00:00:23hello baseball fans and welcome interleague baseball on mlb the show
00:00:28it's the tampa bay rays going up against the atlanta braves
00:00:36first pitch coming your way next
00:00:44and going for atlanta spencer schwellenbach and singe it's unique these days but he's more of a
00:00:51pitch to contact type of guy yeah boogie doesn't rely too heavily on the strikeout he knows he
00:00:57needs to miss barrels get some soft contact let the defense do work behind him and i think a guy
00:01:03like that can keep a good tempo don't give hitters time to adjust or think they can move through a
00:01:08ball game and you look off they're in line for a quality start we'll see what he's got in this
00:01:15way here's your one
00:01:19popped in the air left field one away
00:01:26all right let's take a look at the rays lineup this team collectively chris the bat to ball skills
00:01:32are outstanding they lead the league in total hits coming in yeah bug i wouldn't want to be a pitcher
00:01:37who's got to face this lineup i mean every spot in the order dangerous really professional hitters
00:01:43that walk to the dish i mean they just don't give away at bats ton of contact you know these
00:01:48fielders
00:01:48behind this pitcher they better be on their toes because the ball is going to be in play a whole
00:01:52lot yeah when the ball is in play at least from an offensive perspective eventually something good can
00:01:57happen
00:02:00and it's found away
00:02:07just getting started here at truest park outside atlanta
00:02:13goes down looking
00:02:19two down bases empty junior camonero next to hit for the rays
00:02:39and a base hit up the middle so a two-out knock keeps the inning alive
00:02:50batting for the dedicated hitter
00:03:01right through there for a strike this is a hitter who takes his game to another level playing at night
00:03:14batting for the fouls
00:03:14fouled off left side
00:03:20camonero the runner at first with two gone
00:03:27battling here as he fouls it away
00:03:37going to now that's a really good job of laying off the o2 high fastball is going to make that
00:03:44pitcher really have to respect this hitter even though he's behind in the count
00:03:50that misses the zone and now two balls and two strikes
00:04:00swing and a ball popped in the air
00:04:05they stopped the lead runner at second now two on with two outs that extends his hitting streak to
00:04:11an even dozen singing do opposing pitchers start to take notice when a guy's on a roll like this
00:04:16yeah I think so Boog it's not like it changes the scouting report on a guy or anything like that
00:04:22too much but you're aware of who's swinging the hottest bat and that's definitely him right now
00:04:26at the play Victor Mesa jr. in for a strike it's 0-1
00:04:34first and second two down here in the second game of the series
00:04:53next offering is foul back
00:05:04got him swinging it's a strikeout
00:05:08so the Rays strand a pair and now the Braves will get their first crack at it
00:05:13no score you're watching Tampa Bay ready to go for the last half of the inning
00:05:19and starting on the mound for the Rays Griffin Jacks and singing we were talking earlier about
00:05:25how he's doing a great job navigating through tough spots
00:05:29Mike Yastrzemski up here
00:05:31the left fielder number 18
00:05:32Mike Yastrzemski
00:05:480-2 now
00:05:50ground ball up the middle
00:05:53nice grab to first
00:05:55and very nicely done for the out
00:05:58here's the Atlanta Braves lineup
00:06:00it features a great veteran presence
00:06:02Jack Peterson
00:06:03yeah Boogie's hitting better than 300
00:06:05just doing a great job of putting the bat on the baseball
00:06:09you know he's seeing it well
00:06:10you know he's trusting his hands
00:06:12just seems to be like he's in a groove all the time
00:06:14and I know that's a great feeling
00:06:16I had it it stretches in my career
00:06:18but a big lift for his teammates to have a guy like this in the lineup
00:06:21here comes the 0-1
00:06:230-1
00:06:29this to third
00:06:31Caminero
00:06:33handles
00:06:34throws the first
00:06:35here tonight an efficient start to the home first
00:06:38two away
00:06:38the third baseman
00:06:40Austin
00:06:42Riley
00:06:42two outs
00:06:43base is empty
00:06:44here is Austin Riley
00:06:49oh great stop
00:06:50fires the first
00:06:52it's there
00:06:53and that's a great play
00:06:56scoreless after one
00:07:03we move ahead to the top of the second now
00:07:05and stepping in for the raise
00:07:07Johnny DeLuca
00:07:12DeLuca launched the homer in his most recent game
00:07:22Schwellenbach getting his 20th start of the year
00:07:26and he was a second round pick in 2021
00:07:33the 0-2
00:07:37lined into right
00:07:38White takes it in for the out
00:07:41one down
00:07:42that is done
00:07:43the Georgia
00:07:44Taylor
00:07:46wall
00:07:58right through there for a strike
00:08:00looks like he's just sizing him up there
00:08:01really good pitch to hit
00:08:03but he took it all the way
00:08:04sometimes guys just want to set their timing
00:08:06later on in the game
00:08:08that may be a pitch that he turns on
00:08:10this ball's chopped on the ground
00:08:12takes it himself
00:08:13two up two down at the top of the second
00:08:16batting in
00:08:17the catcher number 40
00:08:19Nick
00:08:19two down base is empty
00:08:21and now the catcher for the raise
00:08:23Nick Fortes
00:08:24three hits last night
00:08:26so he was a big factor in getting that win
00:08:38in the air fairly deep to right field
00:08:41White drops steps heads back on it
00:08:43pulls it down and he makes the catch
00:08:46and that is that
00:08:47we'll go to the bottom of the second
00:08:49no score
00:08:54bottom of the inning
00:08:55so now to the plate for Atlanta
00:08:57Michael Harris the second
00:08:58Michael Harris the second
00:09:00Michael Harris the second
00:09:05Michael Harris the second
00:09:05That one is hammered right field
00:09:07that's got a chance
00:09:10it's pulls it in on the warning
00:09:12track batting fit the second
00:09:17baseman Harvey all these went
00:09:27deep in his most recent game not
00:09:33showing great command so far in
00:09:35this at bat to account he's got
00:09:37to execute here or this could get
00:09:39ugly hard ground ball based on so a
00:09:43man aboard now with one away well
00:09:46patience and discipline paid off
00:09:47right there as he got into an
00:09:49advantage count there's nothing cheap
00:09:50about the way he got that one through
00:09:52the infield that was ripped cut out in
00:09:54front and didn't get under it like he
00:09:56would have liked but definitely put a
00:09:57good swing on it Joey Bart in now takes
00:10:01ball one off the plate just not able to
00:10:05catch up to that velocity here's a
00:10:16swing and a drive left field and he knew
00:10:24a two-run blast the great score first
00:10:29it's two nothing his plan was to hit the
00:10:33ball hard and he was gonna figure out the
00:10:35rest later you can't argue with those
00:10:45results looks like this guy was looking
00:10:47out over the plate but he was ready to
00:10:49turn on the inside fastball so direct to
00:10:52the pitch absolutely blasted out of this
00:10:55ballpark
00:11:04two runs across in the inning bottom half
00:11:07of inning number two
00:11:14that one ripped right center field
00:11:17carrying well
00:11:18they do it again back-to-back homers
00:11:26and they add to their lead it's three
00:11:44back-to-back homers always a special
00:11:46feeling at the ballpark especially if
00:11:48it's your team that does it and those
00:11:50guys get to slap hands at home plate
00:11:52this is the kind of thing that can
00:11:53really fire up a ballpark
00:12:01next offering is down low
00:12:07swing and a ground ball but it kicks
00:12:10foul and I want to got him swinging I'll
00:12:17love to see guys compete and I know he's
00:12:19frustrated that he wasn't able to do
00:12:20anything with that pitch you see it so
00:12:22well but you have to respect the upper
00:12:2490s velocity and it is hard to catch up
00:12:27to Mauricio Dubon the next to hit takes
00:12:30ball one
00:12:32check swing he held up that's ball two
00:12:40slapped foul
00:12:45two down nobody on fouls one off two and
00:12:50two
00:12:55that's foul off to the right side keeps
00:12:57the AB going
00:13:01comes a 2-2
00:13:17struck him out swinging he didn't make
00:13:20it easy for him on the mound but they
00:13:22still get the strikeout but two round
00:13:25trippers in this inning the long ball
00:13:27was working it's now three nothing
00:13:35back at Truist Park and stepping in for
00:13:38the Rays Yadar Aranamo
00:13:45Aranamo
00:13:46this guy's got a great feel for his
00:13:48breaking ball today
00:13:54chopped left side Riley to first lead
00:14:00off man retired here in the third up
00:14:03next for Tampa Bay the left fielder
00:14:05Chandler Simpson
00:14:15in there for a strike at the bottom of
00:14:17the zone
00:14:18Chris he's currently the team leader in
00:14:20stolen bases
00:14:24that's a strike 0-2
00:14:26well he's gotten ahead with two pitches
00:14:28down in the zone he has plenty of
00:14:30options right here he can go up he can
00:14:32go away he can add velocity he can
00:14:34subtract
00:14:40field two
00:14:44to the right side
00:14:45oh he gloves it onto the pitcher
00:14:48nicely done for the out
00:14:51well it's a great decision to go ahead
00:14:53and dive and stop that ball nice little
00:14:55flip to the pitcher covering those those
00:14:57PFPs pitchers fielding plays
00:15:00two outs base is empty so next to the
00:15:03plate for Tampa Bay Jonathan Aranda and
00:15:07there's a curve through for a strike
00:15:22laser could be trouble around first heading for two and he's in there standing up with a two out double
00:15:32up next for Tampa Bay so much a good hitting is finding holes in the defense that's why you're always
00:15:37thinking line drive into the gap those kinds of swings really boost your confidence
00:15:50now
00:15:51now this one gets away from the catcher
00:15:55Aranda up to third on the wild pitch
00:15:57well that right there can be a tough read as a runner on second to see if the ball has
00:16:02gotten away enough to move to third you have
00:16:04to be sure you can make it because you're already in scoring position well he was sure there and now
00:16:09he's only 90 feet away from scoring
00:16:28now a pop up on the infield
00:16:35and that is that
00:16:39the Rays strand just the one still down 3-0
00:16:46welcome back as we take a check of the current standing
00:16:58no
00:17:05he's just missing with some pitches that I mean those are they're not strikes and that's what you think all
00:17:10good pitches a strike but so many times pitchers are trying to tease the zone and the last two pitches
00:17:15that he's thrown good pitches but even better takes in there at the knee
00:17:23keeps
00:17:23keeps the impact going with a foul ball
00:17:29here's a 2-2
00:17:53here's a 2-2
00:17:55just missed
00:17:55sometimes being lucky is a swing and miss if he makes contact with that pitch probably hits into a double
00:18:01play
00:18:02but
00:18:07you're strength to get his lead at first with nobody out
00:18:11high fly ball out towards left field
00:18:13that one carrying
00:18:15gone
00:18:20Matt Olsen goes deep
00:18:22his 28th
00:18:24home run of the season
00:18:25and they add a couple more
00:18:26it's 5-0
00:18:35no
00:18:35no matter how this outing ends
00:18:37that pitch is going to haunt him for a while
00:18:39an 0-2 mistake
00:18:41that's supposed to be a pitch out of the zone
00:18:43he left it in the spot that the hitter could do some damage with
00:18:46and that's exactly what he did
00:18:48here's Austin Riley
00:18:57he swings and fouls one off
00:19:01nobody on nobody out
00:19:02a pair of runs across in the inning
00:19:04here in the last half of the third
00:19:11the other way and he beats the shift
00:19:19up next to the Braves
00:19:21the center fielder
00:19:22Michael Harris the 2nd
00:19:27that one fouled off
00:19:29you know these Braves
00:19:30did a great job Boog
00:19:31of just waiting for the right pitch to come their way
00:19:34and I'm seeing very patient at bats out of him
00:19:36not only have they already put up a bunch of runs on the board
00:19:39but they've also made the starter work really hard out there
00:19:43that was just a great jump and route to the ball
00:19:45well it had to be
00:19:46he was going to cover all that ground
00:19:48and bring in that sinking liner
00:19:49that's the way it had to be done
00:19:51nice job
00:19:52Albies
00:19:53takes a ball as he stands in for the second time
00:19:57and on the mound
00:19:58they've got to start working ahead
00:20:00focusing on strike one
00:20:01it's the best pitch in baseball
00:20:03falling behind and being forced to challenge
00:20:05is never where you want to be as a pitcher
00:20:08on the ground right side
00:20:09the flip
00:20:10there's one
00:20:11what a double play that was
00:20:14inning over
00:20:15Braves pick up two on the long ball
00:20:18and the lead is now five nothing
00:20:25back here at the ballpark
00:20:26let's check out the latest news from around the league
00:20:41beyond the
00:20:42well he's looking great so far
00:20:43it helps with over 80% of your first pitches or strikes
00:20:46he might be able to go the distance if he keeps this up
00:20:50this one popped up
00:20:53Olsen moving under it
00:20:56takes it in for the out
00:20:57that was a good pitch to hit right down the heart of the plate
00:21:00had pretty good timing on it
00:21:02just got underneath it a little bit and popped it up
00:21:03the right fielder Victor Mesa jr.
00:21:21up the middle
00:21:23all these
00:21:25tosses to first
00:21:26two quick outs here in the top of the fourth
00:21:29up next for Tampa Bay
00:21:31the center fielder
00:21:32Johnny
00:21:33DeLuca
00:21:34so up next
00:21:35Johnny DeLuca
00:21:36he's over one
00:21:38this guy's just a tremendously talented center fielder
00:21:41gold glove caliber type out there
00:21:43offensively he can do some things but
00:21:45he'll also has some streakiness as well
00:21:47I think the key
00:21:48just trying to find a way for him to be consistent day in and day out
00:21:51you know he saves runs in the outfield
00:21:53so that's gonna buy him more time to work things out at the dish
00:21:56flares it into the outfield
00:21:58a dive
00:21:59and he can't haul it in
00:22:03around second now as they still don't have it
00:22:06and he makes it all the way to third with a two out triple
00:22:10nice line drive to the pull side right there but he didn't spin off of it
00:22:14that's the key
00:22:15you still have to extend the baseball in order to hit a line drive like that
00:22:19could be a chance here for them to start clawing back into this ballgame
00:22:53here's the 0-2
00:22:56right side
00:22:59and he has thrown four shutout innings
00:23:02one left for Tampa
00:23:03it's 5-0
00:23:10welcome back as we take a peek at the starting pitching so far this year
00:23:15you're taking my time fast money is lit
00:23:17show me why you're fine
00:23:19don't waste no time just shift that waistline
00:23:22you know who I am
00:23:28swing and a miss there's the changeup
00:23:34you know who I am
00:23:43you know who I am
00:23:49you know who I am
00:24:01the 0-2
00:24:05check swing now it appealed to third
00:24:07he did not go around
00:24:10bart gets his lead at first nobody out
00:24:14smoke to right center and this one's gonna go out of here
00:24:22another homer his second home run of the game and they throw a pair on the board it's 7-0
00:24:42the heart sinker can be a pretty tough pitch because of the late life and movement but
00:24:46somehow he got the barrel to that pitch stayed through it really nice job of staying on the
00:24:51backside until it was time to transfer that weight a really nice home run now it's the right fielder
00:24:57Eli White just missed off the mark there and it's 2-0 that one to first Aranda he'll do it
00:25:14himself
00:25:15one away that ground ball may have him back on track after the homer
00:25:19not shortstop Mauricio Dubois
00:25:33oh
00:25:34oh
00:25:39towards first Aranda and he takes it himself for the out good fade and sinking action of that
00:25:46changeup got that hitter to roll over back to the leadoff spot in the Braves lineup Mike
00:25:52Yastrzemski the second MLB yes steps in no that's a ball
00:26:04this is empty two away but two runs are in if we're here at the bottom of the fourth
00:26:08worm burner into the outfield for a knock and that keeps the inning going
00:26:17we've all seen the defensive shift make a big difference in defending against pole hitters but
00:26:22it's not foolproof he pulled it as expected but he found a hole that time
00:26:32that one to first and it goes just foul
00:26:40rip to right base in throw stops the lead runner at second two on and two out
00:26:48for the Braves the third baseman Austin Riley at the plate
00:27:00no nobody on his team has been better at driving in runs this season singing
00:27:08swings through that one for strike two see if he can go upstairs a little bit make
00:27:13sure you miss up and out of the zone since you're heading to count one two don't
00:27:17miss in the zone because that's where you get hurt fights it off you'll see
00:27:21another
00:27:24two on two outs spoils the two strike pitch and he'll see another the one two and
00:27:34it's fouled off they'll do it again
00:27:43got him swinging for the K they limit the damage here Braves pick up two on the
00:27:49long ball onto the top of the fifth we go this is Rays baseball on the show
00:27:54Florida
00:27:58back here in Atlanta and now the catcher for the Rays Nick Fortes
00:28:07Fortes
00:28:07well every pitcher wants to run support and having a lead is nice but it can be
00:28:12challenging for some pitchers I think keeping the mindset to attack instead of
00:28:16trying to be too fine and have too much finesse go after hitters and get quick
00:28:21outs
00:28:28comes up empty that strike two well he went inside a couple of times and now
00:28:33outside hitters not exactly sure where to look for this next pitch good location
00:28:39good take sometimes you want the hitter to prove he can lay off that pitch
00:28:47struck him out without a swing and he's registered three K's in this one and
00:28:54here's a look at how he's using his pitches in this one
00:29:00up next for Tampa Bay the second baseman Yadder are a Namo
00:29:23line to second snagged on the bounce and they get the out I wasn't sure if he was going to
00:29:30get to this one or not had to go a pretty good way there in the shallow right field but
00:29:34then after that it's a tough hitter to get to get to this one or not
00:29:36angle after you square up your shoulders to throw to first base not the normal position but a really good
00:29:41job defensively right there
00:29:43now it's going to be
00:29:44Chandler Simpson
00:29:51two down nobody on and we're at the top of the fifth
00:29:58right through there for a strike goodness I think he just took the best pitch
00:30:02he's going to see in this at bat you don't get many like that in that location I
00:30:06don't know if you take that pitch against any pitcher out there in the mound
00:30:09rips one to right
00:30:11and that'll do it
00:30:14still nothing on the scoreboard for him after five
00:30:17you're watching Tampa Bay Rays baseball on the show Florida
00:30:25back in Atlanta Truist Park now into the Braves Michael Harris the second
00:30:36now picking for the raise number they go to the bullpen cam booster still pretty
00:30:42early in the ball game so this bullpen has some work ahead of them best case
00:30:46scenario might be if he can come in here and get several quick outs kind of bridge
00:30:51the gap that starter left for him you know these Braves putting together some
00:30:54really good at bats in this game there's been a lot to like with how they're
00:30:58approaching their chances at the plate so far they have six hits in the counts
00:31:02where the pitcher has had the advantage so it hasn't been easy for them but they're
00:31:06finding a way to get it done
00:31:13out to short
00:31:17fires over to first and that's the first out at the bottom of the fifth
00:31:21the batter number one second baseman
00:31:23Ozzy
00:31:25Olby
00:31:31that's the ball
00:31:32so with that fastball approach in mind it'll be interesting to see if we see
00:31:36any adjustments in terms of the pitch calling and clearly there's been a need
00:31:40to mix it up a little bit more than they have
00:31:42all right now Mo
00:31:44tosses to first
00:31:45all that for the fifth inning moving along two quick outs
00:31:49up next for the Braves
00:31:52the catcher
00:31:53Joey
00:31:53two down bases empty
00:31:55here's the catcher
00:31:57Joey Barth
00:31:58just missed
00:32:04and there's a foul ball
00:32:11fought off foul
00:32:20two down nobody on
00:32:22ground ball left side
00:32:25and that is that
00:32:27Braves are set down one two three but they're still in control it's seven nothing
00:32:36we're back with a look at key moments so far in this one
00:32:40do I have to wait for your phone
00:32:42or I can say that you're gone
00:32:48won't you let me know
00:32:53I'm in an awful state baby
00:32:57you said to love me so
00:33:11leading off Jonathan Aranda the first baseman number eight Jonathan Aranda
00:33:17Aranda
00:33:27that one finds the zone and that strike one
00:33:49out towards right center field
00:33:52and there's one away
00:33:53up next for Tampa Bay
00:33:55the third baseman number 13
00:33:57junior
00:33:58coming out
00:34:00all
00:34:00out towards right center field
00:34:13that curveball has been a big pitch for him today he's been able to get ahead
00:34:16in the count with it he's also been able to use it to put guys away
00:34:22strike two I think it was sitting off speed right there because he just let the fastball go by
00:34:33cuts out it and misses that's a strikeout and that's four strikeouts
00:34:42two outs bases empty
00:34:44Yandy Diaz now
00:34:46one for two
00:34:47in an RBI base hit back in the first
00:35:08and a base hit
00:35:10Joey gets on base it keeps it going
00:35:16up next for Tampa Bay
00:35:17I could watch base hits like that one all day long and so could every hitting coach in the league
00:35:22just a nice line drive into center field
00:35:29ball one no strikes
00:35:35Diaz leads off first with two down to the inning
00:35:43lift it in the air right center field
00:35:46it'll play it on a bounce
00:35:49they stopped the lead runner at second
00:35:52now two odd with two hours
00:35:54digging in Johnny DeLuca one for two
00:36:13the
00:36:130-1
00:36:15and that gets the top of the zone for a strike
00:36:18and a bat like this is almost over as it begins in this situation you have no idea what the
00:36:24next pitch is going to be you just got to hope that you can make contact
00:36:28caught it looking for the K
00:36:32make it six shutout innings for him out there now
00:36:35this is Rays baseball on the show Florida
00:36:43now Jack Peterson he's got a couple homers already so can he possibly do it again
00:36:48come on man of course he can those two he hit were legit and he looks pretty locked in right
00:36:53now at the dish
00:36:55oh
00:37:02got it started a little too early strike one man that was pretty gross right there
00:37:10on the ground
00:37:12now
00:37:12Aranamo
00:37:13gets it to first
00:37:14lead off man retired in the sixth
00:37:17up next for the Braves
00:37:19the right fielder
00:37:20Eli
00:37:22white
00:37:26oh
00:37:35and that one fouled off
00:37:40the Braves up big in this one here in the bottom of the sixth swing and a miss that is
00:37:46strike two
00:37:52good job to fight that one off
00:38:01well
00:38:11swings through it and that's a strikeout good pitch right there I mean he's attacking a location that this guy
00:38:18at the plate tends to have trouble with man there's just so much information in this day and a
00:38:28sometimes too much information but the guys that can take that information process it and then go out there Boog
00:38:34and execute the pitch go right after that hitter and get the result that they were anticipating
00:38:39that's really good pitching right there and it's a good job of the pitcher and the catcher working together
00:38:46chew down nobody on
00:38:48he missed the zone but I don't think he missed his spot that was a good pitch with two strikes
00:38:55get on the ground at the middle that's a base hit
00:38:59so the two out back extends the inning and sends them back to the top of the order
00:39:03up next for the Braves
00:39:05the left fielder
00:39:06third time through the order now
00:39:08now the leadoff spot for the Braves
00:39:10Mike Yastrzemski
00:39:20Andy 0-1
00:39:22tap foul at the plate
00:39:31now fly ball to right center
00:39:33DeLuca on the move
00:39:35and that is that
00:39:38so one hit is all they get
00:39:40we're through six full
00:39:42it's the Braves seven
00:39:43the Rays nothing
00:39:46back here at a blowout which gives us a chance to talk about
00:39:56just about anything
00:39:57bro don't get me fired
00:39:59seeing you one of the biggest ways the game has changed bullpen arms
00:40:03so many elite level bullpen arms
00:40:06yeah and I'm glad I'm not playing anymore
00:40:08I mean it's just a nightmare
00:40:10and that door swings open out of the bullpen
00:40:13you know what's coming in is 95 and above with at least one nasty pitch
00:40:18the 1-1
00:40:22swing and a ground their foul first base side
00:40:26the other component is you get less viewings of a specific pitcher
00:40:31so your ability to go to school on one guy
00:40:35you maybe get two looks at him and then he's gone
00:40:38yeah and I mean these guys utilize the iPads and try to see previous footage of that pitcher
00:40:43but it's just not the same as having an actual look
00:40:46oh that got away from him
00:40:48and he's gonna reach on a hit by pitch to lead off the inning
00:40:52Nick Fortes next to hit for the Rays
00:40:55Fortes hitting better against right handers this year
00:40:58so some reverse splits there
00:41:02fastball for a strike at 95
00:41:16next offering is fouled back
00:41:18next offering is fouled back
00:41:32well I think that's a case of overthinking right there
00:41:35you got three straight fastballs looking in the 0-2 count
00:41:40Ian Hamilton will take over here
00:41:42and compared to a lot of other relievers
00:41:45strikeouts have not been a big weapon for him this year
00:41:48so the defense should be active
00:41:56up next for Tampa Bay
00:41:58the second baseman Yoder
00:42:01Arendamu
00:42:14the Rays with a lot of ground to make up
00:42:17here at the top half of inning number seven
00:42:22crowded to third
00:42:23could be two over to Albies
00:42:25and that's quick work out of the pen
00:42:27one batter two outs
00:42:29inning over
00:42:30this one pretty well decided at this point
00:42:33seventh inning stretch time
00:42:35it's the Braves seven the Rays nothing
00:42:37you're watching Tampa Bay Rays baseball on the show Florida
00:42:44now pitching for the
00:42:45so they turn to Craig Kimbrel
00:42:47and he's done a great job keeping the ball in the park this year
00:42:51the numbers stack up with some of the best in the game
00:42:54here's Matt Olsen
00:42:55he's already homered in this game
00:42:57the first baseman
00:42:58Matt
00:43:00Olsen
00:43:04up
00:43:11that's a ball
00:43:20that one back up the middle and it gets through
00:43:24solo runner aboard to start the inning
00:43:27Having himself a really nice game at the plate.
00:43:30He wasn't able to elevate it, but he put a great swing on it right on time.
00:43:35Good, balanced approach, and just blasted it through the infield.
00:43:39Strike!
00:43:39Woo!
00:43:47That's the ball.
00:43:52Olsen aboard here at first with nobody out.
00:43:55On the ground, a short could be two.
00:43:58They get one.
00:44:00On to first double play.
00:44:01They made that double play look so easy, but it was far from routine.
00:44:05That's the one thing about big leaguers.
00:44:07They make tough plays look simple.
00:44:09And next will be the cleanup hitter, Michael Harris the second.
00:44:130 for 3 in this one.
00:44:22And that's in there at the knees for a strike.
00:44:33Ball.
00:44:42Swings through that one for strike two.
00:44:49Two down, nobody on.
00:44:50Here at the bottom of the seven.
00:44:54That's a strikeout.
00:44:55Good-looking sweeper there.
00:44:58And the Braves go down quietly.
00:45:00And they hold a 7-0 lead.
00:45:06Back at Truist Park.
00:45:08Here's the Rays leadoff hitter, Chandler Simpson.
00:45:17Movement in the bullpen.
00:45:18Danny Young.
00:45:19The left-handed reliever appears to be getting loose.
00:45:22Montgomery getting loose as well.
00:45:27That catches the top part of the zone.
00:45:29And it's nothing in two.
00:45:31Well, don't expect too many more high fastballs.
00:45:33This is a good sinker ball pitcher.
00:45:34And sometimes they can make mistakes trying to pitch up in the zone.
00:45:37Work for them to stay down around the knees to be effective.
00:45:41Strike three called and a slider at the knees.
00:45:43Didn't agree with the call at the plate right there.
00:45:46But again, a game like this, that's just too close to take.
00:45:49It's a blowout game.
00:45:50Guys have been out here for a while.
00:45:52Umpires saying, hey, let's go.
00:45:53Cut it loose.
00:45:55Swing the bat.
00:45:59Wouldn't you say in today's game of baseball, though, it's changed a little bit.
00:46:04The umpires, even in a blowout, seem to be more cognizant of the fact that they're being judged.
00:46:10So you don't get as many of those fringy type blowout calls as maybe you did, you know, back in
00:46:16the old days when you played.
00:46:17100%.
00:46:17I mean, the analytics are there.
00:46:19And also hitters aren't willing to give up at a bat regardless of the score.
00:46:24Ask Fernando Tatis Jr.
00:46:33This one chopped up the middle.
00:46:36On the run, throw to first.
00:46:38But it's not in time.
00:46:39Base hit.
00:46:40Up next for Tampa Bay, the third baseman, number 13, Junior Caminero.
00:46:55One out man at first.
00:46:57Junior Caminero will hit next.
00:47:00Three-pitch strikeout last time up.
00:47:02Got to put up more of a fight in this one.
00:47:13He'll want right through there for a strike.
00:47:16He must have been looking for something else because he gave up on that pitch a little early.
00:47:19It was right down Main Street.
00:47:21Probably not going to see a better pitch to hit in this at bat.
00:47:25Inside.
00:47:26Almost got him.
00:47:27Straighten him up a little bit.
00:47:30Man at first, one away.
00:47:38And he'll do it again.
00:47:46One-two.
00:47:48This guy's a fun guy to watch taking it bad.
00:47:50He just battles up there.
00:47:52He doesn't take a pitch off at all.
00:47:54Makes it so difficult on the pitchers out there.
00:47:56You can tell they get frustrated with how long it takes to put him away.
00:48:00Goes down, swinging for the strikeout.
00:48:03Tied him up on a fastball inside.
00:48:05Boogie just ran out of patience there.
00:48:07He took a couple of pitches to even that count up at two balls and two strikes.
00:48:11But that time, chased outside the zone.
00:48:14Here comes the skipper.
00:48:15And we're going to see a pitching change in this spot.
00:48:18Ian Hamilton, done for the night.
00:48:20We'll be back in a minute with a new arm on the mound.
00:48:26They turn things over to the southpaw, Danny Young.
00:48:29Should be a good first matchup for him here.
00:48:32He's been doing a great job against right-handed bats so far this season.
00:48:35They've had a lot of trouble squaring him up.
00:48:38He's been doing a great job against right-handed bats so far.
00:49:08you'll one ripped but it curls foul
00:49:26stays alive the Braves up big in this one and we're in the top of the eighth
00:49:39way inside
00:49:53blind in the left center should be extra bases
00:50:00Aranda coming home the relay he'll score and they're on the board but lots of
00:50:07ground to make up that comes through with the RBI as a hitter there's not a lot
00:50:11better of a feeling than a double into the gap right off the bat you know you
00:50:15put a great swing on the baseball so two down now up for Tampa Bay Victor Mesa
00:50:21jr. one for three
00:50:43next offering in there for a strike strike one
00:50:54man it's second up the middle base hit into the outfield rounds third headed for
00:51:02the plate he will score it's an RBI single it's 72
00:51:30the lefty the one on young thirty one years old and he was drafted by the
00:51:36second in the eighth round back in 2015
00:51:42the 1-1 foul ball there
00:52:00on the ground to the left
00:52:01no no no no no that's foul that's foul
00:52:12the 1-2
00:52:26that one just misses just missing off the plate there according to the umpire and
00:52:31out there on the mound maybe trying to get an explanation can't say he's
00:52:35convinced but it looks like he's accepted it
00:52:38and a base hit right there and out to a board
00:52:47there comes a skipper out of the dugout and he's ready to make the move Danny Young gives way and
00:52:54the line not closed on him yet as he's responsible for the runners on base back with a new pitcher
00:52:59after this
00:53:02now picking
00:53:03now picking left hander out of the bullpen Jordan Montgomery
00:53:06he's always had trouble at times keeping the ball in the park this season something to keep in mind here
00:53:12so digging in Taylor Walls
00:53:21and that drops in for a strike
00:53:34no catcher challenge we'll take another look
00:53:40so the call stands still one challenge left for them
00:53:46Mesa on second DeLuca at first two out of the inning
00:53:53and now two balls and a strike
00:53:54could be some action here on this next pitch couple runners on probably a challenge pitch coming
00:54:03two and one now
00:54:06lifted in the air left field pretty well struck
00:54:10and that'll do it
00:54:12so it's two runs on four hits
00:54:14no errors and a couple left off
00:54:17home half of inning number eight straight ahead
00:54:20back here in Atlanta
00:54:22what have you got?
00:55:10now to the plate for Atlanta
00:55:12Ozzy Obis
00:55:15Obis
00:55:17no
00:55:24out towards right center field
00:55:27it falls in and that's a knock
00:55:30and a good start to the inning
00:55:32up there for the brave
00:55:35the catcher
00:55:36Jerry
00:55:37Mark
00:55:52you know what all these on the move swing and a miss
00:55:57through save that's his goal and miss
00:56:00clearly not content with the lead they're working with right now and I like that
00:56:03I don't think you can get comfortable with the five run lead in today's game and now they've got a
00:56:08good chance of adding on
00:56:10runner and scoring position nobody out here the bottom half of the eighth inning
00:56:17battling here as he fouls it away
00:56:25this one in the air center field
00:56:29DeLuca takes it in for the out and there's one down
00:56:34up next for the brave
00:56:36the designated hitter number four
00:56:39so now with one away and a man at second and Jack Peterson stands in
00:56:47in for the
00:57:0312
00:57:04it's a one-to-one
00:57:06it's way and get a ground ball and foul ball
00:57:13the one-two swing and a ball lifted left field Simpson moving back for this one
00:57:21brings it in runner tags at second and he's up to third safely with two gone
00:57:28up next for the brave the right fielder Eli
00:57:38drilled in the air out towards right center DeLuca long run on his horse pulls it down and he makes
00:57:45the catch that is the inning one left for Atlanta but they're still on top seven to two all set
00:57:54to
00:57:54start the ninth in this one and stepping in for the Rays for Nick Fortes
00:58:05oh movement in the Atlanta bullpen Raysal Iglesias the hard-throwing right he is up
00:58:10and loosening Kinley also throwing right through there for a strike
00:58:32and that one is lifted in the air
00:58:36one up on down
00:58:40up next to Tampa Bay the second baseman the honor
00:59:07swing and a miss and that strike two one down base is empty here in the ninth
00:59:16hit on the ground to short Dubong throws the first in time
00:59:25up next for Tampa Bay the left fielder Chandler last chance for the Rays so next to the plate for
00:59:31Tampa Bay Chandler Simpson went down looking on three pitches last time let's see if it can be a
00:59:38little more aggressive right here
00:59:49oh
00:59:51he's been ranking in recent games and a big reason why getting ahead and counts he's been able to do
00:59:57that consistently and you see the results
01:00:04fouls one off out of play back to our left
01:00:14two down nobody on they're down to their final strike
01:00:27hit to second and this should do it on the first ball game and the Braves even this series up
01:00:35in a game of peace these hitters had the long ball working for him today four home runs had a
01:00:41lot to do with them coming out on top seven to your final here today for Chris Singleton and our
01:00:47entire crew I'm John
01:00:47John Chambi saying so long
01:00:57Let's go.
01:01:46Oh
