00:01It's no secret it has been a rough stretch for the Blue Jays recently.
00:04They have lost nine of their last 12.
00:07On the mound tonight is a former Giant.
00:09Kevin Gosman was with the Giants for two years before coming to the Blue Jays.
00:12He was an all-star in 2021.
00:14On the hill tonight for the Giants will be the right-hander, Landon Roop.
00:19Last time out, he did not get out of the third inning against Arizona, giving up six runs.
00:23Giants have not won a game that he started since the end of May.
00:26And he admitted he used the word that he's been pathetic, and he needs to figure things out.
00:31And it's grounded down to third.
00:33Backhanded by Schmidt, and a wide throw is going to bounce away from the first baseman Eldridge.
00:39And Clement is going to reach.
00:41And did that hit Ernie?
00:43That hit somebody.
00:44An error charged to Schmidt.
00:46Lead-off man aboard in painful fashion.
00:48He'll face a right-handed hitting Kazuma Okamoto with two-ounce and a runner on first.
00:52Swings here, and it's a high fly ball.
00:54Left field, Barracotto underneath it.
00:57He'll reach up and make the catch.
00:59Out number three.
01:00That's a very strong beginning for Landon Roop.
01:03Kevin Gosman is 35 years old in his 14th big league season.
01:07He is a two-time All-Star.
01:09He's back where he became an All-Star for the very first time as a Giant in 2021.
01:15Now we get Ramos, the right fielder, leads it off to the Giants.
01:18A 266 hitter on the season.
01:20It's this one out into triples alley, and on the move is Luke, still on the move.
01:24And it's off the archway, number seven.
01:27And here comes Ramos.
01:28He's digging for three.
01:30And the throw is into the dugout.
01:34And we have ourselves a lead-off Little League home run.
01:38If this was any other ballpark, this ball is way going.
01:42He hit this one 105 off the bat.
01:44Line drive off the bottom of the wall and triples alley.
01:47Ends up with the Little League home run, but a triple to boot, and the carom kind of gets away.
01:51This one just thrown into the dugout, and Ramos scores.
01:55How about that?
01:55Okay.
01:56To give the Giants a 1-0 lead in the first.
01:59Good take there by Adalas.
02:01The draw lead-off walk.
02:02Lead-off man aboard, and here's Bryce Eldridge, former first-round pick back in 2023.
02:07And a swing and a miss, threw a fastball to get him for out number one.
02:11I think maybe Eldridge had the splitter on his mind, and when you're looking or thinking splitter,
02:16that dig must have a little fastball by it.
02:18Second strikeout for Gossman, and now here's Victor Barricotto, a rookie.
02:22It's the slider, hit in the air to center, hit pretty well.
02:26Barsho back at the wall, makes the catch for out number two.
02:31This ball got up in the air, and this could be one of those that we're talking about here at
02:35Oracle Park.
02:36The wind is blowing pretty good right now from right to left.
02:39A long second out here at the bottom of the second, and now the catcher and the number nine hitter,
02:44Eric Haas.
02:45And a splitter in there for strike three call to end the inning.
02:49Lead-off walk, but nothing more.
02:50So here's Ramos to lead off the third.
02:52Ramos with a triple and a Little League home run from a throwing error.
02:57That's there.
02:58Yep, on the outside corner with a fastball.
03:0095, and he freezes him for out number one.
03:03Two down, here's Casey Schmidt, who struck out of the first.
03:06And he gets him swinging on his slider.
03:08Five Ks in three innings so far for Kevin Gossman, who sets down the Giants in order in the bottom
03:14of the third.
03:151-0 San Francisco.
03:16One hit so far for the Blue Jays, but Clement's single with one out in the third.
03:20Group has walked a couple, but the Blue Jays still unable to cash anybody in.
03:2527 scoreless innings entering this inning.
03:28He hits this one on the ground towards short, over to Pickett.
03:30Schmidt spins around, throws to first, pulled out of the dirt by Eldridge.
03:35Two down, good play all around.
03:36Two down.
03:37Here's Varshow, who struck out his first time up.
03:40Pitch is popped up.
03:423-1 pitch, and a cutter had Varshow out in front.
03:45Schmidt racing in from third, right in front of home plate.
03:48On the move, makes the catch of the pop-up, and Varshow is retired.
03:52So are the Blue Jays.
03:55Second walk given up by Gossman, and they've both been leadoff walks.
03:58Now Jung-Hoo Lee popped up in the first.
04:01And this is a shot in the right key, and a base hit.
04:04Devers!
04:05He's going to challenge, and there'll be no throw.
04:09Devers on the move, it's first and third.
04:11The Giants threatening, first and third, nobody out.
04:14So down one to nothing, and Gossman now dealing with first and third, nobody out.
04:19With Willie Adamas coming up.
04:20Swung on, grounded to short, a double play ball.
04:23The Blue Jays will turn it, but the Giants get the second run of the game.
04:27In most games, you will take the two outs for a run right here,
04:31but Kevin's out there thinking, yeah, I'll take the two outs,
04:33but this offense certainly has to score some runs at some point.
04:36Being down two nothing right now, probably feels like six nothing to the pitcher.
04:39The Blue Jays now having gone scoreless through four innings tonight.
04:43Joe, this is their longest scoreless inning drought in 18 years.
04:482008 is the last time this happened.
04:51In 2008, they went 31 consecutive innings without score.
04:55Just in a 1-2-3 inning for Roop, who's now retired seven in a row.
04:59But on the very first pitch, Eric Haas executes a sacrifice, moves Barracotto to second.
05:04And that's a beautiful sacrifice bump from Haas.
05:06Your nine-hole hitter, you get a nice single,
05:08and this sets up two hot hitters with Ramos in our eyes to have RBI opportunities.
05:13Ramos, a hard shot past the mound, up the middle,
05:16fielded by Clement, who was just playing him perfectly.
05:20On the play, Barracotto goes to third, but Clement throws out Ramos.
05:24The two outs runner at third, Arise will try to add to the Giants' 2-0 lead.
05:28If you're wondering about Gaussman putting Arise on,
05:31entering tonight, Arise 9-for-12 against Gaussman.
05:34So, left-handed bat, base open, this is the move.
05:38Here's Schmidt.
05:39We'll see if Schmidt can burn the Jays for that decision.
05:42Two on, two out.
05:442-0 Giants, bottom five.
05:46Runner goes, swing and a miss.
05:47Throw down to second.
05:48They're going to come home.
05:49It's going to be wide.
05:50And sliding in safely is Barracotto.
05:53And the Giants steal a run.
05:55How about that?
05:56The throw from Alejandro Kirk is high.
05:58Ernie has to jump, and then he gets rid of it so quickly
06:00that he yanks his throw.
06:02And the runner slides in safely, very easily.
06:05That is just poor execution.
06:07That's just highway robbery to steal a run like that with two outs.
06:10Third time through the order for the Blue Jays.
06:12They're looking to get going here.
06:13Down 3-0 now in the top of the sixth inning.
06:16Quickly, two outs in the inning.
06:17High and deep to left center.
06:20Kaz Okamoto has hit it out.
06:23And finally, that long scoreless drought is broken as Okamoto hits his 20th home run of
06:30the season.
06:31And the Blue Jays have a run.
06:33There will be no 30 consecutive scoreless streak as they snap it at 29 and two-thirds
06:40with Okamoto's 20th home run of his rookie season.
06:443-1 Giants.
06:45Space is loaded.
06:46A walk, an error, and another walk loading the bases.
06:50And it's the noisiest it's been in a long time right now here at Oracle Park.
06:54One out.
06:55Here's Barracotto, who's had two really good at-bats in this game.
06:59Line drive.
07:00It's a base hit.
07:02They're off to the races.
07:05Devers scores.
07:06Lee scores.
07:08Barracotto with a single and two runs batted in.
07:11Five-to-one Giants.
07:13And Victor Barracotto's having a heck of a game.
07:16Two more big runs for the Giants to add on, and that will be it for the Blue Jays' right
07:21-hander.
07:21Gone after five and a third tonight.
07:24So it's now five-to-one Giants with two runs in here in the bottom of the sixth inning.
07:28And Tommy Nance is first man out of the bullpen tonight.
07:31Two down.
07:31Runners on first and third.
07:33Back to the top of the order now for Elliott Ramos.
07:35This one's hit deep to right.
07:37Down the line.
07:39Out of here.
07:40He didn't hit it into the bay, but what a swing.
07:44And Elliott is flying around the bases.
07:46The Giants have busted this game wide open.
07:49It's eight-to-one.
07:50That's passion, baby.
07:52He's so excited.
07:54I don't know if I've seen anyone run around the bases that fast in a long time.
07:58But, man, big man hit it the beast.
08:01Elliott Ramos, and he is fired up as he comes into the dugout.
08:06What a blast.
08:07Eight-to-one Giants.
08:09Seventh inning.
08:10Landon Roop still in the game.
08:11Landon Roop came into this game with a 577 ERA in his last 11 starts.
08:17And the Giants had lost every one of those games.
08:20But it's obviously looking like a much different story here tonight.
08:23Seven strong innings from Landon Roop, but he may not be done.
08:27Landon Roop, Giants starter, still in the game.
08:29Eighth inning.
08:30Giants leading 8-to-1.
08:31Roop has held the Blue Jays to one run on two hits.
08:34He's walked up here and punched out three.
08:362-2.
08:36Half swing and miss.
08:37Strike three.
08:38Got him with another cutter.
08:40The high cutter right there.
08:42Jimenez didn't have that one clocked on the book.
08:44He was expecting curveball.
08:46He throws.
08:47Lucas hits a base hit into right field.
08:49Just kind of a low liner for a two-out single.
08:52We'll see if he can get Vlad Jr. with a runner at first and two outs.
08:57Swigs and misses.
08:58Strike three.
08:59And if that's the last pitch that Landon Roop throws, what a night for him.
09:03Eight beautiful innings.
09:05He gets a high five from his catcher Haas as he walks off the mound.
09:09Self-paw Adam Mako into the game.
09:118-1 Giants.
09:12Two down.
09:13Here's Elliott Ramos who broke it open with a three-run homer back in the six.
09:18Ramos, it's a high drive.
09:20Left field.
09:22It is out of here.
09:25A titanic home run from Elliott Ramos to cap off.
09:31A monster night.
09:33He's got a triple and two home runs.
09:36It's 10-1 Giants.
09:39Jeez, Luis.
09:42This time Ramos takes his time.
09:44He hit this one 110 and almost went to the Coke bottle.
09:48My goodness.
09:49You get an idea how strong this guy is.
09:52All right, ninth inning, 10-1 Giants.
09:54And the Giants are one out away from a series opening win.
09:57Kirk hits a fly ball to right.
09:59Ramos fittingly going back.
10:01He'll be the guy to squeeze it for the final out of the game.
10:05And it was Elliott Ramos' night.
10:07He, Landon Roop, Victor Barracotto, and friends combined on a very impressive 10-1 win.
