00:00Pirates a chance to sweep the team that had the best record in baseball coming

00:05in Monday night the Pirates send lefty Bailey Falter to the hill trying to

00:10rebound from a couple of rough starts ball to start through the all-star Torres

00:18good way to begin the game for Bailey Falter that one stays fair he has that

00:28metronome inside his head knows just how much time he needs swing and a miss

00:32and so Perez strikes out one two three four Falter Tigers today will send Troy

00:38Melton to the mound and this is always exciting Dan but I think especially

00:41exciting because Troy Melton was an A ball last year he's worked his way to the

00:45major leagues because of how well he's pitched with the power arms can't wait to

00:50live through him and share this excitement today with Troy Melton his

00:54family came all the way from Southern California sisters here his mom

00:58and dad Charles and Tracy Melton sister Christina as well as this is a line

01:03drive right at Javi Baez that is I would venture to say the best shortstop he's

01:10played in front of in his career yep and one away Javi claims the first out of Troy

01:16Melton's career you want to get that first big league hitter out yes it was hit

01:21hard right at Javi who made a nice play but now you can kind of settle in and let

01:24the game come to you that struck well deep center field for McCutcheon and he

01:30hits it out of here home run for Andrew McCutcheon what a rude greeting by one of

01:37the greats Troy Melton won't forget that anytime soon 1-0 Pirates and just get some of

01:42those firsts out of the way quickly you got to get your first out you got to give

01:45you're going to give up a homer at some point get it out of the way early here's

01:48Matt Bierling one two pitch fly ball to center Cruz is back that's hit well to

01:54the wall and at the wall Cruz jumps up and makes the catch he still had no good

02:01two strides before he reached the ball but he thought it was closer and so he

02:06kind of jumped up ready to bang up against the wall but makes the grab here with a

02:13slider away another one two three inning for Bailey Falter second walk of the

02:20inning and now loaded up for Kiner Falefa and this is a moment where he's a rookie

02:25pitcher making his major league debut you see it so often don't know if he's

02:29rattled or not this is where you just got to lock in you've got to go after

02:32Melton on Owen to cold strike three his first major league strikeout on a

02:41breaking ball on the inside corner that was the entire menu of stuff from

02:48Melton you're not out of it now he faces Spencer Horowitz bases loaded a big swing

02:52to break it open keep bowing your neck really make some pitches there's a drive

02:57to right center field deep to the wall clear the deck cannonball coming Spencer

03:05Horowitz grand salami time his third pirate homer you talk about a game

03:13changing at bat Spencer for hire he's got to jump right back on the pony and keep

03:19going especially with no off day until next Thursday like he's gonna have to get

03:23out here and get through some innings bucks up five zip on the Tigers Troy

03:27Melton the rookie pitcher his major league debut he's given up a pair of home

03:32runs Reynolds over to 30s there with one out in a five nothing game O'Neal

03:36Cruz the infield comes in one two pitch and a fly ball to center field plenty deep

03:42to score a run it'll be a sacrifice fly as Meadows makes the catch ribby for

03:46Cruz Reynolds coasts home Pirates lead six nothing in the third inning

03:52Lever Torres faces Bailey Falter into the opposite field jump by Brian Reynolds a

04:01little extra loft in your step when your pitcher hasn't allowed anything yet I like

04:04the way he caught this to look like a strike

04:07Billy Falter retires the first eleven batters of this game the most to start

04:16his career that is a line drive to left and a base hit so the first base runner the

04:23first hit today for the Tigers is Wenzel Perez here is torque high pop

04:29foul territory he's a notable guy from Taylor Alderdice Spencer Horowitz will

04:34make the catch hearts at first with one out six nothing Pittsburgh we're in the

04:37fourth inning Isaiah Kiner-Falefa at the plate Melton in his major league

04:41debut gets a swing and a miss that is strike three on a breaking ball strikeout

04:48number three for Melton it would be close check swing and a breaking ball down that

04:53was the splitter Horowitz went too far on the check swing on the appeal to third

04:57C.B. Buckner rings up the hottest hitter going right now for the Pittsburgh

05:01Pirates and Matt Bierling leads off against Bailey Falter there's a swing and a

05:06miss and a high fastball the strikeout base hit for McKinstry with one out in the

05:11fifth Dylan Dingler the 0-2 pitch called third strike inside corner to Dylan

05:16Dingler second K of the inning five on the day for Falter runner goes from first

05:22pitches grounded to short backhand play Kiner-Falefa throws on to first gets

05:26Baez and that's five shutout innings for Bailey Falter strikeout number six for

05:33Melton who has each of his last four outs have been recorded via the strikeout

05:38there's Monio Cruz who's single to hit a sacrifice fly that's going to get through

05:43and it turns the bag heads to third Cruz is two for two today just love him to get

05:52through this innings that'd be big absolutely let him get through five and just keep the

05:56score right here and just leave like hey you know leave with two shutout innings

06:02fam hopes to put a punctuation mark on it

06:06Cruz taken off and he's got another stolen base a second today

06:09trying to get in scoring position with two outs

06:11now baseball's leader again 33 steals for Cruz that's a good finish for Troy Melton

06:17maybe some frustration of way it started but I think he's going to take out of this game a strong

06:24finish over his last three innings Parker Meadows leads off sixth inning there's a swing and a miss

06:30closer to home plate than most pitchers and that is six K's for Bailey Falter two outs here and he

06:38pops this ball up now territory room for Spencer Horowitz as he approaches the netting makes the catch

06:45one two three for Bailey Falter blanking the Tigers going to the bottom of the sixth inning six

06:57whence Hill Perez is at the plate singled in the fourth here's the oh two called third strike

07:04seven K's and that was right down the money his longest outing of his major league career is seven and two

07:26off the backhand side reynolds he'll keep him to a single but there's run number one for the tigers
