00:01On the hill tonight for the Giants will be the rookie left-hander, Kyle Harrison.
00:04Harrison, 6'2", 200-pounder, 7-6 on the air with a 4-2-2 ERA.
00:09This is start number 24.
00:10Look at the strikeouts, 115 against 41 walks.
00:14Up the middle and a base hit, and that's how this game gets started.
00:16That's a good start getting Perdomo on now for Carroll.
00:19And the pitch is swung on.
00:20That's a base hit into right field down the line, and Carroll can really motor.
00:24Perdomo is going to be held at third.
00:26Carroll will stop at second in September, off to a great start.
00:30That is a double.
00:31And the D-backs have second and third.
00:33Nobody out for Josh Bell.
00:35Gets it to shortstop for Fitzgerald.
00:37Perdomo comes home.
00:38Corbin stays put, and the Diamondbacks score first.
00:41Unfortunately, Corbin had to stick at second base as that ball was hit right in front of him,
00:45so he had to retreat back to second.
00:47Here comes Christian Walker.
00:49Sight for sore eyes and sore obliques.
00:52Activated from the injured list today.
00:53He's been out since July 29th.
00:55So, let's hope that oblique is better.
00:57Two and two the count.
00:58Here it is.
00:59Swing and a miss.
01:00He struck him out.
01:01A fastball away.
01:02So, Walker may be showing signs of the rust of the layoff.
01:06Now, here is Randall Gritchick.
01:08And Gritchick smokes it to center.
01:09It backs up McCray.
01:11Still backing up to the wall.
01:13And it's gone.
01:15Randall Gritchick makes it three-zip Diamondbacks.
01:18He just hammered a mistake pitch.
01:20A fastball almost in the exact same place right down the middle of the plate.
01:26And he got this ball elevated and just sent it out of here.
01:29Fouled off a bunch of two-strike pitches and got that one.
01:33Hard ground ball to first.
01:34Right to Wade.
01:35He's got it.
01:36Takes it to the bag.
01:37Inning over.
01:38But it's a three-run rally for the D-backs.
01:42It's an early three-nothing lead for Ryan Nelson, who opens the three-game set in San Francisco.
01:47He is unbeaten over the last two months.
01:49And he has pitched this outstanding baseball.
01:51You can almost classify him as the ace of the staff right now, the way he's throwing.
01:55Not the way Nelson wants to start right there.
01:57You get three runs in the top of the first inning.
02:00You want to come out.
02:01You want to shut the team down.
02:03Obviously, you want to put up a zero.
02:04But free base runners are the last thing you want to do, especially with Fitzgerald coming up,
02:09who has really swung the bat ever since he got to the big leagues.
02:12Kistrzemski getting a short lead.
02:13The pitch.
02:14Line drive down the right field line.
02:16And fair ball hits on the point of that angled sidewall.
02:21Ricochets to the right fielder Carroll.
02:22Coming around third, Kistrzemski, and he'll be held there.
02:25Good two-strike hitting there by Tyler Fitzgerald.
02:28What's that?
02:28Probably the fourth or fifth opposite field hit he's had in the last week or so.
02:32I think that's a good sign of progress for him.
02:35Ramos drives one to right.
02:37Tagging is Kistrzemski.
02:39And the Giants are on the board.
02:40That was a bullet.
02:41That's a good situation with bat with a runner in third and less than two outs.
02:45Three, four, five hitters go down in order.
02:47And we go to the second.
02:48I think now with a two-run lead, I just want this team to stay aggressive.
02:52Yeah, I agree.
02:53There goes Barossa.
02:54The throw from Bailey.
02:55Little sidearm throw gets into center.
02:57And Barossa stays at second.
02:59Got his first major league stolen base.
03:01Jorge Barossa.
03:02Two and one on Perdomo.
03:04And he lines it into center.
03:06Barossa coming around third.
03:08Perdomo two for two.
03:09Here's the throw.
03:11And it's behind Bailey.
03:12Perdomo into second.
03:14And it's four to one Diamondbacks.
03:16Second hit for Perdomo.
03:18Just a line shot.
03:19This is great baseball.
03:20This is a rough error on the center fielder.
03:22It is a good throw.
03:23And I think Bailey just whiffed on it.
03:25Now Corbin Carroll with an RBI chance.
03:27On the outside corner with a fastball.
03:29Strike three call.
03:30Yeah, the inning is over.
03:32Nelson, this is his third start against the Giants this year.
03:35And the prior two combined only had one strikeout.
03:38So already three here tonight.
03:39A good sign.
03:40He's punched out three of the last four.
03:42Two down for Luciano, the second baseman.
03:44Line to first.
03:45And welcome back.
03:46Two-time goal Glover, Christian Walker.
03:49And that'll do it for the Giants here in the second.
03:51It's a one-two-three inning for Nellie.
03:53Diamondbacks threatening.
03:54They already lead 4-1.
03:56They've got two on with two out.
03:58The pitch is bounced toward the middle.
04:01Far to his right goes Luciano.
04:03And he's going to bobble it, drop it, drop it again as he went to pick it up.
04:07He manages to save a run by keeping it close.
04:10Harrison departs with his time for a change.
04:12He's left the bases full with two outs, trailing 4-1.
04:16Now the 1-1 from Beck.
04:17Swung on line drive.
04:18That is going to get down in center field of a set.
04:21Gritchick scores.
04:22Here comes Suarez.
04:23And two more come in on the second hit by Newman.
04:27It's all Diamondbacks in this one as they lead 6-1.
04:30Beck's really throwing the ball since he's come in.
04:32Hit the Newman.
04:33But after that, he's been just lights out.
04:35Hasn't given up a hit since.
04:37Gritchick gets it in the air.
04:39Left field.
04:39There it goes.
04:41Randall Gritchick to the wall.
04:43And it's gone.
04:44He's had another one.
04:46Boy, is he hot.
04:47He had it timed perfectly.
04:49And that ball barely got out of here.
04:51Tell you what, Torrey's putting the right guys on the lineup.
04:54You know, it just speaks to something that's going on with this team the entire year.
04:57They lose Gurriel.
04:5910-day IL.
05:00Calf strain.
05:01Gritchick starts out there.
05:02He's 3-for-3 with two homers.
05:04Every time somebody goes down, that next man up not only fills the spot, but does really well.
05:09Yeah, isn't that amazing?
05:10Bottom of the sixth inning.
05:12Maturation of a potential ace here in Ryan Nelson.
05:14He has been electric.
05:15Ryan Nelson, tell you what, he gets in a two-strike count.
05:19He's just going to throw it right by you.
05:20He's done it all night.
05:21And here is Matt Chapman.
05:23He'll bounce one into deep left center field.
05:26Back and to his right.
05:27And that ball is gone.
05:29Beyond Barossa, the center fielder, and into the Giants bullpen.
05:34And Chapman's got his 22nd home run this year.
05:38Torrey Lavello, slow walk out to the mound.
05:40That's it for Ryan Nelson, who was terrific.
05:43Match to season high, nine strikeouts, and wins six and two-third.
05:47He will leave with a 7-2 lead.
05:50New pitcher for the Diamondbacks.
05:51He has been Mr. Reliable for the D-backs, Ryan Thompson.
05:56Yastrzemski, left-handed, hit it, leads off.
05:58High and deep to left.
06:01Gricic-band.
06:03And order here.
06:04An opposite field home run for Yastrzemski.
06:087-3, Arizona.
06:10Two down with two men on.
06:12A run in.
06:13The pitch.
06:14Swing and a soft liner into center.
06:17It falls.
06:18Bay's hit.
06:20Coming around third is Ramos.
06:21He scores.
06:22And then the throw at the third gets away and goes over to the side wall.
06:27You have the Giants on deck circle, and the other runners advance.
06:30And with just a three-run lead, the Giants have two in scoring position for Patrick Bailey.
06:36Bailey got a sharp single to right his last time.
06:41And now the same thing here could mean a couple of runs, the pitch.
06:44He bunts it up to third base side.
06:46And he scores.
06:47Thompson came off the pitcher's mound, and Lamont Wade Jr. almost became his best play.
06:53So now it is 7-5, Arizona.
06:56And the possible tying runs are on base.
06:59Flip to right.
07:00That's a hit.
07:02Encarnacion scores, and it's 7-6.
07:06Luciano coming up.
07:07He would be the eighth man to hit in the inning.
07:09And Tori Lovello is going to have to pull Ryan Thompson with two outs.
07:13And what is suddenly a 7-5 game.
07:15The D-backs, they bent.
07:17They did not quite break.
07:19They lead by one as we go into the ninth.
07:21Corbin Carroll with a tremendous walking lead.
07:23He has stolen second and now third.
07:26The Giants have all the momentum right now.
07:28Hit that run home from third.
07:29There it is, a base set for Walker.
07:31Welcome back, Christian.
07:32Corbin's home, and it's 8-6.
07:35So one out with Yaz at first.
07:36Here is Elliot Ramos.
07:38Now he lines one down the left field line.
07:40It is hooking.
07:41It is fair.
07:42Coming around is Yastrzemski.
07:44And it's now a one-run game.
07:46He's a strike away.
07:47They have had to walk a high wire.
07:50Giants with four in the eighth.
07:52One home in this ninth.
07:532-2.
07:54Got him!
07:56Jaymark shuts the door.
07:57And the Diamondbacks have a win in the opener here in San Francisco.
08:00They hang on by their chinny-chin-chin.
08:03Bye.
08:03Bye.
08:03Bye.
