9:30 pm
for the season for albies. 0-2 the count to arcia. w is th man of that atlanta batting order on deck. ohh, that could have been called strike three. 1-2. solano at 2nd, shaded towards the middle. to third. longoria. pederson holding at second. two down.
9:31 pm
here is freddie freeman. braves have a left hander tyler heating up in their bullpen. freddie freeman had two singles, grounded out to third and grounded out to the shortstop since then. he's 2 for 4. right at the knees. called a ball. >> mike: unbelievable. mentioned if the ball's not between the knees of the catcher you just don't get it with gabe morales. that was a strike.
9:32 pm
accept the wide target because didn't go between the knees, they didn't get if. it. >> jon: 2-0. first base is empty. but you got a very dangerous right-hander on deck. there's matzek, number 68 getting ready in the bullpen. two down. pederson who started the inning at second is still there. left center field. hit deep. way back there and caught by duggar! he kept going and going and going and hauled it in. thanks to steven duggar patrolling center field. >> mike: well, he had a great jump, perfect route, and puts it right in the sweet spot. >> jon: belt, posey, slater, due up.
9:33 pm
9:34 pm
back to the ballpark, jon miller and mike krukow, giants and braves. see you after the game. >> jon: giants, 5. atlanta, 5. last of the 10th inning as donovan solano had his visit with ron wotus because he is the automatic runner at second base. >> mike: you see the numbers for tyler matzek 56th time hard
9:35 pm
thrower 71 strikeouts 33 walks, two-pitch guy. you will see a high 90. sometimes even a 100 miles an hour with a hard slider. but fastball about 35% of the time. to both righties and lefties. >> jon: now solano, you might be asking, he didn't make the last out, he hit a home run. and it's either the guy who made the last out who is the automatic runner or if it's going to be the pitcher than you move one back and use that guy. and that guy is solano. so here's belt to try to get him home. threw that one pretty hard. now matzek , one thing about him. he's a good choice for the braves., one thing about him. he's a good choice for the braves. inherited 26 base runners and only allowed two to score. he has the highest strand rate in major league baseball.
9:36 pm
back. into the second deck. strike two. belt launched a home run his first at-bat of the night to tie the game. he's gone 0 for 2 with a walk since then. >> mike: you come into this format in extra innings runner at second base, no out, it's a strikeout situation, you want a strikeout guy and matzek is that guy. >> jon: buster posey on deck. a little bit low. >> mike: three pitches, three fastballs. >> jon: there's buster. waiting his turn. slater due u
9:37 pm
they've got three infielders to the right, nobody at shortstop for atlanta. solano number 7, belt trying to knock him in. that's a slider. way off the outside. and a save there by d'arnaud. it's 2-2. >> mike: at that velocity you see nothing but fastball, high 90s and finally see the first slider in a two-strike count and that was a good pitch. a very, very tough take. where belt live see another one. >> jon: two balls, two strikes. goes back to the fastball. he wants the strikeout, as you said, mike. he got the strikeout. at 97 miles an hour.
9:38 pm
>> mike: just reared back and go country-hard balling. not a lot of finesse in that fastball. but he gets the job done. >> jon: and they give posey the automatic walk. so he is out there along with the automatic runner at second, to set up the double play possibility. and bring austin slater to the plate. slater entered this game as a pinch-hitter in the 8th inning and he hit a double. so that's two pinch-hit doubles and one pinch-hit home run tonight.
9:39 pm
hit softly. albies gets one at second and no throw to first by daniels. swanson will quickly look around and see where solano was at third. so now first and third. with kris bryant coming up. they give bryant the automatic walk to load the bases. they want matzek facing the lefties not the righties. >> mike: now 35 walks.
9:40 pm
if you have a runner at third base. if you are donovan solano be ready for a ball in the dirt and a ball that gets by d'arnaud. >> jon: so this is risky to load the bases with a guy who doesn't always know where the ball's going. >> mike: it really is. but he's not liking facing the righties he wants to take on the lefties. >> jon: crawford homered to left center, doubled, struck out, hit a fly ball to right. that's too high. and the outside, 96. the right fielder is nowhere near the right field line. he's in triples alley. even though just a single is what would end this game.
9:41 pm
ball two. a little bit off the corner. and now that puts the heat on matzek. he needs a strike. >> mike: well, crawford knows it. he's going to sit on it, looking for a fastball, middle away or middle in, his presence. -- his preference. >> jon: everybody's standing at oracle park. high fastball. he got it by him. crawford is a -- had a walk off hit against the rockies three years ago, one of six in his career. time taken.
9:42 pm
>> jon: back to the screen. had a pretty good rip at that high fastball. >> mike: that's just country hard balling. that's a guy that knows he throws hard. he knows he snaps on top of the strike zone and he's just rearing back. he's not thinking about knee-high, inside, outside, he's just blowing cheese. >> jon: he doesn't want to go to 3-2 either, a guy who walks as many as he has. >> mike: he does not. >> jon: he has gone to 3-2. just a little bit inside.
9:43 pm
>> mike: if they set that target on the inside corner they might have gotten it but they set the target away. you don't get pitches that are away from the catcher's knees. matzek did not want to go to that three-ball count. >> jon: if he misses the strike zone again, the giants win. ball four. brings home the winning run. to shortstop. swanson. inning over. matzek got through it. and we move on to the 11th inning. freddie freeman will be the automatic runner. we'll see who the giants pitcher will be.
9:44 pm
9:45 pm
>> jon: on to the 11th inning now at oracle park. giants, 5. atlanta, 5. and for the braves the heart of the order will be coming up with freddie freeman being the automatic runner at second and young camilo doval comes on. as the giants try and keep the braves from getting that runner home. >> mike: very interesting match up, right off the get go, you got a guy who is a fastball, great fastball taking on a guy who is a great
9:46 pm
fastball hitter. and just like we saw with matzek with runner at second base, nobody out, it is a strikeout situation for doval or for doval against duvall. go figure. >> jon: and first riley. so they've got a couple of their top rbi-men coming up here, riley and then adam duvall who is not just their top rbi guy, he leads the national league in runs batted in. riley's had two singles. he's the one who got the 9th inning rally started, first ball swinging and he got a base hit. >> jon: fastball, in there at 98, for a called strike. man, the education of camilo doval, things are happening in a hurry, aren't they. >> mike: well, his last outing,
9:47 pm
went to the heart of the lineup, had a really great inning, he's elevated the ladder quickly. >> jon: longoria knocks it down, picks it up. out! at first. holding that runner at second. so freddie freeman. could not move up. >> mike: top spin, one hop seed. what a great play from evan longoria. that inning duvall had against padres facing machado, hosmer and nola went 1, 2, 3 with strikeouts that's how you gain confidence in late situations in the game. >> jon: duvall two hits, two batted in tonight.
9:48 pm
slider at the bemt. belt. duvall basically a . >> mike: doval basically a two-pitch guy, high velocity fastball, the slider you just saw. >> jon: ohh, buster posey saved a wild pitch. i don't know how he did it. >> mike: he doesn't know how he did it that's 99 miles an hour coming across your body. no time to get your body in front of it. you're just letting your hands think for themselves. but that gets by him. that's a 90-foot mistake, creates a runner at third and one out. that spear by posey prevented it. >> jon: and a pop up.
9:49 pm
solano. two down. he went back to the slider. i don't know if it was where he wanted it to be but it worked beautifully. two down. >> mike: sometimes hanging slider is the best pitch of the game. >> jon: eddie rosario. to the plate now. the left-handed hitter on deck is travis d'arnaud the man who hit the three-run homer to put the braves ahead in the 9th inning. so now doval against the veteran, rosario who is 1 for 4 in the game. freeman still at second. two down. just off the outside at 100.
9:50 pm
to longoria, juggles it. and throws him out. couple of hot shots to longoria. and he got his man both times. and now he'll lead it off in the last of the 11th with brandon crawford at second base. but parents like it to, like a lot. they go bonkers. (wuaahh) totally boom it's an adventure. (sound of playing) you know ,you have to keep an eye on them. you got to let them explore and figure things out for themselves. so hurry up (screams) they're not gonna stay this way forever. kick off your kidifornia vacation at visitcalifornia.com
9:51 pm
well, the series against the braves continues through the weekend at oracle park tomorrow
9:52 pm
6:05 first pitch, an invitation to all of you to come out early tomorrow at 3:00 as former owner bob leary will be inducted into the giants wall of fame on king street enjy a early start. sfgiants.com/tickets. >> jon: last of the 11th, giants, 5. atlanta, 5. braves to the bullpen for jacob webb. >> mike: number for webb his 28th game he's come into. 27 strikeouts. 28 and third. he has a fastball in mid-90s. curve ball, a really good change-up. the . >> jon: so brandon crawford is automatic runner at second base. evan longoria who has had 15 rbis in what his last eight
9:53 pm
games will try and get another one here. >> mike: they're opening up the right side of the infield with just one infielder, freddie freeman there. invitation to longoria. >> jon: nobody playing second base for the braves. albies moved to the shortstop side of second. right on the outside corner. >> mike: the best -- sorry, jon -- the best arms in the braves outfield. center field duvall in left, better than average speed at second base with crawford. >> jon: pick off throw. he throws it wildly. crawford gets up and will head to third. and that changes a lot! as the way the braves will play on the infield and the outfield with nobody out.
9:54 pm
>> mike: just you talk about risk/reward. it's just not a good play. very difficult play for albies. could not come across crawford to catch that ball. >> jon: so they give the automatic walk now to longoria. >> mike: they may do the same thing with duggar. >> jon: it's duggar who came in as part of a double switch. and on deck would be solano. the infielders in and now the outfielders won't have to get to a spot where they feel like they can catch a ball and still keep crawford from scoring.
9:55 pm
duvall is pretty deep in center field. and so is rosario in left. i guess they feel like they could come running over to make a catch and make a throw. ball one to duggar. >> mike: comes right at him with his strongest weapon, the change-up. >> jon: there is solano who tied the game with two down and two strikes in the 9th inning. 2-0. i suppose he's not all that worried about walking him. he's got an empty base. >> mike: walk doesn't hurt you, he can nibble if he wants.
9:56 pm
again, another power change-up. best weapon against the lefties. >> jon: steven duggar, trying to get crawford home to win the game here in the last of the 11th. crawford at third. longoria at first. got the fastball by him. first fastball duggar has seen in his of stint to the plate. duggar who hit a home run day before yesterday over the right field wall in the last game that he started.
9:57 pm
left center field but barely shallow. it is rosario, crawford starts, and stops, as longoria goes over to second. got it to the outfield but did not get it deep enough. that's the first out. there was a little confusion between rosario and duvall. >> mike: don't know if rosario had the best angle to get on a good throw but with nobody out you're not going to take on the reputation of his arm, he's got a strong arm, you have to anticipate he's going to make a good throw. with one out you would have challenged it. >> jon: now they will give solano the automatic walk. giants are out of hitters. that's why they're doing that. giants have kevin gausman who
9:58 pm
comes out to be the bench-hitter pinch hitter to try to win the game. >> mike: going to try to put it in play. thing about the braves they can really bring the outfield in here. where he hits this year, he's the best hitting pitcher if you look at the statistics that the giants have. but he just doesn't have a lot of pop in his bat. >> jon: the right fielder pederson is pretty shallow. rosario not as shallow in left. duvall in center, backed up further than either of the other two. crawford at third. longoria at second. solano at first.
9:59 pm
braves are issued four automatic walks in the last two innings. the giants have not had a hit. >> mike: ohh. called a ball. again, wasn't between the knees then you're not going to get it, this goes on the inside corner. alfonso marquez doesn't give anything that's not between the catcher's knees. seldom. >> jon: straight foul. strike two. brandon belt is on deck. i mean, the main thing he wants to avoid is grounding into a double play here. >> mike: god, don't even mention that word. >> jon: brandon belt. the giants want to get him up there. one out in the inning.
10:00 pm
off the inside. and now it's going to 3-2. >> mike: amazing. that just got everybody in this ballpark into it. that's the last thing webb wanted to do. >> jon: the bases are loaded. crawford the possible winning run at third. he needs a strike to gausman. a high, fly ball. pederson backs up. crawford is tagging.
