00:22from inside Tropicana Field in Tampa Bay two of the best teams in the game square off it's the
00:29Cleveland Guardians taking on the Tampa Bay Rays first pitch coming your way next
00:42and starting on the mound for the Rays Ian Seymour what do you look for here well that whip
00:48is just below the league average and that's a good thing in this case not allowing too many
00:53base runners so on most days he's going to go out there and compete and put his team in a
00:58position
00:59to win and I expect to see that from him in this one today Stephen Kwan leading things off and
01:04takes
01:05a strike at the ball Seymour 27 years old and he was a second round pick in 2020 in the
01:13air to left
01:14center one down
01:20here's the Guardians lineup now this has been a good productive lineup so far this year currently
01:25ranking among the better teams in terms of total hits and runs per game oh Boog this lineup puts
01:32the ball in play and in an era of high strikeouts and big swings increasing contact makes them
01:38dangerous we'll see if this pitcher can get some support from the defense he got away with one there
01:45but he knows he can't go into that spot very often against a guy like this
01:55foul ball it stays nothing in two
01:57foul ball it stays nothing in two
02:03the other way and he beats the shift
02:07so they get a man aboard with a one out single
02:11that third the designated hitter Kyle man Kyle man Sarda digs in for the Guardians
02:19yeah
02:24that one rip but foul
02:33and he'll to fall one
02:40run around the goal stays alive man at first one away
02:49got it and there's two down
02:58runner here's the pitch runner goes strike in there throw to second save
03:05but we all know this team is struggling right now and sometimes you just got to
03:08do something different to generate some offense a little more aggressive right
03:12there to put the pressure on the opponent we'll see if it pays off on the
03:15scoreboard for this team man it's second that one found hard the
03:24other way
03:24going to now base hit right field they're waving ramirez home
03:33he will score and they take the lead it's an rbi single one nothing
03:38mission accomplished there as he picks up the rbi to give him the lead
03:42nice job of driving that pitch the other way on a line you know hitters
03:46they take so many reps in the cages working on going to the opposite field
03:50and it doesn't always translate into the game but right there it did
03:53and he did it perfectly
03:57strike two all you got to do is concentrate and execute this next pitch get
04:01yourself out of the jam back into the dugout
04:04keeps the at-bat going with a foul ball
04:10no that's down martinez off of first with two away
04:20but the rbi single pushes across a run bottom half of hitting number one coming
04:26up this is raised baseball on the
04:30we go to the bottom of the first and on the mound for cleveland in this one joey cantillo
04:36what do we have on him very dominant his last time out picked up the win only allowed one run
04:42these guys would love to see him back on his game in this one stepping in johnny deluca
04:51oh deluca matched a homer in his last game
05:00the 1-0
05:03that's the third ramirez
05:06zips it across one gone bottom half of the first batting second now a look at kevin cash's lineup for
05:13the tampa bay rays and a big factor for them in recent games johnny deluca big time speed here
05:20boog a guy with just terrific wheels and an absolute nightmare for opposing pitchers when he's on base
05:26i mean players like this who have elite speed it's like disruptive technology on the base paths man can't
05:32wait to watch him run those three stolen bases in his last game man he made it look easy didn't
05:39you
05:39swipe three bags in a game against the tigers once yeah that was a fun game for me but not
05:44so much for
05:45brandon and she was behind the dish that day and the tying run is on base just so sound in
05:52his mechanics
05:52hits against a firm front side and the hands just continue to carry through the middle of the field
06:00yandy diaz now
06:05that one's in there and it's all in one
06:21this to third to second there's one what a double play that was inning over
06:29no runs one hit no errors and no one left we head to the second here at tropicana field
06:35the guardians lead it one to nothing you're watching tampa bay rays baseball on the show florida
06:44all set for the start of the inning stepping up for the guardians reese hoskins
06:53hard ground ball base knock
06:57solo runner aboard to start the inning
07:00waste no time there just a simple ground ball the other way they had eyes on it man sometimes
07:05that's all you need to do just let the ball travel put the ball in play and just hope it
07:09finds a hole
07:15ball one
07:21ground ball right side
07:24good feed that's one no he's done at first it's a fielder's choice
07:30tough play right there didn't really have enough time to set his feet and make a strong accurate
07:34throw had to rush it but he got it off and he got it there in time to get that
07:38out at second base
07:39one out man at first daniel schneeman digs in now went with the sweeper but it misses
08:00the one one is fouled off
08:02uh
08:14roquio the runner at first with one gone to the inning
08:18it goes down looking batting ninth after austin hedges
08:31going on the first pitch appeal down to first and yes he offered at it
08:38that clicks the zone that is strike two they keep laying off the off-speed stuff but the problem is
08:44they're landing for strikes things will start to look different if they can track those pitches a
08:48little bit better swing and a chopper out to short to first that's the third out inning over one left
08:56for the guardians but they hold a one nothing lead
09:03ready to go for the last half of the inning at the plate now for the rays is the dh
09:08ryan valade
09:13that's in there 4-1
09:26out to short
09:30on to first and quickly one away in the second
09:35batting fifth second baseman hassan the kill
09:50ball one
09:59out towards right center field
10:02and makes the grab and there's two down batting six right fielder jake fraley
10:10next to hit jake fraley seems like he's making contact with everything lately can make it a five
10:16game hitting streak with a knock in this one
10:24hey fraley launched the homer in his most recent game
10:35this ball's chopped on the ground schneeman throws the first in time and that is the inning down in
10:43order go the rays they trail here one nothing
10:51new inning getting started here's the cleveland leadoff hitter stephen kwan
11:00fouled off left side it's not always the case but if you win rookie of the month more than once
11:06you've got a great shot at taking home rookie of the year honors after the season what a year he's
11:12had
11:12over to do it over to diaz leadoff man retired here in the third
11:17up next for cleveland third baseman jose ramirez
11:27here's something to watch singe he's got the best ops on the team he can hurt you
11:33cracks his bat and pops him up and there's two down
11:40up next for cleveland the designated hitter two down bases empty kyle mansardo will hit next he was a
11:48strikeout victim his first time that misses and that is ball one
12:02fastball for a strike see if he can go upstairs a little bit make sure you miss up and out
12:07of the
12:07zone since you're heading to count one two don't miss in the zone because that's where you get hurt
12:12two down nobody on fouls it off still one and two
12:20really good take especially with two strikes
12:26foul ball another two two upcoming
12:33and that's a strikeout looking he battled for a long time but it finishes with a strikeout
12:39you can't be mad at yourself after an at bat like that one
12:46set for the bottom of the third and stepping in for the raise taylor walls
13:00that one catches the corner for a strike
13:13swing and a line drive at a base hit out of the left center field and the tying run is
13:18on base
13:24good start for him to this ball game tonight and i always talk about get a knock in your first
13:28at bat
13:29it just makes your confidence it's such a higher level for the potential to have a big night
13:40ball inside
13:49high fly ball lifted in the year right field
13:54and there's one away
14:02so next to the plate for tampa bay cedric mullins
14:14close but call the ball ball one waltz the base runner at first with one out
14:35here's a 1-1
14:36here's a 1-1
14:38that one is absolutely belted carrying well
14:43banks off the wall headed for the plate he scores to tie it up well we're starting over again all
14:52tied up just missed out on a home run right there but he certainly hit it hard enough just didn't
14:57have the right launch angle to carry it over the wall but still an excellent swing at the bat
15:12nope fall one
15:13and a ball hit out towards left center field
15:27pulls it in on the run
15:29runner tags it second
15:30and he's up to third safely with two gone
15:34up next
15:35for the race
15:37now up for Tampa Bay
15:38Junior Caminero
15:39picked up a base hit to center his first time off
15:46right through there for a strike
15:48well recall that key holding
15:50even though it's right there and looks pretty good
15:52if he doesn't love it
15:54he's not going to swing that early in the count
15:58strike two
15:59so now it's all about protect mode
16:01try to shorten up
16:02try to track the ball
16:03block it if you have to
16:05as far as just a late swing
16:06that maybe you're not sure about
16:07but some way
16:09this one swung on and hit well
16:11way back there
16:12to the warning track
16:14makes the catch
16:16Rays get an RBI double
16:18all even at one apiece
16:26back here at Tropicana Field
16:28now the four-hole hitter for the Guardians
16:30Angel Martinez
16:33and that's in there at the knees for a strike
16:35you know these Guardians
16:37did a great job Boog of just waiting for the right pitch to come their way
16:41and I'm seeing very patient at bats out of it
16:44he's only given up one run
16:45but the starters pitch count is starting to get up there
16:48and that might be the best news yet for this offense
16:53here's the 0-2
16:55fouled off
16:56and they'll do it again
17:02yep
17:03sometimes all it takes is getting to the next arm
17:05before an offense does any damage
17:07and that might be the case today
17:09spoils the two-strike pitch
17:11and he'll see another
17:15fights it off
17:16he'll see another
17:21the 1-2
17:23out to short
17:24Walls
17:27tosses to first
17:28that's the first out
17:29in the top of the fourth
17:32up next
17:33for the Cleveland
17:34right fielder
17:35Chase DeLauw
17:42DeLauw
17:42turning some heads
17:43with this recent stretch
17:44of impressive play
17:47and another ball
17:48lots of rookies can have a hot streak
17:50but once the league gets a book on you
17:52starts attacking you differently
17:54things can shift in a hurry
17:56I'm interested to see how he handles those adjustments
18:00swing and a miss
18:01as he was out front
18:06got him
18:07he picks up his fifth strikeout on the hill
18:10well executed pitch on the outside part of the plate
18:19and here is Hoskins
18:21one for one with a single so far
18:25and he hits a ground ball right side
18:27little Baltimore chop action for the base hit
18:30so a two out knock keeps the inning alive
18:35not much to this one
18:36other than just a willingness to go the other way
18:38and put the ball in play
18:40that's a team to bat right there
18:41nice job of staying back
18:42and letting the ball get deep
18:43that one close rule the ball
18:46ball one
18:47Rokio
18:4725 years old
18:49and he was born in Venezuela
18:58gets him to chase after that one
19:00two gone but the go-ahead run is at first
19:04top half of inning number four
19:05that's a base hit
19:08throw stops the lead runner at second
19:10two on and two out
19:12back-to-back singles
19:13pretty much a model swing on that one
19:15as he ripped it into the opposite field gap
19:44and I'm sure he's gonna be watching that one back on video
19:47side one one
19:51bottom of the fourth and stepping in for the
19:53Rays Yandy Diaz
19:55first baseman Yandy Diaz
20:01he's pitching well but not throwing a ton of first pitch strikes usually
20:05doesn't work out for success but you can never predict baseball
20:11just missed well these Rays just lacking discipline at the plate in this ballgame
20:16they're chasing a lot of pitches outside the zone and those chases that are turning into a bunch of outs
20:21can they turn that around and stay within the zone we'll see but I think they have to
20:35line drive to short and caught
20:37that at bat is a positive sign even though it probably doesn't feel like it
20:41he hit the ball hard but it doesn't always work out in your favor
20:45sometimes a defender is there to make a play
20:59and on the mound you know confidence has to be pretty high with all of the swings and misses
21:04he's had him eaten out of the palm of his hand pretty much all game
21:09the 1-0
21:11on the ground right side
21:14gets it to first
21:15already two gone here in the home four
21:17next for the Rays second baseman
21:20Hesung Kim
21:22Hesung Kim next to hit for the Rays
21:24fly to right his first time
21:31what he's looking for there in the 0-0 count
21:33looks like he wants the ball down in the zone
21:43and that is in for a strike
21:45and it's nothing in two
21:46he's been very consistent with his command out there on the mound
21:50consistently throwing at the knees
21:52pretty impressive when a guy can repeat his delivery like this
21:55drilled in the air out towards right center
21:57brings it in
21:59and that'll do it
22:01three up three down for him there
22:03we're headed to the fifth
22:04all tied 1-1
22:10now pitching for the Rays
22:12so they turn to Craig Kimbrell
22:13still pretty early in the ball game
22:15so this bullpen has some work ahead of him
22:17best case scenario might be
22:19if he can come in here and get several quick outs
22:22kind of bridge the gap that starter left for him
22:25there's a strike
22:31popped up middle of the diamond
22:33Kim
22:37and there's one down
22:38that's a frustrating into the at bat for the hitter right there
22:41I mean that pitch was right down the middle
22:44I think he got a little too excited
22:45came out of his mechanics
22:47instead of driving that ball somewhere
22:49he popped it up
22:50unfortunate for him
22:51Kwon
22:52in the box again
22:53takes a strike
22:56on the ground
22:57right side
23:00the throw to first
23:01and the first two set down at the top of the fifth
23:04hey man
23:05four pitches two outs
23:06that is an excellent pace
23:14and the sweeper misses for a ball
23:17two down nobody on
23:18and we're at the top of the fifth
23:22oh look at the stop
23:23fires to first
23:24safe at first
23:25safe at first
23:26and infield single
23:27keeps the inning going
23:28nice job getting there
23:29good throw
23:30but
23:31very difficult to get anybody
23:33on that one
23:34as far as you had to go
23:36and throw
23:37you know
23:38yeah no question
23:42Kyle Manzardo
23:43digs in for the Guardians
23:47in the dirt
23:49in the dirt
23:53two gone
23:54the possible go-ahead run
23:56at first
23:57hit on the ground to the right side
23:59and a foul ball
24:05on the ground to the left
24:07and it stays fair
24:09and it gets by him
24:12they're waving Ramirez home
24:15he scores and they have the lead
24:18big swing of the bat right there to give him the lead
24:21that was clutch
24:22really good swing right there
24:24he got a pitch that he knew he could handle
24:25allowed himself to stay back just a tad bit longer
24:29and he hit the ball on the screws
24:31oh that's in the dirt
24:33blocked
24:38Cleveland up around looking for more
24:42in the dirt
24:50good hitters count the 2-0
24:52up the middle
24:53and that chance handled
24:56tosses to first
24:57out number three
25:00but a run will score in the inning
25:02on this RBI double
25:03and this is now a 2-1 ball game
25:06fade away with no baskets made
25:09in this tragedy game
25:11back here at Tropicana Field
25:13it's that time of the season
25:15let's check out some notable
25:16trade candidates
25:26play
25:27just missed
25:40ground ball right side
25:41and it goes
25:42just
25:56just
25:56rip to short
25:57snagged on a bounce
25:58whips it to first
26:00and the leadoff hitter retired in the fifth
26:02it's such a great feeling when a team can rely on their shortstop to make a play like that
26:07it builds up confidence for everyone on his team
26:10it might even inspire a few more web gyms before the game is over
26:19home team down a run
26:21last half of inning number five
26:27and he swings through that one
26:28and he really sells the change up with that arm action
26:38swing and a ground ball out to short
26:40oh can't pick it up cleanly
26:42and he's gonna make it to first
26:44and we'll see how they score
26:46hard to tell exactly what went wrong right there
26:48that was a fairly routine ground ball
26:51but he just couldn't get it to stick
26:52and the glove might have taken his eye off it a little early
26:55but regardless
26:56you're gonna have to work around that error
26:59run around at first with one gone
27:01and now the catcher for the Rays
27:03Nick Fortes
27:04outside that's a ball
27:16roll the short possible two ball
27:19beats the second out there
27:21on the Hoskins double play
27:24they made it look easy
27:25but it started with a nice feed to the second baseman from the shortstop
27:30perfect turn and they're out of this jam
27:36welcome back it's been a great game
27:39so let's take another look at the most important moment so far
27:42to your false story
27:43I let the market decide
27:47to your false story
27:49I let the market decide
27:53to your false story
27:55I let the market decide
27:58to your false story
28:00I let the market decide
28:05Chase DeLauder digs in for the Guardians
28:08right fielder Chase DeLauder
28:16this guy's got a great feel for his breaking ball today
28:23now a screamer into the outfield
28:26base hit
28:27and a good start to the inning
28:29oh he throws it away
28:32doesn't get too far away
28:33so no one moves up
28:36he's been swinging it really well lately
28:38just a very nice approach and swing right there to use the big part of the field
28:43everything was on time
28:44he stayed balanced through the entire swing
28:46and just launched that one into center
28:50there
28:51whoa that's down
28:55DeLauder on at first
28:57nobody out
28:59Hoskins pushes a foul
29:07the 1-1
29:08run around the goal
29:09that's in for a strike
29:12throw to second
29:13throw to second
29:13and they're safe
29:21man at second
29:24this one in the air right field
29:27can't get to it and this should score the run
29:30coming home
29:33and they lead by 2
29:36thought it was a great job of letting that runner steal second base
29:39get in the scoring position
29:40come through with the base knock
29:42you add a run
29:46here's Ryan Rocchio
29:47one for two
29:56the changeup missing
29:57and that's ball one
29:59he's getting a little frustrated out there on the mound
30:01getting hit around a little bit
30:03let's see if he can settle himself down
30:05up
30:06Walls throws the first
30:07now one gone at the top of the sixth
30:10up next for Cleveland
30:11second baseman Daniel Schneemann
30:21all one
30:22this one in the dirt and well done to keep it close
30:33he's been raking in recent games and a big reason why getting ahead and counts
30:39he's been able to do that consistently and you see the results
30:43this one rip but foul to the right
30:45clearly hoping he could get a swing and miss on that but doesn't fool the hitter with that breaking ball
30:50nice job just couldn't keep it fair
30:52strike two
30:53well pretty clear to me
30:55he's trying to go deep right there
30:56but you gotta get a pitch that you can handle
31:00swings and misses
31:01that's out number two
31:04Austin Hedges
31:05Austin Hedges now
31:09well bottom of the order here Boog
31:10you gotta go right after this guy
31:12as they look
31:19pick up an add-on run
31:22and the number nine guy at the plate
31:24that one finds the zone
31:27strike one
31:31there's a line drive to left field
31:33and that is that
31:38but a run will score in the inning on this RBI double
31:41it's now a 3-1 ball game
31:43this is Rays baseball on the show Florida
31:49where we go bottom six
31:51and stepping in for the Rays
31:53Cedric Mullins
32:00well these Rays as this game goes on have to be more disciplined at the plate
32:05they've been chasing pitches outside the zone all game and it's led to some frustrating moments
32:09they've been fooled quite a bit today
32:13out towards right center field
32:15DeLauder on the move to the gap
32:18he's got it and there's one down
32:20and as a pitcher when the hitters are swinging at everything
32:23you feel no need to challenge inside the zone
32:25you just keep working the corners
32:27and expanding that strike zone and beyond
32:29and they just keep eating right out of your hand
32:36in there for strike one
32:47this one popped up
32:50Rokio in position
32:51and there's two away
32:55up next for the Rays third baseman
32:59Junior Caminero
33:01stepping in the long ball threat Junior Caminero
33:05cruising on the mound right now
33:07but a dangerous hitter here in this spot
33:09a guy with some slug to him
33:14pretty frugal guy
33:15he is very efficient
33:17with the pitch count in this one
33:26two down nobody on
33:29center field
33:31Martinez
33:32under it
33:35and that's the inning
33:39offense held a check there
33:41we're through six full
33:43Guardians three the Rays one
33:45you're watching
33:47back here in
33:58Cleveland left
33:59new pitcher now Cam Boozer
34:01he doesn't get a lot of strikeouts compared to other relievers
34:04so he relies on getting that soft contact
34:06and the defense doing work behind him
34:09they'll have to be on their toes with him on the bump
34:26and that is out of play
34:29and that is out of play
34:40right
34:40and it falls
34:41man aboard on the lead off single
34:47definitely found the perfect spot
34:49those can be hard sometimes we talked about
34:51in left field you're kind of anticipating cheating in for a ball
34:55hit something like that that you can rob a little soft flare in front of you
35:00but perfectly placed so you reward the hitter with it
35:03that one kicks away from the catcher
35:05throws to second
35:06not gonna get him he's in there
35:08can't imagine he's too happy with that one on the mound
35:11just one pitch after giving up the single he basically turns it into a double
35:34almost got him
35:38runner in scoring position nobody out
35:41here in the top half of inning number seven
35:44but this doesn't seem to want to throw him a fastball
35:51too low ball for
35:53pretty easy walk right there
35:55last pitch wasn't even much to think about
35:57up next for Cleveland
35:59the designated hitter Kyle Manzardo
36:02so digging in Kyle Manzardo
36:10and that's in for a strike
36:12it's 0-1
36:13really good job in this spot to get ahead in the count
36:16he's gonna have to continue finish off this hitter
36:20on the ground a short could be two
36:22flips it one in second
36:24on to first save
36:26so they get one but a really nice try there
36:30well an aggressive slide at second base but it was legal
36:33I like it because you're trying to break up the double play and it looked like the slide impacted the
36:37throw a little bit
36:38nice job by the base runner
36:41backed off the plate that time
36:50swing and a line drive and that's a base hit into right field
36:53runner from third into score and they take a three run lead
36:58now the throw comes in runner holds it third
37:01big at bat to pat their lead up to three
37:04I don't know how he's able to shoot that pitch the other way and still put something on it
37:09that pitch was inside and he would better get really deep so pretty incredible hands to fight it off and
37:15still get good wood on it
37:16to Lauder the next to hit takes ball one
37:19second and third one away
37:22on the ground to short walls
37:24over to first
37:26now two away
37:30up next for Cleveland first baseman
37:32Reese Askins
37:49the pit behind with that swing it's strike one
37:54in the air to left center
37:59and that is that
38:02they put two on the board with a couple of hits no errors and one left seventh inning stretch time
38:08it's the Guardian
38:11welcome back taking a look at our game summer
38:13for the rain
38:14first baseman
38:16Jackie
38:17yeah
38:28I'm sure if he was expected for the pitcher to come right at him but he got a nice cookie
38:33there and just watched it the entire way
38:39in the air right field
38:43then there's one down
38:46up next for the Rays designated hitter
38:50Ryan
38:52hey
39:05the Rays
39:05down by four
39:07here at the bottom of the seventh
39:11and a strike on the outside corner
39:140-2
39:26hit on the ground to short
39:28Rokio
39:30throw to first in time
39:36up next for the Rays
39:38second baseman
39:40two outs base is empty
39:41here's the second baseman
39:42Hesung Kim
39:52ball that's off the plate
40:05to the right side
40:07he takes it himself to the bag and that'll do it
40:11Rays held in check here they're down here five to one
40:21here's a new pitcher from the pen
40:23Cole Sulcer
40:25he pitched yesterday and we'll see him once again
40:30leading off for the Guardians shortstop Brian Rokio
40:36down
40:37filthy chase up right there just pulled the string
40:43swings and misses
40:45and it's on two
40:49at the ball
40:56he's trying to stay down in the zone but the hitter just will not chase
40:59now back in a 2-2 count he's gonna have to go to something else to get him out
41:05puts it away for the out
41:06that swing right there tells me he's seeing the ball pretty well
41:09I know it didn't produce a hit but he made solid contact and that's all you're looking to do anytime
41:14you're at the plate
41:19off the plate ball one
41:34up next for Cleveland catcher Austin Hedges
41:35popped up to the left into foul ground
41:39two away
41:43up next for Cleveland catcher Austin Hedges
41:48two down bases empty
41:49and up next for Cleveland Austin Hedges

41:54good eye by Hedges
42:02nope that's off the plate ball 2
42:14nope that's off the plate ball 2
42:25and they'll do it again
42:29two down nobody on and we're at the top of the eighth
42:32that's foul off to the right side keeps the AB going
42:41on the ground
42:42and foul ball
42:50that one the other way
42:53reaching down makes the match
42:55the Guardians go down in order
42:58they're a 5-1
43:05back down new pitcher on the mound as we roll into the bottom of the eighth
43:09Garrett Whitlock
43:10and we all know about his slider it's just filthy man
43:13and what are the better ones in the game I'd say spin rates very high and it just breaks the
43:18time
43:18right fielder
43:20Jake Raley
43:27Cleveland has some action going in their pen
43:30Slade Ciccone the hard-throwing righty is up and loosening
43:41look at bat right here he did the team thing took until he got a strike now he's got to
43:47go to work
43:47shorten up that swing a little bit do whatever it takes to get on base
43:55and there's a foul ball
44:10this one in the air center field
44:15Martinez takes it in for the out and there's one down
44:19up next for the Rays shortstop Taylor Wall
44:25oh
44:45hey
44:47way out front for strike two
44:49the Guardians leading by four
44:52here the bottom half of the eighth inning
44:58popped up foul territory behind the plate
45:03takes it in for the out
45:05up next for the Rays catcher Nick
45:08so up next Nick Fortes
45:35that one finds the zone that strike two
45:46two
45:47two down nobody on
45:49fights that one away and the count remains oh and two
46:04high fly ball lifted in the air right field
46:07and that will end the inning
46:11nothing doing for Tampa they're down 5-1
46:21back now in Tampa Bay they put themselves out in front with a nice display at the plate take a
46:26look at the spray chart for where their hits have landed
46:29yeah when a team has this many knocks a lot of the time it gets clustered to one side or
46:34another not today they're hitting it all over the field
46:58and that's a hit and the leadoff man aboard
47:03up next for Cleveland
47:05here's Jose Ramirez
47:06here's Jose Ramirez
47:22deal
47:23deal too
47:26nice stop
47:27there's one
47:29to first not in time great effort there the book is an infielder you have to be
47:35ready for anything in that spot it required going to the ground getting a
47:39little dirty and making a strong throw for the out great play
47:45rudder takes off pitches high go to second but I really didn't expect him to
47:52try to steal second base because he had a very standard lead at best if you're
47:57trying to get there safely you've got to get more on that lead you've got to get
48:01a better job that was the difference between being safe and out round ball
48:06left side and that's just foul two down nobody on here at the top of the night
48:15hard ground ball base not Joey gets on base it keeps it going everything came
48:24together for him timing on the swing was good able to shoot the ball up the
48:28middle didn't square it up as much as he probably would have liked but that's a
48:31good approach paying off and now it's gonna be on hell Martinez
48:44that one fouled off the 0-2 hit hard on the ground is short and that's the third
48:57out guardians leave one they leave this one though 5-1
49:09back now as they hand the ball to a fresh arm to start the bottom of the
49:13night Sean Armstrong and he's done a great job keeping the ball in the park
49:18this year the numbers stack up with some of the best in the game
49:30hey
49:40drilled out towards left center field that's well struck and that one hops the
49:47wall in safely with a double his second of the day two hits for him in this one
49:53both for extra bases got to feel good about that I love the approach he had right
49:58there with that pitch not trying to do too much but still looking to drive it and
50:03that's exactly what he's able to do into the opposite field gap for the double
50:09ball inside
50:12your bottom nine and the whole team trying to rally to at least tie it up
50:20left field way back there that one carrying going
50:30his 11th of the year and they cut into the lead it's 5-3 these fans are really excited right
50:39now
50:46I wasn't sure he hit that one as hard as he needed to to get it out of here but
50:50it
50:50had just enough behind it for the homer what an attempt at the wall though he
50:54really gave a terrific effort to try and bring that one back so next to the plate
50:59for Tampa Bay junior Caminero this is a real tough place for visiting teams to
51:07come in and close out ball games for a win
51:13the real threats are coming off already giving up a home run in this inning it's going to really have
51:19to bear down
51:23to a really good cutter that he's able to front door and back door that pitch is
51:31devastating
51:36ground ball to go that's a base hit
51:42and that'll bring the tying run to the plate stringing them together that's three
51:47hits in a row really nice job staying up the middle of his approach he didn't try
51:51to do too much with the pitch just shot it through the infield manager out of the
51:55dugout now and it looks like we'll see a change on the mound Sean Armstrong done
52:00for the night to run ball game as he heads for the dugout and we'll be back with a
52:04new pitcher
52:10now pitching for Kate Smith on to try and close it out save opportunity for him
52:15right here and he's their guy time to lock this one down and get out of here
52:20with the W
52:34that's in here that strike one
52:47time run at the plate and that's ripped for a base hit makes the turn it's second
52:54heads for third and they're at the corners with nobody out
53:00now just a nice job coming through at a pretty high leverage spot right there
53:04really important bat coming up now
53:10now it's Ryan Valley 0 for 3 with 3 ground outs
53:19pitch is in there that strike one
53:32and a big swing and a miss
53:34and a big swing and a miss
53:49under it brings it in runner tagging from third
53:55into score from third and now they trail by one that play really shows how important it is to hit
54:01the cutoff man look like he tried to throw through and get the runner at home but it backfired and
54:07it ended up costing them a lot I remember my rookie year overthrowing a cutoff man didn't last long before
54:13I was pulled aside by a veteran pitcher he had a talk with me I don't know if I ever
54:17missed a cutoff man again
54:19that's off the ball one way to lay off that pitch down
54:32my drive
54:36and now the winning run is on base there you go winning run is a board with one
54:41down and now crucial opportunity to tie up this game with another base hit
54:49Jake Brady next to hit for the Rays
54:57close one doesn't get the call and that's ball one challenge from behind the dish here
55:04and on further review it was a strike still two challenges left for them
55:10the Guardians trying to close out a one run lead
55:13and the home team trying to pull it out
55:18got the back going too soon at strike two
55:20well if he's going to do something special right here it's going to have to happen with two strikes
55:29that one is absolutely belching that's got a chance
55:33and it's off the wall
55:37here comes the runner
55:38the relay
55:40the tag and he's out
55:42and they cut down the tying run
55:44the tag and that's the ball game
55:48well all you want is a chance going to that final frame
55:51they got some base runners had the tying run at second
55:53the winning run at first just couldn't come through with the big hit
55:56on the other side nice job to battle through it close out the win
55:59close one here today and your final 5-4
56:03for chris singleton and our entire crew i'm john chomby saying so long from tampa bay
