🔴LIVE NOW! Cincinnati Reds vs Milwaukee Brewers - Aug 31, 2024 MLB Full Game - MLB 24 EN VIVO

so just about set and on the hill the big righty Jake junis 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 in he's done an incredible job runners in scoring position and 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 first 76 rander kicks deals that one fouled [Applause] off and the righty deals stays alive leftand batter weights Fly ball down the line and it's stays Fair round first and hustling for second and it's a double to start the game he went up there and got it with two strikes I'm not going to leave this in the umpire's hands I'm going to be aggressive it was in a location where he could get those arms extended that he loves to do so nice job right there coming back in that at bat next for Milwaukee Jackson Chio third baseman playing on the edge of the grass looking for the sack bun pitch misses there one [Applause] and0 Runner and scoring position no out and we're just getting started here in the top of the first big swing and a miss [Music] one swings through down he has a tendency to chase out of the zone and that slider that's down that's one of his money pitches to get that swing and Miss swing and a high fly ball down the right field line he's got it grounder tags it second and he makes it up to third with one away let's take a look at the Brewers lineup Chris this is a lineup offensively that could be really good for years to come they're deep first and foremost but the way that they can manipulate their personnel for matchups and everything else it's uh very intelligent the way that they use their team and I I think it creates a little bit of uh uncertainty for opposing teams especially in a big game big series and now it's William trus and that's [Applause] outside the pitch and another [Applause] ball that one hammered but pulled fast ow and a swing Miss wow no fair right there that slider didn't move to the very last moment incredibly difficult to pick that up just going to have to tip your cap on that pit in the dirt nice job behind the plate runner on a third one gone that's toward Center should have this one he makes the grab Runner tagging from Third Run scores easily and it's one nothing well that's a quality at bat right there you know the situation you need something in the air and deep enough and that's exactly what he did good pass to the baseball and the batter now is reys [Applause] Hoskins Hoskins measures 6' 4 in batting in the cleanup spot and he was a fifth round pick back in 2014 two outs and a foul ball righty delivers and strike two one ball chases the fast up the ladder struck him out but they push across one run one hit no errors and no one left on bottom half of inning number one coming up it's the Brewers one the Reds coming up back here in Cincinnati getting the KN on the mound Aaron Sali what do you have on him Chris 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 it seems they have a hard time picking up his release point and tracking the into the zone so we'll see how right handers do against him in this one bottom of the first and ready to hit now for Cincinnati Jonathan India in there at the knees it's own and [Applause] one and a pitch foul ball still ow and two [Applause] [Music] [Applause] the pitch got him looking and he did not like the [Applause] call next for Cincinnati Ellie de [Applause] Cruz fought off foul the red signed Ellie in 2018 but it took a few years for him to stand out in their minor league system in 2021 he went from an unranked Prospect to a player on a fast track to the majors few scouts out there believe a growth spurt helped change Ellie's entire career and there's a hit so they get a man a board with a one out single couldn't have timed it up any better than that anytime you rip a line drive the other way you feel really good about what you did in the play you trusted your hands the ball travel and you took the barrel straight to it that's great work right there and now let's see if they for some action with good Wheels on the [Applause] bases and a pitch drilled out towards left center field that's well struck Perkins going back Banks Off the Wall Del La Cruz around second headed for third right p is coach headed for the plate the throw is offline he's Sav it's one-1 back to back base hits absolutely blasted that one into the Gap but just didn't have quite enough to clear the wall out there maybe a little more elevation under it and it carries over but that's a swing you'll be happy with every time one down and now the center fielder TJ fredel fast ball for a strike [Applause] spoils the two strike pitch and he'll see another Stevenson leads off second with one gone in the inning next offering misses and the count one and [Music] two popped up to the left into foul ground Ortiz drifts towards it and there are two outs here's the lineup for the Reds and Chris this group has been struggling to put up runs lately well they haven't been on base a ton and even when they are they haven't been hitting very well with the runners on base so they need a player or two to really Step Up have some quality at bats hit according to the situation and sort of break out of this I think if they do the rest of this lineup will follow now a chance for Spencer steer [Applause] [Applause] and that's off the Inside Edge two balls no strikes and another ball good pitchers make pitches in big situations and right here with a middle of the order hitter up runner in scoring position he's got to find a way to throw a quality [Applause] strike and it's Ball Four Miss down low well just came apart right there four pitch walk and the play was not going to help him out by swinging something out of his own first and second and two down and the batter now Ty France off the plate inside and that's ball one [Applause] breaking ball through there for a strike two outs couple of base runners at first and second ripped On A Line to Center and that is the inning run scoring double here for the Reds all even now at 1-1 Major League Baseball is on the show back here at Great American Ballpark there's the short stop at the pl Willie [Applause] Adamas the right hander back to work and there's a foul ball [Applause] and the right-hander deals that's a little bit [Applause] low that one hammered center field CLE going back on this one PS it in on the warning track I didn't think he got it off the bat but the win made it a lot more interesting than expected nice job with the center fielder puts it all the way back to the track man Garrett Mitchell up now for the Brewers just missed back door breaking ball just missed right there and boy umpire didn't give him the call I bet you if he throws it again hitter knows he's going to have to swing it and he takes it himself for the two outs face is empty and now the veteran catcher Gary [Applause] Sanchez right through there for a [Applause] strike the next offering misses and one and one two down nobody on and that's in the dirt tied up here in the early [Applause] going next pitch in for a strike it's two and [Applause] two got him swinging so they go quietly there we go to the bottom of inning number two All Tied 1-1 we head to the bottom of the second now it's Dominic Smith the first [Applause] Dom as he turns on the Rubber and with that good live arm delivers and that one a little below the knees and that's ball one and swinging a Miss there 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 we 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 that one ripped right center field that's a hit so a man on base to start the inning the third basement Santiago espol [Applause] a foul ball Smith gets his lead at first nobody [Applause] out to the right side and he picks it up in foul [Applause] territory righty to the plate and there's the ball one ball two strikes [Applause] to short could be two Adamas flips it for one and they turn the double play got what he was looking for on the M right there and his infielders took care of business pretty textbook execution between short and second to turn that into two [Applause] outs in now for the Reds will Benson grab off the middle that's a Bas hit so a two out Knock keeps the inning alive well cly he was ready to hit right there just kept it simple playing Pepper with the middle of the infield and took it back where it came from and there's just no one there to knock it down and now a chance to maybe get creative on offense with good speed on first India batting for the second time and that's strike one if it were an average catcher behind the plate I'd say take second base but but this isn't a catcher you want to run on his quick release is [Applause] unreal foul ball [Applause] there b one there O2 pitch that far out of the Zone gives the hitter a little confidence that maybe he can climb back into this ATB battling here as he fouls it [Applause] [Music] [Applause] away the one two swing and a miss for the strike out couldn't hit the fast ball at the knees so one left for Cincinnati score remains deadlocked at one [Applause] and welcome back to the ball on to the third inning here's the rookie third baseman Joseph Ortiz the pitch this to third whips it across one up one down the center field number 16 Blake Blake Perkins up now for the Brewers singy You' got to appreciate a guy who's this good defensively I mean watching him track balls in the Outfield it is beautiful fouled off left side and I would say that most great defensive outfielders it's kind of natural there is some work that you can do to it uh to improve your game but ultimately you either have it or you don't I'm sure he feels really good about that one he wasn't able to elevate it but he put a great hang on it right on time good balanced approach and just blasted it through the infield and now they've got some speed on first so we'll see if they try to get him into motion back to the top of the Milwaukee order this is Bryce terang and that one pulled foul there's one guy that I can think about Boo who started as a third baseman Alex Gordon and then became an elite perennial gold Glover out in left field for the Kansas City Royals but he's a guy when you watch him play you would imagine that that's all he ever played in his life was the Outfield and no one can get there to third lead Runner holds to third so two runners in scoring position and just one out wasting no time he's two for two now on the night and just a triple and home run away from the cycle seriously we're starting with this already [Applause] second and third one gone here's the left fielder Jackson Chio golden opportunity right here that one finds the Zone strike one second and third one away we're here in the top half of inning number three next off bring is in for a two pretty nasty sliders to get this hitter in an 02 count up there at the plate you got to look up in the zone and spit on anything that's down on the ground to short Del Cruz throws the first in time there for the out runner scores from [Applause] third next is the designated hitter William contras drove in a run with a sack fly his first time up and a good eye [Applause] [Music] [Applause] there on the ground to the left over to Smith that ends the inning and they limit the damage a run on two hits and they leave one we head now to the home half of inning number three it's the Brewers two and the Reds one ready to go for the last half of the inning and ready to hit now for Cincinnati Ellie D [Applause] Cruz the wi of the pitch that misses the zone and that is ball one [Applause] the short stop takes a ball the wide to kick the two- swing and a miss two balls one strike shut ground there that's through for a base H man of board on the leadoff single well patience and discipline paid off right there as he got into an advantage pretty tough for the infielders to do anything with that one he pulled it hard into the Outfield and even when you keep it on the ground it feels great when you hit a missile like that here's the Reds catcher Tyler Stevenson he doubled home a run at his first a that one outside and it's one and0 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 the Brewers leading by a run here the last half of the [Applause] [Music] [Applause] third and another ball to lay off that pitch down bottom of the zone and a called strike the two strikes may see some movement over there at first base trying to stay out of the double play right here at the belt fires just off the outside edge TJ Fredo in the on Deck Circle nobody out runner at first on the ground to third over to terang one on the Hoskins double play as former player watching 543 double plays brings back some adrenaline such an exciting play and it's always a great reminder of baseball being such a team sport now the Red's cleanup hitter TJ [Applause] fredel and first offer ring is fouled off [Applause] the wind in the pitch that misses one and [Applause] one worm burner into the outfield for a KN and that keeps the inning alive 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 the left field Spencer steer and a swinging to miss no ball one strike fredle the runner at first with two [Applause] gone run around the move pitch inside th that's a stolen base well with that kind of elite arm he has behind the plate man it's a pretty big deal when you can swipe a bag against this do maybe more than anything it prevents teams from just testing him thinking that they can even steal the base but right here they successfully moved that runner up the scoring position good [Applause] job hit hard on the ground to short Adamas the throw to first and that will end the inning so it's no runs two hits no errors and one man left three Innings complete it's the Brewers two and the Reds one and we're back John shy with Chris Singleton and set to lead off the fourth Rees Hoskins [Applause] hin junis back to work just missed and it's even up one ball one strike and the pitch that's the third and it finds its way through for AE so Runner a board to start the inning the B a way to slap that ball down the third basine that's really excellent back control and it kind of goes back to all those drills you see hitters do off the te where it's placed in different spots that just nice Willi Damas stands [Applause] in swing and a Tapper over to Smith that's the first out in the top of the four now the right digging in it's the Speedy outfielder Garrett Mitchell 0 for one so [Applause] far swing and a miss and he was fooled good late sink on that fast ball out of the hand looks so good and then by the time he gets in The Hitting Zone hard to get the ball to that one's in there and the count is 0 and two [Applause] and that's downstairs and outside one out and the runner at second top half of inning number [Applause] four good chase that [Music] time swings and misses couldn't hit the fast ball at the knee and Chris that's a way to neutralize his speed by keeping him off base 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 here's Gary Sanchez now he was a strikeout victim his first time on the ground right side he takes it to the bag and that'll do it so one hit is all they get we're Midway in the fourth it's the Brewers two and the Reds one back here in Cincinnati now it's the DH Ty FR and here it comes France goes 5' 11 in 25 lb and he's usually a first baseman but today he's the designated hitter and that one fouled off some people say that first basem kind of have the day off regularly because they don't run around the whole lot but when you think about it they are involved in just about every single play and there's a lot of stress that gets put on their legs so a well deserved day at the D Spot for it that was a well executed slider away for the strike out right there first two pitches filed up The Zone and got him ahead 02 in the count and at that point you can start expanding the zone as a pitcher made him Chase and got a quick strike out Dom Smith stands in and that one lifted in the air center field two away the third Bas number four now the third baseman Santiago espol [Applause] and first off ring is fouled off two outs grab ball up the middle it's through for a hit timing on the swing was good up the middle didn't up as much as he probably would have like that's a good approach paying off and now the right fielder will Benson that one catches the corner for a strike the Brewers up by a run we're here in the bottom of the fourth swing and a ball lined out toward Center makes the grab and that'll end the inning Reds leave one they're down two to one all set for the start of the inning here's the third basem Joseph or or and he deals swing and a miss strike one no ball ground ball left side over to Smith one away here in the fifth the offense needs to start showing some fight against this starter he's doing his thing out there they're going to have to push back at some point and make him work a little bit harder next for the Brewers Blake Perkins singled and scored his first time in there at the knees well you can't really adjust your game plan for that last pitch guy hasn't thrown it very much you got to focus on the stuff that he's throwing up there most of the time and that one fouled off Bas is empty one away and we're at the top of the fifth swings threw it and that's a strike down he's locked in at the plate when he's using the whole field he was out front there just needs to let the ball travel a little more and his timing will be back on track good pitch for the strikeout Bryce Terra up now for the [Applause] Brewers that one finds the Zone that's strike one 01 just missed two down nobody on swing and a pop off in foul gra DPS towards it huls it in to end the inning nobody left for Milwaukee but they still lead it two to one back here at Great American Ballpark we head to the bottom of the fifth here's the second baseman Jonathan India the right hter back to work close but called the ball ball [Applause] one just missed struggled a little bit in this one couple of strikeouts earlier but doing a much better job in miss it bat to get ahead and find a good hitter count at two and0 kicks and fires in there for a strike at the bottom of the Zone nasty two- slider there for a strike that tells you he's got a lot of confidence in that [Applause] pitch and the righty deals highfly ball out at the left center field no trouble here puts it away for the out and there's one down uz at the play Ellie D Cruz 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 right through there for a strike that one almost got him [Applause] one one down base is empty swing and a miss and that's strike two one ball two strikes gets a piece there we'll do it again home team down a run last half of inning number five back foot slider struck him out Chris third time through the order and a couple of quick outs for the starter yeah he's been very frugal today economical with the pitch count Tyler Stevenson now at the plate and that one is inside ball one [Applause] and the one0 B and another ball two out Bas is [Music] empty there's a [Applause] [Music] strike kick and it's foul [Applause] [Music] away fouled off again and it remains three and two two outs foul ball and it remains a Full Count good battle here about to be the eighth pitch of the evat B up the middle oh he gloves it gathers and throws and very nicely done for the out nobody left for Cincinnati and our score remains [Applause] 2-1 and welcome back to the ballpark top of the six in and here is Jackson Chio here comes a pitch edge of the zone for a strike going [Applause] one right through there for a strike tonight his slider has been really impressive I mean tight spin seems like the hitters aren't picking it up out of the hand got him looking and one Away really love the pitch sequ right there I'm telling you what pitcher and catcher on the same page right now so now here's the DH William contris he's over one well I got a chance to meet William during spring training as he was coming up trying to get to the big leagues and this kid's got some ridiculous pop watched him on the back fields taking batting practice all of his coaches would just kind of roll their eyes and say this kid's going to be great without actually saying the words then later that season I got a chance to to chat with Wilson big brother and ask him about little brother and he smiled as well said yeah he's good and gave me that look that I think he might be better than me eventually pretty Frugal guy he is very efficient with the pitch count in this one next offering is in for a strike that front door slider such a devastating pitch you don't want to get beat by the inside fast ball so you cheat a little bit and then by the time it gets there it's out of the Swing play swings and misses now two out and he'll be beating himself up on the way back to the Dugout got a pitch to hit and just couldn't get to it I think that slider really caught way more of the plate than it was supposed [Applause] to Hoskins the next to hit takes outside no strike next pitch misses outside and the count is two and0 two down nobody on and we're in the top half of the [Applause] sixth Off the Mark there all three rare three ball count here he's been throwing strikes all day got to be ready to hit if you're in the Box three-oh down the rander gives up the two out walk you know I think he's okay with that outcome it wasn't an intentional walk but he wasn't exactly trying to attack his own either runner at first with two away will Damas getting ready to hit and the first offering is not close activity in the bullpen for the Reds Tony sanon loosening up for manager d the Bell Martinez getting cranked up as well two outs no two [Music] count ripped to right base in throw stops the lead runner at second two on and two out right Gar so two on with two away up now for Milwaukee Garrett [Applause] Mitchell swing in a miss one one no balls one [Applause] stke two on two outs on the ground right side third out so it's no runs on a hit no errors and two are left to the bottom of the six we go 456 coming up it's the Brewers two and the Reds one well we go bottom six in now for the Reds TJ frle the pitch just off the outside edge movement in Milwaukee's Bullpen Tobias Meers appears to be getting loose Wilson also throwing the one and there's the strike [Applause] and the pitch and that one is inside two balls two [Applause] stri swings and misses struck him out well that's a blue zone right there or the cold Zone on the hitting TR just doesn't have much success in that part of the strike zone a really good job of the pitcher executing try to go there as often as you can the numbers are in your favor here's the left fielder Spencer steer he caught it behind his back and they get the [Applause] out the b number two designated [Applause] hitter Ty France the next to hit for the Reds right through there for a strike one down there's a swing in a Miss oh he's got to be pretty proud of this audience so far sometimes guys cow coming into a ballp park like this but he is attacked hitters pitching on the road like this is very impressive this has been a to watch next offering way off the plate home team down a run here in the bottom of the six gets a piece and stays alive hit on the ground to the right side and foul ball two down dolman on and now the count is even it's a good take that one in the dirt and the count is filled up wow this guy's really battling up there as if his run is the game-winning run I love his tenacity and he walked him it wasn't easy but he earned that walk after a long atent a great back and forth and that it B some really close pitches and somehow he found a way to keep the bat on the shoulder right there I'll tell you right now I couldn't done [Applause] [Music] it Smith up for the third time here watches that one miss well in this situation The Hitter knows that he's got to find a pitch that he can drive in order to drive in that tiing run all the way from first base so if he can't do that keep theine moving a walk or just a base hit but you got to stay within yourself no stri and that is in for a strike and a count to L one France off of first with two [Applause] away that one fouled off two and [Applause] two b and a miss and that is that no runs on no hits no errors and one left seventh inning coming up it's the Brewers two and the Reds one welcome back we're in the seventh we have a new pitcher on the M Cony sanon pretty tight game they're looking for Quality pitches out of them right here got to do his best to keep the score right where it is well one run game Gary Sanchez now Gary [Applause] Sanchez the pitch that misses ball one Santiago a 6-3 righty he features a four seam fast ball a slider and he works in a change up just [Applause] missed one misses and it's three and0 so definitely a little wild right out of the gate well could be a little coming from the bullpen mound to this mound but you've got to find a way to get ahead in the count quickly he has it we'll see how this at bat turns out and he walked him on four pitches next for Milwaukee Joseph Ortiz his July and August splits there [Applause] [Applause] that one fouled off runner at first with no outs here fouled off he was late o and two now swings through that one it's a strike out well that right there is just a pitcher pitch tailing away from The Hitter blowing away with some good action at the end you know even if he gets the back to that ball it's probably just a weak ground ball to the opposite side tell you what that's a tremendous two strike pitch so up next Blake Perkins one for [Applause] two and a foul ball [Applause] and the pitch right down to shoot and it's only two 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 fights that one away and the count remains 0 and [Applause] [Music] two got him and there's two away back to the top of the lineup here's the lead off man for the Brewers rice Terra [Applause] and that one hit to first he takes it himself to the bag and that'll do it first strand one they lead it 2-1 we're back in a new pitcher here to start the bottom of the seventh Tobias Myers these are the spots relievers really make a name for themselves late and close there's not much margin for error but at the same time there's a reason they're put in these situations now the third Bas Santiago espinol the third [Applause] Bas down one inside and that's ball [Applause] one in the air right field and that's a fair ball well that was an important bat in this game so great job there stepping up to the challenge really nice job staying inside with his hands to fight off that pitch man that cutter was bearing in on him but he found a way to stay with his approach didn't spin off it and hit it Prett well no outs runner at first now it's the right fielder will Benson late with the swing there1 [Applause] [Applause] that one p out clearly hoping he could get a swing and Miss on that but doesn't P The Hitter with that breaking ball nice job just couldn't keep it fair and he'll chw good eye on that spot definitely got the hitter conscious of the pitch inside really think the outer half is open that one misses and the counts even to [Applause] two leftand hitter Waits goes down looking a big strike out right there and maybe a little controversial I think he got a little bit of favor on the mound no question about it it's not exactly what you want to see in a big spot like that and I'm sure there's some chirping going on from The Dugout making it clear that wasn't his best call behind the plate today so back to the top of the Reds lineup now it's the second baseman Jonathan India and that's in there at the knees for a strike with the tying run on at first here the bottom of the seven next pitch is [Applause] outside righty to the plate so now one and two clearly was sitting on a fast right there it just ended up out in front of the slider hey you can't fault him for his commitment now he's just going to have to battle with two strikes foul ball still a one and two count one run game one out one [Applause] on swing and a miss struck him out well interesting he's looking very comfortable out of the stretch after giving up the lead off single back to back strikeout so they haven't been able to move that get him in scoring position and try to have a better chance of scoring I tell you good job so far on the mound he just needs one more out Ellie de Cruz the next to hit for the Reds and things could change quickly here with one swing right now they're looking for something hit hard into the gaps give them an opportunity with two outs to score that run from first [Applause] sharp grounder that's through for base Hill throw in holds the lead runner at second two on now with je a really nice game late got the top of the ball a little bit but not much that was pretty hard through the field so I think he be happy with that swing definitely generated some good bat speed now a pretty big at bat coming up with a chance to even this ball game up so first and second with two outs Tyler Stevenson the next to hit for the Reds one for [Music] three F back ourway and that's out of [Applause] play so the tying run at second that's in there o and two [Applause] swing in a Miss struck him out inning over that's a crucial missed opportunity red strand a couple and they Trail it here two to one back here in Cincinnati now the number two hitter Jacks Chio [Applause] Santio back to work there's a [Applause] strike and the next pitch is way [Applause] outside at the belt and fires popped up to the left into foul ground espol drifts towards it squeezes it and there's one [Applause] down up next to Milwaukee the William contr up now for the Brewers he is talented player his big brother Wilson has voiced that his little brother may end up being better than he is that pitch in for a strike it's 0 and [Applause] one swings through that one out in front that time swings through for the Kay slider got him for strike three nice doubled up with the slider for that punch out the one before just caught the zone so as a hitter you have to protect right there great pitch to just expand a little bit more he got that chase he was looking for that right there is good pitching he swings and fouls one off two down nobody on and we're the top of the eighth in for his with two down this has been a real important inning in Rel I mean so far they' doing a great job holding that deficit at one and a pitch foul ball left side he'll see [Applause] another two outs outside low now one and two really nice slider right there sweeping across the dish but just couldn't hit hang the [Applause] edge on and miss him out and good work there as he gets a one two three Brewers go down quietly as they're unable to add to their 2-1 lead Joe Ross taking over on the mound he doesn't get a lot of strikeouts compared to other relievers so he relies on getting that soft contact and the defense doing work behind him they'll have to be in their toes with him on the bump well one run game here's the center fielder TJ freed the L of the pitch that immediately pumps in a strike to the left-handed hitter activity in the bullpen for the Brewers Devin Williams the closer of the staff is throwing pay a hard throwing rander up as well looking to get the tying run on base that one finds the zone and it's nothing in two checks his swing now appeal to third ah and he punches him out he went around pretty big strike out right there to start this eighth inning down one any lead off base runner really makes this inning a bit more interesting but now this offense has to switch from possibly trying to manufacture a run to need to run into something or just try to string multiple hits together to get R across the plate steer in the box now take strike [Applause] one and he takes one right on the black and a count is 0 and two and just misses with that one man oh man I don't know how you take that pitch that's as close As It Gets puts and misses it's a strike out very strong coming out of the pin so far as he punches out the first two batters he's faced in this one getting straight to work man it's talked about a lot but relever are just so electric these days these aren't fun at bats if you're a hitter I'm so glad I'm retired now it's the Reds DH Ty France this one high in the air to left Center Perkins sizing this one up makes the grab and that's the inning we're back it's the top of the nine and there's a new pitcher on the M Nick Martinez just trying to keep this one close here and this is where a bullpen can give their players a chance to fight back into the game well one run game Willie Adamas up now for the Brewers the pitch and that one is in for a [Applause] [Music] [Applause] strike next offering is downstairs lined and that's a base hit and the lead off man aboard that's backto back singles for him just a solid swing right there caught it out front and ripped it into the outfield for the base hit those always feel [Applause] great so digging in Garrett Mitchell Corner infielders up on the grass expecting a bunt Bunting and he pops it up Martinez makes the play and they almost caught him but he's back in [Applause] time Gary [Applause] Sanchez now move to First Adamas back on a dive [Applause] and that's off the Inside Edge one and0 a swing and a miss and that's strike one one one run game here at the top of the ninth [Applause] [Music] [Applause] and another [Applause] ball swing in a miss and he's down on strikes two away now Joseph Ortiz up now for the Brewers oh0 for three with two ground outs and a strike out in the air left field steer makes the catch and that is that so no runs here on a base hit no errors and one left bottom part of the order 789 two up in inning number nine it's the Brewers two and the Reds one back now as they hand the ball to a fresh arm to start the bottom of the N Devin Williams I think closer has to be one of the toughest jobs in baseball we see a pretty high turnover rate because of it every outing seems to be high pressure this one included we'll see if he can wrap up the win and get himself a save and here it comes and he lays down a bu not in time he legs it out this is a big part of his skill set and he puts himself into situations where he can rely on his speed to impact the ball game and this is just another example of it and we'll see what else he can do now that he's on first here's the third baseman Santiago espo and there's no doubt that they'll feed off the energy from this crowd right I mean yeah I'd say the intensity level has gone up a few notches for [Applause] sure I love this part of the game does he really want to try and steal second against this catcher I know he's fast but it's pretty [Applause] risky one run game bottom nine and strike two yeah you can see just kind of stabbed at that one instead of just keeping his hands soft and absorbing the baseball with the bat [Applause] to third can't glove it cleanly not in time he's safe that that had a lot lining on it certainly a purp swing of the bat in this ball game now that sets up a huge of B in this ball game substitution being made at first and here's the pinch Runner Greese hind with the tying run and scoring position in the bottom of the ninth next for Cincinnati will Benson that one misses and that's ball one all 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 keep so the tying run at second just missed could be some action here on this next pitch couple Runners on probably a challenge pitch coming great through there for a strike two one [Applause] and fouled off nobody out both the tying and winning runs on base strike three got him swinging and that is a big first out so the batting order turns over Jonathan India next to hit for the Reds 0 for four with three strikeouts and a fly [Applause] out swing and a miss and it's on and one had a tough day at the plate three strikeouts already it's hard not to think negative but you got to find a way to somehow Center up the baseball and put it in play righty delivers fou back ourway and that's out of play [Music] two on one out and that one's a little bit low and it's one and two 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 [Applause] pitch now one out to right and that'll fall for a base hit Runner around third on his way to the late he'll score an En Tire it's 22 huge moment for him and his team Bo you know some guys just grip it a bit too tight in a big spot like this having a chance to tie it up in the bottom of the night but he didn't let the moment get to him comes up with the RBI knock Bry Wilson into the game he's been so good against left [Applause] Ellie De La Cruz the next to hit for the Reds now one missed one ball no [Applause] strike the winning run and third we're in the last half of the ninth inning and a pitch out but nothing going on [Applause] and the pitch that's off the mark and that's ball three this situation he's trying to get you to pop something up or Jam you it's a really good take knowing you got an opportunity to drive in a run here let's see if he gives him anything to hit here or he walked in and that keeps things going that sets up a really big in this game these are the moments when everyone in the stadium gets really locked in next to hit Tyler Stevenson chop left side down the line and it's foul [Applause] Feld two fights it off he'll see [Applause] another and the right-hander deals keeps the back going with a foul ball I think ultim Ely 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 and a foul ball he stays [Applause] alive gets a piece and it stays on and two right hander kick deals foul ball it stays nothing in two back and forth we go a seesaw battle in the late stages of this one next pitch is outside well I think he's trying to get a feel for where that one missed I mean it could have gone either way but he looked a little shocked for a second [Applause] there that's foul off to the right side keeps the ab going I don't know how this is bad in but I'll be sad when it does so much fun watching this thing go back and [Applause] forth L Drive Bas hit that'll good it the winning run presses the pl and the Reds Mar it off and Win It 32 well you're coming to the ninth inning down first you're looking to tie it they did that but then they got the extra to put themselves on top these players knew exactly what it was going to take to win this ball game I love it when you see a team find a way to win and that's what they did today [Applause] 32 the final score for Chris Singleton and our entire crew here at MLB the Show thanks for stopping by I'm John chambie talk to you soon for
