00:00Wednesday afternoon baseball from Oracle Park here in San Francisco and the Giants and D-backs.
00:06Well, they split the first two games and today it's the final game of the series.
00:10For the orange and black, it's going to be Jordan Hicks, who's got a 1-4 record and a 5-8-2 ERA.
00:15His lone win came back in his first start on March 31st in his hometown of Houston.
00:19Hicks in inning number one has an ERA of 12-38 with a total of 11 earned runs and just seven strikeouts.
00:27One out, nobody on here is Cattell Marte.
00:30But Torrey reminded all of us this morning, look, Cattell is still a work in progress and they have to be patient with him.
00:35As he comes back from that left hamstring injury.
00:38Marte chops it down the line in right and that ball is gone.
00:43Cattell Marte gets the Diamondbacks on the board.
00:47Well, that's the way to bust out of a hitless series so far as fourth of the year.
00:52It looked like the only question was fair or foul that time off the bat.
00:55But Cattell was out in front of that pitch just a little bit.
00:59But able to keep it fair down that right field line where it's only 309 feet.
01:03Marte, since coming back off the I-L, is only now seven for 36.
01:08But four of those seven hits for a home run.
01:11Eduardo Rodriguez, you know, the D-backs gave him a big contract.
01:15He hasn't lived up to it yet.
01:16He was hurt most of last year.
01:18Now this season, his ERA is close to seven.
01:21And he was just pounded in his last start by the Dodgers.
01:25Eight runs in two and two-thirds innings.
01:28And Ramos swings and misses.
01:30The bat goes flying towards the on-deck circle.
01:33And a pretty interesting first down.
01:34It really was.
01:35That bat, he wrapped it around his shoulders and threw it almost directly behind him.
01:39Chapman swings and pops it up to shallow right field.
01:43Carroll comes in.
01:44He'll make the one-handed grab.
01:45And that's going to do it for San Francisco.
01:47Now that high throw on what could have been a great play out as the D-backs set up with runners in scoring position.
01:53And Pavin Smith has a double.
01:55Second and third.
01:56No outs to start the second for the Diamondbacks.
01:58Here's Geraldo Perdomo.
01:59The infield is in for the Giants.
02:01You know Perdomo is going to put a big league at bat on you.
02:05That one rolls, throws.
02:06Suarez will score.
02:08Montos has got it in right.
02:09They'll stop Pavin.
02:10It's an RBI for Perdomo and a 2-0 Diamondback lead.
02:14And three straight hits open up the second.
02:15That's a danger of bringing your infield in early in a ballgame.
02:19Very tough to have any kind of range when you're playing that close to home plate.
02:22He'll no outs.
02:23They're on the corners for Alec Thomas.
02:25He's hit in three of his last four games.
02:27Alec shoots it here to get infield.
02:29Pavin will score the third Diamondback.
02:31Run an RBI single for Alec Thomas.
02:33Four consecutive hits open up the second.
02:36Alec saw Pavin Smith slap on the other way and said, that looks like fun.
02:40I think I'll try.
02:41Ose trying to give himself up.
02:42Takes the base on balls and they're loaded with no outs.
02:45First five have reached in the inning.
02:48Hicks is in real trouble here.
02:49Already down three zip.
02:51And Corbin Carroll at the plate.
02:52He's got five homers in his last ten games.
02:552-0.
02:55Carroll swings.
02:56A liner.
02:57Caught by a leaping B.R. at first.
02:59Who then dives to the bag and doubles off Herrera.
03:03What a play.
03:05And did Jordan Hicks need that?
03:07David B.R.
03:08We're only in the second inning.
03:10May have just saved the game for the Giants.
03:12That's a short two-run double.
03:14Maybe clears the bases.
03:16Instead, it's two out.
03:18You're right.
03:18Not out of it yet.
03:19Ose gets a hit here.
03:20And two more runs could score.
03:22Three-two pitch.
03:23And he swings and misses.
03:25Struck him out with a splitter.
03:27And Jordan Hicks, while he gives up two in the inning,
03:30it could have been much, much worse.
03:33He's trying to keep it out of the middle of the plate,
03:35but he's walked two in the inning.
03:36And the Giants have the bases full.
03:38So here we go.
03:40Kirsten Koss, just as he did yesterday in the bottom of the second,
03:44will come to the plate with the bases loaded.
03:47And the Giants down three-nothing.
03:49And he flares one to right.
03:51And that's a base hit.
03:53They're going to go for a play at third.
03:56A run comes in.
03:58It's three-to-one.
03:59Not a grand slam, but Christian Koss again delivers with the bases loaded.
04:04And it's now a three-to-one game.
04:06He's the guy you want up right now.
04:07This is the guy who's the hottest giant here the last week and a half.
04:11Two-two pitch.
04:12Ramos swings and hits a high fly ball into right.
04:15Room out there for Carroll, battling the wind as he backs up and now makes the catch.
04:20A couple of runners will tag, though.
04:22Huff scores on the play.
04:24He'll give Elliott Ramos an RBI, a sacrifice fly.
04:28And now the Giants only trail three-to-two.
04:30Turns up Wilmer Flores.
04:32Wilmer singled his first time up today.
04:34Swung on, popped up.
04:36Foul territory, first base side.
04:37This is a tough play for Pavin.
04:39He's backpedaling.
04:40And he holds on, makes the catch.
04:43The inning comes to an end.
04:46They just toppled over.
04:47And, fortunately, that's going to do it for San Francisco in the second.
04:51And a couple of hits open up the Diamondback third inning.
04:54Bob Melvin's seen enough.
04:55It is not Hicks' day.
04:57He will not get an out in the third.
04:59And the Giants will have to go to their bullpen.
05:01The Giants are going to, I think, look for Birdsong to go multiple innings here.
05:05They'll face Suarez.
05:06Runners at first and third.
05:08Nobody out.
05:08Geno cranks it high in the air.
05:11Way back and gone.
05:15Eugenio Suarez.
05:17A three-run homer and it's 6-2.
05:20That's Geno's 13th.
05:22This one all Geno.
05:24He's able to get to a 96-mile-an-hour fastball down and in.
05:27And gets all the barrel to it.
05:29Hits at 105 miles an hour out to left.
05:31And when he gets hot, the home runs come in bunches.
05:35Corbin's got 14.
05:36Big love for Geno.
05:37He's got 13.
05:39And the Diamondbacks have a 6-2 lead.
05:41So the first hit today for Corbin Carroll.
05:43Finds a hole in right center field and that's a one-out single.
05:46Marte homered his first time up.
05:48Marte slams one deep to right center.
05:52And Ketel Marte has got another one.
05:57A homer in the first, another one in the fourth.
06:00That's his fifth of the year.
06:01And the Diamondbacks have broken this thing wide open.
06:04Wow, that ball was hit really hard.
06:06But his first home run was right down that right field line.
06:10More of a line drive home run.
06:11This is a towering blast to right center.
06:14Ketel Marte is figuring things out.
06:17Matos at second, the yard first.
06:20Big out to get for Eduardo here.
06:22Elliott Ramos in the leadoff spot.
06:24Dropping a run with a sack fly his last time up.
06:27Giants can get back in the game with a one swing here.
06:29There's a line drive, over third, a fair ball.
06:33That'll kick around in the corner.
06:35Matos has scored.
06:36VR being waved around third.
06:38He's heading home and he'll score standing.
06:42Elliott Ramos with a two-out, two-run double.
06:45Giants needed that and now it's eight to four.
06:49He worked the count in his favor and delivers.
06:52All of a sudden we got a ball game.
06:53That's two hits today for Wilmer Flores.
06:55Good start to the bottom of the seventh for the Giants.
06:57All right, put your rally hats on. Here we go.
06:59They need to get something here in this bottom of the seventh.
07:02Quiet day so far for Jung-Hoo.
07:050 for 3.
07:06Lee with a home run yesterday.
07:073 for 12 in the series.
07:09Hammered to right.
07:11Hit well.
07:13Out of here.
07:15A home run.
07:17Jung-Hoo Lee.
07:18His second homer in his many days.
07:21And this one a two-run blast.
07:23Gets the Giants back within two.
07:25It's 8-6.
07:26Just like last night, Jung-Hoo Lee delivers big time.
07:30102 miles an hour, 393 into right center field.
07:33And we got a ball game, 8-6.
07:35Yeah, the Giants bring in a new pitcher.
07:38Eric Miller comes on to face the middle part of this Arizona lineup.
07:43Or does Gurriel Jr. will lead off.
07:44And on the first pitch, he swings, rolls it weakly to third,
07:47charging Chapman, scoops it up, throws to first, in time.
07:51Slow roller to third.
07:53The last hop was on the dirt, a short hop that he trapped into his glove,
07:57throws it off the wrong foot, a bullet right on the money.
08:00Naylor swings.
08:00He pops this one up on the foul side of home plate.
08:05And Chapman calls off his catcher.
08:07The two nearly collide.
08:09Not exactly a master class of defense, those last two swings by Naylor.
08:12But the out is recorded.
08:14And now two down for Suarez.
08:16As he swings, grounds it to third.
08:18This much more routine.
08:19Chapman fields it.
08:20And his throw on to first, in time.
08:22Out number three.
08:23Busy inning over there at third for Matt Chapman.
08:26If Koss reaches here, you bring Ramos up there as the tying run.
08:29This is in with a fastball.
08:31That's exactly what they've done.
08:32Here comes Ramos, a big swinger, in the leadoff spot.
08:36A sack fly for a run in the second, a two-run double in the fourth.
08:391-1.
08:40Ramos swings, bounces it to third.
08:42It's gloved in fairground.
08:43Behind the bag by Suarez.
08:45Long throw to first.
08:46Not in time.
08:48Koss, though, is off the bag at second.
08:50He's hurt.
08:51And the D-backs throw behind him.
08:54And Koss has been tagged out.
08:56Well, that's interference.
08:58Bob Melvin's going to come out and find out the health of his player.
09:01That's absolutely interference.
09:03I think they're going to keep this inning going here.
09:06Corey Lovello's coming out to talk to Mark Ripperger,
09:08where the crew chief is the first-base umpire.
09:11I mean, that sure looked like the very definition of obstruction.
09:14Koss, the man not only an out, but an out to end the inning.
09:17Lowe, in total disbelief, now pointing at the different umpires,
09:21including crew chief Mark Ripperger.
09:24And it looks like Lovello's soon to be ejected.
09:26There it is.
09:27Corey Lovello pointing at all four umpires.
09:30He's throwing them all out of the game.
09:32And he is hot.
09:33Mark Ripperger is pleading his case.
09:36And, Corey, what do you want us to do?
09:37That's obstruction.
09:38And, Corey's making a counterpoint.
09:40Now he's been throwing out of the game.
09:42So, I think the result out of all of this is nobody's happy.
09:46The D-backs are unhappy because they believe the inning should be over.
09:50Giants are unhappy because of the placement of the runners.
09:52So, here we go.
09:53Wilmer Flores with runners at first and second.
09:57Two outs.
09:58The go-ahead run at the plate.
09:592-0 popped up.
10:01It's on the infield.
10:02First baseman, Pavin Smith, coming down.
10:04Jose Herrera, the catcher, will make the catch in front of home plate.
10:08And after all that, the dust settles and no run score.
10:11The Giants stray at two.
10:13He'll be closed out Monday's 2-1 win.
10:16Got the final three outs in the ninth on just nine pitches.
10:18Now he gets the heart of the order here.
10:20Up the middle.
10:22And a base hit.
10:23Off the glove of Perdomo.
10:25And there's life.
10:26Now Willie Adamas will bat as the possible tying run.
10:30He swings and drives it out to deep center.
10:32Hit well.
10:33Thomas back.
10:34It is over his head.
10:36Bounces off the warning track and up over the fence for an automatic double.
10:42Jatman will have to stop at third.
10:44He was going to score, although the meaningful run here for the Giants
10:49is Adamas at second.
10:51But the possible tying runs are now in scoring position with only the one out.
10:55The payoff pitch.
10:57Bailey takes.
10:58Outside ball four.
11:00And so Mike Kustremski is going to hit here with the bases loaded.
11:042-2.
11:06Swing!
11:06And a miss.
11:07He struck him out.
11:09Four-seam fastball in too tight.
11:11And now the Giants down to their final out.
11:14And now it will be Lamont Wade Jr.
11:16What a game.
11:173-2.
11:18Two outs.
11:19Bottom of the ninth.
11:20Bases loaded.
11:21Everybody moving on the pitch.
11:22Everybody on their feet here at Oracle Park.
11:24Let's go.
11:25It all comes down to this.
11:27Outside ball four.
11:29Wade draws.
11:30The bases loaded.
11:31Walk.
11:31Chapman scores.
11:33And now it's an 8-7 game.
11:36Koss who had the big hit.
11:38The grand slam here last night.
11:41Has an RBI single with the bases loaded today.
11:44Here he is again.
11:45From 0-2 to 2-2.
11:47Christian Koss having a big series.
11:50Six RBIs in the three games.
11:52Can he do it again?
11:54Fly ball.
11:55Short right center.
11:56Who's going to get there?
11:57Alec Thomas has it.
11:59Shelby Miller walks the high wire and leaves them loaded.
12:02And the Diamondbacks hang on.
12:04From 8-7 they take 2-3 in San Francisco.
