00:01Orioles and Giants getting ready to commence a three-game series here.
00:05It's a lights-out pitching matchup.
00:07Blake Snell, you mentioned who's looking like a Cy Young over the last 12, a 145 ERA.
00:11And Albert Suarez, maybe the American League comeback player of the year.
00:15The former Giant has been great six of his last seven.
00:18Snell and Suarez, two offenses looking for a breakthrough.
00:21Albert Suarez, who's seven years after pitching for the Giants, is now throwing against them.
00:28Here we go, Mike Yastrzemski, who last time we were here, and it's been a while,
00:33Mike had a very memorable series against the Orioles.
00:36He hits that one high and deep to right field, and he's doing it again.
00:40It is gone.
00:41Mike Yastrzemski starts the game by going deep.
00:46Oh, my goodness.
00:47You got to let your team know what you missed out on.
00:50And let's take a look.
00:51A lot of four-seamers from Suarez right here.
00:53Gets the four-seamer up right in the honey hole,
00:56and that's that beautiful left-handed swing.
00:59No doubt about that one.
01:00Trot the bases, Yastrzemski.
01:02Yeah, buddy.
01:02Here's Fitzgerald hitting right side.
01:04Suarez strikes out Fitzgerald with a nasty cutter.
01:07Now here's Lamont Wade, Jr.
01:09He lights that one up the middle, base head.
01:12There's his girlfriend there, happy.
01:14Ramos to third.
01:15Here's Rivera, one of those new players.
01:17Soto and Mayo.
01:18Now those guys were here opening day.
01:20They're all here for an inning-inning double play right now.
01:23Man, if he can just get through the early innings and be efficient,
01:26he has been a dominator.
01:28Yeah, devastating fastball-curveball combo.
01:30And it is elite, elite, dominating left-handed stuff when he has command.
01:36Austin Slater will lead off against his old teammate,
01:38the reigning National League Cy Young winner Blake Snow.
01:41The pitch to him.
01:43Strike three called.
01:44Changeup on the outside corner.
01:46Now Adley Rutschman.
01:47Rutschman to right.
01:49Yastrzemski's got room in front of the 21-foot-high wall.
01:52Two down.
01:52And here is Gunnar Henderson to pitch to him.
01:55Strike three called on the outside corner with a fastball at the knees.
01:59Three up, three down, a shut-down inning for Blake Snow.
02:02Back-to-back walks of McCray and Walton.
02:05And the Giants have the bases loaded now with one out,
02:08and Brett Wisely coming up.
02:09Yeah, this is not what you expected to see from Suarez,
02:12who had given up two runs or less in six of his last seven outings.
02:17And Wisely lines that one to right.
02:19It's going to be caught by Santander.
02:21Bailey will tag, and he'll come in to score.
02:24It's two-nothing Giants.
02:26And a good job by Brett Wisely.
02:27Absolutely.
02:28That is execution right there.
02:30Now Ustrzemski, he lines that one into right field.
02:32That's a base hit.
02:33Here comes McCray around third.
02:35Santander up with a throw.
02:37It is late.
02:38McCray scores.
02:39Three-nothing Giants.
02:41Yes, continuing to feel good here in Baltimore.
02:45McCray, the speed at second.
02:46This is a shallow right field, so Santander has a good arm.
02:50It's going to be bang-bang, but McCray can absolutely float.
02:53Yes, loves it three-nothing, baby.
02:55Tyler Fitzgerald pops it up.
02:57Henderson sprinting out in the shallow left.
03:00We'll clean it up.
03:01But the Giants have scored in each of the first two innings,
03:04and they've got a three-nothing lead.
03:06Well, Blake Snow's got himself a three-nothing lead
03:09as we go to the bottom of the second.
03:11And one away.
03:12Here's Eloy Jimenez hitting right side.
03:13Got it.
03:14Fastball, 97 miles an hour, third strikeout for Snow.
03:18That is just a perfectly placed fastball.
03:21Emmanuel Rivera up to the plate.
03:24Rivera floats a changeup, and to center field, there's a base hit.
03:28Orioles' first baserunner tonight, Emmanuel Rivera.
03:31And it gets Cedric Mullins up to the plate.
03:34Rivera goes 3-2, and he got him.
03:36That was ball four, but Snow got the chase on the slider.
03:40That's four strikeouts for Snow.
03:42One hit, no runs.
03:43Kobe Mayo leading off for the Orioles in the last of the third.
03:46The Giants ahead, 3-0.
03:482-2 offering.
03:49That's right in there.
03:50Strike three call.
03:51And that just seemed to freeze Mayo.
03:54Two down.
03:55We'll flip the lineup back to Austin Slater with two outs.
03:57He strikes out swinging on the Blake Snell fastball.
04:00Wow.
04:01That was overpowering.
04:02And Grant McCray leads off here in the top of the fourth.
04:05Down the right field line, Santander, no.
04:08And McCray's going to test him, no.
04:10He took a big turn as Santander got the ball back.
04:13Had he juggled it, McCray would have been well on his way to second base.
04:16Donovan Walton is in.
04:18There goes McCray.
04:20Swing and a miss.
04:21The throw.
04:21Rutchman has got a great arm, but he didn't have really much of a chance to throw on McCray on
04:25that one.
04:26And up the middle, into center field.
04:29Get him over, get him in.
04:32McCray sort of got himself over.
04:34And on the next pitch, Walton gets him in, 4-0 Giants.
04:38And they're playing with some enthusiasm, some energy tonight.
04:42This is Giants club is really looking good so far here in Baltimore.
04:45One out in the fourth, though.
04:46And here comes manager Brandon Hyde.
04:4982 pitches for Albert Suarez.
04:51He has had to work tonight.
04:53Let's see how the Giants treat Keegan Aiken.
04:55So it's two outs for Tyler Fitzgerald.
04:58Strike three, Aiken gets Fitzgerald.
05:01Rising fastball ends, a one-run San Francisco fourth.
05:04So Blake Snell, well, this is about as good as we've seen anybody against the Orioles this year.
05:09And Emmanuel Rivera's soft single, the only blemish with six strikeouts on the board through 10 outs.
05:15Here's Gunnar Henderson.
05:17That is strike three with the changeout.
05:20And Blake Snell is not the pleasant at bat for the opposing hitters.
05:24Anthony Santander now, 0-2 the count.
05:28Here is Walton.
05:29Got plenty of time.
05:30Santander's a big, lumbering guy.
05:32That's a nine-pitch shutdown inning for Blake Snell.
05:35Bottom of the fifth inning in downtown Baltimore.
05:37Eloy Jimenez.
05:38Strike three called on the outside corner.
05:41That's the eighth strikeout so far.
05:43And Snell has got everything working.
05:45The fastball location.
05:46Here's the changeup.
05:47Work you quick.
05:48Speed you up.
05:48Slow you down.
05:49Good morning, good afternoon, good night.
05:51And I'll bring up Emmanuel Rivera.
05:53That is his ninth strikeout.
05:56And he has settled in in the command.
05:58He's calibrated to this mound.
06:00Feeling it tonight.
06:01Ball four.
06:02We need some help.
06:03Take that.
06:04Yeah.
06:04Oh, Cedric.
06:05You're really looking at the only speedster.
06:08Bobby Male looking for his first Major League home run.
06:12Mullins on the run.
06:13Bailey snap throw to second.
06:14Just a little late.
06:16That is some pop time by Patrick Bailey.
06:19But Mullins timed it well.
06:20First time the Orioles have gotten a run to second base in the game.
06:23Swing and a miss.
06:24Strike three.
06:25Went back to the changeup and got him.
06:27Ten strikeouts for Snell in five innings.
06:31Slater at first.
06:32And Rushman digs in.
06:34One out.
06:35Strike three called.
06:36That was no doubt a beautiful strike.
06:39Down the middle.
06:40Bottom of the zone.
06:41Four seam.
06:41Just catches.
06:42Stays on plane.
06:43And Rushman is going to look at that and be like,
06:45what am I complaining about?
06:46Now Gunnar Henderson struck him out.
06:49He's gotten 12 strikeouts in six shutout innings,
06:53allowing just a one hit.
06:55Good riddance.
06:56Get out of here, man.
06:57That was, I'll tell you what, the ultimate tip of the cap.
06:59That is about as dominant a six-inning performance
07:02as we've seen all year.
07:03And so both teams will be into their bullpens
07:05as Burt Smith replaces a very good Keegan Aik.
07:08And one down.
07:09Here comes Yastrzemski.
07:100-2.
07:11Swung on and missed.
07:13Smith gets a strikeout.
07:15Yastrzemski finally retired.
07:17Tyler Fitzgerald will come up.
07:19Yeah.
07:20That'll do it.
07:21A lot of punch outs tonight.
07:2398 at the knees.
07:24This is a really nice ovation for Heston Kerstad
07:27because Orioles fans have been waiting a while
07:30to see him back and healthy.
07:32Hoping he'll be healthy and provide some power
07:34for the stretch run.
07:36Kerstad will do just that here.
07:38A line drive single on the seven.
07:39Another pitch hit for an Oriole batter this year.
07:42They've been so, so good off the bench.
07:45And now Ryan O'Hearn got him.
07:47Jelly uses the curveball to strike out O'Hearn.
07:51Cedric in the right center field off the end of the bat.
07:55And Yastrzemski collects it.
07:56So two pitchers get three outs out of the San Francisco bullpen.
08:00Craig Kimbrell is going to come on, get some work.
08:03Here's McCray hitting left side.
08:05Two walks, a single.
08:06He's stolen a base.
08:07He's scored two runs.
08:08It's that one past the dive of the third baseman.
08:12You said it, Dave, having a good night.
08:14He takes off.
08:15Man, what a jump.
08:17Craig Kimbrell had no clue.
08:19And Grant McCray, he could have crawled into second.
08:22That one goes to the backstop.
08:24Grant McCray will go to third.
08:26That's a big 90 feet right there.
08:28So it's a walk for Walton.
08:30Now a bunt wisely puts it down.
08:33The throw home.
08:34He's safe at home.
08:35McCray is just too fast.
08:37And the Giants playing great baseball tonight.
08:40It's 5-0.
08:41And that is a walk to load the bases.
08:44Second of the inning.
08:45So two down, here's Lamont Wade, Jr.
08:47Who rips one into right field.
08:48Base hit.
08:50In to score.
08:51Walton right behind him wisely.
08:53He scores.
08:54And Lamont coming home.
08:56Is having a game.
08:57His second hit.
08:58He knocks in two.
09:00He's got the smile going.
09:01It's 7-0 Giants.
09:04So the team that had trouble scoring runs, not the case tonight.
09:07Three runs in here in the ninth inning.
09:09And Ramos drives one.
09:10Deep left center field.
09:12Out into that triangle.
09:13It is off the bottom of the wall.
09:15Yastrzemski in to score.
09:16Round to third.
09:17Wade Ramos has an RBI double.
09:20It is 8-0 Giants.
09:23And this frustrating second half for Craig Kimbrough continues.
09:27Brandon Hyatt has to come out and do what he doesn't want to do.
09:29Back to the bullpen here in the ninth.
09:31In a second half full of struggles.
09:34For Craig Kimbrough, that was the worst.
09:36Four runs he's charged for right now.
09:38He's still responsible for two men in scoring position for Matt Bowman.
09:42Another base hit for the Giants.
09:44Conforto.
09:45And he knocks in two more.
09:47Going to cash in all of Kimbrough's stranded runners.
09:5010-0 Giants.
09:53Popped up by Bailey.
09:56Henderson away out there.
09:58That's the end of the inning.
10:00Six across for the Giants.
10:02Second and third.
10:04Trailing out 10-0.
10:05And now Cedric Mullins.
10:07Right back to Tristan.
10:09He's going to run it to first and the game is over.
10:12The Giants have pitched a shutout tonight.
10:15And it was a really tough night.
10:1710-0 the Giants.
10:18And the Orioles drop the opener in this series.
