Rockies vs. Nationals Game Highlights (8/22/24) | MLB Highlights

And how big would this be for him to get number 100? It'd be huge for Patrick. It's always been about that slider right there. It's got good action, good downward action and he's commanding that, that's, that's his bread and butter. Ezekiel Tovar is ready to stand in for the right side swing and a miss on a fastball away. Well, there's number 100 in terms of strikeouts may be a good omen number 100 in 135 innings. So one out nobody on and Brendan Rodgers moving up to the second spot in the order today. Big breaking ball for the strikeout. Hello, two up, two down next up , Brendan Doyle, their most dangerous batter on base in the series five times swinging a ground ball to third. Tana has it on the backhand. Crow hop and throw on target to G is out. It's a 123 innings for Patrick Corbett bottom of the first inning here in the nation's capital and the nationals come to bat against the right hander Cal Quantrell in Port Hope Ontario, Canada. This is start number 25 for him. Call has been a hot hitter inning 351 in 28 games, got a fastball in, jammed on it just a bit and tracking that one out in center. That is Jordan Beck, who's been in right field for a couple of nights, bring up CJ Abrams, the grind right there. Drew as you take that swing, that's like two out. Nobody on here is James Wood, the rookie to 288 with his recent streak just a little bit out and now Wood on his 22nd walk down to first base and this is, is going to be a tough play bare hand out at first base. That's a great play by aaron Shunk as he sprints off the field turned out to be a really good play by the Rockies third baseman. You make the play, aaron Shunk after Quatre fell down trying to get to it on his follow through second inning here at Nationals Park, Rockies and Nats no score. The third baseman and a foul tip on a splitter held that strikeout number one for Cal Quattro and with two outs will come up. We have not seen one of those in a long time end of inning strikeout for Quatro. So he ends up having a 123 inning with two punch out already used his time out. So he had no way to stop the, forgot about his time out being used to no score at Nationals Park, the Rockies and the nats bottom third of the order against Patrick Corbin swing and a miss and Then Ruiz could not get a handle trying to quick release Bec had a really good jump and it looked like Kert knew he had to really hurry. Corbin gets the strikeout with the dangerous Brendan Rodgers on deck. So the leadoff base hit leads to a bit of a long inning, but Corbin really good, almost perfect through three gallo batting at 16 seven on the year five homers. That's some kind of plate appearance right there. Not biting on that 3 to 2 pitch. That's without a hit. But a couple of walks anticipate the Rockies guarding against a bunt here from Jacob Young who has nine bunt hits and eight sacrifices. Young squares pops it up. It's going to be caught on a diving catch by to the first baseman and Gallo has to dive back into the bag. Heck of a catch by to as the bunt was popped up. He is a left handed thrower glove on the right hand dove and made the diving catch with the glove just above the grass. Alex call and Cal Quantrell were briefly teammates and this ball into right and drop and now Gallo after stopping at second can gallop over to third. So the nationals, they have runners at 1st and 3rd. So the inning comes down to James Wood, 2nd and 3rd 2 outs. We'll see how carefully the Rockies pitch to him. They do have a base. That's a pretty good feel, but he might have hit it too well. No, it's going to drop. I thought Bec might come in and challenge it and the nets lead to nothing. So, add two more RBIs onto that wood team leading total 30 since this call up. Yeah. Quattro just going to the, well , one too many times with that splitter threw him nothing but splitters in this at bat and James does a nice job Corman has 11 swing misses today and it's, it's with virtually every single pitch he's throwing slider sinker cutter curve for, but he's gone early and Then hardly swing and a miss and a new season high in strikeouts for Patrick Corbin seven D backs on June 19 7. Padres on July 25th and now eight Rockies here on August 22nd and four in a row. Two down the pitch to brett Dole and do leads on one deep left, center field wood going back. Look it up and do is hit a home town home and the Rockies are with a number 21 for Brett Doyle from Warrenton, Virginia. And how about the center field group? They were dancing and jumping out there first Rockies homer in the series. He just beats Patrick Corbin to the spot with that cutter slash slider. As soon as he hit it, I started to peek out to the guys out in center field that group out there. The pitcher is Lucas Gilbert's second appearance this year, go back to 2247 appearances. Back Then. That lead is 2 to 1. Gilbert to face Abrams Wood and Ruiz. That's fair. It's going to get past the short corner down there for Hilliard who fires one into second. A hang on there buddy. He kept the hand on the bag and a very important leadoff double for the Nats. Here in the sixth. Here's James Wood who delivered the two run head way inside, it hits something and James Wood appears to be sent down to first by Jordan baker. So here's Ruiz batting right handed against the lefty. Ruiz Shunk made contact with it that slows the ball down. It gives a chance for other runners to advance the Nats lead 331 rather. And now a chance for a huge hit nobody out and a huge spot for garcia base hit Garcia Woods scores Ruiz to third. The line is moving for the Nets and it's 4 to 1 here in the sixth. That's RB I number 63 to lead the team by luis. Well, now another lefty in Tana Gilbert hasn't retired any lefties yet. Just let the guy hit and it's up the middle off of Gilbert. Another run scores. The Nets have a three run sixth inning and they've gone ahead 5 to 1 of the eighth inning. Nationals lead the Rockies 5 to 1 good position. Here to win a series from Colorado juan is the batter struck out, looking bounce to short bounce to second zero for three and he will get under one out to deep left center. This one heading for the red seats. See you later one. Fourth homer is the and this one finally feels like it might be out of reach. We talked about it yesterday three run homers and gets a hang breaking ball right here, really nice swing. You got to love it. The tack on runs an 81 lead after the three run homer in the bottom of the eighth inning. And so the nationals will bring on right hander Johan to make his eighth appearance seventh in relief and the Rockies breathe life. Jacob Stallings, the catcher will come up is hit to right center on the move. Jacob Young, he won't catch up to it because it hit off the top of the wall and that's a home run touch him all time for Jacob Stallings just over the scoreboard out there in right center his eighth homer of the year. It's 8 to 3 Washington. And if the Rockies get two more base runners, it would become a safe situation. A man at second and Jordan beck the batter two outs in the ninth swing and a miss it's over and it's number 100 for Patrick Corbin Nets beat the Rockies 8 to 3 to win this series win the season series. And some personal history for a guy on our pitching staff who's taken a lot of shots from people , a lot of criticism over the last couple of years, but whatever has happened to this point today belongs to Patrick Corbin and we couldn't be happier for one of the better guys we've ever had on this ball club. Congratulations to Patrick on 100 he pitched fantastic today.
