00:00:19From inside Tropicana Field in Tampa Bay,
00:00:23Interleague Baseball on MLB The Show.
00:00:25It's the Miami Marlins taking on the Tampa Bay Rays.
00:00:32First pitch coming your way next.
00:00:39And starting on the mound for the Rays, Shane McClanahan.
00:00:43What do you have on him?
00:00:44Yeah, he battled through seven innings last time out.
00:00:47He pitched well enough to get the win thanks to that offense.
00:00:49He'll look to turn in another quality start in this one.
00:00:52All right, ready to get underway.
00:00:54Heriberto Hernandez digs in now.
00:01:00And that's how this series begins.
00:01:08That clips the corner.
00:01:10McClanahan, multi-time All-Star, 28 years old.
00:01:14The former first-round pick back in 2018.
00:01:18Had a swing and a miss.
00:01:19Beat him with a fastball.
00:01:22Let's take a look at our lineup.
00:01:24And so far this year, this has not been a very good offense.
00:01:29On this day and age, if you can't slug and get on base,
00:01:32that OPS has to be at a certain level.
00:01:34If you're going to produce runs, give your pitchers an opportunity
00:01:37as they're facing tough offenses as well.
00:01:47That's in here.
00:01:49That's strike two.
00:01:55Nope.
00:01:56That's inside.
00:01:58All right.
00:02:04Next pitch is downstairs.
00:02:14Just missed.
00:02:16Recognize that changeup right out of the hand.
00:02:18Just spit on it.
00:02:19Just underway from Tropicana Field.
00:02:26Swing and a ball lifted left field.
00:02:29Takes it in for the out.
00:02:32Just pulled off of it a little bit right there.
00:02:35That front shoulder coming open instead of staying closed.
00:02:38If he does that, he's going to be able to go up the middle the other way
00:02:41with some authority instead of a fly out to left.
00:02:46Chips went to the first pitch.
00:02:48Looked down to third.
00:02:49And he went around.
00:02:50Rule the swing.
00:02:58That one's in there.
00:02:59No balls, two strikes.
00:03:06Keeps the at-bat going with a foul ball.
00:03:09That wasn't an easy pitch to hit.
00:03:11It's much easier to do damage against mistakes.
00:03:14But that's not what that pitch was.
00:03:18Ground ball, left side.
00:03:21Zips it to first.
00:03:23Marlin set down in order.
00:03:25Now it's the Rays' turn.
00:03:27No score.
00:03:28You're dialed in to the show.
00:03:32Back now at the chop for the bottom of the first.
00:03:34And our pitcher in this game, Max Meyer.
00:03:37And Chris, pitching on the road has not been particularly kind to him.
00:03:42Yeah, and you don't want to be too quick to say that he can't pitch on the road.
00:03:46Sometimes, you know, it's just a matter of luck.
00:03:49It's not having a field difference between the bullpen mound to the mound out there on the playing field.
00:03:55Don't know what it is, but I know this.
00:03:57He's got good enough stuff to overcome and get it done on the road as well as at home.
00:04:02So, we'll see what he's able to do in this one.
00:04:04In the air, right field.
00:04:06Hernandez on his way over.
00:04:08One down.
00:04:13And let's take a look at the lineup.
00:04:15And a big factor for them in recent games, Yandy Diaz.
00:04:20Well, he's been a very consistent performer this year.
00:04:23And, man, when you look up and you're in the top five in batting average in the American League,
00:04:27tell you what, that raises your level of confidence to keep it going
00:04:30and try to finish in that picture or maybe at the very top.
00:04:34He's been spraying the balls all over the yard.
00:04:36We're going to keep our eyes on him in this one.
00:04:39Meyer, a guy that really fills up the strike zone, rarely walks people.
00:04:44The downside is the home run ball more likely in play.
00:04:50That one ripped left field.
00:04:53Carrying well.
00:04:54And it is out of here.
00:04:58His ninth homer of the year.
00:05:01The Rays strike first.
00:05:02It's one zip.
00:05:04You can't ask for a better start than hitting a home run in your first at bat
00:05:07to give your team the lead.
00:05:14I wasn't sure he hit that one as hard as he needed to to get it out of here,
00:05:17but it had just enough behind it for the homer.
00:05:20What an attempt at the wall, though.
00:05:22He really gave a terrific effort to try and bring that one back.
00:05:28Jonathan Arunda batting with one down, takes a strike.
00:05:33One out, base is empty, and a run in.
00:05:35You're in game one of this three-game set.
00:05:39There's the strike.
00:05:40Well, pitchers like this usually work down in the zone a lot,
00:05:43but these days, with all the uppercut swings most hitters are taking to elevate the ball,
00:05:48pitchers almost have to be effective up in the zone with hard stuff.
00:05:51So maybe that's one area he can improve in his game to try to combat that long ball.
00:05:57As a hitter, does knowing that this guy's going to be in the zone,
00:06:01does that make you more aggressive?
00:06:02Kind of, but you still have to stay on that back side.
00:06:05You've got to make sure you get pitch recognition and let your hands work.
00:06:09Whoa, back down.
00:06:14Got him.
00:06:15Two gone.
00:06:16Oh, really went aggressive in with that slider.
00:06:19Good two-strike pitch right there.
00:06:21At worst-case scenario, it's weak contact in play.
00:06:24Exactly where he and the catcher wanted it.
00:06:36Did you ever really need a cue to be more aggressive?
00:06:40No, I never did, especially when it comes to messing with you.
00:06:44Wow.
00:06:48And a swing and a miss.
00:06:50There's that slider.
00:06:59Fastball for a strike at 95.
00:07:10And a swing and a miss.
00:07:12Down on strikes.
00:07:13Out number three.
00:07:15The Rays kick off the scoring with a solo ball.
00:07:18It's now 1-0.
00:07:19It's the Citrus Series right here on MLB The Show.
00:07:26On now to the top half of inning number two.
00:07:29And now for the Marlins, Christopher Morrell.
00:07:38This one chopped on the ground, but foul.
00:07:47That pitch in for a strike.
00:07:49And a count is 0-2.
00:07:58On the ground to the left.
00:08:00And it finds its way through for a hit.
00:08:03So a man on base to start the inning.
00:08:06I'd say a mistake pitch in an 0-2 count.
00:08:09Too good of a pitch to hit right there.
00:08:11You have to expand the zone.
00:08:12Keep that leadoff man off first base.
00:08:29And that's off the inside edge.
00:08:32Yeah, the count even wanted one.
00:08:34Chris, he's been one of the most powerful hitters in baseball this year.
00:08:37His home run numbers are good enough to put him top five in the league.
00:08:45Morrell on at first.
00:08:47Nobody out.
00:08:48Foul ball still a 1-2 count.
00:08:59In the air to left center.
00:09:02Simpson should have this one.
00:09:05He makes the grab.
00:09:12That is it.
00:09:13Catcher, Liam Hicks.
00:09:17One out man at first.
00:09:18And here's the catcher, Liam Hicks.
00:09:23Tap foul at the plate.
00:09:33That's a ball.
00:09:34In the dirt.
00:09:35The throw into second.
00:09:36And he's got no chance.
00:09:38He's out.
00:09:39You know, Boog, this is the part of the game that oftentimes is overlooked.
00:09:43This is the grunt work.
00:09:44Great job of the catcher using his body to deaden that pitch.
00:09:48Keeps it close and then throws a strike down to second.
00:09:52Hats off.
00:09:54Check swing called strike.
00:09:56That is strike two.
00:10:05Swing and a high fly ball in the air left field.
00:10:08That's back there.
00:10:09Out of here.
00:10:12So he goes the opposite way with that one.
00:10:15Home run number five on the season.
00:10:17And we're level.
00:10:19It's 1-1.
00:10:21Maybe he's starting to break out of this mini slump.
00:10:24That's the type of swing that makes you think good things are coming his way.
00:10:27A good hitter gets pitch recognition early.
00:10:30He saw exactly where that was going to be.
00:10:32The challenge, not get over anxious and come out of your swing.
00:10:36He stayed on it and got all of it.
00:10:41Ripped to short.
00:10:42Snagged on a bounce.
00:10:44Walls throws to first.
00:10:46That's the inning.
00:10:47Miami draws even on the solo shot.
00:10:50All even at one apiece.
00:10:52It's the Citrus Series right here on MLB The Show.
00:10:58Back here in Tampa Bay.
00:11:01And stepping in for the Rays.
00:11:02Richie Palacios.
00:11:04Richie Palacios.
00:11:13Yeah.
00:11:24Fouled off.
00:11:25He was late.
00:11:37In the air right side of the infield.
00:11:42And a quick out number one.
00:11:45Batting six.
00:11:46Left fielder Chandler Simpson.
00:11:59That one not close.
00:12:01Ball one.
00:12:02He boasts a batting average that ranks top ten in the league at the moment.
00:12:06Singy.
00:12:08Man, 91 on the slider right there.
00:12:11That's a hard one.
00:12:12That's a low-end fastball for some pitchers.
00:12:19He holds it in.
00:12:20Two away.
00:12:22It's never fun going back to the dugout after hitting a line drive that finds a glove.
00:12:25But you will get some high fives.
00:12:27You know, when you make great contact, you feel like you've done everything right.
00:12:31But in this game of baseball, not everything is in your control.
00:12:35Now the catcher up to him.
00:12:37Nick Fortes.
00:12:41Fortes launched a homer in his most recent game.
00:12:48Yeah, Boog.
00:12:49And his confidence isn't an issue when he steps in the box.
00:12:52He expects to do some damage every time he's up.
00:12:57On the ground to third.
00:12:59And that one finds its way through.
00:13:01And that extends the inning for Cedric Mullins.
00:13:05Really nice job of two-strike hitting and mad at bat.
00:13:08You got that front foot down.
00:13:10And pitch recognition was on point.
00:13:12Pretty impressive for an 0-2 count.
00:13:25What he's looking for there in the 0-0 count.
00:13:28Looks like he wants the ball down in the zone.
00:13:30Fortes leads off first with two down to the inning.
00:13:37Swing and a miss.
00:13:38Nice change-up.
00:13:39Man, he really sells the change-up with that arm action.
00:13:48And there's a rocket into the outfield.
00:13:51Lead runner around second.
00:13:55And now they'll have runners on the corners with two away.
00:13:58He was all over that one.
00:14:01Pretty much a model swing on that one as he ripped it into the opposite field gap.
00:14:04And I'm sure he's going to be watching that one back on video because that's the kind of swing you
00:14:09want to bottle.
00:14:10So many positives that led to that knock.
00:14:13Taylor Walls next to hit for the Rays.
00:14:17Right through there for a strike.
00:14:29Hard hit into the gap.
00:14:30One run will score.
00:14:35Mullen's headed home.
00:14:37The second run scores.
00:14:39It's a two-run double.
00:14:41And they lead by two.
00:14:43Well, he had the opportunity to drive in some runs.
00:14:45And he comes through to break the tie.
00:14:47Got a fastball.
00:14:48Middle of the plate.
00:14:49Jumped all over it.
00:14:50Absolutely smoked that ball.
00:15:04Ball one.
00:15:08Rutter at second.
00:15:09Two down.
00:15:10Bottom half of inning number two.
00:15:16And he grounds one to the right side.
00:15:19He takes it himself to the bag.
00:15:21And that'll do it.
00:15:23But they'll pick up a couple runs here.
00:15:25Both coming on this two-run double.
00:15:28It's now a 3-1 ball game.
00:15:34Back here at the ballpark.
00:15:36Coming off a tough series offensively.
00:15:39And a look at those numbers.
00:15:49It's a good changeup to hit up in the zone.
00:15:51I don't think he recognized it.
00:15:53I'm sure he'd love to have that one back.
00:15:59Yep, that ball went out.
00:16:06And that misses.
00:16:08At a count, two and one.
00:16:18Knee high.
00:16:19That's in for a strike.
00:16:25And it's filled up.
00:16:27Really good take.
00:16:28Especially with two strikes.
00:16:37Chopped to the left side.
00:16:40The throw to first.
00:16:42Lead off man retired here in the third.
00:16:44Setting ninth.
00:16:45Third baseman, Jared Cerna.
00:16:58And ball one.
00:17:00And ball one.
00:17:08On the ground.
00:17:09That ball's found.
00:17:10And foul ball.
00:17:17Comes up empty.
00:17:18That's strike two.
00:17:25And that skips in the dirt.
00:17:27Well, he might have to look for a different put-away pitch right here, too, too.
00:17:30He's already seen the curveball a couple of times in this at-bat.
00:17:33So, might have it timed up and ready for it.
00:17:41This one in the air right field.
00:17:43And it stays fair.
00:17:52Now, it's the right fielder, Heriberto Hernandez.
00:17:57Ball.
00:18:02Man, at first, one away.
00:18:05And he hits a ground ball right side.
00:18:08And it goes just foul.
00:18:10His home run numbers stand out, Chris.
00:18:13Nobody has hit more in his team.
00:18:15Ground ball right side.
00:18:16And that's just foul.
00:18:22Got him swinging.
00:18:23Two down.
00:18:29Up next, for the Marlins, second baseman, Xavier Edwards.
00:18:34Ball one.
00:18:40This guy's got a great feel for his breaking ball today.
00:18:45I chop it a third.
00:18:49And that will end the inning.
00:18:53Marlins leave one.
00:18:54Score holds.
00:18:55It's 3-1.
00:18:59Back here in Tropicana Field.
00:19:01To the plate now for the Rays is the DH.
00:19:04Yandy Diaz.
00:19:05Yandy Diaz.
00:19:08And he's currently the team leader in batting average, Chris.
00:19:18High fly ball lifted in the year right field.
00:19:23Hernandez towards the line, looking up, makes a one-handed catch.
00:19:28Up next, for the Rays, first baseman, Jonathan Aranda.
00:19:40That one finds the zone.
00:19:42And that's strike one.
00:19:51Hammer down the right side, but foul.
00:19:59And the 0-2.
00:20:02Comes up empty as he chases that one into dirt.
00:20:05Throw to first.
00:20:06Gets the out.
00:20:07Two down after the strikeout.
00:20:09That slider was way out of the zone.
00:20:11And for me, it just comes down to not seeing the pitch out of the hand,
00:20:15not tracking it into the zone.
00:20:16And then also being a little bit anxious, not confident in your two-strike approach.
00:20:21And so when a guy's in that position, you get him to commit early.
00:20:24And a lot of times you get the swing and miss, as you did right there.
00:20:27Caminero in the box here lets that one go for a ball.
00:20:35And it finds its way through for a hit.
00:20:38And that keeps the inning alive.
00:20:42But a swing like that can help you come out of the struggle.
00:20:45We saw the numbers coming into the ball game.
00:20:47But all he's trying to do at this point is help his team win.
00:21:04Taps softly on the ground.
00:21:08Whips it to first.
00:21:10And that is the inning.
00:21:12The Rays strand just the one, but they still lead it 3-1.
00:21:20Back now in Tampa Bay, and now for the Marlins, Jacob Marcy.
00:21:25Jacob Marcy.
00:21:30Marcy measures 6 feet even, 180 pounds.
00:21:35And he was a sixth-round draft pick in 2022.
00:21:38This one in the air center field.
00:21:41Mullins under it.
00:21:43And there's one down.
00:21:48Up next for the Marlins, left fielder, Christopher Borrell.
00:21:59Ripped on the ground, a second.
00:22:02Lux throws to first in time.
00:22:05Two quick outs here in the top of the four.
00:22:07For the Marlins, the designated hitter, Connor Norby.
00:22:11And here is Connor Norby.
00:22:14Fly to left his first time.
00:22:18Ball, that's outside.
00:22:28Generally, second, third time through the lineup,
00:22:30you want to be able to lean on those secondary pitches and command them.
00:22:34Looks like he's doing a nice job of it.
00:22:37Ball, that's outside.
00:22:41Two down, nobody on.
00:22:42Top half of inning number four.
00:22:47Next one misses.
00:22:49And the count is three and a one.
00:22:50Oh, they have had a hard time scoring in this one.
00:22:53The pitcher out there on the mound wants to keep attacking.
00:22:55Make sure that they don't get any confidence.
00:22:58And now a full count.
00:23:07Grounds one to short.
00:23:09Walls.
00:23:10Over to first.
00:23:12And that'll do it.
00:23:14And the Marlins down quietly.
00:23:16And they still trail it here.
00:23:18Three to one.
00:23:22Back here at the ballpark.
00:23:23Let's check out the latest news from around the league.
00:23:26Left fielder, Chandler Simpson.
00:23:37Nasty backdoor slider.
00:23:39There's really nothing you can do with that if you swing at it.
00:23:41So that's a good take by him.
00:23:49Left fielder, Chandler, and the running catch.
00:23:55One up, one down.
00:23:57Next, for the Rays, catcher, Nick Cortez.
00:24:10Pitch misses.
00:24:12And that is ball one.
00:24:14Challenge from behind the dish here.
00:24:17It just shaved the zone.
00:24:19They'll keep their remaining challenge.
00:24:29Oh, he doesn't get the call.
00:24:31And now it's even one and one.
00:24:33Well, I think he's trying to get a feel for where that one missed.
00:24:37I mean, it could have gone either way.
00:24:38But he looked a little shocked for a second there.
00:24:41In the air, out to center.
00:24:44Slater sprinting.
00:24:45Snags it on the run.
00:24:47Two down.
00:24:48That's a tough play for the infielder, ranging back into the outfield.
00:24:51There's part of him that's saying, hey, where are you at, outfielder?
00:24:53Call me on.
00:24:54But he stayed focused and made a nice catch right there.
00:24:59Cedric Mullins next to hit for the Rays.
00:25:05Edge of the zone for a strike.
00:25:07And it's all in one.
00:25:16Nope.
00:25:25High fly ball, right field.
00:25:28Hernandez under it.
00:25:31And the inning is over.
00:25:35Three up, three down that time.
00:25:37We've played four, Rays three, and the Marlins one.
00:25:41It's the Citrus series right here on MLB The Show.
00:25:46Back here in Tampa Bay, now it's the Marlins catcher, Liam Hicks.
00:25:56And a foul ball.
00:25:58You know, these Marlins just lacking discipline at the plate in this ballgame.
00:26:02They've been chasing pitches outside the zone all game, and it's led to some frustrating moments.
00:26:07They've been fooled quite a bit today.
00:26:33They've been fooled quite a bit today.
00:26:37Oh, my God.
00:26:42Oh, my God.
00:26:5280.
00:27:00to the right side
00:27:01Lux
00:27:04throwing the dirt
00:27:05and he can't come up with it
00:27:07on that play
00:27:08it looked like he had
00:27:08plenty of time
00:27:09just bounced that throw
00:27:11and it resulted in the error
00:27:15one down
00:27:16here's Austin Slater
00:27:18he's 0 for 1
00:27:21that's a ball
00:27:35here's a 1-1
00:27:37swing and a miss
00:27:38there's the changeup
00:27:46ground ball left side
00:27:48could be 2
00:27:49oh can't pick it up cleanly
00:27:51and he's gonna make it to first
00:27:52and we'll see how they score it
00:27:56I think he just rushed out
00:27:57one great chance to turn 2
00:27:59and has an infielder on a play like that
00:28:01I think guys can get a little excited
00:28:03and forget to make the play
00:28:05one step at a time
00:28:06could have been two outs
00:28:07instead they get none
00:28:10he's looking for a ground ball
00:28:12to get a double play
00:28:13and out of this jam
00:28:19got it started a little too early
00:28:21strike one
00:28:22sold it really well
00:28:23with the arm speed
00:28:25swung underneath it
00:28:26so changeup that stayed
00:28:28a little bit more on playing
00:28:29than what he was anticipating
00:28:31two on one out
00:28:33hit in the air
00:28:34center field
00:28:35Lux
00:28:36moving under this one
00:28:37he's got it
00:28:38two down
00:28:39that's a really nice play
00:28:41ranging back into the outfield
00:28:43for that catch
00:28:43we all know
00:28:44those can be a little tricky
00:28:45especially if the wind's rolling
00:28:47around out there
00:28:51at the play
00:28:53Heriberto Hernandez
00:28:56that's a ball
00:29:05struggle a little bit
00:29:06in this one
00:29:07couple of strikeouts earlier
00:29:09but doing a much better job
00:29:10at this at bat
00:29:11to get ahead
00:29:11and find a good hitter's count
00:29:13at 2-0
00:29:14right through there
00:29:15for a strike
00:29:17in today's game
00:29:18not that many fastball counts
00:29:20but hitters still
00:29:21in the back of their minds
00:29:22they're looking for one
00:29:232-0 changeup call right there
00:29:25excellent pitch selection
00:29:26to go with
00:29:28to first
00:29:29and he beats it
00:29:30everyone's safe
00:29:32up next
00:29:32well this has been anything
00:29:33but a clean game
00:29:34for this team defensively
00:29:36it's their third error
00:29:37but somehow
00:29:38they still have the lead
00:29:39even if they do get the W
00:29:41in this one
00:29:41I'm sure there's going to be
00:29:42some early work tomorrow
00:29:44trying to clean things up
00:29:45a little bit
00:29:45and a ground ball

00:32:16you still have to
00:32:17extend through the
00:32:17baseball
00:32:18in order to hit
00:32:18a line drive
00:32:19like that

00:32:42well he's been
00:32:43a really tough
00:32:44guy to take
00:32:45deep this season
00:32:46you usually have
00:32:47to string some
00:32:47hits together
00:32:48in order to
00:32:48get to him
00:33:02that's in for a
00:33:03strike
00:33:29hard hit into the gap
00:33:30one run
00:33:31will score

00:33:44just in time
00:33:45comes through
00:33:46with the RBI
00:33:47kind of a risky pitch
00:33:48coming inside
00:33:49with the breaking
00:33:50ball like that
00:33:51you have to bury it
00:33:52otherwise
00:33:53it's not too difficult
00:33:54to get the bat to it
00:33:55like he did that time
00:33:56calling for the
00:33:57intentional walk
00:33:59and that loads up
00:34:00the bases
00:34:00and the force play
00:34:02is now in order
00:34:05so they're all loaded

00:34:29ball comes home
00:34:30and he's dead
00:34:31at the plate
00:34:32that's really
00:34:33frustrating right there
00:34:34should have had
00:34:34plenty of time
00:34:35to move up safely
00:34:36with the ball
00:34:36getting away
00:34:37but they still

00:34:45that's a strike
00:34:46and he inches

00:36:28this to center field
00:36:32makes the grab
00:36:33on the run
00:36:33and there's one down
00:36:35nothing instills
00:36:36more confidence
00:36:37in a team
00:36:37than a center fielder
00:36:38who makes a great play
00:36:39like that
00:36:40on the run
00:36:41they can feed
00:36:42off the energy
00:36:42he brings
00:36:43just from his
00:36:43playmaking abilities
00:36:49and that drops
00:36:50in for a strike
00:37:13hit on the ground
00:37:14off the middle
00:37:15that's a base hit
00:37:17and they have their first hit
00:37:19since the third inning
00:37:20up next
00:37:22for the Marlins

00:37:25Connor Norby
00:37:30ground ball
00:37:31left side
00:37:32and it goes

00:37:43but kept close
00:37:44throws to second
00:37:45save
00:37:46he beats it
00:37:49well that right there
00:37:50erases the chance
00:37:51at the inning
00:37:52ending double play
00:37:53so good job
00:37:54on the bases
00:37:54to move up
00:37:55on the wild pitch
00:37:56changes the outlook
00:37:57of the inning
00:37:57in a pretty big way
00:38:01man at second
00:38:03and there's a foul ball
00:38:12hard grounder
00:38:13into the outfield
00:38:14for a knock
00:38:15headed for the plate
00:38:17and they cut the lead
00:38:19to two
00:38:19and he'll reach second
00:38:21with one away
00:38:24well done
00:38:25narrows the deficit
00:38:26with the RBI there
00:38:27loud contact
00:38:28leads to the double
00:38:29I mean you could tell
00:38:31it had extra bases
00:38:31written all over it
00:38:32as it jumped off
00:38:33with his stick
00:38:41in the dirt
00:38:51that one finds the zone
00:38:53and the count
00:38:53one and one
00:38:57that clears the corner
00:39:08and out of strikes
00:39:09that's out number two

00:39:13that called strike
00:39:14here's the challenge
00:39:15and that one
00:39:16was indeed a strike
00:39:18so that removes
00:39:19their last challenge
00:39:20Griffin Conant

00:40:02hitter coming up to hit
00:40:03classic bullpen move

00:40:07and leading off
00:40:08for the Rays
00:40:09left fielder
00:40:10Chandler Simpson
00:40:16well these Rays

00:40:22of loud noise
00:40:23coming from their bats
00:40:24in this one
00:40:24haven't we
00:40:25I mean they've
00:40:26logged six hits
00:40:27at 90 plus exit
00:40:28velocity
00:40:29and that doesn't
00:40:30happen by accident
00:40:46that one ripped
00:40:47and that's a base hit
00:40:49so we're running
00:40:50on board
00:40:51to start the inning
00:40:55up next
00:40:56for the Rays
00:40:58catcher
00:40:58Nick

00:42:04got him looking
00:42:06and one away
00:42:07I don't know about you Chris
00:42:08but that felt like a weird
00:42:09at bat right there
00:42:10didn't give much to hit
00:42:12until the final pitch
00:42:13and he still got
00:42:13the backwards K
00:42:14yeah not a single pitch
00:42:16was actually inside
00:42:17the strike zone
00:42:17but he was being
00:42:18very aggressive
00:42:19in the box
00:42:19and fell behind
00:42:20in the count
00:42:20then they finally
00:42:21do challenge him
00:42:22and he couldn't get
00:42:23the bat off his shoulder
00:42:24kind of a strange
00:42:25strikeout for sure
00:42:26Boog
00:42:26next to hit
00:42:27Cedric Mullins
00:42:28in the air
00:42:29left field
00:42:30Morrell

00:42:40shortstop
00:42:40Taylor
00:42:45Walls
00:42:52if he's gonna steal
00:42:53second
00:42:54you want him to go
00:42:55early in the count
00:42:55that way he's not a
00:42:56distraction to the hitter
00:42:57at the plate
00:42:58go ahead and get it
00:42:59out of the way
00:42:59so the hitter can focus
00:43:01on the pitch
00:43:05right through there
00:43:05for a strike
00:43:06and a bat like this
00:43:07is almost over
00:43:09as it begins
00:43:10in this situation
00:43:11you have no idea
00:43:12what the next pitch
00:43:13is gonna be
00:43:13you just gotta hope
00:43:14that you can make contact
00:43:15checks over to first

00:43:49the strike zone
00:43:50makes hitters
00:43:51earn their way
00:43:51on base
00:43:52and rarely gets
00:43:53in trouble
00:43:53because of free passes
00:43:56the shortstop
00:43:57takes the ball
00:43:58definitely a swing
00:43:59and miss slider
00:44:00down and in
00:44:01he finished that
00:44:02really well
00:44:02just couldn't get him
00:44:04to offer at it
00:44:05this one smoked
00:44:07on its way
00:44:08out of here
00:44:14and they cut
00:44:15into the deficit
00:44:17that one just
00:44:18sounded different
00:44:19and might have been
00:44:20the loudest moment
00:44:21yet
00:44:21man my ears
00:44:22are ringing
00:44:22I can feel
00:44:23that swing
00:44:23from the booth
00:44:45anytime you have a pitch
00:44:46down the middle
00:44:47of the plate
00:44:48the percentages go up
00:44:49for the hitter to do damage
00:44:51even if it's a pretty good sinker like that one
00:44:53nice piece of hitting there at the plate
00:45:03close one doesn't get the call
00:45:05and that's ball one
00:45:12that one catches the corner
00:45:14it's a tough pitch
00:45:15but in terms of
00:45:17the best pitch
00:45:18you're going to get to hit
00:45:19in the at bat
00:45:19that fastball
00:45:21was down enough
00:45:22where
00:45:23you're going to catch up to one
00:45:24that's the one
00:45:25when he elevates
00:45:26guys aren't touching
00:45:27looking to get the tying run
00:45:30on base
00:45:30in the air
00:45:32right field
00:45:35and there's one away
00:45:40up next
00:45:41for the Marlins
00:45:42right fielder
00:45:43Heriberto Hernandez
00:45:45the next up
00:45:47for the Marlins
00:45:470 for 3
00:45:49in this one
00:46:11and that just misses
00:46:20that ball too
00:46:28fights it off
00:46:29you'll see another
00:46:39and a foul ball
00:46:40he stays alive
00:46:49that's ripped
00:46:50base hit
00:46:51and that puts
00:46:52the tying run
00:46:53on base
00:46:54fastball pretty much
00:46:55middle middle
00:46:56and that's what you
00:46:57fall asleep dreaming about
00:46:58as a hitter
00:46:58so no surprise
00:46:59he put a great swing on it
00:47:01and now let's see
00:47:01if they force some action
00:47:02with good wheels
00:47:03on the bases
00:47:08that finds the mark
00:47:10on the inside
00:47:10corner
00:47:11if you're a base runner
00:47:12you've got to stay
00:47:13dialed in here
00:47:14look for anything
00:47:15in the dirt
00:47:15try your best
00:47:16to get in the scoring
00:47:17position
00:47:17and that's it
00:47:19for a strike
00:47:19pull a two down
00:47:21so now it's all about
00:47:22protect mode
00:47:22try to shorten up
00:47:24try to track the ball
00:47:25block it if you have to
00:47:27as far as just a late
00:47:28swing that maybe
00:47:28you're not sure about
00:47:29but some way
00:47:31somehow

00:47:58in these situations
00:47:59call it clutch
00:48:00if you want
00:48:01but his resume
00:48:02speaks for itself
00:48:03here's the center fielder
00:48:05Jacob Marcy
00:48:06now a snap
00:48:07throw down to third
00:48:15go ahead run

00:48:50well there's a lot
00:48:51riding on that at bat
00:48:52right there
00:48:52nice job of the pitcher
00:48:53to bear down
00:48:54make the pitch

00:49:57in first base
00:49:58with a quick free pass
00:50:01and next is the designated hitter
00:50:03Connor Norby
00:50:05RBI knock for him last time
00:50:07now a chance to drive in another run
00:50:16fouls away the first offering
00:50:24that's a strike
00:50:25and he inches closer
00:50:26to getting out of the jam
00:50:32that one just misses
00:50:33ball one
00:50:34that's a really good take

00:51:01seventh inning stretch time
00:51:03and we are tied
00:51:04four four
00:51:07back now in Tampa Bay
00:51:09bottom of the seventh
00:51:10really important time
00:51:11for a shutdown inning
00:51:13this thing they want to do
00:51:19is give up the runs
00:51:20they just scored
00:51:21man that'll steal
00:51:22the momentum
00:51:22they're hoping to make
00:51:23quick work of this
00:51:24half inning
00:51:24outside
00:51:26and that's ball one
00:51:27signs of activity
00:51:28in the pen
00:51:29for the Marlins
00:51:29Anthony Bender
00:51:31getting ready to go
00:51:32Nardi
00:51:33a left-hander
00:51:34also throwing
00:51:36the lefty
00:51:37the one
00:51:37foul ball there
00:51:52a swing
00:51:53and a miss
00:51:53as he chases
00:51:54way out of the zone
00:52:00ball two

00:52:10ball three
00:52:17and a swing
00:52:19and a miss
00:52:19and one out
00:52:21well executed pitch
00:52:22on the outside
00:52:23part of the player
00:52:25Yandy Diaz
00:52:30so now here's the DH
00:52:32Yandy Diaz
00:52:38swing and a ground ball
00:52:39out to short
00:52:42throws the first
00:52:43in time
00:52:43well he certainly
00:52:44didn't look comfortable
00:52:45or fluid on that play
00:52:47and later in this ball game
00:52:48this could come back
00:52:49to bite him
00:52:50if a ball is hit to him
00:52:51and he's playing
00:52:51that same position
00:52:54manager out of the dugout now
00:52:56and it looks like
00:52:57we'll see a change
00:52:58on the mound
00:52:58Kate Gibson
00:52:59won't go any further
00:53:01tonight
00:53:01and it's a tie ball game
00:53:03as he heads
00:53:03for the dugout
00:53:04back with a new arm
00:53:05after a quick break
00:53:08now pitching for
00:53:10Andrew Nardi
00:53:11on to pitch here
00:53:12Andrew Nardi
00:53:30hey
00:53:34two down nobody on
00:53:36here at the bottom
00:53:36of the seven
00:53:43swing and a ball
00:53:44popped up
00:53:45Serna
00:53:45gets under it
00:53:47and that's the inning
00:53:50Rays held in check
00:53:51here
00:53:51score remains tied
00:53:53at four
00:53:59now pitching for
00:54:00the new pitcher now
00:54:01Mason Engler
00:54:02and compared to a lot
00:54:04of other relievers
00:54:05strikeouts have not
00:54:06been a big weapon
00:54:07for him this year
00:54:07so the defense
00:54:08should be active
00:54:09here's the catcher
00:54:11Liam Hicks
00:54:15slapped the other way
00:54:16foul
00:54:22tied at four
00:54:24late that time
00:54:26it's strike two
00:54:33hit hard on the ground
00:54:35to the right side
00:54:36that one sizzling on
00:54:37its way through to the
00:54:38outfield
00:54:39and the go ahead
00:54:40run is on base
00:54:42always feels amazing
00:54:43getting a job done
00:54:44when the team needs
00:54:45you to come through
00:54:46it's just bigger than
00:54:47your own individual
00:54:48stats
00:54:48got the top of the
00:54:49ball a little bit
00:54:50but not much
00:54:51that was hit pretty
00:54:52hard through the
00:54:52infield
00:54:53so I think he'll be
00:54:54happy with that swing
00:54:55definitely generated
00:54:56some good bat speed
00:54:58swing and a miss
00:54:594-1
00:55:07swing and a drive
00:55:08deep right field
00:55:11pops over the wall
00:55:13and that's an automatic
00:55:14double
00:55:14they're cooking with
00:55:15gas move
00:55:16two runners in scoring
00:55:17position with no outs
00:55:18and a great chance
00:55:20to keep doing damage
00:55:21with swings like the one
00:55:22we just saw for the
00:55:23automatic double
00:55:24looking to keep it
00:55:25going
00:55:26pass me that popcorn
00:55:35deal one
00:55:38swing and a ball
00:55:39popped in the air
00:55:40base hit
00:55:41one run in already
00:55:44now the second run
00:55:45is in
00:55:46it's a two run
00:55:47single
00:55:48and they lead by two
00:55:50up next
00:55:51for the Marlins
00:55:52third baseman
00:55:53Jared Cerna
00:56:00no outs
00:56:01runner at first
00:56:02now the third baseman
00:56:04Jared Cerna
00:56:05that's a ball
00:56:14that one found hard
00:56:15the other way
00:56:24breaking ball
00:56:25and that got him
00:56:25up next
00:56:28for the Marlins
00:56:29right there
00:56:37for a strike
00:56:47check swing
00:56:48and he went
00:56:48and it's not a good
00:56:50two
00:56:51back and forth
00:56:52we go
00:56:53a seesaw battle
00:56:54in the late stages
00:56:56of this one
00:56:56calls it in
00:56:58one away
00:56:59that at bat
00:57:00is a positive sign
00:57:01even though it probably
00:57:02doesn't feel like it
00:57:03he hit the ball hard
00:57:04but it doesn't always
00:57:05work out in your favor
00:57:06sometimes a defender
00:57:07is there to make a play
00:57:09Xavier Edwards
00:57:10gets a chance
00:57:11to hit here
00:57:13now this is a critical
00:57:14spot for both
00:57:15the pitcher
00:57:16and the hitter
00:57:17you can learn a lot
00:57:18about a guy
00:57:18by how he handles
00:57:20these pressure situations
00:57:28the fish
00:57:29trying to break
00:57:30this one open
00:57:31and we're in the top
00:57:32of the eighth
00:57:35the 1-1 is fouled off
00:57:421-2 now
00:57:45struck it out looking
00:58:00line shot into the gap
00:58:02should score at least
00:58:03one
00:58:03coming home
00:58:05one run is in
00:58:07rounds third
00:58:07headed for the plate
00:58:09he'll score
00:58:10two runs are in
00:58:12and they're up by four
00:58:13picks himself up
00:58:14a couple of ribbies
00:58:15so much of good hitting
00:58:17is finding holes
00:58:18in the defense
00:58:18that's why you're
00:58:19always thinking
00:58:20line drive into the gap
00:58:21those kinds of swings
00:58:22really boost your confidence
00:58:32here's the left fielder
00:58:33Christopher Morrell
00:58:36in the first pitch
00:58:37misses for ball one
00:58:47hey
00:58:48runner at second
00:58:50two down
00:58:58hard on the ground
00:58:59the first
00:59:01Arunda
00:59:01takes it himself
00:59:02that'll end the inning
00:59:03after a lot of scoring
00:59:05so four runs
00:59:06on four hits
00:59:07no errors
00:59:08and a runner left on
00:59:09last half of the eighth
00:59:10coming up
00:59:11it's the Marlins
00:59:12eight
00:59:12the Rays
00:59:14back here
00:59:15in Tampa Bay
00:59:16and stepping in
00:59:17for the Rays
00:59:18Junior Caminero
00:59:19Junior Caminero
00:59:26close but called a ball
00:59:28ball one
00:59:29action in the pen
00:59:30down there
00:59:31Ryan Gusto
00:59:32the young right-hander
00:59:33up and throwing
00:59:34Focker
00:59:35also throwing
00:59:40swung on
00:59:41popped up
00:59:42on the infield
00:59:43Conine
00:59:44and there's one down
00:59:46that was a good
00:59:47hard fastball
00:59:48with some nice
00:59:49ride up in the zone
00:59:50right there
00:59:51hitter
00:59:51looked like he was
00:59:52on it
00:59:53but I think that
00:59:53velocity at the end
00:59:54just beat him
00:59:55instead of a line drive
00:59:57or something hit deep
00:59:58it's a pop-up
00:59:59and an easy out
01:00:00for the defense
01:00:06lifted in the air
01:00:07down the left side
01:00:08that gets down
01:00:09for a hit
01:00:10and that's a
01:00:11one-out single
01:00:14didn't exactly
01:00:15square that one up
01:00:16but sometimes
01:00:17you don't have to
01:00:18kind of your classic
01:00:19jam shot blooper
01:00:20right there
01:00:21paid a good pitch
01:00:22on the inside
01:00:23gotten to hit it
01:00:24off the handle
01:00:24but he still
01:00:25muscled it out there
01:00:26you just have to
01:00:27tip your cap
01:00:28on the mound
01:00:28Simpson
01:00:29stands in now
01:00:30and watches
01:00:31strike one
01:00:38that one to first
01:00:40they get the force
01:00:41as they pass up
01:00:43the chance
01:00:43of the double play
01:00:44they weren't
01:00:45overzealous there
01:00:47just take the shirt
01:00:47out
01:00:47keep the run
01:00:48out of scoring
01:00:48position
01:00:5890
01:01:13deal one
01:01:15right through there
01:01:16for a strike
01:01:17well I didn't like
01:01:18those first two pitches
01:01:19now in an 0-2 hole
01:01:20he's going to have to
01:01:20battle
01:01:21hope he gets a mistake
01:01:26this one in the air
01:01:30and makes the grab
01:01:32and that ends the inning
01:01:33the Rays strand
