May 22 Padres @ Reds (With stats and standings)

under the lights this evening as we get you set for another edition of baseball on the show tonight an intriguing match-up between the san diego padres and the cincinnati reds into the box now bravic calera and we are set for baseball here this evening and he'll start the ending with a pitch that misses off the plate it's ball one and back to back pitches out of the zone to begin the evening it's 2-0 now temperature here at game time 61 degrees 3-0 now padres shortstop ahead with the three ball one strike count finally got one over nothing worse than starting the game with a four pitch walk fastball right back to the mound and he'll flip onto first to record the out next to the plate for the padres trent grisham and he's a guy looking to break out in a big way hasn't been getting the results he or his club have been hoping for fouled away so far on the year grisham is slugging a little under the 400 mark so the chances of his connecting with the ball right here aren't particularly good ball taken there two and one now fastball is looked at for strike two struck him out digging in tommy pham he has no prior history against this pitcher and a high strike to begin the at-bat it's 0-1 hey this offense better be prepared to pull the trigger this starter is known to be aggressive and come right after you [Applause] hit out towards second mastakis is there throw goes tovado over at first it's in time so coming to the plate nick senzelle he'll lead things off here in the bottom half of the first the feather field left side and that's out number one in now for the reds nicolas castellanos first delivery to him on the way below the zone a swing and a miss and here's a curveball in the dirt that time for a ball 1-1 the pitch sent toward first [Applause] throw gets him two down in now joey vado looking to get on base and keep this first inning alive and a ball 1-0 1-0 a 1-1 count to the reds first baseman you could bet he wants that one back at the plate right now that's a pitch you normally see a guy drive if he has the right approach going throw to first will get him easily and the side is retired and in steps manny machado he'll get us started in the top of the second popped him up farmer is under it and he hauls it in for the first out of the inning so one away here with the bases empty and standing in here's the first baseman eric hosmer swinging a ball hit softly on the ground and quickly there are two away here's will myers ready with the first pitch here it comes and he tries to hold back on the swing but i think it would have been ruled a strike anyway it's nothing in one that's over but low it's a ball and a strike two balls and a strike now is add misses to the san diego right fielder what we're seeing here is a guy getting pitched to very carefully it doesn't matter that there's two outs and nobody on he's a threat to score even when he's standing in the batter's box swung on and missed and that's the final out of the inning so now the reds clean up hitter mike moustakis a couple of hits in five trips to the plate for him back on wednesday skyed in the air to straight away left fam is there one pitch one out now with the plate there is aquino you'll get to take his first cuts here here's the pitch ground ball left side and a base head into left field so they've got themselves a one out base [Applause] that'll runner in philip irvin yes he'll pick on the first pitch and line one back up the middle and that's a base hit [Applause] next up will be kyle farmer as the first pitch to him runs a bit inside for bowl one he enters play here at 288 still without a home run and six rbis in the dirt and now let's see the runners will hold but meanwhile the count moves to 2-0 comes set now the pitch his put in play to the right side of the infield scooped up and indeed he'll not even try as he goes to first and that means two men are in scoring position now with two away two men on two out and up next the former philly shortstop freddie galvez swung on and missed it's 0-1 he's had some success so far but he's going to need to continue to throw strikes early on to the zone because the more they see this guy sooner or later they're going to figure him out lofted in the air out toward right center profar is there and he puts this one away i'm digging in now for san diego jurickson profile 789 bottom of the order set to go here in the third ball one to start the at-bat and it's fouled away [Applause] fouled off again and now he's in a one-and-two hole [Applause] a little low it's two and two playing cue ball and he fouls this one off and this will miss down low in the dirt so he's working full now at three and two well that sets up a big pitch right here matt because you don't want to lose the leadout guy in a scoreless game it's tough to work around the lead-off walk and this is popped up back behind second there is mustache to look it in for the first out the pitcher matt strom steps up to the plate in a sacrifice situation so let's see if that is indeed on right here galves but wisely no thought of a return throw and the inning will continue he's ready here's the first offering now the fastball is swung on and missed barely able to make contact down 0-2 now swing in a liner foul another 0-2 coming padre still with the big goose egg in the hit column thus far liner towards second but this will be pulled in out there at second base next to hit will be the pitcher sunny gray as we move on to the bottom of inning number three [Applause] hit back up the middle reigned in crow on to first in time one away [Applause] ready now nick senzel oh for one forum here in this one first pitch on its way hit hard back up the middle fielded cleanly onto first and very quickly two are gone here in the home third now at the plate nicolas castellanos he got on top of one and was a ground out victim last time couldn't quite hold back that time as the changeup fooled him for strike one down the third baseline but that'll get fouled it's owen two now this one's outside quite a bit off the plate that time still one and two as he fouls it away looked like the fastball got away from him there it's ball two and you know what get this guy some credit up there because this had the look of being a very quick inning he's been able to stretch this at bat out a little bit and that's something that shouldn't go unnoticed and there's a line drive base hit to left field so with two out here that extends the inning for joey votto as he takes a fastball off the plate for a ball one and oh hold for one here in the early going big swing and a miss at the changeup a ball and a strike really deceptive change up right there it died right before the plate and he was left reaching for air [Applause] now the 2-1 pitch a bouncer up the middle he's got it throw in time and the side is retired so striding forward now trent grisham he's all for one thus far too high that time with the innings first pitch hits ball one well if you love pitching in defense this has been a game for you are you happy with that dan i think this continues for a while matt both of these pitchers are throwing very well throwing strikes having good command of their off-speed pitches this is going to be one of those low scoring affairs the count now at two and two ah got him on the good slider there swung on and missed as he's down on strikes for the second time tonight first pitch of the at-bat on its way popped him up but this will land untouched the 0-1 pitch skied into straight away right number 44 is there and he has it for the out [Applause] so now it'll be the four-hole hitter manny machado his last at-bat didn't go his way as he popped out in foul territory the 1-0 home turned on that one and crushed it just pulled it a little foul the 1-1 takes a pass and misses that strike two thought this middle of the order might give him a fight and put up a little bit of resistance but that hasn't been the case he's carving right through them here got him swinging and that will end the inning ready to go in the bottom of the fourth next will be the cleanup hitter mike moustakis he flew out in his last dad back almost maddie almost went deep his last ab certainly just missed it with this guy's big power he's feeling pretty good at the dish look for him to try and get on something and drive it out of the yard this eve into a slide and he makes a great catch for the first down stepping up to the plate there is aquino and that's by him it's 0-1 if this offense is going to be this aggressive i'm going to expect this pitcher and catcher combo to expand the zone that's taken now it's owen two nothing in two count and the pitch there's a fastball well off the plate for a ball [Applause] tried to hold up there appeal down to first and no swing it's ball two into the wind-up here comes the 2-2 pitch good eye to lay off the slider there and he works it to full three and two here phillip irvin will be next scorched to third throw gets him two down now batting philip irvin he reached on a single in his first try not even close on that swing no balls in a strike outside for a ball one and one pitching has the upper hand early as we're scoreless in inning number four a little behind on that swing and now he'll try to shorten up maybe and protect the plate after fouling off the second one i gotta step out of the box and we'll have to leave it there as this is strike three the first baseman eric hosmer is in comes into this at bat 0 for one in the ball game a swing and a shot hit down the corner and that nearly would have gotten him on the board instead it's a long foul ball chopped toward the second baseman mastakis bare hand at effort throwing the dirt to first and he can't come up with it cleanly so here's will myers as he'll watch a slider that runs out of the strike zone away for ball one he was a strikeout victim in his first try lifted in the air out towards left center irvin arranged to his left as he tracks this one down in left center for the first down so one gun in the inning here with the runner at first and juriksen profar will be the next to bat one ball no strikes to count ball in a strike swaying and a miss on the fastball and it's one and two this pitcher's bringing it with some high v though you better get that front foot down early and get ready or he's going to throw it right by him so he records his fifth strike out there jurickson pro farm goes down for out number two in the top half austin hedges is in with two away now as he looks at a called strike one and it's a ball in the strike to austin hedges now a fastball gets the upper part of the zone for strike two and a fastball swung on and missed and the side is retired settling in now kyle farmer as we move past the halfway point in this one and begin the bottom of the fifth he'll start him here with a changeup but it's taken for bull one fastball just a bit low here he's behind 2-1-0 now 3-0 now if i'm in the box right now i'm coming unglued he is going to throw something over the heart of the plate that's on the outer edge three and one this one's down to third machado is there and there's one down now ready now for cincinnati freddie galvez so far over one with a flyout and that's high for a ball 1-0 one ball no [Applause] oh and he had him guessing there and it's a ball and a strike hey i can understand this batter's frustration right here he's trying to be aggressive and get something going for his team they are getting shut out in the fifth inning but that's exactly why they're getting shut out you need to keyhole and stay on the attack and make this pitcher come in the middle of the play three balls into strike to the shortstop of the reds hit in the air down the right field line in there a base hit and this will find the wall deep in the corner and he is in at second base with a one out double the picture and now sunny grain this they'll look at a changeup that drops below the knees for ball one he's over one after grounding out in his only trip to the plate so far and did he go around no he did not ball two now the two oh three 3-0 now it's amazing how guys can lose focus sometimes when the weaker hitters come up especially the pitchers you've got to stay on the attack and minimize pitches and get these guys out in a hurry at the plate nick senzel he was a ground out victim last time up he's ready here's the first offering didn't quite catch the zone there ball one and a change up here but that's taken low in the dirt for the ball got to find a way to execute either a good fastball down and away or flip something off speed for a strike you cannot miss over the harder plate in these situations the hitter is on high alert now the 3-0 offering line toward right center but this will not get out there deep enough as it's run down by the right fielder in the alley for the second out stepping into the box nicolas castellanos and we'll see what he can do here with a pair of runners on base and two gone here in the fifth one ball no strikes to count ready with the 1-0 galvez at second grade on it first with two down starts to go around but the home plane umpire says he held up ball two great chance right here as a hitter to be really aggressive with two guys already on pretty good shot he's gonna get a challenge pitch right here yanked on the ground down the line and he tries for the backhand reach at third but he gets by the glove down the mine the run comes across to score and they jump ahead one nothing the tag fernando tatis jr will grab a bat and lead things off here in the top of the six strike taken up in the zone hey this isn't exactly the way you'd like to draw it up not throwing a lot of first pitch strikes but the bottom line is he's getting outs the fastball straightens him up a bit one and two now one ball well there's the classic 02 waisted fastball not even close to the zone we'll see what he throws on the next pitch senzelle fields it cleanly standing in now breivik valera as here's a strike from gray to put him in the hole though and one lifted in the air to straight away center senzelle's got it and there's one gone so striding in trent grisham no hits to this point and he gets ahead here with the fastball strike one good speed at first and good speed with the guy at the dish gonna be tough to double up these guys if you're an infielder gotta get rid of it quick [Applause] and the plate now tommy pham as he swings and grounds it toward the hole and that's threw into left a base hit and they'll quickly get it in here to hold that runner at third base [Applause] now time is called here as we'll get a trip to the mound here's manny machado now fouled off oh for two from him so far in this one oh and one count and the pitch down and away ball one no offer on that one two balls in the strike and often becomes harder to hit the zone when the pressure starts to heat up no runs four hits no errors in the ball game for the padres and another foul ball [Applause] popped him up vato in foul ground he's got it and there are two down now so stepping in eric hosmer as he's got a chance to tie this ball game up with that equalizing run just 90 feet away at third yeah and this is the guy for me i i think this is the guy in the clubhouse that the guys truly gravitate towards the total package of eric hosmer's game is really special the pause and the o2 and he struck him out his seventh of the ball game and that ends the inning drew pomeranz is into the ball game now as he'll make his fifth appearance of the season here number 15. he's ready here's the first offering joey vado is in for the third time now as he takes a ball outside it's 1-0 a ball and a strike hey if he's going to get swings and misses that balls up and out of the zone he's going to continue to go there check swing no swing says the home plate umpire ball two that's lifted the other way out to left pham is there and he'll bring this one in at the plate mike moustakis he's over two in the ball game so far open stance by mastakis and now the pitch pulled toward right center field grisham is in his tracks now to gone [Applause] now in the box aristide's aquino he was retired via the ground ball last time up fouled away you're lucky if you get one pitch a night right down the middle cannot be laid on that fastball just behind the fastball there two strikes now out in front of that one but he stays alive and will do it again on owen two lofted in the air out toward right center myers is there and he'll make the catch stepping up now will myers he comes in 0 for 2 thus far this thing's far from over even though we're moving into the back end of this game only down by one all they need to do is get this lead off guy and they're an extra base hit away from tying this thing up first pitch of the inning is taken downstairs for a ball it's 1-0 in there one and one one ball this slider has been impressive all night long if he can continue spinning it like that he's going to be just fine two balls in the strike to count here's a big swing and a miss on the fastball two and two he hasn't thrown that pitch much all game i gotta believe as an offense you just gotta throw that pitch away and move on to the next one and he lays off ball four so now the potential time run here is aboard late in the game first pitch on its way pitch popped up and he'll indeed make the play in foul territory for the first out so a crucial moment here and standing in austin hedges and he does so representing the possible go-ahead run he's set here's the 0-1 oh this is hit to third will it be two bob the throw pulls him off the bag and he'll get in there safely josh naylor come on to pinch hit here in a big spot number 22. josh [Music] so they'll make a match-up move here and bring on a southpaw to face the left-handed hitter do up three here's a breaking ball but it doesn't quite find the strike zone on the ground back up the box and it'll get through into center field a base head he's safe at the plate and this ball game is tied here in the seventh now back to the plate now bravic valera as he'll take a look at an off speed pitch here that misses for ball one this one's blooped out toward right center field and that's gonna fall for a base hit long throw to third fro won't get him the run scores from second it's now a two to one ball game into the box trent grisham bunt attempt here as he gets this one down [Applause] galvez two outs now in the san diego seventh and up next it'll be the outfielder tommy pham robert stevenson takes over here with the runner at first and two gone in the inning bonnie and we'll have to leave it there as the play is made here to end the inning kyle bearclaw gets the call from the pen to take over on the mound and start the home seventh coming to the plate now philip irvin he's one for two in the ball game even though we're moving into the back end of this game they're only down by a couple of runs you know that old slogan a bloop and a blast they could certainly use that right now and it's fouled away berklaw or bear for short he was selected in the seventh round during the first year player draft of 2012. i know this guy wouldn't go into the category of superstar but to grind out the career he has being drafted where he was my hat's off to him rolled slowly down the first baseline but a foul ball one and two the count now [Applause] now here's the pitch swing and a miss on the slider and that's out number one digging in now kyle farmer ready with the first pitch here it comes popped him up hedges has a play two down stepping into the box freddie galvez he hit a two bagger and later scored in his previous played appearance first pitch of the at that on its way committed to that one a bit too soon as it locks him up for strike one and this misses the outside corner so it's knotted up at one and one well that backdoor breaking ball just missed right there it's a very effective pitch if you can hit the outside corner of that pitch it's unhittable the one two we're in the seventh inning with a good finish brewing three to one our score back up the middle and that's through for a hit derek dietrich will look for some two out magic here is he'll pinch it with two gun and a runner at first [Applause] and a good idea to hold off on that swing it's wall one [Applause] skied in the air to straight away left [Applause] pham is under it and he makes the catch for out number three michael lorenzo is going to come on in relief as he'll be making his 20th appearance of the season first pitch on its way manny machado is in to start things off as he looks at a ball to start the ending 1-0 skied into straight away right number 44 is over a few steps toward the line and he has it for the first half so one man gone for the friars in their half of the eighth and standing in here's the first baseman eric hosmer no balls in one strike a ball and a strike to the padre's first baseman sent on the ground out to second fielded by mustaches and very quickly there they're too gone to start the inning [Applause] striding into the box will myers oh for two for him to this point a fastball off the plate away it's ball one a ball and a strike we're playing 11 1 now a flare out toward right center and that's in there base hit throw into second the tag and they'll get him at second and with that the side is retired [Applause] amelia pagan to pitch out of the bullpen in the bottom half of the eighth number 14. stepping in now nick senzel as the first pitch to him is in there for recalled strike one good pitch there had him a little out in front [Applause] and a good curve ball gets him swinging for rep number one so one away here in the red's half of the eighth and the right-handed hitting nicolas castellanos he's set here it comes right guy right spot this is one of the better hitters in their lineup just the guy they want to see coming up now to get this inning going up around the letters with that one for ball two hey if you're gonna throw a pitch like that to this guy that's right where you want to miss any lower and he'll probably make you pay for it 3-0 to him now [Applause] three and one now now here's a check swing and they appeal down to first no swing so that's ball four so upsteps the former mvp joey vado it was a fly out for him in his last trip out in front of it strike one [Applause] 0-1 here's the pitch good breaking ball there laid off for the second strike that's the exact spot to lean on as a reliever as a hitter you just have to tip your cap and look for the next one a ball in two strikes now the one two motto puts a good swing on it and sends the ball well into right field a leap but he won't get it it's off the wall castellanos rounds third and is digging for the plate he'll score easily and the deficit is down to only one now so now to the plate mike mastakis as the first pitch misses to him it's ball one and he fouls this one off [Applause] a 1-1 and this one's in the dirt runner holds as the count moves to two and one [Applause] from the belt the pitch to two and two now hey from a pitcher standpoint sometimes the greatest pitch is the slider that backs up he got away with that one but he wants that thing to bury down the way fouled off and whoa awfully close but it's ball four according to woody keller j spry takes the mound to try to get out of this mess there are two on with only one away sends that one out of play for strike one fry has seen his role change with those one better lefty specialists going the way of the dodo is a part of mlb's pace of play initiatives one and one the count now from the belt the pitch lifted down the line in left and this will not be caught it's a foul ball the 1-2 [Applause] and here's one that barely misses off the inside corner two and two and think about it in game one of this series they've already had to go deep into their bullpen this could affect them for the rest of the weekend if they don't get really good starting pitching good battle count remains full one out with the possible tying and go ahead runs on base here and he held up in time but it's strike three called and there were two down stepping in jesse winker yes he'll look to bring home that tying run from second with a base hit into the outfield trying to hold the lead here's the delivery high fly ball out to straight away center grisham makes the catch to end the here's jurickson pro farm third trip to the plate forum here tonight 0 for 2 at this point 9th inning underway now as the first pitch is taken for a cold strike that's over but low it's a ball and a strike [Applause] called strike two on the cutter and he's behind in the cap now one and two and it's two balls and two strikes now that's a good pitch to lay off right there that cutter inside and that is a real tough pitch for hitters to lay off of and a lot of times if you do swing at that cutter in you're going to end up with some firewood in a broken back and he'll step on first himself for the out [Applause] digging in austin hedges no hits in three tries so far he's struck out once first pitch is a cutter looked at 0-1 high in the air out to center field senzel backing up on it he gets there and makes the play for the second out of the inning juan legaris will get the call here as he'll hit for the pitcher [Applause] and he'll try to crowd him there to start the at-bat it's 1-0 he comes in with that average down in the 240s two home runs and four rbis i think it's about time to choke up on that bat get that foot down [Applause] and a backhanded reach at first but he can't flag it down into the box now breivik valera as he'll go after the first pitch and bounce it into foul territory one and one to san diego's lead off batter to one and two now two out with the man at first struck him out so it remains a one-run lead as they hit yates enters the game to finish this one off here in the bottom of the ninth into the box kyle farmer in his last at-bat he popped out in foul ground yeah matt he's got to make an adjustment right here his swing definitely broke down dropped his back shoulder and thus the result was a terrible pop-up foul 0-1 here's the pitch and a fastball way off target here and it's even at one [Applause] one one pitch is a slider that's cut on and missed for strike two two balls and two strikes to the reds catcher the 2-2 popped him up in foul ground one out [Applause] digging in and looking for more freddie galvez so far two for three in this one here comes the first pitch fly ball out to right field myers is under it two down [Applause] number four will pinch hit here and he's the potential tying run swinging a ball hit on the ground reigned in and they won't have a play as he reaches it first let's see how this is scored [Applause] now a swing and a fly ball and this should do it makes the catch and the padres have taken game one of the series on the road as the ball game is over three to two the finish in tonight's game san diego jumped ahead in the seventh inning and never gave the lead back sunny gray so um then hmm um you
