00:01And for the Giants, having won three in a row here over the Rockies,
00:05including a doubleheader sweep yesterday in which the pitching staff only allowed one run.
00:10Really impressive, powerful pitching for the Giants yesterday, most notably Blake Snell.
00:16Now today, the Giants will have a bullpen game.
00:18We'll probably see several guys, maybe a couple innings each today.
00:22So Jordan's not going to start the game.
00:24We'll go with Miller to start, which he's done quite a few times before, so he's used to that.
00:28And then we'll mix and match and see who's available after the doubleheader yesterday.
00:33Tovar lifts a fly ball into center, in a little bit, and to his right, Hill.
00:381-0.
00:39I guess Laz Diaz was, did he just give a clock violation to?
00:44Charlie Blackman.
00:45To Blackman.
00:46So now it's 2-2.
00:472-2 pitch.
00:49Swing and a miss.
00:49He struck him out with a changeup.
00:52Strikeout number one for Laz Diaz, as well as Eric Miller.
00:57There are two outs here in the first.
00:59Doyle, in the series, is 2 for 12.
01:02Swing and a miss.
01:03He struck him out.
01:04High fastball at 98.
01:061-2-3 first inning.
01:08Two strikeouts.
01:09Gomber making his 20th start.
01:12Not great numbers all time against the Giants.
01:142-4 with a 7-plus ERA.
01:172-2, swing and a miss.
01:19Got him with a fastball.
01:21And Austin Gomber starts his afternoon off with a strikeout.
01:25Schmidt hasn't played a great deal in this series.
01:28His only at-bat was a triple.
01:30Schmidt hits a high drive.
01:33Left field.
01:35Out of here.
01:37Halfway up in the bleachers in left center field.
01:40Casey Schmidt with his third big league home run this year.
01:45That was a laser beam.
01:46That would be a great at bat.
01:47He really worked to count his favor.
01:49Laid off a couple of teasers to get to the 3-1 count.
01:52And then Gomber comes right across the knees with a fastball down and in.
01:56And he teetered up at Pebble Beach.
01:58Back-to-back strikeouts for Gomber here in the second.
02:01It brings up Conforto.
02:03Conforto looking for his first hit in the series.
02:05He's 0 for 7.
02:06Swing.
02:06There's a liner toward left center.
02:08That's going to get in there.
02:08Base hit.
02:09And it rolls all the way out to the warning track.
02:12Cut off then by Hilliard.
02:13Here's the throw in the second.
02:14The slide by Conforto.
02:16Double.
02:17He really, really needed that.
02:19Here's Derek Hill.
02:20He's the newest San Francisco Giant.
02:23Swing.
02:23And there's a high drive out toward Triples Alley.
02:26Way back there.
02:26Still going.
02:27That one is going to go all the way to the wall.
02:29A lot of bounce.
02:30Into the seventh archway.
02:32The run scores.
02:33Hill sprinting around second.
02:35Going into third.
02:36A stand-up triple.
02:382-0 Giants.
02:40Hit the ball.
02:40He's carrying pretty good today.
02:41That's a good day to hit.
02:43Back-to-back.
02:44Opposite field.
02:45Extra base hit.
02:46And nobody even got close to it.
02:48That's an impressive swing of the bat.
02:49As we learned Hill.
02:51We knew he had a good opposite field approach.
02:53And boy, did he prove it without a bat.
02:55Bang, bang.
02:56Two strikeouts.
02:57And then double, triple.
02:58Solaire struck out his first time.
03:00Now base hit.
03:00Could mean a run.
03:01Swing.
03:02And there's a shot into the gap.
03:03Deep left center field.
03:04And one hop and up over the wall.
03:07An automatic double.
03:09A laser beam into the gap.
03:10Jorge Solaire comes through with two down.
03:133-0 Giants.
03:15Hill scoring from third.
03:16Another great attack.
03:18You get down the count.
03:19You work it full.
03:20You get a good pitch to hit.
03:21Well, Hunter Goodman's now in the game in left field.
03:23And moving from left to center is Sam Hilliard.
03:27Which means Brenton Doyle is out of the game.
03:31I was asking around.
03:32It has nothing to do with like a lower leg injury.
03:35It sounds like it has something to do with his hands.
03:38Well, Ezekiel Tovar has been a bright spot this year.
03:41He is out in the middle of the 14-game history.
03:44And he's one hit shy of a career long.
03:48And he's going to reach one of the better two-strike hitters in the game.
03:52And Tovar's picking up the speed.
03:55And he is safe at second.
03:59That is his 30th double of the year.
04:02More impressively, a 15-game hitting streak.
04:05Trying to knight his club with a hustle double.
04:09The Rockies with their first hit.
04:11First base runner.
04:13And nobody out for Charlie Blackman.
04:16Charlie will light it into right field for a base hit.
04:19Playing deep.
04:20Yastrzemski, Tovar heading to the plate.
04:23The throw is cut off.
04:24And the Rockies around the board.
04:26It is 3-1 as Blackman knocks in his 35th.
04:32The Rockies have their first run since game one yesterday.
04:36So he'll go to first.
04:37Solaire to second.
04:38Conforto to third.
04:40Tyler Fitzgerald.
04:41A chance to do some real damage here.
04:43It's about the last guy you want to see.
04:46Noah Davis needs to make one more pitch.
04:48Strike three called with a fastball.
04:51Froze Fitzgerald.
04:52And the Giants leave him loaded.
04:55Taylor Rodgers takes over.
04:56Third pitcher of the day for the Giants.
04:57They lead the Rockies 3-1.
04:59And a curve.
05:00Swung on and missed.
05:00He struck him out.
05:01Take a look at the two-strike breaking ball.
05:03Hard to throw one better than that.
05:05Now here is a swinging strike three.
05:07Now the curve ball.
05:08And he's got two straight strikeouts here.
05:11Right there.
05:12Fastball on the inside corner.
05:14Belt high.
05:15Strike three called.
05:16Taylor Rodgers.
05:17One of the most impressive innings in a while for Taylor.
05:20He strikes out the side.
05:21See the year.
05:2298 two-thirds innings.
05:2320 starts for Hicks.
05:25First appearance out of the pen.
05:26Ezekiel Tovar with that double in the fourth.
05:29Extends that hitting streak to 15 games.
05:31That's a career high for him.
05:331-2.
05:34Shallow center.
05:35And this one's going to drop.
05:38So Tovar with two more hits today.
05:41Charlie rolls one over.
05:42Tovar ends up at second base.
05:44But that's out number two.
05:45Second and back for Hunter Goodman.
05:47Still see if Hunter can come through here with two outs.
05:49Make it a one-run game.
05:51Pitch is a ground ball to the right side.
05:52That's going to find right center field for a base hit.
05:55And will score Ezekiel Tovar.
05:57There he did it.
05:580 for 20 has been snapped.
05:59Hunter Goodman drives in a run.
06:01Tovar able to score from second.
06:03Rockies cut the lead to one.
06:053-2 Giants.
06:07But now two down.
06:07Here is Tyler Fitzgerald.
06:09Noah Davis trying to work out of trouble.
06:11Keep the deficit at one.
06:12Swing and a chopper down the third base side.
06:15Into field.
06:16It is McMahon.
06:17He tries to tag.
06:19Hill going by and drops the ball.
06:21Went for the tag just as Hill went into his slide.
06:23And he lost the ball.
06:25So now the Giants get an extra shot.
06:27And here's Chapman to try and make it pay for that.
06:29Hammers it into the left.
06:31The base hit.
06:32One run scores.
06:34Here's Soler.
06:35It's going to be tight.
06:36And they missed him.
06:38McMahon jumped on the first pitch.
06:40Now waiting around.
06:41And with a two-out jump.
06:43Soler using all his speed.
06:45Looks like he almost outran the baseball.
06:47What a big hit that was for Matt Chapman.
06:50And the Giants now have a 5-2 lead.
06:53Michael Tolia has struck out twice today.
06:56Uh-oh.
06:57Tolia hits the ball well to left.
06:59And it is well enough to get over the wall.
07:02Home run Michael Tolia.
07:04His team leading 18.
07:06And it's 5-3.
07:08And the remarkable thing for Michael is that he has hit two-thirds of his home runs away from Denver.
07:16That's his 12th out of the 18 he has hit this year.
07:20Tying runs on with two outs here in the eighth inning.
07:24And Ryan McMahon 0-3 on the day.
07:28Trying to get the Rockies a little bit closer.
07:31Bivens 3-2 is up and in.
07:34Ball four.
07:35And that loads the bases for Brendan Rodgers.
07:38And now you throw out a base hit.
07:41In all likelihood the game will be knotted up.
07:44Ground ball to third to his left.
07:46Chapman's got it.
07:47Flips it over to second.
07:48And wisely covering in time for the force out on McMahon.
07:51And the inning is over.
07:53They had to get more outs than normal.
07:55But Bivens gets through it.
07:57Three men left on base.
07:59All right.
07:59Here we go.
08:00Camilo Doval who has had 19 saves in 23 chances this year.
08:06Going for number 20 against these Rockies.
08:08Tolia is going to head to third.
08:10No one out to a board for the Rockies here in the ninth.
08:14So Jacob Stallings hit list today.
08:19Right on right with Doval.
08:20He hits it up the middle.
08:22Backhanded by Wisely.
08:24His only play is to first.
08:26Scoring Tolia.
08:28Cave got to second.
08:29It's the first out.
08:31But the tying run in scoring position with one out.
08:35Doval pitches.
08:36Struck and outswing.
08:38He got in a chase.
08:39An even lower slider that time.
08:41Although he needs only one out more for a Giants win.
08:44The Rockies hottest hitter and one of the hottest hitters in baseball is coming up.
08:50Tolvarez had three hits today.
08:52Swing the bat especially well today.
08:54On the ground.
08:57Ball hit.
08:58So the Rockies make some noise in the ninth.
09:02But the Giants hold on.
09:03They sweep the Rockies in a four game series.
09:07And I guess Mike they did what they had to do today given the fact that they used the whole
09:12ball pit.
