00:00:23From Baltimore, welcome inside Oriole Park.
00:00:27The show has an AL East matchup.
00:00:30It's the Tampa Bay Rays taking on the Baltimore Orioles.
00:00:36And we'll be back with the first pitch right after this.
00:00:44Today's starting pitcher, Kyle Bradish.
00:00:46What's the word on him?
00:00:48Well, that whip is just below the league average,
00:00:51and that's a good thing in this case,
00:00:53not allowing too many base runners.
00:00:55So for most days, he's going to go out there and compete
00:00:58and put his team in a position to win,
00:01:01and I expect to see that from him in this one today.
00:01:05And we're underway in game one of the series.
00:01:15The 0-1.
00:01:17Ripped to first.
00:01:19Caught!
00:01:22Now a look at Kevin Cash's lineup for the Tampa Bay Rays.
00:01:25And one to watch, of course, their three-hole hitter,
00:01:28Junior Caminero.
00:01:45Just underway from Baltimore.
00:01:48Just underway from Baltimore.
00:02:05got him looking two down i can't argue with that one and clearly he was looking for something else
00:02:11anything but the breaking ball it's a great pitch to hit right there if you're looking for it and
00:02:15kind of a gift in a two-strike count but sometimes you just get fooled and you got to tip
00:02:19your cap
00:02:20digging in junior caminero caminero with a homer in his last game
00:02:32that's in for a strike at 95 and account one and one he's been one of the best players in
00:02:39the league
00:02:39driving in runs singe his rbi numbers are good enough to be top five at all of baseball
00:02:45base knock right field so a two out knock keeps the inning alive good start for him to this ball
00:02:54game tonight i was talking about getting knocking your first at bat it just makes your confidence
00:02:59it's such a higher level for the potential to have a big night
00:03:05slider squirts away
00:03:12no advance though
00:03:16caminero off the first with two away
00:03:25ripped but it pearls foul
00:03:38swing and a ball popped up jackson should have this one and that is that
00:03:46orioles do up in the first no score you're watching major league baseball on the show
00:03:55we go to the bottom of the first and on the mound in this one nick martinez and chris
00:04:00pitching on the road has not been particularly kind to him leading off taylor war
00:04:10that miss that's the ball
00:04:18ward went deep in his most recent game
00:04:21the 1-1
00:04:25this one in the air center field
00:04:27simpson settles under this one
00:04:30and there's one down
00:04:34all right let's take a look at the orioles lineup now
00:04:37the guy who's been huge for them over the last month plus pete alonso and he's leading them in
00:04:43runs batted in this season which tells me this guy is able to slow things down when it seems like
00:04:48there's a little bit of pressure and he's looking at as an opportunity to do damage you know a lot
00:04:52of
00:04:52guys they see runners on base and they get big they feel like all this pressure i've got to get
00:04:57these runs in but somehow he seems to settle into these situations so watch out when he comes to the
00:05:02play
00:05:10foul ball left side he'll see another look out that ball is smoked man i am so relieved that
00:05:16they have this netting down the lines just ensures safety for the fans last thing as a player you want
00:05:22to look up and see a fan get hit he came out of his mechanics there typically likes to shoot
00:05:26the ball
00:05:26the other way but that time a little anxious
00:05:33alonso tries to hold up appeal to first and he held up
00:05:39two down nobody on
00:05:43and there's a foul ball
00:05:51hit hard on the ground is short
00:05:54over to diaz and that takes care of alonso that's the third out inning over scoreless after one
00:06:06new inning getting started and stepping in for the raise gavin lux
00:06:17three man i mean nice job just presenting it to be better than it actually was
00:06:28this one in the year center field beavers under it takes it in for the out
00:06:38batting six left fielder jake fraley
00:06:53orio park still one of the most beautiful ballparks in all of baseball i can't say another franchise does it
00:07:00better than baltimore the opening day ceremony
00:07:03the players come in from the outfield through the center field wall long orange carpet so many fans here just
00:07:10a great place
00:07:11just a great place
00:07:15that one finds the zone and the count 42
00:07:30hit hard base hit
00:07:33so they get a man aboard with a one out single he doesn't flinch at all with the front shoulder
00:07:38stays nice and closed behind in the count and hits this ball beautifully
00:07:42has sung kim the next to hit good defender he's been inconsistent offensively
00:07:49just missed that signature warehouse in right field as well you talk about knowing where you are a sense of
00:07:56place
00:07:56i mean who could forget griffey hitting the ball off the warehouse in the home run derby
00:08:01but always when shots are framed you see that building you know exactly where you are orio park
00:08:12nice grab
00:08:14the feed for one
00:08:16to first round in time
00:08:18great effort there
00:08:20the bug is an infielder you have to be ready for anything in that spot it required going to the
00:08:25ground getting a little dirty and making a strong throw for the out
00:08:28great play
00:08:35no and when teams started building sort of state-of-the-art ballparks
00:08:39baltimore was the first organization to do it up the way that they did
00:08:44really
00:08:45lays out but he can't squeeze it
00:08:48still able to get it there in time
00:08:50he keeps his composure and they get the out
00:08:53we'll go to the bottom of the second
00:08:55no score
00:09:02bottom of the inning
00:09:02now the orioles catcher
00:09:04samuel basalo
00:09:09strike right there for him
00:09:10he's gonna have to do that consistently
00:09:12if he's gonna give any link to his skipper
00:09:14and that one lifted in the air center field
00:09:18takes it in for the out
00:09:24batting fifth right fielder
00:09:27Colton

00:10:02when it comes to driving in runs
00:10:04best ball for a strike
00:10:11and that one pulled foul
00:10:18two down nobody on
00:10:21see if you can go upstairs a little bit
00:10:23make sure you miss up and out of the zone
00:10:25since you're heading to count one two
00:10:27don't miss in the zone
00:10:28because that's where you get hurt
00:10:30good eye right there
00:10:32really good take
00:10:33especially with two strikes
00:10:39got him swinging
00:10:43we'll move to the third

00:11:06plus boogies been doing a great job
00:11:08of getting hits
00:11:09just look at his batting average
00:11:10over the last week plus
00:11:11and you'll see those numbers
00:11:13really back it up
00:11:16just
00:11:18Williams
00:11:19launched a homer in his most recent game
00:11:25that's in
00:11:27that's in
00:11:41ball
00:11:50spoils the two strike pitch
00:11:52and he'll see another
00:12:02on the ground
00:12:04Henderson
00:12:06to first but it pulls him off the bag
00:12:10up next for Tampa Bay
00:12:12center fielder
00:12:13Chandler Simpson
00:12:26that's a really good take right there
00:12:28slider down and in
00:12:29very difficult to get on the same plane
00:12:31and do anything with
00:12:34quick toss first
00:12:36low throw
00:12:36and it gets by
00:12:41top of the third

00:12:49to the right side
00:12:51Alonso
00:12:52to second for one
00:12:53and it's over his head
00:12:56to second for one
00:12:57and it's over his head
00:13:05up next for Tampa Bay
00:13:07the designated hitter
00:13:08Jonathan Aranda
00:13:11now the number two hitter
00:13:13Jonathan Aranda
00:13:15golden opportunity right here
00:13:19first pitch and that's in for a strike
00:13:24the
00:13:24the raise
00:13:25looking to strike first
00:13:27we're here in the
00:13:28top half of inning
00:13:28number three
00:13:32line shot into the gap
00:13:34should score at least one
00:13:36one runs in another
00:13:38comes in to score
00:13:40it's a two run double
00:13:42and they have the lead
00:13:44gets him on the board first
00:13:45coming through with two RBI's
00:13:47on that swing
00:13:48pretty much a model swing
00:13:49on that one
00:13:50as he ripped it into the
00:13:51opposite field gap
00:13:52and I'm sure he's gonna be
00:13:53watching that one back on
00:13:54video because that's the kind
00:13:56of swing you want to bottle
00:13:57so many positives that led to
00:13:59that knock
00:14:05way inside
00:14:15man it's second
00:14:17yeah that's fouled off
00:14:32gets him to chase after that one
00:14:34clearly he was sitting on a
00:14:35fastball right there
00:14:36just ended up out in front of
00:14:38the slider
00:14:38hey you can't fault him for his
00:14:40commitment
00:14:40guy was just gonna have to
00:14:41battle with two strikes
00:14:54drilled in the air out towards
00:14:55right center
00:15:00and makes the grab
00:15:01runner tags at second
00:15:03relay to third
00:15:04he makes it to third
00:15:06good base running to move up
00:15:08with only one out
00:15:10first baseman
00:15:11Yanni Diaz now
00:15:12he's over one
00:15:23that one's in there on one
00:15:35well struck left field
00:15:39and it's a one hopper off the
00:15:41wall should score the run
00:15:43runner from third into score
00:15:45and they take a three run lead
00:15:47to second but way too late
00:15:50safe there
00:15:51comes through with the RBI
00:15:52high
00:15:52that's a good sound coming off the
00:15:55bat man and as he connected out
00:15:56front and lifted into the
00:15:57outfield
00:15:58that's one of those swings where
00:15:59you just don't even feel the
00:16:01ball hit the barrel
00:16:02that's a pure stroke
00:16:07that's the ball
00:16:20and another ball activity in the
00:16:23bullpen for Baltimore
00:16:24Yenier Cano the right-handed sinker
00:16:26baller he looks to be ready himself
00:16:28number sixty-three also getting ready
00:16:47that you want
00:16:50base hit into center field headed for the plate
00:16:53the throw in
00:16:55the throw in
00:16:56it's offline
00:16:57the run comes in
00:16:58and they lead by four
00:17:00well done
00:17:01drives in the run
00:17:02you'll often hear the phrase
00:17:03short to it
00:17:04long through it
00:17:06and that's a great example of it right there
00:17:08got the barrel in the hitting zone early
00:17:10squared it up with the well time swing
00:17:12and came away with a beautiful line drive in the center field
00:17:16next to hit Jake Fraley
00:17:18well they've been able to score four runs off of him in this inning
00:17:21and this is where you want to just
00:17:23max out
00:17:24get as much as you can
00:17:25give him one of those tough innings where it's going to be hard for him to recover
00:17:28in the next one
00:17:29ground ball right side could be two
00:17:32throws to Henderson
00:17:33it's safe at first
00:17:34it's a fielder's choice
00:17:38for Tampa Bay
00:17:39second baseman
00:17:41touchdown game
00:17:56when you're struggling out there on the mound hitters know that there'll be plenty of opportunities within the at bat
00:18:01to try to get something to hit hard
00:18:06the 0-1
00:18:08that one is absolutely belted
00:18:10way back there it's got a chance
00:18:13and that one is off the wall
00:18:15Fraley
00:18:16around third
00:18:17he'll score
00:18:18and it's 5-0
00:18:20safely into third
00:18:21it's an RBI triple
00:18:23picks himself up at RBI
00:18:25put a really nice balanced swing on it
00:18:28and when you can rope one into the gap like that
00:18:30you're thinking extra bases from the first couple of steps out of the box
00:18:34and he'll feel real good about that one
00:18:36now the Orioles manager is out of the dugout
00:18:39and he'll make a move to the pen
00:18:40Kyle Bradish departs
00:18:43and this is one he'd like to forget
00:18:45back with a new arm
00:18:46after this
00:18:52now pitching
00:18:53new pitcher now
00:18:54number 63
00:18:55number
00:18:55I think it's got to be a little tough coming in out of the pen
00:18:58when your guys are trailing so big on the scoreboard
00:19:01just doesn't have the same intensity to it
00:19:03but he's got to find a way because these batters count the same for his stats
00:19:07obviously regardless of the score
00:19:10solo runner at third
00:19:11two men out
00:19:12Nick Fortes
00:19:13next to hit for the Rays
00:19:15and that's in there at the knees for a strike
00:19:26that's out to center field
00:19:28Beavers settles underneath it
00:19:31and that is that
00:19:34but nine batters hit in the inning five come around to score
00:19:37we move on to the bottom of the inning number three
00:19:41it's the Rays five and the Orioles nothing
00:19:44it's an
00:19:46back here in Baltimore
00:19:47now here's the Orioles DH
00:19:50Tyler O'Neal
00:19:51Tyler O'Neal
00:19:55nope
00:19:56ball
00:20:02he's just missing with some pitches that
00:20:04I mean those are they're not strikes and that's what you think of
00:20:07good pitches a strike
00:20:08but
00:20:09so many times pitchers are trying to tease the zone
00:20:11and the last two pitches that he's thrown
00:20:13good pitches but even better takes
00:20:16fastball for a strike
00:20:23that one misses so a lead off walk
00:20:26pretty easy walk right there last pitch wasn't even much to think about
00:20:35batting eight center fielder
00:20:38Dylan Beavers
00:20:42and first off ring is fouled off
00:20:44here's something to watch singy
00:20:46he's got the best OPS on the team
00:20:48he can hurt you
00:20:50that clips his own
00:20:51and it's nothing in two
00:20:53Kelly left that change up up
00:20:55got away with one there
00:20:56and he'll take it but doesn't want to make that mistake again
00:20:59keeps the impact going with a foul ball
00:21:03O'Neal gets his lead at first with nobody out
00:21:07fights that one away and the count remains 0-2
00:21:14caught him looking for the key
00:21:16no that's not the best two strike fastball I've seen
00:21:19but certainly got away with the location there
00:21:21you know sometimes as a hitter when you're down in the count
00:21:24you're so focused on a pitcher paint in the black and
00:21:28you just get a little bit locked up
00:21:31zips it across
00:21:32yes got him
00:21:38so back to the top of the Orioles lineup
00:21:41now the left fielder Taylor Ward
00:21:43Taylor Ward
00:21:46and first off ring is fouled off
00:21:48Chris he's been one of the most powerful hitters in baseball this year
00:21:52his home run numbers are good enough to put him top five in the league
00:21:56that's a bullet but it goes foul
00:22:04man on second two down
00:22:06high fly ball right field
00:22:08Lux on his way over
00:22:10pulls it down and he makes the catch
00:22:13one left for the Orioles
00:22:14it's five nothing
00:22:21all set for the start of the unit
00:22:22and stepping in for the Rays
00:22:24Carson Williams
00:22:34fastball for a strike at 95
00:22:36well these Rays doing a good job of putting the ball into play
00:22:40and that makes things more challenging on the defensive side
00:22:43it's tough to remember the times they've actually swung and missed at a pitch
00:22:46because it really hasn't happened
00:22:48they've made contact on nearly a hundred percent of their swings
00:22:52one up one down
00:22:54and you know that strikeout total only two so far
00:22:57really tells you they're not just running into good luck and getting hits to fall
00:23:01they're earning those knocks
00:23:11this
00:23:11this one is a little over one
00:23:33but they're not also getting hurt
00:23:33to the other players
00:23:33because they don't get hurt
00:23:33this one in the air center field and there's two away that's a really nice
00:23:41play ranging back into the outfield for that catch we all know those can be a
00:23:45little tricky especially if the winds roll around out there
00:23:51Jonathan Aranda next to hit for the Rays
00:23:58that's in ball
00:24:02two down nobody on top half of inning number four
00:24:10swing and a high fly ball to left and that'll do it
00:24:17nothing doing here this half to the bottom of inning number four now it's the Rays five
00:24:24welcome back and coming off a series where the pitching was
00:24:29outstanding we take a look at those numbers
00:24:46strike two quickly down oh two in the count I think you got to choke up a little bit spread
00:24:51out the feet you don't know what the velocity or the location of this next pitch is going to be
00:24:56and that one hammered that's back there
00:25:00tattooed and gone
00:25:04his 24th
00:25:06home run of the season and they cut into the deficit it's five
00:25:20when you're working with this kind of velocity so critical that you move the ball around
00:25:24work quickly and make sure that you keep that hitter off balance clearly not pulled by the location or the
00:25:31velocity
00:25:31he was all over that fastball
00:25:35the 1-0
00:25:38and a foul ball
00:25:42nobody on nobody out with a run in we're here in the bottom of the fourth
00:25:53that one ripped
00:25:55one down
00:26:00up next for the orioles
00:26:02catcher
00:26:03so up next
00:26:04samuel basalo
00:26:06fly to center his first time
00:26:10liner
00:26:11snagged at first
00:26:12nothing you can do about those as a hitter even though you know that
00:26:16they still drive you absolutely crazy
00:26:26he's been incredibly efficient in this one first pitch strike percentage over 70 percent
00:26:31that's well above league average and that's what's allowed it to pitch well up into this goal
00:26:36wide drive
00:26:37and that's a fair ball
00:26:38around first and hustling for second
00:26:42he's there it's a two-out double
00:26:45man he just absolutely turned on that one ripped it down the line nice job of standing his mechanics
00:26:56sole runner at second two down jeremiah jackson the next to hit for the orioles
00:27:03just a slow ground ball this time body kicks foul
00:27:13that won't hammer but pulled foul
00:27:39that won't hammer but pulled foul
00:27:41high fly ball out towards left field
00:27:44carrying well
00:27:45and that one is out of here
00:27:49a two-run blast
00:27:51it's their second home run of the inning
00:27:54and they're chipping away
00:27:56it's 5-3
00:28:05well that one got in the jet stream on a line drive
00:28:08he saw the numbers on the backs of the jerseys of the outfielders which is usually bad news and
00:28:14all of a sudden they're back in this ball game
00:28:26get on the ground to short
00:28:29gets it to first and o'neal is retired
00:28:32and that is the third out of the inning
00:28:34but two round trippers in this inning the long ball was working
00:28:39we're headed to the fifth this is orioles baseball on the show mid-atlantic
00:28:45welcome back to the ballpark as we check out the current playoff picture
00:29:01well these rays putting together some really good at bats in this game there's been a lot to like with
00:29:06how they're approaching their chances at the plate it looked to me like they really wanted to get to the
00:29:10starter early get him out of the game before he settles in so i'd say mission accomplished
00:29:15popped in the air left field he's there he's got it one away good pitch he just kind of had
00:29:22him
00:29:22out in front on that pitch away and wasn't able to stay closed
00:29:28obviously this type of run production isn't exactly sustainable game to game but it's a good sign that
00:29:33a lot of hard work's been paying off
00:29:37that catches the top part of the zone and it's all in one
00:29:47comes up empty that strike two but you got the hitter already chasing that nasty slider if you're
00:29:53on the mound you just want to expand the zone right now get a swing and miss and get through
00:29:57this at bat
00:29:58that's what you want it's a good miss
00:30:10fouled off and they'll do it again
00:30:23good job to fight that one off flew open a little bit with that front shoulder but was able to
00:30:28slow
00:30:29his back down just enough to make contact with that pitch keep the bat alive wanted two here
00:30:37gets a piece there we'll do it again
00:30:48i chopper to third
00:30:52toss to alonzo and the first two set down at the top of the fifth
00:30:57up next for tampa bay right fielder here's gavin lux to hit
00:31:23on the ground right side and it goes just foul
00:31:39foul off the plate they'll do it again
00:31:49chew down nobody on
00:31:52ground ball up the middle oh he gloves it throws from his knees and they get the out
00:31:58this guy's anticipation is off the charts don't see many shortstops better than that
00:32:03great job to complete the play and end the inning
00:32:10welcome back as we take a check of the current standings
00:32:14the fielders
00:32:25sliced hard but foul down the left side you know these orioles simply put are producing a lot of
00:32:32quality swings they've hit seven line drives already and even though some of them have been for outs
00:32:37there's nothing wrong with delivering consistent hard contact that's almost always going to lead to
00:32:43positive results battling here as he fouls it away
00:32:50foul ball it stays nothing in two
00:33:02set down on strikes
00:33:05and that's four strikeouts well not much you can argue with there's a hitter that pitch was
00:33:10dotted on the inside corner of the plate i think even if he swings the bat it blows him
00:33:15off and not really able to do anything with it anyhow i think if you see that early then perhaps
00:33:20you
00:33:20can pull those hands a little bit tighter and get the fat part of the bat to it but i'd
00:33:24say overall
00:33:25you just have to tip your cap on that one great execution
00:33:33strike three and that's two in a row a good fastball changeup combo has always been devastating
00:33:39for hitters and that was a great example in that at bat change up fastball change up and he goes
00:33:45down
00:33:45on just three pitches and as a hitter once you're down 0-2 in that spot you have no idea
00:33:50what to sit
00:33:51on you got a 50 50 chance when you guess so i'm sure that change up looked like a fastball
00:33:55almost
00:33:56the entire weight of the plate the rays up by two last half of inning number five you want to
00:34:03be
00:34:03patient here try to work a walk if you can you've got a big power bat behind you in the
00:34:07on-deck circle
00:34:08and with two outs one swing put you right back in this ball game jump throw across his body it's
00:34:15there
00:34:16and that's a great play one two three go the orioles still a two-run deficit it's 5-3
00:34:25back now at orio park close game here and a chance now to look at a few highlights from this
00:34:31one
00:34:31i'm on fire we don't get together then we all die they ain't feeling sympathetic for the small guy
00:34:37i don't think i'm gonna regret it when the cars fly ain't nothing really like it used to wake the
00:34:43neighbors up like a rooster it's a booster help me see the future i believe in karma so let's do
00:34:50some
00:34:51i know you cooped up i know that l.a running i'll call a uber i know that l.a
00:34:55weather got you confused but
00:34:57when you walk in my house pick your shoes up i let my now pitching yenier cano takes over on
00:35:04the
00:35:04mound he's averaging more than one hit allowed per inning pitch this season and that's not where
00:35:09you want to be at all so we'll see how he does here here's the left fielder jake fraley
00:35:19cano on the mound for the 70th time this season and he was born in cuba
00:35:29swing and a base hit and they have their first hit since the third inning
00:35:35up next for tampa bay second baseman
00:35:44there's the strike
00:35:56grounder might be two over to jackson that's one on the first but it pulls it off the bag
00:36:04well they had the chance of turning two right there but i don't think he got a good grip on
00:36:08the
00:36:08balls he tried to transfer from glove to throwing hand they say you can't assume a double play i beg
00:36:13to
00:36:14differ at the big league level but it's going to be ruled as a fielder's choice and here's the catcher
00:36:19nick
00:36:20fortes
00:36:26kim the runner at first with one gone to the inning
00:36:33right through there for a strike
00:36:34right through there for a strike no that's down no that's down ball
00:36:54gold scout looking
00:37:01manager out of the dugout and he's going to make a change yen year cano done for the night
00:37:06two-run ball game as he heads for the dugout and we'll be back with a new pitcher
00:37:18now pitching so a new arm out of the bullpen for the orioles keegan aiken
00:37:23pretty tight game so they're looking for quality pitches out of them right here
00:37:27got to do his best to keep the score right where it is
00:37:39no need to offer that pitch until you get to two strikes it's just a low percentage of success
00:37:44when you want to try to go after that down and away pitch
00:37:53grounds one to short henderson and that's the third out the rays strand just the one that
00:38:00it remains five three
00:38:08back here in baltimore bottom of the sixth inning gunner henderson digs in down
00:38:17so important to get ahead of these hitters you don't want to issue a free pass and allow that
00:38:21tying run to come to the plate always want to keep that other team in a position where if they're
00:38:25going
00:38:25to beat you they're going to have to do it with multiple hits
00:38:37he's trying to stay down in the zone but the hitter just will not chase now back in a 2
00:38:41-2 count he's
00:38:42going to have to go to something else to get him out foul ball another 2-2 upcoming
00:38:53that's down and in
00:39:04hard hit right side leadoff man retired in the sixth
00:39:10up next for the orioles first baseman
00:39:23and that one ripped to left lunges for it but it drops for a hit and that'll bring the tying
00:39:30run to
00:39:31the plate now no waiting around right there he was ready to swing it on the first pitch nice line
00:39:36drive to
00:39:36the pull side right there but he didn't spin off of it that's the key you still have to extend
00:39:41through
00:39:41the baseball in order to hit a line drive like that and here is samuel basala right through there for
00:39:48a strike
00:39:52fought off foul so now it's all about protect mode try to shorten up try to track the ball
00:39:59block it if you have to as far as just a late swing swing and a miss struck him out
00:40:04well that's a blue zone
00:40:05right there or the cold zone on the hitting chart just doesn't have much success in that part of the
00:40:12strike zone and a really good job of the pitcher executing try to go there as often as you can
00:40:17the
00:40:17numbers are the numbers are in your favor
00:40:31the o2 got him looking for the strikeout picks up strikeout number seven
00:40:37one and the orioles leave one they're still down five three
00:40:46welcome back as we take a look at their upcoming schedule
00:40:50and the fielder chandler's fifth and pull your hands up with you with it i like the way you touch
00:40:55the flow
00:40:55when you drop it pull your hands up pull your hands up
00:40:58oh no oh count not every strike is a good strike for a hitter i like the plate discipline there
00:41:07movement in the orioles bullpen rico garcia the young right hander up and throwing
00:41:16close one doesn't get the call one ball one strike and an abs challenge coming from behind the dish
00:41:23it just shaved the zone they'll keep both their challenges
00:41:33oh and two now his understanding the strike zone very impressive that was a very close
00:41:41o2 fastball i just don't know how you take that
00:41:47the one two
00:41:51blind and that's a base hit
00:41:55so a man on base to start the inning he made that look easy keeping his bat in the zone
00:42:01on
00:42:01plane for a long time that leads to a high contact rate and more barrels boo even when you don't
00:42:08get it
00:42:13great it's still hit hard enough to dunk something in like that in front of the center fielder
00:42:22it's still hit hard enough to dunk something in like that in front of the center fielder
00:42:23swings over the top of that one
00:42:29simpson on at first nobody out
00:42:36and that one fouled off
00:42:52got him swinging chase the fastball up the ladder for strike three just overmatched on that fastball
00:42:58right there and it wasn't like he was set up for it by something off speed earlier in the at
00:43:03bat just
00:43:03came right after him with three straight and he had no answer for it one out man at first so
00:43:09next to
00:43:09the plate for tampa bay junior caminero one for three run around the boot pitching for a strike
00:43:17safe at second and that was not close and that's another stolen base for the league leader could have
00:43:24picked a better pitch to go on it looked like he was going no matter what but you steal bases
00:43:29so many
00:43:30times off the pitcher you get that jump there and if the catcher's great he can make up the time
00:43:35but if you've got good speed he's not going to make it up
00:43:38drilled out towards left center field that's well struck that one carrying see you later
00:43:45the two-run shot is 34th of the season and they tack on to their lead it's 7-3
00:43:54that's a swing that'll boost the wind probability for sure
00:44:13high fastballs especially with good velocity can be really hard to catch up to but he stays tall his top
00:44:20hand works extremely well and he absolutely clobbered it
00:44:35two runs across in the inning here the top half of inning number seven
00:44:42that's the third male throw to first in time
00:44:49up next for tampa bay right fielder gabin luff
00:45:08there was oh oh here it is hit it
00:45:11he gets a take gets ahead in the count
00:45:19bow
00:45:27swing and a miss and that one missed by a ton
00:45:35got him looking for the k that was pretty nasty
00:45:40the rays with a two-run homer it's now a four-run lead
00:45:44at seven three it's an al east matchup here on mlb
00:45:53now pitching we're back in a new pitcher here to start the bottom of the seventh
00:45:57ham booser and he's got a nice lead to work with so he should come in throwing strikes attacking these
00:46:03hitters
00:46:07that's the ball they've got a potent lineup and when you think about teams capable of rallying from
00:46:11this kind of deficit they're right at the top of the list check swing called strike strike one
00:46:22the one one is fouled off
00:46:31the one two
00:46:34ground ball to the middle that's a base hit
00:46:38and a good start to the inning
00:46:43up next for the orioles
00:46:45designated hitter tyler o'neal
00:46:52that missed this ball kicks away a little as he can't squeeze it
00:46:55tag safe at second good base running to take off there should be a pass ball
00:47:00that's some real trouble with the pitch there that's one he should have had and that essentially
00:47:04turns that leadoff single into a leadoff double takes away any chance of neutralizing it with the
00:47:09double play ball warm burner into the outfield for a knock jackson coming home
00:47:16now a relay to the plate he's safe it's seven four
00:47:21soul man aboard and next for the orioles dylan beavers who's over two with a pair of strikeouts
00:47:30swing and a pop off in foul ground
00:47:34and that's a foul ball
00:47:40here's your one
00:47:44into center and a base hit lead runner to second so two on and nobody out everything was on time
00:47:51and
00:47:52fluid in that swing got a pitch you could get the barrel on and lined it in the center for
00:47:56the knock
00:47:56there's always feel this crowd waking up a bit here as the guys are starting to make some noise with
00:48:08their backs that one finds the zone that strike one
00:48:16with that pitch down
00:48:24and that misses and account two and one good spot for the hitter definitely has the advantage in this
00:48:30count with runners on look for him to be aggressive on this next pitch that's in there at the knees
00:48:35and it's strike two
00:48:39went with the sweeper but it misses taylor war waiting on deck for the orioles
00:48:49and that'll load the bases good patience to take that walk and keep the line moving and
00:48:55it sets up a critical at bat coming up with the bases loaded here now the left fielder taylor war
00:49:01go for three with two fly outs and a ground out
00:49:05in there at the knees strike one well this is a tough situation with the bases loaded but the healthiest
00:49:11mindset is just trying to get out one hitter at a time
00:49:20bow and chew down this one in the air right field locks on his horse won't get to this one
00:49:28it drops foul
00:49:31deal two
00:49:33in the air right field
00:49:36base hit one run in already
00:49:39a second scores as well relay throw home the tag and he's out and they cut down the tying run
00:49:47man that's a play we may look back on when this one's over and wonder
00:49:51what if they would have held it can't blame them for trying to tie it up late this ball game
00:49:55but when
00:49:56you lose a huge run like that that's only 90 feet away man it's a tough one to swallow if
00:50:02they
00:50:02don't pull out the w kim gets there he's under it he's got it two away down
00:50:10with a single base runner because of all the power they are dangerous
00:50:15to tie this thing up or take the lead
00:50:18here's pete alonso
00:50:21that's the ball right now they're looking for something hit hard into the gaps give them an
00:50:26opportunity with two outs to score that run from first
00:50:32and that's in there at the knees for a strike
00:50:40and that is out of play
00:50:42definitely got the hitter conscious of the pitch inside really think the outer half is open
00:50:47two two down hard ground ball for a base stop
00:50:53as the tying run is forced to stop at second well that was an important bat in this game so
00:50:59great job there stepping up to the challenge there's nothing cheap about the way he got down
00:51:04and through the infield that was ripped cut out and falling didn't get under it like he would have
00:51:08right but definitely put a good swing on now a pretty good back coming up with a chance to even
00:51:13this ball game up
00:51:18in the dirt blocked nothing happening on the bases though
00:51:27two on two outs just off the outside edge this has been a rough inning but sometimes just got to
00:51:34work
00:51:35through it save the rest of that bullpen somehow stop the bleeding he takes it himself to the bag
00:51:40and that'll do it they strike for three runs on five hits no errors and a couple left on eighth
00:51:47inning
00:51:47coming up it's the race welcome back and a new arm on the mound to start d8 rico garcia just
00:51:55trying
00:51:55to keep this one close here and this is where a bullpen can give their players a chance to fight
00:52:00back
00:52:00into the game stepping in jake fraley activity in the bullpen for baltimore andrew kittredge the heart
00:52:13throwing he is up and loosening
00:52:25hee-haw
00:52:37in the air left side ward has a bead on it takes it in for the out
00:52:46up next for tampa bay second baseman
00:52:59ball
00:53:08man that got him square in the mask
00:53:20little bouncer out in front of the plate
00:53:23tosses the first two up two down here in the top of the eighth
00:53:30two down bases empty
00:53:31nick fortez next to hit for the rays 0 for 3 a fly out of ground out and a strikeout
00:53:52strike two this guy's not wasting any pitches hitters got to get into swing mode this is a good time
00:53:58to expand
00:53:59his own throw something maybe down in the dirt
00:54:02and a foul baldy stays alive
00:54:10chew down nobody on
00:54:14pop up foul territory behind the plate
00:54:18and that is that
00:54:22rays go in order one two three as they still lead by one it's seven six
00:54:31now pitching for back down new pitcher on the mound as we roll into the bottom of the eight
00:54:36mason engler and as relievers go he's not a big strikeout guy he tries to force weak
00:54:42contact so command and execution are huge for him the bit behind with that swing it's strike one
00:54:51that one finds the zone and the count is 0-2
00:54:57ball
00:55:03got it looking that's a strikeout pretty big strikeout right there to start this eighth inning
00:55:08down one any lead off base runner really makes this inning a bit more interesting but now this
00:55:14offense has to switch from possibly trying to manufacture a run to needing to run into something
00:55:19or just try to string multiple hits together to get around across the plate jackson stands in here
00:55:24tried to hold back his swing there but went around
00:55:34got him swinging for the strikeout coming out of the bullpen throwing babies chance to strike out the
00:55:40side now you talk about the benefits the advantages of relievers who can come in and get the swing and
00:55:46miss whether it's inherited runners or maybe a little jam that they get into themselves knowing that they
00:55:51can miss the bat tell you what that's huge and can change the ball game tapped on the ground
00:55:56softly to short over to diaz and the inning is over
00:56:01three up three down for the orioles they're right in it though it's seven six
00:56:09we go to the ninth now it's the shortstop carson williams
00:56:30and that one finds its way through so now back to the top of the order
00:56:36well a swing like that can help you come out of this struggle we saw the numbers coming into the
00:56:41ball game but all he's trying to do at this point is help his team win
00:56:50that close the corner
00:56:59now quick throw to first and he dives back in safely
00:57:04one run game here at the top of the ninth
00:57:12puts it in the air out towards left center ward moving under this one takes it in for the out
00:57:23up next for tamper bay the designated at the plate now for the raise is the dh
00:57:28pitch jonathan aranda struck out on just three pitches last time
00:57:38line drive base hit
00:57:42they get it in quickly so first and second now one out
00:57:46up next for tampa bay anytime you rip a line drive the other way you feel really good about what
00:57:52you
00:57:52did at the plate you trusted your hands you let the ball travel and you took the barrel straight to
00:57:57it
00:57:57that's great work right there
00:58:07fastball for a strike
00:58:16two on one out there's a strike
00:58:40hard grounder into the outfield for a knock rounds third headed for the plate
00:58:45he'll score easily it's an rbi single and they take a two-run lead and a nine
00:58:51got the job done to put him up by two got the top of the ball a little bit but
00:58:55not much that was hit
00:58:56pretty hard through the infield so i think he'll be happy with that swing definitely generated some
00:59:01good bat speed first and second one out yandy diaz next to hit for the rays
00:59:11so that miss the rays trying to break this one open here at the top of the night
00:59:22next offering his foul back
00:59:34he's getting a little frustrated out there on the mound getting hit around a little bit let's see if he
00:59:39can settle himself down
00:59:45up
00:59:45up the middle there's one double play what a clean killing down the unit

01:01:38pick and he's really turned into a nice everyday player going at that can be a little bit of a
01:01:43dance strike one here but a few more pitches we'll see how it turns out this could end it
01:01:50cut on and missed struck him out and that's the ball game it's always nice to grab the opener of
01:01:56the series you come into a new ballpark and just sometimes things aren't as comfortable as what you've
01:02:01been used to the mound doesn't look straight the background isn't what you like but they didn't let
