🔴 LIVE: San Francisco Giants vs Minnesota Twins ⚾ MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL LIVE 📻 WBC THE SHOW

and descriptions of this game may not be disseminated without the express threatened consent of the Houston Astros once again with the call of the action. Here’s Robert. Thank you, Steve. And warming up to the theme song for the movie Rocky making his big league debut is AJ Blue Ball. Right-hander two and two with a save in a 3.86 CRA in five games, four starts for Triple A Sugarland. 21 innings for the Space Cowboys, 19 hits, 10 walks, 28 strikeouts. And Blue Ball last pitch last Wednesday. So he’s been off for a week. Blue Ball 24 years old from Mansfield, Ohio. He was the Astros seventh round pick in 2022 at the University of Wisconsin Milwaukee. Had a really good year last year at the two upper levels in the minor leagues for the Astros, including Sugarland with the Space Cowboys when they won the championship of all triple AAA. Blue Ball was a big part of that team. five pitches including a a fourseam fast ball that has kind of an upshoot delivery to it. Kind of a rising fast ball in low to mid 90s. And he’s got a little extra gear in there. He can get it up to 97. Carrie Carpenter will lead things off. Left-handed hitting DH who let off yesterday’s game with a homer. Batting .277, 303 on base percentage, seven homers, 14 RBI’s. He’s homered in each of the first two games of this series and all three of his hits in this series have been for extra bases. Also has a double infield shades to pull. Center fielder Meers shaded slightly toward the pole side and the first pitch for AJ Blue Ball. Swung through for strike one. A 94 mph fast basically down the middle and Carpenter right through it. I don’t know about you, but I kind of feel like running up some stairs right now. Yeah, warming up to the theme song from Rocky AJ Blue Ball. Here’s the one swing and a foul off the mid of the catcher, Keratini. That was another fast ball also at 94. And it’s nothing and two. You know, I mentioned this on on the pregame show on Astro Launch, and it bears repeating because it was very impressive, maybe more impressive than somebody going out there and just throwing some clean shutout innings, but Blue Ball got hit around a little bit against the Yankees in spring training. It came back and struck out the side the next inning. Was very ferocious and aggressive after that. The two breaking ball, hit hard, but foul down the first baseline. Anthony Ayaposi, the first base coach for the Tigers, had to jump out of the way. It was one of those spring training innings when he just threw too many pitches. You could take him out and put him back in the next inning. And when he came out to the mound for that next, you could tell that he just sat there probably in the dugout. He said, “What am I doing? I got to stay aggressive to pitch at this level.” Greatest back at third. Here’s another 02 curve ball downstairs and away. One and two. He’s got a veteran catching back there. Keratini’s in tandem. Blue ball works from the first base side of the rubber. The kick and the one-two. And Carpenter drives it out to center. Meyers going back on it. Has plenty of room. Makes the catch four steps from the warning track and that is out number one. And now Blue Ball’s a big leager. Got a lot of friends and family at the ballpark today. A little exhale after getting the first out of the inning. So, one out and nobody on for Zack McKinstry. Left-handed hitting right fielder. McKinstry fifth in the American League, hitting .326. Second with a 425 on base percentage. A home run and 13 RBI’s for McKenstry who’s hitting 441 over his nine-game hit streak. Extended it with a couple of hits yesterday. Parade steps shy of the grass at third as the infield shades to pull. Pitch by Blue Ball. Curve ball is high. One thing that bears watching today with Blue Ball. So, the Tigers a very left-handed team. They have uh six left-handed hitters in their lineup. That’s been the case for every game of this series. Here’s the 10. That sails up in a way field tonight and hitting eighth. And Cody Clemens is the second baseman. He bats tonight. The pitcher for the Cubs, right-hander Chris Paddock, he’s still looking for his first win of the year. Paddock, we’ve seen him in the past uh in a couple different uniforms. This will be his eighth start. He’s 0 and three with a 557 around average. He’s kind of been the tough luck guy. Even when he has pitched well, the Twins have not been scoring runs when he’s been on the mound. So Paddock and the Twins will take the field wearing their blue City Connect uniform. So, a much different look than we’re used to seeing from uh the Twins. Look pretty sharp. Just don’t look like the Twins out there on the field as we get ready to go.

Adrien Johnson the crew chief at first. Quinn Wilcott at second. Raone De Jesus is the umpire along the third baseline. So the Giants getting ready to come up here in the top of the first. Great to have Hunter Pence with us tonight and tomorrow on our Giants radio broadcast. And Hunter as Chris Paddock goes through his warm-up routine. What are the Giants facing tonight in the Twins? Right, Andrew? Yeah. Well, Paddock, like you said, he’s he’s looking for his first win. He’s got a 5.57 erra. He can walk. He’s given up six home runs in 32 and a third innings, just 24 strikeouts, so not really getting much swing and miss either, but he does have a really good fast ball. He’s very tall on the mound, and he throws it kind of downhill. It’s not a carry fast ball like a lot of a lot of pitchers are trying to do with their four seamer, but it’s been doing well. So, four seamer change up curveball slider is the mix. The off speed’s been getting absolutely punished, but he does throw a lot of fast balls. So, the Giants hitters get ready for a fast ball and get on top. The sheriff does have sheriff vibes for sure. He’s got the mustache and the mullet going. I could see that. I think he I I I think he still does it. He used to at least he wore the full almost like cowboy outfit on the day he’s going to start to the ballpark. So, he is on the mound for the Twins as we get ready to start this series on this beautiful night. man, Target Field and the Giants haven’t been here very took us forever to finally make it to Target Field. For whatever reason, in inner league play in its old iteration, the Giants just never came here. And uh I’m glad we get to come here now cuz a beautiful night tonight. And here we go. Mike Ustreky against the right-hander. The first pitch of the game is on the way. And it’s a fast ball at 95 for a called strike one. basketball in the back seat with a small. He has hitting 278 an OPS over 850 and he fouls this pitch. He got another fast ball right out over the heart of the plate and fouled it back. So the count is 0 and2. Our time and temp are sponsored by Planet Fitness. Planet Fitness, we’re all strong on this planet. We start at 711 Central time and it’s 84° at first pitch time. Here’s the pitch. Yaz. Did he go? No. On appeal, Ramon Jesus said he checked his swing. That was close. A ball in the dirt. It’s one and two. Yeah. And really close. You get a little look here and one of those inbetweeners. Definitely held up. Gets the call. Earns another pitch. I think it was a good call once we saw the replay. One-two pitch. Yeah. Strikes out swinging. High fast ball got him at 96. So the first batter of the game for the Giants goes down swinging. One out and up comes Willie Adamus. And yeah, for for Paddock, that’s definitely the bread and butter is the four seamer top of the zone and he threw he has three really good ones this one. Two strikes just beats him. So here’s Adamus. One out, nobody on. Just getting started. The pitch off the inside with a fast ball. It’s one and0. And something to note, he’s 95 96 averaging on the year just 93.6. So feeling a little frisky here now that the weather’s warmed up. No kidding. He’s got good velocity to start this game. Adamus turns on that pitch. A 96 mph fast ball, but pulls it fouled. Twins defensively, they got a very good defensive outfield. Bader, who’s a center fielder on almost any other team, he’s their left fielder. Buckton in center and Willie Castro in right. Adamus takes and he was kind of locked up by the breaking ball. Right in there for a strike. One and two on the infield. Lee at third. Kareah at short. Clemens at second. First baseman is Ty France. The catcher is Jeffers. Now Adamus drives one down the left field line. It is hooking. And it is fair. It’s gone. A home run. Willie Adamus straight down the line. The fans down there are saying foul, foul, foul. And the Twins are going to challenge. Well, from the booth, it looked pretty fair, pretty clearly fair. And watching Adamus BP today, he want put one almost into the second deck oppo, he told me as the weather heats up, Willie heats up. And we’ll see if this one stays. He’s he’s coming around kind of slow. So, his body language is telling me he’s not as confident, but to the naked eye, I thought it was fair. Umpires before they challenge with New York, the I think this is more just like the protocol on a boundary call. The umpires are supposed to get together on the field and talk about it themselves. It’s uh Willie picked his bat back up. That was some bad audio from Adrien Johnson, the crew chief. I think he said, “We’re going to challenge the ruling of the field of affair or foul.” But here looking at getting the camera angle and it might have been it might it was it looks like it could have been foul. So I think it passed in front of the foul pole from here. You cannot see this, but it there’s like one foot in between the wall and the fair pole, and it looks like it’s just left of the foul pole. Yeah. So, I think this one’s going to be overturned. Replay challenge sponsored by Putnham Family dealerships. Car shopping driven by you. And that’ll take a run off the board for that. I mean, it is oh so close. And you’re right. The foul ball. All right. So officially it’s just a foul ball. No home run. It is strange. Straight down the left field line and that that sandstone colored wall that’s almost the same color as the foul pole, but there’s a gap between the wall and the foul pole. And then there’s a a mesh fence on top of that wall. One, two. Adamus hits it. Fouled. Just got a piece of a breaking ball. Anyway, I can see why an umpire Ramo De Jesus had a good look at that. I can see why that would not have been totally easy to make that call. Still nothing nothing. The one-two pitch. Adam strikes out swinging. That looked like a change up from Paddock. Two down. He struck out the first two Giants hitters of the game. And Paddock right now he first know it’s just the first two batters, but establishing his good fast ball early and and you’re right right there. Change up just gets under the barrel of Will Thomas. Nice pitch. So, two outs for Jung Hulie. Left-handed hitter. He goes after the first pitch. It’s a fly ball to center. Byron Buckton is there just gliding over to his right underneath it. Makes a catch and the Giants go down in order in the first inning. So now Jordan Hicks to the mound in the bottom of the first with the Twins coming up. Nothing nothing on the K&BR Northern California Honda dealers radio network. Let’s see if you can figure out the following baseball slang term. Today’s phrase is oppo taco. Do you know what it means?

Terrams toward Lee. Buckton flying around second heading for third and he’s in there ahead of the relay of Adamus. A leadoff triple on the first pitch of the game from Jordan Hicks. And in a lot of ballparks that would have been a home run. Yeah, that was definitely uh hit well, struck well. And Buckston hustling right out of the gates like he knew it wasn’t going to be gone. A lot of ballparks this is. It hits the top of the wall and sure enough easy triple, not even close. Buckton can absolutely fly. You got the high wall in right field. It goes from the foul pole all the way out to 403. So most of right and right center is with that elevated fence and he hit a high off that big wall. Now Lick swings at the very first pitch. Man, he had a healthy hack and fouled it straight back. Yeah, two pitches and two dangerous swings right out of the gates for Hicks. And the first inning has kind of been his Achilles heel. Now a liner into left. That’s going to be a base hit. Well, that didn’t take long. Three pitches in, the Twins have a one- nothing lead. A triple and Lick singles into left. One- nothing Twins. Three pitches, just loud foul balls and big line drives. Right here, he gives him a slider kind of up over the plate. Comes inside, jams Lick just a little bit. But that’s that beautiful bat path and drives home Buckton. It is true with Jordan Hicks. Man, the the first inning has just been a nightmare. Now a swing and a miss by Ty France on a first pitch slider. It’s 0 and one. Coming into the game, Hicks’s 1286 RA in the first inning. Opponents with a 1243 OPS. Now the pitch off the outside with another slider. One and one. Yeah, I mean it’s kind of hard to explain. He He’s after the first inning, he’s been just his normal self. Here’s a lighter to first and it’s going to be a double play caught by Wade and Lick had nowhere to go. Another ball just scalded off the bat of Tai France. And yet the Giants get two outs. Yeah, that one right there. Another one. Just absolute purified BB missile right at Lamont Wade. And nothing you can do for Lick. He’s He’s just in no man’s land. And Lamont snags it. Steps on the bag. Two down. Let’s get out of this first inning. Might be the theme for the Giants. Here’s a strike with an offspe pitch over the outside. Just an interesting note. He’s allowed 10 runs in the first and then the second through the fifth combined just nine. Wow. Amazing. Now a swing by Brooks Lee and a foul off to the left out of play. Twins three pitches into the game had a run. A leadoff triple by Buckton and Lick with the base hit. Now two outs, nobody on. One- nothing here in the bottom of the first. Brooks Lee switch hitter batting left-handed against Hicks who throws and a swing and a slow ground ball towards second. Charging costs. He’s got it. Throws to first for the out. Well, maybe now Jordan Hicks will just settle in. He gives up the one in the first. And we go to the second with the Twins ahead one- nothing on the K&BR Northern California Honda dealers radio network. Take a hack at guessing which baseball player or manager said the following.

Catch the next unforgettable call on the MLB app and MLB.com. Liv Moss. Second inning. turn the page for Jordan Hicks. The the first inning for whatever reason for him has been so tough this year, but he only gives up the one. So, the Giants are down one- nothing. Giants also were a foot from having a run of their own. An overturned home run call on a foul ball off of the bat of Willie Adam. Now Matt Chapman first pitch swinging hits a popup first base side. Jeffers coming over and he will have room. the catcher in front of the rail right in front of the Twins dugout. Makes the catch and Chapman is retired on one pitch and really a nice play by Jeffers. This isn’t easy to do the Willie Mays basket catch as a catcher, but snags that one and Chapman’s retired. So here’s Wilmer Flores with one out and nobody on against Chris Paddock. He’s retired the first four. There’s a strike and done so very efficiently. Paddock getting outs and getting outs quickly. That was his 12th pitch of the game. Here’s the 01. Ground ball to third. That was pitch 13 and he’s going to get another out. Lee fields and throws across in time to get Wilmer. So two down and five in a row to start this game. Retired by Paddock. And you really got to kind of tip your cap to kind of the command. He’s just been top of the zone, inside corner, outside corner. Nothing really over the heart of the plate. So early on, good rhythm for him. Hasn’t made any mistakes yet. Paddock looking very sharp. And we know when he’s sharp, he’s got he’s still got good stuff. The pitch Elliott Ramos takes a strike. Ramos had some big hits in the series at Wrigley Field. had four hits in the wild game, including two in the 11th inning. Now a swing and a ground ball toward short. Kareah charges, has it, snaps a throw to first, just in time to get Ramos. Well, those two know each other well, and Koreah just took away a hit from Elliot. That was a nice play. So, the Giants are gone in order again. Midway through two, still one- nothing. Twins on the KMBBR Northern California Honda dealers radio network. There’s nothing better than watching the game live.

Mom, you’re number one. Mom. Ryan Jeffers, the catcher for the Twins. Bottom of the second, he’ll lead off against Hicks. One- nothing, Twins ahead. Hicks throws. Jeffers takes a little bit low with the sinker. Ball one. Jeffers pretty good all-around player. He’s good defensive catcher. He’s got some power. Right-handed hitter. The pitch. He swings and hits one on the ground to third. Chapman has it and he’ll take his time and throw all the way across to get the Okay, we found something that he doesn’t do all that well. That’s run. Jeffers not that fast. One away. Not flying down the base pass, but Chapman, you can bag that one up. Nice ground ball to him. Routine. Good play. So, here’s Carlos Koreah. And of course, the Giants and the Twins and Koreah. There’s a lot of tangled history with Kareah. The pitch, he lines this one towards right field sinking and it’s going to get down base hit. First pitch swing and Koreah has an opposite field single against Jordan Hicks. When we came here a couple years ago, and that was immediately after, you know, a few months after the Giants signed him and were ready, thought they’d signed him, agreed to a contract, were ready to have the press conference, and then the medical report came back and it it nicks the big contract and Koreah was unhappy and the Giants were unhappy and he ended up back here in Minnesota. Anyway, then a couple months later, the Giants came here and he had a huge series against the Giants. Swing and a miss. First pitch to Willie Castro. And now Korea is at first with a a base hit here in the second tonight. Maybe a little chip on his shoulder here. I’m I’m thinking there could be. Castro swings and misses. 0 and two. And now that doesn’t mean the Giants were wrong to do what they did, but I think Kareah probably will never get over that. And the Giants for they didn’t want to do it. The Giants agreed to a 13-year contract with him. They loved him. He has had a hard time staying healthy since coming to the Twins. Here’s a swing of a little comebacker. Hicks has it. He’s going to throw to second. That’s one. Adamus to first. Not in time. Well, the ball just wasn’t hit that hard and Hicks fielded it and smartly decided to go to second, but it just took too much time to get there. Adamus made a good throw back to first. Just Castro too fast. Yeah, nice clean right here. You want to get the lead runner if you can. And Hicks a lot of confidence. That’s a long throw from a pitcher throws a strike. Good clean turn. Almost gets two, but little too slow to get the speedy Willie. And it is true. We we we we shouldn’t take it for granted when any pitcher those are not normal throws for a pitcher. And that in particular was a longer one. Here’s a swing and a miss. Bader 99 mph fast. From 14 years in the outfield, I’ve seen a lot of those go. I hold my breath anytime a pitcher’s got to make an unorthodox throw. And you see it happen a lot. So, good throw, good strike, good out. Oh, one pitch. Bader takes. Wow. Called a ball right on the outside corner at 98. Right at the knees. Perfect pitch. Called the ball. That’s a tough one right there. Didn’t get the borderline call. Made a perfect pitch. It’s coming out hot though. You can see the second inning he starts warming up. Starts letting it eat a little bit. 98 sinkers runner at first, Willie Castro. One- nothing Twins. Now a slider in the dirt and a nice backhand play by Bailey. You know, you you hear fans and I understand why they ask the question like how could a pitcher struggle to throw. His whole life is throwing, but it is it’s just it’s such a different the pitcher gets so conditioned to throwing down the slope of the mound. down the slope of the mound and then you’re on flat ground and there’s guys running all over the place and it’s a different thing. It’s a completely different throw and they have these just crazy rubber bandandy arms that they’ve built up for the mound. Here’s a swing. A ground ball to short. Adamus has it. He’ll go to second with cost covering to get the force out on Castro. And Jordan Hicks despite the opposite field single from Carlos Koreah has a very nice can’t get enough baseball.

Here we are in Minnesota coming back home after this weekend series. Giants twins for some inter league play. Lamont Wade Jr. against the organization he came up with. Wade takes a strike from Chris Paddock. There’s a high strike given by our homeplayed umpire Paul Clemens. One- nothing Twins here in the third. Wade, left-handed hitter against the righty Paddock who winds and throws. And Wade, it’s a high popup foul first base. It’s going to go back into the seats. Everybody okay down there? Someone took one on the arm, but I think they’re okay. Better the arm than some other spots. No coconuts. The pitch in the dirt, bounced in front of home plate. Change up from Paddock. Lamont was drafted by the Twins. Was an outfielder really when he was coming up with Minnesota through the minor leagues and kind of steadily climbed his way up. Made his big league debut here with the Twins uniform on. Got hurt trying to make a catch out in the left field wall. There’s that chain link fence in front of the bullpens. Left center field. Now a swing and a miss. He was way out in front on that change up. Strike three. Got a finger caught in that fence when he was a real young player just coming up. He might not have perfect memories of that, but I think he comes back here. It reminds him of his first big league game. Yeah, there’s something to, you know, the team you come up with and who you were drafted by and every time you get to play against them, you have all those memories and it’s emotional for a player. Swing and a miss. Patrick Bailey on the first pitch of his at bat. One- nothing Twins here in the third. Base is empty, one out. Left-handed hitting against the righty. And he fouls this high fast ball back. It’s 0 and two. And this first time through the lineup, Paddock has been just fast balls early and then he gets the breaking stuff once he gets ahead of you. And same thing to Lamont. Same thing right here to Bailey. He’s done it to everyone. We’ll see the second time through. A lot of times they switch, but this is the game plan. So probably some breaking stuff here. O2. He exactly went with that. Not the change up, but the curve ball this time. And Bailey took it. One thing that Bob Melvin told us when we were talking to him about Patrick Bailey before the game today and how he had some better at bats at Wrigley had a real nice game on Tuesday. Less swinging and missing. One, two, he takes in the dirt and less chasing overall. Easier said than done, but that that’ll get you going. And you know, two get the two strikes. They love to throw the off speed in the dirt right there. He just took two of them. That’s a good sign. Two and two. Here it comes. Bailey strikes out swinging. That was 97. Right out over the plate, but up. Two down. Yeah. And the Giants are getting a different form of paddock than he’s thrown all season. And it’s not often you see a pitcher who averages around 94 sitting at 97 90 95s to 97s, but topper 90s. So, he’s feeling good today. Two down. Christian CS, ninth place hitter, and he takes a strike. If he can reach base, then you get back to the top of the order. Mike Cstreky, who’s out on deck. Who’s on deck? Sponsored by Timberch. Timbertech decking and railing. Everything would should be. Visit timbert.com. CS pulls one on the ground toward third. It kicks foul. Now it’s ow and two to Christian CS. He had some big hits at Wrigley for the Giants. Yeah, he had an outstanding game, Thursday, Wednesday. It was three balls hard right up the middle. 02. He strikes out here on the tighter breaking ball right on the outside corner and Paddock strikes out the side. He’s got five strikeouts first time through the order and hasn’t allowed a base runner.

From the Hawaiian Airlines broadcast booth, our leaderboard update is sponsored by Bank of America, proud sponsor of the Junior Giants, helping inspire tomorrow’s leaders on and off the field. It’s one- nothing Twins here as we go to the bottom of the third inning. Giants playing against this Twins team that has played so much better lately. The Twins got off to a terrible start to the year, but they are riding a fivegame winning streak. Here’s a called strike, a first pitch fast from Hicks. You look at the standings in the American League Central, Detroit’s 25 and 13. That’s the the the best record tied with the Dodgers of any team in baseball. Now a swing a ball just scorched by Cody Clemens fouled down the right field line. 0 and2. You got Cleveland two and a half back. Kansas City two and a half back. Kansas City’s won six in a row and I think 15 of 17 and they’re still two and a half games out. So the Twins are are kind of like the the Giants in that right now the American League Central. A lot of good teams. Yeah, they’re both the NL West and American League Central are just dominating their respective leagues. Here’s a swing and a miss on a high fast ball. 98 from Jordan Hicks. So Clemens goes down. That’s the first strikeout for Hicks. And a lot of this hot baseball, this fivegame winning streak has been on the heels of Buckton heating up. He’s got three home runs in his last four games. He just hit a laser missile off the wall in his first at bat. He’s streaky. And he comes up for the second time here. A sinker at 99 miles an hour. Called strike one. That’s pretty good pitch. Yeah, it looks like Jordan Hicks took it personal. Here’s a slider just a little bit low. And you hit Hicks hard. He he he wants to come at you. He wants to challenge you. He believes in his stuff. and he’s got some of the best stuff in all baseball. Giants are down one- nothing now. A ball that runs in at 99. Buckton spins out of the way. The the wall in right field at its highest point is 23 ft high here at Target Field. And Buckton hit it high up off that wall his first time up. Now a chopper toward short cutting over Chapman has it. Fighters to first just in time. Wow. Well, there aren’t many third baseman who get Bucks and he’s looking up at the video board and I think he’s shocked that he was out. Yeah, Buckton cannot believe it. Chapman nobody gets there quicker has a better transfer and he just has those little turbo legs and just transfer perfect. Fires a bullet. Buckton was sniffing a hit. He was grunting, grinding down the first baseline and man can he float. He cannot believe it. What a play. Classic Matt Chapman truly. So two down and here’s Trevor Lick. He swings at the first pitch, hits a ground ball to second. That was fast. CS fields, throws him out, inning over. Jordan Hicks with a little help from his defense, retires the Twins in order. Now it’s up to the Giants offense to get it going against Paddock, who’s been so sure. Great moments in baseball have been broadcast on the radio since 1921. Smith courts one in right down the line.

Mikeky in the fourth goes after the first pitch, lifts a fly ball to left. Bader going back onto the warning track in front of the wall. makes a catch and Yas is retired. So Paddock has now set down 10 Giants in a row to start this game. Twins lead one- nothing and he’s gotten 10 outs on 29 pitches. Yeah, he’s working quick filling up the strike zone early. If you swing at it, we’ve been hitting it at him and he gets the two strikes that the change up and the off speed has been working today. And that was a pretty good swing by Mike Ustreky. Hit the ball to deep left field. Here’s Willie Adamus who struck out his first time up after having a home run taken away by replay review that was just foul and he takes strike one right down the middle. Jung Hu Lee on deck. Here’s the wind up and the pitch. Adamus hits a little pop up to shallow right kind of in no man’s land. Streaking out from second base. That’s Cody Clemens with his back to the infield and he’ll catch it. Two down. Well, you’re right. Another quick inning so far. Two outs already on three pitches. The problem is, as you said, if you decide as an offense, man, we’re we’re letting this guy off the hook. We’re And then you take and he’s just throwing one strike after another. Yeah. You got to punish the strike zone. That’s not doing you any good. Jung Hu Lee takes strike one. A fast ball belt high. Lee, who had several hits taken away by the center fielder at Wrigley, Pete Crow Armstrong. Now he takes high and he comes to Minnesota and he’s got to face this outfield defense. Yeah, another one of the greater outfield defenses there. The infield of the Twins has not been as sharp, but their outfield can go get it between Bader and Buckton. Here’s a change up low. Good take by Lee. Jung-ho’s batting average is for the first time in a long time below 300. It’s at 299. And he’s been quieter at the plate despite some good at bats in the last series in Chicago. He pulls this one on the ground to first. It’s a fair ball fielded behind the bag by France. He’ll feed underhand style to Paddock. And that is now 12 in a row retired by Paddock to start this game. and without a lot of pitches thrown midway. Let’s see if you can figure out the following baseball slang term.

Here in Min Minneapolis, it’s Twins one, Giants nothing. The 21st out of the game into the top of the fourth sponsored by 21st Amendments. Hell or high watermelon wheat beer. Summer in a can. Dave Fleming, Hunter Pence here in Minneapolis on this beautiful summerlike night. It was 84 degrees at first pitch time. It’s going to settle in somewhere around like 7879. Just perfect weather for a ball game. Giants though have been shut down through four innings by Chris Paddock. They trail one- nothing. And a first pitch strike from Hicks. A sweeper to Ty France. right-handed hitter, first baseman hitting third in this Twins lineup. Brooks Lee and Ryan Jeffers will also bat in the inning. Now a slider again off the outside. One and one. Here’s the pitch. hit to center field and shallow Lee coming in and he’s just doesn’t have time to get there. He was playing deep and shaded towards right center and it lands well in front of him for a lead off bloop base hit for Tai France. Yeah, that’s that’s the definition of a CNI blooper. Jung Hu Lee kind of playing him the opposite way and Hicks beats him with a really nice slider. The stuff’s coming out of his hand. Absolutely phenomenal since the first inning. And Brance gets himself a little blooper. So we’ll see if Hicks can get a ground ball. He’s good at that with Brooks Lee at the plate. He takes off the outside 98 mph sinker. Fifth best ground ball rate for any pitcher in baseball coming into tonight. Jordan Hicks. Hicks is it’s coming out sizzling right now. He is in rhythm, holding, pitching. Lee swings and misses. Wow, that sinker diving down at 98. Yeah, just to give you some perspective, he just threw a fast ball that was about a foot below the zone and got a swing and miss. So, he’s cooking. He throws. Lee takes a little bit low. Not getting that low strike. Two and one. Giants have Chapman off the line at third. Adamus shaded up the middle. CS in a double play position. Here’s a pitch up and away. Three and one. Well, now Hicks with a runner at first for the first time in a long time. He’s been pounding the strike zone, but he’s fallen behind a hitter. Three and one. the pitch. Lee hits a ground ball toward first, but it’s going to roll foul. Stay right there. Another 99 sinker. You can tell Lee’s not comfortable with it after that first swinging miss. He He wanted to see another one. The challenge here for Hicks just get it in the zone. See if the runner at first is thinking about going. Ty France. He is not. The pitch is popped. Foul back out of play. That was 100 miles an hour with the sinker. Three and two. So Brooks Lee, he’s making Hicks work here with a runner at first and nobody out. This time the runner goes swing and a foul tip. The throw is low and it kicks away from Adamus and that means France is safe. He was going to be out by 10 ft and the throw bounced and that keeps the Giants from getting the double play. That’s too bad. Yeah, it’s a little bit of a tough one. You get the little foul tip. He gets the catch, gets the strike three and has Ty France by a long shot. Little short hop. Adamus can’t quite get the pick. if he able if he’s able to get it, he has plenty of time to make the tag, but just beats it. So, that goes down as a steal. And Bailey looked frustrated there cuz he knew he he could see how much ahead of the runner that throw was going to be. You’re right though, the foul tip could have just interrupted the rhythm of the play. Now, I sinker. Wow. Call the ball right on the outside corner. And Hicks has thrown a couple really nice ones. Really close. Borderline could be called strikes. Getting squeezed a little bit. It’s going to take a little walk around the mound. France at second. The pitch is swung on and missed. Good slider. Strike one. Well, look, it’s still only a month of baseball, but Patrick Baileyy’s framing numbers are way different than they have been in the past. And part of that may just be the strike zone has been smaller this year. Here’s a pitch up and away. And he’s been so good the last couple years of stealing strike. We’re so used to almost all those borderline pitches for Giants pitchers being called strikes. It’s almost like the umpires are like, “Hey, this guy keeps stealing more strikes than anyone. Let’s tighten up on him.” It almost feels that way. Here’s a foul down the right field line. because I think we’ve had a few games where the strike zone with Giants pitchers has been tighter it seems just going off the Stackcast strike zone than with whoever they’re playing against. Anyway, two and two with a runner at second and one out. The pitch is a ball low. Another full count here. Three and two. Carlos Koreah who has a hit in the game is on deck. Here’s a called strike three. Got the low strike this time and Jeffers really unhappy. Man, he barked at the home plate umpire with that call and he’s yelling at him as he walks back toward the dugout. And he has a case, but you know, a couple really borderline close pitches. Hicks hasn’t gotten the call. right here. His sinker, it’s it’s in the zone a long time and maybe just a tad bit beneath there to get that mad about. Jeffer’s a catcher also. You don’t want to be getting those strikes for your for your pitchers. So, as close as a as it could be, that’s too close to take. Now, a ground ball base hit into right field. France coming around third. Yostreky up with the ball. Here comes its throw. It’s cut off by Wade who’s going to run and tag Koreah. But a first pitch swing by Kareah has scored another run. Ty France is in. Kareah is two for two and the Twins get a run. But we are through four. It’s two nothing Minnesota on the K&BR Northern California Honda dealers radio network.

Giants now down two nothing after the two out base hit by Carlos Koreah and knocked in a run for the Twins. Matt Chapman takes a first pitch curve in for a strike. And the Giants meanwhile have not had a base runner yet in this game. As we start the fifth, it’s been 12 up 12 down. Retired by Paddock who’s just been awesome. Chapman hits a high-fly ball down the right field line toward the corner. Castro coming over and he will reach out and make the catch right as he crossed over into foul ground right up against the sidewall. So Chapman is retired. That’s 15 in a row to start this game as Wilmer Flores comes up. There was an interesting play, Hunter, and we didn’t have enough time. We had to go to the break that ended the the fourth inning. Runner at second, two outs, first pitch swing, ground ball to right. Ty France rounds third. Stressky up with the ball, throws toward home. Kareah had rounded first and was about halfway to second. Here’s a pitch high to Wilmer for ball one. And Lamont Wade decided to cut it off. The throw looked like a pretty good one. We don’t know if Ty France if the Giants had a real chance to get him out at the plate, but it was pretty good throw. Yeah, watching the replay and to the naked eye, it looked like there was definitely going to be a play at the plate. There’s no telling. Kind of 50/50 one of those. And you’re taught as a runner, if it’s a going to be a close play at the plate, trade the out for the run. Kareah does the right thing. He starts going to second. Uh you saw Bailey kind of jump like a little bit like he he wanted to have the chance. Do you know? You don’t know. But Lamont made Wade made the decision. Cut the ball, gets the out. Tough to say what would really happen, but getting it out is getting it out in a big league level. So, who knows? You’ll never know. Called strike to Wilmer. Now it’s one and two. And a pitch rides in. Fast ball. Two and two. Yeah, on the one hand, it’s hard to blame Wade. It’s right in front of him and he knows he can get Kareah out. It’s automatic. That’s an out if I cut this throw off. Inning over, but that also meant the Twins were going to score the run. Here’s a hard one hopper to short. Kareah’s got it. Throws to first. Two down. Meanwhile, the bigger story is the Giants offense and Chris Paddock. He’s he’s the biggest story of all. Yeah. And and he’s just been cruising and he’s got the VO up today. Everything’s kind of working his locations on and that’s probably one of the first hard hit balls right there we’ve had from Wilmer besides the foul ball home run from Adamus and and in the whole whole game so far. So he’s perfect through four and two/3. Now a swing and a ground ball to second by Ramos. Fielded there by Clemens and he throws Ramos out and man this is kind of hard to believe isn’t it? That’s five innings no base runners. Great moments in baseball have been broadcast on the radio since 1921. Smith corks one in right down the line. It may go. Go crazy, folks. Go crazy.

They were into it. Yeah. And if he does anything, the Junghoo Lee chant starts raining supreme big time. It was ringing through Wrigley Field. That was fun. Two nothing Twins. This hasn’t been quite as much fun for the Giants so far. We’re in the bottom of the fifth. Hicks throws and Willie Castro pulls this one. Foul, one ball, one strike to count. The Giants, I mean, Hicks has thrown the ball well. He gave up a run on the first three pitches of the game. And then a little unlucky with the the two hits that the Twins had in the fourth to score a run. Here’s a ball up and away. Two and one. But the Twins, give him credit. Five hits, a couple runs on the board. The the Twins starter Chris Paddock, five innings, no base runners. Perfect through five. Now a swing and a high fly to left. Ramos comes in now backs up a couple steps, just waits for it and makes the catch. One away. And I thought it was interesting. You said the the Giants expected average before the Wilmer Flores ball, which was probably the hardest hit ball all night for the Giants, was 059. So, it’s been dominant from Paddock. The night is young, but fading quickly. Yeah, it it I think that’s a good way to put it. It It’s not like he’s gotten real lucky to be perfect through five, and there are a bunch of line drives being hit all over the place. It’s been just he’s been dominant. Now, Bader takes a ball from Hicks. And to to that, five innings, 43 pitches. When’s the last time we saw that? Uh, it’s been a long time since I’ve seen that. And I mean, to his credit, he’s in the strike zone. The Giants are It’s not like they’re chasing a bunch of balls real quickly. They’re getting good pitches early. He’s challenging. It’s the stuff has just been beating the Giants today. Well, Bailey started to go out and then decided, “No, I I’m not going to.” And Baileyy’s unhappy with the home plate umpire because the umpire said, “Nope, that counts as a meeting.” And so now Baileyy’s just going to go out to the mound and use the full meeting. That’s interesting. So chatting about something, Hicks, get on the same page here. See what’s going on. Giants are down two nothing. Meanwhile, on the Toyota out of town scoreboard, the Cubs, we were talking about the series the Giants had in Chicago. Cubs are starting a three-game series in New York tonight against the Mets. And the Mets have a 61 lead in that game over the Cubs. The Mets have the same record as the Giants, 24-4. And they have the best run differential in the National League. Here’s a ball outside. 2 and 0. So that’s a big series in New York. 6-1 Mets. Phillies are playing in Cleveland. They’re down four nothing in the top of the seventh of that game. Here’s a liner into left by Bader and it’s going to get down. Base hit. Ramos was coming in and thinking about do I have a chance to lay out and then smartly decided no and just played it on a bounce. Yeah, if it carried up a little bit more, but that was just a pure line drive laser single. Nothing you can do about that even though you want to catch everything out there. So, wisely hesitates, gets the long hop, keeps him to a single. Let Jordan get you a double play. Bader has got good speed. He’s at first. And Cody Clemens, the ninth place hitter, left-handed hitter, swings at the first pitch. And it’s a foul right back towards us. But it comes up a few rows short. Otherwise, Hunter was going to make a play. I was ready. It was floating. That was one that sometimes you don’t want to make a play. That was one. We could have caught that one. That was The fan didn’t though. Did not. Unfortunate. Yeah. E fan. Here’s a ground ball foul and it’s 0 and2 also on the Toyota out of town scoreboard. Padres’s have taken a one- nothing lead in Denver against the Rockies starting that series there. It’ll be the Diamondbacks and the Dodgers later tonight in Arizona for the second game of a four-game set. Tigers won again. They beat the Rangers 2 to1 and the Pirates beat the Braves 3-2 in Pittsburgh. Now a pitch inside and it gets by Bailey and goes to the back stop. So Bader is going to move into scoring position on what probably will be ruled as a wild pitch. It was a 100 miles an hour and way in. So that takes away the double play possibility. Yeah. And Hicks just yanks this one. He’s he’s set up away. Throws it all the way in off almost hits Cody Clemens. Not sure how he got he didn’t get hit by that. One, two. Clemens takes a slider low. Two and two. Here’s the pitch. And that one does hit him way down and in with a slider. And it got him. So now the Twins have two on with one out and the top of the order coming up. So that little uncharacteristic, you know, two pitches in one at bat getting away from me. A slider right here. Maybe a timing thing. Maybe overcooking it a little bit. Catches co Cody right in the calf. That’s going to hurt. Sometimes the sliders are worse than the fast balls cuz that spin digs in. But on the bright side, double plays back in order. He had a base open. Yeah, but Hicks Hicks doesn’t look happy. And I can understand why. You get ahead 02 with that runner still at first base. You’re thinking, okay, in the driver’s seat. And now first and second, still only one out for the hottest hitter, Bri Byron Buckton, who has a triple already in the game. The pitch just outside. And another one at 100 m anph. Ball one. Tough guy to double up. Byron Buckston. But the Giants will try to turn two if they get a ground ball. Here’s a ground ball into left field. Base hit. Bader to third. And the ball’s overrun by Ramos. He had stopped. Bader had. And then Ramos didn’t field it cleanly. And so then the change of the plan at third base. Bader breaks for home and scores. It’s three nothing Twins. Yeah. And for Ramos right here is little front door slider and Buckston just stays hot. Shoots this one hard through the 5.5 hole as we said. And Ramos just coming in. He’s full full send. This is full send. And they held him up wisely. But once the ball gets by him, they’re going to send him on home and just kicks it. So that that I’m I would think that has to be an error against Ramos. Now a swing and a miss by Lick cuz the third base coach had stopped Bader and he had stopped. He put on the brakes. Yeah, that’s that’s going to end up being an an air on on Ramos for sure. Still only one out now. Three nothing Twins and a ball down and in with a slider. So they will give the hit, the error. No run batted in for Buckton. Twins now have seven hits though the pitch. That one is in for a strike on the inside. One and two. And all the while Chris Paddock is sitting in that dugout and probably starting to think about what he’s got going on. Here’s a splitter. We haven’t seen many of those at all in the dirt. I mean, that that’s one of the few we’ve seen. And you start getting this deep with a no hitterp game, and there’s nobody talking to him. He’s the sheriff looks like he’s gotten into his zone. He’s got a little grumpy face going. All the deputies are out of the office. Here’s a called strike three on the inside. Two down. Now it’s Lukak’s turn to be unhappy. And this is just as nasty of a pitch as you can throw. when he dials it in. This 99 running back is front door by front door starts in off the plate and comes back on and just nibbles the bottom inside as perfect perfect of a pitch as you could possibly throw. And it is a strike. Wow, what a pitch. Two down, fourth strikeout for Hicks. And Ty France, who has lined out and singled, comes up for the third time. He takes strike one. That one at 101 miles an hour. And I’m not sure if the radar gun is heated up, but everyone’s throwing fuel. Maybe it’s the weather temperature heating up. Both pitchers. Here’s the pitch in the dirt. It kicks away from Bailey. And that’s going to advance both runners. Bailey comes skidding over and did a nice job. That ball was threatening to roll into the Giants dugout. And the two twins runners were hustling. If Clemens had come around third and that ball got out of play, that could have been a disaster. Yeah. And and just he’s either like pinpoint right on or a couple of these he’s just pulling glove side. So I don’t know if that’s something mechanically. It seems like typically if you’ve yanked out that many in in one inning, something’s flying open. Those were big misses. Here’s a slider well off the outside. Now, if you miss again, it’s going to be a run cuz he got second and third with two outs. And a two ball, one strike count to Ty France. The pitch, swing, and a high popup shallow right center. Yustreky calls off cost and makes the catch for out number three. Twins do get another run though and we will go to the sixth inning just as the Giants bullpen started. All the big hits. Got the wall gone. No doubt about it. All the great grabs. Oh wow. You got to be kidding me. Put a cape on them. And all the swagger. And he does it in grand fashion.

Get tickets at sfgiants.com/promotions. As we come to you live from the Hawaiian Airlines broadcast booth, a big story here in Minnesota. Lamont Wade Jr. swings and misses at a first pitch fast from Chris Paddock. Twins lead three nothing. That’s not the story. The big story is we’re now in the sixth inning and the Giants don’t have a base runner. Five perfect from Paddock. Wade takes strike two. Fast right on the inside corner and it’s quickly 0 and two. Yeah. 14 of 16 batters faced. First pitch strikes and they’re in the zone. That might have been the first chase out of the zone. Here’s the O2. Wade takes high. He’s only thrown That was his 45th pitch of the game. 35 of them have been strikes. Yeah, it’s it’s not been out of the zone. He’s just been attacking the zone. Oppressive within the strike zone tonight. One, two. Wade takes low. Wow. Fast ball just a little bit down. Two and two. I’m sure Jeffers who was unhappy. He got called out on a low pitch when he was a hitter. Yep. Just below the zone. He’s definitely not happy. And the tension on every pitch when you’re this deep with a perfect game. It gets bigger and bigger. Jeffers is trying to frame all of these. This one just a little bit above. He is ripping them back down into the strike zone. That pitch missed. So now it’s three and two. Full count for the first time. The pitch. Wade hits a highf fly ball to shallow right. He got jammed. Castro coming in and he’ll catch it for out number one. Well, it was kind of borderline, but I think it was a strike and just kind of a perfect pitch on 3-2 to get Wade. Yeah, Wade did what Wade does. He takes good swings at good pitches and this one was a, you know, with two strikes he got a battle and that one was in the zone. Paddock didn’t think about it either. A lot of times with the perfect game on hand, you get three balls for the first time. You you think about it this deep. Yeah, that’s what I mean really. That’s what makes the perfect game so special. Patrick Bailey way late because he swings and misses at a high fast ball. Strike one. It it your defense has to be perfect. You can’t hit anybody. You can’t walk anybody. There is zero margin for error. the pitch. Bailey takes this one low. And it it’s still it’s getting late, but there hasn’t been like a defensive spectacular play. It’s just been pretty easy outs. Here’s the 1-1 in the dirt. Most perfect games you there’s at least one play when you think back on it that that saved the perfect game. There’s a defensive highlight. Matt Kanees, you think Gregor Blanco. Incredible. Two-1 pitch. Bailey hits a soft fly ball into shallow left field, but not that shallow. Hangs up there. Buckton over and he catches it. Two down. I think there’s one no hitter all time that there was no like defensive highlight that I’ve ever witnessed or or even heard about. But Lensome against the Padres’s at home, it literally was just a bunch of routine plays and just pure domination. It’s kind of similar right now so far. So, we’re two outs in the six. Christian Cost comes up and he swings through a high slider, chased up. Strike one. Five strikeouts. Paddock hasn’t struck anybody out since the third inning. 17 in a row. Retired now. A liner into right center field. And there goes the perfect game. Christian CS with a two out single here in the sixth. And there’s your first hit for the Giants. Twins fans are going to stand up here at Target Field and give a big ovation. They were thinking like we were. There was a chance for something real special tonight. The way this game was going to cost with a beautiful swing with the pitch count as low as it was. Absolutely. And very similar to what costs did his last game in Wrigley. Just another bullet up the middle. It’s nice to see him getting dialed in and comfortable. Two outs, runner at first. Yreky for the third time. Yas has good career numbers against Paddock. He takes this one in there for a strike. A curveball. Christian CS hit that ball 107 mph. Yeah. And low liner right up the middle. Oh, and one the count. Here’s the pitch way inside. Yaz jumps back out of the way. Now the Giants are down three nothing. The one thing about a perfect game attempt, a no hitter attempt, is when that goes by the wayside, I mean, that pitcher there almost inevitably is some sort of let down, distraction, whatever. Here’s the pitch. Yreky hits a fly ball to left, carrying Bader back onto the warning track to make the catch. Out number three. Just not hit hard enough for Yaz. So, for now, it’s just the one hit and that’s it. Still dominance from Paddock. Let’s see if you can figure out the following baseball slang term. Today’s phrase is oppo taco. Do you know what it means? Oppo taco. A home run hit to the opposite field. Austin Hayes with an oppo taco. His 13th and it’s a one-run game.

Here’s a swing and a miss by Brooks Lee off of Jordan Hicks. Bottom six, the game’s not over. It’s a three-run deficit. Three nothing Twins. Christian CS gets that first Giants hit. Here’s a drive down the right field line. Lee hooked it and it’s hooking foul. What a beautiful night. It’s twilight time now. The sun, I think, has gone down behind us. You can see the It’s not a full moon, but a very bright moon up above. Still bright sort of twilight kind of skies. Almost no wind. Here’s a foul and that got the umpire. Wow. Hopefully Paul Clemens is all right. That got him. He was staggered. Hit him on the mask. And Patrick Bailey is asking for the trainers to come out. He’s shaking a little bit, squinting, get a little time, check in on him. That one got him square. I mean, he really he’s saying he’s okay, but he’s acting like he got punched in the face. Yep. And and you pretty much did. This is like mini car accident and caught him at a crazy angle. You see just the ricochet of the face mask shattering and it didn’t shatter, but rattling is the better word. And he was he almost went down. That’s Yeah, he did almost fall, but he he stands up and he kind of he’s kind of like, I’m okay. I’m okay. Got his bell rung a little bit now. He’s coming too. Well, they’re definitely going to going to check him. And you see the crew chiefs take charge on these kind of plays, too. Umpires are trying to be much more mindful of this. Not trying to tough it out cuz it can it can spiral quickly. You can’t tough out a concussion. You can’t do it. Yep. And he he was laughing a little bit. Adrian must have said something and smiling. He’s back. And sometimes you just need a second after you get your bell rung. And hopefully he’s okay. But they’ll stay on it. Yeah. We’ll keep our eyes on Paul Clemens. That one got him good. 0 and2 to the Twins leadoff hitter in this bottom six. Brooks Lee. Jordan Hicks throws and he struck him out swinging with a nasty slider and right off the gates first batter in the six. And Jordan right there just looked right back in rhythm. whatever happened in between innings. Uh that’s that perfect slider strike to ball and really attacked Brooks Lee with uh with some dynamite stuff. Now a called strike with a 97 mph sinker. That was pitch number 72 for Jordan Hicks. He’s been efficient. I mean this another night I says three runs, seven hits. Jordan Hicks is throwing the ball well. Yeah, strike for 0 and2. Besides the first, like nothing really hard hit, just a couple CNI singles that came together at the right time, but it has been electric stuff from Jordan Hicks. Now, a foul. I mean, if and I’m not blaming Patrick Bailey. It’s never an easy play. There was a foul tip, but he had Ty France out by a lot and he bounced the throw. If the throw was a normal Patrick Bailey throw, they don’t score in the fourth inning. in the fifth inning. If Ramos doesn’t overrun the ball, who knows how it plays out. Maybe they don’t score in that inning either. So, here’s a ball low. Hicks just is not getting the most out of his stuff right now. I’m sure it’s frustrating for him. And even still, he’s he’s still having the the kind of outing that gives your ch your team the chance to win. His stuff is is so fun to watch. Strike three called. I mean, speaking of, that’s 99 with sinker movement coming back onto the outside corner. I mean, just just absolute worth the price of admission to watch those sinkers. And it’s it’s the best in the world right there when he when he locks in that that sinker. And I I don’t even know what the hitters are seeing, but they they know they have no shot of swinging. They’re hoping it’s a ball. 99 down and away. Off the plate, back on. That was an unhitable pitch. Here’s a ball inside to Carlos Kareah. He’s been a lot of ways he’s been the key hitter for the Twins. He certainly was in the fourth inning when he just bounced a little ground ball into right field. 20 hopper dribbler and it got a run home. Now he takes a strike on the inside. He’s two for two with an RBI. And it’s it’s kind of funny to watch the reaction of the hitters cuz it’s in this the K zone, but it’s just so nasty. They can’t believe it’s a strike. Here he swings and chops one softly charging. Chapman has it. Throws to first. got him at first. I mean, I’m out of words. He’s just amazing. Matt Chapman, he makes plays that nobody Great moments in baseball have been broadcast on the radio since 1921. Smith Corks went into right down the line. It may go. Go crazy, folks. Go crazy.

Ready to elevate your weekend, experience thrilling gaming action and unmatched luxury at Cash Creek Casino Resort. Your ultimate getaway is just a short drive away. Well, Giants offense running out of time, down three nothing. Will Adam takes strike one. And that’s been the story of the game. Strike one, strike two. Chris Paddock has been in control from the very first pitch of the game. Only one base runner, one hit. Adamus hits a popup. Foul first base side. Jeffers over in front of the dugout and he’ll lean in and make the catch right along the rail. And for as casual as he went over to it, he caught this ball almost over the dugout. A pretty spectacular catch, but it just the body control, the poise, and this is the second one he’s made kind of Willie May style over his head calling it off. That’s a spectacular play from Jeffers. Catchers you don’t see running him down like that. He’s good player. Now Jung-H Lee with one out and nobody on. Adamos for three. Here’s a ball to Lee off the outside. The other thing about Paddock is I mean that was that was his 60th pitch of the game. 60. And we’re in the seventh inning. So he’s been less than 10 pitches an inning which is unheard of. High curve ball and called a strike. So it’s one and one. Kyle Harrison is up in the Giants bullpen. Lee hits one foul down off his foot. A low breaking ball. Ouch. Jung Huli about time for him to heat up again. I mean, part of why his numbers are down. He We just had a series at Wrigley where he could have had a monster series. Yeah, he got about four hits taken away. Crushing it into the wind as well. One, two. He fouls this one off. Three nothing Twins here in the top of the seventh as we come to you live from our Hawaiian Airlines broadcast booth. Chris Paddock just in an unbelievable rhythm. Here’s his one-two. Lee takes high. Two and two. The only hit and the only base runner at Christian C line drive single. There was nothing cheap about his hit either. No, it was nothing you can do about that. Lee on the ground toward third but playing way off the line to backhand it is Brooks Lee and he throws out Jung Hu. Two down. Almost beat the defense there but no. And for Paddock you wonder after you give up the hit, are they going to break? Uh maybe open the floodgates a little bit but still kind of the same stuff just attacking the zone and Giants hitters not really seeing it too well. And now Matt Chapman, the pitch off the outside. Ball one with Kyle Harrison. We we mentioned he was up and getting ready. That probably means that Jordan Hicks is done for the night. Here it comes. Chapman. It’s a high drive left field backer and gone. Matt Chapman puts the Giants on the board. His eighth home run of the year. This game is not over. It’s 3 to one Twins in the seventh. 107.5 418 ft. Absolute no doubter. And for for Pat Paddock, it’s the first time he two two hitters in a row he threw ball one. Get to a one count. Gets to sit on his pitch and Chapman punishes it. So now, like we were just saying, you know, is he going to break after the hit here in the seventh? Now they got to run. Yeah. And and look, I Here’s Wilmer. He takes strike one. It’s two outs, nobody on. It’s only the one run. But I do think you you made a good point there. Cost got the hit and then Yusky made the quick out. But for the first time a few Giants hitters at least getting ahead in the count. Now Wilmer has a good swing and fouls it back. So we’ll see. Paddock this it’s been a long time. He hadn’t got an out in the sixth inning all year. Giants been a good come from behind team this season. Now Wilmer asks for time. Anyway, just put a little more pressure on him and see what happens. Yeah, leave him in there a little too long. First uh first you get the base runner, then you get the run, then you get the lead. Now he misses outside. One and two. Nobody warming up in the Twins bullpen either. So little sneak attack. Wilmer Flores waiting. You got Ramos on deck. The pitch. Wilmer fights this one off foul. That was a fast ball out over the plate and he was a little late. Still one and two. Flores strikes out swinging. Wow. Fast right in under his hands. for out number three. Matt Chapman does put the Giants on the board though with a solo home run. His team leading eighth of the year. Seventh inning stretch time in Minneapolis. 3-1 Twins. Let’s see if you can figure out the following baseball slang term. Today’s phrase is oppo taco. Do you know what it means? Oppo taco. A home run hit to the opposite field.

I mean, it was a great game. Both teams played incredible. It was a great game. That’s Mike Piaza after he hit an eighth inning go-ahad home run in the first New York Mets home game after 9/11. Hear moments like this and more on the MLB app and MLB.com. Well, the call of the game sponsored by Ring Central, AI first communications you can trust. We’ll give it to Matt Chapman and his home run, putting the Giants in the run column for the first time. They’re still down three to one. But as we go to the bottom of the seventh inning, the game’s not over despite the pure dominance of the Twin starter Chris Paddock. Only two hits allowed, including that Chapman home run. So, we’ll make that the call of the game. By the way, on the Toyota out of town scoreboard, they’re in the bottom of the fourth in Denver. 5-1 Padres’s over the Rockies as Kyle Harrison takes over in his first pitch. Fast ball is swung on and missed by Willie Castro. Strike one. And for Harrison, this is his second outing of the year. His first outing, two strikeouts in one inning against the Cubs. Looked outstanding. And coming out of the bullpen for the first time, fastball slider does have a change up and a sinker, but so far just fast ball slider from the bullpen. for a fast ball up there. Check swing and no swing. Now he comes back with another fast ball and it’s hit fouled down the right field line. One and two. Well, he was I mean lighting up the radar gun the other night at Wrigley when he made his first major league appearance of the year cleaning up the end of that crazy extra inning game. He pitched the bottom of the 11th and got three outs, got two strikeouts, was throwing 97. One, two. Here’s a fast ball just up and outside. Two and two. And really the VO is great, but the angle that he’s creating right now, it just looks like the the Kyle Harrison that came up early in his career and just kind of that crossfire rise ball now. A foul high fast ball. Castro got a piece. Well, it was it was very encouraging and and that’s what he was doing down at Triple A. Harrison who built up his strength after a slow start in spring training. He was dominating at TripleA. He strikes out Castro swinging with a 96 mph fast ball. And that’s his third strike out in four batters face so far this season. So the domination continues. It’s it’s a short it’s a small sample size, but the hitters are not looking like they’re on it to say the least. There’s Harrison Bader. He had us a hit and a run scored tonight. He takes a slider down and in for ball one. Peter’s saying he got hit. You can’t fib about that anymore cuz there’s replay. I know. That’s why it doesn’t make much sense. Maybe maybe the air it was coming in so hot. He he felt the wind. Maybe. So it brushed his pant leg, although he wears his pants pretty tight. Not a lot of loose fabric. He’s a tight pant guy. 10. That one’s a strike. He threw another breaking ball. Harrison did. The count is one and one. Royce Lewis is out on deck as a possible pinch hitter. Here’s a ball. Fast ball away. Two and one. They are underway in Arizona. Dodgers Diamondbacks tonight. The pitch low. Just getting started in that one. It is Eduardo Rodriguez for the Diamondbacks and Roki Sasaki for the Dodgers. The pitch, swing, and a miss. Fast ball blew it by him. Three and two. It’s a fast ball count. He throws a fast ball to a good fast ball hitter and it’s it’s down the middle. It’s top of the zone, but he can just rear back and beat big league hitters. 3-2 is fouled back. He went with the fast ball away. Bader fought it off. 3-2 fouled. He threw the slider. Kind of left it up a little bit, but Bader was off balance. This just is uh Bader fouling off some tough pitches. Harrison just rearing back, letting it rip. This is just monoemano chalange. One out, nobody on. Giants are down 3-1. Bottom seven. Kyle Harrison the pitch who just missed inside ball four. So that’s a walk. Bader is aboard and it brings up pinch hitter Royce Lewis. Still six to1 Mets in the bottom of the eighth in New York against the Cubs. How about the Red Sox and the Royals? No score ninth inning in Kansas City. Maybe Chris Paddock is pitching for both teams in that one. Here’s Royce Lewis just off the injured list. Harrison throws to first and Harrison Bader gets back to the bag standing. The Toyota out of town scoreboard. Toyota. Let’s go places. Lewis when he’s healthy, he’s great. Big time power. The pitch. There goes Bader running. taken. Baileyy’s throw. Tag. He is safe and not by much. Real close. Good jump for Bader. Bailey made a good throw. Quick tag by cost. Giants are asking for a minute to look at it with the replay room and they will not challenge. Yeah, Bader had just absolutely first move and Kyle Harrison with the big leg kick. Bailey made a crazy good throw and he has such a wild quick release to even have it be close. Bader’s dancing around away from second. Now a swing and a foul off to the right. Out of play. It’s one and one. Well, the Giants down 3-1. That’s big extra run out there at second with one out as Breeze starts to kick up for the first time. The pitch, swing, and a miss. Fast ball. One to two. There’s been almost no wind whatsoever in this game. Now, at least we can feel it in our faces here. The flags are kind of swirling around. Here’s the pitch. Fouled back. Another high fast ball. This one at 97. This is one of those parts where the wind might come in from left and maybe knock a ball down headed to left field, but it could hit where we’re sitting and kind of ricochet back out and maybe give a ball a push out to right field. The swirlies of what it’s ricocheting off of. Here’s a foul back out of play. You look you look to left and then the flags are blowing in. You look to right, they’re blowing out. What’s it doing? And it is it’s part of playing in these big big league ballparks. Kyle Harrison comes set and kicks and looks back to second. He’s actually going to make the throw. Bader was all the way back on the bag. So, not a close play. It’s been interesting. The two minor league parks that for different reasons are being used this year in Tampa and in Sacramento. and they’ve already looked at all the wind and the wind has been crazy at those places. Here’s a called strike three fast ball and he got Lewis looking for out number two. And the the the thinking is well you don’t have the big upper deck on those minor league parks. So the wind is just more true. You don’t get the the boomerang effect, the swirling effects. It’s a real thing. And you know, you you mess with like the wind walls or or even like like hitting it towards the scoreboard like her did in the Cubs series where wind was blowing in 27 mph, but you hit it through the scoreboard and it doesn’t affect it at all. So the stadiums have an impact getting to know this is where like there’s a home field advantage as well is understanding the rhythms of each ballpark. Intentional walk given to Byron Buckston. So it’ll be left on left. Lo takes. Wow. right on the outside corner. Call the ball. So, two on, two out. A rare intentional walk. Giants don’t do that all that often, but makes sense with Buckton. 3-1 Twins. Bottom seven. Two on, two out. Harrison pitches and a broken bat foul. Man, that bat just exploded. Strike one. Yeah, that is just uh the inside heater getting to you. Lick is pretty good at inside heaters as well, but Harrison 97 just shatters his back. Going to get a new new piece of lumber. Let it cook, big man. One ball, one strike to count. Here’s the pitch. Slider down and away. Two and one. 21,744. Not not by the number of huge crowd, but it’s a nice crowd. Place looks pretty full. Weather heating up. Fans are coming now. Here’s a ground ball to second. CS has it and he’ll take his time and throw out Lick for out number three. So Harrison works around a couple walks, one of them intentional, gets two strikeouts and pitches a scoreless inning. On to the Let’s see if you can figure out the following baseball slang term. Today’s phrase is oppo taco. Do you know what it means? Oppo Taco, a home run hit to the opposite field. Austin Hayes with an oppo taco. His 13th and it’s a one-run game.

The Twins are the team that the Giants are playing tonight here in Minnesota. And uh Deshawn Kery is now in Well, they say he’s in right field, but I don’t think Is that right? I guess he is. Here’s a curveball to Elliot Ramos. There’s a new right fielder for the Twins and Willie Castro’s come in to play second base. So Kirsty out at right. Castro at second. 3-1 Twins. Eighth inning. Ramos waiting for the pitch from the starter. Paddock still in the game. And it’s another breaking ball in for strike two. So Elliott quickly behind in the count 0 and two. He’s grounded out twice in the game. Twins bullpen is working. The pitch high with a fast ball. Varin the right-hander, Koulom the left-hander are both getting loose in that Minnesota bullpen. Here’s the pitch high. Two and two. Another fast ball that missed up for Paddock. Pitch count’s still low, but the command is you’re starting to see him lose a little bit of that sharpness. Is 2-2. Ramos lines it out into left center field. That’s a base hit. Man, he hit that hard. Buckton over to scoop it up and that’ll hold Elliot to a leadoff single. And now for Roco Baldelli, the manager of the Twins. He’s sending the catcher out for a conference. That that may be enough for him. I mean, it’s amazing. That’s only the third hit that Paddock has allowed. He hasn’t allowed any other base runners. He’s been totally dominant and he’s thrown 77 pitches, but that could be it for him. Yeah. And you know, you can see the command. No, but he’s he’s going to Well, they’re going to go talk to him. They’re going to let Lamont get in the box. They’re they’re delaying as much as they can. The bullpen is warm. So, that probably is going to be it for him. I’ll be surprised. Ryan Jeffers, we got a camera shot of Roco Baldelli giving the universal sign for go talk. You know, flap your your hands together like it’s your lips flapping. And Ryan Jeffers, he doesn’t speak that kind of language, I guess. and finally got the word that okay, I’m supposed to go out there and visit now. He’ll come all the way back. And we’ll see whether that’s it or whether Paddock gets one more hitter. And that was just a stall tactic for now. Looks like he gets Lamont Wade Jr. That’s a surprise. First pitch to Lamont. Here it comes off the inside. Ball one. This is a big big at bat for Wade because you know that part of the calculus here is they don’t want Bailey to hit left-handed. They’d rather Patrick Bailey hit right-handed. So you had the lefty Koul. Want to know the count to Lamont Wade Jr. Runner at first, nobody out, and he takes off the inside. If he walks, I know it’s the eighth inning. It would be unconventional, but at least if you had two on nobody out and the pitching change came, Bailey would have the option of bunting to put the tying run in scoring position. Two and0. Wade takes a strike, high fast ball. Two and one. And and just with the the command how hard Ramos hit the ball the last two innings, the Giants have been getting a lot better contact off of him. You get the lefty lefty matchup if you bring in Colom. So big opportunity here for Lamont. Two and one. Yeah, exactly. I mean, it’s not just that you’re looking for a walk. You’re not up there passively. You’re thinking, “Okay, now we’re finally getting off some good swings against this guy.” You have a lefty against righty matchup here. Wade is 0 for two with a strikeout. 3-1 Twins in the eighth. The pitch that is high and it’s three and one. And this is where Lamont is so good. He’s very picky even in a 3-1 count. Here’s the set and the pitch. Wade hits a high-fly ball to right field and the new right fielder back onto the warning track in front of that big wall with room to make the catch. That’s Kersy. Wave might have just missed that one. Out number one. And here comes Roco Baldelli. So with one out and Ramos at first, I would think a real big chance. Well, no, he points to the right-hander. So they’re going to let Bailey hit left-handed. Most teams will make the opposite move. Paddock is going to get a big ovation from Twins fans. And he earned it tonight. Man, did he pitch well. One of the best starts probably that he’s ever had. And the Twins fans getting up on their feet, letting them know they appreciate the Every game night is a chance to go big with MLB Big Inning Slam.

Oppo Taco, a home run hit to the opposite field. Austin Hayes with an oppo taco. His 13th and it’s a one-run game. Expand your vocabulary by listening to every game on the MLB app and MLB.com. Dominant for most of this start. Chris Paddock. Taking a look at the the pitch arsenal here though for Barlin. Not to cut you off there. Nice for this kind of strikeout rate. He’s got the four seamer knuckle curve change up sinker slider. Runs it up 98 99 miles an hour. So big powerful right-handed arm here. Bailey 0 for two but batting left-handed. He fouls the first pitch. Had a good cut out of Man, that fast ball was right right out over the plate at 97. Strike one. He was ready to swing. Yeah, I mean fast ball down the middle. No freebies and just missed his pitch. He’ll want that one back. Oh and one the pitch off the outside at 99 miles an hour. One and one. Well, for all the dominance of Paddock, the Giants Bailey gets into one and he’s due. Patrick has not hit a home run yet this year. The Giants could tie the game with one swing and it’s coming soon. Bailey swings and misses. May chase there. It was close but off the outside one and two. See if he shortens up just a little bit. No home runs. A 190 batting average. 3-1 Twins the pitch. He hits a high fly ball. Not deep left field. Bader coming in. His hat flies off and he’ll make the catch in shallow left. That’s out number two. And this one coming in at 100 miles an hour. So everyone’s throwing a tick up today here in Minnesota. So two down. CS will be the hitter. Ryan Jeffers comes out in front of the plate and gives some defensive signs. No Havislaw mound visit though. I think we missed that one when they stalled for time. So the Havslaw mound visit was a few minutes ago. Not this time. CS who has a hit tonight. He takes this one off the inside ball one. That was the one that broke up the perfect game with two outs in the sixth inning. Kind of gave the Giants a new lease on life in this game. Yeah. Got everyone a little bit more relaxed. Chapman broke up in the runs with the homer, but Cost another bullet. He’s been locked in last two games. Wow. Extraordinarily delayed strike call. It was a strike. Pitch was over the outside. Just took Paul Clemens home and blade umpire a minute to pull the trigger. One and one to CS. Yeah, he’s been hitting the ball hard back at Wrigleyfield. And here again tonight the pitch. He bounces this one. Not hit hard to short. Kareah’s got it. Flips to second in time to force out Elliot Ramos. And that’s it. The Giants get the one leadoff hit, but they do not score. Midway through eight, 3-1 Twins on the K&BR Northern California Honda dealers radio network. When you’ve been injured, hiring the right.

MLB Network Strike Zone Wednesday and Friday nights all season. Back out for a second inning at work. Indeed he does. Dave Fleming Hunter Pence at beautiful Target Field. You got a chance to play here in your career. Oh yeah. He played in both the Metrodome and Target Field. Here’s a slider in for a strike to tie France from Kyle Harrison. It really is a beautiful ballpark. Kind of amazing how they just built it in the middle of the city as well. It it it feels like it dropped right in between some buildings and parking lots. Here’s a swing and a miss. Strike two. They wedged it in here. The pitch. Swing and a miss. Strike three. A high fast ball. Man, Kyle Harrison, that’s a good hitter. Ty France hitting third and he just blew him away. Yeah, there’s no one has quite been on that fast ball just yet. It’s just Kyle Harrison’s fast ball’s built different right now. And he’s got the leg kick swinging and it is coming in hot. Now a called strike. A little back door slider. That’s a nice sign for Kyle cuz we’ve seen him a lot of innings for Kyle Harrison at the big league level. The pitch, another slider. That one line to left. Here comes Ramos to make the catch. Two down. Kind of hung that one but got away with it. But it is important for him. He’s never I don’t think he’s ever fully established the secondary stuff as consistent quality pitches. And maybe that’s kind of the final step for Kyle to really become a an elite big leager. Yeah, adding that to that, the fast ball. The fast ball will carry him and right now it’s just overpowering. He can tell you it’s coming. But once he dials in some secondary pitches to work off of it that he’s comfortable and can command, that’s that’s that next tier. Ball one to the catcher Jeffers. Now a slider bounced in the dirt. Two and0 the count to Jeffers who is 0 for three tonight. The pitch off the outside. Three and0. Jordan Hicks went six, gave up seven hits, three runs, no walks, six strikeouts. Threw the ball overall well. Very well. Quality start. Some un unfortunate two two of the runs pretty unfortunate. The first run in the first inning. Uh that was some blast. But beyond that, he was pretty dominant, pretty filthy. Here’s ball four. A fast ball misses high. So Harrison issues a four pitch walk. The walks have always been a weakness for Harrison with his brilliant stuff and his great pedigree. Here’s Koreah. Runner at first. Two down the pitch. Swing and a miss. Fast ball. Strike one. Carlos Koreah. two for three tonight. Couple of singles and a run batted in. Here’s the pitch. Fouled off to the right. 0 and two. Korea. That RBI hit was almost Wilmer Flores like just use the open right side. Two outs. Runner in scoring position. Veteran hitters, they they understand the RBI situations. Just a soft contact to right is the high percentage, high leverage chance to drive in a run. 02 up and away. Not close at 98 mph. And Car came into this at bat noticing that nobody’s hitting his fast ball. It looked like he was cheating for it. And still better foul balls than anyone else, but still late. Two outs runner at first. Giants down to their final three outs of life on offense. They trail three to one. Here’s the pitch. It is low. The closer for the Twins is, I mean, they have a good closer. Johan Durant is a just a kind of a beast. He throws really hard. He’s worked two games in a row. They didn’t have an off day yesterday. He He is likely not going to pitch tonight. Here’s a ground ball to short. Hard hit. Adamus feels it cleanly and from his knees. He flips to CS covering at second. Out number three for Kyle Harrison. That’s a couple of scoreless innings of relief. We’ll see which pitcher maybe. Your day in baseball starts with MLB Central. Let’s get it started. Lead off your morning with in-depth breakdowns.

Ninth inning, last chance for the Giants. They are down three to one. And without Johan Duran available tonight, it’s going to be the left-hander Daniel Kulom out of the Twins bullpen to face the top of the order. We’re going to have a pinch hitter Machos then Adamos and Lee against the lefty Koulom. Yeah, and Koulom has been flawless through 14 and a third and surrendering no earned runs. 15 strikeouts, just one walk. He doesn’t really overpower you, but everything else he’s kind of a 3020 2020 20 guy. 30% cutters, 20% sinker, 20% force, 20% sweeper, and a 5% knuckle curve. So he’s going to catch and sink you, cut, sink, mix and match. Before we even have a pitch thrown, we have a Havislaw mound visit because of the pinch hitter MTOS. So Ryan Jeffers runs out, uses a visit with Koulom just to remind him of the scouting report. Mtos hitting for Ystreky trying to spark the Giants here in the ninth inning. They’re down three to one. Koulom the left-hander ready and his first pitch on the way is off the inside with a fast ball one. Luis Matoss who has had some good swings lately and has been hitting the ball with some power. The pitch he takes and that one is in there for a strike. That’s the 86 mph. I guess that’s a cutter. That’s the cutter. Little cutter. That’s his his bread and butter. One and one to Matoss. The pitch fouled back. A high fast ball and that one got the umpire man. And he he says fine, but that’s a little scary. Paul Clemens has taken two tonight. Yeah, Paul Clemens gives a thumbs up right away. This one didn’t knock him over. Looking sharp, looking strong. Still checking. Jeffers chatting him up a bit. So now one and two to Moss. Adamos waiting on deck. Koul the left-hander set at the belt. Here’s his pitch. Mto strikes out swinging. That was the cutter and he got it down and in under the hands for strike three. And you know you’re wondering someone who’s not overpowering you. Just the perfect location of this cutter right on that inside corner. Takes a absolute perfect swing to fight that one off. Makes a good pitch. Beats MTOS. So one out. He is amazing. This guy Daniel Cooling. He’s been around for a while. Never been overpowering. Here’s a strike. Got the low strike to Adam who isn’t happy about that one. 0 and one now. Adamus, he he was still upset and he uses his time out just to take a little walk and try to clear his head. One strike the count to Adamus. Ninth inning. I foul. He fouled it down off his foot. Adamus did. And that one hurt. 0 and two. Kulom’s 35 years old, so he’s been around a long time and he’s never been better. Came up in 2014 with the Dodgers first year as big leaguer. As Adamus is walking around, they show the replay here. He hit it off the top of his knee. Oh, I said foot. No, that’s worse. Ouch. 0 and two. Jung Hu Lee on deck. The pitch. They swing on a miss. Man, he just totally fooled Adamus with a slider. Strike three. The Giants are down to their final out. See if Jung-H Lee can keep the game going to give Matt Chapman a shot. And they’re going to need it. They’re going to need Junghoo to heat up right here. Get on base. Chapman’s already got a homer. So you put the tying run on on base. That’s uh that’s the task at hand. First pitch, Lee pulls it sharply. Foul right over the head of Mark Hallberg. Strike one. Correction is three to one Minnesota to put the tying run up to the plate. That’s what the Giants are hoping for. Keep the game alive. Get Chapman up there where he could tie it with one swing. He’s got the one run on the board. Chapman his solo home run. The pitch. Lee hits a fly ball to left. That should do it. Bader over underneath it. Harrison Bader makes a catch. Twins win their sixth in a row. They take game one of this series over the Giants. Twins are playing their best ball of the year. And tonight it was all about their pitching. Chris Paddock was amazing. Yeah. And it it seemed like, you know, he hasn’t had a victory yet. 0 and three. Not not great numbers, but it seemed like he took that personal. He came out, he was oppressive in the strike zone, the fast ball with about 2 three miles an hour. Over overticked from his usual and he was commanding it. He was overpowering. He was working quick and gave the Twins a great opportunity to win a ball game. Final score, Twins three, Giants won.
