Smyly is a starting pitcher for
the cubs here today.
It's a different approach that
Drew Smyly has supposed to most
pitchers in the game.
He leans so heavily on that
curve ball more than 40% of the
time.
You throw the hook, throws a
sinker and cutter.
He is five and eight with a 3.84
E.R.A. And on the ground,
backhanded Horner and throws out
Brinson one pitch and one out
swing and a miss struck him out
there 94 up, top two away on the
ground.
Niko Horner again, Drew Smyly
gets him 123 JD Davis grounds
Out on the hill today for the
Giants will be Carlos Rodent.
This is his 28 starts an all
star season is having 12 and
seven with a 292 e.R.A pitch
swinging.
There's a drive into right
center over to his right.
Yeah, now he's in a few steps,
he's got it on the way, sliders
struck him out looking a very
high strike and Suzuki can't
believe it, but that's
Consistent with what he's
calling a strike at the top of
the zone.
He's giving an extra 23" up
there.
Got him in l in the inning, two
strikeouts for roden Giants are
coming up.
Mike Yastrzemski on base
percentage this season by month
april 3 40 june or may 4 42.
And then he had three months
where he scuffled a little bit.
But this september he's Right
back up and is on base is now
four 16 to 32 pitch takes
outside ball for a fastball
away.
First baserunner of the game
with two down here in the second
inning.
Yastrzemski gets a walk and now
David, Villar will come up.
Villar lines one down the left
field line, fair ball headed
across the foul line into foul
ground and hitting off the side
wall dugout over there by moral
he throws into second, diving
just ahead of the throw safely
as Villar it's a double with Yaz
taking third, the new kid on the
block, join the club today,
Austin Dean swing and a slow tap
in the third body on the move.
Nice play a good stretch at
first by Rivas and Smiley gets
out of the inning.
Niko Horner made his major
league debut three years ago
today, That one gets under the
glove of Villar and in the right
field.
Hard hit, 93 mph, we'll see how
they score, it base hit corner
on the move and into second with
a stolen base that's just
outstanding right there.
That's a great scouting report.
I don't know if it came from,
Mike napoli the first base coach
of where it came from, but they
had something on the in the
first but it looks like once
they get there often running
because he went on first move
there, no chance for anybody to
throw him out working on and
Gomes will touch them all.
Niko Water was moving on the
play Came to a complete stop at
third, anchored to the base and
it kept going home run number
seven Home runs, the first home
run out on a slider all season.
He has the lowest home runs per
nine.
This is the first home run of
2020.
Suzuki ready to step in, called
out on strikes in the first
inning Line drive, base hit left
field, but the one thing that we
have seen from Soria Suzuki is
he can hit a fastball, he turns
around 97 right there, the pitch
high, it's off the glove of wins
, rolls a few feet behind him.
Suzuki stopped almost halfway
between 1st and 2nd, now going
back to first and the throw
there got him and a real
adventure there on the bases.
For Soria Suzuki got almost
halfway to second.
Twins scrambled back to go get
that ball and then Suzuki, he
froze for a moment, then decided
to try and get back to first.
Well, I think Smileys still
reaping the reward of doing a
very good job of establishing
the fastball in the beginning of
the game, popped in the air and
her Maceio able to make the play
pr hits one in the air to center
field, coming in.
Is Hermosillo to make the catch
two away line, drive out towards
right center.
Suzuki get a good jump, pulls it
in And drew Smyly a six pitch
inning.
He has set down 10 in a row and
for Rodin number 209 in his
career.
He moved ahead of race Siddiqui
into sixth place all time among
all Giants left handers who have
ever pitched for the franchise
over 100 and 40 seasons.
And this is the biggest
challenge of the day for Drew
Smyly.
Two outs, two on cubs, lead to
nothing in the sixth in the dirt
, a swing and a miss.
Longoria's out throw the first
and now in the inning, most
games with 10 plus strikeouts in
Giants history.
Carlos, Rodon on top 10
opponents in their first at bat
off of Bowden in two, 12th at
bat tuo to third at bat for a
lot of people fall apart just to
19.
So this is what you call a
bulldog era workhorse.
32 pitch, he struck him out
swinging 95 mile an hour
fastball number 11 for Rodin.
And so they're going to remove
him and now the bullpen will
take it the rest of the way.
Corner one for 2 scored on the
home run by Gomes left field, A
rocket to left and into the
bleachers.
Niko Horner with a two run homer
, his 9th anniversary of his
major league debut here today in
the second and now the two run
home run lead, Pitching one of
his best games in a Cub uniform
ever today through six shutout
innings swing and a miss and
Smiley with a strikeout.
He reached back and gets
Yastrzemski swing and a miss,
strike three.
Villar is out on strikes.
What a game by Drew Smyly seven
shutout innings.
He got the first hitter Joey
Barton a pop up but then a walk
to Joc Pederson the pinch hitter
, he struck out flores and then
he walked JD Davis three men are
now the Giants were very badly
like to take advantage of all of
this generosity from the cubs
but they're going to have to get
a hit at some point they're
gonna have to help themselves
and Longoria will come up and go
hammers one down the left field
line, fair ball, it will roll
into the left field corner and a
fan interfered with it.
So the umpires will have to
determine what would have
happened unless the ball was
ruled to have bounced over the
wall as an automatic double and
maybe maybe it didn't.
It's down in that area, we can't
really see it.
Both Dean and Joc Pederson score
and it's 4 to 2. We have reached
the moment of truth the ninth
inning, 42 cubs.
Brandon Hughes still in the
game.
He got the last out in the
eighth inning fly ball, center
field playable for er maceio
near the track.
He's got it, cubs win the
ballgame.
Brandon Hughes gets the save.
Drew Smyly gets the win, cubs
hit a couple of home runs and
the cubs win.
Game one of this three game
series by a score of 42 to
