00:01On the hill today for the Giants will be Adrian Houser against this Nationals team.
00:07He's always pitched well against them.
00:09He doesn't have a win to show for his efforts.
00:10With a career homer and two walks off Adrian Houser.
00:14And Weiss is one.
00:15Out to left.
00:16Got a 3-2 sinker.
00:18Crushed it for a leadoff single.
00:20And that is now the fourth time in five games on this road trip that he's been aboard to lead
00:23off the game.
00:24Down at first for Luis Garcia Jr.
00:26Another nice night for him last night.
00:27Two for four.
00:28Breaking ball hammered out to right.
00:30This ball is way out of here.
00:33Luis Garcia Jr. a two-run shot.
00:35And for the second time on this road trip, Wood reaches Louie Homers.
00:40And it's 2-0.
00:41Two batters in.
00:42And a quick start again for the Nats.
00:45The highest scoring first inning team in Major League Baseball.
00:48The highest scoring team in baseball, period.
00:51Here's Jose Tena.
00:52And he throws the four-seamer and blows it right by him as swinging strike three.
00:56Curve ball hit the toe of Dalen Lyle.
00:58So the top of the first extends.
01:00Lyle board with two down.
01:01Here's Jorby Bebas.
01:02Hits a drive into left center field.
01:05Back and to his left.
01:06Back near the warning track.
01:07And Schmidt makes the catch.
01:09That one just kept on sailing as if the wind was pushing it.
01:122-0 Nationals.
01:14As we go to the last of the first.
01:15Early lead for Andrew Alvarez.
01:17Two runs in the top of the first.
01:19Andrew Alvarez.
01:206'3".
01:21215 pounds.
01:22Making his second start.
01:23Seventh appearance of the year.
01:24And that one is in there.
01:25Strike three called.
01:26A backdoor curveball over the outside corner.
01:28Alvarez, for a guy who doesn't light up the radar gun, is averaging better than a strikeout per inning.
01:32And waves at another slider.
01:34Back-to-back K's for Alvarez.
01:36Great way to start right here for Andrew Alvarez.
01:39Attack the strike zone.
01:40Throwing strikes, quality strikes.
01:41Forcing the chase.
01:42I mean, they're on their heels right now.
01:44Luis Arise might make it tough to strike out the side.
01:46Although he did strike out last night.
01:48Finds this one into center field.
01:51And it's past the diving young.
01:53And Arise is off to the races.
01:55He hits second base.
01:57And what is Pettis going to do?
01:59He's going to hold him up at third.
02:01Had a shot there for a while.
02:02Yeah, I was thinking about it.
02:03Comes in on it.
02:04I think it knuckled on him.
02:05I did.
02:06With a ball knuckles, it's just like a knuckleball.
02:08There's no spin on it.
02:09And it can go left, right, only at a higher velocity.
02:11It's a very difficult play.
02:13So Arise at third.
02:14And here is Willie Adamas.
02:16Swing and a miss.
02:17He struck him out with a curveball.
02:19Alvarez a little fired up about it.
02:21Makes a big pitch to strike out the Giants' cleanup batter.
02:23He pitches around the Arise triple.
02:26Asim Nunez is the number seven batter.
02:28Nunez out to right center.
02:30Chasing after a Jung-Hoo Lee.
02:31He's going to have to play it on a bounce.
02:33Asim Nunez will cruise into second.
02:35Giants may be a little lucky that didn't scoot by Lee.
02:38Asim Nunez was thinking about three.
02:40And Matt Forkschulte loves the celebration.
02:43Leadoff man in scoring position here at top two.
02:45And here is Millis.
02:46Swing and a miss.
02:47He struck him out with a backdoor slider.
02:49Second strikeout for Hauser.
02:51Now the pitch to Jung.
02:52Nunez breaks for third.
02:53Pitches a ball.
02:54The throw is high.
02:55The tag is too late.
02:56So Nunez couldn't get to third with Millis striking out.
02:59So he gets there himself.
03:00And that's his 24th stolen base.
03:02Jung, having used his timeout, steps back into the box.
03:05Got him.
03:06Well, two strikeout situations, he's come through.
03:09It's a big out.
03:10But now, the big power hitter, James Wood.
03:14Strike three, call in the outside corner.
03:16Wow.
03:16He fell behind him 3-0 just when you were thinking he was pitching around him.
03:20He comes back and strikes him out.
03:22So with a one out, here's Bryce Eldridge to DH.
03:24Fair ball right over the bag.
03:26Ball dies as it hits the bottom of the side wall.
03:29And Eldridge has got another double.
03:31So Alvarez loses Chapman, five-pitch walk, breaking ball way too high.
03:36Susick fired up, motioning to his own dugout, let's go.
03:39He drew a ten-pitch walk there to load the bases.
03:42The Giants have the bases loaded, and the rookie, Jonah Cox, at the plate.
03:46One of the real big at-bats that he's had since getting to the big leagues.
03:50Got him with the fastball.
03:51Fourth strikeout tonight for Alvarez, and a big one.
03:54Top of the order now, Casey Schmidt.
03:56Snees with the heater and gets a pop-up on the infield.
03:59Abrams sprints in, he'll take charge.
04:02And Andrew Alvarez leaves him loaded in the second.
04:04Got into a jam, walked a couple batters, got a big strikeout, and a pop-up.
04:09That's the third walk drawn by the Giants.
04:11Two-out base runner with Jung-Hoo Lee coming up.
04:13Riding a 16-game hitting streak in which he's batting 5-0-8.
04:17And he hits one into right field base hit.
04:20That's 17 games in a row.
04:21Adamas speeds around second.
04:23He'll dig for third.
04:25Adamas is safe easily.
04:26Another hit for Jung-Hoo Lee.
04:2817 games in a row for him.
04:31It gives Eldridge a chance here.
04:33Eldridge had a double his first time up.
04:36Bryce Eldridge swings first pitch, and Nassim Nunez in the hole.
04:39Tackle it.
04:40Located perfectly.
04:41Tackle.
04:42Got behind it.
04:43Threw out Eldridge.
04:44And kept the score 2-0.
04:45Alvarez normally very good with command.
04:47He's now walked fourth, including Chapman, twice.
04:50The Giants have a leadoff base runner on.
04:52Now Susak, the catcher.
04:54Ground ball left side.
04:55Chance for two.
04:56Bebas to second.
04:57On to first to double play.
04:59Nassim is glad that we are not in the old rules.
05:03Matt Chapman got there at second base, and he was kind of just crushing.
05:08Two out, nobody on, and the batter now will be Jonah Cox, the center fielder.
05:11Drives this one to right.
05:13Wood is going to have to watch this one and watch the kid run.
05:17Here he goes, and he will make it.
05:20And you know what he's saying, right?
05:22Why couldn't I do that when the base is loaded?
05:24Now Schmidt, Giants trying to get on the board here.
05:26First pitch, line drive, caught by C.J. Abrams, and just like that, again, Andrew Alvarez is
05:32out of the inning.
05:33And another runner stranded in scoring position by the Giants.
05:36The one out here is Jacob Young.
05:38Got on top of a fastball and sent it out to right center.
05:41Jung-Hoo Lee giving chase.
05:43It's out into triples alley.
05:45Cox plays it off the wall, and Jacob Young easily into third.
05:49Three triples overall tonight.
05:51Two for the Giants, and now one for the Nats.
05:53That'll be the end of the outing for Adrian Hauser.
05:55Had retired ten in a row prior to that triple, and a chance for the Nats to pad their lead
06:00here
06:00in the fifth.
06:01Lefty-lefty matchup coming.
06:02It's one of their two lefties, Sam Hentges.
06:04He's fallen behind James Wood, 2-0.
06:06Wood, a ground ball left side.
06:07That'll get through a drawn-in infield.
06:09Ground ball with the eyes for Wood.
06:11Gives him his 41st RBI of the season, and gives the Nats a 3-0 lead.
06:16He's found barrels all season long, and a little squibber there for the Nats' third run of the night.
06:22Five walks surrendered now by Andrew Alvarez.
06:24Luckily, none have hurt so far, but I do think, like, at some point, you're playing with fire.
06:29You do, every time.
06:30Rise has tripled, and he's rolled out to third.
06:33Ground ball, diving in first and off the glove of Garcia in the shallow right field.
06:38Devers around second, digging for third.
06:40He slides safely ahead of the throw.
06:42I almost feel like Louie would say that right away.
06:45Should have had him.
06:45Tough ends for Andrew Alvarez, who departs with two on and nobody out in the fifth.
06:50It's Brad Lord, and he's going to try to settle his inning down for the Nationals with Willie Adamas coming
06:55up,
06:56and the Giants have runners at the corners.
06:58Lord's 3-2.
07:00In there with strike three.
07:02Adamas arguing with Jen Powell, but then heads back to the dugout.
07:05He's all over the plate.
07:07Big first out.
07:08Well, you got your two hottest hitters coming up, so let's see what happens.
07:12Lee is one for two.
07:13Fair ball down the right field line.
07:16Lee does it again, and the ball sticks.
07:18Two runs are going to score, and Lee has got a double.
07:22Boy, he shot that one right past Garcia.
07:26Oh, and that pace hit is therapeutic.
07:28He can listen to the roar of the crowd, and they are in love with this guy, and what's not
07:32to love?
07:33Second walk in the inning.
07:35Sixth of the night drawn by the Giants.
07:37What's 2-1 with 2-out for Matt Chapman?
07:39Lou Tapper.
07:40It's going to be a tough play.
07:43Everybody's safe.
07:44Stay hot.
07:45Matt Chapman with your magic one-do.
07:47Two-sack, remember, he loves that first pitch.
07:50Lost it back, back a second.
07:52Nunez is there, and a big second out.
07:54Bases loaded, two down.
07:56And now a pinch hitter for the Giants.
07:57It'll be Drew Gilbert to bat for Jonah Cox.
08:00Swing and a ground ball up the middle, hits the mound, skips to Abrams behind the second base bag.
08:03He'll throw on to first in time for the out.
08:05So Brad Lord teeters, but keeps the lead intact.
08:08Jacob Young leads off against J.T. Brubaker.
08:11Well, they've got to find a way.
08:12I feel like as we get in these later innings, you've got to get more.
08:15Young right side, and that's through.
08:18That's a good start.
08:19Two hits on the night for Jacob Young, and he's aboard.
08:21Here's the second lefty out of the Giants' bullpen.
08:24We saw Sam Hentges, and now here's Eric Miller to face James Wood with a man on and nobody out.
08:29As Wood laces went out to left center.
08:31Young will think about going first to third.
08:33He'll be content with 90 feet.
08:36First and second for the Nats with nobody out, top seven.
08:39Patient at bat off the bench for Chaparro.
08:42Two singles and a walk have loaded the bases.
08:44And here's Dylan Cruz to pinch hit for Jose Tenna.
08:47That one gets away from Susak.
08:49Young comes to the plate.
08:50Ahead of the tag, and he's safe.
08:52A barrel roll across home plate for Jacob Young.
08:55Everybody moves up 90 feet, and that has double their lead.
08:58The bases will be loaded again.
09:00His back-to-back pinch hitters walk.
09:02They're going to get a righty up in the bullpen, Dylan Smith.
09:04They'll call the infield fly rule, and a rise makes a catch.
09:08That's a huge first out.
09:10Still got to get two more, but nice job by Smith.
09:13I think the Giants' managers just run out of patience with the walks.
09:16Misses up, and another run will come in.
09:19Wood will tap home, and it's 5-2 Washington.
09:22Curtis Meade bats with the bases loaded now.
09:25Chapman's got it.
09:26So a nice comeback from a 3-1 count, and they get the out.
09:29Here's Nassim Nunez.
09:31Nunez strikes out swinging.
09:33A slider got him.
09:34Well, through all of that, the Nationals get two.
09:37They aren't out of this game.
09:38It's 5-2 Nats, seventh-inning stretch time.
09:41And he takes another walk.
09:43And that's a great at-back down three runs.
09:45There's Matt Chapman, walked twice.
09:47Infield dribbler for a hit in the fifth inning.
09:50Chopper slowly hit.
09:52Abrams is going to kick it.
09:54Giants had a shot.
09:55The tying run's coming up.
09:57Trying to keep the glove down, but it kind of threw him off balance, and it's off his glove.
10:02Tying run to home plate.
10:03It's Daniel Susak.
10:05Eldridge at second, Chapman at first.
10:06The pitch is lined into left field.
10:08Base in.
10:09Eldridge is going to get the stop sign.
10:11You're down three, and you just can't take a chance.
10:15Ball was hit pretty hard out to Lyle, who got to it quickly.
10:19So that was the right decision by Gary Pettis.
10:21Bases loaded with two down.
10:24What a chance for the Giants.
10:25They're down 5-2.
10:26This is the exact spot that Tony Vitello told us he thought he would use Buddy Kennedy.
10:30Out to center.
10:32Jacob Young is there.
10:35And Richard Lovelady leaves him loaded in the seven.
10:38Bend and snap, Dan.
10:39Bend and snap.
10:40Lovelady gets a ton.
10:41Rare 0-4 so far for Abrams, looking to check in here in the ninth.
10:45Ground ball left side.
10:47Can he earn it with his legs?
10:49Burrell gets away from Devers.
10:51Abrams in the second.
10:52We'll see how they score.
10:53It could very easily be an infield hit and a throwing error to Chapman.
10:57The error all the way.
10:58No hit.
10:59Ooh.
10:59Regardless, Abrams stands on second as a potential insurance run with two outs.
11:04Dale Lyle drives one out to deep right center.
11:06Lee sprinting after it.
11:08Way back there and off the wall.
11:10Lee has to play it on a hop as Lyle sprints to third.
11:14In with the slide.
11:15An insurance run in the ninth inning.
11:18Dale Lyle gets his second triple of the year, and the Nats have a four-run lead.
11:22The Nationals are one out away from their ninth series win on the road this season.
11:27Here's the DH, Bryce Eldridge.
11:29High drive to center.
11:31Is the park going to hold it?
11:33It is out of here.
11:36Well, the folks that hung around got a chance to see what they may be seeing a lot for a
11:41long time.
11:41Well, a double, a home run, two walks.
11:43Been on base four times.
11:45A two-for-three night.
11:46Hattman's been on base four times.
11:48Swing a fly ball.
11:49Shallow center.
11:50Nunez, the second baseman, is out.
11:52He's calling off Jacob Young.
11:53Nunez waits.
11:54He makes the catch.
11:55And the Nationals win it 6-3.
11:57It's another road series win for the Nationals,
12:00as they've won the first two games here against the Giants.
