00:01On the hill tonight for the Giants will be the left-handed veteran Alex Wood.

00:04Alex Wood, 30 years of age, and he's in his eighth year at the big league level this season.

00:10Off to a great start, 3-0 and four starts with the 1-9-6 ERA,

00:14with 22 strikeouts and 23 innings against five walks.

00:17Isaiah Kiner-Falefa to lead off.

00:19Chases that back foot slider, swing and a miss, strike three.

00:22For three pitches and a strikeout to begin the game.

00:25Brings up Nick Solak.

00:27Solak strikes out swinging.

00:28He threw that slider again, and he got him.

00:31Two down, back-to-back strikeouts for Alex Wood.

00:34And up comes the left-handed hitting first baseman, Nate Lowe.

00:37Drive to left field.

00:38Tauchman moving over quickly to his right.

00:40He'll get there and make the catch on the move.

00:42Four out, number three, Alex Wood.

00:44Nine pitches in the first inning.

00:46On the hill tonight for the Texas Rangers will be the veteran Kyle Gibson.

00:50Gibson, 33 years of age, and his eighth year at the big league level.

00:52This is what he has done this year.

00:54He had a rough first start.

00:55After that, he's been money.

00:563-0 of the year with a 2-4-0 ERA.

00:59Mike Tauchman leading it off.

01:00And that one out to left field.

01:02And a diving catch by Chris Davis.

01:05Wow.

01:06First chance we've seen him have defensively as a Ranger.

01:11And who said Chris Davis could only be a DH?

01:13That was a special defensive play right there.

01:15So Tauchman was robbed.

01:17Here's Yastrzemski.

01:18And this one lifted to short center field.

01:22And Garcia takes care of it.

01:24Here is Buster Posey.

01:26Another good day yesterday at the plate for Buster.

01:29What a start to the year for him.

01:30And that one is off the plate outside.

01:32Ball four.

01:33Fastball.

01:33Posey draws another walk.

01:35So here's Brandon Belt.

01:36Chance to hit with a man on base.

01:38Belt hits it high into the year.

01:40Deep left center field.

01:41Garcia has room going back to his right.

01:43But just a little shy of the track he makes the one hand grab.

01:46And that will do it for the Giants.

01:48Giants nothing.

01:48Rangers nothing.

01:49As Adolis Garcia leads off for Texas.

01:52And Longoria picks it.

01:54One away.

01:55So far four up four down for Alex Wood.

01:57As the left handed hitting Joey Gallo.

01:59Steps into the batter's box.

02:01Redded belt.

02:02Waves off.

02:03Wood gets the unassisted put out.

02:05Gallo out number two.

02:07Two outs for Davis.

02:08Here's a swing and a grounder to short.

02:10Crawford has it.

02:11He played back to get a truer hop.

02:12He knew he had time.

02:14And he throws out Davis.

02:15So Alex Wood very quickly retires the side in order.

02:19Evan Longoria to lead off the home second for San Francisco.

02:23Longoria blasts one deep out to left field.

02:26Davis is there.

02:27One away.

02:28And here comes Brandon Crawford.

02:30And that's on the outside corner called third strike.

02:32And that's the first strikeout for Kyle Gibbs.

02:34Two outs for Wilmer Flores.

02:36Swing and a miss from a hard slider away.

02:39Gibson sets him down in order.

02:40Alex Wood's retired all seven that he's faced so far.

02:43And Jonah Heim will come to the plate.

02:46And this one blooped over second.

02:47Could be trouble.

02:49Drops in.

02:49Base hit.

02:50Heim will be the first base runner of the night for the Rangers.

02:53Kyle Gibson now comes to the plate.

02:55This one is popped up on a bun.

02:56And Belt's going to come in and catch it.

02:58Four out number two.

02:59Two outs.

03:01Runner at first for Kiner.

03:03Falefo's ground ball.

03:04Right to short.

03:05That's where Crawford was playing.

03:06He'll throw the short way to second floor is on the bag for the force out.

03:10Well pitched on both sides so far.

03:12Alex Wood for the Giants.

03:13Kyle Gibson for the Rangers.

03:15Strike three called.

03:16And Wood goes down looking.

03:17No complaints.

03:18Two down for Mike Tauchman.

03:20Strike three called over the inside corner.

03:22And it's a one-two-three inning for Gibson and the Rangers.

03:25Now Nate low to the plate.

03:28His game.

03:28He goes to the opposite field with regularity.

03:31He's hit on the ground.

03:32Left side.

03:32Another opposite field hit for Nate.

03:34He slides in safely with a dribbling ground ball double that beats the shift yet again.

03:40So it brings up Adolis Garcia.

03:43On the ground but right to Longoria.

03:45He freezes the runner.

03:46A little low but Belt helped him out.

03:49So two down.

03:50And here comes the slugger Joey Gallo.

03:52Ground ball hit sharp to the Belt at first.

03:54He's got it on a tough hop.

03:55And runs it to the bank for the put out.

03:57Joey Gallo's gone on one pitch.

03:59One hit.

04:00Low stranded at second.

04:01Giants have not yet had a hit against Kyle Gibson who has been on quite a roll.

04:06Nine in a row retired by Gibson.

04:08Here comes Brandon Belt with two down and the base is empty.

04:11Now Belt swings and he drives one.

04:13Deep left center field.

04:14Way back there.

04:15Still going.

04:16Goodbye.

04:18A home run for Brandon Belt to the opposite field.

04:22The Giants get their first hit and their first run all at the same time.

04:28It's 1-0 Giants.

04:29Chris Davis leading it off with the Rangers.

04:31Davis a career 286 hitter against the Giants.

04:34This high in the air.

04:35Out to right field.

04:37Back to the wall.

04:38And that one is high off the fence.

04:41And he's in there with a triple.

04:42It's a big triple right after the Rangers gave up the first run of the game.

04:46Charlie, the one guy in the lineup today who's seen a little bit of Alex Wood

04:50and has handled him well over the years.

04:52This ball hit hard up the middle.

04:53Base hit and we are tied at one.

04:56Charlie Culberson with an RBI single and we're tied at one.

04:59The Rangers have just tied it up here at one in the fifth.

05:02But now on a hit off of Gibson's foot and a fluky hit into shallow left here.

05:09The Giants have minted first and second with nobody out for Steven Duggar.

05:12Swing and a ball hit back up the middle off the mound.

05:14And Izzy's got it.

05:15Steps on second for one.

05:16Throws to first to complete the double play.

05:19And that's the ideal result for Gibson and the Rangers.

05:23Wood, who's been immaculate with his control,

05:25has walked the last two batters and has done so on nine pitches.

05:30So a chance here for the Rangers.

05:32The big boppers coming up.

05:33Garcia and Gallo.

05:34Swing and a miss.

05:35He struck it out.

05:36Hard to throw it better than that in a strikeout situation.

05:39Jobs out finish.

05:40Joey Gallo with his monstrous power.

05:43Got him swinging.

05:43And a big fist bump from Alex Wood.

05:47And after the two walks, he strikes out the next two hitters.

05:51So here's Longoria.

05:52First and third, two down.

05:53The 0-1 pitch.

05:55Swing and a ball that's hit hard.

05:56But Kiner-Falefa up with it.

05:58He flips to Solak.

05:59So you've got Heim now, the switch hitter, batting right-handed.

06:02Wood's got it.

06:02He's going to throw it.

06:03Change up to second for one.

06:05Flores, though, adjusted nicely.

06:07He has it at second and throws to first for the double play.

06:11So the Giants cooking here in the bottom of the seventh.

06:13Two on, two outs.

06:15And Mauricio Dubon, the pinch hitter.

06:17Dubon lines one to left field.

06:18Davis is going to have to play it on a bounce.

06:20Here comes Slater around third.

06:22The throw coming home with nothing on it.

06:25Slater scores.

06:26And in to second on the throw, Mauricio Dubon,

06:31who comes through with one of his biggest hits in a Giants uniform.

06:36Two more in scoring position here for Yastrzemski.

06:39And bounce toward third, leaning in to play it on a backhand.

06:42Culberson is throw to first.

06:43And it kicks away from low.

06:46Ruff is in to score.

06:47An extra run for the Giants.

06:493-1.

06:50Jake McGee will try to get the final three outs for the Giants.

06:53And so now the tying runs are on base for the Rangers in the ninth inning.

06:58The batter is the veteran, Charlie Culberson.

07:02Popped up.

07:03Crawford and Longoria.

07:05It's Longoria.

07:06And the ball game is over.
