🔴LIVE NOW! Washington Nationals vs Miami Marlins - Apr 28, 2024 MLB Full Game - MLB 24 EN VIVO

here in Miami lone Depot Park the show has an NL East matchup it's the Washington Nationals taking on the Miami Marlins John shami alongside Chris Singleton and singy the big bat in the lineup so far this year Brian De La Cruz leads the team in Ops so he's the guy that looks to Slug and basically make things happen for them offensively just a machine in terms of production at the plate he'll take his walks he'll Barrel up the baseball he hit the ball in the gaps he'll hit the ball over the fence so talk about a guy going good that's him right now and he's a bat that you want to stay away from if you're the pitcher just about set to go getting the nod in this one Trevor Rogers try to stay back for that power change up speed differential between the fast ball and the change up is huge hitters they have a hard time staying back here's CJ Abrams to the afternoon for Washington the short CJ ABR as he turns on the rubber here with that good live arm delivers pitch misses ball one [Music] that Clips the inside corner for a [Applause] strike swing and a ball lifted left field Dela Cruz calls it in and there's one away as we take a look at the Nationals lineup this group was shut out their last game so we're going to see if they can bounce back with A Better Effort here today and boo it can get in your head a little bit when you get shut out you're frustrated you're seeing that consecutive Stak of innings you haven't scored and you want to get off to a great start score early because if you don't you feel like you could linger into two consecutive games which no one wants to be a part of one down base is empty and there's a foul ball [Applause] [Music] one out base is [Applause] empty just missed well he's not afraid to fall into a two- strike count knows the strike zone very well so much so that I think umpires will look at him and determine whether it's a ball or strike if he swings or not pulls it down and there's two gone it's never fun going back to the Dugout after hitting a line drive that finds a glove but you will get some high fives you know when you make great contact you feel like you've done everything right but in this game of baseball not everything is in your control and first offering is fouled off Rogers 26 years old and he's one of the few players in Major League Baseball born in New Mexico and misses inside well he's so great about hitting the ball the other way he gets those arms EXT Ed so right there just trying to straighten him up a little bit so he doesn't have as much outside play coverage the line of the pitch and down on strikes he goes and good work there as he gets a one two three Nationals go quietly now the Marlins will see what they can do no score you're dialed into the show back here in Miami and on the B for Washington in this one Jake Irvin what do you look for here well he's not a rookie but still very young in this game learning his craft I think the key is getting consistent reps and the opportunity to develop his stuff looking forward to watching him pitch in this one bottom of the first Lise stands in ch baseball today so many strikeouts and they are available to Pitchers but this is a guy that puts the bat on the ball and is kind of different from the players that we see day in day out yeah his swing is so good it's in the zone a long time he gets the barrel to it a lot and that produces more base hits the 01 when you look at the elite teams in the game right now there is going to be the slug no question about it but the really good offensive teams combined slug with more contact with less swinging Miss here's a 2-1 swing and a miss and he was fooled yeah and the domino effect of that is running up Pitch counts on pitchers and then either getting them to a place of fatigue or getting into the bullpen perhaps before you get to those higher leverage arms at the back end and that's in the dirt one of the things that Jim Leland used to say when I was broadcasting with the Marland the longer a play appearance go go for a batter the more likely it is that something he Dives but can't hang on that's a base hit so a man on base to start the inn and now for the marins Ryan de Cruz that one catches the Zone that's strike one the pitch swing and a miss and that's strike two yeah and I figured you would get K into this because you had a free dinner at his house the other night that is true way upstairs it's a ball in two [Applause] strikes Cho to third szel fires to Second for one over to First safe batting thir The desicated Hitter here's Josh [Applause] Bell Off the Mark there and that's ball one count one [Applause] and0 flips the [Applause] [Music] [Applause] corner man it first one [Applause] away hold strike three on the fast ball and that ran back over the inner half wow that's a tough call for the hitter but the pitcher will take that all day long not quite in the but he found a spot that the is going to at least for now allow him to get that call so H are going to have to make an adjustment but pitchers are going to learn from those things and really try to exploit them if they can abil Garcia in the box with two gone and takes a look at a called strike two outs SL plac hard but [Applause] foul o and two now and they'll do it again [Applause] and here it comes sharp grounder that's through for a base hit throw in holds the lead runner at second two on now with two away well a swing like that can help you come out of the struggle we saw the numbers coming into the ball game but all he's trying to do at this point is help his team win Jaz Chisum Jr now and that one fouled off well with this many pitches thrown here in this first in I mean you're giving the other team a really good look he's going to have to find a way to get some weak contact maybe a swing and Miss get into that Dugout and hit the reset [Applause] by next pitches downstairs one and [Applause] one in the air to left down the line Winker on a dead spr can't get there this one lands [Applause] foul first inning and already up to 23 [Applause] pitches fights that one away still one and [Applause] two and another ball [Applause] spoils that one and it remains two and two while he's having a tough time getting a pitch by him as a hitter you feel pretty confident that you're seeing different pitches still able to make some type of [Applause] contact two on two outs base hit into the Outfield head for the plate here comes the throw but it's offline he will score a perfect example right there that plate disciplined it pays off the deeper he gets into a cow the more comfortable he becomes and he usually wins the [Applause] battle here's Tim Anderson just missed it's great to get on the board in the first frame of the ball game but here's an opportunity for them to really open things up with a couple of Runners on let's see if they can cash in the short stop takes the ball tough spot right here couple Runners on two ball count you can't nibble but you have to execute and finish your pitch if you leave something out over the plate it's going to bring in some runs righty delivers that's off the mark and that's B three Emmanuel Rivera Waits on deck for [Applause] Miami let's see if he gives him anything to hit here looks like he's just sizing him up there really good pitch to hit but he took it all the way sometimes guys just want to set their timing later on in the game that may be a Pitch that he turns on fouls one away and now three and two Garcia the lead runner at second Chism at first two out of the inning got him looking and he did not like the call but the RBI single pushes across a run it's now one nothing you're watching Major League Baseball on the show and we're back new inning getting started up now for Washington Luis Garcia Garcia Rogers back to work Edge in the zone for a strike going and [Applause] one fought off foul the Lefty fires gets a piece and it stays 0 and two [Applause] the wide to the pitch oh one bouns it off still one and two you can see he was trying to stay back long enough to handle the off speed pitch but just a little Tardy on the fast balls and misses it's a strike out I'm not sure that was the exact location the pitcher wanted brought it warp he got the swing and miss and I'm sure a bit of s of Rel after seeing that one go through the Zone Joey Gallow steps to the plate that one ripped but foul [Applause] one down base is empty good eye right there Dave Lawrence behind the plate today consistent and pretty accurate with the balls and Strikes yeah he's one of those guys spook that just keeps the game moving nothing overly unique about the strike zone that he calls and as a result he's appreciated by both sides swung on and fouled off and he'll need a do B Chris the players ever change their approach in meaningful ways based on Whose umpire or is it good to just be aware of Tendencies so you're not that surprised I'd say the lad because pitchers got pitched to her strengths regardless the hitters got a hit to her strength so you're aware of it but you have to just hunt for what you can handle and it's the catcher for the Nationals Riley Adams he swings and fouls one off the wi to kick the pitch good eye in that spot one and [Applause] one bounced up the middle Di and he can't hang on not in time great effort but it's an infield hit here's Eddie Rosario pitches in for a strike one one one the count [Applause] and a good eye there [Music] one that Clips the corner the Marlins up by a run here in the top of the second lifted in the air right center field on the Move he's got it and that's the third out so one left for Washington they Trail here one nothing back here at Lone dep Park we head to the bottom of the second and here's the first baseman Emanuel Rivera Rivera the rightand are back to work and that's off the Inside Edge and it's w and0 [Applause] [Applause] the pitch Bing ball here rolls [Applause] foul hard ground ball base now so run aboard to start the [Applause] inning next to hit AO Lopez rips that one center field raria makes the grab on the Run batting the Nick forz nck fortez the next up for the the [Applause] Marlins swing and a miss that's strike one just a bit tardy there not sure if he had a hard time picking it up out of the hand or if he was sitting off speed next pitch is outside [Applause] at the belt and fires popped up under it makes the catch for the out and there's two away up second L Lis the next up for the Marlins reached on an infield single this first time and immediately pumps in a strike to the left-handed hitter Rivera leads off first with two down to the [Music] inning fast ball and he gets out of the way well you've got to establish the inside part of the plate early and that sends a message not just to this hitter but to the rest of the lineup as well and a pitch would chase that time [Applause] swing and a ground ball out to short and he can't come up with it no throw that's an error and everyone is safe the batt no now the number two hitter Brian Del Cruz 0 for one he hit into a Fielder's choic as first time and a foul ball [Applause] [Applause] and a pitch and now the count is even first and second two [Applause] down that one hammered left field that's back seal later and this place is rocking it's his sixth home run of the season and they tack on three it's four [Applause] nothing Lightning Fast hands to be able to hit that velocity fast on the inside part of the plate in my experience when you're looking out over the plate allowing the ball to travel it's pure reaction to hit a pitch in that location that's a tremendous swing Josh Bell at the plate now and that's too high two down nobody on hey I got a ball one strike [Applause] just missed two out Bas is [Applause] empty pitch in the dirt will count now gets a piece and stays [Applause] alive swings through it and that's a strike down but the Marlins get three on the Homer it's now a 4 nothing ball game you're watching Major League Baseball exclusively on the show and welcome back to the ballpark now it's Nick senzel Nick senzel and the pitch that Clips The Zone and it's O and one well he had a pretty good look at that pitch and not sure exactly what tied him up there couldn't pull the trigger and perhaps the best pitch you'll see in this at bat to hit kicks and fires and another ball two one swing and a miss and now two and two two balls two strikes kicks and and there's a ball that's a really good take right there slider down and in very difficult to get on the same plane and do anything with the other way Garcia makes the grab one down the first and now up for Washington Trey [Applause] lip pop foul out of play off to the right one down base is empty strike two and he really sells the change up with that arm action wouldn't chase that [Applause] time the onew the punch out there now two out now it's the short stop CJ Abrams flyed to left his first time he's hit for that Pop came out of the gates really [Applause] strong fast ball in for a strike it's 0 and [Applause] [Music] one and that one a little bit High the wi in the pitch the short stop takes the [Applause] ball just missed three balls one strike two outs swing and a highfly ball down the left field line but hooking foul instead of letting the hitter get his arms extended tied him up a little bit slightly up slightly in swinging a foul ball at the plate they'll do it again and now the Lefty foul ball left side he'll see another two down nobody on and there's ball four that's a great at bat he saw a lot of pitches and earned a walk it's tough after falling behind a hitter two balls and no strikes but now at least he gets a fresh start against a new batter but he needs to get back into the strike zone and start pitching with conviction snap throw to first and he's back standing [Applause] Winker in the Box for the second time one ball no strikes Abrams off of first with two away foul ball there [Applause] runner on the Move foul ball still a one and two count and the pitch and that's outside the fish leading by four we're here in the top half of inning number three [Applause] just misses with that one good spot there but didn't get the strike at the knees and doesn't seem too convinced by the call out there in the mound as he tries to get a better sense of the Umpire Strike Zone foul ball and it remains a full count [Applause] payoff pitch CAU him looking for the K Nationals leave one they're on the short end of a four nothing [Applause] score set for the bottom of the third and now the right fielder AVU Garcia Garcia the pitch hamers that one deep left field and forget it a gigantic blast third home run of the season and they tack on to their lead it's 5 Z first pitch swinging and he got the fast ball he knew exactly what to do with it too well I'm sure there's a big grin on his face right now boo he's probably some of those that didn't stay fair but off the bat it looked like it was going to been foul was able to keep it in there tucked it nicely he gets the jog around the base is good for him now it's going to be Jazz Chisum Jr fouls went off out of play back to our left rander kicks deals there's a strike up high and the count is 0 and two two stri [Applause] that one almost got him and the rhander deals and another ball nobody on nobody out with a run in here in the last half of the Third [Applause] Hammer base [Applause] hit seems like he got exactly what he was looking for right there 11 M and man that velocity not every hitter's capable of getting that kind of jump off the bat no matter how hard they swing so man aboard and now the short stop Tim Anderson that's inside that's inside well Chris through the early stages he hasn't been very efficient in terms of the pitch count out he's going to need to get some quick outs if he's going to get deeper into this [Applause] game and he deals and a foul ball it is interesting though when you consider the way the game is run now doesn't even matter that much if your starter doesn't go that deep because teams are really aggressively building your bullpens activity in the bullpen Kyle finan appears to be getting ready and I'm sure he's feeling some nerves this would be his major league debut here's a one-w struck him out [Applause] looking now and now the first baseman Emmanuel Rivera one for one with a single and a run scored so far now move to First Chism back on a dive and the first offering is not close well the good thing so far is that he hasn't issued any free passes unfortunately they're making pretty good contacts so not getting the swings and misses and making that Defense work behind it wouldn't chase that time two balls no strike [Applause] two and0 to count here it comes that one fouled off the pitch there's a strike that's a great take right there even though it's a strike with the situation runner on first base you want to keep the ball off the ground and you swing at that pitch most likely you roll into a double play and another ball sets him down looking fast to letters froze him for strike three now thir first Otto Lopez the next up for the Marlins 0 for one so far [Applause] one finds the Zone going one when you're struggling out there on the mound hitters know that there'll be plenty of opportunities within the atat to try to get something to hit [Applause] hard a ball [Applause] one close but called the ball two balls in a strike [Applause] irvan over to First and he's back in safely fouls one off two and two [Applause] here comes a pitch swings through it for the K chase the fastb up the ladder for strike three one for the marins on the solo shot and the lead is now 5 nothing it's major league baseball and it's on the show back here in Miami now it's the DH Joey manessis Joey as he turns on the Rubber and with that good live arm delivers that gets down for a hit and the lead off man [Applause] aboard dominant performance for him today boo just two hits allowed so far no runs across either and he's had an answer for just about every hitter he's faced so I don't think this hit is going to knock him off his stride too much so a man aboard now it's the Nationals cleanup hitter Luis Garcia his first hit bat was a strikeout just missed [Applause] in there at the knees and it's one and one on the ground right side over to Anderson and they get him easily in first it's a double play for me that's one of the toughest double plays to turn on the infield the first baseman has to get inside create a throwing Lane to hit that middle infielder to start the double play and then from there it back to First really good job all the way around and now it's Joey Gallow struck out swinging his first time inside just missed Gallow goes 6' 5 in 250 lbs a former first round pick back in 2012 two down nobody on top half of inning number four slapped hard the other way but foul the pitch ripped towards third fires across the diamond and they take care of Gallow for the out and the inning is over no runs one hit no errors and no one left and Midway in the fourth Marlin five and the Nationals nothing Nick fortez the next up for the Marlins the catcher ni for the wide to the pitch fast ball for strike one one oh one's the [Applause] count ball one there two strikes and a swinging a Miss picks up strike out number seven came inside with that two- strike fast nicely and just bunched him up the inside part of the plate couldn't get around on it and catch it out front many times if you do it's a foul ball and you know a lot of pitchers they really don't like working inside with two strikes because they do not want to hit that batter and when they've got him up against the ropes got to figure out a way to put him away did a nice job right there out to Short [Applause] Abrams tosses the first already two gone here in the home for the left Ro de Cruz two outs Bas is empty here's the left fielder Brian De Cruz he's already homered in this [Applause] game and there's the strike [Applause] in there for a strike at the top of the Zone he doesn't seem to like the pitch up hasn't offered on either one of those pitches 02 count now I think the guy's going to climb the ladder out [Applause] there swing and a miss and he got him Marlin set down in order and the Marlins down quietly as they are unable to add to their five nothing lead and we're back now Riley Adams the catcher Riley Adams Rogers back to work right through there for a strike you know these Nationals just aren't putting great swings on the baseball in this one they're trying to find ways to drive the ball with some Authority but it's just not happening for him so far zero extra base hits in the game so it's been tough for him to get anything going sometimes you have to keep chipping away until you break through but it's a lot easier to put runs on the board when you have runners in scoring position because they put themselves there late swing foul to the left one down base is empty fouled off to the [Applause] right leftand hitter Waits center field Chism drifts towards it drops into the glove two down now third next to hit for the NS Nick zenzel he's over [Applause] one and that's outside and that's ball [Applause] one the wi of the pitch and a foul ball looking sharp just to strike away from five shutout Innings spoils the two- strike pitch and he'll see [Music] another here's a [Applause] onew swing and a miss struck him out and the Nationals gone in order it's 5 [Applause] nothing Kyle finan on The Pitch Out of the pen here still pretty early in the ball game so this Bullpen has some work ahead of him best case scenario might be if he can come in here and get several quick outs kind of bridge the gap that starter left for him and now the switch first basan Josh Bell over for two with a pair of strikeouts and here it comes pitches in there and that's strike one you know these Marlins putting together some really good at bats in this game there's been a lot to like with how they're approaching their chances at the play it looked to me like they really wanted to get to the starter early get him out of the game before he settles in so I'd say mission accomplished the pitch and another [Applause] ball that one missing inside [Applause] [Applause] 3-1 and he couldn't come up with it Bo do you think you could draw Walk In The Bigs if we gave you enough oh that's a good question um I think that if they gave the pitcher a false scouting report on me yes I think I could draw one Garcia up for the third time here watches that one Miss got it started a little too early strike one man 91 on the slider right there that's a hard one that's a low and fast ball for some pitchers the pitch that misses the zone and it's two and one last couple of pitches breaking balls away I think he's going to have to come firm inside to be able to open up that l location if he wants to go back there later in this count ripped to third the feed for one and it's a double play as a former player watching 5 43 double plays brings back some such an exciting play and it's always a great reminder of baseball being such a team sport and at the plate for Miami Jaz Chisum Jor [Applause] right down the shoot it's own and one he must have been looking for something else cuz he gave up on that pitch a little early it was right down Main Street probably not going to see a better pitch to hit in this hit back one one and it's even [Applause] up right back to him on the mound tosses to First that ends the frame back here at Lone Depot Park all set for the start of the inning up now for Washington Trey lip the W to kick the pitch and the breaking ball drops in for a strike it really looks like these hitters have been in between with their timing today good fast ball excellent slider but they've not been able ble to commit to one velocity and stay there the 02 fouled off the plate they'll do it [Music] [Applause] again into Center and a base hit so now back to the top of the order I'd say a mistake pitch in an 02 count two good of a pitch to hit right there you have to expand the Zone keep that leadoff man off first base so the Nets lineup turns over CJ Abrams digging in for the Nationals and that skips into dirt lipam gets his lead at first with nobody out next offering is in for a strike this guy on the Mountain's done a lot better than we would have expected and the hitters just don't seem to have the right game plan they're taking too many mistake pitches for called strikes CS the corner that is strike two one ball two [Music] [Applause] strikes out towards right center field on the move to the alley brings it [Applause] in man it first now the left fielder Jesse win [Applause] win that one at the knees for a strike the Marlins leading by five and we're the top half of the sixth and that's outside and it's one and one and a pitch and that one pulled foul and a ball even a [Applause] count and that just misses he should get a pretty good pitch to hit here with three- hole hitter coming up if he's walked in the air out to Center sizing this one up chisen makes the [Applause] play the B the Des Joey man so man aboard Joey manessis will hit next one for two and that one fouled off [Applause] he one hit in the air right field and there's a hit throw stops the lead runner at second two on and two out that's back to back singles for him 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 B to drop a long Dart in there and he found a way could be a chance here for them to start clawing back into this ball game and now it's Luis Garcia no trouble here puts it away for the out and that is that make it six shutout innings for him out there now Marin five and the Nationals nothing and welcome back to the ball at the pl Tim Anderson Anderson [Applause] here the right hter back to work just [Music] missed been in and the count is two and0 struggled a little bit in this one couple of strikeouts earlier but doing a much better job in this bat to get ahead and find a good hitter count at 2 and0 2 that's to third throws across the diamond one away bottom of the sixth now B the first Emmanuel Emmanuel Rivera the next up for the Marlins that's a slider for a [Applause] strike he swings and fouls one off here's the 02 B that's out swing and a popup Garcia pulls that one down out number two now batting third Bas AO Lopez the next up for the Marlins [Applause] and first offering is fouled off two down nobody on here in the bottom of the [Applause] six next offering is down low a he doubled up on the off speed there we talk about the power fast ball but he's working a little differently here swinging a foul straight back [Applause] and he chases that one and a nice inning of work there as he sets him down one two three nothing doing for the Marin but they hold a 5 nothing lead back here in Miami top of inning number seven and here is Joey Gallow hitting is all about anticipation and right now this lineup is struggling with it there's swings are mistimed and it's produced a few ugly Cuts here and there SIDS of activity in the pen for the Marlins Andrew nardy the Lefty looks to be getting himself ready number 53 getting cranked up as well and a pitch hey in this situation you expect the Batters to be a little more patient possibly take until they get a strike with that you don't want to miss your opportunity to get ahead early in the count he didn't right there kicks and Fire so a foul ball makes it one and two kick sandal and that's off the Inside Edge the count now two and two slider misses outside three and two payoff pitch struck Him Out Swinging couldn't catch up to the heater and here is Riley Adams the catcher Riley Adam and first off ring is fouled off B is empty one away here in the top half of inning number seven now just about to hit that century mark 100 pitches for this game next offering misses and the count one and two one ball two strikes the count on the ground to the left Lopez tosses to First and two away to start the seven well 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 and now up for Washington Eddie Rosario [Applause] and first off ring is fouled [Music] off and downstairs well as good as things can be it can be a tough day at the office even for the Skippers seeing the offense just sputter not able to get anything going [Applause] and it's foul away the one two gets a piece there we'll do it again knocks that one away and we'll do it [Applause] again line in the pitch good eye right there it's a good [Music] take and down on strikes Nets go down one two three another scoreless inning and now that's seven shut out frames Marlins five and the Nationals [Music] nothing bottom of the seven and here's the catcher Nick fortez the right hander back to work that pitch in for a strike and it's O and one movement in the bullpen Trevor Williams the veteran right-hander appears to be loosening up the o1 fought off foul they tried to get him to chase on a slider down it away that one just misses the outside corner two and two just missing off the plate there according to the Umpire and out there on the mound maybe trying to get an explanation can't say he's convinced but it looks like he's accepted it that one misses and that's ball three he's really tightening up his Hitting Zone with two strikes here I love it got him swinging boo if you can set up a good two strike splitter with the fast ball on the previous pitch it's going to be so tough to recognize and adjust your swing to get a piece of clearly had him reaching for it right there [Applause] and that one sliced [Applause] foul one down base is empty and there's a foul [Applause] ball righty delivers that misses the zone ball one and that one hit 97 on the [Music] gun left hand batter waights on the line base hit so they get a man aboard with a one out single hitting is really easy for some guys one thing that I can see already his Bat stays in the Zone on plane for an extended period of time and guys like that they have a high contact rate and they have more barrels because of that bat being on plane and even when you don't get it great it's still hit hard enough to dunk something in like that in front of the center fielder that one finds the zone and the count is 0 and [Applause] two and that's a strike out looking strike three called and a slider at the knees and up next for Miami Josh Bell [Applause] [Applause] two outs this to third they get the force that ends the inning welcome back and a new arm on the mound to start the E number 53 and he's got a nice lead to work with so he should come in throwing strikes attacking these hitters and now Nick senzel taken high in the draft he's had that top prospect labeled over him since he put on a professional uniform but it's some point that starts to go away and you got to produce at the big league level [Applause] and the one swing and a miss I got one ball one [Applause] strike swing and a high fly ball down the right field line and no one can get to it it's a foul ball the onew that one drifts inside that two seam fast ball is usually coupled with a slider away and when a hitter's conscious of the pitch in it's hard for him to cover middle away and that's where a pitcher can really finish off that batter and that one is lifted in the air got it really had to move for that catch and there's one down every day during batting practice these outfielders get about 10 minutes of balls in the gaps they practice this and when the game comes they make the play [Applause] perfectly lipo the next to hit takes ball one meanwhile activity in the bullpen Andrew nardy up and throwing next pitch in for a strike and it's one and one in there for a strike at the bottom of the [Applause] Zone one two in the air to left Center Chism makes his way towards it makes the grab on the run and there's two down here's the short stop at the play CJ [Applause] Abrams and that's in the dir two down nobody on and we're in the top of the eighth and the pitches in for a strike and the count is one and one [Applause] [Applause] inside almost got [Applause] him still two and two after the foul [Applause] ball lifted in the air now the left side and it's foul fights it off you'll see [Applause] another just misses the mark outside the Zone wow this guy's really battling up there as if his run is the game-winning run I love his tenacity up the middle Anderson fires over to First and that is the third out of the inning nothing doing for Washington still looking at that five nothing [Applause] deficit back now new pitcher on the mound as we roll into the bottom of the eighth Trevor Williams and he's done a great job keeping the ball in the park this year the numbers stack up with some of the best in the game Avil up to the play he's already homered here in this one and the pitch bottom of the zone and a called [Music] strike next pitch not close up high and Garcia gets a piece right-handed reliever Fly ball down the line Gallow moves towards it puts it away for the out the center fielder number two Jaz Jazz Chisum J the next up for the [Applause] Marlins fast ball in for a strike one and one no need to offer at that pitch until you get to two strikes it's just a low percentage of success when you want to try to go after that down and Away pitch one down base is empty in the air left field guilt down the line and it stays Fair now he'll turn for second it's a double and he's three for four tonight having himself a really nice game at the plate just a blue pit behind third right there and that's a really tough play for a third baseman or short stop to get to and the same for the left fielders so he just found a perfect place to drop that one in right there man it second with one away and now for the Marlins Tim Anderson 0 for three with two strikeouts and a ground out now miss at the belt and fires and that's in for a strike Williams throws over and he's back in there Chism over it second one [Applause] down well this is a good time to step out of the box take a deep breath reset couple of change UPS probably won't see another one here man it's second fights that one away still one and [Applause] two the short stop takes a [Applause] ball hard ground ball Bas down jazz on his horse coming around third save well they call that an advantage count for a reason you're so much more likely to get something you can handle really good swing right there he got a pitch that he knew he could handle allowed himself to stay back just a tad bit longer and he hit the ball on the screws and at the pl for Miami Emmanuel Rivera one for three first pitch just misses [Applause] the fish up big in this one here the bottom half of the eighth inning swings through that one for strike one ball one strike and the pitch on the ground to First could be two to Second Abrams return throw to first got him double play and that'll do it one run two hits no errors and nobody left on through eight full it's the Marlin six and the Nationals nothing and we're back all set to start the ninth in this one now the number two hitter Jesse Winker here comes the pitch swinging a foul over the screen and back out of play and a rope into center field base hit man aboard on the leadoff single all over that one right there just a cookie down the middle I mean those are the ones you dream about ones in the cage you're just hoping you get in the ball game right down the middle not a whole lot of velocity right on top of it next to hit Joey manessis ripped but it curls [Applause] foul the L1 good eye in that spot if you're going to get something going this is the time to do it you get the leadoff man on everybody's got to look over the shoulder and say I'm just going to keep the line moving don't try to do too much next offering is in for a strike and that one is inside and 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 foul ball another two two upcoming rander kick steals down and another ball the Nationals with a lot of ground to make up here at the top of the night three and two now swings and misses struck him [Applause] out so next will be the Four Hole hitter for the Nationals Luis Garcia [Applause] Garcia wouldn't chase that time he pumps it a [Applause] strike just off the outside edge and that's ball [Applause] two and that's a strike now just a submit mixer slider right there it's a great pitch to hit if you can recognize it early and jump on it battling here as he fouls it [Applause] away and the rhander deals spoils that one and it remains two and two [Applause] the pitch grab ball to First could be two over to Anderson and that's a double play to end it Rogers with his first Major League win yeah nicely done I'm sure he'll feel very good about that and get the ball for his trophy case as he should the start he won't ever forget six nothing is how this one ends for Chris Singleton and our entire crew I'm John Shi saying so long
