00:01and that is the lineup that
00:02Lewinder Avila faces he makes his
00:0410th start of the season his
00:06ninth since joining the Royals
00:07rotation in early June Ramos
00:10Eldridge and Schmidt coming up
00:12for the San Francisco Giants he
00:15drills Ramos that's part of your
00:19scouting report on him is he can
00:20be very erratic yeah that was a
00:22good demonstration of that as as
00:25you said it 2-2 pitch Eldridge
00:28swings it's a soft line drive
00:29out into shallow left a base hit
00:31Eldridge's first hit of the series
00:33Ramos stops at second and the
00:36Giants have two on with nobody out
00:38Giants third baseman he hits right
00:41handed he gets jammed it's a little
00:43pop-up this one is going to be
00:45gloved by Lofkin so good pitch there
00:49by Avila he jammed Casey Schmidt so
00:53runners first and second one out
00:55up comes Devers on the ground a
00:57second could be two there's the
00:59flip to Tolbert really the first in
01:01time ending ending double play two on
01:04nobody out Avila gets out of it
01:06unscathed Royals missing their top
01:08player Bobby Witt jr probably is not
01:10going to play either tonight or
01:12tomorrow Jensen Thomas moves into that
01:14two-spot Caglione with his huge power
01:17could be some history this week for
01:18Salvi Perez Tyler Malley on the season a
01:21look at the numbers two and eight with a
01:22five three one seventy eight innings
01:24seventy three strikeouts the thirty two
01:26walks and twelve home runs allowed on the
01:29ground costs over to his left Devers was
01:32ranging way away from first so it's Malley who
01:36does a good job of hustling over to cover
01:38center field Gilbert in the sunshine two down that
01:44one line to first knocked down by Devers and he's
01:47going to run himself to the bag and just get there in
01:50time there's a lot going on on that play that was a
01:53great play by Devers well done well you
01:56had Thomas church stop his first up against
01:59Bobby law and down this went around strike
02:01three so Avila's got his first K tonight and
02:04Avila ties him up what a nasty fastball that
02:06was here's a ground ball third to his left
02:09goes Lofton across to Vinny and that retires
02:14inside all eyes on Salvador Perez and that
02:17includes his family here tonight to
02:20potentially witness history Salvi homered
02:22yesterday the three hundred and sixteenth in his
02:25big league career and now just one shy of tying
02:28George Brett's franchise record of three
02:30hundred and seventeen home runs to two he went
02:34around strike three there's Malley's first
02:36strikeout three two got him with a high
02:38fastball ninety five to boot and that is Tyler
02:42Malley the rest is starting to cook and
02:45Starling Marte has seen him plenty and has good
02:47numbers against him and there's another hit for
02:51Starling Marte against Malley the first time in
02:54the lineup first time in a game for Starling
02:56Marte in twelve days and he's got a first A.B.
03:00single Massey slaps a fastball the other way a
03:02base hit into the corner Marte pumps on the
03:05brakes Ramos throws behind him well heck of a
03:08heck of a job hitting by Michael Massey so now
03:10last night's hero Nick Lofton who had the
03:13squeeze bunt which those of you scoring along with
03:17the season was originally ruled a hit it has
03:19since been changed to a sacrifice walk off RBI
03:22all the same for Lofton out to right center
03:26Lee will get there and make the catch Royals
03:31threatened but don't score and Malley going at it
03:35so what about ending number three and it begins
03:38with Giants center fielder Drew Gilbert that is a
03:42power sinker and it's three K's for Avila is now
03:45retired six in a row was the walk Giants have a
03:48one out base runner so here's Ramos hit by a pitch
03:51to start the game ground ball right side on one
03:53hop Massey slides he throws the second out to
03:56first double play and that was a really nifty
04:00looking double play because of two plays a sliding
04:04play by Massey on a one hopper to the right side and
04:08then Tolbert who had to receive that throw on a
04:11sprint he had to sprint to the bag and hurry his
04:15throw to Vinny and you can add in Vinny's stretch
04:17I took a trip down memory lane with Carter
04:19Jensen this afternoon on this date back in 2021
04:22Carter Jensen signed his first Royals contract
04:25which is pretty hard to believe it was hard for
04:27Carter to even believe when I asked him this
04:29one's fair and this one's deep long run for
04:32Gilbert and Lee there at a room that ball's
04:35gone solo shot Carter Jensen and the Royals
04:39have a one nothing lead Danny was telling you
04:41about the wind and Carter received no help
04:44from the wind at all he hit it very high and
04:48the wind was knocking it down and it just
04:50barely cleared the wall three hits for the
04:52Royals tonight including Carter Jensen's solo
04:55home run and now he's back behind the dish
04:57catching the winder Avila Jensen challenges can
05:00he flip a walk can he flip a walk into a
05:03strikeout a good challenge appears to be a
05:05strike exploding two-seam sinker from Avila
05:09and caught all kinds of dish so Jensen's got a
05:13homer and they give him some sort of credit for the
05:16pitch pitch to Devers is swung on and hit in the air
05:19left field deep but playable for Marte who's right on the
05:23edge of the track and he's got it another chance for
05:26Salvador Perez to tie George Brett on the home run
05:29list and he rolls to short and down this makes the
05:33play and Salvi's out he's 0 for two tonight swing and a
05:37line drive base hit right field in between first and
05:40second and Benny's on with one out he has reached base in
05:4316 consecutive games first pitch swing Massey out to
05:48Gilbert again out number three so a single for the
05:54Royals no runs we go to the fifth in Kansas City going to
05:57the pitch and a swing and a miss and he struck him out he
06:00blew it by him at ninety nine and now it's rookie Jesus
06:03Rodriguez the right-handed hitting catcher tonight called
06:06up for a second time this year as he swings and hits a fly
06:10ball to right shallow Caglione racing in towards the line
06:13he dives and he's unable to make the catch he traps it
06:17Rodriguez running hard on his way to second and he's in
06:20with a slide just beats the relay throw from the second
06:24baseman Massey a hustle double from Jesus Rodriguez and the
06:29tying run in scoring position now so that is the first
06:32Giants hit since the first inning only their second hit of the
06:35game and it gives Gilbert a shot here to tie the game he rips
06:40that one and pass the dive of the second baseman into right
06:42field here comes Rodriguez against that strong arm to throw
06:45he slides it safely so Rodriguez uses his speed Gilbert with
06:50the base hit and the Giants have tied this game and that is
06:54some big clutch two-strike hitting right there from Drew
06:57Gilbert but all of this is Jesus Rodriguez hustle he hustled for
07:01double hustle and challenged Jack Caglione now Koss loops one into
07:06left center that's going to get down for a hit Gilbert keeps going and
07:10he'll make it around to third so Christian Koss is on for the second
07:14straight time at two great at bats from Christian Koss gets it a rare
07:18opportunity a walk and a knock and the two-out lightning and the two-out
07:22threat continues and Elliott Ramos who's been hit by a pitch and grounded into a
07:27double play in this game will stand in for a third time to face Lewinder one-two
07:32pitch Ramos swings and grounds it right to short yielding the hop is Tolbert in his
07:37throat a second gets by Massey and rolls into shallow right the go-ahead run scores
07:43Gilbert comes across Koss gets up he'll move into third with Ramos staying put at
07:51first more good base running Christian Koss might have beaten that anyway he was
07:56good second he was gonna Joe he had that big lead at first he was busting it to
08:00second base he went head first diving into second he would have been safe good
08:04base running good hustle by the Giants here this whole inning that's what I'm
08:08talking about there are some defensive changes Isaac Collins is now into the game
08:12to play left field Starling Marte moves to right field and Jack Caglione has exited
08:18tonight's game he did make that diving attempt on the Jesus Rodriguez blue double
08:23back in the fifth meanwhile Avila gets Casey Schmidt and that is a career best
08:28five and a third now for Avila and the pitch is swung on hit in the air shallow
08:33center out goes Massey and he's got it Michael Massey ran a mile out into center
08:39field to make the catch to give Louinder Avila a career high six innings and up and
08:46away ball four for a lead off walk so here's Salvi still one home run shy of tying George Brett's
08:53all-time record of three hundred seventeen he is 0 for 2 tonight and he hit him on the hand
09:00that is the last
09:01thing that you want to see I think Salvi took exception to it because the pitch before was up and
09:06in
09:07so the major point backs it right back up same location but another foot inside we've got a meeting over
09:15at first base we've got a Giants meeting on the pitcher's mound and that's going to be the end of
09:22the night for Tyler Malley so
09:24Hentges will come in Hentges last pitched two days ago the finale in Seattle and it's left
09:31on left Hentges against Vinny Pasquantino and Hentges has been tough this year up the middle and through a base
09:38hit here comes Collins and this game is tied at two
09:42Vinny Pasquantino comes through against the lefty Sam Hentges and he's fired up about it rightfully so
09:49Vinny Pasquantino's taking a lot of responsibility for the offensive struggles early on in the season always accountable you've seen
09:55him start to swing a hotter bat recently this is a big at bat against a tough left handed pitcher
10:00ties the ball game up Royals have a couple of right hand batters coming up and here comes Tony Vitello
10:07and he's going to bring in right hander Keaton Wynn the Royals have tied the game in the bottom of
10:12the six but they have the bases loaded with one out Nick Lofton's coming up Lofton is one for two
10:17tonight with a single to left
10:19How about through the left side a base hit through the hole Salvi's in that gives the Royals the lead
10:24Nick Lofton comes through with the bases loaded again so the inning began with the starter Tyler Malley walking a
10:33batter and hitting a batter and now both of those base runners have come around to score the official score
10:38is going to give Collins an infield single and here is Salvador Perez and good news for the Royals and
10:44he's batting right here because he was hit on the left wrist his last time up
10:48runner goes 3-2 a swing and a miss the throw to second on a hop he is safe
10:53they do get the out on Perez he strikes out Collins steals second
10:58so two down with a runner in scoring position for Vinny Pasquantino Vinny has two hits tonight including a game
11:04tying single in the sixth and the Giants are going to put him on with an open base and pitch
11:10to right hand hitting Starling Marte
11:121-0 pitch a swing a sharp ground ball to third sliding to his left Schmitz got it jumps to
11:17his feet and throws to first for the out another stellar play at third from Casey Schmitz that was a
11:25smash on the ground the sliding stop and then a perfect throw to get Marte by Plunny
11:33so here we are in the ninth inning the Royals lead 3-2 and Alex Lang comes in to pitch
11:39and this guy who's coming to the plate right now
11:41Willie Adamas in an opposite field home run that came right after a single by Lee who failed to protect
11:51the two run lead last night and now here is Adamas
11:55and he struck him out revenge is a dish best served with a changeup absolutely learn your lesson last night
12:04good fastball to perfect location so let's switch it up what an at bat Lee after falling behind able to
12:10work the walk and the tying run is on here in the ninth inning for the Giants it's going to
12:15be Jesus Rodriguez out of the Giants dugout and it's going to be McCray that will run for Lee over
12:22at first
12:23the pitch swung on and missed so down goes Rodriguez two strikeouts in the inning for Alex Lang so here
12:32we are we have arrived at the crossroad Gilbert knocked in a run with a single in the fifth inning
12:38that's sandwiched in between a couple of strikeouts in this game he's one for three the Giants look for some
12:44ninth inning heroics the second night in a row here against the Royals closer Alex Lang
12:49McCray takes off Gilbert slaps it to left Collins comes in he's got it Royals win a second straight one
