00:20live from sacramento california tuesday baseball on the show it's the tampa bay rays taking on the
00:28athletics all right we'll be back to get this one started after this
00:40and pitching in this one for the a's luis morales what should we keep an eye on here
00:46well last time out he's only able to complete four innings but really battle didn't have his
00:51best stuff i look for him to be better in this one all right just about ready for baseball
00:56chandler simpson digs in now
01:00and we are underway
01:04first pitch 640
01:19no that's it
01:31the two one
01:34misses just off the outside edge i think that was a strike evidently not too impressed with that call
01:40and it feels like he got squeezed on the outside corner so he's making his case you've got to be
01:46careful to pick your spots in terms of showing your frustration with the umpire and he felt this was
01:51his time
01:58swing and a ball lifted left field
02:02soderstrom takes it in for the out one away
02:07now a look at kevin cash's lineup for the tampa bay rays a guy who's been huge for them over
02:13the last month plus yandy diaz and you got to love what he's doing at the plate right now making
02:18waves all around the league he's on the highlight shows every night every morning man this hitting streak which stands
02:24at 18 games coming in is amazing so we'll see if he can keep it rolling today
02:30not sure if he was expecting for the pitcher to come right at him but he got a nice cookie
02:34there and just watched it the entire way
02:37gets the strike that was the sweeper
02:47and a foul ball he stays alive
02:59fights it off he'll see another
03:08and the o2
03:11got him swinging
03:13got him out on the front foot
03:14couldn't keep the hands back long enough
03:16and played right into the hands of the pitcher
03:21now here is junior camanero
03:24worm burner into the outfield for a knock
03:30and that keeps the inning going
03:42ball
03:43Diaz
03:44matched a homer in his last game
03:54and that is out of play
04:07just off the outside edge
04:09ball two
04:17this one in the air center field
04:19Bolte gets under it
04:23and that is that
04:27one hit one left
04:28and the a's will get their first opportunity in a scoreless ball game
04:37we go to the bottom of the first
04:38and on the mound for Tampa Bay in this one
04:41Ryan Pepeo
04:42singing he's kind of a road warrior
04:45yeah
04:45I definitely say so
04:47you know some guys shrink a little bit on the road
04:49they're so used to just
04:50having the comforts of being at home
04:52and having the fans behind them
04:54but this guy seems to thrive in adversity
04:57and being in some hostile environment
04:59so when you have a player like this on your team
05:02that goes out there and competes
05:03you definitely like your chances away from your home ballpark
05:19the two one
05:23oh can't pick it up cleanly
05:26safe at first
05:28don't play
05:28we'll see how they score this
05:30leadoff man aboard on the air
05:33and that puts your pitcher in a little bit of a tough spot
05:35right away to start the inning
05:37not where you want to be
05:38so we'll see if he's able to work around it
05:41and pick the defense up
05:43here's a big power threat
05:44Nick Kurtz
05:45oh he doesn't get the call
05:47ball one
05:49Soderstrom on at first
05:50nobody out
05:51singing he's currently the team leader
05:53and runs scored
05:57next offering is fouled back
06:03foul ball left side
06:04he'll see another
06:11on the ground two ball
06:13glove flip for one
06:15to Diaz
06:16that's two
06:17they made that double play look so easy
06:19but it was far from routine
06:20that's the one thing about big leaguers
06:22they make tough plays
06:24look simple
06:34fly ball down the line
06:40and the inning is over
06:45scoreless after one
06:53we move ahead to the top of the second now
06:55and stepping in for the raise
06:57Johnny DeLuca
06:57Johnny DeLuca
07:03DeLuca
07:03DeLuca in his fourth year
07:05hitting fifth in today's lineup
07:07he's knocked in nine over his last ten games
07:23and there's a foul ball
07:33the one two
07:36swings and blasts one deep to left center
07:39that's a base hit
07:46back against the wall with two strikes
07:48but found a way
07:49and now let's see if they force some action
07:51with good wheels on the bases
08:00there goes the runner
08:01pitch in for a strike
08:04throw there
08:05safe
08:10that was close
08:11but StatCast shows us why he so often
08:14seems to be on the safe side of these steal attempts Chris
08:17yeah you see that plus speed
08:19and he needed every last bit of it to swipe that bag
08:23such a threat on the bases
08:25that one finds the zone
08:27that is strike two
08:28Kelly left that change up
08:30got away with one there
08:32and he'll take it
08:33but doesn't want to make that mistake again
08:35on the ground right side
08:38on to first
08:39one out in the second
08:40not a bad outcome in that spot
08:42the runner moves up to third
08:43and now they have a chance to drive in the go-ahead run
08:46it's not a knock
08:47but at the end of the day
08:48it's a good at bat
08:50Hesung Kim
08:50next to hit for the Rays
08:52good defender
08:53he's been inconsistent offensively
08:58and there's a strike
08:59good heater at 98
09:10line drive base hit
09:14run scores easily
09:16and it's 1-0
09:20mission accomplished there
09:22as he picks up the RBI
09:23to give him the lead
09:24showed a willingness to drive that pitch
09:26the opposite way
09:27didn't get jumpy
09:28didn't try to pull the ball
09:30he let it get deep
09:31took the barrel right to it
09:33and then extended through the swing
09:34for the line drive base hit
09:39that one fouled off
09:50deal one
09:52out towards right center field
09:56nice grab on the road
09:58and there's two down
10:05now it's the shortstop
10:07taylor walls
10:15here comes the pitch
10:16there goes the runner from first
10:17that's in for a strike
10:19throw safe
10:20when you're trying to swipe a bag
10:21against an elite level arm
10:23behind the plate like this guy
10:24you better get a great jump
10:26and hope that your speed
10:27can finish this job
10:28that was a great jump right there
10:30really nice deal
10:31at second base
10:36man at second
10:38that clips the corner
10:40and at bat like this
10:41is almost over
10:42as it begins
10:44in this situation
10:45you have no idea
10:46what the next pitch is going to be
10:47you just got to hope
10:48that you can make contact
10:49gets a piece
10:50and stays alive
11:00into center
11:03got it
11:05nice grab
11:06and that is that
11:07but the RBI single
11:09pushes across a run
11:10it's an early 1-0 lead
11:13you're watching
11:14Tampa Bay Rays baseball
11:15on the show
11:17bottom half of inning number 2
11:19and now here's the A's catcher
11:21Shea Langeleers
11:28Langeleers
11:29with a homer
11:30in his last game
11:33the 0-1
11:36and a foul ball
11:45that's foul
11:46off to the right side
11:47keeps the A-B going
11:50here's the 0-2
11:53got him
11:54and there's one down
12:06Gellar
12:07wants to challenge this
12:09thought it was a ball
12:11good eye at the plate
12:12they'll overturn the call
12:13so they still got both
12:15their challenges
12:22ball two
12:30ball
12:36here's a 3-0
12:38and that's ball four
12:40it's tough after falling
12:41behind a hitter
12:42two balls
12:42and no strikes
12:43but now at least
12:44he gets a fresh start
12:45against a new batter
12:46but he needs to get back
12:48into the strike zone
12:49and start pitching
12:50with conviction
12:53Lawrence Butler
12:54batting with one down
12:55takes a strike
13:00good slider down
13:01and in can be so hard
13:03to get on playing with
13:04you're better off
13:04taking that pitch
13:08man at first
13:09one away
13:11foul ball
13:12still
13:12a 1-2
13:13count
13:17stays alive
13:24cuts and misses
13:26it's a strikeout
13:27well that was the cutter
13:28down and in right there
13:29and typically
13:30if you're going to have
13:31a chance with the pitch
13:32if it's down
13:33that's your best chance
13:34of doing anything
13:35with it
13:36it's kind of like
13:36a mini slider
13:37just with a little less
13:38vertical movement
13:39but still
13:40gets him easily
13:41ends the inning
13:42we play two innings
13:43it's one to nothing
13:54welcome back
13:55as we take a check
13:56of the current standings
14:09Chandler
14:09close but call the ball
14:11ball one
14:12I thought that was a strike
14:13and here's a challenge
14:15it just shaved the zone
14:18still two challenges left
14:20for them
14:25he'll one
14:28and he grounds one
14:29to the right side
14:30Cortez
14:32leadoff man
14:33retired here
14:33in the third
14:37Singy
14:37here's a look
14:38at his pitch breakdown
14:39for the game
14:40well he's known
14:41for that four-seamer
14:42Boog
14:42and we've seen
14:43plenty of it
14:43from him today
14:44you don't throw
14:45one pitch this much
14:46without having
14:47plenty of confidence
14:48in it
14:48and he's limited
14:49the damage so far
14:50nothing too bad
14:51might stick with
14:52this approach
14:54ground ball
14:55off the middle
14:55that's a base hit
14:58so they get a man
14:59aboard with a one
15:00out single
15:02up next for Tampa Bay
15:03the designated hitter
15:04Junior

15:22with one gone
15:24well that started
15:25and ended pretty quickly
15:26no messing around
15:27right there
15:27wasn't able to elevate
15:28that one
15:29but he sure hit it
15:30hard enough
15:30to get through
15:31the infield
15:31there's not a whole
15:32lot of time
15:33for the defenders
15:33to react
15:34and try to make
15:35a play
15:35when it's ripped
15:36like that
15:39ball
15:40all eyes
15:41on the double
15:41play ball
15:42in this spot

17:32since you're heading
17:33to count 1-2

18:26of the order

18:27fielder
18:27Tyler Soderstroke
18:31this guy is just
18:32filling up the strike
18:33zone right now
18:34don't want to get
18:35yourself in an 0-2
18:36hole
18:36you better be ready
18:36to pull the trigger
18:37on the first pitch
18:39and it's fouled away
18:48battling here
18:48as he fouls it away
18:55two down
18:56two down
18:56nobody on
18:58tough to take a
18:59two strike changeup
19:00that just missed
19:02I think it froze him
19:10swing and a ground ball
19:12in the middle
19:12that's a base hit
19:14and the tying run
19:16is on base
19:18he's been swinging
19:19in really well
19:20lately
19:20timing on the swing
19:21was good
19:22able to shoot the ball
19:23up the middle
19:23didn't square it up
19:24as much as he probably
19:25would have liked
19:26but that's a good
19:27approach paying off
19:30here comes
19:310-1
19:32swing and a miss
19:34and that's strike
19:34two
19:35Zingy he's been
19:36one of the best
19:37players in baseball
19:37in terms of scoring
19:38runs
19:39in fact
19:39his numbers
19:40placed in top five
19:41in the league
19:42that was pretty nasty
19:43the A's strand
19:45won
19:45they still trail
19:461-0
19:54all set
19:55for the start
19:55of the inning
19:55and stepping in
19:57for the Rays
19:57Cedric Mullins
19:58Mullins
20:06you know
20:06his home run
20:07numbers in his
20:07last ten games
20:08have been really good
20:09he's been a
20:10difference maker
20:11in their lineup
20:14and that's it
20:14for a strike
20:15and it's 0-2
20:25look at
20:25straighten him
20:26up a little bit
20:35here's a 1-2
20:39down to the dirt
20:40swing and a miss
20:42got him
20:43one away
20:44on the strikeout
20:45way out in front
20:46of that inside pitch
20:47there
20:47just exactly
20:48the opposite
20:49kind of approach
20:50that you want
20:51with two strikes
20:52you want to let
20:52the ball travel
20:53make sure you
20:54recognize it
20:54try to shorten up
20:55so that you can
20:56at least put the
20:57ball in play
20:58clearly fooled
20:59but I think even
21:00more so
21:00you question the
21:01two strike approach
21:05the 1-0
21:18popped up foul territory
21:20behind the plate
21:22two away down
21:27up next for Tampa Bay

22:18nobody on
22:19top half
22:20of inning
22:20number four

22:24went with the
22:24sweeper
22:31keeps the
22:32at-bat
22:33going
22:33with a foul
22:33ball
22:39and a
22:40payoff pitch
22:43popped up
22:45Langoliers

22:49the third
22:49out
22:52Rays held
22:52in check
22:53here
22:53they lead it
22:541-0
23:00welcome back
23:01as we take a peek
23:02at the starting
23:03pitching so far
23:04this year
23:14he's been pitching
23:15well but we'll see
23:16what kind of
23:17adjustment the
23:17hitters make
23:18this second time
23:19through the order
23:19we'll know if he's
23:21got really good stuff
23:21in this one or not
23:30next offering in there
23:32for a strike
23:32that strike
23:33one
23:38and a strike
23:46that's foul off to the
23:47right side
23:48keeps the A.B.
23:49going
23:54swing and a miss
23:55struck him out
23:56and that's four
23:57strikeouts
23:58well that right there
23:59is just a pitcher's pitch
24:00tailing away from the
24:01hitter
24:02low and away
24:03with some good
24:03action at the end
24:05you know even if he
24:05gets the bat
24:06to that ball
24:07it's probably just a
24:08weak ground ball
24:08to the opposite side
24:10tell you what
24:10that's a tremendous
24:11two strike pitch
24:19ball
24:25this guy's got a great

24:34fouled off
24:37the 1-2
24:41this one in the
24:42air center field
24:44Mullins has a
24:45beat on it
24:47and there are two
24:49down
24:52and here's a look
24:54at how he's using
24:55his pitches in this
24:55one
24:59now the third
25:00baseman
25:00Zach Gelaw
25:01walked his first
25:03time
25:07swing and a ground
25:08ball up the middle
25:09on the run
25:10throw to first
25:11but it's not in time
25:13base hit
25:14did a nice job
25:14getting there
25:15good throw
25:16but very difficult
25:17to get anybody
25:18on that one
25:20as far as you
25:20had to go
25:21and throw
25:22you know
25:23yeah no question
25:41nobody on the team
25:42has more stolen
25:43bases than he does
25:44this season
25:44Chris
25:48foul ball
25:49still 0-2
25:53tying run
25:54is at first
25:55we're here
25:56in the bottom
25:56of the fourth
25:57swing and a ball
25:58lifted to center field
26:00that is the inning
26:03it's the Rays 1
26:04and the A's nothing
26:09welcome back
26:10welcome back
26:40pitch in the Rays
26:41and the Rays
26:43the Rays
27:02the Rays
27:04especially with two strikes challenge from behind a dish here not far out of
27:10the zone but it was a ball so they'll lose their first challenge
27:22got him looking for the strikeout please not four strikeouts now
27:39oh and one filthy chase up right there just pulled the string
27:49back up the middle in a base hit so a man aboard now with one away just so sound in
27:57his mechanics
27:58hits against a firm front side and the hands just continue to carry through the middle of the
28:04field there comes a skipper out of the dugout and he's ready to make the move luis morales gives way
28:11and they trail as he exits but he kept them close a new arm will be on the mound after
28:17the break
28:17now pitching pitching change here elvis alvarado well walks have certainly been an issue for him
28:25this season so we'll see what kind of command he has run around at first with one gone down the
28:32number two hitter jonathan aranda alvarado keeping him close one for two run around the goal pitches
28:45high throw to second oh that goes to show you stealing a base is a tough thing to do and
28:52far from a sure
28:52thing even with big time speed it's not easy to catch him but that was a great catch and throw
28:57quick
28:58not rushed and accurate
29:09two down nobody on foul ball there
29:25swing and a high fly ball pretty well struck right field that one ops against the fence
29:33safely into second he's got a double
29:37a lot of times in today's game right fielders are able to get to a ball that stays in like
29:42that
29:42he hit that one pretty well and if he hits it just a little bit different on the barrel
29:47it's out of here easily but there's nothing wrong with the extra bases right there
29:55swung on belted that's got a chance out of here
30:04the two-run shot home run number 30 on the year and they tack on to their lead it's three
30:11nothing
30:12that's his third straight game with a homer singing this dude is on fire boom these kinds of streaks just
30:18don't come around too often well he almost robbed the home run right there and i tell you what he'd
30:23love another crack at it during batting practice you always like to work on that and so close but
30:29that one was just out of his reach yandy diaz next to hit for the raise
30:37base is empty two away but two runs are in and we're at the top of the fifth
30:45this one in the year center field bolte moving under this one and that'll do it
30:55the rays with a two-run homer home half of the fifth coming up this is rays baseball on the
31:01show florida
31:06we head to the bottom of the fifth the batter will be the shortstop jacob wilson when he steps
31:12into the batter's box the comfort level looks so high it doesn't matter what kind of delivery
31:17that pitcher has what kind of velocity what kind of secondary stuff he is so settled in there he
31:23owns the home plate area ground ball right side and that's just foul here's a one one
31:32no that's the ball
31:41a little out front there as he swings through it well and those hitters count sometimes can be a
31:47little too aggressive and a good pitcher will play off of that he's got to get a better pitch to
31:51hit
31:51next offering popped in the air right field and there's one down
31:58up net for the a the center fielder number 33 and three
32:06ball one the rays leading by three last half of inning number five ball
32:23swing and a chopper out to short whips it to first all half of the fifth inning moving along two
32:30quick
32:30outs up net for the a the second baseman two down base is empty carlos cortez the next to hit
32:39fly to
32:40center his first time he's old for one
32:44and immediately pumps in a strike to the left-handed hitter
32:50gets the slider in there for a strike now this offense has just been locked down almost five full
32:56innings of shutout baseball out towards right center field mullins on the move to the gap
33:02and that is the third out of the inning
33:06he continues to roll on the mound as five shutout innings are in the books
33:11raise three and the a's nothing
33:16we're back with a look at key moments so far in this one
33:44they turn things over to the southpaw jose suarez
33:49and one thing on him he's been really good this season at keeping the ball on the park
33:54not an easy guy to take deep
34:01first pitch not close well the game plan for this offense has been pretty clear
34:05they're being aggressive at the plate but still finding ways to pick their spots without falling
34:10into the habit of being over aggressive so far they've got seven hits within the first three
34:15pitches of an at-bat so there's been no time to get comfortable on the mound
34:22oh that got away from him and he's gonna reach on a hit by pitch to lead off the inning
34:27the center fielder so man aboard so next to the plate for tampa bay cedric mullins
34:40right through there for a strike well we call that key holy even though it's right there and
34:45looks pretty good if he doesn't love it he's not going to swing that early in the count
34:50that's the strike and of course sometimes you need to be patient as an offense and let the pitcher
34:55come to you but you can't argue with the game plan they're using in this one
35:02field two out to center volte in position and there's one down
35:16up next for tampa bay the second baseman pet song kim
35:30ball
35:31deluca the runner at first with one gone in the inning
35:36step off throw to first deluca dives back in safely
35:48here's the pitch run around the goal strike in there and that's a stolen base not even close
35:55looks like the base runner had a pretty good feel on the pitcher's move after that pick over
35:59seemed to settle in and he took off right away nice job of stealing second right there
36:11up the middle
36:24up the middle
36:28i'm curious how he decides to attack on the mound this guy at the plate has been great hitting under
36:33pressure this year down the middle for a strike
36:37in this situation the batter's got to know what the pitcher's trying to do to him and that's
36:42trying to get him to hit the ball on the ground get two for one ground ball left side could
36:47be two
36:47slings to second on the first double play one error in the inning but it doesn't hurt him top of
36:54the order
36:54due up in the home half of the six the rays lead in three nothing you're watching tampa bay
37:00rays baseball on the show florida well we go bottom six now here's the lead off hitter for the a's
37:09tyler soderstro
37:13fall
37:23this one rip but foul to the right
37:33and that's downstairs and it's two and one
37:40just missed this doesn't seem to want to throw him a fastball
37:47that one misses take your lead off walk that could jump start an offense that's really struggled to
37:53score in this one don't want to wake a team up with the free pass
37:59it's so important to get ahead of these hitters you don't want to issue a free pass and allow that
38:03tying run to come to the plate i was going to keep that other team in a position where if
38:07they're
38:07going to beat you they're going to have to do it with multiple hits barely a hair out of the
38:12zone but it was a ball it'll keep their remaining challenge oh this guy in the mountains done a lot
38:17better than we would have expected and the hitters just don't seem to have the right
38:22game plan they're taking too many mistake pitches for called strikes fair ball lead runner to second
38:28so two on and nobody out
38:32just a simple ground ball the other way you had eyes on it man sometimes that's all you need to
38:37do
38:37just let the ball travel put the ball in play and just hope it finds a hole big at bat
38:42for brent
38:42rooker now and that's in there at the knees for a strike
38:53liner caught at second
38:57nothing you can do about those as a hitter even though you know that they still driving absolutely crazy
39:07oh great stop off balance feed there's one what a double play that was hitting over well we can
39:15never overstate it pitcher's best friend right there double play gets out of the jam saves some pitches
39:21what you want for me tell me what you want for me and not give it to you
39:26you a 10 yeah you a 10 yeah new kids on the black like 86 yeah
39:33we go to the top of the seventh and stepping in for the raise
39:54the a's bullpen has some movement brady basso the lefty looks to be getting himself ready
40:00but dina also throwing
40:06a one down
40:07uh the ground out to short
40:14that's the first out the top of the seven
40:19up next for tampa bay the left fielder chandler simpson
40:37oh
40:38well in an oh count not every strike is a good strike for a hitter
40:42i like the plate discipline there
40:48that one finds the zone oh with two down
41:01foul ball left side he'll see another
41:23and it's fouled off they'll do it again
41:26flew open a little bit with that front shoulder but was able to slow his back down just enough to
41:30make contact with that pitch keep the bat alive
41:39and that's downstairs and outside this guy's a fun guy to watch taking it bad he just battles up there
41:45he
41:45doesn't take a pitch off at all makes it so difficult on the pitchers out there you can tell
41:50they get frustrated with how long it takes to put him away slow roller to third and it goes just
41:56foul
42:01comes to two
42:02two
42:06goes down swinging for the strikeout he battled for a long time but it finishes with a strikeout
42:12you can't be mad at yourself after a bat like that one
42:16two outs space is empty so next to the plate for tampa bay jonathan aranda
42:38late on that fastball throwing the ball well and they need this scoreless inning and relief
42:43right here and doing a good job keeping him in striking distance
42:49stays alive
43:00two down nobody on
43:13fouled off and they'll do it again
43:37that's too late ball three wow this guy's really battling up there as if
43:42his run is the game winning run i love his tenacity
43:48swing and a miss and he chases that one in the dirt
43:51got him getting over on the strikeout
43:58raise three and the a's nothing
44:07now pitching for the now on the bump cole sulcer
44:10one well he struggled quite a bit so this is another opportunity to get on the right track
44:15he's given up more than one hit per any pitch so far this season
44:20yellow yellow that's a ball
44:25let's go hey
44:30ball
44:39Swing and a ball popped up one up one down that was a good pitch to hit right down the
44:48heart of
44:48the plate had pretty good timing on it just got underneath a little bit and popped it up
44:53Laurence Butler up next to the A's
44:59pitching has been pretty dominant in this one but you got to be careful not
45:03working with too big a lead they can get right back in this ball game if you're
45:06not careful swung on popped up left side he's got it out number two the batter
45:13number five shortstop Jager
45:25on the ground right side and that one handled throws the first in time that's
45:31the third out A's go quickly and quietly there they trail it here three nothing
45:41welcome back in a new arm of the mound to start the eighth Luis Medina pretty tight
45:46game so they're looking for quality pitches out of them right here got to do
45:50his best to keep the score right where it is
45:55leading off for him and now here is junior Camonero can't forget the two-run shot he
46:01launched out of here in the fifth yeah one of the biggest swings of the game
46:04Boog as he looks to make even more of an impact in this at bat right here
46:19that's a strike that one ran inside almost got him
46:41ball two this one in the year center field
46:55Bolte settles under it and there's one down
47:03up next for Tampa Bay the first baseman number two
47:06Yankee and a little something extra at stake in this at bat as he's hit list so
47:11far with his hitting streak in jeopardy
47:30Medina six one writing he features a four seam fastball a slider a two seamer a curb and he works
47:39in a changeup
47:42ground ball left side and a foul ball
47:55got him two up two down here at the top of the gate
47:58came inside with that two strike fastball nicely and just bunched him up on the
48:03inside part of the plate could get around on it and catch it out front
48:06many times if you do it's a foul ball and you know a lot of pitchers they really
48:10don't like working inside with two strikes because they do not want to hit
48:14that batter and when they've got him up against the ropes got to figure out a way
48:17to put him away did a nice job right there
48:25no that's too high
48:35hit in the air center field Bolte on his way over pulls it down and he makes the catch and
48:42that'll do it so they make short work of them there last half of the eighth coming up raise three
48:48and the A's nothing
48:52on to the bottom of the eighth digging in Henry Bolte number 33 Henry on the ground right side but
49:00that rolls foul well it's critical right here that they bear down and turn in some quality at bats try
49:06to chip away at that lead because if it gets to the ninth that closer is coming in and they're
49:11at the knees for a strike
49:19that's a ball that's a ball tried to attack with the sweeper
49:25swing at a pop-up in foul ground one down
49:34up net for V.A. the second baseman Carlos
49:40Cortez
49:494-1
50:03Yeah, there's a strike
50:04The Rays leading by three
50:07Here's the bottom half of the eighth inning
50:10Liner to second
50:11And picked on the hop
50:12The throw to first
50:14Fine playing the hole for the out
50:16I wasn't sure if he was going to get to this one or not
50:18Had to go a pretty good way there in the shallow right field
50:21But then after that
50:22It's a tough angle after you square up your shoulders
50:24And throw to first base
50:25Not the normal position
50:26But a really good job defensively right there
50:36Stop for the A's
50:37Tyler Soderstroh
50:41And first offering is fouled off
50:51Foul ball
51:00And he'll do it again
51:07Two down
51:07Nobody on
51:09And a foul ball
51:10He stays alive
51:11Also really good at bat
51:13What I like about this guy
51:14His back stays in the zone for a long time
51:16Gives him the ability to foul off tough pitches
51:19Swings through that one
51:20It's a strikeout
51:21Nothing doing there for the A's
51:23Still down
51:243-0
51:27And welcome back to the ballpark
51:30Here's the center fielder
51:31Number 31
51:32Mullins
51:58In the center and a base hit
52:03And the leadoff man aboard
52:06Right there does a great job of staying in the big part of the field
52:09Man there are a lot of hits there
52:14Quick move to first
52:15Mullins
52:16Back in on the dive
52:25No that's the ball
52:27Too low
52:35And that's off the inside edge
52:38And that's ball two
52:41Mullins
52:42Gets his lead at first
52:43Nobody out
52:49Yep
53:02This to center field
53:06Grabs it on the run
53:08One away
53:12Up next to Tampa Bay
53:13One out man at first
53:15And now
53:16Nick Fortes
53:170 for 3 in this one
53:22And that misses
53:24And that's ball one
53:26Catcher challenge
53:27We'll take another look
53:31He-haw
53:41It's a 1-1
53:44He swings and fouls one off
53:54Quick toss first
53:56And he dives back in safely
54:031-2 now
54:05Ball two
54:17And there's a ball
54:29Grounded to third
54:30Could be two
54:31Fired to second
54:32And it's a double play
54:34In the inning
54:36No runs
54:36One hit
54:37No errors
54:37And no one left
54:382-3-4
54:40Set to hit
54:40In the bottom of the ninth
54:41The Rays in front
54:433-0
54:44This is Rays Baseball
54:46On the show
54:47Florida
54:51Now pitching for
54:52Garrett Clevenger
54:53Gets handed the rock
54:54Out of the pen
54:55He's averaging more than
54:56One hit allowed
54:57Per inning pitch
54:58This season
54:59And that's not where
55:00You want to be at all
55:00So
55:01We'll see how he does
55:02Here
55:08And a slider
55:09Misses down and away
55:17Big at bat right here
55:18He did the team thing
55:19Took until he got a strike
55:21Now he's got to go to work
55:23Shorten up that swing a little bit
55:24Do whatever it takes
55:25To get on base
55:26And that is downstairs
55:28And it's 2-1
55:34Got the bat going
55:35Too soon
55:36It's strike two
55:44And it remains
55:452-2
55:53That was the sweeper
55:54But it missed
56:04Fouls that off
56:05To the left
56:06And will do it again
56:08Playoff pitch
56:11Battling here
56:12As he fouls it away
56:21Got him swinging
56:22For the strikeout
56:23He didn't make it easy
56:25For him on the mound
56:26But they still get the strikeout
56:27But we saw a solid effort
56:29Out of their starter
56:30And the bullpen
56:30Is following suit
56:31It's just a good day
56:32As a manager
56:33Or as a pitching coach
56:34When you can hand them all off
56:35To multiple arms
56:36And get stability
56:38From all of their performances
56:41The lefty the 1-0
56:52Swing and a miss
56:53I guess you throw it that hard
56:55You can get away with locations like that
56:57Right down the middle
56:58But I still think it's a dangerous pitch
57:00Don't want to do it again
57:08And a 1-2 again
57:11Chopped left side
57:14Over to Diaz
57:15The A's down to their final out
57:17Up next for the A's
57:20The catcher
57:23Two down bases empty
57:25And here's the catcher
57:26Shea Langoliers
57:27Ball one
57:29No strikes
57:30Now this manager knows
57:31That his players
57:32Are just trying to do too much
57:34Everybody needs to
57:34Just take a deep breath
57:35Relax
57:36And let it naturally happen
57:40That one fouled off
57:44This could end it
57:47On the ground to the left
57:49And foul ball
57:51Two down
57:52Don't want to Yon
57:54Swing and a miss
57:55Struck him out
57:56And that is the ball game
57:57This is just a nice win
57:593-0 ball game
58:00You feel comfortable
58:01About the three runs
58:02That you score
58:02But you also know
58:03That if you're not careful
58:04A bloop
58:05A base hit
58:06And a home run
58:06Ties everything up
58:07But it was great pitching
58:08Timely hitting
58:09Really made the difference
58:10A shutout in this one
58:123-0
58:13Our final score
58:14For Chris Singleton
58:15And our entire crew
58:16Here at MLB The Show
