00:21from inside Tropicana Field here in Tampa Bay,
00:25the show brings you a matchup of division rivals.
00:28It's the Boston Red Sox taking on the Tampa Bay Rays.
00:37First pitch coming at you right after the break.
00:48And on the hill today, Nick Martinez.
00:51Chris, what should we keep an eye on here with him?
00:54Well, last time out, he's only able to complete four innings, but really battled.
00:58Didn't have his best stuff.
00:59I look for him to be better in this one.
01:01All right, first pitch coming up.
01:04Jaron Duran digs in now.
01:11Worm burner into the outfield for a knock.
01:15So a man on base to start the inning.
01:18Didn't take long to get a result for that at bat.
01:20And now let's see if they force some action with good wheels on the bases.
01:26That one hammered, but pulled foul.
01:30Just underway from Tropicana Field.
01:35And that's in there for a strike and quickly nothing and two.
01:43Off the plate, ball one.
01:48Fights it off.
01:49He'll see another.
01:59In the dirt.
02:00Throw gets by him at second.
02:072-2 now.
02:10In the dirt.
02:153-2.
02:17Payoff pitch.
02:19That's ripped.
02:20Base hit.
02:21Lead runner touches second.
02:23Headed for third.
02:23And now runners at the corners.
02:25Nobody out.
02:28Other than ripping one into the gap or blasting one over the wall,
02:31there are a whole lot of hits that are more satisfying than a nice line drive in the center field.
02:36So that definitely felt good.
02:38Wilson Contreras in the box now.
02:41Takes strike one.
02:44And that one is lifted in the air.
02:46Mullins coming on.
02:48He's got it.
02:50Runner tags from third.
02:52The tag and he's out of the plate.
02:55And that's a double play.
03:04Ball match outside.
03:09That's a ball.
03:10He's just missing with some pitches that, I mean, those are, they're not strikes and that's what you think.
03:15Oh, good pitch is a strike, but so many times pitchers are trying to tease the zone.
03:19And the last two pitches that he's thrown.
03:21Good pitches, but even better takes.
03:25Hammer down the right side, but foul.
03:283-2.
03:29Two out.
03:29Runner on first.
03:30Lot of movement in the infield.
03:32Hitters got to stay focused on the pitch.
03:34So a walk.
03:35Puts runners at first and second.
03:37Trevor Story.
03:38Dangerous hitter at the plate.
03:39And Trevor Story.
03:41That one is absolutely belted.
03:43Carrying well.
03:45Out of here.
03:48Trevor Story bops one out of here.
03:51His seventh home run of the season.
03:58And it's fouled off.
04:03Two down.
04:04Nobody on.
04:06That one finds the zone.
04:08Go in two.
04:12Whoa!
04:13That's down.
04:19In the air to left center.
04:24And he misses it.
04:26It drops in.
04:27And he'll pull into second with two gone.
04:35And with two down, the Red Sox.
04:39The early lead.
04:40Seidan Raffaella.
04:42Up next for the Red Sox.
04:43And that is that.
04:52Ready to go for the last half of the inning.
04:54And getting the start for the Red Sox.
04:56Ranger Suarez.
04:58What's the scouting report on him?
05:00Boog.
05:00This guy usually turns in a very good outing.
05:03His teammates really enjoy when he's on the mound.
05:05Now, everyone seems to be loose, which can help the offense be a bit more dangerous.
05:10So, if you look at the opposing lineup, they're hoping he doesn't just settle in.
05:14They want to make this an uncomfortable start from the beginning.
05:18The 0-1.
05:22He swings and fouls one off.
05:27The 0-2.
05:31Slice the other way.
05:32That's a base hit.
05:35And the leadoff man aboard.
05:37Everything came together for him.
05:39Pretty much a model swing on that one as he ripped it into the opposite field gap.
05:43And I'm sure he's going to be watching that one back on video because that's the kind of swing you
05:47want to bother.
05:48So many positives that led to that knock.
05:50Jonathan Aranda stands in now and watches strike one.
05:58And there's a rocket into the outfield.
06:01Diaz.
06:02Round second on his way to third.
06:05Throw comes in.
06:06Runner stops.
06:07Second and third.
06:08Nobody out.
06:11Nice line drive to the pull side right there, but he didn't spin off of it.
06:15That's the key.
06:16You still have to extend through the baseball in order to hit a line drive like that.
06:20That pitch gets the corner.
06:220-1.
06:32Two in scoring position.
06:34Nobody out.
06:35You're in the third and final game of the series.
06:38On the ground right side.
06:41Meyer to first.
06:42One gone bottom half of the first.
06:44Well, you're definitely looking to do more with that opportunity at the plate.
06:48Two runners in scoring position.
06:49But at least he puts the ball in play.
06:51They bring across one run.
06:53Still one out there to pick up.
06:57Jake Fran in the box now.
06:59Take strike one.
07:05Swing and a miss.
07:07And it's 0-2.
07:08Tie a guy up like that.
07:09You're feeling like you are in command.
07:14Gets a piece.
07:15And stays alive.
07:16Red Sox already leading.
07:24Swing and a ground ball.
07:26A sliding stop at sure.
07:28Wrong scores, but a terrific play to get the out.
07:31Left fielder.
07:33Number 14.
07:3314.
07:40That one finds the zone.
07:43Strike one.
07:49On the ground.
07:51And it finds its way through for a hit.
07:54And that keeps the inning going.
07:59Here's Gavin Lux to hit.
08:01Gavin Lux.
08:03Now quick throw to first.
08:05No, he's in there.
08:06Simpson dives back in safely.
08:14Hey.
08:19Simpson leads off first with two down to the inning.
08:23Run around the goal.
08:25Pitch is low.
08:27Through.
08:28Save.
08:28That's a score.
08:29Miss.
08:34Swing and a miss.
08:35Nice changeup.
08:43Got him swinging for the strikeout.
08:45Good job at damage control right there.
08:51Second inning.
08:52Set to go.
08:53Joe stepping in for Boston.
08:54Caleb Durbin.
08:57Close, but called a ball.
08:59And that is ball one.
09:04There's the strike.
09:10This to center field.
09:14Drops for a hit.
09:16He couldn't run it down.
09:17And he's going to get to second with nobody out.
09:23He needed that one.
09:24It's been a tough stretch to play lately.
09:26That pitch came off the bat really well in the center field.
09:29And he clearly put a nice swing on it.
09:31And anytime you can get one to drop in out there, you know you stung it pretty good.
09:36Because it seems like center fielders these days, to a man, these guys can run down just about everything hit
09:42their way.
09:43Base hit.
09:44Headed for the plate.
09:45Here comes the throw.
09:46Safe at home.
09:48And the runner scores from second.
09:504-2 now.
09:52So the Red Sox lineup turns over.
09:54Jaren Duran getting ready to hit.
09:57Ball.
09:58Down.
10:01One on.
10:02Nobody out.
10:03A run in.
10:04Here at the top of the second.
10:05Nope.
10:06Just missed.
10:12Next offering is down low.
10:18And that's in there at the knees for a strike.
10:20High.
10:23Next offering is fouled back.
10:28And ball four to a board.
10:31Pretty good pitch on 3-2.
10:32Right around the knees, but just no help from the umpire.
10:40And that's through there for a strike.
10:42It's 0-1.
10:45Pulled hard but it's a foul ball.
10:53Oh, look at the stop.
10:55The feed for one.
10:56And two.
10:57What a play.
10:58Man, that is such a tough double play to execute as a first baseman.
11:02To not only field the ball and make a good throw to second with a runner in the baseline,
11:06but also to hustle back to first base and get set up to receive the return throw.
11:10That takes great footwork and an awareness of where the bag is.
11:14A lot of practice to get that one right.
11:17No, it's a good time to step out of the box.
11:19Take a deep breath.
11:20Reset.
11:21A couple of change-ups.
11:22Probably won't see another one here.
11:26And it's fouled off.
11:27They'll do it again.
11:36That's foul off to the right side.
11:37Keeps the A-B going.
11:45Fouled off.
11:46And they'll do it again.
11:48Two outs with a runner at third.
11:54Up the middle.
11:56Base hit and a run in to score.
12:00Picks himself up at RBI.
12:02Really nice job staying up the middle with his approach.
12:05He didn't try to do too much with the pitch.
12:07Just shot it through the infield.
12:11Meyer at the plate now and that's strike one.
12:16Run around the move.
12:18Next offering is fouled back.
12:210-2 now.
12:24Ground ball left side.
12:28Throw in the dirt.
12:29Can't pick it cleanly.
12:31Now two aboard.
12:33First and second.
12:34Two outs.
12:35Here's Trevor Story.
12:38Popped in the air.
12:40Left field.
12:42And that'll do it.
12:52Back now in Tampa Bay.
12:54And now the catcher for the Rays.
12:55Hunter Faduccia.
13:03Pretty rare location right there.
13:05Right down the middle.
13:06This guy paints the edges.
13:07I'm not sure if you're going to see that pitch again as a hitter.
13:10That one misses.
13:12Ball one.
13:13Suarez.
13:14A former All-Star.
13:1630 years old now.
13:17He joined the team as a free agent.
13:19Swing and a miss.
13:21As he was out front that time.
13:27Hit on the ground to short.
13:30On to first.
13:32On to first.
13:32And quickly one away in the second.
13:35Inner fielder.
13:36Dedrick Mullins.
13:43Outside low.
13:44Ball one.
13:51When you get ahead in the count, there's no doubt that the success rate goes up.
13:55And that's what he's been doing.
13:56It's made a big impact for him in recent games.
13:59Comes up empty as he chases that one in the dirt.
14:07Fouls one off.
14:09Two and two.
14:15Ground ball right side.
14:17It squirts through.
14:18Two.
14:19So they get a man aboard with a one out single.
14:25Batting ninth.
14:26Shortstop.
14:26Carson Williams.
14:27Next to hit for the Rays.
14:29Didn't play in the day game yesterday.
14:31So he should be fresh for this one.
14:34Eight.
14:46This one smoked on its way out of here.
14:53A two run blast.
14:56And they cut into the deficit.
14:58Maybe he's starting to break out of this mini slob.
15:01That's the type of swing that makes you think good things are coming his way.
15:16Drilled out towards left center field.
15:18That's well struck.
15:19That's back.
15:20And it is gone.
15:22They do it again.
15:24Back to back homers.
15:26And we're level.
15:27It's 5-5.
15:31Now the number two hitter.
15:32Jonathan Aranda.
15:40Already three runs across in the frame.
15:43Bottom half of inning number two.
15:47Derby.
15:48Jumps.
15:49Throws.
15:50And very nicely done for the out.
15:52Up next.
15:54For the Rays.
15:55Third baseman.
15:57Junior.
15:58Caminero.
16:02Clearly he hasn't had it in this game.
16:05And it looks like sooner than later they're gonna have to go to the bullpen.
16:11In the air right field.
16:13Anthony.
16:13On the move.
16:15Pulls it down and he makes the catch.
16:23Back here at Tropicana Field.
16:25Now here's the Red Sox DH.
16:27Romy Gonzalez.
16:30Check swing.
16:32But he went too far.
16:33And that's strike one.
16:38That's the third.
16:41Over to Diaz.
16:43Lead off man retired here in the third.
16:45For the Red Sox.
16:46Center fielder.
16:47Sedan Raviella.
16:53Nope.
17:00Out to short.
17:04Gets it to first.
17:05First two batters retired here in the top of the third.
17:08For the Red Sox.
17:09So digging in.
17:10Caleb Derby.
17:11One for one with a double and a run scored.
17:16Gets the call.
17:17Strike one.
17:19But Chris through the early stages.
17:20He hasn't been very efficient.
17:22In terms of the pitch count.
17:24He's going to need to get some quick outs.
17:26If he's going to get deeper into this game.
17:30Swing and a miss.
17:31There's the change up.
17:32It is interesting though.
17:34When you consider.
17:35The way the game is run now.
17:37Doesn't even matter that much.
17:38If your starter doesn't go that deep.
17:40Because teams are really aggressively building their bullpens.
17:43And that extends the inning.
17:45Up next for the Red Sox.
17:47Anytime you rip a line drive the other way.
17:49You feel really good about what you did at the plate.
17:53You trusted your hands.
17:53You let the ball travel.
17:55And you took the barrel straight to it.
17:57That's great work right there.
17:58Runner.
17:58Runner on the goal.
18:00This one popped up.
18:02Foul ground first base side.
18:05Reaches over the wall.
18:06And he's got it.
18:16Bottom of the inning.
18:18And stepping in for the Rays.
18:19Jake Fraley.
18:20Right fielder.
18:21Jake Fraley.
18:23Suarez.
18:24Back to work.
18:34And a foul ball.
18:36From Georgia.
18:38Field 2.
18:49Ball.
18:57Ground ball right side.
18:59And that's just fouled.
19:03The 1-2.
19:14And that one is inside
19:22It's a leadoff walk and that's the go-ahead run
19:25Well a breaking ball in that 3-2 count kind of tells you that that's the pitch he has the
19:30most confidence in right now
19:31Just couldn't find the strike zone
19:36And there's a strike
19:43That one hit the knees for a strike
19:45So now it's all about protect mode
19:47Try to shorten up
19:48Try to track the ball
19:50Block it if you have to as far as just a late
19:52Oh that got him
19:57First and second
19:58No outs
20:00Gavin Lux
20:01Now at the play
20:020-1 he struck out swinging last time
20:09In the air left field
20:12And there's one away
20:18Up next for the Rays
20:20Catcher
20:21Hunter
20:29That's in for a strike
20:31The last thing he wants is to hit the ball on the ground
20:34But I wouldn't expect many pitches up in the zone
20:36They'll be pitching for a double play in this spot
20:38Ball left out
20:45Way inside
20:46Good spot for the hitter
20:48Definitely has the advantage in this count
20:50With runners on
20:51Look for him to be aggressive on this next pitch
20:54That one to first
20:56Contreras
20:57Contreras
20:57Tossed the second
20:58What a double play that was
21:00Inning over
21:07Back here in Tampa Bay
21:09Now here's the Red Sox leadoff hitter
21:11Jaron Duran
21:16Breaking ball drops in for a strike
21:17You know these Red Sox
21:19Doing a good job of simply getting the bat on the ball in this game
21:23And the numbers back that up
21:24They're hitting everything thrown at them
21:26Their contact rate is in the low 90s
21:28It's like they know what's coming
21:29That's just pretty ridiculous what they're doing right now
21:32Those numbers are well above the major league average
21:36Up next for the Red Sox
21:38Right fielder
21:39Roman Anthony
21:45All those numbers mean this offense is really making the defense work
21:49By just putting the ball into play
21:51Anything can happen at that point
21:54All tied up
21:55Top half of inning number four
22:02Swing and a high fly ball left field
22:04Simpson should have this one
22:06Two down
22:09Wilson Contreras now up to the plate
22:11First baseman
22:13Wilson Contreras
22:19Right through there for a strike
22:27And a big swing and a miss
22:29He finds himself in a tough situation early
22:31Just kind of try to simplify it
22:33Take a knock the other way if you can
22:35Swing and a high fly ball to left
22:39And that'll do it
22:47Bottom four and stepping in for the Rays
22:50Cedric Mullins
22:51Center fielder
22:53Cedric Mullins
22:58Fastball for a strike
23:00Well these Rays
23:01Showing great discipline at the plate
23:03And patience definitely seems to be the name of their game in this one
23:06Not only have they already put up a bunch of runs on the board
23:09But they've also made the starter work really hard out there
23:16Like I said his pitch count is high
23:18So I gotta expect
23:19They'll be turning to their bullpen sooner than they had hoped
23:23Ball two
23:31Misses outside
23:32Full count now
23:38Knocks that one away
23:39And we'll do it again
23:43Payoff pitch
23:46This ball's chopped on the ground
23:48Story
23:49Whips it to first
23:51Lead off hitter retired in the fourth
23:53Up next
23:55For the Rays
23:56Shortstop
23:57Carson Williams
24:04Aye
24:12Right side hard hit
24:14Meyer to first
24:15Already two gone
24:17Here in the home fourth
24:18Up next
24:19Yandy Diaz now
24:20He's already homer here in this one
24:22Yandy Diaz
24:38On the ground to third
24:42Play made that ends the inning
24:51We go to the top of the fifth
24:52Still stepping in for Boston
24:54Marcelo Meyer
24:55A swing and a miss
24:59And that's strike one
25:00You know these Red Sox
25:02Doing a good job of putting the ball into play
25:04And that makes things more challenging
25:06On the defensive side
25:07They have yet to strike out
25:08And they're averaging more than a hit per inning
25:11That's a great recipe for success right there
25:13Ball one
25:22Now pitching for the Rays
25:23Mason Engler
25:24Is forced to the mound
25:25After the injury
25:26Mason
25:27This guy's a strike thrower
25:28He's done an excellent job
25:30Of avoiding walks
25:31So far this season
25:34In the air to left center
25:36Mullins
25:37On his way over
25:38He's got it
25:39And there's one down
25:42Up next for the Red Sox
25:44Shortstop Trevor Story
25:50Slapped hard the other way
25:52But foul
26:02Ball one
26:03Engler
26:04The tall righty
26:05205 pounds
26:07And he was drafted
26:08In the fourth round
26:09Back in 2018
26:13Strike two
26:19And that just misses
26:24Battling here as he fouls it away
26:32Fastball right back to the mound
26:34Throws the first in time
26:36And the first two
26:37Set down to the top of the fifth
26:39Here now the Red Sox DH
26:41Romy Gonzalez
26:43Ball
26:43That's inside
26:48Ball that's inside
26:52There's a swing and a drive
26:56That one carrying
26:58And it is
26:59Out of here
27:01His first homer of the year
27:03And a Red Sox jump in front
27:05It's 6-5
27:07The one thing the pitcher
27:09Didn't want to happen
27:10Just happened
27:11That's not an easy one to stomach
27:13Ball
27:14Ball they've kept it pretty quiet
27:16In this series
27:16Still doesn't have a knock
27:18I know
27:18You want to get that first knock
27:20Out of the way
27:20Maybe more will come
27:21But you got to give some credit
27:22To the pitching staff
27:23They've had a great plan
27:24Against him
27:25Two down bases
27:27Empty but one run across
27:28And we're at the top of the fifth
27:31And he boots it
27:33Safe at first
27:34No play
27:36We'll see how they score this
27:37Well he found himself
27:38Behind in the count right there
27:40But he didn't give in
27:41And now they've got some speed
27:42On first
27:43So we'll see if they try
27:44To get him into motion
27:57Fair ball
28:02Raphael around third
28:04Now a relay to the plate
28:05And he's out
28:07Touchdown
28:08And that ends the inning
28:14We head to the bottom of the fifth
28:16To the plate now
28:24Raises to DH
28:27Jonathan Aranda
28:31In there at the knees
28:32And it's 0-1
28:40Oh he can't hang on
28:42Still manages a throw
28:44And it's in time
28:45It wasn't the smoothest play
28:47You'll see today
28:48But they still get the out
28:49Junior
28:50Camonero
28:55Aye
29:02Rips one to right
29:05And there are two down
29:07Jake Fraley
29:09Will hit next
29:15In the dirt
29:17And that's ball one
29:18Two down
29:20Nobody on
29:20Last half of inning
29:21Number five
29:24That one lifted to left
29:27That is the inning
29:34Hunter Biggie
29:36Taking over on the mound
29:37Pretty tight game
29:38So they're looking for
29:39Ball and he pitches
29:40Out of him right here
29:41Got to do his best
29:42To keep the score
29:43Right where it is
29:47Hard ground ball
29:48Base knock
29:51So now
29:52Back to the top
29:53Of the order
29:53Went up there
29:54Looking to be aggressive
29:55And got something
29:56He could handle
29:56Really good swing
29:57Right there
29:58He got a pitch
29:58That he knew
29:59He could handle
29:59Allowed himself
30:01To stay back
30:01Just a tad bit longer
30:03And he hit the ball
30:04On the screws
30:05Durant
30:06In the box
30:07Now
30:07No balls
30:08In the dirt
30:13And the runner holds
30:18In the air
30:19In the air
30:20Right field
30:20Fraley
30:21Gets under it
30:22And there's one away
30:27Up next
30:28For the Red Sox
30:29Right fielder
30:30Roman
30:30Attenu
30:37In the dirt
30:44On the ground
30:45Left side
30:46Six
30:46Four
30:47Three
30:48Double play
30:49And the inning
30:50Is over
30:55Back now
30:56For the bottom
30:56Of the sixth
30:57And there's a new
30:58Pitcher on the mound
30:59Justin Slate
31:00He doesn't get a lot
31:01Of strikeouts
31:02Compared to other
31:02Relievers
31:03So he relies on
31:04Getting that soft
31:05Contact
31:05And the defense
31:06Doing the work
31:07Behind him
31:08They'll have to be
31:08On their toes
31:09With him on the ball
31:10Simpson
31:11Leading things off
31:12And takes a strike
31:18You know this guy's
31:19Great speed
31:20Is in the back
31:21Of that pitcher's mind
31:21If he can get on
31:22It's going to give him
31:23One more thing
31:24He's got to think about
31:25This one in the air
31:27Story
31:30Brings it in
31:31And there's one down
31:33Up next
31:34For the race
31:35Second baseman
31:36Gavin
31:38Locks
31:42Shots missed
31:49In the air
31:50To left center
31:53That's out
31:54Number two
31:57So next to the plate
31:58For Tampa Bay
31:59Hunter Faduccia
32:05Hey
32:15Long drive
32:16And that should be
32:17Extra bases
32:18Now he'll turn
32:19For second
32:21And the double
32:22Puts the tying run
32:23In scoring position
32:24With two away
32:26Up next
32:26For the race
32:27Center fielder
32:29Cedric Mullins
32:38Right through there
32:38For a strike
32:49And he grounds one
32:51Back up the middle
32:52Oh great stop
32:53And they kicked it out
32:59Back now in Tampa Bay
33:01Joe stepping in
33:02For Boston
33:02Wilson Contreras
33:04Jack swing
33:05Called strike
33:06That's strike one
33:09Just missed
33:10At the ball
33:16Swing and a liner
33:17Foul
33:18Off to the right
33:21On the ground
33:22At first
33:23Diaz
33:24Takes it himself
33:25That's the first out
33:26At the top of the seven
33:27Up next
33:27For the Red Sox
33:28Second baseman
33:29Marcelo Meyer
33:32Out towards right
33:33Center field
33:36And a couple
33:36Of quick outs
33:39Trevor Story
33:40Comes up to the plate
33:41He's already
33:42Homeward in this game
33:42Trevor Story
33:44A two seam
33:45Fastball
33:46Is usually
33:47Coupled with
33:47A slider away
33:49And when a hitter
33:50Is conscious
33:50Of the pitch
33:51And it's hard
33:51For him to cover
33:52Middle away
33:53And that's where
33:54A pitcher can really
33:55Finish off that batter
33:59Two down
34:00Nobody on
34:02Fouls it off
34:03Still one and two
34:04Man this has been
34:05A real important
34:06Inning in relief
34:07I mean so
34:08This one in the
34:09Air right field
34:11Automatic double
34:12Now as it
34:13Ops the wall
34:14And foul ground
34:15For the Red Sox
34:16The designated hitter
34:17Romy Gonzalez
34:19In the dirt
34:29Man on second
34:30Two down
34:32Swings over
34:32The top of that one
34:37And that drops
34:38In for a strike
34:43And that's awfully close
34:44I don't know
34:45How you take that
34:45He's seeing the ball
34:46Out of the pitcher's
34:47Hand really well
34:48Right now
34:48High fly ball
34:50Lifted in the air
34:51Right field
34:52And that is that
34:59Set for the last
35:00Half of the seventh
35:01And stepping in
35:02For the raise
35:02Carson Williams
35:07There's the strike
35:08Really good cutter
35:10That he's able
35:10To front door
35:11And back door
35:12That pitch
35:13Is devastating
35:15Curveball drops
35:16In there
35:16Looked pretty good
35:17As far as being
35:18In the strike zone
35:19But I'm sure
35:19As a hitter
35:20Not too good
35:21With where it was
35:22Located
35:23Very top of the
35:24Strike zone
35:24Middle away
35:25Dives
35:26But it's off
35:27His glove
35:27Great effort
35:28But no throw
35:29That's an
35:30Enfield single
35:31Well that was
35:32An important
35:32At bat in this game
35:33So great job
35:34There stepping up
35:35To the challenge
35:36You got that
35:37Front foot down
35:38And pitch recognition
35:39Was on point
35:40Pretty impressive
35:41For an 0-2 count
35:42Inside
35:43Ball one
35:43Inside ball one
35:54Into center
35:58Grabs it on the run
36:00And there's one down
36:01They trust him
36:02In center field
36:03Because he's capable
36:03Of making plays
36:04On the run
36:05And we saw it
36:06Right there
36:06That's a player
36:07You want patrolling
36:08Center field
36:09Someone who can
36:10Attack the ball
36:11Off the bat
36:13Arundo
36:14Batting with one down
36:15Takes a strike
36:19Quick move to first
36:20Williams
36:21Back on a dive
36:22I think you want
36:23To get a one-way lead
36:24Be very aggressive
36:25In the secondary
36:26This hitter
36:27Not a power guy
36:28So you want to
36:29Make sure
36:29That you can get
36:31Some
36:31Now this ball
36:32Is well hit
36:32This one's got a chance
36:35Just missed it
36:41So the Red Sox
36:42Bring on a new pitcher
36:43Danny Coulomb
36:44Well the best relievers
36:46Love the opportunity
36:47To come in
36:48And protect it
36:55Late in the ball game
36:57Some of them
36:58Are just wired
36:59Different
36:59So we'll see
37:00What he's got here
37:02Step off
37:03Throw to first
37:03Williams
37:04Back in on a dive
37:06Right now
37:07They're looking
37:12Something hit hard
37:13Into the gaps
37:14Give them an opportunity
37:16With two outs
37:16To score that run
37:17From first
37:20That one finds
37:21The zone
37:22That's strike one
37:23Late in the game
37:24Everyone gets
37:25A little tighter
37:26Way to get ahead
37:27On a really good
37:27Hitter right there
37:28That one is
37:29Absolutely belted
37:30And this one
37:32Could be extra bases
37:36Throw back in
37:37As the tying run
37:38Holds at third
37:39Two on
37:40Following the double
37:41Now just a nice job
37:43Coming through
37:43In a pretty high leverage
37:45Spot right there
37:46Chance now
37:47To even this game
37:47If they can put a ball
37:48In play
37:49Maybe an error
37:50Maybe a hit
37:50At the play
37:52Jake Fraley
37:52That one misses
37:54And that's ball one
38:04Raised down by a run
38:05Raised down by a run
38:05Here at the bottom
38:06Of the seventh
38:12Pitch is in the dirt
38:13And it's two and one
38:31Fouls it back with two strikes
38:41Swings and misses struck him out
38:44Huge strike out there
38:46Huge strike out there
38:51Now pitching for the rain
38:52Welcome back
38:53And a new arm on the mound
38:54To start the eighth
38:55Ian Seymour
38:56And he's had a struggle
38:57So far this year
38:59As you can see
38:59The inflated ERA
39:01Looking to bring that down
39:02A little bit right here
39:03Swings through that one
39:04For strike one
39:07Just missed
39:08Seymour
39:10Measures six feet even
39:13Now a blast to left center
39:15Way back there
39:16On its way
39:17Out of here
39:20He'll take a jog
39:22Around the bases
39:24His seventh home run
39:25Of the season
39:27Caleb Durbin
39:28Digs in down
39:31And a bump
39:32Towards third
39:33And foul ball
39:36Always exciting
39:36To see a leadoff
39:37Home run
39:38And an inning
39:38Kind of gets the offense
39:39Fired up
39:40And you start to expect
39:41A big inning
39:42Base hit
39:43That was smoked
39:44Through the infield
39:45And a man aboard
39:54Red Sox
39:55By two
39:56And we're at the top
39:57Of the eighth
39:57Foul ball there
40:02Little bit low
40:03Tough to take
40:04A two strike
40:05Change up
40:06They just missed
40:07They get frozen
40:08Got him swinging
40:11Back to the top
40:12Of the order
40:13Here's the left fielder
40:14Jaron Duran
40:18Man
40:19Man at first
40:20One away
40:22Check swing
40:23No appeal
40:24And the count is
40:25One and one
40:27To the right side
40:28Lux
40:30Throws to first
40:31That's a very
40:33Athletic play
40:34Ahead for the Red Sox
40:35Right fielder
40:36Roman Anthony
40:46In for a strike
40:48Or a tuna
40:48And a bat like this
40:50Is almost over
40:51As it begins
40:52In this situation
40:54You have no idea
40:55What the next pitch
40:55Is going to be
40:56You just got to hope
40:57That you can make contact
40:58Line drive
41:00And that's a base hit
41:01Round's third
41:02Headed for the plate
41:04He's safe
41:05It's eight to five
41:06Big at bat
41:07To pad their lead
41:08Up to three
41:09Hooked around that pitch
41:10On the outside
41:11But he was still able
41:12To square it up
41:13Pretty nicely
41:13And that takes quick
41:14Strong risk
41:15To pull that off
41:17In there
41:18At the knees
41:22Spoils a two strike pitch
41:23And you'll see another
41:29Swings through that one
41:30It's a strikeout
41:37Bottom of the eighth
41:46Stepping in for the Rays
41:47Chandler Simpson
41:53Well these Rays
41:55Simply put
41:55Are producing a lot
41:57Of quality swings
41:58They have five extra
41:59Base hits on the
42:00Stat sheet so far
42:01And that tells me
42:02They're seeing the ball
42:03Out of the pitcher's hand
42:04Really well
42:05Comes up empty
42:06With all those
42:07Extra base hits
42:08It's easy to think
42:09We're going to see
42:09That trend continue
42:10The rest of the game
42:11They seem to be
42:12Really locked in
42:13At the plate
42:13Swing and a ground ball
42:15Up the middle
42:16To first
42:17Lead off man
42:18Is out here in the eighth
42:19Up next
42:20For the Rays
42:21Second baseman
42:22Gavin Locke
42:28Hey
42:36So it's critical
42:37That they bear down
42:39And turn in some
42:39Quality at bats
42:40Try to chip away
42:41At that lead
42:42Because if it gets
42:43To the ninth
42:43That closer's coming in
42:47Ground ball
42:48To the middle
42:48That's a base hit
42:51So a man aboard
42:52Now with one away
42:55Just kept it simple
42:56Played pepper
42:57With the middle
42:58Of the infield
42:58And took it back
42:59Where it came from
43:00And there's just
43:01No one there
43:01To knock it down
43:04Now it's going to be
43:06Hunter Fiduccia
43:07This one in the air
43:08Center field
43:09Raffaella
43:10Under it
43:12Takes it in
43:14For the out
43:17Up next
43:19For the Rays
43:20Center fielder
43:21Dedrick Mullins
43:28Ball one
43:34Lefty continues to work
43:35But the closer
43:36Getting loose
43:36To the bullpen
43:55And he grounds
43:56One to the right side
43:58That ends the frame
44:08Now pitching
44:09We're back
44:09And on the mound
44:10Is the closer
44:11Brian Baker
44:12And we all know
44:14About his slider
44:14It's just filthy man
44:16One of the better ones
44:17In the game
44:18I'd say
44:18Spin rate's very high
44:20And it just breaks
44:20A ton
44:21Meyer
44:21Leading things off
44:23And takes a strike
44:26There you go
44:27Gets a check swing
44:28Appeal to third
44:29Yes he did
44:30That's a swing
44:32Swing and a ground ball
44:35Over to Diaz
44:36Now one gone
44:38In the ninth
44:38Up next
44:39For the red side
44:40Short shot
44:41Trevor's scoring
44:44Breaking ball
44:45In there for a strike
44:48Ball
44:53Swing and a miss
44:55Gonna count one and two
45:01Two down bases
45:03Empty
45:04Romy Gonzalez
45:05The next to hit
45:13This one in the air
45:15Right field
45:18He can't get there
45:20It's a base hit
45:21It's a base hit
45:21Joey gets on base
45:22And keeps it going
45:29In there for strike one
45:34On the ground to the left
45:37Over to Diaz
45:39And that's the inning
45:45Back now
45:46And on the mound
45:47The closer
45:48Aroldis Chapman
45:50Save opportunity
45:51For him right here
45:52And he's their guy
45:53Time to lock this one down
45:55And get out of here
45:56With a W
46:01That's a little high
46:03Ball one
46:04That was absolute gas
46:05Triple digits on the gun
46:07It's just a different
46:08Experience as a hitter
46:09Watching that go by
46:11In this situation
46:12You expect the batters
46:14To be a little more patient
46:15Possibly take
46:16Until they get a strike
46:17With that
46:18You don't want to miss
46:19Your opportunity
46:19To get ahead early
46:20In the count
46:21He didn't right there
46:21Late on that fastball
46:29Got him
46:30Swinging for the K
46:31Chase the fastball
46:32Up the ladder
46:33For a strike three
46:34First baseman
46:44Dondi Diaz
46:45So many hard
46:46Throwing relievers
46:47In the game these days
46:48You would think
46:49That hitters
46:49Have made the adjustment
46:50But I don't know
46:51If you ever get used to it
46:52Just pumping gas
46:54Out of the bullpen
46:54So hard to play catch up
46:56Swing
46:57A high fly ball
46:58Hit the air
46:58Left center field
46:59This one's got a chance
47:00That one hops
47:01Against the fence
47:03Safe in second
47:04With a double
47:05Third hit for him
47:06This afternoon
47:07Having himself
47:08A really nice game
47:09At the plate
47:10Loud contact
47:11Leads to the double
47:12I mean you could tell
47:13It had extra bases
47:14Written all over it
47:15As it jumped off
47:16Of the stick
47:16Really important at bat
47:18Coming up now
47:19And here is
47:20Jonathan Aranda
47:31The 1-0
47:33Fouled off
47:34He was late
47:35Chapman
47:35He's kind of a
47:37Prototypical bullpen arm
47:38In today's game
47:39Electric stuff
47:40That results
47:41In a ton of strikeouts
47:42In a tough spot like this
47:44That is a big time benefit
47:45And that one
47:46Ripped to left
47:47Two down
47:49As a hitter
47:50When a guy like this
47:51Comes into the game
47:52You feel like he's
47:53Standing on top of you
47:54And it's just
47:55Attack mode
47:56Coming right at you
47:58Expecting to get a
47:59Swing and miss
48:02Ball one there
48:12No need to go right at this guy
48:14First base is open
48:15He can hurt you
48:16So make him expand his zone
48:18If he doesn't
48:19Give him a walk
48:21Hard grounder
48:21Into the outfield
48:22For a knock
48:26And they hold him
48:27At third
48:2890 feet away
48:29With two out
48:30I know it was a ground ball
48:31But it was absolutely
48:32Hammered through the infield
48:34That's not one
48:35You're excited to get in front of
48:36If you're an infielder
48:37You know they used to say
48:38Charge it
48:39Crazy
48:39Now a huge at bat
48:41In this game
48:42Coming up
48:42Fraley
48:43In the box now
48:44Takes strike one
48:52And fouled off
49:00One strike away
49:03Here bottom nine
49:05And the home team
49:06Trying to rally
49:07To at least tie it up
49:12On the ground
49:13Out to short
49:14And that is the ball game
49:20I'd say you're lying
49:21If you say you don't feel
49:22A five game losing streak
49:23This W definitely helps them
49:25Relax a little bit
49:26And takes some of the pressure off
49:27From it going to a six
49:28Seven
49:29Or even an eight game
49:30Losing streak
49:31And this one ends
49:32With the score
49:33Eight to five
49:34For Chris Singleton
49:36And our entire
49:37Outstanding crew
49:38Here at MLB
