00:20From inside Tropicana Field in Tampa Bay,
00:24the show has an AL East matchup.
00:26It's the Baltimore Orioles taking on the Tampa Bay Rays.
00:33First pitch coming at you right after the break.
00:40And today's starter, Ryan Pepeo.
00:43What do you look for here?
00:44Just a four-inning start his last time out.
00:47He took the loss.
00:48They're looking for more out of this guy today.
00:52Just about to get started.
00:54Taylor Ward now at the plate.
00:56Taylor Ward.
01:03And we're off for the rolling in Tampa Bay.
01:11Comes up empty.
01:12That's strike two.
01:17And down on strikes.
01:20And there's one down.
01:23All right, let's take a look at the Orioles lineup now.
01:26One guy leading the way offensively for this club right now, Ryan Mountcastle.
01:31Tops on the team in batting average, Boo.
01:33The guy who's showing off some excellent bat-to-ball ability when he digs into the plate.
01:37You know, that's useful if your team needs to get an inning going, get a leadoff man on.
01:42But it's also incredible to have a guy like that in the lineup because he's a run producer who can
01:47drive in runs if you've got guys on base already.
01:49So he's a huge piece in this lineup.
01:51Jordan Westberg.
01:51Jordan Westberg will hit next.
01:58And first offering is fouled off.
02:01Nobody on the team has more stolen bases than he does this season, Chris.
02:15A little out front there as he swings through it.
02:19Filthy chainship right there.
02:20Just pulled the string.
02:27That's the third Caminero.
02:30Zips it to first.
02:32And that'll do it.
02:34Now it's the Rays' turn.
02:36No score.
02:36You're watching Major League Baseball exclusively on the show.
02:45Back now in Tampa Bay.
02:47And on the hill, the big righty, Shane Boz.
02:50And Singy, that may be his name, but the strikeout is his game.
02:55Digging in, Chandler Simpson.
02:57Number 14, Chandler Simpson.
03:04Be-Haw!
03:07And he-Haw!
03:16The one-one.
03:18That one almost got him.
03:28The one-one.
03:31right through there for a strike
03:53the one two and he hits a ground ball right side holiday on the first shot that's a very athletic
04:02play now a look at kevin cash's lineup for the tampa bay rays these guys can really pile up the
04:10runs chris they're among the top teams in scoring this year yeah and when you can get a lead and
04:15be
04:16out in front it really changes what that opposing manager can do with his bullpen and on top of that
04:22it helps your own pitching staff it gives them more margin for error so instead of guys squeezing
04:27the ball trying to throw darts and be perfect they can relax let the ball come out of their hands
04:32and
04:32pitch effectively so that offense and the ability to score runs also helps the pitching and the defense
04:38swings through that one for strike two fives with a stellar run lately on the mound really carving up
04:45lineups now he breaks his back two away
04:52betting third designated hitter jonathan aranda
05:01two outs bases empty and now the dh jonathan aranda
05:08close but call the ball ball one
05:22misses just off the outside edge i think that was a strike
05:26he's just missing with some pitches that i mean those are they're not strikes and that's what you think
05:31out good pitches a strike but so many times pitchers are trying to tease the
05:35zone and the last two pitches that he's thrown good pitches but even better
05:39takes
05:47and foul ball
05:56two down nobody on and that misses and the count's full that's a really good take right there
06:03slider down and in very difficult to get on the same plane and do anything with
06:14looking that was pretty nasty Rays go in order one two three we played an inning no score
06:23back here at Tropicana field second inning set to go so the Tampa Bay Rays look pretty solid about a
06:30third of the way into the season good showing for a team that looks like a real postseason contender
06:35at this point Boog I agree some really encouraging signs so far this season and they put themselves
06:41in a really nice spot it'll be interesting to see if they make some moves for a postseason push over
06:46the next couple months the throw to first and quickly won away in the second
06:53here's Ryan Mountcastle two hits and five at bats last night
07:00outside low and it's one to know Pepio making his tenth start of the year and he was a third
07:07round pick
07:08back in 2019 on the ground right side two up two down at the top of the second
07:16batting six second baseman Jackson holiday
07:42two down nobody on and they'll do it again
07:52the 0-2 nice grab throw to first and that's a nice play to end the inning
08:02we'll go to the bottom of the second no score
08:11bottom half of the day number two and stepping in for the Rays Junior Caminero he's not gonna get
08:18cheated up there no he's not he's looking to do damage with every swing he takes
08:40hit softly on the ground the third Westberg slings to first that's one out the bottom of the second
09:05this one in the year center field Couser settles under this one two down
09:16batting six second baseman
09:18so next to the plate for Tampa Bay Carson Williams
09:22he's struggled to make contact lately
09:25striking out nearly twice in each of the last five games
09:30looks like a really good fastball today you can hear that catcher's mitt
09:34popping looking forward to hearing a lot of that one in this one
09:42swing and a miss and it's nothing in two when you throw a fastball by a guy like that I
09:47imagine
09:48it's got to feel incredible look for him to throw it again at some point
10:01ball
10:03line drive and foul ball
10:10no score here in the second
10:17swing and a high fly ball down the right field line and that one is foul so we'll try it
10:23again
10:33got him swinging for the strikeout chase the fastball up the ladder for strike three we'll move to the third
10:40with no score
10:49new inning getting started now the Orioles catcher Adley Rutschman
11:15next pitch is outside
11:25late that time and it's strike two
11:36foul ball another two two upcoming

11:57here's the two two
12:01liner base hit solo runner aboard to start the inning
12:11batting eight center fielder
12:13you'll often hear the phrase short to it long through it and that's a great example of it right there
12:19got the barrel in the hitting zone early
12:21squared it up with the well-timed swing and came away with a beautiful line drive in the center field
12:29Couser matched a homer in his last game
12:32top of the third no score
12:34no
12:45and that one fouled off
12:55ball two
13:04curve in the dirt kicks away
13:09runner holds and it's a full count
13:13rushman on the board here at first with nobody out
13:18there's a high chopper to first and one away at the top of the third that's a
13:25good piece of hitting right there the job was to move the runner up and give
13:28your team a chance to score the go-ahead run that's exactly what happens so you
13:33better believe your teammates are happy with you after that at bat here's Tyler
13:37O'Neal swinging a foul back that's out of play
13:44the Orioles with a chance to score first here in the second game of the series
13:49swing and a miss as he was out front that time
13:58ball
14:07fights it off you'll see another
14:15and it's second
14:17fouls it off still one and two
14:27this one in the air center field
14:30Mullins settles under it and there are two down
14:41up next for the Orioles left fielder Taylor Warren
14:51close but call the ball ball one Chris he's currently the team leader in OPS
15:03the Orioles looking to strike first we're here in the top half of inning
15:07number three and that one cutting but missing down low
15:16that's a slider for a strike
15:25up next for the Orioles shortstop Gunner Henderson
15:30Gunner Henderson the next to hit for the Orioles he's all for one
15:36on the ground Caminero they get the force and that's the inning so they strand a pair we move on
15:44to the bottom of inning number three
15:46no score
15:52back here in Tampa Bay and now the catcher for the Rays Nick Fortes
15:57Fortes
16:03no that's the ball
16:24there's a line drive to left field one down
16:30batting eight center fielder
16:33Cedric Mullins
16:47hold hard but it's a foul ball look out that ball smoked man I am so relieved that they have
16:55this netting down the lines just
16:57ensure safety for the fans last thing is a player you want to look up and see a fan get
17:01hit
17:13rip to right base in
17:17sole man aboard now with one away
17:19man those are the types of hits where you don't feel any vibration in your hands whatsoever such a good
17:25feeling
17:26nice line drive to the pull side right there but he didn't spin off of it that's the key you
17:30still have to extend through the baseball in order to hit a line drive like that
17:34and now Taylor walks he's done a great job making contact recently working on an eight game hitting streak
17:46Mullins at first one gone quick toss first and he's back in easily
18:02line drive
18:03face hit
18:04makes the turn at second heads for third
18:07the throw in and he's safe
18:10so it's first and third with one down
18:12definitely found the perfect spot those can be hard sometimes we've talked about
18:16in left field you're kind of anticipating cheating in for a ball
18:21hit something like that that you can rob a little soft flare in front of you but perfectly placed so
18:27you reward the hitter with it
18:32that's in there it's on one
18:43two on one out
18:46ball
18:55this ball's chopped on the ground
18:57holiday
18:58they put the tag on him what a double play that was
19:02inning over
19:03onto the fourth
19:04still scoreless
19:09back now in Tampa Bay
19:11out of the fourth
19:12third base Jordan Westberg digs in now
19:17that one's in there
19:18and it's all in one
19:24next offering is foul back
19:32going to down
19:35he goes down
19:42could be a big moment for him right here he's sitting on 999 hits one away from adding a comma
19:50to that total
19:53generally second third time through the lineup you want to be able to lean on those secondary pitches and command
19:59them
19:59looks like he's doing a nice job of it
20:01oh look at the stop
20:02to first
20:03it's there
20:04that's a great play
20:05up next for the Orioles
20:07first baseman
20:35and Ryan
20:38now
20:38Two outs, you just want to find a way to keep the line moving for the next guy.
20:42So an infield single right there does the job.
20:45Nicely done, just putting it in play and getting down to first to keep this inning alive.
20:50You never know what might come next as a result.
20:53Next to hit, Jackson Holliday.
20:56That one fouled off.
21:00And now the 0-1.
21:02That one kicks away from the catcher.
21:07Nothing doing, count moves to 1-1.
21:11Two gone, but the go-ahead run is at first.
21:14Top half of inning number four.
21:18Over to Diaz.
21:19And he has thrown four shutout innings.
21:22Pure athleticism on that one.
21:25In the air, legs split a bit and fires across the diamond.
21:29He's going to get a lot of high fives in the dugout.
21:34Back here in Tropicana Field, and stepping in for the Rays, Yandy Diaz.
21:44He's looking great so far.
21:46It helps with over 80% of your first pitches or strikes.
21:49Who might be able to go the distance if he keeps this up?
21:53Check swing, and he went.
21:55And it's 0-2.
22:04Comes up empty as he chases that one in the dirt.
22:07On to first.
22:08Got him.
22:09One away on the strikeout.
22:17And here's a look at how he's using his pitches in this one.
22:24Up next, for the Rays, designated hitter, Jonathan Aranda.
22:42Here comes the 0-1.
22:46Swing and a miss, and he got him to chase.
22:56Hard hit, left side.
23:00Henderson over to first in time.
23:02Now they get the out.
23:05Up next, for the Rays, third baseman.
23:08Junior Caminero, next to him for the Rays.
23:11He's 0-1.
23:16And a swing and a miss there.
23:18Well, you've got to be careful with this guy.
23:20Two outs, nobody on.
23:21He's looking to drive the ball really far.
23:23So, if you can't get him to chase your pitch,
23:26you might just pitch around him a little bit
23:28and deal with the guy on deck if you walk him.
23:35Bows it back with two strikes.
23:39Two down, nobody on.
23:40We're here at the bottom of the fourth.
23:46Down to the dirt, swing and a miss.
23:49That completes the strikeout, inning over.
23:55Three up, three down for him there.
23:57We played four.
23:58We're tied.
23:59Nothing, nothing.
24:04Welcome back.
24:05Quite a pitcher's duel so far.
24:07Here's how the starters are performed up to this point.
24:18That catches the corner.
24:20You know, these Orioles, as this game goes on,
24:22have to be more disciplined at the plate.
24:24They've been chasing pitches outside the zone all game,
24:27and it's led to some frustrating moments.
24:29They've been fooled quite a bit today.
24:31Fires over to first.
24:33What a play.
24:34Center fielder, Colt Hayley Couser.
24:49And that one just misses a ball and no strikes.
24:52I just think the lack of drawing any walks is an indication that they need to be a little more
24:57selective
24:57and less anxious about forcing something to happen.
25:01Good hitters count the 2-0.
25:04Rolled softly, but that goes foul.
25:08Ball tied up.
25:09And we're at the top of the fifth.
25:12Ball just doesn't seem to want to throw him a fastball.
25:19And there's ball four.
25:21Take your base.
25:26So, next to him for Baltimore, Tyler O'Neal.
25:30Fly to center his first time.
25:32Swing and a foul straight back.
25:44Swings through that one out in front that time.
25:51Struck him out without a swing.
25:54And he is his third of the game.
25:56Killer ball.
26:03There's a strike.
26:09And foul ball.
26:13Two gone.
26:14The possible go-ahead run at first.
26:17Spoils a two-strike pitch.
26:19And he'll see another.
26:23Williams.
26:25And that will end the inning.
26:28He continues to roll on the mound
26:30as five shutout innings are in the books.
26:34Back here at the ballpark,
26:36let's check out the latest news from around the league.
26:38Right fielder, Jake Raley.
26:50Well, these Rays, just lacking discipline
26:53at the plate in this ballgame.
26:54Chasing pitches has been a big part of the story.
26:57We've seen it quite a bit today.
26:59It's been tough for them to make contact at times.
27:01And it just doesn't look like they're seeing it very well as a group.
27:06This one in the air center field.
27:08Couser moving under this one.
27:10One up, one down.
27:11And obviously, a lot of credit for all those chases and strikeouts
27:15goes to the pitching.
27:16It's been nasty.
27:17But you can bet this offense is trying to figure out some way
27:20to put up a better fight.
27:27That one the other way.
27:28And foul ball.
27:33Williams, recently earned Rookie of the Month honors.
27:38Foul off down the right side.
27:48Here's the 0-2.
27:51Up the middle.
27:52And a face hit right there.
27:54And that's a one-out single.
27:58Still able to come through behind in the count right there.
28:01We got that front foot down, and pitch recognition was on point.
28:05Pretty impressive for an 0-2 count.
28:06So, next to the plate for Tampa Bay, Nick Fortes.
28:14First pitch, and he just misses.
28:17Challenge from behind the dish here.
28:21And that just scraped the zone.
28:23The ball is overturned.
28:25Still two challenges left for them.
28:34So, now it's all about protect mode.
28:36So, try to shorten up.
28:37Try to track the ball.
28:39Block it if you have to, as far as just a late swing
28:41that maybe you're not sure about.
28:43But some way, somehow, climb back into this at bat
28:47through the count.
28:54High fly ball, right field.
29:00Two down.
29:04Up next, for the Rays, center fielder, Cedric Mullins.
29:18Out towards right center field, O'Neal on his way over, pulls it down, and he makes the catch.
29:25Still nothing on the scoreboard for him after five.
29:28This is Rays baseball.
29:31Now in Tampa Bay.
29:33Close game here, and a chance now to look at a few highlights from this one.
29:59Gunnar Henderson, the next to hit.
30:01Baltimore, shortstop Gunnar Henderson.
30:22He had a foul ball.
30:33Oh, great stop.
30:34Over to first, and they get the out.
30:40Up next, for the Orioles, third baseman, Jordan Westbrook.
30:51Fought off foul.
30:59You're warm.
31:02That's in there at the knees, and it's strike two.
31:11And a pop-off right side, foul territory.
31:15He can't squeeze it, and it drops in foul.
31:23Tapped on the ground softly to short.
31:26Waltz on the run, throw to first.
31:28That's a nice play there.
31:30Up next, for the Orioles, the designated hitter, Pete Alonzo.
31:37And now it's the polar bear, Pete Alonzo.
31:39Cruising on the mound right now, but a dangerous hitter here in this spot.
31:43A guy with some slug to him.
31:46Pete Rod.
31:54Ball one.
31:57Two down, nobody on.
31:58And we're in the top half of the sixth.
32:01Way out front for strike two.
32:03It really looks like these hitters have been in between with their timing today.
32:07Good fastball, excellent slider,
32:09but they've not been able to commit to one velocity and stay there.
32:20That's foul off to the right side.
32:22Keeps the A.B. going.
32:25Two down, nobody on.
32:28That's inside.
32:29Ball two.
32:38Two, two down.
32:41Next offering misses down and away.
32:44Wow, this guy's really battling up there as if his run is the game-winning run.
32:49I love his tenacity.
32:51This one in the air right field, and it falls.
32:55So he battled through a long at-bat and earned himself a hit.
32:59And that is his 1,000th major league hit.
33:03A nice moment for him.
33:04Yeah, anytime you flip the page on a career milestone, it feels really good.
33:09You know that number's in front of you for a long time,
33:11and you can't get there fast enough.
33:13Good for him.
33:15That one finds the zone.
33:17No balls, two strikes.
33:22Ball one.
33:33Keeps the A.B. going with a foul ball.
33:42Another one, two.
33:45That's a laser base hit.
33:49So that's two straight, two out hits.
33:52Love how he let that ball travel.
33:55Trusted his hands.
33:55Nice job of going the other way.
34:04So digging in, Jackson Holliday.
34:14Two on, two outs.
34:17Swing and a ground ball.
34:19Williams.
34:19And that is the inning.
34:23Making six shutout innings for him out there now.
34:26And we still have no score.
34:34Bottom of the six.
34:36And step.
34:42In for the Rays.
34:43Taylor Walls.
34:44Taylor Walls.
34:51We call that key holding.
34:53Even though it's right there and looks pretty good,
34:55if he doesn't love it,
34:56he's not going to swing that early in the count.
35:13Next pitch misses way outside.
35:150-2 fastball way out of the zone.
35:18I think he's trying to speed him off.
35:19Got to stay back.
35:21Off speed's probably coming.
35:22Ground ball to the right side.
35:24Oh, can't pick it up cleanly.
35:26And they get him.
35:27The misplay made it a bit messy,
35:29but they cleaned things up for the out.
35:31Red fielder, Chandler Sampson.
35:42Pretty frugal guy.
35:43He is very efficient with the pitch count in this one.
35:53Line to left.
35:55And that quickly, two away.
35:59Up next for the Rays.
36:01Now with the plate, Yandy Diaz.
36:03Yandy Diaz.
36:11Yep.
36:20Lifted in the air right center field.
36:22O'Neal on the move.
36:24And that is that.
36:28So, another good inning for him on the mound.
36:31Six shutout innings now.
36:32You're watching Major League Baseball on the show.
36:38Now pitching for the Rays.
36:40Joe Boyle will take over here.
36:42And one thing on him.
36:43He's been really good this season at keeping the ball in the park.
36:47Not an easy guy to take deep.
36:58So, the go-ahead run is on base with a knock.
37:02Up next for the Orioles.
37:05Center fielder, Colton Hauser.
37:09Ball inside.
37:16And a big swing and a miss.
37:23That one to first.
37:25Down the line.
37:26And it's foul.
37:28Definitely got the hitter conscious of the pitch inside.
37:30Really think the outer half is open.
37:36The go-ahead run aboard at first.
37:39Nobody out.
37:40Swing and a miss.
37:42Struck him out.
37:42That's about as nasty of a splitter as you'll come across.
37:45Especially in terms of movement.
37:47I mean, that thing tumbles out of his hand.
37:49And just drops off the table at the last moment.
37:51He keeps it down.
37:52It's just so tough to put wood on.
37:56On the ground to third.
37:58And it gets by him.
38:00Lead runner touches second.
38:01Headed for third.
38:02And it'll be first and third now after that miscue.
38:08Now, just a nice job coming through at a pretty high-leverage spot right there.
38:12A chance now to take the lead.
38:14And at this point in the game, that could be a deciding run.
38:19Ward, in the box, lays off for ball one.
38:22With a layoff that pitch down.
38:25Could be some action here on this next pitch.
38:28Couple runners on.
38:29Probably a challenge pitch coming.
38:33And another ball in the infield at the corners.
38:36Don't be surprised to see them come home first and prevent that run from scoring.
38:44Right through there for a strike.
38:45Man, 91 on the slider right there.
38:48That's a hard one.
38:49That's a low-end fastball for some pitchers.
38:53Splits the play and accounts for.
38:56Great spot to be in right here for the pitcher.
38:58To either strike this guy out, but go ground ball, double play.
39:01And that'll load the bases.
39:04That sets up a really big at-bat in this game.
39:07These are the moments where everyone in the stadium gets really locked in.
39:16First off, bringing it just misses.
39:23That one at triple digits.
39:30To third might be two.
39:32The turn by Williams at second.
39:35To Diaz.
39:36That's two.
39:37Just trying to sneak one through with the bases loaded, but an excellent job by the defense to turn that
39:42one and get out of this jam.
39:53We're back at a new pitcher here to start the bottom of the seventh.
39:57Keegan Aiken.
39:5825th appearance of the year for him.
40:01To the plate now for the Rays is the DH.
40:04Jonathan Aranda.
40:12Not what he's looking for there in the 0-0 count.
40:14Looks like he wants the ball down in the zone.
40:16Movement in the bullpen.
40:18Andrew Kittredge.
40:19The hard-throwing righty is up and loosening.
40:22Ends getting loose as well.
40:35Low drive, base hit.
40:39The leadoff single and the go-ahead run is aboard.
40:45Showed a willingness to drive that pitch the opposite way.
40:48Didn't get jumpy.
40:49Didn't try to pull the ball.
40:51Let it get deep.
40:52Took the barrel right to it and then extended through the swing for the line drive, base hit.
41:16This one in the air center field.
41:20Brings it in.
41:21And there's one down.
41:25Up next for the Rays.
41:27Go-ahead run on base.
41:29Jake Frehley now at the plate.
41:37Ground ball right side.
41:39And it's just fouled.
41:41That was close.
41:43One away.
41:44Tie game.
41:45Go-ahead run stands at first.
41:49And he grounds one to the right side.
41:52Holiday flips it.
41:53There's one to first.
41:55Not in time.
41:57Great effort there.
41:58Up next for the Rays.
42:00Second baseman.
42:01Carson Williams.
42:03Carson Williams.
42:13Missed with a change-up.
42:15And that's ball one.
42:25Run around to go.
42:26Strike in there.
42:29Throw safe.
42:30That's a stolen base.
42:32Down to go ahead.
42:33Run to the scoring position.
42:34It's a big opportunity for them to jump ahead late.
42:37You know what?
42:37I like the aggressiveness right there.
42:39It looks like it's going to be tough to score in this one.
42:41Really good pitching so far.
42:43So why not try to put some pressure on them and see if you can steal the bag.
42:46Get in the scoring position.
42:51Here's a one-to-one.
42:53Swing and a miss as he was late that time.
42:56I think he was sitting off speed there.
43:00And time called at the plate.
43:02Maybe trying to slow things down here in a crucial spot.
43:12Got him swinging.
43:14It's a strikeout.
43:15Pulled the string on the change-up.
43:17Bell needed a big strikeout to get out of danger.
43:19Turned to the deception of that change-up.
43:21Great execution.
43:22Really sold it with the arm speed.
43:24Had his opponent way out on that front foot.
43:28Back at the ballpark as we take a check of the bullpen so far this season.
43:42That's down and in.
43:43A slider missed.
43:56That one at the knees for a strike.
44:02Ball.
44:09To the right side.
44:11And he can't come up with it.
44:13Safe at first without a throw.
44:16Let's see how they rule this one.
44:18Always feels amazing getting a job done when the team needs you to come through.
44:21It's just bigger than your own individual stats.
44:24And now a chance to maybe get creative on offense with good speed on first.
44:46Next offer in there for a strike.
44:49That strike won.
44:50The Orioles with the go-ahead run at first.
44:53And we're in the top of the eighth.
45:02Strike two.
45:03Just not able to catch up to that velocity.
45:11Quick move to first.
45:12And he's back in standing.
45:14Bacerunner with a one-way lead right there.
45:16All he's trying to do is get a look at the pitcher's move.
45:19Had no intent of stealing on that pitch.
45:23Really good take.
45:24Especially with two strikes.
45:29Didn't miss by too much.
45:30But it'll stay a ball.
45:32That knocks them down to one challenge left.
45:37Two-two on the way.
45:40Gets a piece.
45:41And stays alive.
45:44Westberg gets his lead at first with nobody out.
45:55Here's a two-two.
45:58Gets a piece there.
45:59We'll do it again.
46:01Pretty good pitch there.
46:02Take a rip at.
46:03He wants to get his arms extended.
46:04And he likes the ball away from him a little bit.
46:07Just not able to square it up.
46:08Way inside.
46:15Ground ball.
46:16Could be two.
46:17One second.
46:18To Diaz.
46:19That's two.
46:21They made that double play look so easy.
46:23But it was far from routine.
46:25That's the one thing about big wiggers.
46:26They make tough plays look simple.
46:34Bases.
46:42After the double play.
46:44Ryan Mountcastle getting ready to hit.
47:02And it's in for a strike.
47:05And it's one and two.
47:09Up the middle.
47:11And that chance handled.
47:13Fires to first.
47:13Out.
47:14Out number three.
47:16Orioles held in check there.
47:18And we're still knotted at zero.
47:24New pitcher coming on.
47:26The veteran.
47:26Andrew Kittredge.
47:28Going to be a tough matchup for him right here.
47:30Right-handed hitters have been having a lot of success against him so far this season.
47:35Catcher.
47:36Nick Porte.
47:42Ball.
47:55And a one-on.
47:57Tap foul to play.
48:09Swing and a miss.
48:10And the count is one and two.
48:12Tie a guy up like that.
48:13You're feeling like you are in command.
48:20On the ground right side.
48:23Whips it to Mountcastle.
48:25And that's one away.
48:26As the leadoff man is out in the eighth.
48:28Foulter.
48:30Cedric Mullins.
48:39Great take right there.
48:40Showed some really good discipline.
48:41Breaking ball coming in.
48:42You see it well.
48:43But don't trust that it's going to hang on for a strike.
48:46Nice job.
48:47Pretty close.
48:47But it was a ball.
48:49One challenge remaining for them now.
48:55The one-on.
48:57And fouled off.
49:08Here's a high fly ball out to center.
49:13Two up two down.
49:17Up next for the Rays.
49:19Taylor Walls.
49:21Next to hit for the Rays.
49:22One for two.
49:28And that one pulled foul.
49:39Two down.
49:40Nobody on.
49:42Ball.
49:43Kittredge.
49:43A former All-Star.
49:4536 years old.
49:46And they went out and made a trade for him last season.
49:51Gets him to chase after that one.
49:54This guy's sink has so much drop at it.
49:56It's almost like a split-finger fastball.
49:58Instead of just weak contact and balls on the ground,
50:01he gets swings and misses.
50:03On the ground right side.
50:05And it goes just fouled.
50:15Foul ball left side.
50:16He'll see another.
50:26Fouled off.
50:27And they'll do it again.
50:36Here's a one-two.
50:38Fouled off the plate.
50:40They'll do it again.
50:41Good battle here.
50:43About to be the eighth pitch of the at-bat.
50:48And he couldn't hold back.
50:49He's rung up on strikes.
50:52Rays held in check here.
50:53Still no score.
51:01We're back.
51:02It's the top of the ninth.
51:03And there's a new pitcher on the mound.
51:04Mason Engler.
51:06And as relievers go, he's not a big strikeout guy.
51:09He tries to force weak contact.
51:11So command and execution are huge for him.
51:15That's the ball.
51:21And that one ripped to left.
51:23That's a base hit.
51:25So the go-ahead run is on base with a knock.
51:28He needed that one.
51:29It's been a tough stretch at the plate lately.
51:31Anytime you rip a line drive the other way, you feel really good about what you did at the plate.
51:37You trusted your hands.
51:38You let the ball travel.
51:39And you took the barrel straight to it.
51:41That's great work right there.
51:42One away.
51:49Go-ahead run on base.
51:51Colton Couser digs in down.
51:55Close one.
51:56Doesn't get the call.
51:57And that's ball one.
52:03The Orioles with the go-ahead run at first.
52:07You're at the top of the night.
52:08Pitches in there.
52:10Round and two.
52:11Really good cutter that he's able to front door and back door.
52:15Got him swinging.
52:22Up now for the Orioles, right fielder, Tyler O'Neal.
52:28On the ground to the left.
52:31And that's just foul.
52:41Holiday off of first with two away.
52:45That's a really good take.
52:53Base hit right field.
52:58They hold the runner at second.
53:00So another base hit could get us our first run in this one.
53:02That's back-to-back singles for them.
53:04A lot riding on this next at bat now as they look to take the lead at a critical point
53:08in this one.
53:09Here's the left fielder, Taylor Ward.
53:14That's in for a strike.
53:21Ball one there.
53:23It's getting squeezed a little bit here late.
53:29And that one fouled off.
53:32Two on, two outs.
53:39Ground ball up the middle.
53:41Base hit into the outfield.
53:43Runner around third on his way to the plate.
53:45He'll score.
53:46It's an RBI single.
53:48And in the ninth, they take the lead.
53:50Well, he's striking first as he gets the job done to bring home the run.
53:54Really nice job staying up the middle with his approach.
53:57He didn't try to do too much with the pitch.
53:59Just shot it through the infield.
54:01That's a base hit as a run scores.
54:07Got the job done to put him up by two.
54:09Solid swing from start to end.
54:11On time with everything.
54:13Really good balance.
54:14Nice extension.
54:15And he met it out front for the line drive knock.
54:20Can't get there.
54:21Should be extra bases.
54:23One run across.
54:27Now the second run is in.
54:29It's a two-run double.
54:31And they're up by four.
54:32Gets the job done as he brings home a pair.
54:35Got a fastball.
54:36Middle of the plate.
54:37Jumped all over it.
54:38Absolutely smoked that ball.
54:40Alonso in the box here and fouls it off for strike one.
54:46Man on second.
54:48Two down.
54:49That one hammered, but pulled foul.
54:58And he hits a ground ball right side.
55:00Over to Diaz.
55:01And that takes care of Alonso.
55:04And that is that.
55:05Four runs in the inning.
55:07And they've jumped in front to the bottom.
55:10Welcome back as we take a look at their upcoming schedule.
55:13And that's a great left fielder, Chandler Simpson.
55:25That's a stride.
55:46This one in the air right field.
55:48And there's one down.
55:53Up next for the race, first baseman, Andy Diaz.
56:07Looks like he sacrificed to pitch right down the middle for tracking and timing.
56:12Some good hitters will do that.
56:19High fly ball lifted in the air right field.
56:23And a couple of quick outs.
56:31Manager out of the dugout, and he's going to make a change.
56:34Andrew Pitchridge will depart.
56:37We'll be back in a minute with a new arm on the mound.
56:50A new pitcher in the game, Zach Eflin.
56:53And he's got a nice lead to work with.
56:55So he should come in throwing strikes, attacking these hitters.
57:01Last chance for the Rays.
57:03Jonathan Aranda will hit next.
57:05One for three.
57:10Hi!
57:21Ripped on a line to center.
57:23Couser has a bead on it.
57:25And he's got it.
57:26Ball game.
57:27And the Orioles, even this series, up in a game apiece.
57:32Well, you win this one 4-0.
57:33And it feels like you could have exploded for more offensively.
57:37But you also realize that, at times, it was hard to score.
57:40So you get out of here feeling good about this win.
57:43Ultimately, there was great pitching and defense to keep that other team off the board.
57:47You always feel good about a win like this.
57:50A 4-0 shutout in this one.
57:53As the Orioles win this one for Chris Singleton and our entire crew.
57:57I'm John Chomby saying so long.
58:00Can you break me in with me?
58:02Can you break me in with me?
58:05Why you switch phone numbers like both?
58:08Why you can't answer me?
58:11TRUE HANDESTE
58:13Can you fight?
58:14Can you fight?
58:18Can you fight?
58:20Can you fight?
58:21Can you fight?
58:22Can you fight?
58:23Can you fight?
58:23Can you fight?
58:23And yes, I'm Moolah, shawty from Rhyme, shooting all of my business as a lady.
58:27I got rich, so fast they want this break, can't catch a break.
58:29And yes, I know you tired of hate, I'm tired of staring at your face.
58:32And it's a f***ing time.
58:34No one's dirty, no one's sane.
58:38We've been on that grave, no one's fake.
58:41Yeah, I got it.
58:42Yeah, mm, I'm from the MI.
58:45That's it.
