00:22From inside
00:23Tropicana Field here in Tampa Bay
00:25we bring you Wednesday night
00:27baseball on the show
00:29it's the Kansas City Royals taking on
00:31the Tampa Bay Rays
00:34first pitch coming at you right after the break
00:41getting the nod in this one
00:43Ryan Pepeo
00:45Chris how about a scouting report
00:46veteran guy out there on the hill
00:48so ready for anything and everything
00:50that will come his way
00:51I'm sure he's got a solid plan of attack
00:53against this offense
00:54all right ready to go here
00:56Jonathan India steps in for the Royals
01:00and we're off and rolling in Tampa Bay
01:08that's a ball
01:17in the air right field
01:20one down
01:24okay let's check out the lineup
01:26with their ace on the mound today
01:28they're just looking to provide him a little bit of run support
01:32and they'll see what they can do for him
01:33with an ace on the bump
01:35it's crucial not to become complacent
01:37this lineup still has a job to do
01:39if they're going to come away with a win
01:44on the ground
01:47fires over to first
01:48two quick outs at the top of the first here tonight
01:51hey man four pitches two outs
01:53that is an excellent pace
01:55Lau at the plate
02:02foul ball there
02:04Lau launched a homer in his most recent game
02:14two down
02:15nobody on
02:18swing and a ground ball
02:19into the outfield
02:21base hit
02:22so a two out knock
02:23keeps the inning alive
02:25just goes down and gets it
02:26looks like it's a breaking ball
02:28but he's so good
02:29went down and got it
02:33digging in
02:34Vinny Pasquantino
02:35and that's in there at the knees
02:38for a strike
02:42next pitch downstairs
02:44one ball one strike
02:45Lau off of first with two away
02:48just missed
02:50good slider down and in
02:52can be so hard to get on
02:53plane with
02:54you're better off taking that pitch
02:55the next offering misses
02:57ball three
02:58he's just missing with some pitches
03:00that
03:01I mean those are
03:02they're not strikes
03:03and that's what you think
03:04good pitches a strike
03:05but
03:05so many times pitchers are trying to tease the zone
03:08and the last two pitches that he's thrown
03:09good pitches
03:10but he's out number three
03:13and now the Rays will get their first opportunity
03:16in a scoreless ball game
03:17you're watching
03:18Tampa Bay Rays baseball
03:19on the show
03:20Florida
03:23back now in Tampa Bay
03:25and on the mound for Kansas City
03:27in this one Cole Reagans
03:29what should we keep an eye on here
03:30a really good outing for him last time
03:33scattered two runs
03:34was attacking hitters
03:35getting ahead in the count
03:37great performance
03:38we'll see if he can do it again in this one
03:40stepping in
03:41Yandy Diaz
03:43that one's upstairs
03:45ball one
03:46Diaz
03:47with some impressive production lately
03:55line drive
03:56he brings it down
03:57nice play
03:59all right
04:00let's take a look at the Rays lineup
04:02with an excellent arm on the mound
04:04this won't be easy
04:06they'll need to take advantage of the opportunities
04:08that they do have
04:09you're right about that
04:10Boob
04:10odds are they won't have many chances against this guy
04:13but if they can rattle him out of the gates
04:15they'll have a shot
04:16if not
04:17look out
04:17it might be a long day for this offense
04:21Jonathan Arunda
04:22in the box now
04:23no balls and a strike
04:24he boasts a batting average
04:25that ranks top 10 in the league
04:27at the moment
04:29singe
04:31line drive to short
04:32and caught
04:33that at bat is a positive sign
04:35even though it probably doesn't feel like it
04:37he hit the ball hard
04:38but it doesn't always work out in your favor
04:40sometimes a defender is there to make a play
04:43two down base is empty
04:44Junior Caminero
04:46next to hit for the Rays
04:49he left that changeup up
04:51got away with one there
04:52and he'll take it
04:54but doesn't want to make that mistake again
04:59next offering is foul back
05:09breaking ball
05:10and that got him
05:14so a man at first
05:16now it's the right fielder
05:18Jake Fraley
05:19two for nine so far in the series
05:35out towards right center field
05:37is built
05:38on the move
05:39and that is that
05:43nothing in the Tampa first
05:45onto the second now
05:46for Tropicana
05:47still nothing nothing
05:52back here in Tampa Bay
05:54all set for the start of the inning
05:55Ryan O'Hearn
05:57steps in for the Royals
06:04and one fouled off
06:09deal one
06:13ball one
06:22that's a ball
06:30oh can't pick it up cleanly
06:32flips it
06:33and they get it
06:34the misplay made it a bit messy
06:36but they clean things up for the out
06:38Michael Garcia
06:41now the third baseman
06:42Michael Garcia
06:50Garcia
06:51matched a homer
06:52in his last game
06:54no score here
06:56on the second
07:01that's ball too
07:08and he hits a ground ball
07:09right side
07:10and that's just
07:12foul
07:22two-two now
07:26right side
07:27hard hit
07:28in plenty of time
07:30to first
07:30two up
07:31two down
07:31at the top of the second
07:32catcher
07:33Salvador Perez
07:36and now it's
07:37Salvador Perez
07:38to the play
07:43high fly ball
07:44lifted in the year
07:45right field
07:47and that is that
07:51we'll go to the bottom
07:52of the second
07:52no score
07:57bottom of the inning
07:58and stepping in
07:59for the Rays
08:00Johnny DeLuca
08:02DeLuca
08:03with a homer
08:04in his last game
08:18in the air
08:19right field
08:20O'Hearn
08:21on his way over
08:22pulls it down
08:24and he makes the catch
08:25and there's one down
08:26second baseman
08:28Richie Palacios
08:30so up next
08:31Richie Palacios
08:32big game last night
08:34he went four for five
08:39nope
08:40Reagans
08:41with a stellar run
08:42lately on the mound
08:43really carving up lineups
08:48off the plate
08:49and that's ball two
08:50some pitchers can go out there
08:52and rip off a month or two
08:53of incredible starts
08:54and right now
08:55it looks like he's in
08:56one of those grooves
08:57really fun to watch
08:59that's a base hit
09:00so they get a man aboard
09:01with a one out single
09:04I don't think that pitch
09:05would have been called a strike
09:06but
09:06he did such a nice job
09:08of pulling his hands
09:09tight to the body
09:10and just getting enough
09:11of the barrel on it
09:12to be hard enough
09:13back up the middle
09:14for a knock
09:14here's the catcher
09:16Hunter Fiduccia
09:32a swing and a miss
09:34as he chases way
09:35out of the zone
09:43chopped out towards shore
09:46to second
09:47pulls him off the bag
09:50well every double play turn
09:52starts with getting one
09:53and even though
09:54these players work
09:55on these plays
09:55during batting practice
09:57over and over again
09:58sometimes at game speed
09:59you can still mess it up
10:01could have been two outs
10:02instead they get nothing
10:10Gavin Lux
10:11in the box now
10:12takes strike one
10:13now just a cement mixer
10:15slider right there
10:16it's a great pitch to hit
10:17if you can recognize it
10:18early and jump on it
10:22now a pop up
10:23on the infield
10:27two down
10:29that was a good hard fastball
10:32with some nice ride
10:33up in the zone
10:34right there
10:34hitter
10:35looked like he was on it
10:36but I think that velocity
10:38at the end
10:38just beat him
10:39instead of a line drive
10:40or something hit deep
10:41it's a pop up
10:42and an easy out
10:44for the defense
10:48Carson Williams
10:49in the box here
10:51lets that one go for a ball
10:59swing and he popped it up
11:00win
11:03and that's the third out
11:07we'll move to the third
11:08with no score
11:15back here at Tropicana Field
11:17new inning getting started
11:18Kyle Isbell
11:19steps in for the Royals
11:24and that one fouled off
11:36right there
11:37for a strike
11:46up the middle
11:47and it finds its way through
11:50for a head
11:51so a man on base
11:52to start the inning
11:53the designated hitter
11:55Starling Marte
11:56here's Starling Marte
11:57two for seven
11:59in the series so far
12:02in the dirt
12:07Marte
12:07it is 14th season
12:10hitting ninth
12:11in today's lineup
12:11he's been on a terrific
12:13run at the plate
12:14hitting over 350
12:15in his last 10
12:20Isbell
12:21gets his lead at first
12:22with nobody out
12:25well with the
12:26amount of pitches
12:27that can end up
12:28in the dirt
12:29a good secondary lead
12:30doesn't have to get away
12:31from the catch
12:32rudder takes off
12:33cut on and miss
12:36throw to second
12:37out of bounds
12:38safe
12:38well we all know
12:39this team is struggling
12:40right now
12:41and sometimes
12:41you just got to do
12:42something different
12:43to generate some offense
12:45a little more aggressive
12:46right there
12:46to put the pressure
12:47on the opponent
12:48we'll see if it pays off
12:49on the scoreboard
12:50for this team
12:55in the air
12:56left field
12:59and that is foul
13:00clearly he was geared up
13:02for the fastball
13:03right there
13:03maybe got a little
13:04jumpy and excited
13:06out of the hand
13:06but he certainly
13:08didn't miss a stitch
13:10next offering
13:11is down low
13:12really good take
13:13especially with two strikes
13:16the Royals
13:17looking to strike first
13:19we're here in the
13:20top half of inning
13:20number three
13:22stays alive
13:32swings and misses
13:34he battled for a long time
13:36but it finishes
13:37with a strikeout
13:38you can't be mad
13:39at yourself
13:40after an event
13:40like that one
13:42Jonathan India
13:43to play
13:43fly to right

14:01and there's two away
14:04up next

14:07at how he's using
14:08his pitches
14:08in this one
14:13now here's
14:14Bobby Witt Jr
14:15he's one of the best
14:17players in the game
14:22that's a base hit
14:23run
14:24scores
14:31mission accomplished
14:32there
14:32as he picks up
14:33the RBI
14:33to give him the lead
14:34I know that was a
14:35ground ball
14:36but it was absolutely
14:37hammered through the
14:38infield
14:38that's not one
14:39you're excited
14:40to get in front of
14:41if you're an infielder
14:41you know they used
14:42to say
14:42charge it
14:43crazy
14:49misses the zone
14:50and he gets him
14:50to chase

14:52willing to use
14:53the whole field
14:53right here
14:54definitely pounding
14:55him away
14:59breaking ball
15:00in there for a
15:00strike
15:01and he'll challenge
15:02that called strike
15:04barely a hair
15:05out of the zone
15:06but it was a ball
15:07so they still
15:08got both
15:09their challenges

15:28here just got to
15:29stay focused on the
15:30pitch
15:30the runner will be
15:31in motion
15:31so something in the
15:32gap should definitely
15:33score
15:37strike him out
15:39without a swing
15:40went back to the
15:41fastball
15:42and it was effective
15:43but they pick up

16:08downstairs

16:10singing he
16:10boasts a batting
16:11average at the
16:12moment that ranks

18:57that time he got
18:58punished for it

19:00really good job of
19:01staying within himself
19:02and getting the
19:02barrel to the
19:03baseball

20:47about that two out
20:48walk
20:48the base runner
20:48over at first base
20:49is going to have
20:50a very aggressive
20:51secondary lead
20:52so ball down the
20:53line
20:53or into the gap
20:54will produce a
20:56two out RBI
20:57and those are the
20:58best
20:58that is if you are
20:59the offensive
21:00side of it
21:01Isbell stands in
21:02now and watches
21:03strike one
21:05that's in there

21:14again
21:19this one in the
21:20air center field
21:22and that'll do it

21:54well these Rays
21:55as this game goes
21:56on have to be more
21:57disciplined at the
21:58plate
21:58they're chasing a
21:59lot of pitches
22:00outside the zone
22:01and those chases
22:02that are turning
22:02into a bunch of
22:03outs
22:03can they turn
22:04that around
22:05and stay within
22:05the zone
22:06we'll see
22:07but I think
22:07they have to
22:08makes the catch
22:09catch one down
22:14and stepping in
22:16for the Rays
22:16Johnny DeLuca

22:36swing and a foul
22:37straight back
22:41the Rays
22:42down by a pair
22:43we're here
22:43at the bottom
22:44of the fourth
22:56a little out front
22:58there as he swings
22:59through it
22:59sold it really well
23:00with the arm speed
23:02swung underneath it
23:03so a changeup
23:04that stayed a little
23:05bit more
23:06and look out
23:07that one gets him
23:08the second man
23:09he's plunked
23:10in this one
23:11man at first
23:12with one gone
23:13now at the plate
23:14Richie Palacios
23:15one for one
23:17with a single
23:17so far
23:32step off
23:32throw to first
23:33and he dives
23:35back in safely
23:37man at first
23:38one away
23:47in for a strike
23:48good slider
23:58the 0-2

24:15that's out
24:16number two
24:16up next
24:17for the Rays
24:19catcher
24:19and here's a look
24:21at how he's using
24:22his pitches
24:22in this one
24:27now it's going to be
24:28Hunter for Duccia
24:290 for 1
24:30he hit into
24:31a fielder's choice
24:32his first time
24:39runner on the goal
24:40pitch in for a strike
24:43saves it second
24:44and he usually
24:45steals the bag
24:46two outs
24:47is a great time
24:48to try to steal second
24:49especially when you
24:49have a guy with some
24:50wheels on first
24:51defense probably knew
24:52it was coming
24:53but figured
24:53we better focus
24:54on trying to get
24:55this hitter out
25:03then on second
25:04two down
25:04runner goes again
25:06pitch in for a strike
25:07throw to third
25:08and he's in
25:09very easily
25:10very risky
25:11right there
25:12to try to steal third
25:13with two outs
25:14and a left-hander
25:15at the plate
25:15and there's an open lane
25:17for that catcher
25:18to throw down
25:18but he gambled
25:20now he's at third
25:2190 feet closer
25:22perhaps a ball in the dirt
25:23that gets away from the catcher
25:25and they pick up a run
25:38battling here as he fouls it away
25:51here's a rip to short
25:52but he's there
25:53for the third out
25:54just a beautiful play
25:56where's the cape
25:57in the air
25:57like superman
25:58diving catch
25:59and he ends the inning
26:05welcome back
26:06as we take a look
26:07at how today's
26:08starting pitchers
26:09have fared so far
26:19no that's down
26:31the 1-1
26:34and a ground ball
26:36to first
26:38Aranda
26:39steps on the bag
26:40one away
26:40here in the fifth
26:41up next
26:42for the Royals
26:43left fielder
26:44Jonathan
26:45so the Royals
26:46batting order
26:46turns over
26:47here's the left fielder
26:49Jonathan India
26:53that's a little bit low
27:01ball 2-1
27:08and another ball
27:09inside ball 3
27:10curveball kind of
27:10backed up on him there
27:11I think it just
27:12slid out of the hand
27:13a little bit too soon
27:17and a 3-0
27:18finds his own
27:24on the ground
27:25right side
27:26and foul ball
27:31here comes a 3-2
27:34knocks that one away
27:36and we'll do it again
27:403-2 now
27:51on a line
27:53and that's got extra bases
27:55written all over it
27:59he's in at second
28:00with a one-out double
28:03well here we are
28:04third time through the order
28:05and this is where we see
28:06the OPS jump up
28:08manager might have to go
28:09to the bullpen
28:10a little bit sooner
28:11than he anticipated
28:13one-out
28:14runner at second
28:16Bobby Witt Jr.
28:17steps in for the Royals
28:18right through there
28:20for a strike
28:24ball one
28:31swing
28:31and a miss
28:32and that strike two
28:33he has a tendency
28:34to chase out of the zone
28:35and that slider
28:36that's down
28:37that's one of his money pitches
28:38to get that swing and miss
28:40he's got it
28:41two down
28:42that was just a great jump
28:43and route to the ball
28:44well it had to be
28:46he was going to cover
28:46all that ground
28:47and bring in that sinking liner
28:49that's the
28:55had to be done
28:56nice job
28:59on the ground
29:00to short
29:02third out
29:04so one left
29:05for Kansas City
29:06but they hold
29:07the 2-0 lead
29:10we head to the bottom
29:11of the fifth
29:12and stepping in
29:13for the Rays
29:14Gavin Lux
29:21fastball for a strike
29:22well these Rays
29:24just lacking discipline
29:25at the plate
29:25in this ballgame
29:26chasing pitches
29:27has been a big part
29:28of the story
29:29we've seen it quite a bit
29:30today
29:30it's been tough for them
29:31to make contact at times
29:33and it just doesn't look
29:34like they're seeing it
29:35very well as a group
29:38the 0-2
29:41line drive
29:42and that should be
29:44extra bases
29:49and he'll pull into second
29:51safely
29:52back against the wall
29:54with two strikes
29:55but found a way
29:56nice line drive
29:57to the pole side
29:57right there
29:58he didn't spin off
29:59of it
30:00that's the key
30:00you still have to extend
30:02through the baseball
30:02in order to hit a line drive
30:04like that
30:04runner in scoring position
30:06no outs
30:07Carson Williams
30:09the next to hit
30:11bunks it in the air
30:14Garcia snags it on the run
30:16one pitch and one out
30:19up next
30:20for the Rays
30:21third baseman
30:23Yandy Diaz
30:24so the Rays batting order
30:26turns over
30:27here's the third
30:32baseman
30:33Yandy Diaz
30:40and that's him
30:41for a strike
30:42going along
30:43well we call that
30:44key holy
30:45even though it's right there
30:46and looks pretty good
30:47if he doesn't love it
30:49he's not going to swing
30:50that early in the count
30:52man it's second
30:55hard ground ball
30:56for a base stop
30:57runner around third
30:59the throw home
31:01safe at the plate
31:02and the run scores
31:03all the way from
31:04second
31:05and now they trail
31:06by one
31:07that makes it a 15
31:09game hitting streak
31:10and there's some buzz
31:11about it now singing
31:12it's nothing crazy
31:14but it does say a lot
31:15about how well
31:16he's seeing pitches
31:17and really making
31:18solid contact
31:19barreling up the baseball
31:21at times
31:21and everything
31:22it seems
31:23he's hitting hard
31:24as hot as he is
31:25I could see this streak
31:26going for a little while
31:27longer
31:27Aranda
31:28in the box again
31:29takes a strike
31:38for a layoff
31:39that pitch down
31:49that's towards center

32:14tying run
32:15is at first
32:16last half
32:17of inning
32:18number five
32:21now this is a rocket
32:23to left
32:24brings it in
32:25and that
32:26is the inning
32:28but the RBI
32:29single pushes
32:30across a run
32:31five innings complete

32:42to look at a few
32:43highlights from this one

32:47every chance I get
32:48to be honest
32:48wavy hair

32:57soloist
32:58vocalist
32:58maestro
32:59this fish grease
33:03Joe Boyle
33:04gets handed the rock
33:05out of the pen
33:05pretty tight game
33:06so they're looking
33:07for quality pitches
33:08out of him right here
33:09gotta do his best
33:10to keep the score
33:11right where it is
33:12and now the first baseman
33:14Benny Pasquantino
33:15he went deep back
33:16into fourth
33:17a pretty important
33:18swing of the bat
33:19in this ball game
33:19yeah bro
33:20he didn't waste any time
33:21he jumped all over
33:22that pitch
33:23and saw it the entire way
33:24you talk about
33:25squaring it up
33:26he didn't miss a stitch
33:27on the baseball
33:31well these Royals
33:33putting together
33:34some really good
33:34at bats in this game
33:35there's been a lot
33:36to like with how
33:37they're approaching
33:38their chances at the play
33:39they really made
33:40that opposing starter
33:40work in this one
33:41ran his pitch count up
33:43and now they've got
33:44an opportunity
33:44to continue making
33:45things difficult
33:46on the bullpen
33:50the one-two
33:52he goes down
33:53looking
33:54frustrating
33:54end to the at bat
33:56for the hitter
33:56and I'm sure
33:57that's gonna sit on
33:58him for a little while
33:59you wanna be ready
34:00to hit the fastball
34:01sometimes you can
34:02overthink things
34:03and I think that was
34:03the case right there
34:04Ryan O'Hearn
34:05comes up to him
34:06his righty lefty
34:07splits there
34:13Boyle
34:1326 years old
34:15and he was a
34:16fifth round pick
34:17in 2020
34:19that one in the dirt
34:20ball one
34:26gets a piece there
34:27we'll do it again
34:32one and two now
34:42strike three
34:43and that's two
34:43in a row
34:44tunneled that pitch
34:45thought it was gonna
34:46be a slider breaking
34:47in off the plate
34:48but it hugged the
34:50corner
34:50and at that point
34:51when he recognized it
34:52it was just too late
34:54two outs
34:55space is empty
34:56now the third
34:57baseman
34:58Mikel Garcia
34:59ball one
35:14in the air
35:15right field
35:16and that
35:17is that
35:19KC down
35:20in order
35:21they lead it
35:212-1
35:27back here
35:28in Tampa Bay
35:29and stepping in
35:30for the Rays
35:31Jake Fraley
35:41that's in there
35:42tonight his slider
35:43has been really
35:44impressive
35:44I mean
35:45tight spin
35:46seems like the hitters
35:47aren't picking it up
35:48out of the hand
35:53and that one
35:54ripped to left
35:55one up
35:57one down
35:58up next
36:00for the Rays
36:01center fielder
36:02Johnny DeLuca
36:04so next to the plate
36:05for Tampa Bay
36:06Johnny DeLuca
36:13right through there
36:14for a strike
36:25swing and a miss
36:26nice changeup
36:27Benny really sells
36:28the changeup
36:29with that arm action
36:36line drive
36:38makes a nice grab
36:39at a full sprint
36:41and there's two down
36:42wow
36:43he looked like
36:43he was running
36:44before the ball
36:45was hit
36:46didn't have much time
36:47as that was
36:48a hard hit liner
36:49but a nice job
36:50of covering a lot
36:51of ground
36:51in a short amount
36:52of time
36:57Palacios
36:58in the box
36:58with two gone
36:59and takes a look
37:00at a called strike
37:01activity in the bullpen
37:03for the Royals
37:04Carlos Estevez
37:05the veteran right hander
37:07appears to be loosening up
37:08Urcic
37:08getting cranked up
37:09as well
37:12line drive
37:13base hit
37:16and the tying run
37:17is on base
37:20another multi-hit game
37:22for him
37:22he's been really hot
37:23lately
37:24that pretty much
37:24split the zone
37:25down the middle
37:26and those are the ones
37:27where you've got to make them pay
37:29Hunter Produccio
37:30next to hit for the raise
37:31and remember
37:33he was absolutely
37:34robbed of a base hit
37:35last time up
37:37in this situation
37:38the hitter knows
37:39that he's got to find
37:40a pitch that he can drive
37:41in order to drive
37:42in that tying run
37:43all the way
37:44from first base
37:44so
37:45if he can't do that
37:47keep the line moving
37:48for a walk
37:48or just a base hit
37:50but you've got to stay
37:51within yourself
37:51in for a strike
37:53and it's 0-2
37:54Fiduccio
37:55wants to challenge this
37:56thought it was a ball
37:57and the strike
37:59is overturned
38:00after review
38:00still two challenges
38:02left for them
38:03the raise
38:04with the go-ahead run
38:06at the plate
38:06here in the bottom
38:07of the sixth
38:11so now
38:12one and two
38:13just an outstanding job
38:15of spinning the baseball
38:16moving it around
38:18doing what he does
38:23ground ball
38:24right side
38:24it squirts through
38:27throw in
38:28hopes the lead
38:29runner at second
38:30two on
38:31now
38:31with Jewell
38:32he kind of rolled over
38:33on this pitch a little bit
38:35but he got enough
38:36behind it
38:36to shoot it through
38:37for a knock
38:38and you'll take that
38:39anytime you can get him
38:40to find a hole
38:40now a pretty big at bat
38:42coming up
38:42with a chance to even
38:43this ball game up
38:46here's Gavin Lux
38:47to hit
38:49and that's a base hit
38:51here comes the runner
38:55cut off
38:55throw to third
38:56and he's in there
38:58as a run scores
38:59on the play
39:00and that ties the game
39:01well we're starting
39:02over again
39:03all tied up
39:04first pitch fastball
39:05a great spot
39:06to do some damage
39:07and he squared it up
39:08nicely
39:10manager out of the
39:11dugout now
39:12and it looks like
39:13we'll see a change
39:14on the mound
39:14Cole Reagans
39:16won't go any further
39:17and a pretty decent
39:18effort out of him
39:19tie ball game
39:20new arm out of the pen
39:22when we get back
39:26new pitcher in the game
39:27for the Royals
39:28Nick Mears
39:29well he's been hit
39:30pretty hard at times
39:31this season
39:32as you see
39:32with the big ERA
39:33so this is an important

42:05it's now 5-2
42:12welcome back
42:12as we take a look
42:14at their upcoming schedule
42:25this is a very important inning here
42:27after scoring all those runs
42:29you want your pitcher
42:30to come out
42:30and just mow them down
42:31the offense has worked hard
42:33it's shut down
42:33any time
42:35hard on the ground
42:36to first
42:38Arunda
42:38takes it himself
42:39and they get the leadoff hitter
42:41in the seventh
42:41that's a huge defensive play
42:43in the late stages
42:44of the game
42:45it might not be
42:46the most challenging
42:47we've seen today
42:48but it needed to be made
42:50that's helping your team
42:51Isbell
42:52now at the plate
42:53as he swings through
42:54strike one
42:55boom
42:55that's Cheddar baby
42:57the Rays
42:58leading by three
43:00here at the top half
43:01of inning number seven
43:02man
43:0391
43:03on the slider
43:04right there
43:05that's a hard one
43:06that's a low end fastball
43:07for some pitchers
43:08this one in the air
43:10center field
43:11DeLuca
43:12under this one
43:13and a couple of quick outs
43:17up next
43:18for the Royals
43:19the designated hitter
43:20Starling
43:21Starling
43:22Marte
43:22up to him
43:23he's been a great
43:24free agent shot
43:34right through there
43:35for a strike
43:42yeah that's fouled off
43:52got him swinging
43:56Royals go down
43:58one two three
43:58and the deficit
43:59remains
44:00five two
44:08we're back in a new
44:09pitcher here
44:09to start the bottom
44:10of the seventh
44:11Lucas Ersig
44:12just trying to keep
44:13this one close here
44:14and this is where a bullpen
44:15can give their players
44:16a chance to fight
44:17back into the game
44:19now it's the
44:20D.H.
44:21Junior Caminero
44:30that one finds the zone
44:320-1
44:32he's a bullpen arm
44:34that keeps the ball
44:35in the ballpark
44:36but obviously
44:37out of the bullpen
44:38you're looking to limit
44:39home runs
44:39yeah and that's why
44:41he's such a high leverage
44:42arm
44:42just doesn't matter
44:43for him
44:44he looks at attacking
44:45the zone and attacking
44:46hitters regardless
44:47of the situation
44:56ball
45:07here's a one two
45:10swing and a miss
45:11and he struck him out
45:13and now one away
45:14that slider was way
45:15out of the zone
45:16and for me
45:17it just comes down
45:18to not seeing
45:19the pitch out of the hand
45:20not tracking it
45:21into the zone
45:21and then also
45:22being a little bit anxious
45:23not confident
45:24in your two strike approach
45:26and so when a guy's
45:27in that position
45:27you get him to commit early
45:29and a lot of times
45:30you get the swing and miss
45:31as you did right there
45:31Fraley
45:32batting with one down
45:33takes a strike
45:42that's the third
45:45throws the first
45:46first in time
45:49up next
45:50for the race
45:51center fielder
45:52two down bases
45:54empty
45:54and now
45:55it's going to be
45:56Johnny DeLuca
46:17fly ball down the line
46:20and that's a foul ball
46:32two down
46:34nobody on
46:35down to short
46:38with over to first
46:40inning over
46:41nothing doing for Tampa
46:42and it remains 5-2
46:48ready to begin
47:01Ian Seymour
47:02taking over
47:03on the mound
47:03he last pitched
47:05two days ago
47:05number 61
47:08Ian Seymour
47:13yeah that's really
47:14the money spot
47:15down and away
47:16if you can locate
47:17that consistently
47:18it's going to be
47:18real tall for hitters
47:19to square that off
47:20that's what you'd love
47:21to see relievers do
47:22coming out of that
47:22bullpen
47:22grounds one to short
47:25on the first
47:27first out in the top
47:28of the eighth
47:29that play won't be
47:30trending on social media
47:31later on
47:32but it's still important
47:33to execute it to perfection
47:34this game is a lot harder
47:36than it looks partner
47:37here's Bobby Witt Jr
47:39this guy is one of the best
47:40athletes in the sport
47:42and that misses
47:44and that's ball one
47:45well it's critical right here
47:47that they bear down
47:48and turn in some quality
47:49at bats
47:49try to chip away
47:50at that lead
47:50because if it gets
47:51to the ninth
47:52that closer's coming in
48:01base hit center field
48:03and that's a one out
48:04single
48:11and now it's
48:13Brandon Lau
48:13one for three
48:16nope that's down
48:27swing and a drive
48:28deep right field
48:29that one carrying
48:34and caught on the warning track
48:40up next for the Royals
48:42first baseman
48:43Vinny Pasquintino
48:46Vinny Pasquintino

48:48he's already homered
48:50in this game
48:56in the air
48:56left field
48:57down the line
48:58and that drops foul
49:00if he's going to steal second
49:01you want him to go early
49:03in the count
49:03that way he's not a distraction
49:04to the hitter at the plate
49:06go ahead and get it
49:07out of the way
49:07so the hitter can focus
49:09on the pitch
49:11Witt leads off first
49:12with two down to the inning
49:16off the plate ball
49:17here's a run scoring
49:18opportunity
49:19you definitely got to
49:19push something across
49:20because it's not going to
49:21get any easier
49:22you get to the ninth
49:22get a lockdown closer
49:24ready to come in
49:27ground ball
49:28in the middle

49:38next up for the Royals
49:39Ryan O'Hearn
49:410 for 3
49:42in this one
49:51well this is a critical spot
49:53for both the pitcher
49:53and the hitter
49:54you can learn a lot
49:55about a guy
49:56by how he handles
49:57these pressure situations
50:04the Royals
50:05with the tying run
50:06at the plate
50:07and we're at the top
50:08of the eighth
50:18that pitch just misses the
50:20inside corner
50:21ball two
50:28fights it off
50:29you'll see another
50:34the tying run
50:35at the plate
50:36ah ground ball
50:38and that's through
50:39the infield
50:39here comes Witt
50:41around third
50:41he'll score easily
50:435-3 now
50:45a perfect example
50:46right there
50:47that plate discipline
50:48it pays off
50:49the deeper he gets
50:51into a count
50:51the more comfortable
50:53he becomes
50:54and he usually wins
50:55the battle
50:55so a change being made
50:57out at second
50:57on the run
50:58for the Royals
50:59Lane Thomas
51:00getting some more speed
51:01on the bases

51:16pitch kicks away
51:18throw into third

51:23but they pick up
51:24one run
51:25on the RBI single
51:26it's now a 5-3
51:28ball game

51:35on defense
51:36Abraham Toro
51:37he takes over
51:38as the new first baseman
51:39Abraham Toro
51:41and stepping in
51:42for the Rays
51:42Richie Palacios
51:44second baseman
51:45Richie Palacios
52:06left field
52:10brings it in
52:12brings it in
52:12with a nice
52:12running grab
52:13and there's one away
52:18so up next
52:20Hunter Fiduccia
52:41and one pushed foul
52:58ground ball up the middle whips it to first on the run and very nicely done for the out
53:05that's what a good sinker is designed to do get a guy to roll over a little bit hit the
53:09ball on
53:09the ground kill some worms while you're at it manager out of the dugout and he's gonna make
53:13a change Lucas ursic is done to run ball game as he heads for the dugout and we'll be back
53:19with a
53:19new picture now pitching for Seth Lugo will take over here always have trouble at times keeping
53:34the ball in the park this season something to keep in mind here
53:42two outs base is empty Gavin luck
53:52next to hit for the Rays good swing out of him last time ripped a liner in the center
54:01and that one upstairs ball one
54:12foul ball
54:17two down nobody on here the bottom half of the eighth inning
54:37up the middle and that one finds its way through so he gets on base and keeps it going
54:50here's the shortstop at the play Carson Williams he's been a difference maker in this one with
54:56what he did back in the sixth no doubt Boog a huge three-run homer and it's one of the
55:00key moments in
55:12this game activity in the Kansas City bullpen Carlos Estevez getting loose out there
55:21Lux off the first with two away
55:39and a breaking ball drops in for a strike
55:52cracks his bat and pops him off and that is the third out of the inning
56:05one left for Tampa and it remains 5-3
56:16now pitching for the we're back it's the top of the night and there's a new pitcher on the mound
56:20Edwin Oceda coming on for the save here and something he couldn't get done in his last appearance
56:26so let's see if he can bounce back and lock this thing up
56:35pitch in the dirt ball one
56:43pitch in the dirt ball two Seda a righty that throws with power 28 years old and he was born
56:49in the Dominican Republic
56:53outside ball three
57:01and there's the automatic
57:09next offering is fouled back
57:11next offering is fouled back
57:15payoff pitch
57:19oh look at the stop
57:20fires to first
57:22it's there and that's a great play
57:25up next for the Royals
57:27catcher
57:27Salvador Perez
57:31Salvador Perez
57:32steps in for the Royals
57:41it's so important to get ahead of these hitters
57:43you don't want to issue a free pass and allow that tying run to come to the plate
57:47always want to keep that other team in a position where if they're going to beat you
57:50they're going to have to do it with multiple hits
57:57keeps the effect going with a foul ball
58:09chop back up the middle
58:13tosses to first and that is out number two
58:17up next for the Royals center fielder Kyle Isbell
58:22so it's their last chance in this one
58:24here's the center fielder Kyle Isbell
58:30and first offering is fouled off
58:37the Rays
58:38trying to close out a two run lead
58:40here at the top of the ninth
58:43this one in the air center field
58:45DeLuca should have this one
58:47and he'll make the catch
58:48ball game
58:49and the Rays
58:50make it six straight victories
58:54but with the sixth win in a row
58:56all of a sudden
58:57you start to look around
58:58up and down the lineup
58:59to your left
59:00to your right as a player
59:01and you say
59:01you know what we're good
59:02we may have had some tough times earlier on
59:05but this is a good team
59:06and you start to expect
59:07this kind of play out of yourselves
59:09we'll see if this translates into
59:10a longer winning streak than it is right now
59:12like you know what we're good for today
59:21and you know what we have in the air
59:38the machine that's how our function could be start this production with me we come all time
59:42with a band music composed with a jam l-o-v-e love and that's where
