00:24From inside Tropicana Field in Tampa Bay.
00:28Today, the finale of this three-game weekend set.
00:30It's the Seattle Mariners taking on the Tampa Bay Rays.
00:37First pitch coming your way next.
00:44And starting on the mound for the Rays, Drew Rasmussen.
00:48And Zingy, he likes pitching at home.
00:51Well, truly for him, there is no place like home.
00:54He's been so dominant here.
00:55And as a teammate, you expect him when pitching at home this year
00:59to go out and dominate just as he has.
01:02The fans expect it.
01:03And I think everyone around here knows that he's a good pitcher.
01:05Even though we don't see the same splits on the road,
01:08we're going to start to see that translate as well.
01:10Almost got him.
01:20Lined into right.
01:23Then there's one down.
01:28Take a look at the lineup.
01:30And Zingy, you have to think this lefty-heavy lineup is ready to eat in this one
01:34with a righty on the hill.
01:36Eat it is, boob.
01:38So many lefties just feel more confident with a righty pitching,
01:42giving them that little edge.
01:43Doesn't always play out that way in the box score, though.
01:46So we'll see what happens in this game.
01:49Two away.
01:51That was a good pitch to hit right down the heart of the plate.
01:54Had pretty good timing on it.
01:55Just got underneath it a little bit and popped it up.
01:57Two down, base is empty.
01:59In now is the Mariners' DH.
02:02Dominic Canzone.
02:05And he'll one.
02:08Ripped on a line to center.
02:10He's got it, and that'll do it.
02:13We head to the bottom of the first.
02:15No score after a half inning.
02:23Back now in Tampa Bay, on the hill for the Mariners, Ryan Wu.
02:27What do we need to know here about the right-hander?
02:30Very dominant his last time out.
02:32Picked up the win.
02:33Only allowed one run.
02:34These guys would love to see him back on his game in this one.
02:37Leading off, Chandler Simpson.
02:45And today is draft day, singing an exciting day in terms of the future of the sport
02:50and the future of these teams.
02:51It's also changed a lot in terms of the immediacy of finding out.
02:55I mean, what was it?
02:56Carrier Pigeon was how you found out about being drafted back when you were selected, right?
03:02Well, fans today may not realize because we have such exposure on the internet
03:07and network sports and everything else.
03:10You find out right away.
03:11But when I was drafted back in 1993, I maybe found out later in the day,
03:16I was drafted in the morning, that I was drafted by the San Francisco Giants.
03:20So regardless, I think the feeling is the same.
03:23No matter whether you find out right away or you find out a day later,
03:27you're just so excited to have been drafted by a professional baseball team
03:31and have the opportunity to pursue your dream.
03:38Hard grounder into the outfield for a knock.
03:42It's low and gets away.
03:44Doesn't get too far away, so no one moves up.
03:48There's nothing cheap about the way he got that one through the infield.
03:51That was ripped, cut out in front, and didn't get under it like he would have liked,
03:55but definitely put a good swing on.
03:58To the plate now for the Rays is the DH, Junior Camonero,
04:02with four runs driven in on four hits to this point in the series.
04:07And a good fastball to start him off at strike one.
04:10Bell, the best way to shake off yesterday's struggles is to get on the board early.
04:14They've got a guy in scoring position.
04:15They've got to find a way here to get him in.
04:19And now the 0-1.
04:22Little trouble with this one behind the plate.
04:24Safe, but Thurl moves up on the pass ball.
04:37There's a line drive to left field.
04:41Brings it in.
04:42Runner tags from third.
04:44And they strike first as they take a 1-0 lead.
04:48That wasn't your standard sack fly.
04:50He barreled that baseball.
04:52Just couldn't get it to drop in.
04:54One out man at first.
04:55At the plate, Jonathan Arundel.
04:58And Singhi, we already know he's going to finish the season
05:01with a new career high at home runs.
05:07He goes to batting average that ranks top 10 in the league at the moment, Singhi.
05:19Line drive.
05:20And that's got extra bases written all over it.
05:26Round's third.
05:27Headed for the plate.
05:28And they lead by two.
05:31Just so sound in his mechanics.
05:34Hits against a firm front side.
05:35And the hands just continue to carry through the middle of the field.
05:42Now up for Tampa Bay.
05:44Hesung Kim.
05:45One run batted in yesterday.
05:47Their only run of the game.
05:51That one's in there.
05:53Going away.
05:56One out.
05:57A runner at second.
05:58Here in the third and final game of the series.
06:06That one's in there.
06:08That is strike two.
06:09I mean, that's perfect location.
06:10Right on the black.
06:12I mean, over and over again.
06:13This guy demonstrates the ability to hit those spots.
06:16They're so tough to do anything with as a hitter.
06:21Got him.
06:22Two down.
06:26Now a look at Kevin Cash's lineup for the Tampa Bay Rays.
06:30They're dealing with a top-level arm on the mound.
06:33So this figures to be a tough matchup for him.
06:36What's the key to the offense today, Singhi?
06:38Well, Boog, against a talented pitcher, it's crucial to disrupt his rhythm.
06:42Use bunts to get him off the mound and move it around up there.
06:45If he's in a flow, step out and break his timing.
06:49When he throws in the zone, you might only get one pitch.
06:52So you don't want to miss it.
06:57Man at second.
06:59Comes up empty.
07:01That's strike two.
07:12This one's driven.
07:14Deep center field on its way.
07:16Home run.
07:22Cedric Mullins sends it out.
07:25His 12th of the season.
07:27And they add a pair.
07:28It's 4-0.
07:29He hasn't been at his best at the plate these last few games.
07:33So this could end up being an important home run for him.
07:35Maybe it's a sign of more to come.
07:40Anytime you have a pitch down the middle of the plate,
07:43the percentages go up for the hitter to do damage.
07:45Even if it's a pretty good sinker like that one.
07:48Nice piece of hitting there at the plate.
07:54Carson Williams, next to hit for the Rays.
08:01Well, it's not the inning he was planning on to begin this start,
08:04but you've got to find a way to shake things off
08:07and give your team some length and put up some zeros.
08:14Right side, hard hit.
08:17Tosses to first.
08:18That'll end the inning after a lot of scoring.
08:21So they move out in front after a four-run outburst.
08:25We head to the second here at Tropicana.
08:28Back here at Tropicana Field.
08:30New inning getting started.
08:32In this ball game, down by four runs.
08:35You've got to try to get a run back
08:37and just look at taking at least one in inning.
08:39Before you know it, you'll be tied up.
08:42Hey!
08:48Way inside.
08:49Gets out of the way.
08:53And that one pulled foul.
09:00Keeps the in-back going with a foul ball.
09:07Up the middle.
09:08And that chance handled.
09:10Fires over to first.
09:12Lead-off man retired here in the second.
09:16Now the Mariners catcher, Cal Raleigh.
09:23Foul ball there.
09:38Cut on and missed.
09:39Curve ball struck him out.
09:41Got away with that curve ball, no doubt about it.
09:43It passed right through the heart of the strike zone
09:46and he just couldn't get the bat on it.
09:47When you strike out on one like that,
09:50that's when you start having conversations with yourself
09:52and they're not usually very friendly.
09:54Two down, nobody on.
09:56No, that's low.
09:56Just missed.
10:01This to center field.
10:03Mullins in pursuit.
10:05Makes the grab and that'll end the inning.
10:09Mariners are down in order.
10:11They're down four nothing.
10:16We head to the bottom of the second
10:18and stepping in for the raise, Blake Sable.
10:20Blake Sable.
10:25Ball, that's inside.
10:35Line drive, base hit.
10:40Solo level aboard to start the inning.
10:43He needed out one.
10:44It's been a tough stretch at the plate lately.
10:46You'll often hear the phrase short to it, long through it,
10:50and that's a great example of it right there.
10:52Got the barrel in the hitting zone early,
10:54squared it up with the well-timed swing,
10:56and came away with a beautiful line drive in the center field.
10:59Johnny DeLuca in the box now.
11:01No balls and a strike.
11:09Here comes the 0-1.
11:11Way out front for strike two.
11:14Sometimes being lucky is a swing and miss.
11:17If he makes contact with that pitch,
11:19probably hits into a double play.
11:23Out to short,
11:24and that one finds its way through.
11:27And out to a board.
11:34So the raise batting order turns over.
11:37Chandler Simpson getting ready to hit.
11:39He's one of the faster guys just by pure sprint speed in the majors.
11:44And he lays down a bunt.
11:46Has to bare hand it,
11:47but no chance.
11:49That's an infield single.
11:52There's racing down the line,
11:54and probably didn't assume he was going to be safe
11:56until his foot hit the bag and looked up for the umpire.
11:59Nice bunt and great hustle to get himself a knock.
12:04Now, here is Richie Palacios.
12:07And that is in for a strike.
12:09And it's 0-1.
12:18Misses the sweeper.
12:20Action in the pen down there.
12:22Carson Fulmer getting ready to go.
12:24Miller also getting ready.
12:320-2 now.
12:35That one is absolutely belted.
12:38Looks like extra bases.
12:40One runs in.
12:42Now a second crosses the plate.
12:44In to score from first.
12:46It's 7-0.
12:47Man, that's a huge 3-RBI double in a spot where they really needed it.
12:52That pretty much split the zone down the middle,
12:54and those are the ones where you've got to make them pay.
12:59Here comes the skipper out of the dugout,
13:01and he's ready to make the move.
13:03Ryan Wu gives way,
13:04and this is one he'd like to forget.
13:07Back with a new arm after this.
13:17Now pitching for...
13:18So they turn things over to the righty.
13:20Carson Fulmer.
13:21Oh, he's having an excellent season so far.
13:24ERA's under two.
13:26A lot of flexibility coming out of the bullpen.
13:29Now with the plate, Junior Caminero.
13:36No!
13:47And there's a base hitter to the left.
13:49Headed to the plate.
13:52He'll score easily.
13:54It's an RBI single.
13:55It's 8-0.
13:59And at first.
14:00Now here's the Tampa Bay cleanup hitter,
14:03Jonathan Aranda.
14:06Spits the plate,
14:07and that is strike one.
14:16This one ripped,
14:17but foul to the right.
14:29That's a laser face hit.
14:33Throwback in quickly.
14:35First and second.
14:35Now with nobody out.
14:37Up next for the Rays.
14:39Second back end.
14:39That's Sun Kim.
14:40Next to hit for the Rays.
14:42Three-pitch strikeout last time up.
14:44Got to put up more of a fight in this one.
14:48Ball in.
14:48You have to be creative pitching against bad ball hitters.
14:51You got to add some velocity, subtract at times.
14:54Just avoiding the heart of the plate isn't always going to be enough.
14:57Guys like this can hurt you with pitches you wouldn't expect them to swing at.
15:01First and second.
15:02No outs.
15:03Here in the rubber match of this three-game series.
15:09That one fouled off.
15:20Fouls it off.
15:21Still one and two.
15:34Right side.
15:35Base hit.
15:37Doesn't stop.
15:38Heads for home.
15:39Here comes the throw.
15:40And he's out.
15:42Down.
15:42Down.
15:43Down.
15:43Not much you can say here other than you should have listened to your third base coach.
15:46It's tough because we've all seen examples of this working out for players.
15:50But when it doesn't, it's a really bad look.
15:53Now a chance for Cedric Mullins.
15:58Four runs already in the frame.
16:01Bottom half of inning number two.
16:07Line shot into the gap.
16:09She'd score at least one.
16:11Arunda around third.
16:13One run is in.
16:14And in its second with an RBI double.
16:20So next to the plate for Tampa Bay, Carson Williams.
16:24Rolled out to second in his first at bat.
16:29On the ground.
16:32Toss to Naylor.
16:33Now two away as they get a run across.
16:40And stepping in for the Rays.
16:42Blake Sable.
16:43One for one with a single and a run scored so far.
16:52The big six spot already on the board this inning.
16:55Here in the third and final game of the series.
16:59In the air left field.
17:01Barsho drifts towards it.
17:03And that's the inning.
17:06So in the end, ten come to the plate.
17:09Six of them come around to score.
17:11We play two full.
17:12Rays ten.
17:15Welcome back.
17:16Let's take a look at how the series has played out so far.
17:28All every pitcher wants a run support and having a lead is nice.
17:32But it can be challenging for some pitchers.
17:34I think keeping the mindset to attack instead of trying to be too fine and have too much finesse.
17:40Go after hitters and get quick outs.
17:44Here's Victor Robles.
17:58Go to fights it off.
18:02He'll see another.
18:07This one in the air center field.
18:10Mullins under it.
18:12And there's two down.
18:17Leo Rivas.
18:19Up next for the Mariners.
18:23Puts it in the air out towards left center.
18:26Simpson under it.
18:27And that is that.
18:31Nine straight retired here to start the game.
18:34Rays ten.
18:35And the Mariners nothing.
18:38Back now in Tampa Bay.
18:40They put themselves out front with a nice display at the plate.
18:44Take a look at the spray chart for where their hits have landed.
18:46Yeah, it looks like they've been spreading it out pretty well in this one, Boogs.
18:50Spraying the ball all over the yard.
18:52Good team effort at the dish.
18:59Well, these rays really impressing me with the quality of their at-bats in this one.
19:03It's been fun getting a chance to see them go to work.
19:05Five of their hits have come from at-bats where they were behind in the count.
19:09So, they're really battling up there.
19:12On the ground to the left.
19:13Knocks it down.
19:15He makes the throw.
19:17But it's not in time.
19:18And the speedy runner is on it first.
19:22Now, the left fielder, Chandler Simpson.
19:25He's two for two.
19:30That's a ball.
19:40The kick in the pitch.
19:42Runner goes.
19:43Strike in there.
19:44Throws.
19:45Sing!
19:50Singy, he definitely showed off the wheels there.
19:53Yeah, and it turned out to be a bang-bang play.
19:56StatCast gives us the data.
19:58And that stolen base wasn't possible without that sprint speed.
20:03Man, it's second.
20:05That one finds the zone.
20:08One and two.
20:08See if he can go upstairs a little bit.
20:10Make sure you miss up and out of the zone since you're heading to count one-two.
20:14Don't miss in the zone, because that's where you can get hurt.
20:17Right back to him on the mound.
20:20On to first.
20:21One gone, bottom of the third inning.
20:23Good fade and sinking action of that changeup.
20:26Got that hitter to roll over.
20:28Richie Velasios.
20:30Now at the plate.
20:37And that's in there at the knees for a strike.
20:40One out and a runner at second here in the last half of the third.
20:48Chopped out towards short.
20:50Rivas.
20:52To first, and he beats it.
20:54Everyone's safe.
20:55Not every base hit is a liner into the gap.
20:57Just like not every strikeout is a perfect slider down and away.
21:01I mean, right there, he just put the ball in play on the ground.
21:04And gave it his all to get down to first for the knock.
21:06Kevin Nero, in the box, lays off for ball one.
21:16On a line, base hit.
21:18Coming home.
21:19He'll score.
21:20It's an RBI single.
21:22It's 11 to nothing.
21:26Two on with one out.
21:28And next will be the cleanup hitter, Jonathan Aranda.
21:33To the right side.
21:34Slides for the stop.
21:36There's one.
21:37What a double play that was.
21:40Inning over.
21:41Three innings complete.
21:42It's the Rays 11 and the Mariners nothing.
21:55Welcome back.
21:56And take a look at some hot hitting in this series as we check out the numbers.
22:07Something I'm noticing in this one is that these hitters are aggressive early in the count.
22:12It makes you wonder if that was talked about in the hitters meeting before this game started.
22:18Swing and a ball.
22:19Ripped right field.
22:20And that one back.
22:21And that one is gone.
22:26He'll take a jog around the bases.
22:29And they're on the scoreboard.
22:31It's 11-1.
22:33Zingy, that's his 50th career homer.
22:3650 might not sound like a huge number, but it's a nice little milestone that a lot of guys don't
22:40get to.
22:50That's exactly the pitch he was looking for.
22:52Crushes it and hits it out of the ballpark.
23:01Here's Josh Naylor.
23:03He's 0 for 1.
23:06That's ripped.
23:07Base hit.
23:11Back-to-back hits.
23:13And they were hit hard.
23:14That play looks routine defensively, but with all of the little nooks, it can get real tricky down in the
23:20corner.
23:21Kept it to a long single.
23:22Nice defensive play.
23:23Kenzone swings through that one as he comes to the plate for the second time today.
23:29Out towards right center.
23:31That's well struck.
23:32That one carrying.
23:34And gone.
23:36A two-run blast.
23:39It's their second home run of the inning.
23:41And they cut into the deficit.
23:44Chris, he's homered in back-to-back games now.
23:47Yep.
23:47Seeing the ball well.
23:48And he's got his timing locked in.
23:50He's looking pretty dangerous at the dish right now.
23:52Well, he put a really nice swing on that one.
23:55And everything was on time.
23:56Took a direct path to the ball.
23:58Excellent extension.
23:59And just drove it out of here.
24:01Nothing better than when the ball jumps off your bat like that.
24:04Varsho.
24:05Batting for the second time.
24:06And that's strike one.
24:11That one pushed foul.
24:12Out of play off to the left.
24:15Nobody out with three runs in already this frame.
24:19Top half of inning number four.
24:21Arunda.
24:22Takes it himself.
24:24And that's the first out.
24:25Nice recovery after giving up the homer.
24:27It's a good recovery, though, after giving up the home run.
24:30Not allowing it to stay in the head, but going to work at the next hitter.
24:34And a tough one at that.
24:36Raleigh in the box here lets that one go for a ball.
24:43The rest of the lineup could learn a thing or two from this at bat right here.
24:47He's been patient, and now he's in the driver's seat with a 2-0 count.
24:51Palacios moving under this one.
24:54Takes it in for the out.
24:59Up next for Seattle, second baseman, Cole Young.
25:09Cole Young up next for the Mariners.
25:12He swings and fouls one off.
25:17Two down, nobody on.
25:19That's through there for a strike.
25:21Oh, a two down.
25:24Ground ball right side, and that's just foul.
25:31Got him swinging.
25:36But two round trippers in this inning.
25:38The long ball was working.
25:40On now to the bottom of the fourth.
25:42This is Rays Baseball on the show, Florida.
25:49Back here at the ballpark, let's check out the latest news from around the league.
25:53Second baseman, Hudson, the kill.
26:03Just missed.
26:05Nope, that's the ball.
26:12Man, he really sells the changeup with that arm action.
26:21In the air to left center, Varshow on his way over.
26:25Pulls it down, and he makes the catch.
26:28Up next for the Rays, center fielder.
26:31Here's the center fielder, Cedric Mullins.
26:34He's already homered in this game.
26:41Ball one.
26:50And he grounds one to the right side.
26:53Toss to Naylor.
26:54Already two gone here in the home fourth.
26:57Up next for the Rays.
26:59Two outs, base is empty.
27:00Carson Williams.
27:02Next, a hit for the Rays.
27:08Hey!
27:18Swing and a ground ball.
27:20Toss to Naylor.
27:22Three up, three down, inning over.
27:24It's the Rays 11 and the Mariners 3.
27:30Welcome back as we take a peek at the starting pitching so far this year.
27:44That one finds the zone, and that's strike one.
27:50On the ground, and that's a fair ball.
27:53And it gets by him.
27:55Around first, heading for two.
27:59And he's in to second with nobody out.
28:03Smash that one through the infield for the knock.
28:05When it's hit that hard, it makes it very tough on the infielders to make any sort of play.
28:11So, man aboard.
28:13Next to hit, Victor Robles.
28:16Ah, ground ball, and that's through the infield.
28:19Round's third, headed for the plate.
28:20Now a long throw home.
28:22Save.
28:23In comes the run from second.
28:25It's 11-4.
28:27Well, apparently he was ready to hit right there.
28:29Not much to this one other than just a willingness to go the other way and put the ball in
28:33play.
28:33That's a team to bat right there.
28:35Nice job of staying back and letting the ball get deep.
28:43That catches the corner.
28:45Well, I didn't like those first two pitches.
28:46Now in an 0-2 hole, he's going to have to battle.
28:48Hope he gets a mistake.
28:50Change the swing.
28:51Appeal to third.
28:52And he couldn't hold back.
28:54He's run up on strikes.
28:56Well, that at-bat seemed to be over as soon as it started.
28:58Three-pitch strikeout.
29:00You've got to be better at the plate right there.
29:01At least to foul something off, extend that at-bat.
29:05Swing and a ground ball.
29:07Kim flips it.
29:08There's one.
29:09To first.
29:10Not in time.
29:12Great effort there.
29:13Up next for Seattle.
29:15First baseman, Josh Naylor.
29:17Now the number two hitter, Josh Naylor.
29:20One for two.
29:24Ball, that's out.
29:27One run across in the frame so far.
29:30And we're at the top of the fifth.
29:32Plays it on a bounce.
29:33And it deflects away.
29:39Up next for Seattle.
29:41The designated hitter, Dominic Canzone.
29:46Aye!
29:52He finds himself in a tough situation early.
29:55Just kind of try to simplify it.
29:56Take a knock the other way if you can.
29:59They get the force.
30:00That ends the inning.
30:02And they limit the damage.
30:04Two men left stranded, but they do push across one.
30:07Last half of the fifth coming up.
30:09It's the Rays 11.
30:12Back now to start the bottom of the fifth and taking over on the mound.
30:15Edward Bizzardo.
30:17And he's been racking up strikeouts at a high rate this year.
30:20Typically at least one in any.
30:22So he'll be tough to get to.
30:24Stepping in, Blake Sable.
30:28Well, these Rays doing a good job of putting the ball into play.
30:32And that makes things more challenging on the defensive side.
30:35Double-digit hits.
30:36And they've done a great job of avoiding the strikeout.
30:39Only one.
30:40Hard hit.
30:41Knocks it down.
30:46Up next, for the Rays, right fielder, Johnny DeLuca.
31:03Outside.
31:04And you know, that strikeout total, only two so far,
31:07really tells you they're not just running into good luck and getting hits to fall.
31:11They're earning those knocks.
31:15Now a pop-up on the infield.
31:18Young.
31:20And there's one down.
31:29Up next, for the Rays, left fielder.
31:32Back to the top of the lineup.
31:33Chandler Simpson.
31:35Next to hit for the Rays.
31:36This guy can absolutely fly.
31:38I think one of the faster players in baseball.
31:45And ball one.
31:46Always tough to turn two on a speedster like this.
31:49It's even harder with him coming out of the left-handed batter's box.
31:51You really need something to hit hard on the ground that they can handle to turn two quickly.
31:56Breaks his bat and pops it up.
31:58And there are two down.
32:01Now batting third baseman, number one.
32:15Ball, that's in.
32:18Sable, the runner at first with two gone.
32:26Swing and a ball lined out towards center.
32:29That is the inning.
32:33So they can't do anything with the leadoff single there.
32:36We're through five.
32:37It's the Rays 11 and the M's four.
32:41We're back with a look at key moments so far in this one.
32:45Step like Fred O'Bank.
32:46Stay in your lane down for a five.
32:48Step, step like four, five.
32:50Keep your cool, won't be no fire.
32:52I'm fresh like water.
32:53No daughter.
32:54Mike to the joke, but I ain't gonna lie.
32:56On my lap like evil genius.
32:58Jump out to change this demon time.
32:59I'ma get it laid back like even Steven.
33:02Don't need a reason.
33:02We on down.
33:03Stand on B-U-S-I-N-E-S-S.
33:06Yes, I'm blessed like him in the gym.
33:08Don't miss SACS me song.
33:10They are not like them.
33:11Let me state my case.
33:12Sprint out the race.
33:13No chase.
33:13I pace.
33:14Just came out of the gate and we're still going to hate him.
33:16They fake team might be fake.
33:18How you know what it'll take?
33:19He ain't been out of space.
33:20Been out of the mixed book.
33:21Trying to hit it bad.
33:22Like me.
33:22And the batter now, Dalton Varshow.
33:25Left fielder, Dalton Varshow.
33:34Drilled out towards left center.
33:36Field.
33:36That's well struck.
33:38That one hops against the fence.
33:41Into second easily with a lead off double.
33:45I'll tell you.
33:46When you smoke a line drive into the gap like that.
33:49I mean, sure.
33:49Home runs are king.
33:50But I feel like nothing makes you feel like a true professional hitter more than a bolt the other way.
33:55Could be a chance here for them to start clawing back into this ballgame.
33:59He gets there with the slide.
34:01Over to first.
34:02Throw is low.
34:03And oh, nearly a great play.
34:06The scoop goes in and out of the glove.
34:09Man, that was a great effort to lunge and pick that one at first.
34:13The throw was way short.
34:14But he almost bailed him out.
34:16Just couldn't get it to stick in the mid.
34:18Cole Young will hit next.
34:21Clips the corner.
34:224-1-1.
34:28Ground ball up the middle.
34:30Kim.
34:30The flip.
34:31One in second.
34:32And that's a double play.
34:34Wow.
34:34They made that double play look so easy.
34:37But it was far from routine.
34:39That's the one thing about big leaguers.
34:40They make tough plays look simple.
34:47Now a pop-up on the infield.
34:51Has room.
34:52And he makes the catch.
34:57One left for Seattle.
34:58They'll need to pick it up.
34:59It's 11-4.
35:04Back here in Tampa Bay.
35:06At the plate now for the Rays is the DH.
35:09Junior Caminero.
35:10Junior Caminero.
35:15Dangerous spot for that slider right there.
35:17Didn't seem to quite finish out front and get that sharp break.
35:20Tell you what.
35:21He doesn't want to throw that pitch again.
35:32On the ground right side.
35:34And he can't come up with it.
35:37Gets off a throw.
35:38He's in there.
35:38Too late.
35:39And the runner is safe.
35:40And the misplay costs him.
35:42Up next for the Rays.
35:44First baseman.
35:45Jonathan Aranda.
35:56Caminero gets his lead at first with nobody out.
36:05Left field.
36:09And he jumps the wall and found territory for an automatic double.
36:13They're cooking with gas, Boo.
36:15Two runners in scoring position with no outs.
36:17And a great chance to keep doing damage with swings like the one we just saw for the automatic double.
36:23Looking to keep it going.
36:25Pass me that popcorn.
36:26So next to the plate for Tampa Bay.
36:29Hesung Kim.
36:30Ball.
36:40The 1-0.
36:43Up the middle.
36:45Rebots.
36:45On the run.
36:46Throw to first.
36:47Run scores.
36:48But a terrific play to get the out.
36:55Up next for the Rays.
36:58Entertick.
37:07Kevin Cash going with a pinch hitter here.
37:09Ryan Valade.
37:11He gets a chance with a runner in scoring position and one gone.
37:25One out the runner at second here in the bottom of the sixth.
37:34Fouled off left side.
37:45So a foul ball makes it one and two.
37:48All sliders so far in this at bat to get ahead in the count and clearly shows there was a
37:53game plan in mind for how to attack him in the box.
37:58Swing and he breaks his bat.
38:00Naylor takes it in for the out.
38:02Two-way down.
38:04Up next for the Rays.
38:06Shortstop Carson Williams.
38:10And here comes the Mariners manager to the mound.
38:13Pitching change coming.
38:14Edward Bazzardo is done.
38:16Daddy's responsible for the runner on second.
38:19So the book isn't closed on him yet.
38:28Now pitching for Seattle.
38:30Jose A.
38:30Ferrer taking over on the mound.
38:33He's done the ball very well overall this season.
38:35He's been really tough to get to.
38:37You see.
38:45ERA and that's where you love to be.
38:49Now Carson Williams right through there for a strike.
38:53Rudder at second.
38:55Two down.
39:03Base hit into the outfield.
39:05Headed to the plate.
39:06The throw in.
39:08And he's out.
39:10Touchdown and that ends the inning.
39:12Well it's pretty difficult to throw a base runner out at the plate with two outs on a base hit
39:16to the outfield.
39:17But an excellent job of coming up with it.
39:19Getting rid of it quickly.
39:20And throwing on the money.
39:22That is great technique from start to finish.
39:25Nice job to end the inning.
39:28Welcome back to the ballpark.
39:30As we check out the current playoff picture.
39:43So the closer summoned from the bullpen.
39:45Brian Baker.
39:47Compared to some days.
39:48This is a pretty low leverage appearance for him.
39:50So it should be fairly free and easy out there.
39:53Still have to keep yourself sharp.
39:55And attack the strike zone.
39:56There's a line drive to left field.
39:59One away.
40:00Really nice job to get your first out of the ball game.
40:04Leo Rivas.
40:05Up next for the Mariners.
40:10The M's with a lot of ground to make up.
40:13Here in the top half of inning number seven.
40:19And that's where the swing.
40:20It's a strikeout.
40:22Up next for Seattle.
40:23Third baseman.
40:24Brendan Donovan.
40:30On the ground right side.
40:33Gets it to first.
40:34That's the third out.
40:37Mariners go down quietly there.
40:39They're in trouble here.
40:40It's 12-4.
40:44Welcome back.
40:45Taking a look at our game summer.
40:47For the rain.
40:48That's your late.
40:50They go.
40:58He's a bullpen arm that keeps the ball in the ballpark.
41:01But obviously, out of the bullpen, you're looking to limit home runs.
41:05Yeah, and that's why he's such a high leverage arm.
41:08Just doesn't matter for him.
41:09He looks at attacking the zone and attacking hitters regardless of the situation.
41:13That gets down for a hit.
41:15Man aboard on the leadoff single.
41:17It's lefty matchup.
41:18Things not going so well.
41:20Up next for the race, right fielder Johnny DeLuca.
41:28In for a strike.
41:290-1.
41:39In the air, right field.
41:42And there's one away.
41:47Up next for the race, lefty matchup.
41:49Back to the top of the order.
41:51Chandler Simpson next to him for the race.
41:54Maybe expecting a bunt here.
41:55Third baseman playing in on the edge of the grass.
42:00Hey.
42:10This one in the air.
42:13Raleigh under it.
42:15Two down.
42:18Now batting third baseman, number one.
42:29Inside just missed.
42:32Sable off of first with two away.
42:38Next offering is foul back.
42:48Swing and a ball driven pretty well out towards left center.
42:52Grabs it on the run.
42:53That is the inning.
42:56They get a leadoff single, but leave them stranded.
42:59We look ahead to inning number eight.
43:01It's the Rays 12 and the M's 4.
43:05Back here at Tropicana Field.
43:07Ready to begin the eighth.
43:09Josh Naylor.
43:10Josh Naylor digs in down.
43:12That's a ball.
43:18Swing and a high fly ball out towards right center field.
43:21Makes the grab on the run.
43:24One up, one down.
43:30Up next for Seattle, the designated hitter, Dominic Penzone.
43:35Ball, that's out.
43:37The Rays up big in this one.
43:39And we're at the top of the eighth.
43:46On the ground, the first.
43:48Arunda takes it to the bag.
43:50Two up, two down here in the top of the eighth.
44:05Now it's Dalton Varshow.
44:07One for three.
44:08One for the Rays.
44:09Now playing in right field, number 17, Jake Rayley.
44:16Hey!
44:23Hammer, base hit.
44:25Joey gets on base and keeps it going.
44:30Up next for Seattle, catcher Cal Raleigh.
44:36Oh, he doesn't get the call.
44:38Ball one.
44:43Hey!
44:56Foul ball left side.
44:57He'll see another.
45:04And down on strikes.
45:06And that is that.
45:07It's the Rays 12 and the M's 4.
45:14Back down.
45:15New pitcher on the mound as we roll into the bottom of the eighth.
45:18Bryce Miller.
45:19Well, he's been hit pretty hard at times this season.
45:21As you see with the big ERA.
45:24So this is an important outing for him to get on the right track.
45:27Three, four, five.
45:28New up for the home team.
45:30Junior Caminero.
45:31Getting ready to hit.
45:33Delivers a pitch in for a strike at 95.
45:42This one popped up.
45:44Young gets under it.
45:47And there's one down.
45:49Up next for the Rays.
45:51First baseman, Jonathan Aranda.
46:02Ah!
46:12To the right side.
46:15And he handles it himself for the out.
46:20Hesung Kip next to hit for the Rays.
46:22Hesung Kip next to hit for the Rays.
46:23Second baseman, Hesung Kip.
46:29Hit hard on the ground to short.
46:32Whips it to first.
46:33And it's a 1-2-3 inning.
46:35It's the Rays 12 and the M's 4.
46:41It's a bit of a blowout now, which gives us a bit more freedom here in the booth.
46:45I'm not sure that's a good thing.
46:47Hesung Kip, were you superstitious as a player?
46:49I'd say a little bit, Dan.
46:51I wouldn't want to admit it, but I think, you know, you have a good game the next day.
46:55You're maybe thinking a little bit when you're putting your spikes on.
46:58Which one did I put on first?
46:59What did I eat?
47:00You know, let me just bring that back into today.
47:03So you weren't superstitious.
47:04You were a little stitious.
47:06Yes, I was medium stitious.
47:11We've got some superstitions up here in the booth.
47:13And she never can say, hey, this game's going really fast early in the ballgame.
47:18Yeah, that is one of the ways that we are capable of putting the jinx on the game.
47:23It's talking about how fast the game is going.
47:26That normally will grind into a screeching halt.
47:29No question.
47:31So, last chance for the Mariners.
47:33Victor Robles up next for the Mariners.
47:37Two down, nobody on.
47:39You're at the top of the ninth.
47:42And foul ball.
47:50That's inside.
47:51Inside, ball two.
47:56And that is out of play.
48:01The Mariners down to their final strike.
48:04Swing and a miss.
48:05That one in the dirt.
48:06And that'll do it.
48:08As they complete the strikeout to end it.
48:12This is why they turn to him to closeout games.
48:15He's so reliable in these spots.
48:17And he just proved it for the 35th time this season.
48:20Nice job getting it done out of the pen.
48:2212-4 is the way this one finishes.
48:25For Chris Singleton and our entire outstanding crew here at MLB The Show, I'm John Shompy.
48:30We'll see you soon.
48:51He's so eager.
48:54I ain't even close to finish, I got money on the other line, I gotta get the call
48:58If you ain't gon' make me better, I don't even get involved
49:01Couple on the close, that's involved, getting duggies with my dogs till it's through the walls
49:06I done drove everything, fits this to me, signs don't do it, arguing, I just throw the peace signs
49:12Meditate for some me time, headed back into the city, I'm on the east side
49:16Real, for real, you think I'm in the Navy, huh?
