00:01and as the Giants and Reds get together tonight it's a little bit like the Ed Sullivan show the
00:06day after the Beatles played we saw the 18th no-hitter in San Francisco Giants history tonight
00:14the Giants are going to try to make it two in a row against the Reds three in a row
00:19overall and
00:19get back to 500 they have not been at 500 since late May it is a goal for this group
00:25and then take
00:26it beyond that and we'll see what they can do against Hunter Green well this talented right-hander has been
00:31excellent didn't really want to change to the month of August because July was spectacular to Lamont Wade Jr. who
00:39is an on-base machine at 420 3-2 fastball outside corner and Wade can't believe it but that is
00:47the essence of Hunter Green in one pitch so much confidence in a pitch to be able to locate that
00:54down and away a perfect pitch
00:56pitch pitch and getting that big strikeout to start the game oh boy busted him in the attic with a
01:03fastball back-to-back punch outs for Hunter Green Hunter Green trying to strike out the side which he does
01:10strikes out the side and the first just like Blake Snell did against the Reds last night trying to come
01:17up with just a hit to start off against a very young left-hander top prospect for the Giants now
01:22a major leaguer Kyle Harrison 22 year old that turns 23
01:2623 on the 12th and that's ball four he takes outside India's aboard with a leadoff walk that's a leadoff
01:33walk issued by Harrison now he got to wrestle with the Reds star shortstop Ellie Dela Cruz Ellie Dela Cruz
01:41hard hit right at third Chapman for Schmidt and you're not going to double him off it better be 150
01:47miles an hour off the bat to get a double play on him line to right and that is right
01:53right at your stream ski who caught the final out of Snell's no hitter last night with two down you
02:00wonder whether maybe a little more willing to go there he goes the pitch taken high here's the throw the
02:05tag he is out at second and Bailey took advantage of it an excellent tag by Schmidt and they got
02:13him by plenty that gentleman on your screen smiling and hugging his catcher joins us from down in the dugout
02:19Blake Snell
02:20off your first complete game shutout no hitter all of it at once first of all congratulations me and Pat
02:27I mean we've been talking about it the whole year now like we're gonna do it we're gonna we're gonna
02:32go nine we weren't saying no hitter but we're like we're gonna go nine
02:36um so for us to do that that moment was pretty special and for us just like laugh we were
02:40kind of laughing at each other like we called it hey the only thing went wrong was the the lid
02:46from the cooler oof I mean I got a bump no I'm just kidding but um yeah it didn't feel
02:52good and then the cold water on top of that kind of I didn't know what to say for a
02:57second the second baseman Schmidt was shading toward the bag and he'll field and throw out France one down in
03:04the second inning and now Tyler
03:05Stevenson right-handed hitter the catcher he's got power ball crack to center field Ramos his back on it he's
03:12at the warning track and Tyler Stevenson's 12th home run and Cincinnati has a hit and a loud one look
03:22one of those high fastballs and he got on top of it had some backspin to which carries out it's
03:28a favorable hitting ballpark as we all know it's known for that that's huge for the Reds offense so the
03:34velocity
03:35velocity is certainly there now for Kyle Harrison he picks up his second strikeout Jonathan India who walked his first
03:42time up to lead off the Reds bottom of the first inning Harrison throws and just misses I mean not
03:50really that that was in the zone according to the uh the stat cast strike zone but called a ball
03:57I guess a little low so now
03:593-2 that ball is cannon fire way out of here Jonathan India a pitch after nearly striking out tattoos
04:14a baseball the breaking ball has been quite the friend of one left-hander Kyle Harrison he tried to sneak
04:23it over the plate there and Jonathan India said I don't think so
04:27and strike three called frozen with a fastball over the outside corner Chapman's down on strike seven for Green tonight
04:35surgery on the outside corner by Hunter Green right side that's through there will be no no hitter in Cincinnati
04:44tonight Michael Conforto breaks it up with two out of the fourth
04:49swing and a miss he struck him out eight strikeouts for Hunter Green through four shutout innings what do you
04:56do with that slider it's got it all coming the first non home run hit by the Reds tonight
05:02Ty France the Reds with their leadoff man on see if they can cash in here and swings and he
05:08shoots one through the right side of the infield for a base hit steer to second and holding and the
05:13Reds have two on with nobody out for Ty France that snaps at 0 for 18
05:17Stephenson homered his first time up as he bats here with two on and nobody out
05:23center field again Ramos back track and wall and this one's out of here
05:31straight away thunder again from Stephenson have a night Tyler Stephenson couple of center field shots how about that
05:42second one tonight that had different sound on it Riedel's down on strike way to get cheated on that swing
05:50but two away here's
05:52to repair time that's crushed down the left field side toward the ball it goes fair and gone ringing back
06:00in as
06:01Fairchild hits a buzzsaw well I think Blake Snell set them up for the aggravation of coming out and getting
06:09your home run
06:10shoes on the reds are really coming out driving the baseball different night
06:16a little run on that fastball
06:18and he pops this up for a strikeout number nine
06:22Hunter Green right back to green a boomerang and so one two three fifth that quick hitting might have earned
06:30him an extra inning later in the game
06:32the only hit tonight for the Giants single through the right side off of that of Michael Conforto with two
06:38outs in the fourth inning
06:39now Elliott Ramos who is 0 for 2 nobody's close to Hunter Green right now double figures in strikeouts just
06:48reached
06:48back and said hey I'm gonna throw this fastball let's see if you can hit it and he put Ramos
06:54in the book two gone here in the sixth
06:57Bayley's 0 for 2 tonight here's the 2-2 on pitch number 100 strike three again
07:0611 tickets punched by Hunter Green tonight and this crowd loves it so Wilson will go to work against Matt
07:16Chapman
07:17first offering to Matt Chapman is lined out to deep center on the run Friedel it's over his head off
07:23the warning track up against the bottom of the wall
07:25Friedel trouble playing the carom
07:26Chapman around second digging for third and he'll make it in with a dive as the throw bounces away and
07:33rolls into the Giants dugout
07:36and Chapman
07:40up against the bottom of the wall
07:45and then the
07:47throw to third
07:48it rolled away
07:51Marte couldn't knock it down and it rolled right into the Giants dugout and Chapman was awarded home
07:57the old little league homer
07:59I think it's safe to say that everybody's happy on the Giants side that Hunter Green's not in the game
08:04anymore
08:04it took one pitch and they had a run
08:08high in the air deep left field will Benson just in the game is back at the wall and the
08:12Giants have their second run of the ball game
08:16you never know it's six to two
08:20Michael Conforto
08:22goes deep to left
08:23now Conforto was the only one that solved Green with that single the lone single but what a beautiful swing
08:31I think Hunter Green leaving the game really opened the eyes of the Giants hitters why not
08:36Fairchild is there and he catches it for our number two Gerrard Encarnacion his first at bat of the game
08:43swings it's a high fly ball right center field and deep Friedel back it is gone up over the right
08:51center field wall
08:52and Encarnacion a little flourish as he rounds first base his first Giants home run his fourth big league homer
09:02and it's six to three
09:05well that's why he's here
09:07he's here to do damage and man that's got to feel good for the big fella
09:10last night I'm sure there's a little bit of nerves going in throughout his body
09:14wasn't catching up to the fastball but this time he did not mess around
09:18the lights are back on they flipped them off for Alexis Diaz into the ball game
09:24there one ball one strike on Chapman who doubled and scored last time
09:28yeah 21 of 23 for Diaz
09:31and closing out
09:33ideal situation for him here

09:40six to four
09:42the Giants are not done
09:45Matt Chapman makes it a two run game
09:48that's the third Giants home run in the late innings

10:07and there's one gone in the ninth
10:08that's how he got the chase last time
