00:25Tristan Banks on the hill for this one.
00:28Fresh off a stellar string of outings, all eyes are focused on the up-and-coming prospect.
00:34Can he keep it going?
00:37It's the Los Angeles Angels taking on the Houston Astros.
00:41First pitch coming your way next.
00:45Tristan Banks, the next to hit for the Angels.
00:48Really interesting to see him continuing his career as a two-way player at the Major League level.
00:54Definitely always a topic of conversation around the game.
00:57Because it's so rare in baseball history, it gets people excited.
01:00He's a great athlete to be able to do this kind of thing.
01:10Line drive.
01:12And that's got extra bases written all over it.
01:17Seanwell, around third.
01:20He will score and they take the lead.
01:23Oh, they tag him for the out.
01:25He was off the bat.
01:26Banks, ready to go.
01:28Looking to set the tone right out of the gate.
01:31Yeah, Boog.
01:32He needs to come out aggressive but composed as well.
01:35A clean first frame can settle the whole dugout.
01:41Altuve always seems to be setting records or reaching milestones, Boog.
01:45In 2023, he became the fastest player to reach 2,000 career hits, 200 home runs, and 200 stolen bases
01:52in MLB history.
01:54Right through there for his strike.
01:58Out to center.
02:01And there's one away.
02:06Here's Jordan Alvarez.
02:11Now a pop-up on the infield.
02:14Vargas.
02:14Take it, take it.
02:16But it's the pitcher that makes the play.
02:19And there's two away.
02:21Two down bases empty.
02:23Here's the third baseman, Carlos Correa.
02:33On the ground to the left.
02:36Throws the first in time.
02:38And it's a 1-2-3 inning.
02:40It's the Angels 1 and the Astros 0.
02:45Back here in Houston, ready to go for the last half of the inning.
02:49So the Los Angeles Angels putting together a terrific season so far.
02:53About a third of the way in.
02:55They came into the year looking like a team with a good shot at the postseason.
02:58We might need to upgrade that outlook.
03:01Yeah, I'm starting to think this is a team that's headed for October.
03:04They've put together a very nice season so far.
03:07Of course, now they need to keep it up and make sure they don't waste what's been a great start.
03:11Fires to first.
03:13Leadoff man retired here in the second.
03:19Pena in the box here and fouls it off for strike one.
03:23Pena with an uncharacteristic stretch of poor play lately.
03:29Even superstars have their slumps from time to time, Boog.
03:32And he's no exception.
03:33He's too good to struggle much longer, though.
03:36I'd expect him to turn it around soon.
03:38Well, he went up there trying to be aggressive, that's for sure.
03:40Hacking at those first two pitches.
03:42But clearly that last one fooled him.
03:44He could have been sitting on something else entirely.
03:46But you want to be able to adjust on 0-2 and at least get a swing off when it's
03:51in the zone.
03:52Maybe choke up.
03:52Maybe spread out your stance a little bit.
03:54You got to give the guy credit on the mound, though.
03:56He went right after it.
03:57Got him.
03:58Three up, three down, inning over.
04:02Man at first, one away.
04:11This one in the air center field.
04:16Out, number two.
04:22Back here at the ballpark, coming off a series where they were red hot at the plate.
04:27And a look at the numbers.
04:29Up the middle.
04:31Nice grab.
04:31To his knee.
04:33The throw.
04:33And he gets him.
04:35Nicely done.
04:36Look at the commitment to make the play.
04:39Down on the ground, from the knees.
04:40That's not just arm strength, guys.
04:42That's core strength as well.
04:44Look at that rocket across the diamond.
04:46Outstanding job.
04:48Deal one.
04:50And a big swing and a miss.
04:55Fouls it back with two strikes.
05:02Goes down looking.
05:04Well executed pitch on the outside part of the plate.
05:08And stepping in for the Astros, Jaron Williams.
05:18Comes up empty.
05:20This guy's not wasting any pitches.
05:22Hitters got to get into swing mode.
05:24This is a good time to expand.
05:25And he got him.
05:27Strike three, and that'll retire the side.
05:30Bottom four.
05:31So now the Astros designated hitter, Jose Altuve.
05:36Something I'm noticing in this one is that these hitters are aggressive early in the count.
05:41It makes you wonder if that was talked about in the hitters meeting before this game started.
05:48Field two.
05:51Foul tip.
05:52Oh, that got our umpire.
05:53And it looks like it got him upstairs.
05:58In the air, right field.
06:01And there's one down.
06:04Now it's Jordan Alvarez.
06:10And first offering is fouled off.
06:16Foul ball.
06:19The Angels leading by three.
06:22We're here at the bottom of the fourth.
06:24And Darryl on strikes he goes.
06:26And there's two down.
06:28Now Correa up to him.
06:33Swing and a miss at a slider.
06:38That one catches the corner for a strike.
06:47Got him looking for the strikeout.
06:49So he picks up his sixth strikeout.
06:53All set for the start of the inning.
06:55And now the designated hitter for the Angels.
06:57Tristan Banks.
07:01Drilled in the air.
07:02High and deep right field.
07:04That one carrying.
07:06And it is out of here.
07:10A solo shot.
07:12And they boost their lead.
07:14They wasted no time in that at-bat.
07:16Swinging at the first pitch.
07:17And he punished it.
07:19Boog, I wasn't sure he hit that one as hard as he needed to
07:21to get it out of here.
07:22But it had just enough behind it for the homer.
07:25What an attempt at the wall, though.
07:27He really gave a terrific effort to try and bring that one back.
07:30Diaz.
07:31Takes low.
07:32Second trip to the plate in this one.
07:34And that's him for a strike.
07:36And one and one.
07:37Well, every pitcher wants a run support.
07:39And having a lead is nice.
07:41But it can be challenging for some pitchers.
07:43I think keeping the mindset to attack instead of trying to be too fine
07:47and have too much finesse.
07:48Go after hitters and get quick outs.
07:52Right down to shoot.
07:54Full count down.
07:59Sets him down on strikes.
08:01Picks up strikeout number seven.
08:03And the batter will be the shortstop.
08:05Jeremy Pena.
08:08Popped up to the left.
08:09Into foul ground.
08:11You got room.
08:12Takes it in for the out.
08:15And there's two down.
08:17Two outs.
08:18Space is empty.
08:18Here's Nathaniel Lowe.
08:21A swing and a miss.
08:23And that's strike one.
08:30Looking sharp just a strike away from five shutout innings.
08:35Battling here as he fouls it away.
08:39The 0-2.
08:42High fly ball lifted in the air right field.
08:46And the inning is over.
08:49So five.
08:51Banks digging in.
08:53They've got the lead.
08:54But here's another chance to set the tone.
08:57Yeah, but one good swing and suddenly they add to the margin.
09:01Every run counts as this game moves along.
09:04Fouled off left side.
09:06You know, these angels doing a good job of putting the ball into play.
09:09And that makes things more challenging on the defensive side.
09:12Only two strikeouts so far.
09:15And obviously they've been able to pick up plenty of hits.
09:18So it's been an impressive one.
09:19One down.
09:20And you know, that strikeout total.
09:23Only two so far.
09:24Really tells you they're not just running into good luck and getting hits to fall.
09:28They're earning those knocks.
09:30Smith in the box as he fouls off the first pitch.
09:36And that one fouled off.
09:43Smith stays alive.
09:51Struck him out without a swing.
09:54Strikeout number eight.
09:56And next to hit for Houston, Joey Loprefito.
10:02In the air to left center, Meckler on his way over.
10:06Pulls it down and he makes the catch.
10:11Now it's the second baseman, Jaron Williams.
10:16I'm impressed by the number of first pitch strikes.
10:20He's not afraid of contact.
10:22Some guys, they'll nibble just because they don't want to get hit hard.
10:25That's not what we're seeing here.
10:28Foul ball.
10:29It stays nothing and two.
10:33Two down.
10:34Nobody on.
10:36See if you can go upstairs a little bit.
10:38Make sure you miss up and out of the zone since you're heading to count one, two.
10:42Don't miss in the zone.
10:43Well, looked at the fastball for strike three there to end the inning.
10:49Bottom of the seventh.
10:50Here's the Astros' leadoff man.
10:52Jose Altuve.
10:56Swing and a ball lifted in the air.
10:58Shallow left field.
11:00One away.
11:03And now, you're Don Alvarez.
11:08Right through there for a strike.
11:10Well, I say it's the best pitch in baseball.
11:12Strike one.
11:12You get ahead.
11:13Only good hitter as well.
11:14He's a swing and a ground ball, and it goes just fouled.
11:22Keeps the event going with a foul ball.
11:29Up the middle, and he can't come up with it.
11:33Safe at first.
11:34No play.
11:35We'll see how they score this.
11:37One down, and here comes Carlos Correa.
11:42That one fouled off.
11:49Swing and a ground ball up the middle.
11:51Steps on the back for one.
11:53Double play.
11:54What a twin.
11:56Runner at third with one gone.
11:59And next is the designated hitter, Tristan Banks.
12:04Blind into right.
12:07He's got it.
12:08Runner tags for home.
12:11He's in to score on the sack fly.
12:13It's 8-0.
12:14Back here in Houston.
12:16And this lineup is still hitless as we begin the eighth.
12:20On the ground right side.
12:22And foul ball.
12:26That's the third.
12:28Vargas.
12:30On to first.
12:32One gone at the bottom of the eighth.
12:34Still rolling to start the eighth.
12:36Just five more outs to get.
12:39Payne.
12:39Batting with one down.
12:41Takes a strike.
12:44That one finds the zone.
12:47That's strike two.
12:51And a pop-up.
12:52Right side.
12:53Foul territory.
12:55That one is foul.
12:57And he'll see another.
13:01Got him swinging.
13:02Well, when you commit to throwing an inside fastball to your glove side across the strike zone,
13:07especially with two strikes, if you're going to miss, you want to miss off the plate.
13:11And you do not want to leave it out over the heart of the plate.
13:13So that was excellent execution on that pitch.
13:17Really tied him up.
13:18And he couldn't get a piece at all.
13:21That is the inning.
13:25Eight down.
13:27Banks.
13:28Back out for the ninth.
13:29Complete game within reach.
13:31He's earned this shot, Ziggy.
13:33Yeah, Boog.
13:34Now it's about focus and execution.
13:36He wants to walk off the mound to applause, not traffic.
13:41Right through there for a strike.
13:42I can only imagine the nerves that some of the defensive players have right now.
13:47You've got to have the mindset, I want the ball hit to me.
13:49But in front of that, you hope that he strikes the hitter out.
13:54Out to short.
13:57Over to first.
13:59And the leadoff man retired here in the ninth.
14:01One of their last chances to break up the no-no.
14:07Loperfito stands in now and watches strike one.
14:14Rolled over to third.
14:17And just one out remaining for Houston.
14:19And now the toughest one is left to get.
14:22The final out to complete the no-hitter.
14:25Yeah, and not much we can say anymore.
14:27Everyone knows what this situation is.
14:30And he's so close, Boog, he can taste it.
14:34And it's a no-hitter.
15:00And it's a no-hitter.
15:23And here is Tristan Banks.
15:34To the right side.
15:35Now Tuve handles it.
15:38Slinging it to first in time.
15:41That in third.
15:42The catcher, number 14.
15:53Ripped to third and caught.
15:54It's never fun going back to the dugout after hitting the line drive that finds a glove.
15:58But you will get some high fives.
16:00You know, when you make great contact, you feel like you've done everything right.
16:04But in this game of baseball, not everything is in your control.
16:08Banks digging in.
16:09Missed opportunity just now, but still a chance with two away.
16:13Big spot here, Slinging.
16:15Yeah, got to shake it off and keep grinding.
16:17A base hit here changes everything.
16:31Hart Crowther into the outfield for a knock.
16:34One runs in.
16:36The second run scores.
16:38And they take a three-run lead.
16:42And that knock bumps his hitting streak into double digits, Chris.
16:46He's hitting ten straight.
16:47Yeah, and on a nice trajectory, average going up, OBP, everything he's doing at the plate right now just seems
16:55to be working.
16:57First and second, two outs.
16:59Logan Ohoppy, the next to hit for the Angels.
17:07Two on, two outs.
17:09Swing and a pop-up.
17:11Williams moving under it.
17:14And that'll do it.
17:17For midway in the fourth, it's the Angels three and the Astros nothing.
17:23This is AOS action on MLB The Show.
17:32So, digging in, Tristan Banks.
17:43Worm burner into the outfield for a knock.
17:47Throw in hopes the lead runner at second.
17:50Two on now with two away.
17:53Well, Singy, he is locked in there.
17:55Well, he's really slowed the game down.
17:58And it's like he's moving in full speed and everybody is a step or two behind.
18:02The way that he's squared up that baseball tells me that he is seeing it like a beach ball.
18:09Fail pitch.
18:11In the air, right field.
18:13Smith gets under it.
18:14He's there.
18:15He's got it.
18:16And that is that.
18:18Angels strand a couple as they hold on to a 4-1 lead.
18:33Banks digging in.
18:35They say pressure makes diamonds.
18:37Let's see if this turns into a gem.
18:39Yep.
18:40Time to see if this one shines.
18:54That one is absolutely belted.
18:56Come on, find it, find it, find it.
18:58And it bangs off the out-of-town scoreboard.
19:00In comes the run from second.
19:03Relay throw.
19:04And he's got no chance.
19:06He's out.
19:31Banks really stood out in this win.
19:34Knocked in four runs really drove production.
19:37Such a tremendous effort at the dish.
19:40Not every game is going to be like this one.
19:42So you need to enjoy it when it's happening.
20:33Tristan Banks

25:52are producing a lot of
25:54quality swings
25:55they have five extra base hits

25:58and that tells me
25:59they're seeing the ball

26:01really well
26:01way out front
26:03for strike two
26:04with all those extra base hits
26:06it's easy to think
26:07we're going to see that trend
26:08continue the rest of the game
26:09they seem to be really
26:10locked in at the plate
26:11and he hits a ground ball
26:13right side
26:14and that's just
26:15foul
26:25you can see

27:16protect mode
27:16try to shorten up
27:18try to track the ball
27:19block it if you have to

28:12but made it count
28:12with a homer
28:13well he definitely
28:14made a difference
28:15for him in this one
28:16nice effort
28:16to contribute
28:17to the win
28:19so
28:19you
28:19talked to me
28:47Tristan Banks now at the plate.
28:50Getting some work in the field this game,
28:52but of course he's primarily thought of as a pitcher.
28:55So much respect for the athleticism and hard work of this guy.
28:59Just impressive enough to pitch like he does,
29:01but he can really rate too.
29:03Takes a lot to get to do this kind of thing at any level in the post.
29:070-1 down.
29:10And that one ripped to left.
29:13Two down.
29:17Up next for the Angels, the third baseman.
29:19Well, a big lead like this is comfortable many times,
29:22but not when these two teams are matching up.
29:24You've got to continue to keep your head down.
29:26Play catch with that catcher.
29:27Ah, now this ball splits the gap in right center.
29:32Safely into second.
29:33He's got a double.
29:35Didn't take long to get a result for that at bat.
29:37Could be a chance here for them to start clawing back into this ballgame.
29:48Here's the second baseman, Christian Moore.
30:01And ball four to a board.
30:04Man, that's a tough one to take on the full count,
30:06but I guess he saw it really well.
30:08It's a really nice plate appearance.
30:10Here's Joe Adele.
30:20In the dirt.
30:30Two on one out.
30:33Drilled out towards left center field.
30:35That's well struck.
30:36Carrying well.
30:38Gone into the Crawford box.
30:41His home run.
30:42His 12th of the season, and they cut into the lead.
30:46It's 6-3.
30:48Maybe he's starting to break out of this mini slot.
30:51That's the type of swing that makes you think good things are coming his way.
30:56Power versus power right there.
30:58Like two locomotives colliding.
31:00Who's going to win?
31:01Pulled a really good job there by the hitter, getting the top hand working.
31:06Powers that fastball out of here.
31:08All right.
31:08We go to the top half of inning number six.
31:12So in now for the Angels, Tristan Banks.
31:22Banks launched a homer in his most recent game.
31:33Ground ball left side.
31:35It's in and out of his glove.
31:37Gets off a throw.
31:39And it's in time.
31:40It wasn't the smoothest play you'll see today, but they still get the out.
31:44More.
31:47One down.
31:48Now the third baseman, Tristan Banks.
31:51One for three.
31:59Two down.
32:05Deal one.
32:08Swing and a high fly ball left field.
32:11Alvarez moving under this one.
32:13And there's two down.
32:15The batter number four.
32:17Second baseman, Christian.
32:30Banks kept the hitting streak alive.
32:33Not one to put on the personal highlight reel necessarily,
32:36but it wasn't a big downfall for him in the loss.
32:38We can see you next time.
32:39And ourselves, we'll be ready to finish.
32:39Okay.
34:47Tristan Banks getting set for this one.
34:50Is team leading its division?
34:52Can they continue to churn out wins?
34:57It's the Los Angeles Angels taking on the Los Angeles Dodgers.
35:01First pitch coming at you right after the break.
35:05And now Tristan Banks.
35:08And now Tristan Banks.
35:08The designated hitter.
35:09Tristan Banks.
35:16Out to short.
35:20Throw to first in time.
35:25That in third.
35:26The shortstop.
35:28That's Neto.
35:30Runner at second here.
35:31One gone.
35:32The designated hitter.
35:33Tristan Banks.
35:35Now the best way to shake off yesterday's struggles is to get on the board early.
35:39They've got a guy in scoring position.
35:40They've got to find a way here to get him in.
35:43Oh, look at the stop.
35:45Throw to first.
35:46Nicely done for the out.
35:57Ooh, buy-in.
35:59You've got to remember to take the donut off the bat, partner.
36:01Singy, he's been one of the best players in baseball in terms of scoring runs.
36:05In fact, his numbers play some top five in the league.
36:08That one to first.
36:09He takes it himself to the bag, and that'll do it.
36:13Angels leave one.
36:14They're on the short end of a 4-0 score.
36:27Tristan Banks, the next to hit for the Angels.
36:30And a little something extra at stake in this at-bat, as he's hitless so far with his hitting
36:35streak in jeopardy.
36:37Sliced hard, but foul.
36:39Now these guys definitely looking for a big swing of the bat right here.
36:42Try to close that gap.
36:43But, you know, at the very least, if you could find a way to manufacture that run from first,
36:48it feels like it's really important to getting back into this ballgame.
36:54That one, 95 to finish him off.
37:05Banks, at the kind of game you'd like to avoid, which contributed to the loss.
37:10Oh, certainly a frustrating game at the plate, Boog.
37:13I think he'd be the first to tell you he's capable of better.
37:16I'm sure the loss isn't sitting well with him either.
37:28Tristan Banks, just about ready to go.
37:31His team boasting.
37:34Banks stepping in now.
37:35When the hardware says best pitcher in the game, you better come to the plate locked in, Chris.
37:41Yeah, and if you're not, Boog, he'll carve you up like a pumpkin in October.
37:46Line drive.
37:49One down.
37:59Mookie Betts will get us started.
38:01Here this afternoon, the shortstop, number 50, Mookie.
38:06Betts can claim something not many players can.
38:09He's won the World Series playing in the National League and the American League.
38:15Fall off, foul.
38:23Swing and a ball lifted in the air.
38:25Gets under it.
38:27And there's one down.
38:34Batting second.
38:35Here's Otani.
38:37Homer.
38:39Added another hit as well.
38:43And there's a foul ball.
38:52Clips the corner.
38:53No balls, two strikes.
38:56Oh, this guy is so comfortable hitting with two strikes.
38:59Even a good pitch early in the at-bat.
39:01If he's not ready to pull the trigger, he's not worried if he gets to an 0-2 count.
39:05Two down, base is empty.
39:07Will Smith steps to the plate for the Dodgers.
39:10Whoa.
39:11Smith, working for some struggles lately.
39:16Yeah, they say baseball's a game of failure, and that's true, even for long-time major leaguers.
39:21Sometimes you'll have tough strength.
39:23And that one hammered.
39:28That skips over the fence, so it's an automatic double.
39:31There's something really nice about getting yourself an automatic double like that.
39:35You get to stroll into second base without having to worry about a throw or getting your uniform dirty.
39:41And now you're just looking for the next guy to kind of do the same thing.
39:44Maybe put one in the gap so you can jog home as well.
39:47And at second.
39:49Breaking ball through there for a strike.
39:51Boy, he's realizing out there on the mound that he's got to.
39:54A swing and a miss.
39:55That retires the side.
39:57And that'll do it.
39:58Dodgers are turned away their first time around.
40:01Inning number two from L.A. coming up on the show.
40:03Nothing, nothing.
40:12Back for more of the freeway series.
40:15And at the plate for the Dodgers, Tommy Edmond.
40:18Knee high, that's him for a strike.
40:26And that is out of play.
40:29The healthy cut, tough pitch at 98, but a really good pass at the ball.
40:34Fights that one away and the count remains 0-2.
40:43Got him looking.
40:44That's a strikeout.
40:46Well, he's got great strikeout stuff on the mound, doesn't he?
40:48I mean, double-digit strikeouts in his last start.
40:51And he's just racking them up again in this one.
40:53This guy can really dominate a game out there.
40:55Not a fun assignment for any lineup.
40:58So here's Kyle Tucker now.
41:00Out in front with the swing.
41:01And that is strike one.
41:03Tucker went deep in his most recent game.
41:06Second inning here, no score.
41:11Taps softly to the right side.
41:13But it kicks foul.
41:25Here we go, Kyle.
41:33And a foul ball.
41:34He stays alive.
41:42Here we go, Kyle.
41:45Strike three, and that's two in a row.
41:48Well, he really filled up the strike zone and that at bat until that final pitch.
41:51And as a hitter, you sense that they're coming after you, not dancing around the strike zone.
41:56They want to attack.
41:57And so you kind of get into swing mode, and you have to protect the plate.
42:00That's when you become really susceptible to something that makes you chase.
42:04And that's exactly what happened right there.
42:06Next to the dish is Freddie.
42:08Swing and a foul out of play.
42:14Two down, nobody on.
42:17Ground ball up the middle.
42:19Neto.
42:20And it's a 1-2-3 inning.
42:23We'll move to the third.
42:26Banks stepping in.
42:28Pressure's on.
42:28On one swing, can flip the whole game.
42:31Yeah, and this guy's no stranger to the spotlight.
42:34He's built for moments like this.
42:37Slashed foul down the right side.
42:40Then a hook off into the seats.
42:41Look out.
42:42That ball is smoked.
42:43Man, I am so relieved that they have this netting down the lines.
42:47Just ensures safety for the fans.
42:49Last thing as a player, you want to look up and see a fan get hit.
42:52Over to Edmond.
42:53And that is that.
42:55Two left off.
42:56We move on to the bottom of inning number three.
43:00Back here in L.A.
43:02And at the plate for the Dodgers, Andy Pothets.
43:11Rolled softly, but that goes foul.
43:19Swings and misses.
43:21And it's nothing in two.
43:24Good eye on that spot.
43:26See if he can go upstairs a little bit.
43:28Make sure you miss up and out of the zone since you're heading to count one, two.
43:32Don't miss in the zone.
43:34On to first.
43:36Lead off hitter gone in the third.
43:40Batting nut.
43:41The third baseman.
43:43Ellis.
43:43And here comes Alec Baum.
43:48That's in there.
43:49Strike one.
43:54And he takes a strike.
43:56Still tied at zero.
43:58Last of the third.
44:02Ground ball.
44:03Left side.
44:04And it finds its way through for a hole.
44:08And a man aboard.
44:11Up next to the Dodgers.
44:13Not took time.
44:14Here's Betts.
44:15Fly to center his first time.
44:19Yeah, that's fouled off.
44:25Now this is in the air down the line.
44:28And that drops foul.
44:30I want to start that load a little bit sooner because it could be low.
44:34Bounced up the middle.
44:36Neto for one.
44:38What a double play that was.
44:40Inning over.
44:41No runs.
44:42One hit.
44:42No errors.
44:43And no one left.
44:44On to inning number four.
44:46No score.
44:52Banks.
44:53Ready to go.
44:54And here comes the heavy part of the lineup.
44:56He's got to bring his best stuff to the table right now.
44:59Smart sequencing and sharp command.
45:01That's the recipe.
45:06Go.
45:07That one finds the corner.
45:08That's strike two.
45:12Popped up left side.
45:14Vargas settles underneath it.
45:17And there's one down.
45:22And here's a look at how he's using his pitches in this one.
45:25Will Smith to the plate.
45:30And that one's a little bit low.
45:32And that is ball one.
45:36Pitch misses there.
45:38And that's ball two.
45:39Well, usually a high level of confidence when you're facing a young pitcher out there on the mound.
45:44In this situation, a head 2-0.
45:47He's put himself in a really good spot.
45:49In the air.
45:51Out towards left center.
45:54Two away.
45:59Up next for the Dodgers.
46:02No left fielder.
46:02And now Teoscar Hernandez.
46:05He was a strikeout victim his first time.
46:10There's a strike.
46:11If I'm at the dish right now, I am aggressive over the heart of the plate.
46:14This guy's been filling up the strike zone.
46:16So, you know you're going to get a good pitch to hit.
46:18And as nasty as his stuff is, you might as well take all three swings.
46:22Two down.
46:23Nobody on.
46:24We're here in the bottom of the fourth.
46:28Swings through that one.
46:29It's a strikeout.
46:31Dodgers go down quietly.
46:33Still behind by a count of 1-0.
46:39Back here at the ballpark.
46:40Let's check out the latest news from around the league.
46:43Second baseman, Tommy Edmonds.
46:52Bounced to the right side.
46:54Bounces into the outfield.
46:56That's a base hit.
46:57And a good start to the inning.
46:59Well, that may end up being in a bat.
47:01We go back to later on when this game is over.
47:04Just a simple ground ball the other way.
47:06They had eyes on it, man.
47:08Sometimes that's all you need to do.
47:09Just let the ball travel.
47:10Put the ball in play and just hope it finds a hole.
47:13Here's Kyle Tucker.
47:15Banks.
47:15Looking to get out of this.
47:17He's tying runoff.
47:19Well, the pressure starts to really mount now.
47:21And this is the kind of spot that shows you what a pitcher's made of.
47:39Right side.
47:40And that chance handled.
47:42Acrobatic throw for one.
47:44A sensational double play.
47:46They made that double play look so easy, but it was far from routine.
47:50That's the one thing about big leaguers.
47:52They make tough plays look simple.
47:54Base is empty after the double play.
47:56And here's Freddie Freeman.
48:10Strike two.
48:11Now this offense has just been locked down.
48:13Almost five full innings of shutout baseball.
48:17Tapped softly on the ground.
48:19Vargas.
48:20Whips it across.
48:22And Freeman is retired.
48:24And that is the inning.
48:27Banks.
48:28Locks in.
48:29If this offense were a lawnmower, he's yanking the court and hoping for a roar.
48:33And if that doesn't work, Boog, you better believe he's giving it a second pull.
48:39Hard grounder into the outfield for a knock.
48:44Man aboard on the leadoff single.
48:46Attaboy.
48:47Good job.
48:47Wait a minute.
48:48I'm sure he feels really good about that one.
48:50I know that was a ground ball, but it was absolutely hammered through the infield.
48:53That's not one you're excited to get in front of if you're in.
48:56Runner takes off.
48:58Sharp grounder.
48:59That's through for base hit.
49:00The throw to third.
49:05Safe at third as he swims around the tag.
49:08Not every runner can pull off a move like this, Boog.
49:10You have to have terrific coordination and awareness to do it effectively.
49:14And even then, it just might not work.
49:17But it all came together.
49:20Oh, now this one gets away at the plate.
49:25And safe.
49:26A close play at the plate.
49:27And that scores a run on the wild pitch.
49:34Pahez at the plate now.
49:36And that's strike one.
49:37You know, these Dodgers just lacking discipline at the plate in this ballgame.
49:40They've been chasing pitches outside the zone all game.
49:43And it's led to some frustrating moments.
49:45They've been fooled quite a bit today.
49:47That one a little bit high.
49:49Ball one.
49:50Banks.
49:51Not happy.
49:51That was called the ball.
49:52And here's a challenge.
49:54It just shaved the zone.
49:57Still two challenges left for them.
49:59One down.
50:00And now it's Alec Boehm.
50:02One for one with a single so far.
50:08Boehm.
50:09The third overall pick in the 2018 draft out of Wichita State.
50:13I'm impressed by the number of first pitch strikes.
50:16He's not afraid of contacts.
50:19Some guys, they'll nibble just because they don't want to get hit hard.
50:21That's not what we're seeing here.
50:240-2 now.
50:34Goes down looking for the strikeout.
50:36Picks up strikeout number seven.
50:39Frustrating end to the at-bat for the hitter.
50:41And I'm sure that's going to sit on him for a little while.
50:43You want to be ready to hit the fastball.
50:46Sometimes you can overthink things.
50:47And I think that was the case right there.
50:51Foul ball.
50:53Two down.
50:54Nobody on.
50:55Here in the bottom of the sixth.
50:58Swing and a miss.
50:59Struck him out.
51:00That's his eighth strikeout of the game.
51:03So, runners at the corners.
51:05Nobody out.
51:06Tristan Banks getting ready to hit.
51:09One for three.
51:13Drilled in the air out towards right center.
51:15Tucker on the move to the gap.
51:18Brings it in.
51:19Runner tags for home.
51:21He'll score the sack fly.
51:23And they take a three-run lead.
51:25They had a chance to add to their lead right there.
51:28And they did with the sack fly.
51:29Nice job of getting it done.
51:31Really good execution with that at-bat.
51:33Banks ready to work with the lead, Zingy.
51:36Yeah, this is the stretch where games are won, Boob.
51:39Nothing flashy.
51:40He needs to throw strikes and let the defense do their work.
51:45Come on, Showtime.
51:54He was late there.
51:56Strike one.
51:57It really looks like these hitters have been in between with their timing today.
52:01Good fastball.
52:01Excellent slider.
52:03But they've not been able to commit to one velocity and stay there.
52:07Throws to first in time.
52:08And one away in the bottom of the seventh.
52:10Well, Smith.
52:13Banks.
52:14Back at it.
52:15Facing the top of the order again.
52:17Never an easy task.
52:18But he's handled himself well so far.
52:20Yeah, I agree.
52:21But nothing's automatic here, Boob.
52:24One mistake could flip this whole thing.
52:42Chopped to third.
52:43But it kicks foul.
52:45Here comes the 0-1.
52:49Fouled off left side.
52:51So, the Dodgers are going to have to try and come from behind and try and get that offense going.
52:58Battling here as he fouls it away.
53:00No, I think the key.
53:02I mean, if he can get through one more inning, anything after that, a hitter or two, is bonus.
53:07But they should be lined up good enough to get to the finish line.
53:11Foul ball.
53:12It stays nothing in two.
53:20Called strike three.
53:21The knuckleball buckled his knees.
53:24Chris third time through the order.
53:25And a couple of quick outs for the starter.
53:28Yeah, he's been very frugal today.
53:30Economical with the pitch count.
53:32Here's Teoscar Hernandez.
53:47Closed, but called a ball.
53:48And it's one and one.
53:51The Halos leading by three.
53:54Here at the bottom of the seven.
53:56The 1-1 is fouled off.
54:04This one popped up.
54:07You, you, go ball.
54:10And that is that.
54:14Still in total command on the mound with seven shutout innings.
54:18You're watching Angels Baseball on the show, L.A.
54:25Back now, new pitcher on the mound as we roll into the bottom of the eighth.
54:29Taylor Saucedo.
54:31And he's had a struggle so far this year, as you can see, the inflated ERA.
54:35Looking to bring that down a little bit right here.
54:41First and second.
54:42No outs.
54:44Tristan Banks.
54:45The next to hit for the Angels.
54:49Foul ball there.
54:59And that is in for a strike.
55:01And the count is 0-2.
55:11Hit on the ground.
55:12Might be two.
55:13To Pets at second for one.
55:15On to Freddie.
55:16Double play.

55:29That's a thing of beauty from start to finish.
55:30Banks gave them a good performance at the plate and on the hill.
55:34Games like this show that he can add a lot of value to any roster.
55:37You never know how he's going to impact a game, but it's always fun to watch him out there.
55:41But doesn't have time to try to match him out there.
55:50I think he's going to do that.
55:52But you know what a good events.
55:56Perhaps a specific event, but he can do that he can do that.
56:01There are some huge people behind it.
56:02No합 democratic video.
56:02A ticket of Cleabannius.
