00:01Giants the home whites and the A's the road grays on this Wednesday night.
00:05Pinder it's a deep drive to left.
00:07Ruff is going back at the track.
00:09Turning around at the wall.
00:11He'll turn and watch it flop.
00:14And Chad Pinder welcome back.
00:16Leads off the game with a home run.
00:19Paul Blackburn is 2-0 after three starts in a 180 ERA.
00:23And the 2-2 pitch is taken.
00:26Ring him up at the knees.
00:27Fastball in the outside corner.
00:29Giants go down in the first.
00:31And after one it's 1-0 athletics.
00:331-0 Oakland.
00:34That is in jeopardy.
00:36Peterson at first.
00:37Casale at second.
00:38Bossler at third.
00:40The 2-1.
00:40It's pulled to first base.
00:41Brown picks it up.
00:42Goes to second for one.
00:43Back to first goes Elvis.
00:45The stretch by Blackburn.
00:46And it's in time.
00:48The A's turn it.
00:49It goes 3-6-1.
00:51And Blackburn escapes the trouble in the bottom of the third.
00:56Boston Slater is now coming to this game in center field.
00:59So hopefully Jack Peterson is okay.
01:02Well Jack Peterson is at first base.
01:03Let's take a look at his path.
01:05He was getting out of the way of the throw.
01:07I don't know if that caused him to pull up and get a little gippy.
01:10I don't know.
01:10I may have been.
01:13He's getting out of the way of the throw.
01:13Runner goes.
01:14Kemp hits one in the right center field.
01:16The base hit.
01:17And with Elvis Andres on the move he's going to go to third.
01:21So a little hit and run action puts the A's in business.
01:24Runners at the corners.
01:25Big spot in this game.
01:27A's lead 1-0.
01:28He's got a good thing.
01:28And they picked off Tony Kamm.
01:30Unbelievable.
01:33That is unbelievable how it changes the inning.
01:40He lifted that right foot up.
01:42He's out.
01:43Yeah.
01:43I think so.
01:45Ahead of the count 1 to 2.
01:46two and he got him strike three
01:50wow what a great job got pitch
01:53calm all worked out got to pick
01:55off worked out and then the
01:56strikeout to finish him off
02:00Gonzalez down the right field
02:02line and that is a fair ball
02:04yes one hop into the corner
02:07Scott he's got the big arm but
02:09not close Gonzalez lead off
02:11double
02:16back up got it looks at second
02:18now he's got to throw quickly to
02:20first and they just get Estrada
02:22and they hold the runner at
02:23second and that's a swing and a
02:26soft speed Boston chased it so
02:28that's four strikeouts for all
02:31Blackburn noise he's got it as he
02:36straightens up the throw across
02:37and it dug out by Brown at first
02:42so Blackburn again escapes a jam
02:44sixth inning coming up still one
02:47nothing the A's lead it's all
02:49right-hander comes to the plate and
02:51it's swung on a one hopper a diving
02:53play by Tony Kemp gets a first and
02:56it's dug out by Brown a
02:58magnificent play by Tony Kemp in the
03:01shift playing left a second went to
03:04the backhand side parallel to the
03:06ground spirited got up fired to
03:09first for the out as the A's flash
03:14to left field this is going to be
03:16a tough play for Ruffer
03:17Crawford Crawford likes this play
03:19and he makes it remember the one
03:23he made an open where he ran late
03:24forever yeah look like Fred
03:27political and I think your first
03:30step is the key to a play like
03:31this wide drive right center base
03:35hit and it's not going to get cut
03:37off watch Pache run he's headed for
03:40second hits the bag he's headed for
03:42third and he's going to make it
03:44easily there's triples alley folks
03:47once it gets past the right fielder
03:50it's almost always a triple right at
03:58the right fielder got to make a pitch
04:06here for Zach Jackson here he goes
04:08and it's a swing and a miss he went
04:11off speed so a huge strikeout by
04:15Jackson and keeps the Giants off
04:19the board for another inning we're
04:20headed to the eighth one nothing
04:28Aisley how about that at bat 0 2 to
04:31a walk and it's a leadoff walk and
04:35now it's a full count he's not
04:37running and that is a swing and a
04:39miss 95 miles an hour later bounces
04:44one up the middle of a Sanders

05:01inning coming up he's one giant
05:03snow and the ball will be in the
05:05hands of Danny Jimenez who's got
05:07three saves and three opportunities
05:09this year to pitch bounce slowly
05:11Jimenez has got to get over there
05:13and he does it now the race to the
05:14bag and he's safe
05:20you could tell it was going to be an
05:22issue right away because Danny
05:25Jimenez did not get over there no
05:28Brownie looking for the feet
05:29Jimenez nobody home and it was
05:32close well they might take a look
