 We are under the lights as the show gets you ready for another edition of Major League Baseball. Tonight we've got a good match up in store between the Baltimore Orioles and the New York Yankees. It's Yankees baseball and it comes your way next. James Paxton is ready to go as he'll be on the mound for the Yankees. What do you have for us on him Danny? Hey what this guy's been able to do is not easy. Averages over a strikeout per nine innings. His K per nine innings rate right now is ten for every nine innings pitched. Definitely one of the elite pitchers with the elite swing and miss stuff. Here's the shortstop now, Jose Iglesias. We show you what he did in May versus what he's done so far at the plate in June. First offering on its way. Off the plate and away there, one ball no strikes. And as the Yankees get started here tonight guys, they've been playing better than 500 baseball of late five and three in their last eight games. Yeah, Maddie, this team finds itself with a huge lead double digits right now and climbing playing really good baseball. Some people will say, oh, you don't want to have that big a lead. You start resting on your laurels. I look at it the other way man. You've earned the right to kind of get some guys off their feet if the manager wants. There's a lot of different ways you can go about it. This team's focused in playing really good baseball. I would not worry about it. Keep pushing the throttle. Game time temperature, a comfortable 76 degrees. Now look out as Ed runs in and gets him and a very interesting start to this one. Well, there's no strategic reason to hit the leadoff man that I can think of. So now he's aboard with no outs to start the game and that's not how you want to get your outing underway on the mound. So striding in Ramon Urayas. The season batting average comes in down in the 240s. Ready with the first pitch, here it comes. And that misses ball one. And set up behind the dish is Clyde Washington as you see the rest of our umpire and crew there. Yeah, Maddy Clyde's my type of umpire. I didn't mind the low strike zone and that's exactly what he has. If you're not going to give him above the belt, I'm okay with it. You know one of the things I guess with Clyde is he is a real good low strike umpire. Pictures seem to like him more than hitters but one thing I will say he has a very consistent zone. It's a low zone but a consistent zone. Nobody outrunner on first. Like the fastball got away from him there. It's ball two. The two one. He drilled the previous batter and now he falls behind three one to this guy. The last thing you can do though is throw a fastball middle of the plate right here. Hitters count all the way. Here it comes. And it's fouled away. Iglesias. Iglesias gets his lead at first. Nobody out. A bouncer to the left side. One there. Return throw is in time. And what do you know? They do get the double play. So bases are empty here with two gone. And that'll bring up the power hitting outfielder Tray Mancini. Here comes the first pitch to the windup. Here comes the 0 and 1. Big swing and a miss at the fastball and he's behind in the count 0 and 2. That's a well placed fastball right there just off the outside. If you can get guys to expand the strike zone and go after that pitch, you're going to have a lot of success. No luck that time though. Can't get him to chase. It's one and two. So the intent of that 0 2 cutter right there isn't necessarily to get a swinging strike. If you get it well hey that's great. But if you get it inside enough and he does make contact, he probably can't do anything with it anyway. High and deep to center field. Gardner going back to the track. And he makes a nice catch on the track as that ends the inning. Nothing doing this time around for the O's. Orioles nothing. Yankees coming to bat. You're watching Major League Baseball on the show. Asher Wojachowski will be on the bump for game two of the series. Dan any thoughts? Hey this guy comes into this start Matt having lost two of his last three starts. So you know he wants to get off on the right foot in this one. One of the keys getting out early and establishing his off speed pitch repertoire early on in this one. We'll see if he can do that in this one here today. Stepping in Gardner. He's currently ninth in the American League batting race entering play. This season really shouldn't come as a surprise to many. We all know what kind of skill this guy produces when he has a bat in his hands. He's ready. Here's the first offering strike one to start the at bat. The wind up and the 0 1. Here's a fastball at the knees. Good spot. Good pitch. And it's 0 and 2. Nothing in two count and the pitch. There's a fastball well off the plate for a ball. Hit out towards second throws in time and that's out number one batting second. The right fielder Aaron. Stepping up now Aaron Judge is prior history in this match up. He's one for four. First pitch coming here it is. Great curveball there really fooled him with that one. Guys the Orioles as they begin play here tonight they came out on the losing end last time out and are in a bit of a skid in fact they've lost seven of their last 10. Yeah guys dropping yesterday was a heartbreaker without question but you know what you find the way you show up to the yard today you get out of the cab and you watch countless hours of video and you try and formulate a game plan to get this back to 500 one in one to start the road trip and you're moving in the right direction. The count now at 2 and 1. Here's the pitch and a swing and a miss as that looked like self-defense there. It's two and two. Well that's a jam shot right there. That's as good as it gets in my opinion. Up and in swing and a screamer but this one's not going to stay fair. Nobody on it's a high fly ball headed for the left field corner. If it stays fair it's gone and it's a foul ball. The two two one more time. Swung on and missed he got him on strikes. One thing to know is not all strikeouts are created equal right there. He goes down on strikes but he really made that guy in the mound work for it. And when you're doing that in the first inning it can have an effect on how deep he's going to be able to go into this start. There's a big difference between that and going down on three or four pitches and that'll bring up Miguel and Doohar popped him up. Severino is under it and the inning is over. So the Yanks go one two three still no score. All set for the start of the inning and standing in is the DH. Renato Nunez. First pitch of the at bat on its way. A ball and no strikes. This is a fastball that's right on the black but ruled a ball. It's two and oh now. Loud contact there but it's well foul. Hitters count now. Here's the two and one and a change up here but that's taken low in the dirt for a ball. Hey I know the idea is to try to get the guy to swing on a two to pitch right but that one was so low I don't know anybody that would have swung at that pitch and that misses for ball four so it's a lead off walk here to start the second the third baseman Alberto coming to the plate now Hanser Alberto and he's a guy looking to break out in a big way. He hasn't been getting the results he or his club have been hoping for. Nuffle Kirk down below the knees one and all. No strike still looking for our first hit in the ball game. Count even now with one and one has a look now the pitch. Sometimes you got to be aggressive offensively but sometimes you just let the pitcher dig his own grave. Patience and discipline seem to be the way to go right here. One pitch flying toward the alley and left center that gets down and he's got himself a base hit only has some trouble with it. They keep rolling here their runners at the corners with still nobody out. The left field number twenty five Anthony Santander Anthony Santander the next to bat as the first pitch misses to him. It's ball one to an ode to the Baltimore left fielder. It's a lot easier to hit when you're putting yourself in good hitters counts this guy's done a great job not swinging at pitchers pitches. And when he's getting the ball in his own he's getting the barrel to it. He's been hot lately two and one. That's a pitch he'd like to have back. You're not going to see very many pitches like that from a pitcher of this quality. I'm sure he'd like to have that one back to take a swing at it and that's upstairs running the count to three and one couldn't be a whole lot better situation to hit it now three and one to one. He's got to be thinking he's going to get a pitch. He can drive right here hitters count all the way here it comes in the air now after left field catches made. Here comes the runner from third or easily as the Orioles are off to a one nothing lead got his job done there and made it look pretty simple got it into the outfield to bring home the first run of the game and pick up the RBI. Striding into the box Austin Hayes as he'll get his first opportunity in this one from the belt the pitch. No balls in a strike to count way inside with that one a pretty easy take there ball in two strikes. Hey you know the pitcher right now he's looking for that best friend that double play ball. This is where you have to really be disciplined at the plate and make sure that you get a pitch that's above the knees in the air. The one to this pitch is popped up and he'll put this one away in foul territory for the second now with the play Pedro Severino takes his first cuts in this one with a man at first and two away he's set and the pitch in there strike one. Yeah he made up his mind early to take the first pitch because that thing was right down the middle. Oh one pitch on its way this one's outside quite a bit off the plate that time and are in the right center. That's a base hit and that runner will go no further than second as there are two aboard now. No mistake when he was sitting on the fastball middle of the plate kept his hands back stayed through the baseball and delivers a hard hit line drive. Here's Chris Davis now line hard but foul comes set. The 0 1 OK it's the fastball by him here and he's in control 0 and 2 Orioles out to an early 1 nothing lead here in inning number 2 change up and he ain't buying it 1 and 2. Well that's a smart miss there. Sometimes guys will chase it down there especially when they're in protect mode on an 0 and 2 count a swing and a miss as he chased with two strikes and that will retire the side. It's a run on two hits here for Baltimore. We'll go to the bottom half of ending number two. The Orioles are on top one to nothing. Gary Sanchez really thrives in the batter's box here at home Gary to keep an eye on in this one. Infield in the over shift here now the pitch wind up and the 0 1 1 and 2. Your eyes light up from the offensive side playing in a hitters park like this have to get the ball up to do some damage. I'm not mad at that tape. A swing and a miss on a ball way out of the zone and there's one away. I think his mind made up. He was swinging the bat trying to protect before the ball even left the pitchers. That pitch wasn't even close. He would have needed a flagpole to hit that one. At the plate Mike Tuckman as he'll take one up in the zone but indeed in the strike zone for the first strike comes in here right at two sixty five homers 18 driven in into the wind up. Here comes the 0 and 1 bases are empty one man out no offer on that one two balls in a strike. Wojachowski isn't really known as the kind of starter that goes deep into games. It's not that he isn't capable I'm sure he just hasn't been that guy that works deep into games with regularity. Matty V. I'm not sure it's this guy's fault but I think it's more of the fault of the metrics and the way we look at pitchers now trying to limit the number of pitches and the number of appearances they have with particular guys in the lineup three one count full three balls and two strikes the three two pitch. This is hit the other way out toward left field chasing after this Santander. He gets there and makes the play for the second out of the inning. The second baseman. DJ. Love. Bayhue. And that sends DJ LaMahue into the box comes off an offer for an last night's ball game. Here comes the first pitch and he takes a cold strike 0 and 1. He's had some success so far but he's going to need to continue to throw strikes early on in the zone because the more they see this guy sooner or later they're going to figure him out and he watches one dip low and inside for a ball one and one bases are empty here with two men out liner towards second. But this will be pulled in out there at second base and that'll be that one two three go the bombers. They trail this one one to nothing. So it's back to the top of the order now and that'll bring up the shortstop Jose Iglesias. Jose Iglesias. He's ready. Here's the first offering upper part of the zone there but taken for a strike. And this is taken. It's a ball and a strike now to the Baltimore shortstop curveball as he's got to lean out of the way that one nearly got him sometimes it can be difficult for a pitcher you're facing a guy that's not known to be a big stick in the lineup. Sometimes the toughest thing is to be aggressive and throw strikes two balls and two strikes now here now the two two out in front of a fastball as this is ripped down the left field line that's going to be a fair ball. Now that second base. So now to the plate Ramon Urayas as the first pitch to him is in there for a cold strike one Urayas the native of Mexico. He's in his rookie year here at the big league level comes set and the 0 1 0 1 with no outs here a bullet to first base tries to dance back into the bag not in time to double off the runner now that right field right man. One guy in the inning here with the runner at first and that'll bring up the power hitting outfielder Trayman seen about the pitch line hard down the line and right but this will land foul as he didn't miss by much. Here's one that misses high it's one in one runner at first year one man out two balls in a straight swing and a liner foul a 58 foot curveball that misses for a ball. We could see the runner in motion here on a three two count with one out. There's a pretty good chance he's going to get a pitch to swing it and if not it's ball for anyways still hanging with him another good swing to keep it going three two one more time a swing and a shot hit down the corner and foul though it had the homerun distance. You know taking you inside the mind of a batter right here you can't get an auto swing mode you still have to control the strike zone and this one misses here a close pitch on three and two but Clyde Washington rules it ball for man that's just painful for a pitcher right there a three two offering that was right on the corner but he couldn't get him to chase and he doesn't get the call can't beat yourself up about that with too much. Two men are on with one man out and digging in next at the play will be Renato Nunez ready to deliver here's the first pitch lifts it into the air to shallow center Gardner comes on now and makes the catch in shallow center for round number two. Now that third baseman Alberto ready for another chance Hanser Alberto two on two out for him here in the third first offering on its way. Now a swing and a fly ball. Well may here in foul ground but no chance to run it down. It's a foul ball comes set the 0 1 1 strike 1 and 2 now. Yeah you could tell he was ready for another fastball but the pitcher went to breaking ball and the hitter just fouls that one off push to the right side and the two out threat will not come to pass as the inning is over so it's no runs on a hit no errors in two men left on we'll move on to the bottom of ending number three the O's lead this thing one to nothing and that'll bring up Tyler waved at seven eight and nine to start the home third not much going on offensively so far for these guys six up six down to see if the bottom part of the lineup can get something going. Well the home crowd seems a little useless so I'm sure they'd appreciate it. First pitch coming here it is. This is on the ground over the first and he'll take it to the bag himself for the out batting. The designated hitter number twenty nine in now is the Yankees D.H. Geo or Shella first at bat for him as he enters play third in the American League batting race. There's no way you could have forecasted this kind of season from this guy not to take it away from him. But I don't think many people in baseball considered him to be one of the league's best hitters for average coming into this year. Here's the first pitch slider that just tails out of the zone it's ball one two and oh it on the ground down the first baseline and he'll take it to the bag himself for the out batting done the first base man Mike so coming to the plate Mike Ford you'll take his first cuts here pitch on the way run about halfway there but it's a called strike regardless grounded up the first baseline and Davis will take this one himself to retire the side. So the Yankees go one two three it remains one nothing start of the fourth upcoming but first Heidi Watney is standing by with a report that I had a chance to discuss the state of the Orioles offense with the Yankees. And overall he's really happy with the out bats they're putting together. He said it feels like every time they've made contact it's been hard contact and the numbers certainly back that up in total. They've hit an amazing 10 line drives in this game alone. And while some of those have resulted in outs its consistency that has this coaching staff feeling really good about what they're seeing right now. The left field. OK. Thank you. Ready to deliver here's the first pitch Anthony Santander is in for his second plate appearances he looks at a ball it's one and oh count now a ball in a strike you're lucky if you get one pitch a night right down the middle cannot be laid on that fastball the one one this is hit sharply to the left side a leap but he can't bring it down base hit now that the center field Austin Austin Hayes the next to bat as the first pitch to him is off the plate for a ball one or no comes into this at bat Oh for one in the ballgame swing and a miss one and one grounder down the line at third and Doha fields it cleanly on the first and it's a double playing the second they've hit into in these first four innings and there are two away now the captain number twenty eight Pedro Severino Pedro Severino digs in at the plate of base hit in his first trip the pitch breaking ball below the zone that's ball one one run four hits and no errors for the Orioles so far it's a high fly ball headed for the left field corner if it stays fair it's gone but it bends just foul into the second deck and the pitch on that fastball too much for him there one and two hey he's got great feel for that pitch right there he can throw it any time he wants for a strike the one two misses for the second ball and he founds this one off try it to two right side but it's going to be a foul ball good battle here this will be the seventh pitch coming up still even at two and two hey three foul balls in a row right here searching for that put away stuff the two two one more time is swung on and missed he got him for yields held in check there but they're on top one to nothing here's Brett Gardner now back to the top of the lineup as they're still looking for the first base winner in this one no doubt about that they've yet to figure this guy out on the mound great so far he has but we'll see if this second trip through the order changes anything yeah it'll be interesting to see what kind of adjustments these hitters are able to make in the middle innings of this game now pitch on the way rock solid performance up to this part of the ballgame right now one of the keys 90% of his first pitches have been for strikes and when you do that you really make the hitters swing at the pitch you want them to swing at lying hard but now a swing and a ball popped in the air back behind short there to take it as the sure handed Iglesias one away the right fielder number 90 down Aaron here with the base is empty and that'll bring up the big bat of Aaron judge here comes the first pitch strike take in as that one catches the outer part of the play swing and a ground ball to the third on the Davis at first and there are two away now batter the third baseman Miguel and do hard so two are gone now in the Yankee half of the fourth and striding into the plate that'll be Miguel and do hard first pitch of the at bat on its way not close with the off speed pitch taken for a ball Yankee still on the lookout for hit number one here look like the fastball got away from in there it's ball two the two on the way now here's a bouncing ball headed through Iglesias at short throw on to Davis takes care of him and that'll end the inning one two three go to bombers there down one nothing all ready to go in the top of the fifth and up next the left handed power bat of Chris David infield shifted well to the right here's the first pitch the wind up and the 01 some action out in the bullpen couple of right handers starting to loosen up now a swing and a miss and he's behind one and two had to sit back on the change up and he did a good job to get the bat on that one I know we found that pitch off right there but he was definitely out in front he was cheating to a heater no question about it a knuckle curve there and he thought he had him but it's two and two what a great battle to start this inning what a great job by the lead off hitter he knows that this pitcher starting to get up there in pitches the manager starting to get restless let's see if we can knock him out and get into that bullpen good battle count remains full finally just wear him down as this one swung on and missed for the first out with how hard guys throw these days 94 miles an hour is good but not as impressive as it used to be professional hitters can catch up with that so it's all about setting the fastball up with good off speed stuff to make it look more effective and that's exactly what he did right there. Stepping in now. Jose Iglesias did high and deep out to straight away left left fielder looking up at the track. The wall. See you later over the wall a home run a solo shot here to left fourth home run for him on the season as the Orioles are now out to a two nothing lead. When you're facing an elite starter you know runs are going to be at a premium. I don't know if this shakes to starters confidence but you know what it does. It certainly boosts the confidence of the guys in your lineup. Now about it. At the plate now Ramon Urayas as the first pitch here's a bit high it's ball one. No hits to this point. The one oh one in one the count fouled away the one two 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. Here now the two two. Swung on and missed strike three. Yes they say there's a hole in his swing in that location so a good job there of exploiting that that can be real hard for some guys to overcome when teams start figuring out what locations you just can't handle. So here's Trayman Cini. This he'll take a look at a pitch too low it's ball one. He's all for one thus far they foul ball one and one two runs five hits and no errors for the Orioles so far and this ball runs away for ball two two and one looks like this guy's afraid to throw the ball in the strike so gave up that home run earlier in the inning needs to get back to being aggressive. Not an easy pitch to lay off of but he did somehow and he's got it to three and one. Well it's a pretty well known fact that your batting average goes up as you get into more favorable hitters counts and that's especially true when we're talking about this kind of hitter not a great spot to be in if you're the pitcher ready to deliver the full count pitch and this one misses here a close pitch on three and two but Clyde Washington rules it ball four so that's the second walk he's worked in this one. Yeah that seems to be a popular approach when this guy steps in he can really hurt you with one swing so I think the idea is mostly not to let this one guy beat you Matt. Here comes the Yankee manager now up out of the dugout on his way to the mound and we're going to see a pitching change is that's going to do it for his starter here tonight so he'll depart here in the fifth after working just four and two thirds and he's on the hook for the L unless this one turns out Jonathan Holder takes over here with the runner at first and two gone in the inning number fifty six Jonathan Ronaldo Nunez would be the first to greet him here as he stands in with the runner at first and two away from the belt the pitch ball hit high and foul down the left field line at strike one got him to swing out of his shoes on that one nothing in two. Wow what makes it so tough to be a hitter is be able to hitting changes speeds right. You're geared up for the fast ball all of a sudden he pulls the string and throws you the straight change the dreaded equalizer and I went to he misses with the fastball. Well try to throw a high fastball right by him there didn't work but now we'll see if that sets up some different options wouldn't be surprised to see a good slider down in a way right here. The 1 2 misses ball to well two straight fastballs inside haven't put him away. So now it'll be interesting to see what he turns to here now the 2 2 fouled off. He's set. Here's the 2 2 swing and a miss and that ends the inning one in the inning and it comes from a rather unlikely power source bottom of the fifth coming up. It's now 2 nothing Baltimore welcome back to the Bronx as we check in with Heidi. Thanks Matt. I talked with the Yankees after Aaron Boone during the break about the team's offensive performance so far and he told me overall he's not happy with the at bats they're putting together. They haven't had a single guy on base yet. So it's starting to feel a little desperate down here. But he said they've unfortunately just been faced with some really great pitching today. The key going forward is to find any way they can to get him out of his rhythm on the mound. Now that may be a tall task but they feel the little adjustments could leave it turning away. Here comes the first pitch swing and a shot hit down the corner nearly a big fly to start the inning instead of foul ball 0 1. Here's the pitch a swinging strike and now it's 0 and 2. I know that feeling played 14 years in the big leagues and still can't hit a slider and a big cut at the breaking ball but he comes up empty and that's the first out. Now that plate Mike Tuckman fly down in his first half bat so make it over one so far here's the pitch good fast ball as he gets the swing and a miss expect the guy on the mound to keep attacking his own. He wants a quick inning so he won't be nibbling into the wind up here comes the 0 and 1 hold toward right center field Mancini is in his tracks now and that's out number two now batter the second baseman DJ here's the second baseman DJ here two away in the inning and then it looks like this could be another one two three inning form. Yeah he has really found a groove on the mound and it's been impressive to watch it'll be interesting to see how long he can keep this dominance up. Here's the pitch this guy's got to be pretty proud of what he's done so far. It's never easy to pitch on the road but to have this kind of outing in a ballpark that is notoriously known as being hitter friendly. It's been a treat to watch and he misses with it one and one two out nobody on one one pitch is a curve ball that misses ball to swing and he pops him up and nope this one falls so he'll get another shot. It's going to be back to some serious T work if he can't put that pitch in play right in his wheelhouse a swing and a miss as he chased with two strikes and that will retire the side. So the Yanks go one two three they're down two to nothing and digging into the batter's box will be Hanzer Alberto. He said to lead us off in the sixth inning Alberto first delivery to him on the way to short fielded cleanly throw to first gets him so the leadoff man's retired here to the next the left user number twenty five Anthony Santander ready for another shot now Anthony Santander as the switch hitter will take his cuts left handed here. This is somewhat of a cause for concern. This guy needs to hit better left handed against right handed pitching a ball of no strikes bottom part of the zone to good change up gets the call one one a swing and a drive sent out toward the gap Gardner going back but he can't get it as it's off the wall and he is in at second base with a one out double and he obviously didn't work last night's hit this out and get to his head too much because that's his second hit of the ballgame this one a double. I'm sure he's feeling a lot better about the way he's going right now. Standing in now Austin Hayes shall take a look at a slider here that misses for the ball one 0 4 2 for him to this point he's ready. Here's the 1 0 and this is sliced foul into the stands in right out of play and it misses they got him with the slider there to a way. Good job of making him chase a pitch for the strike out there. Yeah man that's the advantage we're getting ahead in account. You can really force hitters to expand their zone to protect and when they're in that mode getting them to go after a pitch they can't do much with becomes a lot easier to the plate now. He's going to keep the game close. Here's the pitch hit in the air out to left field and he'll get there in plenty of time to put this one away and that ends the inning Orioles leave one as they're unable to add to their two nothing lead here to go for the last half of the inning and coming forward now is the shortstop that's your way. Things not looking very good in the first half of the inning. They're down by a couple of runs and this would be the right place in the right time to get something going. The last thing they want to do is to try to come from behind and win this one in the eighth or ninth inning. And I believe they'll say he broke the plane as yes he did. It's ruled a strike. Yankee shortstop behind in the count one and two. Here's a curveball looked at strike three called and that's the first out of the inning. And that's the first out of the inning. The bat. Digging in to try it again. Gilles shella. He got on top of one and was a ground down victim last time. First pitch coming. Here it is. One shot hit down the corner. And that nearly would have gotten him on the board. Instead it's a long foul ball. No. Outside two and one big sweeping breaking ball right there. And that's the first hit. Big sweeping breaking ball right there. Good pitch. But if he wants to get him to swing at it he'll have to bring it in a little bit closer to the strike zone on the third baseline. But this will wind up a foul ball two and two and the pitch a swing and a miss he offered at a ball way outside the strike zone for out number two two up two down on strikes in this inning. He looks really sharp out there guys. Play Mike Ford. And he'll take a look at ball one. He'll attempt to put the ball in play for a change here with the first two guys going down on strikes to start the inning on our home. A ball and a strike now. One one. The bouncer to the left side throw on to first gets him and the side is retired one two three go to bombers. They trail it here two to nothing. Tommy Kingley is on to pitch from the bullpen now to start ending number seven. Number forty eight. Tommy Kingley seventh inning ready to roll and set to go as the veteran first baseman Chris Davis number nineteen Chris David becomes set. Here's the nothing and nothing pitch. Come on started in with the change and it's nothing in one eighty eight on a change up. I remember when in eighty eight Mount our fastball wasn't all that bad. Man the game's changing. Two balls and a strike to the Orioles first baseman 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 the two one and a slider runs in on him as he has to lean out of the way. Every baser and a close game like this really matters so you can't afford to be giving out free passes this late. Bouncer to the left side going and eats him up a bit and the throw on the first will take care of him so he's thrown out by the only man standing on the left side of the infield one away. Well if you're going to bobble a ball you have to hope it's when a guy is lumbering down the base pass he's no speedster so that was a good job to stay calm and make the recovery throw. So the batting order turns over now and set to go Jose Iglesias there was a solo shot for him in his last at bat and I'm sure as he strides to the plate right here he's certainly got to have a little bit more confidence but that's not his game. He's got to get back to what makes him successful put back to baseball and try and drive something right back up the middle liner but picked up on a hop and there aren't two away now now that second baseman Rogan Uriah. So striding forward now Ramon Uriah's no hits in three tries so far. He's struck out once. Here's the first pitch to him Oh Keenley 30 years of age. He was selected in the first round back in the draft of 2013. Yeah. Matty they certainly got it right when they drafted this guy. He has turned himself into an absolute superstar. Everybody knows this guy's name and kids are buying his jerseys up around the letters with that one for ball to bases are empty here with two men out lifted down the line and left in comes the left fielder. He can't get there as it falls in. Count leverage right there sitting dead red fastball and he didn't miss it. Nice swing right there driving it into the outfield for a knock. And here's the big right handed power threat Trey Mancini he swings and hits it foul off to the right and out of play couple of walks for him thus far. Waved at missed and he's behind 0 and 2 nothing in two count and the pitch and he comes back with a fastball strike three call and the ending is over. One left for the Orioles but they hold it to nothing lead. So here's the veteran Brett Garger for the Yankees. We're moving right along into this one as we head into the late innings. Listen if you want to score her you're going to have to bunch some hits together and they haven't been able to do that so far. So hopefully this lead off guy this would be the right guy at the right spot to get something going. Some activity out in the bullpen now as a couple of left handers begin to stir his wind up. Here comes the 1 0 2 and 0. Now it's fouled away to the wind up. Here's the 2 1 1 pitch. Yeah well down to you better believe they gladly take a lead off walk right here. Anything to get a base runner on and get that tie run to the plate and the perfect game will go by the wayside here as this pitch misses for ball four. Man that's a tough one to swallow here. Another slim lead and the last thing you want to do is give up a lead off walk. Seems like those are the ones that always come back to haunt you. So we'll see if that's the case here. So a runner at first now with nobody out and that'll bring up the former American League rookie of the year. Big Aaron judge from the stretch well hit deep down the right field line and a big sigh of relief on the mound is that nearly tight it but this ball is foul and he takes this one high one and one that fastball really got away from them there. That's kind of a red flag for me that he's starting to tire or wear down a little bit. The first thing that goes is location and then your mechanics will see if this continues now with throw over and a dive but he's back in there. Now he gets on top of one here and chops it foul right at home plate draw even at two and two. So you'd love for him to offer at that one but the execution was flawless nice curveball that starts in the zone and breaks just out just a great take by the batter and he strikes him out here. So that's out number one here in the seventh as he continues to keep him out of the hit column. That was some nice execution on that now that spotted nicely down around the bottom of the zone and when you do that especially with two strikes not a lot of guys are going to hurt you. You're going to get a lot of ground balls and swings and misses down there. Here's Miguel and a hard now but this is hauled in by the second baseman. Now Patty get her Gary Sanchez to play Gary Sanchez offer to from him so far in this one. First pitch coming here it is and that misses for ball one to out with the man at first hit in the air to center field and Hazel make the catch this side is retired the Yankees leave one there still down it's to nothing but he says up and someone from the bullpen is he'll do so to start the eighth number eight by Louis new winning shot to get underway digging in next at the plate will be Renato Nunez Renato he's ready. Here's the first offering good slider there but laid off and called the ball low and that gets the black on the outside a good slider that time from the wind up the one one pitch. Oh look like he was towing an anchor there one and two he's gone to the well with that pitch three times in a row. I'm interested to see if he changes it up right here. There's a shin high slider laid off for a ball. Look out a fastball up near his dome and that'll wake you up a bit. Well that'll wake everyone up anytime you buzz the tower like that there's reason for people to start getting a little bit edgy. And he fouls this one off the next three to skied in the air to straight away left Tuckman has him played perfectly as he puts it away for out number one. Now that is the third base in Hunter Alberto. In now for the owns Hanser Alberto. He was retired via the ground ball last time up first pitch on its way and some action out in the Yankee bullpen now as a right hander starts to loosen up one out nobody on strike two swinging just out in front of the slider. Man it's a pitcher you have to love pitching oh to multiple ways up down in and out throw the breaking ball a lot of different ways to get guys out. Nothing in two count and the pitch and this is swung on and miss two are quickly retired to start ending number eight. 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 strike out. He offered the same pitch three times in a row so I guess he sort of used that reverse psychology to outthink his opponent into the box. Anthony Santander batting left handed here as he takes a look at strike one two hits in two trips more and thus far the wind up and the 0 1 check swing but he held up in time. Bowl one one ball one strike one ball and two strikes to count the 1 2 2 out nobody on pulled toward right center field. Gardner is there and that retires the side three up three down for the Orioles. They're up 2 to nothing off the inning. They'll need him to get something going here even though we're moving into the back into this game. They're only down by a couple of runs. You know that old slogan a bloop in a blast. They could certainly use that right now. Hopped up Iglesias has a play one away. Every pitcher loves to get quick outs right. That could be one pitch one out a pop up to start the inning. Hey Hugh stepping in and ready for another shot. DJ LeMay here. His dominance continues on the mound but it seems like he might be running on adrenaline only at this point. Yeah he's been so great in this one. You want to see him finish what he started but you also have to start worrying about things like injuries. He's thrown a lot of pitches in this one and some guys are just more capable of that than others but not a lot of good things tend to happen when you've worked as hard as he has in this one. Santander will range to his left as he tracks this one down in left center for the second out of the inning. We're getting into the nitty gritty. That's the second out of the eighth inning in the pitcher only four more outs for a no hitter. So digging in now Tyler Wade it's been an 0 for 2 effort for him to this point. First pitch of the at bat bases are empty here with two men out deep down the right field line and nearly into the hit column in a big way instead it's a foul ball one one. And when a guy starts leaving the curve ball up that's a sign he's beginning to tire a little bit out there. He's got to be able to get on top of that pitch or he's going to start getting hurt. And he just misses inside with the fastball there. That's lifted the other way out to left. Santander grabs it to retire the side. So he's through eight innings now and he'll sit to prepare for one last hurrah. We played eight full the Orioles lead it two to nothing. The oldest Chapman comes on to walk now and he's their usual closer but this is obviously not a save opportunity. 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 could keep him sharp and give him the chance to pitch in a real game situation here. Here comes the first pitch Austin Hayes is in to start things off as he looks at a ball to start the inning one and all right hander starts to loosen out in the bullpen now on our home popped up Ford is there one quick out to start inning number nine now batting catcher Pedro Severino into the box Pedro Severino he's working on a one for three thus far ready to deliver here's the first pitch that was some gas triple digits on the radar gun. That's about a pitcher getting the benefit of the doubt that's low but called to strike anyway nothing in two now too well executed pitches at the knees right there but I know this hitters looking for something up a ball and two strikes to the Baltimore backstop now Stole cold take right there that fastball very well could have sent him packing back to the bench and now a slider in there for a called third strike and there are two pitchers in there and he's not going to feel good about that at batting or should he ever you have to want to swing to bat but he just stood there and looked at four straight pitches hopefully we'll see him get a little bit more aggressive next time. Chris Davis hit the plate now as he lay off a slider to low ball one. He's hit listen three at backs to this point played perfectly as it's hit on the ground. Oh and he can't come up with it. Throw the first to get him to three three go the Orioles as they're unable to add to their two nothing lead in Giovanni Urschella. He started out for two so far the designated hitter. Number one first offering on its way on the ground to the left side Alberto fields at play late and the ending begins with a quick out number one the bat the first base play Mike Ford. He's rolled in the ground out a couple of times already here in the ballgame pitch coming. Here it is bases are empty one man breaking ball and a beauty that time one and two. Well he's done a real nice job with that breaking ball in this start. That's not the first time he's locked the guy up with it and it's two balls and two strikes now. Fuck him out. So now just one man stands between he and his no hitter this guy is really now playing a good old fashioned hardball right now. Just going back and letting it go. And it seems like this lineup they don't have an answer for anything he's bringing so far Stepping in now Brett Gardner as he'll look at a fastball too high for ball one. He's over two in the ballgame so far ball in a strike. You have to find a way in this situation to look in that on deck circle and find a way to get your best hitter to play with a chance to tie it. The one in one pitch fastball misses in the dirt as he tried to get him to chase the low one to run game last of the ninth with two away three and one now to Brett Gardner. Well this is a big pitch right here two outs in the ninth the last thing you want to do is walk a guy and bring the tying run to the play three one pitch. This one misses for ball four and the Yankees get a base runner here with two away. That is just a great at bat there when you're down like you need base runners any way you can get them and never say dive mentality could be the difference. We'll see how it plays out and that'll bring up Aaron judge and after that quick walk is it fair to wonder if this starter is beginning to show signs of getting tired. Yeah that could be the case Matty sometimes you just lose your focus lose your command but it'll be real important for him to get it back as this next hitter walks up to the plate. Here it comes all over that one but a little out in front foul ball. I think for every player for every former player that swing right there is the reason we need to extend the netting without Western want the fans to be safe. One and one the count now one and one pitch down low two balls in a strike how the two one run first with two away. Last chance for the Yankees to pitch the handle as this ball is hit high in the air and deep and folks this ball game is a two run shot to left center and we are tied again outside of a walk off home or it doesn't get any better than getting your boys right back into this one. They got a chance to win this with that one swing of the bat. Here comes the Baltimore skipper out of the dugout on his way to the mound and it looks as though that's going to be all for his starter here tonight. He won't get a decision in this one but except for a few mistakes he pitched pretty well here this evening. Sean Armstrong takes the ball needed to get the final out of the ninth to send this one to extra innings. Sean Armstrong now batting third base man into the box now. Miguel on new home as the first pitch to him has taken the loan away for one who could really use a knock here 0 for three in the game so far the set and the 1 0 swing and he pops him up. But this a land untouched the 1 1 in hustling for second in the second base. He's got a two out double. That's a nice piece of hitting right there. Two out base knock to put the winning one on base. Let's see if someone can catch a gap and end this play. Gary Sanchez he's gone hitless to this point. Not a great game up to this point but none of that would matter if he could come through right here a chance to be the hero. And it looks like they'd rather go after the next guy's the attentional walk signal comes here with two away now settling in now. 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. This time now that he has to put the rest of those bats behind him because none of that matters if he could clutch up when it really counts. Here's the first pitch. Oh 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. Popped him up. Alberto is there and no problem with that one as we are headed for extra innings and stepping in as the veteran shortstop. Jose Iglesias. Hey it's never easy scoring runs against a closer but this lineup is setting up perfectly right now as the leadoff hitter leads off this inning. First pitch of the inning is taken downstairs for a ball. It's 1 0 2 2 0 count the pitch is laid off but in there for strike one. Iglesias in front three and one Ramon Urayas will be next lifted down the line in left and this will wind up a foul ball. Here comes the payoff pitch hit in the air to center field. Gardner is there looks at into his glove and there's one gone. Now batter the second baseman Ramon Urayas. Now in the box Ramon Urayas he comes into this appearance in the midst of a one for four day. He's ready. Here's the first offering fastball well outside. He gets wins and misses that falls up and out of his zone he's going to continue to go there foul tip that's held onto at the plate and the count moves to one and two now. This hitter right now looks overmatched with a fastball. I think you go right back to it. Now here's the pitch. Nobody on good swing on a tough pitch and he'll stick around to see another one. Lucky he got a piece right there. He was definitely laid on that pitch after seeing a previous off speed pitch. Perfect start to the 10th here two up and two down. Well we'll see a lot of these power arms coming out of the board 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 now to the plate Trey Mancini and she will look at a first pitch fastball for ball one. No hits to this point and a strike to even the count one and one boy this guy comes out of the pen he loves coming in spots like this tight situations. This is exactly the type of game that he loves to come into hit the other way out toward right field judges under it and that retires the side nothing doing here this half. So 1 0 win it here as we go to the bottom of any number 10 and we are tied 2 2. Stepping in the main step in trying to do something about this 2 2 time. Love they hear. Here's the pitch too much bite on the breaking ball that time as it's well off the outside movement in the Orioles bullpen now as they've got a left hander up and throwing great case of a manager sticking up for his picture right there and giving that umpire an earful. He didn't get that pitch called the way he wanted it to. But the manager is planting a seed in an umpire's mind to try to expand the strike zone. So some of those borderline pitches start to go this pitch as well. To the right center Hayes on the run for it and he tracks it down. Nice play for the first down. Now that at the plate Tyler Lee. He flew out his last at bat way stretch. Here's the pitch and two strikes now. I think it's about time to choke up on that bat and get that foot down. He's awfully tardy right now 1 2. Swung on and missed. He got him on strikes. It's always nice to keep a guy that has good wheels off base and that's just what they did right there. Big strikeout. Keep that guy off the base path. Plate now. Geo or Shella. She'll take a look at a high strike that time. It's nothing in one. He's hitless in three at bats to this point. One offering to out nobody on and he gets him to go after 1 0 2 as this is popped in the air toward the left side of the infield. Alberto is there to make the catch and that means we've got more baseball ahead. So the Yanks go 1 2 3 score remains 2 2 11 thinning set to get underway and digging in next at the plate will be Renato Nunez. Renato first pitch to him and a sliders in the dirt as he lays off it for a ball just off the outside that time laid off for a ball popped him up for ranging into shallow right. He's there and reports the first down Striding in Hanser Alberto who looked to bounce back after striking out his last time up. First pitch of the at bat on its way. Now a check swing but he holds up in time. Ball one and to swing at a pitch below the knees one to one. You have to find a way to lay off that low sinker. There is just no way to do any damage. You're just looking at either a bruised shin or a ground out to the left side. One two is laid off for ball two in the zone. It's gone full now to three and two. That's where he wants that sinker to end up. But that was a nice job of laying off 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 an extra innings. He didn't try to win the thing by himself or be a hero. He just patiently worked it bad until he earned the walk. We'll see if his teammates can pick him up now. Digging in the switch hitter Anthony Santander has won away the runner at first represents the potential go ahead score. Double play is in order however and he runs that one high and tight for ball one fastball down around the knees there taken for a strike. Possible go ahead runs on first one away one and two now is that one's fouled off and look out is that one ran in and got him. Man that's going to drive the manager insane. He loses control of his release point and now the go ahead run moves 90 feet closer to scoring he's going to have to make some good pitches now to get out of this. Britain will come on in relief now as he'll make his 35th appearance of the season. Number 53 that Britain Austin Hayes his day at the plate hasn't amounted to much 0 4 4 but this is a great opportunity to make a man. Well your team really needs you like they need it right here. You have to be able to put your personal struggles out of your mind right now is all that matters. Here's the first pitch. There's a swing and a drive hit well out to right field judge back to the track as he takes it for route number two the catcher number 28 Pedro Severino digging in Pedro Severino he got called out on strikes his last time through yeah Matty and hopefully he got it out of his system especially now he's got a bear down he gets the two strikes in this spot has to put the ball in play one ball no strikes to count down runners at first and second can't sit back long enough and the count evens up at one and one time to start making some quality pitches he finds himself in a tough spot behind an account with guys on base and this is that look like self defense there it's two and two in a big spot like this you have to be looking for something you can handle that pitch bunched him up completely so I think he's trying to do a little bit too much right now he strikes him out here for out number three so after a scoreless top half they'll have a chance to win it here in the bottom half so no runs here no hits no errors and two left it's getting late one run can win it as we move to the bottom of the 11th and we are tied to two tenor Scott takes over now to start the home 11th and he's looking to get this one to the visiting 12 your head to grab a bat to pitch in here and you wonder if he'll be swinging for the downs trying to walk off for the victory 289 is the average coming in 14 homers and 32 driven in oh we can't get out of the way of that one so the lead off man will be on to open the frame and this is a case of a guy taking one but 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 now back to the top of the lineup stepping in Brett Gardner the winning run is at first base here's the first pitch trying to get that go ahead run to scoring position now as he puts this one down to Iglesias for one the white another high degree of difficulty play you see the off balance row the second base and he couldn't get a lot on it but they did get the out here's big Aaron judge 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 yeah that last at that daddy he turned that fastball run he didn't hit it a tiny didn't hit it a country mile but hey listen a home run is a home run out in front there is this one's pulled off to the left side in there now the throw not in time as he steals second and it's a ballman two strikes not Aaron judge the one and two pitch too much dip on the sinker laid off for a ball he misses to run it for now three and two Wow this is a pretty good at that right here from down in account 0 and 2 to work the count back to 3 and 2 and he's seen a lot of pitches to the three and two pitch chose clearer than anything that some guys they they have that clutch gene and some guys just don't he brings home the winning run from second in his being absolutely mobbed by his teammates what a finish everyone was treated to a really well played ballgame in this one and the guy you see there turned in a particularly notable performance so he's our top's player of the game in this one three to two the finish in tonight's game New York claimed the victory despite being held to only three hits Zach Britton wins his fourth game out of the bullpen this year so that just about does it for Mark DeRosa Dan please act Heidi Watney and our entire crew I'm Matt Vaskers and you've been watching MLB the show for more make your way over to the show nation.com
