 We are under the lights this evening as we get you set for another edition of baseball on the show tonight An intriguing matchup between the New York Yankees and the Tampa Bay Rays It's Ray's baseball and it starts right now Ryan Yarbrough is ready to go as he'll be on the hill for Tampa Bay. What's your take on him, Dan? Hey, we're gonna get a chance to look at a guy that is a little bit up and down throughout points of his career a career Just over four when he's good. He can be really good and when he's bad Well, let's just say he can be pretty bad at times But it'll be interesting to see which one we see he's a little bit of Jekyll and Hyde Hopefully he's gonna be a little bit more Jekyll than Hyde in this one here today He's ready. Here's the first offering Strike take in as that one catches the outer part of the player First pitch seven o'clock into the wind up here comes the oh and one weekly hit to third Throw just does beat him to the bag as that was pretty close So one away here with the base is empty and striding into the plate, it'll be Miguel and Doohar Here's the first pitch to him In there for strike one oh and one Yabbro has made a name for himself as a starter that simply misses the barrel of the bat He rarely allows a large number of hits and he does a pretty good job at keeping the ball in the ballpark when the hitters do make contact The wind up and the oh one Hit on the ground to third scooped up. No the throw pulls the first baseman off the bag and he'll reach it first And this is the kind of play that makes a manager go a little bit nuts It's only the second batter the entire game and his defense is throwing the ball around already I'm sure he's hoping that air isn't a sign of things to come digging in Aaron judge as he'll get his first opportunity in this one. He's sat here. It comes Cut fastball taken for strike one One and one one and one And there are the umpires assigned to this one calling balls and strikes is mr. Mike Fillmore. Hey, you know D-roll Mike Fillmore He'll give a little bit off the edges, but he gets the respect not only from the pitchers But from the players because his zone is consistent. Yeah, as long as he's consistent dad I'm okay with Mike Fillmore zone if a pitcher's pound in that zone. He wants to give a little bit off the outer edge I'm okay with that the two one home Will not catch the zone ball three They know the threat this guy possesses at the plate I know it's 3-1 in this situation right here, but I can't imagine anything comes over the heart of the play And do hard leads off first with one away Swing and a miss much too early and that makes it a full count Hey, this pitcher better be careful right here My man at the plate is not trying to push something to the opposite field not quick enough that time And he's lucky to get another chance count remains full Swing and a miss on the change up and there are two gone One thing to know is not all strikeouts are created equal right there He goes down on strikes, but he really made that guy in the mound work for it And when you're doing that in the first inning it can have an effect on how deep he's going to be able to go into this start There's a big difference between that and going down on three or four pitches So now to the plate Gary Sanchez The first pitch misses to him it's ball one He takes his first cuts in this one with a man at first and two away is in there for strike one One and two now is that one's fouled off from the belt kicks and deals Waved at and missed for the third out not much of a chance at hitting that one in the inning is over Yanks leave one Yankees nothing Tampa Bay coming up. It's Major League Baseball on the show Jay Hap gets the ball for the Yankees in this one. What do you have for us on him Danny? Hey, man, we're gonna get a chance to look at a good veteran pitcher here This guy's been around the block a few times But one of the things he does he still competes at a high level and he's never stopped trying to learn how to be a good pitcher So coming to the plate Brendan Lowe. It'll leave things off here in the bottom half of the first Infield in the over shift here now the pitch And here's a fastball called for strike one the wind up and the oh one And he takes this one high one and one Two and one to the raise leadoff batter. I fastball is in there Fastball strike three called on the outside corner and a pretty generous corner at that is that's the first down of the inning Well that call looked like it was a little in the pitchers 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 in field shifted well to the right Here's the first pitch Drops in a strike to start the at bat nothing in one and this is high a ball in a strike That was a tempting pitch to swing at right there a big power guy like this Really wants something that he can elevate and drive out of the ballpark two and one to count There's a fastball on the inner third taken for a strike Great job of doubling up with a 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 line drive to left That gets down and he's got himself a base hit Hey, sometimes you just got to tip your cap right there you executed nice pitch down in the zone I think you're gonna get a ground ball or a swing and a miss and you find yourself with a man on first You've got to regroup and that will bring in young DVS And the first pitch to him's a change up that can't find the zone It's ball one man at first for him following the one-out single top. It's two and oh Runner at first year one man out and he gets this fastball over. It's two and one Hey, it looks like this guy's gonna work in the upper part of the strike zone It'll be interesting to see if this lineup can adjust to the way he pitches He's set and the two one pitch now a ball grounded to short This could be two Lame here for one on the first but not in time as he's in there ahead of the throw Up next for the race G-man Choy He takes his first cuts in this one with a man at first and two away from the belt kicks and deals a Runner on first with two away out of play off to the right. It's one and one from the belt the pitch As a veteran out on the mound That's a pitch that you expect to get a call on got a belief He keeps pounding that spot until he builds a rapport with the umpire Now the two one pitch We ground her down the first baseline, but this will be a foul ball as that evens things at two and two Got him swinging and that will end the inning Nothing in the Tampa first on to the second now from Tropicana still nothing nothing Digging into the batter's box next will be Giancarlo Stanton as it will be five six and seven do up to kick off the second inning Outfield shaded a bit to left center the first pitch Swing and a shot hit down the corner Nearly a big fly to start the inning instead of foul ball Strike two called on the inner half 0 and 2 now and a good sinker there gets him swinging for the first down I'll tell you it's hard to get more of a confidence boost and striking out the best hitters in the lineup back to back to back He's looking really sharp right now Here's Brett Gardner now as the first pitch misses high and inside for ball one Bouncer to the left side fielded cleanly And the off balance throw gets him nice play for the out Striding in Torrez the work on keeping this top of the second alive ready with the first pitch here. It comes Torres is certainly known in part for power at the plate in particular in these types of match ups against a left-hander on the mound Yeah, because he knows that lefty can't get inside on him What a comforting feeling you know it is as a hitter when that pitcher has nowhere to go on the inner half of the plate Hey, this is an amazing inning right here attacking the zone keeping his defense invested chance to get off the field super quick the 1-2 Hit to first he's got it to the pitcher covering as that will retire the side the Yankees go 1-2-3 We'll go to the bottom of the second no score next to the plate for Tampa Bay puncher rim throw They'll start things out here in a tie ball game Hunter Stoff ring on its way Fowled away now the one-and-one pitch Is swung on and missed and that strike two Into the corner and slicing foul Try again one two to two balls and two strikes now So the bases you're empty with one man gone and up next will be the right-handed hitting Jose Martinez First pitch of the at-bat Drives it out to deep right center field And that ball gets down out near the wall and should be extra bases is in its second base with a one-out double Wow, the pitcher must be just shaking his head Wasn't anywhere near the strike zone, but he gave it the old Tomahawk chop and somehow connected with it Anyway, now he's standing on second and he even has to smile about that one Stepping in Willie Adamas in past meetings with J half not great He's one for eight for strike one Has pitched his way to over 1600 innings of work at the big league level and has an ERA just under four a Respectable number that he'd like to improve upon in this one. Oh and one here. It comes On it out towards second LeMay Hughes got it and there are two away now Picking up to the plate Kevin Keirmeyer Time to cash in here in his first at-bat with a runner at third and two gone. He's set and the pitch This is hit the other way out toward left field Undeja is there and he puts this one away for the third out So a great job there of working out a potential trouble raise strand just the one will move to the third with no score Look point as we are all set to begin the third inning in this one Here's the first pitch to him A little tardy there no balls in a strike and this catches the inside corner good spot there It's oh and two Good job to spoil that one away and he stays alive now a swing and a miss as he picks up another one make it for Strikeouts already and there's your first out. Well, I'm glad we get another look at that beauty of a pitch right there You can't spot a sinker in a better location because even if you do get the bat on the ball There's not a whole lot you could do with that Textbook sinker in Giovanni your shell up back to him on the mound And he'll just flip this on to first for the second out of the year And that's him's DJ. Lemay you into the box He's over one after grounding out in his only trip to the plate so far first pitch coming here. It is Third inning no score to this point Sharp ground ball to third right to him throw in time and the side is retired One two three go the bombers home half of the third coming up no score Striding into the box Mike's anino as we move on to the bottom of any number three Pitch on its way down to Zanino In tight here with the first pitch fastball that's one and all now. Here's the pitch Filed off in front of the changeup and he can't keep it fair two strikes on him now Looking for the strikeout. Here's the one to now a swing and a miss as he picks up another one make it four Strikeouts already and there's your first out. Good job of making him chase a pitch for the strikeout there Yeah, Matt, that's the advantage of getting ahead and account You can really force hitters to expand their zone to protect and when they're in that mode getting them to go after a pitch that can't do much with becomes a lot easier to the plate now Brandon Lowe as he will look at a first pitch fastball for ball one Oh for one for him here in this one ball in a strike Heading out towards shallow right Judge in a few steps as he takes it two down So bases are empty here with two gone. Austin Meadows will be the next to bed Ready with the first pitch here it comes. He's got him in the palm of his hand now. It's 0 and 2 Two out lightning definitely applies to this offense. If this two hole hitter can get on they could start something serious A swing and a miss as he chased with two strikes and that will retire the side Raise go in order one two three will head to the fourth still scoreless Here's Miguel Andujar now he's over one thus far this game is rolling right along as we move into the middle innings with no score You 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 And this will be pulled in just in front of the warning track for the first out Here's big Aaron judge Comes into this at bat 0 for one in the ball game first delivery to him on the way And he gets ahead 0 and 1 Hey, he's got great feel for that pitch right there. He can throw it anytime he wants for a strike Skied in the air to straight away left Meadows is in his tracks now as he makes the catch for out number two Striding forward now the Yankee cleanup hitter Gary Sanchez to a way to get him in the lead Gary Sanchez to a way in the inning and then it looks like this could be another one two three inning form Yeah, he has really found a groove on the mound and it's been impressive to watch It'll be interesting to see how long he could keep this dominance up First pitch of the at bat Below the knees one ball no strikes and he won't bite at that one either it's two and 0 You never 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 Two balls in a strike Guxy pitch right there 2-0 changeup for a strike good call by the catcher great execution by the pitcher No runs no hits and no errors for the Yankees so far all even now two and two Now here's the pitch Drilled right back up the middle scooped up They'll whip this one to first in time and that ends the inning So the Yankees go one two three on to the bottom of the fourth now still with no score to go in the bottom of the fourth Riding in once again, Yandy Diaz reached by way of a fielder's choice his first time around Lay's off one and 0 Two balls and no strikes After watching that one go by and a ball being called you can rest assured he knows he's not getting away with another one of those I guarantee you he's going to be aggressive on this next pitch The 2-0 Great job on those last two pitches of varying speeds gave him a hard fastball and then he locked him up with a changeup Two balls and a strike here it comes Grounded down the third baseline but this will wind up a foul ball two and two Now the pitch Full count three balls and two strikes G-man Choi waits on deck Looking to fade his first walk here it comes Swing and a ball hit out toward right center And that'll get down for a base hit G-man Choi the next to hit as he'll try to hold back on the swing But he went around for the first strike Looking to put the ball in play here He went down on strikes in his first at bat No runs three hits one error in the ballgame for Tampa Bay Now a swing and a fly ball And it's a foul ball Here's another O2 Goes the other way with it as this is in the air down the line and left In there a base hit Hey two runners on after back to back singles right there They are in prime position to put the first run on Right here Hunter Renfrow as he'll come up empty there as he misses the off-speed pitch for strike one He was a strikeout victim in his first try Too high there and maybe a bit outside as well two and one Has to be a challenge pitch coming up here He probably doesn't want to flirt with loading the bases The two one home is strike two swinging Hey I'd like to see a little bit more discipline in that You get to count your favorite he's swinging a pitch that bad Working for the punch out and the offering And this one gets away So now two men in scoring position Well you live by the sword you die by it too He went with an off-speed pitch down in the zone And that's the risk you take there The catcher can't come up with it and two runners advance Now they're both in the scoring position Just hung in there on that one Too close for comfort and he did a good job just to make contact Hey last two pitches back to back off-speed then he's laid on the fastball He could pretty much do anything he wants right here on the mound And it's fouled away Looked like he was cheating a heater right there a little bit too far out in front Got to find a way to keep his hands back He finally wears him down here as he strikes him out after a nine pitch at bat But the play now for the raise is the DH Jose Martinez one for one As he reached base with a double his first time up Yeah he jumped all over that first pitch last time up Interested to see if he has the same approach to saving And it looks as though the decision makers in the dugout will give him a free pass to first So the bases are loaded here on the intentional walk And the fourth play is now in order Stepping into the box Willie Adamus He's over one after grounding out in his only trip to the plate so far Yeah Matty expect this pitcher to try and get the same result that's his last at bat right here The double play is in order Anything on the ground the way this defense is They could certainly roll to 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 That's taken Now it's 0-1-2 Just way too patient in this situation With the bases loaded like this This is your chance to be the hero With two strikes to the Ray shortstop Hey this is a monster strikeout situation right here The double play would be great in this situation But I know he's going for the K You get a 1-2 count on the guy He's going to throw his nastiest stuff Open to send him packing Pitch on its way Now a fastball taken outside here as it moves it to 2-2 now Alright no more hoping he's going to chase It's 2-2 now You've got to come up with the best pitch right here Because this is definitely A strikeout situation He had a good job to shorten up and protect the plate And he'll have another shot at it here Now the 2-2 Swung on and missed he got him Boy he's got great stuff today doesn't he That's seven punch outs now here in the middle innings He's up over one in the inning up to this point It'll be interesting to see if this lineup Can change their plan of attack And start to put the ball in play But right now that's just not happening And Kevin Keirmeyer As he looks at a fastball that's in there for strike one Fly it out in his first half back So make him 0 for 1 so far Winging strike and now it's 0-2 Hey this is a huge pitch right here It would be demoralizing to watch this inning slip away 0-2 here it is That's a good take there on that 0-2 fastball just missed He must have a really good eye at the plate Eighth punch out of the ball game And that one ends the inning Raise, leave them loaded Through four still tied Nothing nothing Back at Tropicana Field and let's check in with Heidi Watney Thanks Matt I talked with Yankees manager Aaron Boone During the break about the team's offensive performance so far And he told me overall He's not happy with the at-bats they're putting together They've only managed one base runner in this game So it's easy to see why he said they haven't shown much fight today He's hoping to see someone step up And find a way to get something going though The game isn't out of hand so it remains to be seen If they can snap out of this funk And climb back into this one All right Heidi thank you Giancarlo Stanton now Looking to put the ball in play here He went down on strikes in his first at-bats Yeah and he didn't put up much of a fight either Matt He got to find a way Can't go down three pitches I don't care if you're staring at him Or swinging him You have to find a way to make this picture work a little bit harder A little quick on that swing He's behind 0-2 And they'll try to tempt him with a curve ball But this bounces in front of the plate And it's 1-2 Tried to hold up there Appealed down to first and no swing It's ball 2 The wind up here comes the 2-2 pitch Hit sharply toward the right side It's down for extra bases And the Yankees have their first hit of the game And this is just a cut fastball He's trying to sneak in the backdoor He's unable to get it done He leaves it right over the hard of the plate And that's just too easy for a guy like this He's licking his chops as the ball arrives And he drills it to the outfield For an extra base hit So here's the veteran Brett Gardner And he'll hit with a chance To push across the game's first run Yeah great RBI opportunity here But at the very least He needs to find a way to advance that Runner to third Small things like that in a tight game Can make a big difference Hold high in the air out to right field Renfro is there and he'll bring this one in Digging in Torres he got on top of one It was a ground out victim last time The look now the pitch First pitch hack in here And that's the first strike Ready with the nothing in one pitch He couldn't pull that one back As he clearly broke the plane to the plate And that'll be ruled a strike One out and a runner on second base Like he shortstopped behind in the count One and two And he got him to swing through it For the second out Now a complaint He looked to bounce back after striking out His last time up First pitch of the at-back The 1-0 And a strike to even the count One and one Two out here and a runner at second Oh they have him looking awfully confused Up there right now It's one and two Matt had his mind up He was going to swing As soon as the ball came out of the pitcher's hand From the scratch the 1-2 Swing and a miss and that ends the inning To back strikeouts keep him out of danger Mark Dan and I are back with more After this Welcome back for the bottom of the fifth Here's Heidi Watney Matt raised manager Kevin Cash Talked to me in between innings About his lineups offensive production And overall he's really happy With the at-bats they're putting together 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 Thank you Heidi Coming to the plate now Mike Zanino He looked to get something going here In this scoreless ball game First offering on its way Zanino He's a veteran of the age 29 season He's a veteran of 7 years at the major league level Now here's the pitch And a pitch in the dirt as he lays off It's 1-1 And some action out in the Yankee bullpen now As the right hander starts to loosen up A 1-2 count to the raised catcher He fouls this one off Looking to punch him out again The pitch And he lays off it to even the count 2-2 He's getting off speed right here Only way he was laid on that heater Is he was expecting another changer And that's low so a good eye there As he works the count back full Squared that one up just a little late Finally just wear him down As this one swung on and missed For the first out Leading off the inning Your job is to get on base And set the table for the inning That was a pretty good at back And that he pushed the count to 3-2 The pitch back Pretty sure that was ball 4 he went after Stepping in now Brandon Low As he'll take a cold strike here on a borderline pitch It's strike one He's 0-2 in the ball game so far And the 0-1 Back up the middle and in for a base head Well you see that happen quite a bit At the big league level Breaking ball up and away And hit for a full for a base hit Yeah Dan you try and look for it To pop out above the pitcher's hand This is actually a slider So nice job by the offensive player Not only recognizing it But not trying to do too much Stan Meadows comes on with one Gone here as he looks at a cold strike one Hey there aren't too many power hitters in the game That would let that pitch go by On its way the 0-1 pitch Chased a low ball there And he's quickly down in the count 0-2 The discipline has just been Completely absent from this offense Seems like they're always finding Behind the count and the big reason Why is there swinging at all kinds of stuff That's not even in the strike zone Trying to send him packing for the second time And that misses 2-2 He started this guy backwards Couple of off speed pitches early Followed by back to back hitters He can go either way he wants to go right now And they're working the outer half here But that one's wide for ball 3 Not a bad time right here To put that runner in motion 3-2 count You send the runner and if it's a bad pitch it's ball 4 Runners on first with one down When it crushed it just pulled it a little foul Down the first base line But this will get foul so they'll do it again 3-2 They off pitch home Lighter in there for a base hit Set the corners following one out single This is their time right here This starting pitcher has been on point all day Runs have been at a premium They have an opportunity to do something special right here Here comes the Yankee manager Now up out of the dugout on his way to the mound And that will bring an end to the appearance by Jay Hap So he'll depart in the fifth with the go-ahead run on base Didn't work the required five for the win But he could still be hung for the loss Should that run come around to score Luis Sessa makes the mound to try to get out of this mess There are two on with only one away Into the box now Yankee Diaz Down to third Dive but it's off his glove And the run should score Throw to first not in time As the run is across to score Boy that has to feel good as a hitter Get that base hit to give your team the lead You have to feel good when you get down the first base Yeah it's just a nice approach You see him turn to his boys right there And get fired up with the dugout 100% not trying to do too much Able to quiet the moment down Center himself and come through in a big spot G-man Choi As he takes a cold strike at the knees It's own one He's working on a one for two game so far Ready with the 0-1 Failed off Two quick strikes and now the 0-2 Oh and they pull the string on a good change up there As he swings and misses And he set down on strikes for the second time tonight Well there's the great equalizer The change of El Cambio Listen if you can keep that pitch in your back pocket And pull it out when you need it Usually hitters they don't stand a chance Hunter Renfrow Pitch is way outside and that's strike to the backstop And the runners will stay put here on ball one The 1-0 A couple of strikeouts early in the game But he's done a much better job than this at bat Trying to get ahead And put himself in a good hitters count Looking to keep this a one run game The pitch 2-1 It's not easy to get your barrel to a pitch that high It'll be an effective location As long as he keeps it above the letters The set and the 2-1 Got a good spot to be in right now Pitch is falling behind an account With a guy up that hits really well With runners in scoring positions There's the good fastball And he can't catch up 3-2 I don't blame the batter for pulling the trigger right there Those fastballs light up your eyes And you can occasionally do damage with him But he wasn't able to catch up with that one And he misses with it for ball four So the bases will be loaded now with two away Digging in once again Jose Martinez Pitch coming here it is One offering Hit down the third base line But that'll get foul It's 0-2 now Now the 0-2 Got him So the damage winds up not being as bad As it could have been But through five here at the ballpark Tampa Bay leads this one One to nothing So digging in now Giorgio Scella will start things out In their half of the sixth As they look to shape things up here For a lineup that quite frankly Has been non-existent to date No doubt about that They've been completely over matched To this point One hit through five innings I mean what else can you say About the pitching they faced Yet that on its way Her ball and that misses in the dirt For ball one And he misses low with it 2-0 Now Pitch on the way It's fouled away Swung on and hit pretty well Out to deep left field Gone To lead off the inning Solo shot here to left And the Yankees have drawn even now Would want a piece Hey listen there's an old adage Here's one of the top hitters in that lineup So a homerun a solo homerun right here It's not the end of the world Here's the second baseman DJ LeMayhew As the sinker to him finds the zone For strike one Ofer two from him so far in this one And on its way Sent in the air out to straight away center Kiermeyer's got a read on it One out And that'll bring up Miguel Endujar Third trip to the plate for him here tonight Ofer two at this point First pitch coming here it is Outside target here And he hits it for strike one Action in the raised pen now As they've got a lefty and a right hander Up and throwing And a sinker dips too low there Into the dirt in fact Outside two and one Hit softly on the ground A third And that's the second out For another shot now He 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-B Hey this one's tied late in the game As a pitcher right now You just can't lay a cookie in there Want to know A swing and a shot hit down the corner And that nearly broke our tie But instead it's a foul ball Hit the target but this is low Two and one One might be coming right here Two out nobody on Three and one If I'm in the box right now I'm coming unglued He is going to throw something over the heart of the plate No walks yet Here's the delivery This is on the ground over the first Off balance throw gets him Nice play there as the side is retired But the Yankees are able to tie things up On the solo home run Bottom of the sixth coming up He's tied at one and one So striding in No hits to this point He's ready Here's the first offering At that point either it's two and oh This at that sets up really good right here Hasn't seen the fastball yet But now he gets to count it Two balls and no strikes He has to be looking for a fastball Right here The count now at two and one In a row Well ball three their hate and the raise right now They would love to take a lead off walk To start this inning And that one misses so the leadoff man Will head down to first on ball four To start the bottom of the sixth Man when the game is tied The last thing you can afford to do Is walk the leadoff hitter Gotta focus on getting that ground ball now Here's Kevin Kiermeier He's hit listen is to at bats so far Threat here's the pitch Well if you could throw it change up is effective. Hitters are almost never looking for it and it's one in one now with no outs here and this one's in the dirt runner holds as the count moves to two and one all over that one but a little out in front foul ball to two is looked at and the count moves for the big bad of Mike Zanino on and hit in the air to left left fielder giving chase he gets there to make the play for the first inning so runner at first now with one away and that'll bring up the catcher Mike Zanino out as short can they get to Torres brings it in the Mayhew for one on the void and ending ending double play raise held in check here still tied one a piece is on the pitch from the bullpen now to start ending number seven be the four hole hitter Gary Sanchez 0 for two for the first time to this point I'm set here's the nothing and nothing pitch in today's game everybody's trying to work off the mound north south trying to elevate that heater he wanted that pitch right there but I can tell you as an offensive player I'd rather give you six inches off east west than to have you call that high fastball the two oh it's laid off but in there for strike one now the two one hits into the shift but this is going to be a foul ball as that keeps things at two and two don't be shocked if this pitcher tries to go a little bit further outside the zone three foul balls in a row he wants to get a swing and a miss on this next pitch and he struck him out second time tonight now that he's been set down on strikes 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 to strike approach either so now to the second base John Carlo Stanton and on the first pitch he hits it in the air to right and that's in there base hit good effort to bring it back in quickly but he's in its second base with a double pitch to him runs a bit inside for Bowl one he's 0 for 2 in the ball game so far of contact there but it's well followed swing and a miss and they'll dodge a major bullet that time two away stepping in Torrance it's his first pitch he's going to get something into the outfield and give that go ahead run a chance to score from second here's the first pitch to him a ball and no strikes go ahead runs in scoring position here with two down up inside for a ball to an oh now with two outs in the base open I don't think he's going to see anything to hit this at that not much reason for it in a close game like this really matters so you can afford to be giving out free passes this late and that so it's first and second now with two out digging in to try it again look boy two outs and two runners aboard here in the seventh inning while the Yankees have been searching for that big hit pretty much all game it remains to see if they can get it but now it sure would be a good time no runs a hit to left seventh inning stretch time here at the ballpark all tied at one and one so the lineup flips over and digging in Brandon Lowe scored after reaching on a single in his last time up swing and a screamer but this one's not going to stay fair and he gets a piece of it here but it's chopped foul the one to Ben's on one here and drives it to deep right field put this one away and that's the first out ready for another chance Austin Meadows he steps in off a base hit in his last at that he's offering on its way strike one but hard slider there but it runs away it's a ball and a strike now the one and one pitch and he fouls this one off the one two don't be surprised if he gets another back foot slider right here don't think for a second just because he took the first one that this pitcher won't come back exactly the same way one out nobody on swing line drive that's going to be trouble eggs churning he's headed for second second and he's going to pass with one away is the go ahead run as we take another look here you can see it's a two seen fastball running away from him at the plate so he does this smart thing not trying to pull it or just rolling over it just goes with it and has enough juice on it to drive it for a double Johnathan Holder picks the call from the pen as he'll try to get the final two outs of this seventh frame plate now and he'll watch one miss up and away for the ball one and all he's two for three and looking for more here a swing and a miss at a slider for a strike go ahead runs in scoring position here with one away porch to third a diving effort as it's off his glove on the recovery throw is in time to get the out at first what a heads up play so a runner at second two down now and that brings up the corner infielder G-man here it comes pulls this one into the air out into right field judges under it he holds it in and the potential go ahead run will not come around to score fine work there out of a Yankee bullpen we'll look ahead to ending number eight now all tied at one and one Chas Rome has been summoned from the bullpen as he'll do so to start the eighth and looking for more Gio or Shella to go to work trying to do something about breaking this one one tie it'll be interesting to see if they use that change up in this at bat that last at bat that was a change up he hit for a home run I'm going to see if this time they don't go to more fastballs and curveballs one ball no strikes to count the one oh high in the air out to center field here Myers got to read on it looks it into his glove and there's one gone so back to the top of the Yankee order digging in DJ LeMay here who could really use a knock here over three in the game so far ready here's the first offering the short hit hard Adamus brings it in and quickly there are two away now digging in now Miguel Andujar he's hitless in three at bats to this point ready with the first pitch here it comes and action now in the Tampa Bay pen as it looks like a right hander's began to get loose the 1 0 ripped down the first base line and a reach but it's by him as he couldn't quite get to that ball throw into second not in time and he's in there with a double yeah this one was starting to look like it was going to be one of those one two three easy innings but now all of a sudden they have to go ahead run standing out there at second base after the two out double big moment here and that'll bring up Aaron judge it's been a rough lot of things at the plate form 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 when to keep it tied here it comes on the slider and he's quickly behind nothing in two gotta believe you're going to get some tough pitches in this count with the base open at first this is where you have to regroup and find a way to get a good pitch to drive in that run here's the 0 2 one ball it's a great job to lay off on that nasty slider right there it's the toughest pitch it was my toughest pitch to lay off of I was always sitting fastball middle away and when that slider came out boy did it look like a heater for a long time on the stretch the 1 2 a little low it's 2 and 2 well all of the umpires in the seats thought that would strike 3 and they weren't far off but I think that was a good call look to be just a bit outside go ahead runs in scoring position here with two down won't commit on the slider good patience and it's full 3 and 2 Wow this is a pretty good at bat right here from down in the count 0 and 2 to work the count back to 3 and 2 and he's seen a lot of pitches to miss his ball for so it's first and second now with two out two ways to look at this walk if you're the hitting coach you say that's a great AB down 0 2 and you work the walk but if you're a pitcher like me that's just a case of letting a guy off the hook and that can really frustrate the striding forward now Gary Sanchez in a big at bat in this one two on two away here in the eighth pitch coming here it is nope at the ball it is career Sanchez it's just over 100 career home runs to his credit got to find a way to execute either a good fastball down the way or flip something off speed for a strike you cannot miss over the harder plate in these situations the hitter is on high alert a big fastball and he's well behind it with the swing well two on two outs and he's got himself in a great hitters count just has to be careful not to get too aggressive the walk would be good here too 3 and 1 here it is and it's up to a 3 2 full count now when you get yourself to a 3 1 count and you get a fastball those are the ones you really want to punish couldn't get the bat on it so we'll see if that comes back to on it out again that's the third time he's gone down on strikes in this one Yanks strand a pair score remains tied one to one Hunter Renfrow no hits to this point the at bat on its way eat on the fastball for strike one this is drilled but right into the shift and quickly there's one down to lead off the frame starting forward now is the DH Jose Martinez he's one for two in this one and here's the first offering line drive snagged on a short hop and very quickly there they're too gone to start the inning stepping into the box Willie Adamus he's hit listen is too at bat so far first pitch of the at bat the wind up and the 1 and 0 now it's 2 and 0 I don't mind him trying to pitch him backwards right there with those two early count sliders but now we find himself in a situation where he's going to have to come fastball too high and it's 3 and 0 yeah he's all over the place right now no doubt he's clearly fighting his mechanics from the wind up the 3 0 and he lays off ball for now the potential go ahead run is on base here Kevin Kearmeyer it was a fly out for him in his last trip but here's the first pitch out with the possible go ahead run at first a ball in a strike a little hesitation right there by the batter is great execution by the pitcher down and away that looked like a late swim could have been sitting on something else and it's a ball and two strikes to Kearmeyer now third strike and the inning is over one left for Tampa score remains deadlocked in one all set for the start of the inning in now is the Yankees DH Jean Carlo still so far two for three in this one first pitch on its way a great job pound in his own strike one and got a great hitter in the box got to get ahead count leverage is a must here and it's even at one fouled away air out to left field Eddow's has it and there's one away box now Brett Gardner he struck out swinging in his last trip to the plate yeah he's got to put that one behind him especially with runners in scoring position those punchouts will stick with you a little longer he's ready here's the first offering slider bends into the middle of the strike zone taken for a strike Wow I can't believe the hitter took that one the pitcher absolutely got away with the right side defense aligned perfectly adabas picks it up and there are two away now so stepping in Torres over two from him so far in this one he set and the pitch and this is taken outside for ball one one and oh here it is swing and misses he ramps up on the fastball one and one and that misses two and one 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 and there's ball three on a breaking ball that misses away I'd be real surprised if he goes back out away there on the mound this is a count for a fastball challenge and we'll see if he's ready for it in the box the three and one pitch well behind that fastball it's a swinging strike the payoff pitch strikes him out on a good pitch so one run can win it as we head to the bottom of the inning one two three go to bombers still tied one apiece Britain enters to do the pitching and best case scenario for him is to push this one extra inning all set for the bottom of the ninth now to the plate Mike Zanino he was a double play victim last time around he doesn't have to worry about that in this situation Maddy no one on base right now try and get something up so you can drive the baseball and here's a slider that's nowhere close and it's one and oh a ball and a strike to Mike Zanino now action in the bullpen as their closers starts to get loose out there just off the outside that time laid off the ball though there's a good shot he might get pulled back strike to called and it's full three and two down on strikes for the third time another strikeout for him on the mound and boy is it fun to watch him go about his business no doubt Maddy he's one of my favorites mostly because of the stuff you know he can absolutely dominate on any given day because of what he offers up there it's just nasty there aren't many hitters that like to see this guy on the mound at the right now Brandon Lowe and it's fouled away he comes into this appearance in the midst of a one for four day he's ready here's the 0 1 all in two strikes you know what Maddy I think it's so tough for a lefty to stay tucked on that slider to keep his front shoulder in and be able to recognize it and not get to the count 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 and he that's back to back case and he's making it look pretty easy this has the makings of a good outing so far thing in now Austin Meadows a silly office slider to low ball one three for four so far and seeing it well in this ball game two balls and no strikes to the raise left fielder not even close with the 1 0 he needs to get back in his own but be careful work the quadrants and he fouls the ball one off sent foul again and after being way ahead now it's even a two and two two and two here it is a swing and a miss on a ball way outside the strike zone and the inning is over three up three down three strikeouts not too shabby don't touch that dial or the remote for that matter more on the show right after this Colin Pochette takes the mound as he'll be the first man to pitch here in extra innings and he'll be the first man to pitch here in this one all ending with him going down on strikes first pitch on its way low for ball one you just have to tip your cap and look for the next one and the one one pitch wave and a miss made him reach he knows full well he's sitting on a hat trick right here all he's trying to do is avoid the golden sombrero the one to great job so far by the one who finds a way to get on base this could spell for a huge in three two pitch grounded to third fielded cleanly wrote a first gets him one out here to lead off the 10th digging in now for the Yankees Geo or Shella it was a fly out for him in his last trip first pitch of the at bat on its way strike one to start the at bat bases are empty one man at this ball misses inside it's even at one little hopper back to the mound pro gets him to down to the top of the lineup stepping in DJ Lumet here struggling so far in this one and looking to erase his offer for a ball game right here from the stretch and a high strike to begin the at bat it's all in one bases are empty here with two men fast ball well outside all it's two and one two and two late with the swing but he stays in the lead with a five still two and two again he sends it out of play the set and the two to sent on the ground out the second he's got it pro to first in plenty of time and the side is retired so the Yankees go one two three score remains tied one to one Ben Heller comes on to start the home 10th and he's just hoping to get this one into the 11th inning number 61 Ben Heller ready for the bottom of the 10th year now at the plate Yandy Diaz he was a ground out victim last time up here comes and he takes a cold strike 0 and 1 timing just to tick off there is this one's fouled off to the right 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 boy is over and he puts it away for the first down so here's the cleanup jimmy and joy he comes into this appearance in the midst of a one for four day as a right hander begins to throw out there like a definite pitchers pitch there on the inside one and one popped him up is under it and he brings it in for the second out of the inning now 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 standing in Hunter Renfro he was retired via the ground ball last time up and he did the liver here's the first pitch well above the letters with the fastball that time good pitch there had him a little out in front two out nobody on fouled away ball and two strikes into the wind up the two to pitch Wow talk about a waste pitch on two and two that one wasn't even close I don't know anyone that would have swung at that pitch hit sharply on the ground and that's through for a hit he'll get it into second hey that's a nice piece of hitting right there two out base not to put the winning run on base let's see if someone can catch a gap in this thing potential winning run out there at second they'll get a little more speed out there to perhaps score on a base hit Jose Martinez and so take a look at ball one and he's got a chance to bring in the winning run question is whether they'll even pitch to him center field Gartner on the move he's got it as the winning run is stranded that in the inning danger averted following the two out double 10 innings in the books on to the 11th still time well Marco will stick around as he'll take over in right field Peter Fairbanks makes the mound to start the 11th inning settling in now Miguel Andujar he'll kick things off here in the 11th first offering on its way now towards shallow right Margo has to come in a few steps but he has it for out number one play Aaron judge it was a walk in his last trip right and now it's 0 and 2 it's becoming more and more common in today's game to see believers like this that can run it up there close to a hundred miles per hour but it's so fun to watch it he blew it right by him there Brian tempted with one of the dirt but he'll hold back here it's one and two and fishing there but he won't offer in dirt and it's back to even a two and two regardless of the result right here to be down 0 2 and work it back to an even count gotta feel like it's a win for the offense left side of the infield into the shift and there's out number two Gary Sanchez he went down on strikes last time up yeah kind of shocked he got blown away with a fastball you could tell he was late on that one and we'll see if he tries to cheat to something this evening first pitch of the advanced like to see him be looking to the opposite field with this next swing pitchers trying to work you away bases are empty here with two men out bullet back up the middle reach up to make the catch show what a play that time as that ball had extra bases written all over it but with that catch the ending is over stepping in and ready for another shot Willie Adamus it was a walk in his last trip good deception on the slider there as he's way out in front hit the other way out toward right field judges on the move he gets to it and makes the catch for the first out into the box now Kevin Keermire looking to change his fortunes here with two strike outs so far in the game ready with the first pitch here it comes number two Ford center and a clean base hit so he gets off the Schneid as they say and is now one for five in the game a nice piece of hitting right there to put the winning run on base I know there's one out in the inning they got one more to play with that they could potentially be productive with but this guy's looking to end this right now with something like Zanino as he takes a called strike on the black its own one he's got a chance to end this one and send these fans home happy if he can get a ball deep enough into the gap just at second base Wow that's a big time throw right there and it's a tall cast to throw him out stealing it back but he got rid of it quickly and it was a good job down there applying the quick tag they'll have to feel good about that to out nobody on hit sharply toward the right side and a little self preservation down at first as he pulls that one into in the inning nothing more than one for Tampa score remains deadlocked at one next for New York Giancarlo Stanton it was a fly out for him in his last trip first pitch of the at bat and he gets ahead here with the fastball strike one and it's one and one set here comes the one one slider laid off for a ball good job to work to 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 possibly an interesting development here it's a lead off walk to begin the frame and extra innings well the reason power hitters generally draw more walks and other guys is exactly what we saw right there pitchers work around them and nibble the corners a lot more so they don't get burned he made some good pitches but he just couldn't get him to chasing up out of the zone ready so once again Brett Gardner go ahead run at first nobody out here's the first pitch now a bunch attempt here as he gets this one down throws going to go on the first so a perfect sacrifice there is now the go ahead one moves into scoring position here so a big spot here in stepping in Torres and he could very well get the intentional pass here as that would set up a potential double play ball that might make the game tied first pitch fastball off the plate there in it's ball one it's 2 and 0 look like he just tried to do too much with that fastball right there he over through it a little bit that's pretty much the case when you air mail a fastball like that hit hard to third scooped up in time to first in there or two away his day at the plate hasn't amounted to much 0 for 4 but this is a great opportunity to make a difference. Well your team really needs you like they need it right here. You have to be able to put your personal struggles out of your mind right now is all that matters. Here's the first pitch scoring position here with two down and boy was he ever fooled on that pitch. It's 0 1 2 now. You know what that ugly swing tells me right there. This guy's got his good slide or work and that thing's got depth and fight. There's a fastball well off the plate for a ball. Well there's the classic fastball not even close to the zone. We'll see what he throws on the next pitch. One and two pitch hit on the ground to third gets him and the side is retired one left for the Yankees still tied one a piece Adam on a vino. He summoned here to start the home 12th and the best case scenario for him is to take us to the 13th bottom of the 12th inning now. So Tampa's batting order turns over and set to go Brandon Lowe was sat down on his last at bat. First pitch of the at bat on its way misses for the second ball. You know sometimes it takes a pitcher a few pitches to get going but those two pitches weren't even close. Paul's behind an account two and oh it's time to start getting locked in. Austin Meadows he struck out swinging in his last trip to the plate. First pitch on its way outside target here and he hits it for strike one. Right hander starts to loosen out in the bullpen now pulled toward right center field Gardner is there to God digging in beyond the DS his last at bat didn't go his way as he popped out in foul territory. Yeah Matty and I think that pop out was just a result of poor pitch selection got to see the pitch over the hardware plate. 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 bases are empty here with two men out hit the other way out toward right field judges under it and that ends the inning and in order go the raise score remains tied one to one. Diego Castillo takes the hill now to begin the lucky 13 thinning number fifty three here you go. Stepping up now. Giorgio he was a ground out victim last time up. Yo. Her fellow three to him on the way hits this one hard the other way. Oh look at the sliding stop there preventing the leadoff man from getting aboard. Wow what a great show of brains there. This ball looked like it might get through up the middle but check out the sliding stop and that's going to take him right into a good throwing position where he's able to get enough on the throw to get him out at first. So the batting order turns over now and set to go D.J. LeMay here. He was retired via the ground ball last time up. First pitch is a slider called for a strike. Now a southpaw to throw in that Tampa Bay bullpen. This is one and one two balls in a strike now to the Yankees leadoff man bases are empty one man soft liner to the right side. But this will be taken easily at first and there are two gone. Now with the plate Miguel on to her. It was a fly out for him in his last trip. Here's the first offering sinker on the inside and that's a strike three. So after a scoreless top half they'll have a chance to win it here in the bottom half. One two three go the bombers score remains deadlocked at one. Next will be the cleanup hitter. G-man join you up for the four five and six hitters and they're hoping that this is the part of the lineup that can get something going. Yeah. Only one run on the board so far for them. They just haven't had consistently good at bats. First pitch and he turns on one sending it high and deep to right solo shot to right center and none bigger than that one as this ballgame is over. You're looking to piece together a rally or scratch any runs you can across the plate. But he says hey to heck with that I'm going to do it with one swing at a bat so a walk off home run ends this thing in extras. That was fun.
