00:00:18I'm telling you the truth when I step into the booth, it's five, five.
00:00:21From inside Tropicana Field in Tampa Bay, Interleague Baseball on MLB The Show.
00:00:27It's the Miami Marlins taking on the Tampa Bay Rays.
00:00:33First pitch coming your way next.
00:00:40And on the mound for Tampa Bay in this one, Drew Rasmussen.
00:00:45He leads the entire league in wins and every time he grabs the ball, you expect results.
00:00:50Yeah, he's coming right after hitters, Boo.
00:00:52Setting the tone from the jump and giving his team a real chance to stack up some Ws.
00:00:57He's not just a pitcher.
00:00:59He's a gamer.
00:01:00Shows up every fifth day ready to compete.
00:01:02That's why every rotation wants a guy like him.
00:01:04Just flat out reliable.
00:01:06Just like you, Parker.
00:01:07Bunch attempt, but that goes foul.
00:01:120-2 now.
00:01:15Hauls it in for the out.
00:01:19And time now for the Marlins lineup.
00:01:21With an excellent arm on the mound, Zingy, this won't be easy.
00:01:25They'll need to take advantage of the opportunities that they do have.
00:01:29You're right about that, Boog.
00:01:30Odds are they won't have many chances against this guy, but if they can rattle him out of
00:01:34the gates, they'll have a shot.
00:01:35If not, look out.
00:01:37It might be a long day for this offense.
00:01:39Kyle Stowers stands in here, takes ball one low.
00:01:43This guy's got such a good sinker as a hitter, you've got to look up in the zone.
00:01:47If you look down, you're going to be chasing stuff in the dirt.
00:01:51Tap to first.
00:01:54Diaz handles, throws to first.
00:01:57Quick start to this afternoon's action.
00:01:59Two gone.
00:01:59Shortstop, Otto Lopez.
00:02:18Liner, caught in second.
00:02:22Now it's the Rays' turn.
00:02:23No score.
00:02:24This is Rays baseball on the show, Florida.
00:02:31Back here at Tropicana Field, and today's starting pitcher, Sandy Alcantara.
00:02:37How about a scouting report on him?
00:02:39Well, last time out, picked up the win.
00:02:41Didn't allow a run.
00:02:42Pitched extremely well.
00:02:44He doesn't have to be perfect, but if he can give another performance like last time
00:02:47out, his team will be happy.
00:02:49Leading off, Gavin Lux.
00:03:08Swing and a miss.
00:03:09There's that changeup.
00:03:16Just off the outside edge.
00:03:18Ball one.
00:03:19That's one you always want as a pitcher, down at the knees, and it looks to me like he's
00:03:23barking.
00:03:23That's a strike.
00:03:25Doesn't change the call, but sometimes it helps to let that frustration out a little
00:03:28bit.
00:03:29Chases the changeup in the dirt, in time to get him, one away in the strikeout.
00:03:39Now a look at Kevin Cash's lineup for the Tampa Bay Rays.
00:03:42A guy who's been huge for them over the last month-plus, Junior Caminero.
00:03:47And he's leading them in runs batted in this season, which tells me this guy is able to
00:03:52slow things down when it seems like there's a little bit of pressure, and he's looking
00:03:55at it as an opportunity to do damage.
00:03:57You know, a lot of guys, they see runners on base, and they get big, they feel like all
00:04:01this pressure, I've got to get these runs in, but somehow he seems to settle into these
00:04:06situations.
00:04:06So watch out when he comes to the plate.
00:04:09The 1-0.
00:04:22Now he breaks his bat.
00:04:25The underhand flip, nicely done for the out.
00:04:29Got to feel pretty good for the pitcher, absolutely sawed him off, bat explodes, and then he makes
00:04:34an easy play on it.
00:04:36Pretty satisfying if you're out there on the ball.
00:04:38.
00:04:42Two down, base is empty.
00:04:44Jonathan Arunda, next to hit for the raise.
00:04:47.
00:04:49Oh, he gloves it to first.
00:04:51And that's a great play for the out.
00:04:55making it look easy at the keystone position definitely worth another look
00:04:59he'll get some high fives when he gets into the dugout
00:05:07top of the second and now for the marlins christopher morrell christopher morrell
00:05:14rasmussen making his 10th start of the year and he was selected for the all-star game last year
00:05:22at 96 that pitch is in for a strike
00:05:32fouled off and they'll do it again
00:05:42here's the 0-2 broken bat and it's popped up palacios in plenty of time to first
00:05:49and quickly won away in the second batting fifth third baseman connor norby
00:06:10this one belted deep left field on its way gone
00:06:20his fourth home run of the season the marlins on the board first it's one zip that's a fun way
00:06:27to
00:06:27take the lead just hit one out of the park
00:06:34looks like this guy was looking out over the plate but he was ready to turn on the inside fastball
00:06:40so direct to the pitch absolutely blasted out of this ballpark
00:06:49now it's the marlins catcher liam hicks
00:06:54that one's in there strike one
00:07:00one out base is empty and a run in here in the third and final game of the series
00:07:12keeps the effect going with a foul ball
00:07:22on the ground fair ball
00:07:27back-to-back hits
00:07:28and they were hit hard
00:07:32well a swing like that can help you come out of this struggle
00:07:35we saw the numbers coming into the ball game
00:07:37but all he's trying to do at this point is help his team win
00:07:42jack swing did he go yes he did
00:07:44that's strike one
00:07:54on the ground to the left
00:07:55and that's a fair ball
00:07:57lead runner around second
00:08:01coming home
00:08:03and they lead by two
00:08:07picks himself up in rbi
00:08:09smash that one through the infield for the knock
00:08:11when it's hit that hard
00:08:13it makes it very tough on the infielders to make any sort of play
00:08:19one out
00:08:19runner at second
00:08:21austin slater stands in
00:08:24here's a high chopper
00:08:25base hit into center field
00:08:28headed for the plate
00:08:29he'll score easily
00:08:30it's an rbi single
00:08:33and they take a three run lead
00:08:35comes through with the rbi
00:08:37really nice job staying up the middle with his approach
00:08:40he didn't try to do too much with the pitch
00:08:41just shot it through the infield
00:08:48that one misses
00:08:50and it's 1-0
00:08:56yes
00:09:12back to the top of the miami word
00:09:14xavier edwards gets a chance to hit here
00:09:16he's 0-4-1
00:09:24already three runs across in the frame
00:09:27here in the rubber match of this three game series
00:09:34swing and a ball lifted left field
00:09:37and that is that
00:09:41so they get three runs on four hits
00:09:43one was the solo homer
00:09:45now to the bottom of the second
00:09:46it's the marlins three
00:09:48the rays nothing
00:09:49it's the citrus series right here
00:09:52bottom of the inning
00:09:53and stepping in for the rays
00:09:55junior caminero
00:09:58caminero launched the homer in his most recent game
00:10:11that one found hard the other way
00:10:13I just love watching Alcantara get ready for games boom
00:10:16he turns into a different person
00:10:18just usually cracking jokes and having a good time
00:10:21but start days are a different story
00:10:23that's when things get serious for this guy
00:10:341-2 now
00:10:37and a foul ball
00:10:38he stays alive
00:10:48this guy's a fun guy to watch taking it bad
00:10:50he just battles up there
00:10:52he doesn't take a pitch off at all
00:10:54makes it so difficult on the pitchers out there
00:10:56you can tell they get frustrated with how long it takes to put him away
00:10:59that one hammered center field
00:11:02going back
00:11:03reaching for it
00:11:04makes the catch
00:11:06those can be pretty fun as an outfielder
00:11:08got to put it into his highest gear
00:11:10and go a long way
00:11:11to track that one down
00:11:13nothing better than that
00:11:14you feel like a wide receiver
00:11:16playing football
00:11:22that's out the corner
00:11:30ball two
00:11:37next offering in there for a strike
00:11:39that strike one
00:11:40looks like a really good fastball today
00:11:42you can hear that catcher's mitt
00:11:44popping
00:11:45looking forward to hearing a lot of that one
00:11:47in this one
00:11:47and that's in for a strike
00:11:49and it's two and two
00:11:58caught him
00:11:59looking for the K
00:12:00still couldn't catch up to the good velocity
00:12:03good run
00:12:04those last few inches through the zone
00:12:06two outs
00:12:08bases empty
00:12:08Chandler Simpson
00:12:10next to hit for the raise
00:12:12the other way
00:12:14and it stays fair
00:12:20so a two out knock
00:12:21keeps the inning alive
00:12:23well that started
00:12:24it ended pretty quickly
00:12:25no messing around right there
00:12:26and now they've got some speed on first
00:12:28so we'll see if they try to get him into motion
00:12:38that's too low
00:12:38ball one
00:12:48runner
00:12:48runner takes off
00:12:50pitch in for a strike
00:12:52throw off the mark
00:12:54and he's in there
00:12:54two outs is a great time
00:12:56to try to steal second
00:12:57especially when you have a guy
00:12:58with some wheels on first
00:13:00defense probably knew it was coming
00:13:01but figured we better focus
00:13:03on trying to get this hitter out
00:13:13well
00:13:13the best way to shake off
00:13:15yesterday's struggles
00:13:16is to get on the board early
00:13:17they've got a guy in scoring position
00:13:19they've got to find a way here
00:13:21to get him in
00:13:25man on second
00:13:26two down
00:13:27back to the mound
00:13:28he's got it

00:13:43Kyle Stowers
00:14:03that clips the corner
00:14:05and here's a challenge
00:14:06that looked like it missed to me
00:14:09barely a hair out of the zone
00:14:11but it was a ball
00:14:12still two challenges left for them

00:16:24and it stuck
00:16:25that was pretty cool
00:16:28back here at the ballpark
00:16:29let's check out
00:16:30the latest news
00:16:31from around the league
00:16:31center fielder
00:16:33Patrick Mullins
00:16:35he's got to win it all
00:16:36that we're supposed to
00:16:37coming at the game
00:16:39that we're supposed to
00:16:40understand
00:16:42oh
00:16:52pull
00:17:17here's a 2-2
00:17:20battling here as he fouls it away
00:17:292-2
00:17:30now
00:17:32and it's a strikeout
00:17:34for the Sandman
00:17:34his second of the game
00:17:55crushed to right
00:17:56this one's got a chance
00:17:58out of here
00:17:59home run
00:18:04he circles the bases
00:18:05and they cut into the deficit
00:18:08it's 3-1
00:18:19anytime you have a pitch down
00:18:21the middle of the play
00:18:22the percentages go up
00:18:23for the hitter to do damage
00:18:25even if it's a pretty good sinker
00:18:26like that one
00:18:27nice piece of hitting there
00:18:28at the plate
00:18:33here's Gavin Lux to hit
00:18:340-1 so far
00:18:43one out
00:18:44base is empty
00:18:45and a run in
00:18:46here in the last half of the third
00:18:49chopper right side
00:18:51Edwards
00:18:53throws the first in time
00:18:54and there are two outs
00:18:56up next
00:18:57for the race
00:18:58first baseman
00:19:00Dondi Diaz
00:19:12base hit
00:19:15and that'll bring the tying run
00:19:17to the plate
00:19:19I was watching his rounds
00:19:20during batting practice today
00:19:22so impressed with his ability
00:19:23to let the ball travel
00:19:25go back up the middle
00:19:26and the other way
00:19:27sometimes when you step
00:19:28in the box during the game
00:19:29you get a little anxious
00:19:30and you get away from that
00:19:31but so far
00:19:32I've seen him stay consistent
00:19:33with his pre-game preparation
00:19:40right side
00:19:41Konine
00:19:42he takes it himself
00:19:43to the bag
00:19:44and that'll do it
00:19:47Rays with a solo shot
00:19:48to trim the lead
00:19:49it's now a 3-1 ball game
00:19:52it's the Citrus series
00:19:53right here on MLB The Show
00:19:59welcome back

00:20:01at some hot hitting
00:20:02in this series
00:20:04as we check out the numbers
00:20:11a little bit low
00:20:13ball one
00:20:14you know these Marlins
00:20:15doing a good job
00:20:16of putting the ball
00:20:17into play
00:20:17and that makes things
00:20:18more challenging
00:20:19on the defensive side
00:20:20and here's a stat
00:20:21for you Boo
00:20:22they're making contact
00:20:23with more than 85%
00:20:25of the pitches
00:20:25that they're swinging at
00:20:26it's pretty special stuff
00:20:28not so good
00:20:29if you're out there
00:20:29on the mound
00:20:33this one in the air
00:20:34center field
00:20:37and there's one down
00:20:38all those numbers
00:20:39mean this offense
00:20:40is really making
00:20:41the defense work
00:20:42by just putting the ball
00:20:43into play
00:20:44anything can happen
00:20:45at that point
00:21:04this one's real right center field
00:21:07that one
00:21:08heads for the fence
00:21:09and gone
00:21:13he'll take a jog
00:21:14around the bases
00:21:16and they add to their lead
00:21:18it's 4-1
00:21:27that's exactly the pitch
00:21:29he was looking for
00:21:29crushes it
00:21:31and hits it out
00:21:31of the ballpark
00:21:39here's Austin Slater
00:21:41singled and drove in a run
00:21:42his first time through
00:21:43check swing
00:21:45and he went
00:21:454-1
00:21:47one run across

00:21:52right through there
00:21:53for a strike
00:21:57cuts and misses
00:21:58it's a strikeout
00:21:59dominating strikeout
00:22:01there on just
00:22:02three pitches
00:22:02and that's what
00:22:03a good power pitcher
00:22:04can do to you
00:22:05he's hitting his spots
00:22:06but left the strike zone
00:22:07sometimes he bats over
00:22:08before it really begins
00:22:09first baseman
00:22:10Griffin
00:22:11hold on
00:22:14strike
00:22:20fastball is outside
00:22:35rip to right
00:22:38and that'll do it
00:22:42Marlins had another
00:22:43with the solo shot
00:22:44it's now 4-1
00:22:55bottom four
00:22:56as the Rays come up
00:22:58to hit
00:22:58third baseman
00:23:00Junior
00:23:02Cabanero
00:23:05he's pitching well
00:23:06but not throwing a ton
00:23:07of first pitch strikes
00:23:08usually doesn't work out
00:23:10for success
00:23:10but he can never
00:23:11predict baseball
00:23:14and that drops in
00:23:15for a strike
00:23:24that one to first
00:23:26makes a sliding stop
00:23:27throw to the pitcher
00:23:28it's there
00:23:29and that's a great play
00:23:30up next
00:23:32for the Rays
00:23:33and here's a look
00:23:34at how he's using
00:23:35his pitches
00:23:36in this one
00:23:57gets him to chase
00:23:59after that one
00:24:08splits the plate
00:24:09and a count
00:24:10one and two
00:24:24good job to fight
00:24:25take that one off
00:24:26take that one off
00:24:26take that one off
00:24:33one two
00:24:42the fish leading by three
00:24:44we're here in the bottom
00:24:45of the fourth
00:24:48in the air
00:24:49right field
00:24:50Slater
00:24:51gets under it
00:24:52and there are two outs
00:24:59up next
00:25:00for the Rays
00:25:01left fielder
00:25:02so up next
00:25:02Chandler Simpson
00:25:04one for one
00:25:05with a single
00:25:06so far
00:25:12that's a ball
00:25:13that's a ball
00:25:14that's a ball
00:25:39two down
00:25:40nobody on
00:25:42fouls it back
00:25:43with two strikes
00:25:51one two now
00:25:54line drive
00:25:55face hit
00:25:58and that keeps
00:25:59the inning alive
00:26:12right through there
00:26:13for a strike
00:26:260-1 now
00:26:28runner on the goal
00:26:29there's a ball
00:26:31save in second
00:26:32and he easily steals the bag
00:26:34couldn't have picked a better pitch to go on
00:26:36it looked like he was going no matter what
00:26:38but you steal bases so many times off the pitcher
00:26:42you get that jump there
00:26:44and if the catcher's great
00:26:45he can make up the time
00:26:46but if you've got good speed
00:26:48he's not going to make it up
00:26:49that one misses
00:26:50ball two
00:26:58breaking ball through there for a strike
00:27:09man at second
00:27:12fights it off
00:27:13he'll see another
00:27:26outside with a breaking ball
00:27:28Cedric Mullins
00:27:29next to bat
00:27:30for Tampa
00:27:39man on second
00:27:40two down
00:27:41foul ball
00:27:42and it remains a full count
00:27:54payoff pitch
00:27:58ripped on the ground
00:27:59a second
00:28:00there with plenty of time
00:28:01and that ends the inning
00:28:04the Rays strand just the one
00:28:05and they trail it 4-1
00:28:07now it's time for play
00:28:10we go to the top of the fifth
00:28:12now it's the Marlins leadoff hitter
00:28:14Xavier Edwards
00:28:21and first offering is fouled off
00:28:24you know these Marlins
00:28:25doing a good job of simply getting the bat on the ball in this game
00:28:29and the numbers back that up
00:28:30one thing that really stands out to me
00:28:32is how they've only struck out one time
00:28:34that's good discipline right there
00:28:36and on top of it
00:28:37they're producing more than a hit per inning
00:28:42that one hit to right
00:28:45and a quick out number one
00:28:47all those numbers mean this offense is really making the defense work
00:28:51by just putting the ball into play
00:28:53anything can happen at that point
00:29:04and immediately pumps in a strike to the left-handed hitter
00:29:13rip to short
00:29:16fires to first
00:29:17and the first two set down at the top of the fifth
00:29:20that looks routine
00:29:22but it hasn't been so easy for this club defensively this year
00:29:25and you gotta make those routine plays behind a pitcher
00:29:29helps him to get more comfortable and move through this ball game
00:29:31Lopez
00:29:32the next to hit
00:29:34takes ball one
00:29:36two down nobody on
00:29:37and we're at the top of the fifth
00:29:39right side hard hit
00:29:41he takes it himself to the bag
00:29:43and that'll do it
00:29:45nothing doing for the Marlins
00:29:47as they hold on to a 4-1 lead
00:29:53back here in Tampa Bay
00:29:55and stepping in for the Rays
00:29:56Cedric Mullins
00:29:58Cedric Mullins
00:30:04goes 5 feet 7 inches
00:30:0631 years old
00:30:08he joined the team as a free agent
00:30:15liner to second
00:30:16and picked on the hop
00:30:18nicely done for the out
00:30:22up next for the Rays
00:30:24shortstop Taylor Wall
00:30:37breaking ball and that got him
00:30:39up next for the Rays
00:30:43so the Rays batting order turns over
00:30:45Gavin Lux
00:30:47now at the plate
00:30:55in there at the knees
00:30:57for a strike
00:30:58man this guy's got a great feel
00:30:59for his breaking ball today
00:31:06quick toss to first
00:31:08and he's back safely
00:31:12Walls
00:31:12at first
00:31:13one gone
00:31:21and a big swing and a miss
00:31:30struck him out looking
00:31:32and that's four strikeouts
00:31:35well that event seemed to be over
00:31:36as soon as it started
00:31:37three pitch strikeout
00:31:39you've got to be better at the plate
00:31:40right there
00:31:40at least to foul something off
00:31:42extend that at bat
00:32:01quick move to first
00:32:02Walls
00:32:03dives back in safely
00:32:04I think you want to get a one-way lead
00:32:06be very aggressive in the secondary
00:32:08this hitter not a power guy
00:32:10so you want to make sure
00:32:12that you can get some
00:32:13length on the secondary lead
00:32:15there goes the runner
00:32:16pitch misses in
00:32:18throw
00:32:19save
00:32:19that's a stolen base
00:32:21well he picked over once
00:32:22just before the pitch
00:32:23to check on him
00:32:24but that didn't seem to slow up
00:32:25his jump on the pitch at all
00:32:26I think that guy's been studying
00:32:27some video
00:32:28awesome job to be prepared
00:32:30got the timing down
00:32:31and he gets into scoring position
00:32:37man it's second
00:32:41big stock center field
00:32:43grounds third
00:32:44heading for the plate
00:32:45he will score
00:32:47and now just a two-run deficit
00:32:49well has a great job
00:32:50of letting that runner
00:32:51steal second base
00:32:52get in the scoring position
00:32:54come through with the base
00:32:55knock
00:32:55you're out of run
00:32:58Jonathan Aranda
00:32:59getting ready to hit
00:33:00he's grounded out
00:33:01a couple of times
00:33:16the 0-1
00:33:17right through there
00:33:18for a strike
00:33:19and a bat like this
00:33:20is almost over
00:33:21as it begins
00:33:23in this situation
00:33:24you have no idea
00:33:25what the next pitch
00:33:26is going to be
00:33:26you just got to hope
00:33:27that you can make contact
00:33:33got him
00:33:34he picks up
00:33:35his fifth strikeout

00:34:56on the infield
00:34:58Palacios
00:35:01now there's one away
00:35:02that was a good pitch
00:35:03to hit right down
00:35:04the heart of the plate
00:35:04had pretty good timing
00:35:06on it
00:35:06just got underneath
00:35:07a little bit
00:35:07and popped it up
00:35:08now the third baseman
00:35:10Connor Norton
00:35:11he launched the solo shot
00:35:12back in the second inning
00:35:13of this one
00:35:14yeah that was big
00:35:15for these guys early on
00:35:16definitely helped him
00:35:17get off onto the right foot
00:35:18no matter how long we can go
00:35:30nope
00:35:31more one
00:35:38round ball left side
00:35:41zips it to first
00:35:43two quick outs
00:35:44to open the top of the six
00:35:45up next
00:35:46for the Marlins
00:35:47catcher
00:35:48Liam Hicks
00:35:56swing and a ground ball

00:36:16it's the Marlins for
00:36:17the Rays too
00:36:24back now in Tampa Bay
00:36:26and stepping in for the Rays
00:36:28Junior Caminero
00:36:31Junior Caminero
00:36:34so important to get ahead
00:36:36of these hitters
00:36:36you don't want to issue
00:36:37a free pass
00:36:38and allow that tying run
00:36:39to come to the plate
00:36:40always want to keep
00:36:41that other team in a position
00:36:42where if they're going to beat you
00:36:43they're going to have to do it
00:36:44with multiple hits
00:36:48that one's upstairs
00:36:49ball one
00:36:56pitch right there
00:36:57trying to tease him
00:36:58get him to raise his sights
00:37:00pop something up
00:37:01and make it an easy out
00:37:14now he breaks his bat
00:37:18tosses to first
00:37:19one away
00:37:20bottom of the six
00:37:21got to feel pretty good
00:37:22for the pitcher
00:37:22absolutely sawed him off
00:37:24bat explodes
00:37:26and then he makes
00:37:26an easy play on it
00:37:27pretty satisfying
00:37:28if you're out there
00:37:29on the ball
00:37:34tied him up inside
00:37:36with that one
00:37:36big time jam right there
00:37:38I hate it as a hitter
00:37:39but standing in center field
00:37:41you can't help but chuckle
00:37:42a little bit
00:37:49the Marlins
00:37:50leading by two
00:37:52here in the bottom of the sixth
00:37:55and it's fouled off
00:37:57they'll do it again
00:38:07stays alive
00:38:19swing and a miss
00:38:20struck him out
00:38:21the high heat
00:38:22too much on that one
00:38:24seems that he was
00:38:25committed to swinging
00:38:27at this pitch
00:38:27regardless of where it was
00:38:29before the pitch
00:38:29was even released
00:38:30he's in an 0-2 count
00:38:32and you're looking to battle
00:38:33at that point
00:38:34trying to protect the zone
00:38:35so you do become
00:38:36a little more swing happy
00:38:37but on a fastball
00:38:38that doesn't even
00:38:39come close
00:38:40makes you think
00:38:41there wasn't much
00:38:42of a two strike adjustment
00:38:43being made there
00:38:44swing hard
00:38:44in case you hit it
00:38:45he didn't hit it
00:38:46and that'll bring
00:38:47the tying run
00:38:48to the plate
00:38:50there comes a skipper
00:38:52out of the dugout
00:38:53and he's ready
00:38:53to make the move
00:38:54Sandy Alcantara
00:38:55won't go any further
00:38:56and he leaves
00:38:57with the lead
00:38:58after giving them
00:38:59some decent innings
00:39:00we'll be back
00:39:01with a new pitcher
00:39:01in a moment
00:39:08now pitching for
00:39:09Lake Fokker
00:39:10gets the call
00:39:11from the pen
00:39:12he pitched yesterday
00:39:13and we'll see him
00:39:14once again
00:39:24now up for Tampa Bay
00:39:25Hunter Faduccia
00:39:26has grounded out
00:39:27a couple of times
00:39:30now quick throw to first
00:39:31and he dies back
00:39:32in safely
00:40:07that's through there
00:40:08for a strike
00:40:19and a swing and a miss
00:40:20down on strikes
00:40:22and that is the inning
00:40:24nice work from the
00:40:25Miami pen there
00:40:26we're through six full
00:40:27it's the Marlins four
00:40:29the Rays two
00:40:30you're watching
00:40:31Tampa Bay Rays
00:40:32baseball on the show
00:40:34Florida
00:40:43welcome back
00:40:45we're in the seventh
00:40:46we have a new pitcher
00:40:46on the mound
00:40:47Garrett Clevenger
00:40:48guys having an excellent
00:40:50season so far
00:40:51ERA is under two
00:40:52a lot of flexibility
00:40:54coming out of the bullpen
00:41:02he's been great in this one
00:41:04eye hand coordination
00:41:05just failed him a little
00:41:06bit right there
00:41:10no
00:41:26rip to first
00:41:28it's never fun going back to the dugout after hitting the line drive that finds a glove
00:41:32but you will get some high fives
00:41:34you know when you make great contact
00:41:35you feel like you've done everything right
00:41:37but in this game of baseball not everything is in your control
00:41:42close one doesn't get the call
00:41:45and that's ball one
00:41:51swings over the top of that one
00:42:03so a foul ball makes it one and two
00:42:13here's a swing and a drive left field and he knew it
00:42:20that one felt good
00:42:22and they boost their lead
00:42:24it's 5-2
00:42:26that's a swing that'll boost the win probability for sure
00:42:47digging in
00:42:48griffin conai
00:43:03and that one is lifted in the air Simpson under it
00:43:08and there's two down
00:43:13up next for the Marlins second baseman Xavier Edwards
00:43:29foul ball
00:43:39late on that fastball
00:43:41just not able to catch up to that velocity
00:43:45really good take especially with two strikes
00:43:48two down bases empty but one run across
00:43:51here in the top half of inning number seven
00:43:53Diaz
00:43:55he takes it himself to the bag
00:43:57and that'll do it
00:43:59one for the Marlins on the solo shot
00:44:02it's now 5-2
00:44:03it's the Citrus series right here on MLB The Show
00:44:13we're back in a new picture here to start the bottom of the seventh
00:44:16Anthony Bender
00:44:17and compared to a lot of other relievers
00:44:20strikeouts have not been a big weapon for him this year
00:44:23so the defense should be active
00:44:25leading off Cedric Mullins
00:44:45in this situation you expect the batters to be a little more patient
00:44:49possibly take until they get a strike
00:44:51with that you don't want to miss your opportunity to get ahead early in the count
00:44:55he didn't right there
00:44:58live drive base hit
00:45:02man aboard on the leadoff single
00:45:04I don't think that pitch would have been called a strike but
00:45:07he did such a nice job of pulling his hands tight to the body and just getting
00:45:11enough of the barrel on it to be hard enough back up the middle for a knock
00:45:19quick toss first Mullins back on a dive
00:45:23if you're gonna get something going this is the time to do it you get the leadoff
00:45:26man on everybody's gonna look over the shoulder and say
00:45:29I'm just gonna keep the line moving don't try to do too much
00:45:46and that's got extra bases written all over it lead runner touches second headed for third Mullins headed home and
00:45:55they cut the lead to two safely into third it's an RBI triple
00:46:07runner in scoring position
00:46:09runner in scoring position no outs and now it's Gavin Lux 0 for 3 in this one
00:46:16fastball for a strike at 95
00:46:21the fish holding out to a two-run lead here the bottom of the seven
00:46:31this one chopped up the middle to first but they cut it to one as the run comes in
00:47:01pitch misses and it's 2 and 0
00:47:09that's the third and it gets by
00:47:12and that puts the tying run on base
00:47:16well that was an important about this game so great job there stepping up to the challenge
00:47:21he kind of rolled over on this pitch a little bit but he got enough behind it to shoot it
00:47:26through for a knock
00:47:27and you'll take that anytime you can get him to find a hole
00:47:30Jonathan Aranda next to hit for the Rays
00:47:34and the sweeper is in for a strike
00:47:37and the sweeper is in for a strike
00:47:44the 0-1
00:47:47and that one almost got him
00:47:59to short could be two
00:48:01here's Edwards for one
00:48:03on to first double play
00:48:06we look ahead to inning number eight
00:48:08Marlins five the Rays four
00:48:10this is Rays baseball on the show Florida
00:48:29back here in Tampa Bay
00:48:32and now for the Marlins Kyle Stowers
00:48:44oh
00:48:45Clevenger in his fifth season 31 years old and he was a third round pick back in 2015
00:49:09comes a 2-2
00:49:12breaking ball misses down and away
00:49:21foul
00:49:22foul
00:49:22we'll see another payoff pitch
00:49:32and he walked in
00:49:33thank you mate
00:49:33and after that long battle he's aboard representing the tying run
00:49:37what a battle
00:49:38it's not always easy laying off a 3-2 pitch
00:49:41and I tell you what he earned that walk
00:49:47in the air right field
00:49:49Lux on his way over
00:49:53at the ground roll double
00:49:54and that's an automatic double
00:49:56they're cooking with gas boo
00:49:58two runners in scoring position
00:49:59with no outs
00:50:00and a great chance to keep doing damage
00:50:03with swings like the one we just saw
00:50:05for the automatic double
00:50:06looking to keep it going
00:50:07pass me that popcorn
00:50:09next is the designated hitter
00:50:11Christopher Morrell
00:50:14fouls away the first offering
00:50:20in the infield at the corners
00:50:22don't be surprised to see them come home first
00:50:25and prevent that run from scoring
00:50:27good eye at the plate
00:50:29they'll overturn the call
00:50:30they'll keep both their challenges
00:50:37swung on belted
00:50:40carrying well
00:50:42and that one is off the batter's eye
00:50:45wow out of here
00:50:47all muscle to center field
00:50:49it's fourth home run of the season
00:50:52and they add to the lead
00:50:54it's 8-4
00:50:55a little more breathing room
00:50:57is always a good thing in baseball
00:50:59and now they have it
00:51:14well he put a really nice swing on that one
00:51:16and everything was on time
00:51:18took a direct
00:51:27path to the ball
00:51:28excellent extension
00:51:29and just drove it out of here
00:51:31nothing better than when the ball jumps off your bat like that
00:51:35nobody out with three runs in already this frame
00:51:38and we're in the top of the eighth
00:51:41liner base in
00:51:47up next for the Marlins
00:51:49catcher
00:51:49Liam Hicks
00:51:50the next up for the Marlins
00:52:03is
00:52:03Norby
00:52:04aboard here at first
00:52:05with nobody out
00:52:07he's getting a little frustrated out there on the mound
00:52:10getting hit around a little bit
00:52:11let's see if he can settle himself down
00:52:14now one fouled off two and two
00:52:21got him swinging
00:52:22but one of the things that hitters will do
00:52:24is they'll look for that red dot on the baseball
00:52:26as he's coming in
00:52:27to let them know
00:52:28what the pitch is
00:52:29and if they see the red dot
00:52:31it's typically a slider
00:52:32but when a guy's got a really tight one
00:52:34with high spin rates
00:52:35very difficult to determine
00:52:37and that's probably why we saw swing and miss right there
00:52:40just a nasty pitch
00:52:43walls
00:52:44and there's two down
00:52:46well that's a frustrating into the at bat for the hitter right there
00:52:50I mean that pitch was right down the middle
00:52:52I think he got a little too excited
00:52:54came out of his mechanics
00:52:55instead of driving that ball somewhere
00:52:57he popped it up
00:52:58unfortunate for him
00:53:06the 0-1
00:53:09out to short
00:53:10balls
00:53:12tosses the first
00:53:13out number three
00:53:16but the Marlins get three on the homer
00:53:19it's now 8-4
00:53:31back now new pitcher on the mound as we roll into the bottom of the eighth
00:53:34Kane Gibson
00:53:35he's certainly been one of their better relief pitchers this season
00:53:39the numbers are really solid
00:53:40and the numbers are really solid
00:53:41so they feel great about handing the ball over to him
00:53:44Junior Camonero
00:53:47he must have been looking for something else
00:53:49because he gave up on that pitch a little early
00:53:51it was right down Main Street
00:53:52probably not going to see a better pitch to hit in this at bat
00:53:57and a swing and a miss
00:54:06swings through that one
00:54:07it's a strikeout
00:54:08way out in front of that inside pitch there
00:54:10just exactly the opposite kind of approach that you want with two strikes
00:54:15you want to let the ball travel
00:54:16make sure you recognize it
00:54:18try to shorten up so that you can at least put the ball in play
00:54:21clearly fooled but I think even more so
00:54:24you question the two strike approach
00:54:25up the middle
00:54:28fires to first in time
00:54:31up next for the Rays
00:54:34left fielder
00:54:35two down base is empty
00:54:37Chandler Simpson
00:54:38next to hit for the Rays
00:54:40three for three with three singles
00:54:44up the middle
00:54:47he puts it in his pocket
00:54:49safe at first without a play
00:54:51for the Rays
00:54:52catcher
00:54:53utter
00:54:54but do
00:55:03this one in the year center field
00:55:08that is the inning
00:55:13the runs
00:55:14one hit
00:55:14no errors
00:55:15and a man left
00:55:16ninth inning coming up
00:55:17it's the Marlins
00:55:18eight the Rays
00:55:19four
00:55:20you're watching
00:55:21Tampa Bay Rays baseball
00:55:22on the
00:55:23back here at Tropicana Field
00:55:26the spray chart shows us an impressive power display
00:55:30from this lineup
00:55:30four homers so far
00:55:32yeah they've been sending them out all over the yard
00:55:35Boog
00:55:35doesn't seem like there's anywhere for these
00:55:40here's a high
00:55:41now a new pitcher for the Rays
00:55:43Mason Engler
00:55:45and one thing on him
00:55:47he's been really good this season at keeping the ball in the park
00:55:49not an easy guy to take deep
00:55:59up
00:56:07no question about this one it's out of here
00:56:16a monster shot to right
00:56:18home run number five on the season
00:56:21and they add on
00:56:22it's nine four
00:56:25and that shot makes their grip on the lead even tighter
00:56:31looks like this guy was looking out over the plate but he was ready to turn on the inside fastball
00:56:37so direct to the pitch
00:56:39absolutely blasted out of this ballpark
00:56:45nobody on nobody out with a run in
00:56:48here at the top of the night
00:56:49makes the catch one down
00:56:51that swing right there tells me he's seeing the ball pretty well
00:56:55I know it didn't produce a hit but he made solid contact and that's all you're looking to do anytime
00:57:00you're at the plate
00:57:00so digging in Kyle Stowers
00:57:06ground ball up the middle
00:57:09tosses to first
00:57:10got him
00:57:13up next for the Marlins
00:57:15shortstop
00:57:16Otto Lopez
00:57:32right through there for a strike
00:57:41that one finds the zone no balls two strikes
00:57:53and they'll do it again
00:58:04chewed out nobody on
00:58:06and down
00:58:07strike
00:58:07he goes
00:58:08and that'll do it
00:58:11Marlins at another with the solo shot
00:58:13it's now nine four
00:58:15it's the centrist series right here on MLB the show
00:58:24back now as they hand the ball to a fresh arm to start the bottom of the ninth
00:58:28Ryan Gusto
00:58:29and as relievers go
00:58:31he's not a big strikeout guy
00:58:33he tries to force weak contact
00:58:35so
00:58:35command and execution are huge for him
00:58:38Cedric Mullins
00:58:39getting ready to hit
00:58:41one for three
00:58:44Cedric Mullins
00:58:47and
