00:01And out on the mound for the Giants, left-hander Blake Snell is for a season here.
00:05He's been the league's most dominant pitcher over the last two months,
00:08including a recent no-hitter at Cincinnati.
00:11And now the 1-2 pitch, that's a line drive, face it into left field.
00:14Snell simulating some of his mechanics as though he did not finish that curveball
00:19and as a result left it up in the zone.
00:21Jerry doesn't care, that's the first hit of the game, and it was on a line into left.
00:24Perdomo's still holding down there, fastball misses in, he's missed in there twice,
00:29and he's walked Corbin, third time in three games in this series
00:32that the first two Diamondback banners of the ballgame have reached base
00:36and an RBG chance for Josh Bell.
00:38That's on the ground, it's short, Fitzgerald makes a nice play to get to it,
00:41they throw it away, and it gets up the line.
00:44Perdomo will score, Corbin's into third, and the Diamondbacks again score the game's first run.
00:49Ah, just a thing of beauty, you don't like to really see Josh Bell hit the ball on the ground
00:53because he is a double-play candidate, but...
00:55It's a tough throw, but if you're wisely as well,
00:57I mean, you have to get glove on that, you can't just whiff the ball.
01:01We saw what happened, it rolled about 180 feet into right.
01:041-2 pitch, swing and a miss, he struck him out on a curve.
01:08The ball is dropped by Bailey, who walks over and tags on Gritchick,
01:12who's already headed back to the dugout.
01:14And it's gonna get longer, missed inside, one-and-at-bat by Suarez,
01:18who has now walked four times in the series,
01:21and they're loaded for Jake McCarthy.
01:23Swing and a miss to the ball, hits off the glove of Bailey.
01:27McCarthy is gonna get to first base safely.
01:29Oh my goodness, it's a strikeout pass ball.
01:33Carroll scores, and it's 2-0 Diamondbacks.
01:37Wow, a swing and a miss.
01:39Giants just giving outs away all in this first inning.
01:42Still trying to limit the damage, delivers.
01:44Ground ball up the first base side, a dive by Wade.
01:47Now, Snell does not get over there.
01:50Wade gets up along the line, and a foot race to the base,
01:53and he beats Newman there.
01:55Right-hander Merrill Kelly, out four months with a right shoulder strain,
01:58and still looking for his usual top form in four starts since he came back.
02:02Yep, working his way back right now.
02:04He starts getting some of the innings in.
02:06His last four starts, he has struggled.
02:0821 in the third inning's pitch, the 1-6-9 whip.
02:12On drive, base in.
02:13Careful with this guy, hopefully get this guy to hit the ball to the ground.
02:16Line to shortstop, Perdomo's got it.
02:19Geraldo Perdomo, what a play.
02:21That's the first out.
02:22Tap slowly to short.
02:24Perdomo gets one.
02:25Newman turns it.
02:27A beautiful turn at second by Kevin Newman,
02:29and some middle infield defense behind Merrill Kelly.
02:33Giants pitching coach Brian Price, the manager Bob Melvin,
02:36make a decision after a 42-pitch first inning for Blake Snell,
02:40the second-longest first inning of Snell's career.
02:42They have decided he's done for the day,
02:45so they have knocked Blake Snell out of the ball game after one inning.
02:48And here is the rookie right-hander, Landon Roop.
02:50Now the wind-up, two-strike pitch.
02:52Bounced right back to Roop.
02:54Reaches up, makes the grab, throws him out at first.
02:57Decided rather than test the market again,
02:59likes the Bay Area, he's with Bob Melvin.
03:01I'm just going to stay here, and they got it worked out.
03:03And Merrill Kelly gets him to chase that curveball.
03:06Merrill says, oh, can I got a curveball, too?
03:08Swing, line drive, base hit, left center field.
03:11Into the alleyway, hustling over to cut it off.
03:14Is Gritchick heading for second is Fitzgerald.
03:16Here comes the throw to second.
03:17Not in time.
03:18He slides in with a double.
03:20They're all bouncing off the glove of the second baseman, Newman,
03:23and rolling away anyway.
03:24Oh, Merrill Kelly, a glove save and a beauty.
03:28He leaves Fitzgerald down there at second.
03:30We hit the third in San Francisco.
03:33You said you wanted to see Kelly pitch backwards a bit more.
03:36You got it, buddy.
03:36And that's been working the last couple of innings.
03:390-1, that's hit sharply.
03:41Backhanded by Perdomo, and he tumbles on his backside.
03:44The ball comes out of his glove.
03:46That'll be an infield single for McCray.
03:48He goes, the pitch is taken up and away.
03:51Here's the throw.
03:51The tag is safe.
03:54Just managed to get around the tag attempt of Perdomo.
03:58Swung on, grounded to second, fielded by Newman,
04:00and the throw to first is in time.
04:02Runner to third, one out, top of the order coming up in Jastrzemski.
04:06Got him, right at the belt.
04:09Merrill Kelly getting up mid-90s,
04:11and he gets his third strikeout.
04:13Jastrzemski caught looking, and there's another one.
04:15Perdomo's got it.
04:17Nice high hop.
04:18And Merrill Kelly strands that leadoff hit.
04:21He's worked three scoreless and holds a 2-0 lead in San Francisco.
04:25The bullpen stays quiet for the Giants.
04:27The pitch.
04:28Conforto pulls one into right field.
04:30Base hit.
04:31Michael Conforto with a leadoff hit.
04:33Hustling over, Corbin Carroll gets to it before it hits the wall.
04:39Smash, fair.
04:40By third, down the left field line.
04:42It's going to kick up against the side wall, and ricochet out to Grichick.
04:46Conforto to third.
04:47He'll stop there.
04:48End to second with a double as Matt Chapman.
04:52There it is.
04:53There's another one.
04:54Nice pitch.
04:54Go to what works.
04:55Well, that's his best pitch in a crucial situation.
04:58Got him.
04:59Merrill Kelly.
04:59That changeup is dancing up there, and he's got five strikeouts.
05:03The Giants now have runners at second and third.
05:06Two down.
05:06The infield sags back with the exception of the third baseman, Suarez.
05:10The pitch.
05:11Bailey hits a little soft liner.
05:13Left center field.
05:14It's going to fall.
05:14Base hit.
05:16Conforto's in to score.
05:17Right behind him.
05:18Chapman.
05:19He'll score.
05:20And Patrick Bailey comes up with a huge hit.
05:23Just kind of poked at it, but it worked.
05:26Tough break there.
05:27Third hit of the inning, and we got ourselves a tie ball game.
05:33Swing and a drive down the right field line, hooking toward the corner.
05:35That is a fair ball.
05:38It's off the bricks and shoots right by Carroll, who's got to chase it down,
05:42back toward the infield as Conforto goes to second with a double.
05:46Well, I'm the poor guy signed late.
05:49Conforto Montgomery was one.
05:51Way up there for Barossa in center.
05:54Conforto will have to stay put at second, and they retire Chapman.
05:58Line to short right at Perdomo.
06:00Nobody home to try and double off Conforto.
06:03Got him.
06:04Merrill Kelly strands that leadoff double.
06:06He's got six strikeouts through six in a 2-2 ballgame.
06:10Top of the order due up next.
06:11Perdomo and then Corbin Carroll.
06:13The pitch.
06:14That is called strike three.
06:16Got the wide strike there.
06:17Maybe with some help from Patrick Bailey.
06:19Out number one.
06:21Here's a swing and a ground ball to second.
06:23Wisely's got it.
06:24Throws to first in time to get Perdomo.
06:27Two down.
06:30Nowhere to go on that one.
06:32Got him with a sinker at 83.
06:34That one really got away from Rogers.
06:37That kind of stung Corbin a little bit.
06:39Not diving or anything.
06:40This ball just almost behind him, and there's nowhere to go.
06:43Right in the ribs.
06:43You're locked up.
06:47Boy, Lamont Wade Jr.
06:49Has put on a defensive clinic on how to play first base in this series.
06:54He has been outstanding.
06:56A step forward for Merrill Kelly today after a rough one against the Dodgers.
06:59His last time out.
07:00And here he is.
07:01Back out there to start the seventh inning.
07:03He's thrown the ball great.
07:04I mean, you couldn't ask for a better outing right now from Merrill.
07:07Boy, Merrill Kelly with that changeup.
07:09That has been pitch number one.
07:11He's got seven strikeouts.
07:13Got him.
07:13Wrong him up with a sinker, Merrill Kelly.
07:16The inning is over, and Kelly strikes out two.
07:19Eight strikeouts through seven innings of work here this afternoon.
07:23The 0-1.
07:24There's a swing and a line drive towards right center field.
07:27Oh, it's a diving attempt, but it's off the heel of the glove by McCray.
07:31Picked up by the right fielder, Yastrzemski.
07:33He throws to second late, and Walker into second with a leadoff double.
07:38Berosa bunts it right at Chapman.
07:40No one home at third, so Christian can jog on in there.
07:43Job done by Berosa.
07:45The pitch.
07:46Strike three call, and he knew it.
07:48A slider up and in.
07:50Ryan Walker delivers.
07:51He struck him out swinging.
07:52The backdoor slider.
07:54That was a beauty.
07:5567 appearances this year.
07:57Third most of the majors.
07:58And Guillaume's done it again.
08:01He bats for Newman, gets the leadoff walk, and there's a go-ahead run.
08:04Chapman coming in, pops up the bunt, and that's not what you want.
08:10Oh, boy.
08:11Fastball right there.
08:13Yeah, right.
08:14He came back with it, and he got him.
08:16Kevin Ginkle stays in the game.
08:18Last of the ninth inning for the Giants, and he swings and lines a base hit.
08:22Left center field.
08:23Hustling over the center field of Berosa.
08:25Cuts it off, and he'll hold Fitzgerald to a single.
08:28There goes the runner.
08:29The pitch is swung on and missed to throw to second, and he's got it stolen.
08:33I was waiting for the umpire to give us the save sign.
08:36There's your winning run at second.
08:38In scoring position, no outs.
08:40Patrick Bailey is the hitter.
08:41Might not need to bunt him over.
08:43Fitzgerald has maybe the best base running speed on the club.
08:47He's had to drive deep to left center off the bat of Bailey, and the Giants walk it off.
08:52Well, the D-backs weren't able to put any more on the board after the first,
08:57and the Giants just hung in there enough to keep it to the bottom of the ninth inning
09:01at a tie game, and they walk it off after two straight hits.
