Tampa Bay Rays vs Minnesota Twins inning 3-5 Game Highlights -MLB 9/4/2024-MLB Season 2024.

lck maybe yeah that pitch was never a strike that that was a nasty fall out out of his hand don't you think there shouldn't there be Alexander was supposed to be the opener the bulk guy the bulk guy I'm sorry yeah the bulk guy in that's true inning number two 34 he's back up for the second time there we go okay so walner spot p on Deck then waler this early yeah cuz he's one of their better relievers you would think they would save him for you know the the last part of the of the ball game it's not walk many his walk rate is under 3% and yeah you can see spot [Music] there it was 30 now the walk Santana leads the Twins and now Lewis had a nice at bat against Cole Soler eventually single to right that was outside but presented well by rvet yeah it's already tough to hit Kevin Kelly when he's actually in the strike [Applause] zone even that Sinker right there that Sinker had so much movement on it's almost impossible for a right-handed hitter to square that ball up you have to keep those hands and the Sinker retires Lewis twins get to walk one run games every time in terms of one run games the twins 21 and 17 ninth best winning per of its games L decided by one run and what's out of that are on that Winning Side the top four top five teams winning percentage in one-run games those are going to now on the outside looking in hit hard up the Middle look out Lou it was played by Lee he throws out Ben wett one to win those one run ball games that usually tell you that they're the most disciplined and they do the little things right and you know it sets them up Taylor walls hitting only 167 barland four up and four down so far walls has appeared in 65 game third round pick in [Music] 2017 like that fast ball right there up in be hard for hitters to get on top of that pitch it's right and playable for walner PL is celebrating historically black colleges and universities on September night at Target Field a special ticket t-shirt get your tickets right now at twins.com HBCU RZ in the opening inning but did not score on men that Diaz led the American League in B 70s entering play tonight Lewis with his third round ball and makes the play routinely so varlin six lead off the twins fourth inning as we take a look at our in the driver seat brought to you by Hyundai and wall Nur amongst his teammates first in Ops slugging home runs extra base hits WRC plus League WRC plus since the allstar break and he stays in as the Lefty Tyler Alexander is now pitching for Tyler Alexander the bolt guy the guy that was scheduled to come in after Cole Soler comes in the game Diaz close play at first and just in time to get walner by a step but as Diaz found his teammate Alexander walner outs by a step Tyler Alexander doing his job working on the pfp practice that you work on in the back field and spring training just beat J Miranda two for 10 now in this series in hard to left going to round first base and he will make second without a throw so Miranda has a one out double here hard this season Ops over 820 see right there a fast ball does a good job at turning on that pitch getting the head out and getting things going for the twins 28th double throwing here at Tropicana Field at the trop alone this year the former Detroit Tiger Tyler Alex's thrown in the fourth inning and Kevin cash seeing that Matt walner was going to lead off this inning was Will Rocko live Lefty now you have a lefty coming up do I win that match up yeah for later in the game it may look good if he's not in play anymore I'll take that that chance that's the chess match that Kevin cash was trying to play right there I think but think he has been trusting him against left-handed pitcher so that was an easy decision for Rocco to keep walner in there wor V unable to twins did not have too many chances last night with Runners and scoring last night two for 10 in the win on Monday mirand is in [Music] score L to right field that's a base hit and so Jeffers goes the other way with a one out single the twins have Runners at the corners here comes the that right there from Ryan Jeffers understanding that Tyler Alexander he's not going to come inside he just got beat inside corner so you see him right there go with the pitch and get a base at the right field perfect game plan against this type of pitcher Chad as Diaz and Jeffers Converse Jose Miranda Throne also as we just saw with both Miranda and Jeffers a High Line Drive rate position play [Music] depth looked like Castro had all of his pads on the wrong arm and the wrong oh two pitch right there will a Castro I know he's probably the thing with Tyler Alexander you know has five pitches throws pretty much all of them at any time so Jan Castro strikes out two down with a Tempo ball I think Willie was ready for a fast ball cuz he threw that pitch the pitch before that but that one was just get this at bat Lefty on left Yu's three for 16 with six strikeouts has One RBI all year off a left-handed [Applause] pitcher so Kyle Snider came out to Chad with his pitcher since then five strikes 0 and two and now lck will take his time here on Monday night off Zack latel A Line Drive Homer that landed in the seats okay met larck after the game out a ball and a side bat to left Center and Johnny Duca ranging over makes the play and the twin it's that time for Toyota to get you all caught up we are here in the bottom of the fourth inning and we have already seen Ronnie Enriquez opening things up for the twins Kevin Kelly Louis varlin and Tyler Alexander they all have one thing in common no 100 thanks twins had the best Chance by far unable to capitalize last half inning and now a 1-1 count varland six up six down he has struck out one [Applause] [Music] to Center Castro single for LA and The Ray have their second base hit [Music] tonight hope Willie Castro's all right oh yeah there on that hop right there [Applause] hopefully he'll be able to walk this one off so Nick pop rest is out there as Willie is now on his feet now speaking of Center Field tonight worth noting that Byron b all nine innings in Center for St Paul tonight at home against Iowa that's great news good to see him hopefully soon good to see Will's okay play the Minnesota Lottery because anything can happen when you say lead off single for Brandon La now Junior cam where Louis varland made his return to the twins as a bullpen arm it began on September 6 and it was a so much so that he made the postseason roster as a power Bullpen arm at times he was asked to throw one inning sometimes two sometimes even in three he was racking up the strikeouts this is Lou career smaller sample yes but he and just walked cero on four straight Josh low do up for Tampa Bay well I think that's where his value comes in at mention you know bring him bring him in the game for one inning he can get his fast ball up to 98 99 and he also can go five six Innings if you need him to so it's actually perfect for a team that has had some injuries this [Applause] year ni strikeout rate for Josh [Music] low harlett tonight already velocity is up just missed come on the curveball in particular is about St Paul zone no score Castro backs up the step now makes the catch tagging going to third is Brandon Lao holding it first retired but laau advances down to third so one out first and third here in the fourth inning things that help you win ball games caught the ball he knew the runner from second base was he hit the cut off man and kept the runner at first base so now Louie has an opportunity hopefully to get a double play here Tampa Bay as the cutter misses outside for ball one C the runner at first La at third knocked down by made the team out of Camp was probably on the outside looking in but then once we learned of Anthony D leani team showing bu throw back to Third and Pitch was high and no play potential squeeze in play there but the pitch was high yeah definitely a safety squeeze attempt right there three and two on DeLuca the pitch has popped up behind the play this will be [Music] foul Del Lucas at safely in 10 of his last 13 and center field tonight for Jose Siri we saw last night stumbled his way back into first cero runs the pitch fouled back again Marin a 1 two3 second a one two 33 there's the second one and it's thrown away into foul territory La will score so VAR a throwing air and the Rays strike first is one nothing see barlin he just was worried about Camero CU Camero had take let one sail away from him infield now in on bobbled by Le comes home anyway dropped by Vasquez two nothing everybody's safe two nothing Rays not the cleanest half inning of yeah this was a tough H tough tough hop I'm sorry excuse me for and throw it at the same time and he bobbled it and then almost made a a really nice throw but just out of the reach of Christian cero on a breath needs some water and Jose Siri and Christopher Morell come on come on yeah I agree it is the fielders Choice RBI out to chat with Harlin see if Louie can reset and start a new here hit a costly error and a Fearless choice and DeLuca he'll run 15 stolen bases yeah soon yeah he was thinking about it a lot going on over these last what 10 pitches next base runner that's that's on your mind right totally agree you know he's rattled right now maybe a little bit perfect think Vin just needs to take a deep breath right here just re try to reset focus on Carlson obviously Swit buns this one to third Miranda will be hand no play that was Carlson on his own mainly where they were not yeah and a bun single for Carlson yeah that's good baseball right there you got to you got to tip your half hat off for PL him to pull he didn't have to be perfect you saw him right there he made sure he got the bun down he knew that as long as he got it down now Jose cavier strike one once again varlin one cavier brought it out to short earlier tonight [Applause] cabier one and two b h to left Center DeLuca will score going to third base is Carl [Applause] that was hit hard yeah it was it just caught a little bit too much plate on that curve ball especially what did Jose cabier favor right there watch this curveball just hang right over the middle of the plate with two strikes so how quickly this has changed I mean Garland was dominating this race team the contact is picked up here in the fourth inning and behind once again this time i' Ben WV leading the team in stolen bases leading the American League in stolen bases so I got to imagine he's going to be looking to run right here 37 stolen bases for cabier continue to put pressure on you this is how they have to win games [Music] just the putaway pitch at times hasn't been there two strikes we've seen that quite a bit this half inning yeah it just seems like they've been all over a lot taken that's what we've seen this inning round ball right side coming home Lewis and to third cavro down to Second goes R it's 4 nothing and Lewis looked like he made a good play and Vasquez just could not hang on to it and Carlson scored got the home plate before the runner like you said Vasquez just not able to hang on to that you see Royce Lewis got rid of that ball really quickly Carlson scores work vet coming in six nothing Tampa Bay [Music] here yeah just another pitch that was left out over the middle of the plate right there was charged with a throwing error by the way on the w v at bat allowing cabero now warming up and0 on Diaz as Vasquez is out for a [Music] visit Diaz to center field hit deep Castro going back and the Hit Parade continues the rays are blowing out the twins it's eight nothing all this in the fourth inning as Farland you and the Rays have batted around and have put up eight as still just one out here in the fourth [Applause] inning fast ball center cut right there and that will end the night and Vin knew it head down looking back two dominant innings and then frustration the stakes and two and one third and yti Diaz ending Vin night with a two-run homer to Center and a strike Scott B it coming in the game bottom of the fourth inning with one out see if he can get the pitch this season as a three- pitch mix slider four seamer and a split finger third time now in the last nine days where a twin starter has been or in this case you know Louis varland bayy over against Atlanta zebie Matthews against Toronto now Verlin puts up allows eights here in tough because put more pressure obviously on on the bullpen and they've thrown a lot of innings and the guys just have to figure a way how to you know just how to muster through this and the city began with a Brandon La [Music] single yeah just a tough day for Lou I I can I just wonder how much the Aaron pickoff throw just kind just kind of set him back you know just was a lot happened that inning it really did Lewis up the middle and throws out cir facing Tyler Alexander twins are down eight base H to right and Pitch bottom half of the fourth inning c yeah was Brooks Lee after a long inning down by eight runs one at a time one at a time AB at the Quality AB pass to Baton good way to start this inning Christian Vasquez struck out for five in this series good time tiger Mars's first year with Tampa Bay his 19th game overall nice play by Jose cavier whom we saw at Short this guy's been all over the place over the last couple days making defensive plays all over the field to see this double play started by him got up quickly got the ball to Brandon La started that double play and finished it from our team after that single double play Santana flies out CF alumni which makes me really happy the kid next to you he looked at it for a second and he was like I don't think so who is that and I pointed right over to Wade and Rocco was really as well guys Roger thanks Wade got a chance to meet the young Wocket rocket back in the day he was happier in the photo than he is currently is that fair I think that's that that's fair to say a frustrating night tonight he's been asked to throw multi- Innings a few times now this is with the twins he took a ball right off of his hand and stayed in the game that was against August three Innings no runs Kyle farmer threw two innings but they got tuned in for that game yeah oh he would have won topping up he was top topping out at what about 65 for Josh [Music] [Applause] low and a lead off [Applause] [Music] double there from Josh low hitting that ball right down the left field line where no one one was playing they had him shifted to to the PO side [Applause] night now Johnny Duca with Runners at first and third no score one out last inning and then varland on a run scored and the Damage began as Duca pops out to Short face is [Music] low Josh L's on second base eight nothing think he'll try to steal here is that yeah if if it's there I'm not uh big on the whole Unwritten rules thing I think you play you play it out yeah we can do the same thing one and0 on Dylan Carlson Carlson laid down a bu single last Tropicana Field will be the home for the Rays for the next few seasons 2020 the open up in time for opening day 2028 [Applause] hammer and the new ballpark will be pretty much right outside which is beyond the center field wall here straight away it will be that wasn't a given that was back and forth it looked like maybe half in Montreal that one never had a chance yeah yeah I think some people thought that the Rays organization was done there I think they were serious about it to some extent but like you said f Stadium here I think it's it's time you know this is like I said before a couple days ago this is home and you know this stadium that kind of was inherited by the Rays when they brought the team here it's time for them for years two you know the Rays right now we're in St Petersburg where the mayor of St Petersburg the mayor of Tampa they didn't see momentum for a while that if a new stadium was going to be built perhaps in Tampa yeah and not so much here in St PA Park will be it'll be here in St Petersburg y yeah man look I'm a Tampa guy I grew up in Tampa Tampa St Paul and uh you know Tampa I would say would be synonymous to Minneapolis you know a lot a lot of business and first base was not occupied so Carlson is out number number two oh I'm sorry this is Brandon Lao how part of the fun AB the a ring the B ring C and D they can and will come into play never know what's going to happen when you come to a game here might lose power the ball might hit off last three days going and two on ciero I think twins fan in a lot of ways a competitive Advantage for the home Club it's one of the reasons why I oh and to the count on Jose caviro line to left and that's caught by Trevor lck
