 We are under the lights as the show gets you ready for another edition of Major League Baseball Coming up. We've got a good matchup in store between the New York Yankees and the Texas Rangers It's Rangers baseball and it comes your way next Lance Lynn is on the mound for game two Dan any thoughts? Hey, Maddy V We're getting a chance to watch your guy that's been struggling a little bit lately in his last three starts He has a whip of over one point four zero So he's gonna have to cut that down limit the amount of base runners Limit the amount of walks if he wants to have some success in this one here today into the box now Mike Tuckman and we are set for baseball here this evening Behind on that one now behind in the count 0 and 1 Another one fouled off and he's quickly behind 0 and 2 Pitch there is this is swung on and missed for the first out of the ball game. This is a pitch I think we'll see a lot from him in this game the cutter darting in on the hitters in the opposite batter's box It can be a real effective pitch when it's located well, and that one was right there That'll bring in Giovanni your shell up As he will take a fastball in there at the knees for strike one and fellows you take a look at this Rangers team entering play here tonight They've had it go in the last ten games There's seven and three over that stretch including a win last time out. Yeah, Maddy They've been playing some quality baseball the first four games of this home stand They've taken three out of the first four looking to capitalize and continue to play good ball today You know Dero, this is time to get greedy when you win three of the first four boy If you could win four of the first five that's up to sets up a really nice stretch of baseball They'd love to win this one here today and keep that roll going And he founds this one off Checked his swing there. Did he go around? No says the first base umpire ball one ready on one and two The mercury has dipped under 50 49 degrees here at first pitch One out nobody on now a fastball inside and he works it back to a full count now To be honest with you I'm a little bit more afraid the guy on deck than 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 and this is pop foul But perhaps playable behind first, but this will land untouched high in the air down the right field line Right fielder is on the run and he makes the catch in the corner Not in first the white fielder number 99 Aaron So coming to the plate Aaron judge and he does so riding a nine-game hitting streak So he's certainly a threat with the bat right now first delivery to him on the way Kerbal just misses apparently one and oh Wanted to get the front door kerbal on the inside corner there, but it backed up a little and stayed off the corner Two out nobody on tried to get the arms extended, but he couldn't one-on-one and the pitch I don't blame him for not coming over the heart of the plate He circled this guy on the lineup card when he got to the yard today He's been swinging one of the hotter bats in the game the two one Gary Sanchez would be next if they can keep this ending alive And it's up to a three-two full count now and we'll have the first base runner of the ballgame here Is that misses and it's a two-out walk 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 up or he can really hurt So here's the cleanup hitter Gary Sanchez man at first after the two-out walk. He's set now the pitch Watches a fastball right there for strike one That was a pretty good fastball after he walked the hitter previous. There was a little angry on that heater Here's the 0-1 pitch Good curve ball there against the swing and miss. I just think after seeing both those pitches right there 96 you have to be on the fastball or you're not going to catch up if you're sitting off speed that fastball is going to blow right by You and the inning goes away and Unceremonious fashion on a swing and a miss at a ball way outside the strike zone one left for the Yankees It's the Yankees nothing Rangers coming to bat on Major League Baseball the show Jordan Montgomery gets the ball for the Yankees in this one Dan, please act. What do you got really like this guy? It reminds me a lot of Andy Pettit left-hander from the University of South Carolina Not an overpowering fastball kind of like Andy Pettit low to mid 90s fastball good curveball His secondary pitches he needs to improve on a little bit, but this guy has a bright future Quality arm from the left side so coming to the plate Elvis and Bruce It'll leave things off here in the bottom half of the first Curveball and that misses in the dirt for ball one and as the Yankees get started here tonight guys Despite the loss last time out they enter this one in good shape winners in seven of their last ten Yeah, Maddie this road trip has been a little bit of a struggle for this team first four games They find themselves one and three haven't played particularly well They'll find a way to regroup they have to find a way to play a little bit more fundamentally sound start there first Two balls in a strike to the Rangers leadoff hitter Lifted in the air out towards left center Tokman is right there one down Stepping up now hunter Cole and he's looking to get it going off to a bit of a slow start this year Here's the first pitch to him Breaking ball below the zone. That's ball one and a good heater as he just watches this baby a ball in a strike Faces are empty one man out. I changed things up on him And he got him to swing through it one and two now and a fastball swung on and missed as he just reared back There two away with how hard guys throw these days 94 miles an hour is good, but not as impressive as it used to be really professional hitters can catch up with that So it's all about setting the fastball up with good off-speed stuff to make it look more effective And that's exactly what he did right there And here's the former prize Dodger prospect Willie Calhoun He'll enter play here with that average down in the low 200s two home runs and six RBI's Now he looked like a caveman swing in a club on that one. It's oh and two now Really tied him up on that one. Yikes. He kind of looked clueless on that swing right there And we'll have to leave it there as this is strike three and that will retire the side Rangers set down in order still no score Point and he's been one of the league's big stories in April having come out of the gates Extremely hot at the plate. What a terrific season. This guy's having up near the leaders in batting average Without a doubt the highest average and the best hitter on this team And he'll take strike one on the fastball registering at 93 that time Favorable call in there for a strike looking at his lifetime numbers boy It carries a hitting line just over the 280 plateau O2 is a fastball that misses inside one and two now As a veteran out on the mound, that's a pitch that you expect to get a call on Got to believe he keeps pounding that spot until he builds a rapport with the umpire Into center field line drive base hit Nice piece of hitting right there. He obviously recognized cutter away stayed inside. It was able to drive it the other way And that'll bring up Gleber Torres as he looks at a fastball that's in there for strike one He's ready for his first at bat of his early season contest 01 pitch Fastball called for strike two. I get it. He wants to see this guy's repertoire But now he's behind in the count puts himself in a tough spot to hit oh and to count. Here's the pitch In the dirt here. Good job. There is the count goes to one and two Voight gets his lead at first. Nobody out And he takes strike three called on the fastball one guy my man on the mound It's just got great strikeout stuff working for him these days looking back at his last start He racked up nine K's and now he's looking like he could put up similar numbers in this one And digging into the batter's box next will be Giancarlo Stanton. No balls in a strike to count No score here as we play any number two Fooled with the curveball there and it's strike two Great pitch in that situation. He makes contact on that one more than likely. He's hitting into a double play Oh, and this is swung on and missed four strikeouts already and that's out number two That's back-to-back strikeouts now as they've been unable to advance that leadoff single in the scoring position Yeah, clearly no problems working out of the stretch right now that he's taking control this inning after giving up that hit Now we'll see if he can finish it off strong as well And that sends DJ LeMahieu into the box as he'll look at a fastball in there on the outer half It's 0-1 in his career versus this pitcher. He's got one hit in 17 at bats. He's also gone down on strikes five times Here's the 0-1 And he misses with it one and one LeMahieu an imposing right-handed figure at six foot four inches tall This contract is set to expire at the end of this season So he may end up hitting the market this winter some guys only get the free agency one time in their career This guy has a chance to get there for a second time and in the prime of his career Is he able to handle the pressure as he plays out this final season? He comes back with a fastball strike three called and the inning is over Yanks leave one. We'll go to the bottom of the second. No score Next to bad will be the Texas cleanup putter Joey Gallo. He'll start us out here in the home half of the second In field in the over shift here now the pitch Pitch taken several inches below the zone in fact fastball in there for a strike one-on-one Your eyes light up from the offensive side playing in a hitters park like this have to get the ball up to do some damage I'm not mad at that tape now a ball lying toward the gap in left center But this will be pulled in out there in left center. Well hit but a rough out number one Digging in the switch hitter Danny Santana you drove in two of his clubs three runs in last night's affair First pitch of the at bat on its way Strike taken up in the zone That fastball was a lively one. You could hear the pop of the glove all the way up here. Hey, I've been I'm a little biased There's nothing better than that pop of a glove on a good fastball Looking forward to hearing a lot more of that pitch On a good fastball looking forward to hearing a lot more of that pop the rest of this one Changes up on him if that's in the dirt for a ball Swing and a miss as he pulled the string on him one and two Offered at that breaking ball below the zone and that's a tough one to spit on but the key is Recognizing it coming out of the pitchers hand earlier making sure that it goes up before it comes down more likely to be a hanger when that's the case One two is an off-speed pitch. No dice. It's two and two Swinging and a miss at the curveball and there's your second out of the inning Hate to be captain obvious here, but he looks great to begin this start That's already three K's for him and the first five hitters. It'd be awesome to see him keep up this pace So bases are empty here with two gone and that'll bring up the left-handed hitting Ronald Guzman First pitch on its way Ball one Montgomery has become known as a guy that's tough to take deep so many starting pitchers find themselves Snake bitten by the gopher ball, but he really limits that Sliced hard on the ground reigned in throw on devoid takes care of him and the inning is over One two three go the Rangers will move to the third with no score those striding forward now Miguel Andujar and he's looking to turn the page the batsman ice-cold over the last eight or so ball games Ready to deliver. Here's the first pitch Hey struggling to find the release point of that curveball. That wasn't a very good one Somehow I just got to find that field because that's a pitch he's going to need going forward now the two one And it's fouled away. He did well to get a piece that time and it'll stay two and two Here's the pitch and there's a fastball well off the plate inside You could pretty much book it that a fastball's coming a challenge fastball right here He cannot allow the nine hole hitter to get on base with the top of the order room Count remains full other full count pitch home And he can only battle for so long as he's finally set down here after an eight pitch at bat Boy, he's really on a roll on the hill right now as we roll through it again Remember he struck out the side in the last inning and now he picks up right where he left off by striking off the leadoff man here Let's see if he can keep this going for a little bit Ready for another chance Mike Tuckman over one here in the early going Ready with the first pitch here it comes Fastball taken but that gets the zone for a strike Shocked it and let it fly right there. Usually you're looking for a fastball elevated to get the party started The wind up and the 0-1 That's not an easy pitch to do anything with right 96 miles an hour in on the hands you almost have to be looking for that pitch to be able to do anything with that On that fastball is too much for him there one and two Wow, that's four straight Cades. He's knocking them down. He's looking for number five right here You can tell this guy on the mound. He is pitching with a whole lot of confidence in this one Fouled away skied in the air to straight away left Gallo will drift over to his right a few steps as he takes it for the second out now that Digging in for his second at bat Geo or Shella fly down in his first half bat. So make him 0 for 1 so far Now the pitch When won the count To out lightning definitely applies to this offense if this two-hole hitter can get on they could start something serious Bases are empty here with two men out. Oh, it's a ball in a strike No offer on that one two balls in a strike In her third let go. It's a called strike Takes this the other way to right. That's his first base hit make him one for two now Dan as a former pitcher, are you privy to this guy? I mean, he's been swinging it that well I know it's only April, but he's been using the entire field stand line the line That's what makes it so hard as a pitcher when you can't go one way when you pitch a guy in he pulls it When you throw it away, he hits it the other way He's having that ability right now just to be able to get the barrel to it And he's having a real strong beginning this season and that'll bring up Aaron judge one ball No strikes to count Third inning no score to this point In for a strike. It's one and one aside two and one from the belt kicks and deals Now a ball fouled down the right field line out of play so that'll move the count to two and two now Popped him up Trevino has a play And that ends the inning one left for the Yankees home half of the third coming up. No score Here's Todd Frazier now seven eight and nine to start the home third Not much going on offensively so far for these guys six up six down We'll see if the bottom part of the lineup can get something going well The home crowd seems a little restless, so I'm sure they'd appreciate it. Here's the first pitch to him Passball just inside Filed off off again, and now he's in a one and two hole now. Here's the pitch He was looking for a swing and a miss breaker right there But left that one in a zone that got fouled off and this has hit hard to the right side But foul and he can't get out of the way there So the leadoff man will be a bore to open up the inning Yeah, there are a couple of things you don't want to do as a visiting pitcher Never give the home crowd a reason to get involved early and don't put guys on base to ignite a big inning Well, this should accomplished on both fronts. We'll see how he responds Here's Rognito door now. He went deep in the contest last night You're still searching for hit number one in the ballgame, and he fouls this one off You can definitely tell with that foul off right there that he's picking up spin on this pitchers off speed stuff Maybe expect a fastball on this next one, and he misses two and one kicks and deals Look like he was cheating a heater right there a little bit too far out in front Gotta find a way to keep his hands back The two-two one more time This would be an absolute terrible start to the end after drilling the first guy You can't allow the second guy to reach base via the wall yanked high and deep down the line in right And it's a foul ball Eighth pitch of the at bat coming up. There's ball four Coming to the plate now Jose Trevino and he could give his guys an early lead if he can come through here set and the pitch Starts him out with a curve ball for a strike This is one of those classic bunk situations here But it's not a given anymore like it used to be and that's the case even more so in the American League You'll one pitch with two guys already on pretty good shot. He's gonna get a challenge pitch right here None out runners at first and second into the corner and slicing foul here now the two-two and this one's in the dirt The runners will hold tight, but it's a full count now three and two it's fouled away Good battle here. This will be the seventh pitch coming up Now a swing and a miss as he picks up another one make it four strikeouts already and there's your first out Here's Elvis Andrus now no fastball here is you'll take a look at ball one one and all It was a flyout for him to start the home first Two and oh now What a great opportunity to come through right here to O count runners on base Find something middle of the plate and let it rip here. It comes now to Andrus down low and the clock thickens here three and oh Well, nothing can make you question yourself on a mile more than three straight balls to the guy You know that you should go right after sometimes you just lose the strikes. I don't need you don't know why Here's the three oh And a change up couldn't get him to bite in its ball for three of those pitches were definitely out of the zone But that last pitch looking pretty darn good to me You're not usually gonna get many favorable calls on three and although you have to earn that spot Digging in Hunter Cole looking to put the ball in play here He went down on strikes in his first at bat and he can't allow the same thing to happen in this situation This is a big time spot in this game. He's got to find a way to put the ball in play And here's a ball hit in the air heading after this judge and no one will track it down ready with the oh one Fouled away Bottom of any number three nothing nothing our score Another one sent foul for O2 And a good two-strikes swing here as he's been fighting off some tough pitches, but the count will remain at 0 and 2 Hey haven't a be right here. I know it's frustrating the heck out of the pitcher You keep fouling these pitches off. Maybe one misses over the heart of the plate Great pitch there as he couldn't get extended on that one and he's down on strikes for the second out It's not that easy to make a good hit or look at that But that's what happens when you could bring that fastball and write it in on the inner half of the plate right there You can get some pretty ugly swings Willie Calhoun And she'll take a tough pitch on the outside part of the plate for strike one in a golden opportunity Here to give his guys the lead with three men aboard He sent the oh one This is quickly moving from bad to worse. It's oh and two now Hey, this is a huge pitch right here. It would be demoralizing to watch this inning slip away the oh two Well outside with the curveball for a ball His pitch count is really spiked here in this inning. He's up to over 50 already on the stretch the one two Filed off is there He's got it and that'll get him out of the jam a couple of walks But no damage don't go anywhere more Tuesday night baseball after this Winning sent to get underway Striding forward now the Yankee cleanup hitter Gary Sanchez He was a strikeout victim in his first try yeah, and he didn't put up much of a fight either Maddie Got to find a way can't go down three pitches I don't care if you're staring at him or swinging them You have to find a way to make this picture work a little bit harder And that's a base hit one for two in his first couple of played appearances Boy Dero the game of baseball has changed there's so much velocity in the game That was a 96 mile an hour fastball that he smoked the other way Yeah, you have to keep your front shoulder top right there You have to honor when a guy's throwing that hard 96 miles an hour You have to honor that fastball and try and work at the other way to keep you on the off speed Swing and misses he was way in front of that one. Oh one pitch on its way Can't find the zone there as he lays off the breaking ball. Well, if you love pitching and defense This has been a game for you. Are you happy with that Dan? I think this continues for a while Matt both of these pitchers are throwing very well throwing strikes Having good command of their off-speed pitches. This is good now void with a high fly ball out to deep left field Meanwhile here, this is gonna be trouble out there in left center as it ought to be good for extra bases And they've really got something going here runners at second and third to start the inning Yeah, they've been stymied so far in this one But they've strung together a couple hits and are poised to finally break through a base hit to the outfield And we've got the makings of something special working here Standing in now Torez Swing and hit up hop to the right side of the infield Guzman is under it and he's got it for the first down So we saw the fastball there as he got to pop out and that'll segue right into our pitch speed Comparison for these two starters and whoa look at that for a top speed 98 miles an hour that man is flat dealing Giancarlo Stanton now he's over one thus far and it looks as though the decision makers in the dugout We'll give him a free pass to first so the bases are loaded here on the intentional walk and the force play is now in order That's what's called getting the treatment. Everyone knows he's a power threat with the bat So it's all about not letting him be the guy that beats you first pitch of the ad-bat DJ LeMayhew is in for his second plate appearance as he looks at a ball. It's one and oh Pitching has the upper hand early as we're scoreless in inning number four Small for a called strike. It's one and one facing right-handed pitching so far this season LeMayhew Sitting exactly 200 not really what you'd call a point of pride for him. Yeah, Maddie He's well aware of it runners in scoring position. That's where you need to be on your game He's just expanded the zone entirely too much in these situations a two-one home makes the catch well done That had soft base hit written all over it But a nice snag there by the infielder on that soft liner that could have been a potential base hit So two are gone now in the Yankee half of the fourth and striding into the plate It'll be Miguel and do hard the deliver. Here's the first pitch 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 in the count Maybe trying to back him up a bit there with the fastball Two balls and a strike Well, we all know he's not the greatest threat with the bad up there His numbers certainly aren't that pretty but hey, I give him credit. He's really working to count right here In there two and two Definitely a big pitch coming up right here He's going to be pumped if he could work his way out of this sitting with the game still time No runs for hits and no errors for the Yankees so far three balls and two strikes to the Yankees DH 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 Neither guy willing to give in and the at-bat will continue pay off pitch and he fouls this one off Keeps fighting him off the eighth pitch of the at-bat coming up Ball hit in the air and this looks like it'll get him out of it And he'll get there in plenty of time to put this one away and that ends the inning Yankees leave him loaded onto the bottom of the fourth now still with no score That brings up the big bat of Joey Gallo 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 one ball No strikes to count if he broke the plane of the plate there. He most certainly did It's a ball and a strike who jumped the gun a bit on that swing and he's down one and two Counts even two and two to Joey Gallo good patience to hold back on the curve ball in the dirt. It's full now three and two It's a fine line for working down in the zone on two and two and bouncing one in there that basically stands No chance of getting swung it right there He basically spiked that one right into the dirt and now he has to find the zone on a three-two pitch Love by LeMay here throws in time and that's out number one And Stepping up to the plate Danny Santana. He looked to bounce back after striking out his last time up First offering on its way and the Rangers are in the hit column Man, I watched Chipper Jones for years one of the best switch hitters of all time work on his craft under the tunnel It's not easy to put the time in but bottom line is one of the reasons why they do it is the ability to work The whole field clearly he's been putting in that work and it paid off right there into the box now Ronald Guzman Yes, he will look at a first pitch fastball for ball one oh for one for him here in this one on the stretch Fly ball out toward left center field And that's in there base hit guys really start the swing to speak again D-roll that extends his hitting streak to nine games Yeah, he's leaking in the three series right here now nine games That's getting firm. He's seeing the ball well, and he's making a proper adjustments at the plate the first pitch to him Trying to entice him with a high fastball, but he wouldn't commit it's ball one Hey, you think the game plan is to pitch this guy inside They've plugged them in the first at that and they're clearly coming right back in again The one oh want to fall behind as a pitcher, but doing it to a guy like this is even worse He's got to bear down and execute for the rest of this at bat starting right now now the two all Two and one to count in front three balls in a strike Team's been struggling on offense. Let your D work for you right here pound his own Runners are at first and second with one away. Okay, there's the good fastball, and he can't catch up three and two What I love right there is just the freedom in that hack He ain't trying to do anything but hit the baseball as far as he can Here's the three two and he lost him here on three two is that pitch misses its ball for 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 base Now he's really got his work out for him. We'll see how he fares here into the plate now Ruebner-Odor drew a base on balls his first time up set here. It comes and It's fouled away one pitch And that misses one and one Action out the Yankee bullpen now as a right-hander starts to loosen up not likely to see a fourth fastball in this situation I'm gonna eliminate the fastball if I'm at the plate right here the one two Lifted the other way down to that field line and that will end up a foul ball Open to send him packing pitch on its way And he just misses inside with the fastball there wins the battle as this is swung on and missed for the second 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 two-strike approach either Plate now pose a Trevino He'll take a look at ball one looking to put the ball in play here. He went down on strikes in his first half back Two balls and no strats ready with the 2-0 Bones two hits and no errors in the contest for the Rangers so far and this one is over and he works the count back to two and two Well, I love the way he's competing out there on the mound right now He's got a chance to rack back to back case with two runners in scoring position. He's not giving in at all the 2-2 and He struck him out his seventh of the ballgame and that ends the inning Back-to-back strikeouts keep him out of danger back with more here on a Tuesday night after this Welcome back Heidi Watney standing by as we get set for the top of the fifth 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 despite the fact that they've yet to push a run across the game is still tied and the pitch Count for their opposition is really getting up there They think that making him work as hard as he has is going to pay off later in the game and that they just need to stick to the process All right, Heidi. Thank you Now back to the top of the lineup stepping in Mike Topman He'll start off the fifth in this one this game is rolling right along as we move into the middle innings With no score you'd think by now one of these two teams would be able to get some Base runners on to get him in but that hasn't been the case ball one to start the ad bath on our home Misses for the second ball It's a lot easier to hit when you're putting yourself in good hitters counts This guy's done a great job not swinging at pitchers pitches and when he's getting the ball in his own He's getting the barrel to it. He's been hot lately and he founds this one off popped him up Trevino over to his left one down Digging in and looking for more geo or shella. He's singled in two trips to the plate thus far first delivery to him on the way That finds the zone a called strike You rarely see a pitcher of this quality throw one right down the middle and man as a hitter probably a good chance You're not going to see that pitch again one out nobody on Drilled right back up the middle and in the center field as he's aboard with a one-out single So make it two hits more and now on the night as this one finds its way into center and as that graphic shows us He currently leads the Yankees in that category Here's big Aaron judge This will take a look at a pitch too low. It's ball one in his last at bat He popped out in foul ground a little jumpy there as he swings through the fastball the two one Now a drive by judge deep left fielder And they take the lead it's gone Rise Aaron judge a two-run shot Sixth home run on the season for him and this is now a two-to-nothing lead for the Yankees There are certain guys in every lineup that you do not want to beat you and this guy right now is swinging the bat so well I'm not giving him a chance to do anything. He's too hot right now And after that home run it looks like they might be able to end this losing streak that they've been mired in Yeah, and the win at this level feels really good, especially when it's been a while They're on their way if they can play well the rest of the game ready with the nothing in one pitch Strike two on the curveball oh and two After two great pitches. He has a lot of options right now. He could bounce something or go elevated fastball Still only one out in the inning Ground ball left side defense set up perfectly and that's the second hour Ready now look void he doubled earlier and carries a two-for-two line into this appearance Ready with the first pitch here it comes Smoked on the ground up the middle a door has it Throw on to Guzman at first and the inning is over Yankees get a couple on the two-run home run Bottom of the fifth coming up. It's now to nothing New York Welcome back to Arlington before we get much further. Let's check in with Heidi Matt I talked with the Rangers manager during the inning break about the team's offensive production to this point and Flat out. He was very pleased with the quality of their at bats They've already worked out three walks So he feels as though that kind of willingness to let the opposition work themselves into trouble will continue to result In good things for them on the scoreboard Okay, thank you, Heidi Ben Heller will come on in relief as he'll make his second appearance of the season so far Rangers batting order turns over and set to go Elvis Andrews He'll start things out in the home half of any number five 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 would be the right place in the right time to get something going the last thing They want to do is to try to come from behind and win this one in the eighth or ninth inning The 1-0 and it's fouled away. The 1-1 home is laid off for ball to 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 that misses ball for now It's a lead-off walk to get the home half of the fifth under way. Well, they haven't been able to scratch or run across yet So maybe this walk will jump start their offense a little bit Digging in now Hunter Cole he comes in 0 for 2 thus far this pitch is popped up void That's the first out of the inning So digging in now Willie Calhoun, he flew out in his last at bat almost Maddie almost went deep his last a B Certainly just missed it with this guy's big power He's feeling pretty good at the dish look for him to try and get on something and drive it out of the yard this a big And they pitch out here, but nothing's going on Runner at first here one man out looked like a slider perhaps, but it missed badly and it's to an own That could be one of the downfalls of pitching out It puts you behind in the count and if you throw another ball, you're kind of in a difficult spot was the 2-0 pitch hopped high in the air Urshela has a play to down So a runner at first with two away and up to bat next the left-handed light tower power of Joey Gallo from the stretch Fouled away Two out with the man at first behind 0 and 2 now nothing in two count and the pitch And he misses there one and two to two balls and two strikes now Back to back sliders in on the hands He didn't handle it real well at all on the previous pitch So why not come right back with it again better job of laying off that one though full count now three and two Well, this has been a good at that He's now worked to count fold of three and two it allows the runner on first to be on the move with two away Working for the punch out and the offering hit hard to short And the off-balance throw gets him as he takes away a hit and the side is retired one left for Texas They're still down. It's 2-0 all set for the start of the inning stepping in torres. He's over to in the ballgame so far First pitch on its way Off his leg on the mound Throw to first, but he's safe and now the stadium's attention turns back to the man on the mound and Time now to see quite where that got him and it appeared from up here at least and his actions on the field Confirm it it looked like it got him on his drive leg which could be problematic, of course for him But from the way he's trying to walk it off. I think he's gonna try to continue Now here comes the Rangers skipper out of the dugout on his way to the mound and he'll motion for the bullpen That's gonna be all for Lance Lynn They'll wind up lasting just five innings here didn't pitch all that poorly yet. He's gone nonetheless Jesse Chavez takes the ball here as he'll enter with the runner at first and nobody out The plate Giancarlo Stanton Yes, he'll take a look at a slider here that misses for ball one He was given a free pass via the intentional walk last time the 1-0 Is a slider taken for a ball Hey after those two breaking balls miss you have to be sitting on a fastball right here Here he comes on 2-0 too tight with that one three and oh Wow, this is the kind of count you'd like to get your superstar hitters in right three, you know You can bet he has the green light on this pitch from the belt the pitch First with no outs here and he misses ball four So he comes out of the bullpen and immediately walks the first man he faces always tough to issue a free pass But especially troublesome when you give up a single right before that this start the inning We'll see if he can figure out a way to wiggle out of this First and second now nobody out and that'll bring up DJ. Lemahue. It goes Torres off of first Strike one to start the at-back one pitch on its way There's strike two as it catches the outside corner Well, the Yankees have been searching for that big hit pretty much all game It remains to see if they could get it, but now it sure would be a good time the 1-2 Looked at for ball number two 2-2 This is on the ground over to first Andress to first in Guzman to complete the double play Oh, that's a rally killer right there They were in great shape with two on and nobody out But the double play as the last thing you want in that situation just a runner at third now But there's two outs Here's Miguel and a hard now 0 for 2 on his line this far first pitch of the at-back on its way Edge of the zone that time taken and ruled a strike Here's a moment where you got to be a great teammate pick your buddy up who just grounded into a double play I don't care what it looks like single gap or Homer Just get that guy in from third and get your team back Motivated one and one the count now a little too far in Bowl two Good time to be a nine hole hitter right now more than likely going to get a good pitch to hit The top of the order is looming on deck good spot to be a good hitter right now Two balls and a strike here it is three and one now 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 high and deep down the left field line And this will not be caught. It's a foul ball I drive snagged on a short hop throw to first to get him easily in the side is retired Yanks leave one, but they hold a two-nothing lead Striding in Danny Santana. He was a strikeout victim his first trip and then collected a base hit his last time around Here it comes Hey, you want someone sometimes to rattle the bat rack, but also the guy on the mound's got to eat to they're executing their pitches out There it's gonna be tough to score some runs Didn't stay on top of the slider that time as it misses high Right-hander starts to loosen out from the bullpen now It's gonna be back to some serious T work if he can't put that pitch in play right in his wheelhouse Swanging to miss as he couldn't connect on the two seamer and that's at number one Hey, I'm not sure what he was sitting on right there might have been sitting on a boss beat pitch But instead he gets the fastball way late had no chance to put that ball in play Now to the plate Ronald Guzman As he'll take one up in the zone, but indeed in the strike zone for the first strike He's one for two in this one into the windup. Here comes the oh and one No Bases are empty one-man a ballman two strikes one and two and to the right side Judge back in plenty of time to put this away. However, and there are two gone Boy, sometimes they say you hit it hard good things will happen. Well, that's not the case right there That was a bullet that just stayed up and it's caught in the outfield Striding into the box Todd Frazier. It was a walk in his last trip. He's ready. Here's the first offering What oh hey a two-out walk right here would be the tying run to the plate Even though it's early on you got a guy on deck that has a lot of pop The windup man the 1-0 pitch To out nobody on Fly ball out to straight away right Judge is on his horse. He can't get there. So the inning will continue and he'll make it the second base now with two gone Finally a little something for them to get excited about yeah A rally can begin with the single swing of the bat and this might be their chance right here They've struggled to produce a lot of runs, but there he is at second base a shot to the outfield scores A bit who knows what kind of role they could get on gotta take it one good at bat at a time So here's the left-handed bat of Ruebner the door now a door turns on one and sends it to deep right and Outta here, and I mean by plenty that ball was Ruebner the door connects for a two-run homerun Forth homerun here in the early going as the Rangers are back in business. They tie it at two That's the price you pay right there when you try and sneak a fastball pass this guy power hitter and every power hitter in The league knows you got to start with the numero uno number one man You've got to get on the heater and adjust to everything else, and he did just that Jose Trevino As he will take strike one on the fastball here no balls and a strike no hits to this point and for a ball one and one I'm seeing all the signs of fatigue right now. This is when you really have to bear down mentally as a pitcher Bases are empty here with two men out Hit in the air down the right field line This is gonna wind up a foul ball the one two And he popped him up back into foul territory behind first, but this will land untouched now another one two To two balls and two strikes now That fastball really got away from them there That's kind of a red flag for me that he's starting to tire or wear down a little bit The first thing that goes is location and then your mechanics. We'll see if this continues Good eye to lay off the slider there, and he works it to full three and two here What we're seeing here is a really smart at that They got to be thinking the man on the mound is getting a little short on gas So when you go up there and make him throw a bunch of pitches You're more likely to get a good pitch to hit or at least force him out of the game. He's right there Throw on to vote takes care of him and the ending is over some more of the Colorful characters here at the ballpark tonight don't go anywhere more Tuesday night baseball after this So the lineup flips over and digging in Mike Tuckman in his last at bat he popped out and fouled round Yeah, Matt. He's got to make an adjustment right here His swing definitely broke down dropped his back shoulder and thus the result was a terrible pop-up foul Here comes the first pitch Popped him up andress will take this one in with two hands for the first down Every pitcher loves to get quick outs, right? How about that one pitch one out a pop-up to start the inning But the plate Geo or Shella is two for three thus far Delivery to him on the way no offer at that one. It's a cold strike. Have a changing speed there It's oh and two fastball just misses that's ball one Stolen cold take right there that fastball Very well could have sent him packing back to the bench And this is gonna find the crowd down the left field line count holds at one and two one out nobody on Sky down the left field line and that will end up a foul ball the one two Line to the right side But that's a foul ball and a swing in the miss here So it's a quick two outs to start the seventh any time a pitcher locates a fastball on the inside corner It's going to be a top pitch to hit that one was spot-on and he had no answer for it to the plate now Aaron judge As he'll try to hold back on the swing, but he went around for the first strike a hidden two-at-bats for him at this point in the ballgame into the wind-up here comes the oh and one and One and one as this one's in on the hands Line drive to left that's him for a base hit and he's two for three Boy, there's a long drive bullet off the wall right there The outfielder does a really good job here Oh of getting that one quickly and getting it back in to keep him at first for a long single Yeah, and also a nice job by the base runner not there now putting his head down being over aggressive and getting thrown out at Second base he saw the play happening in front of them and put the brakes on and got back for a base hit Yeah, D-roll. I think he would have been toast if he tried to stretch that one into a double kicks and deals line towards center field And he dives to make a spectacular catch What a play there to end the inning Worth a second look here as this is a beauty to end the inning back with more here on a Tuesday night after this Chat Green gets the call from the pen to take over on the mound and start the home seventh Last half of the seventh here now with the plate Elvis Andrews it was a walk in his last trip Pitch on the way Green a right-hander standing six-foot three. He was selected in the 11th round back in the draft of 2013 I know this guy wouldn't go into the category of superstar But to grind out the career he has being drafted where he was my hats off to him one. Oh count here It is Weak grounder down the line at third But a foul ball one and one Ball in two strikes to the ranger shortstop the one two high and deep down the left field line And this will wind up a foul ball. This pitch is popped up Urshela is there for it One away To play hunter Cole in his last at bat he popped out in foul ground Yeah maddie and I think that pop out was just a result of poor pitch selection Got a seat of pitch over the harder to play He chased well out of his own and as a result didn't really put a good swing on that one ball no strikes to count Faces are empty one man out out of play off to the right. It's one and one Slider that doesn't quite catch the zone. It's two and one now Big sweeping breaking ball right there a good pitch But if he wants to get him to swing at it He'll have to bring it in a little bit closer to the strike zone When you're playing close games like this base runners mean everything so he can ill afford to start giving away free passes Sent in the air out to straight away central Tuckman is there now and he has it two gone The designated hitter number five Willie Calhoun Grading forward now is the dh willy calhoun no hits in three tries so far. He's struck out once Ready with the first pitch here it comes Wow, I can't believe the hitter took that one the pitcher absolutely got away with a hanger Set to deliver the oh and one Still no balls and two strikes couldn't get him to chase the o2 fastball. It's one and two Two out nobody on Swing and a miss blew the fastball right by him and the inning is over Rangers set down in order score remains two to two Louis Garcia has been summoned from the bullpen as he'll do so to start the eighth Next for new york loop point. He's two for three and looking for more here He did deliver. Here's the first pitch Hey, if you're gonna throw a pitch like that to this guy, that's right where you want to miss Any lower and he'll probably make you pay for it and he founds this one off Garcia the former angel he became a member of this team after signing as a free agent earlier this season Yeah, he didn't have an opportunity to really get acclimated to this ball club showing up during the season Is not always easy opening the doors to a big league clubhouse and trying to get to know your teammates The best way to get to know him is to go out and produce the one two This is on the ground over the first he's got it And he'll flip it to the pitcher covering for the out Digging in now for the Yankees Torres he's got a hit in three at bats to this point. Here comes the first pitch And a fast ball close but ultimately ruled a ball one and oh Good swing just got to try and straighten that one out One out nobody on no offer on that one two balls in a strike hit to first scooped up And he'll step on first for the out three unassisted Good pitch right there to run the two seamer in on his hands and bunch him up and an easy ground ball as the result Settling in now. Giancarlo Stanton comes into this at bat 0 for 1 in the ballgame First offering on its way Lifted down the line in left and this is going to get down. It's a foul ball And this misses the outside corner. So it's knotted up at one and one Faces are empty here with two men out had him off stride that time and it's one and two Oh wait, that was an ugly swing. I'm sure he's not going to watch that one on replay after the game A swing and a miss on a ball way outside the strike zone and the inning is over One two three go the bombers The score remains deadlocked at two two Jack britain is on to pitch out of the bullpen in the bottom half of the eight Bottom of ending number eight set to go ready once again, joey gallo he was hitless in three at bats to this point Joey Come set. Here's the nothing and nothing pitch And here's a slider that's nowhere close and it's one and oh Good spot to be in right now as a hitter count your favor one and oh good time to get a fastball and turn it loose Two and oh the count to the rangers left fielder Well, this is the matchup they wanted bringing in the reliever But falling behind two and oh doesn't exactly help the situation very much Danny Santana will be next freeing one Stealing that strike on 3-0 was important But you don't want to miss over the heart of the plate in this situation I gotta believe he's going to be way more aggressive right here the 3-1 Hit hard, but right into the shift And that will get through into right. So there's your possible go ahead run on base to lead off the inning Danny Santana And it's fouled away. He's working on a one for three thus far. He with the nothing in one pitch Swing and a miss and he's in trouble now Oh and two action in the bullpen now as a right-hander begins to throw out there And he goes down on strikes for the third time Well, it's been a rough series for him at the plate so far. That's four strikeouts in the first two games So this pitching staff clearly has him figured out Good Ronald Guzman This will take a look at a slider here that finds the zone for strike one Swinging strike and now it's 0-2 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 Open to send him packing pitch on its way fouled away Possible go ahead runs on first one away comes another 0-2 Half-hearted attempt that time, but they'll say he broke the plane and that's out number two That was a big strikeout there guys The best pitchers have the ability to strike guys out when they really need to and that second out was really important at this point Of the game could be something we look back on later when the game's over First pitch on its way And this ball is going to find the seats down the left field line foul strike one Two out with the possible go ahead run at first. You're going to miss on the slider and he's quickly behind nothing in two Not much you're going to do with that pitch right there You have to catch an out front before it even breaks and even if you do that It's a tough pitch to keep fair when two here it is on the stretch the one two In tight with the slider two and two After multiple pitches will fall off it gets a little disappointing as a pitch So you think say i'm going to throw one way off the plate and see if he'll chase it didn't happen He set the two two Back up the middle and that's through for another base hit. They'll make it two for two in this one I'm talking about making a pitcher work d-row eight pitch at bat finally leads off to a base hit I got to be honest with you after the seventh pitch you start to get in auto swing mode He could have thrown the rosin bag and he would have took a hack at it So hats off to him not only battling for eight pitches But getting a result at the plate rugnet odor as the first pitch to him is off the plate for a ball one or no One and oh here it is Swung on and missed on the pitch at the thumbs of all in a strike I think it's about time to choke up on that bat and get that foot down. He's awfully tardy right now One one pitch is a slider that's cut on and missed for strike two One and two here it is Come on Two men around with two men out I fly ball out to straight away center long run for the center fielder And he brings it down to end the inning as the go-ahead run is left stranded Rangers leave a pair and this game is still tied at two and two Nick Solak has come into the ballgame now as he takes over is the new third baseman Now playing perfect Number 15 Sat to start the ninth in this one stepping into the box dj lemay here He was a double play victim last time around He doesn't have to worry about that in his situation matty. No one on base right now Try and get something up so you can drive the baseball center fielder giving chase He gets there to make the play for the first out of the inning Stepping in miguel anduhar. He got on top of one. It was a ground out victim last time stretch. Here's the pitch He's got that certainly timed up now I'd be shocked if the pitcher goes to the well three times in a row with off speed Now the one and one pitch is swung on and missed and that's strike two He's gone to the well with that pitch three times in a row I'm interested to see if he changes it up right here Now a fastball as he has to lean out of the way there the two two pitch Is taken but called strike three as he might have gotten a little extra off the plate that time Well that call looked like it was a little in the pitcher's favor, but it wasn't the 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 Standing in now mike talkman as the first pitch misses to him It's ball one struggling so far in this one and looking to erase his 0 for 4 ball game right here Moat toward third fielded cleanly Throw on to guzman at first and the inning is over So the yanks go one two three Score remains two to two Luis sessa comes on to work on the mound hoping to send this one into extra innings But the plate posei travino he goes retired via the ground ball last time up First pitch of the at bat on its way I couldn't quite hold back that time as the changeup fooled him for strike one The bullpen as their closers starts to get loose out there The one one home air out to center field long run for the center fielder He gets to it and makes the catch for the first out So Elvis Andrus the next to bat 0 for two for him to this point first pitch of the at bat In his career Andrus hits a little over the 270 mark well out in front of the breaking ball there for a strike Breaking ball drops right in the chute for a strike Wow, not sure what you're looking for right there, but that one was pretty much middle middle center cut tough pitch to take Two and two to count comes now to andrew full count now three and two Hunter Cole will be next three and two picks Freezes him a strikeout looking Hunter Cole it was a flyout for him in his last trip liver Here's the first pitch two out nobody on behind o and two now Well above the letters with the fastball that time He wasn't even close to swinging right there. That was a stone cold take one two pitch Struck him out struck him out again. I should say his third punch out of the game One two three go to rangers Score remains deadlocked at two two Cody Allen takes the mound as he'll be the first man to pitch here in extra innings You're into extra innings into the box giorg. Shella he struck out swinging in his last trip to the plate First pitch on its way third baseline But a foul ball and it's two and one now fastball just missed above the zone Aaron judge is on deck The three one and possibly an interesting development here It's a leadoff walk to begin the frame in extra innings Man when the game is tied the last thing you could afford to do is walk the leadoff hitter Got to focus on getting that ground ball now Aaron judge go ahead run at first nobody out. Here's the first pitch They strike one on the fastball registering at 93 that time He'll be fine coming out of the bullpen in this one if he can keep the ball around the knees like that Go ahead runs the board here at first with nobody out Being inside with that one a pretty easy take there Now the rangers get a reliever up and throwing in the bullpen as a right-handers begun to warm up out there the one and one pick Boy not exactly what you'd like as a pitcher one of the keys is to minimize your pitches attack the strike zone early A lot of deep counts and working himself into a lot of trouble below the zone a swing and a miss That's exactly the pitch you don't want to be chasing in these situations He's going to keep that ball down below the hollow of the knee Try and get you to ground into a double play. You have to set your sights at least belt high Here's the two two pitch fastball swung on and missed for the first down Got him with a good high fastball there Danny we see a lot of that pitch in strikeout situations these days. What makes it so effective I think mattwood makes it such a tough pitch as you're changing eye levels that fastball up Looks so enticing to hit that you think you see that ball as a hitter Do you think you can drive it? But it's really hard to get on top of that good high hard fastball into the box now Gary Sanchez No balls on the strike to count ahead runs on first one away Oh two balls in a strike and a check swing here as he couldn't help himself and it's ruled strike two Ball swung on and missed as they set him down for the second time here tonight Well, we'll see a lot of these power arms coming out of the bullpen in these days But it doesn't make it any less impressive to me. I love watching guys come in and blow smoke right by guys Look boy as he'll swing and hit this one hard But foul off to the left and out of play there are two gone and the possible go ahead run at first Ready with the oh and one Too much dip on the sinker laid off for a ball two balls in a strike to the Yankees first baseman Two out with the possible go ahead run at first and he misses again ball three Torres would be next fouled away Good spot for an rbi put the ball in play with the runner in motion He could score all the way from first and he misses with it ball four So the potential go ahead run moves into scoring position now Oh man, I think this walk is going to grind him for a bit He just missed and now the inning continues with the man in scoring position Stepping into the box torres. He was a ground out victim last time up. Here's the first pitch All they're taken for a strike Boy, this is one of those ab's you like to hit the rewind button on put himself in a tough spot now hitting with two strikes ready on o2 These are the situations right here that make me miss wearing a uniform The big spot the cat and mouse of what's he gonna throw on down one two Can I battle back the pitchers trying to put me away? This is what the game's all about A ball in two strikes And he strikes him out here for route number three. So after a scoreless top half They'll have a chance to win it here in the bottom half So they let him off the hook here by scoring no runs despite the two walks So one will win it here as we go to the bottom of any number 10 First delivery to him on the way In there strike one Hey a changeup can be a pretty good pitch on the first pitch kind of slow down a good fastball hitter Breaking ball below the zone. That's ball one Hey, there's not a lot you could do with a slider breaking down and in unless you catch it way out front I like the idea of taking it and making the pitcher bring you something a little more hittable That to deal on a ball in two strikes fouled away the one two Misses ball two Tough to take a pitch like that right there, especially in a one two count You're almost getting that auto swing mode great job to work to count back to even Three and two to the rangers designated hitter These are the kind of a bees regardless of the outcome You go back to the dugout as an offensive player and your teammates are loving on you for making that pitch of work And battling it out fouled off another foul ball Pots this one up stanton coming on Won't get to it and this should put a man in scoring position to start the inning Not in time and he's in there with a double Man, that's we look like self-defense than a real quality swing, but hey He muscled it out there. It was enough to get him safely the second Those are the kind of hits that will drive you nuts as a pitcher And we'll be called here as with the important go ahead run at second base They'll opt to go and get a little more speed out there Now is spinning a throwback the second and the runner back Here's joey gallo now as the first pitch to him is in there for a called strike one And he's got a chance to bring in the winning run question is whether they'll even pitch to him There's a swing and a high deep drive headed for the right field corner But it bends just fouled into the second deck go to pitch But this how these last two batters have really driven up this pitch count He's had to use 14 pitches already on them and he's not even through this guy yet 14 is near the top end of what you want to throw in a complete inning So it's full now three and two Wow, this is a pretty good at that right here from down in account Oh and two to work the count back to three and two and he's seen a lot of pitches too How the three and two pitch full count still and this is swung on and missed and boy They took care of a key man there one away Really good late bite on that slider right there The best ones have that late action that just darts at the last minute They're so tough to get the bat on and when you've got that good slider going It's a great strikeout pitch now Danny Santana as he'll lay off the slider too low ball one Who comes into this appearance in the midst of a one for four day Two tough sliders right there, but he was able to lay off and might have bought himself a fast ball in this situation Now the two oh This is spot you like to be in as a good hitter runners in scoring position and count leverage in your favor on a missed three and two He was able to sneak that fastball by him on three and one. So so now we've got a battle on our hands three and two pitch Lying toward the alley in left center a dive, but it's off his glove Feet away with just one out Okay, just a nice piece of hitting right there He's able to keep his hands inside that ball stay square as long as possible And feed it into the opposite field for a base hit Adam on a vino is into the ball game now It's a make his fifth appearance of the season here But now to the plate rungle guzman pitch out nothing doing the winning run just 90 feet away here One away Here's a look over to first and the runner will get back standing And the slider's in the dirt in two and one count to the ranger's first baseman Nasty two oh slider right there for a strike. No shame in tipping your hat Count even at two and two Possible winning run just 90 feet away here one away A swing and a high drive to right center field going back is the right fielder ball game So a three run shot to right center field and with one swing of the bat This ball game is over Rainings you're always looking for that one guy to step up and be that hero and this guy was the hero tonight What does he do steps up with a walk-off home run to end this thing in extras?
