00:01One thing Cal Quantra was great about is going out on the field and bringing an attitude.
00:06And he feels like this today is another day where he's going to have to go out and make some
00:10noise early
00:10so those bats can warm up and get going after yesterday's loss in the season opener.
00:15The 1-2, and that's hit in the air.
00:17Might be playable.
00:18Let's see, long run for Ramirez.
00:20With the shift on, he's got plenty of space.
00:23That makes the catch for out number one.
00:26Brandon Belt has reached via hit or walk.
00:2812 out of 24 plate appearances this year.
00:33Left field, Quant broke back and able to recover in time to make the catch on that sinking liner for
00:41out number two.
00:42Darren Ruff, who this weekend is playing in this ballpark for the first time in his career.
00:483-2.
00:49It's hitting here to left.
00:51Back goes Quant on to the warning track.
00:55And the Giants go 1-2-3.
00:58The 31-year-old Anthony Di Sclafani will be starting for San Francisco tonight, making his second start.
01:05Now, he's pitched well.
01:06He was with the Cincinnati Reds, and he's pitched well against the Indians in this ballpark.
01:10He's 2-0.
01:11Out of three starts with a 1-37 earned run average.
01:14So, he's no stranger to this ballpark, and he's going to go at the Indians like he always does.
01:19Very hard.
01:20The Giants nothing, and the Guardians coming up with Straw, Kwon, Jose Ramirez.
01:25Ground ball.
01:26It's a fair ball over the bag at third.
01:28Miles Straw on his way to second.
01:31He's going to hit the bag and burn for third.
01:35He is out at third.
01:38They are going to challenge it right off the get-go.
01:42Let's see.
01:42Does he tag him?
01:43I think the hand's in there first.
01:44Ah, maybe from that angle.
01:46That's a good shot, fellas.
01:47And I think this will get overturned.
01:50I think the crowd is in agreement with you.
01:53Well, after review, the call is overturned.
01:56The runner is safe.
01:57There you go.
01:57There you go.
01:58There.
01:58That's a...
01:59Now you can say that was flat-out good hustle by Straw because he got there.
02:03Well, this team leads the league in triples.
02:05Yeah.
02:06That's their sixth one, no doubt.
02:08Leads the majors.
02:09Fourteen runs knocked in already for Jose Ramirez.
02:12He's looking for a fly ball.
02:14He got a fly ball plenty deep enough, and the Guardians take a 1-0 lead on the 15th run
02:21batted in by Jose Ramirez.
02:24Yeah, if you watch Jose and that at-bat, he didn't even stride.
02:29He was just going to use his hands to get the ball in the air, and he ended up hitting
02:33a line drive.
02:34It's a change-up.
02:35Now watch that front foot.
02:36He didn't stride.
02:37Didn't pick up the foot.
02:39He just put a good swing on it.
02:41There you look from the side, right on the toe, and get the hands through the hitting area.
02:45Very simple.
02:47And then the Guardians will take a 1-0 lead.
02:49Brandon Belt with the bases loaded.
02:512-1 the count.
02:52The pitch on the way.
02:53Swing and a ground ball up the middle.
02:55Base head into center field.
02:57Estrada comes in to score.
02:59Duggar around third.
03:00He scores, and Jastrzemski goes to third.
03:03Brandon Belt comes through in the clutch for the Giants.
03:06A bases loaded, two-out single.
03:08And the Giants have gone ahead 2-1.
03:11And we go back to the top of the order in Miles Straw.
03:152-0 and a high fly ball left field.
03:17Jock Peterson is looking up, and it is off the wall.
03:22Oh, Straw was in his home run, Trot, I think.
03:26And he just kind of eases his way into second.
03:29The game is tied 2-2.
03:31Or maybe he thought it was going to be caught.
03:33Straw barreled it, just hit it real high in the air.
03:36And you always look at the outfielder after you hit it just to see his reaction.
03:39And you see he's jogging around first base.
03:42He thought he hit it out of the park.
03:44I don't know if he gets three there, but needless to say, he thought it was gone.
03:50So, it's going to be the right-handed hitter, Ernie Clement.
03:53Now the 1-0.
03:55Ernie Clement will have smashed his short, but Crawford able to cut it off.
04:00And force about a second to retire the side.
04:03Six complete.
04:04Deadlock to two.
04:05Now Wilmer stands in.
04:07Bases loaded, one out.
04:09Here's the 0-1 pitch.
04:10It is lined on one hop.
04:13Backhanded at second.
04:14They get the out at second.
04:16Flores to first, the throw is late, Wilmer's kind of limping, the run comes in to score.
04:21The Giants go ahead.
04:22So, here is Tyrell Estrada, the Giants get a chance to get more runs.
04:27The inning is still going.
04:28Luke Williams, the pitch runner, there's a wild pitch.
04:31And in to score from third base is Austin Slater.
04:35Way off the outside, La Vestina could not get the handle on it.
04:41It hit off the glove and to the backstop.
04:43So, scoring the fourth Giants run is Slater.
04:47Well, that mistake by the Guardians ends up leading to another run.
04:51And the wild pitch variety.
04:54Bottom of the night, then.
04:56The seventh pitcher of the night for San Francisco is left-hander Jake McGee.
05:01He tries to close this one out.
05:04Fastball slider from the left side.
05:082-1 pitch and a line drive base hit.
05:12There you go.
05:14He heard us.
05:15Tying run to the plate.
05:16And it's Owen Miller, who singled in the second, doubled and scored in the fifth.
05:20He walked in the sixth inning.
05:22And there it is.
05:24The tying run is aboard.
05:25The winning run is at the plate.
05:27And there's nobody out.
05:30Ernie Clement, who pitched it for Andres Jimenez.
05:34Here is the payoff pitch.
05:37Ground ball.
05:39Crawford.
05:40They get one.
05:41And Clement beats it out.
05:45Guardians at the corners.
05:47And so far this year, Mercado has five hits.
05:50He's got power.
05:522-2.
05:53It's strike three called.
05:54Fastball got him on the inside.
05:56Two down.
05:58Guardians are down to their final out.
06:00Giants one out away from the victory.
06:04First pitch swing and a comebacker right to McGee.
06:06He's got it.
06:07He'll flip to first for the out.
06:09And Jake McGee, nicely done.
06:12It wasn't easy.
