[Music] I Street [Music] [Music] what you [Music] do when I do love to you [Music] [Music] [Music] of [Music] your what you [Music] do when I do my love to you baby yes I got some kisses forp yes [Music] iiss arm my heart has been waiting My Soul anting Your Love [Music] I aake [Music] what [Music] [Music] you kiss full of love for you I got some yes I got for mys [Music] I [Music] [Music] don't I do to you oh yeah so just about set now and towing the slab Casey M Chris what should we keep an eye on here with him 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 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 that to right Carpenter makes the grab one away time to check out the Rockies lineup not a team that usually sees a lot of pitches or Works a ton of walks Chris they take a more aggressive approach than some of the other teams in the league they definitely have a few free swingers in this lineup hitters who want to Bey on the attack and that's great as long as you got pitches in the zone but if the pitcher is able to expand the Zone can be very difficult for an offense like this to get going you've got to somehow draw some walks put some Runners on base so that when you do have those free swingers come up you can cash in with some runs that are plated one out base is empty [Applause] two balls no strikes to [Applause] count yeah one down base is empty ree bow no stke [Applause] next pitch in for a strike and a count is three and one clearly taking all the way there in that three-oh count it was a cookie right down the middle and a foul ball the line in the pitch the 3-2 is off the outside edge and that is ball four batting third the center field one down here's the center fielder Brenton Doyle looking for his first big league hit right here [Applause] would chase that time toar the runner at first with one gone in the [Applause] inning next pitch misses way outside he hasn't wanted to challenge him both of those pitches off the plate away don't expect anything down the heart of the plate you may just have to be patient and take your walk here and another ball [Applause] that one fouled [Applause] off the 3-1 and there's the strike looks like he's just sizing him up there really good pitch to hit but he took it all away sometimes guys just want to set their timing later on in the game that may be a Pitch that he turns on at the belt and FES and that should be extra bases toar around second headed for third headed for the plate he will score and they take the lead one nothing and he's a third with one away that's a triple so he gets two Milestones with that hit his first big leag 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 Ryan McMahon steps to the plate trying to pick up his first knock in the big leagues that one way outside one and0 righty to the plate way outside now two and0 not showing great command so far in this at bat 20- count he's got to execute here or this could get LLY that one missed now three [Applause] and0 right Ander kicks deals fast ball for a strike and it's three and one Runner on at third one [Applause] gone right down to shoot three and two down got him looking and he did not like the call 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's 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 try to rack up KS early in their career H I think they can it's kind of like a hitter that doesn't have power The Thrill is still hitting the ball over the fence and so for 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 outs two balls no [Applause] strike pitch misses there and that's ball three Brendan Rogers up next for the Rockies two outs and a runner at third and we're just getting started here in the top of the [Applause] first that's ripped and this one could be extra bases in comes the run from third it's two nothing and he's got a [Applause] double so he gets two Milestones with that hit his first big leag 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 a 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 man in scoring position with two away now it's Brendan Rogers first pitch not [Applause] close two outs and one in scoring position that missed by a lot two and0 [Applause] man on second two down not close with that one three balls no strikes and a pitch [Applause] right through there for a strike runner at second two [Applause] down this to third young that ends the inning and stops things from getting out of hand so it's two runs on two hits no errors and a runner left on to the bottom of the first it's the Rockies two the Tigers coming to B back at Comerica Park today's starter for Colorado number 29 Chris you don't have to dig too deep into the numbers to see how good he's been oh he's been nearly Untouchable kind of a Silent Assassin out there just goes to work and and guys look up it's deep into the ball game and they haven't been able to scratch anything off of this guy so look for him to do the same thing today maybe Go the Distance maybe hand it over to the bullpen at the end and try to get that W hard on the ground to First toia takes it himself and a quick out number one and now the Tigers lineup for manager AJ Hench 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 high and guys 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 guys 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 it out towards Right Center that's well struck that's back see you later he'll Circle the bases his first Homer of the year and they're on the board it's 2-1 two pitches two swings that one for a home run looking to be aggressive all the way and it paid off for him in a [Applause] big why do you want me to apologize when I when you're working with this kind of velocity so critical that you move the ball around work quickly and make sure that you keep that hitter off balance clearly not fooled by the location or the velocity he was all over that [Music] fast and next is the designated hitter mat clear length this one smoked out to left Jones snags it and there's two away not fooled at all right there he was clearly all over it but sometimes you hit it too hard and right at someone you're looking for one of those blue hits to get a knocked sometimes now here's the Tigers cleanup hitter carry Carpenter that one ripped right center field that'll make it out of here that'll fire up the Dugout it's their second home run of the inning and it ties it up it's [Applause] [Music] 22 love to see a hitter aggressive on the first pitch of an ADV bat you watch him from the on Deck Circle so 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 [Applause] [Music] [Music] swing so digging in Colt [Applause] p and a gr ball to First knocks it down he gets to the bag in time and they do get the third out of the inning but two round Trippers in this inning the long ball was working two two game you're watching Major League Baseball on the show back here in Detroit second inning set to go and now the right fielder Jake cage well after scoring runs this is where you're looking for that shutdown inning get that hot team back in there to swing the bats that's way outside and it's w to [Applause] know wouldn't chase that time Patrick Johnson behind the plate Patty Johnson to sunbo but I'd ask permission first before I called him that does a pretty good job J back there occasionally we'll see a couple of sideways looks from players but that kind of comes with the territory right the wind of the pitch three and no well I would expect in this three-oh count you're taking all the way see if they'll walk you left-and hitter Waits guyses but a kicks off his glove not in time great effort but it's an infield hit and it looks like they might end up challenging this one very close play and we will take another look as well I couldn't tell in live action that's for sure and you know the Umpire is so much closer to the play and he thought he beat the throw so we'll see so they have decided to challenge the play and now it's up to the replay umpires in New York to make the call here's one more look they called him safe and I'm not sure that there's anything here to overturn the call what about you singi I don't think so Bo I mean we need something obvious to overturn it and I just don't see it so they made a decision and the runner is safe the original call is confirmed and that leaves them without any challenges the rest of the way upon video review the umpires have upheld the call of safe at first B now here's Nolan Jones that's outside and that's ball one not giving him a pitch to hit there isn't a bad thing he's dealing with a great first pitch hitter up there next offering way off the plate oh he's really working him away this sbat sometimes take a little bit off velocity try to get a roll over something on the ground stay away from that big hole on the right side of thefield now three and0 [Applause] see if he gives him anything to hit here fouls one away and now three and [Applause] two k gets his lead at first with nobody out ouch he had two strike on him and he hit him well he just couldn't get out of the way of that one and that's not an easy thing to do when you got a fast ball coming in hot and now Drew [Applause] Romo and the first offering is not close and delivers outside could be some action here on this next pitch couple Runners on probably a challenge pitch coming that one misses and that's ball [Applause] three and here it comes and that one is in for a strike [Applause] hard hit to third tags the runner for one and two what a play so the Rockies lineup turns over there's Chuck nasty and there's one thing on his mind this at bat getting that first hit at the big league level outside and that is ball one and that's [Applause] outside that one not close and now three and0 Ezekiel Tovar in the Onex [Applause] Circle lays out but he can't squeeze in and that'll put Runners at the corners with two away Charlie Blackman 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 can take a minute to just appreciate what you've done and how hard you work to get here first and third two away next for Colorado Ezekiel toar he walked in came around to score his first time up count Short Stop takes the [Applause] ball Runners out first and third two away here at the top of the second and another ball [Applause] and the next pitch is way outside Brenton Doyle and the Colorado on Deck [Applause] Circle here's a [Applause] three-oh f back ourway and that's out of play 3-2 two out runner on first lot of movement in the infield hitters got to stay focused on the pitch in the air out towards Right Center sizes this one up drops into the glove and that's the third out two left for Colorado score remains [Music] 22 and welcome back to the ballpark we have bottom of the second and now the first baseman Spencer Tolen the W to kick the pitch now it's beled deep to left way out of here home run a massive home run and they jump ahead in the second it's 32 that's their third home run of the game they're having a lot of fun at the plate in this one they've got the long ball working for them on autopilot well he put a really nice swing on that one and everything was on time took a direct path to the ball excellent extension and just drove it out of here nothing better than when the ball jumps off your bat like [Applause] that knock down but I'm there's you can do to me keeping my dreams sometimes life is not what it seems sometimes just stuck in the extremes when everyone else seems to be in the corner enem so up next Jace [Applause] Young that one is absolutely belted it's a b he circles the bases it's for two he absolutely crushed that one no doubt about that one boo we knew it wasn't coming [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] back back to back homers always a special feeling at the Ballpark especially if it's your team that does it and those guys get to slap hands at home plate this is the kind of thing that can really fire up a ball [Music] fub and next to hit for Detroit Trey Sweeney liner caught it second that'll drive you crazy as a hitter if you let it I he couldn't hit that ball more on the screws than he did and yet he's got nothing to show for it hang with him I know the feeling Jake Rogers up now for the Tigers swings and Blast One deep to left Center that's back there going gone a solo shot their third home run of the inning and they add a run it's five and two that's their fifth Homer of the game man they're all getting into the action it's starting to feel like a home run derby up [Applause] here so the lineup flips over Parker Meadows digs in now that one ripped this looks like extra bases and that's going to roll to the wall he's in at second with a one- out double partner Meadows 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 worked to get [Music] here maned second with one away here's Riley green he's already homered in this [Applause] game right side hard hit and he takes it himself for the out [Applause] the batter number eight designated [Music] hitter Now Matt verling for one so [Music] far walking de hanging Mar withing heads going over the one even [Applause] base stock center field and that should be extra bases into to scores the runner from third it's 62 and he's in at second with a two out double so he gets two Milestones with that hit his first big leag 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 in individual accomplishment when you're also driving in a run for your team that's an it bad he's never going to [Music] forget and next will be the cleanup hitter carry Carpenter he's already homered here in this one smok to right Center and this one's going to go out of here another Homer make that four homers in the inning it's 82 [Applause] [Music] [Applause] that's exactly the pitch he was looking for crushes it and hits it out of the [Music] ballpark here's Bud Black towards the mound and we're going to see a pitching change here number 29 departs and this is one he'd like to forget back with a new arm after [Music] this so the Rockies turn the ball over to a new arm Ryan feltner 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 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 whips it to first on the run that ends the frame of the bun attemp they bring nine to the plate and six come around to score we play two full it's the Tigers eight and the Rockies two and we're back on to the third inning so in now for Colorado Brenton doyley well every pitcher wants run support and having a lead is nice but it can be challenging for some pitchers I think keeping the mindset to attack instead of trying to be too fine and have too much finesse go after hitters and get quick outs wouldn't chase that time go Chris through the early stages he hasn't been very efficient in terms of the pitch count he's going to need to get some quick outs if he's going to get deeper into this game that misses all three it is interesting though when you consider the way the game is run now doesn't even matter that much if your starter doesn't go that deep because teams are really aggressively building their bullpens [Applause] offering is in for a [Applause] strike highfly ball out to center field Meadows settles under it huls it in for the out now batting third Bas Ryan McMahon so now it's the Four Hole hitter Ryan McMahon his first hit bat was a strikeout when you talk about Elite defensive third baseman this guy is at the top of the list stud when you look at Players like this you play that Hot Corner got to be pretty courageous over there with the way balls come off the bat that's the kind of guy that every year you expect him to be in the All-Star Game and have a gold glove if not a platinum glove that misses and it's a ball on a strike so what are the skills you look for that make a really good defensive third baseman that Elite well boo one of the things I think about immediately are just the feet does he have good feet is he able to quickly react and when you have Good Feet you've got soft hands and soft hand Defenders are able to make tough plays look [Applause] easy and another [Applause] ball one down base is empty highfly ball pretty well struck out towards Right Center way back there and [Applause] gone he flexes his power with that swing his first Homer of the year and they're chipping away it's 83 knew what pitch he wanted to hit spit on some other pitches in this hit bat was very patient and it paid [Applause] off so one out nobody on here's Michael toia doubled in his first a [Applause] b that missed by a lot ball one toia a tall first baseman hitting fifth in today's lineup a former first round pick back in 2019 one run acrossing the frame so far here in the top half of inning number three next pitch misses way outside looks like he's being a little cautious with him in this at bat after doubling the first time up doesn't want to make another mistake next pitch is outside get out of here Ro fast ball for a strike taken all the way on 3 right there and as a hitter you're saying why couldn't I get that pitch earlier in the count when I'm looking to [Applause] swing headed down the line green going after it and they're two down well those can be pretty fun as an outfielder got to put it into His Highest gear and go a long way to track that one down nothing better than that you feel like a wide receiver playing football [Applause] Rogers the next to hit takes outside not even close there and it's two [Applause] and0 with chase that [Applause] time next offering is in for a [Applause] strike this one in the air brings it in for the third out the Rockies get one by way of the long ball it's now 83 you're dialed into the show as we go to the last of the third and here's the first baseman Spencer tolon the pitch there's a swing and a drive and one hops Off the Wall should be extra bases and that's a leadoff double everything came together perfectly for him right there showed a willingness to drive that pitch the opposite way didn't get jumpy didn't try to pull the ball and let it get deep took the barrel right to it and then extended through the swing for the line drive base hit so man aboard Jace Young up now for the Tigers that one ripped and it one Ops the wall they extend their lead as the runner scores from second and it's 93 seeing some good swings from him right now with consecutive extra base hits everything was mechanically sound with that swing right there I mean that's pretty much what you're wanting to to replicate with every rep you take you have good balance Barrel directly to the baseball and good long extension after contact out in front of Home Plate man there are a lot of dumers on a swing like that and next up for the Tigers Trey Sweeny he's over one Zack bunt towards third gathers and throws the first one gone bottom of the third inning number4 [Music] Rogers Jake Rogers up now for the Tigers and Chris his big strength is defense but it is interesting in today's world of baseball compared to when you played a good defensive catcher is considered differently whatever you get offensively is a bonus but he's got to put the fingers down he's got to present pitches to the Umpire they're going to help his pitcher get more strikes out on the off-balance throw [Music] Parker Meadows up now for the Tigers one for [Applause] two and that one hammered that's back there Banks Off the Wall run comes in from second it's 103 and he's into third with a two out triple comes through with the RBI I love the hustle out of the box man he drove that baseball and he was thinking triple right [Music] away Riley green getting ready to [Music] hit a bunt and it's popped up and makes the play and that's out number three they get two runs on three hits no errors and one left on to inning number four tigers 10 and the Rockies [Music] three back here in Detroit here's Jake cave now clearly down in this ball game and you can't look at the deficit and try to get it all back in one swing it's got to come one at bad at a time and even shrink it down smaller pitch to pitch make that guy on the mound work to get you out first offering misses badly for ball one [Applause] outside kicks and Deals re B no [Applause] ST and there's Ball Four definitely lost the handle during that sequence four pitches for the walk and that last one didn't even threaten The Zone CER might want to go talk to him next to hit Nolan Jones he was plunked in his first trip to the [Applause] plate that's way outside and that's ball one maybe losing command a little bit after the walk next pitch not even close kicks and fires two and0 and another [Applause] ball left hand B weights and he walked him on four pitches Bo do you think you could draw Walk In The Bigs if we gave you enough at bats oh that's a good question um I think that if they gave the pitcher a false scouting report on me yes I think I could draw one Romo the next to hit takes ball one here's an opportunity if you're going to get back in this game you have to take advantage of this situation this feels like their chance way outside and that's ball two two walks in the inning already and he just doesn't seem comfortable out there like he can find the right mechanics and then repeat them no outs Runners at first and second ground ball could be two oh can't pick it up cleanly they throw to Second and he's going to make it to First and we'll see how they score looks routine but it hasn't been so easy for this club defensively this year and you got to make those routine plays behind a pitcher helps him to get more comfortable and move through this ball game Blackman in now takes ball one off the plate the Tigers up big in this one top half of inning number four would chase that [Applause] time and another [Applause] ball two on one out that one pushed foul out of play off to the left the pitch bounc to the right side base hit and a run in to score now [Applause] e Ezekiel Tovar digging in for the Rockies the short stop takes the ball that misses the zone and the count is two [Applause] and0 and there's a ball no let's see if he gives him anything to hit here and strike two I can't lose ball outside and that is ball four oh he's been in a very giving mood today so the bases are loaded here one gone Brenton Doyle will hit next ball one [Applause] there here comes the skipper and we're going to see a pitching change in this spot Casey m is done and we'll be back with their first arm out of the pen after a quick break so they turn to the vetan pitcher in this spot Kent MAA a tough spot to make your major league debut with the bases loaded man no kidding trial by fire I guess but I got to think they would have rather given him a chance to make his debut in a less stressful situation and all I can say is best of [Music] [Applause] luck that one missed pressure's on right here two- count BAS 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 not close with that one three and0 ground ball right side could be two there's one and that's quick work out of the pen one batter two outs inning over two men left stranded but they do push across one we're Midway in the fourth Tigers 10 and the rocky four back at CER F now it's the DH Matt [Applause] beerling feltner back to work in the air center field drop steps heads back on it high bounce takes it over the fence for an automatic double well there's something really nice about getting yourself an automatic double like that you get to stroll in the second base without having to worry about a throw or getting your uniform dirty and now you're just looking for the next hitter to kind of do the same thing maybe put one in the Gap so you can jog home as well so man aboard Carri Carpenter up now for the Tigers hey and immediately pumps in a strike to the left-handed [Applause] hitter smoked to right center and this one's going to go out of here and he's gone yard again his third home run of the game it's 124 singy the ball is jumping off his back yes it is tons of loud contact man it's been [Music] impressive he's putting on quite the show with the dish here in this one and he's just so locked in with this swing and he's just not missing right now three Homer game and so special and I tell you what it's a lot of fun to watch it pull it off as well man righty reliever out of the pen Victor bod 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 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 here is Colt Pete dro a bunt down the first base side he's safe on with a bunt single col Pete 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 [Music] here man at first next to hit Spencer torlon puts a bunt down fires to Second for one back to first but not in time plenty of offense in this one singy I guess you'd say kind of what we expected though well this was a game looking at the pitching matchup where you expected offense to score and not as lopsided as this um but yeah you definitely expected to see some offense coming up highfly ball out towards left field Jones raging back towards the wall can't get to it as it drops into the corner around third he's safe picks himself up at RBI really good swing right there he got a pitch that he knew he could handle allowed himself to stay back just T bit longer and he hit the ball on the screws and up next for Detroit Trey Sweeney and a sack bun here now the throw to first on the run two gone up next to the Tigers the catcher Jake Rogers Jake Rogers up now for the [Applause] Tigers and that bunted towards third mcmah that ends the inning and they limit the damage three runs four hits no errors and one man left on to the top of the fifth we go the tigers are out front [Music] 13-4 and welcome back to the ballpark new inning getting started here's the Rockies cleanup hitter Ryan McMahon as he turns on the Rubber and with that good live arm delivers and ball one [Applause] and delivers [Applause] outside and the pitch wouldn't chase that time let's see if he gives him anything to hit here and a four pitch walk they just keep handing out gifts boo were we supposed to bring something see I think just our presence is the present so a man aboard now it's the power speed combo Michael toia first pitch not close the Rockies with a lot of ground to make up and we're in the top of the fifth slider misses outside back to- back breaking pitches away you get the feeling as a hitter that the pitcher is afraid of you that he doesn't want to challenge you so I think the confidence level is raised right here and another ball [Applause] it go get him and ball four to a board four pitches that's an easy walk man he could have walked me right there boo last one wasn't even close next to hit for the Rockies Brendan [Applause] Rogers and the first offering is not close McMahon at second toia at first with no outs that one not close and now two and0 wouldn't chase that time now this is in the air down the line squeezes it grounder tags it second and he makes it up to third with one away now battle the right field Jake K so digging in Jake C pitch misses one and0 Runners are at the corners one away so two balls and no [Applause] strikes and another ball [Applause] the pitch and there's the automatic this one popped up middle of the infield has a beat on it they got it for out number two oh that's a frustrating into the at bat for the hitter right there I mean that pitch was right down the middle I think he got a little too excited came out of his mechanics and instead of driving that ball somewhere he popped it up unfortunate for him Jones up for the third time here watches that one miss Corners are occupied with two down next offering way off the plate and that's [Applause] outside on the ground right side third out out [Music] and we're back and stepping in is the Speedy Parker Meadows and a pitch bounced out to short toar throws the first and that's the first out of the bottom of the fifth well Bo we talk about how the ball is coming out of a pitcher's hand the way it comes out of his hand as an infielder wow really impressive now the number two hitter Riley green one for [Applause] three trying to bun his way on picks it up with the bare hand and that's a great play for the out man he made that look easy didn't he I mean there's nothing simple about that play boo especially when you break it down but right there everything was done in one fluid motion to deliver a strike over to First just in time for the out tell you I could watch that all day two outs Bas is empty Matt verling now at the [Applause] plate now a drag BNT Third Base side and he's safe at first well singing that was really nice looking able to get it down and in a good spot and he makes it look easy bad angle was perfect Barrel stayed above the hands and almost walked to first so up next Terry Carpenter and a chance to make some history here Chris yeah he's homk three times so far and now he gets another chance at least we think we'll see if the pitcher gives him anything to hit it's so rare to see a three Homer performance but even more special for that player to get another chance at the play to do it again for four puts a bunt down to First and he beats it everyone safe so two on with two away and next to hit for Detroit Colt [Applause] he all night long I like the way you Mo [Applause] and he lays one down the left side mcmah they take the force out they don't come much closer than that bang bang play to end the [Music] inning all set for the top of the six and now the switch hitting catcher Drew Romo Drew Romo Romo in his rookie season 22 years old and he was a second round pick in 2020 the wine of the pitch slider misses outside wouldn't chase that time and another ball no stri let's see if he gives him anything to hit here he swings and hits a Fly ball center field on the Move hauls it in for the out and there's one away now it's Charlie Blackman that one's in there on one base is empty one away and we're in the top half of the [Applause] sixth and the next pitch is way outside outside one [Applause] St that one misses and now three balls and a strike [Applause] one down base is empty fast ball for a strike three and two struck him out looking frustrating end to the atat for the hitter and I'm sure that's going to sit on him for a little while you want to be ready to hit the fast ball some times you can overthink things and I think that was the case right there now it's the short stop Ezekiel [Applause] toar and a seed into Center that's a base hit and that extends the inning Ezekiel Tovar 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 Brenton Doyle digging in for the Rockies that misses the zone and that's ball one Tovar the runner at first with two gone two and that one way outside and that's ball [Applause] two two outs not even close there and that's ball three [Applause] so now two on and two outs speaking of walks did you see anything special during your walk into the ballpark today I know you like to take in all the surroundings I just love interacting with the people it's just fun to connect I mean as I was headed up to the booth one guy shouted at me make sure to say hi to Kenny McMahon in the Box here lets that one go for a ball chase that time first and second two down and another [Applause] ball and they're all loaded up oh you know this guy wants to swing it but he's showing some good patience in this one it's the second time he's taken ball four two out SP is loaded Michael toia digging in for the [Applause] Rockies and [Applause] there's two outs bases are full [Applause] and now to [Applause] nothing and that's [Applause] outside here's a highfly ball out to Center he's got it and that'll end the inning two left on 678 D in the bottom of the six the Tigers lead it [Music] 13-4 back now for the bottom of the six and there's a new pitcher on the M Justin Lawrence and 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 adding pressure with traffic on the bases and now the first baseman Spencer Tolson here comes the pitch up the middle a dive nice stop from his knees the throw nicely done for the out look at the commitment to make the play down on the ground from the knees that's not just arm strength guys that's for strength as well look at that rocket across the diamond outstanding [Music] job and next up for the Tigers Jace Young three for three with a homer and two doubles swung on belted that's back there and G another Homer he's done it again his second Homer of the game and they add a run it's 144 now cuz I'm to I'm running over you [Applause] iise just an excellent swing all the way around and it had that sound coming off the bat that gets everyone's attention got a pitch to drive short to the baseball squared it up and the backs SP carried [Music] [Applause] one out B is empty Trey Sweeney up now for the Tigers Bunting and it's right in front of the plate and safe at first a bunt single Trey Sweeney with his first major league hit and this is the moment I'm sure he will'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 L you still have to stay locked in on the game but it's great when you can take a minute to just preciate what you've done and how hard you work to get [Music] here one gone runner at first and now it's going to be Jake Rogers l down a bunt to the right side on a second they get one throw the first safe now batt the center field Parker me and here's the tiger lead off man Parker [Music] Meadows Bunting and he pops it up toia makes the grab on the Run solo shot for Detroit this inning seventh inning coming up back after this on the show here we go to the top of the seventh now it's the second baseman Brendan Rogers Rogers manager signals over and how about this the intentional walk signal to the lead off hitter the right Jake C digging in for the Rockies odd Choice here they intentionally walk him and the runner now into scoring position the Le Nolan Jones digging in for the Rockies this kid picked up in a trade a lot was offered and given to get him but he's got a real high ceiling and the right hter back to work one way outside and it's w to know Andie deals not close with that one two balls no strikes Rogers the lead runner at second cave on at first with nobody [Applause] out next pitch misses way [Applause] outside and that's Ball [Applause] Four second walk of the game for him and he's been really patient at the play the game plan that he's sticking to he's just not going outside of what he's looking for up there and now the catcher comes up to him Drew [Applause] Romo that's outside and that is ball one the opportunity for a huge inning exists right here Bases Loaded nobody out but as a hitter can't be over anxious that pitcher is up against the wall make him come to you next pitch is outside Bo 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 and that misses as [Applause] well the Rockies with a lot of ground to make up here the top half of inning number seven basee hit one run is in another comes into to score it's 14-6 Drew Romo 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 so the batting order turns over next is the designated hitter Charlie Blackman ball one no strikes Runners on the corners no outs next offering way off the plate and delivers outside hit on the ground might be two wanted second they get the out but the Run scores on the twin killing up to colado now a chance for Ezekiel Tovar [Applause] the short stop takes a ball and the one0 wouldn't chase that time two down nobody on that one misses and it's three and0 Brenton Doyle Waits on Deck [Applause] the right-hander gives up the two out walk 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 into the Gap will produce a two out RBI and those are the best that is if you are the offensive side of it stands in with two away as he takes a ball this has been a rough inning but sometimes you just got to work through it save the rest of that bull pin somehow stopped the bleeding two outs that misses now two and0 [Applause] Now One Missed no [Applause] ST that's an automatic ball because the timer ran out and a free base with the wall not exactly a confidence boosting play on the mound so first and second with two outs now the third baseman Ryan [Applause] McMahon another Miss eight straight outside the strike zone [Applause] and another ball two outs couple of base runners at first and [Applause] second that misses the zone and now three and0 a sliding play it short goes to second with it to First and he beats it everyone safe well when you fall behind in the count you've got to come into the zone and then guys have a better chance of hitting the ball hard like he did right [Applause] there base is full two gone Michael toia digging in for the Rockies [Applause] and the pitch is outside ball one that's that's enough's get him out of here next offering way off the plate B is loaded two now that misses and that's ball three all loaded up dangerous hitter at the plate and a pop off right side foul territory Tolson makes the grab and that'll end the inning so they get three runs in the inning but they also leave the bases loaded Midway in inning number seven and it's time to stretch Detroit is out in front 14-7 bottom of the inning now the left fielder Ry green no left field high GRE Lawrence back to work Bunch it towards the mound tosses to First and the lead off hitter set down to open the seven the number eight designated hitter next to the plate is the Tigers DH Matt [Music] beerling drops a bunt down the first base side and he handles it himself for the out now batting the right fielder carry now carry Carpenter four for four with three homers and and a single drilled out towards left center field that's well struck got all of that [Applause] one and he's gone yard again that's his fourth home run of the series it's 157 [Applause] [Music] wow this is awesome I mean a poor Homer game they're just so rare they're so special and just so tough to pull off as well so left the out of the pen number 41 and he comes on here for the first time this season and I'm sure there's some nerves involved in that so we'll see how he settles in [Music] two outs nobody on Colton Kei up now for the Tigers that one finds the zone and it's own and [Applause] one two down bases empty but one run across here the bottom of the seven puts a bunt down and he picks it up in foul territory one scor is in the inning coming on this solo home run we look ahead to inning number eight it's Major League Baseball on the [Music] show back here in Detroit we go to the E here's the second basement Brendan Rogers [Applause] the rander back to work pitch misses there ball one wouldn't chase that time two and0 to count here it comes and another ball that one misses so a lead off walking off for man it first now it's the right fielder Jake K well the late off man gets on you want to minimize the threat by playing sound defense hopefully the pitcher can get a ball on the ground and they can roll him up for two the 10 can't find it here that's six straight Balls next pitch misses way outside Rogers aboard here at first with nobody out and he walked him the Le number 22 here's the left fielder Nolan Jones this one gets away as he can't handle it behind the plate now two men are in scoring position after that one gets away and still nobody out they're in a good position to maybe make this a big inning good chance to make that mistake hurt right here the one and that's outside the Rockies with a lot of ground to make up and we're in the top of the eighth swing and a ball hit out towards left Center Field Green makes the grab Runner tags for home he's in on the sacrifice fly it's 15 to8 Romo and here's the catcher Drew Romo well both sides equally as strong so not a good time to try to turn him around with a relief pitcher and put him on the other side of the plate runner at second here one gone that one way outside and it's two and0 [Applause] outside that one pushed to the left and foul man it's second in the air right field pretty well struck that one is back and out of here a two-run shot his first Homer of the year and they slice into the lead it's 1510 when you're lacking velocity it's so critical that you move the ball around change speeds even try to trick the hitter at times but when you give up a home run right there manager doesn't have a lot of patience because the velocity is not there to overcome and get the swing of Miss here's Charlie Blackman hey partner how's your scorecard looking right now little dice kind of hieroglyphics style at the moment you know what it's like singy remember our trip to London Yankees and Red Sox in 2009 I think there were were there 50 runs scored in the two games combined my scorecard was ugly for that series still only one out here in the Inning on and there's a ball yeah pretty ridiculous and you use like five different colors of pens so like it's just a mosaic over there yeah I mean I I know you're always judging the different pens that you know I get the skinny scoring pen and then I have the red and then the black and then I got a highlighter so there is a lot going on and the next pitch is way outside [Applause] let's see if he gives him anything to hit here there's strike and now three and [Applause] [Applause] one one down base is empty lifted in the air right center field Meadows gets under it makes the grab two [Applause] down up next for Colorado the short two outs Bas is empty and the batter now Ezekiel [Applause] Tovar so the Tigers get a new arm from the pen carck scoel this is his first appearance of the [Applause] [Music] season9 pass ball for a strike oh one's the count [Applause] now one pushed foul two down nobody on the short stop takes the ball rarely will you see a pitcher just a waste of pitch like that the batter wasn't even tempted to swing every pitch needs to have a purpose so that it can set up a following pitch to help you get that out out and here it comes bals it off still one and [Applause] two got him and that will end the inning but the Rocks bring in two on this big fly last half of the eth coming up Major League Baseball is on the [Music] show back at C Park and here's the first baseman Spencer tolon as the Lefty gets to work and that's a strike movement in the bullpen Jake bird getting ready to come on for Bud Black the wi in the pitch swing and a ball hammered left field and out of here another Homer his second home run of the game it's 16- 10 [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] looks like this guy was looking out over the plate but he was ready to turn on the inside fast ball so direct to the pitch absolutely blasted out of this ballpark Jace Young up now for the Tigers four for four two home runs and two doubles that one hammered Center Field Doyle ranging back on the warning track and holds it in Man Bo I love watching an outfielder take on the wall to make that play and it's a lot easier to watch from up here because that can be painful in the end you know the Wall's coming up on you quickly so you have to maintain concentration and able to make that catch and hold on to it after contact bued back towards the mound throw safe and that was close Jake Rogers digs in now Jak Rogers and a sack bun here steps on first for the out really nice technique right there to get that sack bunt down advances that runner up another base that was his job he got it done back to the top of the Detroit order Parker Meadows up now for the Tigers fast ball for a [Applause] strike and that bun it towards third McMahon whips it to First and that'll keep more runs from coming in inning over Tigers add one to the lead on this Homer Last Chance coming up for the Rockies [Music] and welcome back to the ballpark and now the center fielder Brenton Doyle Doyle the pitch hammers that one deep left field and forget [Applause] it that was blasted to the moon and they cut into the lead it's 16-1 that was blasted absolutely no doubt out off the bat well he put a really nice swing on that one and everything was on time took a direct path to the ball excellent extension and just drove it out of here nothing better than when the ball jumps off your bat like that so here's the cleanup hitter Ryan [Applause] McMahon scoble a 6-3 lefty 240 lbs and he was a ninth round draft pick back in 2018 go TIG the pitch popped up foul territory behind the plate and there's one away it's a good recovery though after giving up the Home Run not allowing it to stay in the head but going to work at the next hitter and a tough one at that next for Colorado Michael [Applause] toia and there's a foul ball one down base is empty and a foul ball the Lefty fires that one not close one and two the [Applause] count wouldn't chase that time one out base is empty and a run in here the top of the night here's a swing and a drive left field and he knew it second home run of the inning for him it's 16- 12 that's their fourth home run of the game they can't stop and they won won't stop hitting home runs in this one boo they're clearly feeding off of each other at the dish Lightning Fast hands to be able to hit that velocity fast ball on the inside part of the plate in my experience when you're looking out over the plate allowing the ball to travel it's pure reaction to hit a pitch in that location that's a tremendous swing so in now for Colorado Brendan Rogers no for three with two fly outs and a ground out line drive Bas hit Soul Man aboard now with one away Brendan Rogers 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 it 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 youve work to get here and now the right fielder Jake C let's turn two popped up ke moving under this one he's got it and there's two away the le2 Nolan Jones Rockies down to their last out now the left fielder Nolan Jones splits the plate stri stke one goodness I think he just took the best pitch he's going to see in this at bat you don't get many like that in that location I don't know if you take that pitch against any pitcher out there on the mound at the belt and fires hit to Second and this should do it on the first ball game and the Tigers slug their way to a win in this one nice work out of the Gin for that first MLB wber they turned to him when they didn't have the lead he kept steady and he's rewarded with the w tons of offense in this one for Chris Singleton and our entire outstanding crew here at MLB the Show I'm John shabi we'll see you soon che che [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] [Music] theone push me away like I'm lucier so to speak my focus is on the cold C
