 Afternoon baseball here on the show today we've got a good match up ahead between the New York Yankees and the Baltimore Orioles. It's baseball. It's the show and it comes your way next. Alex Cobb gets the ball for the Orioles in this one. What do you have for us on him Danny. Hey every team needs a picture like this one here his numbers aren't going to blow you away career ERA just under four but one thing he does he takes the ball every five days throw strikes and gives his team a chance to win every single time he goes out there he'll be fun to watch in this one here today into the box now Brett Gardner and we are ready for some daytime baseball Brett Gardner first delivery to him on the way fastball taken but that gets the zone for a strike for big four o'clock down the first baseline but that'll get foul it's 0 and 2 now and he gets him to pop it up on the right side of the infield and there's out number one so the bases are empty with one man gone and that'll bring in DJ Lemay here comes the first pitch sixty five degrees our temperature here at first pitch and he's really getting the better of him now it's strike two time for a look at our umpires in this one behind the plate is Ed Drummond. Yeah Matty we got a good one behind the dish today and Ed Drummond well liked by all people pitchers batters managers all you want as a player is the ability to talk to someone and that's what Ed does he gives you that chance zero you hit a nail right on the head he has a real long fuse he's not afraid to let a hitter or pitcher I'm not saying complain about a particular pitch but he's not the guy that's going to get mad and throw somebody and give him the boot just because the guy doesn't like a pitch or pitcher thinks that a pitch is a strike and they call it a ball here's big Aaron judge he swings and rounds at the short and that's through for a hit around first digging for two that important so a struggle that time for him in center field as a result he'll be tagged with the eight on the play Giancarlo Stanton now as he takes a fastball off the plate for a ball one and one and all opportunity for him here to pick up that runner from second with two away two balls and no strikes the count to Stanton no reason to give into him here with a base open putting him on base just gives your defense more ways to help get you out of this three and oh now you would think in this situation maybe with a base open he just pitch around them and put him on first but not with the guy in the on deck circle he's going to attack this hitter three balls no strikes line that's a base hit judge rounds the corner and is headed home and the run will score as the Yankees grab the early one nothing lead Dan as a former infielder I apologize for him nothing's more frustrating or upset you more as a defender than making an error and seeing that guy come around the score you know what and that's one of those cases as a pitcher Dero there's not much you can do listen there are physical and there are mental errors and you just have to as a pitcher go ahead and look past that now and try to pick up your teammate and try to get it out any way you can and a high strike to begin the at bat it's 0 and 1 kicks and deals on the ground to the left side beautiful diving stop hey now a run on two hits for the Yankees will move on to the bottom half of ending number one the Yankees lead this one one to nothing Masahiro Tanaka is ready to go as she'll be on the mound for the Yankees then please act what's the word on him Tanaka right now is the best of all of their starting pitchers good fastball 92 to 94 best pitch is the split finger he'll throw it early he'll throw it often if he has the good split these hitters are in for a long night and digging into the beating box will be hands are Alberto it let the things off here in the bottom half of the first Alberto here's a slider to start things out looked at for ball one ball that's about off the radar screen there it's 2 and 0 2 balls and a strike to the Orioles leadoff hitter lofted in the air out toward right center judges under it looks it into his glove and there's one gone batting second the right field man he needs and here's the big right handed forward threat Tre Mancini first pitch of the at bat on its way one out nobody on now a good pitch on the inside part of the plate ties him up and it's one and one well that's a jam shot right there that's as good as it gets in my opinion up it in grounder down the line at third but a foul ball one and two now yeah you could tell he was ready for another fastball but the pitcher went to breaking ball and the hitter fouls that one off swinging a ball line hard towards short but right at the shortstop for the second out the left fielder Anthony Anthony Santander will swing it from the left side right here infield in the over shift here now the pitch faces are empty here with two men out a ball and a strike now two balls on a strike hasn't seen a heater yet and he said that one might be coming right here the two one home and a good job there to lay off its ball for as he becomes their first base runner of the ball game now with two away that was a great battle right there he tried to get him to chase but he laid off some really tough pitches and got a lot got to tip the cap to the batter that time so it's a runner at first with two gone and digging in next at the plate will be run out on Nunez from the stretch ball this is where you got to take stock in the situation adjust your batting gloves and realize you need a gapper to score this guy from first if nothing less pass the baton to the guy behind you and keep the line moving now the 1 0 count now a ball and a strike he's set here comes the 1 1 well I think that pitch is the result of a lot of foul balls he might have tried to do a little bit too much with it trying to get him to swing through it but it just ended up taking the ball off on him to out with the man at first full count to the Orioles designated hitter well this has been a good at that he's now worked to count full the three and two it allows the runner on first to be on the move with two away another full count offering on its way this is it high in the air out toward left center Tuckman is under it and he makes the catch for out number three Orioles leave one it remains nothing Gary Sanchez off the catcher Gary here's the first pitch to him on its way the 0 1 pitch 1 1 on the run this one in on him and he can't connect so he finds himself down 1 and 2 now this pitchers bring it with some high Velo you better get that front foot down early and get ready or he's going to throw it right by a glaciers is there for the first to be in the game and there's one gone here to start the second Patty Patty the left you with Mike talk now to the plate Mike talkman you'll get to take his first cuts here and the pitch now here's the pitch gets the fastball by him here and he's in control 0 and 2 bases are empty one man not close with that when it's way above the strikes on he wasn't even swinging right there that was a stone cold take a swing and a missy struck him out and it's two up two down to start the second man I love watching a pitcher that just rears back and blows smoke by a guy at the letters that's the ultimate challenge pitch and for me personally watching hitters swing and miss man that's a sight of beauty and in Giovanni your shell off as he rips it on the ground a second and he can't pick it up cleanly throw on to Davis takes care of him and that'll end the inning 1 2 3 go the bombers who played an inning and a half it's one to nothing leading off the inning Chris Davis meeting on and they'll need him to get something going here the first baseman in field shifted well to the right here's the first pitch lifted the other way down the left field line left fielder is on the move but he won't get to it and this should put a man in scoring position to start the game and the Orioles are in business here it's a lead off double but it left that I thought it might score but it hugged the line and found its way in the corner might be a little bit closer play at second but he cruised in there with relative ease Austin Hayes the next to bat as he'll look to bring home that tying run from second with the base hidden to the outfield looking for productive at that here get that runner from second over to third now a swing and the barrel of the bat breaks into that time and that's the first down batting that the third day plan Rio so stepping in Rio Ruiz as he's got a chance to tie this ballgame up with that equalizing run just 90 feet away at third first pitch of the at bat on its way Yankees leave this one to nothing here in inning number two two balls in those strikes great situation and he'll be up at the plate right now but if you're on the mound there is absolutely no reason to give in to him stay on the outer quadrants of the plate and don't get beat in the middle and low and the plot thickens here three and oh Jose Iglesias the number eight hitter here waits on deck 3 0 pitch turns the zone strike one and he misses here for ball for already two walks surrendered in his first couple of innings of work well this is going to be an issue for him as this start continues here's the shortstop now Jose Iglesias and he's got runners at the corners here with only one gun he did the liver here's the first pitch runners are at the corners with one man out and this is taken it's a ball and a strike now to the ball for more shortstop a ball and two strikes to the Orioles shortstop big pitch coming up right here and that's already two walks here in the early going you'll see if this big pitch coming up right here he'd love for a ground ball or a strikeout the one to too much bite on the breaking ball that time as it's well off the outside this is a fun guy to watch when he's up there really battles doesn't take any pitches all he's a grinder always seems to make it difficult on the opposing pitcher and a line that's a base hit and the runners score from third is that ties things at one he was able to start on that first slider right here but he didn't let the second one go and that'll bring up the catcher chance Cisco as he'll swing and lift a fly ball to right center judge is over to his right as he puts this one away two down stepping into the box like a burto to all over the place to on to out and of course here in inning number two first pitch of the at back low for ball one feel for a base hit now a long throw not in time as he's across with the run now batter and now time will be called here to see the pitching coach make his way after the man to pay a quick visit. So here's Trayman Cini as he lines it hard to the right side but out of play over one here in the early going one offering two down runners at first and second a slider bounces and that gets away and he's going to make it up the third here as he advances on the wild pitch three balls and two strikes to Mancini now a strike away now from getting out of this mess sometime pitching is all about minimizing right so keeping it to two runs across in the inning would be huge here's the two and two got him swinging on the splitter that time and with that the side is retired the sights and sounds of a day at the ballpark. Oh my goodness more baseball on the show right after this King in now look boy and he'll start out there half of the third top of the order to follow the boy first delivery to him on the way pitcher wants to have a quick inning right here capitalize on the momentum his batters have here it comes one or no grounded back up the middle throw to first in time and the lead off man is gone to start the third back to the top of the order now right up next the left handed hitting Brett Gardner first pitch of the at bat on its way a two to one score here as we play inning number three and that misses downstairs for a ball one and one hey that backdoor breaking ball just missed he had a chance to run it to O2 two balls in a strike now to the Yankees lead off man after those two breaking balls in this you have to be sitting on a fastball right here heading out towards shallow right Mancini moving back and a great diving effort there but it'll just tip off his glove and it's a base hit not in time and he's in there with a double up next for the Yankees and that sends DJ Lamehy into the box lifted down the line in left and that will end up a foul looking to put the ball in play here he went down on strikes in his first at bat not cheated on that swing but the splitters by him 0 and 2 swing and he pops him up Iglesias over to his right and he brings it in for the second out of the inning coming to the plate now Aaron judge Aaron comes set here's the nothing nothing pitch now a fastball a bit too low here it's ball one now a check swing here but the whole game and now the player says he went around and no argument and it's one and one as a look now the pitch and that's a fair ball line to the right side and now it'll kick around in the corner he pulls into second safely as a run comes across to score on the play tying the ball game so much of this game is situational hitting guys nice job there yeah you've got to find a way to pick your teammates up when you're in the middle of the game and he's not too much right here he just takes what's there safely on second and his buddy is high-fiving teammates in the dugout and digging into the batter's box next will be Giancarlo Stanton strike one to start the at bat two out here in a runner at second the plate one ball one strike close but just off the outside corner and he misses again ball three this is spot you like to be in as a good player you're leveraging your favor three balls and two strikes to the Yankees D age you know he wants to end this inning right here on three and two but I don't think we'll see him lay one in on the next pitch there with a base open to work with runner in scoring position at second with two down and that misses ball for so it's first and second now with two out now batter the second base labor and that'll bring up labor torres two on the fourth and here in the third hoping to limit the damage here's the pitch and a fastball close but ultimately ruled a ball one and lays off again and it's two and oh great chance right here as a hitter to be really aggressive with two guys already on pretty good shot he's going to get a challenge pitch right here I in deep down the left field line and this will not be caught it's a foul ball two and one here it is a swing shot hit down the corner and nearly a three run shot instead it's a foul ball he set the two to loft it in the air out toward right center Mancini makes the catch for out number three Yankee strike for a run on the RBI double bottom of the third coming up and we're deadlocked now at two apiece Anthony Santander the next catch for the Orioles the left field and today Dan and ready with the first pitch here it comes fastball that gets the inside corner strike one right side defense of mine perfectly and he's retired here one away now that the deputy here's Renato Nunez over one for him here in this one yeah first shot it's way all that hit him let's hope he's okay thankfully he's able to recover and he gets the second out at first well this is certainly something you never want to see perhaps the silver lining here if there is one is that that got him in the non throwing arm so if he had to work his way through this he probably could assuming of course that there's nothing broken in there and I think he is indeed planning to give it another go striding in Chris Davis he'll try to follow up the double in his last at bat with another big hit right here yeah he jumped all over that first pitch last time up interested to see if he has the same approach this a b and here's a fastball called for strike one as anticipated here's a ground ball now to the right side throw on the vortex carry them and the ending is over one two three go the first one to the left and after three it remains a two two tie start of the fourth upcoming but first Heidi Wattney standing by with a report thanks Matt I talked with the Yankees manager Aaron Boone during the break about the team's offensive performance so far and flat out he was very pleased with the quality of their at bats it's still pretty early in the game but they've seen a lot of pitches already and he thinks the two runs they've pushed across so far is just the beginning given the quality of the at bat thank you Heidi striding in once again Gary Sanchez he's over one thus far Gary first pitch of the at bat on its way 1 0 1 0 that one's going to find the seats strike one and able to lay off the fastball the way here 2 and 1 now all even now 2 and 2 halfway to 100 pitches here it is look like he tried to elevate a fastball in that 2 2 pitch there but kind of over did it with a pitch that high it's pretty easy to lay off if you're the hitter fastball called strike three and there's the first down at the inning well that call looked like it was a little in a pitcher's favor but it wasn't outrageous hey listen you're calling balls and strikes is a really tough job and even the best are going to miss some from time to time especially when they're sort of borderline like that last one not sure the hitter would want to hear that though at the plate there's like talkman ball one to start the ad bat to runs four hits and no errors for the Yankees so far hard on the ground towards short Davis at first and there are two away now that ready for another chance your shell he got on top of one and was a ground down victim last time first delivery to him on the way they love the confidence in that pitch right there going right after one of the better hitters on this team not afraid to execute and that's inside off the plate with the fastball that's one and one into the corner and slicing foul look like he was cheating a heater right there a little bit too far out in front got to find a way to keep his hands back popped up and Davis will put this one away and the inning is over so they go quietly here in this half inning on now to the bottom half of number four and we are tied to two just about set to go for the last of the fourth but before we do that here's Heidi Watney Matt I had a chance to discuss the state of the Orioles offense with their manager between innings and overall he's really happy with the ad bats they're putting together it's still pretty early in the game but they've seen a lot of pitches already and he thinks the two runs they've pushed across so far is just the beginning given the quality of the ad bats they're putting OK thank you Heidi ready to go in the bottom of the fourth now batting Austin Hayes he's over one after grounding out in his only trip to the plate so far here's the first pitch to him and he's way off balance with the swing there 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 into the wind up here comes the oh two pitch on the ground a second for Torres this one over the first in time for the out now batting third baseman digging in real Ruiz he worked the walk and came around to score in his first trip in this game late break to the slider here but he takes it on the hands for ball one and a strike to even the count one and one and the pitch two runs three hits one error thus far for Baltimore on a swing and he popped him up off to the left in foul territory Tanaka with a little do it yourself play and there are two down the batter number 11 now with the plate was a glaciers okay to knock into his motion first pitch on its way bottom part of the zone and the slider is in there for a called strike lays off the sinker here of all in a strike this is hit out to right does he have another one two or three inning he does seven in a row he's set down now with the side is retired three up three down for the Orioles through four were deadlocked it to a piece try it again look boy he's over one after grounding out in his only trip to the plane so far boy first offering on its way and a fastball is off the plate away it's ball one and no looked like ball two below the knees but it's ruled a strike and that evens the counted one and one swing and a miss on the splitter and it's one and two not too many guys taking amount today with this good a split look at the downward action on that thing it's falling off the table to and to the count here comes pulls this one in the air out to left Santander waits on it and that's the first down to the inning so one gone in the inning now and that'll bring in Brett Gardner ready to deliver here's the first pitch watches a fastball right there for strike one started the breaking ball far too inside that time laid off for ball one two and one one out nobody on two balls and two strikes now here now the two two tough curveball that time but he's able to make a little contact to keep this at back going ready with another two to drive base hit to right I got to be honest I'm shocked he went back to this pitch again first one he was on it and fouled it off second one he did not miss the baby first pitch a look to first and he's backstanding here's the second baseman DJ the Mayhew as he will take strike one on the fastball here no balls and a strike liner towards second and that's in for a base hit make it a one for three games so far and that's hitting one on one right there guys the only way you're able to execute that type of base hit on that type of pitch is to recognize it early stay tall stay back and trust the process so two men are on with one man out and that'll bring up the big bat of Aaron Judge to him on the way drives it out to deep right center field he's on the run for it but he has no chance to make the play it's off the wall oh and the throwback in is a wild one and that's going to play to go ahead run from second as they move out in front here three to two the death missing left the bat I thought it had three one home written all over it but it bounces off the wall so only one run scores and now a chance for his buddy to return the favor and bring in one or maybe two at the plate now Jean-Carlo Stanton as the first pitch misses to him it's ball one it's not easy to continue pounding the strike zone when you've given up three consecutive hits but he has to trust that getting the ball down in the zone will get him an out hit down the third base line and he can't pick it up cleanly and it's not in time he's safe as a run will score on the play as well now batting the second baseman labor tour now here comes the Oriole manager up out of the dugout on his way to the mound and he has signaled to the bullpen that's going to be all for his starter Alex Cobb so he'll make his way to the dugout after working just four and a third and he just didn't have his best stuff in this one Hunter Harvey takes the mound to try to get out of this mess there are two on with only one away number fifty six Hunter Harvey standing in now Torres he'll take a look at a pitch too low it's ball one he's hit listen is too at bat so far the one oh got to find a way to execute either a good fastball down the way or flip something off speed for a strike you cannot miss over the harder plate in these situations the hitter is on high alert two balls in a strike two one well hit the other way and it's into the gap judge is on his way home and this is going to find the wall out around the three seventy three sign and the second run will score here as they open things up to a six to advantage you simply cannot offer a pitch like this to a hitter of this guy's magnitude especially with runners on the bags he makes a living off frozen ropes to the outfield like this and that one drives in a pair so now to the plate Gary Sanchez as he swings and grounds it toward the hole and asked through into left field for a base hit throw comes in the third now so they're at the corners here with only one out now batting left you like talking stepping in now Mike talkman this is hit the other way out toward left field Santander waits on it he gets there to make the catch but this should bring home a run as the runner tags from third cash in here as the run is in to score from third it's a seven to two ball game using when you score a lot of runs in one inning like this thing you're doing a lot of things right and how about this a sack five to drive in another run they have to be happy with this stepping into the box Geo or Shella he comes in 0 for 2 thus far first pitch on its way fastball misses in the dirt as he tried to get him to chase the low one a runner on first with two away at the ball and he falls behind now 2 and 0 2 and 0 this inning really feels like it's getting away from him out there as a reliever you can't let that happen nothing you can do about what's already happened and it's only going to get worse if you're not focusing on the guy in the batter's box that'll find its way out of play still going to have a good hitters count two and one now from the bell kicks and deals all three fastball taken high and it's three and one now I got three and one three ball Luke Voight would be next to out with the man at first and the count will be full three two two out runner on first lots of possible outcomes on this pitch takes this the other way to right that gets down and the inning continues so now they'll have two men in scoring position following the two out double ready once again look point he hits here in a squad where he might be able to put this one out of reach down five another run across here could very well put the nail on the coffin mentally they might still feel like they've got a shot if they could get out of this jam though here comes the first pitch and a fastball to start things out here not close it's a ball and no strikes 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 popped him up Ruiz is there and that's the third out so a very good outburst here is five runs come across and allow them to take the lead last half of the fifth coming up the Yankees lead at seven to two ready to go for the last half of the inning standing in or he flew out in his last at bat this one doesn't look good so far down by a boatload as we enter the middle innings it's about time they get something going and the last thing you want to do is fall behind where you have to score a bunch in the eighth and ninth inning and this pitch just about saws him off as he can't get extended at all at strike one this has hit high in the air out toward left center Tuckman arranged to his left as he tracks this one down in left center for the first out now batting second line up flips over and digging in Hansar Alberto he's working on a one for two game so far he's ready here's the first offering on the corner at the knees 0 and 1 bases are empty one man up working quickly now with the splitters in there 0 and 2 man this guy's really pitched well so far attacking the strike zone and he's really kept these hitters off balance now a slider in there for a called third strike and there are two gone now that's what you call clipping the outside corner great movement on that slider and it completely locked up the hitter didn't fool the umpire though man see me now Trey Mancini as he takes a cold strike at the knees its own one offer two from him so far in this one now here it comes one and one two out lightning definitely applies to this offense if this two hole hitter can get on they could start something serious two out nobody on Shin hi that's taken for a ball man this guy has retired a whole slew right now I think what he needs to do is just stay focused and keep attacking the game plan like he has up to this point that's everything he's done has worked lays off the split finger that time three and one this is a good at that so far here with two away if you're going to go down one two three at least make the guy work for it he's doing that and he's even got himself into a good hitters count now that's in there and it'll run the count to full three and two this is foul right side making him sweat out there the seventh pitch coming up a shot to first base and caught there to end the inning one two three go the Orioles they're down five it's seven to two so here's the veteran Brett Gardner will try and get things started as we begin inning number six Brett Gardner ready to deliver here's the first pitch this is on the ground over the first look at the sliding stop it's there he got him now stepping in DJ LeMay here he's got a hit in three at bats to this point first pitch coming here it is as he lays off below the zone the half swing here but this is in there for a cold strike to the one two it's softly on the ground to first rained in and he'll flip it to the pitcher covering for the out now batting right field he'll go away now in the Yankees sixth and that'll bring up the former American League rookie of the year big Aaron judge first offering on its way and he fouls this one off one pitch though he definitely broke the plane there as he went after the pitch inside and it's strike two waved at and missed for the third out not much of a chance at hitting that one in the inning is over so the Yanks go one two three they're on top seven to two they're just striding forward now Anthony Santander and through five turns at bat they've only mustered a total of three hits not terrible but they're certainly not firing on all cylinders and that's getting a little bit too late in this game that this continues like this in today's game with so many dominant bullpen arms you certainly don't want to wait until the eighth or ninth to try to wake the bats up low with the splitter Bowl one one and oh two and oh to the Baltimore left fielder and he'll just watch the splitter here two and one and right into the shift but this will wind up a foul ball two and two did a good job to shorten up and protect the plate and he'll have another shot at it here high in the air out towards shallow right judges under it it's the play one away now batter so now it will be the four hole hitter for two here to strike the afternoon first offering on its way takes this the other way to right and that finds the outfield grass for a base hit and this is going to rattle up against the out of town scoreboard now and he's able to hustle his way up to second as you'll reach here with a two base hit number one tip you're at to the pitcher right there that was a streak of eleven batters retired in a row before that base hit let's see if he can regroup and keep going here's Chris Davis now he doubled earlier in the game one for two to this point Paul misses here to start the at bat it's one and oh lays off the fastball away and it's two and oh 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 three and oh to him now one out in a runner on second base and that's over three and one 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 he won and that misses ball four so it's first and second now with only one away look like he might have gotten squeezed a little bit right there you know he's talking to himself in his head about that kind of stuff goes both ways though hitters get their fair share of crummy calls going against them to digging in once again Austin Hayes he was a ground out victim last time up yeah Matty expect this pitcher to try and get the same result that's his last step bat right here the double play is in order anything on the ground the way this defense is they could certainly roll to now a fastball on the inside corner and he takes a look at strike one runners are at first and second with one away now a swing and a ball chop foul right at home plate and a sliders in the dirt as he lays off it for a ball some action out in the bullpen couple of right handers starting to loosen up the ball on and misty got him it's been a really rough day for this lineup there's really no other way to say it now a lot of good scoring opportunities and when they've had it like right now it's just been an uphill battle for them to make anything positive happen Rio Ruiz to the plate now as the first pitch years have been high it's ball one two men are on with two men out that's wide to know he's been really effective in this one so far but it's interesting here that with a couple of guys on base he seems to be not trusting his stuff quite as much kind of messing around the strike zone a little bit the 3 0 fastball taken but that gets the zone for a strike 3 and 1 with 2 1 and this is where you got to be geared up for something to drive I don't think you can just groove in one right here you still have to try to make a competitive pitch looking to wiggle out of this here it is 3 1 is a fastball and he can't connect 3 and 2 when you get yourself to a 3 1 count and you get a fastball those are the ones you really want to punish couldn't get the bat on it so we'll see if that comes back to Haunted full count here it comes too close for comfort and he did a good job just to make contact next 3 2 and that pitch misses for ball 4 so some intrigue now as the bases are loaded here with two away that's a big number obviously he didn't want to work carefully with two men on but he did not want to walk of the low the base now he's really got his work out for him we'll see how he fares here now in the box Jose Iglesias 1 4 2 on his line so far in the game to knock up pauses first pitch on the way fastball taken a little under the letters called a strike and this misses the outside corner so it's knotted up at 1 and 1 well he's having a good amount of success here and even though he hasn't really gotten a ton of swings yeah it amazes me how every game you pitch can be so different Matt sometimes it feels like guys can't touch you and you're just punching everyone out but other times you don't have your good stuff and you really rely on movement a swing and a miss that retires the side and that will do it a couple of walks but no damage onto the back third here this afternoon and we've got it for you on the show next will be the cleanup hitter Giancarlo Stanley already two for two he'll look to add on right here Giancarlo ready with the first pitch here it comes there's the fastball that gets the lower part of the zone called for a strike movement in the Orioles bullpen now as they've got a left hander up and throwing the wind up and the 0 1 hit in the air to left Santander waits on it one away the batter the one gone here in the Yankee seventh and that will bring up the exciting middle infieldered Labor Torres first pitch of the at bat fouled off into the wind up here comes the 0 and 1 fouled away the wind up and the 0 2 pitch and a swing and a miss here so it's a quick two outs to start the seventh didn't mess around much in that at bat down and no that was pretty impressive man I really like a picture that trust and works off this fastball right there he decided he didn't need to use anything else three straight heaters and go grab some bench into the box now Gary Sanchez and he takes ball one he's working on a one for three thus far is swung on and missed in that strike one off stride that time and it's one and two well that was an ugly swing if I'm pitching right now I'm throwing that same pitch again that was ugly got him swinging made him chase outside the zone that time and that puts an end to the 1 2 3 go the bombers they're on top seven to two Adam on a Vino gets the call from the pen to take over on the mound and start the home seven hero Adam on a Vino last half of the seventh year ready for another shot now chance Cisco no hits to this point just go first offering on its way fastball just misses that's ball one the 1 0 home runs a bit inside for a ball now the 2 0 home fastball and looks like they're pinching him a bit here it's three and one one thing to can nag at you as a pitchers having to work really hard to get a guy that you think you should be able to cruise right through he's not known for his offensive prowess but he's putting together a real nice at bat here the 3 1 that misses ball four it's a lead off walk to start the home seventh Wow I'm not sure what they were afraid of in this at bat now moved to 3 and 2 and they didn't even challenge him there I can understand being careful with some hitters but not that guy he'll happily take the walk so the batting order turns over now and set to go Hanser Alberto he was sent packing on strikes in his last trip yeah he failed to pull a bat off his shoulder and that one Matty down on three pitches pretty much a wasted a B this has to be a better effort rocket to third leaping try but it's out of his reach and into the outfield hey there's a base hit right there now they have a couple of runners on with less than two hours but number they're down so much in this game that maybe they can get starting here in this inning yeah 100% Dan I play the game a long time I've never seen a big league hitter given that bat away you chip away and fight until that 27000 is made ready with the first pitch here it comes taken but called the strike awesome execution right there great pitchers pitch in an excellent job to get ahead in a tough spot no yank the slider across that time laid off for a ball two and one lots of guys get too aggressive in a spot like this but he's done a nice job of gaining some count leverage look for him to put the ball and play hard he's set and the two one pitch three and one here you have to make a good pitch on the mound grooving one here rarely works in your favor unless the hitter tries to do too much with it hitters count all the way here it comes just behind the fastball there two strikes now I think it's about time to choke up on that bat get that foot down he's awfully hardy right now swing and a miss on the slider and that's out number one that swing tells me he was really trying to get a pitch out front and rip it down the line but that wasn't a great pitch to do it on it's really not the best two strike approach either at the plate Anthony Santander as he'll swing and miss it a first pitch slider at strike one 0 for two for him to this point and it's fouled away ready on 0 and 2 first and second now one man out and another foul ball here comes another 0 2 eye into the right side but he can't bring it down base hit and they will hold that runner over third as he'll move up only 90 feet but the bases are loaded with one away hitter hit right there look like had to respect it and freeze a little bit they had to freeze there for a second to make sure that line drive gets down but eventually does get the third base the look now the pitch a ball and no strikes boy it's really fun for me watching this vet out there battling in this tough spot we've seen him in jams like this many times before so he has plenty experience to be able to get out of these kind of jams and he's thinking more about that than the task at hand which is getting this hit around that swung on and missed or even at one and one bases are loaded with only one out one and two now one and two and this is swung on and missed oh a huge punch out there as the bases remain loaded with two away now that's a pretty unique pitch sequence guys usually pitching is all about mixing pitches and location but he threw that all up the window to get that strikeout he offered the same pitch three times in a row so I guess he sort of used that reverse psychology to outthink his opponent Chris Davis hit the plate now as he will look at a first pitch fast ball for ball one one for two in the ballgame thus far like a slider perhaps but it missed badly and it's to an old and often becomes harder to hit the zone when the pressure starts to heat up the two oh two tight with that one three and oh well nothing can make you question yourself on a mile more than three straight balls took a guy you know that you should go right after sometimes you just lose the strike zone and you don't know why challenge pitch coming here it is that one's in there three and one stealing that strike on three oh was important but you don't want to miss over the heart of the plate in this situation I got to believe he's going to be way more aggressive right here and it misses ball four and that will force Homer run and this is a great example of what happens when you can't find the first walk of the look harmless enough but this one brings a runner home self-inflicted wounds are always the hardest to swallow your answer is 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 Austin Hayes will be the first one to greet him and he'll bat in a big spot here bases loaded in two out in the inning from the belt the pitch swaying and missed that time it's oh and one that's what you call a challenge fastball right there boys I don't know if he was necessarily trying to miss up in the zone like he did but he got away with it right there and put the fastball by him he fouls this one off oh to delivery got him so the damage winds up not being as bad as it could have been as they'll strand the bases loaded the side is retired Orioles settle for one eighth inning coming up it's the Yankees seven and the Orioles three Sean Armstrong from the bullpen is he'll do so to start the eighth new winning set to get underway so striding in Mike Stockman it was an RBI sack fly for him last time through first pitch of the at bat and looked inside but that's ruled a strike nothing in one wave deck missed and he's behind oh and two now a swing and he pops him up this is right out in front of the mound and there's the first pitch of that third big riding into the box your shell he reached on a fielder's choice previously ready with the first pitch here it comes comes at him with the slider there and he gets the strike at the pitch taken several inches below the zone in fact Armstrong stands six two and throws from the right side he was taken in the 18th round back in 2011 I know this guy wouldn't go into the category of superstar but to find out the career he has being drafted where he was my hats off to him the 1 1 is swung on and missed for strike number two and now a right hander up and throwing in the Baltimore bullpen popped him up the glaciers calls for it he's got it and there are two down now into the box the loop point it was a fly out for him in his last trip almost went deep his last A.B. certainly just missed it with this guy's big power he's feeling pretty good at the dish look for him to try and get on something and drive it out of the yard this A.B. Santander is right there and that will retire the side so the Yankees go one two three they hang on to a seven to three lead digging in Rio Ruiz he'll get things started now in the bottom of any number eight first pitch of the at bat on its way probably a design take right there they need base runners so they're going to make them try to bring the ball in the strike zone oh one count here's the pitch one ball one strike double barreled action in the Yankee bullpen now a lefty and a right hander start to get loose from the windup the 1 1 pitch fastball swung on and missed for the first down well we've seen some really good pitching from these guys and this one the bullpen has looked sharp and 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 to the plate now Jose Iglesias as the first pitch to him runs a bit inside for ball one he's got a hit in three at bats to this point on our home hit on the ground down the first baseline but a foul ball one and one and when misses badly it's ball to her hit hard down the first baseline but this will be a foul ball as that evens things at two and two now here it comes fly ball out toward left center field left fielder giving chase he's got it a nice play there two away in now Francisco and down to their final four outs here down yeah it's not looking too good for them right now Matt they've got a significant hill to climb but they've got to take it one bat at a time a couple of guys get on and then who knows what could happen ready to deliver here's the first pitch ball the 1 0 bases are empty here with two men out can't keep the weight back and he falls behind one and two two balls and two strikes the counter chance Cisco he popped him up and that'll get down for what should be extra bases and this will kick off the base of the wall now he'll get into scoring position with two away and this is just a bad fastball he's trying to sneak in the backdoor he's unable to get it done leaves it right over the heart of the plate and that that's just too easy for a guy like this he's licking his chops as the ball arrives and he drills it to the outfield for an extra base hit so now to the plate Hanser Alberto has to watch a slider that stays inside for ball one two hits in four attempts to this point the 1 0 two tough sliders right there but he was able to lay off him might have bought himself a fastball in this situation the 2 0 on the way outside 3 0 now Trey Mancini would be next if they can keep this ending alive to out here in a runner at second and that misses ball four so it's first and second now with two out up next for your the right field Chad Green here looking to get the final out before the ninth inning ladies and gentlemen your attention please now pitching for the Yankees number 57 Chad standing in Trey Mancini and with men on base and two away it feels like this at bat could go a long way toward deciding this thing no doubt Matt a base hit here changes this game quite a bit but if they can't score here it looks pretty bleak for them heading into the last couple of innings he's ready here's the first offering ball hit high and foul down the left field line it's strike one 0 1 here's the pitch on the ground back up the box and it will get through in the center field a base hit and this gets right through him and that may be a run off of the throw will be well up the line as he scores easily yet one a day keeps the doctor away Dan especially when it's a big one late in the game it doesn't matter at all you're just trying to get one not today find a couple of barrels he having to catch his late I tell you what you're talking about coming at a good time to you haven't kind of a rough night last AB you end up being able to do something positive not only for yourself but also helping a team out to into the box Anthony Santander as he looks at a fastball that's in there for no one to know thing in two count and the pitch and a good fastball swung on and missed for strike three and the inning is over Orioles settle for one ninth inning coming up it's the Yankees seven and the O's for he's doubled and singled in four at bats in this contest over a weapon red liver here's the first pitch this is pulled into right and that finds the outfield grass for a base hit and he's able to hustle his way up the second as he'll reach here with a two base hit now bad well back in the day you would hope your leadoff man can work a walk or lay out an infield single but not in today's game now they expect the leadoff hitter to have a little pop just like this guy nice leadoff double stepping in now DJ LeMayhew he squares it up and hits a boat to left center that gets down he's got himself a base hit tack on another here is the runner's scores from second that makes it an eight to four ballgame the right Dan back to back pitches double then single ambush tactics what they would they're swinging the bats early you have a double than an RBI single to drive them in potential for a real big inning here and that'll bring up Aaron judge as he'll take a look at ball one three for four so far and seeing it well in this ballgame it's a fastball that's nowhere near the zone it's two and oh now somebody's getting frustrated he's not used to getting hit around like this believe they'll say he broke the plane as yes he did it's ruled a strike nobody outrunner on first two and two fastball didn't miss by much and it's a full count now three and two don't go too far the dangerous Giancarlo Stanton gets his shot next rounded down the third but this will get foul so they'll do it again three and two payoff pitch one more time and here's a slider that misses below the knees it's ball for now batting designated hitter Giancarlo starting forward now is the DH Giancarlo Stanton so far two for three in this one he's set here it comes ball one he's really in trouble and it's just getting worse and worse and worse this guy needs to find the strike zone in the worst way I had him lunging at that pitch away and it's one and one now man this guy's been locked in all game long I don't know where that ugly swing just came from one one hit hard towards the hole and that is through in the left field the base hit the throw into second and the throw will go to second as they get the force out and he's safe oh man I don't know how that happened look to be a base into the outfield but then all of a sudden the throw comes in and they get the force on the plate to be honest that just can't happen but the plate Torres and their runners at the corners now first pitch on its way runners are at the corners with one man out high with the cut fastball and he's behind 2 and 0 his pitch count is getting up there in the inning now he needs to get this frame over with sooner than later so forcing contact and getting the defense involved is probably the best thing he can do hitters count here's the 2 0 pitch 3 and 0 now Gary Sanchez will be next sharply hit ball back up the middle and that finds the outfield grass for a base hit and a score is the runner from third now a 9 4 ballgame I mean that had to feel good right there Dan that's his third RBI in the game and extends his team's lead they might have this one locked up well I tell you those are always big those add on insurance runs big RBI right there for a little bit more breathing room Michael Ruker enters the game with one gun in the top of inning number nine Ruker standing in now Gary Sanchez as he'll take a look at a high strike that time it's nothing in one and it's 0 and 2 to Sanchez you got to go into battle mode after falling down 0 2 and you find a way to work yourself back to even nothing in two count and the pitch when you've got a guy that throws a good two-scene fastball you have to be ready for him to try to run it inside and jam you good job to lay off that one but I wouldn't be surprised if we see it again and a change up here that's taken low in the dirt for a ball and he threw that pitch with a purpose to get a double play good job to let it go by though as a hitter struck him out again I should say his third punch out of the game that's a pretty good pitch right there that fastball left on the inner half of the plate you can see that he just isn't able to get those arms extended and pretty ugly swing right there at the plate now Mike Topman as the first pitch to him is in there for a called strike one he's hitless in three at bats to this point popped him up Ruiz in foul ground but this will land untouched and he looks at a ball one and two and this one's in the dirt goes to third with it and he's going to make it up the third here as he advances on the wild pitch well you live by the sword you die by it too he went with an off-speed pitch down in the zone and that's the risk you take there the catcher can't come up with it and two runners advanced now they're both in the scoring position the two two wow this is a pretty good at that right here from down in the count oh and two to work the count back to three and two and he's seen a lot of pitches too ready now with the payoff pitch and there's strike three so we'll see now they can manage to hold on to this huge lead as the side is retired so it's two runs on three hits no errors and a couple of men left on to the bottom of ending number nine four five and six coming up the Yankees lead at nine to four so now the Oriole cleanup hitter Nunez he'll be the one to get us going here in the bottom of ending number nine he's set and the pitch there's a fastball on the inner third taken for a strike and it looks like the Yankees will have a left hander up and throwing in the bullpen he's ready here's the oh one ball one 21 a two and one count to Nunez the two one hard hit towards center Gardner is there and that's not the start to the bottom of the ninth this crowd was hoping for now one away first baseman at the plate Chris Davis one for two with a double on the ledger so far here's the first pitch to him fastball and he's quickly in the hole 0 and 2 and that is swung on and missed and things are starting to look bleak here for the home nine there are two away now now batting stepping in and ready for another shot Austin Heads he comes to the plate as the last chance for his side two out here in the ninth first pitch on its way 1 0 and there's a fastball well off the plate inside 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 now the 2 0 home is taken strike one inside for a ball as he falls behind to him here three and one Rio Ruiz would be next in one pitch and this is in the air to right and this should do it judge is there to make the catch and with that the ball game is over well in hindsight it was the right choice to let the setup guy stay in the game and finish this thing I wasn't so sure before but the results sure speak for themselves and this ball game ends at a nine to four final score the Yankees used a nice fifth inning to take the lead and they never gave it back Masahiro Tanaka that is well enough to get the W Alex Cobb permitted six earned runs to come across in the losing effort so that just about does it for Mark Derosa Dan please
