00:00Brandon Crawford just moments ago was presented with his 2021 Gold Glove in an on-field pre-game ceremony.
00:06Great family picture right there. That'll be our Christmas card this year, by the way, from the Crawford family.
00:11And for the Giants, one of their big-ticket additions this past winter, the flamethrowing left-hander Carlos Rodon.
00:17He signed a two-year, $44 million deal.
00:20Standing in against him is Jorge Soler, powerful right-headed hitter.
00:23Now he's seen two of those fastballs.
00:25The 0-2 pitch.
00:26Swing and a miss. He struck it out. 98 miles an hour up above the belt.
00:31And Soler is gone rather quickly.
00:34Here now is Garrett Cooper. He throws.
00:38Swing and a miss. He struck him out. 99-mile-an-hour heat on the outside.
00:43For the visiting Marlins today, Pablo Lopez makes his season debut.
00:46Pablo, 26 out of Venezuela. A season to go, 5-5, a 3.07 ERA.
00:51Mike Yastrzemski stands in. Lefty batting right fielder.
00:550-2 with a walk on opening day.
00:570-2. Swing and a miss. A high, hard one.
01:00And he strikes Yastrzemski. Got him to chase out of the zone.
01:03Right-handed pitching. Somewhat exclusive.
01:06That's what Jock Peterson has faced an awful lot.
01:09A little more of a platoon role last couple of years.
01:12Jock Peterson, the batter. Groundsman sharply.
01:14Diving to his left birdie. Great play at second base.
01:16He was shifted over. Comes up with it. Gets up.
01:19Throws to first for the out to end the inning.
01:21And Saeel Garcia leads off.
01:23Three infielders swung to the left of second against this right-handed batter.
01:261-2 pitch. Swing and a miss. He struck it out.
01:30And that was the slider again.
01:31So two down. And here comes Jesus Sanchez.
01:35Here's Rodin. The runner at second.
01:38Runner goes. The pitch. Swung and a miss.
01:40Yastrzemski struck it out with a fastball.
01:42The 98-mile-an-hour heater.
01:44He's got four strikeouts in the first two innings.
01:47Inning over. One hit, one back.
01:49Now Wilmer Flores.
01:51Here it comes.
01:52Swing and a hunk. Ground ball.
01:54Foul.
01:55Passed third.
01:56Just maybe three feet outside the bag at third.
01:59Down the left field line.
02:01The ball dude down the left field line.
02:03Fell over.
02:04Chasing after that one.
02:06Yep. Just dust yourself off and get ready to make another play.
02:10Easy, easy.
02:11Whoa, whoa.
02:122-2 to Flores. Swing and a miss.
02:14Lopez struck him out with a fastball.
02:1595 miles per hour.
02:17Pablo's second K of the day.
02:19Two down for Tyro Estrada.
02:210-2 to Estrada is over the outside corner.
02:24Strike three called in the inning.
02:26Here is Jacob Stallings.
02:27He had a big day yesterday for Miami.
02:302-2 pitch.
02:31Swing and a miss.
02:31He struck it out with a slider.
02:33And that's his fifth strikeout.
02:35He struck out five of the eight-hitters he's faced so far today.
02:38The Marlins will have a runner in scoring position for Solaire.
02:44On 2-2.
02:45Solaire swing and a miss.
02:46Ball gets away from Bart.
02:47Here comes Birdie.
02:48He's going to stand across the plate.
02:50He is in safely to score.
02:53Throw down to first base to complete the strikeout.
02:56And the Marlins have a 1-0 lead.
02:58That one got a little bit hairy out there.
03:00Aguilar who hit a fly ball to shallow center his first time.
03:04Now the pitch.
03:05Swing and a miss on a high fastball.
03:07He blew it right by him at 98.
03:09And he has seven strikeouts in three innings.
03:12However, he has fallen behind in the game.
03:16One run, one left.
03:18Here is Steven Duggar to lead off.
03:202-2 to Duggar.
03:21Swing and a miss.
03:22Pablo's got his strikeout.
03:23He rings Duggar up on a changeup.
03:25It's been a good pitch for him today.
03:26Two down.
03:27Nobody on for Mikey Stremski.
03:28Swing and a miss.
03:30Pablo Lopez strikes him out.
03:31Carlos Rodan about to face Aviciel Garcia.
03:37And he struck him out.
03:39And that's number eight for Rodan in three and a third innings.
03:43Here's Miguel Rojas.
03:45Hit very softly.
03:46Rodan over to get it.
03:47The off-balance thrown.
03:49It's right there.
03:50So it's two outs.
03:51And that'll bring up Brian Anderson.
03:54And the pitch.
03:56Swing and a miss.
03:57He struck him out with a high fastball at 98.
04:00Nine strikeouts for Carlos Rodan.
04:03Belt hit a home run just over Levi's landing in the game yesterday.
04:09Belt left the hitter and a fly ball left his first time.
04:11Two for nine all the time against Pablo.
04:13And here's a swing and a miss.
04:15Sanchez struck out swinging in the second inning.
04:18Breaking ball.
04:19Strike three call.
04:20And that is strikeout number ten and the very first one looking.
04:27Here's Stallings.
04:28Stallings struck out swinging in the third inning.
04:33So 0-2 to Stallings.
04:35Here's the pitch.
04:36Swing and a miss.
04:37He threw him a breaking ball.
04:39Strikeout number 11.
04:40How about that?
04:41And that'll bring up Garrett Cooper.
04:442-2 pitch.
04:45Here it is.
04:46It's coming up to Garrett Cooper.
04:49Swing and a miss.
04:51He got him to end the inning.
04:5412 strikeouts and they're on their feet here at Oracle Park for Carlos Rodan.
05:00Duggar struck out in the third.
05:02Duggar had a really nice spring.
05:04Good swing going.
05:06And it's 0-5 on the season.
05:08And the pitch to Duggar and a drive to left field and nobody's there.
05:14Solaire picks it up.
05:15On the move is Estrada.
05:16This is going to tie the bowl game.
05:19Into second base is Duggar.
05:21It's 1-1.
05:23Two on with two outs and back to the top of the order.
05:25And Mikey Estremski.
05:27The 3-2 runners go.
05:28Bouncing ball to the second baseman.
05:30Birdie has it.
05:31Throws the first inning over.
05:34So they get out of it without any further damage.
05:36Got a man at second.
05:37Nobody out.
05:38And here's Jesus Sanchez.
05:39The Giants get the lefty-lefty matchup here.
05:42All right.
05:42Counts full to Sanchez.
05:44McGee's pitch is lined to left for a base.
05:46Hit the lefty.
05:47Delivers.
05:47Anderson waved at third.
05:49He's coming home.
05:50And the Marlins have the lead.
05:51It's 2-1 in the seventh.
05:53Nicely done, Jesus Sanchez.
05:55So here comes Garrett Cooper.
05:58The 0-1 pitch.
05:59Ground ball to first.
06:00Right to belt.
06:01He's got it.
06:02He'll turn and take it to the bag for the out.
06:05Inning over.
06:05So 2 down.
06:07And now it's up to the rookie catcher, Joey Bart.
06:10Another 0-2.
06:11Bart.
06:12Line drive on a hop.
06:13Nice play by Rojas to his right.
06:15Gets up.
06:15Goes to second.
06:16They get the force on Estrada.
06:18And Solcer and the Marlins escape the inning.
06:20And now Wilmer Flores is the Giants' last chance.
06:24Last chance.
06:25Could also tie the game with one swing of the bat.
06:27And this is a guy who, as I met, hit a lot of home runs against the Marlins over the
06:30years.
06:32Slow roller left side.
06:34Miggy barehands.
06:35Throws.
06:37Got him.
06:38It's a Marlins win.
06:41They hold off the Giants.
06:43Bounce back after a tough one on opening day yesterday.
06:47And win this one 2-1.
06:50Anthony Bender.
06:52What a job to bounce back after yesterday.
06:55The blown save.
06:56Gets hairy a little bit here in the ninth inning.
06:59But he's up to the task.
07:00Well, listen, no doubt.
07:01Never a doubt.
