finds himself going head to head. there's the defense with rojas, berti and cooper on that right side. >> chipper: look at those shadows, boog. this is when it gets tough. the pitcher is in the sunlight. you see the ball come out of his fingertips in the sunlight. it immediately goes into the shadow. makes it really tough to pick up rotation. that's why you might see a couple guys flinch on pitches close. >> jon: in there for a strike. now it's 3-2. popped in the air. left field. rojas fighting the shadows and the wind and he makes the grab.

yesterday the al got started. today the nl. eight games, eight playoff games for the first time. our post-season bracket coming up tonight, you got cardinals/padres, brewers and dodgers. it's gone final in 13. the braves, freddie freeman, they walk it off in 13. how many times the braves strike out today? >> chipper: 21 strike outs. >> jon: wow. >> chipper: i want to know the last time somebody has won a playoff game striking out 21 times. 2020. >> jon: i'm going to say never. that's another one, though, thao rmally rreles rsed the majorsstke-out rate. they s highest rcentagef b

that's one of those things -- you always say power pitching in the post-season. the reds have it. today they came up a run short. >> chipper: they struck out 16 times themselves. bauer and max freed werherea wee advertised. the bullpens deserve credit as well. >> jon: bryant fouls one back. the marlins back in the playoffs for the first time since 2003. two of the longest droughts active were ended with the padres and the marlins. the longest that remains is the mariners. the marlins haven't been since '03 when they won it all. 2-2. marlins won it all that year led by your new bff mike

>> chipper: i don't know, buddy. they had some pretty good pitching that year. when you're talking about the becketts and pennies and burnetts and willis, they were dealing. >> jon: i think mikey hit for power that year. that was his highest. take a look. what do you think? >> chipper: just off. just off. that does not get a piece of cheese i don't think. >> jon: he had 32 that year. got him looking! nice job to ring him up. bryant is gone. back to the studio. >> the stakes will kill you in the post-season. ask the jays. an error kept things alive in

the second. hunter renfroe makes them pay. 7-1 rays, top of the third. >> jon: wow, wow.here's m pinlya marlins leading 5-1. the blue jays have the task of trying to come maybin gets a piece against

tyler glassnow. >> chipper: the rays startinghi o t chaye.gog to be rllball. >> jon: foul tip into the mitt of wallach. the marlins lead 5-1.

on sunday. a center fielder hit in the head by clark schmidt. suffered a contusion to r. thankful for that helmet that went spinning off.oday he's gote hits. scored a run. anchored that defense in center field. dan winkler delivers the first pitch of the inning. 18 appearances, 2.95 the e.r.a. just about a strike out per inning. the walk rate a little high. look out. got him on the hand. ouch. he's in some pain.

that is not good. >> chipper: this is what pitchers have been trying t rigt there. it's not that hard to break that bone. when you talk about him leading with the hands right here and gets it on the bottom part, that is your fifth metacarpal that takes the brunt. looked like he might have taken the hand off the bat, anticipating getting hit which quite honestly could save him. he's going to need some x-rays though. >> jon: rojas asked him if he's okay.

marte coming out as he gets plunk plunked. that would be a huge loss. >> chipper: really would. as we said earlier, he's been a great pick up for the marlins. he throws up good at-bat after good at-bat. great influence in the clubhouse. that thing looks like it's swelling up pretty good. hopefully it's not broken. >> jon: mondte harrison is at first. he's running for him.

that one clips the outside corner. harrison the runner at first. aguilar unhappy with pat holberg. i think he got that one right. >> chipper: he's been unhappy about a couple of them and not been shy about letting him know about it. i'm pretty sure both of them were strikes. >> jon: yep. off the outside edge. now 1-1. aguilar with a big hit to add two more to thes'al in the seventh inning.

monte harrison at first. runs well. nobody out. foul tipped into the mitt of contreras. marlins leading 5-1 thanks to a pair of homers in the seventh. jon sciambi, chipper jones, thanks for joining us. we'll be with you again on abc tomorrow. same two darvish and sixto the 1-2 cut on and missed. snap one away. we take a look at stat cast

powered by google cloud. jesus aguilar able to get one out just below the tribune sign. 35 degrees on the launch angle. the exit velocity just under 98. for jesus aguilar who hit eight during the regular year, that was big. if you wonder -- chipper, we touched on this -- why there's so much emphasis in terms of exit velocity, process. do it this way, i understand the idea that a hit is a hit. if you think about trying to hit it hard, if you hit the ball 95 or above this year, you hit over .500. if you just stay in the process of hit it hard, hit it hard, if you hit 95 and above all the time, you're going to end up on

the right side. .5 .510 >> chipper: .510 is pretty good. i'll take that. >> jon: more of that analysis from chipper jones coming up. the old broadcasting school paying off. >> chipper: he's not the best color man in the league for nothing. >> jon: 1-0. check swing. did he go? yes, he did say, will little. >> chipper: brian anderson looks baffled. >> jon: little bit. >> chipper: he's had a rough day. he's 0-4 with three strike outs. i don't think he's too happy with that call and the check swing.

>> jon: the 1-1 outside. >> chipper: looking at dan winkler, the stuff has never been the question for dan. even when he was in atlanta, it was too erratic. too many walks. too many noncompetitive pitches. you're seeing him here and the stuff is electric. >> jon: 2-1 now. swing and a miss. >> chipper: the consistency remains a struggle. >> jon: one out, man at first. marlins leading 5-1 with anderson at the plate. one of the five guys that stayed on the active roster all year along with aguilar, lopez, and kintzler. kintzler up and loosening and likely to come in and finish this one.

pretty amazing when you think about 174 roster moves. mike hill president of baseball jeter,on matting their errick manager. they had to deal with a lot. there's no training for a pandemic. 18 positive covid tests. they used 61 players. you'll see at times 35 and 27. the reason it doesn't add up to 61 is because logan forsythe pitched and he made his debut. one guy was in both categories. if you're interested and checking my math at home. >> chipper: really is amazing the way they've been able to

build up the depth in this organization and overcome all those early seasondtribulions. he to be in this amazing tolaye them contribute to this team, not only being a game or two over .500, but making the playoffs. >> jon: anderson center field. happ going back and makes the catch dealing with the sun. >> jon: i can't help it by the way, that commercial we just heard, hair by hugo, the

marlins' barber is named hugo.a. >> chipper: he's cut my hair more than a few times. everyone looks forward to going to miami so hugo can give you a little trim. >> jon: he's way cooler than going hair by hugo. juice is what they call him. back in the day, at pro player dolphin stadium he had a place. then they gave him a room. you have to go in there and sign the wall and everything at marlins park. that one outside. >> chipper: that's not a room, buddy. that's a parlor. >> jon: good point. >> chipper: that's a barber shop. he might as well have the little red, white and blue swirly thing

outside the door. >> jon: technical term, red, white and blue swirly thing. thu. pole. hu cutting hair. his son willie does too. this is what you're tuning in for. that's on the corner for a strike. obviously this marlins organization, hugo is a guy that was really tight with jose fernandez. the marlins clinched the playoffs four years to the day of his passing. pretty incredible. cooper hanging in there. marlins have delivered good at-bat tos today.

hung around and two big swings. one by dickerson in the seventh has been getting in the loose. >> chipper: speaking of fernandez, can you imagine this rotation if he was in it? >> jon: he was one of the best strike o strike-out pitchers we've ever seen. >> chipper: every fifth day he was must-see tv. when he took the mound, >>onswing and a miss. winkler gets cooper. that's the inning. we go to the bottom of the ninth. last chance for the cubs. it's 5-1.

when i came to the u.s., my family was really poor.d. now, i've got fifty employees. when the pandemic hit, i was really scared about losing my business. but osmar, my financial advisor from northwestern mutual, he told me, brother we got your back. his financial planning helped to save my business. if i could talk to my younger self, i would say, you're going to be proud of yourself. has a stronger signal and faster speeds. it's not just fast - it's super fast.

you put it in the right spot like that right there -- wow. >> jon: contreras racing for second. there's the throw. he's in. it's a double.

wow, that was well-placed. >> chipper: as i was saying, you get weak contact to the right side, but this ball has eyes. this is right off the first. what a good pitch boring in on the right hander. he squeezes it on the line. that's a beautiful thing as a hitter. >> jon: first runner in scoring position for the cubs since the fourth inning. here's jason heyward. chipper, that picture that jesse showed us of kintzler in the hotel, i can't even imagine. we sit here and do the ha ha that's funny. no, that's how he got his work in. legit. that's how he was trying to stay sharp.

they had guys putting sanitary socks and throwing the ball into the socks so they could simulate throwing in the hotel. rojas pulls that down. one away. here's caleb smith. check this out. the ball is in the sock so it won't come out. watch. he's throwing it full. regular effort. that's what they had to do. >> chipper: hey, these guys are serious about their jobs. they need to stay in shape. they're confident that the season is going to continue. you can't take a week, ten days, two weeks off and not throw. i saw a similar post by jack flaherty on social media where he had his mattress pressed against the wall. he threw into that mattress.

that was how they stayed in shape. >> jon: by the way, chipper, just an update on our breaking information, hugo actually texted me to let me know he does have a barber's pole outside of the shop at marlins park. >> chipper: i've been out of the loop for a little while, boog. >> jon: outside and it's 1-2. kintzler trying to record the final two outs and give the marlins a 1-0 lead in this best of three.

>> chipper: boog, how about this shadowwise? you have the pitcher in the shadow. halfway in between homeplate and the pitcher's mound you have sun. it's almost like a blink. it's really tough to hit in these conditions in this particular ballpark. >> jon: wow, look at that. no fans. it's like a scrimmage. the only thing -- you know what it remind me of?of?of? going to old busch stadium. they finished games and the high school teams would come out. the stadium would be empty and they were playing games on the field. >> chipper: what a thrill for

those kids. that would be awesome. we used to play our state championship games down at the boardwalk in haines city, florida. >> jon: great pitch. two-seamer, baez wrung up. >> chipper: here's excellent execution by a pitcher. see that movement to the outside corner. that's impressive. >> jon: mlb celebrates hispanic heritage month by recognizing the players to our hey, there's the former red sox

player talking to anthony rizzo. this is still a dangerous cubs team. they have one of the best in the team starting tomorrow. the marlins guy doesn't take a back seat. there he is. yu darvish. he's been sensational this year. he'll be tasked to save their season. >> chipper: got the good flow working too. >> jon: there he is. gotta put it behind the ear. in the air and this could do it.

berti, do they see it?do marte makes the catch. i should say harrison makes the catch. that is that. the marlins have won game one. anthony rizzo and the cubs a game from elimination. 5-1 the final score. thanks to our entire outstanding crew here in bristol. appreciate all you for tuning in. we'll be back on abc tomorrow at 2:00 eastern. sixto sanchez and yu darvish. for chipper jones, i'm boog sciambi saying so long. the fighting marlins at it again. they win game one, 5-1.

with. as a result, a red flag warning for high fire danger will be in effect from 1:00 p.m. tomorrow to 6:00 p.m. friday for most of the hills and higher elevations of the north bay. that means fires can spread quickly under these conditions. i'll continue to update you as the information develops. kristen? >> spencer, thanks so much. thousands of people remain under evacuation orders in napa and sonoma counties. many are anxious to get back to their properties. abc7's amy hollyfield has more. >> reporter: this time it's in deer park road and st. helena. nearby roads were saved because of a san jose strike team that just arrived on the glass fire yesterday. they were pulled from the creek fire in fresno county to fight the glass fire in napa county, and within the san jose

strike team found itself in an intense fight to save this home on deer creek road and to protect four other homes in the area. >> a lot of homes could have been lost, but the san jose fire department did an incredible job of saving that home and preventing the fire from spreading to the other homes. >> reporter: they put some good protective measures in place. >> good clearance around the home, moving fuel away from their home, making sure they had good water supply and proper access for our fire engines. >> reporter: the glass fire still going strong in the wine country. fire teams still didn't make any progress on containing it, with containment holding at 2%. this line of cars shows the anxiousness of evacuees. these are all people try to get past thehepo highway 29 and deer park road. >> just to walk the property,

free the mass as they reopen at 25% of the church's community or 100 or fewer. >> we have safety protocols being followed by catholic churches all throughout the united states. we've studied them, studied the effects. they're very effective. >> reporter: the archbishop says the right to the religious are still being stifled. he said just compare malls at 50% and churches at 25%. even more of a problem, the blanket 100-person cap not taking into account large church venues. >> nobody has given me a scientific reason of why there has to be 100 as a cap. that's less than a fourth percent of the capacity. >> for reference. st. mary's can seat up to 2,500.

singing and choirs will not be allowed. they're split on whether larger services should be allowed. >> i trust if the cdc believes it's okay, i trust them and i trust our state government to figure it out. >> in shopping malls people are a little further apart than they would be in a church. in a church, you're packed in. >> the archbishop says the fight is not over yet. >> reporter: the archbishop said he's not sure of the next steps but 35,000 have signed the free the mass petition showing folks are eager and ready to get back to church services indoor. reporting live in san francisco, julian glover, abc news. in east bay, restaurants and elsewhere have been given the clear. they're allowed to reopen in contra costa county. restaurants can open. gyms at 10% capacity.
