00:00:19From inside Tropicana Field here in Tampa Bay, the show has an AL East matchup.
00:00:25It's the Baltimore Orioles taking on the Tampa Bay Rays.
00:00:32And we'll be back for the first pitch right after this.
00:00:39And starting on the mound for the Rays, Shane McClanahan.
00:00:42And Singy, it's unique these days, but he's more of a pitch to contact type of guy.
00:00:48Yeah, Boogie doesn't rely too heavily on the strikeout.
00:00:51He knows he needs to miss barrels, get some soft contact, let the defense do work behind
00:00:56him.
00:00:56And I think a guy like that can keep a good tempo, don't give hitters time to adjust
00:01:01or think.
00:01:02They can move through a ball game and you look off, they're in line for a quality start.
00:01:05We'll see what he's got in this way.
00:01:13The 0-1.
00:01:17Line drive, base hit right field.
00:01:21Man aboard on the leadoff single.
00:01:24Love how he let that ball travel, trusted his hands, nice job of going the other way.
00:01:35Stepping in, the sluggy shortstop Gunnar Henderson.
00:01:39That's the ball.
00:01:45Just underway from Tropicana Field.
00:01:49That's ripped into the outfield.
00:01:52He's got it.
00:01:59All right, let's take a look at the Orioles lineup now.
00:02:02Seeing the numbers tell us this is an offense designed to swing it.
00:02:06They're not going to force a ton of action on the bases.
00:02:09And so obviously that is one of the focal points that we'll look at.
00:02:12They look at the quality of the at-bats because of the fact that the legs aren't a part of
00:02:17this game.
00:02:17They have to be very selective.
00:02:19Look for long pitch counts, grinding out at-bats and really barrels to the baseball
00:02:23because it's a lot easier to jog around the bases than for these players to sprint.
00:02:28The 1-0.
00:02:31Here's a swing and a drive left field and he knew it.
00:02:37A two-run homer, his seventh home run of the season.
00:02:41And the Orioles jump out in front.
00:02:44It's 2-0.
00:02:46You can't ask for a better start than hitting a home run in your first at-bat to give your
00:02:51team the lead.
00:02:53A breaking ball on the inside part of the play requires a hitter to stay really square with his mechanics.
00:02:58If you fly open with the front shoulder, there's no way you keep that ball fair.
00:03:02An outstanding job mechanically.
00:03:04He deserves that home run.
00:03:07Alonso in the box here and fouls it off for strike one.
00:03:17Since they're viewing in 2019, no player in the majors has hit more homers than Pete Alonso.
00:03:26Swing and a ground ball.
00:03:28Fair ball!
00:03:30Now he'll turn for second.
00:03:33And he starts his afternoon off right with a double.
00:03:38He was definitely late on that pitch, but he didn't get beat.
00:03:41He got the bat on plane and just kept his hands tight to shoot it down the first baseline for
00:03:45the knock.
00:03:48One out.
00:03:49Runner at second.
00:03:50Ryan Mountcastle.
00:03:52The next to hit for the Orioles.
00:03:54Hit on the ground to short.
00:03:56Throws the first in time.
00:04:00That is six.
00:04:01Second baseman, Jackson Holliday.
00:04:05So RBI spot, but Chris, this is a guy that is not really swinging the bat all that well here.
00:04:10In this situation, you have a real good opportunity to get swings and misses and record a strikeout.
00:04:15I think you attack him in this spot.
00:04:18Next offering is downstairs.
00:04:22Rutter at second.
00:04:23Two down.
00:04:24Here in the rubber match of this three-game series.
00:04:28That's low.
00:04:28That's a ball.
00:04:29In the dirt.
00:04:30Blocked.
00:04:373-0 down.
00:04:39And that's in for a strike.
00:04:40Though I know they've gotten out to an early lead, but you don't want to take these opportunities for granted.
00:04:45With two outs.
00:04:46Still lock in with a quality at bat.
00:04:48Drive in that run.
00:04:49You may not have another runner in scoring position the rest of this ballgame.
00:04:55Alonso at second with two down.
00:05:00On the ground.
00:05:01Base hit into the outfield.
00:05:03Rounds third.
00:05:04Headed for the plate.
00:05:05He'll score.
00:05:06And they take a three-run lead.
00:05:08Just goes down and gets.
00:05:09It looks like it's a breaking ball, but he's so good.
00:05:12Went down and got it.
00:05:24Check swing and went.
00:05:264-1.
00:05:33Foul ball there.
00:05:40Sets him down on strikes.
00:05:42That was pretty nasty.
00:05:45Three runs for him here.
00:05:47And they move ahead.
00:05:48Bottom half of inning number one.
00:05:49Coming up.
00:05:50It's the Orioles three.
00:05:52The Rays nothing.
00:05:53It's an eight.
00:05:56Back now in Tampa Bay.
00:05:58And getting a start for Baltimore.
00:06:00Felix Bautista.
00:06:02Chris, what should we keep an eye on here with him?
00:06:04Well, it's a three pitch mix in the repertoire for this starter.
00:06:08He's going to have to command all three if he's going to have success on the hill today.
00:06:12Leading off, Chandler Simpson.
00:06:18And it's fouled away.
00:06:31In the dirt ball.
00:06:33Activity in the bullpen for Baltimore.
00:06:35Zach Eflin appears to be getting loose.
00:06:38Povich.
00:06:39The lefty warming up as well.
00:06:42The 1-1.
00:06:44And a foul ball.
00:07:01Up the middle.
00:07:02The sliding play it short.
00:07:04To first.
00:07:05But he beats it out.
00:07:07And the lead off man is on with an infield single.
00:07:09Indicated hitter, Yandy Diaz.
00:07:17Run around the move.
00:07:19Pitch misses.
00:07:21Ball.
00:07:22And that's a stolen base.
00:07:23Not even close.
00:07:25Well, with that kind of elite arm he has behind the plate.
00:07:28Man, it's a pretty big deal when you can swipe a bag against this dude.
00:07:31Maybe more than anything, it prevents teams from just testing him thinking that they can even steal the base.
00:07:36But right here, they successfully moved that runner up to scoring position.
00:07:40Good job.
00:07:41Man, it's second.
00:07:43Ball.
00:07:43If you're going to be a championship type of ball club, you've got to hit with runners in scoring position.
00:07:47And after last night's struggles, I'm sure this team is chomping at the bit to have this kind of opportunity
00:07:52here early in this game.
00:08:04Bautista checks the runner.
00:08:07Simpson back on a dive.
00:08:14The 2-1.
00:08:16And that one wrapped foul.
00:08:21Runner in scoring position.
00:08:23Nobody out.
00:08:24Here in the third and final game of the series.
00:08:32That's a base hit.
00:08:35And they get it in quickly.
00:08:37First and third now with nobody out.
00:08:40First baseman, Jonathan.
00:08:42Ice line drive to the pull side right there, but he didn't spin off of it.
00:08:46That's the key.
00:08:47You still have to extend through the baseball in order to hit a line drive like that.
00:08:51And now it's going to be Jonathan Aranda right through there for a strike.
00:08:56A runner at third with less than two outs.
00:08:58This is the guy that usually comes through in these spots.
00:09:06Hard hit into the gap.
00:09:08One run will score.
00:09:12Diaz around third.
00:09:14Relay throw home.
00:09:16He'll score.
00:09:17Two runs are in.
00:09:18They trail by one.
00:09:19It's 3-2.
00:09:21Nicely done.
00:09:23Brings home two.
00:09:24Nice job of driving that pitch the other way on a line.
00:09:27You know, hitters, they take so many reps in the cages working on going to the opposite field.
00:09:31And it doesn't always translate into the game.
00:09:33But right there it did.
00:09:34And he did it perfectly.
00:09:38Drops one down in front of the plate.
00:09:42To first.
00:09:43And he beats it.
00:09:43Everyone's safe.
00:09:47This was the perfect spot to drop the butt for a hit.
00:09:50I mean, he used his bat as a tool up there to direct the ball exactly where he wanted it
00:09:55to go.
00:09:55And look smooth doing it at the same time.
00:09:58Really well done.
00:09:59And the defense right there stood no chance.
00:10:02Johnny DeLuca.
00:10:03Next to hit for the Rays.
00:10:04Good defender.
00:10:05He's been inconsistent offensively.
00:10:10Swing and a high fly ball out there towards left field.
00:10:15Brings it in.
00:10:17Runner tags it second.
00:10:18Trying to wiggle out of a rundown now.
00:10:21Applies the tag.
00:10:22And they get two.
00:10:23Double play.
00:10:24Well, we assume it.
00:10:25But not all double plays are six four threes or something like that.
00:10:29Right there it's just sort of a combination of good defense and poor base running.
00:10:33And probably more of the latter.
00:10:35That's a big turn of events in this inning though.
00:10:42Caminero.
00:10:42That one ripped.
00:10:43And that's got extra bases written all over it.
00:10:48Caminero.
00:10:49Around third.
00:10:51He will score.
00:10:52It's three all.
00:10:54Well, we're starting over again.
00:10:56All tied up.
00:10:57Just a great approach.
00:10:58Looked like that was exactly what he wanted to do with that pitch.
00:11:01And right off the bat, he knew he was taking that wide turn at first to head for second.
00:11:06So, runner at second.
00:11:08Two down.
00:11:09Hunter for Ducha.
00:11:10The next to hit.
00:11:11It's been a tough stretch for him at the plate.
00:11:13Only two hits over the last five games.
00:11:16Oh!
00:11:27That one lifted to left.
00:11:30And that's the inning.
00:11:33So they get three and draw even.
00:11:35We head to the second here at Tropicana Field.
00:11:39The O's lead this thing.
00:11:41New inning getting started.
00:11:43Now the Orioles catcher, Samuel Basalo.
00:11:51Swing and a foul straight back.
00:11:53Singy wasn't very sharp in the first.
00:11:55Got hit around a little bit.
00:11:57Just wasn't able to locate particularly well.
00:11:59A lot of stuff for the fat part of the plate.
00:12:01Yeah, Boog.
00:12:01He wasn't fooling anyone.
00:12:02It's a tough place to be.
00:12:04Because it's not always obvious what adjustments need to be made.
00:12:07Sometimes it's location.
00:12:08Sometimes it's being too predictable.
00:12:10Sometimes you're tipping your pitches.
00:12:11He's going to need to figure it out quickly though.
00:12:19Looking for his first big league hit right here.
00:12:30Tied up here in the early going.
00:12:35Ground ball left side.
00:12:37And it finds its way through for a hit.
00:12:40So now back to the top of the order.
00:12:44Enrique Bradfield Jr.
00:12:46With his first major league hit.
00:12:48And this is a moment I'm sure he'll never forget.
00:12:51Congrats.
00:12:52Yeah, great moment for him and his family.
00:12:55A guy worked so hard and had to wait so long for this to happen.
00:12:58And when it does, it can kind of be overwhelming, Boog.
00:13:01You still have to stay locked in on the game.
00:13:03But it's great when you can take a minute to just appreciate what you've done.
00:13:07And how hard you work to get here.
00:13:15First and second.
00:13:17One out.
00:13:17Gunner Henderson.
00:13:19And a dangerous hitter coming to the plate.
00:13:26That one outside.
00:13:27Ball.
00:13:28Ball one.
00:13:29Our umpire for this one, Freddie Ferguson.
00:13:32A consistent umpire by all accounts.
00:13:34Yeah, I think the hook on him is that he's not necessarily by the book with his strikes on.
00:13:39But once you figure out where he's calling strikes, you pretty much count on a mistake.
00:13:43This one swung on and hit well.
00:13:45Way back there.
00:13:47Out of here.
00:13:51His 11th of the year.
00:13:53And the Orioles jump out in front.
00:13:55It's 6-3.
00:13:57That's a fun way to take the lead.
00:13:59Just hit one out of the park.
00:14:06Always scary for a pitcher when a guy can take a fastball down the middle and hit it to the
00:14:11opposite field.
00:14:12No holes in a swing like that.
00:14:14At that time, that ball was hit hard.
00:14:18Right side.
00:14:20Palacios.
00:14:22And two away now.
00:14:23It's a good recovery, though, after giving up the home run.
00:14:27Not allowing it to stay in the head, but going to work at the next hitter.
00:14:30And a tough one at that.
00:14:35Alonso in the box with two gone.
00:14:38And it takes a look at a called strike.
00:14:46Two down.
00:14:47Nobody on.
00:14:50What a stop.
00:14:53Takes it himself.
00:14:54And he got it.
00:14:55Nicely done at first for the out.
00:14:57Orioles get three on this long ball.
00:15:00It's now 6-3.
00:15:09Back now with a new arm on the mound to start the bottom of the second.
00:15:13Zach Eflin.
00:15:14He pitched yesterday and we'll see him once again.
00:15:21And leading off for the race, center fielder, Cedric Mullins.
00:15:32Pack one.
00:15:33Mullins working through some struggles lately.
00:15:42Swing and a bouncer.
00:15:44Holiday.
00:15:46In plenty of time to first.
00:15:48Lead off man retired here in the second.
00:15:50Shortstop, Carson Williams.
00:15:52Go.
00:16:01No, that's down.
00:16:02Law seen a player come through in the clutch moments, Boog.
00:16:05I'm sure his teammates appreciated him sending them home with the W.
00:16:11Out towards right center field.
00:16:14And there are two outs.
00:16:16Hey, man.
00:16:16Four pitches, two outs.
00:16:18That is an excellent pace.
00:16:20Left fielder, Chandler.
00:16:22So the Rays batting order turns over.
00:16:25Chandler Simpson digs in now.
00:16:27A single and a run scored and a walk.
00:16:31That's a real nice cutter right there.
00:16:33I mean, this guy can struggle with the inside pitch at times.
00:16:37So I'd say that's pretty effective if you can continue to command it on that side of the plate.
00:16:42Swing and a ground ball.
00:16:44To first.
00:16:45That ends the frame.
00:16:47Nothing doing for Tampa and can't cut into that 6-3 deficit.
00:16:51That's it.
00:16:55Welcome back.
00:16:56Let's take a look at how the series has played out so far.
00:16:58Ryan.
00:17:00I think that's just what we need now.
00:17:03Okay.
00:17:04Don't imagine.
00:17:06Free.
00:17:14And that traps in for a strike.
00:17:22That one fouled off.
00:17:30Slice to right.
00:17:32And it stays fair.
00:17:36So a runner aboard to start the inning.
00:17:39Up next for the Orioles.
00:17:42Second baseman.
00:17:42Tough game for him so far.
00:17:44Boog.
00:17:44Another hit.
00:17:45And they've just been knocking him around through the first two plus.
00:17:47He's got to get things back on track.
00:17:50Maybe junk a pitch that isn't working or he might not last much longer.
00:18:00Now this one gets away from the catcher.
00:18:03Throws to second.
00:18:04Tag.
00:18:05Save at second.
00:18:06And good hustle to move up.
00:18:08That's a wild pitch.
00:18:09Oh, he's had a hard time getting into a rhythm.
00:18:12He's not been able to repeat his good delivery.
00:18:14And that's why we're seeing the ball sprayed all over the place.
00:18:17That right there is just an example of how tough it's been for him today.
00:18:21Fouls it back with two strikes.
00:18:25Man at second.
00:18:27Foul ball.
00:18:27It stays nothing in two.
00:18:34Foul ball left side.
00:18:36He'll see another.
00:18:37Pitcher having a pretty tough time getting that swing and miss.
00:18:40Third foul ball in a row.
00:18:42That one's upstairs.
00:18:43Ball one.
00:18:47On the ground to third.
00:18:50Tosses across the first.
00:18:52And one away at the top of the third.
00:18:56And here's a look at how he's using his pitches in this one.
00:19:02So now with one away and a man at second.
00:19:05Colton Couser.
00:19:06The next to hit for the Orioles.
00:19:08Well, the good thing so far is that he hasn't issued any free passes.
00:19:12Unfortunately, they're making pretty good contact.
00:19:14Now this one gets through.
00:19:17Stop sign goes up at third.
00:19:19Runners at the corners with one out.
00:19:22He was all over that one.
00:19:24There was nothing cheap about the way he got that one through the infield.
00:19:27That was ripped.
00:19:28Cut out.
00:19:40Run and didn't get under it like he would have liked, but definitely put a good swing on it.
00:19:45Right down to shoot.
00:19:47That strike one.
00:19:52Sliced hard, but fouled down the left side.
00:19:57Two on, one out.
00:20:00On the ground to the left.
00:20:02Whips it across.
00:20:03That's out number two.
00:20:08Up next for the Orioles, right fielder, Enrique Bradfield Jr.
00:20:14Getting ready to hit.
00:20:16A little bit low.
00:20:17That's the ball down.
00:20:18Ball one.
00:20:22Next offering is fouled back.
00:20:25Rutter at second, two down.
00:20:27We're here in the top half of inning number three.
00:20:29That one finds the zone.
00:20:31Now one and two.
00:20:34On the ground right side.
00:20:36And that's just fouled.
00:20:39Flew open a little bit with that front shoulder, but was able to slow his back.
00:20:42Oh, now this one gets away at the plate.
00:20:44Up with it.
00:20:45Fires to first.
00:20:46He's out of there.
00:20:47That completes the strikeout, and that'll do it.
00:20:51One run, a pair of hits, no errors, and one left off.
00:20:55We move on to the bottom of inning number three.
00:20:58It's the Orioles seven and the Rays three.
00:21:01Back here at the ballpark, let's check out the latest news from around the league.
00:21:05Reservated hitter, Lonnie Deo.
00:21:16Well, these Rays doing a good job of simply getting the bat on the ball in this game,
00:21:20and the numbers back that up.
00:21:22And here's a stat for you, Boog.
00:21:23They're making contact with more than 85% of the pitches that they're swinging at.
00:21:28It's pretty special stuff.
00:21:29Not so good if you're out there on the mound.
00:21:31It's through for a hit.
00:21:33Man aboard on the leadoff single.
00:21:34Boog, I don't think that pitch would have been called a strike,
00:21:37but he did such a nice job of pulling his hands tight to the body
00:21:40and just getting enough of the barrel on it to be hard enough back up the middle for a knock.
00:21:55All those numbers mean this offense is really making the defense work
00:21:59by just putting the ball into play.
00:22:01Anything can happen at that point.
00:22:06That misses the zone.
00:22:08And that's ball one.
00:22:17Liner snagged at first.
00:22:19Dives for the bag.
00:22:21Got him.
00:22:21Double play.
00:22:23Up next for the Rays, third baseman.
00:22:25Two down bases empty.
00:22:28Junior Caminero.
00:22:29Next to hit for the Rays.
00:22:33And he's the home run leader on this team, Siggy.
00:22:43That's the third.
00:22:44Out with room to spare.
00:22:47And that's the inning.
00:22:49Rays held in check here.
00:22:50Deficit remains at four.
00:22:52It's 7-3.
00:22:58As we go to the top of the fourth.
00:23:00Here's the Orioles lead off hitter.
00:23:01Taylor Ward.
00:23:04Ball low.
00:23:25In the air right field.
00:23:27And there's one down.
00:23:35up next for the Orioles shortstop
00:23:38Gunnar Henderson popped up to the
00:23:43left into foul ground Caminero
00:23:48takes it in for the out two away
00:23:53Jordan Westburn the next to him
00:23:55for the Orioles he's already
00:23:57homered here in this one
00:24:01yeah Westburn 27 years old he made
00:24:04his major league debut in 2023 and he
00:24:07was a second round pick in 2020
00:24:20nothing doing this time around for the
00:24:22O's but they lead it by four it's seven
00:24:24three bottom four and stepping in for the
00:24:30rain
00:24:39johnny de luca
00:24:40fielder johnny de luca
00:24:56in the air left field and there's one
00:25:00away
00:25:02just pulled off of it a little bit right
00:25:05there that front shoulder coming open
00:25:07instead of staying closed if he does that
00:25:09he's going to be able to go up the middle
00:25:11the other way with some authority
00:25:12instead of a fly out to left
00:25:21the Orioles leading by four we're here in
00:25:23the bottom of the fourth
00:25:39swing and a high fly ball left field
00:25:43takes it in for the out
00:25:48and now hunter for duccia he's all for one
00:25:57out towards right center field
00:25:59holiday under this one
00:26:02and that is that
00:26:05rays go in order one two three they're down
00:26:08four it's seven to three
00:26:13all set for the start of the inning so now the
00:26:15Orioles clean up hitter pete alonzo
00:26:21check swing called strike strike one you know these Orioles simply put are producing a lot of
00:26:28quality swings we've heard lots of loud noise coming from their backs in this one haven't we
00:26:33i mean they've logged six hits at 90 plus exit velocity and that doesn't happen by accident
00:26:44swing and a miss and that's four strikeouts that's a pretty nasty pitch right there i'd call it a power
00:26:51curveball in the 80s it's got so much spin on it and you really don't have a lot of time
00:26:56to sit back
00:26:57and watch what it's going to do before you have to commit it was a good one for the swinging
00:27:01strikeout
00:27:02with all those extra base hits it's easy to think we're going to see that trend continue the rest of
00:27:07the game they seem to be really locked in at the plate this to third sends it across the first
00:27:13and the first two set down at the top of the fifth second baseman jackson holiday
00:27:20jackson holiday the next to hit for the orioles
00:27:26that one close rule the ball and that's ball one
00:27:43to third caminero zips it to first third out that ends the frame three up three down for the orioles
00:27:51but they still lead at 7-3
00:27:58back here in tampa bay and stepping
00:28:08for the rays cedric mullens
00:28:15well these rays doing a good job of putting the ball into play and that makes things more
00:28:20challenging on the defensive side they have yet to strike out and they're averaging more
00:28:24than a hit per inning that's a great recipe for success right there
00:28:48nope ball
00:28:58battling here as he fouls it away
00:29:06the one two
00:29:10keeps the at-bat going with a foul ball
00:29:21fights that one away still one and two five foul balls in this at bat so far and these two
00:29:27are going
00:29:27head to head you can see the crowd they're starting to get into it a little bit more and more
00:29:32each pitch
00:29:32even though there hasn't been a ball in play yet
00:29:45fights it off you'll see another
00:29:56gets a piece and stays alive
00:30:07gets a piece of ball
00:30:08popped up
00:30:10mountcastle under it
00:30:13and there's one down
00:30:20up next for the rays shortstop carson williams
00:30:29down
00:30:30down ball
00:30:31the rays down by four last half of inning number five
00:30:39this way driven deep center field on its way home run
00:30:49a solo shot and they're chipping away
00:30:52it's seven four
00:30:55that one just sounded different
00:30:57and might have been the loudest moment yet man my ears are ringing i can feel that swing from the
00:31:01booth
00:31:04let's break out the stack cast numbers it's singing it tells us this home run was projected
00:31:09at more than 450 feet yeah and not many players can hit home runs as far as this one that's
00:31:17a special
00:31:17feeling and i'm sure he was giggling a little bit as he was jogging around the bases that was one
00:31:23heck of a swing he put on the baseball simpson batting with one down takes a strike
00:31:35man that got him square in the mask
00:31:45foul off and they'll do it again
00:31:56ground ball right side holiday throws the first in time
00:32:04up next for the race designated hitter
00:32:17chris he's their team leader when it comes to rbis
00:32:27swing and a high fly ball to left that is the inning
00:32:34and the rays get one on a solo shot it's now a 7-4 ball game it's an al east
00:32:40matchup here on mlb the show

00:33:16money around this door and now heat reside way past sun and we love sun that's every fun but can
00:33:23you
00:33:23get your head out now pitching for the rays they go to the bullpen
00:33:27steven matt's pretty tight game so they're looking for quality pitches out of them right here
00:33:33got to do his best to keep the score right where it is
00:33:39cows are leading things off and takes a strike
00:33:47ball
00:33:54gets him to chase after that one
00:34:04struck him out looking that was pretty nasty cowser wants another look at the called strike it's a
00:34:11challenge and it's going to stay a strike one challenge remaining for them now
00:34:25foul ball
00:34:35outside low and it's one and one
00:34:44out to short
00:34:47two quick outs to open the top of the six
00:34:51up next for the orioles right fielder enrique bradfield jr enrique bradfield jr now at the plate
00:35:00one for two
00:35:08two down nobody on and we're the top half of the sixth
00:35:14ball
00:35:21just no that's that's the ball
00:35:30that's off the mark three and one now
00:35:38curve ball over for a called strike that big curve insides a pitch that can buckle you a little
00:35:44bit looks like a fastball out of hand and then just drops over that inside part of the plate
00:35:49fouls it back with two strikes
00:35:55two down nobody on
00:35:59on the ground to third
00:36:02whips it to first and that'll do it orioles held in check there they hold a 7-4 lead
00:36:15back down for the bottom of the sixth and there's a new pitcher on the mound kade povich
00:36:19he doesn't get a lot of strikeouts compared to other relievers so he relies on getting that soft
00:36:24contact and the defense doing work behind him they'll have to be on their toes with him on the ball
00:36:34went with the sweeper for the strike movement in the orioles bullpen
00:36:39yenier cano the right-handed sinker baller he looks to be readying himself kittredge also getting ready
00:36:47swings and misses at the pitch off the plate
00:36:56taps softly to the right side but it kicks foul
00:37:08swing and a ball popped in the air out to shallow center
00:37:13holliday takes it in for the out one down
00:37:19up next for the race third baseman jr camonero
00:37:26and that gets the inside corner for a strike didn't seem like that one found his own here's
00:37:32a challenge and the strike is overturned after review so they've still got both their challenges
00:37:39the rays trailing by three here in the bottom of the sixth
00:37:54inside almost got him
00:38:04hard grounder into the outfield for a knock
00:38:08so they get a man aboard with a one-out single
00:38:16now it's the right fielder johnny de luca
00:38:20now this team is definitely looking for a big swing of the bat right here try to close that gap
00:38:25but you
00:38:25know at the very least if you could find a way to manufacture that run from first it feels like
00:38:29it's really important to getting back into this ball game
00:38:38oh one down
00:38:42line drive and that's base hit out into center field
00:38:46quick throw back in lead runner holds it second with one gone
00:38:51two consecutive base hits for this team that let's see if they can string something together make it a little
00:38:55more interesting
00:39:08and that one a little below the knees ball one
00:39:19two on one out that misses the zone and it's two and oh he's getting a little frustrated out there
00:39:25on
00:39:25the mound getting hit around a little bit let's see if he can settle himself down
00:39:30on a line
00:39:34snags it on the run runner tags it second and now a wide throw to third nothing instills more confidence
00:39:41in a team than a center fielder who makes a great play like that on the run they can feed
00:39:46off the
00:39:47energy he brings just from his playmaking abilities
00:39:57good dude check in the box now take strike one
00:40:00well if he's gonna steal second do you want him to go early in the count that way he's not
00:40:04a
00:40:04distraction to the hitter at the plate go ahead and get it out of the way so the hitter can
00:40:09focus on
00:40:09the pitch base hit in the center field runner from third into score it's an rbi single and they cut
00:40:17the
00:40:17lead to two oh a swing like that can help you come out of the struggle we saw the numbers
00:40:22coming into
00:40:23the ball game but all he's trying to do at this point is help his team win
00:40:30and immediately pulls in a strike to the left-handed hitter
00:40:40that crosses the plate and now they're just one strike away from getting out of this mess
00:40:51two on two outs in the air to left center henderson gets under it and that ends the inning
00:41:01but the rbi single pushes across a run it's now seven five
00:41:12top of inning number seven here's the orioles leadoff hitter taylor warren
00:41:21line drive and that's a fair ball
00:41:26and they have their first hit since the third inning having himself a really nice game at the plate
00:41:32or you really shot that one down the right field line and somehow found a way to keep it from
00:41:37slicing foul one thing that was great
00:41:39the approach his head was down all the way through the pitch and that's how you do it runner takes
00:41:50off base hit
00:41:54lead runner holds up they're at first and second with nobody out
00:41:58it's not waste no time there anytime you rip a line drive the other way you feel really good about
00:42:04what
00:42:04you did at the plate you trusted your hands you let the ball travel and you took the barrel straight
00:42:09to it that's great work right there now the third baseman jordan westberg and it was a homer back in
00:42:15the first inning that got his day started at the plate yeah a two-run blast and that swing will
00:42:21give
00:42:21him confidence the rest of the way right through there for a strike really good job in this spot to
00:42:27get ahead
00:42:27in the count he's going to have to continue finish off this hitter inside and hit him and now the
00:42:33bases are loaded
00:42:44in the air right field he's got it runners tag up from second and third
00:42:52to the plate save it's eight to five that play really shows how important it is to hit the cutoff
00:42:58man looked like he tried to throw through and get the runner at home but it backfired and it ended
00:43:03up
00:43:04costing them a run i remember my rookie year overthrowing a cutoff man didn't last long before
00:43:09i was pulled aside by a veteran pitcher he had a talk with me i don't know if i ever
00:43:14missed a cutoff man
00:43:15again mancastle wants to challenge this thought it was a ball and they don't come much closer but it
00:43:22was a ball so they get to hang on to their second challenge the orioles trying to break this one
00:43:30open
00:43:30here in the top half of inning number seven well in this situation with a runner on first less than
00:43:35two
00:43:35outs some say hey get the ground ball double play with two strikes some people say get the strikeout i
00:43:42think you just execute your pitch make the best pitch you possibly can and let the result be
00:43:47whatever it's going to be stays alive lefty out of the stretch runners at first and third no that's up
00:44:03this ball's chopped on the ground off balance speed there's one what a double play that was
00:44:10inning over they get a run on two hits no errors and the man left seventh inning stretch time
00:44:16it's the orioles eight the rays five it's an al east matchup here on mlb the show
00:44:26welcome back taking a look at our game summer for the rain shortstop carson williams
00:44:48man i mean nice job just presenting it to be better than it actually was
00:44:57this one in the air center field cows are coming on he's got it and a quick out number one
00:45:06up next for the race left fielder
00:45:09chandler simpson
00:45:18inside just missed
00:45:26line drive
00:45:35solid swing from start to end on time with everything really good balance nice extension
00:45:40and he met it out front for the line drive now and now they've got some speed on first so
00:45:45we'll see if
00:45:45they try to get him into motion one down next to hit yandy diaz step off throw to first and
00:45:53he's back
00:45:53safely now these guys definitely looking for a big swing of the bat right here try to close that gap
00:45:58but
00:45:59you know at the very least if you could find a way to manufacture that run from first it feels
00:46:03like it's
00:46:03really important rudder takes off fall outside that's the ball save in second and he easily steals
00:46:10the bag looks like the base runner had a pretty good feel on the pitcher's move after that pick over
00:46:15seemed to settle in and he took off right away nice job of stealing second right there
00:46:25man at second ripped on a line to center cows are moving under it and he makes the catch
00:46:33runner tags at second and the throws off line safe at third next for the race first baseman
00:46:41jonathan aranda
00:46:54fastball for a strike
00:47:04field one
00:47:07up the middle and that one handled
00:47:11c fantastic effort but that extends the inning well that's a great effort with two outs and he
00:47:17displayed why it's so important to get out of the box quickly there's no time to waste on these plays
00:47:22and that hustle down the line to beat the throw really earned him that run here comes the skipper
00:47:27and we're going to see a pitching change in this spot kade povich gives way to run ball game as
00:47:34he
00:47:34heads for the dugout and we'll be back with a new pitcher
00:47:40now pitching for yanyir cano into the game he has a great slider with tons of movement
00:47:51so here's the cleanup hitter junior caminero
00:48:00no that's outside ball
00:48:14the Orioles trying to protect it to run
00:48:17lead here the bottom of the seven
00:48:23the one one is fouled off
00:48:32one two swing and a miss struck him out
00:48:38so they pick up a run on two hits no errors
00:48:41and a man left eighth inning coming up
00:48:43it's the Orioles eight the race six
00:48:48welcome back and a new arm on the mound
00:48:50to start the eight Cole Solser and he's
00:48:54done a great job keeping the ball in the
00:48:55park this year the numbers stack up with
00:48:58some of the best in the game
00:49:03makes the catch one down
00:49:05it's never fun going back to the dugout
00:49:07after hitting the line drive that finds a
00:49:09glove but you will get some high fives
00:49:11you know when you make great contact you
00:49:13feel like you've done everything right
00:49:14and in this game of baseball not
00:49:16everything is in your control
00:49:22hit hard on the ground is short throws the
00:49:26first two up two down here at the top of
00:49:28the eighth
00:49:29up next for the Orioles two outs base is empty
00:49:33Samuel Vassalo the next to hit for the
00:49:36Orioles and that one fouled off
00:49:47in there for a strike at the bottom of the zone
00:49:58grab ball up the middle and it finds its way through for a head
00:50:03so he gets on base and keeps it going
00:50:14on the ground to third bounces it to first but he gets it out of the
00:50:19inning is over one left for the Orioles they lead at eight six
00:50:29back now new pitcher on the mound as we roll into the bottom of the eighth
00:50:33Andrew Pittridge and compared to a lot of other relievers strikeouts have not
00:50:38been a big weapon for him this year so the defense should be active
00:50:57no that catchridge a former all-star he features a slider a sinker a foresever
00:51:04and occasionally works in a splitter rips that one center field one up on down
00:51:14up next for the ring second baseman Richie Colasio
00:51:24lifted in the air left field pretty well struck he's there he's got it out number
00:51:31two
00:51:34here's the catcher hunter for Ducha really nice swing in his last at bat shot a line
00:51:39drive into center field
00:51:43definitely a swing and miss slider down and in he finished that really well just
00:51:48couldn't get him to offer at it
00:51:53ground ball in the middle that's a base hit
00:51:57and that'll bring the tying run to the plate
00:52:00up next for the ring center fielder
00:52:04up next for the ring center fielder
00:52:30smash that will do the infield for the knock
00:52:32it's hit that hard it makes it very tough on the infielders to pick any sort of play
00:52:37really important bat coming up now
00:52:39and here is Carson Williams he's already homered in this game
00:52:47pitch misses inside ball one
00:52:58swing and a line drive and that's a base hit into right field runner around third on his way to
00:53:04the plate
00:53:05one runs in and they hold the runner at third potential tying run 90 feet away now
00:53:11such great concentration everybody on their feet knowing that you can come through with a good swing
00:53:19and there he doesn't try to do too much
00:53:22manager out of the dugout now and it looks like we'll see a change on the mound
00:53:26Andrew Kittredge won't go any further and the line not closed on him yet as he's responsible for the runners
00:53:32on base
00:53:33back with a new pitcher after this
00:53:40so they bring down their closer in the eight
00:53:43Ryan Helsley
00:53:44all they need from him right here is one out but that's easier said than done for sure
00:53:49lots of pressure with two runners in scoring position
00:53:52he does have the one open base to work with if needed
00:53:58that misses and it's one to know
00:54:00well they're applying pressure quality at bats quality swings right now
00:54:04and see this offense doing it one player to the next showing a lot of fight right now
00:54:09and they're making it difficult for the back end of this bullpen to close out this game
00:54:16two on two outs
00:54:19swing and a line drive base hit into left field
00:54:22one runs in
00:54:23fires to the plate
00:54:31clutch hitting right there to give him the lead this late in the ball game
00:54:35showed a willingness to drive that pitch the opposite way
00:54:38didn't get jumpy
00:54:39didn't try to pull the ball and let it get deep
00:54:41took the barrel right to it and then extended through the swing for the line drive
00:55:01and he dives back in safely
00:55:17and now he's up to three stolen bases in the game
00:55:21two outs is a great time to try to steal second especially when you have a guy with some wheels
00:55:25on first
00:55:26defense probably knew it was coming but figured we better focus on trying to get this hitter out
00:55:33and then on second two down
00:55:35and swings and fouls one off
00:55:47did he go
00:55:48started after it tried to hold up
00:55:50now look to first
00:55:52yes he did
00:55:53that's a swing
00:56:00spoils the two strike pitch and he'll see another
00:56:09man at second
00:56:11pitch kicks away
00:56:13the throw to third
00:56:14he's in there
00:56:16Simpson
00:56:17up to third on the wild pitch
00:56:19even with a good secondary lead
00:56:21sometimes it's hard to see just how far that ball's gotten away from the catcher
00:56:25and if you can make it to third base
00:56:27pretty much standing up
00:56:28well at that time
00:56:29he seemed to have a pretty good read
00:56:31gets the third safely
00:56:32and now he's just 90 feet away from scoring
00:56:352-2
00:56:37slider misses outside
00:56:39Jonathan Aranda
00:56:40up next for the Rays
00:56:49swing and a miss for the strikeout
00:56:51inning ends
00:56:53and that stops the bleeding
00:56:54three runs on four hits
00:56:56no errors
00:56:56and one left off
00:56:58through eight full
00:56:59the Rays
00:57:00on top
00:57:01nine
00:57:02now pitching for the
00:57:04we're back it's the top of the ninth
00:57:05and there's a new pitcher on the mound
00:57:07Edwin Ocedo
00:57:08and I can't imagine any save is an easy one
00:57:11you're holding a small lead on the scoreboard
00:57:13and you know those hitters are going to give you the best at bats they can
00:57:16so
00:57:17it's always high stress
00:57:19let's see what he's got here to try and close it out
00:57:21he'll challenge
00:57:22thought that was a ball
00:57:24and that one was indeed a strike
00:57:27no challenges left for them now
00:57:33looking to get the tying run on base
00:57:36and it's even
00:57:37that's in
00:57:38ball
00:57:39catcher challenge
00:57:40we'll take another look
00:57:45pretty close but it was a ball
00:57:47that knocks them down to one challenge left
00:57:57and that jumps in for a strike
00:57:59well that's really the money spot
00:58:01down and away
00:58:02if you can locate that consistently
00:58:03it's going to be real tall for hitters to square that off
00:58:06that's what you love
00:58:06got him swinging for the strikeout
00:58:09and a strikeout for the first out here in the ninth
00:58:12well that's a blue zone right there
00:58:14or the cold zone on the hitting chart
00:58:17just doesn't have much success
00:58:18in that part of the strike zone
00:58:21and a really good job of the pitcher executing
00:58:23try to go there as often as you can
00:58:25the numbers are in your favor
00:58:27Henderson
00:58:28batting with one down
00:58:29takes the strike
00:58:35good
00:58:36and there's a strike
00:58:36quickly down
00:58:370-2 in the count
00:58:38I think you gotta choke up a little bit
00:58:40spread out the feet
00:58:41you don't know what the velocity
00:58:42or the location of this next pitch is going to be
00:58:44that's the ball
00:58:45and that's awfully close
00:58:47I don't know how you take that
00:58:48he's seeing the ball out of the pitcher's hand
00:58:50really raw right now
00:59:03ball ball another 2 2 upcoming
00:59:15swing and a ground ball
00:59:19throw short hops of it first
00:59:21can't come up with it
00:59:22he's safe
00:59:24up next for the Orioles
00:59:26well we're gonna see throwing errors
00:59:27from third base from time to time
00:59:29and that's a pretty good example of why
00:59:31if you don't get behind the throw properly
00:59:33it's really easy to throw a power sinker over there to first
00:59:37and first
00:59:38meanwhile this pitch gets away
00:59:40to second
00:59:41not gonna get him
00:59:42he's in there
00:59:43that's a wild pitch
00:59:44and the tying run moves into scoring position
00:59:46you know sometimes it takes a reliever
00:59:48a little time to get comfortable
00:59:49with the mound out there
00:59:50especially when they come in
00:59:52trying to be nasty with every pitch they throw
00:59:54not exactly what they were looking for
00:59:56when they called him in though
00:59:57we'll see if he can settle down
00:59:59swing and a miss
01:00:00and a count one and one
01:00:05there's the strike of the news
01:00:07came a little frustrated with the strike zone
01:00:14swing and a miss
01:00:15that's a strikeout
01:00:17and the Orioles down to their final out
01:00:21here's Pete Alonso
01:00:22trying to deliver as the hero
01:00:24look out here
01:00:25he's gonna come up ready to swing in this situation
01:00:29right there for a strike
01:00:31and I know you want to be patient as a hitter
01:00:33but you got to be ready to jump on the first thing straight
01:00:36and he got one right there
01:00:38but left the bat on his shoulder
01:00:40the Orioles down to their final strike
01:00:43swung on belted
01:00:46that one carrying
01:00:49off the batter's eye and gone
01:00:53Pete Alonso takes it deep
01:00:56and they've rallied from four back
01:00:58it's 10-9
01:01:01these fans are dealing with some heartbreak right now
01:01:16no matter how this outing ends
01:01:18that pitch is gonna haunt him for a while
01:01:21an 0-2 mistake
01:01:22that's supposed to be a pitch out of the zone
01:01:24he left it in the spot
01:01:26that the hitter could do some damage with
01:01:27and that's exactly what he did
01:01:37check swing and he went
01:01:39that strike one
01:01:40one run game here at the top of the ninth
01:01:45ball
01:01:54nice grab
01:01:55over the first
01:01:57but it's not in time
01:01:58base hit
01:02:02maybe just a little lack of concentration on that throw
01:02:05two out
01:02:05you think you've got the play made
01:02:07players are starting to move off the field towards the dugout
01:02:10and then everyone's got to come back
01:02:11sometimes you take that throw for granted
01:02:13and that's all it takes to keep the inning going
01:02:15Holiday
01:02:16stands in now
01:02:17and watches strike one
01:02:19swing and a bouncer
01:02:20Williams
01:02:21on the run
01:02:22sent it over to first
01:02:24nicely done for the out
01:02:26and some late inning drama here in the ninth
01:02:29as this homer gives them the lead
01:02:31and the back and forth continues
01:02:33it's 10-9 now
01:02:36back here at Tropicana Field
01:02:37and stepping in for the Rays
01:02:39Jonathan Aranda
01:02:44comes up empty as he chases that one in the dirt
01:02:47Wow
01:02:48that's how you're close to the zone
01:02:53swing and a foul out of play
01:02:55little tardy on that fastball is going to have to get it going a little quicker
01:02:58get that front foot down
01:03:01one run game bottom nine
01:03:03popped in the air
01:03:04left field
01:03:06Ward settles under this one
01:03:08then there's one down
01:03:14up next for the Rays third baseman
01:03:18Junior
01:03:22Fought off foul
01:03:33and that one fouled off
01:03:45that's a little bit now
01:03:46well triple digits on the gun
01:03:48I know there are more pitchers that can reach that now than in the past but it's still impressive to
01:03:53watch
01:03:55knocks that one away and we'll do it again
01:04:05on the ground is short Henderson
01:04:09tosses the first and there's two away
01:04:12that's a huge defensive play in the late stages of the game
01:04:15it might not be the most challenging we've seen today but it needed to be made
01:04:20that's helping your team
01:04:23breaking ball and that got him
01:04:29so two down Richie Palacios next to hit for the Rays
01:04:33corner infielders guarding the lines
01:04:36trying to run around the goal
01:04:37pitch in for a strike
01:04:39throws
01:04:40and that's a scoring base
01:04:42and the tying run is now in scoring position
01:04:45well it seems like 90 feet is such a big deal in a tight one run game like this one
01:04:51maybe it's a little bit risky
01:04:52but they felt good about it and it paid off
01:04:55let's see if they can turn this into a big run
01:04:58now a pop up on the infield
01:05:00Henderson
01:05:03and he's got it
01:05:04ball game
01:05:05and the Orioles with the rubber match of this three game series
01:05:10the whole game this team had to battle with that tenth man
01:05:13those fans making a lot of noise but they took the lead the ninth inning
01:05:16quieted things down
01:05:17and were able to get those final three outs in the bottom half as well
01:05:21just a very well executed ball game
01:05:24in a one run game as this one ends 10-9
01:05:28as the Orioles win this one for Chris Singleton and our entire crew
