Pirates vs. Nationals Game Highlights (4/4/24) | MLB Highlights
Baseball for you. The rain delay will end at 5:15 p.m. when they will have the first pitch after a delay of one hour and 10 minutes. It’ll be Josiah Gray taking on Mart-n Perez for the Pirates and be looking to bounce back from a four performance in Cincinnati
Where he gave up seven runs on eight hits and struck out six on the ground that get through a base hit for the lead off, hit for oil Cruz. Now, Brian reynolds hit the other way down for a hit fair by a foot and it deadens off that side wall.
That’s a double for Brian reynolds and Bucks on the pond with key Brian Hayes coming up 32 and he walked him well, now a fine mess for Mr Gray. The bases loaded. Nobody out. And Jack Zinsky who had a big day yesterday coming up, he’s gonna send this one deep out to
Left field, that’ll be deep enough to get the run in and reynolds at least draws the throw. Zack fly for Sowinski and the Pirates score in the first inning for the first time this season going the other way was Jack I was about to say he can get, you know, you could start
Hitting balls out of the ballpark when he hits one. It seems like he hit three or four in a week and short little swing from Jack just didn’t quite get the extension. He needed to hit it out of the park that way it wasn’t close. Another walk for Gray, the bases
Are loaded again, slowly hit and through just enough on it to drive into to with a two run single and the Pirates lead three nothing in the first again. Game changing at bats. You know, this ball is not hit very hard if it’s right at the second baseman or the shortstop
Or if Gray can get a glove on it , the innings over, but he just is able to find the hole, nobody’s there. So instead of the nats being out of the inning, Pirates score two and they’re still swinging. Now, Henry Davis 1st and 3rd. Henry out to left Joe will tag
And he will come in to score first RB I of the season for Henry davis. The Pirates have put up four in the first. Well, this is worth the wait, no doubt. I mean, that’s a productive out. Henry has had some opportunities with runners in scoring position
, hasn’t been able to cash in, but he’ll take this. That’s the curveball that again. He kind of leaves it in now. Triolo swing and a miss the Pirates score four in the first inning. Mart-n Perez on his 33rd birthday. So how about some run support for the Pirates lefty on his birthday?
What a nice gift. He gave up just one run in 15 innings and picks up the strike out here already. Lane Thomas. Yeah, to Cruz at short, taking it in a good bit. So, two quick outs for Perez and brings up Meneses very well. That’s the fastball right there.
Just a weak pop up and Perez right back into the Pirates dugout with the Pirates on top for the only batter he didn’t face in the first inning was Michael a Taylor. He smoked that ball out to left field, Michael A Taylor hits it off the wall and that’s a
Leadoff double for the former national. Well, he turned on one and Taylor is hidden in all seven games safely this season first out badly needed out here in the top of the second and it brings up Ryan reynolds. You have enough that have been around long enough to expect the win right up.
The middle base hit for Reynolds. Michael A Taylor is in five nothing pirates. Brian reynolds just continues to drive in runs. That’s another pitch like how are you getting to that pitch? You know, you’re feeling pretty good. The change up for a double was about 68 inches off the plate away.
This pitch was down and away and he just is able to stay on it, just slap it up the middle. That’s not trying to do too much. It’s just reacting to what you see. Now it’s Hayes. He walked his first time up bouncer to third having to back
Up Lipscomb the relay very well done by Ilda Vargas with Brian Reynolds bearing down on him. Bottom of the second inning. Joey Gallo leads off for the Nationals and he launches another laser to right field going one hop the wall. It kind of deadens there. So Joey Gallo suddenly raking
Against the pirates one out. So now Jesse Winker and a base hit to right. Joey Gallo Motors around to score and Jesse Winker does it again. He’s a 500 hitter for the Nets RB I number two and Washington’s on the board. Stay hot. Jesse Winker down and in on this
Sinker, you go from 02 to 22 and Then win the battle right here. Nice job. Drop the head on it and the sweet swing of Jesse Winker going right now. Two outs. Now he chased Perez with his second strikeout leading 5 to 1. It’s the third walk for Gray and
That will be it for him. And Derek Wall will get the call last season with Cincinnati. Connor joe in the air to left and deep. Connor joe gets a hold of one and sends it into the seats. Two run shot for Connor joe Bucks up a half dozen.
Boy, he swung a hot bat this first week of the season. He sure has and he has pop. You don’t realize it until he gets a hold of one. I mean, he could hit a ball a long way and he got a breaking ball that was left up and we
Talked about that wind blowing in from left. Doesn’t matter. He’ll go right through it, another breaking ball up in her third, crushed it two outs and top of the order CJ Abrams that ball hit a ton out to right center CJ later. Second of the year. Hey now, blast here in the fifth
To make it 7 to 2 cutter at the top of the zone for CJ Abrams 106 off the bat and he knew it and just what we like to see him getting on top of something, driving it out, backspin on it out. First homer given up by Perez
This year and that is with a base hit, brings up Joey Gallo swing and a miss three pitch strike out of Joey Gallo runners at 1st and 2nd cracked his bat. Triolo gets it out there and the double play. What a nicely turned double play by Jared Triolo.
Nice little gift there by Riley Adams Lipscomb begins the bottom of the seventh and so far today , Mart-n Perez, that’s all he’s done throttling the hitters back and forth one out walk here in the 7th. 2nd out run at first base. Vargas top of the order CJ Abrams 02. Battle here.
And how about winning that battle going the other way? Got great wood on that thing. CJ Abrams takes it zero for two and turns it into a two for four. He’s going to make the move. So that’s it. Perez, a good outing on his birthday in line for the win.
Ortiz for the first time in his career will inherit base runners in there. Taylor right there. He’s got it and Ortiz gets the Pirates side of the seventh two on two out. But he’s going to give Trey lips a chance to show what he can do it. Lips come base hit right field
Line. How about the kid coming through right there? Gallo scores Winer to third. The Nats have life. It’s 7 to 3. Nice job by Trey inside out. A little sinker in. Got a lot of space on that right side. Just left of Roddy Tale. The first baseman.
Look at that ball move nice job Trey. And so the nationals now will bat Luis Garc-a for Vargas. Left handed hitter with a chance to do some damage. Garcia hard hit off the second baseman. Triolo innings. Still alive. It’s a 7 to 4 game. Nice job by Luis Garc-a Junior.
100 miles an hour on that. He hits it hard. Triolo third baseman turn second baseman trying to body up on it. That’s what you want to do on a 20 pitch just hit it hard. That’s all you can do it up. The second baseman and we got a
74 game two on two out the time run coming up against Aroldis Chapman and he strikes out Jacob Young still 7 to 4. Pirates. Here we go. Bottom of the ninth inning. The Pirates lead by three trying to win the series and come home six and one after this great
Start to the season in the air after right wraps it up one out lane. Thomas is zero for four career against Bednar and he strikes him out with a split first one he has thrown and it was a good one. Here’s Joey Menees two outs. Nobody on bottom of the ninth.
He struck him out. David Benard gets the save and the Pirates, they are six and one to start this season and they’re coming home.
