>> this is what happens, get to

face him again. comes in with the sinker. uh-oh! get out, get out! >> it does all for jose bautista. what's he telling him at third? you better keep your mouth closed, keep talking. coming after you. >> blue jays win 4-2. >> if you're going to hit your first homer, a pretty good place to do it is in yankee stadium. that's a story to tell your grand kids. >> vernon wells pinch hitting. this goes into the glove of a fan. he knocks it back into play. but calls a ground rule double with fan interference. all three runners were allowed to score on the play. white sox taking on the royals. salvador perez. kevin, this guy can swing it. >> hits this one to right field.

hitting .450. >> yes, he will hit over .350. >> should he be at the all-star game? >> no, no! >> not yet. he played 17 games. you can't make an all-star in 17 games. >> you can't drive in four runs and be in the all-star game. >> he can't be at citi field. >> he can be there but he'll have to have a ticket. >> coming up after the break, we'll get you out to your game right here on fox.

minor leagues. patrick corbin in a spirited three-player race for that fifth spot in the rotation, he took it and ran with it. >> he really did run with it. he's trying to get to 10-0 on the season, becoming the first d'backs pitcher in history to start 10-0. two of the best teams in the national loog will go up against each other here next. both tylenol and bayer back & body are proven to be effective pain relievers tylenol works by blocking pain signals to your brain bayer back & body's dual action formula

i don't know why the roof is closed. inside it's 79 degrees. time now for tonight's starting lineups for the reds brought to you by, sometimes you have to live. shin-soo choo, todd frazie and zack cozart at eighth and they will face the left-hander patrick corbin who on the season, bob, has been unbelievable all aro >> patrick corbin on the season has been great on the season all around. against lefties, he's been ridiculous. >> 14 starts this season. a perfect 9-0. he's failed in his last three bids to get to ten wins through no fault of his own. his team has not scored a lot of runs when he's been on the mound. quality strike thrower, 70% first pitch strikes, commands two pitches, a fastball on both sides of the plate, a slider on both sides of the plate.

he will throw an occasional straight change-up. he can be absolutely dominant through the first 75 pitches of a ball game. >> the opening pitch is brought to you by budweiser. we are all set for baseball. here in the desert, derek robinson will lead things off against the southpaw, patrick corbin. the first pitch misses down low, 0-1. foul tips it. that is off miguel montero. that does not feel good. >> i can attest to that. i don't even have to look at a replay. i can tell where that one is hit. a catcher and umpire's worst nightmare. >> if you want, you can look away.

>> too late. good wake-up call for miguel montero. he knows he's involved in a ball game now. >> always good second pitch of the game. oh, we do have a game going on. all right. one ball, one strike. martin prado still in at third base. robinson with good speed. ground ball right side. nice play. corbin covering for the first out. tonight's defensive lineup for the diamondbacks brought to you by scott, the official lawn care company of major league baseball. in the outfield from left to right, kubel and ross. lindquist at second, gregorius at third. and montero behind the plate. >> flashing gold leather all season long there at first base. it's a rarity to see him throw to first. normally he likes to take it himself. 77 times this season, three

unassisted at first base when he could toss it to the pitcher covering but he doesn't want to risk a throw. his theory is if i can get there and beat the runner, why risk a throw? and that slider is outside in the dirt. one ball, one strike. >> since we have two of the best fielding first basemen in the game here in the ballpark tonight, joey votto this season only 44 times has taken it himself at first and last season for the two guys -- >> now it's ground ball to bloomquist. back-to-back nice plays by the right side of the infield for the d'backs. >> that's been a common thread all season long. arizona is second in errors in the national league. only san diego and st. louis played better defense.

>> the days of six guys in your lineup hitting 30 home runs are long gone. >> this is a matchup with chu, with votto that i'm looking forward to all game long as they face the young left-hander in patrick corbin. 1-1 slider. check swing. did he go? the appeal to third base. jim reynolds said he did not go so 2-1. >> i think a's misconception when a left-handed pitcher handles left-handed hitters very well that he throw as good breaking patrick corbin, it's his

willingness to go both sides. he really dominates those lefties. >> you don't want to ask for many days off during the season. this may be one of those if you're a lefty. he swung for the fastball. 3-2. >> one of those nights where you sleep on your neck wrong or the air conditioning tightened up your lower back. >> this young man loves to hit, joey votto. >> 3-2. up high, check swing. he did not go. ball four. i think he held up. two outs, runner on at first base now for brandon phillips.

phillips, 10 home runs and .268 batting average. speaking of a guy who can play defense, i think he's probably the best defensive second baseman in baseball. >> down the right field line. bloomquist with the nice running catch! three good defensive plays in the inning by the right side of the infield. this time it's willie bloomquist going a long way to make the catch for the final out. no score at the end of the half inning. final out. no score at the end of the half inning. all over the world, when the sun goes down, the foodies come out. they cross oceans, leave behind their countries, and their comfort zones. nothing stops them in their pursuit of culinary perfection. except... i'm sorry. no american express.

first toom time now for the starting lineup for the diamondbacks brought to you by taco bell. parra lead things off followed by bloomquist and goldschmidt in the three hole and cody ross bats fifth and the bottom third of the order. martin prado and gregorius and prado.

dusty baker tells us he is their best starting pitcher this year. >> bob: he's a strike thrower. has a full arsenal of pitches at his availability out there on the mound. dusty told us if he needs a strikeout, he's go >> bob: dusty told us if he need as strikeout, he's got that in his back pocket. if he needs contact, he's got that pitch as well. >> justin: votto will take it to the bob himself saying, here, take that, bob brenly. >> bob: a full arsenal of pitches. he'll sink his fastball, highs cut it. he's been using the big overhand curveball lately. great feel for pitching. he watches how hitters react to his deliveries and then adds and subtracts. and he can swing that bat. >> justin: he certainly can. loves to hit. and now he's actually being treated as a hitter when he comes up. speaking of hitting, willie bloomquist, .335, no home runs,

8 rbis. he takes the first pitch fastball in there for a strike. bloomquist has really been hitting since he came off the d.l. good numbers against cincinnati. two away as brendan phillips makes the catch. tonight's defensive lineup, derek robinson in left, joey votto at first, zach kozar plays short. >> these fans better start getting their votes throughout if they want paul goldschmidt into the all-star.

>> bob: have i to believe that bruce bochy and everybody else recognizes an all-star when they see one. >> justin: those numbers on goldschmidt, 65 rbis, he had two home runs last night, picked up three more rbis on the season. i think if you were in a sports bar and asked somebody who is the national league leader in rbis, i think he'd win some buffalo wings or a free beverage in that bet if you knew it was paul goldschmidt. breaking ball is in the dirt. two balls, two strikes. >> bob: a little bit of a speed bump for paul goldschmidt, starting about three weeks ago right up until this last home stand here. teams just started to pitch him away, away, away. if they walk him, they whack him. they just didn't want to give him anything to hit. >> justin: 3-1. that will do it. a 1-2-3 inning worked by mike

leake. we're through one here in the desert. that's just brilliant. i know...foot-activated liftgate and great gas mileage. so much better than a foot-activated liftgate or great gas mileage. that'd be like us going to a bed or breakfast.

and jay bruce, well, it started on wednesday. that was the walkoff, the game winner. that was the first blown save of the year. and thursday bruce does it again. none of these shots are cheap shots. he's getting all of them. >> bob: every bit of them. all those pitches were from the middle of the plate in. down there around the knees, right where he can drop that bat head. he gets an amazing amount of lift on the pitches from the middle of the plate in, which really plays well in his home ballpark. >> justin: that is a small ballpark to say the least. a fan box. and there he gets into one again. forget about it! his fourth homer in his last four games! just the second home run that

corbin has allowed to a lefty this year and that was crushed. >> bob: you mentioned it, he doesn't hit any cheapies. that ball was torpedoed. that was out over the plate, allowing bruce to get the extension necessary to hit the ball this far. >> justin: frazier fouls it back. i'm almost speechless right now thinking about that. >> bob: and this ballpark they say the ball does not carry nearly as well with the roof and panels closed as they are here today with the temperatures of 108 degrees outside. hard to imagine how far that might have gone with the roof and panels open. >> justin: in the dirt check.

>> bob: the lift he gets in his swing. caught that about as pure as you can hit it, off the bottom corner of the scoreboard. just to the right of straightaway center. >> justin: gregorius handles the hop for the first out here in the second. when you hit a ball like that, you should smile. >> bob: for days. >> justin: how about that. his last six hits, all home runs. now with 17 on the year. devin mesoraco, the catcher. mesoraco has become essentially the personal catcher for mike leake.

>> and veteran ryan hanigan doing the rest of the catching at the plate. dusty baker had a lot of complimentary things to say about mesoraco. he said he has really settled in this year, paying much more attention in the advantage meetings and applying the things that you hear in that advance meeting to the pitchers that you're going to catch. >> justin: two balls and a strike here to mesoraco. fouls one over third base foul. it's two balls and two strikes. 1-0 the score here in the top of the second after a leadoff home run by jay bruce here in the second. an absolute bomb to pretty much center field, right center field

off the bottom of the scoreboard. and he was just trying make us look good as he rolled in his montages of home runs the last three days. >> bob: have to add to it now. >> justin: 2-2. check swing. and now it's three balls, two strikes. >> bob: you'll notice the slider from patrick corbin. occasionally he'll throw it to the back hand, trying to hit that outside corner. other times toward the back foot, when he's looking for a swinging strike. >> fouled back. stays 3-2. did i hear this correctly, that you had an opportunity for a foul ball last night in the booth? >> bob: it was an unexpected bounce. it was a very high pop-up that went straight down below the booth and hit the aisleway down there and bounced up into the booth. caught me completely by surprise.

>> justin: the 3-2. chopper to shortstop. gregorius. and there are two outs. next saturday on baseball night americhe will head to texas to take on the rangers in an interleague matchup for the red hot chris davis and the orioles. baseball night in america presented by ace hardware begins next saturday at 7:00 p.m. eastern only on fox. by the way, if it happens tonight, you will be ready. >> bob: i better be. >> justin: i'll be ready, too. i won't let you down. >> bob: i was always told just protect the equipment. we can find another analyst. we don't want any of the monitors to go down. >> justin: one ball, one strike to zack cozart. popped up behind home plate.

montero has room. makes the catch. that will do it here in the second. but not before jay bruce has his fourth home run in the last four days to give his team the 1-0 lead as we go to the bottom half of the second. undup ♪ ♪ i'm a loving husband and a real good dad ♪ ♪ but weeds just make me rattlesnake mad ♪ ♪ now roundup has a new sharp-shootin' wand ♪ ♪ i'm sendin' them weeds to the great beyond ♪ ♪ roundup yeha!

>> justin: 1-0 reds lead the diamondbacks. i'm guessing you could find some diamondbacks in the desert. jay bruce with that mammoth home run to give his team that 1-0 lead. it will be four, five, six, miguel montero, cody ross and jason kubel against mike leake. montero's numbers on the season don't look very good right now. .224, 4 home runs, 22 rbis but

ever since eric chavez went down, montero batting in the clean-up spot is spinning a better bat. >> bob: kirk gibson mentioned montero's swing has been freer, quicker and easier. said he's not trying to generate as much power, just trying to get the barrel of the bat on the ball and take whatever comes his way. >> justin: change-up is outside. the first 40 games of the season, montero hit .180. the last 25 games he's up to .284. back door breaking ball is outside. two balls, one strike here to montero leading off in the second. 2-1 is inside. now three balls and a strike here to montero.

>> bob: not a guaranteed fastball count when you're facing mike leake. looks like a change-up coming here. >> justin: montero goes the other way. derrick robinson down for the first out. >> victor martinez helping a brother out. that is a grand slam. bottom one, we've already got six runs on the board. tigers up 4-2. >> thanks so much, greg. if that team can get victor martinez providing some pop, oh, my gosh. martinez, fielder, cabrera. cody ross takes the first pitch fastball for a strike. >> bob: one thing you know for sure, you'd rather pitch for them than against them.

>> justin: the 0-1 from leake. lined to center field. and quickly two up, two down here in the second. mike leake made his name at arizona state. two-time pac 10 pitcher of the year. yes, when he was there, it was still the pac 10. also could do some damage with the bat. but this guy was a stud for the sun devils. time for the own your space pitcher profile brought to you by avis. his only previous start here in arizona was back on april 10th of 2011. got a no-decision, 4 2/3, 9 hits, 6 runs, 4 walks, 2 strikeouts. he has about two dozen friends here at the ballpark tonight for this one. breaking ball. kubel, down low. one ball, one strike. >> bob: manager dusty baker said you could tell that mike leake

was special his first big league spring training when starting pitchers are allowed to leave after the fifth inning of the game figuring all the big leaguers are out of the game by that point, mike leake did not leave, stayed right there, sat next to dusty baker, wand to learn as much as he could as quickly as he could, really made a good impression on the coaching staff. >> justin: he made such a good impression, he never had to go to the minor leagues. he was drafted, went to fall ball, spring training and made the opening day roster out of spring train. 1-2 outside. two balls, two strikes. >> bob: and mike leake endeared himself to the clubhouse staff, he'd help hang the laundry, put duffel bags away. >> justin: 2-2. and back-to-back 1-2-3 innings

by mike leake. a return to phoenix after a word from your local fox station. r a word from your local fox station.

>> justin: top of the third we go. justin kutcher along bob brenly. >> justin: they'll be nine, one, two in the order. leake a very good hitting pitcher. takes the first pitch inside on the corner for strikes one. and we're now joined by a member of the pitching staff of the arizona diamondbacks, brendan mccarthy. i know you're on the d.l. right now. how are you feeling?

>> i feel good. just taking a little down time, get a little rest, build up strength again and kind of start over. that's all coming back. >> justin: i know you're really big on twitter. the question is have you been busy recently to get some more followers? >> no. the biggest thing to get followers is to go to the hospital and have brain surgery. that's what seems to be the magical -- that one got me the most, i'm never going to get back to that level again. >> bob: let's hope not. >> that would be good. i'll forfeit the followers for that. >> justin: derrick robinson misses inside for ball one. you mentioned the brain surgery. we've seen a couple guys get hit in the last few weeks getting hit by comebackers. what advice would you give them? >> it would depend what they actually went through. i was a little unlucky in that there was a little more damage and extremely fortunate for those guys that they were kind of able to escape more serious

injury. i think mentally for them, i think it should be simple. i've heard comments from alex already looking forward to getting back and it doesn't surprise me at all. your competitive nature wants to get back out there as soon as you can. as long as you're concussion-free and you feel comfortable with it, just do it as fast as you can. it's like ripping off a band-aid. just get out there and do it. >> bob: major league baseball wants to do everything to protect all the players, you don't want to have any catastrophic injuries. you have talked to major league baseball and your situation and what they could do to protect pitchers better? >> yeah, a few representatives spoke to me in the spring and it's something they've been somewhat pro active with, at least as far as they can. right now it's the limitation of the products available is what's holding up the process. the prolducts that have been mae available don't hold up to

testing and they're too heavy, too nonflexibility and then there's just been performance issues themselves. >> justin: one ball, two strikes the count here to shin-soo choo. we're watching patrick corbin on the hill. he's off to a great start. what have you seen from him this year and what he's doing? >> he works fast. his fastball can live by itself. but the slider is too good. >> justin: he works too fast. we didn't have time to talk to you. >> thank you, guys. i appreciate it. you make a great team.

>> justin: mike leake has retired the first six men in a row. he'll face martin prado, didi gregorius and patrick corbin in the inning. bronson arroyo, thanks for joining us. i'm a bit disappointed. i thought you might have the guitar with you. >> i wish i could have that thing here in the dugout. i think you need 25 years in the game to be able to do that. i don't have that yet. >> justin: nice play by todd frazier for the first out of the inning. on a serious note, as far as you're concerned and this team is concerned, off to a good start, 6-5, 3.15 e.r.a. this year. you've been pitching really well for this team for many years now. when you look at your success, what's been the key for you? >> i think the number one thing is that i just toe the rubber every fifth day. going out there 32, 33 times a year, i don't know, people

undervalue the importance of just staying healthy. you see a guy like nick, who hasn't pitched for us in about a year and a half, steems you almost forget guys like that are still in the organization and you don't realize unless you're a superstar in the game, if you don't stay healthy, it's a big at the timetoriment to you. and being consistent in the strike zone and finding other ways to beat guys. because it's always a chess match, especially when you don't have overpowering stuff like myself. year after year people get used to your stuff and stop fishing for the slider off the plate. you have to find new ways to beat people. >> we see you flipping breaking balls up there in the low 60s and occasionally getting by with fastball in the mid 80s and it looks like you're having fun doing it. >> yeah, i do. i've never had overpowering stuff. the stuff i have now, you know, i threw up to 90 in high school and that was overpowering for high school. after that minor league hitters

can hit 90 with no problem. it's always been fun for me to play this mental part of the game, watch body language, try to pitch with a little bit of awareness of what's going on around me and what guys are trying to do to you. i watched greg maddux as a kid and i feel he's probably been the best pitcher in the last 50 years of this game and he did it better than anybody. it's definitely fun to go out and try to do that. >> justin: and watching mike leake out on the mound, he seems to have a little bit of that, too, watching hitters and adjusting his pitching accordingly. >> no doubt. ryan hanigan came to me and said this guy pitches a bit like you. he was saying he can sink it, cut it and there's not a ton of guys in the game like that. there's so many guys coming out of college that are throwing, you know, 95 plus right now, it's actually becoming -- i'm more of an anomaly these days

throwing like i am and leake kind of falls in that category as well. i think being like that, it definitely helps keeping you healthy. >> i think what also helped is the fact that mike leak ce cut s hair so they can tell the two of you apart. >> he looks like he's 12 years old and he's having success so i don't think it's coming back any time soon. way it's supposed to work. ♪ [ male announcer ] you'll probably never bat in the ninth inning of game 7. or have to make a shot with 20,000 fans screaming at you. or choreograph an original touchdown dance. ♪ but you do have a sport, and every weekend is your chance to take the field.

here in the fourth it will be joey votto, brandon phillips and jay bruce to face patrick corbin. bruce -- excuse me, votto his first time up worked a walk. one of two base runners in the game the other was the home run by jay bruce. and first pitch swinging fouls it back. no balls, one strike. >> bob: talked to miguel montero about joey votto today and he told me an interesting story. when he got on base in the ball game last night, joey was speaking to him in spanish, joey votto trying to learn spanish so he can better communicate with his teammates. and he told him only espaniole.

votto hit .317 that year, montero hit .301 and they've been hooking up against each other ever since. >> one away. time for a game break. >> extra innings by the bay. headquarte hector sanchez up. bases loaded. this blooper makes him a hero this afternoon. in 11 innings, the giants finally beat the marlins. it's the first time they beat them at home in the last ten tries. >> well, how about this race in the west. three and a half games separating the top four teams. we've got a few races in baseball that are really close right now. >> bob: i think the big surprise in the national league west is how poorly the dodgers have done up to this point.

>> bob: yeah. we should have that highlighted and that's what we should be seeing. >> bob: the issue is my number is not going to change. >> justin: two balls, one strike the count to jay bruce. high. 3-1. going back for the dodgers, look at what weeks has done. >> bob: not heaping problems on to don mattingly and the dodgers organization but what do you do when carl crawford and matt kemp come back? >> justin: a two-out walk issued to bruce. >> bob: nice problem to have, too many good players. >> justin: too many good players, all of them with pretty big contracts. you got crawford a big contract they took on from the red sox, matt kemp, that big
