00:00On the Hill tonight for the
00:02Giants will be Hayden Birdsong
00:04making his first start of the
00:06year.
00:0611 appearances all have been
00:07out of the bullpen and he's
00:08been very very good.
00:10Jonathan India leads off
00:11against Hayden Birdsong lifted
00:14out to your strength ski and
00:18that's how this game gets
00:19started.
00:20Bobby Witt Junior steps to the
00:21plate and there's a swinging
00:23strike three on a high 98 mile
00:26an hour fastball.
00:27Birdsong is bringing it to start
00:29the night two down in the top
00:30of the first and brings up any
00:31pass Quintino line sharply down
00:34the left field line that's a base
00:35hit toward the corner Ramos cuts
00:37it off before it gets to the
00:38track the two strike two out hit
00:40for Vinny pass Quintino and the
00:42Royals have their first hit of
00:43the game.
00:43The pitch little soft bouncer
00:46towards short and it's picked up
00:48by Adamas and the sort of first
00:49in time and now Michael Lorenzen
00:51takes the mound for the bottom of
00:52the first inning.
00:53He makes his 10th start of the
00:54season.
00:55He enters the 376 ERA.
00:58So here's your strength ski
00:59fastball hit sharply high in the
01:01air deep center field is bells all
01:03the way back to the warning track.
01:04He makes the catch and your
01:06strength ski sound one away.
01:07Now he faces Wilmer Flores.
01:09We mentioned the ownage that
01:10Flores has on Lorenzen seven for
01:1314 with three home run.
01:16And onage is onage.
01:18That is definitely an onage hit.
01:20That's the weakest hit he's had
01:22all week.
01:23It's 62 miles an hour.
01:26That's well hit into right.
01:28Waters moves toward the corner and
01:29runs it down.
01:30Two down.
01:31Wilmer Flores still at first and
01:32here is Elliot Ramos.
01:34Swing.
01:35Wind into right center field.
01:36That's going to get down.
01:37Base hit.
01:38And the Giants have runners at
01:39first and third.
01:40Now with two down.
01:41Willie Adamas will come up.
01:43Adamas hits it in the air.
01:44Shallow right field.
01:46Massey sprints out.
01:47Waters scrambles in.
01:48He makes the catch and that
01:49ends the inning.
01:50Mike Hill Garcia leads off.
01:52Lined up the right field line
01:54and just inside the line.
01:56And Mike Hill's on with a lead
01:57off single.
01:58Kevin Biggio steps in.
02:00Runner goes.
02:00Swing and a miss.
02:01Bailey's throw.
02:02And not in time.
02:04Although the Giants are going to
02:05check it.
02:05I think they got him.
02:07I think he's out.
02:08Very very close at second base.
02:10Right before the spike hit the
02:13bag.
02:13I mean barely but I think he
02:15might have gotten him.
02:16After review.
02:17The field was overturned.
02:18And the runner is out.
02:19San Francisco retains.
02:20It's the 11th runner that
02:22Bailey's caught this year.
02:23And now there are two outs in
02:25the top of the second with the
02:26bases empty for Michael Massey.
02:28Swing and a miss.
02:29He struck it out with a
02:30changeup.
02:30Long at bat there.
02:32And he's thrown 35 pitches in
02:33these first two innings
02:34scorelessly however.
02:35So the Royals come up in the
02:36third inning with Drew
02:37Waters which hit it about
02:38left handed.
02:40Line to center field.
02:41And coming up is Lee.
02:43He made a sliding attempt but
02:45it didn't stick in the glove.
02:46And that'll bring up Isbell.
02:47We had a big RBI single in the
02:49ninth inning last night.
02:50And that's thrown away and
02:51that's going to roll a long way
02:53away.
02:54But Waters will just move up 90
02:55feet.
02:56The Royals have a runner in
02:56scoring position but nobody out
02:58after Bird's on it.
02:59There's nothing Lamont Wade
03:00Jr. could do there.
03:01He bounced the pickoff throw
03:02well in front of him.
03:04And now Isbell shows bunt and
03:06Waters will go to third on a
03:07wild pitch.
03:08Well a little sinking looping
03:10liner into center field
03:11essentially is turned into a
03:12triple.
03:13And the pitch.
03:14And a swing and a fly ball
03:16hit pretty well to center.
03:17Lee is there tagging his
03:18Waters catches May.
03:20Here comes Waters.
03:21Here's the throw home.
03:22It is cut off.
03:22And the Royals take a 1-0 lead
03:24on a sacrifice fly off the
03:26bat of Kyle Isbell.
03:27After Drew Waters started the
03:29inning with a base hit.
03:30And wound up getting to third
03:31base.
03:31And now Isbell has RBIs in his
03:34last two plate appearances.
03:35Tyler Fitzgerald for the
03:36Giants.
03:37Here's the first pitch to him.
03:38And he'll swing and hit it
03:39well.
03:40Deep left field.
03:41Back goes the left fielder.
03:42Biggio reaches up.
03:43And he made the catch.
03:45He's got it.
03:46And then slams into the wall
03:47face first.
03:49Whoa.
03:50What a catch.
03:51Great focus.
03:52This ball had extra bases all
03:54over it.
03:55Perfect route.
03:55Straight as a string right to
03:56the ball.
03:57Crash landing.
03:58Busted the glasses.
03:59He'll need some new ones.
04:00But that catch right there for
04:02Lorenzen is golden.
04:03The batter is Salvador Perez.
04:04This is a flare.
04:08And Ramos coming out of
04:11nowhere makes the catch.
04:12He has made some unbelievable
04:14dive he plays in his last
04:16couple weeks.
04:17Got to go a long way.
04:18Lays out for it.
04:19Little snow cone at the end.
04:20Little bit of one.
04:21Yeah.
04:22Hayden Birdsong digs out.
04:23So two up two down.
04:24Elliott Ramos will stand in.
04:27In tight and it hit him.
04:28That got a piece of Ramos.
04:30Barely off the protective mitt
04:32that Elliott wears to cover his
04:34left hand.
04:35Giants will take the base
04:36runner.
04:36Here's Willie Adamas.
04:38Runner goes.
04:39Way out into triples alley.
04:41And on the move is Waiters.
04:42And it's a big hop.
04:44Up against the wall.
04:46Here comes Ramos.
04:47He's going to score.
04:48To third.
04:49Adamas.
04:50This game is tied.
04:52Willie Adamas.
04:53Man he blasted that one way
04:55out towards the deepest part
04:56of the park.
04:57And it just kept going.
04:58And give Ramos some credit
04:59for a pretty good read on the
05:01bases.
05:01Elliott.
05:02He turned around second and
05:03got a good read and chugged
05:05home without a play.
05:06Allowing Adamas to go to
05:08third.
05:08Brand new ball game and a
05:09winner of third with one out.
05:10Here's the pitch to Wade.
05:12And Wade takes low ball four.
05:14Now it's up to Schmidt.
05:15First and third.
05:16One out.
05:17He'll one.
05:18He swings and hits a base hit
05:19in the left field.
05:20Adamas scores.
05:22Schmidt drives in the go ahead
05:24run.
05:24It's two to one Giants here
05:25on the bottom of the fourth.
05:26But Casey Schmidt comes through
05:28to God.
05:29And brings up Kyle Isbell.
05:30Birdsong delivers.
05:32And Isbell lines it down the
05:33right field line.
05:34A base hit.
05:35Bouncing toward the fence.
05:36A two out double for Kyle
05:38Isbell.
05:39Who continues to swing a hot
05:41bat in the month of May.
05:42This will be pitch number
05:4380.
05:44Birdsong is ready.
05:45He throws.
05:46Swing.
05:46And there's a high pop up.
05:48Way up there.
05:49Shallow left center field.
05:50And it is Rommels.
05:52The left fielder.
05:53Five strong in the books.
05:55In the first start of the year.
05:56From Hayden Birdsong.
05:58Yaz has flied out deep to center
05:59and singled.
06:01Knocked out.
06:02And Yaz is going to have a hit.
06:04Yaz is aboard.
06:05Infield hit.
06:06Here is Wilmer Flores.
06:08Grounded to Vinny.
06:10And the throw ends up
06:12in left field.
06:13First and third.
06:14Nobody out.
06:14That's a first miscue
06:16by Passquatch all year.
06:18And it didn't come at a good time.
06:19But they never do.
06:20You want to avoid
06:21hitting the runner with the ball.
06:23So you're cognizant
06:24of throwing that ball
06:25in the inside part.
06:26And it just ran away from you.
06:27What a break for the Giants.
06:29And here comes Jung-Hoo Lee.
06:30Swing and a line drive
06:31up the middle.
06:32Base hit into center field.
06:34Jung-Hoo Lee gets it done
06:36on a curveball.
06:37Destremski in to score.
06:38Flores over to second.
06:40And the Giants make it
06:41a 3-1 game.
06:4231st RBI of the year
06:43for Jung-Hoo Lee.
06:44And it was a curveball
06:45and it was up.
06:46So Lorenzen
06:46threw three scoreless innings.
06:48Gave up two runs
06:49in the fourth.
06:50Now he's yielded
06:50a run in the fifth.
06:5190 pitches now
06:52for Lorenzen.
06:53He's been grinding
06:54through his start tonight.
06:56Swung on and missed.
06:57Strike three.
06:58Got him with a sweeper.
06:59That was a big pitch
07:00for a big first out.
07:02Hunter's out first
07:03and second.
07:03Now with one out.
07:04Adamus tripled
07:05his last time up.
07:07That bounces away
07:08from Salvi.
07:09That's 90 feet
07:10for Flores to third
07:11and for Lee to second.
07:13The payoff pitch.
07:14Swung on and missed.
07:15Strike three.
07:16Nasty slider
07:18down and away.
07:19Back to back
07:20Caves for Lorenzen.
07:21So Matt Potrero
07:22comes out.
07:23They go to the pen.
07:24That's it for Lorenzen.
07:25Angel Serpa
07:26going to try and finish
07:27off the Giants
07:28facing Lamont Wade Jr.
07:30Serpa gets a ground ball.
07:32Jr. charges
07:33and throws him out.
07:35So that could have been
07:35a lot worse.
07:37Patrick Bailey
07:38has struck out
07:39and grounded out.
07:40In a swing
07:40and a little soft liner.
07:42Caught by Bobby
07:43on a dive
07:43in the shallow
07:44outfield grass.
07:46A Superman dive
07:47by Bobby Witt Jr.
07:49to rob Patrick Bailey
07:50of a base hit.
07:52Diving to his right.
07:53My goodness.
07:54He looked like
07:54he was levitating
07:56and off the bat
07:57the way that he took off
07:58you just knew
07:59he was about to make
08:00another highlight reel play.
08:03My goodness.
08:04Hunter Renfro
08:05is a pinch hitter
08:06for Isbel
08:07is on to begin
08:08the bottom of the
08:09eighth inning.
08:09He is digging for second
08:10and he's going to be
08:11in there.
08:12Wasn't sure to go or not
08:13but hey it worked out.
08:14Let's see if we can
08:15turn something into it here.
08:17On the ground to second.
08:18That'll move Renfro.
08:20Giants will take the out.
08:21Heck yeah.
08:21There's nothing wrong
08:22with that.
08:22That's productive out there.
08:23And now here comes
08:24Bob Melvin walking
08:25out of the mound.
08:26Duvall has not been
08:27warming up for all that long.
08:29Still a pitching change
08:30all the same
08:31with Bobby Witt Jr.
08:32due up.
08:32A runner on third
08:33and one out
08:34in the top of the eighth.
08:35Camilo Duvall
08:36enters the fray.
08:38And there's a ground ball
08:38to the right side.
08:39It's going to be a race
08:40to the base
08:41and Junior is safe.
08:42An infield hit
08:44for Bobby Witt Jr.
08:45The Royals cash in
08:46Hunter Renfro's
08:47leadoff double
08:48and it's now
08:49three to two
08:50in the top
