00:00:20From inside Tropicana Field in Tampa Bay,
00:00:24the show brings you a matchup of division rivals.
00:00:27It's the Baltimore Orioles taking on the Tampa Bay Rays.
00:00:34First pitch coming at you right after the break.
00:00:41Our starting pitcher in this one, Nick Martinez.
00:00:45And Singy, it's unique these days, but he's more of a pitch to contact type of guy.
00:00:50Yeah, Boogie doesn't rely too heavily on the strikeout.
00:00:53He knows he needs to miss barrels, get some soft contact, let the defense do work behind him.
00:00:59And I think a guy like that can keep a good tempo, don't give hitters time to adjust or think.
00:01:04They could move through a ball game and you look up, they're in line for a quality start.
00:01:08We'll see what he's got in this one.
00:01:11The 0-1.
00:01:14And a big swing and a miss.
00:01:16The Rays would love to get a win in this one to boost their postseason hopes.
00:01:21In the air to left center.
00:01:26He's got it.
00:01:27And there's one down.
00:01:30All right, let's take a look at the Orioles lineup now.
00:01:33The home run, a big part of the equation when it comes to this offense.
00:01:37Singy, they're one of the better clubs in the league in terms of putting runs up via the homer.
00:01:42Yeah, and that makes them even more dangerous because they're going to get their hits, but
00:01:45they're also going to get those home runs and have runners on base, which is multiple runs out of one
00:01:51swing.
00:01:52So yeah, you really have to try to manage a team like this and keep them contained.
00:01:55You can't give up extra outs, whether that be be an error or a walk is a 1-1.
00:02:06Now a high fly ball out to left center Mullins should have this one out number two and every
00:02:14game seems bigger.
00:02:15Once you get past the all-star breakthrough, some teams get paralyzed by that pressure, but
00:02:20the best teams rise to the moment.
00:02:22Here's Pete Alonso.
00:02:27That's a ball.
00:02:36That's ball two.
00:02:43And that's a little bit high, and it's 3-0.
00:02:46He's just missing with some pitches that, I mean, those are, they're not strikes and that's what you think of.
00:02:51Good pitch is a strike, but so many times pitchers are trying to tease the zone and the last two
00:02:56pitches
00:02:56that he's thrown.
00:02:57Good pitches, but even better takes.
00:03:03Misses again, five in a row.
00:03:07Alonso, the runner at first with two gone.
00:03:10Drilled out towards left center field.
00:03:12That's well struck.
00:03:13That one carrying.
00:03:15And it one hops the wall.
00:03:17Coming home.
00:03:19Now a relay to the plate.
00:03:21He's safe.
00:03:22On the board.
00:03:23First it's one zip.
00:03:25Love how he let that ball travel.
00:03:27Trusted his hands.
00:03:28That's nice job of going the other way.
00:03:34So, runner at second, two down.
00:03:36Colton Pouser getting ready to hit.
00:03:39Top of the zone for a called strike.
00:03:46Ripped on a line to center.
00:03:47There.
00:03:48And that's the third out.
00:03:52The O's at one and an RBI double.
00:03:55It's now one nothing.
00:03:57It's an AL East matchup here on MLB The Show.
00:04:05Back down at the chop for the bottom of the first.
00:04:07Now the starting pitcher in this one.
00:04:09Kyle Bradish.
00:04:11Chris, what should we keep an eye on here with him?
00:04:13Well, last time out, picked up the win.
00:04:15Didn't allow a run.
00:04:16Pitched extremely well.
00:04:18It doesn't have to be perfect,
00:04:19but if he can give another performance like last time out,
00:04:22his team will be happy.
00:04:23Leading off, Chandler Simpson.
00:04:29Just missed.
00:04:29Ball one.
00:04:41Out towards right center field.
00:04:44Tavares gets under it.
00:04:45And there's one away.
00:04:49Take a look at the lineup.
00:04:51Needless to say, this is an aggressive lineup.
00:04:54They've drawn fewer walks than any other team in the league.
00:04:57Well, Boog, as I pop my collar, this lineup is taking the Chris Singleton approach.
00:05:03But in today's game, we know walks are key to scoring runs.
00:05:07At times, this lineup swings a little too freely.
00:05:10They need to make pitchers work harder.
00:05:13They need to make pitchers work harder.
00:05:17The 0-1.
00:05:29Right side.
00:05:31Basalo.
00:05:31Basalo.
00:05:32Takes it himself.
00:05:33And here this afternoon, two quickly away in the bottom of first.
00:05:37Deceptive slider right there.
00:05:38Stayed in the tunnel a long time.
00:05:40Got that hitter out front.
00:05:41Rolled over it.
00:05:41Put it on the ground.
00:05:42Two outs.
00:05:43Base is empty.
00:05:45And stepping in for the Rays, Junior Caminero.
00:05:48Two for eight in the series so far.
00:05:52Yeah!
00:05:53He boasts a batting average that ranks top ten in the league at the moment, Singy.
00:06:04In the air, right field.
00:06:06Couser.
00:06:07Settles under it.
00:06:08That is the inning.
00:06:11Nothing to do for Tampa.
00:06:13They're down.
00:06:141-0.
00:06:19Back here at Tropicana Field.
00:06:21Now the Orioles catcher, Adley Rutschman.
00:06:36Swing and a high fly ball to left.
00:06:39One up, one down.
00:06:46Batting seventh.
00:06:47Second baseman, Jeremiah Jackson.
00:06:54That's a ball.
00:06:55That's a ball.
00:06:56Jackson starting up the middle at second.
00:06:5825 years old.
00:07:00And he was a second round pick.
00:07:02Back in 2018.
00:07:04Walls.
00:07:05Zips it across.
00:07:07Two up, two down at the top of the second.
00:07:10Batting eighth.
00:07:11Center fielder, Leody Tavares.
00:07:14Two down.
00:07:15Bases empty.
00:07:16Here's Leody Tavares.
00:07:22He'll challenge.
00:07:24Thought that was a ball.
00:07:27And that one was indeed a strike.
00:07:30Still one challenge left for them.
00:07:38Bounced up the middle.
00:07:40Walls.
00:07:41On the run.
00:07:42Sent it over to first.
00:07:43In time.
00:07:44Got it.
00:07:45After an inning and a half.
00:07:46It's 1-0.
00:07:53Back now in Tampa Bay.
00:07:55To the plate now for the raise is the DH.
00:07:57Yandy Diaz.
00:07:58Yandy Diaz.
00:08:02Yandy Diaz.
00:08:03That one finds the zone.
00:08:05It's 0-1.
00:08:12Turned on but that's foul down the third baseline.
00:08:26Stays alive.
00:08:35Stays alive.
00:08:39And a swing and a miss.
00:08:40Down on strikes.
00:08:41And one out now.
00:08:43And he'll be beating himself up on the way back to the dugout.
00:08:46Got a pitch to hit and just couldn't get to it.
00:08:48I think that slider really caught way more of the plate than it was supposed to.
00:09:00That one almost got him.
00:09:12Puts it in the air out towards left center.
00:09:16That's out number two.
00:09:18Every day during batting practice.
00:09:20These outfielders get about 10 minutes of balls in the gaps.
00:09:24They practice this.
00:09:25And when the game comes.
00:09:26They make the play perfectly.
00:09:28Here's the veteran outfielder.
00:09:30Cedric Mullins.
00:09:33And that's through there for a strike.
00:09:350-1.
00:09:43Two down.
00:09:44Nobody on.
00:09:46Outside.
00:09:47And it's 1-1.
00:09:56On the ground.
00:09:59Out with room to spare.
00:10:00And that's the inning.
00:10:02We played two innings.
00:10:04It's 1-0.
00:10:09Back here at the ballpark.
00:10:11Let's check out the latest news from around the league.
00:10:13Blaise Alexander.
00:10:22And that is out of play.
00:10:310-1.
00:10:34Swing and a miss.
00:10:36He was late.
00:10:36Strike two.
00:10:42Ripped on the ground.
00:10:43A second.
00:10:45Tosses to first.
00:10:47Lead off hitter gone in the third.
00:10:48Up next for the Orioles.
00:10:50Left fielder.
00:10:51Taylor Warren.
00:10:59Hey.
00:11:06That's in there.
00:11:080-2 down.
00:11:15Keeps the effect going with a foul ball.
00:11:22See if he can go upstairs a little bit.
00:11:24Make sure you miss up and out of the zone since you're heading to count 1-2.
00:11:28Don't miss in the zone because that's where you get hurt.
00:11:31Close one.
00:11:32Doesn't get the call.
00:11:34Ball two.
00:11:41On the ground to the left.
00:11:42And it stays fair.
00:11:45Takes the turn.
00:11:46He's digging for second.
00:11:48The relay throw.
00:11:50Not gonna get him.
00:11:51He's in there.
00:11:52He needed out one.
00:11:53It's been a tough stretch at the plate lately.
00:11:55Caught it out front and ripped it down the line.
00:11:57And as soon as he saw it get through the infield.
00:12:00But man he started making that big turn towards second for the double.
00:12:03Next to hit Gunnar Henderson.
00:12:05And that's him for a strike.
00:12:070-1.
00:12:09One out the runner at second.
00:12:11We're here in the top half of inning number three.
00:12:14Foul off left side.
00:12:23Up the middle.
00:12:25Uh oh.
00:12:25Throw goes to second.
00:12:27Not in time.
00:12:28He lets it out.
00:12:30Up next for the Orioles.
00:12:32The designated hitter.
00:12:34Pete.
00:12:34Alonso.
00:12:41Right through there for a strike.
00:12:42Really good job in this spot to get ahead in the count.
00:12:45He's gonna have to continue finishing this hitter.
00:12:47And a fastball in there for a strike at 91.
00:12:53That one is absolutely belted.
00:12:56That's got a chance.
00:12:59Brings it in.
00:13:00Runner tagging and heading for home.
00:13:03He scores on the sack fly.
00:13:05And they lead by two.
00:13:06Two.
00:13:07Well he's always capable of losing one over the fence.
00:13:09He might have just missed it right there.
00:13:11But a good job to drive in that run from third.
00:13:14And now here is Samuel Vassalo.
00:13:20Hey.
00:13:23Henderson off of first with two away.
00:13:25Rudder takes off.
00:13:26Pitch in for a strike.
00:13:28Safe at second.
00:13:29And that was not close.
00:13:31When your catcher's not a great thrower, you have to do a better job at controlling the running game.
00:13:36And that's throwing over, that's stepping off, doing whatever you can to try to keep that base stealer's rhythm off.
00:13:41Well, they weren't able to do it right there.
00:13:43They're going to have to make some type of adjustment.
00:13:45Our players are going to be running all game.
00:13:48Man on second.
00:13:49Two down.
00:13:50Twings and misses.
00:13:52It's a strikeout.
00:13:53Inning over and it could have been worse.
00:13:56So a run on one hit.
00:13:57No errors and a man left.
00:13:59We head down to the home half of inning number three.
00:14:02It's the Orioles two, the Rays nothing.
00:14:04It's an AL East matchup here on MLB The Show.
00:14:12Bottom of the inning and stepping in for the Rays, Hesung Kim.
00:14:16Second baseman, Hesung Kim.
00:14:32That's in there.
00:14:34Strike one.
00:14:42The 1-1 is fouled off.
00:14:54Thrift in the air, left field and a touchdown for a base hit.
00:14:57And that'll bring the tying run to the plate.
00:15:03Still able to come through behind in the count right there.
00:15:06But now a chance to maybe get creative on offense with good speed on first.
00:15:18Not close with that one.
00:15:20Ball one.
00:15:30Swing and a ground ball.
00:15:41Well struck.
00:15:54Way back there.
00:15:56It's got a chance.
00:15:57Go ahead.
00:15:59Go.
00:15:59Go.
00:16:01The two run shot and we're level.
00:16:05It's 2-2.
00:16:17Boog.
00:16:18I wasn't sure he hit that one as hard as he needed to to get it out of here.
00:16:21But it had just enough behind it for the homer.
00:16:24What an attempt at the wall, though.
00:16:25He really gave a terrific effort to try and bring that one back.
00:16:30Now, here is Taylor Walls.
00:16:34Nope.
00:16:35Can be tough to bounce back after a big home run, but nobody on, nobody out.
00:16:39You just have to treat it as a fresh inning.
00:16:46Bounce to the right.
00:16:48Basalo takes it to the bag, and that's the first out.
00:16:51Nice recovery after giving up the homer.
00:16:54Left fielder, Chandler Simpson.
00:17:04Ball one.
00:17:07Tied up here in the early going.
00:17:17Outside low.
00:17:18That's ball two.
00:17:20Back to back, breaking pitches away.
00:17:21You get the feeling as a hitter that the pitcher's afraid of you, that he doesn't want to challenge you.
00:17:26So, I think the confidence level is raised right here.
00:17:36Shots missed.
00:17:58Shots missed.
00:17:59He's making a strong throw for the out.
00:18:01Great play.
00:18:04So, next to the play for Tampa Bay, Jonathan Aranda.
00:18:080 for 1.
00:18:08He grounded out to first his last time.
00:18:11That one finds the zone, and it's 0 and 1.
00:18:22Two down, nobody on.
00:18:25Here's a rip to short, but he's there for the third out.
00:18:29The Rays with a two-run homer.
00:18:31And we're deadlocked now at two apiece.
00:18:42Back here at Tropicana Field.
00:18:44Start of the fourth.
00:18:46Well, they just scored some runs in that last frame, and now they have to make sure they don't cough
00:18:50them up on defense right away.
00:18:52No better time than right now to have a 1-2-3 inning.
00:18:55Man aboard on the leadoff single.
00:18:58Up next for the Orioles.
00:18:59Once you get the ball by the pitcher, there's a lot of base hits up the middle, even on ground
00:19:03balls.
00:19:03So, a nice job to use that big hole and get himself a hit.
00:19:07Here's Adley Rutschman.
00:19:10And that one fouled off.
00:19:20So, now it's all about protect mode.
00:19:21So, try to shorten up, try to track the ball, block it if you have to, as far as just
00:19:26a late swing that maybe you're not sure about.
00:19:28But some way, somehow, climb back into this at-bat through the count.
00:19:33Knocks that one away, and we'll do it again.
00:19:41Go ahead, run it first.
00:19:43Nobody out.
00:19:44Top half of inning number four.
00:19:46That's off the mark.
00:19:47And the count now even up.
00:19:51Foul off the plate.
00:19:53They'll do it again.
00:19:54Five foul balls in this at-bat so far, and these two are going head-to-head.
00:19:58You can see the crowd.
00:20:00They're starting to get into it a little bit more and more each pitch, even though there hasn't been a
00:20:04ball in play yet.
00:20:12That's foul off to the right side.
00:20:14Keeps the A.B. going.
00:20:15Now, on this count, runner, not known for his speed, but I think you've got to put him in motion.
00:20:20Try to avoid a double play here, Boat.
00:20:22Swing and a high-fly ball right field.
00:20:25That one back, that one on its way, and it's gone!
00:20:30His 13th home run of the season, and the Orioles jump out in front.
00:20:35It's 4-2.
00:20:37The one thing the pitcher didn't want to happen just happened.
00:20:41That's not an easy one to stomach.
00:20:45Knew what pitch he wanted to hit, spit on some other pitches in this at-bat, was very patient, and
00:20:50it paid off.
00:20:58That one to first.
00:21:02Aranda takes it himself, one away.
00:21:04That ground ball may have him back on track after the homer.
00:21:08Now it's the switch-hitting outfielder, Laoti Tavares.
00:21:14On the ground, right side, and that chance handled.
00:21:17To first, now two out.
00:21:21Up next for the Orioles, third baseman, Blaze Alexander.
00:21:25Up for one so far.
00:21:26He's got pop, which is a little sneaky because he's so comfortable with taking his base hits to the opposite
00:21:34field.
00:21:34But he can jump you if you make a mistake.
00:21:39Two down, nobody on.
00:21:43This one in the air center field.
00:21:45Mullins settles underneath it.
00:21:48And that'll do it.
00:21:52Baltimore with a two-run shot this inning.
00:21:54It's now 4-2.
00:22:02Bottom four as the Rays come up to hit.
00:22:05And we are for the Rays.
00:22:05Third baseman, Junior Tamonero.
00:22:13Right through there for a strike.
00:22:15Well, the offense has gotten going, and a pitcher wants to go out there and have a real quick inning,
00:22:18get those guys back into the dugout so those bats can stay hot.
00:22:23Now the O-1.
00:22:25Chopper right side.
00:22:27And that one handled.
00:22:29Gets it to first.
00:22:30One out in the bottom of the fourth.
00:22:32Up next for the Rays, designated hitter, Dondi Diaz.
00:22:49And that's through there for a strike.
00:22:51Going to one.
00:22:52The Rays down by a pair.
00:22:54We're here at the bottom of the fourth.
00:23:00Liner to second and picked on the hop.
00:23:02On to first.
00:23:04Already two gone here in the home four.
00:23:07Richie Palacios.
00:23:08Next to hit for the Rays.
00:23:10Fly to left his first time.
00:23:16He's pitching well, but not throwing a ton of first pitch strikes.
00:23:20Usually doesn't work out for success, but he can never predict baseball.
00:23:26And that one is lifted in the air.
00:23:28Tavares under it.
00:23:30And the inning is over.
00:23:34Three up, three down that time.
00:23:36We played four.
00:23:37It's the Orioles four.
00:23:39The Rays.
00:23:40We go to the top of the fifth.
00:23:42Here's the Orioles leadoff hitter, Taylor Ward.
00:23:47And Chris, his home run numbers this season are good enough to rank him in the top ten in the
00:23:52league.
00:23:53Out of line, out towards center.
00:23:56Takes it in for the out.
00:23:58It was all over that fastball right there.
00:24:01I'll tell you what, if he gets under it just by a fraction of an inch or a little bit
00:24:04more, that's way back.
00:24:08And that one is lifted in the air.
00:24:11Palacios under it.
00:24:13Two away.
00:24:18And here's a look at how he's using his pitches in this one.
00:24:22Pete Alonzo.
00:24:25In steps the polar bear, Pete Alonzo.
00:24:47Two down, nobody on.
00:24:48And we're at the top of the fifth.
00:24:51We're battling here as he fouls it away.
00:25:07And he'll do it again.
00:25:22Good job to fight that one off.
00:25:28Two down, nobody on.
00:25:31Swing and a miss.
00:25:33He battled for a long time, but it finishes with a strikeout.
00:25:36You can't be mad at yourself after an impact like that one.
00:25:40Orioles held in check there, as they can't add to their 4-2 lead.
00:25:46Back now in Tampa Bay.
00:25:48It's that time of the season.
00:25:50Let's check out some notable trade candidates.
00:26:05Right down to shoot.
00:26:06It's 0-1.
00:26:08Mullins.
00:26:08It is eighth season, 31 years old.
00:26:12He joined the team as a free agent.
00:26:16Oh, he doesn't get the call.
00:26:18They had one and one.
00:26:20Catcher challenge will take another look.
00:26:23And it's a cold strike after the review.
00:26:26So they get to hang on to their second challenge.
00:26:38Comes up empty as he chases that one in the dirt.
00:26:42Got him.
00:26:43One away on the strike.
00:26:44Yeah.
00:26:44Well, take a look at the three-pitch sequence here.
00:26:47Pretty simple in terms of putting them away at the plate.
00:26:49Once you're ahead 0-2 as a pitcher, you can really expand the zone and see how aggressive
00:26:54that hitter is going to be trying to protect and battle.
00:26:57And right there, clearly he was in swing mode, but all you can do is hope to foul that off.
00:27:05Popped in the air, left field, two-way down.
00:27:13Up next, for the range.
00:27:15And here is Hunter Fiduccia.
00:27:17He's one for one with a two-run homer his first time off.
00:27:25That's how he does.
00:27:27That's how he does.
00:27:45He's the one with a three-pitch.
00:27:48That's how he does.
00:27:49That's how he does.
00:27:51down in order, go the Rays still down by a count of four to two.
00:27:59Back here in Tropicana field close game here and a chance now to look at a few highlights from this
00:28:05one.
00:28:22My little heart to get, baby. I want to give you the world. Not saying you've got to chase me,
00:28:29but I wouldn't mind it if you gave me just a little bit of something.
00:28:33Digging in, Samuel Basallo.
00:28:36First baseman, Samuel Basallo.
00:28:44Check swing. He went. And that is strike one.
00:28:51A little out front there as he swings through it.
00:28:59Really good take, especially with two strikes.
00:29:06Swings through that one. It's a strikeout.
00:29:08He's locked in at the plate when he's using the whole field. He was out in front there.
00:29:12Just needs to let the ball travel a little more and his timing will be back on track.
00:29:15Good pitch for the strike out.
00:29:17Colton Couser.
00:29:26That one fouled off.
00:29:32Deal two.
00:29:35Ground ball right side.
00:29:37And it goes just foul.
00:29:46Fights it off. He'll see another.
00:29:54And that's downstairs.
00:29:56On the ground right side.
00:29:59Doss is the first.
00:30:01Go!
00:30:01Two quick outs to open the top of the sixth.
00:30:03Out pass for the Orioles.
00:30:04Catcher, Adley Rutschman.
00:30:08And next for the Orioles, Adley Rutschman.
00:30:11He had a big swing back in the fourth.
00:30:13The two-run homer, and that helped them get the lead.
00:30:16And what a swing it was, Booth.
00:30:18Poetry in motion.
00:30:19And those are the type that you hardly feel when you connect with the baseball.
00:30:28Just so smooth.
00:30:30A great feeling off the bat.
00:30:33In the air to left center.
00:30:35Simpson moving under it.
00:30:38And that is that.
00:30:40Three up, three down for the Orioles.
00:30:42But they still lead this one 4-2.
00:30:54Bottom of the sixth inning.
00:30:56And step.
00:31:02In for the Rays.
00:31:03Taylor Rawls.
00:31:04Taylor Rawls.
00:31:11Well.
00:31:21Pretty nasty curve ball from 12-6 on the clock.
00:31:24It can jump out of the hand if the hitter speeds you up a little bit.
00:31:28Then just falls out of the zone.
00:31:31Comes up empty.
00:31:33That's strike two.
00:31:40Line drive.
00:31:41Face hit.
00:31:44And that will bring the tying run to the plate.
00:31:49Everything was on time and blew it in that swing.
00:31:52Got a pitch.
00:31:52You could get the barrel on and lined it in the center for the knock.
00:31:55Those always feel good.
00:31:57One.
00:31:58One.
00:31:58One.
00:31:59One.
00:32:00One.
00:32:00One.
00:32:00One.
00:32:01One.
00:32:02One.
00:32:02One.
00:32:03One.
00:32:07One Dihin.
00:32:07Now these guys definitely looking for a big swing of the bat right here.
00:32:10Try to close that gap.
00:32:12But.
00:32:12You know at the very least.
00:32:13If you could find a way to manufacture that run from first.
00:32:16It feels like it's really important to getting back into this ball game.
00:32:20He's got it.
00:32:20And there's one down.
00:32:30One out man at first.
00:32:32So next to the plate for Tampa Bay, Jonathan Aranda.
00:32:40Run around the move.
00:32:42That's in for a stripe.
00:32:44Safe in second.
00:32:46And he easily steals the bag.
00:32:48Well, with that kind of elite arm he has behind the plate,
00:32:51man, it's a pretty big deal when you can swipe a bag against this dude.
00:32:54Maybe more than anything, it prevents teams from just testing him,
00:32:57thinking that they can even steal the base.
00:32:59But right here, they successfully moved that runner up to scoring position.
00:33:03Good job.
00:33:06Man, it's second.
00:33:09Right side, hard hit.
00:33:11Basalo steps on the bag.
00:33:13That's out number two.
00:33:14Well, there's a lot riding on that at bat right there.
00:33:16Nice job of the pitcher to bear down, make the pitch, get the ground ball.
00:33:20Excellent piece of work.
00:33:28That's in for a strike.
00:33:30Movement in the Orioles' bullpen.
00:33:32Rico Garcia up and throwing.
00:33:34Kittredge warming up as well.
00:33:38Gets him to chase after that one.
00:33:40Well, he knows they don't want to give him anything to hit.
00:33:43But when you've got opportunities to drive in runs, you've got to expand the zone.
00:33:47He's capable of going out there and doing damage with it.
00:33:51Stays alive.
00:34:00And the O2.
00:34:02Soft contact in the air.
00:34:04Makes the grab and addle in the inning.
00:34:08One left for Tampa.
00:34:09They trail it here.
00:34:104-2.
00:34:15Now pitching for the ring.
00:34:16Welcome back.
00:34:17We're in the seventh.
00:34:18We have a new pitcher on the mound.
00:34:19Steven Matz.
00:34:20Pretty tight game, so they're looking for quality pitches out of him right here.
00:34:24Got to do his best to keep the score right where it is.
00:34:28Stepping in, Jeremiah Jackson.
00:34:33Misses just off the outside edge.
00:34:35I think that was a strike.
00:34:41Next offering is fouled back.
00:34:59Breaking ball.
00:35:00This is down and away.
00:35:07Swings through that one.
00:35:14And a swing and a miss.
00:35:16And now one away.
00:35:18Well, he hadn't seen that changeup the entire at bat until that put-away pitch.
00:35:22And it's pretty tough to deal with as a hitter.
00:35:24You're up there battling, trying to read and react with two strikes.
00:35:27And then all of a sudden, the pitch comes out of nowhere.
00:35:29And it's a good changeup.
00:35:31It's just almost impossible to hit it when you haven't seen it.
00:35:36A little bit low.
00:35:37That's the ball.
00:35:38Ball one.
00:35:44On the ground.
00:35:46And that's just foul.
00:35:53Got the bat going too soon.
00:35:55It's strike two.
00:36:01Pitch in the dirt.
00:36:03Two balls, two strikes.
00:36:09Foul it off.
00:36:10And they'll do it again.
00:36:17In the dirt.
00:36:19Full count now.
00:36:26And a foul ball.
00:36:28He stays alive.
00:36:34The kick, the 3-2.
00:36:37And that's an eight-pitch walk.
00:36:39He really made the pitcher work for that one.
00:36:41Well, that's a nice job of grinding out that at bat.
00:36:44Saw a lot of pitches.
00:36:45And ends up drawing the walk.
00:36:46Very gritty.
00:36:48Runner on at first with one gone.
00:36:50Still next to him for Baltimore.
00:36:52Blaze Alexander.
00:36:58In the first strike.
00:37:00And now it's even one and one.
00:37:03The 1-1 is fouled off.
00:37:09The 1-2.
00:37:13That's a base hit.
00:37:14Lead runner makes the turn at second.
00:37:17Now a relay to third.
00:37:19Not in time.
00:37:20He's safe.
00:37:22Up next for the Orioles.
00:37:24Left fielder, Taylor Ward.
00:37:31And that's it for a strike.
00:37:33And it's all and one.
00:37:35In the infield at the corners.
00:37:36Don't be surprised to see them come home.
00:37:39The flip.
00:37:40One and second.
00:37:41On to first double play.
00:37:45The runs.
00:37:46One hit.
00:37:46No errors.
00:37:47And a man left.
00:37:48Seventh inning stretch time.
00:37:50It's the Orioles four.
00:37:51The Rays two.
00:37:52It's an AL East matchup.
00:37:55Here on MLB The Show.
00:38:00We're back in a new pitcher here.
00:38:02To start the bottom of the seventh.
00:38:03Andrew Pittridge.
00:38:05And compared to a lot of other relievers.
00:38:07He's going to strike.
00:38:14It's not been a big weapon for him this year.
00:38:17So the defense should be active.
00:38:21Ah, that hit him.
00:38:23And the leadoff band is aboard to start the inning.
00:38:25Right fielder.
00:38:26Number one.
00:38:37Ball one.
00:38:38No strikes.
00:38:46Line drive to short and caught.
00:38:48That at bat is a positive sign.
00:38:50Even though it probably doesn't feel like it.
00:38:52He hit the ball hard.
00:38:53But it doesn't always work out in your favor.
00:38:56Sometimes a defender is there to make a play.
00:38:58So up next.
00:38:59Cedric Mullins.
00:39:04That one finds the zone.
00:39:064-1.
00:39:07Now this team is definitely looking for a big swing of the bat right here.
00:39:11Try to close that gap.
00:39:12But you know at the very least.
00:39:13If you can find a way to manufacture that run from first.
00:39:16It feels like it's really important.
00:39:18To getting back into this ball game.
00:39:23The tying run at the plate.
00:39:25Foul ball.
00:39:26It stays nothing in two.
00:39:37This one driven deep.
00:39:39Way back there.
00:39:40And it's gone.
00:39:41We are tied.
00:39:47Cedric Mullins sends it out.
00:39:50Big time players don't shy away from these spots.
00:39:52He knew he could change the game.
00:39:54And that's exactly what he just did.
00:40:18What an incredible momentum swing on that home run group.
00:40:21I mean it's late in the game.
00:40:23Just barely stayed fair.
00:40:24And ties up the ball game.
00:40:26Impressive.
00:40:34That pitch is in for a strike.
00:40:45Makes a sliding stop to first.
00:40:48And very nicely done for the out.
00:40:50Up next for the race.
00:40:53Thatcher.
00:40:54Hunter Faduccia.
00:41:05Hunter Faduccia.
00:41:18Hunter Faduccia.
00:41:23Bases empty.
00:41:24Two away.
00:41:25But two runs are in.
00:41:26Here at the bottom of the seven.
00:41:36Here's the 0-2.
00:41:38And he hits a ground ball right side.
00:41:41Jackson tosses the first.
00:41:43Out number three.
00:41:45But this clutch home run gets us even again.
00:41:48Eighth inning coming up.
00:41:50It's Major League Baseball on the show.
00:41:56Now pitching for the race.
00:41:58Welcome back.
00:41:58And a new arm on the mound to start the eight.
00:42:00Cam Boozer.
00:42:02He's been hit pretty hard at times this season.
00:42:04As you see with the big ERA.
00:42:06So this is an important outing for him to get on the right track.
00:42:09Got it started a little too early.
00:42:11Strike one.
00:42:14And fouled off.
00:42:21Missed with a changeup.
00:42:23Ball one.
00:42:29Oh, great stop.
00:42:30Over to first.
00:42:31And they get the out.
00:42:33Big play there to get the leadoff man.
00:42:36Up next for the Orioles.
00:42:37The designated hitter.
00:42:38Pete Alonzo.
00:42:40And now it's the polar bear.
00:42:42Pete Alonzo.
00:42:43This guy with light tower power.
00:42:49Swing and a miss as he was out front.
00:42:51Sold it really well with the arm speed.
00:42:54Swung underneath it.
00:42:55So changeup that stayed a little bit more on playing than what he was anticipating.
00:43:00And a polar bear strikes out.
00:43:02And that at bat seemed to be over as soon as it started.
00:43:05Three pitch strikeout.
00:43:06You've got to be better at the plate right there.
00:43:08At least to foul something off.
00:43:09Extend that at bat.
00:43:17Fastball in for a strike.
00:43:19Going along.
00:43:23Right through there for a strike.
00:43:30And that skips into there.
00:43:37Struck him out looking with the off-speed stuff.
00:43:41Nothing doing this time around for the O's.
00:43:44Score remains tied at four.
00:43:53Back now, new pitcher on the mound as we roll into the bottom of the eighth.
00:43:56Rico Garcia.
00:43:58Well, he's been a really tough guy to take deep this season.
00:44:01You usually have to string some hits together in order to get to him.
00:44:04And stepping in for the Rays, Taylor Walls.
00:44:08One for two.
00:44:12And that drops in for a strike.
00:44:15Action in the pen down there.
00:44:17Keegan Aiken.
00:44:18The left-handed reliever appears to be getting loose.
00:44:21Suarez getting cranked up as well.
00:44:25Swing and a miss.
00:44:26And that strike two.
00:44:36Nice grab.
00:44:38Takes it himself.
00:44:39And he got him.
00:44:40Nicely done at first for the out.
00:44:42Up next for the Rays, left fielder Chandler Simpson.
00:44:57There's the strike.
00:44:58And I know you want to be patient as a hitter,
00:45:00but you got to be ready to jump on the first thing straight.
00:45:04And he got one right there, but left the bat on his shoulder.
00:45:08And he grounds one to the right side.
00:45:11Basalo takes it to the bag.
00:45:13Two gone now.
00:45:15Up next for the Rays.
00:45:17So, next to the plate for Tampa Bay, Jonathan Aranda.
00:45:200 for 3 in this one.
00:45:26There's the strike at the knees.
00:45:27It's 0-1.
00:45:36Up the middle.
00:45:37Dives, but it kicks off his glove.
00:45:40Great effort, but no throw.
00:45:42That's an infield single.
00:45:45Up next for the Rays.
00:45:48Third baseman, Junior Caminero.
00:45:57Right through there for a strike.
00:46:09And that one is lifted in the air.
00:46:11Couser on the move.
00:46:13And that will end the inning.
00:46:17The Rays strand just the one.
00:46:19This game's all tied at four.
00:46:26All set to start the ninth in this one.
00:46:29Leading off, Colton Pouser.
00:46:31And that's in for a strike.
00:46:38Yeah, that's fouled off.
00:46:46Oh, that fastball way out of the zone.
00:46:48I think he's trying to speed him up.
00:46:50Got to stay back.
00:46:51Off speed's probably coming.
00:46:53And it's fouled off.
00:46:54They'll do it again.
00:46:58Tied at four.
00:47:00Foul ball left side.
00:47:01He'll see another.
00:47:06Ball.
00:47:133-2 now.
00:47:15That's a really good take.
00:47:17Adley Rutschman waiting on deck for the Orioles.
00:47:21What a stop.
00:47:22Throw to first.
00:47:23It's there.
00:47:24And that's a great play.
00:47:26It's such a great feeling when a team can rely on their shortstop to make a play like that.
00:47:30It builds up confidence for everyone on his team.
00:47:33It might even inspire a few more web gyms before the game is over.
00:47:40Chopped on the ground.
00:47:42Kim throws to first in time.
00:47:46Up next for the Orioles.
00:47:48Second baseman, Jeremiah Jackson.
00:47:51Jeremiah Jackson.
00:47:52The next to hit for the Orioles.
00:47:540-3 with two ground outs and a strikeout.
00:47:57Tap foul at the plate.
00:48:03Two down.
00:48:04Nobody on.
00:48:05That one finds the zone.
00:48:07And it's nothing at two.
00:48:12Hard grounder into the outfield for a knock.
00:48:16So a two-out knock keeps the inning alive and puts the go-ahead run on base.
00:48:23Smash that one through the infield for the knock.
00:48:26When it's hit that hard, it makes it very tough on the infielders to make any sort of play.
00:48:37That's in there.
00:48:38That's strike one.
00:48:40If you're a base runner, you've got to stay dialed in here.
00:48:42Look for anything in the dirt.
00:48:44Try your best to get in the scoring position.
00:48:51In the dirt, blocked.
00:48:53And the runner holds.
00:48:57The Orioles with the go-ahead run at first.
00:49:00Here at the top of the ninth.
00:49:01Bounce to third.
00:49:02Oh, that's foul.
00:49:03And a foul ball.
00:49:11Got him swinging for the K.
00:49:18He's in a tough spot.
00:49:19Had to make a great pitch.
00:49:20Did it.
00:49:21Got the strikeout.
00:49:22Gets out of the jam.
00:49:23Clearly, he's happy with those results.
00:49:35Back now as they hand the ball to a fresh arm to start the bottom of the ninth.
00:49:40Keegan Aiken.
00:49:41And one thing on him.
00:49:42He's been really good this...
00:49:51Keeping the ball in the park.
00:49:54Not an easy guy to take deep.
00:49:58That one close ruled a ball.
00:50:01Ball one.
00:50:02And an ABS challenge coming from behind the dish.
00:50:05It just shaved the zone.
00:50:08They'll keep their remaining challenge.
00:50:154-4 in the ninth.
00:50:18And that's through there for a strike.
00:50:19And the count is 0-2.
00:50:32Oh, look at the stop.
00:50:34Now a jump throw.
00:50:35Nicely done for the out.
00:50:37You expect to see shortstops make great plays.
00:50:39And it's especially important at a big moment like that.
00:50:42Nicely done.
00:50:55In there for a strike one.
00:50:58Felt no base hits in the series for him so far.
00:51:00It's clearly been a rough one.
00:51:02You just hope he's not pressing too hard because that just compounds things.
00:51:05It makes the slump even longer.
00:51:07Never seemed to help.
00:51:08Never helped me.
00:51:09The throw to first.
00:51:10Play is made.
00:51:11Two out.
00:51:14And stepping in for the raise, Cedric Mullins.
00:51:18Coming off an absolute bomb in his last at-bat.
00:51:26And the first pitch fastball is in for a strike.
00:51:30Well, we call that key holding.
00:51:32Even though it's right there and looks pretty good, if he doesn't love it, he's not going to swing that
00:51:36early in the count.
00:51:49Way out front for strike two.
00:51:52Man, that was pretty gross right there.
00:52:00And the second pitch fastball is in for a strike.
00:52:00Bows it off.
00:52:01Still one and two.
00:52:06Aiken trying to send this extra innings.
00:52:09Popped up.
00:52:15And the inning is over.
00:52:18Rays held in check here.
00:52:20Still all square at four apiece.
00:52:28We're back.
00:52:29Get a new arm on the mound as we start extras.
00:52:31Garrett Clevenger.
00:52:32And go ahead, run on base.
00:52:35Blaze Alexander digs in now.
00:52:38Now, there's the strike.
00:52:40As a pitcher, you know the runner on second is ready to push things with his speed.
00:52:45A base hit is probably going to be a big run, so you really have to execute on the mound.
00:52:50Definitely a swing and miss slider down and in.
00:52:53He finished that really well.
00:52:54Just couldn't get him to offer at it.
00:52:56Splits the plate.
00:52:57That is strike two.
00:53:02Out to short.
00:53:03Balls.
00:53:05Slings to first.
00:53:06And they get the leadoff man in the tent.
00:53:09Up next for the Orioles, left fielder, Taylor Warren.
00:53:19Close, but called a ball.
00:53:21Ball one.
00:53:22One out.
00:53:23The go-ahead run is in second.
00:53:25Here in extra innings.
00:53:27Low, but in for a strike.
00:53:28And that was the sweeper.
00:53:33And the count one and two.
00:53:40Battling here as he fouls it away.
00:53:51Keeps the at-bat going with a foul ball.
00:53:56One out.
00:53:57The go-ahead run is at second.
00:54:01Good job to fight that one off.
00:54:03Also really good at bat.
00:54:05What I like about this guy, his bat stays in the zone for a long time.
00:54:08Hacks and misses.
00:54:09It's a strikeout.
00:54:11Nice work there to get the strikeout.
00:54:13And that's a big second out.
00:54:15I'll tell you.
00:54:16This home crowd will be fired up.
00:54:17They can get out of this and leave that go-ahead run stranded in scoring position.
00:54:21This is a big moment in this game.
00:54:24Henderson in the box as he fouls off the first pitch.
00:54:28Two down.
00:54:29Go-ahead run in scoring position.
00:54:42Fouls it back with two strikes.
00:54:47The 0-2.
00:54:50Swing and a miss.
00:54:51Struck him out.
00:54:54It's the Orioles four, the Rays four.
00:55:02Back here in extras and a new pitcher on the mound in the bottom half of the inning.
00:55:06Yen-Yer Cano.
00:55:09Runner in scoring position.
00:55:10No outs.
00:55:12Hesung Kim getting ready to hit.
00:55:14One for three.
00:55:21And that's in for a strike.
00:55:22And it's 0-1.
00:55:33Up the middle.
00:55:35Base hit in the center field.
00:55:37Mullins headed home.
00:55:38Here comes the throw.
00:55:40Tag in.
00:55:41They cut down the winning run and we will play on.
00:55:45You really can't argue too much with them sending him home,
00:55:48trying to win this ball game in extra innings.
00:55:50Get back into the clubhouse, get something to eat, get some rest.
00:55:54But great defense right there.
00:55:55Keeps this game alive.
00:55:57That is a big-time play.
00:56:02Quick move to first.
00:56:03Kim back on a dive.
00:56:14This one lifted in the air, left field.
00:56:19And there are two down.
00:56:26Now with the play, Taylor Walls.
00:56:34You don't want to get beat by a fastball in.
00:56:37And he spits on that one.
00:56:49Two outs, but the winning run is at first.
00:56:53Quick toss at first.
00:56:54And he's back in there.
00:57:03Runner takes off.
00:57:05Pitch almost got him.
00:57:07Throw in a second.
00:57:09Out of bounds.
00:57:10Sacked.
00:57:10And the winning run is now in scoring position.
00:57:13Well, he picked over once just before the pitch to check on him,
00:57:16but that didn't seem to slow up his jump on the pitch at all.
00:57:19I think that guy's been studying some video.
00:57:21Awesome job to be prepared.
00:57:22Got the timing down, and he gets in the scoring position.
00:57:26Tap to first.
00:57:28Basalo.
00:57:29He steps on the bag, and we're headed to the 11th.
00:57:33It's the Orioles' four, the Rays' four.
00:57:40Back here in Tampa Bay.
00:57:42On to extra innings.
00:57:45Pete Alonso now at the plate.
00:57:53And that one almost got him.
00:57:55Not showing great command so far in this, in fact, two low count.
00:58:00He's got to execute here, or this could get ugly.
00:58:07That misses the zone.
00:58:09Three and one.
00:58:10Samuel Basalo.
00:58:11Next to bat for Baltimore.
00:58:13That one misses.
00:58:15Pitch it down.
00:58:15It's only off walk.
00:58:16Oh, you know this guy wants to swing it, but he's showing some good patience in this one.
00:58:21It's the second time he's taken ball four.
00:58:27That one finds the zone.
00:58:28That's strike one.
00:58:33Next offering misses down and away.
00:58:39That breaking ball drops in for a strike.
00:58:42Well, if he's going to do something special right here, it's going to have to happen with two strikes.
00:58:49Fights it off.
00:58:49He'll see another.
00:58:52Another.
00:58:58Pitch kicks away.
00:59:02Both runners move up two in scoring position now.
00:59:06And that takes away the double play.
00:59:08Well, Boog, it's already been a tough start to this inning as it is.
00:59:11And that wild pitch is going to make things even tougher.
00:59:14Two men in the scoring position now, still with nobody out.
00:59:17So, this really becomes a strikeout situation on the mound.
00:59:21That's a little bit low.
00:59:23Colton Couser waiting on deck for the Orioles.
00:59:28And he couldn't hold back.
00:59:29He's run up on strikes.
00:59:31And there's another strikeout.
00:59:32And those are just continuing to pile off.
00:59:34His confidence level has got to be dropped.
00:59:37He's got to find a way to make an adjustment move.
00:59:39Get back on track.
00:59:40His team needs him.
00:59:41Couser in the box now.
00:59:43Takes strike one.
00:59:44Definitely a strikeout situation right here.
00:59:47Double steal.
00:59:49One attempt misses.
00:59:50Now he has nowhere to go.
00:59:52He's tagged out.
00:59:53And that didn't play out the way they hoped.
01:00:00The Orioles with the go-ahead run at third.
01:00:03We are in the 11th.
01:00:06Swing and a miss.
01:00:08He struck him out.
01:00:09Huge strikeout there.
01:00:11It's the Orioles four, the Rays four.
01:00:19New pitcher on down.
01:00:21Albert Suarez.
01:00:23He's averaging more than one hit allowed per inning pitch.
01:00:26Runner in scoring position.
01:00:28No outs.
01:00:35Andler Simpson getting ready to hit.
01:00:37This guy can absolutely fly.
01:00:40I think one of the faster players in baseball.
01:00:42Ball that's high.
01:00:51High fly ball.
01:00:52Right field.
01:00:53Couser moving under this one.
01:00:55He's got it.
01:00:57Runner tags it second.
01:00:59Saved with third.
01:01:00And a winning run is on the doorstep.
01:01:08Up next for the Rays, first baseman, Jonathan Aranda.
01:01:16Just missed.
01:01:26Pitch out, but no action.
01:01:30Let's go, Rays!
01:01:32Let's go, Rays!
01:01:34Let's go, Rays!
01:01:36Let's go, Rays!
01:01:38Let's go, Rays!
01:01:40Let's go, Rays!
01:01:40Let's go, Rays!
01:01:40This one in the air right field.
01:01:43Base hit.
01:01:44That'll do it!
01:01:45In comes the winning run and the Rays!
01:01:48Walk it off in the 11th!
01:01:50So exciting to see a team walk it off.
01:01:52Not so much fun if you're on the other side, but what a great way to win.
01:01:56This team is celebrating, and this win is well-deserved.
01:02:04Close one here today, and your final 5-4.
01:02:08A one-run extra inning win for Chris Singleton and our entire outstanding crew here at MLB
01:02:15The Show.
01:02:16I'm John Schaub.
01:02:17Thanks for joining us.
01:02:45Let's go, Rays!
