 We are under the lights as the show gets you ready for another edition of Major League Baseball a good match up here for you tonight between the Baltimore Orioles and the New York Yankees. Yankees baseball comes your way next. Jonathan LeWisiga will be the starter in this one for the Yankees. Dan Plisac what's the word on him. LeWisiga has a big arm and a good change up to go along with it. He's from Nicaragua that long line of pitchers that come from there. I believe Dennis Martinez is from Nicaragua. This guy is a good fastball low to mid 90s. But the change up is his best pitch. But if he gets that change up over early he can make that 94 95 look 97 98. And the first pitch of the inning here misses down and in for a ball. It's one and oh first pitch seven o'clock. Now the pitch. This is lying to left. But coming on quickly is the left fielder to make the play for the first down. Not exactly. So one away here with the bases empty and that'll bring up the shortstop. Jose Iglesias ready with the first pitch. Here it comes. Went about halfway there but it's a called strike regardless. And we'll see some 40s before things are said and done tonight right now. Fifty one degrees at first pitch. The wind up and the 0 1. 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. And he'll come back with one in the dirt as the count moves to two and one now. Bases are empty one man out. Fastball has looked at for strike two. Let's get it going boys. Somebody's loose hit 98 with ease in the first inning. The two two Anthony Santander waits on deck. Pitch on the way. He lets him off the hook there as this isn't even close for ball four. Well he battled to get it to a three to one. That pitch wasn't even close. Now he's got a man on with one out so he's got to focus on trying to get the ground ball. Stepping in Anthony Santander. You'll get to take his first cuts here. He sat here it comes. A bouncer up the middle. Torres scoops it up. On devoid and ending ending double play. So nothing happening this time around. Orioles nothing. Yankees come into bat. You're watching Major League Baseball on the show. Wade LeBlanc a right hander out of Louisiana will be the starter. Dan please act. What do you got? Hey Matty V this ought to be a fun one to watch. This guy's been around the block for a while but he's having a rock solid season with a real good ERA. It'll be really interesting to see how he attacks his opposing lineup. So coming to the plate. DJ LeMayhew. He'll lead things off here in the bottom half of the first. The second baseman. DJ. Rob Mayhew. And the pitch. Ball one. Ball one. No. Turned on that one and crushed it just pulled it a little foul. He's set. Here comes the one one. 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. Chopper to short. Glacius makes a barehanded play. It's there and he's out. The second. Not shortstop. Waver. So the bases are empty with one man gone. And that will bring up labor torres from the stretch. Time to check our umpires in this one behind the plate is Freddie Ferguson. Hey Dero you better be ready to swing particularly at that low pitch. Freddie Ferguson low ball umpire. Yeah it makes it tough on the offense. I was a guy who liked the low ball but that usually means those guys are susceptible to that slider in the dirt. You have to see the ball up and this guy doesn't give you a chance. One out. Nobody on. Count still did one and two. Swing and a miss on the change up and they're too gone. That swing tells me he was really trying to get a pitch out front and rip it down the line but that wasn't a great pitch to do it on. It's really not the best strike approach either. And digging into the batter's box next will be Giancarlo Stanton. He offers at it and hits it in the air to left. Smith is there and he'll make the catch to retire the side. We've played an inning still nothing nothing. Now batting. Renato Nunez. You'll get us started in the top of the second Renato. First pitch of the at bat on its way. Holds this one in the air out to left left fielder is on the move. He gets there and makes the play for the first out. That's it. The first baseman number nineteen. Chris David. So the base is empty here with one away and up next the left handed power bat of Chris Davis first delivery to him on the way. And he swings through a fastball and doesn't catch up with it. It's 0 and 1. You know on a cold night like this I think you're going to see him continue to elevate pitches and let these guys just fly out to the warning track. Here is a ground ball now for the shortstop to the right of second in time to first in there or two away. That is there. The center fielder Austin. Austin Hayes the next to bat. He's ready. Here's the first offering. Hit down the line at first. This gets foul. It's 0 and 1 still looking for our first hit in the ballgame. Strike two. You know he's had a very economical start out there. Got to the first inning on just nine pitches and he's got a chance to keep it in single digits again here in the second into the wind up. Here comes the 0 2 pitch lifted in the air to straight away left. And Duhar is going to have room out there as he puts this away to retire the side three up three down for the Orioles. We'll go to the bottom of the second. No score. Gary Sanchez. He's going to lead off the home half of the second. The catcher Gary Sanchez. Pitch on the way. 0 1 0 1 pitch. Hit in the air out to left field. Smith is right there as he puts it away. No problem for the first down batting. The center fielder Fred Gardner. So here's the veteran Brett Gardner. He's set and the pitch. Gardner the native of South Carolina. This is his 12th season in the big league. So he's put together a really nice career to this point. Yeah. This guy has had an amazing career. And you know what? It's a testament to how hard he's worked. The changes he's had to make. This is a game of adjustments and you will hang around this long if you're not prepared to make some adjustments along the way. This is the third. It's 3 and 0 now. Well he knows it. But this is the kind of guy you just have to go right after. He's not the biggest threat with the bat. So it's time to challenge him right here. Fastball too high. Ball four. And with the bases empty you don't feel bad about walking that guy. He's capable of taking deep every time he digs in. So it's not the worst thing in the world to work around him if you can. Here's Miguel Andujar now. He's got him here with a runner at first now and one away. Kicks and deals. And this is low ball one. Hey he threw that pitch with a purpose to get a double play. Good job to let it go by though as a hitter. Runners off for second. Here's a swing and a ground ball. And nobody home. A perfect hit and run knock. And they'll have runners at the corners following the one out single. Boy is that a thing of the road right there. Hit and run to perfection Dero. Runners at first and third. That's exactly what you're trying to do. You don't see it in today's game too much. There's a lot of moving parts. A lot of walks homers and strikeouts. But right there manager sets it in motion. And the hitter just executes the perfection. And he's got runners at the corners here with only one gun. One pitch on its way. And here's a swing and a miss as he falls behind nothing in two. A thing in two count and the pitch. Hey I get it he wants to set up that breaking ball down it away. But that 0-2 fastball wasn't even close. Set and the 1-2 pitch. A great pitch there as he couldn't get extended on that one. And he's down on strikes for the second out. Well their chances of pushing across the run took a pretty good hit after that strikeout. It's so much tougher to score a guy from third with two outs instead of one. Basically need a hit or you need to get lucky with a wild pitch or a pass ball. Stepping in now. Look Voight. And so take a look at ball one. And their runners at the corners now. Ready with the 1-0. Great chance right here as a hitter to be really aggressive with two guys already on. Pretty good shot. He's going to get a challenge pitch right here. Bottom of the second here with no score. Plot thickens here 3 and 0. Ready with the 3 and 0. Rip down the line. And this is going to be a foul ball. Out of the stretch the 3-1 hole. This is lying to left. And a base head is the 1-0 score from third and the Yankees score first. It's 1-0. Voight talking about picking your teammate up after that strikeout. Big, big, I mean big. Too hard RBI single. Yeah way to come through for your team. When you take the donut off your bat right there you're trying to pick up your teammate. He had the right game plan didn't come outside it. Stayed through the baseball and was able to come through. To the plate now, Clint Frazier has the first pitch misses to him. It's ball one. Two's all over the place. Two on, two out and of course here in inning number two. 1 and 0 here it is. Popped him up. Davis in foul ground and that retires the side. Some of our nation's young minds and future leaders here in attendance. Yikes. Three of us are back after this message and a word from our local stations. Coming to the plate now. Pat Velika, 7-8-9 bottom of the order set to go here in the third. Velika. First pitch on its way. Hey. Great pitch right there. That is a huge breaking ball. Not shocked he took it. Gotta calibrate that one for a second. Gets the fastball by him here and he's in control 0-1-2. The MO of this pitcher in the early going is certainly establishing the inside part of the plate. He has been dominant. Sometimes you just gotta tip your hat if a guy can effectively, consistently pitch inside like he is. So he got him swinging. Pat Velika goes down for the first out here in inning number three. At the plate now, Dwight Smith Jr. The fastball here is he'll take a look at ball one. 1 and 0. He goes way out to left center. Left fielder is on the move. He gets there and that's the second out. That a 9. The catcher number 28, Pedro Severino. Pedro Severino digs in at the plate. This guy is still looking at a 0 when they hit column. Here's the first pitch to him and this ball is popped up drifting back behind the mound. And the side is retired. One, two, three go the Orioles. They're down one nothing. So it's back to the top of the order now and that will bring DJ LeMayhew. The second baseman. DJ LeMayhew comes set. Here's the nothing and nothing pitch and he lays off there one and 0. Good swing just got to try and straighten that one out. Two balls and a strike now to the Yankees and a run. Soft liner towards short and this will be flagged down easily for the first out of the inning. The battle. The shortstop. Waber Torres. Next for New York. Torres he was a strikeout victim in his first try. Yeah, but it was a good change up Matty. Good arm action on that pitch. Look for him to try and stay back and this pitcher tries to rush a heater right here. There's a fastball on the inner third taken for a strike. Here comes the 0 1 bases are empty one man out lying to second where it's caught there for route number two now batter the designated hitter John Carlos Stanton he flew out in his last at bat almost Matty almost went deep into the first half of the game and he missed a big certainly just missed it with this guy's big power he's feeling pretty good at the dish look for him to try and get on something and drive it out of the yard this a big one and oh the count bases are empty here with two men out grounded back up the middle Alberto loves it throw in the dirt but a good scoop at first saves an error ball set for the start of the inning now with the play Hanser Alberto hit it hard but lined out in his first at bat and that was one of the hardest hit balls they've had all game Matty it's been a pretty feeble effort by his teammates on the offensive side 1 1 no strike hit in the air to center field Gardner is right there one down now batter so with the fly out there coming on the fastball I can appropriate time to check out our pitch speed comparison for these two starters and boy which of those two numbers leap out at you there how about the 100 my goodness lead off man retired now for the shortstop Jose Iglesias first offering on its way starts things here with a change up for a called strike and one and one is this one's in on the hands wanted to get the front door curveball on the inside corner there but it backed up a little and stayed off the corner one one home swing and a flair hit to a great and the Orioles had their first hit of the game Anthony Santander the next to bat that's lifted the other way out to left and do harm is there to put it away and the runner will be forced to retreat back to first now that is designated here Renato so digging in now Renato Nunez comes into this at bat 0 for one in the ballgame first pitch coming here it is all in no strikes here it is swinging a miss out in front of a change up one one swung on and missed and that strike to the Iglesias is off a first with swing and a change up here but that's taken low in the dirt for a ball hey they tried to tie him up on that last pitch so I like that they went away with this one the execution didn't work but I like the idea behind it swung on and missed and that's the final out of the inning they're on the short end of a one to nothing score at the plate Gary Sanchez lead us off in the home half of the fourth inning here's the first pitch to him hits this one hard the other way fielded cleanly by Davis and he'll flip into the pitcher covering for the out the batter the center fielder Brett Gardner standing in Brett Gardner he worked a walk and came around to score in his first trip in this game on the stretch here's the pitch fastball taken but that gets the zone for a strike it's not always about filling up the strike zone all the time every inning he's pitching well as we're moving into the middle innings but interestingly less than 50% of his first pitches have been for strikes ready with the 0 2 nope as a hitter you got to be staunch in your game plan you know he has a nasty change up and you got to fight to make sure it's in the zone that's a great take right there still a ball and two strikes here's another one to one run two hits and no errors for the Yankees so far to two balls and two strikes now these are the great matchups that happen throughout the course of the game I don't think as a pitcher you can give in right here he's a great hitter at the plate he knows it you know it keep executing maybe get him to roll something over here now the two two is a wave of the miss he struck him out anytime a pitcher locates a fastball on the inside corner it's going to be a tough pitch no left field that one was spot on he had no answer for it and that'll bring up Miguel and do hard as he looks at a fastball that's in there for strike one one for one after a single this first time up he's ready here's the 0 1 well below the knees laid off on the change up there grounded down the third base line but this will get now it's a ball and two strikes looking for the strikeout here's the 1 2 and he comes back with a fastball strike 3 called and the inning is over 1 2 3 go the bombers but they're up 1 to nothing welcome back Heidi Watney standing by as we get set for the top of the fifth matter had a chance to discuss the state of the Orioles offense with their manager between innings and he said they just aren't putting enough competitive at bats together right now because they need to slow the game down a little bit when they get into the box top to bottom they're hitting into way too many outs early in the count and not letting the app bats develop his offer picking on a good pitch to hit when it comes but they need to make sure they're doing more damage on the swings that they're taking OK thank you Heidi the first baseman number stepping in Chris Davis he got on top of one it was a ground out victim last time the first pitch and he gets ahead 0 and 1 shocked he didn't let it fly right there usually you're looking for a fastball elevated to get the party started bullet back up the middle he dives did he catch that he did what a play there for the first down the center field often now with the play Austin Hayes he's 0 for 1 thus far first pitch of the at bat on its way at the ball lying to the right side and that's a base hit 1 for 2 in his first couple of plate appearances well that's only the second hit he's given up tonight and the first one didn't do any damage so he's not sweating this one at all they haven't been able to string anything together that'll bring in the versatile Pat like as he rips it on the ground a second all but the feet of the first stop is off the mark won't get him as he's able to advance from 1st to 3rd on what would certainly be scored a throwing error oh this is kind of unforgivable for the second baseman he tries to square himself to the throw the second to start the double plane I'm not sure what happened next maybe his cleats got stuck or maybe he just lost the grip but the net result is e4 with two men on board into the box now Dwight Smith Jr. strike one one count here it comes thought about it here but he lays off the breaking ball inside it's even at one here down the right field line but this will wind up being a foul ball no runs three hits and no errors for the Orioles so far like the fastball got away from him there it's ball two full count now three and two Pedro Severino waits on deck three to pick up is a swing and a miss that strike three it's been a really rough day for this lineup there's really no other way to say it not a lot of good scoring opportunities and when they've had them like right now it's just been an uphill battle for them to make anything positive happen now Pedro Severino has the first pitch to him is in there for strike one 0 for one for him here in this one he lays the runner at third Valica at second with two gone one and two now as that one's fouled off here comes the one and two well fastball up and in I'm not sure it was intended to be that far up in that far in but message said beware on strikes so they get too many to scoring position but that's as far as they'll get as the side is retired back to back strikeouts here in the center Mark Dan and I are back with more after this another chance to put the ball in play here you went down on strikes in his first half bat he's got to put that one behind them especially with runners in scoring position those punchouts will stick with you a little longer first offering on its way line drive to left and that find some outfield grass it's underway hey so far it's been easy pickings for this pitcher he's gone through this lineup almost unscathed for right there leadoff single middle part of the game let's see if he makes an adjustment before they do at the plate Luke Voight as he'll take a look at a pitch too low it's ball one base hit in his first trip following a strike wow that changeup is an absolute view they call it the great equalizer for a reason ball one misses for the second ball 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 swung on and missed both clubs with three hits in the ballgame hit down the third base line but this is going to be a foul ball as that keeps things at two and two working for the punch out and the offering outside but this will be a foul ball he's set here's the two two grounded to third this could be two there's one related Davis and indeed it's a double play made a lot of pitches than that at bat but he'll take the double plays a tradeoff for sure settling in now Clint Frazier over one after a pop out in foul territory his first time through yeah Matt he's got to make an open swing definitely broke down dropped his back shoulder and thus the result was a terrible pop up foul changed up on him and dropped it in for a called strike strike swinging timing a little off on that one he's ready here's the oh two pitch and the inning goes away in unceremonious fashion on a swing and a miss at a ball way outside the strike zone fair to say oh my goodness these folks are not headed to a career on Broadway don't touch that dial or the remote for that matter more on the show right after this and digging into the batter's box will be hands around Berto and Dan he and his fellow top of the order hitters haven't really offered much help for this lineup so far no you're one two three guys are the ones you look to to generate a lot of action and they just haven't been up to the task so far in this one still first pitch here it comes 50th pitch of the game on its way and this catches the zone as well it's 0 and 2 now your idea of working account goes out the window you're frustrated right now down 0 2 got to find a way to grind off speed pitch in the dirt as he takes it for a ball a curve ball that's in the dirt that time and it's back to even so you'd love for him to offer at that one but the execution was flawless nice curveball that starts in the zone and breaks just out just a great take by the batter swung on but it's pulled foul wide of third the 2 2 one more time curveball got him swinging for the first down pretty textbook breaking ball for the punch out right there got it to bend a lot and by the time it got out there not much he can do with that pitch here's the shortstop now Jose Iglesias as the first pitch to him's a change up that can't find the zone it's ball one it was a single for him in his last at bat liner towards second throw in time at first for outnumber two man you can hit a ball any harder than that I mean this ball gets on him in a heartbeat nice job to stay with it though and then for another shot now Anthony Santander it was a flyout for him in his last trip first pitch coming here it is fastball was too much for him there swung right through it I know it's cliche and it's tired at times but a well located fastball down at the knees is still the best pitch in the game and right into the shift but this will wind up a foul ball strike to the wind up and the first pitch one ball two strikes down hey the fish ain't biting there on that oh two breaking ball but you got to be careful because this pitcher might throw another one here's the one and two delivery now here's the ball hit high and deep to straight away right field and he will crash into the wall but hold on to it there for the final out of the inning one more look at the final out a teeth rattler if ever there in this and that sends DJ LeMahieu into the box third to the plate for him here tonight second big two at this point yeah first pitch to him hit out toward second way to get dirty the first wow big league the hole right there and that's a pretty good example of white getting hits at this level is so difficult you know he was running down the line thinking for real really kidding me stepping into the box he's 0 for 2 thus far in this one now the pitch round ball sent back up the middle and that'll get on through into center and he's got himself a one out hit boy dear what's about time they got something brewing here single it maybe now they can start to get some traffic on the basis yeah absolutely ambush tactics not always the time but sometimes desperate desperate measures Giancarlo Stanton now and she'll take a look at ball one 0 for two for him to this point two balls and no strikes the count to Stanton clearly working the bottom of the zone trying to get a ground ball for a double play two balls and a strike change up called a strike and he comes back even a two and two from the belt kicks and deals two we could see the runner in motion here on a 3 2 count with one out there's a pretty good chance he's going to get a pitch to swing it and if not it's ball for anyways pay off pitch line hard but foul when the guy on the mound has complete command of his off speed specially exchange up sometimes as a hitter you just have to give up pull side to stay on it no off it from the first man that's just painful for a pitcher now better get to operate right on the corner but he couldn't get him to chase and he doesn't get the call can't beat yourself up about that with too much striding in Gary Sanchez he's hit listen is to at bats so far first pitch of the at bat on its way down and in here one ball no strikes well the Yankees have been searching for that big hit pretty clean it remains to see if they can get it but now it sure would be a good time the 1 0 has taken strike one great job of doubling up with the fastball inside a lot of times you'll see a pitcher go in there but they won't go back in there a second time this guy's not afraid to pitch inside Torres at second Stanton is over at first with one away well no offer on that one two balls in a strike boy this guy he's digging on the mound is all his doing if you can't throw strikes you're not going to be out there very long ball three three and one 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 torn quality pitches three one swing and a miss and that will fill the count at three and two hey this pitcher better be careful right here my man at the plate is not trying to push too close for comfort and he did a good job just to make contact three two one more time and he misses again ball four and that's back to back guys now that have reached base via the base on ball well it's obvious he wanted absolutely no part of the three or four hole hitters but he's got to focus here because this guy the five hole is just as dangerous here comes the Baltimore skipper out of the dug out on his way to the mound to Wade LeBlanc so he'll depart after five and a third innings of work and with no shot to win the decision Sean Armstrong is called upon to pitch really needing that double play ball bases are loaded here with only one man out first to meet him here and they'll do so in an enviable situation indeed bases loaded and only one out now from the stretch so important getting ahead with the bases loaded already a difficult situation so you don't want to make it any harder by falling behind an account here's a cutter that's off the plate one and one kicks and deals bases are loaded here one man out who fouls this one off the one to swung on and missed he got him on strikes man I love watching a picture that just rears back and blows smoke by now that's the ultimate challenge for me personally I'm watching swing and miss man that's a sight of beauty in now Miguel and he'll try and hold off the swing but this one's in there for strike one he's one for two in this one swings through it for strike number two but a good one and two looks like the lefty and right hander throwing in the Baltimore bullpen ready with the one to turned on down the line this is a foul ball as the count holds steady at one and two great job of running that fastball in on his hands right there with two strikes even though the batter's able to foul at one off he set up for almost anything in this pitchers arsenal hold high in the air out to left field you'll get there in plenty of time to put this one away and that ends the inning Yankees leave them loaded but they're on top one to nothing here's in two trips to the plate for him in the ballgame this thing's far from over even though we're moving into the back into this game only down by one all they need to do is get this leadoff guy and they're an extra base hit away from tying this thing up swing and a miss oh and one even though we're late into this ballgame this guy's deal is still top notch this guy's a horse 0 1 on its way at the ball he's going to loosen now in the bullpen 1 1 I got 2 1 the count ball called strike 3 and there's the first down to the inning I think we're starting to see the frustration now 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 we'll wear on yet that last throughout most of the game like it has here Chris Davis hit the 1 on the fastball here no balls in a strike hey it's always key getting early strikes in account this guy's been awesome at it so far more than 70% of his first pitches have been in the strike zone the wind up and the 0 1 setting him up inside as he swings and misses for strike 2 he's still looking great to me out there on the mound punched out the first guy in the seventh and he's jumped ahead in the count right this game a while longer a ball and two strikes now the 1 2 and he makes good contact there but this is going to find the stands foul down the right field buying one out nobody on swing and a miss on the fastball that time out number 2 I'll tell you right now this guy has a shutout going and it's been all business he's not messing around trying to pick at corners he's being aggressive in the zone and he's attacking each and so now to the play Austin Hayes as he'll go after the first pitch to him and comes up empty at strike one a hidden two tries for him so far into the wind up here comes the 0 and 1 curveball swing and a miss and he's behind in the count 0 and 2 boy he's been great in this one he's only one strike away from putting another 0 on the scoreboard well above the letters with the basic pitching right there 0 2 fastball up and out of the zone change the eye level now time to go to that curveball down and away even count two balls and two strikes the 2 2 fly ball out toward right field Frazier is under it and he makes the catch for number 3 3 up 3 down for the Orioles they still trail 1-0 and plate Michelle last time through the base in number 29 here comes the first pitch and this one runs up high ball one this one's outside quite a bit off the plate that time no offer at that point it's a cold strike bouncer up the middle and the throw is wide as it pulls the first baseman off the bag now particularly graceful there and as a result he'll be slapped with an E4 on the play those striding forward now look boy his prior history versus this arm he's two for four ready to deliver here's the first pitch and that's by him it's 0 and 1 he got a swing and a miss on that last pitch but that's not the location he wants to live in against a hitter of this quality one count and the pitch now a fastball that's taken close that time but it's one and one two balls and a first baseman popped into the year back behind second Alberto has a play one away now that that's exactly what they wanted out of that pitch up in the zone they took him up the ladder and he couldn't get up to it so that was an easy pop out well executed pitch there striding into the box Clint Frazier 0 for 2 from him so far in this one first offering on its way a swing high drive left field and deep but this is out of reach and off the wall long throw to third and they'll have runners at second and third following the one out double well this guy has proven he can make some athletic plays in the field and he takes a decent route to the baseball here but I'm not sure anybody is going to bring this one in ends up out of his reach and bangs up off the wall you go with things at the platform so far but his guys are looking for him to change that right here yeah nothing better than coming through for the boys in a tight game at especially when you're kind of due to do something productive first pitch of the at bat on its way not close with that one it's way above the strike zone props to the hitter right there for laying off with a guy on third you want to be aggressive there a ball and a strike for Shella on third Frazier at second with one away try to hold back the swing but he'll do so unsuccessfully as that's ruled a strike the one to swing in a little blooper to center here comes Hayes he can't get to it this one's down and the runner from second is into score it's a three nothing game hey Dero that's a big RBI right there to stretch this lead to three takes a lot of pressure off your picture going to the bottom part of the inning yeah Dan no doubt as an offense all you're trying to do is put your pitchers in positions to be successful giving them that three run cushion has to make you feel good and that'll bring up Glibertura lays off one and oh runners on first with one down on the line and fair that's a hit and this will find the wall deep in the corner is in there there's not really much the pitch you can do about that one down in the zone where he wanted it but it was just a solid ball goes down and gets it and pulls it into the corner for extra bases as you know Dan sometimes the hitter just Miguel Castro has given up all here to try to work out of a tough situation two runners in scoring position to deal with Giancarlo Stanton will be the first to face him here as one away from the stretch and 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 second and third here one man out hitting the air down the right field line and that gets over the wall now but both runners will score anyway there's an interesting play right there they select he hits a ground rule double which forces the run from second and third to come in to score at the plate now Gary Sanchez and so watch a slider that runs out of the strike zone away for ball one he's over two in the ballgame so far one and a pitch on the way a swing and a shot hit down the corner but it bends just fouled into the second deck four runs here in this half inning one and two to the Yankees catcher one gets away and he's going to make it up the third here as he advances on the wild pitch that can be a tough read as a runner on second to see if the ball has gotten away enough to move the third you have to be sure you can make it he was there and now he's only 90 feet away ready with the two and two full count three and two and this is a strike three called oh caught a break two away well that call looked like it was a little in the pictures favor but it wasn't outrageous hey listen calling balls and strikes is a really tough job and even the best are going to miss some from time to time especially when they're sort of borderline like that last one not sure the hitter would want to hear that though first delivery to him on the way just a bit too much run on the sinker that time as it misses off the outside for ball one lifetime against this particular arm he's playing for nine that's inside two and oh Castro is at least partially known for his big power slider a lot of break on that pitch but what makes it unique is how hard he's able to throw it here's the two and oh pitch to Gartner three and oh now there's ball four up next for the Yankee no left fielder meeting in Miguel Ando two outs and two runners aboard here in the seventh inning here's the first delivery to him and when you're already down five the last thing you want to do is fall behind in the count when you're on the mound that's not going to do anything to help you get back into this thing here's the one oh look like the sinker there dip a little below the knees boy this is getting tough to watch how about some strikes right here down low and the plot thickens here three and oh that's where he wants that sinker to end up but that was a nice job of laying off runners at the corners two men out and he misses again ball four and that's back to back guys now that have reached base via the base on ball that's a big no no he obviously had to work carefully with two men on but he did not want to walk him to load the bases now he's really got his work cut off for him we'll see how he fares here that'll bring in Giovanni your shell out he hits here in a spot where he might be able to put this one out of reach yeah that down five another run across here could very well put the nail in the coffin mentally they might still feel like they've got a shot if they could get out of this jam though first pitch of the at bat on its way it's pretty tough for a hitter to go up there looking for a first pitch change up and a good job of dropping it in for strike one one count and the pitch easy fly ball into shallow center field here comes Hayes he gets there to make the play and that ends the inning so four score in the ending but it could have been much much worse as they wind up leaving the bases loaded eighth inning coming up the Yankees lead this one five to nothing in now for the O's at the Leica he'll try and do what he can to work for cutting into this big deficit first pitch on its way pulls the string on that one one strike hey there's an old saying in baseball you need to take a strike in this spot well he got one there now he just needs to find a way to get on and that misses downstairs for a ball one and one double barreled action in the Yankee bullpen now a lefty and a right-hander start to get loose slap hard the opposite way and a base hit so the leadoff man is on to begin the inning boy Dero the game of baseball has changed there's so much velocity in the game that was a ninety six mile an hour fastball that he smoked the other way yeah you have to keep your front shoulder top right there you have to honor when a guy's throwing that hard ninety six miles an hour you have to honor that fastball and try and work it the other way to keep you on the off speed standing in now Dwight Smith Jr. Oh and won the count swaying in a miss and he's quickly in the hole Oh and to gotta believe the pitchers gonna trust his defense right here look for something down in his own to induce a ground ball double play the Leica a board here at first with nobody out and a breaking ball in the dirt that time for a ball there is this is hit softly to third we may hear for one on the first but not in time as he's in there ahead of the throw up next for the Oreo the catcher Pedro Severino digging in to try it again Pedro Severino he's popped out and struck out in his first two plate appearances he sat here it comes and a ball one and all runner at first year one man out fastball well outside over the outside half and it's two and one gutsy pitch right there to change up for a strike good call by the catcher great execution by the pitcher three and one well he really needs to make this guy swing the bat right here he's not the type of hitter you want to dance around with runners on first with one down three and two I think it's a real possibility that they put that run on first in motion that would help them stay out of that double play that would end the inning but that's also kind of risky at the same time trying to send them packing for the second time this one's down to third oh it takes a nasty hop and he's unable to haul it in hey this might be their best opportunity to at least get on the board they've been struggling offensively and they find themselves with two runners on board let's see if they can continue it here comes the Yankee manager now up out of the dugout on his way to the mound and a change is forthcoming is that's going to do it for his starter here this evening so this home crowd likely to give him a standing oh as he departs with the shutout in check and a nice tip of the cap there to acknowledge a job well done Adam Ottovino makes the mound to try to get out of this mess there are two on with only one away now back to the top of the lineup stepping in Hanser Alberto and his guys are looking to erase that donut on the scoreboard with the runner in scoring position. Yeah Matt they've been really shut down so far in this one they've had runners on base but haven't been able to string anything together. First pitch of the at bat his head to head numbers against Adam Ottovino just a couple of matchups no hits in two at bats first and second now one man out fastball misses inside it's even at one when you've got a guy that throws a good to seen fastball you have to be ready for him to try to run it inside and jam you a good job to lay off that one but I wouldn't be surprised if we see it again. One one home takes a pass and misses that strike to one and two and he lays off a pitch outside as they draw even at two and two a doubled up on breaking balls there outside now might be the time to bust that fastball in runners are at first and second with one away started to go did he hold up in time. Yes says the first base umpire it's ball three now out of three and two pitch swing and a liner foul again he sends it out of play making him work out there the ninth pitch of the at bat coming up and he misses ball four so he comes out of the bullpen and immediately walks the first man he faces now batter the shortstop was a digging in once again Jose Iglesias a hidden two at bats for him at this point in the ballgame the liver here's the first pitch lofted in the air out toward right center after it is Gardner he's there to make the catch and here comes the runner from third as this should get him on the board and they're going to get on the board here with the sack fly but there's still work to be done down five to one. Now that that's a spot right there as a pitch where you'll trade in out for a run at any time bases loaded and only one run scores on the sacrifice fly stepping up now Anthony Santander and he's offer in this one batting out of the three spot. Here comes the first pitch oh and one here it comes and a slider just about gets away from him there as it runs in a bit too close for comfort two down runners at first and second a little behind on that swing and now he'll try to shorten up maybe and protect the plate the one to swing and a chopper down the first baseline but this is a foul ball as the count holds steady at one and two and here's a pitch inside and that got him as a manager you never really want to put a man on by pitch but you absolutely hate to have it happen when it loads the bases now the pitcher is looking a little shaky and the threat of a beginning is very real Strading forward now is the pitch Ronaldo Nunez over three with a couple of strikeouts for him to this point in the ball game from the stretch but it's way the 0 1 pitch got him out of his front footage 0 and 2 he put himself in a good position jumping ahead 0 and 2 with the bases loaded now we'll see if he can finish it off nothing in two count and the pitch and he struck out again that's the third time he's gone down on strikes in this one Orioles home shuttle for one home half of the eighth straight ahead the Yankees lead it five to one wall fry is on the pitch out of the bullpen in the bottom half of the eighth number fifty one all right ready to go for the last half of the year now with the plate Luke voice the first baseman Luke first pitch coming here it is into the wind up here comes the 0 and 1 swung on and missed he didn't even come close to contact on a ball way out of the zone one out you hear that phrase climb the ladder all the time now that's pretty much what he did right there when you change the hitters eye level with pitch pitch and added bat it becomes very hard for him to adjust and put the bat on the ball he made that strike out look real easy and now Clint Frazier as he will take a fastball in there at the knees for strike one he's got a hit in three at bats to this point the 0 1 bowl that did bases are empty one man out go off speed here as this pitch misses it's two and one and it's fouled away a two and two count here's the pitch fouled off here's another two to and he strikes him out as well so make it back to back punch outs here to the first two men he faces out of the bullpen no problems for him on the mound since he's come out of the pen to start this game that's back to back plays and he's making it look pretty easy this has the makings of a good outing so far at the plate DJ LaMahieu as he'll come up empty there as he misses the off speed pitch for strike one he comes into this appearance in the midst of a one for four day wind up and the 0 1 there seem to be different philosophies on it so Dan what was your approach at 0 2 counts my philosophy is this I think the last thing you want to do is throw non-competitive pitches Matt throw something down in the zone or just out of the zone but something way out of the zone doesn't serve any purpose here's a fastball in on the fist and that'll even things up at two and two five one our score as we play the eighth goes down and gets it as this is bounced ashore a glaciers is there throw on to Davis takes care of him and that'll end the inning so the Yanks go one two three they're up five to one Jonathan Holder comes on from the pen hoping to finish this one off here in the top of the ninth number fifty six Jonathan Holder new winning set to get underway here's Chris Davis now he's hit less in three at bats to this point Chris David first pitch on its way ninth inning begins as the first pitch is taken for ball one into his wind up here comes the one oh slap hard the opposite way and that'll get down out there near the wall he's going to get to second now with nobody out while this is a perfect example of a widely veteran doing what needs to be done to deliver for his team yeah and just watch this swing instead of trying to do too much with it and pull it he stays inside the ball and is able to smack it to the opposite field for a double into the box now Austin Hayes as the first pitch to him runs a bit inside for ball one he's working on a one for three thus far the one oh hit on the ground out to short for his brings it in and there's one down now up next for the Orioles the third baseman Pat coming to the plate now like a he singled his last time up yeah and they take another single right here that third base coaches dying to wave his arms I wouldn't be surprised if anything hit hard through the infield he's going to wave him sends that one out of play for strike one one one here it comes well out in front of the breaking ball there for a strike out in front of that one but he stays alive and we'll do it again on 0 and 2 nothing in two count and the pitch and a wave and a miss on a ball that was way out of the strike zone there are two away now pretty textbook pitching right there jump ahead and count 0 2 white and start working outside the zone easier said than done but that's the way to do it. Stepping in now Dwight Smith Junior has with two away he'll swing and miss at the first pitch its own one. He could really use a knock here over three in the game so far. The pitch is this is swung on and missed and now they're down to perhaps their final strike of the evening. Proud of over thirty nine thousand on their feet he struck him out and it's always nice to give your fans at home something to cheer about and they definitely did that right here coming through with a big win at home. Tonight's game comes to an end five to one the final score so the Bronx bombers took the lead in the second inning and rode that until the very end. Jonathan LeWisega earns the victory on the mound.
