00:00:33On MLB The Show, it's the San Diego Padres taking on the Tampa Bay Rays.
00:00:41First pitch coming your way next.
00:00:48On the mound for this one, Steven Matz and Singy, it's unique these days, but he's more
00:00:54of a pitch to contact type of guy.
00:00:56Yeah, Boogie, he doesn't rely too heavily on the strikeout.
00:00:59He knows he needs to miss barrels, get some soft contact, let the defense do work behind
00:01:04him.
00:01:05And I think a guy like that can keep a good tempo, don't give hitters time to adjust or
00:01:09think.
00:01:10They can move through a ball game and you look up.
00:01:12They're in line for a quality start.
00:01:14We'll see what he's got in this way.
00:01:15Right through there for a strike.
00:01:17With Tatis at the plate, we're looking at a player that is never going to be considered
00:01:21boring.
00:01:22He's an electric player that manages to make plays most players wouldn't consider trying.
00:01:26And he plays the game his own way.
00:01:28It's a big lead.
00:01:29Let's take a look at the Padres lineup and an important bat for them, batting fifth in
00:01:34this one, Xander Bogarts.
00:01:36Yeah, definitely someone I always enjoy, you know, when I get a chance to watch him, whether
00:01:40he's hitting in a game or even taking swings during batting practice.
00:01:44Man, this guy is always so focused on what he's doing on that task at hand.
00:01:48He's got so much attention to detail that when he steps in the box, his success rate is really
00:01:53high.
00:01:54That's a ball.
00:01:55That's a really good take right there.
00:01:57Slider down and in.
00:01:58And very difficult to get on the same plane and do anything with it.
00:02:01Oh, that's inside.
00:02:02Missed inside with the curb.
00:02:08And there's the automatic.
00:02:11Just underway from Tropicana Field.
00:02:17That's ripped.
00:02:18Base hit.
00:02:22So a man aboard now with one away.
00:02:26Batting third.
00:02:28Third baseman.
00:02:28Manny Machado up to the plate.
00:02:30There's something pretty special about a player hitting 400 career home runs.
00:02:34He's one shy of that mark right here.
00:02:36So this could be an historic at bat.
00:02:41And that's downstairs.
00:02:42And now it's even one and one.
00:02:45Machado with a couple of homers in his last game.
00:02:48Just missed.
00:02:52Strike two.
00:02:53Strike two.
00:02:53Well, the hitter shows the pitcher that he's willing to go after that pitch down in the zone.
00:02:58So perhaps he'll come back to it.
00:03:00Still try to get that ground ball double play.
00:03:04And a foul ball.
00:03:05And a foul ball.
00:03:05He stays alive.
00:03:06Well, the two-two.
00:03:11He pulls it in.
00:03:13Two away.
00:03:15Race to the bag.
00:03:16But he's safe.
00:03:17Good job to avoid the double play.
00:03:19They couldn't have asked for a better hour.
00:03:21Makes a great play on the line drive.
00:03:23And they keep the runner at first.
00:03:24Just like that.
00:03:25They're almost out of the inning.
00:03:27That's off the inside corner.
00:03:29Ball one.
00:03:31But this guy's got a great feel for his breaking ball today.
00:03:37To third.
00:03:41Whips it to first.
00:03:42That's the inning.
00:03:44Now it's the Rays' turn.
00:03:46No score.
00:03:47This is Padres baseball.
00:03:49On the show, San Diego.
00:03:54Ready to go for the last half of the inning.
00:03:56And on the mound for San Diego in this one, Michael King.
00:04:00And Chris, pitching on the road has not been particularly kind to him.
00:04:05Digging in, Chandler Simpson.
00:04:07Number 14, Chandler Simpson.
00:04:12Ball one.
00:04:28The one-to-one.
00:04:32Simpson.
00:04:33Checks his swing.
00:04:34Appeal to third.
00:04:35He did not go around.
00:04:43Here's a two-one.
00:04:46And that drops in for a strike.
00:04:58In the air to left center.
00:05:02Grabs it on the run.
00:05:03And there's one down.
00:05:06All right, let's take a look at the Rays' lineup.
00:05:09A key piece, of course, a guy with a ton of pop.
00:05:12Junior Caminero.
00:05:13Well, his teammates keep feeding him, and he keeps on eating top five in the American League in RBIs.
00:05:19And he's become a go-to guy.
00:05:21Guy you want to see at the plate.
00:05:22If you root for this team, he's the guy you want up there with runners on base right now.
00:05:30Ball, that's low.
00:05:39That one fouled off.
00:05:51Hit hard on the ground and up the middle.
00:05:53Base hit.
00:05:56So they get a man aboard with a one-out single.
00:05:59Just so sound in his mechanics.
00:06:01Hits against a firm front side.
00:06:03And the hands just continue to carry through the middle of the field.
00:06:08Now, here is Junior Caminero.
00:06:23Oh, great stop.
00:06:25There's one.
00:06:27Double play.
00:06:28What a twin-killing to end the inning.
00:06:30First frame of the night behind us, and it's nothing-nothing.
00:06:46Back here in Tampa Bay, leading off, Xander Bogarts.
00:06:59Xander Bogarts.
00:07:02And that's in there for a strike, and quickly nothing at two.
00:07:10Got him.
00:07:11One gone here.
00:07:12Made quick work of him right there, Siggy.
00:07:14I know that's the kind of a bat maybe leaves a lot of fans wondering, what was he doing up
00:07:18there, right?
00:07:19Yeah, and I get that.
00:07:20I mean, you take two straight strikes, then chase one way out of the zone.
00:07:24It's just not a good at bat.
00:07:26It'll leave you shaking your head as a hitter, if not worse.
00:07:28But there's always going to be those trips to the plate where you're just lost up there, and that was
00:07:32one of them for sure.
00:07:33Pitch is in the dirt.
00:07:35Ball one.
00:07:43That's a ball.
00:07:52And that one hammered.
00:07:55That's got a chance.
00:07:58And he brings it into the warning track.
00:08:04Batting seven.
00:08:06Cinder fielder, Jackson Merrill.
00:08:08Next for the Padres, Jackson Merrill.
00:08:11Jackson Merrill.
00:08:18And that one finds its way through, and that keeps the inning going.
00:08:25Batting eighth, second baseman, Luis Brinjifo.
00:08:32Nope, that's a ball.
00:08:43No score here in the second.
00:08:49Back to that breaking pitches away, you get the feeling as a hitter that the pitcher's afraid of you, that
00:08:55he doesn't want to challenge you.
00:08:56So, I think the confidence level is raised right here.
00:08:59On the ground.
00:09:01And it goes just fouled.
00:09:07Two-two.
00:09:08Runner on the goal.
00:09:09Got him looking.
00:09:10That's a strikeout.
00:09:13We'll go to the bottom in the second.
00:09:14No score.
00:09:20Bottom half of inning number two at the plate now for the Rays is the DH, Yandy Diaz.
00:09:27Yandy Diaz.
00:09:33Right through there for a strike.
00:09:34Looks like he's just sizing him up there.
00:09:36Really good pitch to hit, but he took it all the way.
00:09:39Sometimes guys just want to set their timing.
00:09:42Later on in the game, that may be a pitch that he turns on.
00:09:46Swing and a ball.
00:09:48Hit out towards left center field.
00:09:49Laureano sprinting after it.
00:09:52Flashes the leather on the running catch.
00:09:55And there's one away.
00:09:57Every day during batting practice, these outfielders get about ten minutes of balls in the gaps.
00:10:02They practice this, and when the game comes, they make the play perfectly.
00:10:11Close, but called a ball.
00:10:13Ball one.
00:10:14Mullins with a homer in his last game.
00:10:34Fastball right back to the mound.
00:10:37To first, already two out here in the home half of inning number two.
00:10:42Batting six, right fielder.
00:10:45And stepping in for the Rays, Jake Fraley.
00:10:55Hey!
00:11:06Hammer, base hit.
00:11:08It's all two out.
00:11:09Knock keeps the inning alive.
00:11:12Good start for him to this ballgame tonight.
00:11:14I always talk about get a knock in your first at bat.
00:11:17It just makes your confidence.
00:11:19It's such a higher level for the potential to have a big night.
00:11:32Ball one.
00:11:33Ball one.
00:11:53here's a 1-1 this one chopped on the ground but foul
00:12:01Fraley off a first with two away inside ball this one kicks away a little as
00:12:11he can't squeeze it in there he's safe and now a man into scoring position
00:12:16just look like a lapse in concentration right there behind the plate maybe got
00:12:20crossed up but either way now they have to deal with a runner scoring position
00:12:24with two outs here's a 2-2 and a good idea really good take especially with two
00:12:30strikes Nick Fortes in the on-deck circle hoping to get a chance to make a big
00:12:35impact here
00:12:38man on second two down in the air left field and that will end the inning
00:12:48one hit one left we head on down to the top of the third no score
00:12:57welcome back as we take a peek at the starting pitching so far this year
00:13:11ball one
00:13:22y'all this is a good time to step out of the box take a deep breath reset a couple
00:13:26of
00:13:27change-ups probably won't see another one here
00:13:31fought off foul
00:13:38what to now
00:13:41round ball left side and that's just foul
00:13:51on the ground to third Caminero fires across the diamond and one away at the top of the third
00:13:58for the Padres let's take a look at his pitch usage in this one Ziggy the sinkers his bread and
00:14:04butter
00:14:04pitch boog and he's gone to it plenty in this one he's used it on more than half his pitches
00:14:09so far
00:14:10hasn't given up any runs yet so we might as well stick to the plan he had a pretty good
00:14:17look at that pitch and not sure exactly what tied him up there couldn't pull the trigger and perhaps the
00:14:24best pitch you'll see in this at bat to hit
00:14:26on the ground
00:14:32foul off the plate they'll do it again
00:14:37top of the third no score
00:14:42see if you can go upstairs a little bit make sure you miss up and out of the zone since
00:14:46you're heading
00:14:47to count one two don't miss in the zone because that's where you get hurt hit on the ground to
00:14:51short
00:14:53fires the first first two batters retired here in the top of the third
00:14:58left fielder Ramon Laureano
00:15:08Laureano comes up the hit
00:15:14swing and a line drive that's a base hit into right field
00:15:18and with the inning still alive here comes the heart of the order first pitch swinging went up
00:15:23there with a plan to be aggressive showed a willingness to drive that pitch the opposite way
00:15:27didn't get jumpy didn't try to pull the ball he let it get deep took the barrel right to it
00:15:32and then
00:15:32extended through the swing for the line drive base hit the two hole hitters showing so much versatility
00:15:39understanding the situation gets on base with two out to bring possibly the best hitters in this lineup up to
00:15:45the
00:15:45plate in this inning there's a good change up to hit up in the zone i don't think he recognized
00:15:51it
00:15:51i'm sure he'd love to have that one back
00:15:56and that is downstairs ball three gavin sheets in the on deck circle hoping to get a chance to make
00:16:03a big impact here so walk puts runners at first and second well interesting he went with the off speed
00:16:10and walk the hitter man you got to challenge the guy with the fastball there's gavin sheets now left
00:16:16hand back that's in there four one one first good strike right there for him he's going to have to
00:16:22do
00:16:22that consistently if he's going to give any link to his skipper
00:16:31the padres looking to strike first here in game one of this three game set well that's kind of
00:16:37what you expect in an 0-2 count excellent job of the hitter to have the plate discipline to lay
00:16:42off
00:16:42of that pitch swing and a high fly ball out there towards left field and that's the third out home
00:16:48half of the third coming up no score
00:16:57welcome back and coming off a series where the pitching was outstanding we take a look at those
00:17:04numbers
00:17:13outside low ball one
00:17:21and he gets tied up right there talk about tying a guy up that was ugly
00:17:34fastball for a strike
00:17:48left field loriano trying to get there won't get to this one it drops foul clearly he was geared up
00:17:56for
00:17:56the fastball right there maybe got a little jumpy and excited out of the hand but he certainly didn't
00:18:01miss a stitch fouls it back with two strikes
00:18:13and a one two
00:18:17ripped to third and caught it's never fun going back to the dugout after hitting a line drive that
00:18:22finds a glove but you will get some high fives you know when you make great contact you feel like
00:18:27you've done everything right but in this game of baseball not everything is in your control
00:18:53the 0-2
00:18:57the 0-2
00:19:01strikeout he's locked in at the plate when he's using the whole field he was out in front there
00:19:06just needs to let the ball travel a little more and his timing will be back on track
00:19:09good pitch for the strikeout
00:19:17so the Rays batting order turns over Chandler Simpson the next to hit
00:19:24all one
00:19:35he doesn't get a knock right here that pitch he just took is going to eat at him for a
00:19:39while
00:19:40you might not see another pitch like that from a top level guy like this
00:19:46here's a high chopper barehand grab over to first it's there and that's a great play
00:19:53he didn't have a choice slow roller comes in off balance barehanded strike to first base
00:19:59that's an outstanding play to end the inning
00:20:04back here at the ballpark let's check out the latest news from around the league
00:20:16and the first pitch misses for ball one
00:20:25oh it looks more focused at the plate and working the count after that first at bat strikeout
00:20:35generally second third time through the lineup you want to be able to lean on those secondary pitches
00:20:40and command them looks like he's doing a nice job of it
00:20:45line drive base hit so a runner aboard to start the inning
00:20:52everything came together for him you'll often hear the phrase short to it the long through it
00:20:57and that's a great example of it right there got the barrel in the hitting zone early
00:21:01squared it up with the well-timed swing and came away with a beautiful line drive in the center field
00:21:09and that one fouled off
00:21:17the 0-1
00:21:19this to third Caminero there's one
00:21:22and two
00:21:24what a play
00:21:25they made that double play look so easy but it was far from routine
00:21:29that's the one thing about big leaders they make tough plays look simple
00:21:36Jackson Merrill the next up for the Padres
00:21:43two down nobody on top half of inning number four
00:21:47right through there for a strike
00:21:49this guy's not wasting any pitches hitters got to get into swing mode
00:21:52this is a good time to expand the zone throw something maybe down in the dirt
00:21:56he goes down looking
00:22:00onto the bottom of the fourth now still with no score
00:22:08bottom four and stepping in for the Rays Jonathan Aranda
00:22:12first baseman Jonathan Aranda
00:22:19pitching well but not throwing a ton of first pitch strikes
00:22:23usually doesn't work out for success but you can never predict baseball
00:22:51stays alive
00:22:52stays alive
00:23:01here's the 0-2
00:23:04grounder off the pitcher
00:23:08still able to get it there in time
00:23:10and they get it out of the play
00:23:12that one got him pretty good
00:23:13but perhaps the silver lining is that it got him
00:23:16in his non-throwing arm Chris
00:23:18yeah assuming there's nothing broken in there I think he should be able to shake this one off
00:23:23but man that can't feel good
00:23:24it's gonna have a pretty nice bruise at the very least that's for sure
00:23:41all tied up we're here at the bottom of the fourth
00:23:57and they take the lead it's one zip
00:24:00Boog his plan was to hit the ball hard and he was gonna figure out the rest later you can't
00:24:05argue with those results
00:24:10that's as big as it gets right there you take advantage of a mistake
00:24:14that is an ultimate
00:24:16here it is
00:24:16watch it
00:24:17I'm gonna jog around the bases
00:24:22Yandy Diaz now
00:24:23flying to left his first time
00:24:39fastball for a strike
00:24:47goes down looking
00:24:49well I think that's a case of overthinking right there
00:24:53he got three straight fastballs looking in the 0-2 count just to pour it back
00:24:58up next for the race
00:25:00center fielder
00:25:01Cedric Mullins
00:25:10inside ball one
00:25:19and that one is lifted in the air
00:25:21Tatis on his way over
00:25:24and that ends the inning
00:25:28the Rays kick off the scoring with a solo bomb
00:25:31we're headed to the fifth
00:25:33you're watching Padres baseball on the show San Diego
00:25:39back here at Tropicana Field
00:25:41it's that time of the season
00:25:43let's check out some notable trade candidates
00:25:54swing and a foul straight back
00:25:55you know these Padres just aren't putting great swings on the baseball in this one
00:26:00they're trying to find ways to drive the ball with some authority
00:26:03but it's just not happening for him so far
00:26:06zero extra base hits in the game
00:26:08so it's been tough for him to get anything going
00:26:12spoils the two strike pitch and he'll see another
00:26:22fights it off he'll see another
00:26:34and it's fouled off they'll do it again
00:26:44got him swinging for the carry
00:26:46and that's four strikeouts
00:26:48and Chris I have to think he's feeling Amp needs just one more strikeout for a career milestone
00:26:55Boog he's Amp I'm Amp and I have to think the fans are too
00:26:59not every day you get to witness history like this
00:27:05it's frustrating for these hitters because they know they're not missing by much
00:27:09but it's going to take an adjustment to see some changes
00:27:15that's a strike
00:27:17the Padres down by a run
00:27:20and we're at the top of the fifth
00:27:24keeps the at-bat going with a foul ball
00:27:37swing and a ground ball up the middle that's a base hit
00:27:41and the tying run is on base
00:27:46well they found himself behind in the count right there but he didn't give in
00:27:50timing on the swing was good able to shoot the ball up the middle
00:27:53didn't square it up as much as he probably would have liked but
00:27:56that's a good approach paying off
00:28:00on the ground to third
00:28:02and it gets by him
00:28:04but plenty of time to recover
00:28:06and that's the second half
00:28:09left fielder Ramon Laureano
00:28:12here's Ramon Laureano
00:28:14he's
00:28:22for two
00:28:26in there for a strike at the bottom of the zone
00:28:31out towards right center field
00:28:34Fraley on the move
00:28:37and that's the third out
00:28:43still nothing on the scoreboard for him after five
00:28:46it's the Rays one
00:28:47and the Padres nothing
00:28:52back now in Tampa Bay
00:28:54and stepping in for the Rays
00:28:56Jake Fraley
00:28:57Jake Fraley
00:29:04that's a ball went with the sweeper
00:29:13lift it in the air left field pretty well struck
00:29:17Laureano takes it in for the out
00:29:20one away
00:29:23up next for the Rays
00:29:25second baseman
00:29:27Hassan Gill
00:29:37no
00:29:38challenge from behind the dish here
00:29:43not far out of the zone but it was a ball
00:29:46so that removes their last challenge
00:29:56and that is out of play
00:30:10short hop liner handled it short
00:30:12high throw to first and he can't reach it
00:30:15no advance though ball didn't get too far away
00:30:19that's a dangerous throw for the first baseman
00:30:21to try to handle right there
00:30:23exposed him to a potential collision
00:30:25and we've all seen some of the ugly ones over the years
00:30:28on plays similar to that one
00:30:30so it's great nothing came out of that other than the throwing error
00:30:33one down
00:30:35here's the catcher Nick Fortes
00:30:37this is the catcher Nick
00:30:38the catcher Nick
00:30:39the catcher Nick
00:31:02Here goes the runner.
00:31:04This one in the air.
00:31:06Fermin should have this one.
00:31:09That's out number two.
00:31:11That was a good pitch to hit right down the heart of the plate.
00:31:14Had pretty good timing on it.
00:31:15Just got underneath it a little bit and popped it up.
00:31:19Taylor Walls.
00:31:30That one catches the zone.
00:31:32That's strike one.
00:31:35Kim, the runner at first with two gone.
00:31:41Runner takes off.
00:31:43Ball misses.
00:31:44Upside.
00:31:45Throws.
00:31:46That's a stolen base.
00:31:48But with a good arm behind the dish,
00:31:50it's definitely a roll of the dice here to try to steal second base.
00:31:53Man, he can zip it down there so quickly.
00:31:56That was a pretty good throw as well.
00:31:58But really good, clean, stolen base.
00:32:00He can be pretty proud of himself.
00:32:03Man, it's second.
00:32:05To the right side.
00:32:07Renjifo.
00:32:09Slings the first.
00:32:10Third out.
00:32:12The Rays strand just the one, but they're on top, 1-0.
00:32:20Here in Tropicana Field, close game here and a chance now to look at a few highlights from this one.
00:32:44Next to hit, Manny Machado.
00:32:57And that drops in for a strike.
00:32:59Not many hitters go up there looking for an 0-0 breaking ball,
00:33:02but a good way for the pitcher to get ahead in the count.
00:33:13And he grounds one to the right side.
00:33:17Arunda takes it himself.
00:33:19Now one gone at the top of the sixth.
00:33:21He's doing a nice job of keeping the ball out of the air.
00:33:24Lens the defense work behind him with another ground ball.
00:33:27Good execution.
00:33:33Looks like he was trying to get to the front door with that curveball.
00:33:36It's definitely a finesse pitch,
00:33:37but it backed up a little bit on him and stayed inside.
00:33:46The Padres trailing by a run.
00:33:48And we're in the top half of the sixth.
00:33:58The one-two.
00:34:02Foul ball left side.
00:34:03He'll see another.
00:34:14And a ball evens a count.
00:34:24Now one missed.
00:34:32Swing and a ground ball up the middle.
00:34:34Kim on to first.
00:34:36Got him.
00:34:37Two quick outs to open the top of the sixth.
00:34:39Up next for the Padres, shortstop Xander Bogarts.
00:34:44Here's Bogarts now.
00:34:46One for two.
00:34:55Now a bullet to second base, but he's got it to end the inning.
00:34:58So another good inning for him on the mound.
00:35:02Six shutout innings now.
00:35:03This is Padres baseball on the show San Diego.
00:35:10Bottom of the sixth.
00:35:12Here's the Rays leadoff hitter, Chandler Simpson.
00:35:15If there's nobody on in front of him.
00:35:24Single for him many times is a double.
00:35:27This guy is off to the races, ready to steal a bag when he's on first base.
00:35:31Chris, he's currently the team leader in stolen bases.
00:35:49So a foul ball makes it one and two.
00:36:02Ball down.
00:36:10That one misses.
00:36:12And now it's three and two.
00:36:18That one misses.
00:36:20So a leadoff walk.
00:36:21Up next for the Rays, first baseman, Jonathan Arana.
00:36:26Here comes the manager out of the dugout, and he'll make a move for the bullpen.
00:36:29Michael King, done for the night.
00:36:31And he was a tough nut to crack.
00:36:33Pretty stingy from start to finish.
00:36:36Back with a new arm after a quick break.
00:36:45Griffin Cannon, taking over on the mound.
00:36:47Pretty tight game, so they're looking for quality pitches out of him right here.
00:36:51Got to do his best to keep the score right where it is.
00:37:14That one he's looking for there in the 0-0 count.
00:37:16Well, looks like he wants the ball down in the zone.
00:37:18Activity in the bullpen.
00:37:20Jeremiah Estrada, the hard-throwing righty, is up and loosening.
00:37:23Morgan getting loose as well.
00:37:25That's a ball.
00:37:26Canning, it is eighth season, 29 years old, and he won a gold glove in the shortened 2020 season.
00:37:34Right through there for a strike.
00:37:45Ball two.
00:37:54And that's a strikeout looking.
00:37:56That was pretty nasty.
00:37:57Well-executed pitch on the outside part of the plate.
00:38:09Up next.
00:38:10And stepping in for the raise, Junior Caminero.
00:38:13His home of earlier is responsible for the only runs they've scored in this one.
00:38:18Yeah, forget small ball.
00:38:19They're kind of living and dying by the long ball so far in this one.
00:38:32Gets the slider in there for a strike.
00:38:35Good approach right there.
00:38:36You want to get something just a little higher that you can elevate.
00:38:39Stay out on that double play.
00:38:40Over to first and he's safe.
00:38:49Here's the pitch.
00:38:50Runner goes.
00:38:51Strike in there.
00:38:52And it's safe.
00:38:54It's a stolen base.
00:38:55He reaches 40 stolen bases on the season with that bag.
00:39:00Sing, he definitely showed off the wheels there.
00:39:03Yeah, and it turned out to be a bang-bang play.
00:39:05StatCast gives us the data, and that stolen base wasn't possible without that sprint speed.
00:39:13Well, he missed badly with that 0-2 fastball.
00:39:16Hitter has to understand.
00:39:17Probably wants to try to put him away with that pitch.
00:39:19So, got to stay ready for it.
00:39:25Swing and a high fly ball out towards right field.
00:39:29Reaching for it and brings it in.
00:39:32Runner tags and goes to third.
00:39:34Got to love the over-the-shoulder catch.
00:39:36I got to tell you what, those are really fun to make.
00:39:38One of the most dedicated hitter, John D. G.A.
00:39:52In there and it's 0-1.
00:39:54I'm impressed that he went right after him on that first pitch.
00:39:57That's the key.
00:39:58Try to get ahead in the count, and you can play around a little bit more as it expands.
00:40:15Fouled off.
00:40:16He was late.
00:40:19Two outs and a runner, a third, here at the bottom of the sixth.
00:40:27Good job to fight that one off.
00:40:39And a 1-2 again.
00:40:42Ground ball to the middle.
00:40:43That's a base hit.
00:40:44In to score from third.
00:40:46It's an RBI single, and they lead by two.
00:40:50Comes through with the RBI.
00:40:52Really nice job staying up the middle with his approach.
00:40:55He didn't try to do too much with the pitch.
00:40:57Just shot it through the infield.
00:41:03Runner at first with two away.
00:41:05Now up for Tampa Bay, Cedric Mullins.
00:41:11And that's in there for strike one.
00:41:22Fastball for a strike at 95.
00:41:25Perhaps not quite ready to hit.
00:41:27First two pitches by him for a couple of strikes.
00:41:30Now back is against the wall.
00:41:31He's going to have to figure something out and figure it out quickly.
00:41:35Battling here as he fouls it away.
00:41:47Got it.
00:41:48That ends the frame.
00:41:52So one run in the inning on this base hit.
00:41:56Seventh inning coming up.
00:41:57You're watching Padres baseball on the show, San Diego.
00:42:05Now pitching for the Reds.
00:42:06Welcome back.
00:42:07We're in the seventh.
00:42:08We have a new pitcher on the mound.
00:42:09Cole Solser.
00:42:10Well, he's been a bit of a wild card out there in terms of throwing strikes.
00:42:14He's definitely struggled with free passes this year.
00:42:17San Diego, the designated hitter.
00:42:19Miguel Andujar.
00:42:23That's a strike at the top edge of the zone.
00:42:25It's 0-1.
00:42:29On the ground to the left.
00:42:30And that's a fair ball.
00:42:33And that'll bring the tying run to the plate.
00:42:38Well, the last ten games or so have been anything but fun at the plate for him.
00:42:43So that one has to feel good.
00:42:45Turned on it nicely.
00:42:46Definitely a little out in front of the pitch.
00:42:48But he didn't hook around it too much and was able to keep it fair down the line.
00:43:02Now this is in the air down the line.
00:43:05And he can't quite get there.
00:43:08It's a foul ball.
00:43:13It's a foul ball.
00:43:42That's a foul ball.
00:44:07That's a foul ball.
00:44:09That's the knock that'll extend his hitting streak.
00:44:11Singe, how much does it weigh on your mind when you're coming to the plate in the late innings
00:44:16with a streak going?
00:44:17Yeah, quite a bit.
00:44:18And a hitter's supposed to say he's only focused on the current at bat.
00:44:22But man, honestly, it's hard not to know that if you don't come up with a hit, your streak's
00:44:27over.
00:44:27So it's there, at least in the back of your mind.
00:44:32On Duhar, the lead runner out at second.
00:44:35Ring Efo at first.
00:44:36One goal.
00:44:37Well, he's got ahead with two pitches down in the zone.
00:44:40He has plenty of options right here.
00:44:42He can go up, he can go away, he can add velocity, he can subtract.
00:44:53Knocks that one away and we'll do it again.
00:45:02Two on, one out.
00:45:06In the dirt, well done behind the dish.
00:45:10Here's a one-two.
00:45:13Swing and a miss!
00:45:14Struck him out!
00:45:15So far, just one of those days for this lineup.
00:45:18You get a couple of runners on and you're looking at having a big inning and that strikeout
00:45:23right there just pours water on the fire.
00:45:26Look for the next hit.
00:45:34Step up and try to do something.
00:45:36Pick up his teammate and his club.
00:45:38Oh, look at the stop.
00:45:40And they get the out.
00:45:43Padres leave a pair.
00:45:44They're still down.
00:45:45It's 2-0.
00:45:52Welcome back as we take a look at their upcoming schedule.
00:45:55Ray, right fielder, Jace Brayley.
00:46:17That one almost got him.
00:46:19Straighten him up a little bit.
00:46:30This one in the air center field.
00:46:35He's there.
00:46:36He's got it.
00:46:37One up, one down.
00:46:38Up next for the race, second baseman, Hassan Kiel.
00:46:53Fastball for a strike.
00:47:04Swing, high fly ball, right field.
00:47:06That one back, that one on its way, and it's gone.
00:47:13A solo shot.
00:47:15And they add to the lead.
00:47:16It's 3-0.
00:47:18That's a swing that'll boost the win probability for sure.
00:47:40One down.
00:47:42Now at the plate, Nick Cortez.
00:47:48That's out.
00:47:59Out to center.
00:48:04Two away.
00:48:08Up next for the race, shortstop Taylor Wall.
00:48:26Looks like he sacrificed a pitch right down the middle for tracking and timing.
00:48:31Some good hitters will do that.
00:48:33Two down bases, empty, but one run across.
00:48:35Here at the bottom of the seven.
00:48:38Right through there for a strike.
00:48:50Fouled off, and they'll do it again.
00:49:02Swings through that one.
00:49:03It's a strikeout.
00:49:07Solo homer extends the lead for Tampa Bay.
00:49:10It's now 3-0.
00:49:19Now pitching for the race.
00:49:20Welcome back, and a new arm on the mound to start the eight.
00:49:23Michael Grove.
00:49:24And this marks the 60th time he's come on to pitch so far this year.
00:49:28Clearly a very relied-upon arm in this bullpen.
00:49:36Laureano leading things off and takes a strike.
00:49:47Ball.
00:50:01Pretty easy to give up on that pitch right there.
00:50:04Started on the edge of the plate with the spin.
00:50:06You know it's going to finish well off the plate.
00:50:14That one fouled off, two and two.
00:50:24Next one in the dirt.
00:50:35And a foul ball.
00:50:36He stays alive.
00:50:42Three balls, two strikes the count.
00:50:48Sharp grounder.
00:50:49That's through for a base hit.
00:50:52Man aboard on the leadoff single.
00:50:56Up next for the Padres, third baseman, Manny.
00:50:59And a major milestone is right around the corner.
00:51:03One home run short of 400 for his career.
00:51:10Oh, yeah.
00:51:11Well, let me say, when he hits number 400, that's really special.
00:51:15About even 70 players in the end.
00:51:17Meanwhile, this pitch gets away.
00:51:22And the runner stays where he is.
00:51:27Laureano gets his lead at first.
00:51:29Nobody out.
00:51:31This one bashed to left center.
00:51:33On its way.
00:51:34And that one's out of here.
00:51:39So, there's number 400.
00:51:42What a moment as one of the game's best circles the bases one more time in his great career.
00:51:49A very special swing of the bat.
00:51:52Yeah, but we're going to be, this is one of those career-defining moments.
00:51:55When a guy makes his way into the 400 home run club, he's going to start being mentioned amongst the
00:52:01greatest power hitters to ever play this ball game.
00:52:04It's a rarefire up there, and it's been really incredible to watch him perform throughout his career.
00:52:35In the air to left center.
00:52:40And there's one down.
00:52:46Up next for the Padres, shortstop Xander Bogart.
00:52:50Here's Xander Bogart's one for three.
00:53:00Bogart swings through that one.
00:53:08That's the third.
00:53:10Caminero fires in time.
00:53:15A couple of pitches and a quick out.
00:53:17Up next for the Padres, the designated hitter, Miguel Anguja.
00:53:36The Rays trying to hold a one-run lead, and we're at the top of the eighth.
00:53:45This one in the air center field, Mullins moving under this one, and that is that.
00:53:53Padres draw closer on the long ball.
00:53:56Last half of the eighth coming up.
00:53:58This is Padres baseball on the show San Diego.
00:54:05Back now, new pitcher on the mound as we roll into the bottom of the eighth.
00:54:09Jason Adam.
00:54:11And he's been racking up strikeouts at a high rate this year.
00:54:14Typically at least one in innings, so he'll be tough to get to.
00:54:17Chandler Simpson.
00:54:25Foul ball.
00:54:37The 0-1.
00:54:39Yeah, that's fouled off.
00:54:50The 0-2.
00:54:52Way inside.
00:54:53Gets out of the way.
00:55:031-2 now.
00:55:05Breaking ball in there.
00:55:07Got him looking.
00:55:08And that's the first out.
00:55:09Well, this is no secret.
00:55:11That slider is going to be his go-to pitch.
00:55:13Everyone in the ballpark knows it.
00:55:15It's a mess.
00:55:21Part of his arsenal, and he'll throw it a lot.
00:55:24And in pretty much any count, any situation,
00:55:26and he's going to look to punch guys out as well.
00:55:28I tell you what, the effectiveness of that slider is always a big key for him.
00:55:32Activity in the bullpen for San Diego.
00:55:34Adrian Mora home.
00:55:36The left-handed reliever appears to be getting loose.
00:55:39Estrada, the hard-throwing right-hander, up as well.
00:55:43And the 1-0.
00:55:45Nasty backdoor slider.
00:55:47There's really nothing you can do with that if you swing at it.
00:55:49So, it's a good take by him.
00:55:56That's a bullet, but it goes foul.
00:56:09The 2-1.
00:56:11And that one fouled off.
00:56:232-2 now.
00:56:26Strike three, and that's two in a row.
00:56:28Very strong coming out of the pen so far as he punches out the first two batters he's faced in
00:56:33this one.
00:56:34Getting you straight to work.
00:56:35Man, it's talked about a lot, but relievers are just so electric these days.
00:56:39These aren't fun at bats if you're a hitter.
00:56:41I'm so glad I'm retired.
00:56:56Close, but called a ball.
00:56:58And that is ball one.
00:57:08Nice grab.
00:57:09Throw to first, and that's a nice play to end the inning.
00:57:13Down in order.
00:57:14Go the Rays.
00:57:15But they're up 3-2.
00:57:41Ryan Baker comes out trying to close it out.
00:57:43I think closer has to be one of the toughest jobs in baseball, though.
00:57:48We see a pretty high turnover rate because of it.
00:57:50Every outing seems to be high pressure, this one included.
00:57:54We'll see if he can wrap up the road and get himself a save.
00:57:57The 0-2.
00:58:00And it's fouled off.
00:58:01They'll do it again.
00:58:06Drop ball right side, and that one handled.
00:58:10Fires over to first.
00:58:11Now one gone in the ninth.
00:58:13That's a big first out right there, and that changes things.
00:58:18Yeah, you can kind of see how just the hope and optimism is shrunk a little bit,
00:58:22but they got a couple more outs to work with.
00:58:24They got to find a way to get a runner on and get one around the bases.
00:58:28Padres with only one out remaining.
00:58:31Up next for the Padres, catcher Freddy Furbin.
00:58:36So digging in, Freddy Furbin.
00:58:41Baker, this is his 60th appearance of the year.
00:58:45And they went out and made a trade for him last season.
00:58:50The Rays trying to close out a one-run lead.
00:58:53You're at the top of the ninth.
00:58:55And there's a foul ball.
00:58:57He's mixing his pitches really well.
00:58:59He laid on that fastball after seeing the changeup.
00:59:01He can elevate one.
00:59:03I think if he does, he'll get the swing and miss.
00:59:06That one not close.
00:59:08Full count down.
00:59:10The Padres down to their final strike.
00:59:17Looking to get the tying run on base.
00:59:20Up the middle.
00:59:21And that chance handled.
00:59:23Throw to first.
00:59:24Ball game.
00:59:25And the Rays hold on to win a tight one as this one ends as a one-run ball game.
00:59:31Whether you're a season ticket holder or you just come to a couple of games a year,
00:59:34to see your team win at home, there's just something special about that.
