D'backs vs. Red Sox Game Highlights (8/24/24) | MLB Highlights

The Diamondbacks look to follow up that impressive 12 run thrashing with a series win against the Red Sox. Tell you what the national anthem singer stole the show today. Maribel Pen Weston from Northboro Massachusetts knows how to entertain pap was talking about energy Red Sox trying to get back on the winning side of things after taking one on the chin last night, cutter Crawford trying to right the ship. He committed eight and 10 with a 425 a cut and dry as simple as it can be. Can cutter Crawford keep the ball in the yard here today. 28 homers, 22 homers in his last 12 starts. This Diamondbacks team the seventh most home runs. Cutter Crawford who has given up more home runs than any pitcher in baseball. Carroll leads off. He's in right field and a fly ball to left toward the corner. Refsnyder out there today and Rob will put that away one pitch , one out, 348 homers singled twice. He scored a run had an RB I in last night's Diamondbacks with here's the delivery and it's hit hard on the ground backhanded at first by other hands to Crawford for the out two very quick outs here on three pitches on the right side. Gasper called off by Rafaella. He continues to go and he's got it for a 123 start for Cutter Crawford zack Galen on the rubber for the Diamondbacks. Jaron Durant, who has led off each of Boston's last four games including last night with an extra base hit and a run scored Josh Bell again a terrific play at first and great hustle by Gallen to get over there and cover. Josh Bell made several sparkling plays down there in last night's game. He's a big guy, big tall guy, but he can get down on a knee and make a play like that on a smash beat Zack Gallen for the first out of the game here, bottom of the first one on and one out and here is the first baseman. That's the call right there. The curveball, that's the pitch that he tried to throw in the previous one landed at that time and he's got his first strikeout but it is another walk for gallon and on top of the issues that walks present naturally, that pitch count continues to climb. This is lifted out to right field in the bullpens out there. Gave it a ride. Gallen Strands too. A little smirk there from Zack. He survived a bumpy ride in the first Gurriel Jr. His batter really heating up these days sends it over to the left field wall and that's going to bounce off the wall. Gurriel takes the turn and los has the first diamondback hit a one out double, stay hot at third base with two outs on the wild pitch, a ground ball right to the first baseman Kasas and plenty of time to Crawford to get out of that. They strand a run at third base. Yoshida leading off here in the bottom of the second. No score. Josh Bell. Nice high hop. He will take it himself. Mickey Gas's family. He's a new uh Merrimack, New Hampshire and looking for that first big league hit, he's walked three times at the major league level. Not a hit yet to go. Two swung on and missed and Gallen is showing very little respect for Gaspar in that at bat. He just dominated him. Now the pitch sharply on the ground diving Perdomo in the glove back to his feet. He throws him out in time. Oh man, so good. Al Perdomo. And that the exclamation point on a 123 bottom of the second. We go to the third. It is the D backs nothing and the red sox nothing mccarthy Peterson Bell getting his second look at cutter Crawford. Jake got hot on July 1st and he has stayed hot. He's hitting 341 since the first of July high fly along the line. A brave charging and gets to the warning track to put that away. And that's six in a row set down by Crawford Anderson drives it deep to the wall in left center. Durant's at the wall and it's off the wall. Durant is down on the warning track and Peterson's at second, we'll check on Jarron Durant who is still down out there and he's down, did he hit his head? This is, I thought it was high off the wall. But, oh, it was the face face into the wall. Oh, Jared Durant. We talked about Abreu being a dog out. This guy is a dog out there all four. It's going to get Peterson into third and josh Bell is on base again. So with one out in the fourth trying to get something going here. Diamondbacks have runners on the corners for Gurriel threw his bat at it and popped it up. Raffaele underneath. He's got that run is staying put. We got a chance here with two down for Geno not under this one. Still going out there. Left field Refsnyder looking up and that's high off the wall. Peterson's home here comes Bell , Geno. Suarez. We know it's Gino and it's two nothing Diamondbacks. Oh, that was way up there and came down off the wall. And after five RBIs yesterday, Suarez chips in two. It's 2 to 0 Diamondbacks. He gets him finally for out number three, but they post a couple of runs, 2 to 0. Arizona Tristan Kasas leads off the fourth against zack Gallen who, despite a labored first inning has yet to give up a base hit. He's walked two, he struck out three and he has retired the last seven Red Sox and he strikes out Kasas with a curveball. Four strikeouts for Gallen who's retired eight straight in the middle of the Red Sox lineup and he struck out twice against zack Gallen good guy to keep quiet. Gallen 60 pitches only 35 for strikes another curveball and he gets the strikeout. That's his fifth up behind short PDO calling everybody off and Gallen strands the walk for no hit innings for Zack in a 2 to 0 lead at Fenway Park, leadoff. Walk brings up Ferrera, the catch who popped to short his first time up the cut down. He didn't get back in time, Casas with the tag and kind of put it right there. Oh, he was way off the base. I think a really good job by Kas to field it that way too. Slap the tag right on him. W and a miss strike three got him on a hard curve down and in to retire the side. So the pick off really helped. And after 4.5, it is two. Arizona. Zack Gallen facing the Red Sox for the first time in his career four no hit innings for Gallen. He has had to work a bit. He's walked three, he's got five strikeouts right there, got him up on a changeup. Six strikeouts for Zen a theme so far, a lot of backward strikeouts for the Red Sox over the first game and a half of the series long grounded out up the middle on a terrific play by Fomo that one to right field and that's going to drop down for a base hit. So the Red Sox finally get their first hit with one down in the fifth inning and it's Connor won with a single 0 to 2 on the Boston shortstop, zack Gallen feeling that curveball seven strikeouts for zack and there's two outs in the fifth has the curveball working likes to throw it in the dirt. In fact, throws it out of the strike zone more than he does in the zone because he wants to get chase and that's sharp, real good downward break today and he's feeling it as he did. He did didn't hold up. Gallen went to that good curveball and gets strikeout number eight. The Blue Birds are out in Boston two nothing Diamondbacks in this one. Wait, throw him a fastball on 32 right down main street right down comm Ave and that's nine strikeouts for Gallon. Zack is mixed in enough of his secondary stuff. We've seen a lot of curveballs, some cutters, a couple of changeups here and there but wasn't looking for that one. Refsnyder. The hitter he has fly out, struck out over for two. He homered here last night at third. There's one gus it gallen through six. The double play gets us to the seventh with a 20 lead more. Diamondback defense back to back ball four is in some trouble here with one away and here comes Cora pitcher for the Red Sox. The left hander Brennan Bernardino and three walks in this inning have loaded the bases for the Diamondbacks with two outs. One of the best left handed hitters in baseball against left handed pitching coming to the plate in jake mccarthy. That's off the plate ball four. He has walked in a run on the fourth walk of the seventh inning. Everything going the D backs way. But when they stick to their philosophy, grind out at bats, bases are still loaded. Two outs for here comes, he will score and it's 40 Diamondbacks get through 699 pitches for zack today, 59 strikes and now a 4 to 0 diamondback lead as they turn it over to the bullpen. Here is the right hander, Ryan Thompson, Louis Guillame. How did he get to that? And there's a big smile and he earned it. What a sensational play by Orman for sure, looked like that was going to roll through into right field for a base hit. He does a Superman dive to get to that throws from his back in time to get Yoshida at first. That's one of the ways of the year. That's why they got him. He is a slick defender at second base. The Diamondbacks are three outs away from clinching another series victory and they'll give it to Paul Sewald here to work the home half of the night base hit by R Snyder. A promising start to the ninth inning for the Sox here. Masatake Oshio for 310. Hammer to left. He's out the 10 Refsnyder racing in the third. They're going to wave him home and he's going to score and the Red Sox are finally on the board. Matsutake Oshio with a stinging line drive. Now, the Red Soxx head out to their final out with Rafaella coming up high in the air behind second Corman Carroll coming in. He wants it backs off and the Diamondbacks get this one. They hang on and win it 4 to 1 and they clinched a series victory here in Boston. Now, 18 games over 500. A lot of good takeaways from this ballgame, but none bigger than the start by Zack Galen today. Really good to see him get back on the beam the way he was this afternoon.
