00:00:23Coming to you live from Southern California.
00:00:26Today, the finale of this three-game weekend set.
00:00:29It's the Tampa Bay Rays and the Los Angeles Angels.
00:00:36Joined by my partner, Chris Singleton, I'm John Schombe.
00:00:39Seeing you one of the stories in this one is a highly anticipated Major League debut
00:00:44and all eyes will be on him as he gets the start of the mound.
00:00:48I love watching pitching debuts at this level because there's no waiting around to see the
00:00:53rookie in action.
00:00:54You get thrown right into the deep end of the Major League pool.
00:00:57He's center stage from the first inning on, so like you said, Boog, there's no hiding
00:01:02at all.
00:01:02There's a ton of excitement about this kid's future, and he's about to face the best lineup
00:01:07of his life, so I'm excited to see how he attacks it.
00:01:09All right, we'll be back to get this one started after this.
00:01:27And we're off and running from Anaheim.
00:01:40That's ripped into the outfield, and that's got extra bases written all over it.
00:01:48Into second safely.
00:01:50It's a leadoff double to start the game.
00:01:54Loud contact leads to the double.
00:01:56I mean you could tell it had extra bases written all over it as it jumped off of his stick.
00:02:11And immediately pumps in a strike to the left-handed hitter.
00:02:36It's a leadoff double to start the game.
00:02:45Junior Caminero next to hit for the Rays.
00:02:50Caminero with another scorching run of play lately.
00:02:57We've gotten used to seeing him put together impressive stretches throughout his career,
00:03:01Boog.
00:03:02And when he's going like he is right now, it's really fun to watch him.
00:03:10And there's a foul ball.
00:03:16Two down, nobody on.
00:03:20So a foul ball makes it one and two.
00:03:33Out to short, Neto.
00:03:37To first, third out.
00:03:40Now the Angels will get their first crack at it.
00:03:44No score.
00:03:45You're watching Tampa Bay Rays.
00:03:49We go to the bottom of the first.
00:03:50And starting on the mound for the Rays, Brody Hopkins.
00:03:54And singing a special day for him.
00:03:56He's making his major league debut here.
00:03:59It's a tough veteran lineup on the other side.
00:04:01But I'm excited to see what this rookie can do in this one.
00:04:04Jorge Soler up at the plate.
00:04:10And the first pitch misses for ball one.
00:04:23What a stop.
00:04:25Takes it himself.
00:04:26And he got him.
00:04:27Nicely done at first for the out.
00:04:30All right, let's take a look at the Angels lineup.
00:04:32And so far this year, this has not been a very good offense.
00:04:37Well, in this day and age, if you can't slug and get on base, that OPS has to be at
00:04:41a certain level.
00:04:42If you're going to produce runs, give your pitchers an opportunity as they're facing tough offenses as well.
00:04:50Oh, he can't squeeze it.
00:04:53Still manages a throw, but it's not in time.
00:04:56Base hit.
00:04:58Batting curve.
00:04:59The left fielder.
00:05:00So a man at first.
00:05:02And up next for Los Angeles, Adam Frazier.
00:05:13And foul ball.
00:05:21Ball one.
00:05:29That's a laser base hit.
00:05:33They get it in quickly.
00:05:35So first and second.
00:05:36Now one out.
00:05:38Batting four.
00:05:39Not just a cookie down the middle.
00:05:41I mean, those are the ones you dream about.
00:05:43Once in the cage, you're just hoping you get in the ball game.
00:05:45Right down the middle.
00:05:46Not a whole lot of velocity.
00:05:47Right on top of it.
00:05:50This one in the air right field.
00:05:52Two down.
00:05:58Batting fifth.
00:05:59The catcher number 14.
00:06:00To a board.
00:06:01Two outs.
00:06:02Logan Ohapi.
00:06:03Will hit next.
00:06:07Swing and a ground ball.
00:06:09Palacios.
00:06:10Out with room to spare.
00:06:11And that's the inning.
00:06:14Scoreless after one.
00:06:15See.
00:06:16That's faith.
00:06:17Believe.
00:06:18That's all you need.
00:06:22Second inning.
00:06:23Set to go.
00:06:24And stepping in for the raise.
00:06:26Chandler Simpson.
00:06:33Right through there for a strike.
00:06:35Well, we call that key holy.
00:06:37Even though it's right there and looks pretty good.
00:06:39If he doesn't love it.
00:06:40He's not going to swing that early in the count.
00:06:45Comes up empty as he chases that one in the dirt.
00:06:47Two really good back-to-back sliders.
00:06:49Now in an 0-2 count.
00:06:51He's feeling real confident about finishing this hitter off.
00:06:53He can go anywhere he wants.
00:06:54Here's the 0-2.
00:06:59Whoa.
00:07:09And there's a base hit.
00:07:11Man aboard on the lead off single.
00:07:15Wow.
00:07:16So important to get into the fielding position as you deliver that baseball.
00:07:20That is a scary one.
00:07:22Watch your lips.
00:07:29Oh.
00:07:30Step off.
00:07:30Throw to first.
00:07:31Oh, they got him leaning.
00:07:32He's out.
00:07:35I think the base runner was trying to catch him off guard.
00:07:37Perhaps looking to steal right away.
00:07:40And wasn't ready to get back to first.
00:07:43Nice pick-off move by the pitcher.
00:07:50That's inside.
00:08:13And a swing and a miss.
00:08:14There's that slider.
00:08:15Here.
00:08:22This to third.
00:08:23Mokata.
00:08:25Throw to first.
00:08:26Yeah.
00:08:27Is in time.
00:08:31The second baseman.
00:08:33Two down.
00:08:34Base is empty.
00:08:35So next to the plate for Tampa Bay.
00:08:37Richie Palacios.
00:08:44That one finds the zone.
00:08:46Going to one.
00:08:56Lifted in the air down the left side.
00:08:58And that'll fall for a base hit.
00:09:00So he gets on base and keeps it going.
00:09:04Batting seven.
00:09:05The shortstop.
00:09:06Carson.
00:09:07Will Young.
00:09:14Close one.
00:09:16Doesn't get the call.
00:09:18Ball one.
00:09:27That's a ball.
00:09:31Second inning here.
00:09:33No score.
00:09:39And that's outside.
00:09:41And that's ball three.
00:09:43That's all I would expect in this 3-0 count.
00:09:45You're taking all the way.
00:09:46See if he'll walk you.
00:09:49And ball four.
00:09:51Two aboard.
00:09:52He did not take the bat off his shoulder.
00:09:55The entire at-bat.
00:09:56Hunter.
00:09:57Hunter for Ducha.
00:09:58Digs in now.
00:09:59I'm liking what I've seen from him at the dish lately.
00:10:02Currently owns a seven game hitting streak.
00:10:05That one misses.
00:10:06That's five straight.
00:10:17Clips the outside corner.
00:10:19And it's one and one.
00:10:20Batter challenges in a very big spot.
00:10:23And it was a strike.
00:10:25The call will stand.
00:10:27So they've only got one challenge left now.
00:10:30The Rays looking to strike first.
00:10:33Here in the top of the second.
00:10:39Ground ball at the middle.
00:10:40That's a base hit.
00:10:42Here comes the runner.
00:10:43Here's the throw.
00:10:45He's safe.
00:10:46On the board first.
00:10:48It's one zip.
00:10:49Mission accomplished there as he picks up the RBI to give him the lead.
00:10:53Timing on the swing was good.
00:10:54Able to shoot the ball up the middle.
00:10:56Didn't square it up as much as he probably would have liked.
00:10:59But that's a good approach paying off.
00:11:08Fastball,
00:11:09Fastball in for a strike.
00:11:10Someone want one?
00:11:18Two on, two outs.
00:11:20Foul ball there.
00:11:33swing and a miss that's a strikeout that ends the inning and they limit the damage
00:11:38but the RBI single pushes across a run it's now 1-0
00:11:48back here at Angel Stadium bottom of the inning
00:11:51the right so the Los Angeles Angels are squarely in the middle of the pack about halfway through
00:11:56the season singing it's been stunning to watch this team flounder like they have they were supposed
00:12:01to be a serious contender this year yeah I'm genuinely shocked Boob because you know you're
00:12:06right they had a ton of hype behind them and a really talented roster and then they go out and
00:12:12lay an egg like this I just don't know what I do to fix things here I mean they've got
00:12:16multiple
00:12:17major issues and there's no quick solution Joe Adele batting with one down takes a strike
00:12:41line drive and that's a base hitter to right and the tying run is on base couldn't have timed it
00:12:51up
00:12:51any better than that pretty much a model swing on that one as he ripped it into the opposite field
00:12:56gap and I'm sure he's gonna be watching that one back on video because that's the kind of swing you
00:13:00want to bottle so many positives that led to that knock ground ball right side it squirts through they
00:13:06fired in quickly so it's first and second with only one away a couple of singles back to back just
00:13:12one
00:13:12of those seen eye base hits through the infield just kind of rolled over on it a little bit but
00:13:17sometimes those can find a hole and get you a knock next to hit Oswald Peraza all on there like
00:13:31there's some action here on this next pitch couple runners on probably a challenge pitch coming swings and
00:13:38misses and a count down even up well hitter shows the pitcher that he's willing to go after that pitch
00:13:45down in the zone so perhaps he'll come back to it still try to get that ground ball double play
00:13:50and
00:13:50there's two down up net for the Angels the designated hitter for hey go and that one fouled off
00:14:09first and second two down as the Rays try and punch back down the run the throw is still in
00:14:19time and
00:14:20they do get the third out the inning is over we play two innings it's one to nothing
00:14:29back in Anaheim at the plate now for the Rays is the DH Yandy Diaz
00:14:38and that's in for a strike it's 0-1
00:14:49can't glove it cleanly still fires the first and they get him the misplay made it a bit messy but
00:14:56they clean things up for the out and here's a look at how he's using his pitches in this one
00:15:24strike two spin rates outstanding on that high fastball really tough to hit
00:15:33breaking ball in there got him looking first two batters retired here in the top of the third
00:15:40two out space is empty here's some real power at the plate Junior Caminero
00:15:49and first offering is fouled off
00:16:02right through there for a strike
00:16:12this one in the air shadow well in position and that is that
00:16:20nothing to do it for Tampa but they lead it one to nothing
00:16:27ready to go for the last half of the inning so in now for the Angels Yohan Moncada
00:16:36that's in there and it's 0-1
00:16:38first pitch strike right there for him he's going to have to do that consistently if he's going to give
00:16:43any link to it skipper into center and a base hit
00:16:48so a man on base to start the inning
00:16:54that pretty much split the zone down the middle and those are the ones where you've got to make them
00:16:59better
00:17:04well here's a good opportunity in this inning to get on the scoreboard after that leadoff hit and
00:17:08hard the order coming up right behind them this is where they need to get going
00:17:16the 1-1
00:17:18way out front for strike two
00:17:26way to lay off that pitch down
00:17:32swings and misses struck him out
00:17:36and that's the first strikeout of his major league career
00:17:40and it could be the first of many if he meets the goals he set for himself and the expectations
00:17:45others have for him
00:17:46he doesn't want to just win games he wants to dominate at this level
00:17:49do you think young pitchers can sometimes get too caught up
00:17:53in trying to rack up K's early in their career
00:17:55Boog I think they can it's kind of like a hitter that doesn't have power
00:17:58the thrill is still hitting the ball over the fence and so for a guy even if he doesn't have
00:18:03power stuff
00:18:04or strikeout stuff a strikeout is still something that makes him stick his chest out a little bit
00:18:09further runner on the goal now he breaks his back nice grab as he reached down to make the play
00:18:15now a throw to first and he won't get back in time it's a double play it's the Rays one
00:18:21and the Angels nothing
00:18:27out of the fourth and stepping in for the Rays Chandler Simpson
00:18:46not showing great command so far in this at bat 2-0 count he's got to execute here or this
00:18:53could get ugly
00:18:58on the ground right side
00:19:00Peraza in plenty of time to first and one gone to the fourth as they get the lead off man
00:19:16he's pitching well but not throwing a ton of first pitch strikes usually doesn't work out for success but
00:19:22you can never predict baseball
00:19:36football
00:19:37ball food
00:19:46swang and a high fly ball in the air left field way back there it's got a chance and that
00:19:52one is off
00:19:53the wall safely into second he's got a double well they call that an advantage count for a reason
00:19:59you're so much more likely to get something you can handle he absolutely ripped that ball out front and
00:20:04almost got it out of here man just a really strong balanced swing and a fraction of an inch different
00:20:11on the back and it is probably out of here now Richie Palacios
00:20:19one out the runner at second top half of inning number four
00:20:27line drive that's a base hit rounds third headed for the plate
00:20:32he'll score easily it's an RBI single and they lead by two
00:20:39well done drives in the run just a very nice approach and swing right there to use the big
00:20:44part of the field everything was on time he stayed balanced through the entire swing and just launched
00:20:50that one into center
00:20:54that's a strike
00:21:06ground ball right side it squirts through
00:21:11quick throw back in lead runner holds it second with one gone back to back singles
00:21:16i don't know how he's able to shoot that pitch the other way and still put something on it that
00:21:21pitch was inside and he let it get really deep so pretty incredible hands to fight it off and still
00:21:27get good wood on it but ducha in the box now take strike one
00:21:38hard hit to right center adele going after it can't make the catch
00:21:45palacios around third in comes the run from second
00:21:52picks himself up at rbi everything was mechanically sound with that swing right there i mean that's
00:21:57pretty much what you're wanting to replicate with every rep you take you want good balance
00:22:02barrel directly to the baseball and good long extension after contact out in front of home plate
00:22:08and there are a lot of doubles in a swing like that manager out of the dugout and he's going
00:22:12to make a
00:22:13change you say kikuchi done for the afternoon and it's going to be a start that he'd like to get
00:22:18a
00:22:19redo on not his best back with a new arm in a minute ryan sepper john comes on now huge
00:22:26opportunity to add
00:22:28on to the lead for this offense right now but we'll see what he has to say about that he's
00:22:33going to have
00:22:33to make some great pitches to work out of this jam though
00:22:38well he's so good about trying to drive the ball to the opposite field gap in these situations if he
00:22:43takes that approach he could bust this game wide open that one lifted to left frazier has a beat on
00:22:50it
00:22:50and he makes the catch runner tagging from third he'll score the sack fly it's four zip sometimes
00:22:58all you got to do is your job and don't over complicate things keep it simple runner third
00:23:03less than two outs put the ball in play and a nice job with the sack fly so the raise
00:23:08batting order turns
00:23:10over yandy diaz the next to hit fastball for a strike going to no count not every strike is a
00:23:17good
00:23:17strike for a hitter i like the play discipline there
00:23:24man at second
00:23:36base hit into right center headed for the plate
00:23:42he will score it's an rbi single and the lead is up to five
00:23:47i was watching his rounds during batting practice today so impressed with his ability to let the ball
00:23:52travel go back up the middle in the other way sometimes when you step in the box during the game
00:23:57you get a little anxious and you get away from that but so far i've seen him stay consistent with
00:24:02this pre-game preparation ball one no strikes
00:24:15this one in the air center field adele on his way over and that is that
00:24:22so it's four runs five hits no errors and one left on now to the bottom of the fourth it's
00:24:29the rays
00:24:29five and the angels nothing this is rays baseball on the welcome back and let's take a look at how
00:24:36the series has played out so far and that one just misses a ball and no strikes you know these
00:24:51angels
00:24:51just haven't produced as many competitive at bats as i'd like to see in this one they're swinging early
00:24:56being aggressive but one or two pitches later the at bat is over that's not going to cut it if
00:25:01it's not
00:25:01resulting in hits so they might want to be a little more selective up there and that one is downstairs
00:25:07and that's ball two
00:25:19stays alive
00:25:27this one smoked on its way out of here
00:25:34so he goes yard to left his ninth homer of the year and they're on the scoreboard
00:25:41that one just sounded different and might have been the loudest moment yet man my ears are ringing
00:25:46i can feel that swing from the booth
00:25:57we take another look as stack cast tells us that ball took off at 110 miles an hour and plenty
00:26:03of
00:26:03distance as well i mean that was an impressive home run but he squared it off and knew it was
00:26:09gone
00:26:11there's a swing and a drive there's a swing and a drive that one carrying out of here
00:26:19they do it again back to back homers that's his 50th career homer and they close the gap it's 5
00:26:28-2
00:26:29zingy that's his 50th career homer 50 might not sound like a huge number but it's a nice little
00:26:35milestone that a lot of guys don't get to back-to-back homers always a special feeling at the ballpark
00:26:41especially if it's your team that does it and those guys get to slap hands at home plate
00:26:46this is the kind of thing that can really fire up a ballpark now batting joey dell
00:26:51nobody on nobody out a pair of runs across in the inning we're here in the bottom of the fourth
00:27:04no that's a ball
00:27:12and now it's even up
00:27:19hard ground ball base night
00:27:27oh a swing like that can help you come out of the struggle we saw the numbers coming into the
00:27:32ball game but all he's trying to do at this point is help his team win and a 1-0
00:27:45hard grounder into the outfield for a knock
00:27:51throwback in quickly first and second now with nobody out
00:27:56really nice job staying in the middle with his approach he didn't try to do too much with the pitch
00:28:08shot it through the infield
00:28:09and now oswald paraza outside low ball one
00:28:25it's a fielder's choice
00:28:25on the ground right side palacios to second he's not in time at first it's a fielder's choice
00:28:33up next to the angel the designated hitter
00:28:38go
00:28:43hardliner
00:28:46automatic double now as it hops the wall and foul ground
00:28:49and a run comes in to score well there's something really nice about getting yourself an automatic
00:28:55double like that you get to stroll into second base without having to worry about a pro or getting your
00:29:00uniform dirty and now you're just looking for the next guy to kind of do the same thing maybe
00:29:15put one in the gap so you can jog home as well
00:29:19yoan moncata with a chance to hit and the sweeper catches the plate
00:29:28the upstairs to moncata
00:29:37he's got a place open so the pressure to come in and really attack this hitter not as great as
00:29:42it would be the bags were sacked
00:29:49just off the outside edge full countdown and that's awfully close i don't know how you take that he's seeing
00:29:56the ball out of the pitcher's hand really well right now on the ground to third
00:30:01to first and beats it everyone's safe they pick up the run and now it's a one-run game
00:30:15nope that's away at the dish looking to lift the ball in the air in the spot anything but the
00:30:19inning
00:30:20that's a good one-inning double play boat
00:30:26runners at first and second with one gone
00:30:30up the middle there's one
00:30:34double play what a twin killing to end the inning but two round trippers in this inning the long ball
00:30:41was
00:30:42working it's down to one at five four
00:30:50we're back and there's a new arm on the mound to start the fifth brent suitor and if you dig
00:30:55into
00:30:55his walk rate his numbers are really impressive he's really
00:31:04build up the strike zone this season so these batters better be ready to swing the bats
00:31:11to finish all the bullpen but it takes a strike activity in the bullpen for the angels curvy 8s
00:31:17preparing to come on if needed
00:31:22on the ground fair ball
00:31:26now he'll turn for second
00:31:30and he greets the new arm from the bullpen with a double
00:31:34up next got the top of the ball a little bit but not much that was hit pretty
00:31:38hard through the infield so I think you'll be happy with that swing
00:31:42definitely generated some good bat speed
00:31:55and immediately pumps in a strike to the left-handed hitter
00:32:06fall off foul
00:32:10runner in scoring position nobody out and we're at the top of the fifth
00:32:21base hit center field coming home
00:32:26he'll score it's an RBI single and they lead by two he went up there and got it
00:32:32with two strikes I'm not gonna leave this in the umpire's hands I'm gonna be
00:32:36aggressive it was in a location where he could get those arms extended that he
00:32:39loves to do so nice job right there coming back and added back here's the
00:32:43center fielder Johnny Toluca run around the booth strike in there and that's a
00:32:51stolen base not even close
00:32:57Simpson at second with nobody out
00:33:17swing and a miss and it's one and two didn't recognize off speed that was
00:33:21fastball a little bit out in front
00:33:28and it's second hit the air left field Frasier settles under it and there's one down
00:33:40the batter number one second baseman Ritchie Colasio
00:33:57one out and a runner at second
00:34:08he's great hitting the ball the other way and that pitch did a good job to
00:34:11straighten him up a bit mission accomplished
00:34:19ground ball right side
00:34:21Peraza throw the first in time
00:34:25good sinker low in the zone right there and produced exactly what he was looking
00:34:29for that ball on the ground nice ground out now it's gonna be Carson Williams a walk
00:34:35and he's also singled
00:34:39right through there for a strike
00:34:42rudder a third two away
00:34:53here's a chopper to short netto throws the first and that's the third out
00:35:00so one run in the inning on this base hit it's now a 6-4 ball game
00:35:06you say you'll believe it when you see the time
00:35:10now picking for back now to start the bottom of the fifth and taking over on the mound
00:35:15mason engler well he's been hit pretty hard at times this season as you see with the big era
00:35:20and so this is an important outing for him to get on the right track
00:35:27ripped in the air left field and a touchdown for a base hit and a good start to the inning
00:35:34well clearly he was ready to hit right there nice line drive to the full side right there
00:35:39but he didn't spin off of it that's the key you still have to extend through the baseball in order
00:35:43to hit a line drive like that
00:35:47oh happy the batter now as he swings and misses for strike one
00:35:55this one chopped on the ground but foul so now it's all about protect mode try to shorten up
00:36:00try to track the ball block it swings and misses struck him out that cutter right there had just
00:36:07enough movement on it to get the swing and miss wasn't a great location by any means that's
00:36:12typically a spot that hitters can handle so i'd say fooled him with just enough of that late action
00:36:24strike me high that's in for a strike low wants another look at the called strike it's a challenge
00:36:30and the strike call will stand so they'll lose their first challenge
00:36:38the 0-2
00:36:41fights it off you'll see another
00:36:46man at first one away
00:36:50to the right side
00:36:59really protected with two strikes right there pitch wasn't even close but man he got the barrel
00:37:05to it somehow nice job of bad ball hitting adele in the box here lets that one go for a
00:37:10ball
00:37:12maybe a two ball five four three it's a double play and that'll do it for the inning well we
00:37:19can
00:37:19never overstate it pitcher's best friend right there double play gets out of the jam saves some pitches
00:37:35back here at angel stadium close game here and a chance now to look at a few highlights from this
00:37:41one
00:37:53of the game here at angel stadium close game here at angel stadium close game here at angel stadium
00:38:07hunter faduccia getting ready to hit the catcher number nine hunter faduccia
00:38:21that clips the inside corner for a strike
00:38:29right through there for a strike
00:38:39got him looking and a quick out number one no just couldn't pull the trigger on the fastball right there
00:38:45and i don't think he was taking it thinking it might be a
00:38:48call ball or anything i just think he was flat out frozen did not expect that location in my opinion
00:38:55oh fraley goes five feet 11 inches 30 years old now and he was a second round pick back in
00:39:042016. that's a base hit
00:39:06so the one out hit turns the lineup over
00:39:12the batter number two back to the top of the lineup on yandy diaz now step off throw to first
00:39:18no he got it fraley back in on the dive
00:39:42and the old one this one in the air center field
00:39:50two down
00:39:54up next for tampa bay there comes a skipper out of the dugout and he's ready to make the move
00:39:59brent suitor out of the game to run ball game as he heads for the dugout and we'll be back
00:40:05with a new pitcher
00:40:11now pitching for new pitcher in the game for the angels joey lucchese he's certainly been one of their
00:40:16better relief pitchers this season the numbers are really solid so they feel great about handing the ball over to
00:40:22him
00:40:29step off throw to first and he's back in on a dive
00:40:41outside low ball one
00:40:51that's towards center adele settles underneath it and makes the grab and that is that one left for tampa
00:41:00they're up six four
00:41:06well we go bottom six so and now for the angels nolan shanuel
00:41:13gets the outside corner with that one you know these angels doing a good job of simply getting
00:41:18the bat on the ball in this game and the numbers back that up only two strikeouts so far and
00:41:24obviously
00:41:24they've been able to pick up plenty of hits so it's been an impressive one whips it to first
00:41:29leadoff man retired in the sixth and i think those numbers we were talking about do a really good job
00:41:35of showing us how the offense is taking what they can get at the plate
00:41:43well
00:41:46the halos down by a pair here in the bottom of the sixth that one inside look out
00:41:56pitch in the dirt and now three you know
00:42:03right through there for a strike
00:42:09rips that one center field brings it in with a nice running grab and there are two outs
00:42:16nothing instills more confidence in a team than a center fielder who makes a great play like that on
00:42:21the line they can feed off the energy he brings just from his playmaking abilities
00:42:26solaire in the box as he fouls off the first pitch
00:42:30chew down nobody on
00:42:33no question about this one it's out of here
00:42:41for hey solaire goes deep and they cut into the deficit
00:42:46it he really needed that swing he hasn't been getting a ton of results at the plate lately so
00:42:51i'm sure that one felt especially good
00:42:56looks like this guy was looking out over the plate but he was ready to turn on the inside
00:43:01fastball so direct to the pitch absolutely blasted out of this ballpark
00:43:17down here is joan moncada
00:43:21outside and that's ball one
00:43:28a little bit low he's just missing with some pitches that i mean those are they're not strikes
00:43:33and that's what you think of good pitches to strike but three times pictures are trying to tease the
00:43:38zone and the last two pitches this looks like extra bases around first heading for two and now the
00:43:44tying run is into scoring position now this has been a really nice game at the plate for him he
00:43:50looks
00:43:50locked in the left fielder now a pretty big get back coming up with a chance to even this ball
00:43:54game up
00:44:00that one finds the zone strike one
00:44:07yeah that's fouled off
00:44:12and on second two down
00:44:15swing and he popped it up a ronda
00:44:20and the inning is over
00:44:23but the angels draw a bit closer thanks to this solo homer it's now six five you're watching tampa
00:44:31bay rays baseball on the show florida
00:44:37now
00:44:39welcome back we're in the seventh we have a new pitcher on the map
00:44:41kirby yates pretty tight game so they're looking for quality pitches out of them right here
00:44:47got to do his best to keep the score right where it is
00:44:50well one run game leading off junior camonero one for three
00:44:58there's the strike 95 of that one late in the game everyone gets a little tighter way to get ahead
00:45:04on a really good hitter right there
00:45:12that one ripped but foul
00:45:24and the oh two oh two fastball way out of the zone i think he's trying to speed him up
00:45:30got to stay back off speed's probably coming
00:45:42up next for tampa bay the left fielder
00:46:25the center fielder johnny
00:46:38the other one
00:46:53swings through that one out front that time this guy's pounding the zone hitters don't have time to think in
00:46:58between pitches
00:47:03two down nobody on right side and that one finds its way through and that extends the inning
00:47:12well that certainly feels good when you can win the at-bat after being down in the count
00:47:17up against it with two strikes right there just a simple ground ball the other way they
00:47:21had eyes on it man sometimes that's all you need to do just let the ball travel put the ball
00:47:25in
00:47:26play and just hope it finds a hole and now they've got some speed on first so we'll see if
00:47:29they try
00:47:30to get him into motion now pitching a new pitcher in the game for the Angels Ben Joyce always had
00:47:38trouble at times keeping the ball in the park this season something to keep in mind here
00:47:59quick toss the first dives back in safely
00:48:12in the air left field brings it in and that is that
00:48:20nice work from the angel pen there seventh inning stretch time it's the Rays six and the Halos five
00:48:27this is Rays now we're back in a new pitcher here to start the bottom of the seventh Garrett Clevenger
00:48:36these are the spots relievers really make a name for themselves late and close and there's not much
00:48:43margin for error but at the same time there's a reason they're put in these situations ball inside
00:48:54right down to shoot strike one
00:48:59and that one is inside good slider down and it can be so hard to get on playing with you're
00:49:05better off
00:49:05taking that pitch
00:49:12got him swinging for the strikeout one away big time out leading off the home seven a big first out
00:49:19here
00:49:20in the seventh via the punch out yeah it just does so much to change the outlook of an important
00:49:25inning
00:49:25like this but you got the leadoff hitter so critical and setting the table when you got a tight game
00:49:30like
00:49:31this so a strikeout really puts them on their heels oh happy thought that one missed and here comes a
00:49:36challenge good eye at the plate they'll overturn the call they'll keep their remaining challenge
00:49:43looking to get the tying run on base when you get ahead in the count there's no doubt that the
00:49:48success rate goes up and that's what he's been doing it's made a big impact for him in recent games
00:50:02just missed almost feel like he's frustrated a little bit he wants to be challenged
00:50:06josh low on deck for the angels then boy that was the pitch 3-1 you want to be really
00:50:12aggressive on the fastball
00:50:15strike three and that's two in a row
00:50:17very strong coming out of the pen so far as he punches out the first two batters he's faced in
00:50:22this one
00:50:22getting straight to work man it's talked about a lot but relievers are just so electric these days
00:50:28these aren't fun at bats if you're a hitter i'm so glad i'm retired slings it across
00:50:32inning over and the angels are gone in order still a tight ball game it's 6-5
00:50:42welcome back and a new arm on the mound to start the eighth drew pomerant and he's got a big
00:50:48time
00:50:48breaking ball to kick in with hitters gonna have to pick it up early if they're gonna have any chance
00:51:03big ball game it's it's going to miss
00:51:26deal two
00:51:28One away on the strikeout.
00:51:29Well, take a look at the three-pitch sequence here.
00:51:32Pretty simple in terms of putting them away at the plate.
00:51:35Once you're ahead 0-2 as a pitcher,
00:51:37you can really expand the zone
00:51:39and see how aggressive that hitter's going to be
00:51:41trying to protect and battle.
00:51:42And right there, clearly he was in swing mode,
00:51:44but all you can do is hope to foul that off.
00:51:48Action in the Angels' bullpen.
00:51:50Robert Stevenson, the closer, is getting loose.
00:51:590-1 now.
00:52:01Oh.
00:52:15Nice grab.
00:52:17And they get the out.
00:52:21Up next for Tampa Bay, the right fielder, Jake.
00:52:24Two down, base is empty.
00:52:26So, next to the plate for Tampa Bay, Jake Fraley.
00:52:29Good swing out of him last time.
00:52:31Ripped a liner in the center.
00:52:37And it's fouled away.
00:52:47You'll want.
00:52:49Tap foul to play.
00:52:54Two down, nobody on.
00:52:55And we're at the top of the eighth.
00:53:03High chopper to third.
00:53:05Moncada.
00:53:06Tosses across the first.
00:53:08And the inning is over.
00:53:10Down in order go the Rays.
00:53:12They lead it, however, at 6-5.
00:53:18Back in Anaheim.
00:53:19So, in now for the Angels, Joe O'Dell.
00:53:24And fouled off.
00:53:26It's a tough pitch, but in terms of the best pitch you're going to get to hit in the at
00:53:32-bat,
00:53:32that fastball was down enough where you're going to catch up to one, that's the one.
00:53:37When he elevates, guys aren't touched it.
00:53:41Swing and a ball hammered.
00:53:43Left field.
00:53:43Carrying well.
00:53:45On the warning track.
00:53:47And hauls it in.
00:53:52Up next for the Angels.
00:53:55The first baseman.
00:53:56Nowhere.
00:53:58This one in the air center field.
00:54:01DeLuca on the move.
00:54:03Two up, two down.
00:54:07Up next for the Angels.
00:54:09Now it's the second baseman.
00:54:11Oswald.
00:54:17Oza.
00:54:180 for 3 in this one.
00:54:22Man.
00:54:23I mean, nice job just presenting it to be better than it actually was.
00:54:28And at the review, it was a ball.
00:54:30Good eye.
00:54:31So they get to hang on to their second challenge.
00:54:36Chew down, nobody on.
00:54:39Ooh, Bayer.
00:54:40You've got to remember to take the donut off the bat, partner.
00:54:47At the ball.
00:55:00And now two and two.
00:55:03In the air to left center.
00:55:06DeLuca under it.
00:55:08And that is that.
00:55:10Angels held in check.
00:55:12This one remains close.
00:55:146-5.
00:55:19All set to start the ninth in this one.
00:55:22Yandy Diaz.
00:55:23Top five at batting average.
00:55:25It has been a nightmare for pitchers this season, Singy.
00:55:28Yeah, the swing is simple, Boog.
00:55:30Repeatable and deadly.
00:55:32Remarkable consistency.
00:55:33Let's see.
00:55:49Fastball for a strike.
00:55:51Pomerantz.
00:55:52A former all-star.
00:55:5337 years young.
00:55:55A former first-round pick back in 2010.
00:56:00And that one hammered out of here.
00:56:07A solo shot.
00:56:09His 13th home run of the season.
00:56:12And they tack one on the board.
00:56:14It's 7-5.
00:56:16A little more breathing room is always a good thing in baseball.
00:56:19And now they have it.
00:56:23So impressive how he was able to go down and get this fastball,
00:56:27but yet get it up in the air,
00:56:28get it far enough to get out of this ballpark.
00:56:31Manager out of the dugout now.
00:56:32And it looks like we'll see a change on the mound.
00:56:35Drew Pomerantz is done.
00:56:37We'll be back in a minute with a new arm on the mound.
00:56:44Now picking for the Angels,
00:56:47number 24, Robert.
00:57:00He's turning BP into a lifestyle.
00:57:03I mean,
00:57:03pitchers are calling their parents after games just to decompress.
00:57:12Nobody on,
00:57:13nobody out with a run in.
00:57:15Here at the top of the night.
00:57:21Out towards right center field.
00:57:24Peraza moving under this one.
00:57:27And there's one away.
00:57:30That's a tough play for the infielder,
00:57:32ranging back into the outfield.
00:57:33There's a part of him that's saying,
00:57:34hey, where are you at, outfielder?
00:57:36Call me off.
00:57:37But he stayed focused and made a nice catch right there.
00:57:43Caminero in the box with one away as he takes ball one.
00:57:53That one drilled left field up against the wall and brings it in.
00:58:01Man,
00:58:01that's one of those at-bats where you have to remind yourself it's about the process.
00:58:05He did everything right,
00:58:06right there,
00:58:07nothing to show for it.
00:58:08But in your mind,
00:58:09you have to convince yourself that it was a very good at-bat.
00:58:18There it was.
00:58:18Oh,
00:58:19oh,
00:58:19here it is.
00:58:20Hit it.
00:58:20He gets a take.
00:58:21Gets ahead in the count.
00:58:29Strike two.
00:58:40Two down,
00:58:41nobody on.
00:58:42Line drive.
00:58:44And he can't make the play.
00:58:52Up next for Tampa Bay,
00:58:54the center fielder,
00:58:55Johnny DeLuca.
00:58:57Now up for Tampa Bay,
00:58:59Johnny DeLuca.
00:59:12Simpson leads off first with two down to the inning.
00:59:17Runner on the goal.
00:59:19There's a ball.
00:59:21Throw safe.
00:59:22That's a stolen base.
00:59:24That's 20 stolen bases for him this season.
00:59:27Couldn't have picked a better pitch to go on.
00:59:29It looked like he was going no matter what.
00:59:31But you steal bases so many times off the pitcher.
00:59:35You get that jump there.
00:59:37And if the catcher's great,
00:59:38he can make up the time.
00:59:39But if you've got good speed,
00:59:41he's not going to make it up.
00:59:42Now a check on him at second.
00:59:43Back safely.
00:59:50And it's second.
00:59:52And a swing and a miss there.
01:00:02Struck him out swinging.
01:00:05They limit the damage here.
01:00:07Solo Homer extends the lead for Tampa Bay.
01:00:10And it's 7-5.
01:00:12You're watching Tampa Bay Rays baseball on the show, Florida.
01:00:23Back now as they hand the ball to a fresh arm
01:00:26to start at the bottom of the ninth.
01:00:27Edwin Uceda.
01:00:29Hey, look.
01:00:29We'll see how it factors in.
01:00:30And I just can't emphasize
01:00:32how much that insurance run
01:00:33in the top of the ninth means.
01:00:35I mean, just such a big difference mentally
01:00:37when you're chasing two runs instead of one.
01:00:40The designated hitter.
01:00:41One hand.
01:00:43No land.
01:00:46Oh!
01:00:59Here's a 1-1.
01:01:03And he swings through that one.
01:01:05Well, at that velocity,
01:01:06if that's all you're seeing,
01:01:0788, you can handle that all day long.
01:01:09That's what you get in batting practice.
01:01:11But off the velocity of the fastball,
01:01:13that is a very tough pitch to adjust to.
01:01:16And that'll bring the tying run to the plate.
01:01:19Clearly seeing the ball very well in this one.
01:01:21Just a solid swing right there.
01:01:23Caught it out front
01:01:24and ripped it into the outfield for the base hit.
01:01:27Those always feel great.
01:01:34No!
01:01:35That's a ball!
01:01:39That one finds a corner.
01:01:40That's strike one.
01:01:47No!
01:01:47That's a ball!
01:01:48Well, an interesting situation.
01:01:49One swing, you can tie up the ball game.
01:01:51But if you're patient and work a walk,
01:01:53then you bring the game-winning run to the plate.
01:02:01Out towards right center.
01:02:03That's well struck.
01:02:04That one carrying.
01:02:06Out of here!
01:02:10The two-run shot,
01:02:12and we are tied.
01:02:14That swing completely changes the momentum of this game, Boog.
01:02:34Knew what pitch he wanted to hit,
01:02:36spit on some other pitches in this.
01:02:38said Badd was very patient,
01:02:39and it paid off.
01:02:41So it's all tied up,
01:02:42thanks to the home run.
01:02:44Here's Adam Frazier.
01:02:48Check swing,
01:02:49and he went.
01:02:50And that is strike one.
01:02:59Ball-in.
01:03:07In there, at the knees.
01:03:09Frazier wants to challenge this,
01:03:11thought it was a ball.
01:03:12And the strike is overturned after review.
01:03:16They'll keep their remaining challenge.
01:03:24Right through there for his strike.
01:03:32The next offering misses.
01:03:34And now three and two.
01:03:40Keeps the event going with a foul ball.
01:03:44Nobody out with a pair of runs across in the frame.
01:03:47We're in the last half of the ninth inning.
01:03:49Just a slow ground ball this time.
01:03:51Flips it.
01:03:52It's there,
01:03:53and that's a great play.
01:03:55The batter number nine.
01:03:57Shortstop.
01:03:58Next.
01:03:59Let go.
01:04:05Hard hit.
01:04:06Left side.
01:04:08Gets it to first,
01:04:09and they got him.
01:04:14Logan Ohapi.
01:04:21The next to hit for the Angels.
01:04:23He's already homered in this game.
01:04:28That's him for a strike.
01:04:35That one found hard the other way.
01:04:40Ohapi trying to send this extra innings.
01:04:44On the ground to the left.
01:04:47Slings to first.
01:04:49That's the third out,
01:04:50and we're headed to extras.
01:04:52So they push across the two runs they needed
01:04:55in the bottom of the ninth,
01:04:56and we'll play.
01:04:58Back here at Angels Stadium.
01:04:59On to extra innings.
01:05:02Richie Palacios now at the plate.
01:05:05Moved to second.
01:05:06He's back in easily.
01:05:19Swag on.
01:05:20Belted.
01:05:23Carrying well.
01:05:24Out of here.
01:05:28A two-run homer.
01:05:30His second of the year.
01:05:32And the Rays take the lead.
01:05:34It's 9-7.
01:05:36You're not going to be able to wipe the smile
01:05:38off his face for a while, Boone.
01:05:40He just changed the game.
01:05:53Love to see a hitter aggressive
01:05:55on the first pitch of an at-bat.
01:05:57You watch him from the on-deck circle,
01:05:58so when you step in the box,
01:06:00you're ready to pull the trigger
01:06:01wherever it's at.
01:06:03Really good job by the hitter.
01:06:05Total conviction on that swing.
01:06:14In the air, right field, low.
01:06:17Should have this one.
01:06:18And there's one down.
01:06:23Now here is Hunter Faduccia.
01:06:26Hunter Faduccia.
01:06:35High fly ball lifted in the air,
01:06:37right field.
01:06:39And there's two down.
01:06:45Up next for Tampa Bay,
01:06:47the right field.
01:07:04On the ground, the first.
01:07:07He takes it himself to the bag,
01:07:09and that'll do it.
01:07:10Two runs on one hit.
01:07:12The two-run homer.
01:07:13Last chance to even things up.
01:07:15We head to the bottom of inning number 10.
01:07:20Now picking forward.
01:07:21Back here in extras.
01:07:22And a new pitcher on the mound
01:07:23at the bottom half of the inning.
01:07:25Yoandris Gomez.
01:07:28Now it's the right fielder,
01:07:29Josh Lowe.
01:07:30Josh Lowe.
01:07:30He's already homered here in this one.
01:07:33This one chopped on the ground,
01:07:35but foul.
01:07:42And that one fouled off.
01:07:47Tied run at the plate.
01:07:49And that one missing Lowe.
01:07:56Foul ball left side.
01:07:57He'll see another.
01:08:02The one-two.
01:08:10That's the third Caminero.
01:08:14Fires across the diamond.
01:08:15Out on a bang-bang play,
01:08:17but he made it close.
01:08:18That's why you hug the lines
01:08:20on the corners
01:08:21late in the ball game like this.
01:08:23Positioned perfectly.
01:08:24Oh, no.
01:08:30In the dirt.
01:08:31Blocked.
01:08:34And the runner holds.
01:08:41The tying run at the plate.
01:08:43Check swing.
01:08:45Yelled up.
01:08:45And that's ball two.
01:08:50Lifted in the air.
01:08:51Left field.
01:08:52Pretty well struck.
01:08:53Takes it in for the out.
01:08:57Just pulled off of it
01:08:58a little bit right there.
01:09:00That front shoulder coming open
01:09:01instead of staying closed.
01:09:03If he does that,
01:09:04he's going to be able
01:09:05to go up the middle
01:09:06the other way
01:09:06with some authority
01:09:07instead of a fly out to left.
01:09:09Shanawell.
01:09:10In the box now.
01:09:11Takes strike one.
01:09:14And this one squirts away
01:09:16from the catcher.
01:09:17To third.
01:09:18The tag's there.
01:09:19And that's the ball game.
01:09:22Well, this is a big win
01:09:24on the road
01:09:24and going extras
01:09:25into ten.
01:09:26So hard to pull those out,
01:09:28but I think this team
01:09:29did a great job
01:09:29of keeping the crowd
01:09:31out of the ball game late.
01:09:32When you can do that,
01:09:33it kind of calms
01:09:34everything down
01:09:35keeps the adrenaline
01:09:36of the opposing team
01:09:37down a bit
01:09:38and you can steal a win
01:09:40and get out of here happy.
01:09:41And 9-7
01:09:42is the final
01:09:43here in this one.
