 MLB the show's coverage of Major League Baseball is on the air a good one on tap for you this afternoon between the Baltimore Orioles and the New York Yankees Masahiro Tanaka the right hander from Japan will get the starting assignment in this one then please act what's the word on him. Hey every team needs a pitcher like this one here his numbers aren't going to blow you away career ERA just under four but one thing he does he takes the ball every five days throws strikes and gives his team a chance to win every single time he goes out there meeting off the watch in this one here today stepping into the box Austin Hayes and we are ready for some daytime baseball ready with the first pitch here it comes I called a strike on the outer half 0 and 1 first pitch 1 o'clock now here's the pitch outside for a ball one and one checks his swing but this will be strike two call the one two still a ball and two strikes not an all together bad afternoon for baseball 54 degrees here at first pitch to two balls and two strikes now fastball is swung on and missed and there is your first out of the contest that Anthony Santander the next to bat in past meetings with Tanaka he's a 333 hitter infield in the over shift here now the pitch started the breaking ball far too inside that time laid off for ball one and there is our officiating crew in this one calling balls and strikes Mr. Freddie Ferguson you know this is one of the guys behind the dish Freddie Ferguson Dan that the rookies are going to have a tough time with if you've played in the league for a little bit you understand that he's got his own zone you touched on a deal where I think he rewards the veteran players not only pitchers but position players he makes the younger players he makes them earn their keep and that finds them outfield grass it's a base hit he doubled up on the heater right there first one he blew right by him second one timing was on point and he was able to get ahead Alberto and digging into the batter's box will be Hanzer Alberto first shot for him here with a runner at first now in one away on set and the 01 and here's a swing and a miss as he falls behind nothing in two oh to count you could do just about anything you want right now up down in out hard soft good time to be a pitcher got him swinging chased it well out of the zone and there are two gone pretty textbook pitching right there jump ahead and account and then start working outside the zone easier said than done but that's the way you do it and here's Renato Nunez as Tanaka jumps ahead of him here at strike one he takes his first cuts in this one with a man at first and two away oh one count here's the pitch going to need to make a little bit of an adjustment with a slider release and at least temp the hitter that it's going to be a strike on the third baseline but this will get foul it's a ball and two strikes and a slider slung on a missed and the side is retired Orioles leave one Orioles nothing Yankees come into bat you're watching Major League Baseball on the show John means Kansas born left-hander will be doing the pitching what do you have for us on him Danny hey every team needs a pitcher like this one here his numbers aren't going to blow you away career ERA just under four but one thing he does he takes the ball every five days throw strikes and gives his team a chance to win every single time he goes out there he'll be fun to watch in this one here today go bring up Miguel and do hard or leave things off here in the bottom half of the first I'm here it comes kind 0 and 2 now on 0 and 2 he misses with the fastball stone cold take right there that fastball very well could have sent him packing back to the bench and here's a slider strike three called and that'll be the first out of the inning batting check now to the plate DJ LeMayhew he's ready here's the first offering and he takes ball one it's 2 and 0 gonna be a long day if he executes like this punching tickets right out of the gate three and oh now to be honest with you I'm a little bit more afraid the guy on deck to the guy that's up right now if I'm on the mound I want this guy up right now he's the guy that's got to beat me here it is on three and oh and a good comeback there it's three and one now that's a really curious pitch selection 3 0 and turned to the slider you have to wonder if maybe he's lost the field for his fastball one out nobody on hard hit ball the second and there's out number two batting third the right fielder Aaron and that'll bring up Aaron judge first delivery to him on the way smoked on the ground up the middle and the inning will continue as that's through for a two out hit well there's no denying he was all over that fastball that's what we'd like to refer to as a little bit of an ambush. Oh, it's turned around. Giancarlo Stanton now he gets a shot to hit here in the inning following the two out single. Yeah and that hit might not amount to much but anytime you could extend it in and give a guy with plenty of pop a chance to swing it the outlook of an inning changes dramatically first offering on its way. Judge leads off first with a pair of outs in the inning off the plate and in hits a ball and a strike and this one's in the dirt runner holds as the count moves to two and one slider misses and he's in danger of losing him here three and one. Good job to work the count and put himself back in the driver's seat started off with one strike and now he's got to count his favorite three and one hit hard on the ground a third throw on the second for the force in the side is retired. Yanks leave one and this is still a nothing nothing ball game stepping up to the plate and move off the last course. He'll be the one to lead off against Masahira Tanaka ready to deliver. Here's the first pitch. Here's a breaking ball but it doesn't quite find the strike zone. Man that's a great take right there. Backdoor slider just missed the outside corner. This guy must have a really good eye. Most guys swing at that pitch up top. It's 2 and 0 all the strike on the inside part of the plate two and one. Hey that pitch right there caught entirely too much at a play curve ball that rolled over the heart of the plate. He's got to pull a trigger on that one and this will be fouled away. Here now the two two and that's a swinging strike three in the dirt and he makes the throw to first. Velazquez is retired and there's one away batting pitch. Now batting Rio Ruiz Ruiz and field shifted well to the right. Here's the first pitch. This is hit the other way out toward left field. Left fielder is on the move. He's got it. A nice play there two away batting so bases are empty here with two gone and that'll bring up the shortstop Jose Iglesias. Now the pitch. No score here as we play any number two on the ground up the middle and that finds its way through for a base hit. Nice execution right there. Dan kept his front shoulder in the right his hands inside the baseball and ripped the base hit up the middle. And if you're a pitcher right there you can't get discouraged. Sometimes even when you make a good pitch the ball is going to find a hole somewhere. That would right up the middle. In now DJ Stewart as the first pitch to him is in there for a cold strike one. He takes his first cuts in this one with a man at first and two away in a splitter here but he had a bit too much on it as this bounces up to the plate heading out towards shallow right judges under it makes the catch and that'll retire the side one left for the Orioles will go to the bottom of the second. No score. So striding in towards he'll start things out here in a tie ball game. Here comes the first pitch who started him with the change and it's nothing in one. This is why one ball and one strike from the wind up the one one pitch swings through it for strike number two. Got a pitch to the ballpark's dimensions right here. Love the execution of that pitch down in the zone. Got to keep the ball in the yard. Even count two balls and two strikes two to full count now three and two. Well that sets up a big pitch right here Matt because you don't want to lose the leadoff guy in a scoreless game. It's tough to work around the leadoff walk and he takes ball for leadoff man's aboard here to begin the home half of the second. Well that was a slider and a three to count and it just didn't attempt him enough to get a good swing. A good job of pitch recognition and knowing the strike zone to draw the free pass there and that'll bring up Tyler wave. First chance for him here with a man on following the leadoff walk from the stretch and he lays off their one and oh count one and oh two and oh to the Yankees left fielder. 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. Outside three and oh now means to guy who throws a lot of strikes rarely walks people but what does bite him occasionally is the home run ball. Matt this is a guy that's not a power type of pitcher so he needs to rely on being down in the strike zone. One of the keys he tends to lose being aggressive when he falls behind and he kind of nibbles around the strike zone and what happens with that Matty V he becomes very predictable and when you don't have overpowering stuff you tend to be able to get hit hard. He pops him up toward the left side of the infield Ruiz battles the son a bit but has it for our number one batting seven the center fielder went into the box now Clint Frazier first swings for him in this one with a runner still at first and one gone from the stretch the set and the one oh pitch is swung on and missed in that strike one kicks and deals change up just off the black and it's two and one. He threw that pitch with a purpose to get a double play good job to let it go by though as a hitter he set and the two one pitch ground ball foul down the left side to two on the ground to second base this could be two to Iglesias for one relay throw but it'll be too late as he's well safe at first batting game the first base so stradding forward now look point liver here's the first pitch lying toward right centered and that's into the gap and should be extra bases Frazier isn't stopping here he comes to the place and a relay home and not in time as the run scores great case of hitting here man on first hitter playing in the bull dial he crosses them up he goes the other way making the outfielder cover a lot of extra ground that allowed the runner to come all the way around from first to score and that was a great piece of hitting stepping in now Kyle Higashiyoko as he takes a called strike on the black its own one opportunity for him here to pick up that runner from second with two away just behind the fastball there two strikes now make a good pitch right here and get your offense back in the dugout after only giving up one run one and two to the Yankees catcher Yankees lead this one to nothing here in inning number two had to sit back on the changeup and he did a good job to get the bat on that one got him looking and that ends the inning the sights and sounds of a day at the ballpark oh my goodness Mark Dan and I are back with more after this and that'll bring up the catcher chance Cisco as we are all set to begin the third inning in this one now here's the pitch and he lays off a pitch in there for the first strike into the wind up here comes the O and one fastball over the outside but in there for a strike I get it he wants to see this guy's repertoire but now he's behind an account put himself in a tough spot to hit now a ball lined to the left side but this will be a foul ball struck him out now that Austin Hayes the next bat looking to put the ball in play here he went down on strikes in his first at bat yeah kind of shocked he got blown away with a fastball you could tell he was laid on that one and we'll see if he tries to cheat to something to save it outside target here and he hits it for strike one bases are empty one minute line drive the left that's his first base hit making one for two now our bullet single the left field on a pitch that was kind of middle down in the zone D Rowan he's gonna have to make some better pitches than that one yeah if he's gonna leave pitches over the heart of the plate he's gonna have a long night the middle of this order does serious damage now to the plate Anthony Santander as he looks at a fastball that's in there for strike one the one pitch on its way Santander digs in at 6-2 and swings the bat from both sides of the batter's box he's in his third season as a major league player oh and to count here's the pitch now it's one and two pretty standard fastball right there oh and to now he's changed the eye level of the batter so he can start working something in like an off-speed curve ball down in the zone still one and two as he fouls it away now a swing and he pops him up this is right out in front of the mound and do hard as to shade his eyes from the Sun but he stays with it for round number two digging in for a second at bat Hanser Alberto he looked to bounce back after striking out his last time up yeah and he didn't put up much of a fight either Matty gotta find a way can't go down three pitches I don't care if you're staring at him or swinging him you have to find a way to make this pitch or work a little bit harder runner on first with two away round ball sent back up the middle the Mayhew's got it quick throw to Torres to retire the side Orioles leave one it remains one nothing to the top of the order now and starting into the plate it'll be Miguel and do harm third baseman Miguel ready with the first pitch here it comes and that misses inside one and oh one ball one strike to count one one back up the middle diving effort here as he gets a glove on it and he'll make it the first easily be ruled an infield single nice effort by the shortstop there kept it in front of him that's all we could do right there Dan you know dealer in a spot like that that's an infield single that's a tough play just to knock that ball down was a pretty good job but anyway you look at it that should be scored a base hit and I'm sure it was ball one as he lays off below the zone 0 for 1 here in the early going fouled away nobody outrunner on first one and two to DJ La Mayhew to two balls and two strikes now and he takes ball three so it's a full count now not a time to fool around right now on a three to count with the middle part of the order coming up expect a good pitch to swing at full count here it comes skied in the air to straight away to the left Santander waits on it one away the way to play Aaron John Aaron John first pitch of the at bat one pitch on its way now here's one hit in the air to the right side and that'll get down for a base hit and as a result of that Aaron throwback in he'll advance 90 feet here and move up from second to third that's what's so disappointing you make a really good pitch and yet this guy's so big and so strong he's able to muscle it into right field for a base hit yeah you hand your batting gloves to the first base coach right there and you thank your lucky stars that's a nice a big and digging into the batter's box next will be Jim Carlos Stanton one ball no strikes to count here comes the 1 0 and it's fouled away runners are at the corners with one man out breaking ball that's in the dirt as he takes a ball he's falling behind now three and one couldn't be a whole lot better situation to hit it now three and one two on he's got to be thinking he's gonna get a pitch he can drive right here and this misses for ball four the second walk he surrendered here in the first three innings I think he was trying to be a little too fine there in a walk is the result well the good news is he has a force every base the bad news a single probably drives in a couple of runs stepping into the box torres given the situation he's got an opportunity to break this game wide open he's ready here's the first offering hard liner to center field catch made in center here comes the runner from third and not in time is the run scores obviously he's hoping for more up there with the bases loaded but you can't be too upset with the sack fly digging in to try it again Tyler Wade two on two out for him here in the third he sat here it comes one on its way there's a breaking ball but it's laid off and doesn't find the zone swing here on the fastball and this will get fouled off to the right side two men are on with two men out just a bit high with the fastball but didn't get the call and he goes and chops this one out towards second on the second for the foreshad and the side is retired a run on two hits for the Yankees three innings complete the Yankees lead at two to nothing all set for the start of the fourth ready now for Baltimore Renato Nunez he was a strikeout victim in his first try things not looking very good so far in this one but we're still in the middle innings they're down by a couple of runs and this will 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 strike one to start the at bat could take there to lay off the high fastball that had a pretty good take there on the slider down it's ball three a throw in the ball great up into this point don't want to allow a leadoff walk needs to just focus in on his mechanics right here and he lays off their ball four so the leadoff man is on here to begin stands a number four well they haven't been able to scratch a run across yet so maybe this walk will jump start their offense a little bit digging in the switch hitter Andrew Velasquez looking to put the ball in play here he went down on strikes in his first at bat becomes set here's the nothing and nothing pitch Velasquez just 24 years of age he was selected in the seventh round during the first year player draft of 2012 hey this guy has got a chance to be an absolute steal being drafted where he was there are definite signs that he has a chance to make an impact at the big league level in the dirt here and he'll rain it in as the count moves to one and two ball strike three calls and he didn't like it but there's the first out I think we're starting to see the frustration mount from this offense it's been a pretty dominant performance on the mound and these hitters have had no answer for anything he's throwing up there that he's not so well aware on yet that lasts throughout most of the game like it has here Rio Ruiz to the plate now as Tanaka jumps ahead of him here at strike one so far 0 for 1 with a flyout and this one's in the dirt and forget about the double play now as he'll move up to second here on the wild pitch well I know what he was thinking there the pitch before was way out of the zone and he was hacking so the pitcher says hey if he's going to get that how about this solid strategy except this time it didn't work out and it's a wild pitch hit sharply on the ground to the left and that's through and a left to base hit won't risk it at third so they're at the corners now with only one away this is their time right here this starting pitcher has been on point all day runs have been in a premium they have an opportunity to do something special right here here's the shortstop now Jose Glacius he offers at it and hits it in the air to catch made in left here comes the runner for the plate on the board with the sack fly as this is now a two to one game the bat that was a good up control swing out of him there and that's exactly what he was hoping to do get it into the outfield and pick up the RBI so stepping in DJ Stewart fly it out in his first at bat so make him 0 for one so far from the stretch no at the ball hits are now even at for a piece into the second deck and gone a two run blast to straight away right field as the Orioles move in front here three to two there's still some game left to be played but that one swing could end up being a deciding factor in this one now the chance Cisco the catcher as Tanaka jumps ahead of him here at strike one first time up he went down looking a little quick on that swing and he finds himself behind 0 and 2 three runs already home here a ball and two strikes to the Baltimore backstop now if I'm in the box you take a step out right here take a deep breath after that high fastball you've got to be leery of him bury in something in the dirt hold toward right center field and he'll get there in plenty of time to put this one away and that ends the inning but they strike for three in the inning two on this two run homerun bottom of the fourth coming up and Baltimore has taken a three to two lead just about set to go for the last of the fourth but before we do that here's Heidi Watney thanks Matt I talked with the Yankees manager Aaron Boone 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 it's still pretty early in the game but they've seen a lot of pitches already and he thinks the two runs they've pushed across so far is just the beginning given the quality of the app that they're putting together. OK thank you Heidi bottom of the inning now next for New York Clint Freyser for the Yankees the center fielder. Here's the first pitch to him right here. Pitcher wants to have a quick inning right here capitalize on the momentum his batters have into the wind up. Here comes the 0 and 1 and he gets him to pop it up on the right side of the infield and there's out number one now bad trying to pick things up where we left off. Look what he'll try to follow up the double in his last half bad with another big hit right here. Yeah he did a great job to go down and get that one is last at bat but I got to think they're going to pitch him up maybe elevate something in the zone interested to see how he approaches this next day of eight. We're in the fourth three to two is our score. High fastball is in there. Your idea of working account goes out the window. You're frustrated right now down 0 2 got to find a way to grind. Did a good job to shorten up and protect the plate and he'll have another shot at it here. The next 0 2 and right into the shift but a foul ball and the count holds it on to fastball laid off well below the knees to get to the end of the game and he runs four hits and no errors for the Yankees so far swing and a miss on the change up and they're a two gone the great equalizer the change up that was a really good job of getting down about it that one out of the zone. Kyle was all set up by the fact that he got a hit the count and forced a hitter to have to protect. That's the name of the game at the plate Kyle Higashiyoka as he connects the ball to the center and Hazel make the catch the side is retired. So the Yankees go 1 2 3 they trail 3 to 2. So the batting order turns over now and set to go Austin. And then I'm sure the starter on the mound would like to hit the rewind button on that last inning. No doubt about that Mac that was a really rocky frame but clearly not enough to chase him from this game. We'll see if he's still shaking a bit or if he's able to put this behind him. First pitch coming here it is and a sliders in the dirt as he lays off it for a ball. There's a swing and a missile sent out to center field a ball that's carrying on the warning track he makes the catch. Now that at the plate Anthony Santander a hidden to try so far. Here's the first pitch to him. Count one and well out in front of the breaking ball there for a strike fastball misses in the dirt as he tried to get him to chase the low one and he can't catch the corner here. So he's behind three and one Hanser Alberto will be next three one fastball too high ball for up next for the Orioles the second base digging in once again Hanser Alberto no hits to this point on the stretch. Here's the pitch at the ball pitch taken several inches below the zone in fact runner at first year one man out not close. It's to an all clearly working the bottom of the zone trying to get a ground ball for a double play now the 2 0 and this one gets away and forget about the double play now as he'll move up to second here on the wild pitch. Well the graphic here isn't going to properly show just how far that pitch was from the strike zone. That thing wasn't even close and I think it made the decision to move up a base pretty easy to make. Here's the 3 and 0 pitch that one's in there 3 and 1 holds this one in the air out to left Wade is over just a few steps to his right as he takes it for round number two now fast. So two are gone now in the Baltimore fifth and digging in next but the play will be Renato Nunez looking to keep this one run game the pitch double barreled action in the Yankee bullpen now a lefty and a right hander start to get loose fifth inning a play here in a 3 2 ball game runs outside so it goes to 2 and 0 now like to see him be looking to the opposite field with this next swing pitchers trying to work your way high fly ball out to straight away center Frazier will get there and he puts it away to retire the side one left for the Orioles but they still lead at three to two here's McGill and a hard now he's one for two in the third basement meet good pitch of the at bat on its way to wind up and the 0 1 behind 0 and 2 now nothing in two count and the pitch and a check swing here but the back clearly breaks the plane as he set down for the first out didn't mess around much in that at the back down. That's pretty impressive. I really like a pitcher that trust. And right there he decided he didn't need to use anything else three straight heaters and go grab some bench and he gets ahead here with the fastball strike one to runs four hits and no errors for the Yankees so far popped him up Alberto is there for it and he makes the catch for the second out. No right fielders. No bases here with two gone that'll bring up the former American League rookie of the year big Aaron judge on its way is pitch number seventy five now a big fastball and he's well behind it with the swing man this guy's been incredibly efficient so far in this one mostly because he's getting ahead 70 percent of the batter. Well the play has been made and that retires the side one two three go the bombers they're down three to two Strading forward now is the DH Andrew Velasquez he was sent packing on strikes in his last trip. Yeah Maddy 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. First pitch of the inning is taken low and away for a ball it's one and all and some action out in the Yankee bullpen now as a right hander starts to loosen up. The 1 0 home is in there for strike one. This is on the ground over the first and they'll take it to the bag himself for the out now batter. So digging in now Rio Ruiz he's one for two in this one first pitch of the at bat and it takes a pitch that's ruled a strike at the knees pretty liberal strikes on there. It's 0 and 1 and a pitch in the dirt as he lays off. It's one and one three twos are scored here in inning number six and he fouls this one off the 1 2 is offered at a missed he chased it for strike three. I'll tell you he's showing no signs of tiring it right now still looks razor sharp from what I can tell so I think he might last a while longer if he can keep this up. He glades into the box now Jose Glacius as he'll go after the first pitch and bounce it into foul territory the wind up and the 0 1 line to the right side and that is in there for a two out base knock. You never want to beat a pitcher that breaks a guy out of a slump but this guy was too good. You knew it was a matter of time before he started barreling baseballs that gives him a multi hit game and I'm sure he's feeling good about it. DJ Stewart will stand in again as we flash you back here to the fourth inning. This was a two run home run that was definitely one of the big blows of the ball game to this point. He's set and the pitch at the ball. Oh that's a tough call for blue right there. Either way you call it somebody doesn't like it. But hey that's the life of an umpire and he watches one miss outside 2 and 0 now. Not even close with the 1 0. He needs to get back in his own but be careful. Work the quadrants now the 2 0. He's taken strike one to out with the man at first to 2 and 2 now. Hey he's done an amazing job of settling down two innings ago. I thought they were going to run him out of here. But now he's close to posting two shutout innings as a response lays off the splitter that time and it's full 3 and 2 3 2 2 out runner on first lots of possible outcomes on this pitch down the first base line but this will get foul so they'll do it again 3 and 2 payoff pitch one more time and he struck him out his eighth punch out of the ball game and that one ends the inning Orioles leave one and it remains a three two ball game Sean Armstrong enters to do the pitching in the bottom of the sixth number 43 John Armstrong writing forward now the Yankee cleanup hitter John Carlos Stanley lead things off here in this one run contest John Carlos first pitch of the at bat a ball and no strikes the 1 0 is taken for ball to 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 and a good come back fastball there. It's two balls in a strike. Hey this pitcher better be careful right here. My man at the plate is not trying to push something to the opposite field and he misses low here. So the count goes to three and one down by a run your guide needs to get on any way he can. His mentality has to be to shrink the strike zone to like the size of the suit can no reason to swing at a pitcher's pitch a good pass at that ball just a little late and now the counts full now the payoff pitch. There's a swing and a high deep drive headed for the right field corner nearly a big fly to start the inning instead of foul ball. Here's a check swing and they appeal down to first no swing. So that's ball for and I'm sure the manager is just fine with that. I mean it's better to battle a slugger like that to the end and end up walking him then serving on he can really hurt you. And that'll bring up Glibertura's ready. Here's the first offering in the air now out to right field right fielder is on the run. He gets there to make the play for the first out of the inning. Now that after the Yankees Tyler Wayne over two from him so far in this one first delivery to him on the way popped him up Alberto is calling for it. He hauls it in without any trouble and there are two away. So it's a runner at first with two men out that will bring up the outfielder. Right from the stretch and now a right hander up and throwing in the Baltimore bullpen on first with two away one and one that counts a Clint Frasier time two and one. I'd be real surprised if he goes back out away there on the mound. This is a count for a fastball challenge and we'll see if he's ready for it in the box. Now the two one pitch Luke Boyd would be next if they can keep this ending alive. The three one now here's a check swing and they appeal down to first no swing. So that's ball four. He did not want to let the hitter off the hook with two outs and now he's got a winner in scoring position to deal with into the box. Now Luke Boyd as he'll look to bring home that tying run from second with a base hit into the outfield and to hold the lead here's the delivery. Fastball catches the black there for a called strike. 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. Line hard toward right center and this is going to find the alley as he might have himself his second double of the ballgame. Now it's cut off a throw to the plate and he's out on the tag that will end the inning but they do score one on the play Yankees forced to settle for one seventh inning coming up and we are all tied at three a piece. But Britain is on the pitch from the bullpen now to start at number seven. Number 53. Meeting off for the Orioles the catcher can at the plate now chance Cisco and so watch a slider that stays inside for ball one. Britain a six foot three inch left hander. He was selected in the third round during the first year player draft of 2006. Yeah he has turned himself into a really nice ball player. I wouldn't put him on a superstar level. But you know what they didn't miss with this pick either. You go into high rounds and you carve out a career the way this guy has. Nice pick late that time for a strike. Two balls and two strikes the count to chance Cisco 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 to two pitches found away pitch on the way when you're playing close games like this base runners mean everything so he can ill afford to start giving away free passes and he can only battle for so long as he's finally set down here after an eight pitch at bat. Pretty clear he didn't like to call there on the outside part of the plate but probably too good to take and he's down on strikes for the second time. Yeah that pitch was right on the black beautiful pitch and even if we had robot arms he'd still be out. But the only difference would be he wouldn't be able to complain about it. Standing in Austin Hayes 0-1 the count pitch on the way one out nobody on any strikes him out as well. So make it back to back punch outs here to the first two men he faces out of the bullpen. No problems for him in the mountains he's come out of the pen to start this and that's back to back case and he's making it look pretty easy. This has the makings of a good outing so far. Stepping in now Anthony Santander Sibley off a slider too low ball one one for two in the ball game thus far can't get around quick enough and that'll move the count to one and one and he takes one off the inside corner for bull to two out nobody on again he sends it out of play another one sent foul fouled away eighth pitch of the ad that is the one that finally does it as he wears him down and the inning is over three on three down for the Orioles no change in the score it's three to three you're at the Castro gets the call from the pen to take over on the mound and start the home of seventh Miguel ready now Kyle Higashiyoka he'll start things out here in the bottom of any number seven Kyle Higashiyoka first pitch on its way it out towards second and that'll get through in the center so there's your possible go ahead run on base now to lead off the inning now to the plate now Miguel on Doha and it's brown to just foul down the line he's got a hit in three at bats to this point was he ever fooled on that pitch it's 0 and 2 now made him look silly with that one ready on 0 and 2 and it's fouled away working for the punch out and the offering got him and that's the third time we've written a case in the next to his name in this one that was some nice execution on that pitch about spotted it 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 the second baseman DJ LeMay here as the first pitch to him runs a bit inside for ball one he could really use a knock here 0 for three in the game so far his offer of added miss for the first strike is laid off for ball two big sweeping breaking ball right there a good pitch but if he wants to get him to swing at it you'll have to bring it in a little bit closer to the strike zone here's a ball swung on and lofted in the air out toward right center and that's in there base hit and with that the go ahead runs up to second now with only one away now battle while that's surprising right there error run tactic used to perfection balls hit to the outfield the batter does his job I don't know how that runner standing on second still you tip your hat to the outfield to get it in super quick but he's got to take the chance to get the third first pitch of the at bat starts him out with a slider too low for ball one hey this one's tied late in the game as a pitcher right now you just can't lay a cookie in there want to know too much dip on the sinker laid off for a ball a time to start making some quality pitches he finds himself in a tough spot behind an account with guys on base runners are at first and second with one away much too quick on the trigger there it's two and one 88 on a changeup I remember when an 88 mile an hour fastball wasn't all that bad man the game's changing in front of the change up and he can't keep it fair two strikes on him now you guys know me hitting's a process of elimination and I'm eliminating a change up this next pitch I'm on everything else and another foul ball open to send him packing pitch on its way and it's up to a three to full count now don't go too far the dangerous Giancarlo Stanton gets his shot next good battle here this will be the seventh pitch coming up wing and a shot hit on the pitch that nearly broke our tie but instead it's a foul ball next three to lying toward right center and that is down for extra bases is that on a plate that go ahead run and maybe another throw comes in quickly here so that'll hold that go ahead run a third now was still only one away point zero there's nothing he outfield defense playing so deep that that ball looked like it was extra base and that's the way that they were able to cut it off yeah not too many times I would agree I'd love to hear your take on this as well the no doubles defense I kind of never understood it to begin with I felt like a pitcher if he can execute the game plan to keep the ball in front of the outfielders but right there boy I was wrong at work ready with the first pitch here it comes Giancarlo Stanton comes on with one way as he looks at a ball it's one and all hey the bullpen needs to step up in this situation I gotta believe the manager was hoping for way more than this becomes harder to hit the zone when the pressure starts to heat up fouls this one off the two one waves and misses for strike number two hey that's the kind of swing you'd like to see a guy take with the bases loaded he's going for the downs two to hit in the air down the right field line but this will wind up being a follow ball the two to one more time could a called third strike and that go ahead run has to stay right where it is at third with two away now now that is good now a crucial spot bases loaded two men go and that will bring up the exciting middle infieldered labor tour is when to keep it tied here it comes and when a pitcher is putting a tough spot he's usually going to go to walk out of here and that's this guy's slider expect to see that more often comes set the 0 1 that's down it'll give him the lead on the score runners are in the score the bat and you'll take RBI's any way you can get them but when they give your team the lead in the way that it's man that feels good especially especially when you start to score runs like the game that's one makes it feel really good. That's it. Hector Velasquez takes over pitching duties looking to get that final out now here in this seventh inning. Now Tyler Wayne as he swings and lifts it in the air out to left field and that's going to fall for a base hit throw into second to second now but he's safe as a run will score on the play as well. Well that's good. Well that run won't be charged against him but he's still disappointed. His job is to shut the door down when they call on him. He just couldn't get it done there. Clint Frazier as he'll watch one miss down and in for a ball one and 0 0 for 2 for him to this point. Here comes the 1 0 there to take it in for the third out so it's four runs on five hits no errors and a man left. We'll look ahead to ending number eight now. The Yankees lead this one seven to three. Chad Green has been summoned from the bullpen as he'll do so to start the eighth ball set for the start of the inning into the box. Hanser Alberto not providing much out of the three hold in this one. Listen three at bat so far. It doesn't look very promising so far in this one as we move into the later innings down by a bundle. It's time to get some base runners and hopefully a long run. Here's the first pitch to him fastball taken but that gets the zone for a strike. Probably a design take right there. They need base runners so they're going to make him try to bring the ball in the strike zone gets the fastball by him here. He's in control 0 and 2. We're going to see him throw that hard fastball early and often and a sliders in the dirt as he lays off it for a ball. You know he's probably cheating on that inside pitch after he got jammed earlier. If you're on the mound right now you'd want to try to hit that outside corner and there's a pretty good chance you'll get him to roll over something set to deal on a ball and two strikes and he just misses inside with the fastball there. Here's a little chopper up the middle throw on to first in time. So the leadoff man is set down to open up any number eight but that's so here's the cleanup. It was a fly out for him in his last trip. First pitch of the at bat right hander starts to loosen out in the bullpen now. Oh tough to catch up when it's moving like that bases are empty one man out one and two now is that one's fouled off. Here's the pitch. It looked like the fastball got away from him there. The two two. Bounced on the ground and right after shifted infielders on the first and there were two down the bat number and now the designated hitter for the Orioles Andrew Velasquez he's hitless in three at bats to this point. First offering on its way well above the letters with the fastball that time runs outside so it goes to 2 and 0 now and now catch on the way hard hit ball to second throw on the ball takes care of him and the ending is over one two three go the Orioles they're down for it's seven to three on him of any number eight set to go settling in now point he's two for three looking for more here he's set here it comes now here's one hit in the air to the right side and nope this one falls so he'll get another shot. Another one fouled off and he's quickly behind on two nothing in two count and the pitch can't get him to chase. It's one and two yet if you get a guy flailing at a pitch like that heck you're going to go out there and throw that same pitch till he proves he can lay off of it. The one two shot toward right center again a nice clean base hit his third of the game. This guy's obviously seen the ball right now. That's another hard hit single right there. He's looking super solid at the plate. Kyle Higashiyoka at the plate Kyle Higashiyoka as he'll go after the first pitch to him and comes up empty at strike one. He's working on a one for three thus far and one delivery swung on but it's pulled foul wide of third. Now this is hit not all that hard out the second to Iglesias for one but no real shot at two as he saved easily at first. Now batter third base so back to the top of the Yankee order digging in. Miguel on do hard. He struck out swinging in his last trip to the plate kicks and deals can't come out of his game plan right here. He knows he's a known sinker baller. I know it was a four seamer right there. But get back to that two seam. It's what his M.O. is. Just off the outside that time laid off for a ball runners on first with one down two balls in a strike now to the Yankees lead off man favorable call in there for a strike. They'll strike out here yet again as it's been a ballgame to forget thus far for strike out. Wow he's just a lost now this one. That's the fourth time he struck out in this game alone and that's not something you'll forget very quickly. That's about it. Bad of a day as you can have. And that sends DJ LaMague into the box as the first pitch misses to him. It's ball one. He comes into this appearance in the midst of a one for four day. That evens it up one and one to out with the man at first ball two and one. I got to one the count. Here's the two one home. All three. Well this has been a long inning already. And I know he doesn't want it to get any longer. I expect a challenge pitch right here. In one pitch and a good at bat that time as he lays off for ball four and as a result that will move a runner up into scoring position now with two away. No right fielder number ninety nine. Here's big Aaron judge. First pitch coming here it is and that swung on and missed for strike one after the walk and with runners on the bags he couldn't afford to fall behind here. Nice job of jumping ahead with strike one. Two down runners at first and second and that misses one and one. And he lays off for a ball two and one. Hey lots of guys get too aggressive in a spot like this but he's done a nice job of gaining some count leverage. Look for him to put the ball and play hard in there two and two sinker three and two now for the guy in the mound this is one of those innings where nothing comes easy. He's thrown a bunch of pitches and this A.B. hasn't been any different. Definitely laboring at the moment. Two men are on with two men out. Speed pitch swung on and missed and with that the side is retired. Yanks strand a pair but they lead it by four it's seven to three. All set to start the ninth in this one in now Rio Ruiz. He went down on strikes last time up. He's ready. Here's the first offering ball slider laid off for a ball. Boy that's a tough pitch to take right there. I'm not sure if you're guessing or you're sitting on a pitch but boy that was awfully close to being called a strike and got caught lunging there as this one's filed away and no complaint about that one that's a strike and it's one and two. Here's the pitch and a swing and a miss good pitch there for the first out here in the ninth the batter with the plate pose a glaciers two base hits both singles to this point. First pitch of the at bat and he popped him up but this will land untouched he said here's the 0 1 lifted down the line and left and this will wind up a foul ball nothing in two count and the pitch one ball two strikes a slider in there for a called third strike and there are two gone now. Well we've seen some really good pitching from these guys and this one the bullpeners look sharp and it backed up a nice effort turned in by the starter these days pitching has become a full staff effort and I've been impressed with the job these guys have done so far into the box now DJ Stewart as he will look at a first pitch fastball for ball one he's got a hit in three at bats to this point is swung on and missed strike one his heaters got some late ride through the zone a lot of late swings right now you're only going to get to that pitch if you get the front foot down early he said here comes the 1 1 he pulls this one into right but he will make the catch on the hard hit ball out there and that will conclude matters here as this ballgame is over. Hey one of the keys to having a good record in baseball is to win some games at home so this was a big win to win at home in front of their home crowd and this afternoon's game ends seven to three. The Yanks jumped ahead in the seventh inning and never gave the lead back. Zach Britton is credited with the win. So that just about does it for Mark DeRosa.
