GAME 145 TAMPA BAY RAYS 77,67 @ PHILADELPHIA PHILLIES 88-56

from the City of Brotherly Love and Citizens Bank Park inter league baseball on MLB The Show it's the Tampa Bay Rays taking on the Philadelphia Phillies first pitch coming at you right after the break so just the in one Z wheeler and sing that may be his name but the strikeout is his game well I can tell you've been working on that one but yes you are right this guy strike out for n over 11 I mean that's just getting it done there are a lot of strike outs in that other lineup and when you look at what he's able to do it's going to be a fun one to watch to chance for Josh low inside corner that's a stri and that's how this game gets started next offering way upstairs swing and that ball smashed on a line he's got it one down now a look at Kevin Cash's lineup for the Tampa Bay Rays a tough challenge in this one an excellent arm on the mound singing they're going to have to capitalize on their opportunities yeah and they're not going to get a whole lot if he pitches the way that he's capable of pitching so you know be ready to swing from the first pitch you get something straight man you better turn on it and now the DH Jose Cav it's been a tough stretch for him at the plate only two hits over the last five games that hits the dirt ball one that one ripped and it one hops the wall around first heading for two and that's a double couldn't have timed it up any better than that really good swing right there you got 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 one out runner at second Yi Diaz now he's been on fire at the dish lately pits in each of the last six games now a check on of it second back safely in for a strike and one and one that's inside and it's second there's a strike that pitch was dotted so much talent on display when this guy's out there on the [Applause] hill foul ball still a one and two count one out the runner at second here in this second game of the series got and there's two away Isaac bres now homered in the ball game yesterday [Applause] afternoon and the first pitch misses for ball one and that's outside he's clearly trying to work him away here both pitches off the plate if you really want to put the ball in play you're going to have to stay back and drive it to the opposite field that's inside three balls no strikes Randy Ros Arena next to bat for Tampa three down and that one off the Inside Edge he walked him just came apart right there four pitch walk and play was not going to help him out by swinging at something out of the Zone took to a board in Two Out scoreless game and now Randy a Ros Arena and that's off the Inside Edge and that's ball one first and second two down and we're just getting started here in the top of the first can't find it here that's six straight balls could be some action here on this next pitch couple Runners on probably a challenge pitch coming swing in a miss two balls one strike right hander kick deals good eye in that spot Brandon L up next for the Rays on the ground to the right side he takes it himself to the bag and that'll do it so the Rays strand a pair Philly's coming up to hit no score you're watching Major League Baseball exclusively on the show back here in Philadelphia and on the hill Dre rasm and singy we were talking earlier about how he's doing a great job navigating through tough spots I've just been so impressed with when it seems like there's more pressure he's more calm and settles and he's done an incredible job with runners in scoring position most guys they get a little tight they start to aim the baseball but for some reason he gets looser the ball comes out of his hand with more life and he's able to wiggle off the hook of you know tough situations and get his team back in the Dugout Trey Turner in now takes ball one off the plate at the belt and fires swing and a miss strike one I think he was sitting off speed [Applause] there next offer in there for a strike that strike two he has a tendency to chase out of his Zone and that slider that's down that's one of his money pitches to get that swing and miss and a pitch outside and that's ball two swing and a miss for the strike out couldn't catch up to the heater very frustrating right there as a speedy potential base runner when with two strikes you just struggle to put the ball in play you don't even have to get a hit at that point you can help your team just by reaching on an eror but some way got to find a way to shorten up the swing and put the ball in play next time Brandon Marsh steps to the plate fast ball for a [Applause] strike comes up empty that's strike two no balls two strikes [Applause] that one missing inside and this is inside it's a good take and down on strikes two gone well there appears to be no problem s on the out there today it looks pretty tough to start this one punching out the first two hits of this ball game and somebody's going to have to put the bat on the ball put it in play and get something going Bryce Harper stands in here leaves that one off the inside two out Bas is empty [Applause] ripped to short over to Diaz Harper retired three up three down inning over down quickly go the Phillies scoreless after one back here Citizen Bank here's the second baseman Brandon la la a former Allstar batting sixth in today's lineup he's been scoring a lot of runs lately he scored nine times in a last 10 games first pitch doesn't find the zone and that's a strike Ed Drummond our umpire behind the pl in this one yeah BR a really umpire both the pitchers and the hitters so standard Strike Zone he's consistent with it and the great thing is you don't see players questioning the calls too much so that's a good thing in this day and age that's in for a strike at 95 one and two and a swing and a miss one out second and now it's Jose Seri not getting the results he's wanted at the plate recently just one hit in his last five games just missed kicks and fires and that's in for a strike one out base is empty and the rander [Music] deals battling here as he fouls it away swing and a miss struck him out now two away Bo gets talked about a lot but a good high fast ball in a two strike situation it's just become such a problem for hitters in more recent years with all of the emphasis by pitchers on developing that spin rate having a good grip on the baseball those High fast BS they kind of look like to The Hitter that they're Rising even though they're not but they're not decreasing in velocity and spin rate so very difficult to get the barrel on it two outs and a swing in a Miss there just a bit late on that 01 breaking ball 02 hole now he's going to have to shorten up tighten things up if he's going to have a good at bat just misses the mark outside the Zone really good take especially with two strikes hard grounder into the outfield for a knock Joey gets on base and keeps it going and that is his major league hit a nice moment for yeah anytime you flip the page on a career Milestone it feels really good you know that number's in front of you for a long time and you can't get there fast enough good for him so man aboard batter now Renee Pinto swing in a Miss as he was late that time this is a great Dynamic right here Speedy runner at first thinking about taking second catcher with the pop time that leaves Jaws on the floor this might get interesting boo wheeler with a throw over right through there for a strike goodness I think he just took the best pitch he's going to see in this at bat K Min like that in that location I don't know if you take that pitch against any pitcher out there in the M here's the 02 and a swinging a Miss third out that ends the frame one left for Tampa we'll go to the bottom of the second no score we head to the bottom of the second here's a big Power threat Kyle schwarber he is very much your typical power hitter I'd say he falls into the three true outcomes category well we've seen more and more of that lately the ability to drive the ball to slug is getting heavily favored over any discipline or strikeout concerns the pitch fast in for a strike and it's O and [Applause] one and there's a foul [Applause] ball and the O2 good job to fight that one off foul ball it stays nothing in two and a pitch breaking ball inside and the count is one and two swing in a miss and he's down on strikes one here been a pretty rough start to this series for him at the play three strikeouts in the first game yesterday another one right there they clearly got a great plan for how to deal with this guy right now NI casos at the plate now too much swing and missing his it bats recently striking out nearly twice in each of the last five games first offering and it just misses [Applause] one down base is empty that Clips a corner good pitch down around the knees you want to be there all game in a park like this a popup sometimes will carry out to the left side but it is well fou well that ball was hit pretty hard and sure had home run distance but the pitch right there on the M you execute it just a long strike you go after him and finish him off just misses with that one nothing nothing here in the bottom of the second and another ball you can see was trying to stay back long enough to handle the off speed pitch but just a little T on The Fast and here it comes center field Siri in position snags it for the second out and now it is JT real mut and a swinging Miss [Applause] one here comes a pitch and it's a three up three down inning three up three down for Philadelphia we'll move to the third with no score top half of the third inning and now the right fielder Josh low wheeler back to work that misses one and0 the pitch just missed and another ball next offering is in for a strike and boy that was the pitch 3-1 you want to be really aggressive on the fast got him swingy couldn't catch up to the heater well when you commit to throwing an inside fast B to your glove side across the strike zone especially with two strikes if you're going to miss you want to miss off the plate in you do not want to leave it out over the heart of the plate so that was excellent execution on that pitch really tied him up and he couldn't get a piece at all cavier batting with one down takes the strike [Applause] [Applause] and that one fouled off and he deals on the ground of first Di and he can't hang on gets it there in time though and a tough play with a fast runner but they get the out this is what it's all about on that right side of the diamond when you got the first baseman involved in the pitcher as well first does a great job knocks the gets away from a little bitan thech exactly where he supped to be nice feed and a nice play for the out so next to the plate for Tampa Bay yandi Diaz fast ball for a strike going one top of the third no [Applause] score there's The Swinging a Miss I'll tell you what he's embarrassed right now never swings at that kind of pitch especially that early in the count here's a swing and a drive left field and he knew it he flexes his power with that swing home run number 20 on the year and he gives him the lead in the third it's one nothing the one thing the pitcher didn't want to happen just happened that's not an easy one to stum well I'm sure there's a big on his face right now boo he's probably had some of those that didn't stay fair but off the bat it looked like he was going to been foul was able to keep it in there tucked it nicely and he gets the jog around the base is good for him and first offering is fouled off one run acrossing the frame so far the Rays leading on the solo Homer going chew now swing and a miss struck him out the Rays kick off the scoring with a solo bomb it's now one nothing you're dialed into the show and welcome back to the ball as we go to the last of the third and now for the Phillies Alec B the pitch foul ball [Applause] there righty to the plate s going to foul straight back kicks andand spoils the two strike pitch and he'll see another swings and misses on the fast up in zone for the strike out really love the pitch sequence right there I'm telling you what pitcher and catcher on the same page right now this is Bryson stop home last night added another hit as well first pitch misses the Rays up by a run here in the last half of the thir [Applause] third and that's off the Inside Edge and it's two and0 bounce to the left side boots it and he's going to make it to First and we'll see how they score I don't have the number to back this up or anything but I think PCH who tend to rack up a bunch of strikeouts sometimes end up with more errors behind them in the field just because the Defenders aren't as involved in the game they're not as sharp and who knows if that played any Factor there but I think there could be something to it now it's going to be Johan Roa there's a strike one down Phillies down the Run popped up foul territory behind the plate two down the number seven back to the top of the lineup Trey Turner with a chance now let off the game with a strike out bounce to the right and it goes just foul well if he's going to steal second you want him to go early in the count that way he's not a distraction to the hitter at the plate go ahead and get it out of the way so the hit focus on pitch 01 now right through there for a strike stop off of first with two away swings through that one it's a strike out so no runs no hits and one error but they leave him stranded three Innings complete it's the Rays one and the Phillies nothing and we're back digging in Randy AR roena roena as he turns on the rubber with that good live arm delivers right through there for a strike well these Rays showing great great discipline at the plate and patience definitely seems to be the name of their game in this one he's only given up one run but the starter's pitch count is starting to get up there and that might be the best news yet for this [Applause] offense swinging made quick work of him right there s I know that's the kind of a maybe leaves a lot of fans wondering what was he doing up there right yeah and I get that I mean you take two straight strikes then Chase one in the zone it's it's just not a good at B it'll leave you shaking your head as a hitter if not worse but there's always going to be those trips to the plate where you're just lost up there and that was one of them for sure and now it's Brandon La chase that time you know sometimes all it takes is getting to the next arm before an offense does any damage and that might be the case today one down base is empty next pitch in for a strike and a count one and one swing and a miss and that's strike two Bas is empty one away top half of inning number four C looking for the K two out space is empty now up for Tampa B Jose Siri for one he struck out swinging last time just off the outside edge and that's ball one a swing and a miss and that's strike one and the pitch so a foul ball makes it one and two the wind to the pitch knocks that one away and we'll do it again two down nobody on here in the second game of the series that's foul off to the right side keeps the ab going outside low and it's two and in the air out towards left Center makes the grab and that's the inning back at citiz Bank Park ready to go Bottom now the number two hit Brandon Mar the pitch just missed well these Phillies as this game goes on have to be more disciplined at the plate they're chasing a lot of pitches outside the zone and those chases are turning into bunch of outs can they turn that around and stay within the Zone we'll see but I think they have [Applause] to on the ground right side he takes it on his own one out in the bottom of the four first [Music] number Harper here's Harper now grounded out as first time one to Bry the Rays leading by a run we're here at the bottom of the [Applause] fourth bounce to the right side he handles it himself already two gone here the kle Kyle schwarber comes up to hit here swing and a miss chased it out of the Zone he's pitching well but not throwing a ton of first pitch strikes usually doesn't work out for success but you can never baseball and he pumps it a strike this guy's not wasting any pitches hitters got to get into swing mode this is a good time to expand the Zone throw something maybe down in the dirt that missed by a lot and the count one and two two downman got him swinging for the strike out and that's strikeout number 100 on the year Phillies down still behind by a count of one to nothing back here in Philadelphia we go to the top of the fth and now ahed Rosario Rosario measures 6' 2 in 28 years old usually a second but today starting at Short Stop the 01 well some people think this is no big deal but I think when you consider the longer throw the fact that you've got to be able to cover up the middle to your left it's a big adjustment for the short stop takes the ball two two now gets a piece and stays alive and the righty deals and another Ball twins and misses it's a strike out some high chees for strike three came inside with that two strike fast nicely and just bunched on the inside part of the plate couldn't get around on it and catch it out FR many times if you do it's a foul ball and you know a lot of pitchers they really don't like working inside with two strikes because they do not want to hit that batter and when they've got him up against the ropes got to figure out a way to put him away did a nice job right there Pinto takes a ball as he stands in for the second time the one that one hammered center field roax going back and he makes the catch on the track just missed a homer that [Applause] time so the lineup flips over Josh low now at the plate CS the outside corner one popped in the air left field and makes the play and that's out number three ready to go for the last half of the inning so digging in now for Philadelphia Nick [Applause] castanos and the pitch L drive that's a base hit off to a good start with a lead off now well the last 10 games or so have been anything but fun at the plate for him so that one has to feel good that pretty much split the Zone down the middle and those are the ones where you got to make them p no outs runner at first and up to the plate is JT real M swing in a miss and it's and [Applause] one swings through that one out in front that time the two strikes may see some movement over there first base trying to stay out of the double play right here got him swinging and one away well there's a three- pitch strike out he can do whatever he wants with the baseball right now and now it's Alec bone his bat was a strike out in the air left side a Rosena moving under it he's got it there's two away the batter number five second Bryson stock stands in for the Phillies he's over for one [Applause] and immediately pumps in a strike to the left-handed hitter oh he's got to be pretty proud of this outing so far sometimes guys cower coming into a ballpark like this but he is ATT tacked hitters pitching on the road like this is very impressive this has been a treat to [Applause] watch righty delivers going to count one and two the Rays up by a run last half of inning number five and another ball swing and a miss that one in the dirt on to first got him ining over on the strike out Philly strand one they're down one nothing at the Jose cavier wheeler back to work way high in the air pretty deep out to center field Ro Hawks puts it away one away and stepping in for the Rays yandi Diaz he's produced the only run of the game with his solo shot earlier yeah the pitching's been outstanding in this one so that home run has really been the only big sign of life from either [Applause] offense that one misses in the dirt hit in the air left field Marsh moves under it huls it in and there's two away now isach paradus a strike out and a walk [Applause] there's a strike just an outstanding job of spinning the baseball moving it around doing what he does hit pretty well in the air out to [Applause] Center RW brings it in for the third out nothing doing for the offense that time 91 and two scheduled to hit in the home half of the six it's the Rays one and the Phillies nothing and welcome back to the ballpark bottom of the six now here is Johan Roos the pitch that one misses ball one you know this guy's great speed is in the back of that pitcher's mind if he can get on it's going to give him one more thing he's got to think about at the belt fires fall off foul the one1 ball drops in there it really looks like these hitters have been in between with their timing today good fast excellent slider but they've not been able to commit to one velocity and stay there on the one bot of the Trey Turner now there's 0 for two with a pair of strikeouts they TR to get him to chase on a slider down and Away home team down a run here in the bottom of the six right through there for [Applause] strike and that one is lifted in the air low has it sized up he's got it and there's two away Brandon Mar stands in for the Phillies first pitch just misses two down nobody on here in the second game of the [Applause] series kicks and fires [Music] [Applause] bouns it off still one and two up the middle On The Run send it over to first they get the out and that will do it down quickly go the Phillies and it remains one nothing on here Spencer turn and if you his his numbers are really impressive he's really filled up the strike zone this season so these batters better be ready to swing the bats well one run game now it's Randy Arena and a pitch that one fouled off right-handed reliever slap the other way foul the line in the pitch nope that's inside stirring in the Phillies Bullpen Sir Anthony Dominguez a right-hander with big strikeout stuff is getting it fired up St the Lefty warming up as well here's a onew that one just misses and a base hit man aboard on the lead off single everything came together for him nice job of driving that pitch the other way on a line you know HS they take so many reps in the cages going the opp field and itn't always theame but right there did and he did itly LA at the plate and that's off the Inside Edge ball one the pitch that one misses two balls no strikes struggled a little bit in this one couple of strikeouts earlier but doing a much better job in this bat to get ahead and find a good hitter count at two and0 next offering is in for a strike rosar Rena on the Move late swing fouled to the [Applause] left rder goes again pitch misses real Mutual throws not in time it's a stolen base well it seems like 9 is such a big deal in a tight one run game like this one maybe it's a little bit risky but good about it and it PA off see if they can turn this into a big payoff pitch bals that off to the left and will do it again and it's second inside Ball Four now a great back and forth and that it B he had to play off some really close pitches andow he found a way to keep the bat on his shoulder right there I'll tell you right now I couldn't have done it so next to the plate for Tampa Bay Jose Siri so RBI spot but Chris this a guy that is not really swing the bat all that well here in this situation you have a real good opportunity to get swings and misses and record a strike out I think you attack him in this spot pitch and find the Zone Andy di this one kicks away from real M and two in scoring position now thanks to that wild pitch well boo it's already been a tough start to this inning as it is and that wild pitch is going to make things even tougher two men in the scoring position still with nobody out so this really becomes a strikeout situation on the M face Runners at second and third here no outs and downstairs in the infield at the corners don't be surprised to see them come home first and prevent that run from scoring fast ball for a strike that to right the gets under it makes the grab both Runners tagging from second and third the throw is offline and he's in score and they lead by two well that's a quality at that right there you know the situation you need something in the air and deepen up and that's exactly what he did good pass to the baseball and now it's oned Rosario he's been a great free agent sign and that drops in for a strike comes up empty the punch out there two gone now big strike out right there and that kind of takes the pressure off the defense a bit infield was in so now they can ground that third Renee Pinto next to hit for the Rays and the first pitch misses for ball one La at third with two away not close with that one ball two love how this guy grinds out at bats I mean he's down there at the bottom of the lineup in the nine hole but he's worked himself into a really good hitter count trying to pick up a two out RBI next one misses and it's three and0 Josh low next to bat for Tampa and he walked him on four pitches Jos low next to for the r see he's got a history of coming through into big spots I know I like to talk about I'm not sure whether clutch actually exists but you look at the numbers and this guy always seems to deliver in those spots well I think it's the ability to assess the situation understanding what the pitcher has what he's trying to get people out on and then being able to use the entire field that misses and that's ball three [Applause] there's the [Applause] strike two on two outs fouls one away and now three and two gets a piece there we'll do it again Corners are occupied with two [Applause] down good plate appearance there able to take the walk oh that sets up a really big atat in this game these are the moments when everyone in the stadium gets really locked in next is the designated hitter Jose cavier kind of goes without saying but stranding these two runners in scoring position right here it feels like it's a must if they stand a chance to win this game and the first pitch misses for ball one Bas is loaded two now swing in a Miss as he was out front that time pitch misses two and one in situations like these the air can get really thin up there at the plate got to find a way to breathe and slow everything down late swing fouled off [Applause] up and that's the third out so they get one but end up leaving the bases loaded seventh inning stretch time it's the Rays two and the Phillies [Music] nothing bottom of the seven and digging in for Philadelphia Bryce Harper if you don't get ahead in the count you can forget about having any success against him and here it comes takes low for ball one Bullen movement for the ray Jason Adam preparing to come on if needed po getting cranked up as well and a pitch right through there for a strike timing issues can snowball quickly and that's what we're witnessing here lineup's inability to lock on to the pitcher delivery is causing a few awkward swings the one- one is fouled off hammers that one deep left field and forget it he circles the bases it's 21 this crowd is on fire right now they're going nuts thanks to that home [Applause] run a good hitter gets pitch recognition early he saw exactly where that was going to be the challenge not get over anxious and come out of your swing he stayed on it and got all of [Applause] it Kyle schwarber the next to hit schwarber one of the elite home run hitters in the League this year swings through that one for strike one one the [Applause] count fast ball for a strike and it's O and two right side hard hit throws to first in time and one away in the bottom of the seven here's Nicholas castanos one for two this pitcher has done a good job of disrupting The Hitter timing with the mix of pitches and changing speeds you want to keep that front foot inconsistent for the batter their swings arees this one swung on and hit well way back there oh a he'll Circle the bases it's their second home run in the inning and we are all tied up it's 22 listen to these fans this place is absolutely buzzing right now you can feel the energy all the way up here in our broadcast Bo [Applause] love to see a hitter aggressive on the first pitch at bat you watch him from the on Deck Circle so when you step in the Box you're ready to pull the trigger wherever it's at really good job by the hitter total conviction on that swing JT real mtil steps in Pitch misses there and that's ball one all tied up here the bottom of the [Applause] seven that misses the zone and now two and0 rasm maybe a little less aggressive on the M right now after that home run Chris yeah it seems that way you know pitchers they can come out feel good but then all of a sudden get touched up a little bit and they start trying to throw instead of pitch they're not trusting their stuff in the air on the infield Diaz snags it and there two outs it's a good recy though aftering up the Home Run not allowing it toay in the but going to work at the next and a tough one at that here's the third Alec B that one finds the zone and that is strike one well he's been good for the most part is it going to take someone going out to the to maybe refocus him a bit well partner every picture is a little different I I liking it to you sometimes you come in and you're not as focused and I kind of do what it takes to get you on track and then you have a great show uh so perhaps it's the same with him nobody really wants their Rhythm broken up but sometimes they need a little pickme up big swing in a miss that misses the zone and the count is even two and two that one 95 to finish him off but two round Trippers in this inning the long ball was working and we're deadlocked now at two a piece back here Citizens Bank Park where the top of the eigh now up for Tampa Bay yandi Diaz Y and the right hander back to work swing in a miss and one and one and the rander deals and misses it's a strike out he came out of his mechanics there typically likes to shoot the ball the other way but that time a little anxious so digging in isak Paredes Outfield playing very deep not wanting anything over their heads just missed the pitch no inside that one catches the corner for a strike faces empty one away and we're in the top of the eth on the ground to the left Turner fires to First and that quickly two away that play won't be trending on social media later on but it's still important to execute it to Perfection this game is a lot harder than it looks partner and stepping in for the ray Randy Rosena one for three that's in there and that's strike one two outs Miss off the play now one and two would chase that [Applause] time two down nobody line drive and that's a base hit the right well that was one of those high percentage Advantage counts where batting averages are just so much higher nice job going the opposite way with it letting the ball travel and not allowing the barrel to hook around the ball it's so frustrating when you see a good pitch and your hands roll over he was on the outside part of the pl and he approached it perfectly two outs runner at first Brandon L next to hit for the r that Clips The Zone that's strike one Turnbull throws to First a Ros Arena gets back easily that's in there and the count is 0 and two and a bat like this is almost over as it begins in this situation you have no idea what the next pitch is going to be you just got to hope that you can make contact run around the move foul ball still two the pitchow the high pass the KN a strike out the ray strand just the one score remains [Applause] 22 on the As We Roll the bottom of the z l home runs have been a problem this year not doing a great job keeping the ball in the yard so far this season so we'll see if that factors in brys stop stands in for the Phillies and a pitch lifted in the air now the left side and it drops in first digging for two to Second pulls him off the B just AIT behind third right there and that's a really tough fight for thir a short stop to get to and the same for the left so he just found a perfect place to drop that one in right there down go ahead runs in scoring position so big opportunity for them to Jump Ahead L and now for the Phillies Johan [Applause] Roos there a strike as a pitcher you know the runner on second is ready to push things with his speed a base hit probably going to be a big run you to execute on the M goahead run in scoring position nobody out here the bottom half of the eighth inning that one way outside and the count even one and one activity in the bullpen Phil M warming up for manager Kevin cash Armstrong a hard throwing right hander up as well the pitch that's outside now two balls in a strike and another ball first pitch strike from the pitcher but then no Panic at all by The Hitter very patient showing good discipline now he's in the driver seat with the B one count and the righty deals swing and a miss and a full countdown and it's second and he walked he's making things difficult for himself right now out there on the M but you know his confidence should still be high enough to get out of this but he's going to have to buckle down right here so the batting order turns over here's Trey Turner pitch misses inside and that is ball one stop at second Roos on it first with nobody out just missed s appeal to First and he won around just enough that time [Applause] two two on the way he fouls it off will'll do it again righty to the plate and a foul ball he stays alive [Applause] righty delivers HS and misses it's a strikeout and there's another strike out and those are just continuing to pile up his confidence level has got to be dropping he's got to to ad teams two on one out Brandon Mar stands in the Phillies for three with two ground outs and a strike out definitely wants to stay out of the double play here ball on the ground in the infield should be aning dou play in there for strike one really good job in this spot to get ahead in the count he's going to have to continue finish off this hitter that's inside and one and one one out the goahead run is it second and the count one and two now one miss two on one out swings and sends a rocket to right and it's off the out of town scoreboard a second and he's in there a r comes in on the play Such Great concentration everybody on their feet knowing that you can come through with a good swing and there he doesn't try to do too much [Applause] and now here is Harper gold opportunity right here fast for a strike here's a sack fly situation and he's got to make sure he gets the ball out over the plate and get those arms extended they're trying to crowd him with the infield in this be a big pick off if he can push a run across [Applause] next pitch is [Applause] downstairs that Clips the corner good eye right there got him outside pitch got the better of him that time Kyle schwarber stands in for the Phillies oh for three with two strikeouts and a ground out and this is a big opportunity for him to pick up his team right here bit of strategy here they issue the intentional walk and that'll set up a force play at any base these fans don't like to see that because they showed up to watch him swing the B but this team does not want to let him beat him two out space is loaded Nick castanos stands in for the Phillies [Applause] first pitch misses two outs bases are [Applause] full and fouled off the one-1 and that one fouled off the pitch they tried to get him to chase on a slider down and Away got him that ends the inning as they squander a chance to pick up some insurance well this guy competes hard we the emotion there I love it great job of getting out of the jam thep of's the J Al save opportunity for him right here and he's their guy time to lock this one down and get out of here with the w and the pitch B one a next offering is in for a strike fall off foul and that's in the dirt Hammer could be extra bases and the tying runs at second base with a double one of the hardest things to do in the game to stay mentally and physically ready for the big opportunity and he came through for his right there runner in scoring position no outs next to hit Ahmed Rosario swing in a Miss that's strike one well comfortable or not these are the situations closers they seem to live for when you get into some hot water Jam tough spot whatever you want to call it but this is where they earn their [Applause] key so the tying run it's second outside low and that's ball one all season long he's racked up a number of saves and sometimes the adrenaline doesn't get high enough until there's a runner or two on face here comes a pitch swings and misses one and two just about gives a skiper a heart attack but that's where he functions [Applause] best out to short Turner slings it across now one gone in the nth that's a huge defensive play in the late stages of the game it might not be the challenging we've seen today but it needed to be he's two outs Away Renee Pinto next to hit for the Rays just amazing to me how many closers and backend relievers just throw absolute gas these days I never would had a chance and there's a ball with the tying run at second here the top of the night that one's in there and the count one and two swing and a miss him out now only one out remaining so the raay batting order turns over Josh low next to hit for the Rays trying to deliver is the hero check swing he went too far and it's a strike a one run lead as the Rays try and punch back down a run and that's in there at the knees this could end it and misses stop him out and that ends the ball game the tying run left stranded at second well this turned out to be an exciting very wellplayed game always feels great when you can take the lead in the eighth at home come on the ninth crowd will be behind that pitcher as he tries to get those final three outs everybody goes home happy with a win like this 32
