🔴LIVE NOW! Boston Red Sox vs. Arizona Diamondbacks - Aug 24, 2024 MLB Full Game - MLB 24 EN VIVO

coming up on the first pitch and today's starting pitcher Cooper Criswell and singy it's Unique these days but he's more of a pitch to contact type of guy yeah boo he doesn't rely too heavily on the strike out he knows he needs to miss barrels get some soft contact let the defense do work behind him and I think a guy like that can keep a good Tempo don't give hitters time to adjust or think they can move through a ball game and you look up they're in line for a quality start we'll see what he's got this one tapped at the plate but it's a foul ball thir Cho to Third Des gets it to first one out in the top of the first time to take a look at the Diamondbacks lineup and perhaps part of the game plan is to get into the bullpen as early as possible they're facing a staff that's blown a lot of games in the later Innings boan his hitters you're aware of that but but you don't want to become too relaxed in wait too late in the ball game because you never know what could happen on any given day but with that said even if you fall behind early you've got a lot of confidence that this game will not be over until that final [Applause] out one down base is empty and he lays down a bun and he grabs it foul and a pitch foul ball it stays nothing in two one out base is empty swing and a miss struck him out two down he's really good hitting the baseball the other way so credit the pitcher for having him out in front of that pitch clearly he had him full Jack Peterson stands in now looks at that one inside two down nobody on outside low and it's two and0 and [Applause] downstairs let's see if he gives him anything to hit here that's in there there three and one in there at the knees Full Count outside and that is ball four prob he tried to nibble right there and just missed his spot off now he has somebody to worry about over at first two outs runner at first Josh Bell stands in now for the Diamondbacks Peterson off the First with two away swing in a Miss nice change up 02 [Applause] yeah with two strikes here you really want to miss outside the Zone with that breaking ball and the righthander deals on the ground the first Casas he takes it himself to the bag and that'll do it one left for Arizona now the Red Sox will get their shot no score you're watching Major League Baseball exclusively on the show back here at Fenway Park pitching in our game today Jordan Montgomery and Chris he's a guy that gets better when things get tough well you know this guy wants to be better than that I mean the ra is bloated he understands that he's got to put his team in a better position to win ball games and at this point you have to forget about your own individual stats and you have to go out there and attack and try to get that W and if you do that you'll look up and most likely that ra will have dropped over time and yes he did that's a swing according to Earl [Applause] hris and the pitch swing and a miss he was late strike two no ball two strik and he'll juk got him and one gone a small side of relief right there I mean just to keep that speed off the base pass it's not just the it's other guys that have to think about it from your infielders have to think about that Runner potentially stealing but also be in position to make a play as an outfielder you're thinking about a base hit to the Outfield I got to get to it quickly to try to keep this guy from taking an extra base so I think everyone just a little more relaxed that he didn't reach base Willer ofu in the box with one away as he takes ball one [Applause] to the right side steps on first for the out batting third take a look at the lineup we could be in for a power showcase today with the wind blowing out a lot of lift and separate Chris we know hitters are in this era definitely trying to hit the ball in the air regardless of the conditions but I think even a little more so there's margin for error if you can get the ball up in the air so you know you'll see at times I'm sure with two strikes what looks like a half swing that can get out of the ballpark with a hitter who's got decent [Applause] pop oh he doesn't get the call and that's ball two [Applause] there's a strike in today's game not that many fast ball counts but hitters still in the back of their minds they're looking for one two change up call right there excellent pitch selection to go [Applause] with sharp grounder that's through for a base hit and that keeps the inning alive [Applause] that is four the third B man aboard and here is des de the babyfaced Assassin and immediately pumps in a strike to the left-handed [Applause] [Music] hitter two outs swing in a miss that strike two filthy change up right there just pulled the string got it by him for the K one left for the Red Sox scoreless after one second inning set to go now the left fielder Haven Smith hav Smith now the right hander ready to go still no score that's to third lays out but he can't squeeze it not in time he's safe [Applause] Adrien Delo stands in now for the Diamondbacks kind of a throwback no batting gloves nice curveball for a strike Chiswell measures 6 F 6 in 200 lb he joined the team as a free [Applause] agent swing and a miss and that strike two Woody Keller making the calls behind home for us today and Bo something to keep an eye on is how pitchers utilize the top part of the strike zone you see a lot more of that in today's game with pitchers going up there with hard stuff Keller definitely an Umpire that isn't afraid to call strikes of in that part of the strike zone SS and misses struck him out well you rarely ever see three curve balls in a row because that's one of those pitches that's most effective when you haven't seen it recently you might see three Sliders in a row but right there was steing that curveball and figured he could finish with that pitch aeno Suarez up to the plate [Applause] now that's in there going one [Applause] [Applause] and a swinging to miss that misses the zone now one and two well that's kind of what you expected an 02 count excellent job of the hitter to have the plate discipline to lay off of that pitch ball two in the dirt two ball two strik and the runner stays where he is man it first one away into the mid strike three well interesting he's looking very comfortable out of the stretch after giv up the lead off single back to back strikeout so hav been able to move that runner up get him in scoring position and try to have a better chance of scoring I tell you job so far on the mound he just needs one more out here's Luis [Applause] goret line drive and that should be extra bases and that rolls into the corner around third the relay throw and he's out KN down and that ends the inning textbook defensive execution right there outfielder hits the cut off man relay throw to the plate perfect strike and a great way to end the [Applause] inning bottom half of inning number two now here's the Red Sox DH Rob ref Snider as the Lefty gets to work right through there for a strike [Applause] kicks and that one's in there o and two quickly into an 02 count both pitches were down in the zone I think you set your sights a little bit higher because you'll have a tendency to chase if you look down in that area next pitch misses outside and the count one and [Applause] two right side Gorman whips it to first lead off man retired here in the second that's what a gooder designed to do get a guy to run over a little bit hit the ball on the ground kill some worms while you're at it masataka Yoshida up next for the Red Sox in the air fairly deep to right field Carrol moves towards it caral it and there's two away the C Conor wall up next for the Red Sox it's amazing we get a chance to talk to a lot of opposing managers this guy scares managers on the other team as much as anyone and he gets to fly beneath the radar with the other more recognizable names in this lineup and it's fou away two out Bas is [Applause] empty outside low ball one and there's the ball it's a good take the pinch this one popped up right side settles under this one he's there he's got it and that ends the inning nothing doing for Boston we'll move to the third with no score top half of the third inning and the batter now Heraldo Pomo Heraldo Pomo Chiswell back to work that Clips a corner and a foul [Applause] ball the 02 swing and a miss St him out he swung over top of the curveball well I don't think there's a hitter alive that hasn't at some point SU that pitch right there it just looks like it's in the zone the entire way and then the Top Spin and gravity take over in the blink of an eye and just such a tough pitch to lay off of so the batting order turns over this is Corbin Carroll and ball one to the right fielder 10 the W to kick the pitch close one does it get the call now two and0 and another ball well I would expect in this three count you're taking all the way see if they'll walk [Applause] you and there's a strike top of the third no score 3-1 and he couldn't come up with it pretty easy walk right there there last pitch wasn't even much to think about one gone runner at first Jake McCarthy the next to hit old for one he struck out swinging last time outside and it's one and this is one of those situations defensively where you can't try to do too much you got to make sure that you f the ball cleanly and get one out first it's going to be tough to get two with this kind of speed in the batter box here's the pitch run around the goal that's in for a strike save it's second and that was not close you know what I like the aggressiveness right there it looks like it's going to be tough to score in this one really good pitching so far so why not try to put some pressure on him and see if he can steal the B get in scoring position Carol the runner at second with one [Applause] away bounc the middle Rafaela throws the first in time not a bad outcome in that spot the runner moves up to Third and now they have a chance to drive in the go-ahead run it's not a knock but at the end of the day it's a good at bat and Jack Peterson stands in work to walk in his first trip to the [Applause] plate that one drilled left field Fair ball and they'll score first it's one ZIP throws to second he's in safely at second and a run comes in to score nice job of driving that pitch the other way on a line you know hitters they take so many reps in the cages working on going to the opposite field and it doesn't always translate into the game but right there it did and he did it perfectly man at second here with two away Josh Bell at the plate now grounded out his first time missed with a change up and that's ball one the strategy of winning a ball game when you could make that pitcher work a little more expose himself by throwing pitches that can be the key to winning perhaps later on so good job of extending this inning getting a knock with two outs to bring the number four hole hit her up at the belt and fires swinging a foul straight back and it's second swing in a miss that one in the [Applause] dirt and that's [Applause] outside that to right auu moving back for this one he's got it and that'll do it but a run will score in the Inning on this RBI double it's now one [Music] nothing bottom of the inning Jo stepping in for Boston David [Music] Hamilton and here it comes up the middle goret no play that's an infield single boo that's staying within his game right there I mean this Speedster gets the infield single and now he's on base to possibly do some damage I love seeing what guys like this can do to disrupt the game once they get in a position to do [Applause] so and fouled off nobody out runner at [Applause] first oh and two now as he swings through it with two strikes may see some movement over there at first base trying to stay out of the double play right here the pitch check swing now a look down to First ah and he punches him out he went around now batting Jaren Durant struck out swinging leading off the bottom of the first this is kind of a tough matchup as a left-handed hitter facing a left-handed pitcher what you tell yourself is I want to stay Square to the plate try to hit the ball over the short Stop's head and there's the strike snap throw to first away tying run is at first here in the last half of the [Applause] third slow ground ball to the right side and he grabs it in foul ground going two now and ball [Music] one run around the move ball misses safe it's second and he easily steals the [Applause] bag spoils that one and it remains two and two runner at second here one gone that one out to right got it nice grab Runner tags and goes to third now back right will now the number two hitter Willer ofu grounded out his first time I know we're still early in the stages of this game but this bat has the potential of being a Difference Maker you've got to stay calm in the Box strike right there [Applause] here L drive that's a base hit the tie run is in to score from third you're TI at one well he gets it done in a big spot to get the run across I can watch base hits like that one all day long and so could every hitting coach in the league just a nice line drive into center field and now they've got some speed on first so we'll see if they try to get him into motion two outs runner on first runner on the goal p in for a strike th save that's a stolen [Applause] base auu on it second with two [Applause] down off the mark there and that's ball one [Applause] swing and a lineer foul off to the [Applause] right and the pitch fights that one away still one and [Applause] two foul off the plate they'll do it again [Applause] they on second two down two balls two strikes and that one is inside really good take especially with two strikes rafeld Des the kind of bat that can make a big impact if they can keep it going here [Applause] two outs and a swing in a miss and that's that so they pick up a run on two hits no errors and a man left on to inning number four all tied 1-1 back now at ven start to the fourth here's the left fielder paven smithi the line of the pitch and immediately pumps in a strike to the left-handed hitter well he's been incredibly efficient in this one first pitch strike percentage over 70% that's well above League average and that's what's allowed him to pitch well up into this point righty delivers pitch misses outside and the count two and one that one is blasted left field towards the monster leaps at the wall but can't pull it in and that's a lead off double well that was one of those high percentage Advantage counts where batting averages are just so much higher showed off some really nice Oppo pop with that swing and just couldn't get it over the fence but I absolutely lost everything about that approach in the mechanics right there go ahead run on base Adrien del Castillo now at the plate three pitch strikeout last time up got to put up more of a fight in this one misses off the plate one and0 no outs runner on [Applause] second way outside two and0 [Applause] [Applause] and it's second next pitch in for a strike and the counts even a two got him looking and he did not like the call heio Suarez up to hit down his first in Bat was a strike [Applause] out just [Applause] missed that catches the corner generally second third time through the lineup you want to be able to lean on those secondary pitches and command them looks like he's doing a nice job of it the knees and it's one and two bounc to the right and it's through for a hit into third now so Runners at the corners and one out not much to this one other than just a willingness to go the other way put the ball in play that's a team to bat right there nice job of staying back and letting the ball get deep one away Runners at first and third here's the second basem Luis goret doubled his first time up in the dirt but kept close runers stay put that's ball one the last thing he wants is to hit the ball on the ground but I wouldn't expect many pitches up in the zone they'll be pitching for a double play in this spot on the ground could be two Rafaela over to Second and that's two got the B to hit it exactly where he wanted that textbook 643 double play gets out of the jam and back in the dugout ready to go for the last half of the inning now it's Des at the play and he deal in for a strike and it's old and one well he's looking great so far it helps when over 80% of your first pitches are strikes he might be able to go the distance if he keeps this up to the right side goret on to first lead off hitter retired in four now the designated hitter ra refer so now the DH spot Rob ref Snider rolled out to second in his first at [Applause] bat and that's outside Ball wall one ball no strike [Applause] chase that [Applause] time RI but it curls [Applause] foul gets the outside corner with that one line to Second snagged on the bounce tosses to First already two gone here in the home four left number s Masa have the left fielder masataka Yoshida flyed to right his first time fast ball for a strike it's 0 and one all tied up we're here in the bottom of the four oh he doesn't get the call and it's one and one good spot there but didn't get the strike at the knees and doesn't seem too convinced by the call out there in the mound as he tries to get a better sense of the Umpire Strike Zone here's a 1-1 fought off [Applause] foul left hand batter weights swing and a miss got him to go up the ladder for the K down in order go the Red Sox score remains tied [Applause] 1-1 all set for the start of the inning at the pl haraldo Pomo hero Chiswell back to work foul ball there hero measures 6' 2 in 24 years old and he was born in the Dominican Republic and that's just [Applause] foul this Ball's chopped to the ground Zips it across one away here in the [Applause] fifth so up next Corbin Caroll he's over one on the ground to Third Des throws on to first two up two down McCarthy next to hit for Arizona Jake [Applause] McCarthy well on the mound very efficient able to produce an outcome it seems like within the third or fourth pitch of just about every atat swing and a miss this game has been so tight feels like the next team to score will win it good eye in that spot two down nobody on here we're at the top of the fif swing and a ball hit out towards left center field makes the grab on the run and that is that halfway home all even one a piece we head to the bottom of the fifth and here is Conor W the here comes a pitch up the middle sneaks through Bas H so a man on base to start the inning now now it's the second BAS David Hamilton [Applause] [Music] Hamilton and that one fouled off W aboard here at first with nobody out now snap throw to first and he's just back in OH Close play that Clips the [Applause] corner definitely got the hitter conscious of the pitch inside really think the outer half is [Applause] open not even close there can to count one and two runner at first with no outs [Applause] here got him swinging and Chris that's a way to neutralize his speed by keeping him off Bas and the defense breathes a sigh relief because he puts pressure on everyone if he can put the ball in play but that's how you do it keep him off balance get him out of there and deal with the next guy so digging in sedan rafhaela struck out swinging his first time to third oh great stop to his knee the throw there's one what a double play that was inning over poetry in motion there as the second basem turns the double play nice throw to first and that's the way to end the inning new inning getting started and now Jack Peterson as he turns on the rubber here with that good live arm delivers outside low and it's w to know well a mistake right here could untie this ball game if you're the pitcher out there you just want to be a little more cautious and another ball well usually a high level of confidence when you're facing a young pitcher out there on the mound in this situation ahead 2 has put himself in a really good spot just [Applause] missed and that drops in for a strike 31 the wine in the pitch ripped to Third and picked on a hop throws the first leadoff man retired in the six up next to the D the first Le here's Josh [Applause] Bell on the ground right side and he handles it himself for the out now Smith now up next for Arizona paven Smith [Applause] and the first pitch misses for ball one two down dolman on pulled hard but it's a foul ball the pitch bounce to third whips it to Casas and Arizona is set down one two three so no runs no hits no errors and no one left top of the order du up in the home half of the six all tied 1-1 and we're back here at Fenway Park bottom of the six and now here's a speed threat outfielder Jaren [Applause] the pitch there's a strike you know these Red Sox as this game goes on have to be more disciplined at the plate they've been chasing pitches outside the Zone all game and it's led to some frustrating moments they've been fol quite a bit today SS it to first one away bottom of the six now the right will Willer aru Will hit next picked up an RBI in his lasted bat still their only run of the game so far that one the other way Pomo whips it to first on the run and a couple of quick outs impressive backand stop but he had a little trouble getting rid of it and had to take that extra step which could have cost him but good job to make sure he got a good handle on it and he got off good strong throw to still get the out Tristan cases up next for the Red Sox one for two misses just off the outside edge I think that was a strike two outs that one off the mark two balls no strikes two balls no strikes [Applause] in there for a strike at the bottom of the zone that curveball has been a big pitch for him today he's been able to get ahead in the count with it he's also been able to use it to put guys away next offering is foul back all tied up here in the bottom of the six [Applause] [Applause] kicks and fires and a foul ball he stays alive he hasn't gotten the result yet but he's got to feel pretty confident three foul balls in a row he's right on this pitcher missed with a change up three and two now this guy's really battling up there as if his run is the game winning run I love his tenacity left hand hitter weit fouled off again and it remains three and [Applause] two the pitch swinging a foul ball at the plate they'll do it [Applause] again good play to appearance there able to take the walk that's a great ifat he saw a lot of pitches and earned a walk well he earned his trip to first right there it's not easy laying off pitches that just missed the Zone like that and it's a real discipline as well he's put a lot of work into that aspect of his game and it paid off right there de the batter now as he swings and misses for strike one good pitch right there anytime you can get one by a bat of this caliber especially with Runners on it's got to give you some confidence out there on M that you can win this battle at the belt and fires Now One [Applause] Missed just missed Rob ref Snider up next 3-1 now on a line B throw in holds the lead runner at second two on now with you away just so sound in his mechanics hits against a firm front side and the hands just continue to carry through the middle of the [Music] field Rob ref Snider up next for the Red Sox right through there for a strike no ball [Applause] [Applause] right that's a base hit Here Comes kasus Around third fires to the plate but it's offline he will score couple of singles back to back I can hear the phrase short to it long through it and that's a great example of it right there got the Barrel in The Hitting Zone early squired it up with the well time swing and Away with a beautiful Line Drive in the center field and next for the Red Sox masataka Yoshida hit on the ground to the right side Bell steps on the bag that ends the inning and they limit the damage but they pick up one run on the RBI single and this is now now a 2-1 ball game back after this on the show back in Boston and here's the catcher Adrien del Castillo and a pitch and a breaking ball drops in for a strike double barreled action in the bullpen Josh winkowski up and loosening in the pen Weiser also throwing looking to get the tying run on base this one drien deep way back there and it's gone we are tied that was blasted to the moon and we have a tie ball game it's 22 he absolutely crushed that one no doubt about that one boo we knew it wasn't coming back let's break out the stat cast numbers in singy it tells us this home run was projected at more than 450 ft yeah and not many players can hit home runs as far as this one that's a special feeling and I'm sure he was giggling a little bit as he was jogging around the bases that was one heck of a swing he put on the baseball and now Alex cor is out of the Dugout and he will make a move for the bullpen Cooper Criswell gives way and it's a tie ball game as he heads for The Dugout back with a new arm after a quick break Chris Martin gets the call from the pen he's averaging more than one hit allow per inning pitch this season that's not where you want to be at all so we'll see how he does here so it's all tied up thanks to the Home Run next to hit aeno Suarez that one finds the Zone [Applause] one nobody on nobody out here in the top half of inning number seven strike two gets a piece there we'll do it again here's the 02 on the ground right side casus takes it to the bag that's the first out the top of the seven the batter now it's going to be Luis gor that's in there going one line drive base hit so they get a man aboard with a one out single well a swing like that can help you come out of the struggle we saw the numbers coming into the ball game but all he's trying to do at this point is help his team [Applause] win man at first with one gone stepping in Heraldo [Applause] Pomo just missed rander kick deals no the short stop takes the ball play umpires try to tighten things up a little bit a little bit low to lay off that pitch down Corbin Carroll waiting to hit for the DS one away tie game goahead Run stands at first next offering is in for a strike on this count Runner not known for a speed but I think you got to put him in motion try to avoid a double play here into center field that'll fall for a hit and the goahead run into scoring position one away well patience and discipline paid off right there as he got into an advantage count everything was on time and fluid in that swing got a pitch he could get the barrel on and lined it into center for the knock those always feel good a chance now to take the lead and at this point in the game that could be a DE run so back to the top of the Arizona lineup here's the Diamondbacks leadoff hitter Corin Carol and a good eye there all eyes on the double play ball in this spot no better way to get out of this inning next offering in there for a strike that's strike one and fouled off one out the go-ahead run is at second and that just misses man oh man I don't know how you take that pitch that's as close as it [Applause] gets swing and a miss that's a strike out gasted right by him nice work there to get the strike out and that's a big second out I'll tell you this home crowd will be fired up they can get out of this and leave that go-ahead run stranded in scoring position this is a big moment in this game Jake McCarthy stands in now for the Diamondbacks first pitch misses [Applause] this one high in the air to left Center Yoshida sizes this one up makes the play and it's out number three but this clutch home run gets us even again two two game we're back in a new pitcher here to start the bottom of the seven Brandon fat and compared to a lot of other relievers strikeouts have not been a big weapon for him this year so the defense should be active here's the catcher Conor W it's interesting he plays kind of a a power spot defensively but runs pretty well so when you're looking at that position you're not expecting someone that has maybe above average speed but he does the one and I think that skill set really upgrades the position because when you have that kind of speed it makes the whole team that much better that one missed now three and0 what about a playing another position on defense one that would require a little more range absolutely and I think if push came to shove where they had to make a move during a game surprise a lot of people you might even be able to put him in center field F off down the right side and the righty deals foul we'll see another payoff pitch right-handed reliever bounced and that got the pitcher the throw won't get there in time and he's on it first and now they'll hustle out to check on him that was quite a shot he took as you see him down on the knee yeah clearly in some real pain but he will not want to come out of this game if he doesn't have to it's looking to me like he's going to try to shake it off and continue here's the second baseman David Hamilton and he grounds one to the right side and he picks it up and he'll put it in his pocket if you're a base runner you got to stay dialed in here look for anything in the dirt try your best to get into scoring position the goal ahead run a board at first nobody [Applause] out one is outside and it's a ball and a strike just missed with that back door breaking ball if he gets a swing and miss or called strike 02 count instead it's one-1 look for him to go back to that pitch later in this at back kicks Indi laser face hit throw holds him at second but the goahead run now in scoring position and still nobody out back to back base hits really good swing right there he got a pitch that he knew he could handle allowed himself to stay back just a tad bit longer and he hit the ball on the screws now a good opportunity to potentially Jump Ahead in this game here in the later Innings first and second no outs and stepping in for Boston that one is absolutely belted that's back there feeling for the wall as he makes the catch grounder tags it second now we'll see if moving up to third there pays off for him he didn't have to tag and go but now he can score a lot of different ways doesn't have to be a base hit we see what happens here's the center fielder jiren Durant oh with pretty good speed over there at first base I think the pitcher got to slow everything down hold the ball a little bit step off just try to break the timing of a potential base dealer that one finds the Zone it's 0 one I think ultimately you want to tie him up get the ball in on the plate so that he can't get the barrel to it and hit it to the outfield on the ground to short base hit now there you go the RBI machine another clutch run scoring it back yeah he's been so good in these situations call it clutch if you want but his resume speaks for itself Willer aru digs in now one for three upstairs at the dish looking to lift the ball in the air in this spot anything but the inning ining double playb two on one out ler caught it second it's never fun going back to the Dugout after hitting the line drive that finds a glove but you will get some high five you know when you make great contact you feel like you've done everything right but in this game of baseball not everything is in your control so first and second with two outs and now the first baseman Tristan casus and a foul ball two outs couple of base runners at first and second right field down the line and that one slices [Applause] to the2 Misses inside [Music] and that's off the Inside Edge now two and two chase that time at this point in the game you cannot issue free passes he's going to have to challenge this hitter hitter's got to be ready to swing it Rafel Des on deck for Boston and the rander deals and that one is lifted in the air Carrol moving under it he makes the grab and that is that so one run in the Inning on this base hit it's now a 32 ball game it's major league baseball and it's on the show welcome back in a new arm of the mound to start the eight Brennan Bernardino well the best relever love the opportunity to come in and protect the ti late in the ball game some of them are just wired different so we'll see what he's got here well one run game leading off Jack Peterson he's been a great free agent side as the Lefty gets to work swing and attacker the rolls [Applause] foul and here it comes that's inside one and one the Red Sox with some Bullpen action Kenley Janson the veteran rander appears to be loosening up petta getting loose as [Applause] well and the pitch ball no here one [Applause] in the air right field sizing this one up squeezes it one away maybe caught that one off the end just a little bit couldn't quite Barrel it up enough to really drive it and now the switch hitting first baseman Josh b ball one low one [Applause] and [Applause] downstairs next offering is in for a [Applause] strike one down base is empty swings through that [Applause] two and now the Lefty this to Center Field Durant on the Move that's out number [Applause] two up next to the D Haven Smith stands in now for the diamond B Bernardino 32 years old and he found his way onto the team after being claimed off waivers there's a strike no ball one strike and that one is inside ball one [Applause] [Applause] swing and a ball driven pretty well out towards left Center under it huls it in to end the inning so they go quietly there home half of inning number eight straight ahead it's the Red Sox three and the Diamondbacks two back now new pitcher on the M as we roll into the bottom of the eth Joe manip bringing in the Lefty with the left-handed hitter coming up to hit classic Bullpen move right here so we'll see how it works out Rael de up to [Applause] hit the pitch and first off ring is fouled off good eye right
