00:01Well, they honored the 2014 World Series champions, the Giants, and they all took the field.
00:07And again, this is 10 years, but they're all out of the game now, and they got to hear the
00:10ovation, and it was so loud, and it was so pure, and it was just a subtle reminder of
00:15just what their accomplishment meant to this area, to San Francisco, to Northern California,
00:20to Giants fans all around the world.
00:21Logan Webb on the hill today for the Giants, the 6'1", 220-pound 27-year-old from Rockland,
00:27in California, in his fifth year at the big league level, 9 and 8, with a 3-4-2 ERA.
00:32And it's hit in the center field, shallow center field.
00:36It's going to be Fitzgerald, and that's how this game gets started.
00:41Bounces this one, to Canada, to Webb, two down.
00:48Got him, and that'll end the inning.
00:50I think swung at every one but just one pitch in that inning, so we see their plan is to
00:54go after him right away.
00:55No score here in the bottom of the first.
00:57Alex Fajardo, solid season, and you and I, big, firm believers,
01:02that this 28-year-old from Tampa, Florida, they're still upside in this right arm.
01:07And a leadoff walk.
01:10Back-to-back walk.
01:12Got it.
01:13Went to the slider.
01:14Got the big swing and miss.
01:16Chapman takes the walk, and the bases are loaded.
01:19And here comes Patrick Bailey with one out.
01:21Will pop up.
01:23A big second out, and everybody has to hold.
01:28Swing and a line drive, left field.
01:30Badu coming in, makes the catch, and Fajardo gets out of it.
01:34Three walks in the first inning for Alex Fajardo.
01:36Does not allow a run.
01:37We're on to the second here at Oracle Park.
01:40Top of the order for the Tigers here in the fourth inning.
01:42Giants nothing, Tigers nothing.
01:43Badu popped out in the first.
01:45This one deflects off of Webb, and the first hit of the day will be an infield single for Akil
01:51Badu.
01:51It's just a reaction.
01:53That's all you're geared for.
01:55Patrick Fitzgerald right there going, I would have had that.
01:59Got him.
02:00Just carved him up, got it, the 0-2 advantage, and then started that slider.
02:03Gives you an idea of how quick that thing's breaking him.
02:06He committed to it, missed it by a bunch.
02:07Urshela hits a fly ball, right center.
02:09Ramos angling back into his left, and the ball carried pretty well.
02:13He'll make the over-the-shoulder grab for out number three.
02:17One infield hit, no run.
02:20Top of the fifth, no score.
02:21Brings up Parker Meadows, always a triple candidate.
02:24Parker steps up to the plate.
02:25He's got a pair of them this season.
02:26Line drive to the gap in right center.
02:28That's going to get down, and that's triple territory.
02:31Parker Meadows flying around second, heading to third, and he's going to make it without a throw.
02:37That's what we've been seeing a lot of from Parker Meadows, just line drives everywhere
02:42and with something behind it.
02:43How about that on cue?
02:45You can keep...
02:46Spoke it into existence.
02:47I mean, you need to keep...
02:48Can we do some bigger things at Homer here and there?
02:50My goodness.
02:51Dylan Dingler struck out on a slider first time up.
02:54Soft ground ball up the middle.
02:55Meadows coming home.
02:56Throw to the plate.
02:57Not in time.
02:57That's why you run the contact play with guys like Parker Meadows.
03:01Meadows scores, and it's 1-0 Tigers here in the fifth inning.
03:04Yeah, contact play was on with one out here in the fifth inning.
03:08A.J. likes the contact play.
03:10Dingler puts that ball into play.
03:11The key to that was two things.
03:12Number one, Parker Meadows was able to get a good secondary lead down the line.
03:16The second was the ball took Fitzgerald up the middle, making that throwboard difficult.
03:21Home half of the fifth here at Oracle.
03:23Park Tigers won Giants nothing.
03:25They're trailing one to nothing, and Mike Jastrzemski hits a line drive just out of the reach.
03:29A second baseman, Colt Keith, ranging off to his left.
03:34He made a jump for it, but it was over him.
03:36And Yaz, first ball swinging, gets the Giants' first hit of the game.
03:38So Yaz is aboard, and here is Encarnacion.
03:42Line drive, base hit.
03:45Yaz is going to go.
03:46Here's the throw.
03:47It's offline, and with that, Encarnacion in the second.
03:52Just a bad play or a bad throw, one or the other.
03:55So now runners at second and third, and here is Wisely.
03:58This is a spot where Wisely likes to bunt.
04:01Instead, he's got a base hit down the line.
04:04One run scores.
04:07Encarnacion scores wisely with a double.
04:10And just like that, the Giants take the lead.
04:14He wasn't waiting around.
04:15A match, lefty on lefty.
04:17Again, it didn't first pitch, hanging, breaking ball, and Wisely was sitting on it.
04:20And you can't tell me that, and that is that he wasn't looking for it.
04:23Here now is Rommel.
04:24Up to middle.
04:26And a base hit, and here comes Wisely.
04:31And the Giants took up another run.
04:34With the right-handed hitter up there with some impressive power numbers, the shortstop, Baez,
04:39was swung over a few steps to his right, closer to third base.
04:45He just didn't have time to get to it.
04:46Well, Lembs got the lead.
04:48It's 3-1.
04:48Two away for Justin Henry Molloy.
04:51And this one's going to go to the gap because he didn't get it down.
04:54How about that?
04:56Justin Henry Molloy will motor around second and pull up there.
05:00He got a slider that was supposed to be in the dirt.
05:02It was out over the plate, and to his credit, he crushed it.
05:05Molloy at second.
05:06Urshela at first.
05:07Geo represents the game-tying run.
05:10And...
05:11And...
05:11...puts it away!
05:14Right in his back pocket.
05:16Starting to sprint back, timing his leap while sprinting,
05:21and went as high as he could go,
05:23and made the spectacular catch to end the inning,
05:27and he robbed Madras of an RBI hit.
05:3159th appearance of the year for Tyler Rogers.
05:342-4 with a 3-0-4 ERA.
05:37Gannon's got it.
05:38From his age, he got him!
05:41That's the play of the day.
05:42You know, you think of Mark Gannon, you think outfielder.
05:45We, you know, he's a very good outfielder.
05:47Well, he learned first base,
05:48and the quickness that he had on his first step in the outfield
05:51plays very well in the infield here.
05:54He slows it down,
05:55and just from almost a prone position,
05:58he throws a perfect strike.
06:03Chapman...
06:04Got him!
06:05By the Lord.
06:07That's the play of the day.
06:10Well, what's coming up next?
06:12It was like he robbed Keith two different ways there.
06:15He somehow managed to spear on the backhand side that bullet,
06:19and then while he was sprawled out on the ground,
06:22he quickly spun around and got to his feet
06:24and then threw a strike at about 98 miles an hour.
06:27Sometimes, as a pitcher, you're in awe of the guys playing behind you,
06:31and I think it's happening at Tyler Rodgers.
06:32He struck him out swinging anyway.
06:35The sinker at the knees,
06:37down the middle.
06:38Three up, three down,
06:39with some spectacular defense
06:42on both corners of the infield from the Giants.
06:453-1 Giants as we go to the bottom of the eighth inning.
06:47And then, sharply on the ground and under Urshela.
06:52Bailey with a wide turn, and he's aboard.
06:55So here's Mike Jastrzemski.
06:59Slashes one the other way.
07:02That's the Mike Jastrzemski we know.
07:04Well, that would go to left field against a left-headed pitcher.
07:07Well, Brett Wisely, now you've got two runners in scoring position.
07:10Swing and a miss.
07:11He got him on the cutter.
07:13So Wentz works around a single and an error,
07:16and he does not allow a run.
07:17Sends this game to the ninth.
07:18Top of the ninth, Giants are leading 3-1,
07:20and Ryan Walker comes in.
07:22Pierce, number 60 out of the year for Walker.
07:24It's all a four-pitch walk.
07:26And then, just like that,
07:27the Tigers get the tie-in run of the batter's box.
07:29Abibay is the Tigers' last hope.
07:31Got him!
07:32And that's the ballgame.
07:34So the Giants behind Logan Webb
07:36and one inning,
07:38where they had four hits in the inning,
07:41three in a row,
07:42come up with three runs,
07:44and it's enough.
07:45They take another tight, tense game from the Tigers.
07:48It was 3-2 final last night
07:50and a 3-1 victory
07:52back of their ace, Logan Webb,
07:54who again was sensational
07:57for the Giants here today.
07:58And Ryan Walker gets the save
08:00his first day as the closer.
08:03We'll see you next time.
