00:00:19Live from Yankee Stadium in the Bronx, the show has an AL East matchup.
00:00:25It's the Tampa Bay Rays taking on the New York Yankees.
00:00:32First pitch coming your way next.
00:00:39The lefty on the mound for the Yankees, Max Freed.
00:00:42He leads the league in ERA, Siggy.
00:00:45Yeah, he's always around the zone, boo, gets weak contact, and makes hitters guess.
00:00:49That's how he's been able to stay on top.
00:00:51Everything's crisp, movement, mix, location, a little different from your cardio stats,
00:00:56Siggy.
00:00:57Oh, wow.
00:00:58Okay.
00:00:58Well, we know the numbers don't lie.
00:01:00Elite is elite.
00:01:01They'll be leaning on that arm all summer long.
00:01:04Chandler Simpson leading things off and takes a strike.
00:01:17Grab ball up the middle and it finds its way through for a hit.
00:01:21So a man on base to start the inning.
00:01:39Here in the Bronx, just getting settled into this form.
00:01:44Runner on the goal.
00:01:46Pitch misses inside.
00:01:48Safe at second and he easily steals the bag.
00:01:52And that makes it 60 steals for him on the season.
00:01:56Well, he's batting lead off and he's acting like a traditional lead off hitter.
00:01:59Gets on base to start the game, then puts himself on second with a nice stolen bag.
00:02:03I think that sets the tone for the offense for sure.
00:02:07Man at second.
00:02:09That one finds the zone and it's one and two.
00:02:12See if he can go upstairs a little bit.
00:02:14Make sure you miss up and out of the zone since you're heading to count one, two.
00:02:18Don't miss in the zone because that's where you get hurt.
00:02:21Good job to fight that one off.
00:02:31Way inside, gets out of the way.
00:02:33This is a guy that can be frustrating for pitchers because he fouls off so many pitches
00:02:38and grinds out the at-bat.
00:02:40I'm sure there are some times where a pitcher would rather just give up a first pitch single
00:02:43than have to waste six or seven pitches on one hitter.
00:02:53The two-two.
00:03:09Battling here as he fouls it away.
00:03:22And the ball.
00:03:22Next offering upstairs.
00:03:34Swings and misses at the breaking ball in the door.
00:03:36Got him.
00:03:37One away on the strikeout.
00:03:43Now a look at Kevin Cash's lineup for the Tampa Bay Rays.
00:03:47They're dealing with a top-level arm on the mound so this figures to be a tough matchup for him.
00:03:52What's the key to the offense today, Singie?
00:03:55Well, Boog, against a talented pitcher, it's crucial to disrupt his rhythm.
00:03:59Use bunks to get him off the mound and move it around out there.
00:04:03If he's in a flow, step out and break his timing.
00:04:06When he throws in the zone, you might only get one pitch so you don't want to miss it.
00:04:14Runter breaks for third.
00:04:16Swing and a miss.
00:04:18Throw bounces.
00:04:19He's safe.
00:04:20It's a stolen base.
00:04:21That was not close.
00:04:22And the go-ahead run is now only 90 feet away.
00:04:37That one to first.
00:04:39And that chance handled.
00:04:41Now two away as they get a run across.
00:04:43So important to really lock in on it at bat like this.
00:04:46It seems easy with the infield back, but you've got to make sure you put the ball in play.
00:04:50Put it on the ground, brought that run in.
00:04:52And now the DH, Yandy Diaz.
00:05:02Goodness, I think he just took the best pitch he's going to see in this at bat.
00:05:06You don't get many like that in that location.
00:05:08I don't know if you take that pitch against any pitcher out there in the mound.
00:05:26Chew down.
00:05:27Nobody on.
00:05:30Hard ground.
00:05:31They're into the outfield for a knock.
00:05:35Joey gets on base and keeps it going.
00:05:39Good start for him to this ball game tonight.
00:05:41Now he's talking about get a knock on your first at bat.
00:05:44It just makes your confidence.
00:05:46It's such a higher level for the potential to having a big night.
00:06:01That one finds the zone and it's on two.
00:06:04And a bat like this is almost over as it begins.
00:06:08In this situation, you have no idea what the next pitch is going to be.
00:06:12You just got to hope.
00:06:13And he got him.
00:06:14Strike three and that'll retire the side.
00:06:17They get a run on two hits.
00:06:19No errors.
00:06:19And the man left.
00:06:21On to the bottom of the first.
00:06:22It's the Rays one and the Yankees coming.
00:06:27We go to the bottom of the first and on the mound for Tampa Bay in this one.
00:06:32Nick Martinez.
00:06:34What do we have on him?
00:06:35The opposing hitters are going to see a lot of cutters.
00:06:38This guy can throw it to the front side of the plate, the back side of the plate.
00:06:41So you're really not able to cheat to get the fat part of the bat on the baseball.
00:06:45Trent Grisham stepping in now for the Yankees.
00:06:55Missed with a chain jump and one and one.
00:07:04In the air left side.
00:07:06Mesa drops steps, heads back on it.
00:07:09One down.
00:07:13And time now to check out the New York Yankees lineup.
00:07:16And a big factor for them in recent games.
00:07:19Anthony Volpe.
00:07:20And Boog.
00:07:20He's a guy who loves coming up with the chance to drive in his teammates.
00:07:24It's like he finds another level of focus.
00:07:26Batting over 300 with runners in scoring position this season.
00:07:30And you know what?
00:07:31Because of that, I wonder if the guys in front of them will see some better pitch.
00:07:35Oh, this ball is crushed into left field.
00:07:38It's on its way and gone.
00:07:42Aaron Judge with a working.
00:07:45His 43rd home run of the season.
00:07:48And it ties it up.
00:07:49It's 1-1.
00:07:52He absolutely crushed that one.
00:07:54No doubt about that one, Boog.
00:07:56We knew it wasn't coming back.
00:07:58Love to see a hitter aggressive on the first pitch of the bat.
00:08:01You watch him from the on-deck circle.
00:08:03So when you step in the box, you're ready to pull the trigger wherever it's at.
00:08:07Really good job by the hitter.
00:08:09Total conviction on that swing.
00:08:12Now it's gonna be Jazz Chisholm Jr.
00:08:15Misses just off the outside edge.
00:08:18I think that was a strike.
00:08:19Chisholm with an uncharacteristic stretch of poor play lately.
00:08:25Ball.
00:08:26Even superstars have their slumps from time to time, Boog.
00:08:29And he's no exception.
00:08:30He's too good to struggle much longer, though.
00:08:33I'd expect him to turn it around soon.
00:08:35That one misses.
00:08:37Ball three.
00:08:40One out, base is empty, and a run in here in the second game of the series.
00:08:44Ball four.
00:08:45Outside ball four.
00:08:47You know, Boog, it's been sad.
00:08:48These guys are savages in the box.
00:08:50You can see it right there with such tight plate discipline.
00:08:57That one misses.
00:08:58That's five straight.
00:09:11Swing and a bouncer.
00:09:14Throw to first in time.
00:09:19Batting fit.
00:09:20The catcher, number 28, Austin.
00:09:23Austin Wells digs in now.
00:09:26And singing, we already know he's gonna finish the season with a new career high at home runs.
00:09:31There's the strike.
00:09:32If you're gonna be a championship type of ball club, you've got to hit with runners in scoring position.
00:09:37And after last night's struggles, I'm sure this team is...
00:09:40Base hit!
00:09:41He boots it!
00:09:42Jazz on his horse coming around third.
00:09:45He will score.
00:09:46The Yankees take the lead.
00:09:48Mission accomplished there as he picks up the RBI to give him the lead.
00:09:52Absolutely smoked that baseball.
00:09:54What a swing.
00:09:55Scented out way faster than it came in, of course.
00:09:58113 off the bat, and no matter where you hit it at that speed, it's tough to make a play
00:10:03on.
00:10:11Just off the outside edge.
00:10:13Ball one.
00:10:14No, he's really working him away this at bat.
00:10:16Sometimes take a little bit off velocity.
00:10:18Try to get a rollover, something on the ground.
00:10:20Stay away from that big hole on the right side of the infield.
00:10:29Keeps the at bat going with a foul ball.
00:10:391-2 now.
00:10:41Swing and a miss struck him out.
00:10:45So they get two runs on two hits, one of them left the yard.
00:10:49Second inning coming up in the Bronx.
00:10:51The Yankees lead it to...
00:10:54Top of the second, and stepping in for the Rays, Johnny DeLuca.
00:10:58This has been a career year for him when it comes to driving in runs.
00:11:05That one finds the zone.
00:11:080-1.
00:11:08Well, we call that key holey.
00:11:10Even though it's right there and looks pretty good, if he doesn't love it, he's not going to swing that
00:11:15early in the count.
00:11:17That's a strike.
00:11:31Next offering is down low, and that is ball one.
00:11:40Backed off the plate that time.
00:11:52Next offering is outside.
00:12:02Line drive to short and caught!
00:12:04That at bat is a positive sign, even though it probably doesn't feel like it.
00:12:08He hit the ball hard, but it doesn't always work out in your favor.
00:12:11Sometimes a defender is there to make a play.
00:12:22That one in the dirt, and it's 1-0.
00:12:35Fought off foul.
00:12:47Fouled off down to right side.
00:12:57The 1-2.
00:13:01Maximus notches the K.
00:13:03Tampa Bay.
00:13:08So, next to the plate for Tampa Bay, Carson Williams.
00:13:23high touchdowns.
00:13:27Four one!
00:13:38Swing and a line drive that's a base hit into right field and the tying run is on base batting
00:13:47not the left fielder number 25 victory right through there for a strike
00:14:05that one finds the zone and account is old too
00:14:16yeah look at that fastball driven up next for Tampa Bay the first and second two
00:14:24apps Chandler Simpson next to hit for the Rays he's one for one let off the game
00:14:29with a single swing and a miss as he was late
00:14:42two on two outs that crosses the plate and now they're just one strike away from
00:14:48getting out of this mess
00:14:55line and a base hit into right runner at third puts on the brakes bases now loaded
00:15:03with two away not just a nice job coming through and a pretty high leverage spot
00:15:08right there just a solid swing right there caught it out front and ripped it
00:15:12into the outfield for the base hit those always feel great
00:15:22that's in for a strike
00:15:32all loaded up dangerous hitter at the plate and fouled off
00:15:47and a foul ball he stays alive
00:15:58the 0-2 that one ran inside almost got him
00:16:13stays alive
00:16:14stays alive
00:16:18all loaded up here at the top of the second
00:16:26gets a piece there we'll do it again just missed if he's able to connect on
00:16:31that look out
00:16:35one two down and a sweeper misses
00:16:53fights it off you'll see another
00:17:03got him looking for the strikeout huge strikeout there and the Rays leave him loaded they're down
00:17:11two to one
00:17:14back now in the Bronx bottom half of the day number two Anthony Volkin stepping in now for the Yankees
00:17:22Ripped but it curls foul
00:17:26Martinez this is his 30th start of the season
00:17:30he joined the team as a free agent
00:17:32I think he was sitting off speed there
00:17:35going to now
00:17:38this to center field
00:17:41and there's one down
00:17:45batting in the left fielder
00:17:48Cody
00:17:50well injured
00:17:57that just misses
00:17:58ball one
00:18:08swing
00:18:09and a ground ball up the middle
00:18:11already two out here in the home half of inning number two
00:18:15batting fastball crew right down the middle
00:18:17usually a lot of damage done with that pitch
00:18:19a hard grounder but he wanted to get that ball in the air
00:18:21maybe drive it into the gap
00:18:26right
00:18:27Ryan McMahon
00:18:27in the box now
00:18:28no balls and a strike
00:18:30the strong second inning is a confidence builder for him
00:18:33a relief for his manager
00:18:35doesn't have to get into that bullpen quite as early
00:18:37can't club it cleanly
00:18:38still fires the first
00:18:40and the throw is late
00:18:42they couldn't overcome the misplay
00:18:44the center fielder
00:18:46number 12
00:18:48right
00:18:49right
00:18:56line drive
00:18:58and that is that
00:19:00the yanks leave one
00:19:02as they're unable to add to their 2-1 lead
00:19:10back for more from the Bronx
00:19:12Jonathan Aranda
00:19:14one of the league leaders in doubles
00:19:16singe he's basically turned the gap into his personal express lane
00:19:20yeah Boogan the outfielders keep paying the toll
00:19:22hit it where they ain't
00:19:24seems simple enough
00:19:29pitchers are starting to shift the outfield into the parking lot
00:19:32it's all about angles against this guy
00:19:34and it doesn't seem to matter
00:19:36he'll still find grass and end up standing on second smiling
00:19:39got it started a little too early strike one
00:19:59swing and a miss as that one was high
00:20:01swing and a miss as that one was high
00:20:08on the ground to third
00:20:11throws the first down time
00:20:13leadoff hitter gone in the third
00:20:15good arm side run and sink on that pitch right there
00:20:18got inside on him and got him to bounce into that out
00:20:32first offering way inside almost got him
00:20:35straighten him up a little bit
00:20:46hit back
00:20:47wait
00:20:47wait
00:20:48wait
00:20:52wait

00:21:06rap
00:21:06work
00:21:06play
00:21:06coming
00:21:13and that's a strikeout looking now five strikeouts for him on the mound
00:21:20so up next Richie Palacios went down looking on three pitches last time let's see if it can be a
00:21:27little more aggressive right here
00:21:42that one the other way and it stays fair
00:21:49throws to second in there just beat the tag it's a double
00:21:56that pretty much split the zone down the middle and those are the ones where you gotta make them pay
00:22:12right through there for a strike
00:22:25come back her to the mound tosses the first and that is the inning
00:22:31the Rays strand just the one and our score remains 2-1
00:22:39back at Yankee Stadium set for the bottom of the third Aaron Judge
00:22:43stepping in now for the Yankees
00:22:56and a foul ball
00:23:03field two
00:23:06hard hit left field base hit
00:23:11solo runner aboard to start the inning
00:23:15still able to come through behind in the count right there
00:23:18nice line drive to the full side met it out front but just stayed through it nice enough
00:23:23and ripped it into the outfield
00:23:29that's in for a strike
00:23:38swings through that one out in front that time
00:23:40another 0-2 count right here pitcher just in the driver's seat he can go anywhere he
00:23:46wants to go right here swings through it and that's a strikeout well that event seemed to
00:23:52be over as soon as it started three pitch strikeout you've got to be better at the
00:23:56plate right there at least to foul something off extend that at bat
00:24:03one out man at first here's Stanton now this one chopped on the ground but foul
00:24:18Zingy he's leading the way at the moment with the most home runs in the league
00:24:24bounced up the middle Williams takes it himself for one
00:24:28throw off line he's safe and a nice job there to keep it from getting away
00:24:33well he made the decision to try to take it himself at second and then throw for the
00:24:37double player over the first place but good hustle down the line you know it's a
00:24:42toss-up to think if he flipped it could they have gotten him I think you just have to go
00:24:46with your conviction 0-1 down on the ground right side
00:24:53gets him easily ends the inning one left for the Yankees they lead it 2-1
00:25:04as we go to the top of the fourth and now the catcher for the Rays Nick Fortes
00:25:09well these Rays do the great job Boog of just waiting for the right pitch to come their way and
00:25:20I'm seeing very patient at bats out of him he's only given up one run but the starters pitch count
00:25:25is starting to get up there and that might be the best news yet for this offense
00:25:29one up one down so they forced the starter to put in a lot of work and they've been
00:25:34able to get to him for some runs and hopefully that bullpen phone is working today
00:25:58to get up there and that misses ball one raised down by a run top half of inning number four
00:26:09and now two and one challenge from behind the dish here
00:26:16and a further review it was his strike still two challenges left for them
00:26:29good job to fight that one off
00:26:39here's a one-two
00:26:55that's down and in
00:27:06that's foul off to the right side keeps the AB going
00:27:18the kick the 3-2
00:27:22that's a great bat he saw a lot of pitches and earned a walk what a battle it's not always
00:27:27easy laying off a 3-2 pitch and I tell you what he earned that walk
00:27:32run around at first with one gone so next to the plate for Tampa Bay Victor Mesa jr
00:27:41rutter
00:27:48rutter takes off pitches low and that's a stolen base not even close
00:27:55well he had that base stolen as soon as he broke for second such a huge lead the pitcher's got
00:28:00to find a way to help out his catcher
00:28:02especially if he doesn't have a great throwing arm step off the rubber shrink that lead somehow create a little
00:28:08bit more time or maybe you can
00:28:10get that stolen base throw to second save
00:28:20line and that's a base head runner around third on his way to the plate he'll score an entire
00:28:27and he's into second base with one away as the go-ahead run well we're starting over again all tied
00:28:34up
00:28:34pretty much a model swing on that one is drifted into the opposite field gap and
00:28:38I'm sure he's gonna be watching that one back on video because that's the kind of
00:28:42swing you want to bottle so many positives that led to that now
00:28:49on the corner for a strike and it's all in one
00:29:01on the ground right side
00:29:04jazz toss the first
00:29:06awesome play there well there's a lot riding on that at bat right there nice job of the pitcher to
00:29:11bear down make the pitch get the ground ball
00:29:13excellent piece of work
00:29:15so the go-ahead rounded scoring position
00:29:18Junior Caminero next to hit for the Raves
00:29:21I'm curious how he decides to attack on the mound
00:29:24this guy at the plate has been great hitting under pressure this year
00:29:27ball one no strikes
00:29:29activity in the bullpen for the Yankees
00:29:31Will Warren up and loosening in the pen
00:29:34Doval getting loose as well
00:29:40the 1-0
00:29:42struggle a little bit in this one couple of strikeouts earlier but doing a much better job at this at
00:29:48bat to get ahead and find a good hitter's count at 2-0
00:29:53oh
00:29:54oh he doesn't get the call
00:29:55three balls no strikes
00:29:56and an ABS challenge coming from behind the dish
00:30:00it just shaved the zone
00:30:03they'll keep both their challenges
00:30:07runner at third
00:30:08runner at third
00:30:08two away
00:30:12that missed by a lot
00:30:14three and one
00:30:15Jonathan Aranda
00:30:16in the on deck circle hoping to get a chance to make a big impact here
00:30:263-1 now
00:30:29and that is out of play
00:30:31well he knows
00:30:33they don't want to give him anything to hit
00:30:34but when you've got opportunities to drive in runs
00:30:37you've got to expand the zone
00:30:39he's capable of going out there and doing damage with it
00:30:42foul
00:30:43we'll see another payoff pitch
00:30:56this one
00:30:57belted deep left field
00:30:59on its way
00:31:00gone
00:31:05home run number 45 on the year
00:31:08and the Rays take the lead
00:31:11it's 4-2
00:31:13the one thing the pitcher didn't want to happen
00:31:15just happened
00:31:16that's not an easy one to stumble
00:31:20knew what pitch he wanted to hit
00:31:21spit on some other pitches in this
00:31:23at bat was very patient
00:31:25and it paid off
00:31:31here comes the skipper
00:31:32and we're going to see a pitching change in this spot
00:31:35Max Freed will give way
00:31:36and it's going to be a start that he'd like to get a redo on
00:31:39but not his best
00:31:40back with the new arm in a minute
00:31:45now
00:31:46new pitcher now
00:31:48Will Warren
00:31:48pretty tight game
00:31:50so they're looking for quality pitches out of them right here
00:31:52got to do his best to keep the score right where it is
00:31:58he's
00:31:59he's
00:32:18oh
00:32:19two down nobody on
00:32:23no question about this one it's out of here
00:32:31they do it again back-to-back homers and they boost their lead it's 5-2
00:32:39zingy that's his 50th career homer 50 might not sound like a huge number but it's a nice little
00:32:44milestone that a lot of guys don't get to back-to-back homers always a special feeling
00:32:49at the ballpark especially if it's your team that does it and those guys get to
00:32:53slap hands at home plate this is the kind of thing that can really fire up a
00:32:57ballpark Yandy Diaz will hit next
00:33:05that's a strike across the top of the zone
00:33:17close but call the ball and now it's even one and one
00:33:25right through there for a strike
00:33:37swing and a ball lifted in the air that one gets down for a hit so a two out knock
00:33:43keeps
00:33:43the inning alive
00:33:56and ball run
00:34:07the one on the ground to Jazz over to first that alone the inning after a lot of score but
00:34:16two round
00:34:17trippers in this inning the long ball was working it's now 5-2 it's an AL East matchup here on
00:34:25MLB the show
00:34:28welcome back as we take a check at the current standings number number 22
00:34:42and that's in there at the knees for a strike
00:34:48this is a very important inning here after scoring all those runs you want your pitcher to come out and
00:34:53just mow them down the offense has worked hard it's shut down any time on the first one out in
00:35:00the bottom of the fourth
00:35:00though that looks routine but it hasn't been so easy for this club defensively this year and you got to
00:35:06make those routine plays behind the pitcher
00:35:09helps him to get more comfortable and move through this ball game
00:35:16right through there for a strike
00:35:17he's looking great so far it helps when over 80 percent of your first pitches are strikes
00:35:22he might be able to go the distance if he keeps this up
00:35:24comes up empty that's strike two
00:35:33swings and misses and he's registered three K's in this one and here's a look at how he's using his
00:35:41pitches in this one
00:35:46two down base is empty Bellinger up to hit
00:35:50he'll ground it out his first time on Bellinger
00:36:03and he grounds one to the right side
00:36:06that's the inning
00:36:09one two three go the Yankees
00:36:11and the deficit remains
00:36:12five two
00:36:20we go to the top of the fifth and stepping in for the Rays
00:36:23Johnny DeLuca
00:36:24Johnny DeLuca
00:36:31well these Rays putting together some really good at bats in this game
00:36:34there's been a lot to like with how they're approaching their chances at the plate
00:36:38it looked to me like they really wanted to get to the starter early
00:36:41get him out of the game before he settles in
00:36:43so I'd say mission accomplished
00:36:46what a way
00:36:47and if you're a manager or a hitting coach
00:36:50you love to see your guys really fighting for every at bat
00:36:53every pitch
00:36:54it tells you a lot about how they showed up to the ballpark today
00:37:03there it was
00:37:04oh oh here it is
00:37:05hit it
00:37:05he gets a take
00:37:07gets a head in the count
00:37:09now the 0-1
00:37:12oh
00:37:13Warren
00:37:13in his second season
00:37:1526 years old
00:37:16and he was drafted in the eighth round
00:37:19in 2021
00:37:21foul ball
00:37:28the one two
00:37:32this one in the air center field
00:37:35Grisham should have this one
00:37:37two away
00:37:40the batter number seven
00:37:42shortstop Carson
00:37:44so next to the plate for Tampa Bay
00:37:46Carson Williams
00:37:58two down nobody on
00:38:00and we're at the top of the fifth
00:38:05pop foul out of play off to the right
00:38:14here's the 0-2
00:38:18rarely will you see a pitcher just to waste a pitch like that
00:38:21the batter wasn't even tempted to swing
00:38:22every pitch needs to have a purpose so that it can set up a following pitch to help you get
00:38:27that out
00:38:28ground ball up the middle that's a base hit and that extends the inning
00:38:37really protecting with two strikes right there pitch wasn't even close but man he got the barrel to it somehow
00:38:43nice job of bad ball hitting
00:38:45swing and a foul straight back
00:38:51the 0-1
00:38:53towards first
00:38:55he takes it himself to the bag and that'll do it one left for Tampa they're still out in front
00:39:015-2
00:39:06bottom of the inning and stepping in for the Yankees Ryan McMahon
00:39:12base knock right field
00:39:17so now back to the top of the order
00:39:19well clearly he was ready to hit right there
00:39:22solid swing from start to end
00:39:24on time with everything
00:39:25really good balance
00:39:26nice extension
00:39:27and he met it
00:39:28one in second
00:39:30to first
00:39:31double play
00:39:32nicely done
00:39:33oh man what a smooth double play
00:39:36that was a thing of beauty from start to finish
00:39:44now it's Aaron Judge up to the plate
00:39:49and first offering is fouled off
00:39:54two down nobody on
00:39:57that one fouled off
00:40:00he's got to be pretty proud of this outing so far
00:40:03sometimes guys cower coming into a ballpark like this
00:40:06but he's attacked hitters pitching on the road like this is very impressive
00:40:10this has been a treat to watch
00:40:12and he couldn't hold back he's run up on strikes
00:40:17down in order go the Yankees
00:40:19they trail at 5-2
00:40:24back at the ballpark
00:40:25let's take a look at some of the moments that stand out to us
00:40:40here we go
00:40:53we'll see you guys
00:41:00Now pushing for Camilo Duvall gets handed the rock out of the pen.
00:41:04He has a great slider with tons of movement.
00:41:15That's off the mark and that's ball one.
00:41:26In the air left field, Bellinger takes it in for the out and there's one down.
00:41:35Up next for Tampa Bay, the third baseman, number 13, Junior Caminero.
00:41:40So digging in, Junior Caminero.
00:41:42He had a big swing back in the fourth, the two-run homer and that helped them get the lead.
00:41:47And what a swing it was, Booth.
00:41:49Poetry in motion and those are the type that you hardly feel when you connect with the baseball.
00:41:54Just so smooth, a great feeling off the bat.
00:42:05Movement in the Yankees pen.
00:42:07Paul Blackburn, the right-handed sinker baller.
00:42:10He looks to be readying himself.
00:42:12Yarbrough, a left-hander, also throwing.
00:42:19Swing and a miss and he chases that one in the dirt.
00:42:22But you got the hitter already chasing that nasty slider.
00:42:25If you're on the mound, you just want to expand the zone right now.
00:42:28Get a swing and miss and get through this at bat.
00:42:31Sharp grounder, that's through for a base hit.
00:42:34So they get a man aboard with a one-out single.
00:42:37These hitters today are so great with handling velocity.
00:42:41They're seeing high speeds day after day and a nice job of turning that one around.
00:43:00The one-out.
00:43:03In the air to left center.
00:43:05And that'll fall for a base hit.
00:43:07Around second on his way to third.
00:43:10He's in there.
00:43:12A couple of singles back-to-back.
00:43:13I don't know how he's able to shoot that pitch the other way and still put something on it.
00:43:18That pitch was inside and he let it get really deep.
00:43:21So pretty incredible hands to fight it off and still get good wood on it.
00:43:26Runners at the corners here.
00:43:27One away.
00:43:29Yandy Diaz next to hit for the Rays.
00:43:35And a strike right through there.
00:43:37That one at triple digits.
00:43:45Strike two.
00:43:46Big pitch right here.
00:43:47He's going to try to make a pitch.
00:43:49It's going to produce a strikeout or a ground ball double play.
00:43:55Swings through that one.
00:43:56It's a strikeout.
00:43:57That's that classic wipeout slider below the zone right there.
00:44:01Just nasty.
00:44:01Looks like a fastball thigh high that you've got to protect the zone.
00:44:05And then it's just that late break that fools you and kind of makes you look silly.
00:44:14Strike one.
00:44:24Two on, two outs.
00:44:26Fouled off left side.
00:44:38Pitch misses there.
00:44:40Going to count one and two.
00:44:48Swing and he popped it off.
00:44:50Chisholm gets under it.
00:44:51He makes the grab.
00:44:53And that'll do it.
00:44:54So the Rays strand a pair.
00:44:56And it remains 5-2.
00:45:03Back here in New York, bottom of the six.
00:45:05Jazz Chisholm Jr.
00:45:07Stepping in now for the Yankees.
00:45:10High fly ball right field.
00:45:12DeLuca in position.
00:45:16And a quick out number one.
00:45:19Almost a loud start to the inning on that first pitch.
00:45:22Man, he's going to want that one back, no doubt.
00:45:25The designated hitter, Giancarlo.
00:45:38And he'll do it.
00:45:41This one popped up.
00:45:44Aranda.
00:45:47Two down.
00:45:51Up next for the Yankees.
00:45:53The catcher, number 28.
00:45:54Two outs.
00:45:55Space is empty.
00:45:56Here's the catcher, Austin Wells.
00:46:01Swing and a miss.
00:46:03And he got him to.
00:46:13Chase.
00:46:18Close one.
00:46:20Doesn't get the call.
00:46:21Ball one.
00:46:30the Yankees trailing by three here in the bottom of the sixth that one misses
00:46:36and account is three and one Ben Rice on deck for the Yankees next offering is
00:46:45foul back and a payoff pitch that one drilled left field the round first and
00:46:59hustling for second and I'll make it to second base with two gone couldn't have
00:47:05timed it up any better than that nice job and driving that pitch the other way
00:47:09on the line you know hitters they take so many reps in the cages working on going
00:47:13to the opposite field and it doesn't always translate into the game but
00:47:16right there it did and he did it perfectly strike two
00:47:26after ball
00:47:33got him swinging
00:47:37so a two-out double but they don't score seventh inning coming up it's the Rays
00:47:42five and the Yankees two it's an AL East matchup here on MLB the show
00:47:53back in the Bronx their offense has produced a lot of hits so far as we see from the spray
00:47:59chart
00:47:59yeah it looks like they've been spreading it out pretty well in this one Boogs spraying the ball
00:48:04off over the yard good team effort at the dish
00:48:27swing and a foul back and that's out of play
00:48:30swing and a foul back and that's out of play
00:48:41Grisham on his way in pulls it down and he makes the catch and there's one away
00:48:50up next for Tampa Bay the catcher number 40 Nick for Ted
00:49:01tap foul at the plate
00:49:02tap foul at the plate
00:49:11here comes the 0-1
00:49:14foul ball there
00:49:24and that skips in the dirt
00:49:33on the ground right side and that one handled throws the first and two away to start the seven
00:49:43the batter
00:49:43the batter
00:49:44here comes the manager out of the dugout and he'll make a move for the bullpen
00:49:47Camilo Doval will depart
00:49:49it's a three-run game and we'll be back to tell you about the new arm in a minute
00:50:02out of the bullpen for the Yankees
00:50:04Paul Blackburn
00:50:05he's into the game with the bases
00:50:07this is empty
00:50:12and now the shortstop Carson Williams
00:50:20no
00:50:40two down nobody on and there's a foul ball
00:50:56battling here as he fouls it away
00:51:09and that's will the swing it's a strikeout
00:51:13it's the Rays five and the Yankees two
00:51:22now picking for the Rays
00:51:24number they go to the bullpen
00:51:26Cam Booser
00:51:27and as relievers go
00:51:28he's not a big strikeout guy
00:51:30tries to force weak contact
00:51:32so
00:51:32command and execution are huge for him
00:51:36this is the type of hitter his club wants it to play especially playing from behind
00:51:41he's hoping to start a rally right here
00:51:46swing and a ball head out towards left center field
00:51:49oh he dropped it
00:51:50takes the turn
00:51:51he's digging for second
00:51:53the throw in
00:51:54but he's in there easily
00:51:58up next for the Yankees
00:52:00the left fielder

00:52:34Ryan
00:52:36McMahon
00:52:38that's in for a strike
00:52:39so important to get ahead of these hitters
00:52:41you don't want to issue a free pass
00:52:43allow that tying run to come to the plate
00:52:45always want to keep that other team in a position
00:52:47where if they're going to beat you
00:52:48they're going to have to do it
00:52:50Hartliner
00:52:52base hit into the outfield
00:52:54Volpe flying around third and headed home
00:52:56and they cut the lead to two
00:52:58and he'll pull into second safely
00:53:01well done
00:53:02narrows the deficit with the RBI there

00:53:58it's an AL East matchup
00:54:01here on MLB The Show
00:54:04we're at the top of the eight
00:54:05here's the left fielder
00:54:07Victor Mason jr.
00:54:16really good cutter that he's able to front door and back door
00:54:20that pitch is devastating
00:54:22activity in the bullpen for the Yankees
00:54:24Ryan Yarbrough
00:54:25the veteran southpaw is getting ready to come on if needed
00:54:28heel getting cranked up as well
00:54:41out to short Volpe
00:54:45over to first
00:54:46first out in the top of the eight
00:54:49sinker low in the zone right there
00:54:51and produced exactly what he was looking for
00:54:53ball on the ground nice ground out
00:55:10on the ground and that chance handled sends it to first two up two down here in the top of
00:55:16the eight
00:55:17that's a good sinker is designed to do get a guy to roll over a little bit hit the ball
00:55:21on the ground kill some worms while you're at it
00:55:23two down base is empty
00:55:25Junior Caminero next to hit for the Rays
00:55:38that's a bullet but it goes foul
00:56:00two down

00:56:15and a one-two again up the middle oh look at the stop fires the first and very nicely done
00:56:23for
00:56:24the app that was a great job of doing the math he had the perfect angle diving stop completes the
00:56:29play and that ends the inning back in New York and stepping in for the Yankees jazz
00:56:41chisholm jr tapped in the plate but it's a foul ball that one finds the zone that is
00:56:53strike two swing and a miss struck him out and a key out leading off the bottom of the eight
00:57:01wow short work to sit down packing to start the inning and no messing around either all three
00:57:07pitches were in the strike zone attack mode all the way and that's pretty impressive given the
00:57:12pop he was dealing with at the plate
00:57:13oh that's inside
00:57:21that's towards center simpson drifts towards it that's out number two
00:57:28up next for the Yankees the catcher number 28

00:58:07new pitcher for the yankees release heel and we all know about his slider it's just
00:58:12filthy man and one of the better ones in the game i'd
00:58:23spin rate's very high and it just breaks a ton
00:58:31movement in the yankees pen mitch keller getting loose out there
00:58:39in the air left field
00:59:00that misses the zone and it's one to know

01:03:41foul ball

01:03:52Yankees with only one out remaining
01:03:54he came out of his mechanics there
01:03:56typically likes to shoot the ball the other way
01:03:58but that time
01:04:00little anxious
01:04:01so they're down to their final out
01:04:03ball

01:04:22they're down to their final strike
01:04:31and that's a base hit
01:04:33Joey gets on base and keeps it going
01:04:37that's tremendous fire from him and

01:05:09ball game
01:05:10and the Rays
01:05:11have won four in a row
01:05:14after four wins in a row
01:05:16you start to think a little bit that you're on a roll
01:05:18and that's the momentum
01:05:20that just takes on a life of its own
01:05:22when players start hitting up and down the lineup
01:05:24you never know who's going to come up with the big hit
01:05:26who's going to come out of the bullpen and get the big outs
01:05:28but it's a good feeling
01:05:29and you want to extend it
