 We are under the lights this evening as we get you set for another edition of baseball on the show tonight We've got a good matchup in store between the Minnesota twins and the New York Yankees The Yankees are looking to collect their eighth win in a row next Jordan Montgomery a hurler from South Carolina will be the starting pitcher in this one What do you have for us on him Danny? Really like this guy who reminds me a lot of Andy Pettit left-hander from the University of South Carolina Not an overpowering fastball kind of like Andy Pettit low to mid 90s fastball good curveball His secondary pitches he needs to improve on a little bit, but this guy has a great future Quality arm from the left side now in the box Louisa Rias. You'll get us started in this one under the lights Lifted in the air to shallow center field weed Ranging into the outfield he gets there to make the play for the first out of the inning Here's Byron Buxton now first pitch of the at bat on its way Strike taken as the curveball drops into the bottom part of the zone and as the Yankees get started here tonight guys Fortune has been smiling on him recently. They're unbeaten in their last seven games You know Maddie the season's such a grind and you fight so hard day in day out You're playing against the best players in the world So you know you're gonna lose some games coming out of spring training to get on a roll where you win seven in a row a Week of everything coming together. That's a special feeling And he misses there one and two Temperature was in the 70s earlier today, but 59 at game time tonight Still one and two and the pitch Breaking ball called third strike as that catches the zone for route number two That's just quality pitching right there for that strikeout as we look at all five pitches Notice the location all five down in the zone Some guys are real good low ball hitters But more often than not keeping the ball down is going to lead to a lot of success on the mound Here's Nelson Cruz now This will take a look at a curveball that misses wide for ball one first chance for him here in the top of the first with Nobody on on our home well executed fastball right at the knees Gonna be a long day for this offense if he stays in that spot time for a look at our umpires in this one behind The plate is Patrick Johnson. You know D-roll Patty Johnson You know decent strike zone, but isn't always super consistent. I think that's one of the things that Irritates players and pitchers. Yeah, you're gonna see a few glares not only from the offensive guys But maybe the guy on the mound as well He needs to be a little bit more consistent into the corner and slicing foul And we'll have the first base runner of the ballgame here is that misses and it's a two-out walk batting for the designated hitters Miguel The next twin up Miguel Suno and we'll see if they can make him pay for the two-out walk always considered a big No, no, of course first delivery to him on the way That's a tough pitch right there Curball kind of front hit your first move is to bail a little bit kind of not want to get hit by that pitch I can totally understand him taking that first strike and as it turns out the two-out walk doesn't come around to hunt him Is that ends the inning one left for Minnesota and now the bombers will get their shot no score Randy Dobnick is ready to go as he'll be on the mound for Minnesota. What do we need to know here, Danny? Boy was he super good in his last one a complete game shutout a true gem He certainly would like to repeat that performance here Here's Brett Gartner now. It'll leave things off here in the bottom half of the forest or the Yankee the center fielder Now here's the pitch and here's a cold strike to the 36 year old veteran It's nothing in one and guys as we take a look at the twins at the start of play here tonight They came up a little short last time out But they've still been one of the hotter teams around winning eight of their last ten ball games Yeah, Maddie taking a look at the standings right here. This team has a nice lead comfortable You always want to find yourself in a position where you're about five to nine games got the advantage You know one series isn't going to totally kill you in the standings in this team This team's sitting pretty right now count moves to a ball in two strikes now This is swung on and missed as Gartner's a strikeout victim one away Hey, I'm not sure what he was sitting on right there might have been sitting on an off-speed pitch But instead he gets the fastball way late had no chance to put that ball in play And that'll bring up Glaver Torres as the first pitch misses to him. It's ball one Faces her empty one man out Hit hard on the ground a third and it eats him up a bit And the throw will be too late as he can't recover in time batting third the right fielding error Yeah, and that'll bring up Aaron judge day off for him yesterday But back out there for this one first pitch of the at bat on its way a ball of no strikes Don't be shocked if he doesn't go right back to that splitter again He's looking for a double play and that pitch certainly has enough depth on it to get him a ground ball He fouls this one off. Here's the one one shot down the line This will be a foul ball is that evens things at two and two Torres base runner at first with one out and that's low so a good eye there as he works the count back full We could see the runner in motion here on a three-two count with one out There's a pretty good chance. He's gonna get a pitch to swing it and if not it's ball four anyways popped him up Garver moving to his left. He's got it and there are two down now batting fourth the designated hitter John Carlaw Jim Carlos Stanton now he takes his first cuts in this one with a man at first and two away from the stretch Filed off on one count and the pitch Swing and a miss here and he's behind in the count now oh and two That's just a great pitch right there great execution. He just got that hitter to think that pitch was knee-high nasty diving out of his own Two out with the man at first and a fastball called strike three and the side is retired Nothing in the Yankee first. We'll head to the second at the stadium with no score Mitch Garver take a look at the splits between April and May Garver ready to deliver. Here's the first pitch To wind up and the oh one And a curveball 79 miles an hour. It's in there oh and two Pretty unusual that you see a five-hole hitter take two strikes in a row Typically, those are some of the most aggressive batters in the lineup Good curveball gets him swinging for wrap number one Daddy Max Kepler the next to grab a bat And he's carrying a batting average of just over 300 so clearly he's been a productive player with the bat in his hand so far And he lays off a pitch here that he probably shouldn't have oh and one Swung on but fouled off to the left to wind up and the oh two pitch Oh, and he's gonna get rung up on a curveball and that looked like a questionable strike at best two away Six pitches to strikeouts in the inning aren't to beat that and beyond that He has to feel good about the way the curveball is coming out of his hand. That was a nasty looking pitch at the plate Now Eddie Rosario as he rips it on the ground a second. He's got it Throw not nearly in time as he reaches it first And that's great hustle right there out of the box not everybody's getting it right out of the shoot from step one But I have to ask you dad how frustrating executing a pitch and there's an infield not it is D. Rowan You can read that right off the bat as a pitcher you can read the angle You know that that ball is going to be hit on the ground and you're thinking deep down inside Okay, there's a quick out and it just wasn't meant to be he's ready. Here's the first offering Lying to the right side and a little self-preservation down at first as he pulls that one into in the inning one hit one left We'll go to the bottom half of ending number two and we are tied. Nothing. Nothing put the plate Gary Sanchez We need to go he really thrives in the batter's box here at home something Gary eye on in this one Slippery to him on the way And it's fouled away now the oh one now he extends nicely and this ball is driven to right field and deep Boom Solo shot here for Gary Sanchez home run number 15 for him thus far as the Yankees will grab a one-to-nothing lead Hey, listen, there's an old adage in baseball that solo home runs won't kill you This is one of the top hitters in that lineup. So a home run a solo home run right here In Giovanni or shella the third baseman So they offer slider to low ball one hit Leonard play here up near the 340 mark for home runs and 21 driven in on all home high in the air and drifting out to shallow center center fielder on the run And he tracks it down nice play for the first down the left fielder Digging in now for the Yankees Mike talkman one run in and one gone so far in the city Here comes the first pitch Not even close on that swing no balls in a strike Beautifully thrown splitter right there high 80s down in the zone looks like a fastball coming in then boom The bottom falls out of it terrific pitch. That's taken now. It's oh and two Nothing in two count and the pitch Stole cold take right there that fastball very well could have sent him packing back to the bench Ready to deliver the one and two Don't be surprised if he gets another back foot slider right here Don't think for a second just because he took the first one that this pitcher won't come back exactly the same way Here now the two-two It's the top of the zone. He struck him out looking This inning didn't get started the way he'd hoped with that home run But I've got to give him credit for flushing it the first thing coming back here to get strikeouts on the last two guys He's acting like it didn't even happen before Into the box look void Sends that one out of play for strike one He's back in the starting lineup for this one after sitting out last night's game And this is pulled fouled as he was way out in front there. Oh to delivery I went for the knockout pitch that time, but a good eye one and two He wasn't even close to swinging right there. That was a stone cold take the one two Is a wave and a miss he struck him out Some of our nation's young minds and future leaders here in attendance Yikes back with more here on a Tuesday night after this There's Marwan Gonzalez now leave things off here in this one-run contest Here's the pitch So far this year against South Paws Gonzalez is hitting over 350 up in the high 300s you want to talk about having a career season Maddie This guy's batting averages through the roof one of the best in the business and maybe more importantly His OPS is through the roof as well, which means he's doing it with damage Now batting second base Louie O'Reilly into the box now Luis O'Reilly As you would look at a first pitch fastball for ball one he flyed out leading off the ball game He won a home. I fly ball out to straightaway center Gartner will settle under it to make the play for the first out as the runner will have to head back to first up next to the twig the center fielder Byron So that will bring in Byron Buxton over one here in the early going First offering on its way now a swing and a miss as they start him out on a pitch well inside for strike one The old one is a fastball low and that evens the count at one and one kicks and deals Swing in a ground ball to third But this will wind up a foul ball two and two Open to send him packing pitch on its way skyed down the left field line Tuckman is there to put it away and the runner will be forced to retreat back to first up deck for the twig the right fielder Nelson Through into the box now Nelson Cruz. He drew a base on balls his first time up from the stretch bounce to first But the inning will continue as that's through for a two-out hit and that runner will go no further than second as there are two aboard now But I can't imagine that's a pitch he was looking for right there But he did his best to keep his nose in there and drive that change up for a base hit Here's Miguel Sunno And this one's in the dirt no movement on base it's ball one with two men out two balls and no strikes to Miguel Sunno Hey time to start making some quality pitches He finds himself in a tough spot behind an account with guys on base hit down the third base line But a foul ball and it's two and one now the set and the two and one Misses again ball three This is spot you'd like to be in as a good hitter runners in scoring position and count leverage in your favor three and one pitch Line down the left field line But this will be fouled you with the payoff pitch fouled away He sent the payoff pitch And the inning goes away in unceremonious fashion on a swing and a miss it a ball way outside the strike zone Twin strand a pair they're on the short end of a one-to-nothing score and that'll bring up Tyler Wayne He'll get us going in the half of ending number three second base Here comes the first pitch Fastball to gets the inside corner strike one runs up and gets this one down And he will smartly swipe that ball away in foul territory, so we likely won't see the bunt again now with two strikes This is skied into short left center Rosario comes on and makes the catch in shallow left throughout number one the center fielder number 11 So here's the veteran Brett Gardner. He's ready. Here's the first offering Fastball just misses at ball one Pitch taken several inches below the zone in fact You never want to fall behind as a pitcher, but doing it to a guy like this is even worse He's got to bear down and execute for the rest of this at bat starting right now Two balls in a strike now to the Yankees lead-off man, and it's two balls and two strikes now Three and two to the Yankees center fielder One out nobody on Too close for comfort, and he did a good job just to make contact And now a slider in there for a called third strike and there are two gone now Now batter so bases are empty here with two gone that will bring up Glaber Torrez First delivery to him on the way And here's a called strike at the knees don't think he liked that one too much, but it's oh and one Tough to do much with that one a swing and a miss This could be a huge win for the guy on the mound if he's able to get out of this inning One two three and start fresh next inning with the middle of the order into the windup. Here comes the oh two pitch And he comes back with a fastball strike three called and the inning is over One two three go the bombers they lead it one to nothing all set for the start of the fourth Stepping in Mitch Garver kept you looked to bounce back after striking out his last time up Yeah, he didn't put up much of a fight either Maddie got to find a way can't go down three pitches I don't care if you're staring at him or swinging on you have to find a way to make this picture work A little bit harder leaps high as he makes the catch well done Opportunity now to take a look at some of the future players in the Yankee Organization as our road to the show report spotlights a couple of guys that have been playing well in recent action This he'll pop this one foul off to the left it out of play first time up. He went down looking swaying the line drive Foul the windup and the oh two pitch One ball to fight the count That hook stayed up in the zone. You can see he struggled with that curve ball early He's trying to find that release point with his off-speed pitches left to see if he can find the feel for that thing moving forward You got caught lunging there as this one's fouled away If you're on the mound right there and you're getting a swing and a breaking ball off the plate Do not be shocked if he's tucked something up under this guy's chin hot right here swing and a little blooper to center Into the slide and he comes up with a great catch for the second out That's a slick play out there as we take a look at it on show motion He was charging in quickly and he slides to get under the ball just before it reaches the ground and gets the out well done Up next for Minnesota Eddie Rosario in field in the over shift here now the pitch One oh the 1-0 home Pretty easy takes to start out this at bat none of those pitches were even close to the strike zone No runs three hits and no errors in the ballgame for Minnesota To tight with that one three and oh Well of all the guys in this lineup He's definitely the guy I'd be cautious with especially with the one-run lead no surprise that he's treading lightly right here 50th pitch of the game on its way Taking all the way that time. It's three and one Hey, there aren't too many power hitters in the game that would let that pitch go by Can't keep that one fair and now the counts full Three two counts are usually a time to challenge the hitter But I think he'll be careful here shoot for the corner and if you miss and you walk him So what that's better than him putting one in the seats and he fouls this one off X3 to Hit back toward the mound Torres brings it in throw on the vortex carry them and the ending is over Fair to say. Oh my goodness These folks are not headed for a career on Broadway. Don't go anywhere more Tuesday night baseball after this Digging in for his second at bat Aaron judge comes into this at bat 0 for 1 in the ball game error God First pitch of the at bat hit hard towards center And that'll get down for a base hit so he goes after the first pitch and it's early trouble here this half of the inning The designated hitter And digging into the batter's box next will be Giancarlo Stanton and a sliding attempt at first But this sneaks by him a base hit but the feet of the second baseman is a wild one Now that's one of the advantages of Gary hole between first and second base D First baseman has to hold that runner-on that leaves that right side wide open. Yeah, and credit the bat right there Nice piece of hit right there not trying to do too much He took a look at the defense and saw it where it was aligned and tried to beat him and again now Gary Sanchez As he looks at a fastball that's in there for strike one, but one delivery Behind 0 and 2 now another foul ball the next oh to He went deep earlier so that might have been a little bit of a message They were trying to send it get him off the plate at the very least They're clearly trying to get him from getting his arms extended again the 1-2 Hot shot on the ground is short He can't pick it up cleanly to second for one on the first to complete the double play Well, there's the pitchers best friend right there number one inning was off to a rough start, right? But nothing changes that like a good old two-ball. We'll see if they can strand the runner at third now Stepping up now Giorg Shella runner in scoring position with two gun halfway to a hundred pitches here It is one run four hits and no errors for the Yankees so far In the dirt and block behind the plate on he'll make it back in safely a third One and one here it is Kitches away, but it's swung on and grounded the second field it cleanly They'll whip this one to first in time and that ends the inning Yanks leave one, but they're up one to nothing Welcome back to the Bronx as we check in with Heidi Thanks Matt in between innings I was able to catch up with the manager of the twins to discuss his thoughts on Minnesota's lineup so far and he told me He's pretty unhappy with their discipline at the plate in this one He said their pitch selection has been the main reason for their struggles today as far too often They've been swinging at pitches outside the strike zone. That's leading to a lot of soft contact and easy outs So the focus going forward is on shrinking the zone and forcing the opposing pitching to throw more strikes All right, Heidi. Thank you Josh Donaldson digging in now. He'll start things out as we begin the fifth first offering on its way and Solid contact there as his ball is belted high in the air out to left Gone to lead off the inning It's a solo shot off the bat of Josh Donaldson Number 10 for him on the year as the twins have come back to tie it at one Hey, that's the price you pay right there when you try and sneak a fastball pass this guy Power hitter and every power hitter in the league knows you got to start with the numero uno number one man You got to get on the heater and adjust to everything else and he did just that at the plate Marwan Gonzalez This he'll take a look at a strike on the outside corner. It's oh and one Man, this guy's been incredibly efficient so far in this one mostly because he's getting ahead 70% of the batters. He's faced. He's thrown the first pitch strike to one and one A ball and two strikes to the twins shortstop He hasn't thrown that pitch much all game. I got to believe as an offense You just got to throw that pitch away and move on to the next one. It's off two and two now Swung on but it's pulled foul a lot of third You can definitely tell with that foul off right there that he's picking up spin on this pitchers off speed stuff Maybe expect a fastball on this next one Skied into straight away right Judge is there to put it away for outnumber one Now that second base Louie O'Reilly Louie Sarayas no hits in two trips to the plate for him in the ballgame ready to deliver. Here's the first pitch That's lifted the other way out to left Tuckman is right there as he'll put it away without much problem for the second out The center so with the fly out there coming on the fastball seems like an appropriate time to check out our pitch speed Comparison for these two starters and as you see there just one mile an hour separating these two arms so far 96 on one hand 95 on the other so two were gone in the twins half of the fifth and that'll bring up the speedy outfielder Byron Buxton First pitch of the at bat on its way Can't find the zone there as he lays off the breaking ball You have to be careful. You can't sleep on the butt right here even with two outs They're playing him back, but this guy can handle the bat And that's inside and a bit low. Anyways, it's 2-0 Timing just a tick off there is this one's fouled off to the right Hits are now even at four apiece I in deep down the left field line And this will wind up a foul ball trying to send them packing for the second time Line drive to left Tuckman is there makes the catch and the side is retired But the twins do come back to level things out thanks to this solo home run Bottom of the fifth coming up all even at one apiece Welcome back to the Bronx as we check in with Heidi Thanks Matt I talked with Yankees manager Aaron Boone during the break about the team's offensive performance so far And he told me he'd like to see a lot more aggressiveness in their at bats the rest of the game Too much of the time they're finding themselves in disadvantage counts like 0-2 and 1-2 And that's basically never a formula for success He said they're getting a lot of strikes to swing at So the emphasis the rest of the game has to be to jump on those strikes early in the at bat Good stuff Heidi thanks Ready for another chance Mike Tuckman He got called out on strikes his last time through First pitch coming here it is Into the wind up here comes the 0-1 And low it's a ball and a strike 1-1 Being inside with that one a pretty easy take there The 2-1 home pulled toward right center field Center fielder on the run He makes the catch a great effort to get there and record the first out of the inning Now that is the first baseman Luke Boone At the plate Luke Voigt Here's the first pitch to him He feels like he's just on cruise control out there on the mound right now Boy this is a tight one you kind of get the feeling like the next team that scores is going to win this one Bases are empty one man out Off the plate one ball one strike And it's straight into the shift on the left side And that's the second out The batter number 14 Second baseman Tyler Wade Digging in to try it again Tyler Wade Flied out in his first at bat so make him 0-1 so far And now a pitch on the way And this ball is popped up Drifting back behind the mound Dobnek is there to make the catch and the side is retired So the Yanks go 1-2-3 We played five full tied at one side And that'll bring up the big stick of Nelson Cruz He'll go to work trying to do something about breaking this 1-1 tie He's ready Here's the first offering Curve ball taken for a strike on the inside Double barreled action in the Yankee bullpen Now a lefty and a right-hander start to get loose The wind up and the 0-1 Ball inside 2-1 the count You know what I'm seeing here is a reluctance to throw the fast ball It's like he feels he can't throw the ball right by him right now The 2-1 home Smoked on the ground left side Throw to first gets him so the leadoff man's retired here to begin the sixth Now that is Defeated here Miguel Suno So the big bat of Miguel Suno digs in next He started out the evening 0-2 so far First delivery to him on the way The fast ball here is he'll take a look at ball 1 1-0 1-1 Fast ball on the dirt that's taken for a ball Breaking ball that time that misses out of the zone Time to wake up the offense right here 3-1 count all in on something over the heart of the plate Full count 3 balls and 2 strikes to the twins DH Neither guy willing to give in and the at-battle continue Fly ball out toward left center field Gardeners after it He gets there and that's the second out The catcher number 8 Mitch Garver Plate Mitch Garver He lined out in his last trip so looking for better fortunes here Yeah he hit it hard that's all you can ask She can't control the results sometimes Maddie Just unlucky with the placement Ball 1 And this winds up inside for a ball 2-0 now 3-0 now I wouldn't be surprised if he had the green light here Matter of fact I know he's got the green light here He's looking for something set her cut and he's looking to do damage And it's fouled away And the 3-1 Can't keep that one fair either And now the count is full Faces are empty here with two men out Feed pitch swung on and missed And with that the side is retired Down go the twins in order Still tied 1 apiece Liding in once again Brett Gardner The set is started out for the Yanks here in the 6th Brett First offering on its way Hey it's a game of execution If the pitcher stays right there The lineup is going to continue to have a tough time On one count and the pitch And he misses with it one and one Now some action out in the Minnesota pen As it looks like both the lefty and the right-hander Are up to throw From the wind up the 1-1 pitch And that one misses badly it's ball 2 Couple strikeouts early in the game But he's done a much better job than this at bat Trying to get ahead And put himself in a good hitters count And he just misses inside with the fastball there Torres will be next Got him And that's the third time we've written a K Next to his name in this one 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 So now to the plate Torres Look out hot shot to third And there are two away The right-hander, number ninety-nine Are Judge Here's big Aaron judge He steps in off a base hit in his last at bat First pitch on its way Ball at inside 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 Ball to To take there to lay off the high fastball To owe to a guy with this kind of pop You better be awfully careful Because he's going to be swinging out of his shoes Three and oh now Now with the base is empty I think he needs to be careful not to just Groove one here just because it's three and oh He's a guy that could ambush you And lose one over the wall Two out, nobody on it Grounded down the third base line And this is going to be a foul ball And that one's taken outside for a ball They walked him So no one two three ending here They've got themselves a two out base runner As a former pitcher I can tell you Nothing is worse than having the battle Not only the hitter But the umpire as well He didn't get some of the calls there But there's nothing he can do about that now Just got to go right after the next guy Digging in and looking for more Giancarlo Stanton He singled his last time up From the belt the pitch In tight here with the first pitch fastball That's one and oh Two balls and no strikes The count is stanton Well both of those balls have been inside So if I'm hitting I'm looking for something I could get my arms extended on Probably won't come back inside for a third time Two and one after the foul ball there Runner aboard at first here With two gone in a one one ball game Fouled away Here now the two two He swung on and missed On strikes One left for the Yankees Score remains tied one to one Britain is on the pitch from the bullpen now To start at number seven Seventh inning ready to roll Standing in Max Kepler It was a fly out for him in his last trip The first baseman Max Kepler The pitch of the at bat on its way Too much bite on the breaking ball that time As it's well off the outside He's ready here's the one oh Front door with the slider Eclipse the zone for a cold strike Helping him out here as he swings and misses To fall behind a ball in two strikes Yeah Matt you see the same pitch three times In a row and you find yourself down one And two in the count Your head starts to get on a swivel here Is he coming back with it four times Or do I have to sit on something else The slider runs away from him there And the count levels at two and two As anticipated here's a ground ball Now to the right side And the throw to first is in time So the lead off man has gone here To start inning number seven Eddie Rosario In previous meetings with Britain over the years He's gone three for four Set here it comes Inside full one Close there but he doesn't get the call With the breaking ball How the two oh Look out all over the place now Three and oh When you're playing close games like this Base runners mean everything so He can ill afford to start giving away free passes And he lays off ball four Now the potential go ahead run is on base here 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 He's the first now with one away And here's Donaldson You have that last at bat daddy He turned that fastball run He didn't hit it a ton He didn't hit it a country mile But hey listen a home run is a home run Ready with the first pitch here it comes One one Not a surprise to see that low splitter there Anything with downward movement like that Is going to be at the top of the list In a double play situation Possible go ahead runs on first one away One tight with the sinker ball two Too far out in front that time He can't keep it fair two and one Now the pitch No reason to sit on anything other than the hard stuff In a location you like and drive it right now In one pitch and he misses with it ball four So the potential go ahead run Moves into scoring position now The batter number nine Now at the plate Marwin Gonzalez He flew out in his last at bat from the stretch There's a good breaking ball as he gets the bottom of the zone He'll be fine coming out of the bullpen in this one If he can keep the ball around the knees like that From the stretch That's a ball He's already blocked two in this inning already This guy just can't seem to find the strike zone One and two now That front door slider is a devastating pitch By the time you realize it's in the zone it's too late You can't even put a good swing on it All in two strikes here's the pitch Pulled high in the air out to left field Tuckman is gonna get there as he backs up to put it away And there are two gone now The batter number two Second base Luis Araya And now back to the leadoff spot in the twins lineup Stepping in Luis Arayas Not much in the way of productivity from him so far But he's got a chance to come through here in a crucial spot Yeah, it's time now that he has to put the rest of those bats behind him Because none of that matters if he can clutch up when it really counts Pitch coming, here it is Two men are on with two men out Get up in the zone but it's a strike One and one Two and one now to the twins leadoff man The set and the two one Three Three and two now For the guy in the mound this is one of those innings where nothing comes easy He's throwing a bunch of pitches and this AB hasn't been any different Definitely laboring at the moment He turns on this one and yanks it foul and back out of play Good battle here This will be the seventh pitch coming up Missed for the third out Not much of a chance at hitting that one and the inning is over So they let him off the hook here by scoring no runs Right to two walks We'll move on now to the bottom half of the seventh Get up and stretch All tied at one and one Homer Bailey gets the call from the pen to take over on the mound And start the home seventh Homer Bailey Settling in now Gary Sanchez The match up with Homer Bailey now to lead off the inning Gary Sanchez On its way Pull the fastball down a little too much there That's ball one The fastball looked at for a strike That's a ball And he misses two and one Two balls and one strike Two balls and two strikes now A slung on and missed for the first out Well there's nothing better from a pitcher standpoint than watching that high fastball A high piece of cheese What is up A slung and a miss That pitch looks so inviting to hit It's awfully tough to put in play The box Geo or Shella As he will take strike one on the fastball here No balls and a strike He's 0 for 2 in the ball game so far He with the nothing in one pitch 8-2 Your idea of working the count goes out the window You're frustrated right now Down 0-2 got to find a way to grind Nothing in two count and the pitch Nope Down and away it's a ball and two strikes One out nobody on He strikes him out as well So make it back to back punch outs here to the first two men he faces out of the bullpen That was a big strike out there guys The best pitchers have the ability to strike guys out When they really need to And that second out was really important at this point of the game Could be something we look back on later when the game's over Into the box now Mike Tuckman Center fielder giving chase But he can't get there and it bounces over the wall It's a ground rule double Hey there's a hard hit ball that was going to be down for extra bases The ball had some spring on it and it bounced over the wall And the ground rule double puts him on second base Without having to leg it out And it looks like they'd rather go after the next guys The intentional walk signal comes here with two away Well they felt it was better to take the bat out of the hands of a guy like that He's just too dangerous and they decided they'll take their chances with the next guy in the lineup Digging in Tyler Wade Two outs and two runners aboard here in the seventh inning Hoping to keep it tied here it comes The Yankees have been searching for that big hit pretty much all game It remains to see if they can get it but now it sure would be a good time Takes a pitch high and away for ball one One and one here it is And he fouls this one off The knuckle curved there and he thought he had him but it's two and two Here's the two and two Swing and a miss and that ends the inning Yankees strand a pair Score remains deadlocked at one Ben Heller has been summoned from the bullpen as he'll do so to start the eighth Number 61 Ben Heller And Byron Buxton fourth trip to the plate for him And he's at risk of ending that nice hitting streak that he's put together Yeah chances are it's on his mind Matt But you just have to let that get out of the way as best you can You have to approach this at that just like any other Otherwise you're just getting in your own way First pitch coming here it is Below the knees one ball no strikes On the corner away a ball and a strike One and one A one and one count here's the pitch On the run this one in on him and he can't connect so he finds himself down One and two now The first and how important is it to keep this guy off base in a tie ball game One away Now batting right fielder Nelson Drew In once again Nelson Cruz A hidden two tries scoring so far Comes the first pitch Filed off Into the wind up here comes the 0 and 1 Now he extends nicely and this ball is driven to right field and deep Judge is back to the track as he takes it for out number two Now batting The designated hitter Miguel The number four Minnesota hitter Miguel Sano No thump out of him in this game so far as might be expected He's 0 for 3 First pitch of the at bat That's the outside that time as the breaking ball can't catch the zone Hey this one's tied late in the game as a pitcher right now You just can't lay a cookie in there 1 and 0 But at that point either it's 2 and 0 If you've been paying attention the guy on the mound does not want to come inside If I'm at the plate I'm leaning out over Now a ball hit high down the left field line but back in amongst the spectators Foul Bases are empty here with two men out And right into the shift But this will be a foul ball as that evens things at 2 and 2 Counts even at 2 The pitch And that would never threaten the zone it's gone full now to 3 and 2 Look like he tried to elevate a fastball in that 2 2 pitch there But kind of overdid it With a pitch that high It's pretty easy to lay off if you're the hitter High in the air and drifting out to shallow center Wade has a play That retires the side Twins are set down 1 2 3 Still tied 1 apiece Back to the top of the Yankee order Digging in Let Gartner 3 at bats form in this one All ending with him going down on strikes Gartner First pitch on its way I'm chopping at that one it's nothing in 1 He knows full well he's sitting on a hat trick right here All he's trying to do is avoid the golden sombrero It's fouled away Wind up here comes the 0 2 pitch And this is hit hard to the right side But foul The 0 2 once more Swung on and missed he got him on strikes Fooled him just enough with that pitch to get him to go around according to the umpire Sometimes it can be really tough for these big strong guys Because once they're committed to swinging It's hard for them to slow their swings down And that appeared to be the case there First pitch of the at bat The high fastball is in there 0-1's the count Bases are empty one manner High chopper to third But this will wind up a foul ball strike 2 On its way the 0 2 pitch And here is strike 3 called on the fastball Looked to be about eye level but it's out number 2 instead 2 up, 2 down on strikes in this inning He looks really sharp out there guys The plate now Aaron judge As he will take a look at a fastball in there As that strike zone expands just a little It's 0-1 1 for 2 in the ball game thus far That's over but low it's a ball and a strike Maybe trying to back him up a bit there with the fastball 2-2 Man this has been a game filled of a lot of swings and misses Not very many confident swings And this team up there they swing at a butterfly right now The 2 in front of the plate Swing and a miss that retires the side and that will do it 1 2 3 go the bombers Score remains tied 1-1 Set to start the ninth in this one Stepping in and ready for another shot Mitch Garver he could really use a knock here 0-3 in the game so far Here's the first pitch to him Hard ground ball defense played him perfectly Throw on to first through the out end That is how the ninth inning gets underway Now batter the first baseman Max Kepler Max Kepler This pitch coming here it is Man that's a great take right there Backdoor slider just missed the outside corner This guy must have a really good eye Most guys swing at that pitch A ball and a strike The slider is laid off on the inside as it just misses the zone I know he buried that slider in right there But that's a dangerous pitch If he doesn't pop commit and bury that inside It leaks out over the plate He can get hurt with that pitch Popped him up Bershella in foul ground And that's the second out of the inning That's exactly what they wanted out of that pitch Up in the zone They took him up the ladder And he couldn't get up to it So that was an easy pop out Well executed pitch there With the plate Eddie Rosario It was a walk in his last trip Field shifted well to the right Here's the first pitch And he gets ahead 0-1 0-1 And it's 1-1 Two out nobody on No offer on that one Two balls and a strike He's falling behind now 3-1 Josh Donaldson would be next 3-1 Here's the pitch A bouncer up the middle Throw not nearly in time So despite the great effort That'll go into the books As an infield single That's a heck of an effort By the shortstop right there To leave his feet And try and make that throw To first base Got to be frustrated A little bit as a pitcher You executed your spot As soon as you throw one Like that D-roll You see your shortstop Get a glove on it You're thinking maybe He has a shot to get him But that's a long throw After that jump throw And a solid infield base hit But very frustrating as a pitcher Two out with the possible Go-ahead run at first Now it's 0-1-2 It's 1-2 1-2 Here it is And he strikes him out On a good pitch So one run can win it As we head to the bottom Of the inning Twins wind up stranding one Score remains deadlocked in one Taylor Rogers Here's the game from the pin And because this is A non-same situation It's evident that they're just Trying to get him some work After having not thrown in Several days Yeah, this is all about Just getting him some work, guys He hasn't a chance to come in And close the game off For several days now So they're just hoping They can keep him sharp And give him a chance to pitch In a real game situation here Here comes the first pitch Swing and a miss that time It's 0-1 The sinker dips two Now a 2-2 Hey, expect a challenge right here Does not want to run the count full He fouls this one off The 2-2 one more time Count full He's struck out again That's the third time He's gone down on strikes in this one Well, we'll see a lot of these Power arms coming out of the bullpen In these days But it doesn't make it Any less impressive to me I love watching guys come in And blow smoke right by, guys Gary Sanchez As he'll take a look at a slider That can't make it back to the corner It's ball one He's working on a one for three Thus far Inside ball two I don't mind him trying To pitch him backwards right there With those two early count sliders But now he finds himself in a situation Where he's going to have to come fast The 2-0 on the way Those were a couple of close pitches Right there in the inner part of the zone Hitters will tell you Pitches in that location Are tough to do anything with Here it is The 3-0 He's off Ball four So now the potential winning run Is aboard at first And you can tell by his body language That he's beyond frustrated by that call He's got to be wondering What he's got to do But the last thing he needs to do Is to let it get under his skin That will only make things worse So striding in Gio Arcella He's got a chance to end this one And send these fans home happy If he can get a ball Deep enough into the gap Liner towards second A leaping try But it's out of his reach And into the outfield Now batter Let's field her Tuckman So a big spot here And stepping in Mike Tuckman And he could very well get The intentional pass here As that would set up A potential double play ball That might keep the game tied Here's the first pitch Sinker runs outside To start the at bat 1-0 Boy, this is a dicey situation Right here With the runner in scoring position Sackfly brings that run in This is where you're going to Really have to try to Keep the ball on the ground As a pitcher What do you want to do As a hitter Dero Yeah, right here You are looking for anything Above the belt You see it up You have to let it go This is where you have to Check your ego at the door Something has to be elevated And put into the outfield Give your team a chance To score a run Possible winning run Just 90 feet away here One away There's a breaking ball But it's laid off And doesn't find his own Look boy Waits on deck 3-0 That's three straight sliders In a row I'd be shocked I would be shocked If he went to that well A fourth time I'd be looking heated Swinging into this Much too early And that makes it a full Account The offensive approach Here is simple You know the pitcher Is going for the case So set your sights Middle at a plate And then don't worry About the infielders They're so close Hard contact Is a guaranteed river He'll take strike three Called And as big and out As you can ask for there As the winning run Stays at third With two away now First baseman Look Boy Intentional walk here So now they'll have a Force at any base With two gone Now back D.J. LeMay here Will be called upon Here to hit With the game on the line Nothing but a fifth D.J. Love, Mayhew Left-handed pitching So far this season LeMay here Here is a hitting line Just over the 280 plateau Here's the 1-0 One and two To D.J. LeMay here Definitely a big pitch Coming up right here He's going to be pumped If he can work his way Out of this inning With the game still tied Strikes him out So a missed opportunity At the plate As he strands Three runners And aside is retired A couple of walks But no damage Back with more here On a Tuesday night After this D.J. LeMay here Stays in the ballgame In the nine hole And takes over at second base Now playing second base Number twenty-fifth D.J. LeMay Now hitting Louie Sessa takes the mound As he'll be the first Man to pitch Here in extra innings Louie Sessa In the switch hitter Marwen Gonzalez He'll start things out Here in a tie ballgame First offering on its way He's looked at for the first strike But this is just going to wind Up being a foul ball The one two Is a wave and a miss He struck him out 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 To strike a cross either Louie Sarayas As he looks at a fastball That misses off the plate For ball one Struggling so far in this one In looking to erase His 0 for 4 ballgame right here That's inside Two and 0 Started to go around But he's able to check His swing for ball three I love the ability to hold up Right there Especially with count Leverage I know you want to get Aggressive in the strike Zone But he was able to notice That wasn't his pitch And he lays off Ball four Now the potential Go ahead run is on base here Just a nice piece of hitting Right there Especially in extra innings He didn't try to win The thing by himself Or be a hero He just patiently worked At that until he earned the Walk We'll see if his teammates Can pick him up now So striding forward now Byron Buxton Is one away The runner at first Represents the potential Go ahead score Double play is in order However No balls in a strike Toe and two He's got excellent stuff Working right now Somebody has to make An adjustment You're seeing a lot of Late swings No one's getting a front foot Down No one's getting a barrel To the baseball Mowing away with that one It's one and two He threw that pitch With a purpose to get A double play Good job to let it go by Though as a hitter On a good slider There's swung on and missed As he's down on strikes For the second time Tonight It's always nice to keep The guy that has Good wheels off base Right there That's just what they did Right there Big strikeout Keep that guy off the base Pass The plate Nelson Cruz And he's a bit tardy There on the first pitch Fastball It's nothing in one There are two gone And the possible Go ahead run at first Counts even at One and one To Nelson Cruz It'd be too much Break on the slider Two and one Big sweeping Breaking ball Right there A good pitch But if he wants to Get him to swing at it He'll have to bring it in A little bit closer Two now Here out to left field Tuckman Is gonna have room out there As he puts this away To retire the side One left for Minnesota Still tied What a piece Tyler Duffy Comes on to start The home tenth And he's just hoping To get this one into The eleventh inning Number 21 Tyler Duffy Ready for the bottom Of the tenth here So coming to the plate Brett Gardner He was sat down On strikes in his Last ever battle 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 big Into the wind up Here comes the 0 and 1 Fastball just misses That's ball one Ball two Is the breaking ball Misses inside Two on home Now to Gardner And it's two balls And two strikes now And he can't get out Of the way there So the leadoff man Will be a board To open up the inning And this is the case of a guy Taking one for the team I think he could have gotten Out of the way of this one But he leans into it And puts himself on board Now he represents The winning run So it's a good move Stepping up to the plate Torres The winning run Is at first base Here's the first pitch Because that's going to move The winning run Into scoring position And I think that's the case Of the pitcher Being a little too preoccupied With the speed at first He lost focus on making the pitch And throws an absolute scud The irony of course is The runner's now on second And he didn't even have to steal Here to three and one now This would be an absolute Terrible start to the inning After drilling the first guy You can't allow the second guy To reach base via the wall Three one pitch He loses him on ball four You know It takes a lot of discipline To watch a pitch like that Go by there On a three one count He had the luxury of being A little bit more selective up there Good take And a walk is the result Now with the plate Aaron Judge The winning run at second However the double play In order here Here's the first pitch In there strike one With some traffic on the base pass Nice job by the pitcher To execute strike one Can't find the zone there As he lays off the breaking ball One and one pitch I'd be real surprised That he goes back out away there on the mound This is a count for a fastball challenge And we'll see if he's ready for it in the box The possible winning run on second No one out At the knees for a called strike And it's back to even at two and two With another two strike offering Hit the other way out toward right field Cruz is there one away Runners at the corners now with one away We'll see if he's off for him He didn't have to tag and go for third But now he can score a lot of different ways Doesn't have to be a hit Next will be the clean up hitter Giancarlo Stanton He's looking to bring home The winning run from third Here's the first pitch A great job pounding his own strike one When you got a great hitter in the box You gotta get ahead Count leverage is a must To the winning run Just 90 feet away here One away It's a called strike at the letters Though that looked high from here It's 0-2 now Big pitch coming up right here He'd love for a ground ball or a strikeout 0-2 pitch Struck him out A huge punch out there And the winning run stays anchored In third with two gone now Wow, he's just a lost cause Gary That's the fourth time he's struck out In this game alone And that's not something you'll forget very quickly That's about as bad of a day As you can have To the plate now Gary Sanchez And a slider bounces And that gets away So the lead runner holds on But the trailer will take second Well, they miss with the first one But then they decide Let's go ahead and put him aboard here And they'll do just that As you see the signal from the dugout And this is the right move here The first base open Take the bat out of this guy's hands Every single time Heading in Giorgella A two out hit and win it Pass ball or wild pitch Would do the trick just as well Here's the first pitch And he'll take strike one On the fastball Registering at 93 that time They love the confidence in that pitch right there Going right after one of the better hitters On this team Not afraid to execute Big spot here Possible winning run at third Two down And that misses downstairs For a whole one in one Fun, here it is The lead guide into straight away right Cruz is there to make the catch And that means we've got more baseball ahead Yankees leave them loaded Score remains tied one to one To be the Minnesota DH Miguel Sano He's batting clean up in this one But we'll get us started here in the ending As they look to wake up the bats Yeah, not much to get excited about With just the single notch on the scoreboard But you have to give credit to where it's deserved That's what I'm saying On the other side has been really impressive First delivery to him on the way Swing and a miss on the slider He's quickly behind nothing in two I know that feeling Played 14 years in the big leagues And still can't hit a slider Here comes the O2 pitch Now here's one hit in the air to the right side Boyd backs up a bit And he takes charge for the first half The catcher ever eats Mitch Garver Out of the plate He was retired via the ground ball Last time up Outfield shaded a bit to left center The first pitch What a note Now nobody on Lays off again and it's 2-0 It's fouled away Here's the 2-1 pitch Hey, I know the idea is to try to get The guy to swing on a 2-2 pitch But that one was so low I don't know anybody that would have swung With that pitch Got him And he goes down on strikes for the third time Wow, we've seen some really impressive pitching This one You could say these lineups have been anemic But I always like to give credit to pitching and defense And they've been fantastic all game low Now Max Kepler As he'll go after the first pitch to him And comes up empty at strike one 0-4 with a strikeout thus far With a wind up with the O2 He would slide her there but laid off And call the ball low Well all of the umpires in the seats But that was strike three And they weren't far off But I think that was a good call Looked to be just a bit outside Now the 1-2 Basins are empty here with two men out Slider laid off for the ball 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 Good swing on a tough pitch And he'll stick around to see another one To the pitch Hey there's not a lot you can do With a slider breaking down and in Unless you catch it way out front I like the idea of taking it And making the pitcher bring you Something a little more hittable And he founds this one off He lays off ball four Now the potential go ahead run Is on base here Man that's just painful for a pitcher Right there A 3-2 offering that was right on the corner But he couldn't get him to chase And he doesn't get the call You can't beat yourself up about that With too much Stepping into the box Eddie Rosario Man at first after the two out walk Here's the first pitch Hey if you're going to throw a pitch Like that to this guy That's right where you want to miss Any lower And he'll probably make you pay for it 2-0 to the Toon's left fielder 2-0 Two out with the possible Go ahead run at first Liner towards second Or right there is the second baseman And that will retire the side Twins wind up stranding one Score remains deadlocked in one You're at two No one takes over now to start The home 11th And he's looking to get this one to the Visiting 12 For Gio Binging in Mike Tuckman He was a backwards K Strikeout looking for him in his last at bat 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 He has to put the ball in play Oh and won the count A pitch on the way This is lying to left And that's in for his second hit of the afternoon So the leadoff man reaches base safely Here in extra innings That's a nice piece of hitting right there To put the winning run on base Interesting here Just where you play a little bit of manager It's an AL game Let's see if he employs a little National League style Maybe ask the guy to bunt And move the runner up right here I don't think so though American League it's nasty You're trying to drive something in a gap Or over a wall And they start him out with a slider Good spot but he doesn't get the call One and only No hits to this point Something to keep in mind They're really burning through that bullpen And this is only the first game of the series Definitely could have an impact On the rest of the series And maybe even the whole week ahead Ball to be chopped Foul Possible winning run aboard here Nobody out Two and two You know in the back of your mind As a batter right here He's got that nasty sinker I know it's 0-2 But he might not be looking For the punch out You have to find a way as a batter To get that two seamer up in his own Or you're gonna ground into a double play Here's the 2-2 pitch Swing in a liner toward the gap In left center Buxton will slide over And put this one away And that's out number one Now batting second baseman DJ Love Bayhue So a runner at first now with one away And that'll bring up DJ LeMayhew Here's the first pitch Offered a low win there but came up empty Great pitch in that situation If he makes contact on that one More than likely he's hitting into a double play Possible winning run on first One man away Protecting on 0-2 So we'll do it again With another two strike offering It's on the ground as second Did he get his double play Gonzalez for one And the relay won't nearly be in time As he's there easily That was kind of a high degree Of difficulty play that time You see the off balance through the second base And he couldn't get a lot on it But they did get the out It's a runner at first with two men out And up next The left handed hitting Brett Gardner First pitch Had him chopping at that one It's nothing in one He struggled quite a bit at the plate in this one So until he shows he can put a good swing on the ball I don't think they're going to give him Anything straight that he can handle Not close with the off speed pitch Taken for a ball Possible winning run stands at first With two out here This has hit the other way out toward left field Rosario is there to make the catch And that means we've got more Baseball ahead The Yankees leave one Still tied one apiece Tommy Kingley gets the ball As he'll take over to start this 12th inning Number 48 Tommy Kingley Plate now Josh Donaldson He's got a hit in three at bats to this point Got Donaldson Here's the first pitch to him This one's outside Quite a bit off the plate that time He's got the ball at 94 miles an hour And it's one in one Fastball by him here One and two now This is ball two In deep down the left field line And this will wind up a foul ball Either strike three called And that'll be the first out of the inning This programming note to pass along Due to the length of our game tonight The long running animated series The Wilkerson's will not be seen this evening Again no episode of the Wilkerson's After the game tonight We're stepping in Marwan Gonzalez He comes into this appearance in the midst of a one for four day And the pitch But change up there to start him But it drops a little low for ball one And some action out in the Yankee bullpen now As a right hander starts to loosen up Faces are empty one man out He wins it up one and one Swung on and missed one and two now Right field Judges under it He hauls it in without any trouble And there are two away The batter number two Second base Luis Araya Back to the top of the lineup Stepping in Luis Arayas Struggling so far in this one And looking to erase his 0 for 4 Ball game right here Here's the first pitch to him Here's a fastball that he shoots on In the left center And that will fall for a base hit Well the game of baseball has changed There's so much velocity in the game That was a 96 mile an hour fastball That he smoked the other way Yeah you have to keep your front shoulder tucked Right there You have to honor When a guy's throwing that hard 96 miles an hour You have to honor that fastball And try and work it the other way To keep you on the off speed Into the box Byron Buxton There's a look at a fastball In there on the outer half It's 0 and 1 Attempting to as they say Get off to Schneid here 0 for 5 so far Come set The 0-1 Swings through it for strike number 2 As the slider to ring him up But he lays off 1 and 2 To 2 balls and 2 strikes now 2 out with the possible go ahead run At first Just out in front of that one Still 2 and 2 Eye in the air out to left field Tuckman is there And he'll make the catch To retire the side 1 left for Minnesota Score remains tied 1 to 1 The 12th inning now Ready for another shot now Torres It was a walk in his last trick Raver He tries to hold up But they'll appeal down to first He went around says Larry Bullard At strike 1 The one pitch on its way Swing and a miss out in front of a change up Ready here's the 0-2 pitch To the first He's right there And he'll step on first For the out 3 unassisted Now batter The whitefielder Aaron Ready once again Aaron judge It was a fly out for him in his last trip Almost Maddie 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 Here's the 1-0 And a strike to even the count 1 and 1 Half nobody on And it's a ball in two strikes now Aaron judge One and two pitch To a second The off-balance throw gets him Nice play for the out Now batter And this is not an easy play When you have to raise him right He really didn't have a chance To get his feet set So this is all armed Nicely done Forward now the Yankee cleanup hitter Giancarlo Stanton And looking to improve on a 1 For five effort so far First pitch coming here it is And here's a slider that's nowhere Close and it's 1-0 Played as it's chopped foul Good deception on the slider there As he's way out in front One and two here it is And he strikes out again And that's the fifth time he's Punched out today this has Certainly not been his game So the Yanks go one two three Score remains deadlocked at one Nelson Cruz it was a flyout For him in his last trip Now clean Through Become set here's the nothing Nothing pitch hammered the other Way to deep right field Judge looks up and they have Taken the lead a solo shot Here to straight away right Field and it's now a one run Ball game Well somebody is anxious to End this thing and get the Heck out of here We'll see if that leadoff Homer stands up either way That's definitely a way to start The extra frame Green right handed reliever Standing six three gets the Ball now out of the bullpen Number 57 Jack Green Now that is the designated Hitter Miguel So now to the play Miguel So no yes he'll take a look At ball one it was a Flyout for him in his last Trip is swung on and missed Strike one That was some smoke right there High fire right on by One one Misses ball two Now the two one pitch Drilled right back up the middle Gloved by La Mayhew Throw on to first so a good Comeback there as he gets the First out of the inning Now that is Catcher Mitch Garver Coming to the plate now Mitch Garver he was punched out Strike three last time through Yeah Matty he needs to clean it up He's already got the hat trick The boys are wondering if the Golden sombrero is soon to follow Got to lock this A-B-N Low with a fastball here In the dirt even Hits ball one Swing and a miss one and one Bases are empty one man out One and two to the twins Catcher The shift will be of little Importance here as this is Lifted in the air out to left field Torres ranges back and he has it For route number two Now that is The first baseman Max Kepler So digging in now Max Kepler It was a walk in his last Trip Here comes the first pitch Now a big fastball and he's Well behind it with the swing It's not easy to get your barrel To a pitch that high That can be an effective Location as long as he keeps it Above the letters The 0 1 pitch That's taken Now it's 0 and 2 Tried to get him to go after the Slider but it's one and two Two out nobody on And he strikes him out here For route number three But the damage has been done Is now they'll need some extra Inning heroics to pull this One out So just the one hit in the Inning but it's a home run That pushes him out in front And now this crowd finds their Club behind the eight ball Here as they don't want to Wind up on the losing end Of this thing Minnesota leads this one Two to one Trevor May Comes in out of the bullpen So finally try to wrap this one Up in the bottom of the 13 Gary Sanchez Will stand in again as we take You back to earlier in the Ballgame This one swing here has been The entire offense to this Point as this home run Accounted for the only run They've tallied so far Stretch here's the pitch 0 1 May A native of Washington The evergreen state He was a fourth round selection During the 2008 Brown And when you come out of the Middle Round you have to Grind for everything That's exactly what this guy Has done And he has turned himself Into a solid big league Ball player Don't expect this pitcher To throw something over the Heart of the plate He's going to have to stay On the corners right here Huge spot in this game Do not miss over the heart And get beat 2-0 count The pitch Is taken strike one I got 2-1 account Balls in two strikes now Through that fastball Right by him He had no chance To get the barrel of that one Now the 2-2 Doesn't get the zone Count full now Not sure if that was a Purpose pitch or not But I liked it As a pitcher Sometimes you've got to be Willing to back the guy Off the plate by Running something hard inside You can't just let guys Be comfortable Standing in the batter's Box against you And possibly An interesting development Here It's a leadoff walk To begin the frame An extra inning And I'm sure the manager Is just fine with that I mean It's better to battle A slugger like that To the end And end up walking him Then serving one up Or he can really hurt you In now Giorgio Scella He'll be looking for Something you could drive Into the gap And drive home That tying run from first Good fastball Down around the Knees there Taken for a strike That was a pretty good Fastball After he walked To hit a previous There was a little angry On that heater The runner at first With no outs here And this one's in the dirt Good job keeping it close As the count goes to One and one It's a movement now In the Minnesota bullpen As a right-hander's up And throwing One-one Takes a pass And misses that strike Two Nobody out Runner on first And he takes strike Three cold On the fastball One gone Really important time For a strike Out there guys Tying run at first So objective Number one Getting him on base And now with one out It becomes a lot more difficult To manufacture that run Mike Tuckman As he'll take a look At an off-speed pitch Heard that misses for ball one He's looking for his Third hit of the ball
