00:01A beautiful day for some day baseball. The Mariners have a chance to win a game and win a series.
00:07Rubber game, Mariners and the Athletics. Well, the Mariners looking to take this one today, a series they really have
00:13to win.
00:13Crafty lefty, can we call him that? Jacob Lopez is up on the mound. He doesn't throw hard, but I'll
00:19tell you what, he's been throwing the ball well recently.
00:21Yeah, he's been really solid in the second half. His last start ended a stretch of 10 straight starts of
00:26allowing two runs or less.
00:28And again, Crawford takes high, works a walk, a nine-pitch at bat. And that'll bring up Randy Rosarena.
00:35Brown ball, shortstop. Williams now on to first base for the double play, and that leadoff walk is erased.
00:41Two outs, nobody on. That'll bring up right fielder Dom Canzone.
00:45Now a pop-up on the infield. It's going to be Alika Williams to make the catch.
00:51The top of the first comes to an end, so the Mariners fail to score with the A's coming up
00:55in the bottom half.
00:56Bryce Miller on the mound today for the Mariners.
00:59It's been a little bit of a rough road for Bryce as of late.
01:02Overall, 19 appearances, but just not able to get deep into ballgames and a really short leash on him from
01:08Dan Wilson last few starts.
01:09And he gets the strikeout, speaking of swings and misses.
01:12Yeah, Bolte, good morning.
01:13One down.
01:14And that'll bring up Gell-Off.
01:1617 home runs, 44 RBIs.
01:18One for eight on the series.
01:202-2.
01:20High drive to left.
01:23A Gell-O shot opens up the scoring in the bottom of the first.
01:28A new career season high in home runs for Gell-Off with 18 on the 20-26 campaign.
01:36That ball was launched.
01:3896, top shelf, upper tank for Gell-Off.
01:42So Lawrence Butler, who's 3-for-8 on the series, 227 overall, is up.
01:46And he will cross this to right.
01:48The A's have gone back-to-back.
01:51For a club that gave up five home runs last night, they already have two homers in the first inning
01:57today.
01:58A little cutter just didn't quite do much except for jump off the barrel of Butler.
02:03Back-to-back pitches, back-to-back home runs, and 2-0 A's.
02:08And that'll bring up Muncy.
02:09A wave and a miss.
02:11Breaking ball gets Muncy, but damage dealt.
02:13Gell-Off and Butler go back-to-back, and the A's lead it after an inning.
02:17And Lopez, a little bit of early run support.
02:19Cal Raleigh, who's 0-for-8 on this series.
02:22Check swing.
02:23Yes, he did.
02:24There's the first strikeout for Lopez, and one is away.
02:27Line drive into right field.
02:29That's going to drop in front of Butler for a base hit.
02:31Julio going the other way.
02:32That's a great sign for Julio.
02:34Hard hit ball into right field, and the Mariners will bring the tying run up to home plate.
02:38And Josh Naylor swung on a five-ball.
02:41Shallow left center, long run.
02:43Bolton's going to get there, and he makes the catch.
02:45Good break by Henry.
02:46First and second, Dan Hubbs, the A's pitching coach, went to the mound.
02:49A's lead 2-0.
02:50And here's Weston Wilson.
02:52And again, the runners go.
02:53The 3-2 is swung on.
02:55And it popped up back a first down the right field line.
02:57McNeil into foul territory.
02:58Leaning with it.
02:59Goes into the netting just beyond the tarp and hangs on.
03:04An excellent play by Jeff McNeil.
03:07He kind of went right up against the fencing down there about 20 feet beyond the tarp.
03:13And able to keep the ball from hitting the netting, and that would have negated the catch.
03:18Kept the ball in his glove.
03:20He shows it to the first-base umpire, Louis Krupa.
03:23And that's it for the Mariners.
03:25And it's off for the second.
03:26So back-to-back walks given up by Bryce Miller after he took care of the first two hitters
03:31like he did in the first inning.
03:33So two on now for the A's.
03:35That'll bring up Henry Bolte.
03:37Into center field.
03:38Julio underneath it.
03:41Those walks don't score this time.
03:43Nice job by Bryce Miller after those pair of two-out walks.
03:47Leave him stranded.
03:48Stroke left field towards the line.
03:49Long run.
03:50Cortez goes to a dive, and he can't catch it.
03:53It's on the ground.
03:54He's into second.
03:55It's a double.
03:56Good effort by Cortez.
03:57Couldn't come up with it.
03:58An extra base hit for the Mariners.
04:00And now they'll bring the tie run to the dish.
04:02Here's a Rosarena.
04:03He already has 20 homers and 20 stolen bases.
04:06Oh, he tags this.
04:10Randy Rosarena is leaving the yard.
04:13Game time.
04:14Two-run home run.
04:16Randy having a big series against the A's.
04:20A lot of Mariner fans here in West Sacramento.
04:22They're on their feet right behind the Mariners' first base dugout coming down for this weekend series.
04:27And Randy Rosarena has had a great, great season for this ball club.
04:30But over the last couple of weeks, he's hitting right around 320 with four home runs.
04:36You hear the Mariners fans chanting Randy.
04:37It'll be a wild pitch moving Butler to second.
04:40And the go-ahead run standing at second base.
04:42Count is one and two on Max Muncy.
04:44Max is nine for 26 against Mariner pitching this year.
04:50Blocked it gap right center field.
04:52Julio and Don.
04:54Game zone makes the catch.
04:55And that hit-by-pitch is stranded in scoring position.
04:58So, Josh Naylor had three hits last night.
05:00How about one here today?
05:01Second time he's walked Arroyo.
05:04Third walk overall for Jacob.
05:06And now the Mariners' first and second one out.
05:09Here is Weston Wilson.
05:11Soft fly ball.
05:12Shallow center.
05:12Bolte comes sprinting in.
05:14And it drops in between Walton and Bolte.
05:18Weston Wilson living right.
05:20Everybody advances a base.
05:22The runners had to wait to see.
05:24It is down.
05:25It's a single.
05:26And the bases are loaded for Johnny Pareda.
05:30Swung on.
05:30Golf to left field.
05:31Cortez races in.
05:32He makes the catch.
05:33Here's the tag.
05:34Naylor trying to score.
05:36The throw home on the fly.
05:37The tag is late.
05:38He slides.
05:38He's safe.
05:39A sacrifice fly by Johnny Pareda.
05:42It's three to two Mariners.
05:44So, two outs.
05:45Runners out of the corners now.
05:46Arroyo moves into third on the play.
05:48Here's J.P.
05:49Ground ball.
05:50And it hits right off the belt of Lopez.
05:53And dies.
05:54Bullseye.
05:55J.P. Crawford drives in a run.
05:58Right off the wallet.
06:00Four-two Mariners.
06:01And Mark Conce is indeed going to have to come out in the fourth.
06:04The pitcher on the mound.
06:06Scott Blewett.
06:07Mariners have dipped into the bullpen early.
06:09And Randy batting with two outs and runners at first and second base.
06:12Ground ball up the middle.
06:13And it's into center field.
06:15Wilson's coming around to score.
06:17The Mariners tack on yet another run in a productive fourth inning.
06:21Randy's driven in three of the five.
06:23And the Mariners extend the lead.
06:25And the Mariners have the bases loaded with one out here in the top of the fifth and eighths.
06:29Scott Blewett having a rough time.
06:31And here comes manager Mark Conce out of the dugout for the Athletics.
06:34That's it for Blewett.
06:35We've got a pitching change for the A's.
06:37Luis Medina comes out of the bullpen for the A's.
06:40He inherits a bases loaded situation.
06:42So, that'll bring up Johnny Pareda looking for a clutch base hit.
06:45Here's Pareda.
06:47One for one with a double and a sacrifice fly.
06:49A run batted in.
06:50And he has a run scored.
06:51That is ball four.
06:53Base is loaded.
06:54Walk.
06:55Six-two Mariners.
06:57Now, Raleigh scores.
06:58Third walk this to anybody in.
07:00Ground ball to short.
07:01Lico will step on the bag.
07:03And that retires the side.
07:05Seattle adds another run to their cause.
07:06They lead by four.
07:07Bryce Miller on the mound.
07:09Trying to get a little deeper in this ball game.
07:11He gave up two runs back in the first inning.
07:13On back-to-back home runs.
07:14Got out of trouble in the second.
07:16And has settled in the last two innings.
07:18Nice to see from Bryce.
07:19Swing and a miss for strike three.
07:22And that's going to retire the side.
07:24And Bryce Miller gets through five innings this afternoon.
07:27No runs, no hits, no errors.
07:28And one man left on after five.
07:31Canzone glides into second base.
07:34It's a double for Dom.
07:35So he does join the party.
07:37The one-out double.
07:39Hartlieb looking for the first scoreless A's inning since the second.
07:43Great ground ball.
07:43Lico gloves.
07:44Guns to first.
07:45And Rodriguez beaten out by half-step.
07:48And he does get that scoreless inning in the sixth.
07:51New pitcher on for the Mariners.
07:53Carlos Vargas will take over for the M's in the sixth inning.
07:56So Bryce Miller's day is done.
07:58He gives the Mariners five today.
08:00Not particularly hard hit.
08:02But Donovan Walton, the one-out double.
08:03Two outs and a man at second for Bryant Servan.
08:07Vargas lets it get past him.
08:08Wise decision.
08:10Side retired.
08:11Works around that double from Walton.
08:13It's a one-up over the wall for a ground-rolled double.
08:16So Lico breaks a hole for 19 skid with that double lead off the seventh.
08:19His 16th double of the year.
08:22Well, that feels good for Lico.
08:23And here is Hank Bolte.
08:24But it nicked him.
08:26So Bolte to first.
08:27He's now first and second.
08:28Nobody out for Jeff McNeil.
08:30Goes to the bullpen.
08:31Gabe Spire will be the one coming in to face McNeil.
08:33Runners on first and second.
08:35Mariners up 5-4.
08:36One hopper.
08:38Row to first.
08:38And McNeil's out.
08:40But he says he's safe.
08:41Very close.
08:42Bang, bang, play.
08:43And they are going to take a look.
08:45I mean, this is close.
08:47Very close.
08:47I mean, McNeil gets to the bag with the right foot, the front of the bag, just before the
08:51ball gets there.
08:52I think he may have it.
08:54After he's on the field in overturned.
08:56Runners safe.
08:56That's right.
08:57They got it right.
08:58Base is loaded.
08:58Nobody out.
08:59Gelov is coming up.
09:00He represents the tying run.
09:02And the A's within one swing of changing this ball game.
09:06Outside.
09:07He stays patient.
09:09Parada, a late ABS challenge.
09:12Well, and a horrible challenge.
09:14I mean, that's awful.
09:15And it's 6-3.
09:17An RBI walk from Gelov.
09:19The next 3-2.
09:21Ground ball to second.
09:23Young will have one play to first.
09:24And it's 6-4.
09:26Butler grounds out.
09:27But it is an RBI.
09:28He does his job.
09:29Here's Shea Langoliers to base Sir Anthony Dominguez.
09:32We'll see if Dominguez, see if they pitch to him with the base open here.
09:35It's a 6-4 ball game.
09:38Dominguez is the fourth pitcher of the game for the Mariners.
09:42He's up at a big spot.
09:44Off the glove at Dominguez.
09:45That's going to leak into right.
09:47This is going to tie the game.
09:496-6 Langoliers.
09:51A pinch hit.
09:52Two RBI single.
09:546-6 the score.
09:56And we've got a brand new ball game.
09:59So, two outs and nobody on for Randy Rosarena.
10:03We can get something started here with two outs.
10:05Randy and Rosarena.
10:07Taking flight.
10:09Randy is out of here.
10:11His second home run is a go-ahead.
10:14Eighth inning shot.
10:16An absolute monster series from Randy Rosarena.
10:20Puts the Mariners back in front.
10:22Holy smokes.
10:23You talk about a swing of emotion when it looked like the Mariners were going to have a rough time
10:29here in the eighth inning.
10:30Randy says, no.
10:31Oh, he perks up the Mariner crowd here in West Sacramento with his 25th home run of the season.
10:38And the Mariners have the lead.
10:40This is caught.
10:42J.P. Crawford from the top shelf.
10:46I know he likes to think of himself as QB1, but he's DB1 on this play right here.
10:50Like a defensive back.
10:52Perfect drop step.
10:53This is a slow line drive.
10:56You see that first step, dropping back, setting his angle with his hips.
11:01A little jump there at the end.
11:02High points it.
11:03So one out.
11:04Here's Alika Williams, who's walked in a comebacker and doubled.
11:08Popped up.
11:09Shallow right.
11:10Out goes Naylor.
11:11In comes Canzone.
11:12It drops.
11:13And Alika's pushing for second.
11:14And he will dive in safely as it gets into left field.
11:18Alika's going to take third base.
11:20Make it happen.
11:22Make it happen.
11:24Alika Williams had double on the brain as soon as he left the box, Chris.
11:29And that's the difference maker here.
11:31He got a speed upgrade.
11:32Denzel Clark is getting set to run for Williams.
11:35And Dan Wilson looks like he's calling on Andres Munoz.
11:38Tough spot here.
11:39Munoz comes in with one out and a runner at third in the bottom of the eighth inning.
11:43And he's facing the top of the order.
11:45Here it comes.
11:46Oh, he goes around.
11:48Back pick.
11:48Tag safe.
11:49He strikes him out and there's two away.
11:52The pitch was up.
11:53It would have been ball four.
11:55So there are two outs.
11:56Runner on at third.
11:57And the batter is Jeff McNeil.
11:59The pitch on the way.
12:00Fly ball.
12:01Left field.
12:03Randy is there.
12:04And Andres Munoz comes out of the bullpen with the fire extinguisher.
12:10Puts out the flames and strands the tying run at third base.
12:15So here's Julio.
12:16Line drive.
12:17Dive and catch by Gelof.
12:19What a play by the third baseman.
12:22Elite.
12:23Just an elite first step here from Zach Gelof.
12:27I talked earlier in the ball game about the pre-pitch routine.
12:30You see him up and down.
12:31Settle and then spring.
12:33And that quickly, the A's have the tying run at first with nobody out.
12:37Here's Butler.
12:38He's homered hit by a pitch.
12:40The A's have another late rally on this homestand.
12:43High fly ball to right center field.
12:46Canzone going back.
12:48Still going back.
12:49It's over.
12:53Lift off for the long dog.
12:56The September spoilers come up again and walk off Seattle for the second time in this series.
13:05The A's book in the series with walk-off home runs.
13:10And they may have single-handedly driven a stake through the Mariners in the last week and change.
