third Bas number 11as City third here's a one one Swang and a hard hit liner up the middle to base hit so a man on base to start the inning couldn't have timed it up any better than that everything

going to finish with a new career high in stolen bases Chris one1 swing and a miss and he got him to chase one and two count next off way off the plate and that one hammered Melendez moving back ball was and it gives him the lead in the first it's one nothing here's Tyler O'Neal the pitch that one is blasted left field towards the [Applause] monster pulls it in on the warning track now it's Des at the pl Chris is definitely going to finish the year with a new career high in homers we just don't know how many he's going to hit quite yet hard grounder into the outfield for a so they get a man aboard with a one out single well that was one of those high percentage Advantage counts where batting averages are just so much higher he wasn't able to elev it but he put a great swing on it right on time good balanced approach and just blasted it through the Des leads off first with one away popped up foul territory behind the and Martinez is out and there's two down stepping will just a bit outside that's a little bit outside throws the lead second two on now with two away Jonathan IND the pl swings through that one for strike two it's great to get on theard in the first frame theame here's an opp for to really open things up with a couple of Runners on let's see if they can cash in the one two and a foul ball he stays alive this is a good time to step out of the box take a deep breath reset couple of change UPS probably won't see man alive throw me everything off the hottest in baseball right now bouns it off still one and two and that's outside guys to watch Tak it he just battles up there he doesn't aitch off at Line Drive Right fi that's hes it to theor they by that's RBI [Music] [Applause] single to be watching that one back on video because that's the kind of Swing you want to so many positives that led to that well we hold that thought as that's the third out and we'll end the Inn two runs four hits in the first we'll take it back here at Fenway Park here's the catcher Freddy fine swing and a high fly ball to left and there's one down just pulled off of it a little bit right there that in of stay if he that going be able to go the middle the with someth instead of a fly to left next offering in there for a strike and that is strike [Applause] two Red Sox leading it by two here in the second game of the series that misses and the count is two and two and Miss Str him out that's out number two two outs B is empty here's Adam Frasier the other way and there's a hit and that keeps the inning going MJ Mendez steps in for the Royals Mendez k Sandos in there at the knees for a strike and he deals on the ground to Third Des throws on to First that ends the frame back here in Boston bottom half of inning number two and here's the rookie catcher Kyle teal ground ball right side pasquantino tosses to the pitcher covering the bag there to beat him by an eyelash Rob ref up next to the Red Sox and righty deals SW face hit so the one out hit turns the lineup over the so the batting order turns over now batting Jaren Durant slow roller up the middle tags to runner for one over to first so up next Tyler O'Neal now back right Ty oh de move to First Durant Dives back in safely Red Sox by two bottom half of inning number two the kick in the pitch Runner goes there's a ball [Applause] throws and misses it's a strike out on of the third Inn Drew wat stands in and another ball and now two and two down on strikes off hitter gone to the third here's the third [Applause] baseman and a one one that one the other way makes the grab for the second out and now Vinnie pasquantino it's never F going back to the Dugout after hit a line drive that finds a glove but you will get some high FS you know when you make great contact you feel like you've done everything right game of baseball not everything is in your control this to Third and that one handled slings it across and it's a one two three inning and we're back here at left hand batter WS and de hits that one and that should be extra bases now he'll turn for second in safely it's a double at his second hit and here is JD Martinez man it's second swing a deep drive this one's got a chance way back there and boom goes the dynamite a gig blast it's four nothing and next for the Red Sox Willer aru this one blasted the other way down the line and it's a foul ball well Chris through the early stages he hasn't been very efficient in terms of the pitch account he's going to need to get some quick outs if he's going to get deeper into this game now it's the second basan Jonathan India still only one out here the inning swing and a miss as he was late that time it is interesting though when you consider the way the game is run now doesn't even matter that much if your starter doesn't go that deep because teams are really aggressively building their B two out Bas is empty V gr the next to hit and another ball now a screamer into the Outfield Waters brings it in for the third out and we're back on to the fourth so up now for Kansas City Bobby Wht Jun ball to strike swing and a miss and he was fooled talk about tying a guy up that was ugly ground ball the middle that's a base hit and the lead off man aboard timing on the swing was good able to shoot the ball up the middle didn't Square it up as much as he probably would have liked but that's a good approach paying off Nelson Velasquez digs in now and that's downstairs and outside the 2-1 swinging a foul over the screen and back out of play the pitch swing and a miss for the strike out slider got him for strike three man it first and now the catcher comes up to H Freddy fine the Royals down by four top half of inning number four run on the goal throw to Second and he's [Applause] out and a ball in two strikes out to short and that one finds it way through and that extends the inning number now it's Hunter [Applause] rro fine leads off first with two down of the inning outside low ball two on the ground out to short Dives but it kicks off his glove safe at first as they can't make the play Adam Frasier steps in for the Royals up the middle and that chance handled on to First and that is that get get out of here cheap viewers on get out of here you B Kyle te [Applause] Kyle highfly ball down the left field line Melendez going after it and out number one on the grab and now the first baseman Rob ref Snider the first [Applause] one down base is empty gets him to chase after that one one ball two strikes bounc to the left side whip whips it across and there's two away so the Red Sox lineup turns over Jaren Durant up next to the Red [Applause] Sox swing and a miss and it's one and two one and two the count the other way in plenty of time to first play made that ends the inning and welcome back to the ballpark we go to to the top of the fifth and to the play for Kansas City MJ Mendez so a foul ball makes it one and two the wi in the pitch and a swing and a miss and the lead offense set down in their half of the fifth Drew Waters steps in for the Royals one down base is empty [Applause] swings and misses picks up strikeout number seven back to the top of the lineup now here's the lead off hitter for the Royals [Applause] Garcia and another ball on the ground right side Royals set down in order we head to the bottom of the fifth and stepping in for Boston Tyler O'Neal and here it comes and that's downed away you know these Red Sox simply put are producing a lot of quality swings we've heard lots of loud noise coming from their bats in this one haven't we I mean they've lost six hits at 90 plus exit velocity and that doesn't happen by accident now here's Rafael Des B is empty one away last half of inning number five and that's a base hit having himself a really nice game at the pl we' all seen the defens still PR early in theame some best scenario might be if he can come in here and get several quick outs kind of bridge the gap that starter left for him run around it first with one gone JD Martinez up next for the Red Sox there's a swing and a try wat going back pulls it in on the warning [Applause] track so man board will aru will hit next de off of first with two away swing in a miss one and two one and two and a base hit right there throw STS the lead at second two and two out nice pitch dro the barrel on it stayed onely the swing and D it the other way now this B is well hit this one's got a chance and that one will bang Off the Wall near the pesky is in now two run score and it's now a six run lead gets the job done as he brings home a pair nice job going the opposite way with it letting the bavel and not allowing the barrel to H around theall it's so frustrating when you see a good pitch and your hands roll over it was on the outside part of the pl and he approached it perfectly the Red Sox up big in this one here in the second game of the series F back ourway and that's out of play good plate appearance there able to take the walk a great back and andit found way to keep on right there I'll tell you right now I could have done it and it's fou away and down on strikes he goes they the damage here back here at Fenway and here's the first Vinnie's a one right side hard hit and that's one out as they get the lead off hitter in the six Bobby Whit J now he was drafted second overall by the Royals in 2019 rman was the only player taken ahead of him yeah he was part of a really good crop of Short Stops Bobby was the first one taken but CJ ABS Bryson stot Anthony B and gunar Henderson were also part of that draft class how good is that pretty pretty good and it looks like they might end up challenging this one very close play and we will take another look as well I couldn't tell in live action that's for sure and you know the Umpire is so much closer to the play and he thought he beat the throw so we'll see another look at it s you seeing enough to change the call yeah I think so Bo I mean it's close but I think after looking at it a few times we can see that this guy's probably out and could be a good use of the challenge right here looks like we've got an answer and he's out they took a chance with the challenge and it paid off so two away with nobody up here's the Royals designated hitter Nelson velas is and that one fouled off and a pitch that one 95 to finish him [Applause] off bottom of the six Jo stepping in for Boston Rob ref Snider firster the W to kick the pitch that one fouled off three and two payoff pitch and he walked [Applause] itas and now here's a speed threat Outfield jiren Durant dur dur and he grounds one back up the middle here's one to First not in time great effort there this is obviously a tremendous but for me it starts with a well broken to have the confidence to go down knowing that going to be right in the pocket so you've got a clean transfer back up to the and ACR the div outstanding job Line Drive he's got it there's two away 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 anytime you're at the plate Durant off of first with two away up and in and it's two and [Applause] one oh that hit him and they got the out after the that's the third out over that picture is still late on the mound dude is he gone backway top of Inn number that was that was a Hardline Drive man right off the chin go I don't know does look good and another ball well these Royals 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 fooled quite a bit today India over to First in time one up one down a little out front there as he swing through one two [Applause] count next offering misses down and Away the Red Sox up big in this one here in the top half of inning number seven now just about to hit that century mark 100 pitches for this game well struck left field and out of here that one felt good and they cut into the deficit it's 61 and next up for the Royals Adam Frasier and so the Red Sox go to the bullpen Brenan Bernardino well you see the ra very solid and that doesn't always tell you the whole story but he's been really good so far this year [Applause] in there at the knees Red Soxs up 61 HS and misses it's a strike out so up now for Kansas City MJ Mendez M Mendez and there with the knees and the count one and [Applause] two can't connect on the curve ball struck him out set for the last half for the seventh now here is JD Martinez right handed on the I got to stop swinging at junk with martinez first and one away in the bottom of the seven now the Leti will AR here's a one-1 he swings and hits a Fly ball center field Waters settles underneath it HS it in for the out two away now here's the second base Jonathan India two down nobody on here the bottom of the [Applause] seven I would say the game's close right now but it's not Out Of Reach either these pitchers really need to put up a zero on the board just to maintain a little hope that misses the zone two and two and a swing in a miss and that's that back in Boston the top of the eight stepping in Drew waters on the ground to the left Des throws on to First and that's one away as the lead off man is out in the E so the Royals batting order turns over now the third baseman and the pitch towards first finds his way through base hit so man aboard now one away not to and the in that's a team right there nice job of staying back and letting the ball get deep now at the plate Vinnie pasquantino just misses and a full countdown payoff pitch fouled off again and it remains three and two and a swing to miss down on strikes and there's two away man it first Bobby Whit junr steps in for the Royals the Red Sox leading by five and we're in the top of the E swing in a Miss as he was out front that time and that one hit to first he takes it himself to the bag and that'll do it back now new pitcher on the M as we roll into the bottom of the E Nick Anderson I think it's got to be a little tough coming in out of the pin when your guys are trailing so big on the score just doesn't have the same intensity to it but he's got to find a way because these batters count the same for his stats obviously regardless of the score V gr now the [Applause] play just misses with that one it's a good take this to center field Waters makes the play and there's one away and next for the Red Sox Kyle one down base is empty that Clips the zone that is strike two [Applause] and the rander deals swings through it for the K couldn't catch up to the heater two out SP is empty Rob ref Snider up next for the Red Sox [Applause] and [Applause] ball highfly ball lifted in the air right field redroo makes the grab and that'll do it back here in Boston we go to the ninth and now the DH Nelson Velasquez Velasquez here comes a pitch swing and a miss and he was [Applause] fooled next pitch just misses and now it's three and two and they'll do it again well he missed a hitable off speed pitch right there not sure exactly with the timing sometimes you get a backup breaking ball You're expect it to make it move at the end it never does and you're tied up he's two outs away here's the catcher Freddy fine swing and a miss and the count is one and two he goes down [Applause] looking last chance for the Royals but to rro at the plate the pitch and a foul ball one strike away and a ball even a cow that turns out to be a really good take right there but you don't want to game with the bat on your shoulder ripped to short stag on a bounce to First and what a play know winning ball Club so a little bit of pressure off put your foot on the gas and just see where you can finish from this point on 61 is your final here today for Chris Singleton and our entire outstanding crew here at MLB the Show I'm John Shi we'll see you soon the
