 We are under the lights this evening as we get you set for another edition of baseball on the show tonight We've got a good matchup in store between the Baltimore Orioles and the New York Yankees Major League Baseball on the show is next Jay have will be the starter in this one for the Yankees Dan any thoughts. Hey, thanks Matt Jay have big tall guy about six four two hundred and fifteen pounds It's really put things together not overpowering but pinpoint control really good stuff good fastball Good change up in his curveball is getting a lot better First of three here to start the week is the game's first pitch is taken for strike one And as the Yankees get started here tonight guys that come in looking to make it two in a row as they were winners last time Yeah, Maddie this team finds itself with a huge lead double digits right now and climbing playing really good baseball Some people will say oh you don't want to have that big a lead you start resting on your laurels I look at it the other way man You've earned the right to kind of get some guys off their feet if the manager wants There's a lot of different ways you can go about it. This team's focused in playing really good baseball I would not worry about it keep pushing the throttle That's a well-placed fastball right there just off the outside if you can get guys to expand the strike zone and go after that pitch You're gonna have a lot of success. No luck that time though An off-speed pitch that nearly ran in and got him lying toward the alley and left center Weed arranged to his left as he tracks this one down in left center for the first down Got it second the second base Oh You're right ready now for Baltimore Ramon Urius. Here's the first pitch to him As a veteran out on the mound That's a pitch that you expect to get a call on gotta believe he keeps pounding that spot until he builds a rapport with the umpire Hit on the ground a third and do hard fields it cleanly on the first Now to away Good pitch right there to run the two seamer in on his hands bunch him up and an easy ground ball as the result Enough for the Yones Trey Mancini and he's looking to turn the page the batsman ice-cold over the last eight or so ball games He's ready. Here's the first offering Pitch taken several inches below the zone in fact One oh Sharp ground ball to third. Oh, and he can't pick it up cleanly Go on the board takes care of him and the ending is over Three up three down for the Orioles Orioles nothing Yankees coming to bat. You're watching Major League Baseball on the show Keegan-Akin is ready to go as he'll be on the hill for Baltimore then please act What's the word on him? Hey one of the strengths of this guy is handling right-handed hitters Right-handers coming into this game are hitting under 250 against this guy So he's doing a lot of things right when the right-hander step into the batter's box Here's Miguel and a hard now it'll eat things off here in the bottom half The third baseman be down. Here's the pitch and do hard Fastball off the plate away. It's ball one guys the Orioles as they begin play here tonight They come in in the midst of a stretch where they've dropped six of their last nine All right, Maddie, they show up for game one of this road trip They have to find a way to play a little bit better baseball coming off a recent home stand where they were only able to Squeak out three wins, but at the end of the day the way this team's been playing three wins is a significant positive So let's see how game one of this road trip treats him And he fouls this one off how the two one pitch two and two count here it comes And a changeup swung on and missed for the first out That was aggressive pitching and that at that and I like seeing that he showed that hard stuff until the fifth and final pitch For the strikeout when you work off your hard stuff It really opens up your secondary pitches to be more deceptive and that'll bring up Glibertura's As he rips it on the ground a second he has some trouble with it He won't be in time as he'll beat the throw to first That had to be a scouting report right there. You don't see too many Breaking ball ambushes in the game. He had to know that pitch was coming Giancarlo Stanton now And a swing for him yields a foul pop out of play to the right Good job keeping it close as the camp goes to one and one time for a look at our umpires in this one Behind the plate is Earl Hendricks. Hey D-roll Earl Hendricks He's not a guy that gets a lot of complaints by either players or pitchers He's a pretty good umpire. Yeah, Dan Earl's got a great track record in his sport. He's pretty consistent and overall He's been a fair umpire a ball and two strikes now Torres stands at first with one out Inside with the slider and that'll back him up a bit well below the knees laid off on the change up there Not a bad time right here to put that runner in motion three to count you send the runner And if it's a bad pitch it's ball for payoff pitch home On the ground now for Iglesias. This could be two the second for one back to first But he heard the footsteps at time and the throw pulls the first baseman off the batting and kids This is how you always go hard in the second base Could have been an easy double-play ball But the slide really impacts the throw to first and they wind up only getting one out on the play good aggressive legal slide that time Next for New York look void and you can see his home road splits there He has not fared very well in front of the home crowd oddly enough Here comes the first pitch And this is just off the outside corner for a ball one and oh the bouncer to the left side Alberto fields it cleanly and he'll go the short way to retire the side Yanks leave one. We are still scoreless And here's Renato Nunez in past meetings with Jay have got 12 hits in 22 tries Also of note the four home runs. He said against him first offering on its way They'll try and enticing with a high fastball, but he wouldn't commit it's ball one Hey, if you're gonna throw a pitch like that to this guy That's right where you want to miss any lower and he'll probably make you pay for it a ball in a strike Now now the one-in-one pitch Hit hard on the ground at first. Oh, and he can't come up with it Tossed a half coming up the line as they get the out at first Digging into the batter's box will be Hanzer Alberto. He had a couple of hits in yesterday's contest Ready with the first pitch here it comes Yeah You're a ball one strike the wind up and the oh one and a half swing here But this is in there for a cold strike to no score here as we planning number two Count remains at 0 and 2 nothing in two count and the pitch Swing in a little blooper to center center fielder coming on, but he won't get there. It falls in Anthony Santander the next to bat to show you what he did in May versus what he's done so far at the plate in June Here's the first pitch to him And he gets a head oh and one and it's quickly oh and two Runners on first with one down and it's one and two Hey, I get it. He wants to set up that breaking ball down it away But that 0-2 fastball wasn't even close and a fastball blew it right by him and they're two down Wouldn't the big advantage is to pitching a head and a count of your pitcher because you have to cover both pitches if you're You have to cover the off speed and the fastball in the 1-2 count You might be sitting off speed and what happens he gets the fastball and you can't catch up to the express Austin Hayes the next to bat as he swings and lifts it in the air out to shallow right field Oh, and it eats him up a bit and that runner will go no further than second as there are two aboard now Not again Well, this guy's been swinging a hot stick lately And there's just another example and even when he doesn't hit one on the barrel. He still manages another base in yeah Don't overthink it when you're flowing like he is right now. He's hot as a pistol. Everything's falling Pedro Severino digs in at the plate as he'll swing and hit this one hard But foul off to the left and out of play He sent the 0-1 Changes up on him, but that's in the dirt for a ball all in two strikes to the Baltimore backstop now two and two now Two down runners at first and second he'll strand a couple will go to the bottom of the second no score Here's the second baseman DJ LeMayhew and he's a guy looking to break out in a big way Hasn't been getting the results he or his club have been hoping for a huge First pitch of the at bat on its way and out the second Reigned in and that's out number one batting fit the designated hitter number 29 Striding forward now is the DH Geo or Shella first at bat for him as he enters play third in the American League batting race What a terrific season this guy's having up near the leaders in batting average Without a doubt the highest average and the best hitter on this team First offering on its way on the ground to third Oh, and he can't pick it up cleanly and boy just about overshot his man at first But he's able to keep a foot on the bag over there, and that's out number two Well, if you're gonna bobble the ball you have to hope it's what a guy is numbering down the base pass He's no speedster. So that was a good job to stay calm and make the recovery throw Striding in Mike Tuckman and in case you haven't been keeping up the tabs on him Arguably, he's been one of the hottest hitters in the league over the last seven or so games He's ready. Here's the first offering What a fastball to start things out here not close. It's a ball and no strikes And here's a fastball that's nowhere near the zone. It's two and oh now Hey, you want to talk about being in a zone? This guy's been raking lately and it all starts with this pitch selection Two great takes and he's almost daring to pitch or just go ahead and challenge him slow roller out to short Throw on to Davis takes care of him and that'll end the inning Some of our nation's young minds and future leaders here in attendance Yikes, we're back with more on this Monday night after this Welcome back to the Bronx where these fans have witnessed a lot of good pitching from their Yankees this season Coming into the day They ranked first in the league in both ERA and strikeouts a combination that has opposing lineup searching for answers One member of the staff told me it's a special group of guys I've never been on a pitching staff that's so dominant top-to-bottom and I've been on some pretty good ones Now one of the hitters on the team told me I'm relieved I get to stand behind them and play defense instead of staring them down the box. That can't be fun Good stuff Heidi. Thanks David in field in the over shift here now the pitch Chris Davis is in to start things off as he looks at a ball to start the inning one and oh Now here's the pitch Davis who's often called crush Davis. He was a fifth round pick during the first-year player draft of 2006 Hey, nothing has been handed to this guy drafted in the middle rounds and he has found his way into big leagues This has turned out count leverage right there sitting dead red fastball and he didn't miss it nice swing right there Driving it into the outfield for a knob. Here's the shortstop now. Jose Glacius He'll take a look at ball one looking at his lifetime numbers Iglesias carries a batting line little over the 260 mark Iglesias is a strong defender playing up the middle in the infield He's got great hands good range the big arm and those skills are not lost on his teammates his coaches or his front office For that matter. Yeah, he has the ability what I love about this ball player. He's got such a great internal clock It seems like it's bang bang at first every time but the guy's out. He's got sure hands and an accurate throwing Now better second baseman Uriah Digging in for his second at bat Ramon Uriahs. He got on top of one. It was a ground-out victim last time Yeah, Matty expect this pitcher to try and get the same result That's his last step that right here the double play is in order anything on the ground the way this defense is They could certainly roll to oh and won the count look now the pitch And this is wide one ball in one strike Third inning no score to this point grounded back up the middle LaMay here for one on devoid in any ending double play Nothing doing this time around for the O's home half of the third coming up no score So coming to the plate Kyle Higashiyoka and he's been swinging it The last couple of games the catcher Kyle Bigger Chiyoka First pitch of the at-bat and he tries to hold back on the swing, but I think it would have been ruled a strike anyway It's nothing in one barely able to make contact down 0 and 2 now Nothing in to count and the pitch And he won't offer it that too high one and two No, he sped him up in this at that now It's time for the change up this guy's got a good one and he hasn't thrown it yet in this at-bat The one to his swung on and missed he got him on strikes Boy, there's the perfect pitch right there of the straight change of he hadn't used it yet And this at-bat and what does he do? He uses it pulls the string and gets the big strikeout And that'll bring up Tyler wade As he lays off a fastball too low for ball one 258 the average to begin play two home runs and 17 RBI's The 1-0 is taken for ball two late swing on the hitters count still a good count for him now However at two and one Bottom of ending number three nothing nothing our score Fastball swung on and grounded out towards second. He's got it on to Davis at first in there are two away So it's back to the top of the order now and striding into the plate, it'll be Miguel and do hard first pitch coming here it is He'll start in here with a changeup, but it's taken for ball one Bases are empty here with two men out sharp ground ball the third Throw to first to get him easily and the side is retired One two three go the bombers will head to the fourth still scoreless Set to the start of the fourth and bring up the power hitting outfield or train man seen you this game is rolling Right along as we move into the middle innings with no score You'd think by now one of these two teams would be able to get some baser is on to get him in but that hasn't been the case I think it's going to be a little bit of a problem You'd think by now one of these two teams would be able to get some baser is on to get him in but that hasn't been the case And he gets ahead here with the fastball strike one Hey, this isn't exactly the way you'd like to draw it up not throwing a lot of first-pitch strikes But the bottom line is he's getting outs Now a fastball that's taken close that time, but it's one and one that one misses badly It's ball two up. Here's the two and one pitch heading out towards shallow right Stanton has a read on it makes the play one away So with one away, let's punch up the graphic and show you the pitch speed comparison for the two starters here in the fourth inning Both guys pretty close top speeds of 95 and 94 One out now in the Orioles fourth and digging in next at the plate will be Renato Nunez First pitch of the at bat on its way Set to deliver the 0 and 1 Ball one strike look out hot shot to third and there are two away Now that third baseman Hunter Alberto Stepping in Hansa Alberto. He reached on a single in his first try. Yeah guys, everyone knows he's been slumping Dan you can certainly attest to this only amassing a solid one hit in your entire career But pressure's off now. Maybe he gets hot. Well, that's a nasty breaking ball right there backdoor slider Just missed the corner as they say that's a Hall of Fame pitch No runs three hits and no errors for the Orioles so far Changed up on him and dropped it in for a called strike Gutsy pitch right there to oh change up for a strike good call by the catcher great execution by the pitcher And he can't catch the corner here. So he's behind three and one Team's been struggling on offense. Let your d work for you right here pound the zone green to Full count Count remains full into the windup ready with the payoff pitch hit pretty well out toward right center field Stanton giving chase. He's there to track it down and that'll end the inning One two three go the Orioles onto the bottom of the fourth now still with no score No digging in now or the game sense a lead us off in the home half of the fourth inning labor Go red First pitch coming here it is That's a ball The 1-0 to be honest with you I'm a little bit more afraid the guy on deck to the guy that's up right now if I'm on the mound I want this guy up right now. He's the guy that's got to beat me And he finally gets this one over for strike one One of the best ways to keep a guy uncomfortable is to pound him inside They're doing that and this one caught the zone Three one and that misses for ball four to lead off walk that starts at the bottom of the fourth Well, they haven't been able to scratch a run across yet. So maybe this walk will jump start their offense a little bit Now John Crello Stanton reached by a way of a fielder's choice his first time around And they don't need anything special from him right here They need to find a way to just move that runner up 90 feet. Don't be shocked if the sack bunk gets laid down These are the moments in the game that can sway it one way or another while you get a W Or a loss right here lead-off man on hard of the order coming up There's a swing and he sends a ball high in the air into left field John Carlo Stanton number 22 on the year and this is now a two-to-nothing lead for the Yankees No surprise with that swing of the bat This guy is simply one of the best in the game right now There's not too many guys that take a beautiful hack like that in the lead and now back now Strike here on a borderline pitch at strike one Hey, it's not always about filling up the strike zone all the time every inning He's pitching well as we're moving into the middle innings But interestingly less than 50% of his first pitches have been for strikes And a slider just about gets away from him there as it runs in a bit too close for comfort Well, I'll tell you if he wants to turn things around that pitch is one He's going to have to start locating a lot better Two balls in a strike to the Yankees first baseman. I Don't blame him for not coming over the heart of the plate He circled this guy on the lineup card when he got to the yard today. He's been swinging one of the hotter bats in the game Into the windup. Here's the two and one pitch Turned on that one and crushed it just pulled it a little foul Tutu Hit back up the middle Scooped up on the first so a good bounce back pitch there as he gets the ground ball for the first out Now batting second baseman DJ Rob Mayhew And that sends DJ lamehu into the box comes into this at bat 0 for 1 in the ball game Ready with the first pitch here it comes Cold strike down in the zone. Nothing in one got him to go after that one and he's in a quick hold 0 and 2 Oh to count you could do just about anything you want right now up down in out hard Soft good time to be a pitcher you take strike three called on the fastball Couldn't pull the trigger and there are two away just flat out frozen there nothing to deceptive about that foreseen fastball So I think he wasn't expecting it at all in Giovanni your shell up a ball of no strikes He's 0 for 1 after grounding out in his only trip to the plate so far up top. It's 2 and 0 Hey always a good idea to take a couple of pitches when you're facing a young arm like this one And now he's put himself in a real good hitters count the 2-0 Probably better that he let that pitch go anyway after seeing a lively fastball in the pitch before It's pretty hard to sit back enough on a well-thrown changeup gets the sign here comes the 2-1 On a good pitch there had him stretching to get out there and it's 2 and 2 now See guys. He is human occasionally an ugly swing right there But he's having a monster season, so I'm gonna give him a free pass for the wind up here comes the 2-2 pitch Down his bowl for the guy in the mound This is one of those innings where nothing comes easy He's thrown a bunch of pitches and this a B hasn't been any different definitely laboring at the moment Into the wind up ready with the payoff pitch And awfully close there on three and two but take your base says Earl Hendricks sits ball for Yeah, the pitching coach now bad to go to the better builder this early the game But sometimes you have no choice there on the flip side He might just get in his face a little bit out there try to challenge him wake him up from his funk either way We'll see how it works into the box now Mike Tuckman Here's the first pitch to him Well behind that fastball. It's a swinging strike Two runs on two hits and no errors for the Yankees so far and he takes strike two What a nasty pitch right there batter thought it was gonna hit him and it ends up breaking into the zone for a strike Oh, he went for the knockout pitch that time, but a good eye one and two Man a pitcher let the guy off easy right there that old two pitch wasn't even close I'd rate that as a non-competitive pitch the one to her on first with two away and that misses two and two He's already walked two in this inning already This guy just can't seem to find the strike zone and a fastball swung on and missed and the side is retired Yankees get a couple on the two-run home run We played four it's now to nothing New York welcome back to the Bronx as we check in with Heidi Matt I had a chance to discuss the state of the Orioles offense with their manager between innings and flat out He told me they just need to put better swings on the ball right now He said they're searching for ways to drive the ball with some authority because it's just not happening for them today They haven't gotten an extra base hit yet So it's been a real struggle getting guys into scoring position But the key he said is not to panic sometimes you just have to fight through the downturns and keep your focus and energy high Thank You Heidi the left fielder number 25 Anthony First pitch of the at bat on its way And you'll hold off on the slider here to start the at bat It's ball one like a definite pitchers pitch there on the inside one and one Here's one that misses so it's two and one now to the Oriole left fielder high in the air out to left field Wade is there and he has it for the out now bad the center fielder Austin Stepping in Austin Hayes one for one after a single his first time up now. Here's the pitch Swung on and lifted in the air to left center left fielder giving chase He gets there and that's the second out up next for the Orioles the catcher Severino Digging in Pedro Severino. He popped out in his first trip pitch on the way First pitch fastball off the plate there and it's ball one Two quick outs in this inning so far and his pitch count is really down I think one of the keys is he's been attacking the strike zone early on Making these guys swing the bat so far in this one Downstairs two balls and no strikes Two out nobody on Pitch is popped up void in foul ground and no one will track it down there two and two He's in complete command of his two-seamer right now. It's got great movement great depth running all over the place This offense gonna have a tough time count full three balls and two strikes Now the three and two pitch Here's a fastball now. That's it softly down the line to third and that's a base hit one for two in his first couple of played appearances Boy D roll that ball wasn't hit very hard But when you're struggling like this guy is any knock is a good knock. Yeah 100% He doesn't usually get those he has to square it up mid-barrel to find a way to get a knock He hasn't had much luck this year, but he'll take that any day Chris Davis hit the plate now This balls hit a ton out to center field racing back to center fielder gone Into Monument Park a two-run shot for Chris Davis Eight home run on the season for him as the Orioles have come back to tie this one at two This is a perfect example of the total concentration. It takes to be a pitcher at this level He was on cruise control hitting his spots preserving a two-run lead and then boom He misses his location and the game is tied back to square one now Jose Iglesias You'll start him here with a change up, but it's taken for ball one Oh for two from him so far in this one that one's a called strike back even at one Two balls in a strike to the Orioles leadoff hitter Sometimes it can be difficult for a pitcher you're facing a guy that's not known to be a big stick in the lineup Sometime the toughest thing is to be aggressive and throw strikes and this is on the inside edge Perhaps off the inside edge, but it's a called strike two and two now Now here's one hit in the air to the right side and Nope, this one falls so we'll get another shot Even at two balls and two strikes. Here's the pitch lifted in the air out to center field center fielder on the run He's there to make the play and that'll retire the side But the Orioles strike for two thanks to the two-run home run Bottom of the fifth coming up and we're deadlocked now with two apiece Welcome back to the Bronx as we check in with Heidi Thanks Matt. I talked with the Yankees manager Aaron Boone during the break about the team's offensive performance so far And he said they just aren't putting enough competitive at bats together right now He told me he can't recall many times where they've been able to get to a full count today And while that's not always a necessity for success, they've clearly had their struggles today Especially when it comes to making things difficult on the opposing pitching Good stuff Heidi. Thanks Leading up set now for the bottom of the fifth and up to bat next it'll be the catcher Kyle Higashiyoka Comes the first pitch Pitch taken several inches below the zone. In fact, here's a blooper out toward left center charging in his Santander He can't get there as it falls in Up next for the Yankee the left fielder Tyler To the plate now Tyler Wayne fun to tempt here as he gets this one down To second for one, but he'll put this in his pocket and be content with just the one out That was kind of a high degree of birthbait to play that time be good See the off-balance on the second base and he couldn't get a lot on it, but they did get the out And that'll bring up Miguel and do hard He was retired via the ground ball last time up first offering on its way high in the air out to center field Hayes is there to put it away and the runner will be forced to retreat back to first Now batting the shortstop labor Go red Striding into the box Torres from the stretch The fastball here is he'll take a look at pole one one and all And this guy's got to be pretty proud of what he's done so far It's never easy to pitch on the road, but to have this kind of outing in a ballpark That is notoriously known as being hitter friendly. It's been a treat to watch and he falls behind now to an O You thank your lucky stars when you get a chance to hit behind a guy with as much speed as he has on first base The entire defense is on guard and you know, probably there's a fastball coming ready with the 2-0 pitch Lion Drive to left in there a base hit And digging into the batter's box next to be Jim Carlos Stanton no balls in a strike to count There's a swing and he sends a ball high in the air into left field On home run for John Carlos Stanton his second of the game and just like that. It's now a 5-2 ball game Second home run at a game right there. He is locked in at the plate You hear so many of today's players talk about rhythm and timing He is perfectly on time In the heart of his own Into the box now He swings and hits it off to the right and out of play Oh for two for him to this point the wind up here comes the oh and one Outside part of the plate the change-up is in there looks like a lefty and a right-hander throwing in the Baltimore bullpen Three runs already home here Look out as he's got a hit the deck here. It's ball one And he strikes him out here So he's able to stop the bleeding a bit as this side is retired Another look at the big blow for the bombers a three-run home run Five innings complete. It's now five to New York half of the sixth about to get started And that will bring in the second baseman Ramon Uriah's Uriah First delivery to him on the way Fastball too high to start him out here one and oh pitch on the way Hit the other way out toward right field Stanton has a read on it one away the right field number Ray Mancini Stepping into the box train Mancini no hits to this point on its way is pitch number 75 Right guy right spot This is one of the better hitters in their lineup just the guy they want to see coming up now to get this inning going Lays off again, and it's 2-0 2-0 that's down into left center for a base hit running hard He's digging for second in its second base with a one-out double. There's no question He's been struggling at that. They're trying to do anything to get himself going So he's got to feel pretty good after that double not to take anything away from him But I think I could have probably hit that pitch. Yeah, that's one of those gift pitches not the location. He was shooting for Stepping in now, Renato Nunez And he puts it on the ground a second loved by the Mayhew and there are two away now Now this is not an easy play when you have to range to your right He really didn't have a chance to get his feet set. So this is all armed nicely done To play punzer Alberto runner in scoring position with two gone Here comes the first pitch fastball misses in the dirt as he tried to get him to chase the low one Five two is our score here in inning number six ball to now Non-competitive pitch right there runs the count to 2-0 and he is ready to do some damage in the box from the stretch Line drive snagged on a short hop Ticks care room and the inning is over Orioles leave one and the deficit remains five to two Here are the last kids enters to do a pitching in the bottom of the sixth number seventy-six Hector Ready to go for the last half of the inning and that will bring me in DJ The second baseman Love they view He's ready. Here's the first offering the 1-0 Grounded down the third baseline Alberto has it throw on to first in time one away Now that number 29 The plate now is the designated hitter Giorg Shella. It was a walk in his last trip. He's set and the pitch Fastball too high to start him out here one and all the last kids the native of Mexico. He's in his fourth season as a major league player One out nobody on sent on the ground out to second On to Davis at first and there are two away Now that the center fielder Mike Talk bad Striding in once again Mike talkman third trip to the plate for him here tonight 0 for 2 at this point First pitch of the ad bad. Oh one count. Here's the pitch boy. He comes back with a beautiful pitch there And he's dominating this at bat. It's 0 and 2 now Real ugly 0 1 swing there as a pitcher. You've got to be hunting for the strikeout knowing you have this guy way off balance Not a bad pitch there with two strikes, but it misses one and two ball two strikes now. Here's the pitch Popped him up Severino is under it Makes the catch and that'll retire the side So the Yanks go one two three and it remains five to two Ladies and gentlemen is on the pitch from the bullpen now to start ending number seven or the Yankee Number 61 Heller Digging in Anthony Santander. He's hit listen is to at bat so far Infield shifted well to the right. Here's the first pitch The frustrated on the mound here is the fastball misses for ball to now to all count the pitch finds the zone strike one That pitch right there caught entirely too much at a play curve ball that rolled over the heart of the plate He's got to pull a trigger on that one Into the corner and slicing foul Fastball swung on and missed for the first down You know what was really impressive to me about that strikeout. He fell behind to know the start That's a pretty bad place to be but any kind of refocused himself and came right back with three Quality pitches in a row to sit him down That's not easy to do but now his focus has to hone in on getting ahead on the next guy In there at the knees strike one and a pitch in the dirt as he lays off It's one and one offer on that one two balls in a strike Big sweeping breaking ball right there a good pitch But if he wants to get him to swing at it He'll have to bring it in a little bit closer to the strike zone now the two one Hit in the air to straight away center Tuckman is back and he'll get there to make the play for route number two the catcher number 28 Pedro Severino Now with the plate Pedro Severino. He's working on a one for two games so far First pitch on its way There's the fastball that gets the lower part of the zone called for a strike This is in the air to right Stanton is under it and he makes the catch for up number three Three up three down for the Orioles a trail five two You're in LeBlanc gets the call from the pen to take over on the mound and start the home seventh Wade LeBlanc Bottom of the inning now and now it'll be the catcher Higashiyoka the catcher Kyle Higashiyoka He's ready. Here's the first offering Slap hard the opposite way and this is a fair ball as it'll head for the 314 sign And he's able to hustle his way up the second as he'll reach here with a two base hit Now he almost blew that fast ball by but he shows some quick hands to catch up to it and drive it down the opposite line Didn't keep it fair by much, but he did and that's a nice two-bagger To the box tyler wade and there's a swing and a miss at an off speed pitch to start him out Nothing in one and here's a swing and a miss as he falls behind nothing in two Got to believe you're going to get some tough pitches in this count with the base open at first This is where you have to regroup and find a way to get a good pitch to drive in that run Ready on 0 and 2 Paul sent back up the middle Holds the first baseman off the bag and he'll reach it first Well, it's until the seventh but he gets his first hit of the game here and that'll extend his hitting streak Yeah, he didn't come out of his he didn't come out of what he was trying to do all day Dan kept the front shoulder tough Kept the ice water in his veins and then try and get too big extends the hitting streak. Nice job You know d. Row I talked to him before the game about the streak and he said the toughest part is He hopes to get hits early in the game to take the pressure off He had to wait to the seventh inning in this one to come through from the belt kicks and deals Miguel Andujar is at the plate here as he quickly finds himself down a strike. It's 0 and 1 No problem with that take right there first pitch from a reliever got to calibrate that velocity The 0 1 on its way That miss that's the ball One on one and he comes back with a fastball one and two now With two strikes now and a runner at first Do you go for the strike out or you're still looking for the double play ball? Good time to try to put the ball down in the strike zone. You can either get a strike out or potential double play ball the 1 2 Is laid off for ball 2 2 and 2 now the 2 2 Line drive to left Catch will be made here tagging is the runner from third The cash in here is the runners in to score from third Well, he hit that ball pretty well, but the only problem was that he pulled off it just a bit Was a little on the outer half So he would have hit it even better if he would have stayed through the middle of the field with it Digging in and looking for more torres two hits in two trips more and thus far Things first here's a throw over and he has to dive, but he's back in easily from the belt the pitch Hey, there aren't too many power hitters in the game that would let that pitch go by On its way the 0 1 pitch down the first baseline But this will be a foul ball as he's behind 0 and 2 now now with throw over just keeping him close Runner at first here one man out Swing and a miss on the change up and they're a two gone Pretty textbook pitching right there jump ahead and account ozu and then start walking outside the zone Easier said than done, but that's the way you do it Stanton Standing in now Jean-Carlo Stanton pops this one up just beyond the infield on the right side Euryus is there to make the catch and the side is retired So a run on two hits no errors and a man left Eighth inning coming up the Yankees are out in front six to two Your attention has been summoned from the ball pen as he'll do so to start the eighth number 85 Louis Chris davis will stand in again as we flash you back to earlier He's accounted for their only runs of the ball game on one swing at a bat as this was the swing right here Ready to deliver. Here's the first pitch the wind up and the 0 1 Well out in front of the breaking ball there for a strike Try and tempt him with one in the dirt, but he'll hold back here It's one and two and it looks like the Yankees will have a left-hander up and throwing in the bullpen The one two Is swung on and miss strike three Well, we've seen some really good pitching from these guys in this one The bullpen has looked sharp and it backed up a nice effort turned in by the starter These days pitching has become a full staff effort and i've been impressed with the job these guys have done so far At the plate now Jose Iglesias As he will take a look at a fastball in there as that strike zone expands just a little its own one Bases are empty one man out This is he at high in the air out toward left center long run for the center fielder He gets there and makes a fine running play for the second out Now that second baseman remote Uriah Now in the box Ramon Uriahs air quickly down to their final four outs here tonight Here's the pitch Here's a slider that's inside one and own Skied into straight away right Stanton is camped under this one and that will retire the side One two three go the Orioles. They still trail here. It's six to two Richard Lyre is on the pitch out of the bullpen in the bottom half of the eighth Number 48 Richard Dwyer Oh, now it'll be the four hole hitter Going down on strikes last time up the first base. Yeah, but it was a good change up maddie Good arm action on that pitch look for him to try and stay back a little bit more Let the ball get a little deeper. Don't be shocked if this pitcher tries to rush a heater right here on our home Count even now at one and one Hangs on him a bit that time as it's belted out toward deep center field Oh, but that'll be shy of the monuments as it hits off the wall And he is in the second base with a leadoff double Sometimes when a reliever comes in the game, he wants to get that first strike so bad that he serves one up And that's exactly what happens here The first battery face is just Rockets one off the wall and now he's got to worry about another base hit potentially bringing home a run So now to the plate dj lamehu and on the first pitch he hits it in the air to right Therefore it is mancini. And that's the first out of the inning the throw is wild and it gets away Now batter number 29 Next will be the designated hitter geore's shella. He's 0 for 2 in the ballgame so far First offering on its way That one's down around the knee is taken for a strike So far this season burshella is carrying around a batting average in the 320s. That's what you might call potent Yeah, this is a great spot for him right now He just seems to have been picking up left-handed pitching great all season long count now a ball and a strike the one in one pitch Hit the other way out toward right field Mancini is there two down up next for the anchor the center fielder one Ready for another chance mike talkman no hits in three tries so far. He's struck out once First pitch coming here it is Two out here in a runner at second now a swing and a miss at a slider for a strike I know that feeling played 14 years in the big leagues and still can't hit a slider One's in the dirt and he's gonna make it up the third here as he advances on the wild pitch That can be a tough read as a runner on second to see if the ball has gotten away Enough to move the third you have to be sure you can make it. He was there and now he's only 90 feet away Men on third with two down and he takes Very close to the inside corner here two and two though And that's into the corner of foul ball and right Three and two to the Yankees center fielder When a pitch is close to working through a quick inning That's when you really need to grind out some at bats He's done a good job of that and that's really big when you're hitting towards the bottom of the order Now the three and two pitch get hard to short the glaciers is there Throwing the dirt put a good scoop at first saves an error as the side is retired One left for the Yankees They lead it six to two Britten comes on from the pen hoping to finish this one off here in the top of the ninth number 53 Zach Britain All set to start the ninth in this one and that'll bring up the power hitting out fielder treyman sceny train Here comes the first pitch Nope ball on all home Two and two and here's a ball hit in the air But this is going to wind up a foul ball Here's another two-two And a swing and a miss good pitch there for the first out here in the ninth Now batter the designated hitter Renato And now the designated hitter for the Orioles Renato Nunez It could really use a knock here 0 for three in the game so far First pitch on its way One out nobody on ball one One one Lying toward the gap in left center And this is into the alley and ought to be good for extra bases And he'll pull in the second with one away Everyone knows that this guy's numbers are not where he wants them to be so far this year But you never know by that swing He looked fluid and confident driving that pitch for a double. We'll see if that gets him going a bit To the plate now Hanser Alberto and it's fouled away other one fouled off and he's quickly behind 0 and 2 Runner at second here with one man out Holds this one in the air out to left left fielder giving chase He makes the play really had to hustle to get to that one too gone now The left fielder number 25 Anthony Santander So stepping in Anthony Santander he comes to the plate as the last chance for his side two out here in the ninth Here's the first pitch to him And he'll hold off on the slider here to start the at bat. It's ball one You know in this situation you almost have to pitch like there's no one on base That run really doesn't mean anything with the lead they've got the hitter is the guy that can turn this game on its head To an ode to the ball to more left fielder Now you can see he's working around this guy right here. Why not first base is open walk wouldn't be the worst thing in this spot He with the 2-0 Swing and a miss two and one Got to sit middle middle when a guy's trying to pitch around you if he's going to give you first base take it To the 2-1 sinker and it's three balls in a strike now Austin Hayes would be next if they can keep this ending alive Runner in scoring position at second with two down Good pitch as this has swung on and missed and now they're down to perhaps their final strike of the evening Proud of over 39,000 on their feet to struck him out and that'll do it here as the ball game is over Always nice to get the first game of the series But even more so when it's in front of the home crowd seems to energize everybody the rest of the series And tonight's ends at a six to two finish New york used a nice fifth inning to take the lead and they never gave it back Jay hap earned his ninth win of the year So that's a wrap here tonight for marco rosa dan, please act and heidi watney.
