0:01
And for Ryan Pepio, the record a little
0:03
misleading. A five and six record, but
0:05
the ERA of 336. He has pitched much
0:09
better, especially over his last 12, 13
0:12
starts or so. At RA hovering right in
0:14
the mid twos, he's got an outstanding
0:16
whip. Does a good job of limiting base
0:18
runners. And that is strike three called
0:21
curve ball. And he mesmerized him with
0:24
that. Well, we said that Ryan Pepio was
0:26
going to be determined here. And he has
0:27
come out hot. There's the curve ball
0:29
right there. just locks up Clark. So one
0:31
off, one down. Tyler Solderstrom
0:35
down and third and it's scooped by
0:37
Taminero who regains his balance and
0:40
comes up with the throw to first for out
0:44
number two. I could not get my eyes to
0:46
the field. That ball was absolutely
0:47
slashed. Two outs. Brent Rooker up.
0:50
Brent's playing in the field today. One
0:52
from Pepio. A fly ball deep out to left
0:55
and Brent Rooker with a home run to give
0:58
the A's the lead in the first. One-
1:01
nothing as Rooker hit number 18. Little
1:05
poolside pop for Rook on display here
1:08
early in the first inning. Inside ball
1:11
four, second walk of the inning. Backto
1:13
back walks and it's two on with two out
1:15
and upsteps Austin wins. Swinging to
1:17
Messi struck him out and he followed up
1:19
with another change up. So maybe he
1:20
found it in time. Here's the man on the
1:22
mound this afternoon for the Green and
1:24
Golden. That's Mitch Spitz. Fifth start
1:26
of the season. Hitched his way back into
1:28
the starting rotation. Here's the pitch
1:32
and he went around. So, strikeout number
1:35
one for Spence. So, Brandon Laauo
1:38
strikes out. Two away. Yandi Diaz the
1:41
designated hitter. Strike three. It's on
1:45
the inside edge. Diaz has some words
1:47
with Adam Hamry. Spence picks up his
1:49
second strike out. Got a one two three
1:51
first. We're through an inning. The A's
1:53
lead the A's one to nothing. Now two
1:55
out. Base is empty and up comes Max
1:57
Schuman. Max Schuman gets it in the air
1:59
to left. He's still going at the track
2:01
by the wall. And Schuman has left the
2:04
building. His second home run of the
2:07
year. And it's two to nothing Athletics.
2:09
Now we saw four walks for Mitch Spence
2:11
in his last start against the Yankees.
2:13
There's a swing and miss as strikes out.
2:16
Three strikeouts here for Mitch Spence.
2:18
Little gyro slide piece. Two out, no one
2:21
on. Here is Jake Mangum. The only ray to
2:22
not get in yesterday. Mangum swings and
2:25
pops one up straightaway center field.
2:26
Hit well. Clark ranging back. Jumps up
2:29
and it's off the top of the wall in
2:31
play. Mangum going to third base.
2:33
Williams is going to wave him home. The
2:35
A's miss the relay man and it's an
2:37
inside the park home run for Jake
2:40
Mangum. The race first hit and the first
2:42
run. It's two to one A's. He got there
2:46
actually over jumped that ball on the
2:47
back side of the glove. The back side of
2:49
the wrist is where it hit. And when he
2:51
went down and the ball rolled away,
2:52
that's when Mangum kicked it into gear.
2:55
That was fun to watch. Yes, it was. Ryan
2:57
kind of searching to find his rhythm
2:59
today. 2-2 change up called strike
3:02
three. Well, whatever he did, he found
3:04
enough control and command of it to
3:06
throw an excellent change up to Curts
3:08
and get the second out here in the third
3:10
inning. That's going to be fair. Long
3:12
throw and a nice play. Cabinero deep
3:15
back of third. Just fair. Goes a strike
3:18
across to Aronda.
3:20
Just trying to find his grip and his
3:22
rhythm. The payoff.
3:24
That's going to be punched towards
3:26
short. Nice play. Walls. Got him. Boy,
3:29
that ball off the bat. You thought it
3:32
had a chance to get through. Walls
3:34
quickly moving to his left. Made a very
3:38
nice play. And look how he's able to
3:39
keep that body under control. spin, find
3:42
first base, and yes, get some
3:45
acknowledgement from Ryan Pepio. So,
3:46
it's 2-2
3:48
and he comes back and gets the strike
3:51
out of him out in front in a one, two,
3:53
three inning. One ball, two strikes.
3:55
Here's the pitch. Ground ball, short
3:57
stop, back hand, and ball got stuck in
4:01
hit. He could not get it out of the
4:03
glove. You're right. Stuck in the
4:05
webbing. How about that? What a break
4:07
for the Rays. I mean, that would have
4:08
been a tough play regardless. Here's the
4:10
one-two pitch. That's swung on a miss.
4:12
Down he goes. He gets him on a cut fast
4:15
ball at 88. So Aronda strikes out and
4:18
that is the fifth strike out for Spence.
4:21
And there is one out here in the fourth
4:23
inning. That's swung on, bounced left
4:24
side. Muny will scoop it up and go to
4:25
Schuman for one onto first. They get the
4:27
double play. Muny to Schuman to Sodstrom
4:31
and the inning is over. Now Denzel Clark
4:34
has struck out and walked for Pepio.
4:36
Clark bunts up the third baseline. It is
4:38
a beauty. Bare hand pick up by Commonro
4:40
and the throw to Furs. He got him at
4:41
first. That's a terrific play by
4:43
Commonro. No replay. Play goes 53. Boy,
4:47
that could have changed the entire
4:48
complexion of the inning had he not made
4:51
that play. And Clark runs so well, too.
4:54
Was that nicely done? Second time we've
4:56
had a little rainfall. Oh, he crowds him
4:59
and gets the swing and miss. Oh, cutting
5:02
in on the hands. Yeah, with good
5:04
velocity, too. I mean, he put that in a
5:06
perfect spot and Solderstone gets all
5:09
tied up. Two Bulls, two strikes. Rooker
5:11
swings and misses strike three. Rooker
5:14
is retired. Pepio gets his 6K. We'll see
5:17
if we can continue Mangum to lead it off
5:19
inside the park home run. His first
5:21
time. Mangum swings at the first pitch
5:23
and out towards the gap in left center.
5:27
Denzel Clark with the catch.
5:31
It's just comical at this point. A catch
5:34
a day. keeps the doctor away. Denzel.
5:38
Wow. Folks, this is just another example
5:40
of Denzel Clark out running a baseball.
5:43
I mean, that ball has no business being
5:45
caught. Top of the order. Josh Low leads
5:47
it off and a high shot back into center
5:51
field. Cuck's going to go to the wall.
5:53
He'll leap and that ball is off the top
5:56
of the wall. Gone. That's a home run.
6:00
Just over the wall in center field and
6:02
rebounded onto the field.
6:04
But a home run for Josh Low. And just
6:07
like that, this game is tied. And now
6:11
Brandon Laauo. And here's a shot to
6:14
right center field. Dexter base is
6:16
coming here. That bounced to the wall.
6:19
Brandon Laauo on his way to second. So
6:22
the Rays do indeed come out swinging for
6:25
the top of the order. Third time through
6:27
here. Yandi had that infield hit in the
6:30
fourth. And a shot to left. That baby is
6:33
going to get up and go. Home run off the
6:37
bat of Yandi Diaz.
6:39
A two- round blast and the Rays will
6:42
take the lead. Just like that, a quick
6:45
threerun six with nobody out. And the
6:49
Rays lead it 4-2. Hammond's at second
6:53
now with two outs for Chandler Simpson.
6:56
And he lifts it into right center field.
6:58
It's got a chance to drop. It will. And
7:01
here comes Cabinero in to score. Simpson
7:05
drops an RBI base hit into right field
7:08
and the Rays make it a five to2 ball
7:11
game. Not in time. A stolen base.
7:14
Chandler Simpson picking up number 23.
7:17
And now Matt Fice stands in. Ground ball
7:20
that's going to sneak through. Base hit
7:23
into center. Simpson's going to score.
7:26
Bice with an RBI
7:29
and the Raids make it a 6-2 ball game.
7:32
Or he struck out the side in the eighth.
7:33
He'll continue to work in the ninth.
7:35
It's Max Austin wins and Gio Urchella do
7:38
up delivers of the pitch that swung on a
7:40
fly ball to left it pretty well going
7:41
back for it as Mang Maxy has hit a home
7:44
run and it's now six to three. So Muny
7:47
goes deep and Maxy starting to get hot.
7:50
Basing Roelle run around second. Nobody
7:52
out. Here's the pitch that's swung on.
7:55
Hit into left center. It's going to fall
7:56
in for a base hit. Rounding third is
7:59
wins. The throw to the plate is offline.
8:01
He scores and the A's now trail six to
8:04
four. But they're going to allow USA to
8:06
pitch to Soderstrom here. Base is
8:08
loaded. One out. And the pitch is SW. A
8:11
little chopper up the first base line.
8:13
It's fielded by the first baseman
8:15
Arandas. No play. Everybody's safe. A
8:17
run scores. It's six to five. Scores.
8:20
Schuman to third. Butler to second. And
8:23
it's now a 65 ball game. And here's
8:26
Rooker and he gets it. Big strike out
8:29
there on the fast ball. Two gone. One
8:33
out to get, but it is Nick Kurts who has
8:35
struck out three times today. He's also
8:37
walked. He's 0 for nine in the series,
8:39
but a base hit would put the A's in
8:41
front. 3-2
8:43
and he got him. It's all over. A strike
8:46
out to end it. And what a finish this
8:48
one turned out. Praise win it. They hold
8:51
on and win it 65.
