>> dave: he got the call on the outside on that one. >> jon: tommy la stella has struck out, walked, hit a flyball to center. he hit one really well but it was caught by starling marte. giants need base runners now, down by three. harrison from right field, out number two. mets have a run home meanwhile, down in l.a. in the eighth inning. dodgers lead it 3-2 over the mets. mets are still batting in the last of the eighth inning having knocked walker buehler out of the game down there. so they got a tight one going in l.a. as well. dodgers have won seven in a row.

two down. nobody on. here is his old battery mate, romo facing buster posey. that back door two-seamer right on the corner at the knees. it's 0-1. sergio romo, your old teammate and old bullpen teammate. he talks a lot about you, the effect you had on him. >> javier: he should. ha. no. c'mon. i love all of these guys. every time i share a bullpen with some special team, petit and romo. >> jon: you were the veterans and he was the young guy. he said he learned valuable life lessons. >> javier: this dude is 38 now. . 38! >> jon: he is over the heart of the plate with that one and buster fouled it back.

>> javier: no signs of slowing down. throwing great. >> jon: his stuff looks the same now as ten years ago. >> javier: closing in on 38. a big number for a reliever. >> jon: he's had quite a career. back in the bay area on the other side of the bay now. all for a guy who grew up a dodger fan. two down. nobody on. posey has hit a soft liner to short and walked and flied out to right. base hit. now another romo teammate. romo fan in a giants uniform.

>> javier: he gets a slider. buster hits it and romo waves him off. man, i can't get this guy out. he is running down the first base and takes a peek at him and shakes him off. forget that guy. he knows it. >> jon: buster has three hits in his four career at-bats against him. here is brandon belt. >> javier: he hasn't thrown the change-up yet but here we go. >> jon: a lot of movement on that one. way outside. ball one. belt has flied out to left and walked and flied out to shallow right center. giants down by three. they have got the overshift on for belt. belt unhappy he didn't hit that the way he thought you should. canha with the catch and inning is over.

dear ms, from day one you've tried to define me. but i never invited you in. it's my life and this is my journey. i've found a way to do things differently with ocrevus, an infusion treatment that's 2-times-a-year. for adults with relapsing or primary progressive forms of multiple sclerosis, ocrevus is proven effective in reducing relapses in rms and slowing disability progression in rms and ppms. don't take ocrevus if you've had a life-threatening allergic reaction to it, or have hepatitis b.

tell your doctor about vaccinations or if you've had hep b, as it could come back. a common side effect of ocrevus is infusion reactions, and some may require hospitalization. it can increase your risk of infections, which can be serious, and may decrease certain types of immunoglobulins. while pml was not reported in clinical trials, it could happen. an increased risk of cancer, including breast cancer, may exist. sorry, ms. you don't get to control every part of me ms can't own us. ask your doctor about two-times-a-year ocrevus. >> jon: oakland with a 4-1 lead over the giants. we move to the last half of the eighth inning. each team not a whole lot of hits. oakland two run single by harrison in the fourth inning and two more in the seventh including one that was just stolen by starling marte who knocked in the other of those

two runs. one thing that was in common, those two two-run rallies, each rally started with a walk, a lead-off walk and athletics made the giants pay for that's indiscretions. here is jed lowrie to lead off against jose alvarez. alex wood was the starter for the giants. he went five. gave up two runs, five hits. had nine strikeouts. toward the middle. crawford gets to it and the hurry throw. he got him. he makes it look so easy. >> javier: nice and smooth. typical crawford play. shuffles over and a side sling with something on it. never get tired of looking at it. maybe jed lowrie does because he has to go back. >> jon: lowrie thought he had a base hit. oh, that guy!

>> javier: yeah, that guy is there. >> jon: yan gomes, former washington national. brought some attitude to the coliseum. 0-1. that was a phrase that was in vogue especially when they won the world series a couple of years ago at washington national park in washington, d.c. gomes got a infield hit in the second and hit a double, really helped create that two-run fourth inning run.

former marlin marte drove in a run and stole a run himself. gomgs with a pop fly. lamontewade jr. two down.

those are the trade deadline acquisitions no washington. and center fielder from miami. giants thought they were done with all of those guys.

>> jon: 3-1. josh harrison is on deck. there is bryant who will lead off in the ninth inning. then crawford and then dickerson, the dh. walk. well, giants are a team that walk a lot but also a team that does not give up many walks. >> javier: especially that bullpen. they have done a great job. throwing the ball over the plate. they have struggled just a few times tonight, but, overall, the whole season, they have been doing a good job out of the bullpen. >> jon: oakland is another team that gets a lot of walks. ability to get walks, ninth in the majors and giants eighth. harrison to crawford.

crawford to la stella to force-out chapman to ends the inning. giants need three to stay alive. the closer is coming up for oakland trivino. homelessness, housing, taxes, water, electricity, crime, wildfires. [sfx: bear roar] gavin, you've failed. we have to immediately cut taxes twenty-five percent. fix housing and homelessness. and make life in california affordable again. i'm a businessman, the only cpa running. shouldn't we choose ability this time?

last chance for the giants. top of the ninth. they trail 4-1 to the athletics at the coliseum. lou trivino has come in, the closer. >> javier: 55 time. 20 saves and 22 opportunities. he is perfect for his last 13. he has given up three earned runs during that time in 31 innings pitched. giants need to be ready and get runners on base.

>> jon: curveball to a strike to kris bryant. lined out and grounded out tonight. elvis andrus throws over to first. hard times the last couple of games here for bryant after he had that two home run game against the mets on monday night, he sat out a game, an issue with a hamstring. they thought they would be better off giving him a day off to try to get past that. then he went 0 for 5 in the extra inning game on wednesday game. now 0 for 4 tonight. that on the heels of a two home run game. here is brandon crawford. he has hit a bloop single,

walked, and bounced one to the pitcher. ball one, way inside and low toward his feet. we are in the ninth inning now in l.a. dodgers ahead of the mets 3-2. a long run for chapman who was at shortstop and now in the bullpen area for the catch. two outs. he's a great defensive third baseman. i guess a great defensive shortstop if he played there more often. >> javier: look at the amount of ground he had to cover right here. like his high school teammate, nolan arenado, just read it perfectly and great break, under control. backhand stab. got it!

real good player. real good player. >> jon: it's hard to believe that the two of them, two of the premier defensive third baseman in the game went to high school together. strike one to dickerson who got a base hit in the second but since then, has grounded into a double play and struck out. two down in the ninth. oakland athletics with a 4-1 lead over the giants. flare into left. it falls. base hit. second hit for dickerson. >> javier: a reach-back heater. almost left field the label of the bat. put enough to muscle it out into left. they are playing deep out there in left field. canha hustles in and unable to get there. for the giants, you just hope to

kind of keep the line moving and try to get to yastrzemski who had a great at-bat. >> jon: they need one more base runner to send the possible tying runner to the plate and that would be yastrzemski, if they can get to him. wilmer flied out deep to center and struck out and flied out to right. foul out of play off the first base side. matt olson playing behind the runner at first, not on the bag with him with the second baseman harrison behind second. outfield is deep for wilmer. curveball in the dirt. 1-1 to wilmer flores.

ray fosse who is battling cancer -- a rip at that high fastball right back to the screen. 1-2 the count. we send our thoughts and our prayers to ray fosse who was the oakland catcher when i broke in as a broadcaster in 1974. >> javier: absolutely. he is a legend out here. >> jon: and he was a great catcher. giants down to their final strike. trivino with dickerson at first. to short. to second. andrus to harrison and the ball game is over. athletics take game one from the giants. 4-1 at the coliseum.

i guess the part that will stick with the giants and make it a little tougher to sleep tonight is that the oakland star kaprielian looked gettable in this game. >> javier: they put him in stress innings and second inning he threw a bunch and got a couple of runners on. brandon crawford followed by dickerson, a flare. third inning he walks the bases loaded. kris bryant gets the fastball he is looking for. just hits a rocket but he hits it right at marte. tough night all around. five hits. tough to score when you only get five hits. >> jon: 4-1, athletics take game one from the giants. we will have more. giants in oakland. more after this.

you doing okay with those new spicy tiny tacos, jack? yeah, it's funny some of those people you see, they... they can't handle it at all right? no, they can't. that's not you. that's not me. no. try my new spicy tiny tacos starting at $3.50. >> jon: they are getting ready for a fireworks extravaganza after the ball game. athletics beating the giants 4-1. both teams i'm sure felt like they needed a win tonight. the athletics were the team that got the win. i'm jon miller along with javier lopez at oracle park in san francisco where we watched this

game unfold. javier, this oakland team, one thing for sure. when they get into the late innings with a lead, they feel very confident that that bullpen is going to take them home. >> javier: definitely. we saw the pieces they put on the black and orange with petit able to come in and get a couple of outs and romo with the slider. trivino is one of the better closers in the league and tough to score. when you give up runs late in the ball game it's tough to catch up with the a's. >> jon: the big hit was with runners at second and third, one out from one of the newcomers josh harrison. >> javier: he didn't waste any time. it was first pitch breaking ball in. that whole inning started with a walk there to jed lowrie. he was able to work a walk. that big swing right there by josh harrison who has just been a giant killer in 2021 like you mentioned with the nationals and talked what he did in that series in washington. he has not stopped. >> jon: gomes hit a double to

set up and harrison came from washington and later it was starling marte who took over the game and single handedly delivered a couple of runs in the eighth. we will have more. stay with us.

it's a wishlist on wheels. a choice that requires no explanation. it's where safe and daring seamlessly intersect. it's understated, yet over-delivers. it is truly the mercedes-benz of sports sedans. the 2021 c-class. starting at $41,600.

>> jon: it was oakland 4, giants 1. dodgers held on to beat the mets 3-2 in l.a. giants lead is now at 1 1/2 games with this series continuing tomorrow and kevin gausman, the giants top winner, up against sean manaea. >> javier: the race is getting tight. giants know that. they are not looking over theirs shoulder at l.a. one of those things. sean manaea 123rd start for the a's. july and august he has given up ten home runs in 41 innings. the giants need to get hot. no better guy to give up a couple of balls than sean

manaea. >> jon: tune into nbc sports bay area for the pregame at 12:30. we will be back with you next friday at 4:00 p.m. for the giants and the braves from atlanta. i'm jon miller, for dave flemming and javier lopez, 4-1 the final score, athletics over the giants.
