🔴LIVE NOW! Kansas City Royals vs Los Angeles Angels - Aug 20, 2024 MLB Full Game - MLB 24 EN VIVO

just about set to go and on the hill in this one Michael W and singy we were talking earlier about how he's doing a great job navigating through tough spots I've just been so impressed with when it seems like there's more pressure he's more calm and settles in he's done an incredible job with runners in scoring position most guys they get a little tight they start to aim the baseball but for some reason he gets looser the ball comes out of his hand with more life and he's able to wiggle off the hook of you know tough situations and get his team back in the [Applause] Dugout that one's upstairs ball one and the count is one and two and that skips in dir the wine of the pitch gets a piece there we'll do it again and the righty deals slang and a miss struck him out and one out now he just ran out of patience there he took a couple of pitches to even that count up at two balls and two strikes but that time chased outside the [Applause] zone so diing in Zack Netto and that's off the Inside Edge one and0 Netto measures 6 feet even 185 lbs a former first round pick in 2022 this one high in the air to left [Applause] Center and makes the grab two away all right let's take a look look at the Angels lot they do a lot of things well in this offense zingy they control the strike zone they make pitchers work hard for outs and as a result one of the better OBP teams in the league well what I love about it is it's an organizational philosophy whether you go to instructional League whether you go to spring training you see these guys even during batting practice when it doesn't matter they're practicing that type of approach Boo and when you have that filtering through the organization even when you call up a player he steps right in and continues with the pattern that they have established at this level which ultimately leads to a lot of success two down do on that's a [Applause] ball right through there for a strike you know you translate on base percentage it's basically this teams that have a high on base percentage they don't make outs at a very high rate as my buddy Joe Sheen says OBP is like two- one pitch is in there and the count is [Applause] even and here it comes and a swing and a miss and it's a three up three down inning Angels held in check the Royals will get their chance now in a scoreless ball game it's Major League Baseball on the show back here in Kansas City and getting the call here Griffin canning and singy it's Unique these days but he's more of a pitch to contact type of guy yeah Bo he doesn't rely too heavily on the strike out he knows he needs to miss barrels get some soft contact let the defense do work behind him and I think a guy like that can keep a good Tempo don't give HS to ad or think they can move through a ball game and you look off they're in line for a quality start we'll see what he's gotten this [Applause] one pitch misses and one and one [Applause] and he [Applause] deals and another [Applause] ball pitches in the dirt three and two [Applause] now inside ball four ball four prob tried to n right there and just missed his spot didn't offer at it now he has somebody to worry about over at first now here's Bobby Wick Jun this guy one of the best contact men in the sport oh great grab on the dive that's what you got to have at the Hot Corner cat like reflexes Line Drive caught by the third basement as he Dives toic now the left fielder Vinnie pasquantino gets the call that's strike one leftand hitter Waits and there's the strike go2 count both pitches on the inside part of the plate hitter is thinking I don't want to get beat here this is a good time for something off speed [Applause] away canning checks the runner and he Dives back in safely man at first one [Applause] away next offering upstairs [Applause] and the pitch three and [Applause] two HS and misses it's a strike out he's locked in at the plate when he's using the whole field he was out front there just needs to let the ball travel a little more and his timing will be back on track good pitch for the strikeout and now it's Salvador Perez to the plate Outfield playing very deep not wanting anything over their heads checks over to First back safely that one finds the zone and it's O and one [Applause] two outs just missed the pitch strike on the outside and the count one and [Applause] two and another ball and a swing and a miss and that's that second inning coming up here in Kansas City no score back here at Coffman Stadium New inning getting started here's Kevin po Kevin po the rander back to work and delivers [Applause] outside inside corner at the knees for a strike Carl Dixon working to play in this one you know we often hear and talk about umpires being a pitcher umpire but boo Dixon Maybe a little bit more hitter friendly than most he's kind of tight on the corners so we'll see if that comes into play at all in this one that's ball to pitch misses ball what about an umpire's height how much of a role does that play in your experience and what the strike zone is like yeah I think it pushes the strike zone up a little bit which you know as a former hitter you like that you wanted the ball up you didn't want to have to deal with stuff down in the zone consistently the two two spoils the two strike pitch and he'll see another well he hasn't gotten the result yet but it's got to feel pretty confident three foul balls in a row he's right on this and down on strikes now one away and now the catcher comes up to him Logan [Applause] oapp hard hit to third the young throws to First in time two up two down Brandon jury to the [Applause] plate on the corner for a strike one [Applause] one that one to First tosses to the pitcher covering the bag Angels retired one two three so they make short work of them there now to the bottom of the second no score and welcome back to the ballpark now it's the veteran outfielder hter rro Hunter rro Canon back to work that one catches the Zone strike one dangerous spot for that slider right there didn't seem to quite finish out front and get that sharp break tell you what he doesn't want to throw that pitch again bounce to the left side and it goes just foul and a pitch that Miss and it's one and two will you see a pitcher just wasted pitch like that the batter wasn't even tempted to swing every pitch needs to have a purpose that it can set up a following pitch to help you get that out in the air Left Field Ward right there to make the grab one up one down good pitch he just kind of had him out in front on that pitch away and wasn't able to stay closed Freddy fine steps in for the Royals and that one ripped into right that's a hit so they get a man aboard with a one out single the first here's Garrett hampson hson [Applause] [Applause] and that's in there for strike [Applause] one nothing nothing here in the bottom of the [Music] second that pitch just misses the inside corner and the count one and two [Applause] and another [Applause] ball goes down looking oh just excellent location on that inside fast ball really locked it up and say hit it's not typically what you're looking for you're trying to protect away and then in so you can be a little bit tardy with two strikes hard to tell if he was fooled or if he thought it' be called the ball but either way that's a really nice pitch now it's Paul D young up to the plate that misses and that is ball one two gone but the goahead run is at first bottom half of inning number two and Swinging to miss wow no fair right there I mean that slider didn't move to the very last moment incredibly difficult to pick that up just kind of have to tip your cap on that pit and that one pulled [Applause] foul here's a onew got inning over Royals leave one we'll move to the third with no score and we're back here's Joe Adell right Joe Adell here the right hter back to wor and a breaking ball drops in for a strike [Applause] down the left field line should be extra bases around first heading for two it's a leadoff double to start the third just a solid swing right there caught it out FR and ripped it into the Outfield base hit those always feel great runner in scoring position now and a good opportunity to push across the first run of the ball game so up next Michael stefanic and ball one man it's second pulls that one [Applause] foul the one one now One Missed no outs runner on [Applause] second the pitch help in the dirt runner holds and it's a full [Applause] count and a foul ball he stays alive the pitch in the air fairly deep to right field Ren fro sizing this one up he's got it grounder tags it second and he makes it up to third with one awayy here's Anthony randone up to the plate you have to find a way to score the runner from especially with less than two outs wait for the pitch you want and hit it as hard as you can first offering and it just [Applause] misses just missed one away with a runner at third we're here in the top half of inning number three next pitch in for a strike and it's two and one now in today's game not that many fast 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 offering popped in the air right field that's a base headit as a run scores comes through with the RBI with the way Defenders track down balls these days I mean both from the infield and in the Outfield there really aren't a lot of base hits on balls hit like that but there's always a little room back behind the first and second basem to drop a long Dart in there and he found a way Taylor Ward the next to hit for the angels He was a strikeout victim his first time that one fouled off [Applause] [Applause] and that's in the dirt ball one well with the amount of pitches that can end up in the dirt a good secondary lead doesn't have to get away from the catcher but if you're anticipating based off the trajectory get yourself in the scoring position kicks and heals and that's in the dir oh he might have to look for a different put away pitch right here two two he's already seen the curveball couple of times in this at that so might have it timed up and ready for it missed with a change up counts full three and two and just swinging a miss and there two outs Zach nto the next to hit for the Angels 0 for one with a fly out to Center [Applause] just off the Inside [Applause] Edge pitch misses now two [Applause] and0 right through there for a strike [Applause] swing and he breaks his b that's a foul ball [Music] [Applause] finish two outs and another ball great RBI spot here just got to stay focused on the pitch the runner will be in motion so something in the Gap should definitely score battling here as he fouls it away righty to the plate got him swinging snuck the fast ball by him but the RBI single pushes across a run it's now one- nothing ready to go for the last half of the inning and stepping in is the Speedy drone Blanco the wi to the pitch swinging a foul back that's out of [Applause] play the pitch and a sang and a line drive at a right field Adele makes the grab one down now second back to the top of the lineup now here's the lead off hitter for the Royals walked to open the ball game he swings and hits a Fly ball center field has a beat on it PS it in for the out and there's two down the batter number seven short stop now at the plate Bobby Whit Jr and remember he was absolutely robbed of a base hit last time up that's down and in a slider missed counts one and0 [Applause] next offering in there for a strike and the count one and one the line in the pitch and a base hit up the middle and that extends the inning just so sound in his mechanics hits against a firm front side and the hands just continue to carry through middle of the field Vinnie pasquantino steps in for the Royals canny checks the runner and he's back in safely first pitch misses [Applause] and the right-hander deals Runner takes off save at second and that was not close two outs is a great time to try to steal second especially when you have a guy with some Wheels On First Defense probably knew it was coming but figured we better focus on trying to get this hitter [Applause] out at the belt and fires on the ground to the left and that hits off the base and and that rolls into the corner oh the throw is over his head and he'll make it to second base with two G well there you go the RBI machine another clutch run scoring it back yeah he's been so good in these situations call a clutch if you want but his resume speaks for itself Salvador Perez steps in for the Royals oh0 for one he struck out swinging last time that one a little bit high and that's ball one the strategy of winning a ball game when you could make that pitcher work a little more expose himself by throwing pitches that could be the key to winning perhaps later on so good job of extending this inning getting a knock with two outs to bring the number four hole hitter up two ball little trouble with this one behind the plate to third T got him that ends the inning and stops things from getting out of hand KC gets one on the double all even now at 1-1 back after this on the show back here at coffin Stadium John chambie with Chris Singleton and set to lead off the fourth Nolan shanell W back to work on the inside corner for a strike pitching well but not throwing a ton of first pitch strikes usually doesn't work out for success but he can never predict baseball ball one misses just off the outside edge I think that was a strike the pitch and that one fouled [Applause] off the wi the kick in the onew fights it off he'll see [Applause] another swings and misses at the breaking B theer in time to get him one away in the strike out well he really filled up the strike zone and that it bad until that final pitch and as a hitter you sense that they're coming after you not dancing around the strike zone They want to attack and so you kind of get into swing mode and you have to protect PL that's when you become really susceptible to something that makes you chase that's exactly what happened right there next to hit Kevin par that's through there for a strike par in his 10th season 35 years old he joined the team as a free agent one out base is empty right through there for a strike quickly in an O2 Hall we're going to have to give something up here in terms of power if you want to put the ball in play with any Authority that missed by a lot one and two the count and misses inside one down base is empty foul ball another two two upcoming [Applause] here comes a pitch ground ball to the right side and that's just [Applause] foul the two two now picks up strike out number seven here's the Angels catcher Logan OA round it out his first [Applause] swing and a ball driven pretty well out towards left Center and makes the play and that's out number three out to the bottom of the fourth tied 1-1 [Applause] back here in Kansas City and now the DH Salvador [Applause] Perez as he turns on the rubber with that good live arm delivers that misses the Zone ball one well these Royals doing a great job boo of just waiting for the right pitch to come their way and I'm seeing very patient bats out of him he's only given up one run but the starter's pitch count is starting to get up there and that might be the best news yet for this offense and a foul ball you know sometimes all it takes is getting to the next arm before an offense does any damage and that might be the case [Applause] today righty delivers good job to fight that one off and the [Music] pitch out towards left Center sizes this one one up brings it in one down the right number 16 now it's Hunter rro fly to left his first [Applause] time pass ball for a strike all tied up we're here in the bottom of the fourth and that's a little High one and one I got a ball one [Applause] St next offering pop foul off to the right out of play you can see was trying to stay back long enough to handle the off speed pitch but just a little turny on the fast ball and that one is in the dirt and the count is two and [Applause] two in the air left field no trouble here puts it away for the out and there's two away the catch ready here's the catcher Freddy fine one for one with a single so far and there's a strike on the outside corner well he's been incredibly efficient 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 until this point two down dolman on that misses the zone now two balls in a [Applause] strike and a foul ball [Applause] [Applause] cha that's foul off to the right side keeps the ab going two out Bas is empty spoils that one and it remains two and two five foul balls in a row I have no idea what that feels like but you got to love this battle a threw it by him a swing and a miss at the fast ball to in the inning Royals bats are quiet there score remains deadlocked at one ready now for the fifth inning so in now for the Angels Brandon Drury the wi to kick the pitch up and in one and0 you know these angels as this game goes on have to be more disciplined at the play chasing pitches has been a big part of the story we've seen it quite a bit today it's been tough for them to make contact at times and it just doesn't look like they're seeing it very well as a group and on the mound you know confidence has to be pretty high with all of the swings and misses he's had him eaten out of the palm of his hand pretty much all game and the righty deals gets a piece and stays alive here's a two- two goes down swinging for the strike out pulled the string on the change well you see him trying to pull that inside pitch right there and that's not the kind of approach that you want to have even if you do get to it it's going to be very difficult to keep it fair you're just going to make it a long strike at best you have to be able to stay Within the baseball on the inside of that path to it and that way if you're a little quick the ball gets hit hard somewhere and it's not foul and now it's going to be Joe Adell oh one's the count B is empty one away and we're in the top of the [Applause] fif and there's a ball one and one [Applause] and a rope into center field base hit so man aboard now with one away wasting no time he's two for two now on the night and just a triple and home run away from the cycle seriously we're starting with this [Applause] already one gone runner at first now the third baseman Michael stefanic ripped to right center and that should be extra bases Adele round second on his way to third coming home he'll score and The Angels Take the Lead it's two to one love how he let that ball travel trusted his hands nice job going the other [Applause] way one out runner at second Anthony re and making his way to the plate ripped to short Zips it to First that takes care Bren 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 here's the left fielder Taylor Ward who's over for two with a pair of [Applause] strikeouts close but called the ball and it's on to [Applause] know that's down and in struggled a little bit in this one couple of strikeouts earlier but doing a much better job in this at bat to get ahead and find a good hitters count at two and0 kicks and fires that one misses and now three and0 Zack nto on deck for the Angels [Applause] three- now so now two on and two outs they just came apart right there four pitch walk and guy at the play was not going to help him out by swinging at something out of the zone and next for the Angels Zack [Applause] nto here's a high High Fly ball out to Center sizing this one up brings it in for the third out Angels get one on this double and it's now a 2-1 ball game and welcome back to the ballpark bottom of the inning and to the play for Kansas City Garrett hampson the line of the pitch in the dirt and that is ball [Applause] one they tried to get him to chase on a slider down and Away not showing great command so far in this at bat two count he's got to execute here or this could get ugly and that is in for a strike now two and one [Applause] and he lays down a bun and he be hands it fires to First wow he got him what a play that was pretty right there beautiful Play here's the third baseman all the young struck out swinging his first time and he Dodges that fast B home team down a run last half of inning number five Insight just [Applause] missed and a foul ball makes the count two and one one down basee is empty and strike two two and another [Applause] ball foul we'll see another payoff pit [Applause] and here it comes now it's Bon deep to left way out of here home run that was blasted to the Moon his 21st of the year and this game is tied it's 22 he put a charge into that one that was a lightning swing right there no doubt about it we take another look as statcast tells us that ball took off at 110 mil an aage and plenty of distance as well I mean that was an impressive home rber he squared it up and knew it was [Applause] gone digging in it's the Speedy outfielder drone Blanco first pitch just misses kicks andand deal fouled off he was late the pitch and that's downed away action in the pen down there Brock Burke the left hander up and [Applause] throwing that one a little bit high and now three balls and a strike swing and a ball popped up Drury as this one sized up pulls it down and he makes the catch now second mik G now here's the lead off hitter for the Royals he's over one po foul out of play off to the right I want to start that load a little bit sooner because of the good V and that one sliced foul two outs ground ball left side on to first that's the third out the Royals get a run in the Inning on this solo Homer two two game you're watching Major League Baseball on the show top of the sixth inning leading off Nolan shanell and the pitch and that one just misses a ball and no strikes double barreled action in the bullpen Lucas airay appears to be getting loose Smith a left-hander also throwing Swang at a miss and it's one and one and he really sells the change up with that arm Action Line Drive short hop to third throws across the diamond now one gone in the top of the six the Kevin so here's the cleanup hitter Kevin polar he's been a great free agent sign [Applause] and the first pitch misses for ball one and that one is inside one down base is empty foul back ourway and that's out of play pretty impressive we haven't seen that pitch from him much but he's got a really good feel when he throws it still two and two after the foul ball Edie de swing and a miss hold the string of the change up well that's a blue zone right there hold Zone on the hitting chart just doesn't have much success in that part of the strike zone and a really good job of the pitcher executing try to go there as often as you can the numbers are in your favor and here's the catcher Logan ohappy zinker gets the bottom of the zone and that's a strike two down nobody on and we're the top half of the six next one is off the plate and it's a ball on a strike foul ball finish him and the pitch swing in a miss and he's down on strikes and good work there as he gets a one two three so no runs no hits no errors and no one left 2 three4 do up in the home half of the six we are tied 22 and we're back bottom of the six now it's the short stop Bobby Whit Jr and a pitch there's a strike activity in the bullpen Jose kih getting loose out there Fulmer the rander also getting loose [Applause] the [Applause] pitch high in the air out to R Adele calls it in and there's one away the left fielder number n Vinnie now the left fielder Vinnie pasquantino one for two [Applause] Clips the corner man I mean nice job just presenting it to be better than it actually was Fly ball center field par coming on he's got it and there's two down now the desicated Salvador Perez steps in for the Royals [Applause] he swings and fouls one off the pitch that one off the mark and it's one and [Applause] one looked like it was a little bit up all tied up here in the bottom of the six outside corner there's a [Applause] strike swings and misses and a nice inning of work there as he sets him down one two three nothing doing for the Royals score remains deadlock at 22 here's a new pitcher from the pen Lucas AET he last pitched two days [Applause] ago so digging in Brandon Drury the second B Brandon [Applause] Drury the pitch fast ball for a strike it's over one air Sig a 62 righty he features a sinker a for seamer a change up and he works in a slider grips one to right and foul ball the healthy cut tough pitch at 98 but a really good pass at the ball and the rhander deals one B inside almost got him next offering misses and it's to a two chases that one out of the Zone one away that was a really nice pitch call for that put away slider right there look at the sequence in that at bat and he hadn't thrown it yet so this makes it really tough to recognize and fight off with two strikes I'm sure it looked like the fast ball all the way until it wasn't Joe Adell the next to hit for the angels and takes low for ball one [Applause] at the belt and fires foul ball [Applause] there the pitch and another Ball B is empty one away here in the top half of inning number [Applause] seven and a foul ball knocks that one away and we do it again here comes a pitch fou ball another two- two [Applause] upcoming spoils the two strike pitch and he'll see another good battle here about to be the eighth pitch of the evat strike three got him looking on the CH now the third baseman Michael Stefan Micha [Music] [Applause] St here's the strike of the knees [Applause] check SL he went too far and it's a strike no ball two strike [Applause] gets a piece there we'll do it [Applause] again two down nobody on the other way he's got it and that is out number three and the angels are gone in order and this game is still tied at two and two we're back in a new pitcher here to start the bottom of the seventh Carson Fulmer and he's had a struggle so far this year as you can see the inflated ER looking to bring that down a little bit right here now it's Hunter rro the right field Hunter rro the pitch and that one in the air center field par sizes this one up and there's one [Applause] down the battle the catcher and now the catcher comes up to him Freddy forine 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 Off the Mark there ball one yeah and because he's got the big harm he pays attention to the running game and is sure to manage it that's outside and it's two and0 you have a catcher that can throw like that a pitcher doesn't have to worry as much about the slide step he can keep his mechanics intact and have a better opportunity of getting that hitter out with a swing and Miss well that was one of those High Advantage counts where batting averages are just so much higher that's a good sound coming off the bat and as he connected out into the out field that's one of those swings where you just don't even feel the ball hit the barrel that's a poor stroke and next up for the Royals Garrett [Applause] hson and that one a little below the knees and that's ball one [Applause] rander kick steals B oh he doesn't get the call and that's ball [Music] two right through there for a strike if you're a base runner you got to stay dialed in here look for anything in the dirt try your best to get in the scoring position and fouled off the two strikes may see some movement over there at first base trying to stay out of the double play right here and another ball on this count Runner not known for his speed but I think you got to put him in motion try to avoid a double play here Bo one away tie game goad run stands at first foul ball and it remains a Full Count payoff pitch and ball four to a board now here's the third Bas Al Young he's already homed in this [Applause] game and that one fouled off [Applause] maybe a two ball five four three it's a double play and that'll do it for the inning well we can never overstate it pitcher's best friend right there double play gets out of the jam saves some pitches welcome back in a new arm of the m to start the E Carlos [Applause] Hernandez now it's Anthony randone the designated Anthony rone [Applause] and here it comes and ball one you don't want to get beat by a fast ball in and he spits on that one just [Applause] missed there's the strike that was absolute gas triple digits on the gun it's just a different EXP experience as a hitter watching that go by puts it in the air out towards left Center he's got it and there's one down well such a confidence boost for a relever to come into the ball game and get the first hitter he faces just makes everything slow down a little bit and then from there can really settle [Applause] in W in the box now takes strike one meanwhile activity in the bullpen Michael Lorenzen the hard throwing righty is up and loosening Smith also getting ready and the righty deals and that's in for a stke wow we call that keyho 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 that misses the zone and that's ball one that's a really good job of laying off the O2 High fast ball is going to make that pitcher really have to respect this hitter even though he's behind in the count all tied up and we're in the top of the eight and that one is lifted in the air it gets down the base [Applause] hit always feels amazing getting a job done when the team needs you to come it's just bigger than your own individual stats looked around that pitch on the outside but he was still able to square it up pretty nicely and that takes quick strong risk to pull that off one down runner at first and the batter now Zack nto and a strike oh and one the1 and that's in there at the knees good appr right there you want to get something just a little higher that you can Elevate stay out on that double play on the ground oh great stop on a second to get one to First not in time great effort there well there's a lot riding on that in Bat right there nice job with a pitcher to Bear Down make the pitch get the ground ball excellent piece of work and here is Nolan shanell 0 for three with two strikeouts and a ground out late with the swing there one's the count two gone the possible go-ahead run at first that's a little bit low in the air out towards right seven settles underneath it brings it in and that's the third out Angels leave one score remains 22 back here in Kansas City bottom of the eight here's the center fielder drone [Music] Blanco Fulmer back to work right down to shoot and that's strike one and the pitch is outside ball one kicks and fires a big swing and a miss i' say that stay in the for a long time no chance of even fouling it off and that one almost got [Applause] him two and two that one just misses that's a really good take number 11 to bat next [Music] [Applause] [Applause] got him swinging oh there's a small side of relief right there I mean just to keep that speed off the base pass 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 be in 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 next offering is in for a strike ball St [Applause] swings through that he has a tendency to chase out of the zone and that slider that's down that's one of his money pitches to get that swing and miss the one two that to right Adele snags it on the Run excellent play out there and he does it in a huge spot that wall it can very easily jar the ball loose when you bang into it so that could have been a really different outcome [Applause] line to right and that'll be a base hit Joey gets on base and keeps it going all over that one right there anytime you rip a line drive the other way you feel really good about what you did at the plate you trusted your hands you let the ball travel and you took the barrel straight to it that's great work right there and now let's see if they force some action with good Wheels on the bases two outs runner at first here's the left fielder Vinnie pasquantino one for three Off the Mark there and it's w and0 ball one no [Applause] stri with the goahead run at first here the bottom half of the eighth inning in the air right field Adele sizing this one up drops it to the glove and that will end the inning so one hit is all they get ninth inning coming up we are tied 22 back here at Kaufman stadium and now the center fielder Kevin po Kevin and the pitch right field down the line and that one slices down that's off in there for a strike and count is 0 and [Applause] two just misses the mark outside the Zone man oh man I don't know how you take that pitch that's as close as it gets foul ball still a one and two count righty delivers keeps the back going with a foul [Applause] ball and another ball this guy's a fun guy to watch take bad he just battles up there he doesn't take a pitch off at all makes it so difficult on the pitchers out there you could tell they get frustrated with how long it takes to put him away wouldn't chase that time Logan oapp up next right-handed reliever bounce to the left side and it's just fouled that was [Applause] close and a pitch that it working that's a strike down well just couldn't pull the trigger on the fast right there and I don't think he was taking it thinking it might be a ball or anything I just think he was out frozen did not expect that location in my opinion here's the Angels catcher Logan ohy Oh for three a fly out of ground out and a strike out first pitch and he just missed [Applause] [Applause] misses one down base is empty that misses the zone and now two and0 he hasn't wanted to challenge in 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 the pitch that one misses three and0 Brandon Drury up next for the Angels here's a three-oh that one in there across the [Applause] letters and the 3-1 and that one fouled off righty to the plate he walked him and that will keep things going a great back and forth and that at B to play off some really close pitches and somehow he found a way to keep the bat on his shoulder right there I'll tell you right now I couldn't have done it Michael Lorenzo gets the call from the pen walks have certainly been an issue for him this season so we'll see what kind of command he has Brandon Drury the next to hit for the Angels first pitch doesn't find the zone [Applause] that one missed one away tie game goahead Run stands a [Applause] first Now One Missed now three and0 so definitely a little wild right out of the game well could be a little tough coming from the bullpen mound to this mound but you've got to find a way to get ahead in the count quickly he has it we'll see how this at bat turns out and the pitch and a 3-1 on the way Bing ball here rolls foul trying to keep this a two two game here at the top of the night and The Swinging a Miss that's out number two well that slider down and away it's just kind of a slow de two strikes you're looking to protect and halfway to the plate you know youve committed and you know you're going to have no chance touching it tell you what sometimes you just have to tip your cap and next for La Joe [Applause] Adell in the [Applause] dirt and an excellent job keeping it right there [Applause] two outs [Applause] ins outside three and one will he been able to slow down the game tonight with his it bats and the biggest one he's had so far he doesn't look anxious at all the pitch fouls one away and now three and two and a pitch swing and a miss and that is that 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 [Applause] inning and welcome back to the ballpark bottom of the night so here's the Royals DH Salvador [Applause] Perez and he deals and the first pitch misses for ball one action in the Bullpen Jose kih appears to be getting ready and I'm sure he's feeling some nerves this would be his major league [Applause] debut just missed you get to this part of the order yeah there's some pop there but more likely there are some base hits so very important to be patient let the piter walk you if you will next offering is in for a strike and that's a strike a little frustrated with the strike zone now all even up and a foul ball he stays [Applause] alive two two now foul off the plate they'll do it again [Applause] way outside and it's three and two puncher Ren throw next up for Kansas [Applause] City and a swing and a miss the hatrick a huge out to start the bottom of the night I'm not sure what he was waiting on right there he got the change up and still laid on it you rarely see that it almost makes you think that he was trying to set the pitcher up I mean if you can't catch up to the off speed stuff there's no way you're going to touch a fast henro at the plate three fly outs already he's over for three that misses off the outside edge [Applause] bases empty one away we're in the last half of the ninth inning popped up on the left side of the infield Stefan moving under it he's got it out number two now the catch Freddy fre here's the catcher Freddy fine known for his late inning heroics in for a strike and it's O and one [Applause] trying to send this to Extra Innings that just misses now one of two that's awfully close I don't know how you take that he's seeing the ball out of the pitcher's hand really well right now this to third Zips it across that's the third out and we're headed to extras and we're back now the third baseman Michael stefanic man it's second nobody out Chris certainly one of the things in his head is trying to get the runner over yeah the way that we see the game played today though guys are not sacrificing as much just to get that Runner across they're really looking at doing damage slugging is the name of the [Applause] game next offering way upstairs yeah I think part of that goes into it's just so hard to come up with hits in today's game starters don't go deep and so hitters are seeing multiple pitchers every night and that makes it more challenging just to come up with a single and the one two misses to even the count they 95 to finish him off next to hit Anthony rendone now first base open really no reason to pitch to this hitter right here put him on have the force at second first perhaps getting any ending double play Swing and a miss that strike one well a come and get me fast right there he didn't look ready for the velocity I think it'd be a mistake to throw him anything off speed right here one out the goahead run is it second and thises [Applause] [Music] inside swing in a miss and now two and two you throw a fast by a guy like that I imagine it's got to feel incredible look for him to throw it again at some point and that's skip senator [Applause] on the ground to short Whit sends it across the first that takes care Bren left back to the top of the Angels lineup Taylor Ward the next to hit for the Angels [Applause] up and in ball one count one [Music] [Applause] and0 swing and a ball lifted left field pasquantino on the move to the alley squeezes it and that's the third out no runs no base hits no errors and a runner left on to the bottom of inning number 10 we are tied two2 Jose kih will take over here number 65 [Applause] Jose runner in scoring position no outs Garrett hampson getting ready to hit the pitch and that one missing low right through there for a [Applause] strike in the air left side Ward drifts towards it makes the grab one away up next to the Royals the third basem PA now a move being made for a pinch hitter Michael Massie and this is a big at bat coming Bove definitely a little added pressure on him [Applause] here that one finds the zone and that is strike one one away the winning run at second and that's off the Inside Edge and the count even one and [Applause] one well if he's going to do something special right here it's going to have to happen with two strikes the winning run on second base bouns it off still one and [Applause] two that ball is foul and the pressure is building with the winning run standing at second and we're in the last half of the 10 [Applause] just misses with that one tough take right there he swings at that more often than [Applause] [Music] not next pitch is outside he's really tightening up his Hitting Zone with two strikes here I love it drone Blanco on deck for the Royals one away and the game-winning run stands at second in the air out to Center he's got it there's two [Applause] away the center fi number 44 gyro Blanco so up now for Kansas City drone Blanco and there's no doubt that they'll feed off the energy from this crowd right I mean yeah I'd say the intensity level has gone up a few notches for sure swung on beled way back there and it's up the crosses the winning run and the Royals walk it off an extra innings you know you had to feel the pressure winning run on second base found a way to make solid contact and the winning run comes across the score everyone going crazy exciting finish to this game today a 32 final score in this one a one-run Extra Inning win for Chris Singleton and our entire outstanding crew here at MLB the Show I'm John Shi
