00:00Game one of this three game series between the Giants and the Royals.

00:05I expect to see a pitching battle.

00:07Similar stories.

00:08I mean, both these guys were coming off of Tommy John last year, came back to the season.

00:12Robbie Ray went into the rotation.

00:14Bubich went into the bullpen.

00:15He wound up being the eighth inning guy when they went into the playoffs.

00:18He was a really good reliever.

00:20So this year he's in the rotation again.

00:22So both guys reconstructed.

00:24They're both thrown with a lot of confidence.

00:25Giants, of course, is the left hand of Robbie Ray.

00:28And Robbie's had an excellent year.

00:29He's 6-0.

00:30The Giants are undefeated in games that he has pitched.

00:33Ray on the mound tonight against Kansas City.

00:36Hey!

00:36We're going to miss, and that's how this game gets started.

00:39Here's Bobby Wood Jr.

00:40Jr.

00:41Hits it hard to left field, and Ramos won't get it, and now it's going to skip by him.

00:45And Bobby will stop at second base with a one-out double.

00:49Misread it because Jr. usually hits that back, you know, a long way, but he didn't barrel at all.

00:54And it was hard to pick up the sound.

00:56And when the ball hit, it plugged and got by him.

00:59This is slowly hit, and it's going to be a tough play, but Robbie Ray keeps it from being a real tough play.

01:05And Bobby Wood will go to third.

01:07The one-strike pitch swing, and there's a high fly ball into center.

01:11Out in the sunshine, battling the elements out there.

01:14And John Hooley makes the catch getting over.

01:16On the hill tonight for the Kansas City Royals will be the left-hander, Chris Bubich.

01:20Local kid out of Cupertino.

01:22Went to Archbishop Biddy High School in San Jose.

01:24Then on to Stanford, where he was a first-round pick by the Royals back in 2018.

01:29Bubich delivers, and Ramos pops it up.

01:31First base side, foul territory.

01:33Pasquantino ambles back.

01:35Backpedaling makes the grab with Michael Massey sliding behind him to get out of the way.

01:40Now Pasquantino hauls it in.

01:41Ramos is out.

01:43One gone in the bottom of the first inning.

01:45Here's the pitch.

01:47Flores hits it in the air.

01:48Shallow center field.

01:49Michael Massey ranges out.

01:51Backpedaling.

01:51He makes the catch above his blue cap.

01:53Flores is out.

01:54Two gone.

01:55Hit on the ground to the right side.

01:56Michael Massey scoops it up.

01:58Steps and throws to first in time for the out.

02:00Inning over.

02:01And another 2-2 pitch.

02:03And he got him with a high fastball.

02:05He got him to go up out of the zone.

02:07His second strikeout.

02:10Slow roller to third.

02:12And Chapman was deep.

02:13And even if he had picked that up cleanly, he had no chance to get Kanna.

02:17They were teammates in Oakland.

02:19And Kanna has a one-out infield single.

02:21It's this one out into left center field.

02:23Jungle Lee got a good jump and he'll drop it down.

02:26Kanna away from first.

02:27The pitch.

02:28Little Boucher.

02:29Third base side.

02:30Couple of high hops fielded by Chapman.

02:32The hurried throw to first.

02:34In time.

02:35Matt Chapman leads off.

02:36Last of the second inning.

02:37Nothing-nothing scored.

02:38The 1-0 pitch.

02:40Changeup popped up.

02:41Third base side.

02:42Foul ground.

02:42Garcia hustles over the coach's box.

02:45And right on the chalk of the coach's box, he makes the catch.

02:48And Chapman's out.

02:49One away.

02:50The 2-2.

02:51It's over the outside.

02:52Edge called strike three.

02:54A big bending sweeper.

02:55Gets Adamas looking.

02:56Bubich has his first strikeout of the game.

03:00And that is line to center field for an out.

03:03And that was the first, first pitch strike for Bubich.

03:06Kyle Isbell leading off against left-handed pitcher Robbie Ray.

03:10One and one on the pitch on the lefty.

03:12Fastball line the other way.

03:13Left field coming in.

03:15Ramos will play it on a hot.

03:16And Kyle Isbell has a leadoff signal.

03:19The Royals have a hit in each of the first three innings.

03:21But this time, it's the leadoff man.

03:23And India takes down and in.

03:25So the Royals have two on with nobody out.

03:27And Bobby Wood Jr. coming up.

03:28He lines this one to short.

03:30Caught by Adamas.

03:31Goes to second for a double play.

03:34And Fitzgerald pivoted and was hoping maybe he had a chance to go to first for a triple play.

03:40The runner at first, India, held and got back.

03:43So no triple play.

03:44But it is a double play liner off the bat of Bobby Wood.

03:48Giants will take it.

03:49The pitch is hit high in the air to center field.

03:52Not deep.

03:53Jung-Hoo Lee coming in.

03:54Still coming in.

03:55And he will now slow up.

03:57Make the catch for round number three.

03:59Bubich is going to try to keep a scoreless here in the bottom against the bottom of the order.

04:03And it is inside for a leadoff walk.

04:06And that's the Giants' first base runner.

04:08And the pitch.

04:09And a swing.

04:09Fly ball hit pretty well to center.

04:11Isbell going back to the track right in front of the 3-91 side.

04:15He pulls it down for the first out of the inning.

04:18And a swing and a miss.

04:19And there's a strikeout on the fastball at 93.

04:22That's the second K of the night for Chris Bubich in his pitcher's duel.

04:27Trying to work around his leadoff walk.

04:29With the runner going.

04:30Bubich gets a two-hopper and throws over to Vinny.

04:33And that puts an end to the Giants' bottom of the third inning.

04:36Hunter Renfro leads off the top of the fifth.

04:38One-two pitch.

04:40Strike three call.

04:42And that was a slider up.

04:44Renfro has given the little stare to Dan Merzell.

04:49It was a slider that starts like it's out of the strike zone.

04:52It's too high.

04:52And then when it breaks and it drops down into the top of the strike zone.

04:57It's a ground ball.

04:57Just passed Ray to second.

04:59Over to his right.

05:00Fitzgerald's got it.

05:00Spins around.

05:01Throws over to first.

05:02Out number two.

05:04There's a drive in the center field toward left center.

05:06On the move to his right is Jung-Hoo Lee.

05:09Very nicely done.

05:10Bottom of the fifth at Oracle Park.

05:12Royals and Giants scoreless.

05:14Willie Adamas swings at the first pitch.

05:18It's a fastball popped up.

05:19Foul ground.

05:20First base side.

05:21Pass Quintino ranges over.

05:22Onto the warning track.

05:23Dirt.

05:24And he makes the catch.

05:25One pitch.

05:26One out for Bubich.

05:27Little bit high.

05:29And that's ball four.

05:30So Bubich issues his second walk of the night.

05:32Schmitz on at first with one out for Tyler Fitzgerald.

05:35The pitch.

05:36Rolled back to the mound.

05:37Bubich picks it up.

05:38Looks at second.

05:39Double clutches.

05:40Instead throws to first.

05:41And gets the sure out.

05:42He retires Fitzgerald.

05:44Too gone.

05:44The 0-2.

05:46Fisted toward first.

05:47Pass Quintino.

05:47Dives.

05:48Gets it on the backhand.

05:49He gets to his feet.

05:50Touches first for the out.

05:52Inning over.

05:53And Chris Bubich is through five scoreless and hitless innings at Oracle Park.

05:58In the last of the sixth innings.

06:00Chris Bubich who has not allowed a hit.

06:03Giants have drawn two walks.

06:04And that's all they've had.

06:060-2.

06:07And a breaking ball is called.

06:08Strike three.

06:09Got him looking.

06:10Bubich with his fourth.

06:12Strike out on the night.

06:13And the pitch.

06:14And a swing.

06:14And a chopper.

06:15Left side.

06:15Gloved by Bubich.

06:17From the third base side of the mound.

06:18He throws a strike to Vinny for the second out of the inning.

06:21Bubich very smoothly.

06:22Calmly.

06:230-2.

06:24And a swing.

06:25And a bouncer to the right side.

06:26To his left.

06:27Massey.

06:27He slipped.

06:28And it gets by him into right center field.

06:31And William Wilmer Flores hit a ball that off the bat looked like it was going to be a 4-3.

06:36And it'll be an error on Massey.

06:39They changed that ground ball.

06:42No longer an error.

06:43Well.

06:43It's a base hit.

06:44It's the first hit of the night.

06:45No longer a no-hitter for Bubich.

06:47But most importantly it is a shutout.

06:49Now what an unceremonious way for a no-hit bid to end.

06:53Tyrell Blanco is going to run now for Canna at first base.

06:56Now the runner goes.

06:57They got it picked off.

06:58Throw down to first.

06:59Now down to the shortstop.

07:00Covering at second.

07:01For the out.

07:02So now here comes Matt Quintero running out of the dugout.

07:04Wondering about the pickoff move.

07:06Or the move period.

07:08He's out there to argue immediately with the second base umpire.

07:10Jordan Baker.

07:11Who has thrown Matt Quintero out of the game.

07:14Matt Quintero is talking about blocking the base.

07:16And Q clearly thinks it should have been called on that play.

07:20So two outs in the top of the eighth inning.

07:22Biggio leads off second.

07:23Pasquintino at the plate facing Rodgers.

07:26The 1-0 pitch.

07:28Pasquintino launches it deep to right field.

07:30Montos is out of the track.

07:32Looks up.

07:32It's out of here.

07:34Out of the second row.

07:35Bleachers up above the high right field fence.

07:39Vinny Pasquintino clears the bricks and scores the first two runs of the game with one swing.

07:45Huff at second.

07:47Ramos at first.

07:48Jung-Hoo Lee who for the year with runners in scoring position has hit 3-42.

07:54Swing.

07:54Wide drive.

07:55Base hit down the right field line.

07:57Hustling over to cut it off.

07:59In the corner is Renfro.

08:00One run score is going to third and stopping there.

08:04Is Ramos on a double by Jung-Hoo Lee.

08:06And it's 2-1 Kansas City.

08:08And so Kyle Isbell gets a chance with runners on first and second and two outs.

08:14And here's a 3-1 to Isbell and he lines it to center field.

08:17That will be down in front of Lee.

08:20Garcia scores.

08:21Renfro's tag out.

08:22That ends the inning.

08:23And Carlos Estevez takes the mound.

08:26Here's the pitch.

08:27Swung on and missed.

08:28Strike three.

08:29Ball game.

08:30And the Royals have a second consecutive win and a second consecutive heart pounder.
