A moment. It is for the Angels organization with their top prospect headed to the mound today, Kate and Dana, the blonde hair flowing out the back of his cap. The big 6 ft four right hander goes up against the Mariners. Today has been incredible since joining the Mariners, but he lifts this one off the end of his bat to right. Joe Adell is there and Ken Dana has his first out in the big league in the big league. That first out he is 20 years and 259 days old pop up to right field. Another one for Joe Adell and Dana two up, two down in the first and the first two Seattle batters go on fly balls to Joe Ad and the next hitter will be their catcher Cal Raley and Dana number 36 getting his first major league strikeout as he punches out. Cal Raley, a 123 innings for Hayden Dana. So he does a nice job in his first major league inning Bryce Miller going to get the start 10 and seven record, a 323. a this will be his 27th start on the year. 143 strikeouts over 30 three walks. Taylor Ward leads things off. Taylor Ward hits one in the air left center field. It's carrying Rodriguez. He's out, he could not make the catch. It's a home run Taylor Ward leads it off and the Angels have a 10 lead. You always got to hold your breath with Julio Rodriguez. I'll tell you what, when he's done playing baseball, he's going to be an incredible actor because he's done that before bringing him back. He always have you waiting for a while. Julio Rodriguez likes to fool around out there in center field and he was doing it again. You weren't exactly sure if he caught that one or not. So Neto draws the walk one on and that will bring up first baseman Nolan. That's pretty squared up. Julio definitely has this one strong throw back in. Get the runner over at first one on one out, one in bottom of the first. That'll bring up third baseman Anthony Rendon. Getting to reach for a breaking ball would be Polanco fighting the sun wins the battle two down and that will bring up left fielder Kevin Polari. Next offer, swing and a fly ball straight away center field shallow Julio racing in on the run he's there and he makes the basket catch waist high and that will retire the side getting the start at first base today. 16 home runs on the air he is second on the ball club in that category might have one right here. That thing is way gone. Way good. Scored 11 big thunder with his 17th home run RB I number 44. He only had to hear that one, let alone watch it. I mentioned it was good to see Luke in the lineup today. Old 1 0 9 437 ft has been struggling and he chops one right to netto easy play and the throw is in time and the inning is over but Seattle gets a run on the home run by luke Raley. It's a 11 ball game, one out base runner and matt the next hitter and the 22 pitch breaking ball strike three called on the inside corner, Bryce Miller with his first strikeout of the afternoon. He gets nice looking. So two outs for the Angels here in the bottom half of the second , the young right handers 2 to 2 to Adele swing and a fly ball. Left field. Randy Rose Arena going back back pedals near the one track he's there. He's got the room and he makes the catch and that will retire the side. We go to the top of the third inning here in Anaheim, Kate and Dana making his major league debut at the ripe age of 20 years old. He faces josh Rojas to begin the top of the third inning swinging , it's laced out to left field pillar racing after it can't get there, it bounces right over the short wall on a hop and left. It's a ground rule double to begin the third inning for josh Rojas run in scoring position right away. Here's Leo R the runner over productive out by Leo takes it to the back so you get a runner. Third one out can and Dana does not eat at restaurants. No, no meatballs for him through his minor league career. He has traveled with a portable grill infield is in here is Robles Rojas at third. Here's the pitch swinging a high fly ball out to right field. It sends Adele to the base of the warning track plenty deep to bring home Rojas from third base. It's a go ahead sacrifice fly and that productive out from Rivas pays up for the Mariners. It's 2 to 1 top of the order for the Angels. Taylor Ward. He homered to begin the Angels first inning. Good feel for that breaking ball nicely done. Strikeout number two for Bryce Miller one down here in the third. Not nobody on Mariners lead at bottom of the third, the next pitch check swing and he goes around. Netto knew it. No argument there back to back strikeouts from Bryce Miller to open up the bottom of the third that brings up Anthony Rendon pitch number seven to Rendon swinging it slugged out to left field. This sends Rosa into the corner. A Rosa with a leap and he makes the catch right in front of the short wall in left field by the foul pole. That was scary for a moment. One out in the batter will be Jorge Polanco bounced out to Drury his first time. There's a slow bouncer to Drury sets himself for throw to second. That's one over the missed the tag, at least that's how the umpire saw it. Blanco safe for. now. At first, you would think the tag or not to me, like, got him , but we'll see if the Angels can find a replay that matches that. And they do that pocket there too. That's part of the UN. That's part of the uniform if you have it out, it's the old mel hall used to have the batting gloves out. I think he did t some of the back pants as well, but he definitely has the, the field is overturned. Runners out, a little sloppily dressed having that back pocket sticking out cost him the final out of the inning is a success story for the Angels player development staff. And for the GM Perry who drafted Dana Homen players in there today. Swing going to miss strike three second strikeout for K and Dana , we've seen a pitch called a cutter a couple of times here today and that was one to strike out. Raley back to back, two out, walks 22 out as Robles will bat. Here's the next pitch and there's a swing and a miss got him with the breaking ball, struck him out and that's how the inning will now will be Taylor lift one to left, backing up Rosa over his head as a one off the wall in left field ####s for second base. He has his second extra base hit today did to blitz the baseball , it's a one out double base hit could give the Angels the lead runners on 2nd and 3rd for Anthony Rendon. It is off the glove of the left center field. Ward scores so does and the Angels are in front 3 to 22 runs score off the ball. The glove of two RB I single for the rookie making his major league debut. Ken Dana has a 32 lead to work with. We head to the sixth inning and that's in their strike three called a break on that one back door cutter back up. Cutter. Here's Polanco now with two outs in the at first and he swings at this one. Lifts it in the air to right center. Adle is coming over, he'll make the catch and the inning is over. Walk to remember for K and Dana with the Angel faithful giving him a standing ovation following six strong innings in his big league debut. What a job. I love that. The reaction you get goosebumps thinking about that can tie this game up now, 3 to 2 Angels, two outs runner at second top of the seventh inning and here it comes and he just got him looking, took a on the outside corner and that's how the inning will end. Now, the Mariners have randy on at first julio on at second two on two outs, 32 angels top of the eighth. And here is Jorge Polanco with a chance to tie things up or give the Mariners a lead fastball in on the hands popped up shallow center Modis there inning over to fitting that. The young closer Ben Joyce will have a chance to save it for Kate and Dana to get his first big league win base hit. Luke Raley didn't waste any time. Get on it. Mariners have the tying run on now. They will be coming in with a pinch hitter and getting ready to dig in is JP Crawford one hopper right to first shot on the back for one throw to second and he's out a double play check that right away. If he slides, he's in easy standing up. Why in the world did he not slide? And he's out, he's out. He is out. He didn't slide. Can't make that mistake. If you're Raley in a game, the Mariners really need Mariners are down to their final out in this ball game. Rojas is the batter, strike three, say good night to the Mariners. Ben Joyce, a scoreless ninth inning saves the first big league win for Dana
