 We are under the lights this evening as we get you set for another edition of baseball on the show coming up We've got a good matchup in store between the Detroit Tigers and the New York Yankees It's baseball on the show and it's coming up next Jonathan Luizaga gets the ball for the Yankees in this one. What do you have for us on him Danny? You know Matt He's looking to bounce back for a little bit better of a performance than his last one Pits less than five innings in his last one was able to come away with a no decision I think he and his team are expecting a lot more in this one Now at the plate Victor Reyes It's been a really slow start to the season for him as you can see by the April numbers on your screen Ray here's the first pitch to him First of three here on this Tuesday night as the game's first offering is taken for strike one And as the Yankees get started here tonight guys, they've had it go in the last ten games There's seven and three over that stretch including a win last time out. Yeah, Matty We had a saying in Texas hit or get left behind and that's exactly what this team did in their last game Scored a bunch of runs, but good approach at the plate working the ball to all gaps Line the line this team swung the bats well. I'm gonna be looking for that again this one Set to get his evening at the plate started Harold Castro batting just a notch below 300 so far on the season First pitch of the at-bat Lifted the other way out to left center left fielder is on the move Oh, and this deflects right off him He'll get it in the second and a good effort to bring it back in quickly But he's in its second base with a double The hurt this is the type of production they were expecting for this guy when he came to the majors a couple of years back He looks really at ease at the plate in that relaxed wing is getting some really good results good example on that double They're always great to see a young player blossoming Coming to the plate now Miguel Cabrera as he'll get his first opportunity in this one. He's set here It comes and a called strike down in the zone nothing in one Castro leads off second with one gun in the inning a ball and a strike to Miguel Cabrera One and one pitch down the third base line But a foul ball one and two the count now Swung on in the dirt strike three and he makes the throw the first Retired to down now That was a nice job by his battery mate John to complete the plate first after the ball hit the dirt So that'll bring up Jonathan scope runner in scoring position with two guns ready with the first pitch here it comes Come set the 01 Pretty good pitch right there fastball in off the plate One of the things you want to do as a pitcher try to stand those hitters up high fastball is in there So let's take a peek at our umpire and crew in this one working the plate is Larry Bullard. Hey Dero Larry Bullard He's pretty much right down the middle. You see very few managers and players getting into very many Confrontations with Larry. Yeah, Larry lays in the weed stand doesn't try and make a swing and a miss that Retires the side and that will do it One left for Detroit Tigers nothing Yankees coming up. You're watching Major League Baseball on the show Michael Fulmer a right-hander from the Sooner State gets the starting assignment here What do we need to know here, Danny? Hey, you can't always judge a pitcher by the numbers I know the ERA is into the fours coming into this start But he's actually a pretty solid pitcher and every once in a while he can throw some decent games in there It's not easy have it in ERA under foreign baseball He's slightly over that. This guy's a better pitcher than ERA indicates red stepping up now Gardner it'll leave things off here in the bottom half of the first now the pitch So guys these Tigers as they begin play here tonight They dropped another one last time out and in fact they've won just twice in their last eight tries Yeah, Maddie, you know as well as I do we were down there today on the field This team is kind of in a little bit of malaise They need to find a way to snap out of it tough homestand only able to squeak out one win This is a huge momentum game for this team the wind up and the O2 pitch And there's a slider strike three called and that'll be the first out of the inning That exact the second baseman DJ here his average coming into this one is just barely over 200 So he'll be looking to turn the page on a slow start here First pitch coming here it is Gonna be a long day if he executes like this punching tickets right out of the gate the 1-0 home Fly ball out toward left center field Reyes will range to his left as he tracks this one down in left center for the second out of the inning batting third the right fielder error John So bases are empty here with two gone and that'll bring up the former American League rookie of the year big Aaron judge First pitch of the at bat And he'll power in a fastball that time at 94 for strike one Hey, I know it's early and we're in the first right here But he's gonna have to work that heater to both sides of the plate He cannot get away with missing over the heart of the plate all night behind 0 and 2 now Nothing in two count and the pitch Waved at and missed for the third out not much of a chance at hitting that one in the inning is over One two three go to bombers and this is still a nothing-nothing ballgame Here's Cameron may been now. He looked to get something going here in this scoreless ball game Ready to deliver here's the first pitch a Shot down the first baseline this gets foul. It's oh and one now the pitch Mabin sometimes goes by the nickname slim He's currently on a one-year deal So he stands to be a free agent at the end of this season, you know Maddie I know he's in the final year of his contract, but he's playing to expectations to be honest with you I know he needs he wants to turn it up a little bit though as he approaches the end of this season and make that salary push As he heads towards free agency again all even now two and two round the third Scooped up go to first will be in time and there's one gone here to start the second Stepping into the box Austin Romain and he's looking to turn things around Ice cold at the plate in recent action first offering on its way No score here as we play any number two up top, it's two and oh three and oh now Kristen Stewart waits on deck three o pitch is taken strike one Bases are empty one man up Good breaking ball they're laid off for the second strike Full count still he takes strike three called on the fastball couldn't pull the trigger in there are two away Patty so bases are empty here with two gone and that means Kristen Stewart will dig in at the plate He's ready. Here's the first offering No offer at that point. It's a cold strike Two out nobody on there's a swing and a drive hit well out to right field Gone he finds the short porch for a homerun a solo shot here to straight away right field Home run number two for him on the year as the Tigers grab a one-to-nothing lead Well when it left it's bad I didn't think it had the height to even clear the fence shows you how much I know that thing was a laser shot That just kept going and going and going. Wow. That was impressive Patty And look like now Niko Goodrum He takes a cold strike on the black its own one and he's a guy looking to break out in a big way Hasn't been getting the results. He or his club have been hoping for Don't take there to lay off the high fastball Tiger shortstop with a ball and two strikes as Anticipated here's a ground ball now to the right side and board will take this one over to the bag and that ends the inning But the Tigers hit the board first on the strength of this solo homerun Onto the bottom of ending number two. It's now one-nothing Detroit Bottom of the inning now next will be the winner Gary Sanchez the catcher you'll get to take his first cuts here Now the pitch Swinging a ball lying down in the left field corner, but this is foul near the seats Into the wind up here comes the 0-1 Didn't quite catch the zone there ball one waves and misses for strike number two Two strikes neither guy willing to give in and the ad battle continue the one two Swung on and miss strike three Really good late bite on that slider right there the best ones have that late action that just darts at the last minute They're so tough to get the bat on and when you've got that good slider going. It's a great strikeout pitch Mike Tuckman Yes, he'll take a look at ball one One out nobody on a swing and a ground ball to third fielded cleanly on to first and there were two down batting thick the designated hitter labor Oh And that'll bring up Glaver Torres. He went two for four to close out Sunday series finale first pitch coming here it is Ball one wouldn't mind a pitcher expand in his own a little bit more and using his aggressiveness against them Bases are empty here with two men out Now a fastball runs inside and drills him. Oh, that's gotta hurt And I'm sure that Prevention can get for his pain is to find a way to come around to score We'll see if his guys can move him around the bases Striding in Geo or Shella and as you can see he's had some troubles here in his own ballpark That's something he'll look to improve upon in this one from the stretch. Here's the pitch Ground ball sent back up the middle. He's got it He'll go to scope a second for the force out and that ends the inning So it's no runs on no hits no errors and a runner left will go now to the top of the third It's the Tigers one and the Yankees nothing the next batter Jamer Candelaria and he'll start out there half of the third top of the order to follow In field in the over shift here now the pitch Ball one this at that sets up really good right here, right hasn't seen the fastball yet But now he gets to counted two balls and no strikes. He has to be looking for a fastball right here the 2-0 is Swung on missed in that strike one Boy, what a time to pull the string on him on 2-0. There's no way anyone's thinking change up So if you can locate it, that's pretty much unhittable Now the 2-1 is strike two swinging 2-2 locks him up for strike three You know, it was really impressive to me about that strikeout. He fell behind to know to start the at bat That's a pretty bad place to be but then he kind of refocused himself and came right back with three quality pitches in a row To sit him down That's not easy to do but now his focus has to hone in on getting ahead on the next guy In now Victor Reyes As he'll take a look at a high strike that time. It's nothing in one He's over one after grounding out in his only trip to the plate so far Set to deliver the oh and one Let's see if he tries to climb the ladder right here changes eye level or bounce something in the dirt Bases are empty one man out and this is swung on and missed his fifth strikeout already And there are two gone in the inning didn't mess around much in that at bat That was pretty impressive that I really like a pitcher there or us and works office fastball right there He decided he didn't need to use anything else three straight heaters and go greps bench Standing in now Harold Castro Now a ball lying to the left side But foul here's a fastball that crowds him a bit and it's one and one That's not an easy pitch to do anything with right 96 miles an hour in on the hands You almost have to be looking for that pitch to be able to do anything with that goes down and gets it as this is Bounced to short throw on to boy takes care of him and the inning is over Down in order go the Tigers, but they lead it one to nothing you off the inning We go away or they'll look to get something going here and even this game up Tyler Ready to deliver here's the first pitch And he lays off a pitch here that he probably shouldn't have oh and one Hey, love the pitcher attacking his own right here. He knows he's got a patient hitter at the plate might as well steal that first strike Fold strike oh and to Yankee shortstop behind in the count one and two Man, that's a good take there on that oh too fastball just missed. He must have a really good eye at the plate Hit down the line at first, but this is a foul ball as the count holds steady at one and two Now here's the pitch hard hit to first Right there it was a fastball right down the middle and he hit it hard But he couldn't elevate it at all would have been a different story if he did Now at the plate look void on the line at third This is foul for the first strike void playing here in his age 29 season He was taken in the 22nd round back in the draft of 2013 Man coming out of late rounds. You have to grind for everything Nothing is given to you and this guy has turned himself into a very solid big league ball player That's a big accomplishment and he'll try and tempt him with one of the dirt, but he'll hold back here. It's one and two Yeah, that's the spot right there for an o2 pitch. Make him see if he'll chase that slider in the dirt especially with the bases empty The one to Popped him up there to bring it in his Cabrera for route number two The center fielder number 11 Brett Gardner Back to the top of the order now and up next the left-handed hitting Brett Gardner first pitch on its way And it's fouled away the wind up and the 01 Hit on the ground out to short rained in Throw in the dirt but a good scoop at first saves an error as this side is retired So the Yanks go one two three it remains one nothing and to the plate now Miguel Cabrera He looked at bounce back after striking out his last time up He's got to put that one behind them especially with runners in scoring position those punch outs will stick with you a little longer First offering on its way Hit down the third baseline And that's a fair ball as this one gets by him at third Then that can't bother you too much as a pitcher guys swing in first pitch now One of the things you want to do D Rose you have to try to get ahead with the first pitch You want to throw one of the first two pitches for strikes? Unfortunately sometimes when you bring the ball in the strike zone you're bound to give up some base hits But hopefully he can minimize the damage here Here's Jonathan Scope now and now here's a ball hit pretty well out toward right center field heading after this judge And he tracks it down nice play for the first down So with the fly out there coming on the fastball seems like an appropriate time to check out our speed Comparison for these two starters and boy you can see it there a couple of power arms out there as both of these guys Are working in the high 90s Stepping into the box Cameron may been comes into this at bat 0 for one in the ball game First pitch of the at bat Starts him out with a curveball for a strike And he's looking sharp so far 80% of his first pitches are for strikes He might be able to go to distance if he keeps this up. Here's the 0 1 Hey, he threw that pitch with the purpose to get a double play good job to let it go by though as a hitter They off the fastball down low It's two and one now and it's two balls and two strikes now Great pitch in that situation if he makes contact on that one more than likely he's hitting into a double play a full count Three and two to the Tigers center fielder Not a bad time right here to put that runner in motion three to count you send the runner And if it's a bad pitch it's ball for line drive to center field Gartner is there to put it away and the runner will be forced to retreat back to first now batting That's Austin Roma ready for another chance Austin Romain. He's 0 for 1 thus far from the stretch Lofted in the air out toward right center judges under it Makes the catch and that'll retire the side Tigers leave one, but they hold a one-nothing lead last half of the inning We got for the yeah, you may hear the neck of a for one with a flyer Love they huge first pitch of the at bat on its way No fastball here is will take a look at ball one one or no Swing and a fly ball right down the line and left in comes a left fielder He makes the catch a great effort to get there and record the first down of the inning The right fielder number ninety dog error John so digging in now Aaron judge. Here's the first pitch to him Don't want to know Yankee still on the lookout for hit number one here, and he jumps it a change up a swing and a miss Inside here with the hard stuff, and it's two and one now This guy uses that two-seamer to set up his other pitches two-seamer in breaking ball away foul down the left side Never tempted to swing at that ball down low. It's ball three 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 High and deep to right center long run for the right fielder He's got it a nice play there two away now batting catcher Gary And yeah So now it'll be the four hole hitter Gary Sanchez looking to put the ball in play here He went down on strikes in his first at bat now. Here's the pitch And this one's over for a high strike one and one Now come back with one in the dirt as the count moves to two and one now No runs no hits and no errors for the Yankees so far in the air out to right And he'll get there in plenty of time to put this one away and that ends the inning One two three go the bombers there on the short end of a one-to-nothing score Next for the Tigers Kristen Stewart He'll start off the fifth in this one and hey It was a breaking ball to boot this guy's a pretty good off speed hitter You could tell by that last at bat. He wasn't fooled at all He sat back waited got the breaking ball and didn't miss it ball one to start the at bat Chased a bad one there one-to-one With the way this guy's throwing on the mound you cannot be chasing you have to set your sights a little bit lower and control the strike zone From the wind up the 1-1 pitch Lying to shortstop and there's one away Now batting Niko Good room into the box now Niko Goodrum 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 And he lays off there one and oh Well behind that fastball. It's a swinging strike now the one-and-one pitch One run on three hits and no errors in the ballgame for the Tigers And he goes against the shift there as this is on the ground at the left side Oh, and it sailed right over his head at first Now that well I can see what he was thinking thought he had a chance to make it played first But then he forced the throw in an error is the result They got a deal with the runner on second now at the plate Jimer candellario as he will take strike one on the fastball here No balls and a strike oh for one for him here in this one late swing and a miss strike two In today's game it's seeing so many guys strike out and not worry about it I'd love to see a little two-strike approach right here Maybe shorten up a little bit and try and force-feed something the other way Tried to get him to go after one below the knees, but it's one and two Hey, I get it. He wants to set up that breaking ball down it away But that oh two fastball wasn't even close runner at second here with one man out all in two strikes Here it is got him swinging in the dirt and he makes the throat at first Candelario is retired two down now The left fielder number twenty-two Victor Reyes So the lineup flips over and digging in Victor Reyes He's 0 for 2 with a strikeout in this one looking to keep this a one-run game the pitch And that misses for ball one Runner in scoring position at second with two down Softly on a line to third Little trouble handling this one down there a third is that will end the inning one left for Detroit But they're on top one to nothing Welcome back for the bottom of the fifth. Here's Heidi Watney Thanks, Matt. I talked with Yankees manager Aaron Boone during the break about the team's offensive performance so far And he was pretty blunt in saying they're just not having very good at bats They've only managed one base runner in this game So it's easy to see why he said they haven't shown much fight today He's hoping to see someone step up and find a way to get something going though This game isn't out of hand so it remains to be seen if they can snap out of this funk and climb back into this one All right, thank you Digging in now for the Yankees my talkman. He's over one after grounding out in his only trip to the plate so far And that misses ball one he fouls this one off and strike on the inside and he can't believe it at the plate It's one and two now Probably better that he let that pitch go anyway after seeing a lively fastball in the pitch before It's pretty hard to sit back enough on a well-thrown changeup. It's off it to even the count two and two Now here's the pitch Hey throwing the ball great up into this point. Don't want to allow a lead off wall Needs to just focus in on his mechanics right here and a fastball swung on and hit to second scope has it And that's out number one Well executed to see me on the outside corner that time That's what you'll get a lot of Oh, yeah, he rolled right over it the plate now is the designated hitter Torres and maybe a little extra motivation for him here after being hit by a pitch in his first at bat Yeah, Maddie, you're not lying last time up squared right in the back. Hopefully it doesn't stiffen up I want to see if he can get through something right here Into the wind up here comes the oh and one Wave that missed and he's behind oh and two Man this guy's really pitched well so far attacking the strike zone and he's really kept these hitters off balance And he'll try to get him to chase the fastball there, but he lays off one and two to the left side But it's well followed and fishing there, but he won't offer in the dirt and it's back to even it two and two Three balls and two strikes to the Yankees DH Giorgio is on deck ready to deliver the full-count pitch Fouled away Eighth pitch of the at bat coming up lofted in the air out toward right center. Here comes the right fielder He tracks it down and makes the play to record the second now Now that number 29 Digging in now Giorgio this guy is still looking at a zero when they hit column Now here's the pitch Hey, 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 Neutoriously known as being hitter friendly. It's been a treat to watch and a sliders in the dirt as he lays off it for a ball To out nobody on a bouncer to the left side The good scoop at first saves an error as this side is retired So the Yankees go one two three they're down one nothing Next will be the designated hitter Harold Castro one for two including a double back in the first half bro First pitch fastball in there for a cold strike Double barreled action in the Yankee bullpen now a lefty and a right-hander start to get loose On he's got to be more disciplined here It's oh and two and he lays off the curveball strike three called and that's going to be out number one Big curveball for the strike out there and that came after an absolute Missile of a fastball even if you recognize the breaking ball out of the pitcher's hand It's so hard for hitters to sit back long enough after they've seen a really good fastball Only the best can keep their hands back on those The first baseman Miguel Cabrera stands in as with one away He won't catch up with the fastball and it's oh and one. He's one for two in this one That misses wide one ball in one strike Hit hard on the ground at first and he'll take it to the bag himself for the out The ball is just a third of an inning away from putting up another zero as we take a look at the ball clubs with the lowest team Erase and you can see right there that these guys ranked second in the AL in that category Next up for Detroit Jonathan scope over two on his line this far. Here comes the first pitch Change up called strike one, but he might have flown open a bit. It's one and one Bases are empty here with two men out Into the corner and slicing foul they off the curveball that's in the dirt that time and it's back to even now at two and two Pretty good breaking ball to lay off of right there if I'm pitching I might think this guy might be sitting on something off speed Here now the two-two Toward the gap in right center. This is gonna be a base hit and he may take that big turn at first throw into second And he's able to hustle his way up to second as he'll reach here with a two base hit The federal pitchers absolutely dealing right now So this is a big moment in this game if his teammates can pick him up and drive him in now That might be all they need to get the W here in now Cameron may been as he'll take a breaking ball too low And it's one and oh no hits to this point the 1-0 Swing and a liner follow Two out here in a runner at second No offer on that one two balls in a strike Very impressive outing so far as command has been spot on even when he misses his spot It isn't out over the heart of play. He's throwing quality pitches Catch the corner here. So he's behind three and one 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 here it is And a full count now three and two You know, he wants to end this inning right here on three and two But I don't think we'll see him lay one in on the next pitch there with a base open to work with here's the payoff pitch Left side and nothing will come with a two-out double as the inning is over Danger reverted following the two-out double back with more here on a Tuesday night after this And that'll bring up Tyler wade leading off or that moving through the middle of this ball game right now They want to get things going how about trying to get some basementers on or at least get a base hit They don't have any hits going into this part of the game one ball. No strikes the count He's in complete command of his two-seamer right now. It's got great movement great depth running all over the place This offense can have a tough time and they'll go off speed here as this pitch misses. It's two and one Yeah, that looked like a strike But let me tell you when you're staring at a big zero and a hit column getting a call like that to go your way Can feel like a big victory three and one do it now the third baseman will have a look at it But this is back into the seats has to give here's the payoff pitch Look out is this back shatters on impact? But this will get foul so they'll do it again three and two payoff pitch one more time Left side, but well foul payoff pitch one more time And that one misses so the leadoff man will head down to first on ball for to start the bottom of the six They haven't been able to register against this guy, but at least they have a base runner here We'll see if that leads to something Digging in to try it again. Look boy. He popped out in his first trip Yeah, I don't mind them trying to drive the ball in the air, but he can't collapse the back side And that's exactly what he did in his last at bat look for him to stay a little taller and keep that Half a little bit more over Strike one to start the at bat Nobody outrunner on first takes a pitch high and away for ball one two balls in a strike to the Yankees first baseman Boy, not exactly what you'd like as a pitcher One of the keys is to minimize your pitches attack the strike zone early a lot of deep counts and working himself Into a lot of trouble how the two one pitch is taking ball three Got to find a way to get back in his zone I know you're in danger of losing both the walks But certainly don't miss over the heart of the plate and have this guy gap one or even worse hit a two run home Three one pitch And this is foul tip so that runs the count full now at three and two Hey, it's tough when your team is being held scoreless on the scoreboard He was trying to put him on the board with a swing like that one ready to deliver the full count pitch Skied into straightaway right Stewart will settle under it to make the play for the first down as the runner will have to head back to first The center fielder number 11 Here's the veteran Brett Gardner he's over two in the ballgame so far it's coming here it is Strike taken up in the zone That elevated fastball right there. That is the biggest change in the game today for me When I first came up a lot of guys working at Greg Maddox east to west one count and the pitch Pitch out nothing doing under at first here one man out. He pulls this one in to right That's a hit the first of the game for the Yankees And as a result of that errant throwback in he'll advance 90 feet here and move up from second to third Dero it's kind of getting late early. That's only their first hit of the game Yeah, this guy's been on point all day working it in and out their pitching staff obviously did their homework on this offense We're right here able to break through with the first knock hopefully the past of the time mentality goes into effect We get some a ball of no strikes Runners are at first and third one away Pitch to the plate is a slider for a strike and it's all mounted up in one and one Well, the Yankees have been searching for that big hit pretty much all game It remains to see if they could get it, but now it sure would be a good time the 1-1 Great chance right here as a hitter to be really aggressive with two guys already on pretty good shot He's gonna get a challenge pitch right here the 2-1 Swung on and missed for strike number two Strikes now and a runner at first. Do you go for the strike out? Are you still looking for the double play ball pretty good spot to be in as a pitcher right now? You can go for the punch out or trying to do is to ground ball to get a double play Here now the 2-2 Hit hard on the ground towards second the second for one on the first It's a double play as their woes continue the inning is over one left for the Yankees They still trail one nothing You're gonna think it's on the pitch from the bullpen now to start ending number seven number fifty-fifth New ending set to get underway stepping in Austin Romine. He's hit listen is to add bats so far the catcher First offering on its way Hit out towards second and the throw to first is in time so the leadoff man is gone here to start ending number seven The bat a lot you can do with that porch that fast ball just ate him up inside and gets the soft grounder for the out Kristen Stewart 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 first pitch of the at bat The wind up and the 01 a fastball here that he started off a bit too far inside it nearly got him 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 Here's one that misses inside and the counts run full now three and two Boy went from being in the driver's seat to now being in some trouble had the count Oh and two started nipping at the corners and next thing you know this count stands at three and two Now the payoff pitch home And it's fouled away off pitch one more time Bouncer to the left side Throw on the first to get him score it five three on the putout though it looked more like a six to three ground Well, nevertheless, there are two away now Digging in the switch hitter Nico Goodrum one for two in the ballgame thus far In field shifted well to the right. Here's the first page Hi, and that's a base hit in the left field around first. He's digging for second. He is in the second with a two out double Now mistake what he was sitting on fastball middle of the plate kept his hands back stayed through the baseball and delivers a hard-hit line drive Into the box now Jimer Candelaria as the first pitch misses to him. It's ball one his career numbers against this pitcher. He's one for three Runner in scoring position at second with two down Not close with the off-speed pitch taken for a ball Couple strikeouts early in a game, but he's done a much better job than this at bat Trying to get ahead and put himself at a good hitters count two and 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 gonna give him anything straight that he can handle two and one here. It is Took a good cut that time. It comes up empty two and two He's staring a hat trick in the face right now after that swing He has just got to find a way to zone up a little bit more You cannot expect to make solid contact chasing stuff outside the zone judges under it ends the inning Tigers get one. They lead it one to nothing Epidemic threat for the seventh year and that'll bring you go here in Over to form to the whitefield this thing's fairer over even though we're moving into the back into this game Only down by one all they need to do is get this lead-off guy and they're an extra base hit away from tying this thing up Ready to deliver. Here's the first pitch Line to shortstop and there's one away Up next for the Yankees the catcher Gary Ten Jack The Yankee cleanup hitter Gary Sanchez. It's been an 0 for 2 effort for him to this point Ready with the first pitch here it comes Didn't quite catch the zone there ball one some action now when the Tigers bullpen as they'll get a left-hander and a right-hander up to throw Faces are empty one man out and he turns this one around high and deep to center field looking up his maven Goes the Dynamics a solo shot here for Gary Sanchez Home run number five on the year and the Yankees have drawn even now and won a piece What a great feeling right there as he circles the pillows finally able to get this offense Potentially going with one swing in the back being shut out all game, but not anymore Mike now then left field Skied in the air to straight away Reyes is gonna get there as he backs up to put it away and there are two gone now The designated hitter Stratting forward now is the DH Torres he flew out in his last ad back almost Maddy almost went deep his last AP 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 AV It's gonna be back to some serious teamwork if he can't put that pitch in play right in his wheelhouse And no swing apparently ball one Two out nobody on Swing and a ball lifted in the air toward the line and right in there a base hit He takes the turn and heads per second there at second base as he's got himself a two-out double Just goes to show if you're gonna throw that double seed pass ball the way which I don't think is the best pitch Anyway, you better start that thing out of the zone and let it work its way back to the corner with this one It started out on the corner So it leaked back right over the heart of the plate and got blacked and it looks like they'd rather go after the next The attention a walk signal comes here with two away Yeah, well when a guy that as well as he's been this is a smart move no reason to tempt me out there Digging in once again Tyler Wayne. It was a walk in his last trip Hoping to keep it tied here. It comes lofted in the air out toward right center Stewart's under it and he makes the catch for app number three But the Yankees are able to tie things up on the sold-off home run Seven complete here tonight all tied at one and one Start of the eighth on its way, but first Heidi Watney standing by with this report Thanks, Matt. I talked with Tigers manager Ron garden higher during the break about the team's offensive performance so far and Overall, he's really happy with the app that's they're putting together He said he's been really happy with how many balls they've hit hard and on a line Looking at the numbers They've had seven total line drives and even though some of those have resulted in outs He says it's that kind of consistent contact. It leads to W's in the standings now pitching for the Yankees All right, Heidi. Thank you. No, Ben. Hella has been summoned from the bullpen as he'll do so to start While set for the start of the inning so the batting order turns over now and sent to go Victor Reyes You could really use a knock here over three in the game so far Ready with the first pitch here it comes And of all one and all this is skied into short left center Wade trying to get there He gets there to make the play for the first out of the inning The bat boy he showed some pretty good range heading pretty deep into the outfield to bring that one down Thought the outfielder might call him off, but he clearly had it under control Now in the box Harold Castro. He was punched out looking at strike three last time through Yeah, Maddie 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 Maybe trying to back him up a bit there with the fastball on out nobody on a ball in a strike Pulled toward right center field And he will make the play out there and there are two away now the batter the first baseman Miguel Cabrera that'll bring up the veteran Miguel Cabrera. He was retired via the ground ball last time up. Here's the pitch Hit high and deep out to straight away left left fielder looking up and they have taken the lead a Solo shot here to left and it's now a one-run ball game What a great piece of clutch hitting right there to give his boys the lead gonna put a lot of pressure on the Opposition have to score with only six outs to go Flake now Jonathan Scott Take a look at a slider here that finds the zone for strike one He's got a hit in three at bats to this point the wind up and the 0-1 And a check swing here, but he pretty clearly broke the plane and it's 0-2 now a bad pitch there with two strikes But it misses one and two Week rounder back to the mound and the throat at first is in time, but the damage has been done as the side is retired But the Tigers do strike for one on the solo home run by Miguel Cabrera Home half of the eighth coming up and Detroit's taken a two-to-one lead Tyler Lyons, you're on the pitch out of the bullpen in the bottom half of the eighth number 58 Tyler Bottom of ending number eight set to go Striding into the box move point. It was a flyout for him in his last trip Third baseman hug in the line here now the first pitch And this is up an end ball one now action in the bullpen as their closers starts to get loose out there Weighing in a miss as he ramps up on the fastball one-on-one Nice adjustment out on the mound over through the first one a little bit But got on top and let that ball rip right out in front of him In front of the change-up and he can't keep it fair two strikes on him now here now the two-two This is yet high in the air out toward left center may been on the run He gets to it and makes the catch for the first out The final line there for the starting pitcher. It was really in command on the moon throughout the evening Maddie V really a solid performance seven strong innings pitched in line for the win Need some help for the bullpen to close this one out Here's Brett Gartner now. Yes, he'll take a look at a slider here that misses through ball one He's working on a one for three thus far being in the zone This guy's been raking lately and it all starts with his pitch selection two great tanks And he's almost daring to pitch or just go ahead and challenge him Two balls and a strike down to the Yankees leadoff man Lions a native Texan He was a ninth round pick back in the 2010 first year player draft I know this guy wouldn't go into the category of superstar But to grind out the career he has been drafted where he was my hats off to him Even count two balls and two strikes Two and two count here it comes Filed off in two to the Yankees center fielder Every baserunner in a close game like this really matters. So you can't afford to be giving out free passes this late Something has to give here's the payoff pitch into the right side But he'll barely have to move out there and right as he hauls this one in for the second out Now batting Time to bring you up to date on the numbers for our two starters It's our starter comparison in the hometown nine have had trouble generating much by way of hits as you can see by the left side of your screen And that sends dj lamehu into the box. He's hitless in three at backs to this point ready to deliver Here's the first pitch High and deep down the left field line And that will end up a foul ball Tying run at the plate the oh one Fastball just misses x-ball one one and one here it comes Come inside with the fastball, but it misses here and it's back to two and two right side scope is there And eight innings have come and gone now as the inning is over One two three go the bombers. They still trail it here two to one Striding in to start the nine Cameron may be as they look for some added insurance before the bottom half of the inning Here's the first pitch to him Ninth inning begins as the first pitch is taken for ball one Well should be two and oh, but he goes way out of the zone to go after that one and it's even one and one You never want to take the aggression away from a ball player But in this situation, I'd like to see the leadoff guy try and work to count a little bit more Especially when his pitchers missing like he is and a dive, but it rattles in and out of the glove Hey, this looks like it could be a potential add-on inning here in the ninth Add-on gives some breathing room to their pitcher going into the bottom of the inning d-rope Yeah, you love when the offense stays aggressive And you also like giving your relief pitcher a chance to breathe a little bit not having to come out there With just a one run lead first pitch of the advent And who looks like he got the call there on the pitch inside. It's nothing in one Strike two swinging this down in front of the slider I know that feeling played 14 years in the big leagues and still can't hit a slider the o2 pitch Still no balls and two strikes Hey that fastball caught too much at a plate on an o2 count One and two to the Tigers catcher The runner at first with no outs here Still one and two About the pitch Weighing inside with that one a pretty easy take there Wow kind of an interesting pitch call there The batter flailed at the pitch away on the previous one So you think you'd go right back there, but instead they decided to come in make him prove He can adjust before you do the 2-2 Will be a base hit in the center field runners at the corners to start off the inning It's so important mark to start to make quality pitches And if you don't this is what can happen two batters two base hits first and third Nobody out. Yeah, and you just got to prepare yourself as an offensive player You're just trying to get the runner in from third You can't worry about creating a monster inning do your job Kristen Stewart is at the plate now. He takes a cold strike a one pitch on its way Look out one in one Runners at the corners here nobody out Hit in the air to center field Gardeners after it He gets there to make the catch but this should bring home a run as the runner tags from third And add a run on the sacrifice fly as that'll make this a three-to-one game Every team is looking for that insurance run late in the game that run right there Gives them a two run lead heading into the late innings Digging in and looking for more Nico Goodrum one in one out and one on here in the inning First offering on its way Now the 01 and a swing and a misses they got him with the slider there two away Well, his struggles continue. It's been a rough govet at the plate with him and watching this at bat It's clear to me that his rhythm and timing They're just all off even as a pitcher like I was you can tell these things and exploit them In now Jaimer Candelario as he takes a cold strike at the knees its own one He could really use a knock here 0 for three in the game so far So called strike at the letters though that looked high from here. It's 0 and 2 now Boy, this is one of those ab's you like to hit the rewind button on put himself in a tough spot now hitting with two strikes Working for the punch out and the offering Well, all of the umpires in the seats thought that would strike three and they weren't far off But I think that was a good call look to be just a bit outside Ready to deliver the one and two Just a bit high with the fastball, but didn't get the call really pulled that one across as the slider misses well inside Well, this has been a good at bat. He's now worked to count fold the three and two It allows the runner on first to be on the move with two away And he struck him out so a good pitch there and now they're going to need to string some hits together in this last At bat if they want to get back in this thing a run on two hits and they leave one Harder the order three four and five will get their shot in the bottom of the ninth It's the tigers three and the yankees one Joe Jimenez takes the ball now and in the number nine looking to close the door number 77 joe Aaron judge The ball pretty well in his last at bat, but it resulted in a line out Yeah, maddie. It's always a little frustrating when you square one off You hit a solid line drive like he did it and all you have to show for it is a jog back to the dugout That can get in your head for a little while late swing, but he's still able to get a lot of this one out to a deep right field Stewart's on the warning track as he hauls it in for a loud out number one Now batting the catcher Gary Sanchez Standing in gary sanchez There was a solo shot for him in his last at bat and that last at bat when he went deep He turned around a pretty good fastball. So I'm kind of thinking this guy's a good fastball hitter So I might want to move that ball up and down and in and out and try not to throw it right down the middle of the plate That's a good take on a fastball out of the zone. Hey, I get it He's looking for a ball to drive, but that ball was a little bit too far up in the zone That's one you normally pop right up A ball in a strike one and one Hey, you want someone sometimes to rattle the bat rack, but also the guy on the mound's got to eat too They're executing their pitches out there. It's going to be tough to score some runs Now the one and one pitch A swing and a drive sent out toward the gap right fielder looking up Who goes the dynamite solo shot to right center as it's now a three two ball game Up of the ninth is even bigger now Without it, this thing would be tied as it stands though They still have work to do to send this to extras or in this thing. This game's getting good now Now better No left fielder to the plate now. Mike talkman Line this one into right center and this is going to get down and should be extra bases Second base with a one out double Now so he waited till the ninth inning, but he comes through here to extend the hit streak That was close Yeah, matty b. You see that rye smile of him coming out of the box right there He knew what was on the line. He'd be lying if he didn't There's a lot of pressure on him because you're walking into that batter's box thinking I have a nice streak going and this is more than likely going to be my last a b He comes through in the clutch set. Here's the nothing and nothing pitch In there at the knees strike one and the sliders in the dirt as he lays off it for a ball Hey, this isn't going to be an easy save these guys are making them work for this one One out one on in a one run game Somebody's getting frustrated. He's not used to getting hit around like this two and two right side But that's a foul ball no runner on second base Hit back up the middle scooped up In time and the Yankees are down to their final out now. Now about it Number 29 in Giovanni Urschella as he's got a chance to tie this ballgame up with that equalizing run just 90 feet away at third Trying to hold the lead. Here's the delivery Hey, I don't have a problem with him taking a pitch right there It's a good opportunity to see what he's got Also a good opportunity to see if he's going to be pounding a strike zone 01 offering Little tardy on that swing as it's well wide at first Last chance for the Yankees And another foul ball Two outs here with a runner at third Ways to fastball high there one and two and this should do it And that's going to do it as the catch is made and the Tigers have taken game one of the series on the road as a ball game is over Well, that's just a great job of battling on the road They fought all the way to the end took the lead in the top of the ninth and secured the w in the bottom half That's a great team win three to two the finish in tonight's game The Tigers came through late taking the lead in the eighth to secure the victory Michael fulmer earns the win his second Joe Jimenez wraps it up for the save his fourth of the season So that just about does it for mark de rosa 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 dot com
