00:00:30Baseball on MLB The Show.
00:00:32It's the Tampa Bay Rays going up against the Colorado Rockies.
00:00:37First pitch coming your way next.
00:00:44Now the starting pitcher in this one, Jose Quintana.
00:00:48And Singy, it's unique these days, but he's more of a pitch-to-contact type of guy.
00:00:53Yeah, Boogie, he doesn't rely too heavily on the strikeout.
00:00:56He knows he needs to miss barrels, get some soft contact, let the defense do work behind him.
00:01:01And I think a guy like that can keep a good tempo, don't give hitters time to adjust or think.
00:01:07They can move to a ballgame and you look off, they're in line for a quality start.
00:01:11We'll see what he's got in this one.
00:01:19Right through there for a strike.
00:01:35Swing and a ball popped in the air.
00:01:37That one gets down for a hit.
00:01:39So a man on base to start the inning.
00:01:43Hey, whatever works, right?
00:01:45Doesn't have to be impressive.
00:01:47And now a chance to maybe get creative on offense with good speed on first.
00:01:55Here's some real power at the plate.
00:01:57Junior Caminero.
00:01:58Really strong hitting performance recently.
00:02:01Working on a five-game hitting streak.
00:02:03There's the sinker at the knees for a strike.
00:02:11Runner takes off.
00:02:12Pitch in for a strike.
00:02:14Throw to second.
00:02:16Out of bounds.
00:02:17Safe.
00:02:17Well, he's batting leadoff and he's acting like a traditional leadoff hitter.
00:02:21Gets on base to start the game, then puts himself on second with a nice stolen bag.
00:02:25I think that sets the tone for the offense for sure.
00:02:31Runner in scoring position.
00:02:32Nobody out.
00:02:33Here in the second game of the series.
00:02:41Hitter's got some good opposite field power.
00:02:44What I like about something being hit to the right side into the outfield
00:02:48is that the base runner at second has a very good read
00:02:51and can determine whether or not he can score on that base hit.
00:02:55That one is absolutely belted.
00:02:57Carrying well.
00:02:58Can't get to it and this should score the run.
00:03:01And they strike first as they take a 1-0 lead.
00:03:04Pulls into second.
00:03:05That's an RBI double.
00:03:07And if you're the pitcher, you can't be frustrated.
00:03:09You know this is going to be the toughest batter that you face tonight
00:03:12and you're going to have to face him a couple of times.
00:03:14So you just tip your cap and hope that you can get the next guy out.
00:03:34No outs.
00:03:35Runner on second.
00:03:42And it's even up.
00:03:53Try to punt his way on.
00:03:55And foul ball.
00:04:01And it's second.
00:04:05And foul ball.
00:04:07That wasn't an easy pitch to hit.
00:04:09It's much easier to do damage against mistakes.
00:04:12But that's not what that pitch was.
00:04:17Laser to the gap.
00:04:19Should score the run.
00:04:20Coming home.
00:04:21And it bangs off the wall.
00:04:23And they lead by two.
00:04:25And he's into second with nobody out.
00:04:27Well done.
00:04:28Drives in the run.
00:04:30Anytime you smoke a ball off the wall,
00:04:32you kind of think about what it could have been.
00:04:34But obviously, you have to be happy with that result.
00:04:38Runner in scoring position.
00:04:40No outs.
00:04:41Yandy Diaz now.
00:04:43Went deep in the ball game last night.
00:04:48First pitch, just misses.
00:05:01And he bunts, but that's a foul ball.
00:05:11The one-to-one.
00:05:13Up the middle.
00:05:15Oh, great stop.
00:05:16To first.
00:05:17And they get the out.
00:05:23Let's take a look at our lineup.
00:05:26One guy swinging a hot bat recently, Chandler Simpson.
00:05:29Just really solid numbers.
00:05:31He's coming off of a month where he hit over 350.
00:05:33So when you talk about solid at-bats, taking the walks, driving in some runs,
00:05:38he's doing it all right now.
00:05:50And there's a strike.
00:05:52Runner at second here.
00:05:54One gone.
00:06:01That one finds the zone, and it's 0-2.
00:06:05It's a good change-up to him up in the zone.
00:06:07I don't think he recognized it.
00:06:09I'm sure he'd love to have that one back.
00:06:13Foul ball still 0-2.
00:06:41Tapper back to the mound.
00:06:44Slings to first in time.
00:06:48That is it.
00:06:50Right fielder, Johnny DeLuca.
00:06:53Now it's the right fielder, Johnny DeLuca.
00:07:05There's a good!
00:07:05Let's go.
00:07:06Foul.
00:07:27The 1-1 ground ball in the middle that's a base hit in comes the run from third to add
00:07:35on. It's an RBI single and they take a three-run lead. Puts a run on the board and picks
00:07:42up an RBI.
00:07:43And now they've got some speed on first so we'll see if they try to get him into motion.
00:07:56In there for strike one.
00:08:14DeLuca off of first with two away.
00:08:23Chases the changeup in the dirt.
00:08:27In time, the 2-3 strikeout ends the inning.
00:08:34Three runs for them here and they move ahead.
00:08:38On to the bottom of the first.
00:08:39Rays three and the Rockies nothing.
00:08:46We go to the bottom of the first and starting on the mound for the Rays, Ian Seymour.
00:08:51Tell us about him in that sub-three ERA, Siggy.
00:08:54Well, anytime you can keep your ERA under three, you're doing a lot of things right and you're
00:08:59putting your team in a position to win a lot of ball games as well.
00:09:03And he's doing tremendous out there on the mound.
00:09:06Every time he gets the ball, you expect him to go out there and dominate.
00:09:09And that's what he's been to this point.
00:09:11We'll see how he is today.
00:09:12That one found hard the other way.
00:09:22And a big swing and a miss.
00:09:42On the ground right side.
00:09:44Can't blow it cleanly, but the throw to first gets him easily.
00:09:47And that's the first out.
00:09:50Time to check out the Rockies lineup.
00:09:52Someone who makes things happen for them, in part with his legs, Jordan Beck.
00:09:57Hey, Boo, you and I were talking about him before the game.
00:09:59He's got good speed.
00:10:00And if you watch him in this game, he's that type of guy that's very smart.
00:10:04He doesn't have this just eye-popping speed, but he knows how to use it.
00:10:08And he's very intelligent on the base pass to get to the next base, to get around the bases, and
00:10:13ultimately score runs.
00:10:14This one could be trouble.
00:10:16Now he'll turn for second.
00:10:18And that's a double.
00:10:24I'll tell you, when you smoke a line drive into the gap like that, I mean, sure, home runs are
00:10:29king,
00:10:30but I feel like nothing makes you feel like a true professional hitter more than a bolt the other way.
00:10:36Mickey Moniak, digging in for the Rockies.
00:10:40Shot into the gap, and that should bring in the run.
00:10:43Headed for the plate.
00:10:44And they cut the lead to two.
00:10:47And in its second with an RBI double.
00:10:50Well done.
00:10:52Narrows the deficit with the RBI there.
00:10:54That was exactly what you're looking to do with the pitch away, especially in that situation.
00:10:58Drive it into the opposite field gap.
00:11:00Got himself two bags on a great swing of the bat.
00:11:13Not giving him a pitch to hit there isn't a bad thing.
00:11:16He's dealing with a great first pitch hitter up there.
00:11:19Next one off the plate inside.
00:11:21And the count is 2-0.
00:11:24One out and a runner at second.
00:11:28There's a strike.
00:11:35Just missed.
00:11:45This to third.
00:11:48Fires to first in time.
00:11:51That is it.
00:11:53First baseman.
00:11:54Troy Johnston.
00:12:04And immediately pumps in a strike to the left-handed hitter.
00:12:14Fought off.
00:12:15Foul.
00:12:21Two outs and one in scoring position.
00:12:27Swing and he popped it up.
00:12:32That one is foul and he'll see another.
00:12:42The 0-2.
00:12:44And it's fouled off.
00:12:46They'll do it again.
00:12:53Man on second.
00:12:54Two down.
00:12:55Good job to fight that one off.
00:13:10Got him swinging for the strikeout.
00:13:13Good job at damage control right there.
00:13:16Rocks with a run scoring double.
00:13:19One inning in the books here.
00:13:20This is Rays Baseball on the show Florida.
00:13:29New inning getting started.
00:13:30And stepping in for the Rays.
00:13:32Taylor Walls.
00:13:39Saying he wasn't very sharp in the first.
00:13:42Got hit around a little bit.
00:13:43Just wasn't able to locate particularly well.
00:13:45A lot of stuff for the fat part of the plate.
00:13:47Yeah, Boog.
00:13:48He wasn't fooling anyone.
00:13:49It's a tough place to be.
00:13:50Because it's not always obvious where adjustments need to be made.
00:13:53Sometimes it's location.
00:13:54Sometimes it's being too predictable.
00:13:56Sometimes you're tipping your pitches.
00:13:58He's going to need to figure it out quickly though.
00:14:00I don't know how he's able to shoot that pitch the other way.
00:14:04And still put something on it.
00:14:06That pitch was inside.
00:14:07And he let it get really deep.
00:14:09So pretty incredible hands to.
00:14:11Oh, now this one gets away at the plate.
00:14:15Walls.
00:14:15Into scoring position on the wild pitch.
00:14:18And there goes the double play possibility.
00:14:20Can't imagine he's too happy with that one on the mound.
00:14:23Just one pitch after giving up the single.
00:14:25He basically turns it into a double.
00:14:33When you get ahead in the count, there's no doubt that the success rate goes up.
00:14:38And that's what he's been doing.
00:14:39It's made a big impact for him in recent games.
00:14:44Man, it's second.
00:14:46That one misses.
00:14:48And now 3-0.
00:14:50Well, I would expect in this 3-0 count, you're taking all the way.
00:14:54See if he'll walk you.
00:14:58And ball four to a board.
00:15:00Four pitches.
00:15:01That's an easy walk, man.
00:15:03He could have walked me right there, Boog.
00:15:04The last one wasn't even close.
00:15:07So the Rays batting order turns over.
00:15:10Chandler Simpson will hit next.
00:15:12He's one for one.
00:15:13Let off the game with a single.
00:15:19In the dirt.
00:15:21Throws down a second, but he scrambles back to the bag.
00:15:24First and second, no outs.
00:15:26Here at the top of the second.
00:15:33Hit on the ground.
00:15:34Might be two.
00:15:35Over to Castro for one.
00:15:37Throw to first, but he beat it.
00:15:39Up next for Tampa Bay, third baseman, Junior Caminero.
00:15:57He really committed to that fastball up at the top of the zone.
00:16:00He knows that if he makes a mistake in the zone,
00:16:02it gets hit hard by a power guy like this.
00:16:05That's a nice miss right there.
00:16:07On the ground.
00:16:09That's a base hit.
00:16:10Run scores.
00:16:13Throw comes in and holds the runner at third.
00:16:16They're at the corners now with still only one away.
00:16:19Wasting no time.
00:16:21He's two for two now on the night.
00:16:23And just a triple and home run away from the cycle.
00:16:27Seriously, we're starting with this already.
00:16:30Next to hit, Jonathan Arunda.
00:16:32RBI knock for him last time.
00:16:34Now a chance to drive in another run.
00:16:37Right through there for a strike.
00:16:50Nice grab.
00:16:52The feed for one.
00:16:53Double play.
00:16:54What a great killing down the unit.
00:16:57But the RBI single pushes across a run.
00:17:00It's now a 4-1 ball game.
00:17:06Back here in Denver, ready to go for the last half of the unit.
00:17:10Tyler Freeman digging in for the Rockies.
00:17:12Freeman went off for two homers in his last game.
00:17:18Chopped to first.
00:17:20Diaz flips it.
00:17:22Pretty nice play there.
00:17:24Batting seventh.
00:17:26Center fielder, Brenton Doyle.
00:17:37First pitch, and that's in for a strike.
00:17:44To third.
00:17:45Caminero.
00:17:48Fires over to first.
00:17:50Already two out here in the home half of inning number two.
00:17:53Right fielder, Jordan Beck.
00:17:56Two down bases empty.
00:17:58And now the right fielder, Jordan Beck.
00:18:00He's struggled to make contact lately.
00:18:03Almost three strikeouts per game over the last five.
00:18:07But, Kelly threw that fastball right by him.
00:18:09Gives him a little bit of confidence.
00:18:10But in the back of your mind, you've got to think,
00:18:12is he trying to set me up for later in this at-bat?
00:18:22Two down.
00:18:23Nobody on.
00:18:25That one ripped right center field.
00:18:28This looks like extra bases.
00:18:32And into second easily with a two-out double.
00:18:36Everything came together for him.
00:18:38Got a fastball.
00:18:39Middle of the plate.
00:18:39Jumped all over it.
00:18:40Absolutely smoked that ball.
00:18:53Up!
00:18:58Runner at second.
00:18:59Two down.
00:19:00Bottom half of inning number two.
00:19:18What a stop.
00:19:19Fires to first.
00:19:20What a play.
00:19:22Inning over.
00:19:24So, one left for Colorado.
00:19:26And they trail it 4-1.
00:19:32All set for the start of the inning and stepping in for the Rays, Yandy Diaz.
00:19:43Gets the outside corner with that one.
00:19:46I think this is an important inning on the mound for him in this game.
00:19:49He's got to find a way to settle things down and give some length in this start.
00:19:55Well, these Rays, really producing with runners on, it's been a right place, right time kind
00:20:00of game for him.
00:20:01They put a bunch of runs on the board, thanks in large part to four hits with runners in scoring
00:20:05position.
00:20:07Hit on the ground up the middle.
00:20:09That's a base hit.
00:20:12And a good start to the inning.
00:20:16That ups his hitting streak to lucky number 13.
00:20:20The Bakers doesn't boog, and it doesn't seem like a huge number, but anytime you get to
00:20:25the point where you've hit in every game for almost two weeks straight, that's a sign of
00:20:30what kind of rhythm you're in.
00:20:36Missed with a changeup.
00:20:38Ball won.
00:20:39One of the most frustrating things for an offense is leaving runners on base.
00:20:43So the big hits they've gotten in this one have made a very happy group of hitters down
00:20:48there.
00:20:49In the air left field, Freeman on his way over.
00:20:54Then there's one down.
00:21:02Up next for Tampa Bay, right fielder Johnny DeLuca.
00:21:06One out man at first.
00:21:08Digging in, it's the speedy outfielder Johnny DeLuca.
00:21:11Singled and drove in a run his first time through.
00:21:18That's in there.
00:21:20Strike one.
00:21:21When you're struggling out there on the mound, hitters know that there'll be plenty of opportunities
00:21:25within the at-bat to try to get something to hit hard.
00:21:30Rift to the right center.
00:21:31Should be extra bases.
00:21:33Makes the turn at second.
00:21:35Heads for third.
00:21:37Diaz coming home.
00:21:38Now a relay to third.
00:21:40And he's out easily.
00:21:42But a run does come in to score.
00:21:45Well, I think the baseruner assumed that he was going to be able to make it to third pretty
00:21:48easily, but a really nice relay from the outfielder to the cutoff man, and they got him easily.
00:22:07Two down bases empty, but one run across.
00:22:10We're here in the top half of inning number three.
00:22:15Oh, he can't squeeze it.
00:22:18But in time.
00:22:19Nice job to stay with it in the inning.
00:22:22We head down to the home half of inning number three.
00:22:25It's the Rays five and the Rockies one.
00:22:28You're watching Tampa Bay Rays baseball on the show.
00:22:32Back here at the ballpark, let's check out the latest news from around the league.
00:22:47Ripped, but a curls foul.
00:22:55Swing and a ball hit out towards left center field.
00:22:58Mullins on his horse.
00:23:00Whips on it, and it falls in.
00:23:04That skips over the fence, so it's an automatic double.
00:23:24Swing and a ball driven pretty well out towards left center.
00:23:28Can't get there, and that should bring in the run.
00:23:32Castro, around third.
00:23:34He'll score.
00:23:35It's 5-2.
00:23:37Well, that gets him a little closer in this one.
00:23:40Pretty much just a textbook double into the gap, and when you can drop one in there between
00:23:45the outfielders, you know you're making the turn at first.
00:23:48Just an excellent swing.
00:23:49Runner in scoring position.
00:23:51No outs.
00:23:52Mickey Moniak digging in for the Rockies.
00:23:56Just missed.
00:24:03Next offering in there for a strike.
00:24:06And the count one and one.
00:24:07Nobody in his team has scored more runs than he has this season, Singhi.
00:24:12Laser to the gap.
00:24:14Should score the run.
00:24:15Round third headed for the plate.
00:24:17And they cut the lead to two.
00:24:20Ian Safley with a double.
00:24:22His second of the day.
00:24:23He has had such a good day today.
00:24:25I don't think he's going to want to leave when it's over.
00:24:28Couple of doubles today for the DH.
00:24:39Swing and a miss.
00:24:41Strike one.
00:24:41All these Rockies doing a good job of putting the ball into play, and that makes things more
00:24:46challenging on the defensive side.
00:24:48And here's a stat for you, Boog.
00:24:49They're making contact with more than 85% of the pitches that they're swinging at.
00:24:54That's pretty special stuff.
00:24:55Not so good if you're out there on the mound.
00:24:58Troy Johnston.
00:24:59Now at the plate.
00:25:00Struck out swinging his first time.
00:25:05And that's a strike.
00:25:06All those numbers mean this offense is really making the defense work by just putting the
00:25:11ball into play.
00:25:13Anything can happen at that point.
00:25:15And a foul ball.
00:25:21One away with a runner at third.
00:25:23Here in the last half of the third.
00:25:26Struck him out looking.
00:25:28Felt definitely a borderline pitch right there, and he didn't look too convinced as he headed
00:25:32back to the dugout.
00:25:33You know, those are tough ones that let go as a hitter, but with the human umpire calling
00:25:37balls and strikes, it's always going to be on you to protect yourself with two strikes.
00:25:46That's in for a strike.
00:25:56Fouled off.
00:25:57He was late.
00:26:05Field two.
00:26:08On a line.
00:26:11That's a base hit.
00:26:13Runner from third into score.
00:26:15It's an RBI single.
00:26:17And now they trail by one.
00:26:19Well, back within one as he brings home the run.
00:26:22Nice line drive to the pole side.
00:26:25Met it out front, but just stayed through it nice enough and ripped it into the outfield.
00:26:29So, two down.
00:26:31Now, Brenton Doyle.
00:26:32Check swing called strike.
00:26:34And that's strike one.
00:26:40This one popped up.
00:26:42Foul ground first base side.
00:26:45And that will end the inning.
00:26:51Three runs on four hits, no errors, and one left off.
00:26:55On to inning number four.
00:26:56It's the Rays five and the Rockies four.
00:26:59This is Rays.
00:27:01Back here at Coors Field.
00:27:03It's that time of the season.
00:27:05Let's check out some notable trade candidates.
00:27:20That misses.
00:27:21And it's 1-0.
00:27:22Clearly, he hasn't had it in this game.
00:27:24And looks like sooner than later, they're going to have to go to the bullpen.
00:27:27Let's check out some of the guys that are going to have to go to the bullpen.
00:27:30Let's check out some of the guys that are going to have to go to the bullpen.
00:27:31Let's check out some of the guys that are going to have to go to the bullpen.
00:27:33Stirring in the Colorado bullpen, Juan Mejia.
00:27:37The hard-throwing righty is up and loosening.
00:27:39Vodnik getting cranked up as well.
00:27:49Chopped left side.
00:27:52Gets it to first.
00:27:53And one gone to the fourth as they get the leadoff, man.
00:27:56Up next for Tampa Bay, second baseman, Hess-Sung Kim.
00:28:11That one finds the zone.
00:28:13Strike one.
00:28:23Base hit.
00:28:24So they get a man aboard with a one-out single.
00:28:30That extends his hitting streak to an even dozen, Singy.
00:28:34Do opposing pitchers start to take notice when a guy is on a roll like this?
00:28:38Yeah, I think so, Boog.
00:28:39It's not like it changes the scouting report on a guy or anything like that too much.
00:28:44But you're aware of who's swinging the hottest bat, and that's definitely him right now.
00:28:48Here comes the manager out of the dugout, and he'll make a move for the bullpen.
00:28:52Jose Quintana out of the game.
00:28:54And this is one he'd like to forget.
00:28:57Back with a new arm after this.
00:28:59So the Rockies turn the ball over to a new arm.
00:29:02Juan Mejia hasn't pitched in the last three days.
00:29:07Back to the top of the order now.
00:29:09Here's the left fielder, Chandler Simpson.
00:29:12Singled and scored back in the first.
00:29:14Here goes the runner.
00:29:15Pitch is high.
00:29:17Throw bounces, and he's in there safely with the stolen base.
00:29:21He had that base stolen as soon as he broke for second.
00:29:24Such a huge lead.
00:29:25The pitcher's got to find a way to help out his catcher,
00:29:27especially if he doesn't have a great throwing arm.
00:29:30Step off the rubber.
00:29:31Shrink that lead.
00:29:32Somehow create a little bit more time
00:29:34where maybe you can prevent that stolen base.
00:29:43In the air, right field.
00:29:46He's got it.
00:29:47Grounder tags at second.
00:29:49And he's up to third safely with two gone.
00:29:53Up next for Tampa Bay, third baseman, Junior Caminero.
00:30:12Two outs and a runner, a third.
00:30:14Top half of inning number four.
00:30:20Tap foul to play.
00:30:32Here's a swing and a drive left field, and he knew it.
00:30:42His 26th of the year, and they tack on to their lead.
00:30:46It's 7-4.
00:30:48He's been so difficult to pitch against lately.
00:30:51It seems like no matter how you attack it,
00:30:53he finds a way to punish you.
00:30:56Power versus power right there.
00:30:58Like two locomotives colliding.
00:31:00Who's going to win?
00:31:02Well, a really good job there by the hitter
00:31:04getting the top hand working.
00:31:06Powers that fastball out of here.
00:31:10So two down.
00:31:12So next to the plate for Tampa Bay, Jonathan Aranda.
00:31:29Lace down the line.
00:31:31This looks like extra bases.
00:31:33Around first and hustling for second.
00:31:37And he's got his second double of the game.
00:31:39Having a really nice game here.
00:31:41That's his second extra base hit.
00:31:43Anytime you rip a line drive the other way,
00:31:46you feel really good about what you did at the plate.
00:31:49You trusted your hands, you let the ball travel,
00:31:51and you took the barrel straight to it.
00:31:53That's great work right there.
00:31:59Strike one.
00:32:04Aranda stands at second with two gone.
00:32:13Swings through that one out in front that time.
00:32:16Well, you've got the hitter already chasing that nasty slider.
00:32:19If you're on the mound, you just want to expand the zone right now.
00:32:22Get a swing and miss, and get through this at bat.
00:32:24Swings through it for the K.
00:32:26They limit the damage here.
00:32:29The Rays with a two-run homer.
00:32:31It's now a seven-four ball game.
00:32:41Back here in Denver, ready to go.
00:32:43Bottom four.
00:32:44Jordan Beck digging in for the Rockies.
00:32:48Well, he hasn't quite settled in out there.
00:32:51Four runs and three innings.
00:32:53He's going to have to have some quick one, two, three innings
00:32:55to pitch deep into this ball game.
00:33:00Fly ball down the line.
00:33:04And no one can get to it.
00:33:06It's a foul ball.
00:33:10Here's a one-two.
00:33:14Ripped into right center.
00:33:15Should be extra bases.
00:33:20He's in with a double, and that's the second double of the ninth.
00:33:24Two hits for him in this one.
00:33:26Both were extra bases.
00:33:27Got to feel good about that.
00:33:28Pretty much a model swing on that one as he ripped it into the opposite field gap,
00:33:33and I'm sure he's going to be watching that one back on video
00:33:35because that's the kind of swing you want to bottle.
00:33:38So many positives that led to that knock.
00:33:40Inside.
00:33:41Yeah, that's ball one.
00:33:46Right through there for a strike.
00:33:47Well, we call that key-holy.
00:33:50Even though it's right there and looks pretty good,
00:33:52if he doesn't love it, he's not going to swing that early in the count.
00:33:55Base hit!
00:33:57Stop sign goes up at third.
00:34:00Runners at the corners.
00:34:01Nobody out.
00:34:02Though a swing like that can help you come out of the struggle.
00:34:05We saw the numbers coming into the ball game,
00:34:08but all he's trying to do at this point is help his team.
00:34:21This is Willie Castro.
00:34:24Sliced hard, but foul.
00:34:30On the ground to the left.
00:34:32Oh, great stop.
00:34:34And he's seen.
00:34:35As the run scores from third.
00:34:44Up next for the Rockies.
00:34:46Good thing.
00:34:52Hire!
00:34:55Late swing, fouled off.
00:35:04Now the 0-1.
00:35:06That's in there.
00:35:07So now it's all about protect mode.
00:35:09Try to shorten up.
00:35:10Try to track the ball.
00:35:12Block it if you have to,
00:35:13as far as just a late swing that maybe you're not sure about,
00:35:16but some way, somehow,
00:35:18climb back into this at-bat through the count.
00:35:20Here's the 0-2.
00:35:22That's to third, Caminero.
00:35:24There's one.
00:35:26A sensational double play.
00:35:28That was a much-deeded double play right there.
00:35:30Gives him a really good shot at minimizing any further damage in this inning.
00:35:35Miki Moniak.
00:35:49And immediately pumps in a strike to the left-handed hitter.
00:35:55That one ripped, but foul.
00:36:020-2 now.
00:36:04Right side.
00:36:06Diaz.
00:36:07He takes it himself to the bag, and that'll do it.
00:36:10They get a run on two hits, no errors, and a man left.
00:36:14We're headed to the fifth.
00:36:16It's the Rays' 7 and the Rockies' 5.
00:36:20Welcome back as we take a check of the current standings.
00:36:39Well, these Rays, digging into their numbers, have to be happy with the swings they're taking.
00:36:44They have five extra base hits on the stat sheet so far, and that tells me they're seeing the ball
00:36:49out of the pitcher's hand really well.
00:36:51That finds the mark on the inside corner.
00:36:53With all those extra base hits, it's easy to think we're going to see that trend continue the rest of
00:36:58the game.
00:36:58They seem to be really locked in at the plate.
00:37:06And a seed into center.
00:37:08That's a base hit.
00:37:09And the leadoff man aboard.
00:37:12I'd say a mistake pitch in an 0-2 count.
00:37:15Too good of a pitch to hit right there.
00:37:17You have to expand the zone.
00:37:19Keep that leadoff man off first base.
00:37:25Now a quick throw to first, and he's back in there.
00:37:35Rudder takes off.
00:37:37Pitch in for a strike.
00:37:39Throw to second.
00:37:40Out of bounds.
00:37:41Safe.
00:37:42Well, he picked over once just before the pitch to check on him, but that didn't seem to slow up
00:37:46his jump on the pitch at all.
00:37:47I think that guy's been studying some video.
00:37:49Awesome job to be prepared.
00:37:51Got the timing down, and he gets in the scoring position.
00:37:55Man at second.
00:37:57And there's a strike.
00:37:58Good heater at 98.
00:38:00Cold night like tonight, last thing you want to do as a hitter is get jammed or even off the
00:38:04end.
00:38:05Trying to find that sweet spot on the bat.
00:38:07Tell you what, you're going to be trying to catch things out front.
00:38:10Oh, and now a wild pitch.
00:38:11Up with it.
00:38:12Fires the first.
00:38:13But no chance to recover.
00:38:15He'll reach after the strikeout.
00:38:17To the plate.
00:38:18He's saved.
00:38:19And they're up by three.
00:38:31Runner in scoring position.
00:38:33No outs.
00:38:35Nick Fortes.
00:38:36Next to hit for the Rays.
00:38:41Shortened a bunt and missed it.
00:38:43Four and one.
00:38:45One on.
00:38:46Nobody out.
00:38:46A run in.
00:38:47And we're at the top of the fifth.
00:38:51In the air.
00:38:52Out to center.
00:38:54Base hit.
00:38:55And they're at the corners with nobody out.
00:39:01Here's a ball.
00:39:02It's hit right back up the middle.
00:39:03Clearly a base hit.
00:39:05I mean, that's one of those where you're expecting a guy from second to score.
00:39:17Breaking ball.
00:39:18And that got him.
00:39:19Hit by Pitt.
00:39:20Thank you, mate.
00:39:21Up next for Tampa Bay.
00:39:22So they're all loaded up.
00:39:24Hesung Kim.
00:39:25Next to hit for the Rays.
00:39:26A walk in.
00:39:27He's also single.
00:39:35Right through there for a strike.
00:39:37Well, this is a tough situation with the bases loaded.
00:39:39But the healthiest mindset is just try to get out one hitter at a time.
00:39:48Left field.
00:39:51Base hit.
00:39:52One run in already.
00:39:57Now here's an easy out with a pair of runners stranded together.
00:40:01Things getting a little messy on the bases.
00:40:03Well, it's always a risk when you're pushing for third like that.
00:40:06A bang-bang play.
00:40:08Had a chance to make it.
00:40:09Maybe a little better slide around the tag.
00:40:11But a nice job by the defense to cut off that runner.
00:40:14Manager out of the dugout now.
00:40:16And it looks like we'll see a change on the mound.
00:40:18Juan Mejia won't go any further tonight.
00:40:22And he's on the hook for the runners at second and third.
00:40:24So looking for some help there.
00:40:26Back in a minute.
00:40:27New pitcher in the game for the Rockies.
00:40:29Victor Votnik.
00:40:31Huge opportunity to add on to the lead for this offense right now.
00:40:35But we'll see what he has to say about that.
00:40:37He's going to have to make some great pitches to work out of this jam, though.
00:40:43And immediately pumps in a strike to the left.
00:40:52Hitter.
00:40:53Fortez.
00:40:54The runner at third.
00:40:55Kim.
00:40:56At second with one away.
00:41:03Swing and a pop-up.
00:41:05Tovar settles underneath it.
00:41:08Out.
00:41:09Number two.
00:41:13Up next for Tampa Bay.
00:41:15Third baseman.
00:41:16Stepping in the long ball threat.
00:41:18Junior Caminero.
00:41:19And it may be a long shot.
00:41:21But a triple here will give him the cycle.
00:41:32In there for strike one.
00:41:43Two on, two outs.
00:41:46And a foul ball.
00:41:59The 0-2.
00:42:02Swing and a ball.
00:42:03Hit out towards left center field.
00:42:05Can't get there.
00:42:07One run will score.
00:42:08The second run scores.
00:42:10The relay.
00:42:11Not in time.
00:42:12He's safe.
00:42:13As they score a pair on the play.
00:42:15And his hot hitting continues.
00:42:18They kept him in the yard that time.
00:42:20But all he's doing now is passing the baton.
00:42:22And everything seems to get started around this guy.
00:42:38Four one.
00:42:49Man on second.
00:42:50Two down.
00:42:51That's a bullet.
00:42:52But it goes foul.
00:43:05Swing and a ball driven pretty well.
00:43:07Out towards left center.
00:43:09Reaching for it.
00:43:10Makes the catch.
00:43:11Last half of the Biff.
00:43:13Coming up.
00:43:13It's the Rays 11.
00:43:15They're the Rockies 5.
00:43:21Back now to start the bottom of the Biff.
00:43:23And taking over on the mound.
00:43:25Craig Kimbrell.
00:43:26And he's got a nice lead to work with.
00:43:28So he should come in throwing strikes.
00:43:30Attacking these hitters.
00:43:32Here's the Rockies cleanup hitter.
00:43:35Ezequiel Tobar.
00:43:37Hard on the ground to first.
00:43:40Diaz takes it to the bag.
00:43:41One pitch and one out.
00:43:43Really nice job to get your first out of the ball game.
00:43:46It was 0 for 2 with a pair of strikeouts.
00:43:54The Rays up big in this one.
00:43:57Last half of inning number 5.
00:44:00Over to Diaz.
00:44:02Home half of the 5th inning moving along.
00:44:04Two quick outs.
00:44:06Up next for the Rockies.
00:44:08Left fielder.
00:44:09Tyler Freeman.
00:44:13Line drive.
00:44:15And it gets down for a base hit.
00:44:18And that extends the inning.
00:44:21Up next for the Rockies.
00:44:23Center fielder.
00:44:24So digging in.
00:44:26Brenton Doyle.
00:44:34On the ground to third.
00:44:37To second.
00:44:39Pulls him off the bag.
00:44:42Well, fortunately, they've got a big lead on the scoreboard.
00:44:45So that error shouldn't hurt too much.
00:44:47But you have to be careful about losing concentration at a game like this.
00:44:51It can be an easy trap to fall into.
00:44:57Two outs.
00:44:58A couple of base runners at first and second.
00:45:08In the dirt.
00:45:17Line shot into the gap.
00:45:19She'd score at least one.
00:45:21And that'll kick off the base of the wall.
00:45:23One run across.
00:45:26Another comes in to score.
00:45:27It's 11-7.
00:45:29Gets the job done as he brings home a pair.
00:45:32Off the bat, it was headed for the gap all the way.
00:45:35And as a hitter, you love seeing those as you take your first couple of steps out of the box.
00:45:39You know you've got some real estate to run on.
00:45:41It's such a good feeling.
00:45:42Nice liner into the gap right there.
00:45:44Cordova in the box now.
00:45:46Takes strike one.
00:45:48This one in the air center field.
00:45:51Mullins under this one.
00:45:53And that is that.
00:45:56But they'll pick up a couple of runs here.
00:45:58Both coming on this two-run double.
00:46:00Five innings complete.
00:46:02This is Rays Baseball on the show, Florida.
00:46:07Welcome back as we look at the highlights from today's game so far.
00:46:11They're getting along when I need you, as far as I can tell.
00:46:17Baby, I'll go back to doing that voodoo like I've done so well.
00:46:23Sang a little rock and roll music.
00:46:26Raise a little honky tone.
00:46:34Oh, look out now.
00:46:45Yandy Diaz digs in now.
00:46:48First baseman, Yandy Diaz.
00:47:04And the pitch is in for a strike.
00:47:06And it's 0-1.
00:47:08Diaz, 34-year-old vet, and he was born in Cuba.
00:47:17Base hit.
00:47:18Man aboard on the leadoff single.
00:47:22I don't think that pitch would have been called a strike,
00:47:24but he did such a nice job of pulling his hands tight to the body
00:47:28and just getting enough of the barrel on it
00:47:30to be hard enough back up the middle for a knock.
00:47:51On the ground.
00:47:53Oh, look at the stop.
00:47:54There's one to first.
00:47:55Double play.
00:47:57Nicely done.
00:47:58He's so good at coming across the bag
00:48:00and snagging it with the bare hand to throw.
00:48:03I like the flair that he brings day in and day out.
00:48:06Base is empty after the double play.
00:48:08Johnny DeLuca next to hit for the Rays.
00:48:16In the air, right field.
00:48:19And that is that.
00:48:22Rays held in check here.
00:48:23They're still on top, though.
00:48:2511-7.
00:48:32Back here at Coors Field, here's the Rockies leadoff hitter,
00:48:35Willie Castro.
00:48:38Willie Castro.
00:48:38Up the middle.
00:48:40Into the outfield.
00:48:41Base hit.
00:48:42And a man aboard.
00:48:45Didn't take long to get a result for that at bat.
00:48:48Timing on the swing was good.
00:48:49Able to shoot the ball up the middle.
00:48:51Didn't square it up as much as he probably would have liked,
00:48:53but that's a good approach paying off.
00:48:57There's the strike.
00:48:58Now, these guys definitely looking for a big swing of the bat right here.
00:49:02Try to close that gap.
00:49:03But, you know, at the very least,
00:49:04if you could find a way to manufacture that run from first,
00:49:07it feels like it's really important to getting back into this ballgame.
00:49:10The Rays leading by four here in the bottom of the sixth.
00:49:15Swing and a miss.
00:49:16Struck him out.
00:49:17One away.
00:49:17That's a pretty nasty pitch right there.
00:49:20I'd call it a power curveball in the 80s.
00:49:22It's got so much spin on it,
00:49:24and you really don't have a lot of time to sit back
00:49:26and watch what it's going to do before you have to commit.
00:49:29It was a good one for the swinging strikeout.
00:49:35Both.
00:49:43Lifted in the air, left field, pretty well struck.
00:49:46Simpson settles under this one.
00:49:49Makes the grab.
00:49:56Up next for the Rockies, the shortstop.
00:49:59So next will be the four-hole hitter for the Rockies, Ezekiel Tovar.
00:50:05This guy's got a great feel for his breaking ball today.
00:50:11And foul ball.
00:50:19See if he can go upstairs a little bit.
00:50:21Make sure you miss up and out of the zone
00:50:23since you're heading to count one, two.
00:50:25Don't miss in the zone because that's where you get hurt.
00:50:27Sharp grounder.
00:50:28That's through for a base hit.
00:50:30They stop the lead runner at second.
00:50:33Now two on with two outs.
00:50:35Up next for the Rockies.
00:50:36First baseman, Troy.
00:50:58And that's a base hit.
00:51:00Headed for the plate.
00:51:01Now a long throw home.
00:51:03And he's out.
00:51:04Out on the tag.
00:51:05Cut down and that ends the inning.
00:51:07Well, it's pretty difficult to throw a base runner out at the plate
00:51:09with two outs and a base hit to the outfield,
00:51:12but an excellent job of coming up with it,
00:51:14getting rid of it quickly,
00:51:15and throwing on the money.
00:51:17That is great technique from start to finish.
00:51:20Nice job the end of the inning.
00:51:22Top of inning number seven.
00:51:24And now the catcher for the Rays, Nick Fortes.
00:51:35Whoo!
00:51:38Whoo!
00:51:47Here comes the 0-1.
00:51:49Swing and a high fly ball out towards right center field.
00:51:54That one hops against the fence.
00:51:57And it's a leadoff double to start to seventh.
00:52:01A couple of hits in a row for him here.
00:52:02Pitch was away,
00:52:03and he did exactly what you're supposed to do with it.
00:52:06Drive it the other way.
00:52:07Just go with the pitch.
00:52:19Pitch.
00:52:20Strike!
00:52:21Whoo!
00:52:30Man at second.
00:52:32Check swing,
00:52:33and he went.
00:52:34That strike two.
00:52:47Popped up.
00:52:49Castro under it.
00:52:52One down.
00:52:59And stepping in for the Rays,
00:53:01Hesun.
00:53:07Basement has sunk him.
00:53:18Fastball for a strike.
00:53:21Strike.
00:53:32Swing and a high fly ball to left.
00:53:35That's out number two.
00:53:41Up next.
00:53:42Here comes the skipper,
00:53:43and we're going to see a pitching change in this spot.
00:53:46Viktor Vodnik done for the night,
00:53:48and he's responsible for the runner on second,
00:53:51so the book isn't closed on him yet.
00:54:00Now pitching for the Rockies.
00:54:01Jaden Hill not a pitch out of the pen here.
00:54:04Well,
00:54:04he's been a bit of a wild card out there
00:54:06in terms of throwing strikes.
00:54:08He's definitely struggled with free passes this year.
00:54:25To the right side,
00:54:26and that one handled.
00:54:28Whips it to first.
00:54:30Out number three.
00:54:32It's the Rays 11,
00:54:33and the Rockies 7.
00:54:40Now pitching for Tampa Bay.
00:54:41We're back in a new pitcher here
00:54:42to start the bottom of the seventh.
00:54:44Garrett Clevenger.
00:54:45And one thing on him,
00:54:46he's been really good this season
00:54:48at keeping the ball on the par.
00:54:50Not an easy guy to take deep.
00:54:52Here's Tyler Freeman to hit.
00:54:56Tyler Freeman.
00:54:57And first offering is fouled off.
00:55:03Right through there for a strike.
00:55:15Swings through that one.
00:55:16It's a strikeout.
00:55:18Up next for the Rockies.
00:55:20Center fielder,
00:55:22Brenton Doyle.
00:55:30Strike.
00:55:30Woo!
00:55:41The Rockies down by four.
00:55:44Here at the bottom of the seventh.
00:55:46Strike three,
00:55:46and that's two in a row.
00:55:48Oh, really went aggressive in
00:55:50with that slider.
00:55:51Good two-strike pitch right there.
00:55:53At worst-case scenario,
00:55:54it's weak contact in play.
00:55:56Exactly where he and the catcher wanted it.
00:55:59Number one, number one, number one.
00:56:02Jordan Beck getting ready to hit.
00:56:04Three for three,
00:56:05and he's come up with three doubles.
00:56:07Beck!
00:56:19Two down, nobody on.
00:56:22Fouled off,
00:56:24and they'll do it again.
00:56:27The 0-2.
00:56:29Got him looking for the strikeout.
00:56:32And he strikes out the side of the seventh.
00:56:34It's the Rays 11 and the Rockies 7.
00:56:42Now the third baseman,
00:56:44Junior Caminero.
00:56:45He had a big swing back in the fourth.
00:56:47The two-run homer,
00:56:48and that helped them get the lead.
00:56:50And what a swing it was, Boop.
00:56:52Poetry in motion,
00:56:53and those are the type
00:56:54that you hardly feel
00:56:55when you connect with the baseball.
00:56:57Just so smooth,
00:56:58a great feeling off the bat.
00:57:03Well, don't expect too many more high fastballs.
00:57:05It's a good sinker ball pitcher,
00:57:06and sometimes they can make mistakes
00:57:08trying to pitch up in the zone.
00:57:10Look for them to stay down around the knees
00:57:11to be effective.
00:57:14Hard ground ball,
00:57:16Bay stop.
00:57:19And a good start to the inning.
00:57:23Up next for Tampa Bay,
00:57:25the designated hitter,
00:57:26Jonathan Aranda.
00:57:34Pass the ball.
00:57:44The 1-0.
00:57:47Hard hit to right center.
00:57:49That's a base hit.
00:57:50Lead runner touches second,
00:57:52headed for third.
00:57:52And now runners at the corners,
00:57:54nobody out.
00:57:57Oh, this has been a really nice game
00:57:59at the plate for him.
00:57:59He looks locked in.
00:58:01Just a solid swing right there.
00:58:03Caught it out front
00:58:04and ripped it into the outfield
00:58:05for the base hit.
00:58:07Those always feel great.
00:58:09Next to bat will be the Rays four hitter,
00:58:11Yandy Diaz.
00:58:20He's getting a little frustrated
00:58:21out there on the mound,
00:58:23getting hit around a little bit.
00:58:24Let's see if he can settle himself down.
00:58:32Inside and hit him.
00:58:34And now the bases are loaded.
00:58:36Next for Tampa Bay,
00:58:37center fielder,
00:58:38Cedric Mullins.
00:58:49Gets him to chase after that one.
00:58:51They need a strikeout
00:58:52and you need a ball
00:58:54perhaps on the ground
00:58:55for a double play
00:58:56or get yourself a pop-up
00:58:57or something.
00:58:58But you've got to make some pitches.
00:58:59But if he can battle
00:59:00and get through this.
00:59:02Gap shot should score
00:59:04at least two.
00:59:05One runs in.
00:59:07A second scores as well.
00:59:09Runner around third.
00:59:12He's safe.
00:59:13And they clear the bases.
00:59:15It's 14-7.
00:59:17Man, that's a huge three-RBI double
00:59:19in a spot where they really needed it.
00:59:22Loud contact leads to the double.
00:59:24I mean, you could tell
00:59:25it had extra bases written all over it
00:59:27as it jumped off of his stick.
00:59:29Now it's the right fielder,
00:59:30Johnny DeLuca.
00:59:51Man, it's second.
00:59:53Pitch is in there.
00:59:54No balls, two strikes.
00:59:56Well, I didn't like those first two pitches
00:59:57down in 0-2 hole.
00:59:59He's going to have to battle.
00:59:59Hope he gets a mistake.
01:00:03This one in the air center field.
01:00:09One away.
01:00:13Up next for Tampa Bay.
01:00:16Here comes a skipper out of the dugout
01:00:18and he's ready to make the move.
01:00:20Jaden Hill departs.
01:00:21We'll be back in a minute
01:00:23with a new arm on the mound.
01:00:35New arm out of the bullpen.
01:00:36Jimmy Hurton.
01:00:37And with the big deficit
01:00:39on the scoreboard,
01:00:40he almost has to just put that
01:00:41out of his mind.
01:00:43Every outing matters
01:00:44for relievers and their numbers,
01:00:45but I think it's tough
01:00:46to get up for this type of appearance
01:00:48the same way you would
01:00:49for one in a close game.
01:00:58Oh, right to the backstop.
01:01:02And on the wild pitch,
01:01:03he goes down to third.
01:01:05Well, he's got nobody to blame
01:01:06but himself.
01:01:07With one out,
01:01:08a runner on third
01:01:09can come home
01:01:09all sorts of ways now.
01:01:11That's why as a pitcher,
01:01:12you have to execute pitches
01:01:14even better
01:01:14when they're runners on base.
01:01:23Hard grounder
01:01:23into the outfield
01:01:24for a knock.
01:01:25Runner in from third
01:01:26to extend their lead.
01:01:28It's an RBI single
01:01:30and it's an eight run lead.
01:01:32Comes through with the RBI.
01:01:34I know it was a ground ball,
01:01:35but it was absolutely
01:01:36hammered through the infield.
01:01:37That's not one you're excited
01:01:39to get in front of
01:01:40if you're an infielder.
01:01:40You know they used to say,
01:01:41charge in.
01:01:42Crazy.
01:01:43Now with the play,
01:01:44Taylor Walls.
01:01:47Plenty of offense
01:01:48in this one, Singy.
01:01:49I guess you'd say
01:01:50kind of what we expected, though.
01:01:52Well, this was a game
01:01:53looking at the pitching matchup
01:01:55where you expected
01:01:57offense to score
01:01:59and not as lopsided as this.
01:02:02But yeah,
01:02:03you definitely expected
01:02:04to see some offense coming up.
01:02:06Roll to short.
01:02:06Possible two ball.
01:02:08Over to Castro
01:02:08for one.
01:02:09Double play.
01:02:10And that'll do it for the inning.
01:02:12Last half of the eighth
01:02:13coming up.
01:02:13The Rays
01:02:14had the advantage
01:02:1515 to 7.
01:02:25This one isn't exactly
01:02:26close, Chris.
01:02:27Let's go off script
01:02:28for a moment.
01:02:29I'm game.
01:02:29Were we on script?
01:02:30Never.
01:02:31All right, Singy.
01:02:32We've been
01:02:33in all the press boxes.
01:02:34You got best
01:02:35press box food.
01:02:38I'd say press box food
01:02:40because of the ice cream.
01:02:41We have to go to Philadelphia.
01:02:43Yeah.
01:02:43Shout out to our guy, Frank.
01:02:44Yes.
01:02:45New York for me
01:02:46is pretty good.
01:02:47Yankees?
01:02:48Yeah, solid.
01:02:49Yeah.
01:02:53Line to left.
01:02:55And foul ball.
01:02:57As far as ballpark food,
01:02:58one of my favorite places
01:03:00is San Francisco.
01:03:01Garlic fries, yo.
01:03:03Garlic fries,
01:03:03and you got the lobster roll
01:03:05out there in the outfield
01:03:06if you want to make the walk
01:03:07all the way out there.
01:03:08It's great, though,
01:03:09broadcasting a game
01:03:09with that zoo breath
01:03:10where you could just,
01:03:11I mean,
01:03:12absolutely levitate
01:03:13some people
01:03:14with your breath.
01:03:17Over to Diaz.
01:03:19He's out.
01:03:20But we got the crab fries
01:03:21in Philadelphia.
01:03:22Is that right?
01:03:22Yep.
01:03:23It's been a long time for me.
01:03:24Boots barbecue
01:03:25at Oriole Park.
01:03:26I knew you'd go there.
01:03:27That's right.
01:03:31Yeah.
01:03:32Anyway,
01:03:32you can work in your name,
01:03:34huh?
01:03:34That's right.
01:03:35Ripped into right center.
01:03:37Shoot the extra bases.
01:03:40Around first,
01:03:41heading for two.
01:03:42Pulls in with a double.
01:03:44Third hit for him today.
01:03:46Having himself
01:03:47a really nice game
01:03:48at the plate.
01:03:49Nice job of driving
01:03:50that pitch
01:03:51the other way
01:03:51on a line.
01:03:52You know,
01:03:52hitters,
01:03:53they take so many reps
01:03:54in the cages
01:03:55working on going
01:03:56to the opposite field,
01:03:57and it doesn't always
01:03:57translate into the game,
01:03:58but right there it did,
01:04:00and he did it perfectly.
01:04:01Moniak in the box now.
01:04:03Takes strike one.
01:04:05Nope.
01:04:05That's off the plate.
01:04:07Runner at second,
01:04:08two down.
01:04:09Here the bottom half
01:04:10of the eighth inning.
01:04:11Let's go, Moniak!
01:04:18In the air right field,
01:04:20pretty well struck.
01:04:21Way back there,
01:04:22it's got a chance.
01:04:23And it bangs off
01:04:24the out-of-town scoreboard.
01:04:26The run comes in
01:04:27to score from second.
01:04:28It's 15-8.
01:04:32He absolutely ripped
01:04:33that ball out front
01:04:34and almost got it
01:04:35out of here, man.
01:04:36Just a really strong
01:04:38balanced swing
01:04:39and a fraction
01:04:40of an inch
01:04:40different on the bat,
01:04:41and it is probably
01:04:42out of here.
01:04:44Runner at second,
01:04:45two down.
01:04:46That one fouled off.
01:04:54So, a foul ball
01:04:55makes it one and two.
01:05:00Get on the ground
01:05:01to the right side.
01:05:02And that chance handled.
01:05:05Throw short hops
01:05:05a bit first.
01:05:06Can't come up with it.
01:05:08He's safe.
01:05:09You know,
01:05:10two out errors
01:05:10are kind of like
01:05:11two out walks
01:05:12and sometimes even worse.
01:05:14You know,
01:05:14you think you're
01:05:15out of the inning,
01:05:15but all of a sudden
01:05:17you've got another
01:05:18out to get,
01:05:18and the offense
01:05:19has a great opportunity.
01:05:20They're looking
01:05:21to take advantage of
01:05:22and make you pay for.
01:05:24Johnston in the box here
01:05:25lets that one
01:05:26go for a ball.
01:05:31Runners on first
01:05:32and third.
01:05:33Two away.
01:05:35Now,
01:05:36this is in the air
01:05:37down the line.
01:05:38And that's a foul ball.
01:05:45Got him looking
01:05:46for the strikeout.
01:05:48They limit the damage here.
01:05:50Two men left stranded,
01:05:51but they do push across one.
01:05:53Through eight full.
01:05:55The Rays in front.
01:05:57Back here in Denver.
01:06:15Kevin Cash going with a pinch hitter here.
01:06:18Gavin Lux.
01:06:37And the leadoff man retired here in the ninth.
01:06:44up next for Tampa Bay,
01:06:46left fielder,
01:06:48Chandler Simpson.
01:06:55Right through there for a strike.
01:06:57Don't impress that he went right after him
01:06:58on that first pitch.
01:07:00That's the key.
01:07:00Try to get ahead in the count,
01:07:01and you can play around a little bit more
01:07:03as the bat expands.
01:07:05That misses the zone,
01:07:07and the count is one and one.
01:07:08Herget goes six feet,
01:07:10three inches,
01:07:1132 years old,
01:07:12and he was a sixth round draft pick
01:07:15back in 2015.
01:07:17So a man aboard now with one away.
01:07:24Just kept it simple.
01:07:26Blake Pepper with.
01:07:43Middle of the infield,
01:07:45and took it back where it came from,
01:07:46and there was just no one there
01:07:48to knock it down.
01:07:49Now it's going to be
01:07:51Junior Caminero.
01:07:59Runner on the goal.
01:08:01That's it for a strike.
01:08:03Throw, save.
01:08:04That's a stolen base.
01:08:14Man, it's second.
01:08:16Hit softly on the ground.
01:08:18Now the third,
01:08:19Karos.
01:08:20Tosses to first,
01:08:21and there's two away.
01:08:24Up next for Tampa Bay,
01:08:26the designated hitter,
01:08:28Jonathan Aranda.
01:08:36Now a pitch hitter coming on for the Rays.
01:08:38Jake Fraley looking for a two-out hit
01:08:40with a runner at scoring position.
01:08:51That's in there.
01:08:52It's 0-1.
01:08:58It's 0-1.
01:08:59Runner, runner, runner, runner.
01:09:00He's trying for third.
01:09:01Pitching for a strike.
01:09:03Throw bounces in, and he's safe.
01:09:06And now he's up to three stolen bases in the game.
01:09:09They are merciless.
01:09:10I'd say a questionable decision to steal third right there with a big lead.
01:09:14Probably won't be received well in the other dugout.
01:09:16Two outs and a runner at third.
01:09:18Here at the top of the ninth.
01:09:21Keeps the at-bat going with a foul ball.
01:09:34And a base hit knocks in a run.
01:09:43Kind of a risky pitch coming inside with the breaking ball like that.
01:09:47You have to bury it, otherwise it's not too difficult to get the bat to it like he did that
01:09:52time.
01:09:53And now Yandy Diaz got it started a little too early.
01:09:58Strike one.
01:10:00Fraley, the runner at first with two gone.
01:10:06And that is out of play.
01:10:17Inside, almost got him.
01:10:26Foul ball still a one and two count.
01:10:38On the ground to third.
01:10:40And it goes just foul.
01:10:51Now fly ball to right center.
01:10:53Doyle on the move to the gap.
01:10:55Pulls it down and he makes the catch.
01:10:58A run on two hits and they leave one.
01:11:01Six, seven, eight scheduled to start the bottom of the ninth.
01:11:06Back here at Coors Field.
01:11:08Now the left fielder, Tyler Freeman.
01:11:10Tyler Freeman.
01:11:18Out to short.
01:11:20Walls.
01:11:21Handles throws the first.
01:11:23One out, bottom of the ninth.
01:11:25Up next for the Rockies.
01:11:27Center fielder, Brenton Doyle.
01:11:34Doyle, thought that one missed and here comes a challenge.
01:11:38So the call will stand.
01:11:40One challenge remaining for them now.
01:11:52One down, base is empty here in the ninth.
01:11:56Hammers that one deep left field and forget it.
01:12:05A solo shot and they cut into the deficit.
01:12:21No matter how this outing ends, that pitch is going to haunt him for a while.
01:12:25An 0-2 mistake.
01:12:27That's supposed to be a pitch out of the zone.
01:12:29He left it in the spot that the hitter could do some damage with.
01:12:31And that's exactly what he did.
01:12:35Back stands in here, takes ball one low.
01:12:38One out, base is empty, and a run in.
01:12:41Here in the last half of inning number nine.
01:12:47Late on that fastball.
01:12:53Fights it off.
01:12:54Off you'll see another.
01:13:01Hard hit, left side.
01:13:03Walls throws to first.
01:13:05Rockies down to their final out.
01:13:10Now batting.
01:13:12Catcher number 74.
01:13:30They're down to their final strike.
01:13:50That turns out to be a really good take right there.
01:13:52But you don't want to end this game with the bat on your shoulder.
01:13:56Two down, nobody on.
01:13:57We're in the last half of the ninth inning.
01:13:59That one misses, and it's 3-2.
01:14:09In the air, center field.
01:14:11Mullins under it.
01:14:13And he'll make the catch.
01:14:15Ball game.
01:14:16And the Rays slug their way to a win in this one.
01:14:20Well, as much action as there was in this one,
01:14:23really impressive performance from the bats on the winning side.
01:14:27They gave up quite a few runs, but they still blew them out of the water.
01:14:30They have to be feeling pretty good about themselves offensively right now.
01:14:34Well, this one ends in a blowout for Chris Singleton
01:14:36and our entire outstanding crew here at MLB The Show.
01:14:40I'm John Chambi saying so long.
01:14:43We'll be the Lord.
01:14:49Why don't you lie to me?
01:14:54Why'd you stop crying to me?
01:15:00You said I'm all to blame.
01:15:06Why don't you come and take your name?
01:15:19My love
01:15:21Be used
