00:01Park of the Park night at Globe Life Field.
00:04Whatever it takes to change things up,
00:06the Rangers and the Giants,
00:07second game of a three-game series,
00:09and the Rangers desperately trying to snap a six-game losing streak.
00:13It was a busy day yesterday.
00:14Today feels more calm, more normal,
00:16but we still have this wave of younger guys
00:18that are going to get opportunities.
00:20And on the mound for the Rangers tonight is McKenzie Gore,
00:234-7-7 ERA, last start after the first inning.
00:28Great. Got to get through that first inning with a zero on the board.
00:31One-two pitch and a bouncing ball hit towards short.
00:34Long throw for Lopez,
00:35and he gets Posabe to get the ball game started.
00:38One away, and here's Jung-Hoo Lee who had a big day yesterday.
00:41Two home runs and a single, three RBIs.
00:44There's a bounce down first.
00:46Nice backhand pick down there by Jack Peterson.
00:49He makes the play himself, and there are two gone.
00:52Oh, there we go.
00:53Two good plays defensively to start this one.
00:56So, Adamas now coming up.
00:58Adamas, who had a quiet game last night to start the series,
01:01pulls one into left field, base hit.
01:02He was not waiting around tonight.
01:04Yeah, worked a walk yesterday,
01:07but didn't get a base hit right here, right off the gates.
01:09Gets the pitch he wants, fastball down.
01:12Giants get a base runner here in the first.
01:14Modest lead at first.
01:16And that one lined out to left field,
01:17and that one chases Lankford back several steps,
01:21but he makes the catch, and the inning is done.
01:24Eleven pitch first inning.
01:27Well, nicely done by Gord.
01:28The guy who has been in the big leagues earlier this year
01:31went down to the minor leagues, Hunter, to be a starter.
01:33This is his first major league start of the season.
01:36And in the land of opportunity,
01:37we now get to see Blades hit well as a starter.
01:39And the bullpen, three ERA, 12 innings,
01:4210 strikeouts, just three walks.
01:43Peterson, the batter, left-handed.
01:45And he takes low.
01:47So a walk to open the game here tonight.
01:51Lankford swings and pops it up.
01:54Left side of the infield, it's Koss coming down the line,
01:57and just a step in fair territory in front of the bag.
02:00He'll make the catch.
02:02There's one out and one on.
02:03No score, and Corey Seager coming up.
02:06He's ripped the first, and that goes off of Devers' glove,
02:09and slowly into foul ground.
02:11Everybody's safe.
02:12You don't always see it,
02:14but there is one of the great advantages of really hard contact.
02:18108 miles per hour, and Devers shaking off his left hand.
02:22Wow.
02:23It was a smash.
02:24And he, of course, holding the runner at first,
02:27he's in a little bit, and he just reached up.
02:30He got a decent amount of glove on him,
02:32but it almost took his glove off his hand as it rolled past him.
02:37So an opportunity now for Nemo with two men on,
02:40one out first inning.
02:42Boy, would the Rangers love to get that first run of the game.
02:44If the Rangers were to score first tonight,
02:46it would give them, brace yourself, a lead.
02:50They haven't had one of those in 40 innings.
02:52This one lined into right field.
02:54That's a base hit.
02:55Peterson being waved around third.
02:57He'll score easily into second base,
03:00standing up with the RBI double.
03:03Brandon Nemo gets the Rangers in front.
03:05It's one to nothing, and the Rangers lead.
03:10Well, this is fun.
03:12Tidwell throws a hanging, breaking ball, belt high.
03:16Nemo crushes it into right field.
03:19Terrific job all the way around so far.
03:21And now in a spot where a simple base hit could play two more,
03:26and they get one of their hottest to the plate,
03:28and Ezekiel Duran, there's a soft ground ball through the right side base hit.
03:33It gets another run in.
03:35Nemo stopped at third.
03:36It's two-nothing Rangers.
03:39Well, they had the infield in, and it was just enough for Zeke to sneak it through.
03:44Rangers still in business with two on the board.
03:49I mean, why not demoralize the Giants in the first inning?
03:54Runners at the corners, and Carter on the first pitch.
03:56It's a high pop-up.
03:58This might be playable in foul ground.
04:00Koss is over, and in front of the Giants dugout, he'll make the catch.
04:04And Blake Tidwell needed that.
04:07Not only an out without a run scoring.
04:10So Duran will get an unchallenged stolen base, his ninth steal of the year.
04:14Diaz out to left center.
04:17McRae, with room, out number three.
04:22Tidwell gets through the first inning.
04:23We'll see if now he can settle in.
04:25Rangers, though, ahead two-nothing.
04:27And the Giants down by two here.
04:29I have two on with nobody out now.
04:31Not the start to the inning that Gore wanted after his team just gave him a couple of runs.
04:35A man making his big league debut, Eddie Leonard.
04:41And he swings and misses, and that strikeout is the first down of the inning,
04:46making the first strikeout tonight for Gore.
04:48That is his first big league at bat.
04:50Well, it was lengthy at least.
04:52He made Gore work.
04:53But he strikes out for the first out here in the top of the second.
04:57Three-two.
04:58And a swing and a miss.
05:00McRae strikes out.
05:01And Gore has bounced back with back-to-back Ks.
05:04Well, he's close to getting out of this situation.
05:07He throws a breaking ball above the zone.
05:10McRae was late on that one, too.
05:13This would be huge for Gore and huge for the Rangers if you can get out of first and second.
05:19Nobody out.
05:20Put a zero on the board.
05:21And now the 1-0 pitch, and it's bounced to third.
05:24Charged by Durant.
05:25He has it on the run.
05:26Snaps a throw to first.
05:27In time to get Kosh for the final out in the inning.
05:31And that is a great bounce back for McKenzie Gore.
05:35The Giants have the tying run on here with two men out for Daniel Susak.
05:40Here's the 1-1.
05:41And a bouncer back toward the mound.
05:43Just past Gore.
05:45Fielded out there by Foscue.
05:47And he chases Devers to second base.
05:50Doesn't matter whether or not he ever got to him
05:52because Devers was running a route not allowed in this league.
05:56Another opportunity for the Giants, but Gore once again gets through it.
06:00Tidwell working quickly.
06:02And he has settled in after that long first inning where he threw 32 pitches.
06:08High pop-up right near home plate.
06:10Susak turns around.
06:11He finds it.
06:12And now he heads into foul territory behind home plate.
06:16And he makes the catch for out number one.
06:18Another pop-up.
06:20Who wants it?
06:21Koss will make the call.
06:23Two down.
06:25And after the Rangers had four of the first five batters reach,
06:28they've had only one base runner against Tidwell since then.
06:33As he's retired 13 out of 14.
06:35And here is Nicky Lopez.
06:37Swings, bounce one toward the middle.
06:39Backhanded by the second baseman.
06:40Basabe is throw bounces a couple of times.
06:42And it's late.
06:44Nicky Lopez breaks out of the over with an infield hit.
06:48But has Basabe just got nothing on that throw going to his right?
06:53Three-two.
06:54Strike three called.
06:56Does he get a challenge?
06:57It looked like he was going to.
06:59Yeah, Foskey wanted to challenge it.
07:00And he did ask for the challenge.
07:02We'll see if this is out number three.
07:04And it is right on the corner.
07:06And I mean right on the corner.
07:08That is a terrific pitch by Blade Tidwell.
07:11And he picks up his third strikeout.
07:13And that ends the inning.
07:15Give the 25-year-old on the mound a lot of credit.
07:18He, after the really tough first inning, 32 pitches, two runs against,
07:22has settled down and throwing the ball where he wants to a lot more.
07:26Rangers have a man on.
07:27Tidwell trying to finish off the fifth inning.
07:30Nemo getting jammed.
07:31Pops it up towards third.
07:33Koss running in.
07:34And he'll make the catch.
07:35It wasn't hit very high in the air.
07:37Blade Tidwell finishes five tonight on pitch number 100.
07:42Gets through it.
07:43Mackenzie Gore in the second inning.
07:44Two guys on.
07:45Nobody out.
07:46We were concerned that that could possibly be that kind of big blow-up inning for Mackenzie Gore.
07:51He was able to get out of that.
07:53And now he's headed into the sixth inning with a shutout.
07:56There's a bouncer over second.
07:57Lopez is there.
07:59He'll let it go.
08:00And out is Devers.
08:02One away here in the sixth.
08:04Daniel Susak, the batter.
08:05One, two.
08:07And there's a bouncer right side of the infield.
08:10Peterson played it perfectly.
08:12And they get Susak.
08:14If he gets six shutout, I think you'll have to be pretty happy with that.
08:18Fly ball, center field.
08:21Carter converging.
08:22With Nemo, but Carter stays with it.
08:24He makes the catch and the inning is done.
08:25And how about that?
08:27He retires the last seven that he saw tonight.
08:30Six shutout inning for Mackenzie Gore.
08:33It's 2-0.
08:33One of the newest Rangers, Chase Silseth, coming on here for Texas.
08:38Terrific job by Mackenzie Gore.
08:41So two men out now.
08:42Runner at third.
08:43Texas up 2-0.
08:45Slavy Spasave.
08:460 for 3 tonight.
08:47Can he come through in another big moment?
08:50Late and close.
08:51He drives that one down the left field line.
08:54And gone!
08:58Wasabe ties the game with one swing.
09:02Wow.
09:03This kid is doing it.
09:04Can he?
09:05Yes, he can.
09:07Wasabe.
09:09Mr. Clutch so far since he's been here.
09:13And that is a huge home run to tie this ball game.
09:17It's his sixth game.
09:18He's already hit three home runs.
09:21They've all been big.
09:23Yeesh.
09:24Talk about clutch.
09:26New ball game from Arlington.
09:29Masabe's two-run homer makes it a 2-2 game here in the bottom of the seventh.
09:33Caught by Adamas.
09:35What a catch.
09:38He's got hops.
09:40And that was a nice seal in the first out of this inning here after you tie the ball game
09:46up.
09:46Getting a quick out.
09:47So they're loaded for Ezekiel Duran.
09:50Langford, Seager, and Nemo the runners.
09:52There's a swing and that's hit out to right field.
09:55And that is over the head of Lee.
09:57And up against the wall.
09:59Langford is in.
10:00Seager coming to the plate.
10:02The throws up the line.
10:04A two-run double by Ezekiel Duran.
10:08And the Rangers take the 4-2 lead.
10:11Well, look who does it again for the Texas Rangers.
10:16And Ezekiel Duran has the shirts coming off here at the ballpark.
10:21Celebrate.
10:22Good times.
10:24Come on.
10:24Rangers have taken a 4-2 lead.
10:27They've got a chance to break it open a bit.
10:29Bases loaded.
10:30Only one out.
10:31Got it.
10:33Oh, so close to a swing that would put the game away.
10:38And he strikes out.
10:39Houser coming in to try and keep this one within striking distance.
10:444-2 Texas.
10:44The bases still loaded here in the bottom of the eighth inning.
10:47Ground throw strikes.
10:48A check swing.
10:49He put it in play.
10:51Devers will flip to Houser.
10:52Houser who gets to the bag for the yard.
10:54So the Giants have a shot in the ninth inning.
10:58Gives him a chance to give the ball to maybe the guy who's been the best on this team this
11:02year
11:03all the way around.
11:04Our extended insurance call to the bullpen brings in Jacob Latz.
11:07Oh, it's great to see Jacob Latz in a save situation.
11:131-2.
11:14Swing and a miss.
11:15He strikes out swinging.
11:17Latz gets his first man here tonight.
11:19The two-strike pitch.
11:20Gilbert swings.
11:21Line drive.
11:22Base hit into left center.
11:24Just past the outstretched glove of the shortstop, Lopez.
11:28He threw the fastball and he missed.
11:31The two young lefty hitting outfielders have reached base against this all-star closer.
11:37And the first one jumps away from Diaz.
11:41Off his glove.
11:42And so now the tying runs are in scoring position.
11:46Well, what a spot now.
11:47There is nothing easy about it.
11:49Eldridge has a little power.
11:51Eldridge into right field.
11:53Base hit.
11:54Gilbert scores.
11:55Here comes McCray.
11:57He scores.
11:59Tie game.
12:01Oh, my goodness.
12:03And McCray comes in and scores.
12:05Fired up.
12:07And the Giants' offense, the young guys, answer with some elite at-bats.
12:12All three left on left.
12:14Slider.
12:14Two strikes painted away.
12:16It's a 4-4 tie.
12:18And at the bottom of the ninth, 26-year-old right-hander Dylan Smith.
12:21Out of Stafford, Texas.
12:24And the University of Alabama.
12:26On the pitch for the Giants.
12:27Jake Berger first up in this 4-4 tie.
12:30And he hammers that ball out on the left field.
12:33That's a base hit.
12:35Berger can cruise to second.
12:37He has a leadoff double in the ninth.
12:40That's a good start.
12:42Steam roll it up.
12:44Get your double.
12:46Great job.
12:47As Lankford swings, hits a high fly ball to right.
12:50Straight away, Lee moving back, setting himself up for a throw.
12:53He'll make the catch.
12:54Berger tagging.
12:55And then he stops.
12:56The throw to Adamas.
12:57Back to second.
12:58And he's safe.
12:59And it was close.
13:01Lee made a great throw to the cutoff man.
13:04Adamas, who flipped it to Basabe at the bag.
13:07The attentional pass to Seager.
13:10The 2-2.
13:11Nemo swings and misses.
13:13Struck him out.
13:1596 with a fastball in on the hands.
13:19Two gone in the bottom of the ninth.
13:21So here's Zeke.
13:22Great numbers with runners on base.
13:25Smith's 2-2 pitch.
13:27There's a fly ball.
13:28Right field.
13:29Lee racing back.
13:30And he falls down.
13:33And this one is over.
13:39Durant has won it.
13:42The Rangers pull a rabbit out of the hat in the ninth inning.
13:48Lee was there.
13:49Oh, my goodness.
13:51Falls down.
13:52And the Rangers steal one from the Giants.
