 We are under the lights as the show gets you ready for another edition of Major League Baseball Coming up. We've got a good matchup in store between the New York Mets and the New York Yankees The Yankees have now won five consecutive games. They'll aim to continue their winning streak next Eric Cole the California born right-hander is on the mound Dan any thoughts hey This guy pitched well his last one getting through seven innings in his last start We'll see if he can turn in another quality start and pick up the win in this one also Stepping up now Ahmed Rosario. He'll get us started in this one under the lights Ready to deliver here's the first pitch In there oh and one and as the Yankees get started here tonight guys They come in right into five game winning streak and they've really got things clicking. Yeah, Maddie This team's coming together right now to play in dangerous baseball. You can tell the look in their eye They feel good about where they're at They've won a few games in a row and they look to continue that trend today And that's up in the zone a bit, but a called strike oh and two home and two strikes 77 degrees our temperature at game time tonight the one and two pitch It's a third oh and he can't pick it up cleanly And that's out number one Here's Robbie Cano now. He's assuming the role of DH in this interleague matchup Yeah, Matt That's one of the funny things about National League teams playing in ale ballparks all of a sudden the lineup kind of changes Dramatically, but the cool thing is it gets more guys a chance to get some of bats or time in the field Cano waits on the first pitch Time for a look at our umpires in this one working the plate is Carl Dixon Dan this is an offensive player's dream to have called Dixon behind the dish He is tight on the corners. He is D. Rowan. Listen. He makes you bring the ball into the strike zone Normally high scoring a games when Carl's behind the dish Bases are empty one man out Swung on and missed Let's get it going boys. Somebody's loose hitting 98 with ease in the first inning hopped him up Over to the left but playable over in foul ground and this will not be caught. It's a foul ball the 1-2 Still a ball and two strikes the 1-2 Gets him looking at the knees for the strikeout Flat out locked him up with the changeup right there Usually you're trying for a swing and miss when you throw that bitch in a two-strike count But clearly he wasn't looking for it. So it's a backwards K for him Jeff McNeil will be the next to take a turn As he'll try to hold back on the swing, but he went around for the first strike Well, even though these two teams are in different leagues They do play each other every year because of the crosstown rivalry and it's always pretty fun Yeah, for the players Matt, they love it Not only is there more on the line than usual like bragging rights, but they're not having to stay at hotels and all that It's just like a normal home game where they're driving to a different ballpark Two out nobody on Pulls this one into the air out in the right field judges under it and the inning is over Mets go down one two three Mets zero Yankees coming up It's crosstown action on Major League Baseball the show Noah Cinder guard gets the ball for the Mets in this one. Dan, please act. What do you got? Hey in his last start he picked up his ninth win of the season It's always nice to get into double digits and nothing he'd like to do more than to pitch well in this one and pick up His tenth victory of the year Here comes Brett Gardner now as he'll lead things off in the home first Now here's the pitch Hit hard to short he has some trouble with it And the throw won't be in time as he'll be able to beat out the recovery throw at first Well as we take another look at it You can see that this thing kind of handcuffed him and he couldn't make the play comes off the heel of the glove and the lead-off Man is aboard and that'll bring up Aaron judge having a very nice year Currently second in the American League in batting average entering play this season really shouldn't come as a surprise to many We all know what kind of skill this guy produces when he has a bat in his hands he with the first pitch here Here it comes And a fastball to start things out here not close. It's a ball and no strikes Fellows these Mets as they enter play here tonight despite that loss last time out They're still on a pretty nice run as they'd won six in a row prior to that. Yeah, Maddie It's been a pretty productive week at home to say the least six and one on the recent home stand the last thing You want to have happened is to get on the plane and leave that there the way you've been playing Fundamentally sound pitching hitting some defense they have to find a way to continue the momentum Bottle up what they did at home and take it on the road with them even a miss at the two-oh sinker two and one That's not a pitch. He misses very often. He knows he should have done something with that one to two here It is and a good sinker there gets him swinging for the first down. Well, that's just a quality pitch right there The location was excellent because if it's put in play, there's a good chance It's on the ground for a double-player. Hey a strikeout always works, too And that'll bring up Glaver Torres as the first pitch misses to him. It's ball one He's entering play in this one a homerun shy of 20 for the season the 1-0 is a sinker that misses for a ball Clearly working the bottom of the zone trying to get a ground ball for a double play It comes to an O down low and the plot thickens here three and oh We're seeing a good a be here from the three hole hitter if he can work a walk or pick up a hit here He's gonna put that cleanup guy in a really good position to do some damage in this first day And he finally gets a sinker over here for a called strike one. There's the good fastball and he can't catch up three and two Hey now. He's got me confused up here This is a known sinker ball around on the mound trying to roll a double play and he throws him a foresemer Ready now with the payoff pitch and he looks at a sinker for a called third strike and now they're two gone Not too often you see and if that go from three and older would strike out So that's a pretty good job on the mound right there Kind of nice that he got a free strike on the 3-0 take but he still had to put it in the zone And digging into the batter's box next will be Giancarlo Stanton McNeil at second to finish off the force play and that retires the side and Ending in the books tonight still scoreless here on the show I'll set for the start of the inning and up steps the power bat of Peter Lonzo In field in the over shift here now the pitch And he swings through a fastball and doesn't catch up with it. It's 0-1 Right into the shift Reigned in pro deferenced will be in time and there's one gone here to start the second Into the box Michael Conforto the field shifted well to the right. Here's the first pitch Set up away with the change up, but it's one and one Still looking for our first hit in the ballgame and this one runs a little too far in bowl to yep Here's the two and one pitch Fastball well outside JD Davis will be next right into the shift, but this a wind of foul as he runs the count full now No score here as we play inning number two and another foul ball three two one more time The swing by Conforto and this is driven to deep right And out of here and I mean by plenty that ball was crushed a Sobo home run there for Michael Conforto 19th home run for him on the season and the Mets are on the board first one to nothing When that pitch was grooved right down Main Street, he couldn't believe it He started salivating when he saw it, but stayed back enough to put a great swing on it JD Davis the next to bat and as you take a look at the splits here He's actually better against right-handed pitching this season first pitch of the at bat Grounded back up the middle the may use got it and the off-balance throw beats him at first and that's a tough play And this is not an easy play where you have to range to your right He really didn't have a chance to get his feet set. So this is all arm nicely done Here's the catcher Wilson Ramos his career line against Garrett Cole pretty average results four for 15 Two of those hits were for home runs Just able to get a piece of that for strike one. He fouls this one off We're in the second one nothing Mets early on Ball in two strikes now off the curveball that's in the dirt that time and it's back to even now at two and two He went with the awes be there once he got him the 0 and 2 but now that they both missed I think we'll see more of a challenge pitch here You don't have to give in but you can't be too cute either Good fastball swung on and missed per strike three and the inning is over Rough first blood thanks to this solo home run We'll go to the bottom of the second. It's one nothing Mets Stepping into the box Gary Sanchez Really thrives in the batter's box here at home something to keep an eye on in this one First pitch on its way Sent on the ground out to second fielded cleanly throw on to first in time one away The third base Number 29 That'll bring in Giovanni your shell off as he begins this one as the fourth leading hitter in the American League Guy continues to swing a hot bat hit over 300 last month We'll see if he can keep scorching here in this one ready Here's the first offering that fastball was a lively one You could hear the pop of a glove all the way up here. Hey, I bet I'm a little biased There's nothing better than that pop of a glove on a good fastball Looking forward to hearing a lot more of that pop the rest of this one Strike two called on the inner half 0 and 2 now. I get it. He wants to see this guy's repertoire But now he's behind in the count puts himself in a tough spot to hit the wind up and the o2 pitch Oh, and he can't catch up to the fastball as he swings and misses for the second out This is what a power pitcher will do to you if he executes his pitches That was a three pitch strikeout and what the kind of stuff that he has it's not a comment for him to absolutely dominate certain guys and that sends DJ Lemahue into the box as the first pitchers have been high It's ball one they'll try to make something happen with two gone in the bottom of the second is laid off But in there for strike one Lemahue is undoubtedly one of the best hitters in the sport and it doesn't matter right-handed or left-handed pitching He's one of the elite threats with a bat in his hands Grounder down the line at third And that's a fair ball as this one gets by him at third. Well, that's not a bad pitch right there That's a pretty good sinker. He just happens to hook that one right into left field for a base Yeah, he got the bat head out right there Dan I was able to get that one left field to the plate now Mike Tuckman as he'll look at a fastball too high for ball one Hey, I know the tying runs at first right here, but if the pitcher on the mound executes keeps the ball in play I think good things are gonna happen fouled away Lemahue leads off first with a pair of outs in the inning. That's lifted the other way out to left Cespitas is after it He gets there to make the catch and that ends the inning Some of our nation's young minds and future leaders here in attendance Yikes back with more here on a Tuesday night after this Top of the third set to get underway and coming forward the veteran outfielder. You'll in a Cespitas Here comes the first pitch Pretty good pitch right there fastball in off the plate One of the things you want to do as a pitcher try to stand those hitters up ball in a strike That was ugly howdy if you're waving at me Cespitas behind a ball in two strikes You can bet he wants that one back at the plate right now That's a pitch you normally see a guy drive if he has the right approach going the one to Hit in the air toward the gap in right center judges under it One away At the plate Jake Marisnik. Here's the first pitch to him Hold the fastball down a little too much there. That's ball one One app nobody on and a strike to even the count one and one into the corner and slicing foul The one two is laid off for ball two good patience to hold back on the curve ball in the dirt It's full now three and two It's a fine line from working down in the zone on two and two and bouncing one in there that basically stands No chance at getting swung at right there He basically spiked that one right into the dirt and now he has to find the zone on a three-two pitch Now a swing and a miss here as he's down on strikes So it's two up two down to begin the third Well, this lineup obviously doesn't get to see this guy very often because he's over in the other league And it's really showing he's pitching really well right now, and I'm sure these hitters are plenty happy They don't have to face him multiple times this year and that will bring in the former top prospect on Ed Rosario One ball no strikes to count swing and a miss. That's the first strike That was some smoke right there high fire right on by headed a deal. Here's the one one Bases are empty here with two men out Changeup gets him out in front for strike two that would never threaten the zone. It's gone full now to three and two Now the payoff pitch home a bouncer up the middle Torres brings it in and the throw is wide as it pulls the first baseman off the bag So frustrating hero you make a good pitch and you get these guys that can run around in their bass You think you have an out all of a sudden it turns into an infield single Yeah, this is definitely part of his game the ground attack Dan. He's a speedster He's gonna get a ton of infield singles and he knows how frustrated that pitcher is Robinson cano is in with two away as he takes a ball one and oh a runner on first with two away And he misses again to cano it's two and oh now cano is in don't you know a part of his New York Nickname days. This is the first year of his new four-year contract pulls delivery to oh Skied into straight away right judges under it But with this one and the inning is over met strand one, but they're on top one to nothing Coming to the plate now And as you can see he's had some troubles here in his own ballpark That's something he'll look to improve upon in this one first pitch of the at-bat This one's outside quite a bit off the plate that time Pretty well struck high and deep to left field Cessbut is going back to the track on the warning track. He makes the catch So it's back to the top of the order now and up next the left-handed hitting Brett Gardner First delivery to him on the way. Oh, he just blows the fastball by him for strike one When the pitcher on the mound is established in this kind of heater You've got to come off everything else and find a way to get that bad head in the zone Lays off the sinker here of all in a strike. This is swung on and bounced to McNeil at second And quickly there are two away So bases are empty here with two gone and that'll bring up the former American League rookie of the year big Aaron judge He's ready. Here's the first offering Sink it runs outside to start the at-bat one and oh Two out nobody on a ball in a strike two outs nobody on but a base runner here Feels like he would really change the complexion of the inning big spot right here middle of the order guys coming up Let's see if he can extend the inning One and two now is that one's fouled off. They'll try to get him fishing there But he won't offer in the dirt and it's back to even at two and two Here's a weakly hit fly ball off to the left side and that'll get down for a base hit So they'll get a two-out base runner here as we check out the list of the best hitting teams roughly midway through the season And we find these guys are currently third best in the AL in that department the striding forward now Torres he gets a shot to hit here in the inning following the two outs single Yeah, and that hit might not amount to much But anytime you could extend it in and give a guy with plenty of pop a chance to swing it The outlook of it any changes dramatically first pitch coming here it is And he throws the fastball by him here 0-1 This is why pitching is so difficult. You're cruising along to give up a hit Now you've got the lock in and get this middle part of the order done to out with the man at first Pitch taken several inches below the zone in fact and the sliders in the dirt as he lays off it for a ball Get hard to the right side Foul here now the 2-2 doesn't get the zone count full now 3-2 2-out runner-on-first Lots of possible outcomes on this pitch. Good job to spoil that one away, and he stays alive Seventh pitch of the at-back coming up high fly ball headed for the left field corner if it stays fair It's gone and it's a foul ball Open to send him packing pitch on its way Had to sit back on the change-up and he did a good job to get the bat on that one. It's fouled away 3-2 Too close for comfort and he did a good job just to make contact X 3 2 Hit hard towards center and that's in there base hit the tag and they'll get him in second and with that the side is retired One left for the Yankees. They trail this one one to nothing Welcome back to the Bronx as we check in with Heidi Matt during the break I caught up with the Mets manager to discuss his thoughts on his club's offense so far and Overall, he's really happy with the app. That's they're putting together. Yes They've only scored one run, but he said they've done a great job of forcing the pitch count up And he thinks that's gonna lead to more offense for them as this game goes on Okay, thank you Heidi all set for the start of the fourth and that'll bring in Jeff McNeil Number two, here's the first pitch to him the wind up and the 01 And that's lifted the other way out to left for Shella onto the grass He gets there to make the play for the first out of the inning Now it'll be the four-hole hitter key to Lonzo He's over one after grounding out in his only trip to the plate so far ready to deliver. Here's the first pitch One oh one run two hits one error in the game for the Mets thus far Slider and laid off for a ball Skied into straight away right heading after his judge He makes the play really had to hustle to get to that one to gone now Stepping in Michael Conforto Got a hold of one and went yard in his first appearance in this one And that's been the entire offense so far in this one They've been shut down other than that on the third base line and this will stay inside the third base bag a fair ball In the second with a two out double Well, he was definitely struggling coming into this one But I think we can say that cold streak is officially over That's his second hit of the game and it goes for extra bases We'll see now if this game proves to be a huge turning point for him play now JD Davis And so watch one missed down an in for a ball one and all runner in scoring position with two gone Ready with the one oh turned on that one and crushed it just pulled it a little foul Man the batter's eyes lit up right there a hanger just a little bit out in front couldn't keep it there one two pitch Slider freezes him at the plate a called third strike in the inning comes to a close Danger averted following the two out double don't go anywhere more Tuesday night baseball after this Digging in is the veteran DH John Crello Stanton It's coming here it is you have to find a way to lay off that low sinker There is just no way to do any damage You're just looking at either a bruise shin or ground out to the left side to and to the count And oh strike three called as he gets a little help there one away Well, no preferential treatment there sometimes we see great hitters have their calls go their way on close pitches But not this time. I think that was actually a good take but on two strikes anything that close can go either way So the bases are empty with one man gone and the next to bat the Dominican born catcher Gary Sanchez Ready to deliver here's the first pitch You'll start him here with a change-up, but it's taken for ball one this year against right-handed pitching Sanchez carries a batting line little over the 260 mark up around the letters with that one for ball two So far on the year Sanchez begins play with the slugging percentage north of 525 Certainly a line he can take pride in Heading out towards shallow right Conforto will come in a bit and put it away for the second out of the inning now that number 29 Stepping in Geo or Shella. He looked to bounce back after striking out his last time up Yeah, and he didn't put up much of a fight either Matty got to find a way can't go down three pitches I don't care if you're staring at him or swinging at him You have to find a way to make this picture work a little bit harder That's a pitch he'd like to have back. You're not going to see very many pitches like that from a picture of this quality I'm sure he'd like to have that one back to take a swing at it Good opposite field power here taken high and deep to right Here to straight away right field six home run on the season for him and the Yankees have drawn even now at one a piece When you're facing an elite starter You know runs are going to be at a premium. I don't know if this shakes to starters confidence, but you know what it does It certainly boosts the confidence of the guys in your line Here's the second baseman DJ LeMay here This he'll take a look at a sinker here too low for bowl one One for one after a single this first time up in deep down the left field line And this is going to get down. It's a foul ball off again and now he's in a one and two hole One run four hits and no errors for the Yankees so far Out in front there is this one's pulled off to the left side. We'll try again one, two 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 And he takes ball three. So it's a full count now That was a great batter right there. He tried to get him to chase, but he laid off some really tough pitches and got a walk Got a tip the cap to the batter that time Plate Mike Tuckman so far 0 for 1 with a flyout First pitch of the at bat on its way And a high strike there 0 and 1 Don't expect too many more high fastballs in this one He is known for his sinker keeping the ball on the ground And that misses downstairs for a ball one and one Runner on first with two away Runs away for ball two two and one from the belt the pitch Two and two Now the two two is a wave and a miss he struck him out But the Yankees are able to tie things up on the sold-off home run We played four all even at one apiece Picking in to try it again Wilson Ramos was a strikeout victim in his first try Yeah and kind of shocked he got blown away with a fastball You could tell he was laid on that one and we'll see if he tries to cheat to something this a big Slider and that's hit on the ground towards second loved by Lame here And the fifth inning will start with the ground out one away Now that So with one away now a chance for the left fielder to bat with the bases empty here's your in his cesspit is ready with the first pitch here it comes And that misses for ball one Cessped is commonly known as La Potencia around baseball His contract is set to expire at the end of this season So he may end up hitting the market this winter You know Maddie I know he's in the first half of the season But he's playing to expectations to be honest with you I know he wants to turn it up a little bit though As he approaches the end of the season and make that salary push as he heads towards free agency again From the wind up the 1-1 pitch 2-1 I don't blame him for not coming over the heart of the plate He circled this guy on the line-up card when he got to the yard today He's been swinging one of the higher-ups 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 Now the 2-1 Grounded down the third baseline But this will wind up a foul ball 2-2 This is swung on and missed so it's 2-2 down to start the fifth Talk about blown it by a guy Geez I mean that fastball was way behind him When the swing came through the zone I have to think he was looking for something off speed And he just couldn't pull the trigger on that fastball Here's Jake Marisnik As he lays off a fastball too low for ball one Looking to put the ball in play here He went down on strikes in his first at bat Here's a pitch swung on and missed 1-2 now Bases are empty here with two men out Grounder down the line at third But this is a foul ball as the count holds steady at 1-2 Counts even a 2-2 to Marisnik 2-2 one more time Yanked on the ground down the line But a foul ball as it holds it 2-2 Looking to punch him out again the pitch On the eighth pitch of the at bat Is the one that finally does it as he wears him down And the inning is over Down in order go the Mets Halfway home all even at 1 apiece Welcome back for the bottom of the fifth Here's Heidi Watney Thanks Matt I talked with Yankees manager Aaron Boone During the break about the team's offensive performance so far And he was pretty blunt in saying They're just not having very good at bats He said they're having a really hard time Squaring up off-speed pitches right now Which is making it easy on the opposing pitching To keep them off balance Until they prove they can hit anything other than fastballs He thinks they're going to keep getting a steady Diet of pitches with movement and deception Thank you Heidi Digging in They'll start things out against Noah Sendegard As this inning is underway First pitch on its way The 1-0 Is swung on and missed in that strike one Two balls in a strike to the Yankees first baseman You know what I'm seeing here Is a reluctance to throw the fastball It's like he feels he can't throw the ball Right by him right now The 2-1 Waves and misses for strike number two Sinkered 3 and 2 now You know he's probably cheating on that inside pitch After he got jammed earlier If you're on the mound right now You want to try to hit that outside corner And there's a pretty good chance You'll get him to roll over something Hit in the air to straight away center Mariznik is under it And he hauls it in for the first out of the inning So the batting order turns over now And set to go Brett Gardner He was a ground out victim last time up First offering on its way Fastball taken but that gets the zone for a strike Quite an interesting outing up to this point As we head into the middle innings He's pitching quite well But you look at his first pitch strike percentage Less than 40% That's going to be something he's going to need to clean up Moving forward He fouls this one off Bases are empty one man out That misses and we're even at 2-2 This is pulled into right Conforto Back in plenty of time to put this away however And there are two gone He got that one pretty good It just didn't have the right launch angle To carry over the outfielder's head Small difference where the ball hit the bat Could have made all the difference Here's Big Aaron Judd And he's the reigning American League player of the month The first pitch to him And he lays off there 1-0 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 The 1-0 finds the zone strike one And it's a ball and two strikes now to Aaron Judd There's a pitch we haven't seen in a while It's going to be tough on the hitters if they have to Incorporate that into their mindset Got him on the good slider there Swung on and missed as he's down on strikes For the second time tonight 1-2-3 go to Bombers We played five full tied at one aside After the sixth the bat to get started And up next will be the shortstop Ahmed Rosario First pitch of the at bat on its way He tries to hold back on the swing But I think it would have been ruled a strike anyway It's nothing in one Hit on the ground the third But oh well get him at first as he is robbed On a magnificent play there So a fine play down there at the hot corner To take a base hit away And that would appear to be a good segue To check out the league leaderboard for team fielding percentage That these guys are currently second in the AL in that department Robinson Cano the next to dig in It was a fly out for him in his last trip Awaits on the first pitch Line drive to left And that's into the outfield for a one out hit And this one bounds around against the wall And he's in there easily at second With a one out double Everyone knows that this guy's numbers are not What he wants him to be so far this year But you never know by that swing He looks fluid and confident Driving that pitch for a double We'll see if that gets him going a bit So here's Jeff McNeil As the first pitch to him is off the plate For a ball one or no He's 0 for two in the ballgame so far The strikes here it is All two Well this is a spot you'd like to be in 2-0 good hitter He's going to turn it loose right here But swing just got to try and straighten that one out Hold toward right center field Gardner the range to his left And put it away 2-0 Runner at second 2-0 now And up steps the power bat of Hedelanzo Pitch coming here it is That's in there And he's deep in the hole now 0-2 Hey with first base open Pitcher's definitely going to nibble And try and see if the hitter expands his own Go after one below the knees But it's one and two Pitcher now even at four apiece There's a breaking ball But it doesn't quite find the strike zone What pitch recognition right there 90% of the guys are going fishing After that nasty slider He's set the 2-2 Off a pitch off the plate and high 3-2 Michael Conforto would be next Pay off pitch Into center field line drive base hit Cano isn't stopping Here he comes to the plate And he's safe at the plate Take the lead And there's a good job of battling Right there D-roll Pitcher having advantage with two outs Two strikes You're one pitch away And boy what a terrific piece of hitting Right there Yeah that's a great job right there Some guys are not afraid to hit With two strikes They'll take that pitcher deep In the count Feeling comfortable about it That's the type of hitter this guy is And he was able to come through Stepping in now Michael Conforto And he'll take a look at ball one Two hits in two trips For him thus far 1-0 pitch And he watches one miss outside 2-0 now This is well struck High and deep toward the left field corner And that'll get down out there near the wall So now they'll have two men in scoring position Following the two out double Now that hurt And now time is called here as their pitching coach Is going to pay a quick visit to the mound To discuss how they want to attack things here First base open it looks as though They'll go after the next guy And base now in order and two men gone Here comes the Yankee skipper on his way to the mound And it appears that we've seen the last here In this one of Garrett Cole He'll depart after five and two thirds As it'll be up to the bullpen to keep his guys In the ballgame Luis Cesar answers the call to pitch here In a big spot He inherits a bases loaded jam But needs just one out to get out of it Wilson Ramos will be the first one To get the freedom and abandon a big spot here Bases loaded and two out in the inning Looking to keep this one run game the pitch Now here's one hit in the air to the right side And nope this one falls so he'll get another shot He's sent the 0-1 That misses one ball and one strike here To the Mets backstop It's moments like this as a pitcher When you feel the whole world is against you You're already in hot water with the bases loaded So it doesn't make life any easier When you're not getting calls that you think you should Now a ball swung on and heading for the stands in right And that'll move the count to one and two now But not being as bad as it could have been As they'll scran the bases loaded This side is retired So one run on three hits No errors and three left Part of the order three four and five coming up Mets out in front two to one The sixth inning now and that'll bring up The exciting middle infieldered Labor Touran That's hooked up Right behind the zone it's ball one He's looked after ball number two Maybe a bit of an overthrow there guys May have let that frontside open up a little early To try to hump up on a fastball And sailed on it Liner in there for a base hit Hold on at first following the single to right Make it two hits for him here this evening As he tax onto his total currently third best On the Yankee Ball Club And Carlos Stanton now As the first pitch to him is in there For a called strike one He's hitless in his two at bats so far Giancarlo swings and this ball is hit well Into left field Who goes to Carlos Stanton And that is 27 for him on the year As the Yankees move out in front here It's now three to two 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 In the back like that in the league Play Gary Sanchez And he'll take a look at a high strike that time It's nothing in one Oh for two from him so far in this one Here's a chopper to first First for the out three unassisted Now batter Number 29 Into the box now Giorg Cella comes in one for two With that home run he hit earlier Yeah man that last one wasn't Exactly a tape measure shot A home run is a home run I know a lot of pitchers They call that a wall scraper In this last A-B but listen It counts as a home run nonetheless Conforto is right there As he takes it for the second out Two away now in the Yankees sixth And that'll bring up DJ LeMayhew First pitch coming here it is This guy's got an 89 mile an hour changeup There was a time when 89 was a pretty good fastball Lined to the left side But foul Softly hit out to short Proanda first gets him and the side is retired Yankees get a couple on the two run home run Eight nine and top of the order Coming up to start the seventh And New York has taken a three to two lead Off the inning Yoannis Cespidis As they'll look to get something going here And even this game up You don't matter Every team has that one guy And Yoannis Cespidis is that guy for the Mets Completely changes that complexion Of that Mets betting word Oh and won the count This is it high in the air out toward left center Gardner is there One down Stepping into the box Jake Mariznik He comes in 0 for two thus far He's ready Here's the first offering Ball hit high and foul Down the left field line It's strike one Very tight ball game Three to two our score And inning number seven Outside at ninety four One ball and one strike The one and one delivery Now a swing and a miss At a slider for a strike Maybe trying to back him up a bit there With the fastball Even though this guy's a righty hitter He's going to get pounded with that two seamer He needs to make sure he catches this thing Out front If he sees that pitch again Got him And he goes down on strikes For the third time It's been a rough night at the yard For him That's three times he's gone down on strikes In this one So they've really figured out How to attack this guy Amed Rosario As he rips it on the ground a second LeMay Hughes got it Rowan DeVoy takes care of him And the inning is over Mets go down one two three They trail three to two Justin Wilson gets the call From the pen to take over on the mound And start the home seventh Yup there you go Beautiful Half of the seventh here And that'll bring up the outfielder Mike Tuckman The left fielder First pitch of the at-bat The 1-0 Swing and a liner Fowl Wilson has seen his role change With those one better lefty specialists Going the way of the dodo Is a part of MLB's pace of play initiatives Now here it comes Weighing inside with that one A pretty easy take there Well this is the matchup they wanted Bringing in the reliever But falling behind 2-0 Doesn't exactly help the situation Very much Set Here's the 3-1 Good bite to that slider As he swings through it For the first out of the inning Classic slider down and away For the strike out there Not a whole lot to say about that pitch It hasn't been said a million times already That's just a real tough pitch For a hitter to pick up Out of a pitcher's hand So they end up chasing When they're in protect mode Now Luke Voight And she'll take a look at a slider here That misses for ball one Oh for two for him to this point His offered added missed for the first strike And it looks now like a right hander's Begun to get loose in the Mets bullpen One out nobody on Oh they have him looking awfully Confused up there right now It's one and two Real ugly 0-1 swing there As a pitcher You've got to be hunting for the strike out Knowing you have this guy way off balance And he strikes him out as well So make it back to back punch Out here to the first two men He faces out of the bullpen No problems for him on the mound Since he's come out of the pen to start this inning That's back to back case and He's making it look pretty easy This has the makings of a good outing so far Here's Brett Gartner now As he will look at a first pitch Fastball for ball one He could really use a knock here Oh for three in the game so far He pulls this one into right And that ball gets down out near the wall And should be extra bases Not in time and he's in there with a double That was a great job of driving that ball Extending his arms very well Was able to get it over the right fielder's head One hopping it off the wall for an easy double That's one of those solid hits that You don't even feel coming off the bat Play Aaron Judge as he looks at a fastball That's in there for strike one Working on a one for three thus far Conset the 0-1 Boy this is one of those A-B's You like to hit the rewind button on Put himself in a tough spot now Hitting with two strikes 0-2 here it is Bouncer to the left side And nothing will come of the two out double As the inning is over Yanks leave one They're up three to two Chad Green has been summoned from the bullpen As he'll do so to start the eighth Number fifty seven New winning Shaq to get underway And striding forward the designated hitter Robinson Canone This thing's far from over Even though we're moving into the back end of this game Only down by one All they need to do is get this leadoff guy And they're an extra base hit away from tying this thing up Ready with the first pitch here it comes Starts to get loose out there Swing and a liner And this is a fair ball as it'll head for the 3-14 sign He's safe He went with the slider but the hitter wasn't fooled for a second Gets to barrel the bat through the zone And rips it down the line For a leadoff double Another shot now Jeff McNeil Been a rough go at things at the plateform so far But his guys were looking for him to change that right here Yeah nothing better than coming through for the boys In a tight game at Especially when you're kind of due to do something productive Set here it comes Foul tip into the catcher's glove at strike one This has to be a productive f-at right here I know you want to drive the run in and get the RBI But you have to find a way Bare minimum to move this runner over the third Outside for a hole one and one At one two balls and a strike You're playing close games like this Base runners mean everything so He can ill afford to start giving away free passes And it's up to a three two full count now It's funny that pitch I can picture being in the box that pitch looks so good to hit And why does no one ever get to it A good executed high fastball Usually blows nine out of ten guys away And he takes strike three cold on the fastball One gone So stepping in He the Lonzo As he'll look to bring home that time run from second With a base hit into the outfield First pitch of the at bat on its way And this ball is popped up Drifting back behind the mound Green will have plenty of room as he makes the catch And there's a big outnumber two Now at the plate Michael Conforto And it looks like this could be a critical at bat in this one Well a glance at my score book shows them Been able to get him out yet So this could be a fun at bat to watch He'd here's the delivery And here's a fastball called for strike one Come set the 0 1 Not close with that when it's way above the strike zone That was a tempting pitch to swing at right there A big power guy like this Really wants something that he can elevate And drive out of the ballpark And a fastball in the dirt that's taken for a ball This is hit hard but foul toward the third base dugout This one everything we could have hoped for Three to two in inning number eight Right side a dive and he knocks it down But they'll still manage to get the out on the force And with that fine play the inning comes to an end So no runs here on a base hit No errors in one man left to board Home half of the eighth straight ahead It's the Yankees three and the Metz two Paul Seawall is on to pitch out of a bullpen In the bottom half of the eighth He once again Taurus he singled his last time up Seawall 28 years old he was taken in the tenth round During the first year player draft of 2012 I know this guy wouldn't go into the category of superstar But to grind out the career he has Being drafted where he was my hats off to him Could have been three and one Instead it's two and two Hey I'd like to see a little bit more discipline in that You get to count your favorite he's swinging a pitch that bad Not good Neither guy willing to give in and the at-battle continue Popped him up to play in foul territory for the first out Next for New York Giancarlo Stanton He's got a hidden three at bats to this point First offering on its way Action in the bullpen now as a right-hander begins to throw out there I'm absolutely shocked he took that pitch right there Right in the wheelhouse low 90's heater That's one you gotta let go on And did he go around? No he did not ball too They say the toughest pitching baseball is the located fastball I disagree that nasty slider is tough to hold up on And this is on the inside edge Perhaps off the inside edge But it's a called strike two and two now Hits are even at seven apiece Three balls and two strikes to the Yankees DH Pay off pitch home Struck him out That strikeout was a real good example of a pitcher Continuing to make a guy chase out of the zone When you recognize a hitter is in protect mode You don't have to come inside the strike zone You could just expand further and further Until he literally can't touch it Into the box now Gary Sanchez As he'll watch a slider that runs out of the strike zone away For ball one He's hitless in three at bats to this point But at that point either it's two and oh Like to see him be looking to the opposite field With this next swing Pitcher's trying to work you away Three and oh now Well he was definitely looking fastball here And he got one But that was good discipline to lay off And get himself into a three oh count And this one misses for ball four And the Yankees get a base runner here with two away And with the bases empty You don't feel bad about walking that guy He's capable of taking deep every time he digs in So it's not the worst thing in the world To work around him if you can Ready for another chance? Giorg Shella Remember I'm sure he does He hit a round tripper back in the fourth From the stretch Up and in there with the first pitch Fastball it's ball one Now a ball and a strike Set here comes the one one And that gets the black on the outside A good slider that time Hey it looks like this guy's going to work In the upper part of the strike zone It'll be interesting to see if this lineup Can adjust to the way he benches The one two He's gone and misty got him One left for the Yankees And it remains a three two ball game The oldest Chapman Comes out of the bullpen to shut things down Here in the ninth And J.D. Davis He's over two in the ball game so far Here's the first pitch Right field Judges under it Calls it in for the first out of the inning Leadoff man gone to start the top of the ninth As we take a look at league saves Leaders entering play And as you can see there he's currently in fifth place In that department in the A.L. Race Stepping up to the plate Wilson Ramos He got called out on strikes his last time through Yeah Matty and hopefully he got it out of his system Especially now he's got a bear down He gets the two strikes in this spot Has to put the ball in play No balls in one strike Here in the top of the ninth Chapman And the missile for obvious reasons He's in year one of a new three year deal He oh and two Since two and two Struck him out Struck him out again I should say his third punch out of the game That was a nasty looking slider that time Yeah that was really well executed Matt A classic strikeout pitch You think it's fastball middle in Then it starts bearing in on your back leg And unless you hit it out front There's nothing much you can do with that You want assessment of striding in next This he'll take a look at a slider That can't make it back to the corner It's ball one Who could really use a knock here O for three in the game so far This is two and oh 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 the pitch And just go ahead and challenge him And here's a pitch in the dirt And he's in danger of losing him here Three and oh now Time to narrow your focus up there At the plate in a one run game He doesn't want to walk you So there's a good chance he's going to get Something to handle right here Two out nobody on And this is swung on and missed So now they find themselves down to their Final strike tonight Swing and a miss he struck him out And that'll do it here is the You can just see that the confidence Is radiating off of them out there right now That's six wins in a row And this looks like a train that's Not about to slow down anytime soon Three to two the finish in tonight's game So the Bronx bombers wrote an important Sixth inning to victory in this one Louis Sessa gets the win in relief His sixth of the season Aroldis Chapman records the save His 24th on the season So that just about does it for Mark DeRosa Dan Plisac, Heidi Watney And our entire crew on Matt Vaskers And you've been watching MLB The Show For more make your way over to TheShowNation.com Here's a victorious Yankees Three runs on seven hits, nowhere
