🔴LIVE 🔴Houston Astros vs Oakland Athletics – June 16, 2025 | Envivo | MLB The Show 25
and welcome into the ballpark happy to have you with us an ALO matchup on the show it’s the Houston Astros taking on the Athletics and now please welcome your first pitch coming your way next Athletics just about set and on the hill today Luis Severino but Chris he hasn’t exactly been stellar here on his home mount well I’ll say this every player wants to perform well at their home ballpark in front of their fans in front of the city and you know this guy no different he wants to be more effective here so you know you look at the numbers they haven’t been great at home i’m sure he wants to turn that around and we’ll see if he’s able to start that in this one ready to go and stepping in for the Astros jeremy Pñena [Applause] swing and a ball lifted in the air no trouble here puts it away for the out and there’s one down now we check out the Astros lineup this lineup has the benefit of playing behind a great pitching staff they’ve got a really low ERA yeah and you know with that said there’s not as much pressure on the offense but make no mistake about it players want to hit the ball hard and they want to score runs they want to jog around the bases hitting the ball over the fence so regardless of how dominant the staff can be the attitude is we want to go out there and have some fun with the bats so we’ll see one big inning in this one you know could be all they need but you’d like to have multiple big innings severino swinging a foul straight back one out base is empty and now two and two oh he never moved cuz he never had time to with that kind of velocity you’d prefer that pitcher work away the other way and foul ball that wasn’t an easy pitch to hit it’s much easier to do damage against mistakes but that’s not what that pitch was that one in the dirt three balls two strikes beautiful payoff pitch swing and a ground ball up the middle and that one finds its way through so they get a man aboard with a one out single batting third third baseman Jose Altuve jose Altuve up to hit here and that one wrapped foul aluve always seems to be setting records or reaching milestones boo in 2023 he became the fastest player to reach 2,000 career hits 200 home runs and 200 stolen bases in MLB history severino kicks steals and that’s off the inside edge and the count even one and one the one-1 is fouled off i wouldn’t throw him another breaking ball try to go again with a fast ball slightly elevated he just having a hard time catching up on the ground right side lays out but he can’t squeeze it to first and he beats it everyone’s safe batting fourth first baseman Christian Walker and now it’s Christian Walker pitch misses outside and that is ball one one out runners at first and second [Music] check swing did he go yes he did [Applause] swing and a miss and he was fooled he’s looking for a ground ball to get a double play and out of this jam hard ground ball for base stop and they stop him at third so base is loaded with one away still able to come through behind in the count right there pretty tough for the infielders to do anything with that one he pulled it hard into the outfield and even when you keep it on the ground it feels great when you hit a missile like that and now here’s a speed threat outfielder Jake Meyers golden opportunity right here little chopper rolls foul [Applause] [Music] and a strike on the outside edge i think ultimately you want to tie him up get the ball in on the plate so that he can’t get the barrel to it and hit it to the outfield [Applause] got him looking huge strike out there oh that was such a great opportunity to grab the lead you have the infield back all you got to do is just put the ball in play on the ground and you drive across a run it’s a frustrating outcome for the hitter now I’ll still have a chance but it’s probably going to take a clutch hit with two outs now a chance for Cam Smith [Applause] and that’s ripped for a base hit one runs in the throw home but it’s offline he will score it’s two zip his confidence level is so high really nice job of coming through in a big spot nice job of driving that pitch the other way on a line you know hitters they take so many reps in the cages working on going to the opposite field and it doesn’t always translate into the game but right there it did and he did it perfectly now it’s the rookie DH Jacob Melton [Music] and that’s through their first strike and one well they’re really running up the pitch count in this first inning lots of confidence from this team that is perhaps the hottest in baseball right now [Applause] two on two outs swings and he pops it up near the pitcher mound muny on his way over and that’ll do it but two runs for him and they jump ahead onto the bottom of the first it’s the Astros two and the Athletics coming to bat back here with my pal Singi today’s starting pitcher Colton Gordon and Chris he’s a guy that gets better when things get tough well no doubt about it he’s going to have to put together some consistently good performances in order to bring that erra down now he’s got good stuff he’s just got to be able to have confidence trust it and really go after hitters not nibble trust that his stuff can have late life and miss barrels of bats we go to the bottom of the first and now the DH Lawrence Butler Pitch misses and it’s one and0 well after scoring runs this is where you’re looking for that shutdown inning get that hot team back in there to swing the bats now fly ball to right center meyers sizes this one up makes the catch and there’s one away and time now to check out the A’s lineup one guy leading the way offensively for this club right now Tyler Sodstrom and he’s leading him in runs batted in this season which tells me this guy is able to slow things down when it seems like there’s a little bit of pressure and he’s looking at as an opportunity to do damage you know a lot of guys they see runners on base and they get big they feel like all this pressure I’ve got to get these runs in but somehow he seems to settle into these situations so watch out when he comes to the plate this one popped up foul ground first base side has room and he makes the catch betting third right fielder Brent Rooker two down base is empty now it’s the right fielder Brent Rooker gordon 26 years old and he was drafted in the eighth round in 2021 pitch in the dirt and it’s one and one two out space is empty swings through that one out in front that time two balls two strikes to count with two outs here’s a rocket out to left duval pulls that one down and that is that and the A’s are gone in order they trail it here two nothing and we’re back top of the second and stepping in for the Astros Mauricio Dubon to go severino back to work that’s a strike [Applause] and now it’s evening up singi wasn’t very sharp in the first got hit around a little bit just wasn’t able to locate particularly well a lot of stuff for the fat part of the plate yeah Boo he wasn’t fooling anyone and it’s a tough place to be cuz it’s not always obvious what adjustments need to be made sometimes it’s location sometimes it’s being too predictable sometimes you’re tipping your pitches he’s going to need to figure it out quickly though fights that one away still one and two oh that got away from him and he’s going to reach on a hit by pitch to lead off the inning man nobody out now it’s Brendan Rogers fast ball for a strike one [Applause] pitch is in there 0 and2 Rusty Valentine doing the umpiring behind the dish for us maybe the best name in the league yeah that’s a solid one no doubt i mean who’s better to ask than you i kind of wonder if Rusty is his actual name or just a nickname yeah no clue the next offering misses and it’s one and two anyways Rusty’s got a good zone very good on the corners of the plate but he’ll give pitchers a little bit above the letters and below the knees if they’re earning it highf fly ball right field puts it away for the and there’s one down now batting shortstop Jeremy Pñena back to the top of the lineup here’s the shortstop at the plate jeremy Pñena flyed to right his first time and that’s in there for strike one right through there for a strike dub the base runner at first with one out swing and a ball lifted left field sodestrom they got it for out number two [Applause] here’s the catcher to hit diaz Singled and scored his first time and that one ripped into right and foul ball two outs swing and a miss no balls two strikes no balls two strikes [Applause] stays alive come on cut on and miss struck him out that’s out number three one left for Houston as they’re unable to add to their two nothing lead and welcome back to the ballpark here’s the left fielder Tyler Soder tyler Soderstrom there’s the strike no ball one strike line to left and it stays fair around first and hustling for second and he’s got a leadoff double i’ll tell you when you smoke a line drive into the gap like that I mean sure home runs are king but I feel like nothing makes you feel like a true professional hitter more than a bolt the other way runner in scoring position no outs maxy up next for the A’s swing and a miss 0 and one runner in scoring position nobody out bottom half of inning number two come on fouled off he was late [Music] gets a piece and stays alive in the air foul off first makes the catch up against the wall in foul territory boy that was a hanging breaking ball right there i think he tried to do a little bit too much sometimes those eyes can get really big i think his swing broke down as well and that’s what caused him to pop it up all right Nick [Applause] nick Curts at the plate now that’s ball one he had a foul ball strike two that pitch started in and ended up on the outside edge just changing planes and very difficult especially for a left-handed hitter to track that missed by a lot and that’s ball two [Music] little bit low really good take especially with two strikes one out and a runner at second foul ball and it remains a full count you can see he was trying to stay back long enough to handle the offspe pitch but just a little tardy on the fast ball 3-2 swings and sends a rocket to right and that’s a base hit rounds third headed for the plate the throws offline he’s saved it’s 2-1 well back within one as he brings home the run that’s a good sound coming off the bat man and as he connected out front lifted into the outfield that’s one of those swings where you just don’t even feel the ball hit the barrel that’s a pure stroke next up for the A’s Austin Wings first pitch and that’s in for a strike [Applause] in the dirt blocked man at first one away [Applause] swings through that one for strike two one ball two strike [Applause] out of line out towards center meyers snags it on the run wow he looked like he was running before the ball was hit didn’t have much time that was a hard hit liner but a nice job of covering a lot of ground in a short amount of time here’s Luis Oas he’s been a great free agent side [Applause] that misses and that’s ball one just missed two balls [Applause] and that is downstairs and that’s ball three well I would expect in this three-0 count you’re taking all the way see if he’ll walk you [Applause] that clips the inside corner for a strike kurts off of first with two away now to short fires across the diamond inning over on to the third inning there’s the former MVP Jose Altu jose Altuve altuve has a lot of history with the Astros in fact he’s played so many seasons in Houston that he’s the only player to be named an all-star in both leagues while playing for the same team you know blue deltub goes back all the way to those Astros days in the NL Central before they move to the AL West swing and a line drive that’s a base hit into right field so a man on base to start the inning couple of hits in a row for him here really good swing right there he got a pitch that he knew he could handle allowed himself to stay back just a tad bit longer and he hit the ball on the screws so next up for Houston Christian Walker one for one with a single so far and that one fouled off comes up empty that’s strike two [Applause] gets a piece and it stays 0 and two it’s a healthy cut tough pitch at 98 but a really good pass at the ball on the inside corner for called strike three wow that’s a tough call for the hitter but the pitcher will take that all day long not quite in the strike zone but he found a spot that the umpire is going to at least for now allow him to get that call so hitters are going to have to make an adjustment but pitchers are going to learn from those things and really try to exploit them if they can this one high in the air to left center sodestrom on the move to the alley he’s got it and there’s two away oh those can be pretty fun as an outfielder got to put it into his highest gear and go a long way to track that one down nothing better than that you feel like a wide receiver playing football and now Cam Smith he drove in two with a single his first time up come on swing and a popup rooker towards the line makes the grab on the run and that is that so the Astros leave one they lead it 2-1 bottom of the inning here’s a speed threat denzel Clark singing you got to appreciate a guy who’s this good defensively i mean watching him track balls in the outfield it is beautiful late on that fast ball and I would say that most great defensive outfielders it’s kind of natural there is some work that you can do to it uh to improve your game but ultimately you either have it or you don’t the 1-1 there’s one guy that I can think about Boog who started as a third baseman Alex Gordon and then became an elite perennial gold glover out in left field for the Kansas City Royals but he’s a guy when you watch him play you would imagine that that’s all he ever played in his life was the outfield swing and a miss and he got him to chase yeah some guys just have instincts right i mean that’s the way it goes you talk about Larry Walker the Hall of Famer and his instinct on the bases despite the fact that he didn’t play a ton of baseball as a kid brings it in one down now that is designated hitter now here’s the lead off hitter for the Ace lawrence Butler 0 for one with a fly out to center and the first pitch misses for ball one one of the things that Jim Leland used to say when I was broadcasting with the Marlins the longer a plate appearance goes for a batter the more likely it is that something good will happen for the hitter one down base is empty swinging a foul back that’s out of play and a foul ball he stays alive and now the count filled up three and two gets a piece there we’ll do it again [Music] got him swinging well one of the things that hitters will do is they’ll look for that red dot on the baseball as it’s coming in to let them know what the pitch is and if they see the red dot it’s typically a slider but when a guy’s got a really tight one with high spin rates very difficult to determine and that’s probably why we saw a swing and miss right there just a nasty pitch headed towards the corner and that is a foul ball well he got a first pitch breaking ball right there that he clearly liked the look of just needed to let it travel a little longer two down nobody on oh that’s away pitch misses now two balls in a strike foul ball two two down now a highf fly ball out to left center and makes the play and that’s out number three and we’re back start of the fourth now it’s the DH Jacob Melton first pitch misses one ball no strike and another ball two out that one hammered but pulled foul [Music] swing and a ball rip right field and that one back and that one is gone that’ll fire up the dugout and they add a run it’s 3-1 that was blasted absolutely no doubt off the bat knew what pitch he wanted to hit spent on some other pitches in this at bat was very patient and it paid off here’s Mauricio Dubon [Applause] first pitch just misses oh you just got to delete it you give up that leadoff home run go back to work focus on this next batter duban in his fifth season 30 years old now and he was born in Honduras and he hits a ground ball right side and he can’t come up with it safe at first no play we’ll see how they score this now batting second base Brendan Rogers bad at first now it’s the second baseman Brendan Rogers he’s 0 for one here’s the pitch runner goes tap foul at the plate now the one there’s a strike foul ball still 0 and two nobody out runner at first [Applause] [Music] ground ball right side it squirts through throw back in quickly first and second now with nobody out stringing them together that’s three hits in a row just a simple ground ball the other way they had eyes on it man sometimes that’s all you need to do just let the ball travel put the ball in play and just hope it finds a hole and next to hit for Houston Jeremy Pñena 0 for two in this one tapped at the plate but it’s a foul ball [Applause] swings and misses and the count is 0 and two the real threats are coming up already giving up a home run in this inning he’s going to really have to bear down that’s a strike out good looking sweeper there well he went up there trying to be aggressive that’s for sure hacking at those first two pitches but clearly that last one fooled him he could have been sitting on something else entirely but you want to be able to adjust on 0 and two and at least get a swing off when it’s in the zone maybe choke up maybe spread out your stance a little bit you got to give the guy credit on the mound though he went right after it here’s the catcher Yiner Diaz singled and scored back in the first he’s one for two right through there for a strike runners at first and second with one gone top half of inning number four next pitch is downstairs well the good thing so far is that he hasn’t issued any free passes unfortunately they’re making pretty good contact so not getting the swings and misses and making that defense work behind it a swing and a miss as he chases way out of the zone down the left field line should be extra bases duvong around third he’ll score easily now the throw comes in runner holds it third well here we are third time through the order and this is where we see the OPS jump up manager might have to go to the bullpen a little bit sooner than he anticipated [Applause] here comes the skipper and we’re going to see a pitching change in this spot luis Severino won’t go any further tonight it’s a three-run game and we’ll be back to tell you about the new arm in a minute now PJ Mitch will take over here huge opportunity to add on to the lead for this offense right now but we’ll see what he has to say about that he’s going to have to make some great pitches to work out of this jam though here’s the third baseman Jose Altuve he’s two for two inside just missed the one that one hit to right base hit and a run comes in now two runs score and the lead is up to five now batting first baseman Christian Walker runner on at first with one gone christian Walker up next for the Astros and that misses and that’s ball one spence he’s one of those guys who uses the cut fast ball as his primary offering and when it’s on it can induce a lot of weak contact swings and misses and it’s one and one and the late movement on the cutter is really what makes it so effective because as a hitter you make a decision whether you’re going to swing or take a pitch before it actually gets into the zone so that late movement causes it to miss the barrel of the bat sometimes miss the bat entirely hit on the ground might be two there’s one double play and that’ll do it for the inning so it’s four runs for him on five hits no errors and no one left to the bottom of inning number four now it’s the Astros six and the A’s won and welcome back to the ballpark john Chabi and Chris Singleton with you and leading off the bottom of the fourth Brent Rooker let’s go to baby let’s go first pitch doesn’t find the zone this is one of those times when you want to be aggressive go ahead and pitch to contact let the defense work behind you you’ve got a nice comfortable lead don’t try to be too fine ripped but a curls foul yeah that’s fouled off he’s been pitching well but we’ll see what kind of adjustment the hitters make this second time through the order we’ll know if he’s got really good stuff in this one or not that chest misses and the count is two and two that one almost got him foul we’ll see another payoff pitch [Music] swung on belted that’s back that’s long gone all muscle to center field his 16th homer of the year it’s 6-2 he put a charge into that one that was a lightning swing right there no doubt about it when you’re lacking velocity it’s so critical that you move the ball around change speeds even try to trick the hitter at times but when you give up a home run right there manager doesn’t have a lot of patience because the velocity not there to overcome and get the swing and miss soderstroke in the box now as he leaves that one up high [Applause] nobody on nobody out with a run in we’re here in the bottom of the fourth and there’s a fly ball deep right field and it one hops the wall now he turns and heads for second the throw to second is offline i’m sure he feels really good about that one he hit that ball really well to deep right field right there got a pitch to drive and just stayed through it nicely didn’t quite have the trajectory to clear the fence but you’re always happy with an extra base hit runner in scoring position no outs and now Maxie first time up was a pop out just missed [Applause] man at second swinging a foul out of play and a swing and a miss benny really sells the change up with that arm action that’s off the inside corner two and two sodestrom leads off second with nobody out [Applause] swing and a highf fly ball out there towards left field dubong right there to make the grab and there’s one down just pulled off of it a little bit right there that front shoulder coming open instead of staying closed if he does that he’s going to be able to go up the middle the other way with some authority instead of a fly out to left nick Curts up next for the A’s rbi single his last time up on the inside corner for a strike he’s pitching well but not throwing a ton of first pitch strikes usually doesn’t work out for success but you can never predict baseball in the dirt runner at second here one gone [Music] that pitch in for a strike one and two swing and a highf fly ball left field dubong brings it in two down now the catcher to hit austin wins austin wins that misses the zone ball one [Applause] that clips a corner [Applause] so a foul ball makes it one and two [Applause] swing at a high-fly ball that’s out to center meyers makes the grab and that is that a’s draw closer on this homer it’s now 62 major League Baseball is on the show ready now for the fifth inning digging in it’s the speedy outfielder Jake Meyers spence back to work breaking ball in there for a strike movement in the bullpen jacob Lopez appears to be getting loose sears getting cranked up as well and that one almost hit him one and one slashed foul down the right side that’ll hook off into the seats foul ball still a one and two count [Music] that’s to third muny one away here in the fifth now batting number 11 now here is Cam Smith green baby let’s go comebacker to the mound in plenty of time to first and the first two set down in the top of the fifth two outs space is empty jacob Melton up next for the Astros he’s already homerred here in this one and he swings through that one you tie a guy up like that you’re feeling like you are in command no that’s a ball two down nobody on and we’re in the top of the fifth and they’re swinging to miss there’s a certain point where you have to commit to what you think you see and he guessed wrong right there nasty slider with just terrific bite at the end swing and a miss and he’s down on strikes and it’s a three up three down inning astros go down one two three they lead it six-2 we head to the bottom of the fifth here’s the second base Luis luis Urias right through there for a strike the Astros have some action in their pen hunter Brown the hardthrowing righty is up and loosening valdez the power lefty up as well and that skips in the dirt that’s down and in well he might have to look for a different putaway pitch right here 22 he’s already seen the curve ball a couple of times in this at bat so might have it timed up and ready for it in the air left field and there’s one down now batting the center fielder Denzel denzel Clark getting ready to hit this is a guy who’s in the lineup first and foremost because of what he contributes defensively Chris and when you talk about preventing runs from being scored this guy is a big contributor that one finds the zone strike one i was always told it’s hard to take you off the field when you play really good defense especially at a premier position and that’s what he does walker should have this one he makes the catch and there’s two down up next for the A’s designated hitter Lawrence Butler digs in now [Applause] and the first offering is not close the A’s down by four last half of inning number five pitch misses there and a count two and one and that one upstairs jacob Wilson in the on deck circle for the A’s [Applause] two outs got him looking and a nice inning of work there as he sets him down one two three nothing doing there for the A’s they still trail it here it’s six-2 all set for the top of the sixth and stepping in for the Astros Mauricio Dubon and there’s the strike looks like he sacrifice to pitch right down the middle for tracking and timing some good hitters will do that and now the count is even activity in the bullpen jacob Lopez the left-hander up and throwing the one-1 is fouled off and a ball evens a count that’s foul off to the right side keeps the AB going okay swings through it and that’s a strike out and he’ll be beating himself up on the way back to the dugout got a pitch to hit and just couldn’t get to it i think that slider really caught way more of the plate than it was supposed to rogers up for the third time and takes ball one fouled off left side so a foul ball makes it one and two one down base is empty got him rusty Valentine rings him up really love the pitch sequence right there i’m telling you what pitcher and catcher on the same page right now now batting short stop Jeremy so the Houston lineup turns over now it’s going to be Jeremy Pñena 0 for three with two flyyous and a strikeout and that gets the top of the zone for a strike [Music] the shorts stop takes a ball one and one way out front for strike two clearly he was sitting on a fast ball right there and just ended up out in front of the slider hey you can’t fault him for his commitment now he’s just going to have to battle with two strikes two down nobody on swing and a highf fly ball out towards right center field clark makes the catch and that’ll do it no runs no hits no errors 234 do up in the home half of the six it’s the Astros six and the A’s two new arm out of the bullpen hunter Brown and he’s been fantastic this year really stingy in terms of allowing base runners he’s just got great stuff that’s tough to square up now it’s the short stop Jacob Wilson the emo for him is contact a guy who’s going to deliver average not a ton of power he’s looking to hit a line drive somewhere well that’s why it’s a team i mean when you look at a lineup he’s a great two-hole hitter or a guy that you could put at the bottom to help turn that lineup over to have some momentum for your top hitters coming up to the plate and that’s downed away one ball one strike and now two and one after that missed inside swing and a ground ball and that one gets through into center field and the leadoff man aboard all right let’s go timing on the swing was good able to shoot the ball up the middle didn’t square up as much as he probably would have liked but that’s a good approach paying off brent Rooker up next for the A’s he’s already homerred in this game [Applause] let’s go one more time baby and first offering is fouled off he swings and fouls one off [Music] and that one hammered that’s back out of here another homer his second home run of the game and they close the gap it’s 6-4 no matter how this outing ends that pitch is going to haunt him for a while an O2 mistake that’s supposed to be a pitch out of his own he left it in a spot that the hitter could do some damage with and that’s exactly what he did next up for the A’s Tyler Soderstrom late on that fast ball can be tough to bounce back after a big home run but nobody on nobody out you just have to treat it as a fresh inning [Applause] just missed nobody out with a pair of runs across in the frame here in the bottom of the sixth just missed [Applause] to the right side and that chance handled on to first one away bottom of the six now batty third baseman Maxy now the third baseman Maxy [Applause] that’s outside and that is ball war [Applause] pretty good pitch to take a pass at in a 10 count just not able to square it up [Applause] swing and a miss struck him out well classic pitch sequencing there to change eye levels for the punch out that fast ball on the pitch before was off it was very competitive and that gets you thinking that he might try to climb the ladder but then the curveball out of that same tunnel just falls off the table and he can’t make contact so two down now and here is Nick Curts that is upstairs for ball one one and0 [Applause] inside corner and that’s called a strike that’s a real nice cutter right there i mean this guy can struggle with the inside pitch at times so I’d say that’s pretty effective if you can continue to command it on that side of the plate drilled out towards left center field meyers sizing this one up pulls it down and he makes the catch that is the inning the A’s with a two-run blast it’s now a 64 ball game it’s Major League Baseball on the show welcome back we’re in the seventh we have a new pitcher on the mound number 49 pretty tight game so they’re looking for quality pitches out of him right here got to do his best to keep the score right where it is so digging in Diaz known for his rocket arm behind the plate come on out in front rip foul next offering popped in the air right field puts it away for the out now batting third baseman Jose Jose Altuve up next for the Astros three for three with three singles ball one there base is empty one away here in the top half of inning number seven swinging a ground ball and it goes just fouled that one the other way dives and he can’t hang on the throw won’t get there in time and they come away without an out well from the time you’re a little leager you’re taught to hustle out of the box and give it a full sprint through the base regardless of how you hit it and he didn’t make great contact but the effort was there and he earns the base hit so a man at first at the plate Christian Walker one for three and that’s off the inside edge and it’s one and0 altuve stands at first with one out get two next offering is fouled back the 1-1 lace down the line base hit right field and they’ll have runners at the corners after a one out single now batting the center fielder Jake Myers here’s the center fielder Jake Meyers 0 for three in this one chris his skill set straight out of the mid 80s good contact not much power and he could run he always uses the wheels to his advantage his biggest challenge in this day and age is to not get caught up in trying to hit home runs because so many people are right down to shoot that’s strike one i think baseball’s starting to understand that those guys are valuable like they once were they need him in this game today two on one out on the ground to first and that’s just foul on the ground to second might be two good feed that’s one what a double play that was inning over so no runs on two hits no errors and one man left midway in inning number seven and it’s time to stretch it’s the Astros 6 and the Athletics four now pitching for we’re back in a new pitcher here to start the bottom of the seventh Caleb Or and he’s been really shutting down hitters from the right side of the plate this year not a lot of hard contact not a lot of hits period and now here’s catcher Austin wins now a close rule to ball one for the tall righty 33 years old and he found his way onto the team after being claimed off waiverss and there’s a ball two balls one strike [Applause] popped up pñena and there’s one down now batting second baseman Luis Urias next up for the A’s Luis Urias first pitch and he just misses the Stros trying to protect a two-run lead here the bottom of the seventh that misses off the outside edge [Applause] the 20 is in for a strike fouled off down the right side and a pop off right side foul territory and a foul ball goes down looking frustrating end to the at bat for the hitter and I’m sure that’s going to sit on him for a little while you want to be ready to hit the fast ball sometimes you can overthink things and I think that was the case right there clark stands in now and watches strike one Oh he doesn’t get the call and it’s a ball and a strike the one-1 is fouled off and a one two fouled off and they’ll do it again you got this another one two and they’ll do it again two outs fights it off you’ll see another also really good at bat what I like about this guy his bat stays in the zone for a long time gives him the ability to foul off tough pitches swing and a miss struck him out three up three down inning over so they make short work of him there eighth inning coming up it’s the Astros six and the Athletics four and we’re back we go to the eighth and stepping in for the Astros Cam Smith and first offering is fouled off just missed swing and a miss he was late strike two one two now and a good eye there was good pitch there really had some run and finished little up and end just on the edge and that’s one of those if you swing at it he had a broken bat as you jog back to the dugout that one misses so a lead off walk well a breaking ball in that 3-2 count kind of tells you that that’s the pitch he has the most confidence in right now just couldn’t find the strike zone man at first nobody out now here’s the Astros designated hitter Jacob Melton way to go baby fought off foul smith aboard here at first with nobody out rolled to short possible two ball offbalance feed there’s one how about that double play oh man what a smooth double play that was a thing of beauty from start to finish so next up for Houston Mauricio Dubon swings through that one oh and one and one [Applause] two down nobody on and we’re in the top of the eighth drilled out towards left center field that’s back there and that’s going to bang against the wall safely into second he’s got a double well a swing like that can help you come out of the struggle we saw the numbers coming into the ball game but all he’s trying to do at this point is help his team win zo runner at second two down brendan Rogers up next for the Astros and a first pitch fast ball is in for a strike [Applause] two outs and one in scoring position misses just off the outside edge i think that was a strike man on second two down and a swing and a miss there well that’s that slope right there he threw it extremely well talk about just a ton of break so tough to get that barrel to in the air out towards left center and that is that one left for Houston they’re up 6-4 back now new pitcher on the mound as we roll into the bottom of the eighth Steven Ochre these are the spots relievers really make a name for themselves late and close there’s not much margin for error but at the same time there’s a reason they’re put in these situations butler stands in here leaves that one off the inside action in the pen down there josh her the lefty with big swing and miss stuff is getting ready [Music] swinging a foul straight back little dribbler up along third and foul ball swing and a miss and he is down on strikes for the third straight at bat well they’ve had a great plan of attack for him tonight i mean finding all the holes in his swing and his approach just frustrating for him up there you strike out a guy three times in a game I think that guy’s got to go back and really study some video with his hitting coach figure out how they’re beating him make this adjustment really quick cuz Word will get around the league in a hurry wilson batting with one down takes the strike [Applause] swing and a ground ball out to short pñena zips it across and a couple of quick outs couple of pitches and a quick out now batting right fielder Brent next up for the A’s Brent Rooker [Applause] mvp mvp mvp on the ground right side and it goes just foul breaking ball inside and a count even one and one lefty continues to work but the closer getting loose in the bullpen here’s a high-fly ball out to center meyers makes the grab and that ends the inning nothing across here this half through eight full it’s the Astros six and the Athletics four now pitching we’re back it’s the top of the ninth and there’s a new pitcher on the mound jacob Lopez just trying to keep this one close here and this is where a bullpin can give their players a chance to fight back into the game back to the top of the order and now the short stop Jeremy Pñena he’s one of the faster guys just by pure sprint speed in the majors [Applause] right through there for a strike it’s good speed at the top of the order here you want to get it on and see if you can get a stolen base maybe get around the bases and pick up a run fast ball is outside one [Applause] and that one hit to first and that’s just foul [Music] two and two that one misses three and two now headed towards the corner tracks it down for the out and there’s one away that’s just a really nice catch on the run right there he saved extra bases for sure if the pitcher’s his friend he’ll give him a second to catch his breath before he’s ready to deal the next pitch yer Diaz the next to hit [Applause] and it’s fouled away base is empty one away here in the top of the ninth [Applause] and that one missing inside a sharp slider good slider down and in can be so hard to get on plane with you’re better off taking that pitch one down base is empty just missed the Athletics have some bullpen action jp Sears preparing to come on if needed nukem also getting ready [Applause] and that’s way high three and one [Applause] and that’s ball four maybe a little loss of focus on the mound right there pretty much gifted in first base with the quick free pass altuve one gone runner at first here’s the third baseman Jose Altuve no matter what you’re playing this kind of rival to take your game to another level here goes the runner slice to right could be extra bases the relay throw throw pulls him off the bag and he’s safe another hit i mean these types of performances at the plate don’t come around too often this is pretty special showed a willingness to drive that pitch the opposite way didn’t get jumpy didn’t try to pull the ball he let it get deep took the barrel right to it and then extended through the swing for the line drive base hit so two in scoring position with one out walker will hit next swing and a liner foul off to the right in the infield at the corners don’t be surprised to see them come home first and prevent that run from scoring [Applause] strike two one down runners at second and third in the air right side rooker on the move to the gap he’s there he’s got it runner tags from third he’s in on the Zack fly and they take a three run lead there you go nice little RBI there it’s a great at bat got the job done jake Myers up next for the Astros feels like it’s less common today that you see a guy like this the speed component the contact component but lack of power and first offering is fouled off he just has to understand that his skill set is unique and he’s very valuable for any ball club if he does that he’ll play a long time in this league swinging a miss and it’s nothing at two swing and a ground ball base hit right field coming home here’s the throw to the plate it’s offline the run comes in and they lead by four so a man aboard Cam Smith now at the plate and a first pitch fast ball is in for a strike meyers the runner at first with two gone [Applause] ground ball up the middle that’s a base hit they stopped the lead runner at second now two on with two outs couple of singles back to back really nice job staying up the middle with his approach he didn’t try to do too much with the pitch just shot it through the infield there comes a skipper out of the dugout and he’s ready to make the move jacob Lopez gives way and the line not closed on him yet as he’s responsible for the runners on base back with a new pitcher after this now pitching Shawn Nuke gets the call from the pen he’s having a ton of success facing left-handed hitters this season so this seems like the smart move to turn to him with a lefty at the plate first and second two outs next is the designated hitter Jacob Melton there’s the strike [Applause] two aboard two outs [Applause] swing and a miss as he was out front that time line drive brings it in for the third out so two runs on three hits no errors but two are left stranded onto the bottom of inning number nine 456 coming up it’s the Astros eight and the Athletics four and welcome back to the ballpark last chance for the home team and the batter now Tyler Sodstrom [Applause] ochre back to work and immediately pumps in a strike to the left-handed hitter [Applause] and that is out of play [Applause] that one way outside and the count one and two rarely will you see a pitcher just to waste a pitch like that the batter wasn’t even tempted to swing every pitch needs to have a purpose so that it can set up a following pitch to help you get that out swings and misses struck him out well that’s always the key to effective pitching is getting ahead in the count and as a pitcher it really allows you to start expanding the zone hitters become defensive and all of a sudden that plate starts to get really wide and what happens is because of the pressure you end up committing to a pitch as a batter before you recognize what it is and that’s what leads to the strikeout foul ball there [Applause] the next pitch misses one and two to cow the Athletics down by four we’re in the last half of the ninth inning and it’s fouled off they’ll do it again [Applause] just off the inside corner and the count is even two and two close pitch there and he’s kind of wondering where it missed you know getting a feel for each umpire strike zone is something that pitchers and hitters really have to think about and work on from game to game and sometimes from at bat to at bat swings and misses now only one out remaining he came out of his mechanics there typically likes to shoot the ball the other way but that time a little anxious and here’s the first baseman Nick Curts [Applause] and he swings and misses at the initial offering [Applause] they’re down to their final strike two really good backto-back sliders now in an 02 count he’s feeling real confident about finishing this hitter off he can go anywhere he wants and the pitch is outside ball one the Astros leading by four here in the last half of inning number nine swing and a miss struck him out and that is the ball game after four wins in a row you start to think a little bit that you’re on a roll and that’s the momentum that just takes on a life of its own players start hitting up and down the lineup never know who’s going to come up with the big hit who’s going to come out of the bullpen and get the big outs but it’s a good feeling and you want to extend it and our final here today 84 for Chris Singleton and our entire outstanding crew here at MLB the show i’m John Shami saying so long
