00:01Well it was announced earlier
00:02today that the 2020 MLB All-Star
00:05game presented by MasterCard will
00:07be played at Oracle Park for the
00:08first time in more than two
00:09decades.
00:10Well I mean it's as big a deal as
00:13the Super Bowl.
00:14It is super super exciting for
00:16the city on the hill tonight for
00:18the Giants will be the right
00:20hander Landon Rupp Rupp into his
00:23third year at the big league
00:24level twenty fourth start will
00:27be tonight through twenty three
00:28seven eleven with a four two two
00:30ERA a strikeout or did he Moni
00:33act first pitch swinging Cox Cox
00:38makes the catch.
00:41OK the ball's carrying but when
00:43he caught it he fell backward and
00:46right into the wire screen there
00:49is in front of the Giants bullpen.
00:52So a nice play Willie Castro third
00:54ball bounce softly towards short
00:56over from third to glove it
00:57Kennedy throws over the base inning
01:00over on the hill tonight for the
01:01Rockies will be the left handed
01:03veteran Kyle Freeland Freeland in
01:05his tenth year at the big league
01:06level former first round pick by
01:08the Rockies back in the 2014
01:10draft Devers two for ten he's still
01:13here I know there was some talk
01:15trying to trade him as Kyle
01:17strikes out Devers round one goes
01:20to Freeland before the All-Star
01:22break Kyle struck out nine first
01:26pitch swinging is Bryce Eldridge
01:28and first pitch grabbing in
01:30center field Jake McCarthy run
01:33field good size hitter he's got
01:36thirteen home runs fifty nine
01:38driven and he's hitting two ninety
01:39forty four three two pitch I'm not
01:44going to run field I'm not going
01:45to walk him not walk at least it
01:50was with a curveball hitting it
01:54two eighty three three homers forty
01:57three driven in Eldridge look at
02:01this one Eldridge two absolutely
02:05nothing to it says big old first
02:08baseman man Eldridge got a really
02:11tough hop and he handled it
02:13flawlessly might have caught him
02:15by surprise kind of impressed now
02:18swing ground ball wide of third
02:20over to his left to glove it is
02:21Kennedy here's the throw to first
02:23and Connor Norby is retired on one
02:26pitch and we're waiting on Zach
02:31being to get situated come on
02:41that's just a baseball play hit
02:45from being sinking fast and looked
02:48like it was going to get down for
02:49a hit but no from what we've seen
02:51Tovar over the last couple of
02:53years his average should be better
02:55than two oh seven should be around
02:56two sixty seven he lines it up
02:58the middle the Rockies have a
02:59base hit and for Ezekiel Tovar
03:02that's hit number four hundred and
03:04ninety nine in his career one shy
03:06of five hundred teams have played
03:09ten times this year they're five
03:10and five there's a shot to right
03:14and John Wooley is going to track it
03:16down Lee two good plays already in
03:20this inning man great jump on that
03:22one I thought maybe that was going
03:23to go over his head so now
03:25McCarthy bunts it's going to have
03:27to swing it and he slings it down
03:29the right field line the Sabi does a
03:31nice job and they're going to get
03:33McCarthy it was all by design what a
03:37wild play that was put that one in to
03:40work on in spring training next year
03:42worked like a charm oh man that's the
03:44old rope-a-dope they had the Rockies
03:47thinking one thing and oh no so a
03:50chaotic play ends the top of the
03:52third innings not what you can do and
03:54you're just trying to tag a guy and
03:56stab at him is it going to hang up
03:59it's going to hit the top of the
04:00ball no Koss has got a double McCarthy
04:04a good effort McCarthy he's been all
04:08over the place diving and stumbling
04:10and falling in the last few minutes
04:13and he made a good effort there just
04:14couldn't catch it so Koss has a one
04:17out double second hit for the Giants
04:20first runner in scoring position and
04:22it's Jonah Cox Cox now they know it's
04:27it's up to Cox oh my goodness that
04:34can't happen now what the heck is
04:37going on here in any ballpark you
04:40can't give it gift extra outs but
04:42this park it's hard to score and
04:44that's back to the middle of the
04:46diamond to the back to the first in
04:48time double play no harm a 6-3
04:52double play gets the Rockies out of
04:55trouble Mickey hit the ball to the
04:57wall and center and a very fine
05:00play by Jonah Cox with a leap at
05:02the wall who was able to as they
05:06say in the business stay off the
05:07barrel easy so that the gentleman
05:10down there is a little over 21 I've
05:13told you I think it's great what
05:15they do here I just I need to see
05:18him make that play that's all he
05:20did in the 40s swing and a miss by
05:24Moniak on the high four seamer
05:26forty four pitches for Rube he's
05:29been efficient so far and this is
05:32served to left a base hit for T.J.
05:35with two outs to T.J. has been
05:38aboard twice you've been talking
05:39about it drew its runs are premium
05:41here Troy Johnston to the plate
05:43left handed hitter drives the first
05:44pitch he sees deep to right center
05:46field Lee is going back into
05:48triple Sally it's down and it kicks
05:51away Grumfield's going to score
05:53easily Johnston's on his way to
05:55third with an RBI triple what
05:58nothing Colorado first triple of
06:01the year for Johnston he jumped on
06:04this ball too but he made it home
06:06that ball was just clobbered out
06:08towards 415 congratulations I love
06:13it just married there at the
06:14Rockies game in San Francisco
06:16Giants offense could stand to make
06:18this a little longer half inning
06:19just to give Landon Roof a chance
06:21to regroup Eldridge high drive
06:26center field race Eldridge a
06:32towering home run his 13th of the
06:36year to tie the game it's one to
06:40one and the thing about him when
06:43he hits it he makes it look easy
06:45they're not over swings Brett
06:46Sullivan against Landon Roof who's
06:48back to work and this ball is
06:50tagged to deep right center field
06:51this is ticketed toward triples
06:53alley and it is off the wall
06:56jungle Lee played it perfectly he
06:58prevented a triple there's a ball
07:00went right to him that's the second
07:02ball that is a homer in every
07:05great ballpark in North America
07:07except Oracle two base hit for
07:11Brett now first pitch swinging
07:12Jake McCarthy is going to ground it
07:15to Eldridge at first Jake is
07:18retired but he does get Sullivan
07:20to third so productive out here
07:25and the Rockies need to cash it in
07:28and this time it's a grounder hit
07:30up the short cost his throw is
07:32offline and Sullivan scores ahead of
07:35the Kinzer tag and the Rockies
07:38regain the lead when he put that
07:40right foot down he was after the
07:41races and you can see that left
07:42hand get in just ahead of the tag
07:46there's being San Martin warming up
07:48in the bullpen but right now manager
07:52Tony Vitello sticking with his
07:54starter Landon Roop this ball
07:56hammer deep right it is fair ball
08:00into the Cubby Cove Zach Vee stay
08:05hot to run home run a homer a day

08:13also keeps the doctor away for one
08:17in Colorado a no doubter whoo and
08:22tonight what a contrast from his
08:24last outing where he really
08:26labored in St. Louis you average
08:3015 pitches an inning that's
08:31terrific he's averaging tight
08:33eleven point six I'll give you a
08:36great opportunity to work deep
08:39into the evening he'll hit it up
08:41the middle it went by Freeland
08:44grabbed by Tovar low throws
08:46scooped out by Rumfield it's
08:48another one two three Kyle
08:51Freeland Kyle making his 30th
08:54career start against the Giants
08:56that's when he's faced any
08:58opponent well since the Rockies
09:00first season obviously in 93
09:01there's only been two other
09:03pitchers to make 30 or more
09:04starts against the Giants of
09:05course Clayton Kershaw being one
09:07of he had 61 but also Greg Maddox
09:10had 39 and he swings and misses
09:12got him on the knuckle curveball
09:15he's in a good place man he's got
09:17the Giants a little bit in a
09:18rocking chair you know what he
09:20does well he pitches to contact
09:21when he's good he'll have to put
09:25the ball in play but you're not
09:26going to get all of it you're
09:27going to be just short of it
09:28hard on the ground a third that's
09:30Willie Castro territory he's got
09:32it loads up that sidearm slade
09:34the Giants are going in order
09:35again Kyle Freeland is just
09:36cruising Kyle Freeland has retired
09:40seven straight Rockies starting to
09:43get some activity underway in
09:45their bullpen easy play for up
09:48field one out another ground ball
09:50out fun to be an infielder
09:52tonight Jeff it is this is what
09:53you live for this is why you work
09:55so hard popped up on the infield
09:58Rumfield calling Ford on the
10:00grass behind the mound TJ's got it
10:03two down once the Rockies took the
10:05lead in this game Kyle Freeland
10:07he's just not that he wasn't
10:08beforehand but he really he's just
10:10filling up the strike zone and
10:12making the Giants hit and they
10:13haven't figured him out yet such a
10:15great competitor hit the TJ
10:17Rumfield he'll get all three
10:19put outs what a night for Kyle
10:22Freeland eight innings of one run
10:24four hit ball he's getting hugs in
10:27the Rockies dugout that's generally
10:30an indication that your evening's
10:32done eight tremendous innings one
10:35run on four hits you know he looked
10:38like Corey Sullivan he looked like
10:40a talented veteran pitcher against
10:43a very young lineup so here is
10:46Willie Castro with the bases loaded
10:47Castro is 0 for 4 in the game this
10:50ball to deepen off left
10:53Barracotta makes the catch and this
10:56throw way off line and now he'll
11:00move up sack fly off the bat a
11:04Castro score Sullivan and it's 5 1
11:08Rockies with now two men in
11:11scoring position now the pitch
11:14ground ball to second bending down
11:16to get it wasabi straightens up
11:19throws him out at first but the
11:23Rockies at another and lead five to
11:25one bottom of the ninth inning in
11:27San Francisco the Rockies enjoying
11:28a four run lead and Brent
11:31Bernardino is on to get the last
11:34three outs after eight stupendous
11:36innings from Kyle Freeland he
11:38retired the final ten he faced
11:52first with a triple Devers who has
11:54not had a hit since this past
11:57Sunday he goes the other way and
12:00that's a big shot so Devers will
12:02round the bag he'll jog in the
12:04second that's a different
12:06specialty right there John who
12:09Lee has hit three ground balls to
12:11second where Connor Norby's
12:13station this is popped up and
12:15maybe play a ball it is that'll
12:19end the ball game Castro does not
12:21go over the railing and the
12:23Rockies with a five to two
12:25victory to open this series in
12:27San Francisco they've now won
12:29three consecutive games and
12:31they're four and three on the
12:34longest road trip of the year
