To make start number 10 in the
year.
Everything in good shape.
See are a lot of strikeouts.
A very many walks.
Marcus Semien starting it off
fastball.
This one lined softly to center
and weird read out there that
one gets past him and goes all
the way to the wall.
Marcus Simeon round second, head
to third.
They will stop him there with a
triple Muchlinski.
I don't know that I have a good
idea what happened to him there.
He kind of pauses and at the
last minute tries to come in and
make a shoestring catch and I
think he may have even been
thinking about an inside the
parker.
I certainly want to take
advantage of that break that the
Rangers just caught this one
across, get on the board that
should do it deep in the hole.
Short Seager has a chance to leg
out an infield it and he does R
B I for Seager and the Rangers
two batters in have a won
nothing lead and Lowe draw's the
walks.
So the first three Rangers have
all reached.
Runners are at 1st and 2nd.
Nobody out.
And that brings up Adolis Garcia
and that's popped up high into
the air down the right field
line.
Santana angles out into foul
ground long the track he reaches
up, makes the catch bangs up
against the netting, maintains
his balance and throws to third
Seager is safe.
They're just ahead of the throw
as he tagged in advance.
And rightly so because Santana
is falling a way from the
diamond almost fell down and his
momentum carried them into that
mesh net, which I wasn't so sure
could hold him.
So it will be in the hands of
Jonah Heim's Rangers have scored
a run but they want to get a
little more out of this inning.
Now, a walk and that's gonna
allow Seager to score from third
and that's going to really fire
up.
The lefty did not get a warning
which usually get and this is
something to be really careful.
He didn't stop and he said he
just continued through as he
came up.
He just, he didn't come set for
the Texas Rangers this season.
He has an E R A of 2.83, 60
strikeouts 27 last night, 14,
2000 and his career now three to
swinging a line drive to left
Grossman scrambling to hard and
off the wall in the second with
a double around 97 the left
field wall, Ryan Reynolds is
diving stop to the bag and get
Reynolds advances to third.
A sparkling defensive effort
there by Nathaniel, a lot of
room down the line, they get
deeper down the line with his
lead and that's popped up.
Seager has a play on it and that
is a big second out because
mccutchen has to hold third this
one high in the air back of
third base.
Another harmless pop out.
And the inning is the Pirates
leave a man at third base.
Good start tonight for the
Rangers, a two nothing lead
Texas two and the Pirates
nothing Rangers come to bat
against Rich Hill three to a
strike three.
Call one out up and in with a
fastball already.
Two strikeouts for Hill.
Here's the one to write their
strike three called back to back
strikeouts for still looking to
been gone through 91 right
there.
Strikes out the side in order.
He's got four adjustment and the
count is three and one too low
who walked on five pitches his
first time up 31 Lowe Luke one
to center field Cywinski
charging in its hanging up
there.
One drops right in front of
Slowinski.
It didn't hang up there enough.
Is the Pirates center fielder
froze initially and that was
probably the difference between
them being able to hold that one
in and the inning versus Lowe
coming away with two outs
singles.
Garcia fouled out back in the
first inning and he really has
struggled on the road this year.
This one over third base down
toward the left field corner and
that allowed to bang off the
wall Lowe to third and they will
stop him on the Garcia double
has assigning is ready and the
pitch curveball hit on the
ground to, to third Hayes angles
to get a friendlier hop and
throws across to get the out.
And that ends the inning.
Rich Hill strands two in scoring
position in the order the other
way and that is down to the
third inning going to go to
second and his pick off the
first and they got him.
That was a close but Bay picked
off for the second out of the
inning.
They're looking into the dugout
to see if they're going to take
a look at this, I'm guessing by
bays body language.
Oh, they are going to look at it
did not have a real confidence.
First base.
He was definitely going to me
now looks like Brian Reynolds
with two outs.
Rangers leading crank towards
right centerfield will hit right
fielder Garcia and it stays in
play, which is huge because that
allows mccutchen to score on the
Reynolds double and it's 2 to 1
hit that ball really hard too
right center and doubles again.
Galore for Brian Reynolds take
advantage.
Nobody out Santana, the runner
at first base and a ground ball.
Third Jung the second one on
first from Simeon in time for
the double play.
5 to 4 to three.
Rangers go around the horn and
the bases are empty Nathan
Eovaldi after an error by
Nathaniel, oh, gets a nice
little ground ball for a little
543 double play.
But take a look at what he does
here.
This is how you're lead out
there on the mound.
He's going, hey, hey Marcus
Simeon who struck out his first
time, he swings and hits one to
left center Muchlinski on the
move and dives and makes the
catch for a moment.
It looked like it would fall in
and he closed some ground in a
hurry and made a diving catch
saving extra bases.
That's the second out.
And with the Ranger's leading 2
to 1, they have the leadoff man
on for a Dolis Garcia.
That ball blasted down the left
field line, same spot where he
hit it last time.
Lowe into third base and he will
stop there again.
That's exactly how the things
went down in the third time.
This time it was that curve ball
looked like Adolis was sitting
on the curveball.
The Rangers have runners at 2nd
and 3rd with nobody out.
Here's Josh Jung and this one
wind over second, that's a base
hit should score to.
Lowe is in a Garcia around third
and he is in a two run single by
Josh Jung and the Rangers
leading 4 to 1. Now, Robbie
Grossman, he's had to very
frustrating at bats so far
tonight, this one lined out
towards center and it drops in
base hit.
Good read by Jung, but he will
only make it to third.
He held up for a moment to check
and see if he would have to play
on the ball and it took off, but
it was a little too late.
Not a lot of look on his side in
this one.
Think about to start the game.
And the, when Tim hires was
pointing out to Bruce Bochy,
theres another balk that's gonna
get another run home.
Grossman goes to second Jung
scores from 3rd, 2nd Bachar
tonight against the Pirates and
Derek Shelton.
Not happy.
We'll take a look at this, but I
think he ends up striding
towards home plate and throwing
to first watched his front foot
picks up.
I think he broke that 45 degree
plane right there.
51 rangers on top bottom of the
seventh inning.
It'll be the heart of the order
for the Pirates.
Zavala.
He goes back to work his pitch
swing and a miss a fastball at
96 Santana goes down swinging.
That's the third strike out for
Eovaldi.
There's a funny attempt, third
base side of all the off for it
and throws to first in time and
that completes a scoreless
seventh, Nathan with only one
walk here tonight.
Very aggressive going right
after these pirate hitters
making it look easy tonight
against the Pittsburgh pirates.
Very aggressive in the strike
zone.
A lot of soft contact, Jung, a
big hit his last time up.
He smoked the single over bay
into right center and that
played a couple of runs and that
ball is blasted to left and I
don't think Reynolds or
anybody's going to catch that in
to the second deck.
Josh Jung has homered again and
a rookie with his 11th home run
of the year has driven in in
half of the Rangers runs
tonight.
It's 6 to 1 sun setting here in
the valley and on the game as
well, 61 Rangers leading
delivers two and two in a swing
and a Miss, he gets a strike out
of Reynolds to start tonight.
This ball just takes off down
and in and underneath the bat of
Reynolds two to and that is
strike three called back to back
strikeouts in the ninth one on
the ground up the middle Seager
to his left throw to first in
time.
Santana turned back and Nathan
Eovaldi with his second complete
game in less than a month and he
was backed by the offensive
Texas Rangers as they put up six
on the board including a long
home run from Josh Jung.
