Guardians vs. Rangers Game Highlights (5/14/24) | MLB Highlights

Jack ligher will make his home debut for the Rangers he'd made two starts on the road with no decision a 12.91 ER each start is really important for him because he wants to prove that he's a guy that's capable of being up here and starting every five days rather than a guy that's going to be sent back down to Triple A and then come back up when called upon he wants to be here all the time and Jack lighter climbs up on the hill He's listed at 61 205 lbs number two overall pick out of Vanderbilt in 20 21 the rander facing Tyler Freeman here it comes and it's inside and he hit him so he got aead in the count and hits Tyler Freeman to start tonight's ball game here's Andre simz now the pitch a swing and a chopper to Second semian bobles goes to second one seagar relay no chance semi in a rare Bobble there after Fielding it which cost him significant time with him in his running now the 3-1 and that's inside ball four so heads to First a hit batter and a walk in the inning created the traffic here for lighter lighter's thrown 26 pitches already here is David fry who had a pinch hit walk yesterday right-handed batter ball gets away both Runners try to advance and they will that'll be a wild pitch so man lighter has hit a batter he's walked a batter he's unced a wild pitch and the Guardians have Runners at second and third two down swung on bang to third backing up as Smith to field it throws across the diamond and give the kid credit he didn't implode but oh my goodness that was a lot of work now Ben Lively was in that Dugout a long time after warming up swing and a Fly ball to right near the line floral is there to grab it and that is out number one here's Cory Seager very aggressive goes after the first pitch popped in the air Tyler Freeman squeezes it two down here's Nathaniel low and low takes just caught the inside corner strike three call so lighter made 34 pitches Lively made nine and so floral has walked and zardo to Second suffice it to say at some point here real fast lighter is going to need to be much more efficient with what he's doing or his time on the hill here will be a short here's Baylor a swing and a long drive to deep right center field and this ball is off the base of the wall Naylor on his way to Second manzardo Coming Home floral right behind him it's a two-run double off the base of the wall in right center by B Naylor and the Guardians take a two nothing lead and he's walked so he's now walked three he's hit two batters Andre simz the batter guard I at first and second line drive base hit center field around third him Baylor will score stopping as he rounded second hard was Tyler Freeman it's now three to nothing Guardians as he menz picks up his 2 second RBI on the year runners go and to throw to third not in time so lighter who's been pretty casual with the base runners now pays the price on a double steel will they just put Josh Naylor on uh-huh in the air deep right field Garcia back he's out of room it's out of here Josh Naylor with a two out three run Homer makes it a 6 nothing Guardians lead and that's the end of the line for young Jack lighter here tonight I look at Jack ligher I hear your words young man living out his dream pitching in the major leagues following in his dad's footsteps but it has been a nightmare for him this year do batting 247 for the year eight home runs 31 batted in that Ball's hit well deep out to left it's got a chance and it is gone the doise Garcia gets the Rangers on the board his ninth home run of the year and it's 6 to one it's really important that the Rangers answer and get some sort of momentum going here down six to nothing he hit a slider and just barely kept it fair one gone here in the bottom of the third Cory Seager coming up 02 and that Ball's hit hard down the right field line it is gone a Howitzer down the line solo shot for Seager it's fifth of the Year Cory Seager and the Rangers now Trail six to2 couple of solo shots one for Adis Garcia now this one for Cory Seager now the bases are loaded for Marcus semon and Lively has worked himself into a jam with a pair of walks sandwiched around a single swing and a miss strike three got him with another slider and the side is retired Lively works out of it no damage done and next up is the first baseman mate low so he hits this ball hard out to right field that's got a chance it's gone Low's second home run of the year and the parade of solo home runs has now cut that lead for Cleveland in half it's 6 to3 now adise Garcia steps in he homered his first time up back in the second he tried to hit one Freeman racing in makes the catch rokio ran him over and Freeman is hurt and roio is down as well they've got some assistants out there right now but they are both shaken up Freeman was was playing very deep and he had a full head of steam as he came on then stopped and then roio plowed into him well the good news is they're both up that was a really scary moment they're going to stay in both walking off the field that's incredible isn't it yes that's very lucky Guardians are tough Here Comes Lively's o one-w pitch and it swung on and popped up to left settling under it David fry and he makes the catch to retire the side but the Rangers at another run on the home run by low here's Travis Janowski a double and a line out here comes Freeman he does and makes the catch beauti he's [Applause] indestructible well no he saw the RO one coming out so he felt free to dive yeah I'll tell you what nice play he got a good jump and just kept coming that ball wasn't hit hard and he comes in and puts it away beautiful Smith is 0 for one in a walk in his career against ball hit into center field that's a base hit around third Garcia he heads to the plate here comes a throw all the way through not in time Garcia scores from second and makes it a two-run game so two men aboard with two down for Ezekiel Duran who's 0 for two of the walk and Duran swings and misses chase the curveball and that's how it ends with Barlo getting out of it six to four Cleveland leads here's Tyler Freeman top of the order swung on ground ball shot by the third basem down the left field line gets hung up on that sidewall hitting third is roio he is stopping there and into second with a double as Freeman so Freeman's had a mammoth night his sixth double he's been on base four times so Guardians at second and third nobody out for Andre simz swung on hit in the air medium deep Center this will get a run home Taris makes the catch both Runners are tagging into to scores roio to third is Freeman and the Guardians have a 7 to four lead on another clutch at bat by one of the best clutch hitters in the game Andre Sim menz we might be having some equipment malfunctioning isn't it crazy where we're at in baseball with this he's got an earpiece he's he's got a get the remote controller earpiece and now he's just checking are are you hearing the same thing I'm hearing second walk all year given up by CL and now with Cleveland up 7 to four the banner will be Nathaniel low one for four with a solo Homer swing and a weak Chopper to Second heenez gloves throws to first ball game the Guardians have won another series and they have now won three in a row as as they beat the Texas Rangers tonight
