00:00:30Taking on the Tampa Bay Rays.
00:00:35First pitch coming at you right after the break.
00:00:42And towing the slab in this one, Griffin Jacks.
00:00:46Chris, how about a scouting report?
00:00:48Well, I'm interested to see how he utilizes his sinker to this lineup, Boog.
00:00:51You know, it's not necessarily his go-to primary pitch, but he does mix it in when he needs it.
00:00:56He's just got to make sure that it's not flat.
00:00:58Otherwise, it's going to get hit hard.
00:01:00So, look for him to throw it up there when he needs a big double play, a ground ball,
00:01:03something like that to get out of an inning, change it up for a hitter.
00:01:07Also, get those hitters looking down so that it opens up the top of the strike zone,
00:01:12especially late in and at bat.
00:01:14Here's a 1-1.
00:01:28That's ball two.
00:01:37And a foul ball.
00:01:38He stays alive.
00:01:43The 2-2.
00:01:45And that's downed away.
00:01:53That one ripped left field.
00:01:58Carrying well.
00:01:59See you later.
00:02:03The first batter of the game leaves the yard.
00:02:07And a Red Sox jump in front.
00:02:09It's one zip.
00:02:10He really needed that swing.
00:02:12He hasn't been getting a ton of results at the plate lately, so I'm sure that one felt especially good.
00:02:18Well, we see this so much more today.
00:02:20Lineups with Pop in the leadoff spot.
00:02:22And it really puts the pitcher in a tough spot out there where he has to execute right away.
00:02:27You can't just get over a couple of strikes to settle in and get comfortable.
00:02:32Because at the plate, that guy's looking to do exactly what he just did.
00:02:35Start the game off with a huge bang.
00:02:39The real threats are coming up.
00:02:41Already giving up a home run in this inning.
00:02:43He's going to really have to bear down.
00:02:501-2 down.
00:02:54And foul ball.
00:02:56Always exciting to see a leadoff home run in an inning.
00:02:59Kind of gets the offense fired up, and you start to expect a big inning.
00:03:03Smoked on the ground a second.
00:03:051-0.
00:03:05That ground ball may have him back on track after the homer.
00:03:09Check out the Red Sox lineup.
00:03:11Been a real struggle this year.
00:03:13They're at the very bottom of the league at on base percentage.
00:03:16And, of course, when that's the case, other offensive categories follow suit, Singy.
00:03:20Yeah, it's really tough for any team that struggles to get on base.
00:03:24Dramatic home runs and base clearing hits do more for a team than just change the score.
00:03:29Good teams feed off that stuff.
00:03:33Walls.
00:03:35Tosses across the first.
00:03:38Play is made.
00:03:39Two out.
00:03:40Batting fourth.
00:03:41First baseman, Tristan Casas.
00:03:44Two down.
00:03:45Base is empty.
00:03:46Now batting Tristan Casas.
00:03:51And that is downstairs.
00:03:53And that's ball one.
00:03:58That clears the corner.
00:03:59It was a good changeup to hit up in the zone.
00:04:01I don't think he recognized it.
00:04:03I'm sure he'd love to have that one back.
00:04:06Check.
00:04:06Swing called strike.
00:04:08Now one or two.
00:04:15Nope.
00:04:17That's inside.
00:04:20That's inside.
00:04:24Fly ball down the line.
00:04:29And it slices foul.
00:04:31But it had the distance.
00:04:33I love how he tracked the ball right there and was able to get through that fastball just a little
00:04:38bit late.
00:04:39Otherwise, it's a swing and a miss.
00:04:41That retires the side.
00:04:43And that'll do it.
00:04:44Solo shot opens the scoring for Boston.
00:04:47It's now 1-0.
00:04:49It's an AL East matchup here on MLB The Show.
00:04:55Ready to go for the last half of the inning.
00:04:58And getting the start for the Red Sox, Peyton Toley.
00:05:01And singing, we were talking earlier about how he's doing a great job navigating through tough spots.
00:05:07I've just been so impressed with when it seems like there's more pressure.
00:05:11He's more calm and settles in.
00:05:13He's done an incredible job with runners in scoring position.
00:05:16Most guys, they get a little tight.
00:05:18They start to aim the baseball.
00:05:20But for some reason, he gets looser.
00:05:22The ball comes out of his hand with more life.
00:05:24And he's able to wiggle off the hook of tough situations and get his team back in the dugout.
00:05:30That's smacked on a line to center.
00:05:32Great effort as he's able to haul it in.
00:05:34What a way.
00:05:35All right, let's take a look at the lineup.
00:05:37With an excellent arm on the mound, Singy, this won't be easy.
00:05:41They'll need to take advantage of the opportunities that they do have.
00:05:45You're right about that, Boog.
00:05:46Odds are they won't have many chances against this guy.
00:05:49But if they can rattle him out of the gates, they'll have a shot.
00:05:51If not, look out.
00:05:53It might be a long day for this offense.
00:05:59Kesson King stands in now and watches strike one.
00:06:03Not what he's looking for there in the 0-0 count.
00:06:05Looks like he wants the ball down in the zone.
00:06:08Clips the corner.
00:06:090-1-2.
00:06:19Keeps the at-bat going with a foul ball.
00:06:290-2 now.
00:06:32Got him looking.
00:06:34Two out.
00:06:35Frustrating end to the at-bat for the hitter.
00:06:37And I'm sure that's going to sit on him for a little while.
00:06:39You want to be ready to hit the fastball.
00:06:41Sometimes you can overthink things.
00:06:43And I think that was the case right there.
00:06:46Nope.
00:06:47Outside.
00:06:50Red Sox already leading.
00:06:58And a base hit.
00:07:00And the tying run is on base.
00:07:05Batting fourth.
00:07:06First baseman.
00:07:08Yandy Diaz down.
00:07:10Three for eight in the series coming in.
00:07:15Nope.
00:07:16That's a ball.
00:07:26He boasts a batting average that ranks top ten in the league at the moment, Siggy.
00:07:39There's a line drive to left field.
00:07:41And that is that.
00:07:45So one hit is all they get.
00:07:47We head to the second here at Tropicana Field.
00:07:50The Red Sox lead it 1-0.
00:07:54New inning getting started.
00:07:55Joe stepping in for Boston.
00:07:57Willier Abreu.
00:08:01Aye!
00:08:07Swing and a foul straight back.
00:08:14Up the middle.
00:08:16Williams.
00:08:17To first.
00:08:18And quickly one away in the second.
00:08:23Batting sixth.
00:08:24Second baseman.
00:08:24Isaiah Kiner-Falefa.
00:08:30That's off the inside corner.
00:08:33Ball one.
00:08:40He's just missing with some pitches that, I mean, those are, they're not strikes and that's what you think.
00:08:45Oh, good pitch is a strike.
00:08:47But so many times pitchers are trying to tease the zone.
00:08:49And the last two pitches that he's thrown, good pitches, but even better takes.
00:09:01Up the middle.
00:09:02Williams.
00:09:04Low throw and he can't pick it.
00:09:06Just not enough on that throw to get it all the way across the infield in the air.
00:09:11And unfortunately, he didn't get the bailout he needed over there at first.
00:09:15Here's the catcher, Carlos Narvaez.
00:09:19Good defender.
00:09:20He's been inconsistent offensively.
00:09:25Check swing and he went.
00:09:28That's strike one.
00:09:36Swings and lines a base hit into left field.
00:09:39Quick throw back in.
00:09:41Lead runner holds it second with one gone.
00:09:45Nice line drive to the full side right there.
00:09:47But he didn't spin off of it.
00:09:49That's the key.
00:09:50You still have to extend through the baseball in order to hit a line drive like that.
00:09:57Inside.
00:09:58And that's ball one.
00:10:00Could use a ground ball here.
00:10:01Something in the infield.
00:10:03Runner at first base.
00:10:04Get two.
00:10:05Get out of this.
00:10:10Two on, one out.
00:10:12Good spot for the hitter.
00:10:14Definitely has the advantage in this count with runners on.
00:10:17Look for him to be aggressive on this next pitch.
00:10:20And that drops in for a strike.
00:10:29Liner snagged at first.
00:10:31That is a positive sign, even though it probably doesn't feel like it.
00:10:35He hit the ball hard, but it doesn't always work out in your favor.
00:10:38Sometimes a defender is there to make a play.
00:10:41Now it's going to be Caleb Durbin.
00:10:45Turned on, but that's foul down the third baseline.
00:10:50Well, he saw that changeup really well.
00:10:52Just a little early.
00:10:53Still barreled in as you see home run distance.
00:10:56Just couldn't keep it fair.
00:10:57This one in the air center field.
00:11:01And he makes the catch.
00:11:03And that is that.
00:11:04One hit, one error in the inning, but they wind up leaving two.
00:11:08Down to the bottom of the second.
00:11:10It's the Red Sox one.
00:11:12The Rays nothing.
00:11:13It's an A-O.
00:11:15Bottom of the second.
00:11:16And stepping in for the Rays.
00:11:18Cedric Mullins.
00:11:19Center fielder.
00:11:20Cedric Mullins.
00:11:21Mullins.
00:11:22Mashed a homer in his last game.
00:11:27And that's a little bit high.
00:11:29And it's 1-0.
00:11:35That one missed.
00:11:43As a hitter, you've got to learn something from that pitch.
00:11:46You clearly wasn't timed up on the fastball.
00:11:49In a 2-0 count, you have to be ready to do damage.
00:11:52That's to third.
00:11:55Whips it to Casas.
00:11:57What a play.
00:11:59Batting six.
00:12:01Right fielder, Gavin Lachs.
00:12:03My goodness, Chris.
00:12:05He had to generate a ton of power in that jump throw for the out.
00:12:08Let's take another look and dive into the numbers from StatCast.
00:12:12Man, that's an impressive throw right there.
00:12:14In the air, all the way from third base.
00:12:17You've got to have a powerful arm to play third base.
00:12:19But he just showed he's got more than enough.
00:12:22He's got to can it.
00:12:24The 1-0.
00:12:27Ground ball to the right side.
00:12:29And that one handled.
00:12:30On to first.
00:12:31That's a very athletic play.
00:12:35Batting seven.
00:12:36Catcher.
00:12:37Hunter.
00:12:37Faduccia.
00:12:39And now the catcher for the Rays.
00:12:42Hunter Faduccia.
00:12:59He hit hard, but foul off to the left.
00:13:10Stays alive.
00:13:17Two down, nobody on.
00:13:20And they'll do it again.
00:13:29The 0-2.
00:13:32Swing and a miss.
00:13:34Struck him out.
00:13:34The Notches strikeout number 150 this season.
00:13:39We've played two innings.
00:13:40It's one to nothing.
00:13:45On to the third inning.
00:13:46Now here's the Red Sox leadoff here.
00:13:48Roman Anthony.
00:13:52And that's in there at the knees for a strike.
00:13:59Yep, that ball went out.
00:14:06Swing and a high fly ball out towards right center field.
00:14:11He's got it.
00:14:12One up, one down.
00:14:15And here's a look at how he's using his pitches in this one.
00:14:28Foul ball.
00:14:35Fastball for a strike.
00:14:41Struck him out looking.
00:14:44Well executed pitch on the outside part of the plate.
00:14:46The designated hitter, Masataka Yoshida.
00:14:52Two outs, bases empty.
00:14:54Masataka Yoshida up next for the Red Sox.
00:14:59And first off, Ring is fouled off.
00:15:10That catches the corner.
00:15:12And here's a challenge.
00:15:13That looked like it missed to me.
00:15:16Barely a hair out of the zone, but it was a ball.
00:15:19They'll keep both their challenges.
00:15:27So now one and two.
00:15:29See if he can go upstairs a little bit.
00:15:31Make sure you miss up and out of the zone since you're heading to count one, two.
00:15:35Don't miss in the zone because that's where you get hurt.
00:15:38Over to Diaz.
00:15:39Red Sox go one, two, three.
00:15:42It's the Red Sox one.
00:15:44The Rays nothing.
00:15:47The Rays nothing.
00:15:51Welcome back.
00:15:52Let's take a look at how the series has played out so far.
00:16:05And the first pitch fastball is in for a strike.
00:16:15Right through there for a strike.
00:16:17Well, we call that key holing.
00:16:19Even though it's right there and looks pretty good, if he doesn't love it, he's not going
00:16:23to swing that early in the count.
00:16:26Got him swinging.
00:16:28Made quick work of him right there, Siggy.
00:16:30I know that's the kind of at-bat maybe leaves a lot of fans wondering, what was he doing up
00:16:34there, right?
00:16:35Yeah, and I get that.
00:16:36I mean, you take two straight strikes, then chase one way out of the zone.
00:16:40It's just not a good at-bat.
00:16:42It'll leave you shaking your head as a hitter, if not worse.
00:16:44First spot, there's always going to be those trips to the bay where you're just lost up
00:16:47there, and that was one of them for sure.
00:16:50Two away.
00:16:53Up next for the Rays, left fielder, Chandler Simpson.
00:16:58So the Rays batting order turns over.
00:17:01Chandler Simpson digs in now.
00:17:03He's 0 for 1.
00:17:10Hey!
00:17:20And there's a rocket into the outfield.
00:17:24Around first, digging for two.
00:17:26Throws to second, and he'll make it to second base with two gone.
00:17:30Just so sound in his mechanics.
00:17:32Hits against a firm front side, and the hands just continue to carry through the middle of
00:17:38the field.
00:17:49As a pitcher, you know the runner on second is ready to push things with his speed.
00:17:53A base hit is probably going to be a big run, so you really have to execute on the mound.
00:17:59He's trying for third.
00:18:01Pitch misses in.
00:18:02Throw to third.
00:18:03He's 0.
00:18:04And the tying run is now only 90 feet away.
00:18:08Very risky right there to try to steal third with two outs and a left-hander at the plate.
00:18:14And there's an open lane for that catcher to throw down.
00:18:17But he gambled.
00:18:18Now he's at third, 90 feet closer.
00:18:20Perhaps a ball in the dirt that gets away from the catcher, and they pick up a run.
00:18:28Two outs and a runner at third.
00:18:30Here is the third and final game of the series.
00:18:34Strike two.
00:18:35This guy's got a great feel for his breaking ball today.
00:18:43Still two and two after the foul ball.
00:19:00Monasterio out with room to spare, and that's the inning.
00:19:04Saw they can't do anything with a two-out double.
00:19:07On to inning number four.
00:19:08It's the Red Sox won the Rays nothing.
00:19:11This is Rays baseball on the show, Florida.
00:19:14Back here at the ballpark, let's check out the latest news from around the league.
00:19:26You know, these Red Sox showing great discipline at the plate,
00:19:32and patience definitely seems to be the name of their game in this one.
00:19:35He's only giving up one run, but the starters pitch count is starting to get up there,
00:19:39and that might be the best news yet for this offense.
00:19:43Outside low, ball one.
00:19:45You know, sometimes all it takes is getting to the next arm before an offense does any damage,
00:19:49and that might be the case today.
00:19:54Spoils the two-strike pitch, and he'll see another.
00:19:59The one-two.
00:20:02On the ground right side, and it goes just foul.
00:20:09Here's a one-two.
00:20:12Gets to it with a slide.
00:20:14Over to first, and they get the out.
00:20:16Thalpug is an infielder.
00:20:18You have to be ready for anything.
00:20:20In that spot, it required going to the ground, getting a little dirty,
00:20:23and making a strong throw for the out.
00:20:25Great play.
00:20:34Out to short.
00:20:37And no throw for some reason as he reaches first.
00:20:42That's got to be an error.
00:20:43Isaiah Kiner-Falefa.
00:20:47One down.
00:20:49Here is Isaiah Kiner-Falefa.
00:20:52Runner takes off.
00:20:54Ground ball up the middle.
00:20:57Fires over to first.
00:20:59No chance at the double play, but the runner in motion.
00:21:02Up next for the Red Sox, catcher, Carlos Narvaez.
00:21:18There's a strike.
00:21:19Generally, second, third time through the lineup,
00:21:21you want to be able to lean on those secondary pitches.
00:21:24Oh, gets dirty.
00:21:27Nicely done for the out.
00:21:30And the Red Sox lead one.
00:21:32They lead it 1-0.
00:21:40Back here in Tampa Bay, at the plate now for the Rays is the DH, Jonathan Aranda.
00:21:46Jonathan Aranda.
00:21:52He's pitching well, but not throwing a ton of first pitch strikes usually doesn't work
00:21:57out for success, but you can never predict baseball.
00:22:03Swing and a ball lifted left field.
00:22:06Anthony on the move, pulls it down, and he makes the catch.
00:22:10And there's one down.
00:22:14Up next for the Rays, first baseman, Zandi Diaz.
00:22:31Ball one.
00:22:43Home team down a run.
00:22:45We're here at the bottom of the fourth.
00:22:49The 1-1 is fouled off.
00:22:58And a 1-2.
00:23:01Ground ball, Casas.
00:23:03He takes it on his own.
00:23:05Already two gone here in the home four.
00:23:08He's doing a nice job of keeping the ball out of the air.
00:23:11Let's the defense work behind him with another ground ball.
00:23:14Good execution.
00:23:16Cedric Mullins, next to hit for the Rays.
00:23:190-1, he grounded out in his first sit-back.
00:23:25In the air to left center.
00:23:29And that's the inning.
00:23:32Nothing doing for Tampa.
00:23:34Still behind by a count of 1-0.
00:23:42Welcome back as we take a peek at the starting pitching so far this year.
00:23:56Mason Engler comes on now.
00:23:59Definitely a guy that pounds the strike zone.
00:24:01Makes hitters earn their way on base and rarely gets in trouble because of free passes.
00:24:12Little bit low.
00:24:13Ball one.
00:24:20Next offering is fouled back.
00:24:23Pretty good pitch to take a pass at in a 1-0 count.
00:24:27Just not able to square it up.
00:24:31No, that's down.
00:24:41Swing and a miss.
00:24:42There's that changeup.
00:24:52Swings through that one.
00:24:53It's a strikeout.
00:24:54No, you can see his eyes light up when he saw that pitch coming into the zone.
00:24:58A changeup over the middle of the plate.
00:25:00And it was up, but it's just hard to lay off that pitch because you know you can handle the
00:25:05velocity.
00:25:06I think it just drifted a little too high on him and he swung through it.
00:25:13That trips a corner.
00:25:21Next offering is fouled back.
00:25:29Swing and a ball popped up.
00:25:32Diaz under it.
00:25:35Takes it in for the out.
00:25:38Up next for the Red Sox, left fielder, Roman Anthony.
00:25:44Roman Anthony will hit next.
00:25:46He's already homered in this game.
00:25:56Swing and that ball smashed on a line.
00:25:59And that's got extra bases written all over it.
00:26:03Safely into second.
00:26:04He's got a double.
00:26:06Nice double right there.
00:26:07Loud contact coming off the bat.
00:26:09Didn't get enough air under to drive it out of here.
00:26:11But you'll take that swing and that result every time.
00:26:23Ball one.
00:26:50Swing and a miss and that's strike two.
00:26:56Swings and misses.
00:26:57Struck him out.
00:26:59Bell needed a big strikeout to get out of danger.
00:27:02Turned into deception.
00:27:03That changeup.
00:27:03Great execution.
00:27:05Really sold it with the arm speed.
00:27:06Had his opponent way out on that front foot.
00:27:12Back here at Tropicana Field.
00:27:14And stepping in for the raise.
00:27:15Gavin Lux.
00:27:21There's the strike.
00:27:22Now just a cement mixer slider right there.
00:27:24It's a great pitch to hit.
00:27:25If you can recognize it early and jump on it.
00:27:32Fastball for a strike.
00:27:33So now it's all about protect mode.
00:27:35Try to shorten up.
00:27:36Try to track the ball.
00:27:37Block it if you have to.
00:27:39As far as just a late swing that maybe you're not sure about.
00:27:41But some way somehow climb back into this at bat through the count.
00:27:55Swing and a miss.
00:27:57Struck him out.
00:27:58And that's four strikeouts.
00:28:14Foul ball there.
00:28:24And now the 0-1.
00:28:28Late on that fastball.
00:28:29Just not able to catch up to that velocity.
00:28:46And it's even up.
00:28:54Just misses without one.
00:28:56Challenge from behind the dish here.
00:29:00It just shaved the zone.
00:29:04Still two challenges left for them.
00:29:07Carson Williams.
00:29:08Now at the plate.
00:29:10Shortstop Carson Williams.
00:29:17Yeah.
00:29:28Shots missed.
00:29:29That was absolute gas.
00:29:31Triple digits on the gun.
00:29:32It's just a different experience as a hitter watching that go by.
00:29:37Up the middle.
00:29:39On the run.
00:29:40Sends it over to first.
00:29:41Pretty nice play there.
00:29:43Still nothing on the scoreboard for him after five.
00:29:46You're watching Tampa Bay Rays baseball on the show Florida.
00:29:51Back now in Tampa Bay.
00:29:53Close game here.
00:29:54And a chance now to look at a few highlights from this one.
00:29:57All people must go dancing out on the dancing floors.
00:30:10There were a hundred horses dancing.
00:30:16Maybe a hundred and twenty-four.
00:30:21All the horses must go dancing.
00:30:27Masataka Yoshida.
00:30:29The next to hit.
00:30:30The designated hitter.
00:30:31Masataka Yoshida.
00:30:38That's a ball.
00:30:45Engler.
00:30:46It is third season.
00:30:4826 years old.
00:30:49And he was drafted in the fourth round.
00:30:52Back in 2018.
00:30:56Fiduccia takes it in for the out.
00:30:59One down.
00:31:02Up next for the Red Sox.
00:31:04First baseman.
00:31:05Tristan Katsos.
00:31:30And the 0-2.
00:31:32Gets a piece there.
00:31:34We'll do it again.
00:31:43Swings through it.
00:31:44And that's a strikeout.
00:31:46Well, that was the cutter down and in right there.
00:31:48And typically, if you're going to have a chance with the pitch, if it's down, that's your best chance of
00:31:53doing anything with it.
00:31:54It's kind of like a mini slider, just with a little less vertical movement, but still, that one tied him
00:32:04up, and he couldn't get the barrel to it.
00:32:06Obrayu, in the box again, takes the strike.
00:32:09Two down, nobody on.
00:32:11And we're in the top half of the sixth.
00:32:16And one fouled off.
00:32:260-2 now.
00:32:30Ripped to short.
00:32:33And it's a 1-2-3 inning.
00:32:35It's the Red Sox 1, the Rays nothing.
00:32:39See the new shots on that 5, 5, 5, 5.
00:32:45Well, we go bottom six, and stepping in for the Rays, Taylor Walls.
00:32:50Taylor Walls.
00:32:57Right through there for a strike.
00:32:59Double-barreled action in the bullpen.
00:33:01Justin Slate, the hard-throwing righty, is up and loosening.
00:33:05Weiser getting loose as well.
00:33:08Here comes the 0-1.
00:33:12Whoa, that's down.
00:33:20Yeah, that's too high.
00:33:22Catcher challenge, we'll take another look.
00:33:26And on further review, it was a strike.
00:33:29So they've still got both their challenges.
00:33:51Popped up.
00:33:52Monasterio.
00:33:54And there's one down.
00:33:58Up next for the Rays.
00:34:00And here's a look at how he's using his pitches in this one.
00:34:03Pimpsons.
00:34:20Pretty frugal guy.
00:34:21He is very efficient with the pitch count in this one.
00:34:29That one lifted to left.
00:34:30Anthony gets under it.
00:34:32And there's two away.
00:34:34Up next for the Rays.
00:34:37Hesun Kim, next to hit for the Rays.
00:34:44Ball.
00:34:55Pitch misses there.
00:34:57And the count is 2-0.
00:35:04That one ripped right center field.
00:35:08That's down.
00:35:09One hops off the wall.
00:35:11And the double puts the tying run in scoring position with two away.
00:35:16Well, when you fall behind in the count, you've got to come into the zone.
00:35:19And then guys have a better chance of hitting the ball hard like you did right there.
00:35:32And an A.B.S. challenge coming from behind the dish.
00:35:37Pretty close, but it was a ball.
00:35:40That knocks them down to one challenge left.
00:35:44Tying run at second base.
00:35:46Here in the bottom of the sixth.
00:35:51When you get a hit in the count, there's no doubt that the success rate goes up.
00:35:55And that's what he's been doing.
00:35:56It's made a big impact for him in recent games.
00:36:00Swing and a pop-up.
00:36:02Monasterio should have this one.
00:36:05And that will end the inning.
00:36:08Make it six shutout innings for him out there now.
00:36:11This is Rays Baseball on the show.
00:36:15Now pitching for the Rays.
00:36:16Welcome back.
00:36:17We're in the seventh.
00:36:18We have a new pitcher on the mound.
00:36:19Steven Matz.
00:36:20He doesn't get a lot of strikeouts compared to other relievers.
00:36:23So he relies on getting that soft contact and the defense doing work behind him.
00:36:28They'll have to be on their toes with him on the ball.
00:36:30Connor Falefa in the box for the third time today as he takes that one off the plate.
00:36:37Now inside.
00:36:44Now three and oh.
00:36:53Right through there for a strike.
00:37:00Popped in the air.
00:37:02Left field.
00:37:03And there's one down.
00:37:11Up next for the Red Sox.
00:37:13Catcher Carlos Narvaez.
00:37:1980.
00:37:26This one chopped up the middle.
00:37:30And two away to start the seven.
00:37:36Andrew Monasterio.
00:37:37Up next for the Red Sox.
00:37:38First off, Andrew Monasterio.
00:37:41Aye.
00:37:48Great take right there.
00:37:50Showed some really good discipline.
00:37:51Breaking ball coming in.
00:37:52You see it well.
00:37:53But don't trust that it's going to hang on for a strike.
00:37:56Nice job.
00:37:57Line drive.
00:37:58Base hit.
00:38:01Joey gets on base and keeps it going.
00:38:06Up next for the Red Sox.
00:38:09Third baseman.
00:38:10Taylor Durbin.
00:38:16That door to him with the breaking ball.
00:38:18Just got the corner.
00:38:20There's nothing you can really do with that.
00:38:22Edge of the zone for a strike.
00:38:24Oh, and two down.
00:38:29That's ripped.
00:38:30Base hit.
00:38:32They stopped the lead runner at second.
00:38:34Now two on with two outs.
00:38:36Well, a swing like that can help you come out of this struggle.
00:38:39We saw the numbers coming into the ball game.
00:38:42But all he's trying to do at this point is help his team win.
00:38:45Here's the left fielder, Roman Anthony.
00:38:48His homer earlier is responsible for the only runs they've scored in this one.
00:38:52Yeah, forget small ball.
00:38:53They're kind of living and dying by the long ball so far in this one.
00:39:06Fouled off.
00:39:07He was late.
00:39:10First and second.
00:39:11Two down.
00:39:12Here are the top half of inning number seven.
00:39:14Out to short Williams.
00:39:18That ends the inning as they squander a chance to pick up some insurance.
00:39:22A couple of hits in the inning, but they can't get him home.
00:39:25Midway in inning number seven, and it's time to stretch.
00:39:28It's the Red Sox one.
00:39:32We're back in a new picture here to start the bottom of the seven.
00:39:35Justin Slate.
00:39:36And compared to a lot of other relievers, strikeouts have not been a big weapon for him this year.
00:39:54Defense should be active.
00:40:01That's a ball.
00:40:02Tried the sweeper.
00:40:03Really close pitch down around the knees there, and you could see him asking where it missed.
00:40:08Probably doesn't agree, but it appears he's ready to move on to the next pitch.
00:40:12Durant on his way over, and there's one away.
00:40:16Up next for the race, center field on Cedric Mullins.
00:40:28See the velocity.
00:40:3097 with that fastball.
00:40:39That one finds the zone, and it's 0-2.
00:40:43Well, he didn't like those first two pitches down in 0-2 hole.
00:40:46He's going to have to battle.
00:40:47Hope he gets a mistake.
00:40:50Really good take, especially with two strikes.
00:41:01And it's fouled off.
00:41:02They'll do it again.
00:41:06Looking to get the tying run on base.
00:41:09And that one almost hit him.
00:41:20Foul ball left side.
00:41:22He'll see another.
00:41:23The healthy cut.
00:41:24Tough pitch at 98, but a really good pass at the ball.
00:41:30Swings and misses at the breaking ball in the dirt.
00:41:33Gets to it.
00:41:34On to first.
00:41:35But no chance to recover.
00:41:37He'll reach after the strikeout.
00:41:42Well, you don't see it very often, but every once in a while,
00:41:45a guy strikes out and still somehow ends up safe on first.
00:41:48And when it happens, you kind of scratch your head.
00:41:50But I guess sometimes a pitch is so nasty, it makes everyone miss.
00:41:54Now they're going to have to get more than three outs in this inning.
00:41:57Slate checks over to first, and he's back.
00:42:05Here's Gavin Lux to hit.
00:42:07Runner on the goal.
00:42:09And so he's in there.
00:42:11It's a stolen base.
00:42:12And the tying run is now in scoring position.
00:42:16Well, he picked over once just before the pitch to check on him,
00:42:19but that didn't seem to slow up his jump on the pitch at all.
00:42:21I think that guy's been studying some video.
00:42:23Awesome job to be prepared.
00:42:24Got the timing down, and he gets in the scoring position.
00:42:28The 0-1.
00:42:30This to center field.
00:42:33That's a base hit.
00:42:35Fires it to the plate.
00:42:37And he's safe.
00:42:39Tie ball game.
00:42:41Well, it was a great job of letting that runner steal second base,
00:42:43get in the scoring position, come through with the base knock.
00:43:02And that's it for a strike.
00:43:03It's 0-1.
00:43:05If you're a base runner, you've got to stay dialed in here.
00:43:07Look for anything in the dirt.
00:43:09Try your best to get in the scoring position.
00:43:12Way out front for strike two.
00:43:15Talk about tying a guy up.
00:43:17That was ugly.
00:43:22Deal two.
00:43:25Got him swinging for the strikeout.
00:43:28No advance.
00:43:29Good job behind the dish.
00:43:30And there's another strikeout, and those are just continuing to pile up.
00:43:34His confidence level has got to be dropping.
00:43:36He's got to find a way to make an adjustment boot, get back on track.
00:43:39His team needs him.
00:43:40Manager out of the dugout, and he's going to make a change.
00:43:43Justin Slate will depart,
00:43:45and it's a tie ball game as he heads for the dugout.
00:43:48Back with a new arm after a quick break.
00:43:52Greg Weiser takes over on the mound.
00:43:54Well, walks have certainly been an issue for him this season,
00:43:57so we'll see what kind of command he has.
00:44:07Now up for Tampa Bay, Carson Williams.
00:44:10Good stop, Carson Williams.
00:44:21And there's a strike.
00:44:23Well, that's really the money spot.
00:44:24Down and away, if you can locate that consistently,
00:44:27it's going to be real tall for hitters to square that off.
00:44:29That's what you love to see relievers do coming out of that bullpen.
00:44:320-1 down.
00:44:33And a swing and a miss.
00:44:350-2 down.
00:44:45Battling here as he fouls it away.
00:44:48Two gone.
00:44:49The possible go-ahead run at first.
00:44:56Ball, that's out.
00:45:08down to the dirt swing and a miss got
00:45:12him getting over on the strikeout but
00:45:20the RBI single pushes across a run all
00:45:23even now at 1-1. Welcome back and a new
00:45:31arm on the mound to start the eighth
00:45:33Craig Kimbrell they know that he can get
00:45:36a right-hander out but he's in position
00:45:38to face a couple of lefties this inning
00:45:41leading off for Boston center fielder
00:45:43Jaron Durant
00:45:54that's a ball tried to attack with the
00:45:56sweeper
00:46:04that close with that one and out three
00:46:07you know Masataka Yoshida on deck for
00:46:10Boston
00:46:14and there's the automatic clearly taking
00:46:17all the way there in that 3-0 count it
00:46:19was a cookie right down the middle
00:46:22swings through that sold it really well
00:46:25with the arm speed swung underneath it so
00:46:28change-up that stayed a little bit more
00:46:30on playing than what he was
00:46:32anticipated and a payoff pitch walls rolls
00:46:38across the diamond lead-off man is out
00:46:41here in the eighth
00:46:42up for the Red Sox the designated hitter
00:46:45Masataka Yoshida
00:46:53and he takes one right out of the black
00:46:56that strike one
00:47:00hard hit base hit
00:47:05so the go-ahead run is on base with a
00:47:08knot always feels amazing getting a job
00:47:10done when the team needs you to come
00:47:12through it's just bigger than your own
00:47:14individual stats nice line drive the
00:47:16pull side met it out front but just
00:47:19stay through it nice enough and ripped it
00:47:21into the outfield making a move the
00:47:23first pinch running for Boston say down
00:47:25Raffaella he represents the go-ahead run so
00:47:28they hope some extra speed will help
00:47:30with that
00:47:35sliced hard but foul look out rebel smoke
00:47:39and I'm so relieved that they have this
00:47:42netting down the lines just ensure
00:47:44safety for the fans last thing is a
00:47:46player you want to look up and see a fan
00:47:48get hit one away tie game go ahead run
00:47:53on base will you're a brave up next for the
00:48:22red sox
00:48:25he's gonna steal second you want him to go
00:48:27early in the count that way he's not a
00:48:29distraction to the hitter at the plate go
00:48:31ahead and get it out of the way so the
00:48:32hitter can focus on the pitch
00:48:40this one chopped on the ground but foul
00:48:45the one-two
00:48:50just missed if he's able to connect on
00:48:53that look out the one-two good job to
00:48:58fight that one off the red sox with the
00:49:04go-ahead run at first and we're at the
00:49:07top of the eighth
00:49:11fights it off you'll see another
00:49:22ball
00:49:31swings and misses struck him out he didn't
00:49:34make it easy for him on the mound but
00:49:36they still get the strikeout one left for

00:52:03the two out and nobody on you want to go right after this guy he's the number two hitter which
00:52:09means if he gets on you've got some thunder coming up behind it on the ground
00:52:17tosses the first inning over down in order go the Rays still tied 1-1
00:52:31now we've got ourselves a pitching change Garrett Clevenger and one thing
00:52:35on him he's been really good this season and keeping the ball on the bar not an
00:52:40easy guy to take D Isaiah Kiner for a strike
00:53:04out to short Williams now one gone in the ninth
00:53:14alex Cora turning to the bench for a new hitter Romy Gonzalez he represents the
00:53:19go-ahead run

00:53:38that's ball two all tied up you're the top of the dime
00:53:44misses the sweeper definitely got the hitter conscious of the pitch inside I
00:53:49really think the outer half is open and it remains two and two
