00:00:30It's the Tampa Bay Rays taking on the Philadelphia Phillies.
00:00:35First pitch coming at you right after the break.
00:00:51And on the mound for Philadelphia in this one, Jesus Lizardo.
00:00:55He's near the top in strikeouts, and opponents still haven't figured him out.
00:01:00Yeah, his swing and miss is nasty.
00:01:02Baffling would-be hitters on a weekly basis.
00:01:05It's not just his power.
00:01:06It's his command of the strike zone that jumps out to me, Singhi.
00:01:10Yeah, he must see TV.
00:01:11Sign me up for that subscription.
00:01:13Every game is a pitching clinic.
00:01:15Chandler Simpson leading things off and takes his strike.
00:01:27Yeah, Singhi, he doesn't just hit it far.
00:01:30He hits it loud.
00:01:31Yeah, the ballpark doesn't stand a chance when he squares it up.
00:01:34That tater total just keeps climbing.
00:01:36Tater total to third.
00:01:41Sends it across to first.
00:01:43One out in the top of the first.
00:01:45Now a look at Kevin Cash's lineup for the Tampa Bay Rays.
00:01:49A guy who's been huge for them over the last month plus, Yandy Diaz.
00:01:54Not doing anything crazy right now, but he's been solid over the last ten games.
00:01:58And hey, with that batting average, if it was over the course of a full season,
00:02:01I'm talking about Hall of Fame numbers.
00:02:033-33 over the last ten games.
00:02:05One for three doesn't seem that impressive, but you know what?
00:02:09It's tough to do when you consider a longer stretch.
00:02:12They're going to enjoy this little run right now.
00:02:23That one hammered center field.
00:02:26That's got a chance.
00:02:29On his toes, pulls it back over the wall.
00:02:37Jonathan Aranda now at the plate.
00:02:39Chris, he's definitely going to finish the year with a new career high in homers.
00:02:43We just don't know how many he's going to hit quite yet.
00:02:48And immediately pumps in a strike to the left-handed hitter.
00:02:51Out there on the mound, he's setting the tone early with the fastball.
00:02:5598 miles per hour up on the scoreboard.
00:03:00Ball one.
00:03:12Now one and two.
00:03:13See if he can go upstairs a little bit.
00:03:15Make sure you miss up and out of the zone since you're heading to count one, two.
00:03:19Don't miss in the zone because that's where you get hurt.
00:03:32On the ground, the first.
00:03:34He takes it himself to the bag, and that'll do it.
00:03:39Phillies coming up to hit.
00:03:40No score.
00:03:41This is Ray's baseball on the show, Florida.
00:03:48Ready to go for the last half of the inning.
00:03:50And starting on the mound for the Rays, Griffin Jacks.
00:03:54What do you have on him, Singy?
00:03:56Boog, this guy usually turns in a very good outing.
00:03:58His teammates really enjoy when he's on the mound.
00:04:01Everyone seems to be loose, which can help the offense be a bit more dangerous.
00:04:05So, if you look at the opposing lineup, they're hoping he doesn't just settle in.
00:04:10They want to make this an uncomfortable start from the beginning.
00:04:14Fires to first.
00:04:16One gone bottom half of the first.
00:04:18And time now for the Phillies lineup.
00:04:20Someone who makes things happen for them, in part with his legs, Derek Hill.
00:04:24Big time speed here, Boog.
00:04:26A guy with just terrific wheels and an absolute nightmare for opposing pitchers when he's on base.
00:04:32I mean, players like this who have elite speed, it's like disruptive technology on the base paths.
00:04:38Man, can't wait to watch him run.
00:04:39Bryce Harper now at the plate as he swings through strike one.
00:04:43Straighten him up a little bit.
00:04:48Swing and a ground ball.
00:04:52To first.
00:04:53Hurrah!
00:04:53Here tonight, an efficient start to the home first, two away.
00:04:57Hey, man, four pitches, two outs.
00:04:59That is an excellent pace.
00:05:07Oh, that's down.
00:05:13That one's in there.
00:05:14And the count is one and one.
00:05:19Ground ball right side.
00:05:21He takes it himself to the bag, and that'll do it.
00:05:25We played an inning.
00:05:27No score.
00:05:28No score.
00:05:32We move ahead to the top of the second now, and stepping in for the raise, Yandy Diaz.
00:05:43That one is looking for there in the 0-0 count.
00:05:45Looks like he wants the ball down in his own.
00:05:53That one almost got him.
00:06:15Sharp grounder.
00:06:16That's through for a base hit.
00:06:19So, a runner aboard to start the inning.
00:06:23Good start for him to this ballgame tonight.
00:06:25I always talk about getting a knock in your first at bat.
00:06:27It just makes your confidence.
00:06:30It's such a higher level for the potential of having a big night.
00:06:40Palacios launched a homer in his most recent game.
00:06:50Lozardo in his seventh season, 28 years old, and he was a third-round pick back in 2016.
00:07:03The 1-1.
00:07:06Popped up to the left.
00:07:07Into foul ground.
00:07:11And there's one away.
00:07:12Bill, that was a pitch you got to crush.
00:07:15Unbelievable that he missed it right there.
00:07:17I'm telling you, he is going to be frustrating with himself until his next at bat.
00:07:20So, next to the plate for Tampa Bay, Johnny DeLuca.
00:07:24Singing when the year's over, he'll have a new career high for RBIs in a season.
00:07:31Outside.
00:07:33And that's ball one.
00:07:45Diaz, the runner at first with one gone to the inning.
00:07:51And there's a strike.
00:07:52Good heater at 98.
00:07:54That's not the first time they've watched a fastball zip by for a strike.
00:07:58I don't know if they're taking intentionally in those spots,
00:08:00but I'd like to see them more aggressive with those pitches.
00:08:03Popped up, stopped.
00:08:05Should have this one.
00:08:06Takes it in for the out.
00:08:11Batting seventh, catcher Nick Forten.
00:08:23And that's in there at the knees for a strike.
00:08:27No score here in the second.
00:08:36On the ground to third.
00:08:37They take the force out, and that will end the inning.
00:08:41We'll go to the bottom of the second.
00:08:43No score.
00:08:50Back at Citizens Bank Park.
00:08:52Bottom of the inning.
00:08:53JT Real Muto stands in for the Phillies.
00:09:06Pretty good pitch to take a pass at in a 1-0 count.
00:09:10Just not able to square it up.
00:09:13This one in the air center field.
00:09:17He's got it.
00:09:18One up, one down.
00:09:22Batting fifth, third baseman, Alex Bones.
00:09:30Just missed.
00:09:31Nope, catch the ball.
00:09:37Hey.
00:09:44The 1-1 is fouled off.
00:09:52There's a swing and a drive.
00:09:56Carrying well.
00:09:57And that one is out of here.
00:10:01His ninth homer of the year.
00:10:04And they jump ahead in the second.
00:10:06It's one sip.
00:10:07That's a fun way to take the lead.
00:10:09Just hit one out of the park.
00:10:22That's an impressive swing of the bat to go over the wall to the opposite field gap.
00:10:27And, you know, there are a lot of guys that just don't have the pop to do that.
00:10:31And probably just as many who don't have the approach either.
00:10:34He let that ball travel.
00:10:35He got great extension on the follow-through to drive it out of here.
00:10:38Justin Crawford, batting with one down, takes a strike.
00:10:43In the air to left center, Palacios under it.
00:10:48And there's two down.
00:10:55Batting seventh center fielder, Brian De La Cue.
00:11:04Hey!
00:11:08Two down, base is empty, but one run across.
00:11:11Bottom half of inning number two.
00:11:24But one-two.
00:11:26Battling here as he fouls it away.
00:11:35Chew down, nobody on.
00:11:38Hard hit, right side.
00:11:41That's the third out, inning over.
00:11:45The Phillies get won by way of the long ball.
00:11:48It's now a one-nothing ball game.
00:11:55Back here, Citizens Bank Park, and stepping in for the Rays, Carson Williams.
00:12:07That one misses.
00:12:09Ball one.
00:12:10Catch your challenge.
00:12:11We'll take another look.
00:12:14And on further review, it was a strike.
00:12:17Still two challenges left for them.
00:12:23You'll want.
00:12:39And that's in for a strike.
00:12:41If he doesn't get a knock right here, that pitch he just took is going to eat at him for
00:12:45a while.
00:12:45You might not see another pitch like that from a top-level guy like this.
00:12:50Swings, through it, and that's a strikeout.
00:12:52I love to see guys compete, and I know he's frustrated that he wasn't able to do anything with that
00:12:57pitch.
00:12:57You see it so well, but you have to respect the upper 90s velocity.
00:13:02Man, it is hard to catch up to.
00:13:13Ball, that's just out.
00:13:25Right side.
00:13:27Into the outfield base hit.
00:13:29And that's a one-out single.
00:13:33Up next.
00:13:34Just one of those seeing eye base hits through the infield.
00:13:37He just kind of rolled over on it a little bit, but sometimes those can find a hole and get
00:13:41you enough.
00:13:41Now it's going to be Chandler Simpson.
00:13:48in step off throw the first and he's back in easily lux the base runner at first with one out
00:13:59and that's in there for a strike and now it's even
00:14:10hard grounder into the outfield for a knock
00:14:14they get it in quickly so first and second down one out that ups his hitting streak to lucky number
00:14:2013 the bankers doesn't bug and it doesn't seem like a huge number but anytime you get to the
00:14:28point where you've hit in every game for almost two weeks straight that's a sign of what kind of
00:14:33rhythm you're in that's in for a strike well all eyes on the double play ball in this spot
00:14:41no better way to get out of this inning
00:14:49the sliding stop and short throw to first nicely done for the hour
00:14:56up next for Tampa Bay the designated hitter Jonathan Aranda a great sliding stop I think we need a
00:15:04breakdown from stack cast to fully appreciate the difficulty of that play yeah these numbers show
00:15:10how good of a play it actually was and that sliding catch was difficult enough and somehow he still
00:15:17managed a great throw to first what a play Aranda in the box now take strike one
00:15:45back here in Philadelphia it's that time of the season let's check out some notable trade candidates
00:16:02and the first pitch misses for ball one
00:16:11recent games and a big reason why getting ahead and counts he's been able to do that consistently
00:16:18nope and you see the results
00:16:26right through there for a strike
00:16:33way out front for strike two
00:16:42into center and a base hit so a man on base to start the inning
00:17:00and a foul ball this is one of those situations defensively where you can't try to do too much you
00:17:07got to make sure that you feel the ball cleanly and get one out first it's gonna be tough to
00:17:11get to
00:17:12with this kind of speed in the batter's box here's the o2 struck him out looking well executed pitch on
00:17:22the outside part of the plate
00:17:33this is Bryson stock he's all for one
00:17:47man at first one away
00:17:51and a foul ball
00:18:00that one kicks away from the catcher
00:18:06Sosa into scored position on the wild pitch and there goes the double play possibility
00:18:12well that right there erases the chance at the inning ending double play so good job on the bases to
00:18:17move up on the wild pitch changes the outlook of the ending in a pretty big way
00:18:22wide drive base hit coming home here comes the throw save in comes the run from second
00:18:29it's 2-0
00:18:31picks himself up at RBI
00:18:32and now they've got some speed on first so we'll see if they try to get him into motion
00:18:39and a major milestone is right around the corner
00:18:42one home run short of 400 for his career
00:18:50oh yeah well that's all the play say when he hits number 400 that's run around the goal pitch in
00:18:56for a strike
00:18:58save in second and that was not close
00:19:01when your catcher's not a great thrower you have to do a better job of controlling the running game and
00:19:06that's throwing over that's stepping off
00:19:08doing whatever you can to try to keep that base stealer's rhythm off
00:19:11well they weren't able to do it right there they're gonna have to make some type of adjustment
00:19:16line drive base hit
00:19:19stop around third
00:19:20he'll score easily
00:19:22it's an RBI single
00:19:24and they take the three run lead
00:19:27Carl has a great job of letting that runner steal second base get in the scoring position
00:19:31come through with the base knock
00:19:32you add a run
00:19:37that one close rule the ball ball one Harper leads off first with one away
00:19:51and now the count one and two after the swing and the miss
00:19:59ball that's up there
00:20:09keeps the at bat going with a foul ball
00:20:17and a base hit up the middle
00:20:20lead runner makes the turn at second
00:20:23the relay to third in there safely
00:20:26he was all over that one
00:20:28timing on the swing was good
00:20:30able to shoot the ball up the middle
00:20:31didn't square it up as much as he probably would have liked but that's a good approach paying off
00:20:38real Muto
00:20:39at the plate now and that's inside
00:20:43swing and a pop-up
00:20:48takes it in for the out
00:20:55up next for the Philly
00:20:57third baseman
00:20:59Alex
00:21:01go
00:21:07nope that's down
00:21:14two balls
00:21:15two balls no strikes the count he's just missing with some pitches that
00:21:18I mean those are they're not strikes and that's what you think oh good pitch is a strike but
00:21:23three times pitchers are trying to tease the zone and the last two pitches that he's thrown
00:21:27good pitches but even better takes
00:21:29good pitches but even better takes
00:21:44three
00:21:45sets him down looking
00:21:47they limit the damage here
00:21:49so it's two runs on four hits
00:21:52no errors and a couple left on
00:21:54on to inning number four
00:21:56it's the Phillies three the Rays nothing
00:22:00back here in Philadelphia and stepping in for the Rays
00:22:03Yandy Diaz
00:22:15he's one of the best players in baseball when it comes to scoring runs singe
00:22:19his numbers are good enough to put him in the top 10
00:22:26and that's downstairs and now it's even one and one
00:22:36rips that one to right
00:22:39and a quick out number one
00:22:47now batting left fielder number one
00:22:59yeah the offense has gotten going and a pitcher wants to go out there have a real quick inning get
00:23:04those guys back into the dugout
00:23:05so those bats can stay hot
00:23:11chases that one upstairs
00:23:13yeah I don't think anyone's got good numbers swinging the pitches in that location
00:23:21swings and misses struck him out
00:23:24felt clearly just anxious right there and understandably so in an 0-2 count you feel like you've got a
00:23:30lot of plate to cover
00:23:31and you don't want to strike out and you end up striking out that's just one of those pitches where
00:23:36it's not over the plate but because you committed to it as it was leaving his hand
00:23:40on a line
00:23:43that's a fair ball and it's getting into the corner
00:23:45throws to second
00:23:48not going to get him
00:23:49he's in there
00:23:50didn't take long to get a result for that at bat
00:23:53that's a good sound coming off the bat man and as he connected out front and lifted into the outfield
00:23:58that's one of those swings where you just don't even feel the ball hit the barrel
00:24:02that's a pure stroke
00:24:04sole runner at second
00:24:05two down
00:24:06Nick Fortes digs in now
00:24:08he's been incredibly efficient in this one
00:24:11first pitch strike percentage over 70%
00:24:13that's well above league average and that's what's allowed him to pitch well up into this point
00:24:19line drive that's a base hit
00:24:21rounds third headed for the plate
00:24:24he will score
00:24:25it's an RBI single
00:24:27and they cut the lead to two
00:24:29now that is shortstop
00:24:31number seven
00:24:374-1
00:24:49out towards right center field
00:24:53and that is that
00:24:56so one run in the inning on this base hit
00:25:00it's now a 3-1 ball game
00:25:02this is Rays baseball on the show Florida
00:25:08back at Citizens Bank Park
00:25:09bottom of the fourth
00:25:10Justin Crawford
00:25:12stands in for the Phillies
00:25:14no appeal
00:25:15and it's 1-0
00:25:20hammered on a line into left
00:25:21base hit
00:25:24around first
00:25:24heading for two
00:25:27and he'll pull into second safely
00:25:31well a swing like that can help you come out of the struggle
00:25:34we saw the numbers coming into the ball game
00:25:37but all he's trying to do at this point is help his team win
00:25:47swing and a ball lifted in the air
00:25:49Simpson in position
00:25:51and makes the grab
00:25:52runner tags at second
00:25:54relay throw to third
00:25:55he makes it to third
00:25:57good base running to move up with only one out
00:26:00and here's a look at how he's using his pitches in this one
00:26:06and here is Sosa to the plate
00:26:09one for one with a single and a run scored so far
00:26:14in there for a strike at the top of the zone
00:26:21in the air right field
00:26:24he makes the grab
00:26:25runner tags from third
00:26:27plays the play
00:26:28not in time
00:26:29he's safe
00:26:30it's 4-1
00:26:32that play really shows how important it is to hit the cutoff man
00:26:35looked like he tried to throw through and get the runner at home
00:26:38but it backfired
00:26:39and it ended up costing them a run
00:26:41I remember my rookie
00:26:43overthrowing the cutoff man
00:26:45didn't last long before I was pulled aside by a veteran pitcher
00:26:48he had a talk with me
00:26:49I don't know if I ever missed a cutoff man again
00:26:52so the call will stand
00:26:54so that removes their last shot
00:27:05and he's down 0-2 as he swings through it
00:27:10really good take especially with two strikes
00:27:17then he takes
00:27:18stays alive
00:27:24two down dobbi on
00:27:26whoa that damn
00:27:32got him looking
00:27:33that K is his third of the game we're headed to the fifth it's the Phillies
00:27:38for the Rays one all set for the start of the inning and stepping in for the
00:27:47Rays Gavin Lux
00:27:55well these Rays doing a good job of putting the ball into play and that
00:27:59makes things more challenging on the defensive side the numbers tell us
00:28:02they're averaging more than a hit every inning and they've only struck out
00:28:06twice so they keep finding ways to put their bat on the ball
00:28:11you'll too
00:28:16and it's fouled off they'll do it again
00:28:29chases the fastball up the ladder struck him out that's tough you see it well I mean that was
00:28:34clearly up and out of the strike zone but that's one of the hardest things that when you see a
00:28:39pitch
00:28:39out of the hand at eye level that discipline to remember I can't hit that pitch if I can see
00:28:46it
00:28:46really well at eye level I can't catch up to that pitch when a pitcher's got this kind of velocity
00:28:56the 0-1
00:29:01and ball one
00:29:02evidently not too impressed with that call and it feels like he got squeezed on the outside corner so
00:29:08he's making his case you've got to be careful to pick your spots in terms of showing your frustration with
00:29:13the umpire and he felt this was his time
00:29:15pulls it in on the run out number two and you know we're living in the launch angle era but
00:29:22today feels like we're being treated to a throwback performance talking about those ground ball numbers in this one
00:29:28so next to the play for Tampa Bay Junior Caminero
00:29:37rip to short
00:29:39and it's a one two three inning it's the Phillies for the Rays one
00:29:52now pitching for they turn things over to the southpaw Cam Boozer he's pitching on two days rest
00:30:05and that's in there at the knees for a strike
00:30:10swings through the sweeper
00:30:16liner
00:30:17snagged at first
00:30:18that swing right there tells me he's seeing the ball pretty well I know it didn't produce a hit but
00:30:23he made solid contact and that's all you're looking to do
00:30:26anytime you're at the plate
00:30:28there's something pretty special about a player hitting 400 career home runs he's one shy of that mark right here
00:30:34so this could be an historic at bat
00:30:36I
00:30:42yep that ball went out
00:30:47check swing and he went it's a ball and two strikes
00:30:53and two strikes
00:30:53drilled in the air out towards right center
00:30:55Simpson moving under it
00:30:58and there's two away
00:31:05up
00:31:05up next for the Phillies
00:31:06dedicated hitter
00:31:08Kyle
00:31:10Schwarber
00:31:13his home run numbers stand out Chris nobody is hit more in his team
00:31:20there's a strike
00:31:21there's a strike 95 of that one
00:31:28ball inside
00:31:30two down nobody on last half of inning number five
00:31:35outside room
00:31:36that account is three and one
00:31:41comes up empty that strike two
00:31:49hanging in there pretty good against the lefty
00:31:54playoff pitch
00:32:08pitcher having a pretty tough time getting that swing and miss third foul ball in a row
00:32:13two down nobody on cuts on it misses that's a strikeout
00:32:19he battled for a long time but it finishes with a strikeout
00:32:22you can't be mad at yourself after an at bat like that one
00:32:27welcome back as we look at the highlights from today's game so far
00:32:31it was the time that i was close to the end
00:32:35fading fire
00:32:35you were switching them across the night sky
00:32:38out of the open ocean
00:32:40i'll never let you go again
00:32:44i followed your footsteps through the dark
00:32:47the colors shaping amazing display
00:32:50but aurora's not as bright as your smile beneath the light of distant stars
00:32:55Jonathan Aranda the next to hit
00:32:58the desert David hitter Jonathan Aranda
00:33:12some hitters are just more confident if they can track that first pitch out of the hand of the pitcher
00:33:16they don't care if they fall behind 0-1
00:33:25hit hard base hit
00:33:26and a man aboard
00:33:33up next for Tampa Bay
00:33:35first baseman Dondi Diaz
00:33:42ball one no strikes
00:33:44now this team is definitely looking for a big swing of the bat right here
00:33:48try to close that gap
00:33:49but you know at the very least if you can find a way to manufacture that run from first
00:33:53it feels like it's really important to getting back into this ball game
00:33:56this one in the air center field
00:34:00and there's one down
00:34:05now
00:34:06now batting left fielder number one
00:34:10one out man at first
00:34:12Richie Palacios
00:34:13next to hit for the raise
00:34:15three pitch strikeout
00:34:16last time up
00:34:17got to put up more of a fight in this one
00:34:20and immediately pumps in a strike to the left handed hitter
00:34:23so important to get ahead of these hitters
00:34:25you don't want to issue a free pass and allow that tying run to come to the plate
00:34:29always going to keep that other team in a position where if they're going to beat you
00:34:32they're going to have to do it with multiple hits
00:34:36Aranda at first one gone
00:34:38knowing that the pitcher wants a ground ball double play opportunity here
00:34:42you've got to lay off pitches down in the zone
00:34:45right there swinging at that pitch that's a no no
00:34:47well take a look at the three pitch sequence here
00:34:49pretty simple in terms of putting them away at the plate
00:34:52once you're ahead 0-2 as a pitcher
00:34:54you can really expand the zone and see how aggressive that hitter is going to be
00:34:58trying to protect and battle
00:35:00and right there clearly he was in swing mode
00:35:02but all you can do is hope to foul that off
00:35:09it's a tough pitch
00:35:10but in terms of the best pitch you're going to get to hit in the at bat
00:35:14that fastball was down enough where you're going to catch up to one that's the one
00:35:20there's a swing and a drive that's back
00:35:24long gone
00:35:28the two run shot
00:35:30home run number 15 on the year
00:35:32and they cut into the deficit
00:35:35he's been so difficult to pitch against lately
00:35:38it seems like no matter how you attack him he finds a way to punish you
00:35:42that's exactly the pitch he was looking for
00:35:45crushes it and hits it out of the ballpark
00:35:56so two down here's the catcher Nick Fortes
00:36:03and there's his stripe good heater at 98
00:36:14top of the zone for a called stride
00:36:16well I didn't like those first two pitches down in 0-2 hole
00:36:20he's going to have to battle hope he gets a mistake
00:36:27double barreled action in the bullpen
00:36:29orion kirkering the hard-throwing right he is up and loosening
00:36:33Keller getting cranked up as well
00:36:37two down nobody on
00:36:42swing and a high fly ball left field
00:36:46and that'll do it
00:36:49the rays creep closer thanks to the homer
00:36:53to the bottom of the sixth inning
00:36:54you're watching Tampa Bay Rays baseball on the show Florida
00:37:02back here at the ballpark let's check out the latest news from around the league
00:37:06JT
00:37:07go to go
00:37:16pretty good as far as being in the strike zone but I'm sure as a hitter
00:37:20not too good with where it was located very top of the strike zone middle away
00:37:25ball
00:37:33and that is cut on and missed
00:37:35gonna count one and two
00:37:39fly ball down the line
00:37:43now there's one away
00:37:50up next for the Philly
00:37:53third baseman
00:37:54and now it's Alec Boll
00:37:56he launched the solo shot back in the second inning of this one
00:37:59yeah that was big for these guys early on
00:38:01definitely helped him get off onto the right foot
00:38:12that one fouled off
00:38:21foul ball there
00:38:26and the O2
00:38:28ball that's too high
00:38:36out to short
00:38:40over to Diaz
00:38:42two away
00:38:43up next for the Philly
00:38:45right fielder
00:38:46Justin
00:38:49Crawford
00:39:02two down nobody on here in the bottom of the sixth
00:39:05that's out
00:39:15in the air to left center
00:39:16Simpson turns to the right on the move
00:39:19but the left fielder calls him off and makes the catch
00:39:24and the inning is over
00:39:25no runs no hits no errors
00:39:28we're through six full
00:39:29it's the Phillies four
00:39:31and the Rays three
00:39:34on the mound now
00:39:36Orion
00:39:36should be a good first matchup for him here
00:39:39he's been doing a great job against right-handed bats so far this season
00:39:44they've had a lot of trouble squaring him up
00:39:45they
00:39:46and
00:39:51stepping in for the Rays
00:39:52Carson Williams
00:39:59ball that time
00:40:07right through there for a strike
00:40:09right through there for a strike
00:40:28good
00:40:28looking to get the tying run on base
00:40:30puts it in the air out towards left center
00:40:35and there's one down
00:40:40up next for Tampa Bay
00:40:42second baseman
00:40:43Gavin Luff
00:40:54well we call that keyhole
00:40:57even though it's right there and looks pretty good
00:40:59if he doesn't love it
00:41:00he's not going to swing that early in the count
00:41:07deal one
00:41:09right side hard hit
00:41:11Harper takes it to the bag
00:41:13and two away to start the seven
00:41:15that play won't be trending on social media later on
00:41:18but it's still important to execute it to perfection
00:41:21this game is a lot harder than it looks partner
00:41:32Simpson one stands in but two away as he takes a ball
00:41:43the ball
00:41:44that clips the corner
00:41:54out towards left center
00:41:57brings it in with a nice running grab
00:42:00and that is that
00:42:01nothing doing for the offense that time
00:42:03seventh inning stretch time
00:42:05it's the Phillies four
00:42:10we're back in a new pitcher here to start the bottom of the seventh
00:42:13Cole Solser
00:42:14and as relievers go he's not a big strikeout guy
00:42:18tries to force weak contact
00:42:20so command and execution are huge for him
00:42:40the one one
00:42:42and that's in for a strike no need to offer it that pitch until you get to two strikes it's
00:42:47just a low percentage of success when you want to try to go after that down and away pitch
00:42:52fouls it back with two strikes
00:42:54fouls it back with two strikes
00:42:55fouls it back with two strikes
00:43:00fouled off and they'll do it again
00:43:11missed with a change up ball to recognize that change up right out of the hand just spit on it
00:43:16and that one is lifted in the air brings it in one down
00:43:26up next for the Phillies the shortstop Edmundo Sosa
00:43:37check swing he went and that's strike one
00:43:47right there for a strike
00:43:55got him swinging that cutter right there had just enough movement on it to get the swing
00:43:59and miss wasn't a great location by any means that's typically a spot that hitters can handle
00:44:05so I'd say he fooled him with just enough of that late action
00:44:12started after it appeal to first did not go
00:44:18chew down nobody on live drive base hit
00:44:25saw the two out knock extends the inning and sends them back to the top of the
00:44:29order
00:44:30up next for the Phillies Bryson stop stands in for the Phillies
00:44:39swing and a pop-up in foul ground
00:44:44that is the inning
00:44:49Phillies strand one and it remains a 4-3 game
00:45:01welcome back in a new arm on the mound to start D8 Brad Keller well he's been a really tough
00:45:06guy to take deep this season you usually have to string some hits together in order to get to him
00:45:28for the Phillies
00:45:34for the Phillies
00:45:36for the Phillies
00:46:04That's ball two.
00:46:13Two-two.
00:46:16Gets a piece and stays alive.
00:46:29Ground ball in the middle.
00:46:31That's a base hit.
00:46:34And that puts the tying run on base.
00:46:41A perfect example right there.
00:46:44That plate discipline, it pays off.
00:46:46The deeper he gets into account, the more comfortable he becomes.
00:46:50And he usually wins the battle.
00:46:53Clips the corner, strike one.
00:47:02In the air, left field.
00:47:06And there's one down.
00:47:18One-out man at first.
00:47:21Yandy Diaz now.
00:47:22One for three.
00:47:31Diaz needs just one hit to reach 200 for the season.
00:47:35Raised down by a run.
00:47:37And we're in the top of the eighth.
00:47:43Swing and a drive.
00:47:45This one is crushed.
00:47:46No doubt about it.
00:47:48And here in the late stages, they have the lead.
00:47:52A two-run blast.
00:47:54And they've rallied from three back.
00:47:57It's 5-4.
00:47:59These fans are just heartbroken right now.
00:48:21A good hitter gets pitch recognition early.
00:48:25He saw exactly where that was going to be.
00:48:27The challenge, not get over anxious and come out of your swing.
00:48:31He stayed on it and got all over.
00:48:45Close, but called the ball.
00:48:47Ball one.
00:48:48Man, I can't imagine what he's feeling approaching this milestone boog.
00:48:52Look, I mean, I got to see Jim Tomey hit his 500th home run in Chicago.
00:48:56And this guy's already passed Lou Gehrig, Stan Musial, Willie Stargell.
00:49:01And he's on the cusp of joining a club of around 30.
00:49:04It's all legends from here on.
00:49:11Here's a 2-0 on the ground.
00:49:15Stop.
00:49:17Now, two out.
00:49:20Up next for Tampa Bay, right fielder Johnny DeLuca.
00:49:24Here comes a skipper out of the dugout, and he's ready to make the move.
00:49:28Brad Keller done for the night, and he leaves in a one-run game.
00:49:32New pitcher coming up, we'll be back in a minute.
00:49:42Now, here's the new pitcher for the Phillies, Colby Allard.
00:49:46Pretty tight game, so they're looking for quality pitches out of him right here.
00:49:50Got to do his best to keep the score right where it is.
00:50:17Do Luka in the box with two gone, and takes a look at a called strike.
00:50:31Ripped, but a curls foul.
00:50:34Allard, 28 years old, the former first-round pick back in 2015.
00:50:42Two down, Dolby Allard.
00:50:46Caught him looking for the K.
00:50:50The Rays with a two-run homer.
00:50:53Home half of inning number eight straight ahead.
00:50:55You're watching Tampa Bay Rays baseball on the show, Florida.
00:51:03Back here in Philadelphia, and now for the Phillies, Bryce Harper.
00:51:08Bryce Harper.
00:51:12Harper would reach 400 career homers with one more long ball.
00:51:17And another ball.
00:51:26The 2-0 is in for a strike.
00:51:32And that one fouled off.
00:51:39That misses the zone.
00:51:42Full combat.
00:51:45Knocks that one away, and will do it again.
00:51:53And he walked in, and after that long battle, he's aboard representing the tying run.
00:52:05Up next for the Phillies, Jankic made it hitter, Kyle Schwarber.
00:52:13Pulled hard, but it's a foul ball.
00:52:24So now it's all about protect mode.
00:52:27Try to shorten up.
00:52:28Try to track the ball.
00:52:29Block it if you have to, as far as just a late swing that maybe you're not sure about.
00:52:33But some way, somehow, climb back into this attack, do the count.
00:52:38Lead runner holds up.
00:52:39They're at first and second with nobody out.
00:52:42Love how he let that ball travel, trusted his hands.
00:52:45Nice job of going the other way.
00:52:50Here comes Real Muto.
00:52:510 for 3 in this one.
00:52:54This ball's chopped on the ground.
00:52:56Oh, a great flip.
00:52:58A sensational double play.
00:53:00He's so good at coming across the bag and snagging it with the bare hand to throw.
00:53:05I like the flair that he brings day in and day out.
00:53:22Right through there for a strike.
00:53:24So after the double play, he's trying to pick up his teammate and tie this game.
00:53:28The Rays holding on to a one-run lead.
00:53:32Here the bottom half of the eighth inning.
00:53:34And a bat like this is almost over as it begins.
00:53:37In this situation, you have no idea what the next pitch is going to be.
00:53:41You just got to hope that you can make contact.
00:53:43This one in the air center field.
00:53:46Simpson drops steps, heads back on it.
00:53:48And that is the third out of the inning.
00:53:50Well, this guy competes hard.
00:53:53We see the emotion there.
00:53:54I love it.
00:53:55Great job of getting out of the jam.
00:54:02We're back.
00:54:03It's the top of the ninth.
00:54:04And there's a new pitcher on the mound.
00:54:06Tanner Banks.
00:54:07And he's done a great job keeping the ball in the park this year.
00:54:11The numbers stack up with some of the best in the game.
00:54:14Well, one-run game leading off Nick Fortes.
00:54:21Wow, just a beautiful backdoor slider right there.
00:54:23If you've got any chance of hitting that pitch,
00:54:25you'd have to wait until the absolutely last millisecond.
00:54:29Just a tough pitch to hit.
00:54:31This one swung on and hit well.
00:54:33Way back there.
00:54:35Gone!
00:54:38His ninth homer of the year.
00:54:40And they add to the lead.
00:54:42It's 6-4.
00:54:44A little more breathing room is always a good thing in baseball.
00:54:47And now they have it.
00:54:53He's so good at getting his arms extended.
00:54:56And that's exactly what he did right there.
00:54:58You don't typically want to pull a pitch in that part of the plate.
00:55:01But he doesn't allow his wrists to roll over.
00:55:04Stays through the ball.
00:55:05Gets the lock.
00:55:06And gets the home run.
00:55:07Hey!
00:55:19That's the third.
00:55:22Handles throws the first.
00:55:24Now one gone in the ninth.
00:55:26Up next for Tampa Bay.
00:55:27Here's Gavin Luck.
00:55:41Hey!
00:55:52in the air right field Crawford has a beat on it that's out number two maybe caught that one
00:55:58off the end just a little bit couldn't quite barrel it up enough to really drive it
00:56:21ball in
00:56:29in for a strike went with the sweeper
00:56:39so now one and two
00:56:50got him third out
00:56:55solo homer extends the lead for tampa bay it's now a 6-4 ball game
00:57:07we're back and on the mound is the closer
00:57:09ryan baker pretty remarkable what he's done in the closer role this year 49 saves so far going for number
00:57:1750 right here
00:57:20that one ripped left field that's back there
00:57:25and it is gone it's his eighth home run of the year and just like that they're within a run
00:57:35these fans are really
00:57:37excited right now
00:58:06welcome to the game
00:58:10here in the ball and there's one on the mound and there's one down
00:58:40And that one upstairs, ball one
00:58:46Tap foul at the plate
00:58:50One down, Phillies down the run
00:58:53Swings and misses
00:58:55And it's one and two
00:58:57Try to keep good
00:58:58Swings and misses, struck him out
00:59:02Phillies have just one out remaining
00:59:04And Chris, that's a way to neutralize his speed
00:59:07By keeping him off base
00:59:08And the defense breathes a sigh of relief
00:59:11Because he puts pressure on everyone
00:59:13If he can put the ball in play
00:59:15But that's how you do it
00:59:16Keep him off balance
00:59:17Get him out of there
00:59:18And deal with the next guy
00:59:20This one chopped on the ground
00:59:22But foul
00:59:24Two down, nobody on
00:59:27They're down to their final strike
00:59:28A little anxious, a little aggressive
00:59:30Early in the count
00:59:31Too much for me
00:59:32That's a ball
00:59:33That turns out to be a really good take right there
00:59:36But you don't want to end this game
00:59:37With the bat on your shoulder
00:59:39This one driven deep
00:59:41Way back there
00:59:42And it's gone
00:59:43We are tied
00:59:46It's their second home run of the inning
00:59:49This one goes far from over
00:59:51Who knows how this game's gonna play out now
01:00:16For a pitcher, the odds are in your favor
01:00:18If you keep that breaking ball down
01:00:19That time he got punished for it
01:00:21He just did a really good job
01:00:23Of staying within himself
01:00:24And getting the barrel to the baseball
01:00:26So it's all tied up
01:00:28Thanks to the home run
01:00:29Bryson Stott stands in for the Phillies
01:00:32Williams
01:00:32On the run
01:00:34Throw the first
01:00:34But it's not in time
01:00:36Base hit
01:00:37Big knock there to keep the inning alive
01:00:39And an opportunity to put something in the gap
01:00:42And give the Phillies the lead
01:00:53That's out to center field
01:00:55And the inning is over
01:00:59So they push across the two runs they needed
01:01:01In the bottom of the ninth
01:01:02And we'll play on
01:01:04And we're all even at six apiece
01:01:29Back down
01:01:31And on the mound
01:01:32The closer
01:01:32Johan
01:01:34Runner in scoring position
01:01:36No outs
01:01:37Junior Caminero
01:01:38Getting ready to hit
01:01:45And a strike right through there
01:01:48That one in triple digits
01:01:56Tapped at the plate
01:01:57But it's a foul ball
01:02:08Phillies fans want a strikeout
01:02:10Got him swinging for the strikeout
01:02:17Up next for Tampa Bay
01:02:19The designated hitter
01:02:21Jonathan Arunda
01:02:28Falled off foul
01:02:36Pickoff throw
01:02:37And he dies back in safely
01:02:39Yeah Boogie
01:02:40If you're that base runner
01:02:41Second base
01:02:42You want to be quiet out there
01:02:43Not bouncing around
01:02:44Not distracting your teammate
01:02:47The hitter
01:02:47Make sure that he can
01:02:49Clearly focus on that pitcher
01:02:50And that release point
01:02:51This one kicks it away
01:02:52From Real Muto
01:02:54And on the wild pitch
01:02:55He goes down to third
01:02:57Even with a good secondary lead
01:02:59Sometimes it's hard to see
01:03:01Just how far that ball's
01:03:02Gotten away from the catcher
01:03:03And if you can make it
01:03:04To third base
01:03:05Pretty much standing up
01:03:06Well at that time
01:03:07He seemed to have
01:03:08A pretty good read
01:03:09Gets to third safely
01:03:10And now he's just
01:03:11Ninety feet away from scoring
01:03:13Laser to the gap
01:03:14Should score the run
01:03:16And it bangs off the wall
01:03:18Runner from third
01:03:19In to score
01:03:20And they lead it in the tenth
01:03:22To second
01:03:23But way too late
01:03:24Safe there
01:03:25Well there you go
01:03:26The RBI machine
01:03:28Another clutch
01:03:29Run scoring it back
01:03:31Yeah he's been so good
01:03:33In these situations
01:03:34Call it clutch if you want
01:03:36But hit
01:03:45Resume speaks for itself
01:03:50Next to hit
01:03:51Yandy Diaz
01:03:52That one
01:03:53And triple fidgets
01:03:58One out
01:03:59The runner at second
01:04:00And here in extra innings
01:04:07Oh he doesn't get the call
01:04:09One ball one strike
01:04:10It's getting squeezed
01:04:11A little bit here late
01:04:22Swing and a chopper
01:04:23Out to short
01:04:25Gets it to first
01:04:26Two down
01:04:29Now that it
01:04:30Let's get it
01:04:31Number one
01:04:46Call one
01:04:57Fouls went off
01:04:58Out of play
01:04:58Back to our left
01:05:01Runner at second
01:05:02Two down
01:05:03Here in the top half
01:05:04Of the tenth
01:05:09Hard on the ground
01:05:10The first
01:05:11He takes it himself
01:05:12To the bag
01:05:13And that'll do it
01:05:15A run
01:05:16A hit
01:05:16And a man left
01:05:17Last chance
01:05:18To even things up
01:05:19We head to the bottom
01:05:20Of inning number ten
01:05:21It's the Rays seven
01:05:23And the
01:05:26Now pitching for
01:05:27Back here in extras
01:05:28And a new pitcher
01:05:29On the mound
01:05:30In the bottom half
01:05:30Of the inning
01:05:31Garrett Clevenger
01:05:32And I can't
01:05:333-4-5
01:05:35Due up for the home team
01:05:36Kyle Schwarber
01:05:38Stands in for the Phillies
01:05:41Ball one low
01:05:47And another ball
01:05:52Not even close there
01:05:54Ball three
01:05:55I know it's 3-0
01:05:57But I'm letting him swing here
01:05:58If he likes the pitch
01:05:59Why not
01:06:00That one misses
01:06:01So a lead off walk
01:06:02Pretty easy walk right there
01:06:04Last pitch
01:06:05Wasn't even much
01:06:06To think about
01:06:14And that drops in
01:06:16For a strike
01:06:17Well in this situation
01:06:18With runners on
01:06:19You've got to get ahead
01:06:20In the cow
01:06:21That you can dictate
01:06:22The rest of the at bat
01:06:23Nice job right there
01:06:27Swing and a ground ball
01:06:29Base hit into the outfield
01:06:31Coming home
01:06:32Fires to the plate
01:06:33Safe at home
01:06:35And the runner scores
01:06:36From second
01:06:37All square at seven
01:06:39Such great concentration
01:06:42Everybody on their feet
01:06:43Knowing that you can come through
01:06:45With a good swing
01:06:47And there he doesn't try
01:06:48To do too much
01:06:49Eight
01:06:54The next pitch misses
01:06:56Ball one
01:07:00And fouled off
01:07:02The fills
01:07:03With the winning run
01:07:05Standing at second
01:07:06Here in extra innings
01:07:08Ground ball to the right side
01:07:10Down the line
01:07:11And it's fouled
01:07:16Little bit low
01:07:17That's a really good take
01:07:24Swing and a bouncer
01:07:26Williams
01:07:26There's one
01:07:28You're out to first
01:07:29Not in time
01:07:30Great effort there
01:07:32Well an aggressive slide
01:07:34At second base
01:07:34But it was legal
01:07:35I like it
01:07:36Because you're trying
01:07:37To break up the double play
01:07:38And it looked like
01:07:39The slide impacted
01:07:40The throw a little bit
01:07:41Nice job by the
01:07:42Base runner
01:07:56Double steal
01:07:57The squeeze
01:07:58And he gets it down
01:08:00Across is the winning run
01:08:02And the Phillies
01:08:03Win it on a walk-off squeeze
01:08:05Wow
01:08:06Well a gutsy call from the bench
01:08:08You've got to have
01:08:09A lot of confidence
01:08:10In the ability
01:08:11To handle the bat
01:08:12By that guy
01:08:13Standing at the blocks
01:08:14Well he got it done
01:08:15Put the ball on the ground
01:08:16That's all you're looking for
01:08:18In terms of execution
01:08:19Incredible finish
01:08:20To this game
01:08:23And a final
01:08:24Eight to seven
01:08:26The Phillies hang on
01:08:27To win it
