00:00:20From inside Tropicana Field here in Tampa Bay,
00:00:23the show brings you a matchup of division rivals.
00:00:26It's the Toronto Blue Jays taking on the Tampa Bay Rays.
00:00:32First pitch coming at you right after the break.
00:00:39And today's starter, Drew Rasmussen.
00:00:42And Singe, it's unique these days, but he's more of a pitch to contact type of guy.
00:00:48Anytime you have five pitches to work with on the mound, that repertoire can be a real
00:00:52weapon in terms of keeping hitters off balance.
00:00:55It's one of those things that I'm going to be looking for in this one.
00:00:58Does he have a feel for all of those pitches or is he just able to get one or two
00:01:02over
00:01:03in the strike zone where he wants?
00:01:05Now it's tough to do to be able to command all those pitches, but if he can, he is going
00:01:09to be very tough for the opponent today.
00:01:16Here's Vladimir Guerrero Jr.
00:01:18Here comes the pitch.
00:01:19There goes the runner from first.
00:01:20Yeah, that's fouled off.
00:01:25Here comes the 0-1.
00:01:26Runner goes again.
00:01:27Pitch in for a strike.
00:01:30Throw to second.
00:01:31He's going to save.
00:01:32Well, he's batting leadoff and he's acting like a traditional leadoff hitter.
00:01:35Gets on base to start the game, then puts himself on second with a nice stolen bag.
00:01:39I think that sets the tone for the offense for sure.
00:01:42That's a ball.
00:01:43Really close pitch down around the knees there and you could see him asking where it missed.
00:01:48Probably doesn't.
00:01:49Shot into the gap and that should bring in the run.
00:01:53Rounds third.
00:01:53Headed for the plate.
00:01:54He scores and they have the lead.
00:01:56Pulls into second.
00:01:58That's an RBI double.
00:02:00Just so sound in his mechanics.
00:02:02Hits against a firm front side and the hands just continue to carry through the middle of
00:02:08the field.
00:02:15Nope.
00:02:16Barger went deep in his most recent game.
00:02:21This guy's got such a good sinker.
00:02:23As a hitter, you've got to look up in the zone.
00:02:25If you look down, you're going to be chasing stuff in the dirt.
00:02:28Man at second.
00:02:30Swing and a ball popped up.
00:02:32Fortez under it.
00:02:34And there's one down.
00:02:40Let's take a look at the lineup for the Blue Jays.
00:02:43It features a great veteran presence, George Springer.
00:02:46This guy had an on-base percentage of over 400 last month.
00:02:50That's just telling you.
00:02:51He's taking his walks, he's getting his knocks, he's finding some holes.
00:02:54Everything just going really well for him right now.
00:02:57But don't overlook the fact that that happens because he's having consistently good events.
00:03:02And a big swing and a miss.
00:03:10One out and a runner at second.
00:03:11You're in game one of this three-game set.
00:03:14Swings through that one.
00:03:15It's a strikeout.
00:03:16It becomes pretty difficult as a teammate when a guy's struggling like this.
00:03:20You don't know if you want to go up and tell him to keep swinging it or if you want
00:03:23to give him his space.
00:03:24He's what exactly he needs.
00:03:26But right now, it's clearly a struggle for him.
00:03:28And you're just hoping that somehow, some way, it'll click.
00:03:31And he can get out of this as quickly as possible.
00:03:33George Springer in the box now.
00:03:35Takes strike one.
00:03:36This one in the air right field.
00:03:40Bounces over the wall and found ground.
00:03:42It's an automatic double.
00:03:44As they jump ahead, a run scores.
00:03:46It puts a great swing on that pitch and drives home the run.
00:03:49And that was always going to be a double.
00:03:51But the bounce over the wall just took the guesswork out of it right away.
00:03:55It was a nice swing.
00:03:56Fastball for a strike.
00:04:02And there's a foul ball.
00:04:06Made on second, two down.
00:04:09Now a pop-up on the infield.
00:04:11Walls.
00:04:14And that'll do it.
00:04:18They get two runs on three hits.
00:04:20No errors and one left.
00:04:22On to the bottom of the first.
00:04:24Blue Jays two.
00:04:25The Rays number.
00:04:28Back now in Tampa Bay.
00:04:30And today's starting pitcher, Shane Bieber.
00:04:33And Chris, pitching on the road has not been particularly kind to him.
00:04:38Yeah, and you don't want to be too quick to say that he can't pitch on the road.
00:04:41Sometimes, you know, it's just a matter of luck.
00:04:44It's not having a field difference between the bullpen mound to the mound out there on the playing field.
00:04:50Don't know what it is, but I know it is.
00:04:52He's got good enough stuff to overcome and get it done on the road as well as at home.
00:04:57So we'll see what he's able to do in this one.
00:05:02Ball.
00:05:03That's inside.
00:05:12Base hit center field.
00:05:14Man aboard on the leadoff single.
00:05:19Batting second.
00:05:21First baseman.
00:05:22Jonathan Aranda.
00:05:23And now the first baseman.
00:05:24Jonathan Aranda.
00:05:25Two RBIs last night.
00:05:27Two of the three runs they scored the game.
00:05:30Hey!
00:05:39Ground ball right side and squirts through.
00:05:45Lead runner holds up.
00:05:47They're at first and second with nobody out.
00:05:50Batting third.
00:05:51Third baseman.
00:05:52He kind of rolled over on this pitch a little bit, but he got enough behind it to shoot it
00:05:57through for a knock.
00:05:58And you'll take that anytime you can get him to find a hole.
00:06:09No.
00:06:10Inside.
00:06:10He's got some good opposite field power.
00:06:13What I like about something being hit to the right side into the outfield is that the base runner at
00:06:18second has a very good lead and can determine whether or not he can score on that base hit.
00:06:23Penango should have this one.
00:06:26He's got it.
00:06:27Runner tags at second and he's in safely at third with one out.
00:06:34Now a look at Kevin Cash's lineup for the Tampa Bay Rays.
00:06:38A very athletic offensive group with speed spread throughout this offense.
00:06:43Yeah, and it's so important that they have patient and quality at bats because the key is to get on
00:06:48base.
00:06:48If they do that, then they can create a whole lot of havoc on the base pass, get runners around
00:06:53the score, and then that's going to get you some good pitches to hit as well.
00:06:57So a very athletic team, but we should be in for a treat in this one.
00:07:00It's not the standard approach that we see in today's game, but it does work for them offensively.
00:07:06Well, all eyes on the double play ball in this spot.
00:07:09No better way to get out of this inning.
00:07:14This to third, Okamoto.
00:07:16There's one.
00:07:17What a double play that was.
00:07:20Inning over.
00:07:21We head to the second here at Tropicana Field.
00:07:24Blue Jays two.
00:07:26The Rays nothing.
00:07:27You're watching Blue Jays baseball on the show Canada.
00:07:36New inning getting started.
00:07:38And now for the Jays.
00:07:39Alejandro Kirk.
00:07:44Ground ball left side.
00:07:46Fair ball.
00:07:49And the lead off man aboard.
00:07:55Batting eight.
00:07:56Right fielder.
00:07:57He seems.
00:08:02Right through there for a strike.
00:08:10Swings through that one for strike two.
00:08:12Eric Summersgill, our plate umpire.
00:08:15One thing to watch out for Boog is what side of the plate Summersgill might be favoring.
00:08:20He usually sets up at an angle.
00:08:22Pitchers sometimes will try to figure that out early so they can attack that spot and get as many strike
00:08:27calls as possible.
00:08:29Got him swinging.
00:08:30Well, that was the cutter down and in right there.
00:08:33And typically, if you're going to have a chance with the pitch, if it's down, that's your best chance of
00:08:38doing anything with it.
00:08:39It's kind of like a mini slider just with a little less vertical movement.
00:08:42But still, that one tied him up and he couldn't get the barrel to it.
00:08:47Hit the air.
00:08:48Left field.
00:08:49Simpson settles under this one.
00:08:52That's out number two.
00:08:58Up next for the Blue Jays.
00:09:01Back to the leadoff spot in the Blue Jays lineup.
00:09:03Now it's the second baseman, Davis Schneider.
00:09:06He let off the game with a single and then came around to score.
00:09:11Aye!
00:09:18Popped up first base side.
00:09:20Lux gets under it.
00:09:22And that is that.
00:09:25Blue Jays held in check.
00:09:28But they're on top two nothing.
00:09:34Back here in Tampa Bay.
00:09:36And stepping in for the Rays, Jake Fraley.
00:09:39Jake Fraley.
00:09:46Aye!
00:09:55Comes up empty.
00:09:56That's strike two.
00:10:04That one lifted to left.
00:10:05Springer moving in on this one.
00:10:08Pulls it down and he makes the catch.
00:10:16Batting six.
00:10:17Center fielder.
00:10:19Cedric Mullins!
00:10:28It's a good change up to hit.
00:10:29Up in the zone.
00:10:30I don't think he recognized it.
00:10:32I'm sure he'd love to have that one back.
00:10:39Swing and a miss and that's strike two.
00:10:49Ball that's low.
00:10:57Got him.
00:10:58That's out number two.
00:10:59Stood absolutely no chance on that slider right there.
00:11:02And I don't mean to laugh but that's a tough one.
00:11:05I mean pretty much a perfect strikeout pitch.
00:11:08I mean it looks like a fastball middle end.
00:11:09Kind of has cutter action and it just bunches you up to where you can't get your hands through and
00:11:15the barrel to it.
00:11:15And not much you can do unless you recognize the spin early and you spit on it.
00:11:23On the ground.
00:11:24Guerrero.
00:11:25He takes it himself to the bag and that'll do it.
00:11:29After two.
00:11:30It's a two nothing ball game.
00:11:40Top half of the third inning.
00:11:42And now for the Jays.
00:11:43Vladimir Guerrero Jr.
00:11:51Foul ball.
00:11:58Battling here as he fouls it away.
00:12:06Hit hard.
00:12:07Base hit.
00:12:08And a good start to the inning.
00:12:13Wasting no time.
00:12:15He's two for two now on the night.
00:12:17And just a triple and home run away from the cycle.
00:12:21Seriously.
00:12:22We're starting with this already.
00:12:28Deal one.
00:12:29And a swing and a miss there.
00:12:31Probably looks fresh out there.
00:12:33Just needs to get a little more confidence and remember how good he's been in the past.
00:12:38Missed.
00:12:38That missed by a lot.
00:12:40Ball one.
00:12:420-2 pitch that far out of the zone.
00:12:44Gives the hitter a little confidence that maybe he can climb back into this at bat.
00:12:49Fouled off.
00:12:50And they'll do it again.
00:12:57Got him.
00:12:59One away.
00:13:04And here's a look at how he's using his pitches in this one.
00:13:10One out man at first.
00:13:12Kazuma Okamoto.
00:13:14Next up for the Blue Jays.
00:13:22That's in there at the knees and it's strike two.
00:13:24Good approach right there.
00:13:26You want to get something just a little higher that you can elevate.
00:13:29Stay out on that double play.
00:13:38This one in the air center field.
00:13:40Mullins under it.
00:13:43And there's two down.
00:13:50Up next for the Blue Jays left fielder George Springer.
00:14:140-2.
00:14:22Guerrero the runner at first with two gone
00:14:26swings through it and that's a strikeout
00:14:30one left for Toronto they're up to nothing
00:14:42welcome back last series the pitching
00:14:44was not good as we take a check of the
00:14:47numbers
00:14:58all one
00:15:07line drive and it stays fair
00:15:12and that'll bring the tying run to the
00:15:14plate
00:15:19nice rip down down the line and kept it
00:15:21fair and even when you hit it that far
00:15:23out front you still have to keep your
00:15:25hands tight to your body so you don't
00:15:27hook around that baseball and put it in
00:15:29foul territory and that right there was
00:15:31perfect that's a strike
00:15:42that one almost got him
00:15:51now this one gets away from the catcher
00:15:54throws the second but he's in there easily and now a man in the scoring position
00:16:00definitely trying to work down and get that double play ball but it got away enough to erase any chance
00:16:05of that good job of moving up in the scoring position now a hit could make that wild pitch really
00:16:10sting
00:16:11man it's second
00:16:13just miss first pitch strike from the pitcher but then no panic at all by the hitter very patient showing
00:16:20good discipline now he's in the driver's seat with the three one count swing and a ground ball up the
00:16:25middle
00:16:26lays out but he can't squeeze it no throw and that leaves him with runners at first and third after
00:16:33a tricky play
00:16:37so runners at the corners nobody out
00:16:41Chandler Simpson the next to hit one for one he let off the bottom of the first with a single
00:16:48that one a little bit high and it's one to know
00:16:55that creates the corner one way to make a guy real uncomfortable to plate is pound
00:17:00him inside with good velocity they're doing that right here
00:17:06the minutes the flip one a second they get the run scores in the twig till
00:17:14first and third nobody out you're thinking you've got it lined up for a pretty big inning right here so
00:17:18that double play it's pretty deflating they get the run in but now they're starting all over
00:17:31that misses the zone ball one
00:17:48two down base is empty but one run across here in the last half of the third
00:17:55that one ripped left field that's down one hops off the wall
00:18:07up next for the Rays third baseman
00:18:10Junior Caminero digs in down fly to center his first time
00:18:18and that jumps in for a strike
00:18:29sharp grounder that's through for a base hit
00:18:35they stopped the lead runner at second now two on with two outs
00:18:47ball in
00:18:48ball in
00:18:58the 1-0
00:19:00up the middle
00:19:01and that's a base hit
00:19:03here comes the runner
00:19:04here's the throw
00:19:06go
00:19:07safe
00:19:07we are tied at two
00:19:10huge game tying it down right there
00:19:12came through a big spot to drive in the run
00:19:15everything was on time and fluid in that swing got a pitch you could get the barrel on and lined
00:19:20it in the center for the knock those always feel good
00:19:23so two outs with runners on the corners Jake Fraley next to hit for the Rays that one finds the
00:19:30zone 0-1
00:19:41popped in the air left field and that will end the inning three innings complete we are tied 2-2
00:19:56back here at Tropicana field it's that time of the season let's check out some notable trade candidates
00:20:08that's in there strike one well these Jays just lacking discipline at the plate in this game so many of
00:20:15their outs have come from weak contact on pitches they're chasing outside of the strike zone
00:20:19you can't do much of anything with those locations and that's been true again today
00:20:31keeps the at-bat going with a foul ball
00:20:49going to now
00:20:52high fly ball pretty well struck out towards right center that's got a chance bangs off the wall
00:21:02throw is high and over his head
00:21:06a perfect example right there that plate discipline it pays off the deeper he gets into account the more comfortable
00:21:14he becomes and he usually wins the battle
00:21:28strike one and obviously a lot of credit for all those chases and strikeouts goes to the pitching it's been
00:21:34nasty but you can to third
00:21:38tag and he's out at the plate
00:21:40I think he could have had a better read than that with the infield back and a ball on the
00:21:48ground you're expected to score if you're going to go to get thrown out at home plate
00:21:52that's probably a bad jump by the base runner but an excellent play on defense
00:21:57go ahead run on base
00:21:59jesus sanchez next up for the blue jays
00:22:19that one hammer but pulled foul so glad these ballparks have installed the netting to protect the fans keep things
00:22:28safe all around the league
00:22:33one away tie game go ahead run stands at first top half of inning number four
00:22:46in the air to left center
00:22:48Mullins moving under it
00:22:52he's got it
00:22:53and there are two down
00:22:58up next for the blue jays shortstop Andres Jimenez
00:23:11pretty good as far as being in the strike zone but I'm sure as a hitter not too good which
00:23:16where it was located very top of the strike zone middle away
00:23:20that gets by him
00:23:24headed for the plate
00:23:25the relay throw
00:23:28he's safe
00:23:29it's 3-2
00:23:30mission accomplished there as he picks up the RBI to give him the lead
00:23:34I love the approach he had right there with that pitch not trying to do too much but still looking
00:23:40to drive it and that's exactly what he's able to do into the opposite field gap for the double
00:23:45so runner at second to down Davis Schneider
00:23:49we'll hit next
00:23:57he's been ranking in recent games and a big reason why getting ahead and counts he's been able to do
00:24:03that consistently and you see the results
00:24:11and on second to down
00:24:13fouls one off
00:24:15two and two
00:24:23check swing on the 2-2 appeal to first did not go
00:24:32foul pitch
00:24:34swing and a foul ball at the plate they'll do it again
00:24:43bandit second spoils the two strike pitch and he'll see another
00:24:51good battle here about to be the eighth pitch of the at bat
00:24:56that's the third
00:24:59and that'll do it
00:25:03the Jays push across a run on this double
00:25:06it's now a 3-2 ball game
00:25:08it's an AL East matchup here on
00:25:12bottom of the inning and stepping in for the Rays
00:25:15Cedric Mullins
00:25:16center fielder Cedric Mullins
00:25:35right now behind in the count two balls and no strikes no free passes you can't allow that
00:25:43this one popped up
00:25:46Jimenez
00:25:46settles underneath it
00:25:49and there's one down
00:25:54and here's a look at how he's using his pitches in this one
00:25:57he's using his pitches and he's using his pitches with Gavin Lachs
00:26:28field flashes the leather on the run and catch two down every day during batting
00:26:34practice these outfielders get about 10 minutes of balls in the gaps they
00:26:39practice this and when the game comes they make the play perfectly
00:26:47Fortes batting for the second time and that strike one two down nobody on we're
00:26:53here in the bottom of the fourth out of line out towards center and that is the
00:27:03third out of the inning nothing doing here this half onto the top of the fifth
00:27:08we go it's the Blue Jays three the Rays two we go to the top of the fifth and
00:27:16now for the Jays Vladimir Guerrero jr. singing you can't ask for anything more
00:27:22this guy checks all the boxes offensively he's the ultimate professional and it
00:27:27doesn't just stop now this ball is well hit this one's got a chance he won't get
00:27:33there that should be extra bases in safely with a double his second of the
00:27:38day
00:27:41well here we are third time through the order and this is where we see the OPS
00:27:45jump off manager might have to go to the bullpen a little bit sooner than he
00:27:50anticipated
00:27:55that one finds the zone strike one well these Blue Jays digging into their
00:28:01numbers have to be happy with the swings they're taking they have five extra base
00:28:04hits on the stat sheet so far and that tells me they're seeing the ball out of
00:28:08the pitchers hand really well can't get there and that should bring in the run
00:28:13Vladdy coming around third and they lead by two safely into third it's an RBI
00:28:20triple comes through with the RBI to try to jam him inside with the cutter and he
00:28:25got it in there but I have a feeling he was sitting on that pitch that
00:28:29location because he was all over
00:28:36runner and scoring position no outs Kazuma Okamoto next up that one is
00:28:42absolutely belted and it's a one-offer off the wall should score the run and to
00:28:49score from third and they take a three-run lead oh a swing like that can help you
00:28:57come out of this struggle we saw the numbers coming into the ball game but
00:29:01all he's trying to do at this point is help his team win
00:29:11fastball almost got him there
00:29:19I fly ball out towards left field carrying well and he makes the catch
00:29:24run he tags it second and he makes it up to third with one away
00:29:32up next for the Blue Jays center fielder
00:29:35you'll hit it to nine go
00:29:38so up next for Toronto you'll Hendrick Penang go one for two
00:29:47and a foul ball
00:29:55here comes the 0-1 swing and a foul out of play
00:30:06ball don't move down well the good thing so far is that he hasn't issued any free
00:30:11passes unfortunately they're making pretty good contact so not getting the swings
00:30:15and misses and making that defense work behind it
00:30:19two down
00:30:24up next for the Blue Jays catcher Alejandro Kirk
00:30:39that's a base hit as a run scores
00:30:46well done drives in the run that pretty much split the zone down the middle and those are the ones
00:30:51where you've got to make them pay
00:30:55so up next for Toronto Pesu Sanchez
00:31:02already three runs across in the frame and we're at the top of the fifth
00:31:15right
00:31:16right here for a strike
00:31:17right here for a strike
00:31:22knocks that one away and we'll do it again
00:31:28the 1-2
00:31:31hauls it in to Indiana
00:31:33three runs on four hits no errors and one left off
00:31:37last half of the fifth coming up
00:31:39it's the Blue Jays 6 the Rays 2
00:31:42it's an AL East matchup
00:31:45welcome back to the ballpark as we check out the current playoff picture
00:32:00well these Rays doing a good job of putting the ball into play and that makes things more challenging on
00:32:06the defensive side
00:32:06one thing that really stands out to me is how they've only struck out one time
00:32:11that's good discipline right there and on top of it they're producing more than a hit per inning
00:32:17Penango takes it in for the out
00:32:19one down
00:32:20and you know we're living in the launch angle era but today feels like we're being treated to a throwback
00:32:25performance
00:32:26talking about those ground ball numbers in this one
00:32:34nobody on the team has more stolen bases than he does this season Chris
00:32:45swaying in a line drive that's a base hit into center field
00:32:49so a man aboard now with one away
00:32:52up next for the Rays first baseman
00:32:56digging in Jonathan Aranda he's two for two
00:33:14Simpson at first one gone
00:33:22ground ball in the middle that's a base hit
00:33:25lead runner touches second headed for third
00:33:27the throw in
00:33:29and it throws offline
00:33:30save for third
00:33:31up next for the Rays third baseman
00:33:35Junior Calanaro
00:33:40aye
00:33:51two on one out
00:33:54and one fouled off
00:34:05way inside
00:34:18on the ground could be two
00:34:20on a second they get one double play as they get out of another jam and the inning ends
00:34:27we're through five it's the Blue Jays six the Rays two this is Toronto Blue Jays baseball on the show
00:34:34Canada
00:34:42we're back and here's a look at how we got to this stage of the game
00:35:14so up next on dress Jimenez shortstop Andres Jimenez
00:35:30out towards right center field
00:35:34and there's one away
00:35:38up next for the Blue Jays second baseman
00:35:42Davis Schneider
00:35:48Eddie
00:35:56fouled off left side
00:36:04it on the ground is short
00:36:08safe at first as they can't make the play
00:36:13up next for the Blue Jays first baseman
00:36:16Vladimir Guerrero Jr. one down now the
00:36:20number two hitter Vladimir Guerrero Jr.
00:36:27gladi
00:36:27the former gold glove winner 27 years old
00:36:30and he's a former home run derby champ
00:36:45here goes the runner that one fouled off two and two
00:36:52man at first one away
00:36:59and a foul ball he stays alive
00:37:01well they gave up on that pitch early and it ended up staying in the zone I'm sure
00:37:06he's kicking himself and would like that pitch again
00:37:23two two now
00:37:24that was a miss
00:37:39swings through him for the K he didn't make it easy for him on the mound but they still get
00:37:44the strikeout
00:37:45from Addison Fargo
00:38:00swing and a ground ball into the
00:38:03outfield base hit and out to a board
00:38:07and he'll pull into second safely
00:38:11two hits for him in this one both for extra bases got to feel good about that
00:38:16timing on the swing was good able to shoot the ball up the middle didn't square it up as much
00:38:20as he probably would have liked but that's a good approach paying off
00:38:24Kazuma Okamoto next up for the Blue Jays
00:38:29right there for a strike
00:38:37and that one fouled off
00:38:43the Blue Jays
00:38:45trying to break this one open
00:38:47and we're the top half of the six
00:38:50stays alive
00:39:09out of bounce right side
00:39:11the underhand flip
00:39:13and that's a nice play to end the inning
00:39:15Blue Jays leave a pair
00:39:17they lead it six to two
00:39:25bottom of the six
00:39:26at the plate now for the Rays is the D.H.
00:39:29Yandy
00:39:35yes
00:39:35Yandy
00:39:36D.H.
00:39:54and that's it for a strike
00:39:56and it's not again two
00:39:57quickly in an 0-2 hole you're going to have to give something up here in terms of power if
00:40:02you want to put the ball in play with any authority
00:40:05bounce to third
00:40:09whips it across
00:40:10and that's one out as they get the lead off hitter in the sixth
00:40:15up next for the Rays
00:40:17right fielder
00:40:18Jake Raley
00:40:31foul ball
00:40:32foul ball there
00:40:34the Jays leading by four here in the bottom of the sixth
00:40:41in the air left field down the line and that lands in no man's land a foul ball
00:40:55breaking ball and that got him
00:40:57first base
00:40:59up next for the Rays
00:41:01one gone runner at first
00:41:02now up for Tampa Bay
00:41:04Cedric Mullins
00:41:10quick toss the first
00:41:11he said he's back in safely
00:41:20wow just a beautiful backdoor slider right there if you've got any chance of hitting that pitch you have to
00:41:26wait until the absolutely last millisecond
00:41:29just a tough pitch to hit and not an easy one to throw either
00:41:34no question about this one it's out of here
00:41:42a two run homer
00:41:44his 17th of the year
00:41:46and they close the gap
00:41:48it's 6-4
00:41:50Chris he's homered in back to back games now
00:41:53yep seeing the ball well and he's got his timing locked in
00:41:56he's looking pretty dangerous at the dish right now
00:42:00a breaking ball on the inside part of the plate requires a hitter to stay really square with his mechanics
00:42:05if you fly open with the fresh shoulder
00:42:07there's no way you keep that ball fair
00:42:09an outstanding job mechanically
00:42:11he deserves that home run
00:42:15here comes the manager out of the Blue Jays dugout
00:42:18and he will make a move to the pen
00:42:19that's it for Shane Beaver
00:42:21and he's not going to be happy with himself
00:42:23new pitcher on the mound in a moment
00:42:34here's a new pitcher from the pen
00:42:36Brayton Fisher
00:42:37he's averaging more than one hit allowed per inning pitch this season
00:42:41and that's not where you want to be at all
00:42:43so we'll see how he does here
00:42:58and that's in there at the knees for a strike
00:43:10fall off foul
00:43:26and look out
00:43:27as that one ran in and got him
00:43:30up next for the Rays
00:43:32Nick Fortes
00:43:33next to hit for the Rays
00:43:35Fortes
00:43:36hitting better against right handers this year
00:43:38so some reverse splits there
00:43:44and a breaking ball drops in for a strike
00:43:54in the air right field pretty well struck
00:43:57that one carrying
00:43:59out of here
00:44:02it's their second home run of the inning
00:44:05and they tie it up
00:44:06it's 6-6
00:44:08he absolutely feasts on right handed pitching
00:44:12and devours that one for a homer
00:44:15and you can see
00:44:16that's what he expects of himself
00:44:18at bat after at bat
00:44:19he's that confident
00:44:20well he almost robbed the home run right there
00:44:23and I tell you what
00:44:24he'd love another crack at it
00:44:25during batting practice
00:44:26you always like to work on that
00:44:28and so close
00:44:29but that one was just out of his reach
00:44:33little bit low
00:44:334-1
00:44:55ball
00:44:57line drive
00:44:57base hit
00:45:00and now the line up turns over with one away
00:45:06anytime you rip a line drive the other way
00:45:08you feel really good about what you did at the plate
00:45:12you trusted your hands
00:45:13you let the ball travel
00:45:14and you took the barrel straight to it
00:45:16that's great work right there
00:45:17manager out of the dugout
00:45:19and he's gonna make a change
00:45:20Braden Fisher done for the night
00:45:23and it's a tie ball game as he heads for the dugout
00:45:26back with a new arm
00:45:27after a quick break
00:45:31Tyler Rogers into the game
00:45:33well he struggled quite a bit
00:45:35so this is another opportunity
00:45:37to get on the right track
00:45:38he's given up more than one hit per inning pitch
00:45:41so far this season
00:45:46here's the Rays leadoff hitter
00:45:48Chandler Simpson
00:45:49really nice swing in his last at bat
00:45:52shot a line drive in the center field
00:45:55and a swing and a miss
00:46:00one away
00:46:01tie game
00:46:02go ahead run
00:46:03stands at first
00:46:07here's the pitch
00:46:08runner goes
00:46:09strike in there
00:46:10throws
00:46:11save
00:46:12that's a stolen base
00:46:13and the go ahead run is now in scored position
00:46:22the O2
00:46:25fights it off
00:46:26you'll see another
00:46:27so now it's all about protect mode
00:46:29try to shorten off
00:46:30try to track the ball
00:46:31block it if you have to
00:46:33as far as just a late swing
00:46:34that maybe you're not sure about
00:46:36but some way
00:46:37somehow
00:46:38climb back into this at bat
00:46:40through the count
00:46:41swing and a ball
00:46:42lifted in the air
00:46:45two down
00:46:51go ahead run and score in position
00:46:52up next
00:46:52for the Rays
00:46:53first baseman
00:46:55Jonathan
00:46:55Aranda
00:47:08and there's the ball
00:47:13two down
00:47:14go ahead run and score in position
00:47:21on the ground the first
00:47:23takes it himself
00:47:24inning over
00:47:25although plenty of damage done
00:47:27but two round trippers in this inning
00:47:30the long ball was working
00:47:32seventh inning coming up
00:47:33you're watching Blue Jays baseball on the show Canada
00:47:45welcome back we're in the seventh we have a new pitcher on the mound
00:47:49Cole Solser
00:47:50and compared to a lot of other relievers strikeouts have not been a big weapon for him this year so
00:47:55the defense should be active
00:47:57springer
00:47:58tied at six
00:47:59here's George Springer to start it off
00:48:01shoots a line drive single into right center
00:48:04so the go ahead run is on base with a knock
00:48:08couldn't have timed it up any better than that
00:48:11really stayed inside that baseball to send it to the opposite field with the shift onto the pole side
00:48:16that's an easy knock if you'll take it
00:48:22fastball for a strike
00:48:32to the right side
00:48:34there's one
00:48:35a sensational double play
00:48:39for me that's one of the toughest double plays to turn on the infield
00:48:42the first baseman has to get inside create a throwing lane to hit that middle infielder to start the double
00:48:47play
00:48:47and then from there completing it back to first
00:48:50really good job all the way around
00:48:52so digging in
00:48:54Alejandro Kirk
00:48:59oh he gloves it
00:49:03down in order go the Blue Jays
00:49:05so we're still tied at six
00:49:12back down in Tampa Bay
00:49:13and stepping in for the Rays
00:49:15Junior Caminero
00:49:16Junior Caminero
00:49:23Strike!
00:49:24on the inside corner
00:49:36oh that's up there
00:49:45right through there for a strike
00:49:46he must have been looking for something else because he gave up on that pitch a little early
00:49:49it was right down Main Street
00:49:51probably not going to see a better pitch to hit in this at-bat
00:49:56swing and a miss for the strikeout
00:49:58one away
00:49:59big time out leading off the home seven
00:50:02no that slider was way out of the zone
00:50:04and for me it just comes down to not seeing the pitch out of the hand
00:50:08not tracking it into the zone
00:50:10and then also being a little bit anxious
00:50:12not confident in your two-strike approach
00:50:14and so when a guy's in that position
00:50:16you get him to commit early
00:50:17and a lot of times you get the swing and miss as you did right there
00:50:24all tied up here at the bottom of the seventh
00:50:32ball two
00:50:43up the middle
00:50:45oh great stop
00:50:46to first
00:50:47it's there
00:50:48that's a great play
00:50:49up next
00:50:51for the Rays
00:50:53right fielder
00:50:54Jake
00:50:55Raley
00:50:55here comes the skipper
00:50:57and we're going to see a pitching change in this spot
00:51:00Tyler Rogers
00:51:01gives way
00:51:02we'll be back in a minute with a new arm on the mound
00:51:13now pitching for new pitcher now for the chase Brendan Little
00:51:17well he's been hit pretty hard at times this season as you see with the big ERA
00:51:22so this is an important outing for him to get on the right track
00:51:30and stepping in for the Rays Jake Fraley
00:51:45Fouled off he was late
00:52:07two down
00:52:08nobody on
00:52:11swings and misses on the fastball up in the zone for the strikeout
00:52:16nothing doing for Tampa this game remains tied at six
00:52:23back here in Tampa Bay and now for the Jays
00:52:27Jesus Sanchez
00:52:30right through there for a strike
00:52:38and he's down 0-2 as he swings through it
00:52:41that's a real nice counter right there
00:52:43and this guy can struggle with the inside pitch at times
00:52:47so I'd say that's pretty effective if you can continue to command it on that side of the plate
00:52:54the 0-2
00:52:56the 0-2
00:52:57and it's fouled off they'll do it again
00:53:05battling here as he fouls it away
00:53:14and the 0-2
00:53:17got him looking that's a strikeout
00:53:19and he'll challenge that called strike
00:53:21that big strikeout right there
00:53:23and maybe a little controversial with the call
00:53:26I think he got a little bit of favor on the mound
00:53:28no question about it
00:53:29it's not exactly what you want to see in a big spot like that
00:53:32and I'm sure there's some chirping going on from the dugout
00:53:34making it clear that wasn't his best call behind the plate today
00:53:41this one in the air right field
00:53:44that gets down for a hit
00:53:45and the go-ahead run is on base
00:53:49safe at second with nobody out
00:53:51and that double has the go-ahead run in scoring position
00:53:54well that certainly feels good when you can win the at-bat
00:53:57after being down in the count
00:53:59up against it with two strikes right there
00:54:01a lot riding on this next at-bat now
00:54:03as they look to take the lead at a critical point in this one
00:54:13nope that's a ball
00:54:21and that one hit to first
00:54:24and he's out on the tag
00:54:26not a bad outcome in that spot
00:54:28the runner moves up to third
00:54:29and now they have a chance to drive in the go-ahead run
00:54:31it's not a knock
00:54:33but at the end of the day it's a good at-bat
00:54:35so up next
00:54:36Davis Schneider
00:54:40that's a ball went with the sweeper
00:54:42definitely a strikeout situation right here
00:54:45lots of ways for that go-ahead run to score
00:54:47if the ball's put in play
00:54:50and fouled off
00:54:57the 1-1
00:55:00just missed
00:55:01here's the sack fly situation
00:55:03and he's got to make sure he gets the ball out over the plate
00:55:05and get those arms extended
00:55:06they're trying to crowd him with the infield in
00:55:08this would be a big pick-off if he can push a run across
00:55:17the ball
00:55:17now all even up
00:55:20this one in the air center field
00:55:25brings it in
00:55:26here comes the runner from third
00:55:29runner from third
00:55:30in the score
00:55:31they lead it in the eighth
00:55:33what a time to miss the cutoff boog
00:55:36if he puts that throw in the money
00:55:37they've got a chance to get that runner at home
00:55:39instead a critical run scores
00:55:42that could swing this game
00:55:46off the one there
00:55:47and that's ball one
00:55:52foul ball
00:55:56chew down
00:55:57nobody on

00:56:27and everything was on time
00:56:28took a direct path to the ball
00:56:30excellent extension
00:56:31just drove it out of here
00:56:33nothing better than when the ball
00:56:35jumps off your bat like that
00:56:38base is empty
00:56:39two away
00:56:39but two runs are in
00:56:41and we're in the top of the eighth
00:56:52fouls it back with two strikes
00:56:57field two
00:57:06drilled in the air out towards right center
00:57:08Fraley on his way over
00:57:10pulls it down and he makes the catch
00:57:13and that's the third out
00:57:15so they get two runs on two hits
00:57:17one of them left the yard
00:57:18last half of the eighth coming up
00:57:22bottom of the eighth

00:57:24Cedric Mullins
00:57:26center fielder
00:57:27Cedric Mullins
00:57:32and immediately pumps in a strike
00:57:34to the left handed hitter
00:57:35movement in the Blue Jays bullpen
00:57:37A.J. Minter
00:57:39the close
00:57:45getting cranked up for a possible save opportunity
00:57:49Hoffman getting cranked up as well
00:57:53and that is downstairs

00:58:02pulled hard but it's a foul ball

00:58:32chopper to second
00:58:34Schneider
00:58:36whips it to first
00:58:37one gone to the bottom of the eighth
00:58:39that play won't be trending on social media later on
00:58:42but it's still important to execute it to perfection
00:58:44this game is a lot harder than it looks partner
00:58:53yeah
00:59:04swings and misses at the pitch off the plate
00:59:07the Blue Jays up by two
00:59:09here the bottom half of the eighth inning
00:59:15and down on strikes
00:59:17and two away now
00:59:18that curveball had some pretty good break to it
00:59:21as you can see the hitter just locked up a little bit
00:59:23thought it was a great pitch to hit
00:59:25but sometimes you're looking for something else
00:59:27and you can't pull the trigger
00:59:32up the middle
00:59:34whips it to first on the run
00:59:36what a play in and over
00:59:39down in order
00:59:40go the Rays
00:59:41can't cut into an eight six deficit
00:59:51now pitching for the pitcher on here
00:59:53Craig Kimball pretty tight game
00:59:56so they're looking for quality pitches out of them right here
00:59:59got to do his best to keep the score right where it is
01:00:02and now for the Jays
01:00:04Kazuma Okamoto
01:00:06Kazuma Okamoto
01:00:11hey
01:00:18got the back going too soon
01:00:21it's strike two
01:00:22Kimball measures six feet even
01:00:2437 years young
01:00:26and he's a former rookie of the year
01:00:30the O2
01:00:32and it's a strikeout looking
01:00:35and a strikeout for the first out here in the night
01:00:38barely a hair out of the zone
01:00:40but it was a ball
01:00:41still two challenges left for them
01:00:48he's a one-two
01:00:51he's a one-two
01:00:52line drive base hit
01:00:55now he launches a throw over his head
01:00:58doesn't get too far away
01:01:00so no one moves up
01:01:05up next for the Blue Jays
01:01:07left fielder George Springer
01:01:12and that one ripped to left
01:01:15makes the grab
01:01:21up next for the Blue Jays
01:01:24center fielder
01:01:25and now
01:01:27Yo Hendrik Penungo
01:01:34hot shot
01:01:36and he can't knock it down
01:01:38all the throw is over his head
01:01:40doesn't get too far away
01:01:42so no one moves up
01:01:43up next
01:01:45for the Blue Jays
01:01:46catcher
01:01:47Alejandro
01:01:55off the plate ball one
01:02:07and a foul ball
01:02:08could use a ground ball here
01:02:10something in the infield
01:02:12runner at first base get to get out of this
01:02:16two on one out
01:02:20makes the grab and there's two out
01:02:22that swing right there tells me he's seen the ball pretty well
01:02:25I know it didn't produce a hit
01:02:26but he made solid contact
01:02:28and that's all you're looking to do
01:02:30anytime you're at the plate
01:02:32next to hit
01:02:33Pesu Sanchez
01:02:36that's in there
01:02:37that strike one
01:02:38this is a batter who was to produce late in ball games
01:02:42he doesn't shy away from the big moment
01:02:44in the air left field
01:02:46and that is that
01:02:48Blue Jays leave a pair
01:02:50they lead at 8-6
01:02:52in the air
01:02:54in the winter fast
01:02:55in the winter fast
01:02:57I'm gonna go break my neck
01:03:00for you
01:03:01welcome back
01:03:01and here comes the closer
01:03:03AJ Minter
01:03:04well he's the guy they hope to turn to
01:03:07out of the pen to lock down wins
01:03:08so this game has gone to plan
01:03:10more or less
01:03:11let's see if you can wrap it up here
01:03:29in the air right field Sanchez has a beat on it
01:03:33and there's one away
01:03:39up next for the Rays
01:03:42left fielder
01:03:43Chandler Simpson
01:03:54up the middle
01:03:56and that's a base hit
01:03:58and that'll bring the tying round to the plate
01:04:05right
01:04:06now here is Jonathan Aranda
01:04:08first baseman Jonathan Aranda
01:04:14rudder takes off
01:04:16pitching for a strike
01:04:18save in second
01:04:19and that was not close
01:04:21and that extends his lead for the most stolen bases in baseball
01:04:33ball
01:04:34ball one
01:04:43the tying run at the plate
01:04:46and that is out of play
01:04:57one-two now
01:04:59spoils the two-strike pitch
01:05:01and he'll see another
01:05:08here's a one-two
01:05:11and a ground ball to first
01:05:13slides for the stop
01:05:14and that's a great play for the out
01:05:16Thalpug is an infielder you have to be ready for anything
01:05:19in that spot it required going to the ground
01:05:22getting a little dirty and making a strong throw for the out
01:05:25great play
01:05:37that's in there strike one
01:05:40the Jays trying to close out a two-run lead
01:05:43and the whole team trying to pull it out
01:05:51and there's a base hit to the left
01:05:53the hype is real
01:05:54as he comes through once again
01:05:56tacked on another to that hit streak
01:05:59well it comes through clutch with the RBI single
01:06:02that was big
01:06:02just a solid swing right there
01:06:05caught it out front and ripped it into the outfield for the base hit
01:06:08those always feel great
01:06:10Yandy Diaz now
01:06:13that one's in there
01:06:14going along
01:06:15well in this situation the hitter knows that he's got to find a pitch that he can drive
01:06:19in order to drive in that tying run all the way from first base
01:06:22so
01:06:23if he can't do that keep the line moving
01:06:25the wall or just a base hit
01:06:27but you've got to stay within yourself
01:06:32the Rays down to their final strike
01:06:35chopped in the ground
01:06:37the minutes and that is the ball game
01:06:42we saw both teams come ready to swing it in this one and they found a lot of success
01:06:46couple of touchdowns up on the board today pretty amazing and it turned out to be a close one
01:06:51considering all the runs put up really wild
01:06:53and a final 8-7
01:06:56for Chris Singleton and our entire crew
