00:01Big game, Dean Kramer's on the mound tonight.
00:03The Orioles need a big win.
00:05The magic number is still six to clinch a postseason berth.
00:09Won his last three decisions, three no decisions.
00:13He pitches well.
00:14He has to do that again tonight.
00:16Mike Yastrzemski with a leadoff home run
00:18and has been great in this ballpark against his old organization.
00:22Yeah, his first pitch swing, drives one.
00:24Deep right field.
00:26Gone!
00:27He's done it again!
00:30And this time he did it on the very first pitch of the game.
00:33That is the 10th leadoff home run allowed by Oriole pitching this year.
00:38It was the second pitch of the game yesterday.
00:41It's the first today, and it's a nightmarish start.
00:44Number 17 for Yastrzemski,
00:46and before you can even spell Yastrzemski, it's 1-0.
00:51The righty, young Hayden Bursong.
00:53And Hayden Bursong, 3-5 with a 4-7.
00:5657 innings, 68 strikeouts to 36 blocks.
01:00Gunner Henderson leads off.
01:02That one popped up.
01:04Ramos, I think, was having a hard time seeing it, but he's got it now.
01:08Out number one.
01:10Mullins hits a little slow roller.
01:12Lamont's going to take it to the bag himself.
01:14Two down.
01:15Two down, nobody on.
01:173-2 pitch.
01:18Swing and a hard ground ball right to wait at first,
01:20and he's going to run it to the bag for the out.
01:24Three up, three down.
01:25Shutdown inning for Bursong.
01:27For the Giants, it'll be Grant McRae to lead off.
01:30Left-handed hitter.
01:311-0.
01:32And there is a big bouncer out to first, fielded at the waist by O'Hearn.
01:37He'll tag up at first base and get McRae.
01:41And he'll send Casey Schmidt up to the plate.
01:442-2.
01:45Little number out in front of home plate.
01:47McCann pounces on it.
01:48Little spin throw onto first base.
01:51Retires Schmidt.
01:52And there is out number two of the second inning.
01:55Donovan Walton.
01:55High leg kick.
01:56And Kramer's first is put in the air.
01:58Center field.
01:59Jogging to his right, Mullins.
02:02He's in medium left center field.
02:04He makes the catch.
02:05And there is a 1-2-3 second inning for Dean Kramer.
02:08A fast one as well.
02:09And Heston Kerstad leads off for Baltimore here in the last of the second.
02:13Strike three call.
02:15And that's Uncle Charlie.
02:17Out number two.
02:18And here comes O'Hearn.
02:20Hard ground ball to third.
02:21Back to his right.
02:22The backhanded is Schmidt.
02:24He makes it off balance.
02:25Sidearm throw to first and puts it right there.
02:27Beautiful play and a beautiful throw by Schmidt to retire O'Hearn.
02:33Just like that.
02:34One away.
02:34Third inning.
02:35Giants ahead.
02:351-0.
02:36And here comes Yastrzemski.
02:38Swung on and missed.
02:40This time Kramer wins.
02:41A strikeout of Mike Yastrzemski.
02:44Second punch out for Dean.
02:46And two down for Lamont Wade Jr.
02:481-1 pitch on the ground.
02:49Back to first baseman O'Hearn.
02:51He shifted.
02:52Throws to Kramer who covers.
02:533-1.
02:54Wade retired.
02:55And it's another three up, three down for Dean Kramer.
02:58He's put away seven consecutive Giants.
03:00And Emmanuel Rivera takes a walk to lead off the Orioles.
03:03Their first baserunner of the evening.
03:05And here comes Jackson Holliday.
03:07Orioles put the tying run at first.
03:09Right side Jackson Holliday.
03:11And Rivera will go ahead and canter to third.
03:14He was off on the pitch.
03:15He's there easily.
03:17And runners on the corners for the Orioles.
03:19The tie is 90 feet from home for James McCann.
03:24The Orioles trying to snap this 12-inning scoreless streak now.
03:29And they can do it without needing a hit.
03:31Though a hit would be lovely to keep this train moving.
03:34Throws it again.
03:35James does put this one in play.
03:37Driving it to the wall.
03:38And right.
03:38And it's off the glove of Yastrzemski.
03:41Holliday got a late break.
03:42He'll make it into third.
03:44And Rivera scores McCann with a wall ball double that just kept drifting and drifting.
03:51And finally Mr. Splash can fire up the birdbath as the Orioles tie it.
03:57First out for the O's.
03:58It'll be Cedric Mullins trying to keep the chains moving.
04:01And a ground ball to the right side.
04:03That will bring in the second run.
04:05That will give the Orioles their first lead of the series.
04:08And in fact their first lead since Saturday.
04:11Cedric Mullins with an RBI.
04:12Jackson Holliday is in.
04:14And it's 2-1 O's.
04:16Seven straight retired for Dean.
04:19Orioles trying to reclaim their mojo.
04:21And the bases are loaded with nobody out.
04:24So now young Grant McCray comes up.
04:26And now the Giants are primed to answer back.
04:28Bases loaded no outs.
04:29Little tapper up to third base side.
04:32The throw to the plate for the fourth side.
04:34No!
04:34He said he came off home plate.
04:37Limpke said he came off home plate.
04:39And it's a run for Ramos at least for now.
04:43Oh and his foot's not on a home plate.
04:44His foot is about half an inch.
04:46It's right in front of home plate.
04:48It's parallel to home plate.
04:49But it's about half an inch off.
04:51Wow what a break.
04:52Bases still loaded.
04:54Still nobody out for Casey Schmidt.
04:56So now the Giants can think big in it.
04:58Sharply hit it into left field.
05:00A base hit.
05:01Conforto's in.
05:02Here comes Fitzgerald with his great speed.
05:04Two runs have scored.
05:06McCray stops at second.
05:08It's a three run inning.
05:10Big hit there for Casey Schmidt to put the Giants back ahead.
05:15It's 4-2 Giants.
05:1673 pitches for Dean.
05:18And again everything has been great.
05:21Michael Conforto leads on for the Giants here in the sixth inning.
05:25Conforto blasts one down the right field line.
05:27It is gone.
05:30Straight down the line.
05:31Up over the big wall.
05:33Michael Conforto with a scorching line drive homer.
05:38It's 5-2 Giants.
05:41Two home runs against Dean who by the way had not allowed a home run in the last 143 batters
05:46he'd faced coming into tonight.
05:48For the Giants ahead 5-2.
05:50Runner at first Couser.
05:51Left-hander O'Hearn coming up.
05:53And O'Hearn slices one the other way.
05:56Ramos won't get there.
05:57It's down and into the corner.
05:59And here comes Couser racing around third.
06:02And here comes Couser to score standing.
06:06Ryan O'Hearn give it a left-on-left opportunity.
06:10Lashes one the other way and it's 5-3.
06:13Now for manager Brandon Hyde with runners at first and third.
06:17He's going to call on Austin Slater to pinch hit here for Jackson Holiday.
06:22Here's the pitch from Miller and he strikes out Slater swinging 97 mile an hour fastball.
06:28Well the Orioles get a run but only the one.
06:31Giants with a 5-3 lead.
06:33They have two men on.
06:34Runners at first and third.
06:35And two men out.
06:37The right-hander hitting Ramos coming up.
06:39And the right-hander Bowman in from the bullpen.
06:41He's ready so is Bowman.
06:43Payoff.
06:43Swung on and missed and he got him.
06:46Bowman struts off the mound.
06:48Ramos with an aggressive look back at Bowman but he's not paying any mind.
06:53A strikeout puts the Giants to rest and keeps the Orioles close.
06:57So they'll call on Heston Kerstad here to see if he can keep it going.
07:02McCann 90 feet from home.
07:04Santander is the tying run at first.
07:06They're two outs.
07:07In the dirt it skips away but it hit Kerstad.
07:11There's another bad break.
07:13It would have been a wild pitch to bring in a run.
07:16Instead it's a hit by pitch to load the bases.
07:20So the Orioles lose a run, get a base runner.
07:23They're full with two outs in a 5-3 game.
07:26And they're going to look at this.
07:28Definitely looked like it hit them.
07:29That's what it looks like in the replay.
07:31It's pretty clear.
07:31Command center in New York.
07:33After review, the call on the field is confirmed.
07:35The runner was hit by the pitch.
07:37He will go to first base, third base, second base.
07:41So bases will stay loaded here for the Orioles but it's two outs and you hate that because
07:46you would have preferred the alternate that brought McCann home and brought you one run closer.
07:50The Orioles now have Couser up with the bases loaded.
07:54So there's a high drive to left going back into that newly opened up part of the ballpark
08:00and shy of the winning track.
08:02Ramos makes the catch.
08:04The inning is over.
08:05That's the second time that an Oriole might have lost a home run with the new dimensions
08:09of this ballpark.
08:10Another night, another scoreless outing combined by the Giants bullpen so far.
08:14Ryan Walker, who has been not exactly perfect but real close to it since he's become the closer
08:22to this Giants team.
08:23And the Orioles are one out away from a 2-8 stretch in their last 10th, a third straight
08:28loss from another night where they may not be able to put a dent into the playoff magic number.
08:34Mullins on the ground to second, backhanded by Walton.
08:37Ball game over.
08:38Giants make it two in a row here in Baltimore against the playoff contending Orioles.
08:44It was 5-3 the final score here tonight and it was another team effort.
08:48The Oriole bats better but not good enough.
08:51They are 84-68 and they'll have to wait one more day to try to find these good vibes.
