00:01It's Friday Night Baseball it's
00:03also Pride Night here in San
00:05Francisco and tonight it's game
00:07one of the series Giants and
00:08Cubs on the hill tonight for the
00:10Giants will be the right hander
00:12Landon Rupp and did he go around
00:14he did if you swing at it doesn't
00:16matter if it hits you here's
00:17Bregman we saw it in his last
00:19outing he really had a good
00:21breaking ball in Chicago and
00:22he's definitely brought it in
00:23tonight and that one a little
00:24bit low Sue Sack will challenge
00:26and it's a strike the root
00:29strikes out the side Giants are
00:31coming up on the hill tonight for
00:33the Cubs will be the right hander
00:34Javier Assad who's right two for
00:36five lifetime against the side on
00:38drive base hit right past the
00:40diving Bregman and what's new
00:43everything that Assad has is just
00:44some cutter not a big one just a
00:46little leak that kind of bores it
00:48on your hand if you're hitting it
00:49from the left side that's 90 mile
00:51an hour movement with good with
00:52good location here's Devers big
00:54chopper but right at Bush one hit
00:57one left nothing nothing after one
00:59first time this year the Cubs have
01:00opened a game with four straight
01:02strike strikeouts just setting them
01:05up boo they're just setting them up
01:06and the batter is say Suzuki nothing
01:09nothing game the one one line drive
01:12and that one is a fair ball down the
01:14left field line Schmidt over to pick
01:17it up it gets past him there's
01:19Suzuki to second takes a big turn and
01:21he puts on the brakes and with one out
01:23say has himself a double and that's a
01:26nine game hitting streak for say a
01:29Suzuki get back here curly let's see
01:32if Nico Horner can drive in a run on
01:35the ground to the right side arise
01:38there's two away and the batter now
01:40will be Moises by a sterile's by a
01:43sterile's in the seven spot and
01:45doing the DH and hitting 240 with
01:47six homers tap softly on the ground
01:50to the right side arise picks it up
01:52throws him out Cubs get a one out
01:54double from Suzuki but nothing else
01:56something that council pointed out a
01:58few days ago is that if you look at
02:00the outings from Assad this season
02:02to get a ground ball there to first
02:04base 15 of the 17 runs that he's
02:07given up have come in two of the
02:09outing so all in all he has pitched
02:12really well on the season and he's
02:13proving that he can get out here in
02:15the big leagues he has established
02:17that I mean really from the jump on
02:19the ground that's to the left side
02:20and break them Chapman is out at one
02:23two three go the Giants heat go
02:26Armstrong he's a left-handed hitter
02:28for the with a right-handed sinker
02:30baller like Rube to to my drive
02:33right center field that's going to
02:35touch down and it's cut off out
02:37there by Gilbert PCA will cruise into
02:40second and he's got a two out
02:42double so the Cubs with a man at
02:44scoring position and Pete Crowe
02:46Armstrong stays high a 16 game
02:49on Bay Street for Pete Crowe
02:50Armstrong they'll pitch my drive
02:54into center field sink in Gilbert
02:56there and he makes the catch drill
02:59Gilbert made a running catch in
03:00shallow center and that ends the
03:02inning Cubs don't score the Drew
03:04Gilbert Daniel Susak and Luis
03:07arrives for the Giants I'll be
03:09Assad picking up where he left off
03:12fly ball to center it's going to be
03:13caught by Pete Crowe Armstrong it's a
03:16one two three inning for Javier
03:17he's pitching well let's see if the
03:19Cubs can get him some runs as we go
03:21to the fourth inning here's Michael
03:23Busch here comes a 3-1 inside it
03:27almost hit him and it's ball four
03:28leadoff man is aboard so a promising
03:31start here in the fourth on the
03:34ground Devers will pick it up spins
03:36and throws and gets Busch his work over
03:39at first base has been really good
03:41he gets after this as he's feeling and
03:44he starts to rotate to put himself in
03:45position say Suzuki a double was left
03:48stranded back in the second that's
03:50it's drilled left center field that one
03:53back and it's off the base of the wall
03:55half to third Quintberry's gonna send
03:57him half to the plate here's the throw
03:59one hop gets away Ian is in Suzuki to
04:04third and it's 1-0 Cubs with the lead
04:07and that was a strike from William
04:09Thomas I don't think he'd make a
04:10better throw promise it had a little
04:12bit of a short hop on it and it's do
04:13or die play for Susak I mean that was
04:16perfect that wasn't even a short hop
04:17that should have been played so a run
04:19in a runner at third infield is in
04:21for Nico Horner three to high fly ball
04:24left field backing up is Schmidt back to
04:28tag is Suzuki say a will tag here's
04:31the throw to the plate cut off
04:33sacrifice fly Nico Horner and the Cubs
04:36lead it to nothing and it all started
04:39with a leadoff walk your side back at
04:42it stay hot say a an Eldridge laces a
04:46line at a right at say a base hit and
04:49Eldridge with a leadoff single casing
04:52Schmidt here Schmidt popped out his
04:54first time softly third base side of
04:57the mound a side picks it up and throws
05:00him out agile play by Javier aside
05:03and continues to get big league hitters
05:05out pick off play on and he threw it
05:08away right into the lumber yard so to
05:11go he won and it just wasn't
05:13necessary watch the catcher make the
05:15call there's the call you just turn
05:16and go on it way wide of Swanson
05:18no side knocking pitch for the
05:20strikeout endeavor is gonna do his
05:22best to try to put the ball in play
05:24got him front door sink it locks him
05:26up if he gives up on this pitch it
05:28is a huge strikeout he 0 for 1 hit a
05:31ball sharply on the ground his first
05:32time up on the ground Horner sliding
05:35on a bounce he'll collect it and a
05:38side able to pitch around the lead
05:39off single person Kelly will step to
05:42the plate as we go to the fifth and
05:44takes a real ball for now Bregman
05:46and Bregman has struck out swinging
05:48and lined out to center line drive
05:50slicing right center field Kelly on the
05:52move Gilbert will pick it up Kelly to
05:54third he'll hold there Bregman dives
05:57in with a double and with two outs
05:59the Cubs have runners that second
06:01and third we haven't seen a lot from
06:03him lately driving that ball right
06:06center gap so Bregman with the two
06:08bagger and out to the mound Tony
06:10Vitello will make the pitching
06:12change beer match up right here
06:14Miller and Bush the one one it's
06:17hammered right field that one back on
06:19its way and it is gone Michael Bush
06:24splashdown McCovey Cove and the Cubs
06:27have opened up a five nothing lead
06:31and for Bush number eight about
06:33Michael Bush he cracks open a cold
06:35one the yeast he could do know there's
06:38somebody at home to make it stop just
06:41stop being on over dad's beer jokes you
06:44could possibly come up with all right
06:46Giants now have been issued a challenge
06:49now they got to answer I mean this is
06:50the time where they've they've got to
06:52put something on the board let the
06:53Cubs know they're out there backhanded
06:54which gets one double play we head to
06:58inning number six comes up five to
07:01nothing here aside outstanding here
07:04tonight on the ground a short right at
07:06Dansby gathers it in one down he has
07:09been a huge saving grace for this Cubs
07:11pitching staff for all the injuries
07:13they got off of Assad Bush grabs it and
07:17he missed the tag but Bush thinks he
07:19tagged him on the helmet and he may
07:21have yeah he may have the first look
07:23we had it here at the ballpark well
07:26you know right you got to see if he
07:28touched them or not I mean this is the
07:30one that may be a little more telling
07:32calling fields overturn the runners out
07:34Chicago retains their challenge two down
07:36bottom of the sixth inning Cubs on top
07:38Bryce Eldridge the batter he has struck out
07:41and single corner on a dive can't find
07:43it recovers and throws it away and
07:46now it just rolls all over the place
07:48Kelly picks it up over on third
07:51street Eldridge is going to have a
07:53hit and those are the errors that
07:54really drive you crazy they do drive
07:56you crazy figure the Giants after
07:57seeing the sod less than a week ago
07:59that they might have him figured out
08:01tonight but boy that has not been
08:02the case and that'll do it six shut
08:05out innings for Javier Assad inches
08:07now comes in to be facing Michael
08:09Bush who has got the big swiggy in
08:11this game Chapman tough play and not
08:15a problem Wow Bush is thrown out
08:18Kevin almost ended up in his own
08:21dugout I was just wondering how he
08:23was going to get off a throw
08:24because it was going to be such a
08:25tough angle I mean he's going hard
08:27towards the line and he throws a
08:28one hopper and a nice high back
08:30hander on the back end of the
08:32roughy Devers to gather it up this
08:34is just a tough play fun though
08:37Giants had that crazy come from
08:39behind win the other day against the
08:41Nationals when Eldridge at the walk
08:43off grand slam actually scored five
08:45in the bottom of the eighth and five
08:47in the bottom of the ninth hit to
08:48right hit well out of there he's got
08:54number five Buster Posey called it
08:57two weeks ago he thought that Eldridge's
09:00home runs are starting to come and
09:02that's what's happening watching his
09:05attacks right now they're worth
09:06waiting around for
09:08Giants have four hits tonight
09:11he's got three of them and that's the
09:13thing about this guy you know he is
09:14strong and at age 21 he knows he's
09:17strong he doesn't have to over swing
09:19to generate distance and he peered it
09:21a surprising number of fans have hung
09:24around to see how it turns out Casey
09:26Schmidt waiting for the 2-2 it's on the
09:28way swing and a miss Casey Schmidt is
09:31gone two away and then the nasty
09:33breaking ball slide piece down below
09:36the knees and now it's Devers 5-1
