00:00:20From inside Tropicana Field here in Tampa Bay,
00:00:24the show brings you a matchup of division rivals.
00:00:26It's the New York Yankees taking on the Tampa Bay Rays.
00:00:33And we'll be back with the first pitch right after this.
00:00:40Now the starting pitcher in this one, Ian Seymour.
00:00:44What do we have on him?
00:00:45Well, last time out, picked up the win, didn't allow a run, pitched extremely well.
00:00:50He doesn't have to be perfect, but if he can give another performance like last time out,
00:00:54his team will be happy.
00:00:55Ready to go now, Trent Grisham stepping in now for the Yankees.
00:00:59And that's how this four-game series gets underway.
00:01:09In the air, foul off first.
00:01:15He's there.
00:01:16He's got it.
00:01:17One away.
00:01:19As we take a look now at the New York Yankees lineup.
00:01:23This is a ball club that can really slug lots of homers, lots of extra base hits.
00:01:28And Chris, that, of course, a huge part of success in the standings for this group.
00:01:32In today's game, hitting with power is essential, Boog.
00:01:35With pitchers throwing 95 and above, stringing hits together is hard to do.
00:01:40So home runs and extra base hits are crucial, and that's exactly what they've been doing.
00:01:45There's the strike.
00:01:47Just underway from Tropicana Field.
00:01:52Fly ball down the line.
00:01:53That one is foul, and he'll see another.
00:02:06This one in the air center field.
00:02:11Mullins takes it in for the out.
00:02:13And there's two down.
00:02:17Batty third.
00:02:18First baseman, Ben Rice.
00:02:20Stepping in, Ben Rice.
00:02:24Rice matched a homer in his last game.
00:02:27And first offering is fouled off.
00:02:34Two down, nobody on.
00:02:36Right through there for a strike.
00:02:38Well, as a hitter, you're hoping that the command on that sinker doesn't come until later in the ball game.
00:02:42But if that's how it's going to be all day, it's going to be a tough one for the offense.
00:02:51Knocks that one away, and we'll do it again.
00:03:01Ripped to short.
00:03:03And the Yanks go quietly.
00:03:06Now it's the Rays' turn.
00:03:08No score.
00:03:08You're watching Yankees baseball on the show, NYC.
00:03:14We go to the bottom of the first.
00:03:16And starting for the Yankees, the right-hander, Garrett Cole.
00:03:20Tell us about him in that sub-three ERA singing.
00:03:24Well, anytime you can keep your ERA under three, you're doing a lot of things right.
00:03:28And you're putting your team in a position to win a lot of ball games as well.
00:03:32And he's doing tremendous out there on the mound.
00:03:35Every time he gets the ball, you expect him to go out there and dominate.
00:03:38And that's what he's been to this point.
00:03:40We'll see how he is today.
00:03:42Chandler Simpson leading things off and takes a strike.
00:03:49And one fouled off.
00:03:51The Rays could really use a win here in the thick of the postseason hunt.
00:03:59Swing and he breaks his bat.
00:04:02Caballero takes it in for the out.
00:04:04One up, one down.
00:04:06Now a look at Kevin Cash's lineup for the Tampa Bay Rays.
00:04:10Someone who makes things happen for them in part with his legs.
00:04:14Chandler Simpson.
00:04:15And next is the designated hitter, Jonathan Aranda.
00:04:24And every game seems bigger once you get past the All-Star break, Boo.
00:04:29Some teams get paralyzed by that pressure, but the best teams rise to the moment.
00:04:34That one hammered center field.
00:04:36Carrying well.
00:04:38Makes the catch up against the wall.
00:04:42Letting third.
00:04:43Third baseman, Junior Camonero.
00:04:47So next to the plate for Tampa Bay, Junior Camonero.
00:04:57All right.
00:05:08Comes up empty.
00:05:09This guy's not wasting any pitches.
00:05:11Hitters got to get into swing mode.
00:05:13This is a good time to expand the zone.
00:05:15Throw something maybe down in the dirt.
00:05:18See if he can go upstairs a little bit.
00:05:20Make sure you miss up and out of the zone since you're heading to count one, two.
00:05:24Don't miss in the zone.
00:05:25Oh, that ball got him pretty good out there on the mound.
00:05:28The throw is still in time.
00:05:30He keeps his composure and they get the out.
00:05:33We played an inning.
00:05:34No score.
00:05:40Back here at Tropicana Field.
00:05:42So now the Yankees clean up hitter.
00:05:44Jazz Chisholm, Junior.
00:05:48And that one in the air center field.
00:05:52Mullins takes it in for the out.
00:05:55One down.
00:05:57Ball.
00:05:58Batting fifth left fielder, Cody Bellinger.
00:06:01Here comes Cody Bellinger.
00:06:05Bellinger went deep in his most recent game.
00:06:08And that is downstairs.
00:06:11Ball one.
00:06:19Hammered on a line to the left.
00:06:21Base hit.
00:06:22So a man aboard now with one away.
00:06:25Love how he let that ball travel.
00:06:27Trusted his hands.
00:06:28Nice job of going the other way.
00:06:30Paul Goldschmidt will climb in.
00:06:34Ground ball left side.
00:06:36Can't glove it cleanly.
00:06:38Still finds a way to get off a throw.
00:06:40And no shot to get him at first.
00:06:42There's two aboard.
00:06:43Didn't take long to get a result for that at bat.
00:06:45Runner in scoring position now.
00:06:47And a good opportunity to push across the first run of the ball game.
00:06:52Gratted to third.
00:06:53Could be two.
00:06:54The tag at third.
00:06:55He's out.
00:06:57Good fade and sinking action of that changeup.
00:06:59Got that hitter to roll over.
00:07:01Betting eighth shortstop, Jose Caballero.
00:07:04Now, Jose Caballero.
00:07:07Two hits yesterday.
00:07:08One was a home run.
00:07:12Now, one missed.
00:07:13Nobody on the team has more stolen bases than he does this season, Chris.
00:07:20Misses the sweeper.
00:07:22The Yankees looking to strike first.
00:07:25Here at the top of the second.
00:07:26Hard hit to right center.
00:07:28And that's the third out.
00:07:30We'll go to the bottom of the second.
00:07:32No score.
00:07:36Ready to go for the last half of the inning.
00:07:38And stepping in for the raise.
00:07:40Johnny DeLuca.
00:07:44Little bit low.
00:07:46Ball one.
00:07:47Catcher challenge.
00:07:48We'll take another look.
00:07:51Didn't miss by too much, but it'll stay a ball.
00:07:54Still one challenge left for them.
00:08:04Swing and that's ripped towards right center.
00:08:06Full extension makes the catch.
00:08:10What a play.
00:08:17This dive wasn't the result of a bad route.
00:08:19The only reason he made the play is because his route was so good.
00:08:23No doubt, Boog.
00:08:24StatCast tells the same story.
00:08:26I mean, he got to a spot as quickly as you can possibly get there.
00:08:30And he had to in order to have a chance at that diving play.
00:08:34Just special.
00:08:35Cedric Mullins.
00:08:36The next to hit.
00:08:38Takes ball one.
00:08:39Second inning here.
00:08:40No score.
00:08:46Ball.
00:08:59Late swing.
00:09:00Foul to the left.
00:09:17Two and two.
00:09:21On the ground.
00:09:22A dive.
00:09:22He's got it.
00:09:23Throws from his knees.
00:09:25Safe at first as they can't make the play.
00:09:39One down.
00:09:41So, next to the plate for Tampa Bay.
00:09:43Yandy Diaz.
00:09:46Ball.
00:09:47Well, we're expecting to see strikeouts in this one.
00:09:49Cole is in the 2000 strikeout club and only needed around 1700 innings to get there.
00:09:55You know, only Chris Sale and Pedro Martinez needed fewer innings to reach.
00:09:59Runner on the goal.
00:10:00Pitch in for a strike.
00:10:02Throw to second.
00:10:04Out of bounds.
00:10:05Safe.
00:10:05You know what?
00:10:06I like the aggressiveness right there.
00:10:08It looks like it's going to be tough to score in this one.
00:10:10Really good pitching so far.
00:10:11So, why not try to put some pressure on them and see if you can steal the bag.
00:10:15Get in the scoring position.
00:10:21Man at second.
00:10:23In for a strike.
00:10:24One and two.
00:10:35Comes up empty as he chases that one in the dirt.
00:10:38Runner on third after the stolen base.
00:10:40Even with the dropped strike three.
00:10:43Nice job recovering to complete the strikeout at first base right there.
00:10:46Even though the runner from second does move up to third.
00:10:49It's not a big deal in this situation now that they're two outs.
00:10:52Just makes blocking pitches in the dirt to this next batter even more critical.
00:10:59Carson Williams up to bat next.
00:11:01Lays off for a ball.
00:11:02The Rays with a chance to score first as we play game one of this four game series.
00:11:10Shot into the gap and that should bring in the run.
00:11:14And they'll score first.
00:11:15It's one zip.
00:11:18Pulls into second.
00:11:19That's an RBI double.
00:11:22Well, they strike first as he gets the job done to bring home the run.
00:11:25Pretty much just a textbook double into the gap.
00:11:28And when you can drop one in there between the outfielders, you know you're making the turn at first.
00:11:33Just an excellent swing.
00:11:35So a runner at second.
00:11:36Two down.
00:11:37Blake Sable next to hit for the Rays.
00:11:42Fast ball for a strike.
00:11:54Man on second.
00:11:56Two down.
00:11:57Swing and a miss.
00:11:58Two down.
00:11:59All you got to do is concentrate and execute this next pitch.
00:12:02Get yourself out of the jam.
00:12:04Back into the dugout.
00:12:08Got him swinging for the strikeout.
00:12:11They limit the damage here.
00:12:13Rays get an RBI double.
00:12:15It's now 1-0.
00:12:17It's an AL East back shove here on MLB The Show.
00:12:24Back here at the ballpark.
00:12:26Coming off a series where they were red hot at the plate.
00:12:30And a look at the numbers.
00:12:43Fouled off.
00:12:44He was late.
00:12:50Up the middle.
00:12:51And that one finds its way through.
00:12:54And a man up forward.
00:12:55I'd say a mistake pitch in an 0-2 count.
00:12:58Too good of a pitch to hit right there.
00:12:59You have to expand the zone.
00:13:01Keep that leadoff man off first base.
00:13:05So the batter now will be Trent Grisham.
00:13:10Swings through the sweeper.
00:13:18Wiggins side gets out of the way.
00:13:20Straighten him up a little bit.
00:13:23McMahon aboard here at first with nobody out.
00:13:26Right through there for a strike.
00:13:34Swing and a ground ball up the middle.
00:13:37And a base hit.
00:13:40Mullins whips it back in.
00:13:42Runner holds it second.
00:13:43But they've got something going on here.
00:13:45Just a nice job coming through in a pretty high leverage spot right there.
00:13:49Timing on the swing was good.
00:13:51Able to shoot the ball up the middle.
00:13:53Didn't square it up as much as he probably would have liked.
00:13:55But that's a good approach paying off.
00:14:00Judge in the box here and fouls it off for strike one.
00:14:090-1 now.
00:14:11And Judge takes a strike.
00:14:13So now it's all about protect mode.
00:14:15Try to shorten up.
00:14:16Try to track the ball.
00:14:17Block it.
00:14:18Swing and a miss.
00:14:19That's a strikeout.
00:14:21And that is a big first out.
00:14:23Well he didn't want to go after him with the fastball at all.
00:14:25And that at bat.
00:14:26Nothing but off-speed stuff.
00:14:28Even with all the change-ups coming.
00:14:30Somehow he was still early on the swing.
00:14:32So I think he had to be thinking it was only a matter of time until he saw some heat.
00:14:36Rice.
00:14:37In the box now.
00:14:38Takes strike one.
00:14:40Runners at first and second with one gone.
00:14:42As the Rays try and punch back down the run.
00:14:47Well all eyes on the double play ball in this spot.
00:14:51No better way to get out of this inning.
00:14:53On the ground right side.
00:14:54The turn by Williams at second.
00:14:57Played first but he beat it.
00:15:00Up next for the Yankees.
00:15:02Second baseman.
00:15:03Jazz Chisholm Jr.
00:15:06Jazz Chisholm Jr. now.
00:15:08He's over one.
00:15:14And there's the strike.
00:15:16Yep.
00:15:16Now this guy is just filling up the strike zone right now.
00:15:18Don't want to get yourself in an 0-2 hole.
00:15:20You better be ready to pull the trigger on the first pit.
00:15:24Base hit.
00:15:24In to score from third.
00:15:27It's an RBI single.
00:15:29It's 1-1.
00:15:30Well we're starting over again.
00:15:32All tied up.
00:15:32Takes an inside pitch and just fillets it over there to left field.
00:15:36And that's all he had to do is get some to the outfield grass to push that run across.
00:15:41First and second.
00:15:42Two outs.
00:15:43Cody Bellinger.
00:15:44Now at the plate.
00:15:46There's his strike.
00:15:55Chopped on the ground.
00:15:57Diaz.
00:15:58And they put the tag on him.
00:16:00That's the third out inning over.
00:16:02But the RBI single pushes across a run.
00:16:05All even at one apiece.
00:16:07It's an AL East matchup here on MLB The Show.
00:16:12Bottom of the inning.
00:16:13And stepping in for the Rays.
00:16:15Yadr Aranamo.
00:16:16Second baseman.
00:16:17Number 35.
00:16:20Fight!
00:16:31Check swing and he went.
00:16:330 and 2.
00:16:42Just missed.
00:16:44Really good take.
00:16:45Especially with two strikes.
00:16:52Tap back to the mound.
00:16:55in plenty of time to first leadoff man retired here in the third good late bite on that slider
00:17:01got the hitter out in front rolled over on it exactly what it was supposed to do so the

00:20:07Ryan McMahon steps to the plate one for one with a single and a run scored so far

00:21:17on the ground to the left Williams

00:21:27home
00:21:27and midway in the fourth all tied 1-1
00:21:33back now in Tampa Bay and stepping in for the Rays Junior Caminero
00:21:38Junior Caminero
00:21:44just missed
00:21:45Chris he's their team leader when it comes to RBI
00:21:52on the ground to Jazz
00:21:56one out in the bottom of the fourth
00:22:01and here's a look at how he's using his pitches in this one
00:22:04right fielder Johnny DeLuca
00:22:07so now it's the four-hole hitter Johnny DeLuca
00:22:11and remember he was absolutely robbed of a base hit last time up
00:22:18he doesn't get a knock right here that pitch he just took is going to eat at him for a
00:22:22while
00:22:23you might not see another pitch like that from a top-level guy like this
00:22:29no outside
00:22:37back to the mound he's got it
00:22:39gets it to first already two gone here in the home four for the Rays center fielder Cedric Mullins
00:22:47and now the center fielder Cedric Mullins
00:22:56oh
00:23:18two down nobody on in the year to left center Grisham under it and the
00:23:27inning is over. Offense held a check there. We're headed to the fifth. All tied 1-1.
00:23:38Back here in Tampa Bay, it's Aaron Judge now. Steps in with an OPS that's been through the roof.
00:23:46Power and patience in one package. An impressive list. He's doing damage and getting on base.
00:23:52That's rare. The kind of balance every manager wants and the stats prove his work.
00:23:58Oh, can't pick it up cleanly. Safe at first. No play. We'll see how they score this.
00:24:04That grounder up the middle made it a little more challenging than a routine ball right at him,
00:24:08but it's definitely a play you expect to make as a middle infielder and I'm sure he wants that one
00:24:14back.
00:24:14Judge on the run. Rice at the plate now and that's strike one.
00:24:21The O-1. Rudder goes again. Swing and a miss.
00:24:25No throw. He's in there safely.
00:24:28And the go-ahead run is now in scored position.
00:24:39Ball.
00:24:40Ball.
00:24:41Ball.
00:24:42Ball.
00:24:43Ball.
00:24:43Ball.
00:24:48Ball.
00:24:48Ball two.
00:24:52Go ahead run in scoring position.
00:24:55Nobody out.
00:24:56Keeps the impact going with a foul ball.
00:25:06Spoils that one and it remains two and two.
00:25:17foul ball left side he'll see another good battle here about to be the eighth
00:25:24pitch of the bat rip to third over to Diaz that was a strong at bat even though
00:25:31he couldn't find a way on base and next will be the cleanup hitter Jazz Chisholm
00:25:39jr. RBI not form last time now a chance to drive in another run
00:25:52and now a little bit low and the count is 2-0
00:26:01the next offering misses and now 3-0 well this is a little tough for the hitter in
00:26:06the back of the mind you're wondering with first base open am I gonna get a
00:26:10pitch to hit gotta stay back let your hands work stay in the middle of the
00:26:14field that's a tough spot for the catcher boo no chance of stopping the outside
00:26:19pitch and now the runner moves up those moments can be really frustrating big
00:26:25spot and Cody Bellinger stepping to the dish
00:26:31that smashed towards center Mullins has a bead on it he's got it run attacks for home
00:26:38in the score from third it's 2-1 what a time to miss the cutoff boo if he puts that
00:26:45throw in the money they've got a chance to get that runner at home instead of
00:26:49critical run scores that could swing this game Paul Goldschmidt down and a swing and a miss
00:26:56there Benny really sells the change up with that arm action and that is out of play
00:27:16fights it off you'll see another one run across in the frame so far we're at the top of the
00:27:24fifth
00:27:24Caminero throws the first in time and they get Goldschmidt for the out that's the
00:27:31third out no hits but an error to walk lead to a run home half of the fifth coming up
00:27:36it's the Yankees 2 the Rays 1 we head to the bottom of the fifth and stepping in for the
00:27:44Rays
00:27:44Yankee Diaz
00:27:51I want to get beat by a fastball in and he spits on that one
00:28:02that's out to center field pulls up and that's in there for a knock and the tying run is on
00:28:09base just
00:28:10so sound in his mechanics hits against a firm front side and the hands just continue to carry through
00:28:17the middle of the field
00:28:19Carson
00:28:25Williams
00:28:25next to hit for the Rays he doubled home a run at his first A-B
00:28:34just missed
00:28:47high fly ball lifted in the year right field judge settles under this one brings it in and there's one
00:28:54away
00:28:57up next for the Rays catcher
00:29:01one out man at first and now the catcher for the Rays Blake Sable 0 for 1 he struck out
00:29:08swinging last time
00:29:16and
00:29:17no take right there showed some really good discipline breaking ball coming in you see it well
00:29:21but don't trust that it's going to hang on for a strike nice job
00:29:28and that one is lifted in the air Grisham on the move
00:29:33he's got it
00:29:34and there's two away
00:29:37that's just a really nice catch on the run right there he saved extra bases for sure
00:29:42if the pitcher's his friend he'll give him a second to catch his breath before he's ready to deal the
00:29:47next pitch
00:29:47and
00:29:48Yotar Aranamo digs in down
00:29:50ground it out
00:29:51his first time
00:29:55well this looks like it's going to be a wasted opportunities frustrating when you get the leadoff man on but
00:30:00you can't get him into scoring position
00:30:02they're gonna need a big knock try to put something up on the board
00:30:05the old one
00:30:08in the air right field
00:30:10and that is that
00:30:15so they can't do anything with the leadoff single there
00:30:18we're through five
00:30:19it's the Yankees to the Rays one
00:30:23here at Tropicana Field
00:30:25close game here and a chance now to look at a few highlights from this one
00:30:35here at Tropicana Field
00:30:56so out of the pan comes the right-hander
00:30:59Michael Grove
00:31:0050th time he's coming to a game this year
00:31:02he's been relied on out of the pen quite a bit
00:31:06well one run game
00:31:07and now the catcher comes up to him
00:31:09Austin Wells
00:31:11you know these Yankees simply put are producing a lot of quality swings
00:31:16they've hit seven line drives already and even though some of them have been for outs
00:31:21there's nothing wrong with delivering consistent hard contact
00:31:24that's almost always going to lead to positive results
00:31:28one one down
00:31:33fastball for a strike at 95
00:31:44swing and a miss struck him out
00:31:51Jose Caballero
00:31:52stepping in down for the Yankees
00:31:55use the big part of the field last time nice liner to center
00:32:02that two-seam fastball is usually coupled with a slider away and when a hitter's conscious of the pitch in
00:32:08it's hard for him to cover middle away and that's where a pitcher can really finish off that batter
00:32:13the shortstop takes the ball
00:32:16the shortstop takes the ball
00:32:16Grove in his fourth year 29 years old and he was a second round pick back in 2018
00:32:24right side
00:32:27two quick outs to open the top of the sixth
00:32:33up next for the Yankees third baseman
00:32:36two outs base is empty Ryan McMahon
00:32:39now at the plate
00:32:46good slider from an opposite handed pitcher has to stay in that tunnel just a little bit longer otherwise recognition
00:32:52can cause you to barrel it up and right there the hitter clearly couldn't do anything with it
00:32:56foul ball
00:33:02two down nobody on and we're the top half of the sixth
00:33:09good slider down and it can be so hard to get on playing with you're better off taking that pitch
00:33:21ball two
00:33:31good
00:33:32third out
00:33:34so the Yanks go in order
00:33:36they lead it 2-1
00:33:43back now in Tampa Bay
00:33:45here's the Rays leadoff hitter
00:33:47Chandler Simpson
00:33:48Chandler Simpson
00:33:55ball
00:34:04and that misses and that's ball to challenge from behind the dish here pretty close but it was a ball
00:34:12so they're now out of challenges
00:34:23swing and a line drive that's a base hit into center field off to a good start with a leadoff
00:34:29down
00:34:31so important to get into the fielding position as you deliver that baseball that is a scary one watch your
00:34:38lips
00:34:39right
00:34:39to the plate
00:34:40to the plate now for the Rays is the D.H.
00:34:42Jonathan Aranda
00:34:43Jonathan Aranda
00:34:44that one finds the zone
00:34:45going one
00:34:48raised down by a run
00:34:49here in the bottom of the six
00:34:52runner on the goal
00:34:54pitch in for a strike
00:34:55throw bounces
00:34:57bounces and he's in there safely with the stolen base
00:35:00and the tying run is now in scoring position
00:35:12fouls it back with two strikes
00:35:22blazer to the gaps
00:35:24blazer to the gaps
00:35:24hit score the run
00:35:25runner around third
00:35:26he scores to tie it up
00:35:30safe at second with nobody out
00:35:32and that double has the go ahead run and score in position
00:35:35well there you go
00:35:37the RBI machine
00:35:38another clutch run scoring it back
00:35:41yeah he's been so good in these situations
00:35:44call it clutch if you want
00:35:46but his resume speaks for itself
00:35:48stepping in the long ball threat
00:35:50Junior Caminero
00:35:52he's grounded out a couple of times
00:36:01a mistake right here could untie this ball game
00:36:04if you're the pitcher out there
00:36:05you just want to be a little more cautious
00:36:12popped up
00:36:14Chisholm settles under it
00:36:17and there's one down
00:36:22up next for the Rays
00:36:24now it's the right fielder
00:36:26Johnny DeLuca
00:36:35down the middle for a strike
00:36:374-1
00:36:37movement in the Yankees pen
00:36:39Fernando Cruz
00:36:41a right-hander with big strikeout stuff
00:36:43is getting it fired up
00:36:45Bednar
00:36:45also throwing
00:37:00and it's second
00:37:02swings through it and that's a strikeout
00:37:04that's tough you see it well
00:37:06I mean that was clearly up and out of the strike zone
00:37:08but that's one of the hardest things
00:37:09that when you see a pitch out of the hand
00:37:12at eye level
00:37:13that discipline to remember
00:37:15I can't hit that pitch
00:37:17if I can see it really well at eye level
00:37:19I can't catch up to that pitch
00:37:21when a pitcher's got this kind of velocity
00:37:22here on Mullins
00:37:23in the box now
00:37:24take strike one
00:37:35shot into the gap
00:37:36and that should bring in the run
00:37:38runner around third
00:37:39on his way to the plate
00:37:41he will score
00:37:42and they take the lead
00:37:43and in it's second with an RBI double
00:37:46big swing of the bat right there to give him the lead
00:37:49that was clutch
00:37:50just a cookie down the middle
00:37:52I mean those are the ones you dream about
00:37:53the ones in the cage
00:37:54you're just hoping you get in the ball game
00:37:56right down the middle not a whole lot of velocity
00:37:58right on top of it
00:38:01manager out of the dugout now
00:38:03and it looks like we'll see a change on the mound
00:38:05Garrett Cole is done in this one
00:38:08and they trail as he exits
00:38:10but he kept them close
00:38:11a new arm will be on the mound
00:38:13after the break
00:38:19out of the bullpen for the Yankees
00:38:22Luis Hill
00:38:22and that's a big potential run out there at second
00:38:25as he comes in trying to keep the deficit where it is
00:38:28for the infielders
00:38:30they got to be thinking about keeping the ball from getting by them
00:38:32into the outfield any way they can
00:38:37Diaz in the box now take strike one
00:38:48swing and a ball popped in the air
00:38:50base hit
00:38:51Mullins headed home
00:38:52here's the throw to the plate
00:38:54safe
00:38:55and the runner from second scores on the play
00:38:58and they lead by two
00:39:00I was watching his rounds during batting practice today
00:39:03so impressed with his ability to let the ball travel
00:39:06go back up the middle in the other way
00:39:08sometimes when you step in the box during the game
00:39:10you get a little anxious and you get away from that
00:39:12but so far I've seen him stay consistent with his pregame preparation
00:39:15Williams in the box again
00:39:17takes the strike
00:39:25foul ball there
00:39:38got him swinging
00:39:42three runs on four hits no errors and one left off we're through six full
00:39:47it's the Rays 4 and the Yankees
00:39:51welcome back as we take a look at their upcoming schedule
00:40:08the Yankees looking to rally
00:40:16on the ground right side
00:40:19Diaz takes it himself
00:40:21and the lead off hitter sat down open to seven
00:40:23that's a huge defensive play in the late stages of the game
00:40:27it might not be the most challenging we've seen today
00:40:30but it needed to be made
00:40:32that's helping your team
00:40:36that one back up the middle and it gets through
00:40:41and that'll bring the tying run to the plate
00:40:45waste no time there
00:40:46really nice job staying up the middle with his approach
00:40:49he didn't try to do too much with the pitch
00:40:51just shot it through the infield
00:40:55so up
00:41:02for New York
00:41:03Ben Rice
00:41:07line to the right center field
00:41:09that's a base hit
00:41:10judge around second
00:41:11and they'll have runners at the corners after a one-ounce single
00:41:15well that was an important at bat in this game
00:41:17so a great job there stepping up to the challenge
00:41:19really important at bat coming up now
00:41:25now Jazz Chisholm Jr. steps up for a big at bat
00:41:29yeah that's fouled off
00:41:31the last thing he wants is to hit the ball on the ground
00:41:34but I wouldn't expect many pitches up in the
00:41:36hard hit into the gap
00:41:38one run will score
00:41:43around third
00:41:46he'll score
00:41:47and the Yankees even it up
00:41:49well Singy he is locked in there
00:41:52well he's really slowed the game down
00:41:54and it's like he's moving in full speed
00:41:57and everybody is a step or two behind
00:41:59the way that he's squared up that baseball
00:42:01tells me that he is seeing it like a beach ball
00:42:04Bellinger in the box lays off for ball one
00:42:07the skipper comes down to the bullpen
00:42:09he's expecting the guy to come in and get out
00:42:13so far not getting what he was hoping for
00:42:15tied at four
00:42:17right through there for a strike
00:42:26line and a base hit into right
00:42:29fires to the plate
00:42:31tag
00:42:32not in time
00:42:33safe
00:42:34and it's now 5-4
00:42:36well he comes through clutch with the RBI single
00:42:39that was big
00:42:40nice line drive to the pull side
00:42:47manager out of the dugout
00:42:48and he's gonna make a change
00:42:50Michael Grove departs
00:42:52and he leaves in a one run game
00:42:54new pitcher coming up
00:42:56we'll be back in a minute
00:43:04now
00:43:05now
00:43:05Cam Boozer
00:43:07gets handed the rock out of the pen
00:43:08just trying to keep this one close here
00:43:10and this is where a bullpen can give their players
00:43:13a chance to fight back into the game
00:43:15now it's Goldschmidt up to the plate
00:43:17ball
00:43:19already three runs across in the frame
00:43:22here at the top half of inning number seven
00:43:24Williams
00:43:25one second
00:43:26what a double play
00:43:28that was
00:43:29inning over
00:43:29so they get three
00:43:31and jump ahead late
00:43:33seventh inning stretch time
00:43:34it's the Yankees five
00:43:36the Rays four
00:43:37it's an AL East back jump
00:43:39here
00:43:41bottom of the seventh
00:43:42and step
00:43:43in for the Rays
00:43:50Blake Sable
00:43:51Blake Sable
00:43:56no
00:43:57that's a ball
00:44:06line drive
00:44:07base hit
00:44:09and that puts the tying run
00:44:11down on base
00:44:14always feels amazing
00:44:15getting the job done
00:44:16when the team needs you
00:44:17to come through
00:44:18it's just bigger than your own
00:44:20individual stats
00:44:21pretty much a model swing on that one
00:44:23as he ripped it into the opposite field gap
00:44:25and I'm sure he's gonna be watching that one
00:44:27back on video
00:44:28because that's the kind of swing
00:44:29you in a bottle
00:44:30so many positives
00:44:31that led to that knock
00:44:32Aranamo
00:44:33stands in now
00:44:34and watches strike one
00:44:40comes up empty
00:44:49in there
00:44:49got him looking for the K
00:44:51no that's not the best two strike fastball I've seen
00:44:54but certainly got away with the location there
00:44:57you know sometimes
00:44:57as a hitter when you're down in the count
00:44:59you're so focused on
00:45:01a pitcher painting the black
00:45:02and
00:45:03you just get a little bit locked up
00:45:05on something down the heart of the plate
00:45:06not expecting it
00:45:08and it just kind of freezes you
00:45:09this one in the year
00:45:11center field
00:45:14Grisham is there
00:45:14makes the catch
00:45:22here comes the manager out of the dugout
00:45:24and he'll make a move for the bullpen
00:45:26Luis Hill won't go any further tonight
00:45:28we'll be back in a minute with a new arm on the mound
00:45:40now pitching for the pitcher out here David Benton
00:45:44David
00:45:44these are the spots relievers really make a name for themselves
00:45:48late and close
00:45:50there's not much margin for error but at the same time there's a reason they're put in these situations
00:45:59around here in the box now no balls in a strike
00:46:05typically the outfield defense will play a little bit deeper just to keep the ball in front make sure that
00:46:11runner on first doesn't come all the way around the score brings it in for the third out one left
00:46:17for Tampa they trail it 5-4
00:46:24back here at Tropicana field this offense has lifted them to a lead with plenty of hits so far in
00:46:31this one as we look at the spray chart
00:46:32yeah it looks like they've been spreading it out pretty well in this one Boogs spraying the ball all over
00:46:37the yard good team effort at the dish
00:46:40well it's the lead off batter as he looks at ball one
00:46:48ball down low
00:47:02that one misses
00:47:03and the count is 3-1
00:47:11tap foul at the plate
00:47:16swings through that one it's a strikeout
00:47:18tough night at the dish
00:47:20punching out for the third time right there
00:47:22just hasn't looked very comfortable at the plate
00:47:24a little unsure of his timing right now
00:47:27not picking up the spin and location of these pitches
00:47:30he'll have some adjustments to make
00:47:34try to put his way on
00:47:36good foul ball
00:47:41the 0-1
00:47:43right through there for a strike
00:47:51foul ball it stays nothing in two
00:47:56gets a piece there we'll do it again
00:48:01the 0-2
00:48:04swing and a ground ball
00:48:05and foul ball
00:48:10here's the 0-2
00:48:12strike three and that's two in a row
00:48:14well when you commit to throwing an inside fastball to your glove side across the strike zone
00:48:19especially with two strikes
00:48:20if you're going to miss
00:48:21you want to miss off the plate
00:48:23and you do not want to leave it out of the plate
00:48:26so that was excellent execution on that pitch
00:48:29really tied him up and he couldn't get a piece at all
00:48:33two down nobody on and we're in the top of the eighth
00:48:45strike him out swinging
00:48:47and he strikes out the side in the eighth
00:48:51it's the Yankees five the Rays four
00:48:58welcome back as we take a check of the current standings
00:49:01third baseman
00:49:02junior
00:49:03camonero
00:49:22close but called a ball
00:49:24and that's ball one
00:49:43hard hit right side
00:49:46fires over to first
00:49:48and a key out leading off the bottom of the eighth
00:49:51that play won't be trending on social media later on
00:49:54but it's still important to execute it to perfection
00:49:57this game is a lot harder than it looks partner
00:50:00now here is Johnny DeLuca
00:50:02corner infielders guarding the lines
00:50:04trying to prevent extra bases
00:50:06that one finds the zone
00:50:08that strike one
00:50:10the Yanks trying to hold a one run lead
00:50:13here the bottom half of the eighth inning
00:50:30out towards right center field
00:50:34and a base hit
00:50:35ground first digging for two
00:50:37throws to second
00:50:38and he's out
00:50:39trying for two
00:50:40got a lot of hustle
00:50:42and the attitude there to try to stretch that single
00:50:45into a double but unfortunately thrown out at second base
00:50:48he was so close to being in scoring position
00:50:51next to hit Cedric Mullins
00:50:53that one ripped left field
00:50:56that's back there
00:50:57going
00:50:58down
00:51:02Cedric Mullins goes the other way
00:51:04and we are starting over
00:51:06that swing completely changes the momentum of this game boot
00:51:25that's the exact definition of hitting the ball where it's pitched
00:51:28taking that outside fastball and driving it the opposite way out of the ballpark
00:51:33you want to bottle that type of approach
00:51:36so it's all tied up thanks to the home run
00:51:39Yandy Diaz
00:51:40getting ready to hit
00:51:43no that's up
00:52:00on the ground to third
00:52:02just foul
00:52:03and it goes just foul
00:52:05Bednar
00:52:06a former all-star
00:52:07he features a foreseen fastball
00:52:09a curb
00:52:10and occasionally works in a splitter
00:52:12in the air right field
00:52:16and that'll do it
00:52:19but this clutch home run gets us even again
00:52:22ninth inning coming up
00:52:24you're watching Major League Baseball on the show
00:52:31we're back
00:52:31it's the top of the ninth
00:52:32and there's a new pitcher on the mound
00:52:34Garrett Clevenger
00:52:35left-handed batter at the plate
00:52:37and he's been excellent in those matchups this year
00:52:40so this seems like a calculated move
00:52:43Grisham
00:52:43the lead off batter
00:52:44as he looks at ball one
00:52:49in there for a strike at the bottom of the zone
00:52:56and a count one and two
00:53:04stays alive
00:53:09but one two
00:53:19ground ball left side
00:53:21down the line
00:53:22and it's foul
00:53:25comes a 2-2
00:53:27battling here as he fouls it away
00:53:32here's the 2-2
00:53:35swing
00:53:36and a miss
00:53:37struck him out
00:53:38and a strikeout for the first out here in the ninth
00:53:42here's Judge now
00:53:43known for his late-inning heroics
00:53:55line drive
00:53:57and a face hit
00:53:58and a go-ahead run is on base
00:54:02he made that look easy
00:54:03keeping his bat in the zone on playing for a long time
00:54:07that leads to a high contact rate and more barrels boo
00:54:10even when you don't get it great
00:54:12it's still hitting hard enough to dunk something in like that in front of the center fielder
00:54:17Ben Rice stepping in now for the Yankees
00:54:22that's in there
00:54:23and that is strike one
00:54:28this one chopped on the ground but foul
00:54:35ground ball to the right side
00:54:36but that rolls foul
00:54:41and he'll shoot
00:54:44got him swinging for the strikeout
00:54:51go ahead run on base
00:54:53Jazz Chisholm Jr. will hit next
00:54:58to the right side
00:54:59and a base hit
00:55:03they stopped the lead runner at second
00:55:05now two on with two outs
00:55:07having himself a really nice game at the plate
00:55:09had a huge opportunity now to grab the lead at this point in the game
00:55:14Bellinger up to hit
00:55:18first pitch swinging
00:55:24and that one is downstairs
00:55:26and one and one
00:55:32that's a strike and he inches closer to getting out of the jam
00:55:38line drive base hit
00:55:40headed for the plate
00:55:42here comes the throw
00:55:43save
00:55:44in comes the run from second
00:55:47and it's 6-5
00:55:48well he delivers in a huge spot right there
00:55:52well he's so dialed in
00:55:54I don't think he even realizes
00:55:55how much pressure exists out there
00:55:58very easy swing
00:55:59nice and relaxed
00:56:01this is the type of approach you want to see guys take in this situation
00:56:04Goldie the next day it takes low for a ball
00:56:07and another ball
00:56:09it's getting squeezed a little bit here late
00:56:11crowd locked in right now
00:56:14one run game here in the ninth
00:56:16ground ball the middle that's a base hit
00:56:18jazz on his horse coming around third
00:56:21one run is in
00:56:22now the throw comes in
00:56:24runner holds it third
00:56:25got the job done to put him up by two
00:56:27once you get the ball by the pitcher
00:56:29there's a lot of base hits up the middle
00:56:31even on ground balls
00:56:32so a nice job to use that big hole and get himself a hit
00:56:35well in now
00:56:37takes ball one off the plate
00:56:42swing and a miss
00:56:44said a tough day at the plate
00:56:45three strikeouts already
00:56:46it's hard not to think
00:56:48line drive that's a base hit
00:56:51Bellinger is in to score
00:56:53now the throw comes in
00:56:54runner holds it third
00:56:57big at bat to pad their lead up to three
00:57:00that pretty much split the zone down the middle
00:57:02and those are the ones where you got to make them pay
00:57:07Caballero in the box now
00:57:08take strike one
00:57:10the Yankees trying to break this one open
00:57:13you're the top of the ninth
00:57:14this has been a rough inning but sometimes
00:57:17just got to work through it
00:57:18save the rest of that bullpen
00:57:20somehow stop the bleeding
00:57:22over to Diaz
00:57:23and that is that
00:57:26they strike for three runs on five hits
00:57:28no errors and a couple left on
00:57:31bottom part of the order
00:57:34welcome back and here comes the closer
00:57:36Dennis Santana
00:57:37I think closer has to be one of the toughest jobs
00:57:40in baseball and we see a pretty high turnover rate
00:57:43because of it every outing seems to be high pressure
00:57:47this one included we'll see if he can wrap up the win
00:57:50and get himself a save
00:57:53ball inside
00:58:03what a stop
00:58:05throw to first
00:58:06nicely done for the out
00:58:07couple of pitches and a quick out
00:58:09for the race
00:58:12digging in
00:58:13Blake Sable
00:58:14one for three
00:58:23and the first pitch misses for ball one
00:58:26and now a little barking back towards the umpire
00:58:29clearly thought he got that outside corner on
00:58:31what was a pretty big pitch
00:58:33sometimes that only makes it worse for you moving forward
00:58:35but it can also open up that location in the future
00:58:38if the umpire thinks there's a chance that he missed it
00:58:43the Yanks trying to close out a three run lead
00:58:46we're in the last half of the ninth inning
00:58:50gets him to chase after that one
00:58:52clearly is sitting on a fastball right there
00:58:55and just ended up out in front of the slider
00:58:57hey you can't fault him for his commitment
00:58:59now he's just gonna have to battle with two strikes
00:59:01swung on popped up on the infield
00:59:05Caballero takes it in for the out
00:59:07two down
00:59:08good hard fastball up in the zone right there
00:59:11they look really good coming in
00:59:12but so hard to get on top of as a hitter
00:59:15last chance for the Rays
00:59:17and stepping in for the Rays
00:59:19Yadr Aranamo
00:59:21this to center field
00:59:24he's got it
00:59:25ball game
00:59:26the Yankees make it six straight victories
00:59:31but with this sixth win in a row
00:59:33all of a sudden
00:59:34you start to look around
00:59:35up and down a line up to your left to your right
00:59:37as a player and you say you know what we're good
00:59:40we may have had some tough times earlier on
00:59:41but this is a good team and you start to expect
00:59:44this kind of play out of yourselves
00:59:46we'll see if this translates into
00:59:47a longer winning streak than it is right now
00:59:49and this one ends
00:59:51with the score eight to five
00:59:53for Chris Singleton and our entire crew
