00:01Trevor McDonald making start number eight, two, and three on the year.
00:054.15 ERA. Only three home runs and 39 innings pitched.
00:09And the wind's brisk. 15 mile per hour wind and you can see the swirl carries to left, left center,
00:14and center.
00:15It'll be Pete Crow Armstrong to lead things up.
00:18And this one lifted in the air out towards left center field.
00:21That's back at the wall. Out of here. First pitch of the game.
00:25Now, Pete Crow Armstrong dials long distance and it is one nothing.
00:30Cubs PCA number 12.
00:32How about that? First pitch of the ball game.
00:35It looked like a little slider that PCA was ready for.
00:38A slider that he's just trying to flop over for a breaking ball.
00:42Well, he gives up a home run and the first time that anybody's gotten a hit on it in the
00:45last three starts and it goes out of the ballpark.
00:47Wasn't waiting around on it.
00:49One to nothing.
00:50Cubs his 12th home run of the year for Armstrong.
00:53Three of the first four Cubs have reached.
00:55First and third one away.
00:57Here is Ian Hepp, half batting left handed.
00:59On the ground it could be a pair.
01:01That's one and two.
01:03And that's exactly what the doctor ordered.
01:06That ends the inning.
01:08Wow.
01:08Just like that.
01:09Ben Brown is the starter for the Cubs tonight.
01:12Big, tall, strong native of New York.
01:15Right hander.
01:16Be on the attack with your pitches.
01:19Just do the exact same thing he has been doing his last three starts.
01:22Now here is Bryce Eldridge.
01:24Three hit game last night.
01:25Line drive.
01:26Fair ball.
01:26That'll get into the corner.
01:28Tags off the 309 marker.
01:30Suzuki grabs it.
01:31Fires to second.
01:32Tag.
01:33Out in second.
01:35Seah Suzuki cuts down Eldridge and Seah continues to play outstanding right field defense.
01:43Well, I play some defense, boys.
01:44How about that?
01:45First Michael Bush and then Seah comes up and throws this rocket to second basing at Eldridge.
01:50There will be no challenge coming from the giant dugout.
01:53Perfectly played.
01:55Well, I was fun to watch.
01:56Good tag by Dansby.
01:58Ben Brown second.
01:59I just got to throw it over and let the boys do their thing.
02:01A couple of rockets and he's got two outs and nobody on.
02:04This one to left.
02:07And Schmidt is out.
02:09Not exactly popping him up.
02:10No, that's that.
02:11Nico Horner leads it off for the Cubs.
02:13And that is in their strike three call.
02:16So Horner called out on strikes and he's challenged that call.
02:20So, and I think he's going to lose.
02:22He was wrong.
02:23It was a strike right on the outside edge.
02:25Ramirez switch hitter batting left handed.
02:28High fly ball drilled left center field.
02:30Gilbert racing back.
02:32Looking.
02:32That'll take a bounce and hop up against the wall.
02:35Ramirez into second.
02:37And it's a one out double.
02:39Well, that was a theme in last night's ball game.
02:41Cubs banged out four or five doubles plus the Bush home run.
02:44More slugging here tonight.
02:45Home run and now two doubles.
02:47Drives this ball to the wall.
02:49One out doubles.
02:50That's a shot there for Miguel Amaya.
02:53Hit the center field.
02:54Gilbert got a good jump.
02:56Put it away.
02:57Two down.
02:58Now it's going to be up to Dansby Swanson.
03:01Now a check swing.
03:02Did he go?
03:02Yes.
03:03On a Pino.
03:04A swing and the inning is over.
03:07Ben Brown working on Raphael Devers.
03:09And he rockets this one down the line.
03:12And he and it sticks.
03:14And that's a ground rule double.
03:16Not that Devers was going to head to third.
03:18But Giants finally hit the ball hard and get rewarded.
03:21Devers in second.
03:23The Giants trailing one to nothing.
03:24And here is Jung Hu Lee.
03:27High fly ball out towards right center field.
03:30Suzuki waiting on it.
03:32Makes the catch.
03:33And here's the throw towards third.
03:35Offline Devers moves up to 90 feet.
03:39So with one out.
03:40A man at third.
03:41And it'll bring up Willie Adamas.
03:43Here's a fly ball.
03:44Shallow center.
03:45Not very deep.
03:46Horner going out and calling.
03:47Grabbing.
03:48And quickly throws toward the plate.
03:50Holding at third is Devers.
03:52Chapman a 260 hitter.
03:53Nothing for two last night.
03:55Swing and a miss.
03:56That's actually foul tipped into the mid of Amaya.
03:59Struck him out.
04:01And Brown pitches around.
04:02A leadoff double.
04:04Top of the order.
04:05Pete Crowe Armstrong standing in against Trevor McDonald.
04:08PCA pulls that one to right.
04:10Fair ball.
04:11And that'll kick and bang off the sidewalk.
04:14PCA racing for second.
04:16And he dies in with a double.
04:17A leadoff two bagger.
04:20And Pete Crowe Armstrong continues to stay red hot.
04:24He's got a 17 game on base streak.
04:27And over the last 13 inning well over 400.
04:30Bregman hits one in the air to left.
04:32Going back on it Schmidt.
04:33He will make the catch.
04:35Crowe Armstrong is going to tag and test him.
04:37Here comes the throw.
04:38The tag by Chapman is late.
04:41The throw is just a little bit off line.
04:44And Crowe Armstrong very aggressive base running.
04:47Bush gets on.
04:48Cubs have met at the corners with one away for Seah Suzuki.
04:52Drilled line drive.
04:53Base hit left field.
04:55In to score is PCA.
04:57Stopping at second as Bush.
04:59Seah has now hit in ten in a row.
05:02And the Cubs lead 2-0.
05:03It might be a little early to sing happy days are here again.
05:06But positive signs from this Cubs lineup.
05:08Now he in Colorado last night.
05:10Now tonight putting some really good swings together.
05:12So Suzuki comes through.
05:14And now two are aboard for Ian Happ.
05:17Wrapped into a double play his first time.
05:20Adamus.
05:21Can he do it again?
05:22That's one.
05:23And that's all they've got.
05:25It's first and third.
05:26Two down.
05:27That's in the dirt.
05:28And it's thrown into center.
05:30Everybody's safe.
05:31And coming in to score.
05:33Michael Bush tiptoeing around Haas's mask.
05:38And that is just a blown play by everybody on the Giants side.
05:42Nobody covered Haas.
05:44For some reason thought throwing through was the best idea.
05:48The number eight hitter hitting 2-26 gets the free ride before Eric Haas bats.
05:53Fly ball right field.
05:55And Suzuki in and towards the line.
05:57Seiya makes the catch.
05:59What a play.
06:00Seiya Suzuki steals a hit.
06:03And it certainly would have been extra bases if it got past a great play by Seiya.
06:08Yeah I'll say man he's been a number of outstanding plays here in recent days.
06:11Remember over in Japan with Hiroshima.
06:14He won their award as a top defender.
06:18The Golden Glove.
06:19He won it five times.
06:20Won away and a man stood first.
06:23And Luis Arise.
06:24Ripped to right.
06:26Suzuki back.
06:27Off the bricks.
06:29And it comes way away from Armstrong.
06:33Here comes Gilbert.
06:35He scores.
06:37And Arise has got a booming triple.
06:41And a 13 game hit streak.
06:43It has been our pleasure watching this guy swing the bat this year.
06:46Is that a fact.
06:47The Giants have first and third with still only one out.
06:50And Casey Schmidt who lined out to left his first time up.
06:54Swing and a miss.
06:55Struck him out.
06:56Schmidt is gone.
06:57And a huge strikeout.
07:00Schmidt can't help himself.
07:01It's just smart pitching when you get a guy up there with a man on third base
07:05in an RBI situation.
07:06Got to be careful with this guy right here.
07:09Big power.
07:10Devers.
07:10Struck him out.
07:12Ben Brown.
07:14Overpowers Raphael Devers.
07:16And the Giants leave a couple.
07:19And that will load the bags for Michael Bush.
07:22Now the Giants manager comes out to make a pitching change.
07:25Very disappointing I'm sure for Trevor McDonald.
07:28Ninety two pitches three and two thirds.
07:30Raver San Martin.
07:32A left-hander inheriting a jam.
07:34Bags loaded two down.
07:36Michael Bush at the plate.
07:38Lefty against lefty.
07:40Little bit low and he walked in.
07:43In comes Swanson.
07:44And it's 4-1.
07:46Heck of a plate appearance by Michael Bush.
07:49But they have a run in.
07:51And the bases are still loaded for Sayah Suzuki.
07:53Strike three call.
07:54Suzuki wanted to challenge.
07:57Cubs don't have one.
07:58That finally retires his side.
08:01Bring up Matt Chapman who's been so hot himself.
08:03Struck out his first time up tonight.
08:05Fly ball right field.
08:07Shiloh Seah coming on.
08:09And he can't get it.
08:11And I think he might have twisted his knee out there.
08:14Let's get a trainer out here and take a look back at that right knee.
08:17He's coming out of the game.
08:18He's walking off under his own power.
08:21It's not a bad limp.
08:23But you get the feeling he doesn't feel great.
08:26I mean Sayah's been playing the heck out of right field here.
08:29Yep.
08:29Comes with a 4-1 lead over the Giants.
08:31Ian Happ at the plate.
08:32Ian Happ has 15 home runs.
08:34That is Happ.
08:35Left field.
08:37Way back.
08:38And goes.
08:38Ian Happ will touch him all.
08:40Happ with number 16.
08:42And it is 5-1 as he unloads the left field.
08:46Most of his damage comes from the left side of the plate.
08:48But every now and then he'll get into one as a right handed hitter.
08:51And absolutely demolish it.
08:53A 404 foot blast for Ian Happ.
08:58Exit velocity 104 miles per hour.
09:01He got all of that one.
09:02Pedro Ramirez.
09:04Right handed hitter.
09:05Has doubled.
09:06Fly ball center field.
09:08That's pretty well struck.
09:09That's back.
09:10And gone.
09:12Pedro Ramirez will touch him all.
09:14His first big league homer.
09:17And the Cubs.
09:18With two homers in the inning.
09:21And now lead it 6-1.
09:23Kind of interesting right.
09:24Ramirez got the start tonight with McDonald on the mound.
09:27Craig probably want to put as many left handed bats in there as possible.
09:31He turns around to the right side like half.
09:34And delivers the long ball off the lefty.
09:36What a moment for that kid.
09:37That ball is juiced.
09:39Pugs.
09:39The gauntlet of love.
09:41Now the Giants have men at first and second with two away.
09:44Jung-Hoo Lee will hit.
09:46Tommy Hardaby going to the mound.
09:47He's going to have a little chat.
09:49Because this is one of those moments of the game now with Lee at the plate.
09:52You know one swing and a bat and it gets the Giants right back into the ball.
09:56Up the middle.
09:57Swanson is there waiting.
09:58Steady's and throws.
10:00And Ben Brown gets out of it.
10:03Two men on.
10:04Two down.
10:05Eighth inning.
10:05Cubs trying to blow it wide open.
10:07Already leading 6-1.
10:09Now see if Happer can cap the night off with something good.
10:12He homered in the fifth inning.
10:14Got him.
10:15Doesn't matter.
10:15The medal in the inning.
10:17All right.
10:18Time to do a little work.
10:19Now the Giants are down to their last chance.
10:22Luis Arise is the batter.
10:24Up the middle.
10:26Swanson gathers it in.
10:28And throws him out.
10:29And that's your ball game.
10:30Cubs win.
10:30All right.
10:31Flip that narrative.
10:32No longer are we talking about seven wins in 29 games or whatever it was.
10:36In consecutive wins.
10:37Guys starting to relax a little bit.
10:39Chance for a sweep.
10:41Tomorrow won't be easy though.
