00:01Wednesday night in Cleveland it's game two of a three-game series the Giants
00:06and the playoff contending Cleveland Guardians. Parker Messick AL rookie he
00:14is number one among rookies in American League and wins innings pitch strikeouts
00:19starts and he has been one of the top pitchers overall in baseball as well.
00:24Jonah Cox is ready he's stepping in the box and he got him swinging stayed with
00:29a fastball that was 97 miles an hour two down here's Willie Adamas to once he
00:35bought himself a heater kind of start eliminating some pitches get an A swing
00:38off he pulls out into the left field base hit I think that qualifies that was a
00:43good swing Adamas though is gonna stay at first with a two out single and now
00:49Bryce Eldridge comes up lefty versus lefty Adamas at first runner goes three
00:54two pitch a topper on the right side Bazzana from the outfield grass throws
00:58him out and the side is retired setting sail on his big league career in the
01:03tugboat Matt Wilkinson for the first time as a major leaguer yeah well you look at a
01:08twenty three year old left hander six one two hundred fifty pounder tugboat is
01:12getting his chance to pitch against the former team that drafted him and he's
01:16gonna be put to the test immediately with Juan who's just seeing the ball
01:19extremely well Kwan out to left center that's a good first guy to retire to get
01:26your career started absolutely take a deep breath pops and bring up Nathaniel low
01:32two outs nobody on no score up the middle Adamas gets their spins and the long hop
01:40pulled out by Eldridge that is a great first inning of young Matt Wilkinson's career
01:47standing ovation from mom Victor Barry Cotto will lead it off
01:52Dan he pumped that one by him good high fastball second strikeout for Parker
01:58Messick one down hitting number two not a located fastball works out just fine two
02:03down will slave East Basabi swing and as he went up the ladder and pumped it by him
02:10on home Martinez not waiting around after watching tugboat have a really nice one two
02:16three first and he Martinez first pitch here in the second with a base it that is out number
02:20one that'll bring up on hill now Martinez might put him to the test who got nine stolen base
02:25and caught three pitches up high
02:28and cannot get a grip on the ball and Martinez has his tenth swing base of the season he lost
02:34it in the transfer
02:36on the ground Martinez has to hold Adamas throws out Hannah two down and here is Halpin the left handed
02:43batting
02:43first pitch swing and another pop up Petey Halpin cost is going to call off Kavanaugh yes he will
02:51makes a catch they share a moment and if that's it for the tugboat I think that's a good first
02:57impression
02:58fantastic one away and here comes Christian caught he just struck at Christian cost two down here in the third
03:07I'll tell you what I was about high level with that fastball and he wasn't hitting that here's Jonah Cox
03:13there's the changeup bingo three pitches he strikes out Jonah Cox and the side is retired five strikeouts
03:22Parker messick back to work and Rafael Devers leads off of the Giants it's Alan well the centerfield kind of
03:29knuckling it's going to get down and then
03:31Halpin doesn't play cleanly Devers is testing him the throw is going to be offline good hustle from Devers it's
03:39a double
03:39he's got to feel so good with that one his first hit in the series puts the Giants in scoring
03:44position
03:44wasted out because Devers is still out there at second base see if Bryce Eldridge can pick him up
03:49that one gets by thank you that is a gift now Devers is it third it's in the air is
03:59it deep enough
04:00one settles under hell it's hanging up as Devers he will not try and score and a perfect throw to
04:06the cutoff man from Kwan two down
04:08those situational at bats runners at third he hasn't quite been himself in those at bats
04:14and then he's got to go to the base
04:15Barricotto on the ground diving and the ball hits off the glove and rolls away that's a way to pick
04:20up your teammate Devers scores it's one nothing
04:23that's exactly right you get that first pitch change up out in front of it but puts enough top spin
04:28on it
04:30or even if Rokio gets to it it's gonna be tough to make a good strong throw makes Eldridge feel
04:35a lot better now
04:36lead base hit down the left field line that one's gonna roll into the corner Barricotto around second heading for
04:42third and he's gonna get the stop sign as Kwan got to it quickly
04:46it's good execution by the Guardians to keep this one nothing what a chance here though for Basabe and the
04:52Giants
04:53swung on and there's a high pop up left field not deep coming in Kwan makes the catch
05:01side retired but the Giants scored the game's first run and now Adrian Hauser with a one nothing lead Jose
05:07Ramirez leads things off
05:10Ramirez goes down swinging against Hauser really well executed change up there safe at first is Martinez with an infield
05:18single a two out base runner here in the fourth inning
05:21Oh it's smoked deep right field into the corner on Hill in the third he'll have to stop there the
05:29relay got in
05:30quickly but Bazzana booms one into the right field corner and now it's the Guardians chance to try to answer
05:38with two out
05:38hit it so hard that they played it off the wall beautifully and got it in quickly and the Guardians
05:43are in business with two out
05:45second and third and on El Hanau stepping to the plate lights out on the left and Barricotto diving catch
05:54nice play looked like a sure hit he raced in and laid out and he caught it what a play
06:01Parker Messick back at it
06:03facing Drew Cavanaugh pumped it by him and that's strikeout number six for Parker Messick the leadoff man Jonah Cox
06:11two down
06:12nobody on strike him out looking seven K's for Parker Messick halfway through Parker Messick pitching a beauty
06:21Rafael Devers leading off of the Giants in the sixth inning and he just made great work from Rafael Devers
06:27eighth strikeout for Messick I mean he just keeps coming at you back in the lineup for the first time
06:32in a week he's got a second hit
06:33one out single here's Bryce Eldridge the rookie and he got it by him another strikeout for Parker Messick that's
06:41number
06:42nine well they've been vulnerable up in the top part of the zone both right-handed and left-handed hitters
06:48now
06:48Barry Cotto knocked in the Giants run with a single on the fourth
06:52now he bangs one to the shortstop Brian Roqueo
06:56and he'll throw him out now Parker Messick has been outstanding once again got his second hit of the night
07:02it's a leadoff single here in the seventh so in the last 50 years
07:11and they have eight consecutive starts in one year in which they gave up two runs or fewer
07:21Messick at seven he'll settle for a strikeout his tenth of the night and there are two down in the
07:28seventh inning and that's gonna do it
07:30and this is his eighth straight start where he's giving up less than two earned runs they have a runner
07:35at first two down seventh inning
07:38Hunter Gaddis 49th appearance wouldn't have said that they took him out because
07:43runner goes swing and a miss he struck him out and that'll end the inning
07:47stretch time in Cleveland Giants one Guardians nothing now is it still out there still throwing well
07:53here is Angel Hanau and out of the banger oh a diving stop by Masabi can't find the handle once
08:00again
08:01second time tonight he's been able to get to a ball going to his left but it didn't stick in
08:07his glove
08:07and he is really frustrated and now with his first hit of the night
08:12Petey Halpin 0 for 2 got him through the changeup beautiful
08:18these two teams when it comes to offensive struggles are very similar
08:26Dallas could not come up with it and the Guardians catch a break now can they capitalize yeah that ball
08:33laid up went down through him he laid back on that ball instead of coming up and you know attacking
08:39it
08:40sort of let it play him so now there is your brain it's now Brian Rocchio to the plate Cleveland's
08:47last 13 games in which they've lost nine and those nine losses they're averaging three runs per yeah
08:54pop up on the infield who's going to take it Hauser gets called off by beside two left for
09:03Cleveland we go to the eight how do you like them apples they stick with Hauser and he walks the
09:09lead
09:10off man to start the eighth and that may have forced Tony Matillo's hand right there yeah it's a good
09:16test for young Dylan Smith he is going to enter into a one-run game bottom eight the Giants
09:23unlike every other team i feel like we've played this year they don't have a bunch of left-handers to
09:28match up against this Cleveland line they have one Sam Manches he warmed up and he is
09:33set down so they're going to go with their righties
09:35they're going to go with their righties or so it would appear Jose watches one bounce in there and
09:40down the second goes one with the tying run on a wild pitch that's a tying run at second
09:47well Ramirez goes down swinging on a high fastball that's huge this one's right underneath it
09:55that's a big first out this is a guy that can grind in that bat too here Nathaniel low
10:00strike three called beauty two down so with two down on hell Martinez to the plate he is two for
10:07three
10:08on the night did he go he did that's a swing Martinez is arguing as he runs and the throw
10:16completes the
10:16put out strikeout and Dylan Smith strikes out three in a row to strand the tying run so there's your
10:23tying run aboard
10:25his second hit last at bat to help and I think saw three pitches and he was down and he's
10:31swinging at
10:31everything now big swings outfit strikes out swinging he went with the fastball and he blew him away
10:38struck him out on three pitches two down in the night and for the Guardians it'll be Patrick Bailey
10:43Bailey Bailey came to Cleveland in exchange for Matt Wilkinson who started this game
10:50Bailey strike three called he knew it and the ball game's over Dylan Smith what a job to finish off
10:57a
10:57shutout for the Giants the tugboat started it and Dylan Smith finished it out congratulations to
11:04Wilkinson now you're in the book you're part of this this great brotherhood for a long time and
11:09awesome that's just a great feeling
11:10that's just a great feeling
