00:01exciting day for this group a lot of smiles in that clubhouse the resilient wins as you talked
00:05about and then you get a player like michael harris back up in the lineup tonight the first
00:09time since june 14th when he suffered that hamstring injury he's excited to be back kind
00:14of feels like the first day of school uh it feels like i haven't seen him in a while but
00:19i've just seen him last week but um yeah it's just been a while since i've been out there with
00:24them
00:24and i'm just excited to get back on the hill tonight for the giants will be robbie ray a
00:2910-year veteran making start number four he is completely built up and ready to go now he has
00:33a pretty good feel that his body is capable of going into a long inning and pitching through it
00:39going deeper into ball games and he can maintain the consistency of the snap on its slider you know
00:45his lifetime record against the braise one and three is not that great but when he's throwing good like
00:49he is right now i mean you'd throw him up against anybody and they're stacking up the right handers
00:54against him the slider is going to be key and if he can establish that pitch early in the game
00:58i mean
00:58he can write it all all night long i mean both of these guys right now right you have a
01:01grunter and
01:02robbie ray you have the big strong hacks of jorge soler this is man on man right now and seeing
01:08who
01:08can outpower each other says ray loses control of the slider and hits soler oh gosh he hit riley as
01:15well that time it was the four seamer was the breaking ball to soler so back-to-back hit by
01:20pitches to
01:21start this ball game and now the leading rbi man in the national league is coming up with two men
01:29on
01:29and nobody out straight free call right at the knees with the slider and adam beck is one of those
01:37uh i'm
01:37going to go into my very theatrical strike three call routine now and that misses as well so you've
01:45got arcia now the right-handed hitter coming up with the bases loaded ray has hit two batters and walked
01:50one he got all kinds of trouble the only batter who wasn't either walked or hit he struck out it's
01:56already going to be the 28th pitcher the first inning for robbie ray and he misses high and walks in
02:02a run
02:02well that was non-competitive from robbie ray i get a little bit concerned sometimes that orlando's been
02:08opening up the zone a little bit more he started chasing a little bit more but robbie ray did not
02:12even give him a chance to chase that it wasn't close five batters in there has not been a ball
02:17put in play
02:17so here is the return of michael harris activated today for the 60-day injured list this ball is hit
02:25deep to
02:25right are you kidding me welcome back michael harris a grand slam into the cubby cove
02:36it's confirmed we missed michael harris and what a way to come back and what an opportunity with the
02:42bases loaded left on left non-issue splashdown robbie ray completely disoriented out there now he's
02:50swinging strike three and he puts lariano away post haste boy robbie ray is just all out of sorts he's
02:59now at 39 pitches
03:01he's walked three he's hit two and he's given up a grand slam and that's going to be it he's
03:06done
03:06bob melvin is taking the former cy young award winner out with two outs in the first inning and
03:13grand holmes steps onto the diamond with a five to nothing lead exactly how you'd like to have it as
03:19a starting pitcher this will be his fourth start i want you to take a note of that foreseen fastball
03:24data then they're just a 127 batting average against that's the fourth lowest in all of major league
03:29baseball you have to throw at least 200 of those to be considered for the list but his fastball has
03:34just been incredible giants have a lot of work to do as they bat in the bottom of the first
03:38already down
03:395-0 facing the right-hander grand holmes fitzgerald doesn't waste any time as he lifts this one to left
03:45back is solaire at the wall and it is out of here tyler fitzgerald hits the first pitch thrown by
03:54holmes
03:54and he just barely made it over the left field wall and just beyond the grasp of jorge solaire and
04:00the
04:00giants get one of those runs back right down that's a way to let the other team know that
04:05they haven't cashed it in well matt olsen makes all three plays at the bottom of the second and
04:10wouldn't you know it he leads off the third matt olsen out to left field well struck is this one
04:15going to go yes it is solo shot the opposite way for matt olsen six to one braves well that's
04:23a good
04:23sign seeing matt olsen drive the ball the other way that is the first earned run by a giants reliever
04:28and
04:29over 19 innings so we knocked out the starter but we got to contend with a pretty decent bullpen
04:35and that's a good way to do it back-to-back strikeouts for holmes here's lamon wade jr a liner
04:40into left
04:41that's going to be a hit for lamont one hop to solaire a two out base hit for the giants
04:47brings up elliot
04:48ramos round ball left side toward the hole over the backhanded arcia jump throw to second and it's not
04:54handled cleanly by merrifield stretching out to try to take it and so wade is safe and ramos is going
05:01to
05:01have himself an infield hit here's a ground ball softly hit toward the middle merrifield diving to
05:06his right has it and that for the moment will save a run but he has no chance to get
05:11anybody out the
05:12bases are loaded still a tough at bat here with matt chapman coming up but granholm still remains just
05:18one out away from getting out of this inning right field laureano back a couple of steps he will take
05:23it
05:24three singles but the giants leave him loaded bailey's had some louder contact lately holmes
05:312-2 pitch catch it well that was softly hit that's the good news and holmes is able to knock
05:37it down
05:37and make the play you got to do a lot more than that to hurt grant holmes he's tougher than
05:43a three
05:43dollar steak as they say sometimes in southern indiana softly to second base
05:49one two three bottom of the fourth six to one atlanta the giants have given up two hits in the
05:57game and they're down six to one that's it's not impossible obviously but it's very hard to to give
06:03up two hits and have allowed six runs austin riley high in the air deep to left field ramos at
06:09the wall
06:10he will watch it go solo shot for riley make it seven to one braves hitting some bombs here by
06:17the bay
06:18that is their third home run of the ball game and they only had three hits the entire night
06:24that's making them count right there now back to the top of the order this will be the first time
06:28we've seen jared kelnic to the plate in the ball game 7-1 braves top of the sixth inning and
06:33kelnic
06:33right field that's trouble bouncing around in the corner gloriano scores here comes with merrifield
06:43nine to one atlanta and kelnic sweeps the hand around into third base here's wisely giants still
06:51trailing nine to one but maybe a little small something that can come out of this game here's
06:55a base hit into right field wisely pulled it on through bailey's going to turn third and head
07:00home and he'll make it there without a throw wisely gets the rbi single and it's nine to two
07:06wisely's first hit of the night swing and a miss six strikeouts tonight for grant holmes as he gets
07:12through seven innings with the braves up seven to sean murphy murphy has walked ground to the third and
07:18fly down to the left deep to left see you later sean murphy two run homer and atlanta is in
07:26the double
07:27digits it's eleven to two and the giants have sent out right fielder mike yastrzemski to pitch
07:34what if michael goes deep with his second grand slam of the ball game wouldn't that be something in the
07:39first inning in the ninth inning no no grand slam there he is going to bring home marcelo zuna though
07:46to make it twelve to two laureato line it's it's a left i think that balanced yes and the braves
07:53are
07:53going to score another one rbi single by laureato and it's thirteen to two brains and there are two
07:58outs in the bottom of the nine this should do it riley over and the braves win after a couple
08:06of nail
08:07biters in games one and two of the series it's a blowout in game three thirteen to two is the
08:13final
