GAME 144 TAMPA BAY RAYS @ PHILADELPHIA PHILLIES 87-56

e e e for hello Baseball fans and welcome inter league baseball on MLB the show it's the Tampa Bay Rays taking on the Philadelphia Phillies all right we'll be back to get this one started after this so just about set now and getting to start here today Allen what do we have on him well he's been a real quality starter for his and coming into this what stands out for me is that right-handed hits have really struggled batting below 200 on the it seems they have a hard time MLB seon 8224 game 14 games and highlights will be coming up next on goats International Sports Showdown 2024 Marsh makes the grab one down all right let's take a look at the ray lineup and the key to victory for them here get their starter some run support early Bo if they can get him that run support early it's likely the other team folds because they know dominant 44 matchup is now live streaming on goats International Sports Showdown 2024 Jose cavier stands in now and watches strike [Applause] one and a foul ball swing and a base hit so they get a man a board with out single he needed that one it's been a tough stretch at the plate lately he got a back door breaking ball really easy to give up on that pitch 144 Tampa Bay 7766 Philadelphia Phillies 8756 first pitch doesn't find the Zone if it were an average catcher behind the plate I'd say take second base but this isn't a catcher you want to run on his quick release is unreal the one swing and a Tapper that rolls foul ball to strike there's the swing in a [Applause] miss the kick in the pitch Runner goes ball misses throw save that's a stolen base I think that Ste kind of tone not just for this game but for the entire series first inning game one so that kind ofs me they're going to be aggressive on off and try to force the issue they can kicks and fires Fly ball to right castanos makes the catch and there's two away game 144 Miami Marlins 3 Pittsburgh Pirates seven final lately only over the last five games first offering and it just misses hammers that one deep left field and forget it just like that they move in front it's two nothing that's a fun way to take the lead just hit one out of the [Applause] park when you're working with this kind of velocity so critical that you move the ball around work quickly and make sure that you keep that hit off balance clearly not fooled by the location or the velocity he was all over that fast now it's Randy a Rosara fast ball for a strike one and one two runs across in the inning and we're just getting started here in the top of the first and ball one [Applause] down the left field line could be extra bases around first and hustling for second the throw in throws off Target as he slides in with a double he got a pitch he could get outt the didn't pull R his over that allowed him to rip that ball down the line for the double Francisco Mia coming up to hit didn't play in last night's game a little breather for him that misses the Zone ball one two outs on the ground to third fo throws out to first they limit the damage here the ray with a two-run homer and it's two zip you're watching Major League Baseball on the show back here in Philadelphia and on the mound today Zack effin and Chris pitching on the road has not been particularly kind to him yeah and you don't want to be too quick to say that he can't pitch on the road sometimes you know it's just a matter of luck it's not having a field difference between the bullpen mound to the mound out there on the playing field don't know what it is but I know this he's got good enough stuff to overcome and get it done on the road as well as at home so we'll see what he's able to do in this one after scor this is where you're looking for that shut down inning get that hot team back in there to swing the bats and here it comes puts it in the air out towards left Center a Ros Arena calls it in and there's one away and time now for the Phillies lineup in that leadoff spot a guy they're looking to get going Trey Turner yeah boo he just hasn't been himself at all lately I mean it's hard to know if it's mechanical if it's mental it's just a struggle all the way around it's something that everybody goes through I think the key is you've got to stick to the process you've got to focus on every pitch and don't worry about the result take it one pitch at a time one at bat at a time Brandon March the next to hit takes ball one the Phils down by a pair here here in game one of this three- game [Applause] set he swings and fouls one off one down base is empty that one to First and he handles it himself for the out batting third the first basan Harper two out SP is empty Bryce Harper to the plate singy you can't ask for anything more this guy checks all the boxes offensively he is the ultimate professional and it doesn't just start at game time it starts in the afternoon the way he prepares and gets ready for the ball game I tell you what his teammates feed off of the leadership that he shows on and off the field here's one comes up empty that's strike two this guy's pounding the zone don't have time to think in between pitches got it by him for the K Phillies down in order they Trail things here to nothing and we're back and now the short stop JP Crawford Chris he's currently the team leader in Ops Allard back to work that one finds the Zone one Crawford a former Gold Glove winner 29 years old and they traded for him earlier this year and the Lefty with the 01 the short stop takes the ball Clyde Washington with home plate duties in this one little bit of a low Zone boot from Clyde nothing crazy though pitchers that W consistently down around the knees and are able to command their off speed stuff tend to have some pretty good success with him back there behind the plate one1 now that's a strike backto back fast BS in that last one called for a strike probably go away but look for him to come back in there to try to finish you off the one two that's the ball two and two out to short Turner now to throw to first on the Run lead off man retired here in the second yeah I'm looking at his body language and he just doesn't seem like things are in sync and the ball's just not coming off his b the way it did earlier in the regular season and now it's ahed Rosario one of the stars in the win yesterday as he had three hits and a strike on the outside edge next offering in there for a strike and it's and two just threw that fast by him elevated and if you're not looking up in that location very difficult to catch up to especially with that velocity boom Zips it across two up two down top of the [Music] second two outs faces empty and now it's Jose Siri singy you got to appreciate a guy who's this good defensively I mean watching him track balls of the Outfield it is beautiful so how much does his speed factor into his ability to go get it it's heartbreaking for the hitter because off the bat he thinks this Ball's going to get down because of that speed and the ability to make up so much Crown he enters the picture and breaks a guy's heart ground ball left side boom goes on to First and it's a one two three inning Rays held in check here they're up two [Applause] nothing back here in Philadelphia bottom of the inning and now for the Phillies Kyle schwarber the pitch right side and foul ball there's one guy that I can think about Boo who started as a third Alex Gordon and then became an elite perennial gold Glover out in left field for the Kansas City Royals but he's a guy when you watch him play you would imagine that that's all he ever played in his life was the Outfield and the pitch yeah some guys just have instincts right I mean that's the way it goes we talk about Larry Walker the Hall of Famer and his Instinct on the bases despite the fact that he didn't play a ton of baseball as a kid 32 now gets a piece there we'll do it again remember Mark K was a real good defensive outfielder good instincts not great speed and down on strikes he goes and that's the first out good late cut for the strike out there that thing really got in on him and you know the cutter isn't really a huge swing and Miss pitch most of the time because it's not really meant to move a whole lot you're just trying to miss the big part of the barrel and maybe get some weak contact but that one right there did a whole lot more than that that was a really good the Rays leading by two bottom half of inning number two just missed yeah and I figured you would get Kat into this because you had a free dinner at his house the other night that is true and a pitch swing and a miss struck him out two away off to a strong start singy as he's punched out three of the first five he's faced definely minimizing contact he can get the swing and miss when he needs it but it'll also keep the defense fresh behind him allowing some balls in play as well two out space is empty they stop center field everything came together for him watch base hits like that one all day long and so could every hitting coach in the league just a nice line drive into center field Al B stands in for the Phillies he set a new career high in home runs this year and singy he's just trying to set the bar as high as possible [Applause] now effin a move to First real M back in there there's a strike one real Meo the runner at first with two gone real M runs throw to Second out at second that ends the inning well trying to get in scoring position but a great catch and throw to the inning that's the way to pick up the pitcher back at Citizens Bank Park now at the plate Josh low the pitch a lot of pitchers have caught on to how good he is hitting the first pitch smart to avoid the zone right there and now the Lefty up and in now two and0 instead of letting the hitter get his arms extended tied him up a little bit slightly up slightly in and pitch in for a strike two and two now that one missed really good take especially with two strikes 32 on the line base hit and the lead off man aboard right there does a great job of staying the big part of the field man there are a lot of hits there Jose Cavo will hit next singled and scored his first time and that one missing low this might be a steel situation but that's not your average catcher behind the dish you have to be careful here the p and that one is lifted in the air Roos moving under this one Roos makes the catch so next to the plate for Tampa Bay yandi Diaz flyed to right his first time snap throw to first low Dives back in safely runner on the go swing in a Miss real mut throws not in time it's a stolen base s he definitely showed off the wheels there yeah it turned out to be a bang bang play stat gives us the data and that stolen base wasn't possible Sprint speed that one's upstairs ball one and a count even one and one and that drops in for a strike and another ball one out and a runner at second we're here in the top half of number three not close with that one Full Count now swing and a miss him out he's locked in at the plate when he's using the whole field he was out in front there just needs to let the ball travel a little more and his timing will be back on track good pitch for the strike now up for Tampa Bay isak paradus he's already homered here in this one right through there for a [Applause] strike runner at second two down here in game one of this three game set started after it appeal to first didn't go man on second two down smash to the left side Turner with the throw to first and that is that the Rays strand just the one but they hold a two nothing lead and welcome back to the ball partk for the bottom of the third now the third baseman Alec B the right hander back to work on the ground the first takes it himself and a quick out number one this is Bryson stop I'm liking what I've seen from him at the dish lately can make it a five game hitting streak with a knock in this one and first offering is fouled off and there's the strike that's a real nice cutter right there I mean this guy can struggle with the inside pitch at times so I'd say it's pretty effective if you can continue to command it on that side of the plate wouldn't chase that time two two the Phillies trailing by two here in the last half of the third swing and a miss had him out front for the strike out and now the center fielder Johan Roans there's the strike two down nobody on swings and misses at the pitch off the plate more and more guys are looking to slug regardless of the count and this situation will keep a close eye on his approach got him swinging pH go down quietly in the inning they're still down it's Tuesday back here Citizens Bank Park out of the fourth here's the left fielder brandy or Ros Arena the wi to the pitch there's the [Applause] strike out to short Trey Turner gloves it tosses to first one up one down and now the catcher comes up to him Francis Mia 0 for one he grounded out in his first it back that's a little bit low one ball no stra B is empty one away top half of inning number four next offering in there for a strike and that strike one and that one fouled off in the air left field no trouble here puts it away for the out and there's two [Applause] down the now it's Short Stop JP Crawford he's over one that's in there that's strike one it was bumpy in the early going for the Lefty but he settled into a really nice Groove next offer is in for a strike well he didn't like those first two pitches now in an 02 hole he's going to have to battle hope he gets a [Applause] mistake and a pitch swings through that one it's a strike out Rays go in order one two three but they're on top two nothing back here in Philadelphia John CH and Chris Singleton with you and leading off the bottom of the fourth Trey Turner Elin back to work R to right base H so r a board to start the inning 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 Brandon Marsh steps to the plate grounded out his first time popped up to the left into foul ground parus drifts towards it brings it in and there's one away the first number three Bry Harper here's Bryce Harper struck out swinging his first time definitely wants to stay out of the double play here ball on the ground in the infield should be an inning ending double play effin a move to First back standing he's in there safely base runner with a oneway lead right there all he's trying to do is get a look at the pitcher move had no intent of stealing on that pitch ball one there Rays up by two we're here in the bottom of the four and it skips into last two pitches have been down in the zone pitch clearly trying to get that ground ball double play but in this count he going to have to give in Elevate his pitches and get back into this atat next off bring is in for a strike and a strike in there Turner runs pitch misses in throw to Second and great jump well he's got Cannon of an arm back there behind the dish a good accurate throw was just as important in controlling the running game so maybe rushed this throw a little bit right there didn't finish it off it was high and I think that's what allowed the base runner to make it safely picks over and Turner's back in Turner the runner at second with one [Applause] away and a face hit right there into third now so Runners at the corners and one out he all over that one you'll hear the phrase it it and that's a it right there left the Barrel in theit zone early SED it up with the well swing and came away with a Drive in center field one away Runners at first and third Kyle schwarber out to Center Siri in position squeezes it run attacks from third he'll score on the sack fly and they Trail by one so many times that one gets out of here and into the seats but he'll take the sack fly RBI good job to get that run in from third here's Nicholas castanos he was a strikeout victim his first time this to Third on Rosario and that is the inning a run on two hits and they leave one we played Four it's the Rays two and the Phillies W and we're back new inning getting started now here is omed Rosario Rosario in his eighth season 28 years old he's been on a terrific run at the plate hitting over 350 in his last 10 that catches the top part of the Zone it's own one he's pitching well but not throwing a ton of first pitch strikes usually doesn't work out for success but you can never predict baseball swing and a liner foul off to the right that one not close it's a ball in two strikes gets a piece and stays [Applause] alive and he hits a ground ball right side and that's just foul one two now keeps the going with a foul B here comes the pitch high in the air out to right C pulls it down one up one down ji to for the r grounded out his first ball one no strikes one ball stra and another ball that one misses and that's ball three he hasn't fallen behind in the count like this all day he's in danger of walking his first batter right here the wi of the pitch and there's Ball Four pretty easy walk right there last pitch wasn't even much to think about so up next Josh low he might want to steal second in this spot but he's dealing with a catcher that has one of the best pop times in the game he needs to pick his spot very wisely foul back ourway and that's out of play this is one of those situations defensively where you can't try to do too much you got to make sure that you feel the ball cleanly and get one out first it's going to be tough to get two with this kind of speed in the Batters box man it first one away now snap throw to first and he's back in safely the 01 just missed oh he's really working him away this bat sometimes take a little bit off velocity try to get a roll over something on the ground stay away from that big hole on the right side of the infield there goes the runner pitches low real Mutual throws that time it's a stolen base singy the best way to catch this player might be on replay yeah sometimes it's the only way to catch her boo when you see that Sprint speed on stat cast right there it's elite and just makes it very tough on the defense a lot of pressure on those guys next pitch is [Applause] outside and ball four board maybe a little L of focus on the M right there pretty much gifted in first base with a quicke pass so now the D Jose Cav for two well all eyes on the double play ball in this spot no better way to get out of this inning movement in the bullpen Christopher Sanchez up and loosening in the and turn warming up as well two on one out well you can't really adjust your game plan for that last pitch Sky hasn't thrown it very much you got to focus on the stuff that he's throwing up there most of the time next offering is down low could be some action here on this next pitch couple Runners on probably a challenge this coming Andie de check swing did he go yes he did Siri the lead Runner out at second low over first of one away and a swing Miss now two out good pitch right there I mean he's attacking a location that this guy the play tends to have trouble with and there's just so much information in this day ande too much information but the guys that can take that information process it and then go out there and EXE the pitch go right after that hitter and get the result that they were anticipating that's really good pitching right there and it's a good job of the pitcher and the catcher working together line drive basee hit around third one runs in the relay to the plate and he's out T down and that ends the inning so a one-on-one hit no errors and a man left last half of the fifth coming up Ray three and the Phillies [Applause] won we head to the bottom of the fifth here's the catcher JT real mut pitch in for a strike one oh he's looking great so far it helps with over 80% of your first pitches or strikes he might be able to go the distance if he keeps this [Applause] up righty to the pl on the ground to Third gathers and throws to First and real m is out that difficult to put that ball in the air or get through it just BS in on the hands Al for one he ground it out to First his last time ball one low one out base is empty [Applause] [Music] swings and misses and a count one and one grab ball up the middle and that one handled the throw to first two up two down so two down now and here is Bryson stop first pitch just misses oh he's got to be pretty proud of this outing so far sometimes guys cow coming into a ballpark like this but he is ATT tack hitters pitching on the road like this is very impressive this has been a treat to watch High ground ball Bas St and that keeps the inning [Applause] going and now here's a speed threat outfielder Johan Roos three pitch strike out last time up got to put up more of a fight in this one and a swinging to miss well if he's going to steal second you want him to go early in the count that way he's not a distraction to the hitter at the plate go ahead and get it out of the way so the hitter can focus on the pitch pitch out but no action the Phils down by a pair last half of inning number five High Fly ball right field low makes the play and the inning is over one left for Philadelphia score holds it's 3-1 we're back and they make a change to start the the new pitcher Christopher Sanchez and one thing on him he's been really good this season at keeping the ball in the par not an easy guy to take deep now here's the Tampa B cleanup hitter isak Paredes he's already homered in this game as he turns on the rubbert here with that good live arm delivers now Fly ball to Right Center no trouble here puts it away for the out and there's one down really nice job to get your first out of the ball game Randy a roena now at the play and first off ring is fouled off one down bases empty swing in a Miss as he was out front action in the pen down there Max Castillo getting loose out there F two cuts and misses it's a strike out two out bace is empty and now the switch H and catcher Francisco Mahia he's been a great free agent sign first pitch and that's in for a strike and that's downed away one ball one strike the line and the pitch good eye right there next pitch is outside first pitch strike from the pitcher but then no Panic at all by the very patient showing good discipline now he's in the driver seat with the 3-1 count and that's a base hit and that keeps the inning alive I'm sure he feels really good about that one solid swing from start to end on time with everything really good balance nice extension and he made it out for the line drive JP crawf leot if he hopes to win the title and immediately pumps in a strike to the left-handed hitter swing and a miss and that strike two going to really need to hang in there with that front side against this left-handed breaking ball and that's outside to the right side and that chance handled over to First and that is the inning so one hit is all they get top of the order two up in the home half of the six ra three and the Phillies won back here in Philadelphia Turner at the pl effin back to work that one misses ball [Applause] one right through there for a strike and the pitch F off foul the short stop takes the ball spoils that one and it remains two and two and the righty deals swings and Lins a b head into left field so a man on base to start the [Applause] inning so diing in Brandon Mar first pitch misses now this team is definitely looking for a big swing of the bat right here try to close that Gap but you know at the very least if you could find a way to manufacture that run from first it feels like it's really important of getting back into this ball game [Applause] righty delivers Chris with that distraction and the Speedy guy at first he's in a favorable hitter count well if nothing else I mean this is a great spot but it's off his b the throw is still in time he keeps his composure and they get the out Harper so digging in now for Philadelphia rice Harper listen there's absolutely no reason to pitch to this guy right here you nibble you see if he'll expand his Zone but don't give him anything to hit if you walk him not a big deal you have a double play opportunity set up fouled off he was [Applause] late next offering in there for a strike and it's nothing in two with the tying run at the plate in the of the six not even close there one and two the count about the right guy at the right spot they really need a rally and this guy is someone you can believe in to find a way to get on base and it's swing and ground off the middle that's a base hit headed for the plate here comes the throw sa big RBI for him right there to me it's just a really control B swing he wasn't trying to do too much with it just stay disciplined got the barrel to the ball and put it in play one down Kyle schwarber stands in for the Phillies and there's the strike with to goahead run at the plate here in game one of this three game set that misses the zone and one and one Bullpen movement for the race Phil M warming up for manager Kevin cash cler also throwing and a c one and two that's a really good pass of the ball right there just a little bit too quick got to find a way just to travel I care more and just misses with that one with two strikes may see some movement over there at first base trying to stay out of the double play right here swings through it and that's a strike out Nick castanos stands in for the Phillies and that's outside and that's ball one Harper off of first with two [Applause] away next offering is in for a strike and that gets the inside corner for a strike that's Off the Mark now two and [Applause] two e move to First Harper's back in a dive foul ball another two two [Applause] coming two outs swing and a miss and that is that so one run in the Inning on this base hit and the home team down a run Major League Baseball is on the show we go to the top of the seventh and stepping in for the Rays Ahmed Rosario the pitch and there's a rocket into the Outfield makes the turn and heads for second and he's going to get to second with nobody out that's how respond leadoff man comes up gets into scoring position now there are several ways that they can get this run across so up next Jose Siri and that one Clips the [Applause] corner Runner and scoring position nobody out here in the top half of inning number seven and there's a ball one ball one strike and a breaking ball drops in for a [Applause] strike swings and this is not what you're looking for after the lead off double a strike out and there's one away well it can be so tough as a hitter to pull yourself out of an extended slump one that lasts for several games even a week or more no right now he's really in so I'm sure his mind is all over the place racing having a hard time sleeping trying to figure out what can get him back on track back to feeling more comfortable and settled in in the box and a foul ball runner at second here one gone that misses and it's one and one the guy at the plate could recognize slider out of the hand didn't stay in the tunnel very long in terms of depth and perception he knew right away it was an off speed pitch and it's second and a foul ball left hand batter Waits pitch misses it's two and two one out and a runner at second chase that time Fly ball down the line and that's a foul ball pick off mov to Second Rosario Dives back in left field Marsh under it he makes the and there's two down now it's the DH Jose cavi one for three that misses one and0 runner at second two down that's hard hit in the line Indiana one left for Tampa but they're up three to two back at CI Bay Park JT M steps in the wi to kick the pitch and a good eye there next offering in there for a strike and the count even at [Applause] one swing and all the bat went flying there well we talk about the hands but not the bat man you want to hold on to that thing and can see his teammates over there if he doesn't come through with the knock he's going to get some business when he goes back to the Dugout looking to get the tyun on base he goes down looking a big first out here in the seven of the punch yeah it just does so much to change the Outlook of an important inning like this but you got the lead off hitter so critical in setting the table when you got a tight game like this stri really puts him on their heels bounce to Third and he can't come up with it but plenty of time to recover and that's the second out well there's a lot riding on that at bat right there nice job of the pitcher to Bear Down make the pitch get the ground ball excellent piece of work so two down now and here is Bryson St fast ball for a strike and it's all and one trying to keep good speed off the bases and that's off the Inside Edge one and one swings through that one holding on to a one-run lead here the bottom of the seven and another ball this one D deep way back there and it's gone we are ti he leaves the yard to right his second of the year and we're all square it's 33 that one just sounded different and might have been the loudest moment yet man my ears are ringing I could feel that swing from the booth cutter inside can be AER you have to catch it off front to get the bar to it does a really good job recognizing it early getting the B to it and hitting it out of the ballp pun and now Kevin Cash Out Of The Dugout and ready to make a move to the Zack effin won't go any further tonight and it's a tie ball game as he heads for The Dugout back with a new arm after a quick Shane on the pitch here he's got a wicked breaking ball in his Arsenal and it's definitely one of his go-to pitches when he needs an out so two down stepping in Johan Roos now it's PTY e to left way out of here home run a gigantic blast his 11th of the year and the Phillies Take the Lead it's 43 he only needed one swing to square it up not wasting any time in that it back boo aggressive and it paid [Applause] off welcome to the game first pitch out of the bullpen a tough one and you know he's just trying to get one in there for a strike and on the other side as a hitter it's a great time to be aggressive and Let It Fly it's not what they were looking for when they turned to him but now he's got to find a way to reset so the Philly batting order turns over Trey Turner getting ready to hit and there's the strike a big swing in a Miss well you got the hitter already chasing that nasty slider if you're on the M you just want to expand the zone right now get a swing and miss and get through this at bat the short stop takes the ball swings misses struck him out but two round Trippers in this inning the long ball was working it's now a 43 ball game it's major league baseball and it's on the show welcome back in a new arm of the mound to start the eth Jeff Hoffman these are the spots relievers really make a name for themselves late and close there's not much margin for but at the same time there's a reason they're put in these situations and a pitch out in front and foul to the left side now the aan swings through that one for strike two Bullpen action for Philadelphia Jose Alvarado the closer of the staff is getting loose to finish this one off St also getting ready Turner lead off man is out here in the eigh I love how guys at this level are able to slow the game down whether it's in the OR on defense right there that was a good job kn how much time he had we talk about that internal clock he was able to gather himself get a good grip and make an accurate throw across the diamond so here's the cleanup hitter isak paradus right through there for a strike trying to hold a one-run lead as the Rays try and punch back down a run just off the Inside Edge oh he hit him and that got him pretty flush that's a scary one when it's riding up above the letters looked to me like he just tried to overthrow the fast a little bit first and here's the pinch Runner Taylor walls one down runner at first Ros Arena will hit next struck out on just three pitches last time your base runner you got to stay dialed in here look for anything in the dirt try your best to get in scoring position that's offering misses down and away and a count one and two right-handed relever and the ball leens count swing and a miss that's a strike out SL got him for strike three well that's the money maker right there two strikes slider down and away from the same side thrower as the hitter I mean that's just tough you're looking to protect with two strikes and very difficult to lay off and here's the catcher Francisco Mia and that is in for a strike going one with the tying run on at first and we're in the top of the eighth and fouled off the healthy cut tough pitch at 98 but a really good pass at the [Applause] ball the2 that misses off the outside edge man oh man I don't know how you take that pitch that's as close as it gets Hoffman checks over to First and he's back wals leads off first with two down of the inning and another ball stays alive Ki sand rder takes off out towards right center field sizes this one up and that's the third out the Rays strand just the one still down a run it's 43 [Applause] so coming into the game now on defense Taylor walls he's the new third baseman and digging in for Philadelphia Brandon march here the right hter back to work that catches the outside corner strike one Tampa Bay Bullpen with some action Shawn Armstrong appears to be getting loose swing in a Miss nice change up and he really sells the change up with that arm [Applause] action that's down and in and a swing in a Miss down on strikes and one out now first number Bryce Harper stands in for the Phillies Harper that's in there it's own and one late in The game everyone gets a little tight way to get ahead on a really good hitter right there one down base is empty pitch misses and now it's even one and one one St the other way wols Zips it to first two up two down now B the designated Kyle two outs Bas is empty Kyle schwarber digs in now and that's outside and it's w too wouldn't chase that time that one fouled off two down nobody on here the bottom half of the eighth inning that one fouled off two and two two down do can't connect on the curve ball struck him out
