Marlins vs. Giants Game Highlights (8/31/24) | MLB Highlights

Bob Hill tonight for the Giants will be Mason Black Black, the right hander. The rookie 63, 230 pounders got him and that's how this game gets started. He took a big swing at it, couldn't make contact. So one away and here comes Jesus sanchez got two pitch secrets there with the fastball. He went away the previous pitch and he comes right back inside corner and he Sanchez, he's got a really good one going right now. Skies this one shallow left field and it's going to be start for Mason up three down first inning for Mason Edward Cabrera who gets the ball for the second time on this road trip his 16th start of the season and a slider , a check swing by can an appeal? No coaches a walk out of Cabrera and that will be a steal into center field gets up and he's going to make it to third. Changes everything. A steal for Canna taking third on the throwing error by Ali sanchez as chapman watches a change up low ball four second walk of the inning, but either way you slice it. Mel Stoudemire Jr probably not thrilled with a 23 pitch first inning as now Conforto popped into the air foul territory. Bride is over and he is back pedaling and he makes the catch over his left shoulder and the inning is over. It really feels like the Giants have let Edward cabrera off the hook here in the bottom of the first inning as we start the second inning, Mason Black on the mound, the right hander swing and a miss he struck out on a high fastball, struck out three of the first four hitters. He Marlins third baseman tonight. Jon O Brien one bounced to the shortstop Fitzgerald comes up empty. I guess we'll see. No, they are going to go infield single. And again, it's because that ball was hit so high. Initially, it was a Baltimore chopper. So that will bring Griffin Kine to the plate. He accomplished everything to start his major league career. Now, the only thing left would be that first home. This one is hit well deep right field and gone. Griffin Conine's first big league homer on it. Hit the right field foul pole Kine with his first bomb in the show and it gives the Marlins a two nothing lead here in the second. Someone go get that baseball. My goodness Edward cabrera now pitching with the lead for the first time this evening, foul tip of sanchez, he hung cabrera got Bailey swinging on a changeup that was running off the outer head of the plate grounded sharply to shortstop. And that just eight up. Otto Lopez, it trickles into shallow left field and is on his way to second. Here comes the throw in and they got, they throw out Encarnacion by a good, I don't know, 10 to 15 ft. And here is Sanchez. He struck out. Looking back in the first, that's a broken bat line drive over the head of the second baseman into right field. A base hit for Jesus Sanchez. And so Jesus Sanchez has the fourth hit of the night for the Marlins here in the third. Here's Jake Berger. Now zero for 13 to two runner goes, pitch swung on and Miss Bailey's throw tag, he is out at second, a strikeout throw out double play and Patrick Bailey made that was a beauty and here's Hensley now a swinging strike, three slider breaking ball and Hensley tried to check his swing, couldn't do it. Strikeout number five, strike three called on the outside corner, six strikeouts in five innings for Black. Three up, three down. He's retired seven in a row going back to the third. You see a guy this big who's got , you think you could get him in , but that swing right there lets you know you better tread softly and another hit for Encarnacion. He's two for 22 strike base hit cost him his bat. But at this point, take third Giants hit two of them by Encarnacion and here comes wisely who struck out looking his first time left handed hitter, a liner down the right field line that's going to down base hit hustling over to cut it off on the warning track is heading for second wisely, the relay comes in, cut off by Norby , a double for Wiseley and to third. Encarnacion. Here's life gets the double and the Giants have their best opportunity yet runners at 2nd and 3rd and only one out here is Jastremski bounced past about that in from second and the throw made by Norby the first in time for the Encarnacion scores. That's a nice at bat. Jassy gets it done in a two strike count in a 2 to 0 ball game. You put your team on the board, that's a great, a high chopper hit. The shortstop Lopez sits back on it. He throws out can at first and the side is retired. Giants do scratch across a run. Giants go to the and the left hander Taylor Rogers in relief of Mason Black Norby, right handed hitter. The leadoff man stands in there is a fly ball that's hit in the air deep to left field. Ramos is going back, gives it a look, Norby with a homer. It's 3 to 1. Miami here in the sixth. That's how you snap in zero for six. The struggle stay short his hit streak to an end last night but another hit, another extra base hit for Norby and another run for Miami. The Marlins have 1st and 2nd with one out here in the sixth inning with one run in and two men on only one man out right hander spencer Bivens will get the call from the bullpen with the right handed hitting Bride coming up, swing and a bouncer past the mound toward the middle sherman over near second. Has it step in the one over the first double play gets the inning over a double play grounder but a run and the Marlins have a 3 to 1 lead after 5.5. Here comes Matt chapman. Chapman has walked and lines a single swing, slow chopped to third charged by Bryant. He bends down to get it one throw to first shoots right on by Hensley, the first baseman. He never got a glove on that one and chapman is safe at first. The Giants have a one out base for at the bottom of the sixth swing line drive to right field of base hit, sprinting around second. Chapman heading for third. The throw will come into second from kine line drive single for Conforto that had to feel good and the Giants have runners at 1st and 3rd with one out and Tyler Fitzgerald will come up to slide out deep to left center and struck out. He's zero for two in this game. Swing. Chapman is in to score for the second in holding Fitzgerald although he was behind the mcdow nonetheless gets the RB I hit successful at bat with runners at 1st and 3rd, less than two outs. And that's going to be the night for cabrera Xavion Curry makes his Marlins debut. A run in the Giants trail 3 to 26 inning. Pop up Hensley underneath. It will make the catch and the threat is over. Giants do get one back though. Three to two and the Marlins have the leadoff man on base to start the seventh inning. Let's see if they can cash it in. That was a great for Otto Lopez and safe because Fitzgerald was blocking the bag. Second base umpire ryan Blakeney right on top of that. Bob Melvin is going to come out believe it. Watch the left foot. Does he give him a lane and he does step away. Now, does he get the tag down? He's out? He gave him a lane, he gave the lane, he moved that foot. This is a huge play. They're not going to review it with their discussion. Apparently, nobody said there was a clear enough lane to overturn the rule. The ruling from Blake, the second base umpire. That is a beautiful piece of hitting to advance the runner. And now Lopez is with one out for Hensley and a bouncing ball in comes Lopez, he'll score easily. They get the out at first. So nothing more than a swinging bunt, but it works for Hensley and the Marlins do in fact, punch right back and that call turns into a run for the Marlins. It's 4 to 2 time for Michael Conforto to knock one out of the yard a good time to do it this way out of the and gone and back to a one run game. It's gone between the four 15 marker and the 391 marker and Michael Conforto makes it a one run game and Calvin Fo is on for the save for Miami in a one run game and a 97 mile an hour pitch up and out of the zone. Encarnacion swings out of his helmet and the Marlins are out away from evening up the series at a game apiece. Now there's two outs and nobody on and Lamonte late night, Wade Jr will bat and pinch hit, swing and a miss strike three. It's Marlins win and they down the Giants in game two tonight by a final score of four to three giants taking around the 500 mark not fall one game under.
