00:00:20From inside Tropicana Field in Tampa Bay,
00:00:24Interleague Baseball on MLB The Show.
00:00:28The San Francisco Giants taking on the Tampa Bay Rays.
00:00:33John Chomby, Chris Singleton with you.
00:00:35Well, Singley, as we come into this one, it's all about the sweep.
00:00:39Yeah, and any time there's a chance for the Bruins to come out,
00:00:42the pressure is definitely on.
00:00:44We'll see if they can find a way to salvage at least one in this series.
00:00:53First pitch coming at you right after the break.
00:01:00And on the mound for Tampa Bay in this one, Ryan Pepeo.
00:01:04And for some reason, he's not quite as effective here in front of his home crowd, Chris.
00:01:09Yeah, Boog, and the fans are well aware of that.
00:01:11For him, he's got to just not press and go out there and say,
00:01:15hey, I'm just treating this like any start, home, on the road, it doesn't matter.
00:01:20My job is to focus on that catcher's mitt, attack hitters, and just try to move through a ballgame.
00:01:24So if he can find that kind of focus, it doesn't matter where he's pitching,
00:01:28because he has good enough stuff to go out there and win a ballgame.
00:01:31Didn't take long to get a result for that at bat.
00:01:34Nice job of driving that pitch the other way on a line.
00:01:37You know, hitters, they take so many reps in the cages, working on going to the opposite field.
00:01:41And if they run around the move, pitch misses inside.
00:01:45Safe at second, and that was not close.
00:01:49Well, he's batting leadoff, and he's acting like a traditional leadoff hitter.
00:01:52Gets on base to start the game, then puts himself on second with a nice stolen bag.
00:01:56I think that sets the tone for the offense, for sure.
00:02:02Runner in scoring position, nobody out.
00:02:05Here in the third and final game of the series.
00:02:07On the ground right side, Diaz takes it himself, one out in the top of the first.
00:02:15Here's the Giants lineup, and a key factor for this club in that leadoff spot, Willie Adamas.
00:02:21Yeah, definitely someone I always enjoy, you know, when I get a chance to watch him,
00:02:25whether he's hitting in the game or even taking swings during batting practice.
00:02:29Man, this guy's always so focused on what he's doing on that task at hand.
00:02:33He's got so much attention to detail that when he steps in the box, his success rate is really high.
00:02:39The 1-0.
00:02:41Definitely a swing and miss slider down and in.
00:02:43He finished that really well.
00:02:45Just couldn't get him to offer at it.
00:02:47Right through there for his strike.
00:02:49The Rays are looking very strong so far this season.
00:02:56Yeah, going back to their early performance move, that's the kind of thing that gets the fans fired up.
00:03:01And it gets the players fired up, too.
00:03:04That's a base hit from scores.
00:03:10Mission accomplished there as he picks up the RBI to give him the lead.
00:03:14I could watch base hits like that one all day long, and so could every hitting coach in the league.
00:03:19Just a nice line drive into center field.
00:03:22One gone runner at first.
00:03:24Harrison Bader getting ready to hit.
00:03:28In the dirt.
00:03:43There's a line drive to left field.
00:03:46Two way down.
00:04:04That's a ball.
00:04:05In the dirt.
00:04:06Blocked.
00:04:17In the dirt.
00:04:262-0.
00:04:28And it's fouled away.
00:04:34The rise.
00:04:35Off the first with two away.
00:04:37Outside with a breaking ball.
00:04:42And ball four to a board.
00:04:45Maybe a little loss of focus on the mound right there.
00:04:47Pretty much gifted in first base with a quick free pass.
00:04:53And digging in for San Francisco, Christian Toss.
00:04:57This might be the most pressure you put on this guy today.
00:04:59You got one run in.
00:05:01You got to try to get another one or maybe two.
00:05:06And that one ripped to left.
00:05:09And that'll do it.
00:05:13But the RBI single pushes across a run.
00:05:16It's now 1-0.
00:05:17Don't guess me.
00:05:18I've seen too many folks get evaporated.
00:05:20Fade away.
00:05:23Ready to go for the last half of the inning.
00:05:26And now here's the starter for San Francisco.
00:05:29Adrian Hauser.
00:05:30Chris, what should we keep an eye on here with him?
00:05:33Very dominant his last time out.
00:05:34Picked up the win.
00:05:35Only allowed one run.
00:05:37These guys would love to see him back on his game in this one.
00:05:40Stepping in, Yandy Diaz.
00:05:42Yandy Diaz.
00:05:48Hey.
00:06:09Swing and a miss.
00:06:10Struck him out.
00:06:11One out.
00:06:13Batting second.
00:06:14All right.
00:06:14Let's take a look at the Rays lineup.
00:06:17Someone who makes things happen for them.
00:06:19In part with his legs.
00:06:20Johnny DeLuca.
00:06:21Hey, Booth.
00:06:22You and I were talking about it before the game.
00:06:23He's got good speed.
00:06:24And if you watch him in this game, he's that type of guy that's very smart.
00:06:28He doesn't have this just eye-popping speed, but he knows how to use it.
00:06:32And he's very intelligent on the base pass to get to the next base, to get around the bases, and
00:06:37ultimately score runs.
00:06:42Foul ball.
00:06:500-2 now.
00:06:54Ball.
00:07:03On the ground, right side.
00:07:06Tosses to first.
00:07:08And the hold first moving along quickly today.
00:07:11Two gone.
00:07:12Here's some real power at the plate.
00:07:15Junior Caminero.
00:07:16Junior Caminero.
00:07:18Caminero went deep in his most recent game.
00:07:24Out towards right center field.
00:07:26Eldridge.
00:07:27On the move.
00:07:29Pulls it down, and he makes the catch.
00:07:33Nothing doing for the offense that time.
00:07:36We head to the second here at Tropicana Field.
00:07:39The Giants lead it 1-0.
00:07:41This is Rays baseball.
00:07:44All set for the start of the inning.
00:07:46Leading off, Tyler Fitzgerald.
00:07:48Tyler Fitzgerald.
00:07:49Well, I don't care if it's your debut or if you've been yo-yoing between AAA and the show.
00:07:54Anytime you get promoted to the majors, it's so important to stay focused and prove you belong.
00:08:00He's got that chance now after being called up.
00:08:04Hey!
00:08:06Pepio, 28 years old.
00:08:08And he was a third-round pick back in 2019.
00:08:12That one almost got him.
00:08:15Hey!
00:08:30Ah, that hit him.
00:08:31That got him.
00:08:32And the leadoff band is aboard to start the inning.
00:08:34And eight right fielder, Bryce Eldridge.
00:08:50That one ripped.
00:08:51And that should be extra bases.
00:08:53And it gets by him.
00:08:57Fitzgerald around third.
00:08:59And they lead by two.
00:09:02Picks himself up at RBI.
00:09:04I'll tell you, when you smoke a line drive into the gap like that, I mean, sure, home runs are
00:09:09king.
00:09:10But I feel like nothing makes you feel like a true professional hitter more than a bolt the other way.
00:09:17Swing and a ball lifted in the air.
00:09:19Shallow left field.
00:09:20Base hit!
00:09:28Up next for the Giants, shortstop, Willie Adamas.
00:09:31First and second.
00:09:32No outs.
00:09:33Willie Adamas.
00:09:34Now at the plate.
00:09:36That catch the corner.
00:09:38Hey!
00:09:46And a foul ball.
00:09:48Nobody on his team has been better at driving in runs this season, Siggy.
00:09:53Pitch kicks away.
00:09:58No movement on the bases.
00:10:00One and two the count.
00:10:08Gets a piece there.
00:10:09We'll do it again.
00:10:14Traffic on the bases with one already in.
00:10:17Here at the top of the second.
00:10:19Base hit into the outfield.
00:10:23And they're happy to play station to station right here.
00:10:26Bases loaded.
00:10:28Nobody out.
00:10:29Good two-strike hitting right there, Boog.
00:10:30A bit of a lost start for some.
00:10:32So that was nicely done to beat the odds.
00:10:34Now the base is loaded.
00:10:35Big opportunity for them to break this game open.
00:10:41Well, he's just given up three straight hits.
00:10:43And now behind in this count to this hitter.
00:10:46Might be a good time for somebody to call a timeout.
00:10:48Maybe the pitching coach go out there and talk to him just a little bit.
00:10:52What is that?
00:10:52Swing now would appeal to third.
00:10:54And he won a round.
00:10:55Just enough that time.
00:11:01And you need a strikeout.
00:11:03And you need a ball perhaps on the ground for a double play or get yourself a pop-up.
00:11:08And Devers hits that one.
00:11:10Can't get there.
00:11:11Should be extra bases.
00:11:13One runs in.
00:11:15Here comes the runner.
00:11:16Relay throw home.
00:11:17Safe.
00:11:18And the runner from second scores on the play.
00:11:21It's Orzin.
00:11:23Oh, a huge two-RBI swing of the bat right there.
00:11:26Pretty much a model swing on that one as he ripped it into the opposite field gap.
00:11:30And I'm sure he's going to be watching that one back on video because that's the kind of swing you
00:11:34want to bottle.
00:11:35So many positives that led to that knock.
00:11:39And the 0-1.
00:11:42Lays out.
00:11:43Oh, it's off his glove.
00:11:44In to score from third.
00:11:46No, he's safe.
00:11:46To first.
00:11:47And he beats it.
00:11:48Everyone's safe.
00:11:49A run comes in on the play.
00:11:51Not every base hit is a liner into the gap.
00:11:53Just like not every strikeout is a perfect slider down and away.
00:11:57I mean, right there, he just put the ball in play on the ground.
00:12:00And gave it his all to get down to first for the knock.
00:12:02And Bader, the next to hit, takes outside.
00:12:07Well, they've been able to score four runs off of him in this inning.
00:12:10And this is where you want to just max out.
00:12:13Get as much as you can.
00:12:14Give him one of those tough innings where it's going to be hard for him to recover in the next
00:12:17one.
00:12:21That one off the mark.
00:12:22Ball three.
00:12:25Devers on second.
00:12:27Arise on at first with nobody out.
00:12:30Swings through that one for strike two.
00:12:37And they're all loaded up.
00:12:39Well, interesting.
00:12:40He went with the off speed and walked the hitter.
00:12:43Man, you've got to challenge the guy with the fastball.
00:12:59Right through there for a strike.
00:13:00Well, this is a tough situation with the bases loaded.
00:13:03But the healthiest mindset is just try to get out one hitter at a time.
00:13:08Oh, and this one gets away.
00:13:13But no advance from the runners.
00:13:21There's a strike.
00:13:29There's a strike.
00:13:52Christian Toss, the next giant to hit.
00:13:55He's over one.
00:14:02Rutter at third, two away.
00:14:15Fights it off, you'll see another.
00:14:25Ground ball up the middle, that's a base hit.
00:14:28Runner in from third to extend their lead.
00:14:31It's an RBI single, and they're pulling away up by seven now.
00:14:36Comes through with the RBI.
00:14:37Really nice job staying up the middle with his approach.
00:14:40He didn't try to do too much with the pitch, just shot it through the infield.
00:14:47Ball in.
00:14:52Ball.
00:14:58On the ground, right side, Lux.
00:15:01Tosses to first, that'll end the inning after a lot of scoring.
00:15:06So in the end, ten come to the plate, six of them come around to score.
00:15:10We go to the bottom of inning number two.
00:15:13It's the Giants.
00:15:15Bottom of the inning, and stepping in for the Rays, Johnny DeLuca.
00:15:18Center fielder, Johnny DeLuca.
00:15:26This is one of those times when you want to be aggressive.
00:15:28Go ahead and pitch to contact.
00:15:30Let the defense work behind you.
00:15:31You've got a nice, comfortable lead.
00:15:33Don't try to be too fine.
00:15:37Fouled off left side.
00:15:45The 1-1.
00:15:49He swings and fouls one off.
00:15:57The 1-2.
00:16:00Oh, that got away from him.
00:16:02And he's going to reach on a hit-by-pitch to lead off the inning.
00:16:05Right fielder, Jake Fraley.
00:16:18All one there, Fraley, with a homer in his last game.
00:16:29The 1-0.
00:16:31That's the third.
00:16:33Koss.
00:16:33There's one.
00:16:35Over to first, but he beats it.
00:16:36That's what a good sinker is designed to do.
00:16:39Get a guy to roll over a little bit.
00:16:40Hit the ball on the ground.
00:16:41Kill some worms while you're at it.
00:16:43One out, man, at first.
00:16:45Gavin Lux will hit next.
00:16:55The key to his success is getting ahead early in the count.
00:16:59He cannot afford to go deep in the counts.
00:17:01Doesn't have a ton of swing and miss stuff, so he's going to have to work efficiently.
00:17:04Runner, runner, runner.
00:17:05Runner takes off.
00:17:06Picks it for a strike.
00:17:08Throw to second.
00:17:09Ow!
00:17:10Usually when you see a team try to steal a base in the early innings, it tells you they
00:17:14want to be aggressive on offense.
00:17:16Try to force the defense to make plays and slow them down.
00:17:18That's exactly what they did right there.
00:17:21So we'll see if that caught stealing changes the offensive approach moving forward.
00:17:26Two down, nobody on.
00:17:30And he hits a ground ball right side.
00:17:33He takes it himself to the bag, and that'll do it.
00:17:37Rays held in check here.
00:17:38They continue to trail.
00:17:407-0.
00:17:44Top half of the third inning, digging in, Bryce Eldridge.
00:17:47Bryce Eldridge.
00:18:00And he can't come up with it.
00:18:07Up next for the Giants, left fielder Will Brittney.
00:18:16And now Kevin Cash out of the dugout and ready to make a move to the bullpen.
00:18:21Ryan Pepeo will depart.
00:18:23We'll be back in a minute with a new arm on the mound.
00:18:35Left hander out of the bullpen, and Seymour.
00:18:38And he's had a struggle so far this year, as you can see the inflated ERA.
00:18:42Looking to bring that down a little bit right here.
00:18:53All these Giants really impressing me with the quality of their bats in this one.
00:18:57It's been fun getting a chance to see them go to work.
00:19:00Looking at the numbers, they've got four hits when they're behind in the count.
00:19:03That says they're absolutely battling at the plate and just not giving up, despite what the count says.
00:19:14Stays alive.
00:19:29Eldridge aboard here at first with nobody out.
00:19:33Hit on the ground to short.
00:19:35Walls.
00:19:36To second, there's one.
00:19:37Throw to first, safe.
00:19:41Well, an aggressive slide at second base, but it was legal.
00:19:44I like it because you're trying to break up the double play,
00:19:47and it looked like the slide impacted the throw a little bit.
00:19:50Nice job by the base runner.
00:19:53Adamas.
00:19:53Nope.
00:19:53In the box with one away as he takes ball one.
00:19:59And if you're a manager or a hitting coach,
00:20:02you love to see your guys really fighting for every at-bat, every pitch.
00:20:06It tells you a lot about how they showed up.
00:20:08Diaz.
00:20:09To second, there's one.
00:20:10Double play.
00:20:11What a clean killing day in the inning.
00:20:14No runs, one hit, no errors, and no one left.
00:20:17We head down to the home half of inning number three.
00:20:20It's the Giants seven, the Rays nothing.
00:20:23This is Rays baseball on the show, Florida.
00:20:29As we go to the last of the third, and now the catcher for the Rays, Hunter for Duccia.
00:20:38Well, don't expect too many more high fastballs.
00:20:41This is a good sinker ball pitcher, and sometimes they can make mistakes trying to pitch up in the zone.
00:20:45Look for him to stay down around the knees to be effective.
00:20:49There's a line drive to left field.
00:20:52What a way.
00:20:54Not fooled at all right there.
00:20:55He was clearly all over it, but sometimes you hit it too hard and right at someone.
00:21:00You're looking for one of those blue hits to get a knock sometimes.
00:21:17Here's your one.
00:21:21On the ground, Fitzgerald.
00:21:24And two straight set down to begin the bottom of the third.
00:21:27Good sinker low in the zone right there and produced exactly what he was looking for.
00:21:32Ball on the ground, nice ground out.
00:21:34Two outs, space is empty.
00:21:36Taylor Walls, the next to hit.
00:21:38It's been a tough stretch for him at the plate.
00:21:40Only two hits over the last five games.
00:21:43All right.
00:22:13Inside, almost got him.
00:22:23Two down, Dolbeni on.
00:22:27Foul ball, another 2-2 upcoming.
00:22:37Tapper back to the mound.
00:22:40In time to Devers.
00:22:42Three up, three down, inning over.
00:22:44It's the Giants' seven.
00:22:46The Rays nothing.
00:22:51Back here at Tropicana Field.
00:22:53Start of the fourth.
00:22:54Here's Rafael Devers.
00:22:56Rafael Devers.
00:22:59Just off the outside edge.
00:23:01Chris, he's been one of the most powerful hitters in baseball this year.
00:23:05His home run numbers are good enough to put him top five in the league.
00:23:15And that drops in for a strike.
00:23:17In today's game, not that many fastball counts, but hitters still in the back of their minds.
00:23:22They're looking for one.
00:23:24Two-0 changeup call right there.
00:23:26Excellent pitch selection to go with.
00:23:29Popped up foul territory behind the play.
00:23:33And that one is foul, so we'll try it again.
00:23:37Two-two now.
00:23:39Ground ball, left side.
00:23:42Whips it to first.
00:23:44And one gone in the fourth as they get the leadoff, man.
00:23:47Up next, for the Giants, the designated hitter, Luis, arrives.
00:23:58In the air, left field.
00:24:00And there's two away.
00:24:07Up next.
00:24:08Here's a clean-up hitter for the Giants, Harrison Bader.
00:24:12He's 0-4-1.
00:24:16Just missed.
00:24:21Two down, nobody on.
00:24:22Top half of inning number four.
00:24:25That's ball two.
00:24:33That just misses.
00:24:35And that's ball three.
00:24:41Inside corner for a strike.
00:24:50Foul ball there.
00:25:00Whacked out to center field.
00:25:02That's well-struck.
00:25:03Back there.
00:25:05Out of here.
00:25:09Harrison Bader hits one out.
00:25:11It's his sixth home run of the season.
00:25:14And they add a run.
00:25:15It's 8-0.
00:25:16He ran the count full and saved his best swing for last.
00:25:20That was a battle, and he won.
00:25:24Knew what pitch he wanted to hit.
00:25:26Spent on some other pitches in this.
00:25:28It bad, was very patient, and it paid off.
00:25:50That misses.
00:25:52That's down.
00:25:52Ball one.
00:26:18There's a swing and a drive.
00:26:21That one back there, and it slices foul, but it had the distance.
00:26:33No foul ball.
00:26:42Two down, nobody on.
00:26:44And that's in the dirt.
00:26:45And the count's full.
00:26:53Line drive, base hit.
00:26:55And that one's going to get into the corner.
00:27:01Relay to second, but he's in there easily.
00:27:06Showed a willingness to drive that pitch the opposite way.
00:27:09Didn't get jumpy.
00:27:10Didn't try to pull the ball.
00:27:11He let it get deep.
00:27:12Took the barrel right to it, and then extended through the swing for the line drive, base hit.
00:27:17Now, here is Christian Koss.
00:27:22Two outs, and one in scoring position.
00:27:27Now, one missed.
00:27:35And that gets the top of the zone for a strike.
00:27:44Recognize that changeup right out of the hand.
00:27:46Just spit on it.
00:27:53That's a base hit.
00:27:57And they hold him at third.
00:27:5990 feet away with two out.
00:28:01For the Giants.
00:28:02Second baseman, Tyler.
00:28:19That one hammered, but pulled foul.
00:28:25Lefty out of the stretch.
00:28:26Runners at first and third.
00:28:37Popped foul out of play off to the right.
00:28:45The one-two.
00:28:47And that's a strikeout looking.
00:28:49That ends the inning, and they limit the damage.
00:28:52It's a run for the Giants on the solo blast.
00:28:56For midway in the fourth, you're watching Tampa Bay Rays baseball on the show, Florida.
00:29:05Back now in Tampa Bay, Yandy Diaz.
00:29:09One of the best bats in the league this season, Siggy.
00:29:12Yeah, line drives, gap to gap.
00:29:14He's doing it all, Boog.
00:29:16And those extra base hits are just piling up.
00:29:18He rarely chases and doesn't miss the mistake pitches.
00:29:21Yeah, he's a professional hitter, plain and simple, and he's making pitchers pay.
00:29:28Right through there for a strike.
00:29:30Well, every pitcher wants a run support, and having a lead is nice, but it can be challenging for some
00:29:35pitchers.
00:29:35I think keeping the mindset to attack instead of trying to be too fine and have too much finesse,
00:29:41go after hitters and get quick outs.
00:29:57That one misses.
00:29:59Full count down.
00:30:06Goes down looking.
00:30:08Well, just couldn't pull the trigger on the fastball right there,
00:30:10and I don't think he was taking it, thinking it might be a cold ball or anything.
00:30:14I just think he was flat out frozen.
00:30:16Did not expect that location, in my opinion.
00:30:22He's been incredibly efficient in this one.
00:30:24First pitch strike percentage over 70%.
00:30:26That's well above league average,
00:30:28and that's what's allowed him to pitch well up until this point.
00:30:43The 0-2.
00:30:47That one lifted to left.
00:30:50Out.
00:30:51Number two.
00:30:53Up next, for the Rays, third baseman, Junior.
00:30:58Junior Caminero, getting ready to hit.
00:31:01Fly to right his first time.
00:31:09That one fouled off.
00:31:12And, Chris, his home run numbers this season are good enough to rank him in the top ten in the
00:31:17league.
00:31:18The 0-1.
00:31:21And a swing and a miss.
00:31:23You tie a guy up like that, you're feeling like you are in command.
00:31:33Ball, that's outside.
00:31:42And a foul ball.
00:31:44He stays alive.
00:31:49The Rays yet to pick up a hit here.
00:31:56And that's ruled a swing.
00:31:58It's a strikeout.
00:32:00Rays go in order.
00:32:01One, two, three.
00:32:02Still 8-0.
00:32:07Back here at Tropicana Field, their offense has produced a lot of hits so far, as we see from the
00:32:13spray chart.
00:32:14Yeah, when a team has this many knocks, a lot of the...
00:32:22Time, it gets clustered to one side or another.
00:32:25Not today.
00:32:26They're hitting it all over the field.
00:32:46Swing and a foul out of play.
00:32:50The 1-2.
00:32:53And they'll do it again.
00:33:02Another 1-2.
00:33:15Can't glove it cleanly.
00:33:18Still finds a way to get off a throw.
00:33:20Safe at first, as they can't make the play.
00:33:25Will Brennan, the next Giant to hit.
00:33:32Manager out of the dugout now.
00:33:34And it looks like we'll see a change on the mound.
00:33:48Ryan Baker gets handed the rock out of the pen.
00:33:51Hasn't pitched in the last three days.
00:34:07Makes the catch.
00:34:09One down.
00:34:12It's never fun going back to the dugout after hitting a line drive that finds a glove.
00:34:16But you will get some high fives.
00:34:18You know, when you make great contact, you feel like you've done everything right.
00:34:22But in this game of baseball, not everything is in your control.
00:34:25And that one is downstairs.
00:34:27And it's 1-0.
00:34:34Chopped back up the middle.
00:34:35Touches the back for one.
00:34:37What a double play that was.
00:34:39Inning over.
00:34:40No runs, one hit, no errors.
00:34:42And no one left.
00:34:43Home half of the fifth coming up.
00:34:45It's the Giants' 8, the Rays' nothing.
00:34:48This is Rays Baseball on the show, Florida.
00:34:55We head to the bottom of the fifth and stepping in for the Rays, Johnny DeLuca.
00:35:01Johnny DeLuca.
00:35:05Well, these Rays, just lacking discipline at the plate in this ballgame.
00:35:09They've been chasing pitches outside the zone all game, and it's led to some frustrating moments.
00:35:13They've been fooled quite a bit today.
00:35:30Chase is in the dirt.
00:35:31Slider there.
00:35:33Got him.
00:35:34One away on the strikeout.
00:35:36Oh, there's the three-pitch strikeout.
00:35:38He can do whatever he wants with the baseball right now.
00:35:40Right fielder, Jake Raley.
00:35:58And obviously, a lot of credit for all those chases and strikeouts goes to the pitching.
00:36:03It's been nasty, but you can bet this offense is trying to figure out some way to put up a
00:36:07better fight.
00:36:10That one ripped right center field.
00:36:13That's back there.
00:36:14And that ball is out of here.
00:36:18Jake Raley launches wide.
00:36:21That's his 50th career homer.
00:36:24And they're on the scoreboard.
00:36:26It's 8-1.
00:36:28Singy, that's his 50th career homer.
00:36:3050 might not sound like a huge number, but it's a nice little milestone that a lot of guys don't
00:36:35get to.
00:36:35A good hitter gets pitch recognition early.
00:36:38He saw exactly where that was going to be.
00:36:40The challenge, not get over-anxious and come out of your swing.
00:36:44He stayed on it and got all of it.
00:36:46Lux, the next to hit, takes ball one.
00:36:58Swing and a ground ball off the middle.
00:36:59That's a base hit.
00:37:01So they get a man aboard with a one-out single.
00:37:07Just kept it simple.
00:37:08Played Pepper with the middle of the infield and took it back where it came from.
00:37:12And there's just no one there to knock it down.
00:37:22Ball, that's it.
00:37:23Boog, the runner at first needs to be careful right here.
00:37:25He's dealing with a pick-off artist on the mound.
00:37:30Now this is a rocket to left.
00:37:33And there's two down.
00:37:38Up next for the Rays, left fielder Chandler Simpson.
00:37:44Now the left fielder Chandler Simpson.
00:37:47Over one so far.
00:37:52Chris, he's currently the team leader in stolen bases.
00:37:56The Rays with a lot of ground to make up.
00:37:59Last half of inning, number five.
00:38:05And makes the play, and that's out number three.
00:38:09And the Rays get one on a solo shot.
00:38:12Still a lopsided affair at 8-1 now.
00:38:22Welcome back as we look at the highlights from today's game so far.
00:38:55Raphael Devers.
00:38:56Raphael Devers.
00:38:56Digs in now.
00:38:58First baseman, Raphael Devers.
00:39:05That one finds the zone.
00:39:08Strike one.
00:39:09Yeah, and here's a fun stat on Devers.
00:39:11He's at his best when he's hitting homers and doubles.
00:39:13And by the time he was 26 years old,
00:39:16Devers already had over 150 home runs and more than 200 doubles.
00:39:21He's just the 15th player in baseball history
00:39:23with those kinds of numbers at that age.
00:39:30Oh, can't pick it up cleanly.
00:39:34Safe at first.
00:39:35No play.
00:39:36We'll see how they score this.
00:39:38Lead off man aboard on the air,
00:39:40and that puts your pitcher in a little bit of a tough spot right away to start the inning,
00:39:45not where you want to be.
00:39:46So we'll see if he's able to work around it and pick the defense up.
00:39:55The Giants up big in this one, and we're in the top half of the sixth.
00:39:59Ball one.
00:40:09He was a little out front,
00:40:10but did a good job keeping the hands back long enough to foul that pitch off.
00:40:15Fouls it off.
00:40:16Still one and two.
00:40:26Fair ball.
00:40:32Lead runner to second.
00:40:34So two on and nobody out.
00:40:36You know, I was watching his rounds during batting practice today.
00:40:39So impressed with his ability to let the ball travel, go back up the middle and the other way.
00:40:44Sometimes when you step in the box during the game, you get a little anxious and you get away from
00:40:48that.
00:40:48But so far, I've seen him stay consistent with his pregame preparation.
00:40:52Baker over to second.
00:40:53A sensational double play.
00:40:55Oh, man, what a smooth double play.
00:40:58That was a thing of beauty from start to finish.
00:41:02Patrick Bailey will hit next.
00:41:05Take it high in the draft.
00:41:06He's had that top prospect labeled over him since he put on a professional uniform.
00:41:10But at some point, that starts to go away, and you've got to produce at the big league level.
00:41:19Fastball right back to the mound.
00:41:22Throws to first, and that is that.
00:41:25One left for San Francisco, and it remains an 8-1 game.
00:41:32Bottom of the six, and stepping in for the Rays, Taylor Walsh.
00:41:36Good job, Taylor Walsh.
00:41:44Ow!
00:41:56Swing, and a ball popped in the air.
00:41:58That one gets down for a hit.
00:42:00Man aboard on the leadoff single.
00:42:05Up next for the Rays, first baseman, Yandy Diaz.
00:42:12And the first pitch misses for ball one.
00:42:26Bader quickly throws it in, and it's now first and second to start the inning.
00:42:30He made that look easy, keeping his bat in the zone on playing for a long time.
00:42:35That leads to a high contact rate and more barrels, boo.
00:42:39Even when you don't get it great, it's still hit hard enough to dunk something in like that
00:42:44in front of the center fielder.
00:42:45Aranda in the box now.
00:42:47Take strike one.
00:42:53Off the plate, ball one.
00:43:02Line drive.
00:43:04Makes the catch one down.
00:43:06That swing right there tells me he's seeing the ball pretty well.
00:43:09I know it didn't produce a hit, but he made solid contact,
00:43:12and that's all you're looking to do any time you're at the plate.
00:43:36Swaying at a ball popped up.
00:43:38Infield fly call there.
00:43:40Batters out.
00:43:45Up next for the Rays.
00:43:47And here's a look at how he's using his pitches in this one.
00:43:50Johnny DeLuca.
00:43:54Two aboard, two outs.
00:43:55Here's the center fielder, Johnny DeLuca.
00:44:04That's a ball.
00:44:12Hey!
00:44:22It's a one-to-one.
00:44:24High fly ball, right field.
00:44:27Eldridge settles underneath it, and that ends the inning.
00:44:31So the Rays strand a pair.
00:44:33It's still an eight one-ball game.
00:44:39This one isn't exactly close, Chris.
00:44:42Let's go off script for a moment.
00:44:43I'm game.
00:44:44Were we on script?
00:44:45Never.
00:44:45Singy, you grew up in the Bay Area.
00:44:47Did you have a favorite player as a kid?
00:44:49Yeah, I love the A's lineup.
00:44:51I mean, guys like Ricky Henderson, Dave Kingman, Terry Steinbeck.
00:44:56I mean, you just go on and on.
00:44:59Tony Armas, just some tremendous rosters back then.
00:45:02And I loved as a kid getting on the Bark train, the Bay Area Rapid Transit,
00:45:07pulling up right there to the stadium, and then going in and watching the game.
00:45:11On the ground to the left, and it's through for a hit.
00:45:14And out to a board.
00:45:20Up next for the Giants, Bryce Eldridge, the next Giant to hit.
00:45:27Ball one.
00:45:28You also had the pleasure of going over and hitting and taking batting practice at a big leaguer's house.
00:45:35Who was that?
00:45:36Yeah, Willie McGee, one of the greatest of all time, in my opinion.
00:45:39He lived in your neighborhood.
00:45:41Yeah, his folks live right down the street from me, and that's where his batting cage was.
00:45:45I used to look out of my backyard down the hill and just dream of one day maybe being able
00:45:50to go over and hit with him.
00:45:51And that dream became a reality when I was drafted by the San Francisco Giants.
00:45:56What a stop!
00:46:02Well, an error like that, you look at the scoreboard, and you kind of wonder if they are losing focus
00:46:07out there.
00:46:07And look, it can be tough to stay locked in when you're getting blown out.
00:46:11We've all been there.
00:46:12And I'm not saying that's definitely what happened on this play, but it's not a great look.
00:46:18That's it for a strike.
00:46:27So now it's all about protect mode.
00:46:29Try to shorten up.
00:46:30Try to track the ball.
00:46:32Block it if you have to as far as just a late swing.
00:46:35On the ground to third.
00:46:36Base hit.
00:46:37One run is in.
00:46:39Another comes in to score.
00:46:41It's 10-1.
00:46:44Up next for the Giants.
00:46:46First and second, and nobody out.
00:46:49Willie Adamas.
00:46:49Willie Adamas stands in.
00:46:52That one finds the zone.
00:46:55Strike one.
00:47:02Swing and a miss at a slider.
00:47:05Well, the hitter shows the pitcher that he's willing to go after that pitch down in the zone.
00:47:10So, perhaps he'll come back to it.
00:47:12Still try to get that ground ball double play.
00:47:16Runners at first and second.
00:47:17And still nobody out.
00:47:19Here in the top half of inning number seven.
00:47:22That ball's carrying.
00:47:25And wow!
00:47:26That one is way out of here.
00:47:29So, he goes yard to left.
00:47:31Home run number 10 of the year.
00:47:34And they add on.
00:47:35It's 13-1.
00:47:43A slider right down the middle of the plate.
00:47:46It's like slow motion for a hitter.
00:47:48You're just licking your chops, waiting for it to arrive.
00:47:51And you want to hit it a long way.
00:47:53And he did.
00:48:04Hey!
00:48:05Hey!
00:48:05Hey!
00:48:10The real threats are coming up.
00:48:13Already giving up a home run in this inning.
00:48:15It's going to really have to bear down.
00:48:19High fly ball down the left field line.
00:48:22That's back there.
00:48:25Going gone!
00:48:28They do it again.
00:48:30Back-to-back homers.
00:48:32And they add to their lead.
00:48:34That's their third home run of the game.
00:48:37They're having a lot of fun at the plate in this one.
00:48:39They've got the long ball working for them on autopilot.
00:48:44Back-to-back homers.
00:48:46Always a special feeling at the ballpark.
00:48:48Especially if it's your team that does it.
00:48:50And those guys get to slap hands at home plate.
00:48:53This is the kind of thing that can really fire up a ball club.
00:48:56Luisa Rice stands in.
00:49:01And there's a foul ball.
00:49:11Comes up empty.
00:49:18Up the middle.
00:49:20Lux.
00:49:21Slings the first.
00:49:22Finally gets the first out here on the grounder.
00:49:25Up next for the giant cinder fielder, Harrison Bader.
00:49:36Outside low.
00:49:38Ball one.
00:49:43Next offering is foul back.
00:49:491-1 down.
00:49:52No.
00:50:00On the ground to third.
00:50:03Over to Diaz.
00:50:04Bader is out.
00:50:05Good late bite on that slider.
00:50:07Got the hitter out in front.
00:50:08Rolled over on it.
00:50:09Exactly what he was supposed to do.
00:50:12Two down.
00:50:13Base is empty.
00:50:14The switch hitting catcher will come up to hit.
00:50:17Patrick Bailey.
00:50:19Pitch misses there.
00:50:21And that's ball one.
00:50:28Ball two.
00:50:34That one is upstairs.
00:50:41That one is inside and it's ball four.
00:50:45Second walk of the game for him.
00:50:46And he's been really patient at the play.
00:50:48A game plan that he's sticking to.
00:50:50He's just not going.
00:50:57Outside of what he's looking for up there.
00:51:03That's in for a strike.
00:51:05Probably the best one we have seen.
00:51:07Throwing it where he wanted to.
00:51:08Have a nice tight spin to it.
00:51:10And a teaser.
00:51:12Just off the edge of the plate.
00:51:15Here's the 0-2.
00:51:18Line drive.
00:51:19Base hit.
00:51:21They stopped the lead runner at second.
00:51:24Now two on with two outs.
00:51:26For the Giants.
00:51:27Second baseman.
00:51:28And up next for the Giants.
00:51:29Tyler Fitzgerald.
00:51:35Popped up.
00:51:36Bad territory behind the plate.
00:51:40And that is that.
00:51:44But two round trippers in this inning.
00:51:47The long ball was working.
00:51:49Seventh inning stretch time.
00:51:51You're watching Tampa Bay Rays baseball on the show Florida.
00:52:00Bottom of the seven.
00:52:01And stepping in for the Rays.
00:52:03Jake Fraley.
00:52:17Meanwhile, activity in the bullpen.
00:52:20Sam Hentges.
00:52:21The left-hander is getting that big fastball of his ready to go.
00:52:24Number 88.
00:52:25Also getting ready.
00:52:27Into the outfield.
00:52:28Base hit.
00:52:29And the lead off man aboard.
00:52:35Here comes the manager out of the dugout.
00:52:37And he'll make a move for the bullpen.
00:52:39Adrian Hauser.
00:52:40Out of the game.
00:52:41And he exits with a nice lead.
00:52:43Threw the ball well.
00:52:44And we'll have a new pitcher when we come back.
00:52:53Now pitching for Stan.
00:52:55So the Giants with a new pitcher on the hill.
00:52:57Sam Hentges.
00:52:58On for his 20th appearance of the year.
00:53:16Oh, this to center field.
00:53:20It gets down a base in.
00:53:23Throwback in quickly.
00:53:25First and second.
00:53:25Now with nobody out.
00:53:27Up next.
00:53:28For the Rays.
00:53:29So digging in Hunter-Fraduccia.
00:53:36that one misses and that's ball one
00:53:48this one in the air center field
00:53:51Bader moving under it
00:53:54brings it in
00:53:56runner tags it second
00:54:01up next for the race left fielder
00:54:06Jandler Simpson
00:54:17always tough to turn two on a speedster like this
00:54:19it's even harder with him coming out of the left-handed batter's box
00:54:22you really need something to hit hard on the ground
00:54:24that they can handle to turn two quickly
00:54:26two on one out
00:54:28nope that's inside
00:54:40hard liner
00:54:43Bader takes it in for the out
00:54:45two down
00:54:48up next for the Rays shortstop Taylor Walls
00:54:53Taylor Walls next to him for the Rays
00:54:56one for two
00:55:05not what he's looking for there in the 0-0 count looks like he wants the ball down in his
00:55:09home
00:55:15two on two outs
00:55:16ground ball and that's through the infield coming home fires it to the plate
00:55:22tag not in time he's safe and it's 14-2
00:55:36ball one no strikes
00:55:41first and second two down here the bottom of the seven
00:55:59this one in the air right field and it stays fair
00:56:03looks around third
00:56:05runner from second crosses the plate
00:56:29two away next is the designated hitter Jonathan Aranda 0-3 in this one
00:57:03going to down comes up and
00:57:06as he chases that one in the dirt in time the 2-3 strikeout ends the
00:57:11inning
00:57:14so it's two runs on four hits no errors and a couple left on eighth inning
00:57:20coming up the Giants on top here 14 we're back and on the mound is the closer
00:57:29Griffin Jacks and with the big deficit on the scoreboard he almost has to just put
00:57:35that out of his mind every outing matters for relievers in their numbers
00:57:39but I think it's tough to get up for this type of appearance the same way you
00:57:43would for one in a close game
00:57:50fall off foul
00:58:02runs it up to 96 to record the punch out well executed pitch on the outside part of
00:58:08the plate up next and up next for San Francisco Will Brennan
00:58:17lifted in the air left field pretty well struck takes it in for the out
00:58:23up next for the Giants shortstop Willie Adamas
00:58:34ball that's up there
00:58:43jacks 31 years old and they went out made a trade for him last season
00:58:50swings through the sweeper
00:58:56and a swing and a miss and that is that the Giants on top 14 to 3
00:59:06back now new pitcher on the mound as we roll into the bottom of the eighth Ryan Barucki
00:59:10well he's been a really tough guy to take deep this season you usually have to string some hits
00:59:16together in order to get to him 3-4-5 due up for the home team Junior Caminero getting ready
00:59:23to hit
00:59:24that's down and in a slider missed
00:59:32looking bad right here he did the team thing took until he got a strike now he's got to go
00:59:38to work
00:59:38shorten up that swing a little bit do whatever it takes to get on base
00:59:44way out front for strike two
00:59:46clearly he was sitting on a fastball right there
00:59:48it just ended up out in front of the slider
00:59:50hey you can't fault him for his commitment
00:59:52now he's just gonna have to battle two strikes
00:59:54this one in the air
00:59:56Adamas
00:59:59and there's one down
01:00:02that was a good pitch to hit right down the heart of the plate
01:00:04had pretty good timing on it
01:00:06just got underneath it a little bit and popped it up
01:00:08Johnny DeLuca
01:00:19clips the corner
01:00:21that strike one
01:00:22double barreled action in the bullpen

01:00:56spoils the two strike pitch and he'll see another
01:01:05the one two

01:01:25and there's two away

01:03:04up next
01:03:05so up next
01:03:06Harrison Bader
01:03:07he's already homered in this game
01:03:09you know what's interesting Boogies
01:03:15games like this can be a little
01:03:16wonky foreclosers to come in
01:03:19and they don't have the adrenaline going
01:03:21it's not a safe situation
01:03:23it's not even a you know
01:03:24close ball game that they're finishing
01:03:26but it's just getting some work
01:03:27to manufacture that
01:03:29good use of wonky there
01:03:32one on nobody out
01:03:33a run in
01:03:34here at the top of the ninth
01:03:36got him
01:03:37swinging for the kill
01:03:38and a strikeout for the first out
01:03:40here in the ninth
01:03:44up next
01:03:45for the Giants
01:03:46catcher Patrick Bailey
01:03:50that one pushed foul out of play
01:03:52off to the left
01:03:59and a strike on the outside edge
01:04:07foul off the plate
01:04:09they'll do it again
01:04:10it's a tough pitch
01:04:11but in terms of
01:04:13the best pitch
01:04:14you're going to get to hit
01:04:15in the at bat
01:04:16that fastball
01:04:17was down enough
01:04:18where
01:04:19you're going to catch up to one
01:04:20that's the one
01:04:21when he elevates
01:04:22guys aren't touching
01:04:27keeps the at bat going
01:04:28with a foul ball
01:04:35strike three
01:04:36and that's two in a row
01:04:38toughest pitch to hit
01:04:39fastball on the outer black
01:04:41man sometimes you just got to tip your cap
01:04:44here's the third baseman
01:04:45Christian Kos
01:04:50close but called a ball
01:04:52and it's one and oh
01:04:54the rise
01:04:55off of first
01:04:56with two away
01:05:06late that time
01:05:07and it's strike two
01:05:08when you throw a fastball
01:05:10by a guy like that
01:05:11I imagine it's got to feel
01:05:12incredible
01:05:13look for him to throw it again
01:05:14at some point
01:05:17and that's the inning
01:05:21one run a pair of hits
01:05:22no errors

01:06:02just off the corner
01:06:03where you can't really do much damage
01:06:04but it's close enough
01:06:06to where you've got to protect
01:06:07and he just couldn't find a way
01:06:08to fight it off
01:06:19one down
