00:39:04ball one
00:39:11ball
00:39:26two one now shots missed
00:39:36and he walked him like a questionable call in that spot he even seemed a little surprised it went
00:39:42his way at the plate but as a hitter you'll take that all day so back to the top of
00:39:47the order
00:39:47Jung-Hoo Lee the next to hit
00:39:52fouled off left side
00:40:04swing and a ball lifted in the air Simpson under it he makes the grab
00:40:28swing and a foul out of play
00:40:38oh one now
00:40:40way out front for strike two
00:40:46suset off the first with two away fouled off and they'll do it again
00:40:58oh great stop throw to second nicely done for the out
00:41:03one left for san francisco as they can't add to their 4-2 lead
00:41:11we're back in a new picture here to start the bottom of the seventh Eric Miller
00:41:16these are the spots relievers really make a name for themselves late and close there's
00:41:22not much margin for error but at the same time there's a reason they're put in these situations
00:41:33so important to get ahead of these hitters you don't want to issue a free pass and allow that tying
00:41:38run to come to the plate
00:41:39i was going to keep that other team in a position where if they're going to beat you they're going
00:41:42to have to do it with multiple hits
00:41:45foul ball there
00:41:57the 0-2
00:42:00on the ground the first
00:42:01devers

00:42:27sam henthes
00:42:28a left-handed reliever appears to be getting loose
00:42:31buto getting cranked up as well
00:42:36when you throw a fastball by a guy like that i imagine it's got to feel incredible look for him
00:42:42to throw it again at some point
00:42:48high fly ball out to left field
00:42:50ramos settles underneath it and there are two down
00:42:59that's for the rain hunter for ducha now at the plate
00:43:02hunter
00:43:19and immediately pumps in a strike to the left-handed hitter
00:43:24two down nobody on here at the bottom of the seven
00:43:31swing and a miss and the count is 0-2
00:43:34well you got the hitter already chasing that nasty slider if you're on the mound you just want to expand
00:43:39the zone right now
00:43:40get a swing and miss and get through this at bat
00:43:51back up the oh that got him
00:43:55safe at first and an infield single keeps the inning going
00:44:01and now they'll hustle out to check on him that was quite a shot he took as you see him
00:44:06down on the knee
00:44:07yeah clearly in some real pain but he will not want to come out of this game if he doesn't
00:44:12have to
00:44:12it's looking to me like he's going to try to shake it off and continue
00:44:32time run at the plate
00:44:34no
00:44:42that's in there and a count one and two
00:45:06the tying run at the plate three two two out runner on first a lot of movement in the infield

00:45:12got to stay focused on the pitch jonathan aranda in the on-deck circle hoping to get a chance to
00:45:18make a big impact here
00:45:22and a payoff pitch got him rusty valentine rings him up
00:45:28so one hit is all they get eighth inning coming up it's the giants for the rays two
00:45:34you're watching tampa bay rays baseball on the show florida
00:45:47now pitching welcome back and a new arm of the mound to start the eight joe boyle
00:45:52power slider guy bro he throws it hard and gets a lot of late movement so it's tough to pick
00:45:57up
00:45:58willie adamas getting ready to hit the bit behind with that swing it's strike one
00:46:08bottom of the zone and a called strike boyle the six eight righty he features a foreseen fastball
00:46:15a slider and occasionally works in a splitter
00:46:26high fly ball lifted in the year right field fraley under this one and there's one away
00:46:34and there's one out for the giant third baseman matt chapman
00:46:47on the ground the third
00:46:50gets it the first two up two down here at the top of the gate next for the giant
00:46:55two outs space is empty and now bader up to the plate
00:47:03a goal
00:47:18gets him to chase after that one
00:47:20he has a tendency to chase out of his own and that slider that's down that's one of
00:47:25his money pitches to get that swing and miss
00:47:28Keeps the at-bat going with a foul ball.
00:47:33Two down, nobody on.
00:47:37Lined, and that's a base hit.
00:47:40Takes the turn.
00:47:41He's digging for second.
00:47:43The throw in, and he'll pull into second with two gone.
00:47:47Having himself a really nice game at the plate.
00:47:50Nice line drive to the pull side right there, but he didn't spin off of it.
00:47:53That's the key.
00:47:54You still have to extend through the baseball in order to hit a line drive like that.
00:48:04In the dirt.
00:48:17And foul ball.
00:48:26Base knocks center field.
00:48:28Here comes Bader around third.
00:48:31He will score.
00:48:32It's an RBI single, and they take a three-run lead.
00:48:37Saw a man aboard.
00:48:39Elliott Ramos digs in down.
00:48:56That one's in there.
00:48:57That strike two.
00:49:10Struck him out of the front-door breaking ball.
00:49:14So one run in the inning on this base hit.
00:49:17It's 5-2.
00:49:25Back down, new pitcher on the mound as we roll into the bottom of the eighth.
00:49:29Jose Buto.
00:49:30He pitched yesterday, and we'll see him once again.
00:49:33Leading off for the Rays.
00:49:35First base.
00:49:41Jonathan O'Wanda.
00:49:47Yes.
00:50:01Next offering in there for a strike.
00:50:04That is strike two.
00:50:05Well, he had a pretty good look at that pitch, and not sure exactly what tied him up there.
00:50:10Couldn't pull the trigger.
00:50:11And perhaps the best pitch he'll see in this at-bat to hit.
00:50:15Got him.
00:50:16One gone here.
00:50:17Make quick work of him right there, Siggy.
00:50:19I know that's the kind of at-bat maybe leaves a lot of fans wondering,
00:50:22what was he doing up there, right?
00:50:24Yeah, and I get that.
00:50:25I mean, you take two straight strikes, then chase one way out of the zone.
00:50:29It's just not a good at-bat.
00:50:30It'll leave you shaking your head as a hitter, if not worse.
00:50:33But there's always going to be those trips to the plate where you're just lost up there,
00:50:36and that was one of them for sure.
00:50:42The 1-0.
00:50:46And it's found away.
00:50:51The Rays trailing by three.
00:50:54Here's the bottom half of the eighth inning.
00:50:58Got the bat going too soon.
00:51:00It's strike two.
00:51:15Strike three, and that's two in a row.
00:51:17Well, he's going to have some thinking to do when he leaves the ballpark after this one.
00:51:20That was his third strikeout, and this one looking, obviously, so he's been a little overmatched.
00:51:26He's got to find a way just to be more competitive up there at the plate.
00:51:35Oh, he hit him.
00:51:36And that got him pretty flush.
00:51:38Up next for the Rays.
00:51:41So two down, Cedric Mullins next to hit for the Rays.
00:51:450 for 3.
00:51:46A fly out, a ground out, and a strikeout.
00:51:52That one outside.
00:51:54Ball one.
00:52:16Way inside.
00:52:18Way inside.
00:52:28Two balls and a strike.
00:52:29Here it comes.
00:52:31This one popped up.
00:52:32Foul ground, first base side.
00:52:36Has room, and he makes the catch.
00:52:39The Rays strand just the one.
00:52:41They trail at 5-2.
00:52:48Now pitching for the Rays.
00:52:49We're back.
00:52:50It's the top of the ninth, and there's a new pitcher on the mound.
00:52:52Garrett Plevenger, just trying to keep this one close here,
00:52:56and this is where a bullpen can give their players a chance to fight back into the game.
00:53:00Offer set for good.
00:53:01Second baseman, Casey Schroeder.
00:53:07Woo!
00:53:08Woo!
00:53:09Woo!
00:53:10Woo!
00:53:11Woo!
00:53:11Woo!
00:53:11Woo!
00:53:12Woo!
00:53:14Woo!
00:53:15Woo!
00:53:16Woo!
00:53:17Woo!
00:53:22Woo!
00:53:23Woo!
00:53:24The 0-2.
00:53:26Good job to fight that one off.
00:53:38Gets a piece, and stays alive.
00:53:45Here's the 0-2.
00:53:48In the air to left center, Mullins has a beat on it.
00:53:52One down.
00:53:58Up next for the Giants, catcher Daniel Cusack.
00:54:07And first offering is fouled off.
00:54:18Popped foul out of play off to the right.
00:54:24Swing and a miss.
00:54:26Struck him out.
00:54:27Now two away.
00:54:28Way out in front of that inside pitch there.
00:54:30Just exactly the opposite kind of approach that you want with two strikes.
00:54:34You want to let the ball travel.
00:54:36Make sure you recognize it.
00:54:37Try to shorten up so that you can at least put the ball in play.
00:54:41Clearly fooled, but I think even more so, you question the two-strike approach.
00:54:47Knee high.
00:54:47That's in for a strike.
00:54:49Boney's gotten ahead with two pitches down in the zone.
00:54:51He has plenty of options right here.
00:54:53He can go off.
00:54:54He can go away.
00:54:54He can add velocity.
00:54:56He can subtract.
00:54:57And they'll do it again.
00:55:00Two down.
00:55:01Nobody on.
00:55:02You're at the top of the night.
00:55:06And he can't come up with it.
00:55:09Still manages a throw.
00:55:10Safe at first as they can't make the play.
00:55:13See, Boog, that right there, that's a perfect example of why he shouldn't be out there at that position.
00:55:18He clearly isn't comfortable.
00:55:20He doesn't look fluid.
00:55:21His foot works all over the place.
00:55:23And just can't make that throw to beat the runner.
00:55:26Man at first.
00:55:27Now it's Devers at the plate.
00:55:30Right back to him on the mound.
00:55:33Slings to first.
00:55:34And Devers is set down.
00:55:36And that's the inning.
00:55:37So the Giants leave one.
00:55:39They're still out in front 5-2.
00:55:47Back now and on the mound, the closer, Ryan Walker.
00:55:52I think closer has to be one of the toughest jobs in baseball.
00:55:55And we see a pretty high turnover rate because of it.
00:55:58Every outing seems to be high pressure.
00:56:01This one included.
00:56:02We'll see if he can wrap up the win and get himself a save.
00:56:21Here's your one.
00:56:23Oh!
00:56:50Here we go.
00:56:50Give me a hand.
00:56:50Here we go.
00:56:51Here we go.
00:57:06swing and a miss Ryan Walker the strikeout wow just great bite to that slider broke hard out of
00:57:12the zone and he just couldn't hold up the swing you know as a hitter that pitch is really hard
00:57:17to take it there's just not much you can do with it you know that right you don't want to
00:57:21get rung up
00:57:22by the umpire hit hard on the ground is short Adamas the throw to first down to the last out
00:57:37for the Rays that's a huge defensive play in the late stages of the game it might not be the
00:57:43most
00:57:43challenging we've seen today but it needed to be made that's helping your team
00:57:56Walker looking to reach double-digit saves on the year this one smoked on its way out of here
00:58:08Jake Fraley launches one his second of the year and a inch closer it's five three this crowd has
00:58:17really come alive this place is loud anytime you have a pitch down the middle of the plate the
00:58:26percentages go up for the hitter to do damage even if it's a pretty good sinker like that one
00:58:30nice piece of hitting there at the plate
00:58:37Hunter for Ducha will hit next one for three
00:58:47this is the guy they turn to to get the most important outs of the ball game but
00:58:51they're gonna make him work to get this save the Giants trying to close out a two-run lead
00:58:57we're in the last half of the ninth inning
00:59:16ball to strike
