MLB LIVE🔴 Cincinnati Reds vs Washington Nationals – Jul 22, 2025 | Full Game MLB 2025 EN VIVO
All right, just about set to go now. The starting pitcher in this one, Mike Soka. But Chris, he hasn’t exactly been stellar here on his home mound. 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 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. And that is out of play. Next pitch misses and the count even one and one. Next offering is fouled back. And that skips in the dirt. Two, two. That hits the dirt. Full countdown. Three balls, two strikes. Fights it off. He’ll see another the pitch. Now this is in the air down the line and no one can get to it. It’s a foul ball. Comes up empty as he chases that one in the dirt. Up with it. Fires to first in time to get him. One away and a strike out. He’s got to throw any pitch in any count. 32. He goes off speed, gets the out in now for the Reds. Matt Mlan. A swing and a miss. And that’s strike one. One strike. One out. Base is empty. fouls it back with two strikes. One down, base is empty. Strike three and that’s two in a row. He’s really good hitting the baseball the other way. So, credit the pitcher for having him out in front of that pitch. Clearly, he had him fooled. And now, Ellie Dea Cruz. That one finds the zone. Two outs. Base is empty. The shorts stop takes the ball. There’s the strike. It’s a good change up to hit up in the zone. I don’t think he recognized it. I’m sure he’d love to have that one back. Battling here as he fouls it away. This to third. bounces it to first, but he digs it out and the inning is over. Reds down in order. Now it’ll be Washington’s turn. It’s a scoreless ball game. You’re watching Major League Baseball exclusively on the show. Back here in Nationals Park and getting the start for Cincinnati, Nick Ledo. Chris, what are you looking for from him? Well, he’s allowing just over one base runner per inning, which is really good, especially for a starter because these hitters get to see you two, three, maybe even four times in a start. So, just shows you how deceptive and how effective his stuff is. We’ll see if it’s that way in this one. Here’s CJ Abs. and downstairs. Next offering is fouled back. Swings and misses. That’s strike two. Benny really sells the change up with that arm action. Hacks and misses. It’s a strike out. Batting second now at the plate. James Wood. James Wood. in there in its own one. Foul ball left side. He’ll see another and one and two. One and two. Swings through that one. It’s a strike out. Well, there appears to be no problem settling in on the mound out there today. It looks pretty tough to start this one. Punching out the first two hitters of this ball game. And somebody’s gonna have to put the bat on the ball, put it in play, and get something going. Luis Garcia, the next to hit, takes outside. That’s a strike. Looks really sharp at the start of this one. This is how it’s going to be today. It’s going to be a tough one for this lineup. He swings and fouls one off. Two down. Nobody on to the right side. Takes it himself. Nats go down one, two, three. Nothing doing it for Washington. We played an inning. No score. Back in Washington DC, all set for the start of the inning. And now it’s Austin Hayes. Sroa back to work. And that one upstairs. Ball one inside. Just missed. Matthew Ross umpiring behind home plate for us in this one. He’s got a reputation for having a bit of a wide strike zone, Chris. Yeah, no doubt. Boo. He rewards pitchers when they’re working the edges and sometimes a little bit beyond that. So for the hitters, just have to really be aware. Don’t miss your pitch when you get it early in the count. Next offering is in for a strike. Fans don’t really understand the familiarity and relationship players and coaches have with umpires. I mean, you see them a lot. Yeah. But they’re all out there trying to do their best and perform at a high level. So when you respect that, I think over time you can develop a relationship with them. As the game has moved along, we see more and more information supplied by teams about the umpires. I’ve been in clubouses where they have pictures of all four guys, nicknames, hometowns, and as well hobbies listed just so you can kind of small talk the umpire a little bit. That’s great. Spencer Steer getting ready to hit and that’s in for a strike. No ball. One strike. And a swinging to miss. outside low and the count one and two and that’s down and away. Good eye right there. Second inning here. No score. And that one is inside and it’s ball four. And that’s their first base runner of the game. What a battle. It’s not always easy laying off a 3-2 pitch. And I tell you what, he earned that walk. Noelv Marte now at the plate. That one misses. That’s five straight. can’t find it here. That’s six straight balls. Steer stands at first with one out. Sroa throw over and he dives back in safely. Ruer takes off. Next offering is fouled back. Two two down. Run around to go again. Highf fly ball out to center field. Two away. Batting seventh, the designated hitter, Tyler Stevenson. And next is the designated hitter, Tyler Stevenson. He’s a catcher by trade, but the DH here in this one. And first offering is fouled off. Soka picks over and he’s back in there. Two gone, but the go ahead run is at first here in the top of the second. Here goes the runner. Pitch is high and it sinks. It’s a stolen base. Here’s a 1-1. And that one pulled foul. Get him down. Hard on the ground to first. He takes it himself to the bag and that’ll do it. So, it’s no runs on no hits, no errors, and one left on base. We go to the bottom of inning number two. We’re tied nothing. Nothing. Bottom half of inning number two. Here’s Josh Bell. Designated hitter Josh Bell. Let’s go. On its way to the corner. Espel on the move. He’s got it. And a quick out number one. 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. Nathaniel Low in now takes ball one off the plate. Chopper right side. The throw to first. Two away. Batting six, third baseman, Brady House. Here’s the rookie third baseman, Brady House. Come on, Brady. And ball one. That’s a ball. One and0. Next offering upstairs. Two balls. No strike. And another ball. And there’s the automatic. And he walked him. And that’s how they get their first base runner of the game. Pretty easy walk right there. Last pitch wasn’t even much to think about. And now for Washington, Denon Lyle. And a first pitch fastball is in for a strike. Well, the key to his success is getting ahead early in the count. He cannot afford to go deep in the counts. Doesn’t have a ton of swing and miss stuff, so he’s going to have to work efficiently. Two outs. That one 95 to finish him off. No runs, no base hits, no errors, and one left on. We head on down to the top of the third. No score. And we’re back. Top half of the third inning. Here’s the catcher, Jose Trovinho. Trevinho, 32 years old, and they went out and made a trade for him last season. Strike two. 02 count both pitches on the inside part of the plate. Hitter is thinking I want to get beat here. This is a good time for something off speed away to third and it goes just foul. Struck him out looking. Next for Cincinnati, Santiago Espino. There’s the strike. And there’s a ball. One ball, one strike. that one the other way. He’s got it and there’s two away. It’s never fun going back to the dugout after hitting the line drive that finds a goal, but you will get some high fives. You know, when you make great contact, you feel like you’ve done everything right. But in this game of baseball, not everything is in your control. Fredel in the box here lets that one go for a ball. And now a little barking back towards the umpire. Clearly thought he got that outside corner on what was a pretty big pitch. Sometimes that only makes it worse for you moving forward, but it can also open up that location in the future if the umpire thinks there’s a chance that he missed it. That one’s spoiled. And the count now two and one. It’s so hard to slow yourself down when you see that juicy breaking ball. But the most success happens when you try to take that right back up the middle approach. Over to Low and the Reds go 1 2 3. Reds go down quietly and we’re still knotted at zero. And welcome back to the ballpark. Bottom of the inning now Riley Adams. Riley Adams. That one down the line and that’s just foul. And now the count is even. The 1-1 is fouled off. Go inside. Two balls, two strikes. Two, fast ball is outside. Keeps the bat going with a foul ball. Hit in the air left field. Fredel on the move. Makes the grab. 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. Come on, Jacob. Jacob Young now at the plate as he swings through strike one. Just threw that fast ball by him. elevated and if you’re not looking up in that location, very difficult to catch up to, especially with that velocity. Still tied at zero. Last of the third. That one hooked foul. One down, base is empty and a swing and a miss. Make it four strikeouts for him on the bump today. And Chris, that’s a way to neutralize his speed by keeping him off base. And the defense breeds a sigh relief because he puts pressure on everyone if he can put the ball in play. But that’s how you do it. Keep him off balance, get him out of there and deal with the next guy. Abrams at the plate for the second time as he takes ball one. And that’s downstairs. Two and O. He looks more focused at the plate and working the count after that first at bat strikeout. And another ball. Well, I would expect in this three-0 count, you’re taking all the way. See if they’ll walk you. James Wood in the on deck circle for the Nets. Let’s see if he gives him anything to hit here. One. That’s ball four. Tried another fast ball, but missed the spot. Maybe a little loss of focus on the mound right there. Pretty much gifted in first base with the quick free pass. James Wood. So man aboard next to hit for the Nats. James Wood 0 for one. He struck out swinging last time. And the first offering is not close. The two out walk. Got to erase that and really go to work on the hitter. You got to go ahead and just let him steal if he’s going to try to create the swing and miss and get out of this jam. Swings and lines a base hit into left field. They stopped the lead runner at second. Now two on with two outs. I don’t know how he’s able to shoot that pitch the other way and still put something on it. That pitch was inside and he let it get really deep. So pretty incredible hands to fight it off and still get good wood on it. Runner in scoring position now and a good opportunity to push across the first run of the ball game. And now it’s Luis Garcia 0 for one. He grounded out to first his last time. Just missed. And you wonder, is he in his head a little bit? Even if the base runner doesn’t steal right here, what’s great is that he is dividing the attention of the pitcher and may serve to give his teammate a better pitch to hit at the plate. Swinging a ball lifted left field. That’s a base hit. Here’s the throw to the plate, but it’s offline. He will score on the board first. It’s one zip. Well, there you go. The RBI machine. Another clutch run, scoring it back. Yeah, he’s been so good in these situations. Call it clutch if you want, but his resume speaks for itself. First and second, two outs. Josh Bell at the plate now. Swinging a foul back. That’s out of play. Back when you played, it wasn’t the empirical data we have now. It was a guy with a ruler and a diamond taking a colored pencil and drawing a line where he thought someone had hit the ball, right? that or just going off of gut or feel. What does it look like his swing is today? What’s the pitcher throwing? They are sticking to the metrics and what seems to be most consistent for that hitter regard and he got him. Strike three and that’ll retire the side. But they pick up one run on the RBI single. It’s now one- nothing. It’s Major League Baseball on the show. Start of the fourth dig high in the draft. He’s had that top prospect label over him since he put on a professional uniform. But at some point that starts to go away and you’ve got to produce at the big league level. Swanging a liner foul off to the right. Swinging a ground ball over to Low. That’s the first out in the top of the fourth. Now batting shortstop Ellie de la Cruz. One of our cover stars is at the plate. Ellie de la Cruz. Yeah, the first Reds player to be featured on the cover of the show. That must be a cool feeling for him. Delivers a pitch in for a strike at 95. Well, he’s been incredibly efficient in this one. first pitch strike percentage over 70%. That’s well above league average and that’s what’s allowed him to pitch well up until this point. That misses the zone and it’s two and one swing and a ground ball base hit right field. So, a man aboard now with one away. Just one of those seen eye base hits through the infield. He just kind of rolled over on it a little bit, but sometimes those can find a hole and get you a knock. And now, let’s see if they force some action with good wheels on the bases. Man at first with one gone. And ready to hit now for Cincinnati. Austin Hayes. Sroa throw over and he’s back safely. It really feels like we might be running out of time before a rain delay is called. This rain is not letting up. Yeah, and if we do get it, Ellie on his way to second. Pitch is low. Save. Don Cruz gets his first steal of the game. That was close. But Stackcast shows us why he so often seems to be on the safe side of these steel attempts. Chris. Yeah, you see that plus speed and he needed every last bit of it to swipe that bag. Such a threat on the bases. That clips the corner. Generally second, third time through the lineup, you want to be able to lean on those secondary pitches and command them. Looks like he’s doing a nice job of it. Throw to second. Save. Dela Cruz over at second. One down. Ground ball to the right side and he handles it himself for the out. Now batting the first baseman Spitzer Steer. So two down now. And here is Spencer Steer. He reached out to walk his first time. Just missed and that one fouled off. swinging a highf fly ball out there towards left field and that’s the third out. So one left for Cincinnati. They’re down one- nothing. Ready to go. Bottom four. Here’s Nathaniel Low. Looks like the weather could actually play a factor in this one. It’s coming down pretty good. Yeah, it is. And it’s not too bad yet, but the field’s not going to be able to hold off if the rain gets any worse than this. So, keep an eye on the pitcher mound as well. And the rest of the infield start to puddle up a little bit. Foul ball still 0 and two. And that’s in the dirt. On the ground right side. He’ll do it himself. Lead off hitter retired in the fourth. Now batting third baseman Brady House. So up next, Brady House walked his first time. Not even close there. One and0. Base is empty. One away. We’re here in the bottom of the fourth. Next offering is in for a strike. One ball, one strike. Swinging a foul straight back. started after it, tried to hold up. Now a look to first, got him. Dave Lawrence rings him up. Two down, base is empty. Up now for Washington. Dalon L went down looking on three pitches last time. Let’s see if he can be a little more aggressive right here. That one finds the zone and that is strike one. Next offering is fouled back. Gets a piece and it stays 0 and two. 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. cut on and missed and it’s a strikeout and that is the inning and the Nationals gone in order but they hold a one- nothing lead. Back in Washington DC here’s the third base Noel V Marte Marte Sarroa back to work. There’s a strike. Well, these Reds do a great job, Boo, of just waiting for the right pitch to come their way. And I’m seeing very patient at bats out of it. Starter’s leash has to be getting tighter with this pitch count where it is. But so far, he’s been really effective in this one. Next offering is down low. You know, sometimes it just takes getting to the bullpen in order to be able to score runs. And that might be the case today. Fouls it off. Still one and two and delivers outside. The guy at the plate could recognize Slider out of the hand. Didn’t stay in the tunnel very long in terms of depth and perception. He knew right away it was an off speed pitch. Got him. Now five strikeouts for him in the mound. Not bad. Tyler Stevenson the next to him for the Reds. Grounded out his first time up. Late swing fouled off. Look out. That ball was smoked. Man, I am so relieved that they have this netting down the line just ensures safety for the fans. It’s last thing as a player you want to look up and see a fan get hit. One down. Base is empty. Swings and misses. Struck him out. Take a look at the three pitch sequence here. Pretty simple in terms of hooking away at the plate. Once you’re ahead 02 as a pitcher, you can really expand the zone and see how aggressive that hitter is going to be trying to protect and battle. And right there, clearly he was in swing mode, but all you can do is hope to foul that off. Here’s Jose Trevinho. His first at bat was a strikeout. That one’s in there. 0 and one. Oh, and one. Two down, nobody on. And we’re in the top of the fifth. And that one 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. Swinging at a ball popped up. Garcia. And that is that. Still nothing on the scoreboard for him after five. It’s the Nationals one and the Reds nothing. Back here in Nationals Park. John Shia with my buddy Chris Singleton. It’s set to get us started. Bottom five, Riley Adams. And the first offering a fast ball for a strike one strike on the ground right side tosses to the pitcher covering the bag and the lead off hitter retired in the fifth Jacob Young. So digging in, Jacob Young. He was a strikeout victim his first time. Pitch misses outside and that is ball one. Drops one down in front of the plate and foul ball. ground ball left side. It’s in and out of his glove. Gets off a throw. The throw comes in too late and he reaches safely. So the lineup flips over CJ Abrams now. He is struck out and he is walked. Swing and a foul out of play. fouled off left side. Very dominant with that fast ball inside. Hitters going to be conscious of that. Now you have the outer half of the plate to work with out there on the mound. Ball one there. Man at first. One away. Snap throw to first. Young dives back in safely. Foul ball still a one and two count. Cuts and misses. It’s a strikeout. And now up for Washington. James Wood. One for two. James Wood. You talk about the power and the speed together. Well, we knew he was going to be a stud just coming up making his way through the minor leagues and quickly at this level an impact player. First offering misses badly for ball one. Now, if he’s going to steal second, you want him to go early in the count. That way, he’s not a distraction to the hitter at the plate. Go ahead and get it out of the way so the hitter can focus on the pitch. Young leads off first with two down to the inning. And a swing and a miss there. One ball, two strike. Pitch misses and the count is two and two. Knocks that one away and we’ll do it again. Let’s go. Got him. That’s his ninth strike out so far. So, one left for Washington, but they’re on top one- nothing. And we’re back. Top six. And now the right fielder, Santiago Espino. right fielder in his fifth season, 30 years old now and he was a 10th round pick back in 2016. Check swing called strike. Meanwhile, activity in the bullpen. Jose a Ferrer looks to be getting ready for Dave Martinez. Chaffen getting loose as well on the ground out to short. Abrams whips it to first on the run and very nicely done for the out. Deceptive slider right there. Stayed in the tunnel a long time. Got that hitter out front. Rolled over it. Put it on the ground. And now the center fielder TJ Fredel 0 for two in this one. First pitch doesn’t find the zone. Base is empty. One away. And we’re the top half of the sixth. And a foul ball. One down. Base is empty. Breaking ball inside and it’s two and one. Ground ball right side. on to first and that quickly. Two away. Now batting second base Matt Mlan. Now it’s the second baseman Matt Mlan. And takes low for ball one. And that’s in there for a strike. Little slider that finds Lamar. In this situation as the number two hitter, two out, nobody on. You want to be a table setter. Work the at bat, get deep, whatever it takes. Get on first base. Up and in. And a count. Two and one. And he grounds one back up the middle. Oh, great stop. It’s there and that’s a great play. So, another good inning for him on the mound. Six shutout innings now. It’s the Nationals one and the Reds nothing. Well, we go bottom six. Here’s the second baseman, Luis Garcia. That one’s in there and it’s 0 and one. Activity in the bullpen. Nick Martinez up and throwing for Terry Francona. Sudter, a left-hander, also throwing. Popped up to the left into foul ground. Nabs it. One down. Now batting designated hitter Josh Bell. And now the switch hitting first baseman Josh Bell. Swings through that one for strike one. One strike and it’s one and one. One and one. That one missed. All three. Three more balls. Two straight. outside and that is ball four. Oh, looking for a swing and miss right there or for the ump to help him out and make a call with that last pitch, but neither happened. Close pitch, but a good take to earn that walk. Nathaniel Low up to hit his split numbers between June and July there. This one smacked out to left center and that’s a base hit. Hayes fires it in. Lead runner holds at second base. First and second with one down. Clearly he was ready to hit right there. 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. Yeah. Now Terry Francona makes his way out of the dugout towards the mound and he’ll make a change. Nick Ledo is done. Good effort out of him even though he exits on the hook for the loss. New arm on the bump after a quick break. Now pitching for new pitcher coming on the veteran Nick Martinez. He doesn’t get a lot of strikeouts compared to other relievers. So he relies on getting that soft contact and the defense doing work behind him. They’ll have to be on their toes with him on the bump. First and second, one out. House digs in now. A strike out and a walk and a swing and a miss. Oh, and one to the left side, but it is well fouled. Foul ball. It stays nothing and two. That one just misses. Man, oh man. I don’t know how you take that pitch. That’s as close as it gets. Swanging a ball drilled center field. Makes the grab. Runner tags at second and he’s up to third safely with two gone. Now batting the right fielder Dalen Lyle. Next to hit for the Nats, Dalen Lyall who’s 0 for two with a pair of strikeouts. He’s been such a good hitter with runners in scoring position. Some guys just take it to another level for him right now at the plate. It’s like everyone else is in slow motion and he’s in full speed. Two on, two outs. Cold strike three on the fast ball and that ran back over the inner half. Sometimes he wears the emotion on the sleeve, but that’s okay as long as he’s getting results. And right there, thrilled with the punch out to get out of a jam. Now pitching. Welcome back. We’re in the seventh. We have a new pitcher on the mound. Jose a Ferrer coming on to face a righty here and he’s been fantastic against him this year and his numbers in those matchups are very good. In now for the Reds, Ellie De Cruz. This guy is one of the best athletes in the sport. If you don’t get ahead in the count, you can forget about having any success against him. And that’s downed away. Fought off foul. check swing and he held up. You get to this part of the order. Yeah, there’s some pop there, but more likely there are some base hits. So, very important to be patient. Let the pitcher walk you, if you will. And that’s hammered into right field. That’s a base hit. Off to a good start with a leadoff nod. Showed some really nice patience in that at bat. Worked himself into a good count. 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. And now a chance to maybe get creative on offense with good speed on first. Now here is Austin Hayes fouled off. He was late. Pitch misses there and it’s a ball and a strike. Well, triple digits on the gun. I know there are more pitchers that can reach that now than in the past, but it’s still impressive to watch. With the go ahead run at the plate here in the top half of inning number seven. Move over to first trying to keep it close. swing and a miss. Got him to go up the ladder for the K. That’s tough. You see it well. I mean, that was clearly up and out of the strike zone, but that’s one of the hardest things. And when you see a pitch out of the hand at eye level, that discipline to remember I can’t hit that pitch. If I can see it really well at eye level, I can’t catch up to that pitch when a pitcher’s got this kind of velocity. Next to hit, Spencer Steer and a first pitch fast ball is in for a strike. Dela Cruz over at first with one away. Picks over and he breaks for second. The tag and got him at second. looking to get the tying run on base. Check swing and he went and the count is 0 and two. And that one missing low. That’s down and in. A slider missed. Definitely a swing and miss slider down and in. He finished that really well. Just couldn’t get him to offer at it. and downstairs. Recognized that change up right out of the hand. Just spit on it. Noelv Marte in the on deck circle hoping to get a chance to make a big impact here. That’s a good at bat right there. He was down early in that plate appearance. Works the walk. One of the things about that two-out walk, the base runner over at first base is going to have a very aggressive secondary lead. So, a ball down the line or into the gap will produce a two out RBI. And those are the best. That is if you are the offensive side of it. Now pitching for now on the mound for the Nationals, Jake Irvin. Well, the best relievers love the opportunity to come in and protect the tight lead late in the ball game. Some of them are just wired different. So, we’ll see what he’s got here. Noelv Marte the next to hit for the Reds. First pitch just misses. Well, with the tying run at first base, he’s looking for something he can get a lot of barrel on. Drive it into a gap and score that run from first base. Swinging a miss. And the count is one and one right now. They’re looking for something. Hit hard into the gaps. Give them an opportunity with two outs to score that run from first in there. And so now one and two. Look pretty good as far as being in the strike zone, but I’m sure as a hitter not too good with where it was located. Very top of the strike zone, middle away. And there’s a ball. Really good take, especially with two strikes. And that one a little below the knees. And that’s ball three. Tyler Stevenson in the on deck circle hoping to get a chance to make a big impact here. Ground ball right side. He takes it himself to the bag and that’ll do it. Reds leave one and it remains one- nothing. Bottom of the seventh. And now the catcher comes up to here. Riley Adams. Catcher. Riley Adams. Swinging a popup. Foul out of play off to the right side. That’ll find the stands. Swinging a miss. 0 and two now. 0 and two. Smoked on the ground to second. Gets it to first and the lead off hit intercept down to open the seventh. Up next for the Nationals center fielder Jacob Young. Up now for Washington. Jacob Young. We talk about guys with good speed and definitely he has it. But pushing the offensive side for just a second, Chris, it’s the defensive side that I think the speed factors in the most and ball one. Well, he gets to balls that get by most people at that position. Just really impressive because there’s certain times a ball comes off the bat automatically that team that hit it thinks that they’ve got a base hit or they may have extra bases and he just takes it away. swings and hits one in the air out towards right field and it stays fair. Now batting short stop run first. Now it’s the short stop. CJ Abrams. Here’s the pitch. Runner goes. There’s the ball. Throw. Save. Chris, there aren’t many players faster than him and Stackcast demonstrates that for us right here. Yeah, it breaks down the data for us on a close play and that top speed is about as fast as we’ve ever seen. Boo and clearly it was the difference maker on that play. Swing and a ball lined out towards center. Fredo calls it in. Two away now. banning left fielder James Wood. James Wood will hit next. One for three. And the first pitch misses for ball one. swings through that one. He normally does damage on that pitch in that location. Just a swing and a miss there. I don’t think you want to throw it again though. Let’s go DC. Man on second, two down. Highf fly ball on that one. curling foul down the right side and a swing and a miss. The hattick and that’s the inning. I think the key is arm action on the change up. When you can sell it like a fastball, you drop the velocity, you get the swinging mess and you walk off the field. And welcome back to the ballpark. Ready to begin the eighth. Now it’s the Reds. Tyler Stevenson. Now the outside corner. Strike one. Breaking ball through there for a strike. And now one and two. Left field. Wood makes the catch for the owl. Now batting catcher Jose Trevino at the play. Jose Trevinho. That is upstairs for ball one. And another ball. Santiago Espino in the on deck circle hoping to get a chance to make a big impact here. Top of the zone for a called strike and the tying run is on base now. Batting right fielder. Now a move being made for a pinch hitter Gavin L. He represents the go-ahead run. on the ground to first. Could be two. Low over to second. Double play. They can’t seem to break through. Inning over. Nothing doing for the offense that time. Hold half of inning number eight. Straight ahead. It’s the Nationals one and the Reds nothing. Now pitching for Sam gets the call from the pen. Just trying to keep this one close here. And this is where a bullpen can give their players a chance to fight back into the game. Now it’s the second base, Luis Garcia. This is kind of a tough matchup as a left-handed hitter facing a left-handed pitcher. What you tell yourself is I want to stay square to the plate. Try to hit the ball over the shortstop’s head. And first offering is fouled off. This one ripped but foul to the right. And they’ll do it again. And that one missing low. That misses the zone. Two and two. All three and a foul ball. He stays alive. Well, he’s having a tough time getting a pitch by him. As a hitter, you feel pretty confident that you’re seeing different pitches still able to make some type of contact. lined into left center and that should be extra bases around first and hustling for second and he greets the new arm from the bullpen with a double. Man, that was a pretty good battle to play and I’ll tell you feels pretty good as a hitter when you grind out a hit like that. Man, that feels so good to shoot an absolute bolt the opposite way, split the gap and know that you’ve got extra bases right off the bat. That’s the kind of thing hitters dream about when they’re falling asleep at night. Runner in scoring position. No outs. Josh Bell digging in for the Nationals. Just missed. Runner in scoring position. Nobody out here near the bottom half of the eighth inning. Swing and a miss at the count. One and two. One ball two strike. So Dave Martinez going with a pinch hitter here. Alex call. This is a tough task coming in cold off the bench and in the middle of an at bat. Man, you’re just never anticipating that. And it’s fouled off. They’ll do it again. Oh, come on. We can do it. Man at second. Two and two. Now he can’t squeeze it behind the plate. Stays alive. Next offering is down low. Three and two now. Got him looking. That’s a strike out. 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. Next to hit, Nathaniel Low. Late swing, foul to the left. One-run game. One out, one on. That’s in there. And it’s 0 and two. fouled off and they’ll do it again. Just misses with that one. One and two. Make it count. And that’s outside. Two balls, two strikes. Caught him looking for the K. So back-to back strikeouts now. And they still haven’t managed to do anything with the leadoff double. Yeah, Boo. And you just don’t want to get careless here. You’ve done a really good job to get two outs after that leadoff doubled as you mentioned and just got to execute your pitches and it’s a non-issue. Brady House digging in for the Nationals and that misses ball one. Garcia at second with two down. Ripped to short. Tosses to first and that will end the inning. Nationals leave one, but they lead it one to nothing. Now pitching for welcome back and here comes the closer Kyle Finn again. I think closer has to be one of the toughest jobs in baseball and we see a pretty high turnover rate because of it. Every outing seems to be high pressure, this one included. We’ll see if he can wrap up the win and get himself a save. Fredel at the plate now and that’s inside. Boo. He never moved cuz he never had time to. But that kind of velocity, you’d prefer that pitcher work away. And that one is in for a strike. One way to make a guy real uncomfortable at the plate is pound him inside with good velocity. They’re doing that right here. There’s a swing in a miss. Really going after him here. All fast balls to get ahead in the count. Fights that one away. Still one and two and a swing and a miss and a strike out for the first out here in the ninth. Well, that right there is what you want to see out of your closer. Come in and close the door. Cancel any hope that that opponent has in making some type of comeback in the ball game. Tell you what, that helps him settle in and that helps everybody else relax a little bit to get these other two outs. Mlan stands in now. Looks at that one inside. The next offering misses and that’s ball two. swings through that one for strike two. Settle up the hitter. Get his arms extended. Tied him up a little bit. Slightly up, slightly in. That misses and it’s three and two. Ellie Dea Cruz in the deck circle hoping to get a chance to make a big impact here. One-run game here in the top of the ninth. Foul. We’ll see another payoff pitch. Swing and a pop up. Foul territory for the catcher. Makes the grab for the second half. 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. Reds down to their final out. Ellie Dea Cruz the next to hit for the Reds. Corner infielders guarding the lines trying to prevent extra bases in there at the knees. Late in the game, everyone gets a little tighter. Way to get ahead on a really good hitter right there. Trying to close out a one-run lead here in the top of the ninth. that misses the zone and that’s ball one. The one-1 is fouled off. The Reds down to their final strike. That one almost got him. Big pitch coming right here. Last thing he wants to do is put the tying run on base, but he can’t groove one either. Got him. And that’s the ball game. I’d say you’re lying if you say you don’t feel a fivegame losing streak. This W definitely helps them relax a little bit and take some of the pressure off from it going to a six, seven, or even an eightgame losing streak. One- nothing the final. They hang on to win it by a run for Chris Singleton and our entire crew. I’m John Shami saying so long. Heat. Heat.
