00:22Live from Yankee Stadium in the Bronx,
00:26the show brings you a matchup of division rivals.
00:28It's the Tampa Bay Rays taking on the New York Yankees.
00:36First pitch coming your way next.
00:43And going to the mound in this one for the Yankees,
00:46Garrett Cole.
00:47Singing he's been outstanding and should be fun to watch.
00:51Well, when you have a guy that can limit the opponent
00:53to very little run production,
00:55you have a great chance to win a ball game when he takes the mound.
00:58He's just having an outstanding season so far.
01:01You hope he can maintain it because if he can,
01:03he'll be in a nice conversation at the end of the year.
01:07Chandler Simpson, the leadoff batter as he looks at ball one.
01:15And a ground ball to first.
01:19Tosses to the pitcher covering the bag.
01:22Barely got him for the out close play.
01:24All right, let's take a look at the Rays lineup.
01:27Batting third a guy they're looking for a little more out of right now.
01:30Jonathan Arunda.
01:41Man, that pitch was dotted.
01:43So much talent on display.
01:44And this guy's out there on the hill.
01:52And a foul ball.
01:56Here in the Bronx, just getting settled into this one.
02:02Comes up empty as he chases that one in the dirt.
02:06Ow.
02:07Two away now after the dropped third strike.
02:10That's a pretty nasty pitch right there.
02:12I'd call it a power curve ball in the eighties.
02:15It's got so much spin on it and you really don't have a lot of time to sit back
02:18and watch what it's going to do before you have to commit.
02:21It was a good strikeout.
02:22Jonathan Arunda stands in with two away as he takes a ball.
02:32Cole, more than a hundred career wins on the mound.
02:36A former first round pick back in 2011.
02:41Back to the mound.
02:42He's got it.
02:44In plenty of time to first.
02:46That ends the inning.
02:47And now the Yankees will see what they can do.
02:50No score.
02:51You're watching Yankees baseball on the show, NYC.
03:00Back in the Bronx.
03:01And towing the slab in this one, Griffin Jacks.
03:05Chris, it's a little more common these days, but still, he's a strikeout per inning type of guy.
03:11Well, I hear you about the strikeouts.
03:12A lot more guys striking out today.
03:15But when you consider having the ability to get that strikeout, particularly when you need it.
03:19A man on third, less than two outs.
03:21Situations where, yeah, maybe you're not a real high strikeout guy, but just knowing you have the swing and miss
03:27stuff in a big spot.
03:28I think it's real critical and he's got it.
03:35Gets him to chase after that one.
03:43Let's go Yankees!
03:44Let's go Yankees!
03:47Let's go Yankees!
04:03stand yeah he just hasn't been himself at all lately I mean it's hard to know if it's mechanical
04:09it's mental it's just a struggle all the way around it's something that everybody goes through
04:14I think the key is you've got to stick to the process you've got to focus on every pitch
04:19and don't worry about the result take it one pitch at a time one at bat at a time
04:24fouled off left side
04:29one two bottom of the first pitch battling here as he fouls it away
04:38strike three and that's two in a row well there appears to be no problem settling in
04:44on the mound out there today looks pretty tough to start this one punched out the
04:47first two hitters of this ballgame and somebody's gonna have to put the bat on
04:51the ball put it in play and get something going now it's gonna be Ben Rice and that'll
04:57fall for a base hit
05:03that when you flare a ball out behind second base it's really a tough spot for
05:07anyone to get to it you're never trying to do that as a hitter but when you do I
05:12tell you what you're yelling at it the entire way to get down rice the runner at
05:18first with two gone to account you really don't want to give in here you've got to
05:24work the edges really execute a pitch hopefully you can get back into this
05:28count
05:37that one misses three balls in a stride
05:45that clips the corner three two two out runner on first a lot of movement in the infield hitters got
05:51to stay focused on the pitch and ball four to a board
05:59now here's john carlos stanton he really needs to start making more contact striking out nearly twice in each of
06:06the last five games
06:13ball one day
06:14ball one day
06:19this one's real right center field that one
06:23heading for the fence and
06:25gone
06:29john carlos stanton blasts one out to the opposite way
06:33it's his eighth home run of the year the yankees score first it's three nothing
06:40maybe he's starting to break out of this mini slow that's the type of swing that
06:43makes you think good things are coming his way
06:46that's an impressive swing of the bat to go over the wall to the opposite field gap and
06:51you know there are a lot of guys that just don't have the pop to do that and probably just
06:55as many
06:55who don't have the approach either he let that ball travel and he got a great extension on the follow
07:00-through to drive it out of here
07:02ground ball right side
07:05lux throws the first in time and that is that
07:09john carlos stanton flexing that big time power swing
07:13one inning in the books here this is yankees baseball on the show
07:18and one
07:20we move ahead to the top of the second now and stepping in for the rays junior camonero
07:29a three-o lead is great but you can't get too comfortable gotta stay aggressive
07:33keep attacking hitters try to cruise through this ball game
07:37in the air right field judge has a beat on it stretches out and hauls it in
07:43gotta love the over the shoulder catch to tell you what those are really fun to make
08:08this one's got a chance and it's off the foul pole for a home run
08:23that fastball wasn't even in the zone and he was still able to hit it out wow
08:29well he really crushed that thing down the line and everyone had to hold their breath until it clanked
08:35off the pole and every time that happens it just kind of feels like a trick shot or something but
08:39really it's just a stroke of luck that it stays fair long enough
08:43here's david lux to hit
08:55swing and a ground ball off the middle that's a base hit
08:58swing and that'll bring their tying run to the plate batting seven catcher nick for 10
09:25comes up empty that strike two when you throw a fastball by a guy like that i imagine it's gotta
09:31feel incredible look for him to throw it again at some point
09:34cold checks over to first and he's back
09:43now one out to right
09:48he's got it and there's two down
09:55batting eight center fielder johnny deluca here's the center fielder johnny deluca
10:09right through there for a strike
10:13lux off the first with two away
10:20got him to chase one above the zone there the high fastball particularly for young hitters can be hard
10:27to lay off of because you see it so well at eye level but it's really hard to catch up
10:32and get that top
10:32hand to work on time that's the ball
10:44got him out number three
10:48the rays creep closer thanks to the homer it's now a 3-1 ball game it's an al east matchup
10:56here on mlb the show
11:02bottom of the inning and stepping in for the yankees jose caballero
11:14well you got to find a way to catch up to that pitch perhaps shorten the swing eliminate
11:19the stride that one came in hot but right down the middle you're saying yourself how did i miss
11:24that pitch got to make a quick adjustment
11:38and now two and two fouls it back with two strikes now this is a good time to step out
11:45of the box take
11:46a deep breath reset a couple of change-ups probably won't see another one here popped up left side
11:53and there's one down batting eight third baseman jc
12:07there's a swing and a drive that's got a chance and it one hops the wall
12:15the relay in there safely a swing like that can help you come out of the struggle we saw the
12:22numbers
12:22coming into the ball game and all he's trying to do at this point is help his team win
12:28one out runner at second ali sanchez the next to hit pitches in there going one
12:40fastball for a strike
12:47swings through it and that's a strikeout make quick work of him right there siggy
12:51i know that's the kind of a bat maybe leaves a lot of fans wondering what was he doing up
12:55there right
12:56yeah and i get that i mean you take two straight strikes then chase one way out of the zone
13:01it's
13:01it's just not a good at bat it'll leave you shaking your head as a hitter if not worse but
13:05there's always going to be those trips to the plate where you're just lost up there hitting over
13:11one left for the yankees as the lead remains 3-1
13:19welcome back and coming off a series where the pitching was outstanding we take a look at those numbers
13:34no that's a ball we're expecting to see strikeouts in this one cole is in the 2000 strikeout club and
13:40only needed around 1700 innings to get there you know only chris sale and pedro martinez needed fewer
13:46innings to reach 2000 strikeouts
13:53to the right side chisholm
13:57and one away in the top of the third
14:01now batting left fielder number 14
14:13that's in there strike one fell impressed that he went right after him on that first pitch
14:18that's the key try to get ahead in the count and you can play around a little bit more as
14:22the bat expands
14:31and that one ripped to left
14:34belliger takes it in for the out two down up next for tampa bay the designated hitter jandy diaz
14:42two down bases empty yandy diaz next to hit for the raves 0-1 so far
15:08high fly ball lifted in the year right field and that is that
15:15raves go in order one two three score holds it's three one
15:23ready to go for the last half of the inning and stepping in for the yankees aaron judge
15:29check swing and he went that's strike one
15:36next offering is foul back
15:40going to now
15:44oh great stop fires to first and they get the out
15:52up next for the yankees
15:55first baseman
16:09hit hard but foul off to the left
16:18fights that one away and the count remains 0-2
16:26drilled out towards left center field that's well struck carrying well
16:31and gone
16:34his fourth hole run of the season and they take one on the board it's 4-1
16:50no matter how this outing ends that pitch is going to haunt him for a while an 0-2 mistake
16:56that's
16:56supposed to be a pitch out of the zone he left it in the spot that the hitter could do
17:00some damage
17:00with and that's exactly what he did
17:06one out bases empty and a run in here in the last half of the third in the air left
17:12field
17:13and that's a fair ball takes the turn he's digging for second and he'll pull into second safely
17:21he needed out one it's been a tough stretch at the plate lately got a fastball middle of the plate
17:26jumped all over it absolutely smoked that ball
17:31stand in the box now take strike one
17:38out to short balls
17:41throws to first and they take care of stanton for the out
17:46up next for the yankees he's on for one
17:56he doesn't get a knock right here that pitch he just took is going to eat at him for a
18:01while
18:01you might not see another pitch like that from a top level guy like this
18:08runner at second two down here in game one of this three game set
18:14a really good take especially with two strikes
18:20and that's the strikeout looking inning over and it could have been worse the yanks do get one on the
18:27solo homer it's now 4-1 major league baseball is on the show
18:35star to the fourth and stepping in for the rays jonathan aranda
18:44well these rays just lacking discipline at the plate in this ball game so many of their outs have
18:49come from weak contact on pitches they're chasing outside of the strike zone you can't do much of
18:54anything with those locations and that's been true again today
18:59one down and as a pitcher when the hitters are swinging at everything you feel no need to challenge
19:04inside the zone you just keep working the corners and expanding that strike zone and beyond and they
19:10just keep eating right out of your hand
19:16in for a strike good slider he scored more runs than anyone else in his team so far this year
19:22chris
19:25hit on the ground to the right side and that's just foul
19:33the 0-2
19:37knocks that one away and we'll do it again
19:42yankees up by three top half of inning number four
19:48that misses and the count is one and two
19:57on the ground to the left the scara
20:01to first great pick they get out number two on a tough play
20:07two out space is empty and now the right fielder jake fraley one for one so far today with a
20:13solo homer
20:13in his first at bat and ball one
20:24now fly ball to right center
20:28grisham on the move and he hauls it in
20:31offense held a check there to the bottom of inning number four now the yankees
20:38back here at the ballpark let's check out the latest news from around the league
20:49you know these yankees showing great discipline at the plate and patience definitely seems to be the name of their
20:56game in this one
20:57pitch count is pretty high and they've played it four runs already so i think it's safe to say
21:02their game plan is working out pretty well right now got him swinging well you see him trying to
21:07pull that inside pitch right there and that's not the kind of approach that you want to have even if
21:12you do get to it it's going to be very difficult to keep it fair you're just going to make
21:16it a long
21:17strike at best you have to be able to stay within the baseball on the inside of that path to
21:22it
21:22and that way if you're a little quick the ball gets hit hard somewhere and it's not foul brings it
21:28in
21:29that's out number two
21:32and here's a look at how he's using his pitches in this one
21:36catcher ali sanchez so digging in ali sanchez
21:45on the ground
21:48tosses the first three up three down ending over the yankees four the rays one
21:58we go to the top of the fifth and stepping in for the rays gavin lux
22:06that one misses ball one
22:15for you growing up in new york city being your big sports fan tell me about your experience with
22:21the yankees growing up i really went to shea stadium more than i did to yankee stadium i grew
22:26up a phillies fan there was one game though that i went to as a kid i sat in the
22:31upper deck it was the
22:32game that bo jackson hit three homers in his first three plate appearances and then hurt a shoulder
22:39diving for deon sanders inside the park home run that's probably the most memorable game that i ever
22:45attended as a fan at old yankee stadium
22:51the 1-0
22:54swing and a liner base hit out of the right center field
22:59and they have their first base runner since the second inning
23:05up next for tampa bay here's the center fielder johnny deluca he was a strikeout victim his first time
23:27up next for tampa bay shortstop taylor wall
23:46that one finds the zone that's strike one well in this situation with runners on you've got to get
23:52ahead in the count so that you can dictate the rest of the at bat nice job right there way
23:58out front for
23:59strike two
24:06keeps the effect going with a foul ball
24:14two on one out
24:25strike three on the foul to go bro go tell you when he goes to look at the video that
24:30pitch he's
24:30going to want to punch himself that slider had hit me ridden all over it and clearly he just got
24:36a
24:36little too excited it was out in front tell you what when you get a pitch like that you cannot
24:40miss it
24:41always have a chance to go a long way at the play chandler simpson
24:46getting going to the first pitch look down to third and that's going to be ruled the swing
24:54two on two outs out towards right center field grisham settles under this one and that is that
25:04one hit one error in the inning but they wind up leaving two last half of the fifth coming up
25:10here at new yankee stadium in the bronx here's the yankees lead off hitter trent grisham
25:17that's out the corner
25:22right through there for a strike
25:29now a rip into left center and that's got extra bases written all over it
25:37and it's a lead off double to start the bottom of the fifth
25:43well here we are third time through the order and this is where we see the ops
25:48jump on manager might have to go to the Brooklyn a little bit sooner than he anticipated
25:56just a slow ground ball this time camonero fires over to first one pitch and one out
26:07so on thanks for new york bren rice he's already homer here in this one
26:12right nope that's the way
26:24hot shot to third the throw to first two away
26:31up next for the yankees
26:48he swings and fouls one off
26:58now a bullet to second base but he's got it to end the inning
27:02the yanks leave one but they lead it four to one
27:10welcome back as we look at the highlights from today's game so far
27:23oh
27:44Yandy Diaz digs in now.
27:47The designated hitter, Yandy Diaz.
28:00He's pitching well, but not throwing a ton of first pitch strike.
28:09Usually doesn't work out for success, but you can never predict baseball.
28:15In the air to left center, Bellinger moving under it.
28:19One up, one down.
28:24Up next for Tampa Bay, first baseman, Jonathan Aranda.
28:34Fastball for a strike.
28:35And it's 0-1.
28:45That one ripped right center field.
28:48And it one-offs the wall.
28:53Grisham gets it back in quickly.
28:55And they hold him at second.
28:56Maybe this is going to be the moment they start to come back.
29:01Loud contact leads to the double.
29:03I mean, you could tell it had extra bases written all over it as it jumped off of his stick.
29:09One out.
29:11Runner at second.
29:12Junior Caminero next to hit for the Rays.
29:16And that misses.
29:18Ball one.
29:28Definitely a frustrating day for the offense.
29:31But when they look at it, this guy's had his best stuff.
29:34Painting the corners, working on the edges and changing speeds.
29:37Just a difficult one.
29:38You tip your cap.
29:41One out.
29:42The runner at second.
29:43And we're in the top half of the sixth.
29:50High fly ball.
29:52Right field.
29:53Judge under it.
29:55He's there.
29:56He's got it.
29:57Runner tags at second.
29:59And the throws off line.
30:01Safe at third.
30:03Up next for Tampa Bay, right fielder, Jake Fraley.
30:16There's a strike.
30:17The Yankees with some action in their pen.
30:20Fernando Cruz, the hard-throwing righty, is up and loosening.
30:23Blackburn getting cranked up as well.
30:27He'll one.
30:30And there's a foul ball.
30:34Aranda at third with two away.
30:42That one back up the middle and it gets through.
30:45In to score from third.
30:47It's an RBI single.
30:49And they cut the lead to two.
30:51Well, that gets them a little closer in this one.
30:54Really nice job staying up the middle with his approach.
30:56He didn't try to do too much with the pitch.
30:58Just shot it through the infield.
31:00Two outs runner at first.
31:02Now, Gavin Lux.
31:04Way inside.
31:05Gets out of the way.
31:15Swing and a ball.
31:16Hit out towards left center field.
31:18Grisham on the move.
31:20And he hauls it in.
31:22So, one run in the inning on this base hit.
31:25It's now 4-2.
31:27It's an AL East matchup here on MLB The Show.
31:33Now pitching for Tampa Bay.
31:34Back down for the bottom of the six.
31:36Number 59.
31:36And there's a new pitcher on the mound.
31:37Mason Engler.
31:39Just trying to keep this one close here.
31:41And this is where a bullpen can give their players a chance to fight back into the game.
31:45Giancarlo Stanton at the plate.
31:47He's done some damage.
31:48Launched a homer at his first at bat back in the first.
31:51Yeah, that was a tone setter.
31:52No doubt.
31:53I mean, you can stomach an early solo homer.
31:55But a three-run shot just doesn't go down quite as smooth.
32:10There's the strike of the knees.
32:12He'll challenge.
32:13Thought that was a ball.
32:15And that one did miss.
32:17And the strike is overturned.
32:20Still two challenges left for them.
32:25The 1-0.
32:28Well, that's really the money spot.
32:30Down and away.
32:31If you can locate that consistently, it's going to be real tough for hitters to square that up.
32:35That's what you love to see relievers do coming out of that bullpen.
32:39Late on that fastball.
32:48Cuts and misses.
32:49It's a strikeout.
32:55Up next for the Yankees, left fielder, Cody Zellinger.
33:13Into center.
33:16Makes the grab on the run.
33:18Two way down.
33:20Up next for the Yankees, the shortstop, Jose.
33:24So up next, Jose Caballero.
33:27Three-pitch strikeout last time up.
33:30Got to put up more of a fight in this one.
33:33All one.
33:41On the ground, right side.
33:43And that one handled to first.
33:45It short hops in, but a nice pick for out number three.
33:49So the Yanks go in order as they can't add to their 4-2 lead.
33:56Welcome back.
33:57We're in the seventh.
33:58We have a new pitcher on the mound.
33:59Paul Blackburn.
34:00And one thing on him.
34:02He's been really good this season at keeping the ball in the park.
34:05Not an easy guy to take deep.
34:17Well, we call that key holding.
34:20Even though it's right there and looks pretty good, if he doesn't love it, he's not gonna swing that early
34:24in the count.
34:30Thumbs up empty.
34:31Man, that was pretty gross right there.
34:34Blackburn.
34:35It is seventh season.
34:3632 years old.
34:38He joined the team as a free agent.
34:40Fouled off.
34:41And they'll do it again.
34:48Here's the 0-2.
34:51Swing and a ground ball up the middle.
34:53Fires to first on the run.
34:55Nicely done for the out.
34:57Up next for Tampa Bay.
34:59Center fielder Johnny DeLuca.
35:30And a 1-1.
35:33Foul ball there.
35:40And a 1-2.
35:42Foul one almost got him.
35:48The Yanks up by two.
35:50Here in the top half of inning number seven.
35:55And down on strikes.
35:57And two away to start the seventh.
35:59No, he throws him with the changeup right there.
36:01And I think he was so geared up for fastball.
36:04Once he recognized that it was off speed, he just wasn't able to make an adjustment.
36:08So a really good strikeout.
36:10And the pitcher just won the battle.
36:13Walsh.
36:14In the box again.
36:15Takes a strike.
36:24He swings and hits a fly ball.
36:26Center field.
36:27That one gets down for a hit.
36:29And that'll bring the tying run to the plate.
36:32Well, he waited until the seventh.
36:34But that's the knock that'll extend his hitting streak.
36:37Singy, how much does it weigh on your mind when you're coming to the plate in the late innings with
36:41a streak going?
36:42Yeah, quite a bit.
36:43And a hitter's supposed to say he's only focused on the current at bat.
36:47But man, honestly, it's hard not to know that if you don't come up with a hit, your streak's over.
36:52So it's there at least in the back of your mind.
37:02Now pitching for the new pitcher for the Yankees, Fernando Cruz.
37:07Well, he's been a really tough guy to take deep this season.
37:10You usually have to string some hits together in order to get to him.
37:20And immediately pumps in a strike to the left handed hitter.
37:25Walls off of first with two away.
37:31Quick toss first.
37:33Walls back in on a dive.
37:46And that one fouled off.
37:56The tying run at the plate.
38:14Swing and a miss.
38:16And he's down on strikes.
38:18And the inning is over.
38:20The Rays strand just the one.
38:22Still down by a count of four to two.
38:27Welcome back.
38:28Taking a look at our game summer.
38:32And the lack of that can truly hurt you.
38:40And first off ring is fouled off.
38:59Recognize that changeup right out of the hand.
39:01Just spit on it.
39:06Fights that one away.
39:08Still one and two.
39:17Gets a piece there.
39:18We'll do it again.
39:27Swing and a high fly ball right field.
39:30That one back.
39:30That one on its way.
39:31And it's gone.
39:34He blasts a souvenir into the second deck.
39:38His second of the year.
39:39And they add on.
39:41It's 5-2.
39:43And that shot makes their grip on the lead even tighter.
39:49Well, they put a really nice swing on that one.
39:52And everything was on time.
39:54Took a direct path to the ball.
39:56Excellent extension.
39:57And just drove it out of here.
39:59Nothing better than when the ball jumps off your bat like that.
40:05He's got to delete it.
40:06You give up that lead off home run.
40:08Go back to work.
40:09Focus on this next batter.
40:12Swing and a miss.
40:13And that's strike two.
40:17Good job to fight that one off.
40:23Nobody on.
40:24Nobody out with a run in here.
40:26The bottom of the seventh.
40:36Swing and a ground ball.
40:38And foul ball.
40:49Popped up to the left.
40:51Into foul ground.
40:53Has room.
40:54And he makes the catch.
40:58Up next for the Yankees.
41:01Center fielder.
41:04Trent Grisham.
41:07Back to the top of the order.
41:09Now it's Trent Grisham to the plate.
41:12And first offering is fouled off.
41:29The 1-1 is fouled off.
41:39And it's fouled off.
41:40They'll do it again.
41:47The 1-2.
41:49Sharp grounder.
41:51That's through for a base hit.
41:53So they get a man aboard with a one-out single.
41:58Up next for the Yankees.
42:01Right fielder.
42:03And shine.
42:16Oh.
42:23And that is out of play.
42:29The 1-1.
42:32Judge takes a strike.
42:34Good approach right there.
42:35You want to get something just a little higher that you can elevate.
42:38Stand on that double play.
42:39Swing and a miss.
42:41Swing and a miss.
42:41And he struck him out.
42:43Now two out.
42:44First thing.
42:45Next to hit.
42:46Penn Rice.
42:47He's already homered in this game.
42:57One-two.
42:58One-two.
43:11Now.
43:13Yeah, they'll do it again.
43:23That's awfully close.
43:24I don't know how you take that.
43:25He's seeing the ball out of the pitcher's hand really well right now.
43:30High fly ball down the left field line.
43:33Way back there.
43:35That was foul.
43:36And he'll see another.
43:40Two-two down.
43:43Browns one to short.
43:45Walls.
43:46Sends it to first.
43:48That's the inning.
43:51Solo Homer extends the Yankees lead.
43:54It's 5-2.
44:03We're at the top of the eight.
44:05Yandy Diaz now.
44:06One of the best bats in the league.
44:15Season, Siggy.
44:16Yeah, line drives.
44:17Gap to gap.
44:18He's doing it all, bird.
44:19Those extra base hits are just piling up.
44:23Drag.
44:24Well, it's critical right here that they bear down and turn in some quality at bats.
44:28Try to chip away at that lead because if it gets to the ninth, that closer's coming in.
44:35This one in the air center field.
44:37Grisham on his way over.
44:39One away.
44:41Up next for Tampa Bay.
44:44First baseman, Jonathan Aranda.
45:03He doesn't always grab headlines but is essential to everything this team does.
45:09Yeah, you said it, Boog.
45:10Reliability like that is gold over 162.
45:14Navia one.
45:16Ripped in the right center.
45:18Should be extra bases.
45:20Around first, heading for two.
45:24In safely.
45:25It's a double.
45:26And his second hit.
45:28Two hits for him in this one.
45:29Both for extra bases.
45:30Got to feel good about that.
45:32Now that sets up a huge at bat in this ball game.
45:37And next will be the cleanup hitter.
45:39Junior Caminero.
45:410 for 3 in this one.
45:44No, that's a ball.
45:56Fouls went off out of play.
45:57Back to our left.
45:59Cruz.
46:00He's kind of a prototypical bullpen arm in today's game.
46:04Electric stuff.
46:04That results in a ton of strikeouts.
46:07In a tough spot like this, that is a big time benefit.
46:23As a hitter, when a guy like this comes into the game, you feel like he's standing on top of
46:28you.
46:28And it's just attack mode coming right at you, expecting to get a swing and dance.
46:34Slides, but he can't come up with it.
46:37Into third now.
46:38So runners at the corners and one out.
46:42Up next for Tampa Bay, right fielder Jake Fraley.
46:54That one finds the corner.
46:55That's strike one.
47:07In the air out to center.
47:10And a superb diving catch.
47:13Runner tags from third.
47:15Runner from third.
47:16Into score.
47:17And they cut the lead to two.
47:19Yeah, just a great effort out there to track that one down and bring it in on the dive.
47:23Awesome effort to get at least one out.
47:26Yeah, a run comes across to score as he tagged from third.
47:28But it could have easily been a lot worse if that ball drops.
47:32Manager out of the dugout and he's going to make a change.
47:36Fernando Cruz.
47:37Won't go any further.
47:38Two run ball game as he heads for the dugout.
47:41And we'll be back with a new pitcher.
48:01So they bring on their closer in the eighth.
48:04David Benton.
48:05Well, good luck against this guy.
48:07He's been extremely tough to hit this year.
48:09His numbers are excellent.
48:12And now it's Gavin Lux.
48:19The Rays with the tying run at the plate.
48:22And we're at the top of the eighth.
48:26High fly ball out to center field.
48:28Christian should have this one.
48:31And that'll do it.
48:35So they pick up a run on two hits.
48:37No errors and a man left.
48:39Home half of inning number eight straight ahead.
48:44Back down.
48:45New pitcher on the mound as we roll into the bottom of the eighth.
48:48Ian Seymour.
48:49This guy's a strike thrower.
48:51He's done an excellent job of avoiding walks so far this season.
48:58Cutting but missing down low.
49:03I think that pitch surprised all of us.
49:06Right down the middle.
49:07Doesn't get a swing.
49:08Very often you see a hitter lay off a cookie like that.
49:28It stays alive.
49:362-2 down.
49:47Spoils the two strike pitch and he'll see another.
49:52The 2-2.
49:53And that's downed away.
50:03Now to short.
50:05Walls.
50:07That was a strong at bat.
50:09Even though he couldn't find a way on base.
50:14And now it's John Carlos Stanton.
50:32Field two.
50:34Goes down looking.
50:42Up next for the Yankees.
50:44Left fielder.
50:46Cody Bellinger.
50:49That's a ball.
50:50Went with the sweeper.
50:54Jack Swain called strike.
50:56And one and one.
51:02Foul ball.
51:06Two down.
51:07Nobody on.
51:08Here the bottom half of the eighth inning.
51:11Got him looking.
51:12Yankee.
51:13That was pretty nasty.
51:151-2-3.
51:16Go the Yankees.
51:17And it remains 5-3.
51:23Back at Yankee Stadium.
51:25We go to the ninth.
51:27Nick Fortes.
51:28Now at the plate.
51:34And that's in there at the knees for a strike.
51:48And one fouled off.
51:57Goes down looking for the strikeout.
52:00And a strikeout for the first out here in the ninth.
52:04Well I think that's a case of overthinking right there.
52:07You got three straight fastballs looking in the 0-2 count just to pour it back.
52:14So many hard throwing relievers in the game these days.
52:17You would think that hitters have made the adjustment.
52:19But I don't know if you ever get used to it.
52:21Just pumping gas out of the bullpen.
52:23So hard to play catch up.
52:28Yeah that's fouled off.
52:39The 0-2.
52:41Goes down swinging for the strikeout.
52:44Down to the last out for the raise.
52:46Throw that splitter out of the hand.
52:49It just sort of jumps on you.
52:50And your interpretation is here comes a fastball again.
52:54Well it never really reaches because the bottom falls out of it.
52:57And you swing over the top.
52:58And that's why they call it a split finger fastball.
53:01Because it looks like a four seamer.
53:08Two down.
53:09Nobody on.
53:11Lined in the left center.
53:13Should be extra bases.
53:18Safely into second.
53:20He's got a double.
53:22Showed a willingness to drive that pitch the opposite way.
53:25Didn't get jumpy.
53:26Didn't try to pull the ball.
53:27He let it get deep.
53:29Took the barrel right to it.
53:30And then extended through the swing for the line drive base hit.
53:33Now a huge at bat in this game coming up.
53:36Here's the left fielder.
53:38Chandler Simpson.
53:40That one finds the zone.
53:42Strike one.
53:52Swing and a high fly ball out there towards left field.
53:56He's got it.
53:57Ball game.
53:58The Yankees take the series opener here at home.
54:03Bill Summitt from the bullpen had to come in and get a big out.
54:06And then had a little time to think about it before he went back out to get the final three
54:10outs of this ball game.
54:11Nonetheless, outstanding job to get the save and secure the win for his team.
54:43for the small guy
54:44I don't think I'm gonna regret it when the car's flat
54:47Ain't nothing really
54:48like it used to
54:49Bring the neighbors up like a rooster
54:52It's a rooster, help me see the future
54:54I believe in karma
54:56So let's do some
54:58I know you cooped up
54:59I know that LA ain't running or call an Uber
55:01I know that LA weather got you confused
55:04But when you walk in my house
55:06Take your shoes up
55:07I let my chain swing
55:09I'm on a one-on-one, we're doing the same thing
55:13Rapping, boy
