🔴LIVE NOW! Texas Rangers vs Los Angeles Angels - Sep 7, 2024 MLB Full Game - MLB 24 EN VIVO

so just about set now and on the mound in this one Nathan evaldi safe to say he's pretty stingy Chris well this guy's just been filthy out there on the mound hitters batting under 200 against him and they're just having a hard time squaring up anything doing any type of damage the only way he hurts himself is if he gives up the free passes and surrenders a rare home run but outside of that it's going to be a tough job for the opposing lineup today and the right-hander deals that missed that's a ball little Chopper rolls foul one and two now and that skips in dirt [Music] this one in the air center field no trouble here puts it away for the out one away all right let's take a look at the Angels lineup this has been a good productive lineup so far this year currently ranking among the better teams in terms of total hits and runs per game well you know this lineup sees it as very important to put the ball in play boo I mean this is an age where strikeouts are up so so high and players are swinging and missing going for the fences but if you can increase that contact rate you can be a dangerous Club you get more Runners on base and then all of a sudden when that big swing comes through you're plating more runs so we'll see if this pitcher can get some soft contact let the defense work behind her that hanging breaking ball looks so juicy to The Hitter and nothing more frustrating when you miss that pitch and you pop out he's going to have to think about that till his next ADV bat trying to pick up his first knock in the big Le leagues that one's upstairs ball one and that is ball [Music] [Applause] one and that's in for a strike two out space is [Applause] empty and a popup on the left side of the infield in position and he makes the catch and that'll do it Angels nothing Rangers coming to B it's Major League Baseball on the show back at Globe Life field and getting the call here Griffin canning what do we have on him 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 year it seems that they have a hard time picking up his release point and tracking the ball into the zone so we'll see how right-handers do against him in this one and the matter will be the short stop Josh Smith looking for his first big league hit right here that immediately pumps in a strike to the left-handed hitter [Music] and that one is [Music] inside bunting for a hit he's safe on with a bunt single Josh Smith with his first major league hit and this is a moment I'm sure he'll never forget congrats yeah great moment for him and his family a guy works so hard and has to wait so long for this to happen and when it does can kind of be overwhelming dude you still have to stay locked in on the game but it's great when you could take a minute to just appreciate what you've done and how hard you work to get here and here is Wyatt [Applause] Langford first pitch and he just misses Smith on at first nobody out and that's outside ball [Applause] two and here it comes [Music] swing in a Miss as he was out front two and two the count SL Drive Neto off balance feed there's one on the first in time double play that very fast develop play right there no margin for error nice double play on a fast runner up the [Music] line Nathaniel low up to hit right side Adele makes the catch and that is the third out of the inning we head to the second in Arlington no score back in Arlington second inning set to go and now the veteran third baseman Anthony randone randone goes 6' one 33 years old a former first round pick back in 2011 just missed right through there for his strike well we call that keyho holding 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 our umpire behind the plate Jerry Hillsdale High Praise for Jerry when we talk to people around the game yeah no doubt about it boo he's very straightforward very consistent back there so most of the time you're not even going to think about him it's a good thing this hitter's looking for a fast ball but I'm not sure he's going to get one pitcher doesn't have to challenge him if he feels better about his off speed secondary stuff and stay with it ground ball the middle that's a base hit so a man on base to start the inning Anthony randone with his first major league hit and this is a moment I'm sure he'll never forget congrats yeah great moment for him and his family a guy works so hard and has to wait so long for this to happen and when it does can kind of be overwhelming boo you still have to stay locked in on the game but it's great when you could take a minute to just appreciate what you've done and how hard you work to get here now at the plate Mickey [Applause] moniac and that one fouled [Music] off second inning here no score [Applause] leftand hitter Waits that one missing inside and there's the ball it's a good take here comes a pitch spoils that one and it remains two and two nobody out runner at first foul ball another two two upcoming that one to First Durant gets it to first as the pitcher brings it in for the out and the runner advances to Second that's a good piece of hitting right there the job was to move the runner up and give your team a chance to score the goahead Run that's exactly what happens so you better believe your teammates are happy with you after that ATB Logan oh stands in now looks at that one inside as a veteran out there on the ball you're trying to establish both edges of the plate right here he's working inside the pitch it's the slider in there for a strike the Angels looking to strike first here the top of the second next pitches outside 21 and that's in for a [Applause] strike two two now and another ball Bo he never moved cuz he never had time to with that kind of velocity you'd prefer that pitcher work away Line Drive gets down base hit into third now so Runners at the corners and one out Logan OHA with his first major league hit and this is a moment I'm sure he'll never forget congrats yeah great moment for him and his family a guy works so hard and has to wait so long for this to happen and when it does do can kind of be overwhelming boo you still have to stay locked in on the game but it's great when you could take a minute to just appreciate what you've done and how hard you work to get here so one out with two a board Brandon jury to the plate swing and a drive deep left field lenford on the Move racing back pulls it in on the warning track run tagging from third in comes the first run of the game as The Angels Take the Lead definitely didn't get all of that one but man the win almost pushed it over the fence and left here's Joe Adell right through there for a strike ohy leads off first with two down to the inning little bit low [Music] to the right side that gets by HIM lead Runner around second throw into third and the throws offline safe at third Joe Adell with his first major league hit and this is a moment I'm sure he'll never forget congrats yeah great moment for him and his family a guy works so hard and has to wait so long for this to happen and when it does can kind of be overwhelming boo you still have to stay locked in on the game but it's great when you could take a minute to just appreciate what you've done and how hard you worked to get [Music] here and here is Nico [Applause] kavadas and that's a little bit high and it's w to know and that's in the dir two on two outs and that one lifted in the air center field Taris settles under squeezes it and that's the third out one run in the inning but they leave two now to the bottom of the second it's the Angels one and the Rangers nothing and welcome back to the ballpark and now adolis Garcia Canon back to work and a foul [Music] ball next pitch is downstairs one and one wouldn't chase that time the only adjustment he needs to make is his Target if you aim at the outside corner that slider's going to end up way off the plate perhaps look a little more down the middle and you get it right where you want it heading down the line Adele on the Run couldn't get to it before it dropped foul next offering down low and in the [Applause] dirt the pitch in the air here to left [Applause] Center and Garcia is out and there's one down Fatt F the third basem here's Josh [Applause] Young right through there for a strike throughout history the fastball down has been the most successful pitch guys can handle little a little bit better these days but they of course still prefer something belt High one down base is empty and takes low for ball one too close for me partner to take that 02 fast ball but for whatever reasons he Let It Go by he's still in the atat I don't think he'll let the next one go swings and misses two gone now and that's the first strike out of his major league career and it could be the first of many if he meets the goals he set for himself and the expectations others have for him he doesn't want to just win games he wants to dominate at this level do you think Young pitchers can sometimes get too caught up in trying to rack up PS early in their career Bo I think they can it's kind of like a hitter that doesn't have power The Thrill is still hitting a ball over the fence and so for a guy even if he doesn't have power stuff or strikeout stuff a strikeout is still something that makes him stick his chest out a little bit further two down nobody on the other way play made that ends the inning nothing doing for the Rangers still behind by a count of one to nothing and we're back all set for the start of the inning and the batter now Taylor Ward and there's one thing on his mind this at bat getting that first hit at the Big League level and the right hter back to work there's a strike it's 0 and one outside and that's ball one and another ball good eye an [Music] next that one misses so lead off walk well he tried to nibble right there and just missed his spot hitter didn't offer at it now he has somebody to worry about over it first so in now for the Angels Zach Netto first time up was a pop out foul ball there Ward gets his lead at first nobody out comes up empty that strike [Applause] two got it by him for the K just overmatched on that fastball right there and it wasn't like he was set up for it by something off speed earlier in the attack just came right after him with three straight and he had no answer for it Nolan shanell the next to hit for the Angels he's over one nice curveball for a [Applause] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] strike and the Fields just misses with that one pretty standard High 02 fast right there if you're smart you look for something down in the zone but not too far don't want to chase that breaking ball in the dirt got him swinging couldn't catch up to the heater we're going to take a look at the pitch sequence of that at bad and the thing to notice are the pitch locations every single one of them on the edges of the strike zone and as a hitter that can be pretty frustrating because you don't expect the pitcher to be able to make quality pit pitches one after another like that so those are tough spots to do damage in a great demonstration of pitch command and it got him a punch out that [Music] [Applause] time randone stands in now and watches strike one pitch in the dirt one and [Applause] one right-hander kicks deals outside corner there's a strike goes down swinging for the strike out slider got him for strike Three Angels leave one but they still lead it one nothing back at Globe Life Field set for the bottom of the third and now here is leot tarz the wine of the pitch that's a little bit low bounc to the right side throws the first one gone bottom of the third inning the second Ezekiel so next to hit for Texas Ezekiel Durant good Defender he's been inconsistent offensively that Clips The Zone and that's strike one oh just a submit mixer slider right there it's a great pitch to hit if you can recognize it early and jump on it next offering way upstairs one down base is empty that one ripped Ward going back on this one can't get there and now maybe extra bases into second with a double and they've got something Brewing now Ezekiel Durant with his first major league hit and this is a moment I'm sure he'll never forget congrats yeah great moment for him and his family a guy works so hard and has to wait so long for this to happen and when it does can kind of be overwhelming D you still have to stay locked in on the game but it's great when you could take a minute to just appreciate what you've done and how hard you work to get here Travis Janowski stepping in for the Rangers Outfield playing pretty shallow that one the other way and that's a fair ball they're waving around Duran and now it gets into the corner he'll score and the Rangers tie the game it's 1-1 so he gets two Milestones with that hit his first big league knock and he drives in his first run as well yeah you love to get both of those out of the way with just one swing of the bat and it makes the special moment even more special it's not just an individual accomplishment when you're also driving in a run for your team that's an IT bat he's never going to forget so the lineup flips over Josh Smith now at the plate canning checks the runner and he's back in [Applause] [Music] there bounced and that got the pitcher and they get the out after the Ricochet and now the hustle out to check on him that was quite a shot he took as you see him down on the knee yeah clearly in some real pain but he will not want to come out of this game if he doesn't have to it's looking to me like he's going to try to shake it off and continue Wyatt Langford stepping in for the Rangers he hit to a double play his first time up and this is a big opportunity for him to pick up his teammate right here [Applause] ball one and a pitch inside right field down the line and that one slices foul two outs just a really nice slider down and in there he wants to get the hitter thinking f fast ball speed him up and just subtract some velocity and add a little move it and a pitch goes down looking a lot of adrenaline we can see it right there and sometimes you just got to let it out that's an outstanding job of taking that executing and getting out of a tough inning Mickey monia the next to hit for the [Music] Angels the right hander back to work sh you know these Angels doing a great job boo of just waiting for the right pitch to come their way and I'm seeing very patient at bats out of him he's only giving up one run but the starter pitch count is starting to get up there and that might be the best news yet for this offense that one missed 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 there's the [Applause] strike the wine in the pitch that one lifted to left Lanford under it and makes the grab one down the catcher number 14 here's the Angels catcher Logan OHA one for one with a single so [Music] far first pitch doesn't find The [Applause] [Music] [Applause] Zone one down base is empty swings through that one it's a strike out definitely made him chase a little bit out of his own right there I don't think that's a strike if he takes it pretty textbook pitching get ahead in the count get the guy in the Box on his heels and then force him to chase your pitch where he doesn't have much of a chance to do any damage swinging a foul straight back [Music] the pitch he swings and fouls one off foul ball still o and two all tied up top half of inning number four and A swinging a miss and that's that and the angels are gone in order score remains deadlocked at one ready to go bottom four here's Nathaniel low first the pitch and immediately pumps in a strike to the left-handed hitter well he's been incredibly efficient in this one first pitch strike percentage over 70% that's well above League average and that's what's allowed him to pitch well up into this point that one way inside you can see was trying to stay back long enough to handle the off speed pitch but just a little Tardy on the fast ball kick sand swing and a miss and he struck him out and one gone to the fourth as they get the lead off man oh really went aggressive in with that slider good two- strike pitch right there at worst case scenario it's weak contact in play exactly where where he and the catcher wanted it adolis Garcia stepping in for the Rangers 0 for one with a fly out to Center that pitch in for a strike going [Applause] one and that's downstairs and outside one out base is [Applause] empty that one fouled off and now it's even up right side Drury tosses to First and Garcia is out oh he's doing a nice job of keeping the ball out of the air lets the defense work behind him with another ground ball good execution up next for the Rangers Josh Young struck out swinging his first time and that one sliced foul two down nobody on and that one wrapped [Music] foul righty to the plate good job to fight that one off two outs puts and misses it's a strike out so no runs no hits no errors and no one left we played Four All Tied 1-1 new inning getting started so in now for the Angels Joe Adele Adell ivaldi back to work popped up settles under it he's got it and a quick out number one that was a good pitch to hit right down the heart of the plate had pretty good timing on it just got underneath it a little bit and popped it up so up next nio kavadas he's over for [Music] one he's been going after these guys consistently and as a result he's been able to keep his pitch count low throwing the ball very well right now next offering is in for a strike this game has been so tight feels like the next team to score will win it the one- one hit hard on the ground to short over to low and the first two set down in the top of the fif Taylor Ward the next to hit for the angels in the air foul off first and that is that Angels go down one two three score remains tied 1-1 and welcome back to the ballpark and now the switch in and catcher Jonah Heim this is a guy who is very highly regarded defensively fun to watch him control stuff behind the plate Good Game caller good at framing but it's that big arm that really stands out that one inside and that's ball one yeah and because he's got the big armm he pays attention to the running game game and is sure to manage it there's a strike you have a catcher that can throw like that a pitcher doesn't have to worry as much about the slid step he can keep his mechanics intact and have a better opportunity of getting that hitter out with a swing and miss and the pitch F back ourway and that's out of play and ball count lifted in the air now the left side that one gets down for a hit so a runner aboard to start the inning Jonah Heim with his first major league hit and this is a moment I'm sure he'll never forget congrats yeah great moment for him and his family a guy works so hard and has to wait so long for this to happen and when it does can kind of be overwhelming boo you still have to stay locked in on the game but it's great when you can take a minute to just appreciate what you've done and how hard you work to get here here's leoi [Applause] Taris that one's in there and it's O and one [Applause] Shar grounder that's through for a base hit throw back in quickly first and second now with nobody out leot toz with his first major league hit and this is a moment I'm sure he'll never forget congrats yeah great moment for him and his family a guy works so hard and has to wait so long for this to happen happen and when it does can kind of be overwhelming boo you still have to stay locked in on the game but it's great when you could take a minute to just appreciate what you've done and how hard you worked to get here first and second no outs Ezekiel Duran will hit next and that drops in for a strike first and second no outs last half of inning number five and that one fouled off and that's too high oh he missed badly with that O2 fast ball hitter has to understand probably wants to try to put him away with that pitch so got to stay ready for it swing and and a ball lifted left field and there's one away the right fielder number 16 Travis jski so digging in Travis Janowski he doubled home a run at his first AB he's someone that you might not describe as having Elite level speed but he can absolutely move and it is a factor in his game Bo this guy's definitely a plus Runner but what I'd love about him is that he goes all out every single time never takes a break guys like that even though they don't have the Elite Speed the fact that they're consistent with it they make moves on the base passs and now the oan it's in there in the dirt one and two the count he's looking for a ground ball to get a double play and out of this Jam that one hit to right Adele sizing this one up he's got it and there's two away yeah that was a wasted RBI opportunity but competitor like him he is looking forward to making up for it in his next at bat so the Rangers batting order turns over here's the short stop at the play Josh Smith right through there for a strike H the lead Runner out at second to Varys at first two out of the inning next offering is in for a strike oh and two and he deals swings through it and that's a strike out a couple of hits in the inning but they can't get him home we're through five All Tied 1-1 all right we go to the top half of inning number six now the number two hitter Zack Netto as he turns on the Rubber and with that good live arm delivers there's the strike you know these angels need to bring up the quality of their bats and specifically their swings just one extra base hit for them so they haven't exactly been hitting the ball Gap to Gap or out of the park that makes it really difficult to generate [Music] runs and that's off the Inside Edge now one and two strike C out and miss stropped him out one away I mean there aren't many curveballs in the sport today that break like that thing does huge movement it's so difficult to get on the same plane and even think about squaring it up let alone get a piece and hope he throws something else to keep the bat alive at the play Nolan shanell and that one Clips the corner base is empty one away and we're the top half of the sixth just a weak Fly ball this time no trouble here puts it away for the out two up two Downy Anthony renol making his way to the plate and that's outside ball one swings through that one it really looks like these hitters have been in between with their timing today good fast ball excellent slider but they've not been able to commit to one velocity and stay there and a two1 on the way po foul out of play off to the right that one 95 missed up top three balls two strikes outside and that is ball four one of the things about that two out walk the base runner over at first base is going to have a very aggressive secondary lead so ball down the line or into the Gap will produce a two out RBI and those are the best that is if you are the offensive side of it monia at the play for the third time as he comes up empty there ball one there swinging a foul back that's out of play he goes down looking so no runs no hits no errors and one left on two three4 do up in the home half of the six all tied 1-1 bottom of the six here's the left fielder Wyatt Langford w l pitch and that's in for a strike well these Rangers finding ways to get on base but they still need help driving them home they only have one hit with runners in scoring position so a lot of squ opportunities it's tough because those are moments you just can't get back just off the outside part of the plate PS and misses it's a strike out well there's a small side of relief right there I mean just to keep that speed off the base paths it's not just the pitcher it's other guys that have to think about it from your infielders have to think about that Runner potentially stealing but also being position to make a play as an outfielder you're thinking about a base hit to the Outfield I got to get to it quickly to try to keep this guy from taking an extra base so I think everyone just a little more relaxed that he didn't reach [Applause] base and a pitch fought off foul swing and a ground ball up the middle that's a base hit so man aboard now with one [Applause] away Nathaniel low with his first major league hit and this is a moment I'm sure he'll never forget congrats yeah great moment for him and his family a guy works so hard and has to wait so long for this to happen and when it does can kind of be overwhelming D you still have to stay locked in on the game but it's great when you can take a minute to just appreciate what you've done and how hard you worked to get here now here's the Rangers DH adolis [Applause] Garcia and that's off the Inside Edge one and0 with the goahead run at first here in the bottom of the six that one finds the zone and it's one and one swinging a foul over the screen and back out of play with two strikes may see some movement over there at first base trying to stay out of the double play right here foul ball still a one and two count kicks and fires stays [Music] alive that one is absolutely belted that's down one hops Off the Wall headed for the plate he will score in the Rangers Take the Lead it's two to one so he gets two mil with that hit his first big league knock and he drives in his first run as well yeah you love to get both of those out of the way with just one swing of the bat and it makes the special moment even more special it's not just an individual accomplishment when you're also driving in a run for your team that's an it bad he's never going to forget [Applause] one out runner at second stepping in Josh Young that to right Adele on the Run makes the catch up against the wall in foul territory rer tags it second and he's up to third safely with two long theer number [Applause] 2 and here's the catcher Jonah Heim one for two this is a guy who's in line of first and foremost because of what he contributes defensively Chris and when you talk about preventing runs from being scored this guy is a big contributor H checks his swing appeal down to third he went around says Rusty Valentine and here it comes and that one ripped into right Fair ball the Run scores from third it's 31 one they throw into second pulls into second that's an RBI double they got a pitch he could get to out front kept his back through the ball and didn't pull off or roll his hands over and that allowed him to rip that ball down the line for the double here comes the skipper and we're going to see a pitching change in this spot Griff Griffin Cannon done for the night and as he heads for The Dugout we'll take a quick break new arm on the mound when we get back so the Angels turn to their Bullpen for a new pitcher kayen Dana on for his major league debut so we'll see if he's ready for the big stage he just has to remember this is the same game that he's played all the way through the minor leagues to this point the only difference they're just more more people in the stands and it's a bigger Stadium but the game itself is still the same look at the catcher whatever fingers he puts down that's what you throw and just let him Lead You In This one Taris stands in here takes ball one low himim at second with two [Applause] now that one back up the middle and it gets through Coming Home Fires it to the plate it's offline the Run comes in it's 4-1 couple of hits in a row for him here really nice job staying up the Middle with his approach he didn't try to do too much with the pitch just shot 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 two outs runner at first and stepping in is the Speedy Ezekiel Duran and that one just misses a ball and no strikes and the rhander deals and there's a strike double barreled action in the bullpen Jose kih getting ready to go Burke getting cranked up as well here's a one- one there's a swinging a this man that was pretty gross right there one and two count hard ground ball base St throw in holds the lead runner at second two on now with two away backto back singles just kept it simple played 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 next up for Texas Travis Janowski tapped Softly on the ground Drury inning ends and that stops the bleeding they strike for three runs on five hits no errors and a couple left on seventh inning coming up it's the Rangers four and the angels one back in Arlington we go to the top of the seven here's the Angels catcher Logan ohappy well after putting up a nice Inning on offense got some runs across this is where you look for the starter to go out there have a shutdown inning don't give that other team any hope you just hope that he can get through this inning get the bats back up there while they're hot Bullpen action for the Rangers Matt Festa preparing to come on if needed number 87 a left-hander also throwing swing and a ball ripped out towards right center field that'll TouchDown for a hit now he'll turn for second throw is high and over his head man I love the hustle out of the box right there to make that triple happen and just an absolute laser into the opposite field Gap he was digging hard the entire way [Applause] [Music] next to hit Brandon Drury in the air left field Lankford on the Move makes the catch and that should get the job done as he tags from third it's a sack fly as he comes across to score it's 42 sometimes all you got to do is your job and don't over complicate things keep it simple Runner third less than two outs put the ball in play and a nice job with the sack fly fouled off left side he didn't want to give up that run but he did got the Fly ball sack fly out now it's time to attack these other guys get your team back in the Dugout One down base is empty and that one hammered way back there a dive and he can't haul it in round second digging for third and he's got himself a triple having a really nice game here that's his second extra base hit a lot of times in today's game right fielders are able to get to a ball that stays in like that but he hit that one pretty well and if he hits it just a little bit different on the barrel it's out of here easily but there's nothing wrong with the extra bases right there [Applause] Nico kavadas the next to hip for the [Applause] Angels inside corner that's a strike one one don't be surprised to ball on the ground to the corners if they come home with the baseball instead of going to first base the tying run at the plate swung on popped up on the infield under it makes the grab two down back to the top of the Angels lineup and next for La Taylor Ward this is what stat nerds like myself might call a high leverage situation yeah boo not sure what the number per se but clearly an advat that could change the course of this game [Applause] dramatically tying run at the plate sliced hard but foul not even close there and it's one and two just one out away from seven strong Innings and just at 100 pitches man pretty impressive they've got to be happy with what they've gotten from them out there today with the tying run at the plate here the top half of inning number seven two outs grounded to low takes it himself they limit the damage here one run a pair of hits no errors and one left eye Midway in inning number seven and it's time to stretch it's the Rangers four and the angels two ready to go for the last half of the inning leading off Josh Smith here comes a pitch miss with a CH up ball [Music] one lifted in the air out to left that gets down for a hit man aboard on the leadoff [Applause] single now B that's a ball that a lot of times you'll see the short stop or left fielder be able to get to if it hangs up in the air long enough but right there it just died found a way to drop in on the green stuff with base hit and now it's going to be Wyatt Langford that misses the zone and that is ball one runner at first with no outs here runner on the go tang in a Miss bro and they got him man I see him trying to be aggressive right there late in this ball game try to add on to that lead you know I really like the thought but it just didn't work out that time nice job by the defense right there to keep things right where they are in terms of the [Music] score and a one-1 and a foul ball [Applause] got him swinging oh tough night at the dish punching out for the third time right there he just hasn't looked very comfortable with the plate a little unsure of his timing right now not picking up the spin and location of these pitches they'll have some adjustments to make low stands in here leaves that one off the inside [Music] next offering is downstairs two down nobody on here the bottom of the seven big swing in a Miss he's been able to go inside as well as outside effectively working both sides of the plate in this at bat drilled out towards left center field that's well struck could be extra bases makes the turn and heads for second in safely it's a double and his second hit everything came together for him pretty much a model swing on that one as he ripped it into the opposite field Gap and I'm sure he's going to be watching that one back on video because that's the kind of Swing you want to bottle so many positives that led to that [Applause] knock man it's second here with two away ad dois Garcia stepping in for the Rangers look out and it hit him so boo if you had to take one for the team where would you want to get hit Chris I think I'd have to say upper hamstring here's the third baseman Josh Young 0 for three with two strikeouts and a fly out a little out front there as he swings through it and one low on second Garcia on a first with two now on the ground sneaks through base hit rounds thirdd headed for the plate he'll score and they lead by three so he gets two Milestones with that hit his first big league knock and he drives in his first run as well yeah you love to get both of those out of the way with just one swing of the bat and it makes the special moment even more special it's not just an individual accomplishment when you're also driving in a run for your team that's an it bad he's never going to forget so first and second with two outs Jonah Heim stepping in for the [Applause] Rangers slice the other way that's a base hit around third the throw in the tag and he's save new pitcher in the game for the Angels Samuel aliger on for his major league debut and a moment he will never forget better believe that it's always so special the first time you get into a big league ball game I did it as a position player but for him as a pitcher I'm sure there's some nerves there probably don't want to squeeze the baseball too tight just relax and do what you're capable of doing and now leot Tas in the first pitch misses for ball one not the easiest thing when you're talking about a guy that's you know perhaps was going to be in the rotation maybe a long relief guy to not start an inning to come into an inning with pressure on it and and try to get yourself comfortable wouldn't chase that time tough spot right here a couple Runners on two ball count you can't nibble but you have to execute and finish your pitch if you leave something out over the plate it's going to bring in some runs two on two outs that's a strike in today's game not that many fast ball counts but hitters still in the back of their minds they're looking for one two change up call right there excellent pitch selection to go with next off is down low Ezekiel Duran waiting for a turn at the plate the pitch 3-1 and he couldn't come up with it now Bas is full to gone Ezekiel Durant the next to hit and ball one one ball no strike Bas is loaded two down the next offering misses and that's ball two pressure's on right here two count base is loaded you don't want to fall to a three ball count and then walk in or on he's got to challenge The Hitter right here that misses the Zone ball three 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 fast ball in for a strike and the count is three and one two outs bases are full right through there for a strike and boy that was the pitch 3-1 you want to be really aggressive on the fast ball fouled off again and it remains three and two and a foul ball he stays alive payoff pitch out to short Netto throws across the diamond inning over and it could have been worse two runs in the inning but they strand three eighth inning coming up it's the Rangers six and the angels two welcome back and a new arm of the mound to start the eighth David Robertson and this this is the best way to make your major league debut no one on base yeah you're already going to be a little nervous out there so I think it's a nice job by the skipper to get him in here without any added pressure with traffic on the bases so in now for the Angels Zack Netto the Halos in Striking Distance but have some work to do boo it starts with the lad off man need a good and bad out of him right here the pitch and that's off the inside Edge and that's ball one movement in the bullpen Andrew Heeney the left-hander up and throwing number 87 warming up as well right-handed reliever and a foul ball [Music] [Music] and the pitch in the air left side Langford makes the grab on the Run good pitch he just kind of had him out in front on that pitch away and wasn't able to stay closed noan Nolan shanell the next to hit for the Angels Robertson 39 years old he joined the team as a free agent and first off ring is fouled off he's begging give me that pitch one more time a hanging change up just out in [Applause] front and a good eye there that one call a strike and the count one and two B is empty one away and we're in the top of the eighth breaking ball inside and the count is two and two the pitch towards first into the Outfield base hit so they get a man a board with a one out single Nolan shanell with his first major league hit and this is a moment I'm sure he'll never forget congrats yeah great moment for him and his family a guy works so hard and has to wait so long for this to happen and when it does can kind of be overwhelming boo you still have to stay locked in on the game but it's great when you could take a minute to just appreciate what you've done and how hard you worked to get here man at first first with one gone Anthony randone the next to hit for the angels and first off ring is fouled off now these guys definitely looking for a big swing of the bat right here try to close that Gap but you know at the very least if you could find a way to manufacture that run from first it feels like it's really important of getting back into this ball game the 01 foul ball shanell the runner at first with one gone in the inning that missed by a lot going to count one and [Music] two and the righty deals fights that one away still one and two the pitch BS it off still one and [Music] [Applause] two on the ground the first low toss the second on the first double play and that's the inning no runs one hit no errors and no one left home half of inning number eight straight ahead it's the Rangers six and the angels two and we're back on to the bottom of the eighth now it's the right fielder Travis Janowski this is a guy you got to keep an eye on when he digs in definitely been known to drop a drag bunt from time to time and he's pretty good at it Chris yeah and he creates a sense of urgency for the defense because of the speed because of the ability to put down that BN the wind of the pitch just missed now you see even Sluggers from time to time try and use the bunt really as a way to beat the shift in the air right field Adele moves under it makes the grab one away the batter number eight short stop back to the top of theine lineup now Josh Smith come on up and in ball one 1 swing and a miss one ball two strikes one down base is empty two2 well he might have to look for a different putaway pitch right here 22 he's already seen the curveball couple of times in this at bat so might have it timed up and ready for it and now the Lefty got it by for the K he came out of his mechanics there typically likes to shoot the ball the other way but that time little anxious two outs Bas is empty now the left fielder Wyatt Langford 0 for four with three strikeouts and he's grounded out swing and a ball driven pretty well out towards left Center Ward makes the catch and that'll do it Grant Anderson taking over on the mound and he's got a nice lead to work with so he should come in throwing strikes attacking these hitters Anderson Mickey monia digs in now over for three a fly out of ground out a strike out the pitch that misses the zone and it's one and0 meanwhile activity in the bullpen Andrew Heeney getting loose out there Chaffin also getting ready let's go leftand hitter Waits there's a swing and a drive that one carrying and it bangs off the foul pole home run so he goes the opposite way with that one and they inch closer it's 63 well he really crushed that thing down the line and everyone had to hold their breath until it clanked off the pole and every time that happens it just kind of feels like a trick shot or something but really it's just a stroke of lock that it stays Fair long enough and now the catcher comes up to hit Logan ohappy first pitch just misses always exciting to see a leadoff home run in an inning kind of gets the offense fired up and you start to expect a big inning righty delivers a swing and a miss and that's strike one one and one [Applause] ripped to Third and caught that it that is a positive sign even though it probably doesn't feel like it he hit the ball hard but it doesn't always work out in your favor sometimes a Defender is there to make a play he's two outs away now it's the second baseman Brandon Drury and that's in for a strike one run across in the frame so far here the top of the night that misses one ball one strike and another [Music] ball next off offering is in for a [Applause] strike BS it back with two strikes rander kick steals now it's three and two up the middle Smith angels with only one out left Adell pitcher coming on the veteran Kirby y a chance at his first save of the year Angels down to their final out Joe Adell now at the [Applause] plate FPS the corner that's strike one the Angels down to their final strike got him that finishes the evening's action theal e with his first major league win yeah nicely done I'm sure he'll feel very good about that and get the ball for his trophy case as he should a start he won't ever forget 6-3 our final score for Chris Singleton in our entire outstanding crew here at MLB the Show I'm John shami saying so long
