00:01On the hill tonight for the Giants
00:02will be the rookie right hander
00:03Hayden Birdsong 6 4 215 pounder a
00:06twenty three year old out of
00:07Platoon Illinois howdy start
00:11number thirteen on the year three
00:13and five with a five one nine
00:14era good strikeout ratio sixty
00:17four punch outs at fifty two
00:18innings but thirty five blocks is
00:20high for fifty two and that'll be
00:21a key for him his command today
00:23swing and there's a drive into
00:25center over to his right a bit
00:28McCray makes the catch.
00:30So one down here he's ahead in
00:32the count three and one shoots
00:34this one to left Ramos spins
00:36around and he makes the catch.
00:39Wow.
00:40This is a remarkable play he gets
00:41turned around to a high back
00:42hander I didn't think he had any
00:44chance to get this thing.
00:45Well how do you beat a team
00:46that's got terrific defense play
00:48some defense on your own out
00:50Glove of the O2 pinch swing and
00:53a miss he struck him in the
00:54opening of the toss has been
00:55good since he's been a brewer but
00:57he's a veteran I've been around a
00:59long time he's pitching parts of
01:00nine seasons Brewers are five and
01:01two and he starts sub four era for
01:03him that's a big change coming
01:05over to Cincinnati where his era
01:06was a five line drive to right
01:08field winds carrying that one
01:10back and going to be caught by
01:11Freeland and it does feel like
01:13right field has some juice once
01:15again tonight.
01:15I think that's where the home field
01:17advantage comes to play in three
01:18up and three down go the San
01:20Francisco Giants and that ends the
01:21inning home half of the second
01:23inning Giants will bring up Matt
01:25Chapman to lead it off fly ball
01:26down the right field line free
01:29lick nearing foul territory reaches
01:31in makes the catch and trampolines
01:34off the screen back into play.
01:36How about that play by Sal and how
01:39athletic was that just bouncing off
01:41that netting like a trampoline used
01:43his arms as a little springboard
01:45that was very smoothly done.
01:48So wait over at first Montas looks
01:50at first and throws home swing and
01:52a miss he struck him out a fastball
01:54on the inner part of the plate just
01:55good old-fashioned heater right by
01:57Encarnacion little tapper and
02:00right on the bag of Thomas he'll
02:02step on it for the out and the
02:04inning is over two scoreless for
02:06Frankie Montas we go to the bottom
02:07of the third inning here in San
02:09Francisco 0 0 ball game really
02:11enjoy what Montas has been able to
02:13do with dispersing the arsenal and
02:15moving the ball around the zone as
02:17well already a great job early in
02:19the ballgame and a swing and a
02:20miss nasty slider that time from
02:22Montas you got to respect it if
02:24that's a four seam fastball it's
02:25going to be outer third of the
02:27plate starting to get warmed up
02:28on this cool night in San
02:29Francisco got him pull him away
02:32with a fastball at 97 the 1 2 3
02:35bottom of the third both teams
02:37with just one hit in this game
02:38there has not been much traffic on
02:40the base pass as of yet and a
02:42swing and a miss gassed him up
02:44with a fastball and four of his
02:46last six outs have been via the
02:48strikeout Tim he's got five
02:50swings and misses on the slider
02:51that's a new season high by the
02:53way on that pitch see if he
02:54throws one here the 0 2 no
02:57fastball and a called strike
02:59three just a paint job on the
03:02outside corner comeback sinker on
03:05Ramos and strikeout number 5 10 I
03:08mean just pumping in the strikes
03:11whoo pitch timer violation on
03:13Frankie Montas because he stepped
03:15off the back of the rubber with
03:16nobody on base all tosses upset
03:19about that there's really nowhere
03:21to go if you're a pitcher if
03:23there's a runner on base you can
03:24always just throw over see if
03:26Frankie can get his composure
03:27back there goes Chapman 3 2 is
03:29low ball force away takes the
03:31walk back to back two out walks
03:33the Giants have an opportunity
03:35here their first runner in
03:36scoring position of the whole
03:37game Frankie Montas having a dig
03:39deep right here in the air
03:41towards right back on it goes
03:42Freelich just to the edge of the
03:44warning track he's there to make
03:45the catch and the inning is over
03:47and we're off to the fifth each
03:49team with no runs Birdsong has
03:51lodged just one hit one over the
03:52minimum Wow right on the inside

04:04runner in scoring position is in
04:06there strike three call and
04:07Hoskins knew it after four and a
04:09half nothing nothing the Brewers
04:11come up empty leaving a runner at
04:13second Frankie Montas has been
04:15excellent tonight not getting any
04:17run support but he's holding up
04:19his 17 whiffs already in the
04:21ballgames the most since joining
04:23the Brewers I like how he's kind
04:25of diversified the portfolio but
04:27something about that slider and now
04:29he's leaned into it big time
04:31lead man up in the six seven
04:32strikeouts for Montas here the
04:35two two pitch and he got him
04:37splitter a nasty one in the dirt
04:40and another strikeout for Frankie
04:41that's number eight on a breeze of
04:43a first stealing and has had the
04:45labor through his next four trying
04:47to go six on the ground ranging
04:51over to right he clubs and he
04:52throws it and it is in time
04:55it is in time wow indeed price to
04:59rank with that gold glove form
05:01put one on the highlight reel for
05:02to rank three up and three down
05:04through the heart of the order
05:05for Frankie Montas he was
05:08outstanding to the top of the
05:09seventh inning no score we got
05:12Camilo Duvall command is always
05:14the discussion with Camilo
05:16Duvall's tied second most in
05:18walks with thirty five three one
05:20pitch way outside ball for goodness
05:25it's two free gifts at 90 feet
05:26Sanchez goes down swinging oh
05:29look out back to the screen again
05:32and the second wild pitch of the
05:34inning and Duvall is all over the
05:36map right here it's only the
05:38second time they've had a runner
05:39in scoring position and that one's
05:41in the dirt block here comes a
05:42Dallas and he's going to score
05:44oh what a read by Adamas as Duvall
05:49wild pitches Adamas all the way
05:52around the bases and it's a one
05:54nothing ball game unbelievable
05:55Bryce Terang digs in he's bounced a
05:58short twice one nothing Brewers in
06:01the eighth delivery Terang that's a
06:04shot off the glove of Luciano and
06:07into a shallow center field Bryce
06:09Terang hits a rocket that'll be a
06:12base hit that's the old catch 22 he
06:16hit the ball that probably only
06:17Bryce Terang could have made the
06:19play and he can't do it on
06:20himself tell you what Bryce
06:21Terang's play at second base with
06:24Montas on the mound is proving to
06:26be a game changing moment Bryce
06:28Terang at first base Jackson
06:29Cheerio striding to the plate
06:31there's a fly ball to right and
06:33that is going to be way gone
06:35Cheerio sends one out of here to
06:39make it three to nothing Jackson
06:42Cheerio with serious opposite
06:45field pop Jackson told me before
06:46the game as he was getting ready to
06:48take the field he said I feel it I
06:50feel it tonight he called his
06:5220th home run he said he was
06:53feeling strong feeling good and as
06:55he was coming in he pointed at me
