00:23from inside Tropicana Field here in Tampa Bay,
00:27Interleague Baseball on MLB The Show.
00:30It's the Arizona Diamondbacks taking on the Tampa Bay Rays.
00:36All right, we'll be back to get this one started after this.
00:43Starting on the mound in this one, Griffin Jacks.
00:47How about a report on him, Chris?
00:49This guy's pitched in several different roles.
00:51He started, he's done long relief.
00:53It'll be interesting today to see how they use him.
00:55I think you have to go hitter to hitter, inning to inning.
00:58And if he's having success, you let him go as long as he possibly can.
01:02Okay, all set to go.
01:04Peraldo Perdomo stands in now for the Diamondbacks.
01:17There's a swing and a drive.
01:19That's got a chance.
01:22And it's off the wall.
01:24Into second safely.
01:26It's a leadoff double to start the game.
01:28Everything came together for him.
01:30Absolutely blasted that one into the gap,
01:33but just didn't have quite enough to clear the wall out there.
01:36Maybe a little more elevation under it and it carries over,
01:39but that's a swing you'll be happy with every time.
01:42Just a slow ground ball this time.
01:44Over to Diaz.
01:46One pitch and one out.
01:51Time to take a look at the Diamondbacks lineup.
01:55Big challenge for them today as they take on a pitcher
01:57who brings electric stuff and really racks up the strikeouts.
02:01Yeah, it's crucial to make good contact against a pitcher like this.
02:05You might not get many pitches to hit,
02:07and it might be the first pitch,
02:08so you've got to be prepared from the start.
02:11Early, consistent contact is going to improve their chances.
02:15One away with a runner at third.
02:16Here in the second game of the series.
02:19In the dirt, kicks away from the catcher.
02:22And the runner holds.
02:29In the dirt, runner stays put at third.
02:38Right side, hard hit.
02:40He takes it on his own, and he's out.
02:46Batting fourth, first baseman, Pavin Smith.
02:50Here's the cleanup hitter for the Diamondbacks, Pavin Smith.
02:57And he drops in for a strike.
02:59If he doesn't get a knock right here,
03:01that pitch he just took is going to eat at him for a while.
03:04You might not see another pitch like that from a top-level guy like this.
03:11No score yet, but a runner at third with two away.
03:16Smoked on the ground a second.
03:18Throws to first, and that will end the inning.
03:22Now it's the Rays' turn.
03:23No score.
03:24This is Rays' baseball on the show, Florida.
03:30We go to the bottom of the first,
03:32and getting the start for Arizona, Corbin Burns.
03:36How about a scouting report on him?
03:38Well, he got into the eighth inning his last time out,
03:40really pitching deep in the games as of late.
03:42We'll see today how many innings he's got in him.
03:45Stepping in, Chandler Simpson.
03:54Ball one low.
04:06D-Ride.
04:07D-Ride.
04:08D-Ride.
04:10D-Ride.
04:30this one in the air center field Thomas on his way over one up one down all right
04:39let's take a look at the race lineup one guy swinging a hot bat recently Jake Fraley and
04:45Boog he's a fun at bat to watch I mean definitely a threat whenever he's got that bat in his
04:50hands
04:50but for me it's it's all about the mechanics they're so sound and when he gets his foot down
04:55on time and starts his swing so much consistency that bat stays in the zone for a long time and
05:00he
05:00squares up the baseball a lot Junior Caminero batting with one down takes a strike
05:12he swings and fouls one off
05:25the 0-2 go upstairs a little bit make sure you miss up and out of the zone since you're
05:32heading to
05:32count one two don't miss in the zone because that's where you get hurt fights it off you'll see
05:48another the one to keep see it back going with a foul ball
06:01the one to cut on and miss struck him out and there's two down that's that classic wipeout slider
06:08below the zone right there just nasty looks like a fastball thigh high that you got to protect the
06:14zone and then it's just that late break that fools you and kind of makes you look silly now it's
06:19gonna
06:19be Jonathan Aranda
06:31in the air left field
06:36Gurriel flashes the leather on the running catch scoreless after one
06:46back here at Tropicana field second innings set to go Lourdes Gurriel jr stands in now for the diamondbacks
06:54tap foul to play
07:01off the bar there and that is ball one Woody Keller making the calls behind home for us today and
07:08Boogs
07:08something to keep an eye on is how pitchers utilize the top part of the strike zone we see a
07:13lot more of
07:13that in today's game with pitchers going up there with hard stuff Keller definitely an umpire that isn't afraid to
07:19call
07:19strikes up in that part of the strike zone
07:22swings through that one it's a strikeout well I'm not sure what he was waiting on right there you got
07:27the change up and still late on it you rarely see that it almost makes you think that he was
07:33trying to set the pitcher up I mean if you can't catch up to the off speed stuff there's no
07:37way you're gonna touch a fastball
07:42the 0-1
07:44this one popped up foul ground first base side
07:49fiducia takes it in for the out and there are two down seven the designated hitter adrian del castillo
07:57two outs space is empty now it's the dh adrian del castillo
08:06ball
08:11second inning here no score
08:14oh
08:22ground ball to the middle that's a base hit
08:26and that extends the inning
08:31batting eight third baseman
08:33here's nolan arenado
08:35he's been doing a good job knocking in his teammates over the last ten games
08:39he's knocked in ten runs
08:51dives and he can't hang on
08:54puts the tag on him and that's the inning
08:57we'll go to the bottom of the second no score
09:05bottom half of the inning number two and stepping in for the raise yandy diaz
09:12burns like a lot of guys in the majors played several sports growing up he was a really good football
09:18player in high school actually which makes sense when you look at his bill but ultimately chose to pursue a
09:23career in baseball
09:32this one in the air right field
09:34and it's a foul
09:36and it's a foul ball
10:06and it's a foul ball
10:06and it's a foul ball
10:06and it's a foul ball
10:11and it's a foul ball
10:23and that is out of play
10:39Fastball almost got him there.
10:54Straighten him up a little bit.
11:042-2 now.
11:07To the right side, Smith takes it himself, already two out here in the home half of inning number
11:14two.
11:16Now it's the right fielder, Jake Fraley, and a foul ball.
11:53Two down, nobody on.
11:55That one pushed foul out of play off to the left.
12:05One and two here.
12:07Ball two.
12:19This one chopped to first, but it kicks foul.
12:29The 2-2 gets a piece and stays alive.
12:45That one to first, Smith.
12:47He takes it himself to the bag and that'll do it.
12:50We'll move to the third with no score.
12:57Leading off for the Diamondbacks, center fielder Alex Thomas.
13:10This one ripped, but foul to the right.
13:17You'll want left field and he can't quite get there.
13:25It's a foul ball.
13:33That one back up the middle and it gets through.
13:37So now back to the top of the order.
13:39I'd say a mistake pitch in an 0-2 count.
13:42Too good of a pitch to hit right there.
13:44You have to expand the zone.
13:46Keep that leadoff man off first base.
13:52So back to the top of the Arizona lineup.
13:54Peraldo Perdomo, the next to hit.
13:58And a pop up right side, foul territory.
14:04One away.
14:07Phil, that was a pitch you've got to crush.
14:10Unbelievable that he missed it right there.
14:11I'm telling you, he is going to be frustrated with himself until his next at bat.
14:16One out man at first.
14:18Here's Cattell Marte.
14:19He's 0-1.
14:23Did he swing?
14:24Now it appealed to third.
14:25Yes, he did.
14:26That's a swing.
14:29And he'll one.
14:31Runner on the move.
14:32Pitch misses inside.
14:34Throw!
14:35See!
14:36You know what?
14:36I like the aggressiveness right there.
14:38It looks like it's going to be tough to score in this one.
14:41Really good pitching so far.
14:42So why not try to put some pressure on him and see if you can steal the bag?
14:45Get in the scoring position.
14:53That one to first.
14:54Ripped.
14:55And he can't glove it.
14:56It's by him.
14:57Thomas.
14:58Around third.
14:59He will score and they take the lead.
15:01And he'll reach second with one away.
15:03Well, that was a great job of letting that runner steal second base.
15:06Get in the scoring position.
15:07Come through with the base knock.
15:09You add a run.
15:14One out.
15:15Runner at second.
15:16This is Corbin Carroll.
15:18That's a ball.
15:19Went with the sweeper.
15:24One out.
15:25The runner at second.
15:26We're here in the top half of inning number three.
15:28Ball.
15:38That close the corner.
15:40In today's game, not that many fastball counts, but hitter still in the back of their minds.
15:45They're looking for one.
15:462-0 changeup call right there.
15:48Excellent pitch selection to go with.
15:59Six in.
16:00Down on strikes.
16:01He's got to be frustrated with that call.
16:04And here's a challenge.
16:06That looked like it missed to me.
16:07Good eye at the plate.
16:09They'll overturn the call.
16:10So they've still got both their challenges.
16:16That one lifted to left.
16:19And it's 2-0.
16:24Up next for the Diamondbacks, first baseman, Pavin Smith.
16:29Now up next for Arizona, Pavin Smith.
16:32Ball for one.
16:33He grounded out in his first sit back.
16:35Ball in the dirt and it gets away.
16:40No advance though.
16:45Two outs.
16:46And one in scoring position.
16:50Check swing.
16:51Did he go?
16:51Yes, he did.
16:52That strike one.
17:01Hard grounder into the outfield for a knock.
17:03Here comes Marte around third.
17:07He'll score easily.
17:08It's 2-0.
17:09Well done.
17:10Drives in the run.
17:12Once you get the ball by the pitcher, there's a lot of base hits up the middle, even on ground
17:16balls.
17:16So a nice job to use that big hole and get himself a hit.
17:20Here's Gurriel.
17:24Swings and misses.
17:25Went with the sweeper.
17:29Smith leads off first with two down to the inning.
17:32Swing and a ground ball.
17:34Walls.
17:35On to first.
17:36And that ends the inning.
17:38But two runs form and they jump ahead.
17:40We head down to the home half of inning number three.
17:44It's the Diamondbacks to the Rays.
17:47Back here at the ballpark.
17:48Let's check out the latest news from around the league.
17:51Dinner fielder.
17:52Johnny DeLuca.
17:54We all just need a minute.
17:55The party been started.
17:56We all just need a finish.
17:58If I buy a chain, I'm doing it by myself.
18:02Well, we call that key holey.
18:05Even though it's right there and looks pretty good.
18:07If he doesn't love it, he's not going to swing that early in the count.
18:13Out towards right center field.
18:15Carroll on the move to the alley.
18:17And there's one away.
18:20Batting eight.
18:22Catcher Hunter Faduccia.
18:25Now the catcher up to hit.
18:27Hunter Faduccia.
18:38And immediately pumps in a strike to the left handed hitter.
18:41Now this guy is just filling up the strike zone right now.
18:44Don't want to get yourself in an 0-2 hole.
18:46You better be ready to pull the trigger on the first pitch.
18:51Ripped to first.
18:52Caught.
18:53It's never fun going back to the dugout after hitting the line drive that finds a glove.
18:57But you will get some high fives.
18:58You know, when you make great contact, you feel like you've done everything right.
19:02But in this game of baseball, not everything is in your control.
19:09Taylor rolls.
19:11In the box with two gone.
19:12And takes a look at a called strike.
19:22Two down.
19:23Nobody on.
19:24In the air.
19:25Out towards right center.
19:27Thomas in position.
19:29And that is that.
19:33Nine straight retired here to start the game.
19:37Welcome back as we take a peek at the starting pitching so far this year.
19:42On the way up in the night.
19:44I'm gonna drive.
19:45I'm gonna drive.
19:46I'm gonna run away.
19:47Tonight.
19:49On the highway in the sky.
19:51Pass it.
19:52Ball.
19:53Pitch misses there.
19:54And that's ball one.
20:02That's a strike.
20:03They doubled up on the off speed there.
20:05We talk about the power fastball, but he's working a little differently here.
20:10And that one is in the dirt.
20:12And it's two and one.
20:18Next offering is foul back.
20:27And a foul ball.
20:28He stays alive.
20:34Up the middle.
20:36And it finds its way through for a hit.
20:39And a man aboard.
20:44Up next.
20:45Next up for the Diamondbacks.
20:47Adrian Del Castillo.
20:48Adrian Del Castillo.
20:50Ball.
20:51In the dirt.
20:52Blocked.
21:00Runner on the goal.
21:02Swing and a miss.
21:05Throws.
21:06Saved.
21:06That's a stolen base.
21:14Man, it's second.
21:16Well, these Diamondbacks showing great discipline at the plate.
21:19And patience definitely seems to be the name of their game in this one.
21:23They're doing a good job of working the pitch count.
21:25And they've been able to push a couple of runs across to score as well.
21:35Right through there for a strike.
21:37Still relatively early, but with a pair of runs already on the board, the ripple effect of that high pitch
21:42count might set them up to do more damage later in this game.
21:45Swing and a miss.
21:47Struck him out.
21:48And now one away.
21:49Nolan Arenado.
21:57So now with one away and a man at second.
22:00Here's Nolan Arenado.
22:02Turned on, but that's foul down the third baseline.
22:10You'll one.
22:12Inside.
22:21This one in the air center field.
22:24DeLuca has a beat on it.
22:26He's got it.
22:27Two away.
22:32Up next for the Diamondbacks, center fielder, Alec Thomas.
22:36Alec Thomas now.
22:37One for one with a single and a run scored so far.
22:43Right through there for a strike.
22:45Though I know they've gotten out to an early lead, but you don't want to take these opportunities for granted.
22:49With two outs, still lock in with a quality at bat, drive in that run.
22:53You may not have another runner in scoring position the rest of this ballgame.
22:56Man on second.
22:58Two down.
22:59On the ground right side.
23:02That's the third out.
23:03Inning over.
23:05One left for the Diamondbacks.
23:07As they're unable to add to their 2-0 lead.
23:13Back here in Tampa Bay.
23:15Chandler Simpson.
23:17Top five at batting average.
23:19It has been a nightmare for pitchers this season, Singy.
23:22Yeah, the swing is simple, Boog.
23:23Repeatable and deadly.
23:25Remarkable consistency.
23:28Every at bat looks competitive, Singy.
23:31Yeah, and he's done an excellent job taking advantage of mistake pitches too.
23:35Produces game after game no matter who's on the mound.
23:42Liner caught at second.
23:47And here's a look at how he's using his pitches in this one.
23:51No surprise to see him pumping in plenty of cutters, Boo.
23:54That's his best pitch.
23:56Throwing it a lot in this game.
23:58And right now he's shutting this lineup out.
24:01So we might stick with it.
24:06Caminero batting with one down.
24:09Takes a strike.
24:10Boog over 80% of his first pitches are strikes.
24:12You're doing that.
24:13You could have a really good day out there on the mound.
24:19Deal one.
24:22Swing and a high fly ball.
24:23Hit the air left center field.
24:25This one's got a chance.
24:27Just missed it.
24:33Jonathan Aranda digs in now.
24:36Fly to left his first time.
24:45That runs in there.
24:47That's strike one.
24:48The Rays hit list so far in the game.
24:56This one popped up.
24:58Foul ground.
24:59First base side.
25:02And that's the inning.
25:08So 12 up, 12 down to begin the ball game.
25:12This is Rays baseball on the show, Florida.
25:18Back now in Tampa Bay.
25:20Ready now for the fifth inning.
25:21Geraldo Perdomo stands in now for the Diamondbacks.
25:25You know, these D-backs.
25:27Doing a good job of simply getting the bat on the ball in this game.
25:31And the numbers back that up.
25:32The numbers tell us they're averaging more than a hit every inning.
25:35And they've only struck out twice.
25:37So they keep finding ways to put their bat on the ball.
25:40Hard ground ball based off.
25:44So a runner aboard to start the inning.
25:47I'm sure he feels really good about that one.
25:49I know that was a ground ball, but it was absolutely hammered.
25:57The infield, that's not one you're excited to get in front of if you're an infielder.
26:01You know they used to say, charge him.
26:03Crazy.
26:04Marte at the plate now.
26:06That's ball one.
26:19Next offering in there for a strike.
26:21And it's one and two.
26:22Marte wants to challenge this.
26:25Thought it was a ball.
26:27Barely a hair out of the zone, but it was a ball.
26:30Still two challenges left for them.
26:36Grounder might be two.
26:37Lux for one.
26:39To Diaz.
26:40That's two.
26:41Oh man, what a smooth double play.
26:43That was a thing of beauty from start to finish.
26:51And now the right fielder, Corbin Carroll.
27:02Two down, nobody on.
27:04That one finds the zone.
27:06No balls, two strikes.
27:10Swings and misses.
27:12And K is his third of the game.
27:15Diamondbacks down quickly, but they hold the two nothing lead.
27:21We head to the bottom of the fifth and stepping in.
27:28The Rays, Yandy Diaz.
27:32Yandy Diaz.
27:35Yandy Diaz.
27:36Well, these Rays, they're not going to be happy with the at-bats they've been having so far.
27:41We're in the back half of the game and they're still searching for a base runner.
27:44He's been great out there on the mound, no doubt.
27:46But it's also been a disappointing performance at the plate to this point.
27:50That's a base hit.
27:52Man aboard on the leadoff single.
28:00Well, as hot hitting continues, he's been getting great results lately.
28:04Showed a willingness to drive that pitch the opposite way.
28:07Didn't get jumpy, didn't try to pull the ball, he let it get deep.
28:10Took the barrel right to it and then extended through the swing for the line drive base hit.
28:15And now it's Gavin Lux.
28:17That one finds the zone.
28:19Strike one.
28:28In the air left field.
28:30And a base hit.
28:33Throw back in quickly.
28:35First and second now with nobody out.
28:39Now just a nice job coming through in a pretty high leverage spot right there.
28:44That's a ball that a lot of times you'll see the shortstop or left fielder be able to get to
28:48if it hangs up in the air long enough.
28:50But right there, it just died and found a way to drop in on the green stuff but base hit.
28:55Now here is Jake Fraley.
28:58And a bunt towards third.
28:59On to first.
29:01And that is a big first out.
29:08So up next, Johnny DeLuca.
29:10Golden opportunity right here.
29:19He's got a base open, so the pressure to come in and really attack this hitter, not as great as
29:24it would be if the bags were sacked.
29:28That smash towards center.
29:30That smash towards center.
29:32Brings it in.
29:33Both runners tagging from second and third.
29:36In to score from third.
29:38And now they trail by one.
29:40That wasn't your standard sack fly.
29:42He barreled that baseball.
29:44Just couldn't get it to drop in.
29:46Hunter for Duccia.
29:47Hunter for Duccia.
29:47Next to him for the raise.
29:49Over on so far.
29:58Gets the slider in there for a strike.
30:00Well, he had a pretty good look at that pitch and not sure exactly what tied him up there.
30:05Couldn't pull the trigger.
30:06And perhaps the best pitch you'll see in this at bat to hit.
30:10Sliced hard, but fouled down the left side.
30:13So now it's all about protect mode.
30:15Try to shorten up.
30:16Try to track the ball.
30:18Block it if you have to as far as just a late swing that maybe you're not sure about.
30:22But got him swinging.
30:23It's a strikeout.
30:25And that'll keep more runs from coming in.
30:27Inning over.
30:28They get a run on two hits.
30:30No errors.
30:31And a man left.
30:32Five innings.
30:34Back here in a close one.
30:36And a look now at some of the biggest plays from the game.
31:06Now pitching for the raise.
31:08Tony Hopkins will take over here.
31:11Pretty tight game.
31:11So they're looking for quality pitches out of them right here.
31:15Got to do his best to keep the score right where it is.
31:21Smith leading things off and takes a strike.
31:29Hopkins in his rookie season.
31:3224 years old.
31:33And he was a sixth round draft pick in 2023.
31:37Comes up empty.
31:39That's strike two.
31:40That's a real nice cutter right there.
31:41I mean this guy can struggle with the inside pitch at times.
31:45So I'd say that's pretty effective if you can continue to command it on that side of the plate.
31:55And that skips in the dirt.
32:03Hit on the ground up the middle.
32:05That's a base hit.
32:07So a man on base to start the inning.
32:13Wasn't able to elevate that one but he sure hit it hard enough to get through the infield.
32:17There's not a whole lot of time for the defenders to react and try to make a play when it's
32:21ripped like that.
32:22Gurriel stands in here takes ball one low.
32:27That one ripped and that's got extra bases written all over it.
32:33Headed for the plate.
32:37And they lead by two.
32:40Picks himself up at RBI.
32:42Nice line drive to the post side right there.
32:44But he didn't spin off of it.
32:46That's the key.
32:46You still have to extend through the baseball in order to hit a line drive like that.
32:51Runner in scoring position.
32:53No outs.
32:54Gabriel Moreno stands in now for the Diamondbacks.
32:59In the zone for a strike.
33:01That was the sweeper.
33:03Well you can't expect to get a great pitch to hit with an open base and a runner off.
33:07Oh now this ball gets down.
33:09Stop sign goes up at third.
33:12Runners at the corners.
33:13Nobody out.
33:17Adrian Del Castillo stands in now for the Diamondbacks.
33:21Del Castillo having a lot more success on the road this season.
33:25Really good job in this spot to get ahead in the count.
33:28He's going to have to continue finish off this hitter.
33:31Just missed.
33:38And one and two.
33:39Great spot to be in right here for the pitcher.
33:41He can either strike this guy out or get a ground ball double play.
33:44Ball.
33:46The D-backs trying to break this one open.
33:50And we're in the top half of the sixth.
33:52Pulls it in.
33:53One away.
33:54Puts the tag on him and it's a double play.
34:00Up next, for the Diamondbacks, third baseman.
34:04Here's Nolan Arenado.
34:17This one in the dirt and well done to keep it close.
34:21You don't want to run yourself out of it any.
34:23So it's got to clearly get far enough away from the catcher.
34:26If you're the runner at third, think about scoring.
34:29Lux throws the first in time.
34:31And that is that.
34:33D-backs with a run scoring double.
34:35It's now a 3-1 ball game.
34:38This is Rays baseball on the show Florida.
34:43Well, we go bottom six and stepping in for the Rays.
34:53Taylor Walsh.
35:00Ball one.
35:22the one-one and that drops in for a strike
35:35got him leadoff man retired in the sixth
35:42so the Rays batting order turns over now the left fielder Chandler Simpson maybe expecting a
35:49bunt here third baseman playing in on the edge of the grass oh great stop to first nicely done for
35:56the out so next to the plate for Tampa Bay Junior Caminero and now it's a little bit low and
36:13it's
36:13want to know hey right
36:30chew down nobody on ball
36:42and a breaking ball drops in for a strike
36:53that one ripped right center field way back there that one hops against the fence
37:01and that'll bring the tying run to the plate seems like he got exactly what he was looking for right
37:08there pretty much a model swing on that one as he ripped it into the opposite field gap and I'm
37:12sure
37:13he's going to be watching that one back on video because that's the kind of swing you want to bottle
37:17so many positives that led to that knock so a runner at second two down Jonathan Arundel will hit next
37:25ball one
37:36swing and a ball lined out towards center that is the inning
37:41the Rays strand just the one and it remains a 3-1 ball game
37:50now pitching for the welcome back we're in the seventh we have a new pitcher on the mound
37:54Yo Andres Gomez this guy's a strike thrower he's done an excellent job of avoiding walks so far this season
38:01Alec Thomas getting ready to hit
38:08line drive base hit
38:12so now back to the top of the order
38:18solid swing from start to end all in time with everything really good balance nice extension and he met it
38:24out front for the line drive knock
38:27Perdomo avoids the first pitch for ball one

38:56the two two on the way out of line out towards center
39:02and there's one down

39:58on one side they beatbird
39:58on the ground a second over to Diaz that's the third out one left for Arizona but they still lead
40:05at 3-1
40:09Welcome back, taking a look at our game summer.
40:12For the Rays, first raceman, Yandy Diaz.
40:17It's been a long while, I got it all team, I'm looking great.
40:23So important to get ahead of these hitters.
40:25You don't want to issue a free pass and allow that tying run to come to the plate.
40:29I always want to keep that other team in a position where if they're going to beat you,
40:32they're going to have to do it with multiple hits.
40:35The 0-1.
40:38Out towards right center field, Carroll on his way in.
40:42Pulls it down and he makes the catch.
40:44One away, big time out leading off the home seven.
40:49Gavin Lux, next to hit for the Rays, one for two.
40:57And the first pitch misses for ball one.
41:00Challenge from behind the dish here.
41:04And that just scraped the zone.
41:07The ball is overturned.
41:09They'll keep both their challenges.
41:20Definitely a frustrating day for the offense, but when they look at it, this guy's had his best stuff.
41:26He's painting the corners, working on the edges and changing speeds.
41:30Just a difficult one.
41:31You tip your cap.
41:31On the ground, right side.
41:34Marte.
41:35And two away now.
41:37If you want to be a great defense, you have to deliver consistently.
41:40It doesn't matter how many highlight reel plays you make if you can't execute the small stuff, just like we
41:45saw.
41:51Fraley, up to hit for the third time as he lays off inside, ball one.
42:00To the right side.
42:02He takes it himself to the bag, and that'll do it.
42:06Rays held in check here.
42:08Score holds.
42:09It's 3-1.
42:12Back here at Tropicana Field, this offense has lifted them to a lead with plenty of hits so far in
42:18this one as we look at the spray chart.
42:20Yeah, when a team has this many knocks, a lot of the time it gets clustered to one side or
42:25another.
42:26Not today.
42:27They're hitting it all over the field.
42:29Smith.
42:30The leadoff batter as he looks at ball one.
42:35That one close.
42:36Rule the ball.
42:37Ball two.
42:42And the sweeper misses for a ball.
42:50Fastball for a strike.
42:59And that one fouled off.
43:10Ground ball off the middle.
43:11That's a base hit.
43:13And the leadoff man aboard.
43:20Here's Lourdes Gurriel, Jr.
43:25Gurriel gets a piece.
43:31Swing and a high fly ball.
43:32Well struck.
43:33Going back.
43:34Get there.
43:35This one lands foul.
43:39Here's the 0-2.
43:42Lifted in the air.
43:43Right field.
43:45And there's one down.
43:50Up next for the Diamondbacks.
43:53At the play.
43:54Gabrielle Moreno.
43:59Ripped on a line to center.
44:01DeLuca moving under it.
44:03Two way down.
44:09Up next for the Diamondbacks.
44:18Adrian Del Castillo.
44:23Chopped back up the middle.
44:26Waltz.
44:26To first.
44:27And he beats it.
44:28Everyone's safe.
44:29Nice job getting there.
44:30Good throw.
44:31But very difficult to get anybody.
44:34Oh, that one.
44:35As far as you had to go.
44:37And throw.
44:38You know.
44:39Yeah, no question.
44:40So now it's Dolan Aronado.
44:42Simpson.
44:43On the move to the gap.
44:45He's there.
44:45He's got it.
44:46And that'll do it.
44:48Diamondbacks strand a pair.
44:50As the lead remains.
44:513-1.
44:55Back now.
44:55New pitcher on the mound.
44:57As we roll into the bottom of the eighth.
44:58Kevin Ginkle.
45:00Well, the best relievers love the opportunity to come in and protect a tight lead.
45:04Late in the ballgame.
45:06Some of them are just wired different.
45:08So we'll see what he's got here.
45:12Pitching has been pretty dominant in this one.
45:14But you've got to be careful.
45:15Not working with too big a lead.
45:17They could get right back in this ballgame if you're not careful.
45:23Ripped to short.
45:26Whips it to Smith.
45:27Lead off man is out here in the eighth.
45:30We talk about how the ball is coming out on the pitcher's hand.
45:33The way it comes out of his hand as an infielder.
45:37Wow.
45:37Really impressive.
45:44Paduca stands in now and watches strike one.
45:47The Diamondbacks with some movement in the pen.
45:50Taylor Clark.
45:51The closer getting cranked up for a possible save opportunity.
45:54Stroud warming up as well.
45:57Swing and a high fly ball out there towards left field.
46:01Brings it in.
46:02Two down.
46:05And now here is Taylor Walls.
46:16In there at the knees.
46:18Strike one.
46:31And that will bring the tying run to the plate.
46:36Nice line drive.
46:44All side.
46:46Met it out front.
46:46But just stayed through it nice enough and ripped it into the outfield.
46:51Now a chance for Chandler Simpson.
46:55And fires in a fastball at 95.
47:06Strike two.
47:08He has a tendency to chase out of the zone.
47:10And that slider that's down.
47:11That's one of his money pitches to get that swing and miss.
47:16Out to short.
47:17Perdomo.
47:18There with plenty of time.
47:20And that ends the inning.
47:21One left for Tampa.
47:23And they still trail it here.
47:25Three to one.
47:32We're back.
47:33It's the top of the ninth.
47:34And there's a new pitcher on the mound.
47:35Ian Seymour.
47:37Definitely a guy that pounds the strike zone.
47:39Makes hitters earn their way on base.
47:41And rarely gets in trouble because of free passes.
47:45Thomas.
47:45Yeah.
47:46Leading things off and takes a strike.
47:51In the air.
47:53Right field.
47:53Fraley.
47:54Got to get an angle on it.
47:56Pulls it down and he makes the catch.
47:59One down.
48:00Up next for the Diamondbacks.
48:02Shortstop.
48:03And all those.
48:04Back to the top of the order now.
48:06Here's the shortstop at the plate.
48:08Peraldo Perdomo.
48:10Out towards right center field.
48:13And it gets by him.
48:19Clearly seeing the ball very well in this one.
48:21You know what they say.
48:22He couldn't have thrown it out there any better than that.
48:25And certainly the case that time.
48:27Just flirted back behind the second baseman and dropped it in there.
48:30Marte.
48:30Batting with one down.
48:32Takes a strike.
48:36Seymour.
48:36It is second season.
48:3827 years old.
48:40And he was a second round pick in 2020.
48:44Man at first one away.
48:46Line drive to short and caught.
48:50Man that could have been a big swing in this game.
48:53Just unlucky in a really unfortunate time right there.
48:56Next hit for Arizona.
48:58Corbin Carroll.
49:00That's in for a strike.
49:06Swing and a ground ball at the middle.
49:08That's a base hit.
49:11Throw in hopes the lead runner at second.
49:14Two on now with two away.
49:16So here's the cleanup hitter.
49:18Payton Smith.
49:20And that one fouled off.
49:24Now the 0-1.
49:27That one hammered but pulled foul.
49:34And a swing and a miss.
49:36Beat him with a fastball.
49:38It's the Diamondbacks three.
49:40The Rays won.
49:46Welcome back.
49:47And here comes the closer, Taylor Clark.
49:50I think closer has to be one of the toughest jobs in baseball.
49:53And we see a pretty high turnover rate because of it.
49:57Every outing seems to be high pressure.
49:59This one included.
50:00We'll see if he can wrap up the win and get himself a save.
50:04Caminero leading things off.
50:05It takes a strike.
50:12That one drilled left field.
50:16And it slams off the bottom of the wall.
50:19And that'll bring the tying run to the plate.
50:24Ball over that one right there.
50:26When you can turn the ball around and hit 107 off the bat, it's going to make you feel really
50:30good inside.
50:31He elevates that a little bit more.
50:33It's definitely out of here.
50:35Jonathan Arunda next to hit for the Rays.
50:370 for 3 in this one.
50:42In there and it's 0-1.
50:45The Diamondbacks trying to close out a two-run lead.
50:49And the home team trying to pull it out.
50:53Right side.
50:54Marte.
50:56Acrobatic throw for one.
50:57They get the double play.
50:59And just one out to go now.
51:01Well, that's a huge ball in play to get the double play defensively.
51:05Just one more guy to get this save for the closer.
51:07Last chance for the Rays.
51:09Yandy Diaz now.
51:13Top of the zone for a strike.
51:160-1-1.
51:17Two-run game with two away here in the bottom of the ninth.
51:24That's a base hit.
51:25And that'll bring the tying run to the plate.
51:32Up next for the Rays.
51:34Now up for Tampa Bay.
51:36Gavin Lux.
51:371 for 3.
51:46And there's a foul ball.
51:55Tying run at the plate.
51:58Swing and a ball driven.
52:00Out to center.
52:01That one carrying.
52:03Off the batter's eye and gone.
52:07A two-run blast.
52:10And we are all tied up.
52:13Talk about a clutch swing of the bat.
52:15He just changed this game in a big way.
52:31That's exactly the pitch he was looking for.
52:34Crushes it and hits it out of the ballpark.
52:46So it's all tied up thanks to the home run.
52:49Jake Fraley the next to hit.
52:55Two down nobody on.
52:57We're in the last half of the ninth inning.
53:02This one popped up.
53:03Middle of the infield.
53:05Marte.
53:06And that is that.
53:10So they push across the two runs they needed in the bottom of the ninth.
53:14And we'll play on.
53:15All tied up at three apiece.
53:19Back here in Tampa Bay.
53:21On to extra innings.
53:23Lourdes Gurriel Jr.
53:25Stands in now for the Diamondbacks.
53:27Oh that ball finds its way to the outfield.
53:30A base hit.
53:30Runner around third.
53:32On his way to the plate.
53:33The tag.
53:34And he's in there.
53:35Four to three.
53:36They take the lead.
53:37Well they didn't waste any time.
53:39If they knock on the runner from second to get on the board.
53:41Huge for team confidence.
53:43And how you approach the situation.
53:45Still have a guy on base.
53:46And now they'll try to add on.
53:48Moreno in the box here.
53:50Let's that one go for a ball.
53:59The 1-1 is fouled off.
54:03One on.
54:04Nobody out.
54:05A run in.
54:05And here in extra innings.
54:08On the ground.
54:09Fair ball.
54:11Around second is Gurriel.
54:15And he's going to get to second with nobody out.
54:19Man he just absolutely turned on that one.
54:21Ripped it down the line.
54:23Nice job of standing his mechanics.
54:25Next is the designated hitter.
54:27Adrian Del Castillo.
54:30Base hit.
54:31One run in already.
54:34Another comes in to score.
54:36And they take a three-run lead.
54:40No outs.
54:41Runner at first.
54:43Nolan Arenado.
54:44Stands in now for the Diamondbacks.
54:48That one's in there.
54:49And that's strike one.
54:54Down low.
54:55It kicks away.
54:57Throws to second.
54:58But he's in there easily.
55:00And now a man into scoring position.
55:07That's a bullet but it goes foul.
55:13Man at second.
55:15Swings through that.
55:17And it's a strikeout.
55:18And one out down.
55:22Here's the center fielder.
55:23Alec Thomas.
55:25Center fielder.
55:26Alec Thomas.
55:27No let's down.
55:43The one-two.
55:45Fouled off.
55:46And they'll do it again.
55:52Up the middle.
55:54Walls.
55:55Throw to first in time.
55:59Up next for the Diamondbacks.
56:02Back to the top of the order.
56:03Here's the Diamondbacks leadoff hitter.
56:05Geraldo Perdomo.
56:07And he takes a strike.
56:10Two outs and a runner at third.
56:12Here in extra innings.
56:13Grab all up the middle.
56:15Lux.
56:16To first.
56:17And that is that.
56:19Three runs on three hits.
56:21No errors.
56:22And a runner left.
56:22Last chance to even things up.
56:25We head to the bottom of inning.
56:28Back here in extras.
56:29And a new pitcher on the mound.
56:31In the bottom half of the inning.
56:32Cade Stratton.
56:34Runner in scoring position.
56:41Wow.
56:43Johnny DeLuca digs in down.
56:45Johnny DeLuca.
56:49And that drops in for a strike.
57:00Thumbs up empty.
57:01Well that's that slurp right there.
57:03Threw it extremely well.
57:05Talk about just a ton of breaks.
57:07So tough to get that barrel to.
57:09Ball.
57:17Swings and misses.
57:19Struck him out.
57:21Up next for the Rays.
57:23Catcher Hunter.
57:24So now with one away and a man at second.
