00:00:30It's the Tampa Bay Rays and the Detroit Tigers.
00:00:34First pitch coming at you right after the break.
00:00:41Getting the nod on the mound, Jack Flaherty.
00:00:45Chris, how about a scouting report?
00:00:47Boog, eight solid innings his last time out.
00:00:49Picked up the win.
00:00:50See what he's got today.
00:00:51If he plays catch with his catcher the way he did, doesn't shake off.
00:00:54I think we'll see more of the same.
00:00:55About to get started here.
00:00:57Chandler Simpson now at the plate.
00:01:02And we're underway in Detroit.
00:01:14Right through there for a strike.
00:01:16One way to make a guy real uncomfortable at the plate is pound him inside with good velocity.
00:01:21They're doing that right here.
00:01:26Swing and a miss.
00:01:28One and two.
00:01:39That's a little bit low.
00:01:41Looked like a strike to me.
00:01:42And here comes the challenge.
00:01:46It just shaved the zone.
00:01:49So they've still got both their challenges.
00:01:53Batting second, third baseman, number one.
00:02:03Ball, that's out.
00:02:12Ball, just under way here in Detroit.
00:02:25McKinstry throws the first in time.
00:02:28What a play.
00:02:28Batting third, the designated hitter, Jonathan Aranda.
00:02:39Two outs, bases empty.
00:02:41And stepping in for the raise, Jonathan Aranda.
00:02:58All one.
00:03:00All one.
00:03:23Ball.
00:03:24Ball.
00:03:25Ball.
00:03:33Brown ball to the right side.
00:03:35And that one finds its way through.
00:03:37So a two out knock keeps the inning alive.
00:03:42Batting fourth.
00:03:43He kind of rolled over on this pitch a little bit.
00:03:45But he got enough behind it to shoot it through for a knock.
00:03:48And you'll take that any time you can get him to find a hole.
00:04:03The 0-1.
00:04:06High fly ball right field.
00:04:08Jones has a bead on it.
00:04:10And that'll do it.
00:04:13The Tigers coming up.
00:04:15No score.
00:04:16Major League Baseball is on the show.
00:04:23Ready to go for the last half of the inning.
00:04:26And on the mound for Tampa Bay in this one.
00:04:29Shane McClanahan.
00:04:30Tell us about him in that sub-3 ERA, Siggy.
00:04:33Glaber Torres.
00:04:34Up now for the Tigers.
00:04:36Number 25, Glaber Torres.
00:04:40Yeah, a foul ball.
00:04:41Chris, he leads the way with the best batting average on the team.
00:04:50Nice grab.
00:04:51Fires to first.
00:04:52And they get the out.
00:04:57Let's take a check of the Tigers lineup.
00:04:59Not the highest team batting average for this squad.
00:05:02They're down towards the bottom of the league in total hits.
00:05:04And Siggy, because of that, they don't score a ton.
00:05:07Yeah.
00:05:07And Boog, I'm looking for a little better performance out of them today.
00:05:11I mean, if they're going to be dangerous, if they're going to be able to create scoring opportunities,
00:05:15they're going to have to start making some individual adjustments.
00:05:18A lot of players in this lineup probably aren't happy with how they've hit the ball so far.
00:05:22So today's a chance to get something going.
00:05:25Just missed.
00:05:40That one fouled off.
00:05:41Two and two.
00:05:48On the ground to the left.
00:05:49Oh, that's a foul ball.
00:05:50And it goes just foul.
00:05:56Two-two now.
00:05:59To the right side.
00:06:02Diaz takes it to the bag.
00:06:04And two quick outs in the bottom of the first here tonight.
00:06:07They did hitter, Kerry Carpenter.
00:06:11Two down bases empty.
00:06:13Kerry Carpenter will hit next.
00:06:15He's been tearing it up at the plate recently, working on a five-game hitting streak.
00:06:28Swing and a miss as he was late.
00:06:30He's looking pretty sharp to start the ball game.
00:06:32He's got that good fastball working early.
00:06:37Fights that one away.
00:06:38And the count remains 0-2.
00:06:45Two down.
00:06:46Nobody on.
00:06:48Fouled off.
00:06:49And they'll do it again.
00:06:55Here's the 0-2.
00:06:59On the ground right side.
00:07:01And that's just foul.
00:07:12Battling here as he fouls it away.
00:07:22See if he can go upstairs a little bit.
00:07:24Make sure you miss up and out of the zone since you're heading to count one-two.
00:07:28Don't miss in the zone because that's where you get hurt.
00:07:30Oh, look at the stop.
00:07:32Throw to first.
00:07:33And that's a nice play to end the inning.
00:07:37Scoreless after one.
00:07:44On now to the top half of inning number two.
00:07:47And stepping in for the Rays, Gavin Lux.
00:07:56All one.
00:08:17The 1-1.
00:08:21And that drops in for a strike.
00:08:32Chases the fastball up the ladder.
00:08:34Struck him out.
00:08:35That's tough.
00:08:36You see it well.
00:08:37I mean, that was clearly up and out of the strike zone.
00:08:39But that's one of the hardest things.
00:08:41That when you see a pitch out of the hand at eye level, that discipline to remember,
00:08:47I can't hit that pitch.
00:08:48If I can see it really well at eye level, I can't catch up to that pitch when a pitcher's
00:08:52got this kind of velocity.
00:08:55That misses.
00:08:56Ball one.
00:08:58Mullins launched a homer in his most recent game.
00:09:06Missed to center field.
00:09:09And there's two down.
00:09:15That in seventh, second baseman, Hesung Kim.
00:09:19Hesung Kim.
00:09:20Next to hit for the Rays.
00:09:21Not getting the results he's wanted at the plate recently.
00:09:24Only two hits over the last five games.
00:09:30Misses just off the outside edge.
00:09:32I think that was a strike.
00:09:33But evidently, not too impressed with that call.
00:09:36And it feels like he got squeezed on the outside corner.
00:09:39So, he's making his case.
00:09:41You've got to be careful to pick your spots in terms of showing your frustration with the
00:09:44umpire.
00:09:45And he felt this was his time.
00:09:48Two down.
00:09:49Dolby de Yon.
00:09:52This to third.
00:09:55The throw to first.
00:09:57And that is the inning.
00:09:59We'll go to the bottom in the second.
00:10:00No score.
00:10:03Yeah, I don't know what you've become.
00:10:07Back at Comerica Park.
00:10:09Bottom half of inning number two.
00:10:11Colt Keith up now for the Tigers.
00:10:19Ball.
00:10:27On the ground.
00:10:30Diaz takes it himself.
00:10:31Lead-off man retired here in the second.
00:10:34Batting fifth.
00:10:35The shortstop.
00:10:38Zach McKinstry.
00:10:47That's a ball.
00:10:55Just missed.
00:10:57Oh, that's down.
00:11:04And another ball.
00:11:07Second inning here.
00:11:08No score.
00:11:11And a four-pitch walk.
00:11:13Ball, four pitches down.
00:11:13Maybe a little loss of focus on the mound right there.
00:11:15Pretty much gifted in first base with a quick free pass.
00:11:19One down.
00:11:20And next to hit for Detroit, Matt Vierling.
00:11:30Ball one.
00:11:31In the dirt.
00:11:45Swing and a ball lined out towards center.
00:11:48Two way down.
00:11:50High throw to first.
00:11:51And he can't reach it.
00:11:58First baseman, number 56.
00:12:09In the air to left center, Simpson moving under it.
00:12:14And he makes the catch.
00:12:16And that's the third out.
00:12:18We play two full.
00:12:19No score.
00:12:26Well, here we go.
00:12:27Top of the third scoreless game.
00:12:30Nick Fortez.
00:12:31Fortez getting the starting catcher in the eighth spot in today's lineup.
00:12:36And his slugging percentage so far this year, right around 450.
00:12:39That's a ball.
00:12:40Nick Fortez.
00:12:41The leadoff batter as he looks at ball one.
00:12:48We call that key holy.
00:12:50Even though it's right there and looks pretty good, if he doesn't love it, he's not going to swing that
00:12:55early in the count.
00:13:00Out towards right center field.
00:13:02Vierling on the move to the alley.
00:13:04He's got it.
00:13:05One down.
00:13:09Saturday night shortstop, Taylor Walls.
00:13:23And that misses.
00:13:25And that is ball one.
00:13:32That one lifted to left.
00:13:34Green under it.
00:13:36Two down.
00:13:40Up next for Tampa Bay.
00:13:42Left fielder, Chandler Simpson.
00:13:45So the Rays batting order turns over.
00:13:48Chandler Simpson digs in now.
00:13:50Maybe expecting a punt here.
00:13:52Third baseman playing in on the edge of the grass.
00:13:57Not sure if he was expecting for the pitcher to come right at him, but he got a nice cookie
00:14:01there and just watched it the entire way.
00:14:09Slice the other way.
00:14:10That's a base hit.
00:14:12And that extends the inning.
00:14:36Rudder takes off.
00:14:38There's a ball.
00:14:40Throws save.
00:14:42That's a stolen base.
00:14:43And that extends his lead for the most stolen bases in baseball.
00:14:48Well, it really doesn't matter what the situation is.
00:14:50When a guy like this gets on first, you know he's going to steal second at some point during the
00:14:56at-bat.
00:14:56Nice job to get in the scoring position.
00:14:58The defense probably knew it was coming, but they just couldn't do anything to stop it.
00:15:02That one misses at a count, two and one.
00:15:13Next pitch is outside.
00:15:15Jonathan Arunda in the on-deck circle, hoping to get a chance to make a big impact here.
00:15:24In the air, left field.
00:15:27Green on the run.
00:15:28Makes a nice grab and a full sprint.
00:15:31And that'll do it.
00:15:32One hit, one left.
00:15:34We move on to the bottom of inning number three.
00:15:37We're tied.
00:15:38Nothing, nothing.
00:15:40Back here in Detroit.
00:15:42Now here's the Detroit catcher, Jake Rogers.
00:15:46Jake Rogers.
00:15:52And a face hit right there.
00:15:54So a man on base to start the inning.
00:15:58I'm sure he feels really good about that one.
00:16:01Got a fastball, middle of the plate, jumped all over it.
00:16:03Absolutely smoked that ball.
00:16:13And that's in for a strike.
00:16:15Going to warm.
00:16:21Hard ground ball for base down.
00:16:25Throw back in quickly.
00:16:27First and second now with nobody out.
00:16:29Just a nice job coming through in a pretty high leverage spot right there.
00:16:34Runner in scoring position now and a good opportunity to push across the first run of the ball game.
00:16:38Here comes Glaber-Torres.
00:16:40He's all for one.
00:16:44Breaking ball through there for a strike.
00:16:48Still tied at zero.
00:16:50Last to the third.
00:16:51Back up the...
00:16:52Oh, that got him!
00:16:55No chance for a play.
00:16:56And let's hope the left-hander's not hurt out there.
00:16:59And now they'll hustle out to check on him.
00:17:02That was quite a shot he took as you see him down on a knee.
00:17:06Yeah, clearly in some real pain.
00:17:07But he will not want to come out of this game if he doesn't have to.
00:17:11It's looking to me like he's going to try to shake it off and continue.
00:17:18That clips the zone.
00:17:19That's strike one.
00:17:22The Tigers with a chance to score first here in the last half of the third.
00:17:28Swing and a pop-up.
00:17:29Tim, under it.
00:17:32One away.
00:17:42And here is Terry Carpenter.
00:17:45Golden opportunity right here.
00:17:49Files away the first offering.
00:17:54The last thing he wants is to hit the ball on the ground.
00:17:56But I wouldn't expect many pitches up in the zone.
00:17:59They'll be pitching for a double play in this spot.
00:18:04All loaded up.
00:18:05Dangerous hitter at the plate.
00:18:07Gets a piece and it stays 0-2.
00:18:15And that's the swing.
00:18:17It's a strikeout.
00:18:19Well, big power guy right there and generating so much bat speed.
00:18:22It's hard to bring that to a halt once you've committed.
00:18:26They try to check the swing.
00:18:27Just couldn't do it.
00:18:30That's it for a strike.
00:18:32If I'm at the dish right now, I am aggressive over the heart of the plate.
00:18:36This guy's been filling up the strike zone.
00:18:38So, Diaz.
00:18:40He takes it himself to the bag and that'll do it.
00:18:44On to the fourth.
00:18:45Still scoreless.
00:18:52Welcome back as we take a check of the current standings.
00:19:06Well, these Rays just haven't produced as many competitive at-bats as I'd like to see in this one.
00:19:11They're swinging early, being aggressive.
00:19:13But one or two pitches later, the at-bat is over.
00:19:16That's not going to cut it if it's not resulting in hits.
00:19:19So, they might want to be a little more selective up there.
00:19:21And it falls.
00:19:24And a man aboard.
00:19:25Didn't exactly square that one up, but sometimes you don't have to.
00:19:29Pitch was away, so he definitely pulled off it there.
00:19:32Not what you want to do with the pitch in that location, really.
00:19:35But he was able to guide it into the outfield for the knock.
00:19:43Ball one.
00:19:54Fly ball down the line.
00:19:56And that lands at no man's land.
00:19:58A foul ball.
00:20:00Go ahead, run at first.
00:20:02Nobody out.
00:20:03Top half of inning number four.
00:20:07Fastball for a strike.
00:20:09Really going after him here.
00:20:10All fastballs to get ahead in the count.
00:20:16This one in the air right field.
00:20:19And it's a foul ball.
00:20:43Got him looking.
00:20:45That's a strikeout.
00:20:51Here's Gavin Lux to him.
00:20:53Went down on strikes his first time through.
00:21:02Arunda at first.
00:21:04One gone.
00:21:08Jack's swing and he went.
00:21:10Strike one.
00:21:21That one is absolutely belted.
00:21:26And it one-hops the wall.
00:21:29Rounds third.
00:21:30Headed for the plate.
00:21:31He will score and they take the lead.
00:21:35Well, a swing like that can help you come out of the struggle.
00:21:38We saw the numbers coming into the ball game.
00:21:40But all he's trying to do at this point is help his team win.
00:21:55Ball one.
00:22:00One out and a runner at second.
00:22:08Ground ball up the middle.
00:22:10Torres throws to first.
00:22:12That's out number two.
00:22:13First of all, that's just a nice job to even get to that ball.
00:22:17And then even more impressive was the throw.
00:22:19Off balance.
00:22:20Had to try to, in the air, get his shoulders turned and make a strong throw.
00:22:25Does show off the strength of the arm.
00:22:26We're usually used to seeing that kind of arm strength from the shortstop.
00:22:29And the box lays off for ball one.
00:22:32Two outs with a runner at third.
00:22:39A swing and a miss.
00:22:40And that's strike one.
00:22:52That's ball two.
00:23:03That's a base hit.
00:23:04Run scores.
00:23:09Picks himself up at RBI.
00:23:10And now they've got some speed on first.
00:23:12So we'll see if they try to get him into motion.
00:23:26Runner on the goal.
00:23:28Strike in there.
00:23:29Throw is high and over his head.
00:23:34And they won't get him.
00:23:35And he goes first to third on the air.
00:23:38I think a good throw to second base has a chance to catch him right there.
00:23:42So that's a throw he's going to want back behind the dish.
00:23:45And you roll the dice when you send the runner.
00:23:48But oftentimes you're trying to force some action.
00:23:50And it worked out great for him right there.
00:23:56Out of line.
00:23:57Out towards center.
00:23:59And that is that.
00:24:02But two runs for him and they jump ahead.
00:24:05And midway in the fourth.
00:24:06It's the Rays two and the Tigers nothing.
00:24:10You're watching Tampa Bay Rays baseball on the show.
00:24:14Back at Comerica Park.
00:24:16Bottom of the fourth.
00:24:17Zach McKinstry.
00:24:18Up now for the Tigers.
00:24:19Zach McKinstry.
00:24:24And it's fouled off.
00:24:27Well these Tigers just haven't produced as many competitive at-bats as I'd like to see in this one.
00:24:32They're swinging early, being aggressive.
00:24:34But one or two pitches later the at-bat is over.
00:24:37That's not going to cut it if it's not resulting in hits.
00:24:40So they might want to be a little more selective up there.
00:24:43And that'll bring the tying run to the plate.
00:24:45He was all over that one.
00:24:47Got the top of the ball a little bit but not much.
00:24:50That was hit pretty hard there in the infield.
00:24:52So I think he'll be happy with that swing.
00:24:54Definitely generated some good bat speed.
00:25:00And that is out of play.
00:25:050-1 now.
00:25:08Drilled out towards left center field.
00:25:10That's well struck.
00:25:10Way back there.
00:25:11It's got a chance.
00:25:12And it hits the base of the wall.
00:25:15Runner around third.
00:25:16And now they trail by one.
00:25:20Well, back within one as he brings home the run.
00:25:23Just a cookie down the middle.
00:25:25I mean, those are the ones you dream about.
00:25:27The ones in the cage you're just hoping you get in the ball game.
00:25:29Right down the middle.
00:25:30Not a whole lot of velocity.
00:25:31Right on top of it.
00:25:33Runner in scoring position.
00:25:35No outs.
00:25:36Gauge worth it.
00:25:37Getting ready to hit.
00:25:38Well, the offense has gotten going.
00:25:40And a pitcher wants to go out there.
00:25:41Have a real quick inning.
00:25:42Get those guys back.
00:25:43This one's into the outfield.
00:25:45Could be extra bases.
00:25:47Around from second is the tying run.
00:25:49Safe at second with nobody out.
00:25:51And that double has the go-ahead run and scoring position.
00:25:55Well, we're starting over again.
00:25:56All tied up.
00:25:57Showed a willingness to drive that pitch the opposite way.
00:26:00Didn't get jumpy.
00:26:01Didn't try to pull the ball.
00:26:02He let it get deep.
00:26:04Took the barrel right to it.
00:26:05And then extended through the swing for the line drive base hit.
00:26:12On the ground out to short.
00:26:15Got him on the off-balance throw.
00:26:18Finally gets the first out here on the grounder.
00:26:21Right fielder, Jemai Jones.
00:26:24Here's Jemai Jones.
00:26:30And there's a breaking ball that drops in there.
00:26:36Right back to him on the mound.
00:26:40On to first.
00:26:41Play is made.
00:26:42Two out.
00:26:44Up next for the Tigers.
00:26:47Second baseman.
00:26:49Flavor Torres.
00:26:54Left field.
00:26:56And a foul ball.
00:27:03Here comes the 0-1.
00:27:06Hard hit.
00:27:07Right side.
00:27:08There with plenty of time.
00:27:10And that ends the inning.
00:27:12They get two runs on three hits.
00:27:14No errors.
00:27:14And one left.
00:27:15On to the top of the fifth.
00:27:17We go.
00:27:17We are tied.
00:27:19Back here at the ballpark.
00:27:21Let's check out the latest news from around the league.
00:27:23Taylor Ball.
00:27:33Misses just off the outside edge.
00:27:36I think that was a strike.
00:27:37I thought that was a strike.
00:27:38And here's a challenge.
00:27:40It just shaved the zone.
00:27:43Still two challenges left for them.
00:27:53Swings and misses at the pitch off the plate.
00:28:02Ball one there.
00:28:04Really good take.
00:28:05Especially with two strikes.
00:28:12Popped up.
00:28:14Torres.
00:28:17And there's one away.
00:28:19Good hard fastball up at the zone right there.
00:28:21And they look really good coming in.
00:28:23But it's so hard to get on top of as a hitter.
00:28:39He's currently the team leader in stolen bases.
00:28:49Drilled in the air out towards right center.
00:28:51Vierland.
00:28:52On the move.
00:28:53He's got it.
00:28:54Two away.
00:28:59And here's a look at how he's using his pitches in this one.
00:29:03Number one.
00:29:08Richie Palacios next to hit for the Rays.
00:29:17Up the middle.
00:29:19Base hit.
00:29:21Joey gets on base and keeps it going.
00:29:23I don't think that pitch would have been called a strike.
00:29:25But he did such a nice job of pulling his hands tight to the body.
00:29:29And just getting enough of the barrel on it to be hard enough back up the middle for a knock.
00:29:39Hey.
00:29:52This one smoked on its way out of here.
00:30:00A two-run homer.
00:30:02Home run number 20 on the year.
00:30:05And the Rays take the lead.
00:30:07It's 4-2.
00:30:09The one thing the pitcher didn't want to happen just happened.
00:30:13That's not an easy one to stumble.
00:30:15With a low 90s fastball, you have to live on the edges and hit your spots.
00:30:19If you don't, you'll get hit hard.
00:30:22Really good swing there.
00:30:23Patient.
00:30:24Waited for it.
00:30:25It was like BP all over again.
00:30:26Here's AJ Hinch heading towards the mound.
00:30:29And we're going to see a pitching change right here.
00:30:31Jack Flaherty won't go any further tonight.
00:30:34And it's going to be a start that he'd like to get a redo on.
00:30:37Not his best.
00:30:39Back with a new arm in a minute.
00:30:45Reese Olsen gets the ball now.
00:30:47Just trying to keep this one close here.
00:30:49And this is where a bullpen can give their players a chance to fight back into the game.
00:30:58So two down, and next will be the cleanup hitter, Yandy Diaz.
00:31:04Right through there for a strike.
00:31:07Diaz with some impressive production lately.
00:31:13And that's in there at the knees for a strike.
00:31:22Strike him out looking.
00:31:27The Rays with a two-run homer.
00:31:29It's now 4-2.
00:31:38Back here in Detroit, we head to the bottom of the fifth.
00:31:41Riley Green up now for the Tigers.
00:31:45That missed by a lot.
00:31:47And that's ball one.
00:31:48Well, these Tigers doing a good job of simply getting the bat on the ball in this game.
00:31:53And the numbers back that up.
00:31:54One thing that really stands out to me is how they've only struck out one time.
00:31:58That's good discipline right there.
00:32:00And on top of it, they're producing more than a hit per inning.
00:32:04Carrie Carpenter.
00:32:13In the air, right field.
00:32:15Lux on his way over.
00:32:17And there's two down.
00:32:19All those numbers mean this offense is really making the defense work by just putting the ball into play.
00:32:26Anything can happen at that point.
00:32:28And now...
00:32:45Foul ball there.
00:33:00Two down, nobody on.
00:33:01Last half of inning, number five.
00:33:05On the ground right side.
00:33:08He takes it himself to the bag, and that'll do it.
00:33:12Tigers are shut down there.
00:33:14They trail it here.
00:33:154-2.
00:33:21Back here in a close one.
00:33:22And a look now at some of the biggest plays from the game.
00:33:29Keep your cool, won't be no fire.
00:33:31I'm fresh like water.
00:33:32No daughter.
00:33:33Bite to the job, but I ain't gonna lie.
00:33:35On my lap like evil genius.
00:33:37Jump out to change, it's demon time.
00:33:39I'm gonna get it laid back like evil steven.
00:33:41Don't need a reason to be on down.
00:33:43Stand on B-U-S-I-N-E-S-S.
00:33:45Yes, I'm blessed like him.
00:33:47And the devil.
00:33:48Don't miss sex with some day.
00:33:49I'm not like him.
00:33:50Let me state my case.
00:33:51Sprint out the race.
00:33:52No chase.
00:33:53I pace.
00:33:53Just came out the bait, and he's still going hatin'.
00:33:56Next to hit, Gavin Lux.
00:33:57Tampa Bay, right fielder, Gavin Lux.
00:34:19No.
00:34:20Tigers bullpen with some action.
00:34:22Tyler Holton, the left-handed reliever, appears to be getting loose.
00:34:26Finnegan, the right-hander.
00:34:27Loosening up as well.
00:34:34Olsen.
00:34:35In his third season, he features a sinker, a change-up, a slider, a four-seamer,
00:34:41and he occasionally uses a curve.
00:34:45On the ground, right side.
00:34:48Torres over to first.
00:34:50Lead-off man retired in the sixth.
00:34:53Up next for Tampa Bay, center fielder, Cedric Mullins.
00:35:06And that's in there for strike one.
00:35:08Well, don't expect too many more high fastballs.
00:35:10It's a good sinker ball pitcher, and sometimes they can make mistakes trying to pitch up in the zone.
00:35:15Look for him to stay down around the knees to be effective.
00:35:18This one ripped, but foul to the right.
00:35:30And that one is popped in the air.
00:35:33Shallow center.
00:35:34Out.
00:35:34Number two.
00:35:36Up next for Tampa Bay, second baseman, Hesung Kim.
00:35:43So, next to the plate for Tampa Bay, Hesung Kim.
00:35:50Aye!
00:36:03Down, nobody on.
00:36:04And we're at the top half of the sixth.
00:36:10Spence the plate.
00:36:11That is strike two.
00:36:22In the air, left field.
00:36:25And that is that.
00:36:27Nothing doing for Tampa, but they still lead this one 4-2.
00:36:37Now pitching for Tampa Bay.
00:36:38Back down for the bottom of the sixth, and there's a new pitcher on the mound.
00:36:41Cole Solser.
00:36:42He's pitching on two days rest.
00:36:46Leading off for the Tigers.
00:36:49The shortstop, Zach McKinstry.
00:36:53Rips one to right.
00:36:55Then there's one down.
00:36:59Up next for the Tigers.
00:37:02Center fielder, Matt Feerling.
00:37:10Got it started a little too early.
00:37:12Strike one.
00:37:13So important to get ahead of these hitters.
00:37:15You don't want to issue a free pass and allow that tying run to come to the plate.
00:37:19Always want to keep that other team in a position where if they're going to beat you, they're going to
00:37:22have to do it with multiple hits.
00:37:32Got him swinging.
00:37:34Got him swinging.
00:37:34Finished him off by blowing it by him up high, but they did a really nice job of setting that
00:37:39pitch up.
00:37:39The plan of attack early on was to keep everything down around the knee, so that was a good call
00:37:44to change his eye level and run it by him for the K.
00:37:46Gage Workman now at the plate.
00:37:51Workman with his previous franchise after getting returned as a Rule 5 draftee.
00:38:01This guy's not wasting any pitches.
00:38:03Hitters got to get into swing mode.
00:38:05This is a good time to expand the zone.
00:38:07Throw something maybe down in the dirt.
00:38:08And he couldn't hold back.
00:38:10He's rung up on strikes.
00:38:12Three up, three down for Detroit.
00:38:14Still down by a count of four to two.
00:38:17Get it right.
00:38:18Get it right.
00:38:20Welcome back as we take a look at their upcoming schedule.
00:38:47And he grounds one to the right side.
00:38:50Takes it himself.
00:38:51That's the first out, the top of the seventh.
00:38:54Up next for Tampa Bay shortstop, Taylor Walls.
00:39:06Right through there for his strike.
00:39:08Looks like he sacrificed a pitch right down the middle for tracking and timing.
00:39:13Some good hitters will do that.
00:39:17That's in there.
00:39:19That strike two.
00:39:20That slider breaking in can be a tricky pitch.
00:39:22If you don't finish it and have that bite at the end and it stays out over the plate,
00:39:26it can get hit a long way.
00:39:28But that was a good one right there.
00:39:30Here's a high chopper.
00:39:31Workman flips it.
00:39:33And very nicely done for the out.
00:39:35Up next for Tampa Bay, left fielder Chandler.
00:39:39Here's A.J. Hinch heading towards the mound.
00:39:41And we're going to see a pitching change right here.
00:39:43Reese Olsen will depart.
00:39:45Two-run ball game as he heads for the dugout.
00:39:47And we'll be back with a new pitcher.
00:39:56Now pitching for the Tigers.
00:39:57New pitcher for the Tigers.
00:39:59Tyler Holton.
00:40:00Pretty tight game.
00:40:01So they're looking for quality pitches out of him right here.
00:40:04Got to do his best to keep the score right where it is.
00:40:06Back to the top of the order now.
00:40:09Here's the Rays leadoff hitter.
00:40:11Chandler Simpson.
00:40:12One for three.
00:40:27Right through there for a strike.
00:40:37Here's a swing and a little roller up low first.
00:40:40And foul ball.
00:40:49Two down.
00:40:50Nobody on.
00:40:52In the air to left center.
00:40:54Green under it.
00:40:56And that is that.
00:40:59Offense held a check there.
00:41:01Seventh inning stretch time.
00:41:03It's the Rays four.
00:41:04Tigers two.
00:41:05This is Rays baseball.
00:41:08Back at Comerica Park.
00:41:10Bottom of the seventh.
00:41:11Jake Rogers.
00:41:13Up now for the Tigers.
00:41:15Jake Rogers.
00:41:16That one fouled off.
00:41:20And the old one.
00:41:23Whacked out to center field.
00:41:24That's well struck.
00:41:25That one carrying.
00:41:28It's out.
00:41:29A weird touch is down in the front row of the Bush's home run.
00:41:33He flexes his power with that swing.
00:41:36His ninth homer of the year.
00:41:38And just like that they're within a run.
00:41:41Here comes the crowd.
00:41:42They're feeling it right now.
00:41:55That cutter low and away can be a really tough pitch.
00:41:59You have to stay within your mechanics and trust that you can get good wood to it.
00:42:03Well, he did right there.
00:42:05Really nice swing.
00:42:06And he was rewarded for it.
00:42:15Ripped on the ground a second.
00:42:17And one away in the bottom of the seventh.
00:42:20That play won't be trending on social media later on.
00:42:22But it's still important to execute it to perfection.
00:42:25This game is a lot harder than it looks, partner.
00:42:28Here's Glaber Torres.
00:42:33And that's in there at the knees for a strike.
00:42:39This one in the air.
00:42:41Diaz.
00:42:44And there are two down.
00:42:48Up next for the Tigers.
00:42:51Left fielder.
00:42:52Riley.
00:42:54Green.
00:42:57Late swing.
00:42:58Foul to the left.
00:43:07Looking to get the tying run on base.
00:43:10Ground ball at the middle.
00:43:11That's a base hit.
00:43:13And the tying run is on base.
00:43:18Everything came together for him.
00:43:20I know it was a ground ball, but it was absolutely hammered through the infield.
00:43:23That's not what you're excited to get in front of if you're an infielder.
00:43:26You know they used to say, charge it.
00:43:29Crazy.
00:43:32Carpenter at the plate now.
00:43:33And that's strike one.
00:43:40Next off, right in there for a strike.
00:43:43No balls, two strikes.
00:43:47Fights it off.
00:43:48He'll see another.
00:43:53Field two.
00:43:55Foul ball left side.
00:43:56He'll see another.
00:44:01The Rays holding on to a one-run lead.
00:44:04Here at the bottom of the seventh.
00:44:06Swing and a miss.
00:44:07Stuck him out.
00:44:08Pulled the string on the changeup.
00:44:11Solo shot for Detroit this inning.
00:44:13We look ahead to inning number eight.
00:44:15You're watching Tampa Bay Rays baseball on the show, Florida.
00:44:20All I know is going to be right.
00:44:24Welcome back.
00:44:25And a new arm on the mound to start D8.
00:44:27Brant Perter.
00:44:28And as relievers go, he's not a big strikeout guy.
00:44:31Tries to force weak contact, so.
00:44:43Manned and execution are huge for him.
00:44:50That one's in there.
00:44:52Strike one.
00:44:53Activity in the bullpen.
00:44:55Kenley Jansen.
00:44:56The hard-throwing righty is up and loosening.
00:45:02A one down.
00:45:05And he swings over the top there.
00:45:07This guy's sink has so much dropping, it's almost like a split-finger fastball.
00:45:12Instead of just weak contact and balls on the ground, he gets swings and misses.
00:45:16And the 0-2.
00:45:20Ball.
00:45:30Bounced up the middle.
00:45:33Tosses to first.
00:45:34Tosses to first.
00:45:35Lead-off man is out here in the eighth.
00:45:38Up next for Tampa Bay, the designated hitter, Jonathan Arunda.
00:45:42And now, Jonathan Arunda can't forget the two-run shot he launched out of here in the fifth.
00:45:47Yeah, one of the biggest swings of the game, Boog, as he looks to make even more of an impact
00:45:51in this at bat right here.
00:46:06Boog, that's out.
00:46:16When you get ahead in the count, there's no doubt that the success rate goes up.
00:46:20And that's what he's been doing.
00:46:21It's made a big impact for him in recent games.
00:46:28Now, one missed.
00:46:30You get to this part of the order.
00:46:32Yeah, there's some pop there, but more likely, there's some base hits.
00:46:35So, very important to be patient.
00:46:37Let the pitcher walk you, if he will.
00:46:41Here's a 3-0.
00:46:45Ripped to third and caught!
00:46:47It's never fun going back to the dugout after hitting the line drive that finds a glove, but you will
00:46:51get some high fives.
00:46:53You know, when you make great contact, you feel like you've...
00:47:00...done everything right.
00:47:01But in this game of baseball, not everything is in your control.
00:47:08Ball!
00:47:17On the ground to third.
00:47:20To first.
00:47:21And that ends the inning.
00:47:24Down in order, go the Rays.
00:47:26But they hold on to a 4-3 lead.
00:47:33Back now, new pitcher on the mound as we roll into the bottom of the eighth, Craig Kimbrell.
00:47:38He's averaging more than one hit allowed per inning pitch this season, and that's not where you want to be
00:47:43at all.
00:47:43So, we'll see how he does here.
00:47:48And that one fouled off.
00:47:54On the inside corner for a strike.
00:47:57He'll challenge.
00:47:58Thought that was a ball.
00:47:59Oh, good eye of the plate.
00:48:01Good eye of the plate.
00:48:01They'll overturn the call.
00:48:02They'll keep both their challenges.
00:48:09And that one fouled off.
00:48:25On the inside corner for called strike three.
00:48:29And here's a challenge.
00:48:30That looked like it missed him.
00:48:32Barely a hair out of the zone, but it was a ball.
00:48:35So, they've still got both their challenges.
00:48:41Bout tip straight back.
00:48:42And that squared him up in the mask.
00:48:45That didn't feel good.
00:48:46Comes a 2-2.
00:48:48Fastball is outside.
00:48:50That's a really good take.
00:48:56Got him swinging for the K.
00:48:59He didn't make it easy for him on the mound, but they still get the strikeout.
00:49:03Pretty big strikeout right there to start this eighth inning.
00:49:06Down one.
00:49:06Any lead off base runner really makes this inning a bit more interesting.
00:49:10But now this offense has to switch from possibly trying to manufacture a run
00:49:14to needing to run into something or just try to string multiple hits together
00:49:18to get a run across the plate.
00:49:20Gets the call.
00:49:21And it's 0-1.
00:49:23McKinstry wants another look at the called strike.
00:49:26It's a challenge.
00:49:27And the strike is overturned after review.
00:49:31Still two challenges left for them.
00:49:33The 1-0.
00:49:35And that drops in for a strike.
00:49:44That's the third.
00:49:46Palacios.
00:49:47Zips it to first.
00:49:49Two out.
00:49:49That's why you hug the lines on the corners late in the ballgame like this.
00:49:54Positioned perfectly.
00:49:55Center fielder.
00:49:56Here's the center fielder.
00:49:58Matt Vierlin.
00:50:04Close one.
00:50:06Doesn't get the call.
00:50:07Ball one.
00:50:08It's getting squeezed a little bit here late.
00:50:11The Rays trying to hold a one-run lead.
00:50:14Here's the bottom half of the eighth inning.
00:50:16Swung on.
00:50:17Popped up on the infield.
00:50:20And that is the third out of the inning.
00:50:23Down in order go the Tigers.
00:50:25They still trail it here.
00:50:274-3.
00:50:35We're back.
00:50:36It's the top of the ninth.
00:50:37And there's a new pitcher on the mound.
00:50:39Kenley Jansen.
00:50:40They know that he can get a right-hander out.
00:50:43But he's in position to face a couple of lefties this inning.
00:50:46For the Rays, right fielder, Gavin Lutz.
00:51:04Meanwhile, activity in the bullpen.
00:51:07Drew Anderson getting ready to go.
00:51:31And that is in for a strike.
00:51:33And it's on to Jansen.
00:51:36Multi-time All-Star.
00:51:3738 years old.
00:51:39He joined the team as a free agent.
00:51:48That one almost got it.
00:52:06Foul ball still.
00:52:08One and two Cal.
00:52:22That's hard hit on the line.
00:52:23And that's got extra bases written all over it.
00:52:29In safely with a double.
00:52:31His second of the day.
00:52:33Great recovery in this one.
00:52:35Early in the count, he looked lost.
00:52:36But finished strong with a nice line drive.
00:52:57In there for a strike at the bottom of the zone.
00:53:03One-run game here at the top of the ninth.
00:53:15Out towards right center field.
00:53:20He's there.
00:53:21He's got it.
00:53:21Tags up from second.
00:53:23Tags up from second.
00:53:23And he'll head to third.
00:53:27Up next for Tampa Bay.
00:53:29Second baseman, Hessong Kim.
00:53:32Hessong Kim.
00:53:33Next to hit for the Rays.
00:53:35I'm curious how he decides to attack on the mound.
00:53:38This guy at the plate has been great hitting under pressure this year.
00:53:44Oh, he doesn't get the call.
00:53:47Yeah, that's ball one.
00:53:48Catcher challenge.
00:53:49We'll take another look.
00:53:51And that one did find the strike zone.
00:53:54He'll keep both their challenges.
00:53:57Crowd locked in right now.
00:54:00One-run game here in the ninth.
00:54:10Swing and a ball lifted left field.
00:54:12Brings it in.
00:54:14Runner tags for home.
00:54:16To the play.
00:54:17Now he's safe.
00:54:185-3 now.
00:54:19That play really shows how important it is to hit the cutoff, man.
00:54:23Looked like he tried to throw through and get the runner at home.
00:54:26But it's back.
00:54:33And it ended up costing them a run.
00:54:35I remember my rookie year overthrowing a cutoff, man.
00:54:38Didn't last long before I was pulled aside by a veteran pitcher.
00:54:42He had a talk with me.
00:54:43I don't know if I ever missed a cutoff man again.
00:54:47Two down, nobody on.
00:54:48You're the top of the ninth.
00:54:49He didn't want to give up that run, but he did.
00:54:51Got the fly ball, sack fly out.
00:54:53Now it's time to attack these other guys.
00:54:55Get your team back in the dugout.
00:55:17Swing and a ground ball up the middle.
00:55:19Fires to first on the run.
00:55:21In time.
00:55:22Got him.
00:55:23And that'll do it.
00:55:24Bottom part of the order.
00:55:257-8-9.
00:55:26Two up in inning number nine.
00:55:28Tampa Bay leads this one.
00:55:295-3.
00:55:31This is Ray's.
00:55:35Welcome back.
00:55:36And here comes the closer, Ryan Baker.
00:55:39Save opportunity for him right here.
00:55:41And he's their guy.
00:55:43Time to lock this one down and get out of here with the W.
00:55:46Gage Workman up now for the Tigers.
00:55:57And it stays fair.
00:56:00And that'll bring the tying run to the plate.
00:56:03Singy, that's a start.
00:56:05Yeah, as soon as that ball got through, I can see down in the dugout.
00:56:08Players pumping their fists.
00:56:09They know that they got a chance in this ballgame.
00:56:18That one finds the zone.
00:56:21That's strike one.
00:56:26Swing and a miss.
00:56:32Good job to fight that one off.
00:56:39The Rays trying to close out a two-run lead.
00:56:42And the home team trying to pull it out.
00:56:44And a base hit.
00:56:47Throwback in quickly.
00:56:49First and second.
00:56:50Now with nobody out.
00:56:51Having himself a really nice game at the plate.
00:56:53Just a solid swing right there.
00:56:56Caught it out front and ripped it into the outfield for the base hit.
00:56:59Those always feel great.
00:57:01Now that sets up a huge at-bat in this ballgame.
00:57:04Jones in the box as he fouls off the first pitch.
00:57:11Off the mark there.
00:57:12And the count even one and one.
00:57:19That's a slider for a strike.
00:57:24The Tigers with the winning run at the plate.
00:57:28They're the last half of inning number nine.
00:57:35And that one is lifted in the air.
00:57:38Mullins on the move.
00:57:40And there's one down.
00:57:44Off net for the Tigers.
00:57:47Second baseman.
00:57:48Glaber.
00:57:50Two aboard with one out.
00:57:51Glaber Torres up to hit.
00:57:59That's off the inside corner.
00:58:01Ball one.
00:58:06And another ball.
00:58:07Could be some action here on this next pitch.
00:58:09Couple runners on.
00:58:10Probably a challenge pitch coming.
00:58:17Two-on-one out.
00:58:20In the dirt.
00:58:21Blocked.
00:58:22No advance.
00:58:23Good job behind the dish.
00:58:31Check swing.
00:58:32Called strike.
00:58:34Three-and-one.
00:58:38Ground ball.
00:58:39Left side.
00:58:40Walls.
00:58:42To first.
00:58:43And it beats it.
00:58:44Everyone's safe.
00:58:45Good.
00:58:46Nice job getting there.
00:58:46Good for all.
00:58:47But very difficult to get anybody on that one as far as you had to go.
00:58:53And throw.
00:58:54You know.
00:58:55Yeah.
00:58:55No question.
00:58:56Substitution being made at first.
00:58:58Detroit going with the pitch runner.
00:59:00Trent Cruz.
00:59:05And that's in there at the knees for a strike.
00:59:13Hit hard.
00:59:14But foul off to the left.
00:59:16I think ultimately you want to tie him up.
00:59:19Get the ball in on the plate so that he can't get the barrel to.
00:59:22Three.
00:59:22In there.
00:59:23Got him.
00:59:24Looking for the K.
00:59:25Just one out remaining for the Tigers.
00:59:28And after review it was a ball.
00:59:30Good eye.
00:59:31So they've still got both their challenges.
00:59:34So they're all loaded up.
00:59:40What a stop.
00:59:41The flip.
00:59:42There's one.
00:59:43Got him.
00:59:43Double play.
00:59:44Just when they needed it.
00:59:45Most.
00:59:46What a finish.
00:59:47This team secures a winning season with the W today.
00:59:50And regardless of what else happens the rest of the way.
00:59:54You know that you're a winning ball club.
00:59:55So a little bit of pressure off.
00:59:56Put your foot on the gas.
00:59:58And just see where you can finish from this point on.
01:00:00A 5-3 final score in this one.
01:00:03For Chris Singleton and our entire crew here at MLB The Show.
