00:30And Tampa Bay Rays taking on the Baltimore Orioles.
00:37First pitch coming your way next.
00:44And getting a start for Baltimore, Zach Eflin.
00:48And Singe, it's unique these days, but he's more of a pitch-to-contact type of guy.
00:53Yeah, Boogie, he doesn't rely too heavily on the strikeout.
00:56He knows he needs to miss barrels, get some soft contact, let the defense do work behind him.
01:01And I think a guy like that can keep a good tempo, don't give hitters time to adjust or think.
01:07They can move through a ballgame, and you look off, they're in line for a quality start.
01:11We'll see what he's got in this way.
01:20Line to second, snagged on the bounce.
01:23Jackson tosses the first, and the first out of the game is an easy one.
01:28Take a look at the lineup.
01:29These guys can really pile up the runs, Chris.
01:32They're among the top teams in scoring this year.
01:34Yeah, and when you can get a lead and be out in front, it really changes what that opposing manager
01:40can do with his bullpen.
01:42And on top of that, it helps your own pitching staff.
01:45It gives them more margin for error.
01:47So instead of guys squeezing the ball, trying to throw darts and be perfect, they can relax, let the ball
01:53come out of their hands, and pitch effectively.
01:54So that offense and the ability to score runs also helps the pitching and the defense.
02:00This looks like extra bases.
02:05And that's a double.
02:08Man, those are the types of hits where you don't feel any vibration in your hands whatsoever.
02:13Such a good feeling.
02:15Other than ripping one into the gap or blasting one over the wall, there aren't a whole lot of hits
02:19that are more satisfying than a nice line drive in the center field.
02:22So that definitely felt good.
02:24And now it's going to be Junior Caminero, one of the stars in the win yesterday, as he had three
02:31hits.
02:31Right through there for a strike.
02:42And that one ripped to left.
02:45Two down.
02:50And that one is going to be the first.
02:53One is going to be the first.
02:55One is going to be the first.
03:02One is going to be the first.
03:04One is going to be the first.
03:04One is going to be the first.
03:05One is going to be the first.
03:08One is going to be the first.
03:08One is going to be the first.
03:15That one missed.
03:17That's down.
03:26Now fly ball to right center.
03:28O'Neal moving under this one.
03:32And that'll do it.
03:36A double in the inning, but they leave him stranded.
03:39And now the O's will get their first crack at it.
03:41No score.
03:49Ready to go for the last half of the inning.
03:51And today's starting pitcher, Ian Seymour.
03:54Chris, what should we keep an eye on here with him?
03:57Anytime you have five pitches to work with on the mound,
03:59that repertoire can be a real weapon in terms of keeping hitters off balance, man.
04:03It's one of those things that I'm going to be looking for in this one.
04:07Does he have a feel for all of those pitches?
04:10Or is he just able to get one or two over in the strike zone where he wants?
04:14Now it's tough to do to be able to command all those pitches.
04:16But if he can, he is going to be very tough for the opponent today.
04:23Just missed.
04:29And that's him for a strike.
04:31Three and two now.
04:35That one misses.
04:36So a leadoff walk.
04:45Here's Pete Alonso.
04:47Two hits in the game last night.
05:06And the polar bear strikes out.
05:11All right.
05:12Let's take a look at the Orioles lineup now.
05:14Not the highest team batting average for this squad.
05:17They're down towards the bottom of the league in total hits.
05:19And Singe, because of that, they don't score a ton.
05:22Yeah.
05:23And Boog, I'm looking for a little better performance out of them today.
05:26I mean, if they're going to be dangerous,
05:28if they're going to be able to create scoring opportunities,
05:30they're going to have to start making some individual adjustments.
05:33A lot of players in this lineup probably aren't happy with how they've hit the ball so far.
05:37So today's a chance to get something going.
05:41Here's Tyler O'Neal.
05:48In there at the knees for a strike.
05:55Comes up empty.
05:56That's strike two.
06:02In the dirt.
06:04To second.
06:05Save.
06:06Easy.
06:07And now, a man into scoring position.
06:10Heads up, ace running right there.
06:18Man at second.
06:20Foul ball still a one and two count.
06:34Hard grounder into the outfield for a knock.
06:36Round's third, headed for the plate.
06:38The throw in.
06:39Save.
06:40In comes the run from second.
06:42And it's 1-0.
06:44And he'll make it to second base with two gone.
06:46They're on a strike first as he gets the job done to bring home the run.
06:50Timing on the swing was good.
06:52Able to shoot the ball up the middle.
06:53Didn't square it up as much as he probably would have liked.
06:55But that's a good approach paying off.
06:58That's in there.
06:59That's strike one.
07:00Jackson matched a homer in his last game.
07:03Late with the swing there.
07:08In the air to left center.
07:13And that's the third out.
07:17But the RBI single pushes across a run.
07:20It's now 1-0.
07:22It's an AL East matchup here on MLB The Show.
07:28New inning getting started.
07:29And stepping in for the Rays.
07:31Johnny DeLuca.
07:32This has been a career year for him when it comes to driving in runs.
07:47That's a bullet.
07:48But it goes foul.
07:54Here's a 1-1.
07:58Fouled off.
07:59He was late.
08:12To third.
08:13And that chance handled.
08:15Zips it to first.
08:16Nice play off the bounce for the out.
08:19Good stretch there to make the play.
08:20It looks like someone added a little yoga to their daily routine, if you ask me.
08:45Ripped, but a curls foul.
08:47Ripped, but a curls foul.
08:56High fly ball.
08:58Right field.
08:59This could go the distance.
09:01Home run.
09:05Cedric Mullins sends it out.
09:08His 18th home run of the season.
09:10And it ties it up.
09:12It's 1-1.
09:14He absolutely crushed that one.
09:17No doubt about that one, Boog.
09:18We knew it wasn't coming back.
09:20A breaking ball on the inside part of the play requires a hitter to stay really square with his mechanics.
09:26If you fly open with the front shoulder, there's no way you keep that ball fair.
09:30An outstanding job mechanically.
09:32He deserves that home run.
09:34So it's all tied up thanks to the home run.
09:37Richie Palacios.
09:38Next to hit for the Rays.
09:41Chris, you played here in 2002.
09:43What are the memories that stand out as to being a member of the Baltimore Orioles?
09:48For me, it was just pulling into the parking lot and having those that were there with an encouraging smile.
09:55This one's into the outfield.
09:56Could be extra bases.
09:59Safely into second.
10:00He's got a double.
10:03That pretty much split the zone down the middle, and those are the ones where you've got to make them
10:08pay.
10:23Ball one.
10:24And you had a cameo in the movie Moneyball as an Orioles player in a highlight clip.
10:34Line drive.
10:34That's a base hit.
10:35And Palacios headed for the plate.
10:39He will score, and they take the lead.
10:42It's an RBI single.
10:44It's 2-1.
10:45Mission accomplished there as he picks up the RBI to give him the lead.
10:50Nice job of driving that pitch the other way on a line.
10:53You know, hitters, they take so many reps in the cages working on going to the opposite field,
10:57and it doesn't always translate into the game.
10:59But right there, it did, and he did it perfectly.
11:02Next to hit, Taylor Walls.
11:14Swing and a ground ball up the middle, into the outfield base hit.
11:19The throw to third.
11:20In there.
11:21He's safe.
11:22Back-to-back singles.
11:24Really nice job staying up the middle with his approach.
11:26He didn't try to do too much with the pitch.
11:28Just shot it through the infield.
11:43And that's in there at the knees for a strike.
11:46For the runner at third, this is who they wanted to play.
11:49He's so good at getting a run across in these situations.
11:55Over to Jackson.
11:57That's one.
11:57Over to first.
11:59Safe.
12:01I promise you, they're guys that get a little bit faster when they can smell an RBI.
12:04That was a possible ending-ending double play.
12:07Great hustle, and he gets rewarded with the RBI because of it.
12:14Jonathan Aranda digs in now.
12:17Doubled his first time off.
12:22Hey!
12:26Already three runs across in the frame here at the top of the second.
12:31Runner on the goal.
12:33Pitch in for a strike.
12:35Throw to second.
12:36Out of bounds.
12:38Safe.
12:38And the league leader in stolen bases does it again.
12:42Well, it really doesn't matter what the situation is.
12:44When a guy like this gets on first, you know he's going to steal second at some point during the
12:49at-bat.
12:50Nice job to get in the scoring position.
12:52The defense probably knew it was coming, but they just couldn't sit down on strikes.
12:57That ends the inning and stops things from getting out of hand.
13:00So they get three runs on four hits.
13:03One was the solo homer.
13:05Now to the bottom of the...
13:07Back now at Oriole Park.
13:09Now the Orioles catcher, Adley Rutschman.
13:13Rutschman.
13:14Hey!
13:19Fastball for a strike.
13:20Quickly into an 0-2 count.
13:23Both pitches were down in the zone.
13:24I think you set your sights a little bit higher because you'll have a tendency to chase if you look
13:30down in that area.
13:31And that one is lifted in the air.
13:33Reaching down.
13:34Makes the catch.
13:37Batting seven.
13:38The shortstop.
13:39Jackson.
13:41Jackson.
13:48Up the middle.
13:49And that one finds its way through.
13:52Soleimana Borg now with one away.
13:57Good start for him to this ballgame tonight.
13:59Now I was talking about getting a knock in your first lead bat.
14:02It just makes your confidence.
14:04It's such a higher level for the potential to have a big night.
14:10Layoti Tavares.
14:12Batting with one down.
14:13Takes a strike.
14:16Next offering is fouled back.
14:19Man at first.
14:21One away.
14:24Got him looking.
14:25And there are two down.
14:27Batting nuts.
14:28The third baseman.
14:29Blaine.
14:31Alex Henter.
14:35The bit behind with that swing.
14:37It's strike one.
14:39Runner, runner, runner.
14:40The kick in the pitch.
14:41Runner goes.
14:42Strike in there.
14:44Throw to second.
14:45Out at second.
14:46That ends the inning.
14:48We'll try to get in the scoring position.
14:49But a great catch and throw to end the inning.
14:53That's the way to pick up the pitcher.
15:00Back here at the ballpark.
15:01Let's check out the latest news from around the league.
15:04Number 13.
15:05Junior.
15:06I want to play with fire.
15:11Fire.
15:12I want to play with fire.
15:17Close but called a ball.
15:20And that's ball one.
15:21Well, I think he's trying to get a feel for where that one missed.
15:25I mean, it could have gone either way.
15:26But he looked a little shocked for a second there.
15:29Popped up.
15:30Foul territory behind the plate.
15:32Has room.
15:33And he makes the catch.
15:36The batter, number two.
15:38Deficated hitter, Yanni Gio.
15:56Next offering in there for a strike.
15:59No balls, two strikes.
16:06See if he can go upstairs a little bit.
16:08Make sure you miss up and out of the zone since you're heading to count one, two.
16:12Don't miss in the zone because that's where you get hurt.
16:15Out to center.
16:18And there's two down.
16:22Up next for Tampa Bay.
16:23And here's a look at how he's using his pitches in this one.
16:26Johnny DeLuca.
16:28Two outs.
16:29Base is empty.
16:31Now it's the right fielder.
16:32Johnny DeLuca.
16:33Grounded out his first time.
16:37There's a strike.
16:47That one back up the middle and it gets through.
16:51So a two out knock keeps the inning alive.
16:56Up next for Tampa Bay.
16:58The center fielder, Cedric Mullins.
17:02Now a quick throw to first.
17:04DeLuca back in on a dive.
17:15Off the plate.
17:16Ball one.
17:22Runner on the move.
17:24That's it for a strike.
17:26Throw to second.
17:27Save.
17:32Chris, his wheels were the difference maker on that plate.
17:35Just got in there.
17:37Yeah, with StatCast's help,
17:38we see his top speed on this stolen base.
17:41And that's a big number.
17:42I mean, man, he really made his athleticism work for him on that one.
17:48On the ground, right side.
17:50He takes it himself to the bag, and that'll do it.
17:54The Rays strand just the one, as the lead remains 3-1.
18:01Welcome back to the ballpark, as we check out the current playoff picture.
18:14Swing and a pop-up.
18:16Foul territory for the catcher.
18:19And a foul ball.
18:23Here comes 0-1.
18:27And that's a base hit.
18:29Man aboard on the leadoff single.
18:36Show the willingness to drive that pitch the opposite way.
18:39Didn't get chipped.
18:40He didn't try to pull the ball.
18:41He let it get deep.
18:42Took the ball right to it,
18:44and then extended through the swing for the line drive base hit.
18:47Hey.
18:52The 0-1.
18:55No question about this one.
18:57It's out of here.
19:03Taylor Ward blasts one out.
19:05His 32nd of the year, and we're leveling.
19:09It's 3-3.
19:11Maybe he's starting to break out of this mini-slung.
19:13That's the type of swing that makes you think good things are coming his way.
19:20There was a fastball down the middle.
19:22I don't think the hitter recognized the pitch,
19:24but once he did,
19:25he's quick enough to get it in play with some authority.
19:28He got that up and out of here.
19:30So it's all tied up thanks to the home run.
19:33Pete Alonso, the next to hit for the Orioles.
19:36Hey.
19:37Since debuting in 2019,
19:38no player in the majors has hit more homers than Pete Alonso.
19:50Craig Kimbrell is forced to the mound after the injury.
19:54And he's been hit pretty hard at times this year,
19:57so he's looking for better.
19:59Right now,
20:00giving up more than a hit for any.
20:07That one hammered,
20:08but pulled foul.
20:14Fights it off.
20:15He'll see another.
20:21Spoils the two-strike pitch,
20:22and he'll see another.
20:25The one-two.
20:29Base hit.
20:30That was smoked through the infield.
20:33And a man of gold.
20:35Gotta love the resiliency.
20:36Showing that bad battling with two strikes.
20:39I know that was a ground ball,
20:40but it was absolutely hammered through the infield.
20:43That's not one you're excited to get in front of
20:45if you're an infielder.
20:46You know they used to say,
20:47charge it.
20:48Crazy.
20:50Tied up here in the early going.
20:53Line drive.
20:55And this one could be extra bases.
21:00Here comes the runner.
21:02The relay.
21:04And he's out.
21:05In the back.
21:06He's out.
21:07A lot of real estate to cover on that play defensively.
21:11A long throw to the cutoff, man.
21:13And then a lot of work to make up as well on the relay.
21:16But an excellent job.
21:25Execution and getting that out of the dish
21:27as he tried to make it home all the way from first base.
21:30O'Neal in the box now.
21:32Takes strike one.
21:35That's it.
21:36And it's nothing in two.
21:37They seem to be a little aggressive at the plate today.
21:40Specifically going after that changeup.
21:43Swinging out of the zone.
21:44It's only going to hurt your chances to do any damage.
21:48He's really tightening up his hitting zone with two strikes here.
21:51I love it.
21:54Still two and two after the foul ball.
21:59Man at second.
22:01And it remains two and two.
22:08Got him swinging on the curve ball.
22:11Two away.
22:12That's a pretty nasty pitch right there.
22:14I'd call it a power curve ball in the 80s.
22:17It's got so much spin on it.
22:18And you really don't have a lot of time to sit back
22:20and watch what it's going to do before you have to commit.
22:23It was a good one for the swinging strikeout.
22:27Runner at second.
22:28Two down.
22:28Here in the last half of the third.
22:31Swing and a line drive.
22:32And that's a base hit into right field.
22:35And they hold him at third.
22:3790 feet away with two out.
22:39Up next to the Orioles.
22:41Big rip off the bat there.
22:42Some seriously loud contact on that knock.
22:45Didn't bring in the run.
22:46But he got him that much closer to taking the lead here.
22:52Swing and a ground ball.
22:53Just foul down the right field line.
22:56Wow.
23:00Oh, damn.
23:04Traffic on the bases with two already in to score here in the second game of the series.
23:10Tough spot right here.
23:11A couple of runners on.
23:12Two ball count.
23:13You can't nibble.
23:15Arunda.
23:16He takes it on his own.
23:18They limit the damage here.
23:21Baltimore with a two-run shot this inning.
23:24We're tied now with three apiece.
23:26It's an AL East matchup here on MLB The Show.
23:33Back here in Baltimore.
23:34It's that time of the season.
23:36Let's check out some notable trade candidates.
23:38We're tied now with nine regentів.
23:41We're tied now with two.
23:42We're tied now with two-run shots
23:45We're tied now with three.
24:06We're tied now with three.
24:06To do two-run shots.
24:08And to notre run, we're tied now with three.
24:110 and 2 now keeps the at-bat going with a foul ball
24:26there's a swing and a drive that's got a chance
24:30on the warning track and hauls it in
24:58this one in the air center field to
25:01the Bears in position and that quickly to
25:05away now at the plate Taylor walls picked up a base hit to center his first
25:14time on wall
25:23two down nobody on top half of inning number four
25:33that's a base hit so the two out knock extends the inning and sends them back to
25:38the top of the order up next for Tampa Bay the left fielder Chandler
25:50I
26:02blind in the right center field that's a base hit lead runner makes the
26:06Turn it second.
26:07And that'll put runners up the corners with two away.
26:12Up next for Tampa Bay.
26:14So much of good hitting is finding holes in the defense.
26:16That's why you're always thinking line drive into the gap.
26:19Those kinds of swings really boost your confidence.
26:22And here is Jonathan Aranda.
26:25One for two.
26:28That one's in there.
26:30Four and one.
26:41So now it's all about protect mode.
26:43Try to shorten up.
26:44Try to track the ball.
26:46Block it if you have to as far as just a late swing that maybe you're not sure about.
26:50But some way, somehow, climb back into this at-bat through the count.
26:54And right back to the mound.
26:56In plenty of time.
26:58The first and that will end the inning.
27:00Three and a half.
27:01We're all even.
27:02Three apiece.
27:09Now picking for him.
27:10Welcome back.
27:11And they turn to a new arm as we kick off the bottom of the fourth.
27:14Steven Matz.
27:15He doesn't get a lot of strikeouts compared to other relievers.
27:18So he relies on getting that soft contact and the defense doing work behind him.
27:23They'll have to be on their toes with him on the bump.
27:30On the ground to third.
27:32Dives, but it kicks off his glove.
27:34And it gets by him.
27:38Up next to the Orioles.
27:40Go ahead, run on base.
27:42Laoti Tavares.
27:44Getting ready to hit.
27:45That's in for a strike.
27:50Here comes the pitch.
27:52Here goes the runner from first.
27:53In the air to left center.
27:57He's got it.
27:58And there's one down.
28:03Up next for the Orioles.
28:05The third baseman, Dwayne.
28:14That misses.
28:16Ball one.
28:25One away tie game.
28:26Go ahead.
28:27Run stands at first.
28:29We're here at the bottom of the fourth.
28:31Man, he was really tardy on that fastball.
28:33Rudder takes off on the ground.
28:35Caminero.
28:38Safe at first as they can't make the play.
28:43Up next to the Orioles.
28:45The left fielder, number three.
28:47So back to the top of the Orioles lineup.
28:49Here's the left fielder.
28:50Taylor Ward.
28:51Up the middle.
28:53Oh, great stop.
28:54The flip to second.
28:56What a double play that was.
28:58Inning over.
28:59Pitcher made the pitch.
29:00And his players made the play behind him.
29:02Nice job.
29:034-6-3 inning.
29:05Ending double play.
29:14Ready now for the fifth inning.
29:16And stepping in for the Rays.
29:17Junior Caminero.
29:25Inside.
29:26Ball one.
29:27Well, these Rays doing a good job of putting the ball into play.
29:30And that makes things more challenging on the defensive side.
29:33One thing that really stands out to me is how they've only struck out one time.
29:38That's good discipline right there.
29:39And on top of it, they're producing more than a hit per inning.
29:44Chopped back up the middle.
29:46Holiday.
29:47Throws the first.
29:48One away here in the fifth.
29:50And you know we're living in the launch angle era.
29:53But today feels like we're being treated to a throwback performance.
29:56Talking about those ground ball numbers in this one.
30:03Yeah!
30:13Turned on, but that's foul down the third baseline.
30:17Mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm.
30:24Rarity will you see a pitcher just to waste a pitch like that.
30:27The batter wasn't even tempted to swing.
30:29Every pitch needs to have a purpose so that it can set up a following pitch to help you get
30:34that out.
30:34Three!
30:35And he couldn't hold back.
30:36He's rung up on strikes.
30:41Johnny DeLuca next to him for the Rays.
30:44The right fielder, number 21, Johnny DeLuca.
31:00A little out front there as he swings through it.
31:11Fouled off.
31:12And they'll do it again.
31:19Two down, nobody on.
31:22Cut on and missed.
31:24And it's a strikeout.
31:25And that is the inning.
31:27Halfway home.
31:28Tied at three.
31:31Tied at three.
31:37Back at the ballpark as we take a check of the bullpen so far this season.
31:54Oh, look at the stop.
31:56Fires to first.
31:57Nicely done for the out.
31:59Up next for the Oriole.
32:01The first baseman, Daniel Woll.
32:09And he hits a ground ball right side into the outfield base hit.
32:13So they get a man aboard with a one-off single.
32:18Kind of rolled over on this pitch a little bit.
32:20But he got a knock behind it to shoot it through for a knock.
32:23And you'll take that any time you can get him to find a hole.
32:27O'Neal at the plate now.
32:29And that's strike one.
32:34Grounder might be two.
32:36Feeds to second.
32:37Out there.
32:38And that's two.
32:41Got the batter to hit it exactly where he wanted.
32:43That textbook 6-4-3.
32:45Double play.
32:46Gets out of the jam.
32:47And back in the dugout.
32:52Welcome back.
32:53It's been a great game.
32:54So let's take another look at the most important moment so far.
32:57I ain't winning.
32:58I'm winning.
32:59Baby was winning in mid-sentence.
33:00Feel it.
33:01Hustle it.
33:02No bad.
33:02I did it.
33:03It's just the beginning.
33:04I ain't even close to finish.
33:06I got money on the other line.
33:07I got to get the call.
33:08If you ain't gonna make me better, I don't even get involved.
33:11Couple on the close.
33:12That's involved.
33:13Getting duggies with my dogs.
33:14Till it's through the walls.
33:16I done drove everything.
33:17This is to me.
33:18P-signs don't do arguing.
33:19I just throw the P-signs.
33:21Huh.
33:21Let it say.
33:22Now pitching for the Orioles.
33:24Taking over on the mound.
33:26He has a great slider with tons of movement.
33:29Good job.
33:30And stepping in for the Rays, Cedric Mullins.
33:33He's already homered here in this one.
33:38Hey.
33:39Mullins.
33:39It is eighth season.
33:4131 years old.
33:43He joined the team as a free agent.
33:52Hit on the ground to short.
33:54Holiday.
33:55On to first.
33:57And that's one out as they get the leadoff hitter in the sixth.
34:03The batter number one, second baseman, Richie Palacios.
34:12Lifted in the air down the left side.
34:14And that'll fall for a base hit.
34:16And that's a one out single.
34:22Up next for Tampa Bay.
34:23Kind of a risky pitch coming inside with the breaking ball like that.
34:27You have to bury it.
34:28Otherwise, it's not too difficult to get the bat to it like he did that time.
34:32And now, Nick Fortes.
34:35All one.
34:46And that one is popped in the air.
34:48Shallow center.
34:49And a base hit.
34:50Throw into third.
34:52And he's out easily.
34:57Hey, as a former center fielder, I'm feeling pretty good right now.
35:01That's an excellent job by this guy to come up throwing and deliver a strike to third base.
35:05Now, for the offense, that's a tough one to swallow because you never want to lose a runner in scoring
35:10position by making it out in third base.
35:17In the air, right field.
35:20And that is that.
35:23One left for Tampa.
35:24On to the bottom of inning number six.
35:27Tied three apiece.
35:31Welcome back as we take a check of the current standings.
35:34The second baseman.
35:36Jerome.
35:36Oh, yeah.
35:36Oh, yeah.
35:37Wait a minute.
35:37We already need a minute.
35:39The party been started.
35:40We already need a finish.
35:41If I buy a chain, I'm doing it by myself.
35:45And that is out of play.
35:47You know, these Orioles, simply put, are producing a lot of quarterbacks.
35:51Quality swings.
35:52We've heard lots of loud noise coming from their backs in this one, haven't we?
35:56I mean, they've logged six hits at 90-plus exit velocity.
36:00And that doesn't happen by accident.
36:04Got him.
36:05Lead off, man.
36:06Retired in the sixth.
36:07Well, he went up there trying to be aggressive, that's for sure.
36:10Hacking up those first two pitches.
36:11But clearly that last one fooled him.
36:13He could have been sitting on something else entirely.
36:15But you want to be able to adjust on 0-2 and at least get a swing off when it's
36:20in the zone.
36:21Maybe choke up.
36:22Maybe spread out your stance a little bit.
36:23You got to give the guy credit on the mound, though.
36:25He went right after it.
36:29That one missed.
36:31I'm not saying they do, but with the way they're squaring up the ball right now, it's almost like they
36:35know what's coming.
36:36They seem very confident at the plate.
36:45Swing and a ground ball into the outfield.
36:48Base hit.
36:49So a man aboard now with one away.
36:53Well, he found himself behind in the count right there, but he didn't get in.
36:57Not much to this one other than just a willingness to go the other way and put the ball.
37:06Well, that's a team to bat right there.
37:08Nice job of staying back and letting the ball get deep.
37:11That smashed towards center.
37:13He's got it.
37:17Man, that's one of those at-bats where you have to remind yourself it's about the process.
37:21He did everything right right there.
37:23Nothing to show for it.
37:25But in your mind, you have to convince yourself that it was a very good at-bat.
37:30Tavares.
37:30The next to hit.
37:32Takes outside.
37:36Swings and misses.
37:37And the count is one and one.
37:40Two gone.
37:41The possible go-ahead run at first.
37:46Throw.
37:46Puts him off the bag.
37:48And he's safe.
37:49Next to the Orioles.
37:51The third baseman.
37:52Three.
37:54Three.
37:59That's ripped into the outfield.
38:02Makes a nice run at catch.
38:05And the inning is over.
38:07One hit, one error in the inning, but they wind up leaving two.
38:11We're through six full.
38:12All tied up.
38:15Welcome back.
38:16We're in the seventh.
38:17We have a new pitcher on the mound.
38:18Andrew Pintridge.
38:20Well, he's been hit pretty hard at times this season, as you see with the big ERA.
38:24So, this is an important outing for him.
38:31Get on the right track.
38:38Definitely a swing and miss slider down and in.
38:41He finished that really well.
38:42Just couldn't get him to offer at it.
38:48Line drive.
38:50And foul ball.
38:53Kittridge, a former All-Star.
38:55He features a slider, a sinker, a four-seamer, and occasionally works in a splitter.
39:01Just missed.
39:03Nasty backdoor slider.
39:05There's really nothing you can do with that if you swing at it.
39:07So, that's a good take by him.
39:12Swing and a ball popped in the air.
39:14That one gets down for a hit.
39:16So, the go-ahead run is on base with a knock.
39:20Up next for Tampa Bay, the first baseman, number eight, Jonathan O'Longa.
39:39Quick toss to first.
39:41Low throw, and it gets by.
39:51The one-on.
39:52Runner on the goal.
39:53Pitch misses inside.
39:55And that's a stolen base.
39:57Not even close.
39:59Down to go-ahead runs in scoring position.
40:01So, big opportunity for them to jump ahead late.
40:13Fly ball down the line.
40:17And it slices foul, but it had the distance.
40:28Foul towards right center.
40:30That's well struck.
40:31That one carrying.
40:33One hopper off the wall, and that should bring in the run.
40:37The run scores from second, and they take the lead in the seventh.
40:42Well, there you go.
40:42The RBI machine.
40:44Another clutch run scoring in back.
40:47Yeah, he's been so good in these situations.
40:50Call it clutch if you want, but his resume speaks for itself.
40:54Runner in scoring position.
40:56No outs.
40:57Junior Caminero next to hit for the Rays.
41:00Lifted in the air right center field.
41:03He's there.
41:04He's got it.
41:05Runner tags it second.
41:10The batter, number two.
41:12Designated hitter, Yannine.
41:24And that drops in for a strike.
41:27Don't be surprised to ball on the ground to the corners
41:29if they come home with the baseball instead of going to first base.
41:36Now, too short.
41:38Holiday throws the first in time.
41:47And now, here is Johnny DeLuca.
41:51One for three.
41:57This one in the air center field.
42:00Tavares on the move.
42:02And that's the third out.
42:05Rays get an RBI double.
42:07It's now a 4-3 ball game.
42:10It's an AL East matchup here on MLB.
42:15We're back in a new pitcher here to start the bottom of the seventh.
42:18Cole Solcer.
42:19Well, he's been a bit of a wild card out there in terms of throwing strikes.
42:24He's definitely struggled with free passes this year.
42:29What do you got?
42:30Check swing.
42:30Now he'll look down to first.
42:31No, he held up.
42:35Looking to get the tying run on base.
42:38Ball inside.
42:43On the ground to the left.
42:46Walls.
42:47Sends it to first.
42:48And the leadoff hitter sat down to open the seventh.
42:52It's such a great feeling when a team can rely on their shortstop to make a play like that.
42:56It builds up confidence for everyone on his team.
42:59It might even inspire a few more web gyms before the game is over.
43:02Alonso stands in now and watches strike one.
43:07Ball, that's low.
43:14Laser.
43:15Base hit.
43:19And the tying run is on base.
43:22Always feels amazing getting a job done when the team needs you to come through.
43:26It's just bigger than your own individual stats.
43:29That's about as textbook as it gets.
43:31Got his stride and load out of the way early.
43:33He stayed inside that ball and squared it up.
43:36Out.
43:36Runner takes off.
43:38Swing and a miss.
43:40Throw to second.
43:41Tag.
43:42Out at second.
43:44Two unsuccessful stolen base attempts tonight.
43:46So, I think this is where we probably see them change up their plan offensively.
43:51The running game just isn't working.
43:53And those are costly outs.
43:54So, they're going to have to string together some hits.
43:56That's a ball.
43:56And change things up a little bit.
43:59Chew down.
44:00Nobody on.
44:02Ripped on a line.
44:03And that's got extra bases written all over it.
44:06And that's going to roll to the wall.
44:09And now the tying run is in the scoring position.
44:13Having himself a really nice game at the plate.
44:16Now we'll see if they can pick up that tying run and start us over here in the late innings.
44:22Here's the Oriole cleanup hitter, Tyler O'Neal.
44:27Inside.
44:28Ball one.
44:34Swing and a miss as he was late that time.
44:40And the count one and two.
44:43The Orioles with the go-ahead run at the plate.
44:47Here at the bottom of the seventh.
44:48That's a really good take.
44:52That one just misses.
44:54And the count is filled up.
44:55He's just missing with some pitches that, I mean, those are, they're not strikes.
45:00And that's what you think, how good pitch is a strike.
45:02But so many times pitchers are.
45:04Gets him easily.
45:05Ends the inning.
45:06One left for the Orioles.
45:07Score holds.
45:09At fourth.
45:11Welcome back.
45:12And a new arm on the mound to start the eighth.
45:14Rico Garcia.
45:15And he's done a great job keeping the ball in the park this year.
45:19The numbers stack up with some of the best in the game.
45:21So next to the plate for Tampa Bay, Cedric Mullins.
45:25He launched a solo shot back in the second inning of this one.
45:28Yeah, that was big for these guys early on.
45:30Definitely helped them get off onto the right foot.
45:58Swing and a miss.
45:59And it's a link to.
46:18Fouls it back with two strikes.
46:27Way outside.
46:29Two and two.
46:39Can't connect on the curveball struck him out.
46:42Chris, as we look back at the pitch sequence, he hadn't seen that curveball at all.
46:47How tough is it to adjust to something like that with a bunch of break when you haven't had a
46:51look at it yet?
46:52Yeah, I mean, you're dialed up for something firm.
46:54You never want to take a called third strike as a fastball.
46:57So you're going to be a little anxious before you recognize the pitch.
47:00And right there, clearly didn't see what was coming.
47:03Foul ball.
47:08Here comes the 0-1.
47:12And that one fouled off.
47:21The 0-2.
47:25Chases the changeup in the dirt.
47:29Out on the drop.
47:30Third strike.
47:31Two gone.
47:32Very strong coming out of the pen so far as he punches out the first two batters he's faced in
47:37this one.
47:37Kitten straight to work.
47:39Man, it's talked about a lot, but relievers are just so electric these days.
47:43These aren't fun at bats if you're a hitter.
47:44I'm so glad I'm retired.
47:46Four-tenths, the next to hit, takes ball one.
47:55Out towards right center field.
47:58That gets down for a hit.
48:00And that keeps the inning alive.
48:05The batter, number six.
48:08Two-time, Taylor Wall.
48:16Foul ball there.
48:29That one lifted to left.
48:31Ward under it.
48:33And that is that.
48:37So one hit is all they get.
48:39Last half of the eighth coming up.
48:41It's the Rays 4 and the Orioles 3.
48:46Out to the bottom of the eighth.
48:48Here's the second baseman, Jeremiah Jackson.
48:51There's the strike.
48:52And I know you want to be patient as a hitter, but you've got to be ready to jump on
48:57the first thing straight.
48:58And he got one right there, but left the bat on his shoulder.
49:01And that's down, a base hit.
49:03And that puts the tying run on base.
49:06Not in time.
49:07That's a leadoff double.
49:19High fly ball down the left field line.
49:23But it bounces off his glove.
49:26And that's a foul ball.
49:32Ground ball, left side, down the line, and it's foul.
49:38So the tying run at second.
49:40Foul ball, it stays nothing and two.
49:43Definitely got the hitter conscious of the pitch inside.
49:46Really think the hour half is open.
49:48Swings and sends a rocket to right.
49:50Brings it in.
49:51Runner tags at second.
49:53Relay throw.
49:54Oh, he's safe at third, and the tying run is 90 feet away.
50:01Pitch hitter coming on.
50:03Gunner Henderson.
50:04He represents the go-ahead run.
50:08Henderson.
50:14Inside just missed.
50:20Swings through the sweeper.
50:26Right there for a strike.
50:29The Rays trying to hold a one-run lead.
50:32You're the bottom half of the eighth inning.
50:34That misses.
50:35And the count now even up.
50:38In the air left field, Simpson turns to the right on the move.
50:43Brings it in.
50:44Runner tags from third.
50:46To the plate.
50:47Safe.
50:47And we are tied.
50:49What a time to miss the putt off, though.
50:52If he puts that throw on the money, they've got a chance to get that runner home.
50:56Instead, a critical run score.
50:59That could swing this game.
51:00Tavares in the box here.
51:02Let's that one go for a ball.
51:04In the air, right field.
51:06DeLuca on his way over.
51:08And the inning is over.
51:12So they even it up here as we head for a good finish to this one.
51:16Ninth inning coming up.
51:34Back now.
51:35Here comes the closer here in the ninth.
51:45And one thing on him, he's been really good this season at keeping the ball on the ball.
51:50Not an easy guy to take deep.
51:51That's the ball.
52:01On the ground right side.
52:03And it goes just foul.
52:11Tied at four.
52:15Ripped to short.
52:16Snagged on a bounce.
52:18To first.
52:18They keep a big threat off the bases.
52:21Huge in a tie game like this.
52:24One out.
52:24Jonathan Arunda.
52:34Out towards left center.
52:35Ward gets under it.
52:38And there's two away.
52:43Up next for Tampa Bay.
52:44So next to the plate for Tampa Bay.
52:47Junior Caminero.
52:48Got to be careful with this guy.
52:50He's got power.
52:51He can untie it with one swing.
52:55Sliced hard, but fouled.
53:05Down.
53:05Nobody on.
53:06Here are the top of the ninth.
53:14And there's a rocket into the outfield.
53:17So a two-out knock keeps the inning alive and puts the go-ahead run on base.
53:22Everything came together for him.
53:24I could watch base hits like that one all day long.
53:26And so could every hitting coach in the league.
53:28Just a nice line drive into center field.
53:39Right there for a strike.
53:50And fouled off.
54:00Chase is in a dirt slider there.
54:03That completes the strikeout inning over.
54:09The race ran just the one.
54:11It's the ninth and we are tied.
54:17Now pitching for the way.
54:19Back now and on the mound.
54:20The closer, Ryan Baker.
54:22He's doing the ball very well over all this season.
54:25He's been really tough to get.
54:26You see that ERA and that's where you love to be.
54:31Alexander in the box as he fouls off the first pitch.
54:374-4 in the ninth.
54:40Swing and a pop-up.
54:42Vowl territory for the catcher.
54:45One up, one down.
54:49Up next to the Orioles.
54:51So digging in, Taylor Ward.
54:53He's already homered in this game.
54:57That one's in there.
54:58It's 0-1.
54:59Felling it back can be a little bit of a dance.
55:02Strike one here.
55:03But a few more pitches.
55:04We'll see how it turns out.
55:08Here's the 0-2.
55:20And it's fouled off.
55:22They'll do it again.
55:23He's gone off speed.
55:24He needs to elevate here with two strikes out of the zone.
55:28Fights that one away.
55:29And the count remains 0-2.
55:38Inside just missed.
55:45Swing and a line drive.
55:47That's a base hit into center field.
55:49And now the winning run is on base.
55:52A perfect example right there.
55:54That plate discipline, it pays off.
55:56The deeper he gets into account, the more comfortable he becomes.
56:00And he usually wins the battle.
56:04Fair ball.
56:06He boots it.
56:10Runner around third on his way to the plate.
56:13The winning run crosses the plate.
56:16And the Orioles walk it off 5-4.
56:25Well, it's always great when you've got pretty good speed over there at first base.
56:28Somebody that can score all the way around the bases.
56:31What a tremendous swing and execution by both the batter and the base runner for this walk-off win.
56:56Close one here today and your final 5-4.
57:00As the Orioles win this one for Chris Singleton and our entire outstanding crew here at MLB The Show.
57:06I'm John Chomby saying so long.
57:36Call me capable at last.
57:40I'm a wicked animal.
57:44After all the ends of your past.
57:48Call the car, call the shot.
57:52Call me everything you're not.
