🔴LIVE NOW! Oakland Athletics vs Detroit Tigers - Sep 7, 2024 MLB Full Game - MLB 24 EN VIVO

just about set to go now and on the mound for Oakland in this one number 38 safe to say he's pretty stingy Chris well he's been a very dependable starter for his club and what stands out for me is that left-handed hitters have really struggle batting below 200 against him and it just tells me they have a hard time tracking the baseball maybe it's the release point maybe it's the motion but just some way somehow they've got to figure out a way to pick it up and try to have some success from the left side the pitch Parker Meadows leading things off and takes a [Music] strike that breaking ball is in for a strike and quickly it is nothing in [Applause] two and a pitch got him SW and that's the first strike out of his major league career and it could be the first of many if he meets the goals he set for himself and the expectations others have for him he doesn't want to just win games he wants to dominate at this level do you think Young pitchers can sometimes get too caught up in trying to rack up KS early in their career Bo I think they can it's kind of like a hitter that doesn't have power The Thrill is still hitting a ball over the fence and so for a guy even if he doesn't have power stuff or strikeout stuff a strike out is still something that makes him stick his chest out a little bit further one out base is empty late on that fast ball I think he was sitting off speed there swing and a highfly ball to left drops into the glove two down let's take a check of the Tigers lineup one guy leading the way offensively for this club right now Matt verling you know boo he really makes the most out of his skill sets leading the team in steals and on base percentage and you know you got sometimes a guy that can run really well but he doesn't get on base enough to utilize that potential as soon as this guy gets on first he's thinking about second and then third he's got the wheels to make that kind of stuff happen and really disrupt the ball game I love watching guys like himam who just make stuff happen in the lineup [Applause] close but called the ball and it's two and0 two out space is empty the two- one in the air out towards left Center no trouble here puts it away for the out and that is that it's the tiger nothing A's coming up you're dialed into the show back here with my pal singy and on the hill Bo brisy what do you look for here well he's been a real quality starter for his club and coming into this one what stands out for me is that right-handed hitters have really struggled batting below 200 on the year it seems that they have a hard time picking up his release point and tracking the ball into the zone so we'll see how randers do against him in this one and now the DH Lawrence Butler trying to pick up his first knock in the big leags one ball no strike Butler goes 6 feet 3 in hitting lead off in today's game and he was a sixth round draft pick back in 2018 right through there for a [Applause] the one one is fouled [Applause] off and the rander deals started to swing held [Applause] up that one just misses and the count is filled up really good take especially with two strikes that one misses so lead off walk well that could be a tone Setter for the inning four straight pitches and the lead off batters on B we see if the next Guy waits until there strike before he takes the B off his shoulder and now here is Brent Rooker first offering and it just misses he's a master at hitting fast balls you need to be careful with location if you're going to throw him Butler aboard here at first with nobody out brisy checks the runner Butler gets back easily and the one0 right through there for a strike one ball one strike slice the other way that's a base hit throw back in quickly first and second now with nobody out that Brent Rooker with his first major league hit and this is a moment I'm sure he'll never forget congrats yeah great moment for him and his family a guy works so hard and has to wait so long for this to happen and when it does it kind of be overwhelming D you still have to stay locked in on the game but it's great when you can take a minute to just appreciate what you've done and how hard you work to get here this is JJ bade looking for his first first big league hit right here and that one fouled [Applause] off first and second here no outs strike two [Applause] ball one [Applause] there and a ball in two strikes and another ball [Applause] grounder might be two there's one how about that double play sometimes double plays get turned so quickly that you don't really get to appreciate all of the finer details and how these guys execute right there really nice footwork and a good feed to Second was the key to pulling it off and now a chance for Shay langers and a swing in the miss Miss no ball one strike no score yet but a runner at third with two away one and one this one in the dirt and well done to keep it close two outs and now two and one [Applause] this one in the air right field and he can't hang on and they'll score first it's one Z not in time he's safe so he gets two Milestones with that H his first big lead knock and he drives in his first run as well yeah you love to get both of those out of the way with just one swing of the bat and it makes the special moment even more special it's not just an individual accomplishment when you're also driving in a run for your team that's an IT bat he's never going to forget [Applause] man at second here with two away here's the left fielder Seth Brown that one's in there strike one lots of pitches thrown in this first inning and it's kind of that nightmare scenario for starting pitching but you know what it's still early enough he can settle in he can get some length if he just cleans up his mechanics a little bit next off for is downstairs good slider down and in can be so hard to get on plane with you're better off taking that [Applause] pitch way out front for strike [Applause] two two balls two strikes to count with two outs two outs and one in scoring position still two and two after the foul ball and downstairs sack Gill in the OD deck Circle for the a well struck right field Carpenter ring back back towards the wall and out of here his first Homer of the year it's three nothing those are the adats that leave pitchers exhausted he had to throw a lot of pitches and still gave up the long ball that's a bad combo knew what pitch he wanted to hit spit on pitches in this at bat was very patient and it paid [Applause] off two outs nobody on Zack gell getting ready to hit first pitch doesn't find the Zone righty delivers and that is cut on and missed and the count one and two blows the high heat past him that's a strike out the A's with a two-run blast as the A's are on top back after this on the show second inning set to go now here's the Tigers cleanup hitter carry Carpenter all around I think if you asked anyone in this organization who's the best hitter in the lineup they would say him as the Lefty gets to work close but call the ball one and0 well after scoring runs this is where you're looking for that shut down inning get that hot team back in there to swing the [Applause] bats the Lefty the one and another ball Rusty Valentine calling balls and Strikes book something I hear from hitters about Valentine is they know they don't have to protect off the plate too much in two strike counts and that can be a big deal in terms of your confidence and seeing some pitches in that advat and that's in there at the [Applause] knees two balls at a strike here it comes he swings and fouls one off he was a little out front but did a good job keeping the hands back long enough to foul that pitch [Applause] off and they'll do it again two two now [Applause] okay spoils the two strike pitch and he'll see another [Applause] outside and that is ball four it wasn't easy but he earned that walk after a long at bat it's tough after falling behind a hitter two balls and no strikes but now at least he gets a fresh start against a new batter but he needs to get back into the strike zone and start pitching with conviction col P stands in here takes ball one low the T ERS trailing by three here at the top of the second swing in a Miss as he was out [Applause] front and now two balls in a strike two and one and here comes that one fouled off two and two bab and it stays fair lead Runner around second they throw to third he's in [Applause] there col Pete with his first major league hit and this is a moment I'm sure he'll never forget congrats yeah great moment for him and his family a guy works so hard and has to wait so long long for this to happen and when it does can kind of be overwhelming boo you still have to stay locked in on the game but it's great when you can take a minute to just appreciate what you've done and how hard you worked to get here so digging in Spencer [Applause] Tolson outside low ball one [Applause] and that drops in for a [Applause] strike check swing he went too far and it's a strike base runners at second and third here no [Applause] outs on the ground whips it to first that's out number one and a run comes in to score and next up for the Tigers Jace Young [Applause] and immediately pumps in a strike to the left-handed [Applause] hitter late with the swing now next offering upstairs it's a good take the next pitch misses and the count is even two and two one out and a runner at second good job to fight that one [Applause] off man it's second knocks that one away and we'll do it again [Applause] and that's downed away and ball for to a board that's a great if bat he saw a lot of pitches and earned a walk now a great back and forth and that it bad to L off some really close pitches and somehow Boogie found a way to keep the bat on his shoulder right there I'll tell you right now I couldn't have done it Trey Sweeny in the Box here lets that one go for a [Applause] ball and he deals late swing foul to the left Keith at second Young At first one [Applause] gone that pitch Clips the outside corner and the count one and two Short Stop takes the [Applause] ball squirts away from langers and two in scoring position now thanks to that wild pitch with two on and one out you're just hoping you can get a double play ball to get yourself out of the inning but now you've really got some work to do we need a big strike out [Applause] here and that one into air center field Le sizes this one up he's got it R attacks from third the throws offline he's Sav it's three2 well that's a quality at bat right there you know the situation you need something in the air and deep off and that's exactly what he did good pass to the baseball Dylan dingler up now for the [Applause] [Music] Tigers gets the call it's own one man I mean nice job just presenting it to be better than it actually was smoked on the ground a second over to First that ends the inning and they limit the damage so it's two runs on one hit no errors and one man left now to the bottom of the second it's the A's three Tigers two bottom of the inning digging in Tristan gr brisy back to work little Chopper rolls foul righty to the plate now a highfly ball out to left Center Green makes the grab one down batting it the third Bas here's the rookie third baseman fast ball for a strike A's leading by a run bottom half of inning number two to the right side Keith throws the first in time batting n that's Short Stop sh two out SP is empty Jacob Wilson up next for the A's [Applause] the short stop takes a ball in the air pretty deep out to center [Applause] field that is the inning on to the third inning stepping in Parker me and there's one thing on his mind this at bat getting that first hit at the big league level the pitch swings and misses and it's on and [Applause] one swings through that one for strike two two to a guy who's already 0 for one with the punch out the only guy in the lineup with that strike out but you can't get too relaxed you still got to make good pitches to get him out foul ball still o and [Applause] two the pitch swing and a miss no messing around with the pitch calling in that sequence right there four pitches all fast BS yeah and that makes me think that was the plan before the Adat even started if you think you can simply just beat a guy with only your fast ball why throw him anything else until he shows you he can handle it here's Riley green he's over for one right through there for a [Applause] strike the Tigers trailing by a run we're here in the top half of inning number three next one one misses one ball one strike that one ripped right center field and it's a one hopper Off the Wall should be extra bases into second with a double and they've got something Brewing now Riley green with his first major league hit and this is a moment I'm sure he'll never forget congrats yeah great moment for him and his family a guy works so hard and has to wait so long for this to happen and when it does can kind of be overwhelming boo you still have to stay locked in on the game but it's great when you could take a minute to just appreciate what you've done and how hard you worked to get here next is the designated hitter Matt beerling 0 for one with a fly out to Center first pitch misses one to [Applause] know and there's a foul [Applause] ball and a foul ball [Applause] [Music] [Applause] outside and it's two and two green over it second one down [Applause] always he's having a tough time getting a pitch by him as a hitter you feel pretty confident that you're seeing different pitches still able to make some type of [Applause] contact here's a two- two swing and a ball driven pretty well out towards left Center Le pulls it down and there's two gone [Applause] and now carry [Music] Carpenter and he swings and misses at the initial offering they can live up in the zone all game if HS will chase it that's just too much velocity hitters got to look down in the zone and on second two down fou ball [Applause] there swing and a highfly ball out there towards left field and that is that one left for Detroit they're down three to2 back here in the East Bay set for the bottom of the third and now it's going to be Lawrence Butler as he turns on the rubber with that good live on delivers and immediately pumps in a strike to the left-handed hitter next offering in there for a strike oh two now well we call that Keyhole even though it's right there and looks pretty good if he doesn't love it he's not going to swing that early in the count and he'll [Applause] juk swing and a miss had him out front for the strike out he was able to execute the perfect pitch for that situation had been pounding him with fasts and then all of a sudden pulls out the change up and has good enough command to make it competitive tell you what wearing speeds like that to a hitter can be really really effective and right there you can tell that hitter was just overmatched Rooker hands in now and watches strike [Applause] one swing and a miss and it's own and two man he really sells the change up with that arm action and that one is in the dirt and the count is one and two that's a little bit low he's trying to stay down in the zone but the hitter just will not Chase now back in a two- two count he's going to have to go to something else to get him out next pitch is inside and it's a full count he should get a pretty good pitch to hit here with three Hall hitter coming up if he's [Applause] W clobber to right field will back gone his first Homer of the year and they boost their lead it's 4-2 he absolutely crushed that oneall no doubt about that one boo we knew it wasn't coming back well he saw a lot of pitches in this at B and in this 3-2 count he got something he could handle wasn't fooled did a really nice job in approaching and attacking that baseball [Applause] B is empty one away JJ Bay the next to hit and a foul ball part of the order coming through now and with one home run already in this inning they're definitely looking to do some more damage one down base is empty pitch misses there one and one swing and a miss and that's strike two one ball two straight the wine of the pitch swings and misses on the fast ball up in the zone for the strike out definitely made him chase a little bit out of the zone right there I don't think that's a strike if he takes it pretty textbook pitching get ahead in the count get the guy in the Box on his heels and then force him to chase your pitch where he doesn't have much of a chance to do any damage langers batting for the second time and that's strike one swings and blast oneall deep to left Center back there calls it in on the warning track Oakland gets one on this Homer it's now 42 it's Major League Baseball on the show and we're back here's the second basem ke Keith in his rookie season 22 years old and he was a fifth round pick in 2020 here comes a pitch F off foul that misses and now it's even one and one one [Applause] strike ripped on a line no trouble here puts it away for the out and there's one down Spencer to and up next for Detroit Spencer Tolson he's over for one just missed one ball up by two top half of inning number four [Applause] kicks and fires swing and a miss as he was late that [Applause] time bounce to the left side and foul ball [Applause] that one just misses that pitch was pretty borderline at the top of the zone and he's not digging the call out there on the mound clearly pretty frustrated so he's going to have to collect himself a [Applause] little that's to third into the Outfield base hit so they get a man aboard with a one out single Spencer corlon with his first major league hit and this is a moment I'm sure he'll never forget congrats yeah great moment for him and his family a guy works so hard and has to wait so long for this to happen and when it does can kind of be overwhelming boo you still have to stay locked in on the game but it's great when you could take a minute to just appreciate what you've done and how hard you've worked to get here and next to hit for Detroit Jace Young work to walk in his first trip to the plate just off the Inside Edge the one oh just missed man at first one [Music] away inside and that's called to strike one straight at the belt and Fs spoils that one and it remains two and two [Applause] swing the Miss St him out chase the fast up the ladder for strike three pretty simple plan of attack on the mound right there huh yeah nothing but fast balls they just kept putting down the number one and letting it fly I likeed it yeah me too and I'd love to hit against that but of course when you're in the Box you think he's bound to change speeds on you at some point you're just kind of locked up sort of like reverse psychology now at the plate Trey Sweeny a short stop takes the ball Tolson leads off first with two down to the inning up and in and the count is two and0 and a good eye there all I would expect in this count you're taking all the way see if he'll walk you let's see if he gives him anything to hit here and there's Ball Four not what he wanted to do there boo that keeps this inning alive and gives this offense a good chance to cut into their deficit now here's the Detroit catcher Dylan dingler rolled out to second in his first at that one finds the Zone that's strike one two outs the base runners at first and [Applause] second oh he doesn't get the call and one and one really close pitch down around the knees there and you could see him asking where it missed probably doesn't agree but it appears he's ready to move on to the next pitch kick andand and now the count is [Applause] even this one popped up B ground first Bas side gray makes a nice running catch tiger strand a pair they Trail it here 4-2 ready to go botom four so here's Brown at the pl brisy back to work that one pushed foul out of play off to the left and the o1 and that one hammered in one hops Off the Wall should be extra bases into second easily with a lead off double could have Tim it up any better than that got a good pitch to drive stayed short with his b path to the ball and caught it out front and he stayed long in his follow through that's how you split the Gap and that's pretty much a double every time digging in for Oakland Zack gell for one he struck out swinging last [Applause] time that's a bullet but it goes foul the 01 that one missed activity in the bullpen for Detroit time Madden getting loose for AJ hinch runner in scoring position nobody out we're here in the bottom of the fourth the one- one is fouled off and the righty deals he's been trying to tease the Zone with that slider but these hitters have showed patience not going outside the strike zone [Music] that one misses and a full [Applause] countdown that's foul off to the right side keeps the AV [Applause] [Music] going swings and misses not what you're looking for after the lead off double a strike out and there's one away and here comes the Tigers man to the mound pitching change coming B brisy out of the game and as he heads off we'll step aside for a minute back with a new pitcher after this [Applause] break picture for the Tigers time Madden at this part of the ball game we're talking about middle Innings and you need a little length out of this arm coming out of the bullpen we'll see just how many outs he's able to give his skipper so up next Tristan gray flyed to left his first [Applause] J that one off the mark and that's ball one right through there for a [Applause] strike next offering in there for a strike it's a ball in two strikes [Applause] [Music] [Applause] right-handed relever that misses and that's ball two man it's second Pitch misses inside and that's ball three he never moved cuz he never had time to but that kind of velocity you'd prefer that pitcher work away sharp grounder that's through for a base hit around third he scores and they're up by three so he gets two Milestones with that hit his first big league knock and he drives in his first run as well yeah you love to get both of those out of the way with just one swing of the bat and it makes the special moment even more special it's not just an individual accomplishment when you're also driving in a run for your team that's an it bad he's never going to forget one gone runner at first here's the third basem over for one so far Madden checks over to First and he's back and that one fouled off R Runner the goal he swings and fouls one [Applause] off and the pitch that one missing inside tough to take a two- strike change up they just missed I think it frozen the onew right back to the mound could be an easy two fires to Second for one and it's a double play and the inning but they pick up one run on the RBI single it's now 52 you're watching Major League Baseball on the show ready now for the fifth inning and here's the tiger lead off man Parker Meadows the pitch fast ball for a strike action in the pen down there Joey Estus the rookie right-hander is getting loose number 40 getting cranked up as well that one down the line and that's just foul and now the Lefty popped up to the left into foul ground puts it away for the [Applause] out the left number 31 Riley now it's going to be Riley green one for two and a foul ball the 01 and a foul ball and the next pitch is way outside the Tigers trailing by three and we're at the top of the fifth [Applause] next pitch misses Two bows two strikes good eye in that spot [Applause] okay back to work 3-2 now worm burner into the outfield for a knock so man aboard now with one away everything came together for him really nice job staying up the Middle with his approach he didn't try to do too much with just shot it through the infield manager out of the Dugout now and it looks like we'll see a change on the mound number 38 gives way and not a great performance but he leaves with a big lead new arm when we get back so they bring on the veteran Scott Alexander this is his first appearance of the [Applause] season Matt verling up now for the [Applause] Tigers that misses and that is ball one green stands at first with one [Applause] out high in the air out to R settles under it nabs [Applause] it and next will be the tiger cleanup hitter carry carpenter carpenter [Applause] in there for a strike at the bottom of the zone [Applause] that one misses and it's one and two wouldn't chase that time he goes down looking Tigers leave one and the deficit remains 52 ready to go for the last half of the inning here's the short stop at the play Jacob Wilson and the pitch and a breaking ball drops in for a strike hit on the ground to the right side Tolson takes it himself and the lead off hitter retired in the fifth now the designated hit L Butler here's Oakland's DH Lawrence Butler a strike out and a walk and and the pitch a little bit low ball one next offering is in for a strike Bas is empty one away last half of inning number five and another ball got him looking and he didn't like the call frustrating into the atat for the hitter and I'm sure that's going to sit on him for a little while you want to be ready to hit the fast ball sometimes you can overthink things and I think that was the case right [Applause] there and it finds its way back through for a hit so a two out Knock keeps the inning alive and his hot hitting continues they kept him in the yard that time but all he's doing now is passing the Baton and everything seems to get started around this guy so man of board JJ B up next for the A's [Applause] inside corner that's a strike one1 the two- hole hitter showing so much versatility understanding the situation gets on base with two out to bring possibly the best hitters in this lineup up to the plate in this inning swing and a ball hit out towards left center field and and it falls so that's two straight two out hits JJ B with his first major league hit and this is a moment I'm sure he'll never forget congrats yeah great moment for him and his family a guy works so hard and has to wait so long for this to happen and when it does can kind of be overwhelming Bo you still have to stay locked in on the game but it's great when you could take a minute to just appreciate what you've done and how hard you worked to get here so here's the cleanup hitter Shay langers known for his rocket arm behind the plate and the first pitch misses for ball [Applause] One Two on Two Out outs just missed could be some action here on this next pitch couple Runners on probably a challenge pitch [Applause] coming that one to first it's through for hit around third the throw in it's offline the Run comes in behind in the cow you've got to come into the zone and then guys have a better chance of hitting the ball hard like he did right [Applause] there two gone with Runners at the corners now the left fielder Seth Brown he's already homered here in this one and immediately pumps in a strike to the left-handed hitter [Applause] two outs [Applause] inside now one finds a corner now one and two well he went inside a couple of times and now outside h's not exactly sure where to look for this next pitch got him swinging and that'll keep more runs from coming in inning over they get a run out three hits no errors and two men left on we're through five it's the A6 Tigers [Applause] two all set for the top of the six leading off Colt Heath the pitch and it goes just [Applause] foul left-and hitter Waits towards first gr and he Tak it himself for the out now batt the first Spencer tol and next up for the Tigers Spencer [Applause] Tolson that pitch in for a strike going one meanwhile activity in the bullpen Joey Estus appears to be getting ready and I'm sure he's feeling some nerves this would be his major league [Applause] debut swings through it for the K pulled the string of the change up he's locked in at the plate when he's using the whole field he was out front there just needs the ball travel a little more and his timing will be back on track good pitch for the [Applause] strikeout young up to hit for the third time as he lays off inside ball [Applause] one foul ball two down dolman on and another ball backto back breaking pitches away you get the feeling as a hitter that the pitcher is afraid of you that he doesn't want to challenge you so I think the confidence level is raised right here left hand batter Waits [Applause] they try to get him to chase on a slider down and Away the Athletics leading by four and we're in the top half of the six swing and a pop up in foul ground and that is that three up three down for him there 678 D in the bottom of the six it's the A6 Tigers two back in Oakland the batter [Applause] zck the wind in the pitch that's outside ball one and that one Clips the corner [Applause] and that's iner goes down swinging for the strike out couldn't hit the fast ball at the knees third time he struck out and definitely an individual performance you want to flush he just hasn't very comfortable up there just one of those days but when you're still winning the ball game at least you can focus on doing your part to maintain that lead and getting that W gray the next to hit takes ball [Applause] one swing and a miss strike one one ball one strike swings and misses one and two one and two wouldn't chase that time B is empty one away here in the bottom of the six soft contact in the air nice grab that swing right there tells me he's seeing the ball pretty well I know it didn't produce a hit but he made Solid contact and that's all you're looking to do time you're two outs Bas is empty now the third baseman yeah there's the strike go ball one [Applause] strike on the ground to third Finds Its way through base hit now he turns and heads for second the throw in and he'll make it to Second basee with two gone one man in scoring position with two away Jacob Wilson now at the plate not close with that one and that's ball [Applause] one man on second two down and that's in there at the knees for a [Applause] strike here's the pitch runner on the Move ball misses throw to third he's safe in this game you got to take what the other team is giving you and right there they were giv him a steal a third base didn't check his lead catcher doesn't throw very well so you got to take that back get your team that much closer to scoring a run [Applause] two outs swinging a foul straight back right-hander kick steals struck Him Out Swinging couldn't catch up to the heater no runs one hit no errors and a man left seventh inning coming up it's the A6 Tigers two and welcome back to the ballp part and the batter will be the short stop Trey Sweeny the Tigers in Striking Distance but have some work to do Bo it starts with the lad off man need a good and bad out of him right here the pitch swing and a ball popped up and there's one down now the catcher Dylan dingler and next to hit for Detroit Dylan dingler Alexander in his seventh season 34-year-old vet he joined the team as a free [Applause] agent and first off ring is fouled [Applause] off and there's a ball one one the Tigers down by four here in the top half of inning number seven on the ground to short Wilson slings to First gets the catcher by a step now the Parker Meadows Parker Meadows up now for the Tigers Outfield playing pretty [Applause] shallow that one finds the zone and it's O and one [Applause] and misses inside and that's outside and it's two and one pretty easy to give up on that pitch right there started on the edge of the plate with the spin you know it's going to finish well off the plate two down nobody on in there at the knees two and two [Applause] that one back up the middle and it gets through and that extends the inning Parker meow with his first major league hit and this is a moment I'm sure he'll never forget congrats yeah great moment for him and his family a guy works so hard and has to wait so long for this to happen and when it does it kind of be overwhelming boo you still have to stay locked in on the game but it's great when you could take a minute to just appreciate what you've done and how hard you work to get here two outs runner at first and up next for Detroit Riley green first offering and it just misses he might want to steal second in this spot but he's dealing with a catcher that has one of the best pop times in the game he needs to pick his spot very wisely this to third they take the force out third out and that ends the frame one left for Detroit they still Trail it here it's [Music] 6-2 bottom of the seventh striding to the plate now for Oakland Lawrence Butler the right hander back to work there's the strike movement in the bullpen will vest getting loose for AJ hinch Holton a left-hander also [Music] throwing he one on the inside corner for a strike [Applause] swings and misses struck him out well that bat seemed to be over as soon as it started three pitch strike out you got to be better at the plate right there at least to foul something off extend that at back Brent Rooker will hit next three for three two singles and a [Applause] homer right through there for a strike not sure if he was expected for the pitcher to come right at him but he got a nice cookie there and just watched it the entire way the W to kick the pitch and it's skips into [Applause] dirt and a big swing and a miss he got away with one there but he knows he can't go into that spot very often against a guy like this one and two now going on belted green ranges back on it g another Homer his second home run of the game and they add on it's 72 that's a swing that'll boost the win probability for sure [Applause] looks like this guy was looking out over the plate but he was ready to turn on the inside fast so direct to the pitch absolutely blasted out of this [Applause] ballpark Le at the plate now that's ball one 10 down the left field line could be extra bases round first digging for two the throw in second in safely it's a double and his second hit that was a thing of beauty he may have been a little behind the pitch but by getting that Barrel Into The Hitting Zone early on in his swing he was able to meet it and still shoot a line drive down the line and left the new pitcher in the game Ricky Vasco and with the big deficit on the scoreboard he almost has to just put that out of his mind every outing matters for relievers in their numbers but I think it's tough to get up for this type of appearance the same way you would for one in a close game and now Shay langers [Applause] righty delivers and that's in for a [Applause] strike down to the dirt swinging a Miss in time for the second out good job to clean it up after the drop third strike perfectly executed 126 curveball right there and with that kind of break if you can drop it in below the Zone like that it's going to look like a strike the entire way coming in and then just disappear so hard to get under the ball unless you're really gearing up for it and you might need a pitching wedge Brown stands in with two away as he takes a ball one run acrossing the frame so far here the bottom of the seven swing and a miss and the count even at one filthy change up right there just pulled the string got the back going to soon at strike [Applause] two and a swing and a miss they limit the damage here but the solo shot stretches their lead even further it's now a 72 ball game you're watching Major League Baseball on the show welcome back in a new arm of the mound to start the E TJ McFarland and he comes on here for the first time this season and I'm sure there's some nerves involved in that so we'll see how he settles in now Matt beerling 0 for three with three fly outs [Applause] mattl and he deals in the air right field on the Move pulls it in on the run and there's one down really nice job to get your first down of the ball game and next will be the cleanup hitter carry [Applause] Carpenter on the ground right side throws the first in time up next to the Tigers the second Bas Colts ke two outs Bas is empty and next up for the Tigers Colt Kei one for [Applause] three that misses and it's w to know the Athletics ABS a bullpen action Joey Estus appears to be getting loose and a pitch and he can't make the play but they get the out of first and that'll do it for the [Applause] inning back here in the East Bay now it's the second baseman Z gill G go baby let's go here the right hter back to work and the first pitch misses for ball [Applause] one and another ball two wouldn't chase that [Applause] time and it's ball for Miss down low definitely lost the handle during that sequence four pitches walk and that last one didn't even threaten The Zone might want to go talk to him and it first next up for the A's Tristan [Applause] gray and that one pulled [Applause] foul gell gets his lead at first with nobody out good eye right there so a foul ball makes it one and two got him swinging and the runner holds well I don't think there's a hitter alive that hasn't at some point succumb to that pitch right there it just looks like it's in the zone the entire way then the Top Spin and gravity take over and the blink of an eye and it's just such a tough pitch to lay off of number 12 at the plate and takes High there this is one of those situations defensively where you can't try to do too much you got to make sure that you feel the ball cleanly and get one out first it's going to be tough to get two with this kind of speed in the Batters box and the right-hander deals next pitch in for a strike and it's one and [Applause] one at the belt and fires on the ground to short could be two to First and now to gone good f and sinking action of that change up got that hitter to roll [Applause] over Jacob Wilson up next for the [Applause] ace and first off ring is fouled off ball one there one one strike runner at second two down here the bottom half of the eighth [Applause] inning that one fouled [Applause] off the pitch ground ball right side oh great grab on the dive on the money nice play that was a great job of doing the math he had the perfect angle diving stop completes the play and that ends the [Applause] inning all set to start the ninth in this one and here's the first baseman Spencer tolon here comes a pitch that one called a strike one one [Applause] the other way puts it away for the out now he's two outs away and next to hit for Detroit Jace [Applause] Young ball one no strikes and another ball the A's leading by five here the top of the N next pitch is downstairs and there's the automatic [Applause] inside Ball Four second walk of the game for him and he's been really patient at the play a game plan that he's sticking to he's just not going outside of what he's looking for up there run on at first with one gone Trey Sweeney up now for the [Applause] Tigers right down to shoot going one there it was o oh here it is hit it he gets a take gets a head the count and that drops in for a strike all right now he may have not liked either of those first two pitches or agreed with the umpire's calls but at this point he's going to have to bear down and be ready to hit anything close to the Zone Fly ball center field and it falls lead Runner makes the turn at second and now a wide throw to third now Trey Sweden with his first first major league hit and this is a moment I'm sure he'll never forget congrats yeah great moment for him and his family a guy works so hard and has to wait so long for this to happen and when it does can kind of be overwhelming boo you still have to stay locked in on the game but it's great when you could take a minute to just appreciate what you've done and how hard you worked to get here now here's the Detroit catcher Dylan dingler right through there for a [Applause] strike Young on third Sweeney over at first so one [Applause] away fought off foul and a pitch and that just misses keeps the back going with a foul ball Lefty out of the stretch Runners at first and third ground ball to the right side and foul ball fights that one away still one and two first and third one down bouns it off still one and two kicks sandal gets a piece there we'll do it again hammers that one deep left field and forget it he sends it out of here his first Homer of the year and they close the gap it's 75 this game just got a little more interesting with that home run well you can see he was out front just a little bit maybe didn't recognize the ch up earlier but he got the bat head to it hooked it down the line and was able to keep it fair for a long home run really impressive on the pitch now for Oakland Mason Miller a chance at his first save of the Year partner Meadows up now for the Tigers just off the outside edge one and0 one down base is empty and there's a strike one one so a foul ball makes it one and [Music] [Applause] two the pitch struck him out looking with the off speed stun well he's going to have some thinking to do when he leaves the ballpark after this one that was his third strike out and this one looking obviously so he's been a little overmatched he's got to find a way just to be more competitive up there at the plate so last chance for the Tigers and up next for Detroit Riley green out in front with the swing and that is strike one the wine of the pitch pulled down the line this one hammered but it's foul that's a really good pass of the ball right there just a little bit too quick got to find a way just let travel I care more puts it in the air out towards left Center and now'll do it nice work out of the bll for that first MLB win D they turn when they didn't have the lead he kept things steady and he's rewarded with the w a 75 final score in this one Oakland Victorious for Chris Singleton and our entire crew here at MLB the Show thanks for stopping by I'm John chambie talk to you soon [Applause]
