Rays vs. Angels Game Highlights (8/4/25) | MLB Highlights

The Rays have really struggled if you look at their numbers in the second half, five and 11 in the second half. But I look at their last 17 road games. They are three and 14 in their last 17 road games. The Angels catching the Tampa Bay Rays at the right moment. They’re on their longest road trip in years. They’re on a 14 game road trip. You say Capucci on the mound, it’s going to be really big for him to be efficient, especially early in the game. Get a little bit deeper in the ballgame, get a chance to pick up a victory, get his fifth win of the year all at home this season diving attempt by Theodosia and it goes by him to the wall, backed up by Adele and the second Yandy Diaz starts the game and starts the trip with a two B. Well, a calculated gamble there made on the opening hitter of a ball game and you’ve got to be sure you’re going to be able to get to it if you play that into a single man at second. No out kim will be the batter down the right field line it’s a base hit for Kim Diaz will be held at third and the Rays get 1st and 3rd right out of the shoot against you, say first and third, not out your top home run. And RB I guy coming up and junior coming straight away to do has it and he scores. Kim thought about going to second, but he’ll go back to first. It’s a sack fly for Junior Rays. Lead one nothing one ball, two strikes on more swing and a miss strike three high fastball out number two and Johnny Deluca will be the next batter. Here’s the next pitch and this is lifted high in the air. This ball is carrying deep out there in the left field on the warning track, making the catch with a few feet to spare is Taylor Ward, Adrian Hauser making his debut. It’s the big House Adrian Houser , 32 year old veteran right hander in his ninth season in the major leagues was traded earlier this year. First start with the Tampa Bay Rays 6 to 2 with a 210. a in the 11 starts. He had for the White Sox 68 2 3rd innings and he gets a strikeout as his first moment with the Rays. How about that? That’s a full count. That’s, this is the two. See, this is the sinker, watch the late action on that pitch and that’s why Neto shaking his head. How did I miss that two down for mike Trout. The designated hitter tonight. 12 is swing and a miss strike three beautiful change up from Houser. He has a perfect first inning as a ray and he strikes out a pair. Josh Lowe left on left against, you see the pitch swinging a ball pulled on the ground to second to his left in with it and throwing the first, not in time. Oh, boy, I’ll tell you what, josh, that’s why you don’t take , I love it when players do that , you know, you see that ground ball and instead of assuming that, that, you know, ground ball four three, josh Lowe is having none of it. Here’s the pitch and there’s a chase and a miss and walls goes down, struck him out on a fastball. Perfect spot cannot get those arms extended runner at second with two outs and two strikes on the batter to strike three change up strikeouts in the inning for in three, the first time through the batting order tonight. And that’s going to roll in the left center for the first hit leadoff single here to start off the bottom of the second. And you will be a next swinging a ground ball toward the hole at second flagged down by Kim. One hop throw to second is in time to get the force out, but that’s all they get. That’s not an easy play by either guy. Kim going into the hole and having to pivot and get that throw off and Then Taylor walls coming across second base that’s got to handle. That has been in a for 16 right now. There’s a fly ball to left hit pretty well for the that is gone. The Angels first homer by right off this year and it’s 2 to 1 snaps that over 16 home run number 22 of the year and the Angels have a 21 lead 2nd and 3rd 2 out. Got to be careful with the top of the order coming back up. And this is a guy who knows how to handle the bat. The pitch swinging a ground ball toward third hit by coming. He set throws in time is retired on a good sinker by House has here out of the three that he’s faced in the inning. Christopher Mll is due up swing and a miss on a fastball strike three, the third strikeout with his fastball at 97. He has got many swing and misses with his breaking stuff today, but the fastball has been effective pitch count is really mounting in this game already for ready and a 22 again and there is a swing and a miss he struck him out. So he walked to in the inning, he strikes out to and they leave two on the Angels have their leadoff man on here is mike Trout. There’s a liner to left field, that ball hit sharply away. Over the head of one off the wall to left Trout against a guy who really profiles well against and a laser beam of a double 113. I was waiting to see what that was going to pop up as is how hard that was. 113.4 more RBI. I chances for Taylor Ward who has reached his career high with 82 runs batted in on the season , broken bat hit for scores. Trout’s on his way home, two more runs batted in for Taylor Ward 84 on the year. And the Angels lead 4 to 1. Any time you bring that infield in, you always give the hitter a chance to get a base hit like that. He was able to punch that through and there’s still nobody out in the third and the Angels threatening to blow this wide open. Now you got joe Adell at the plate who already has a two run homer tonight way up in the air and Mangum did he make that catch? So apparently, so I got to be honest, I lost it in the sky cro couldn’t find it. Walls was trying to find it was the only guy in the yard that saw the thing. What a great job of tracking that and making a difficult play just as he gets to the wall. It’s not like he got there in time to be able to camp out again. A 2 to 2 ground ball to short handled by walls throws to second and just in time to get the Husan Mata and there’s a runner at second and one out for the Angels double play, I think. Yeah, he stayed on the base of the walls came off but he was on just enough to get the double play. He goes 4 to 6. Cucci has struck out six in four innings. Here’s his next pitch, ground ball deep in the hole. It short, it’s stopped by Netto. The catcher is running and the throw is gonna get him at first base and now Netto is getting up a little slowly after making that stop, he turned that wrist and quickly on the throw and a great stretch by sea. That’s how Christian Moore got hurt about a month ago. What a stretch to be going to Pilates classes that, that initial stink to it, hopefully he’ll be able to work its way out. So if you’re going to stay in the ball game for now, two out now in the fifth inning. 01 groundball hits over the hole. It short handle on a couple of hops by wall side arm flip gets Adle and Houser allows just a single here in the fifth. He’s thrown a couple of scoreless innings, but it’s 41. Angels had a tough time with fastball so far trying to get through six for the first time since June 25th. High ball to right center hit pretty well. Adell is back. So is Teodosio out near the wall , Adell makes the catch right up against the fence and just right , kept it in the arci liking that play by joe Adell and here’s the next pitch and that is a called third strike. Got him looking seventh strikeout for Kuchi today. 10 in a row retired by Kuchi back to the mound, might have hit Bobbles his the magician doing it again. That ball was kind of a hot potato bounced by the mound and Then Neto had it come scooping out of his glove into his throwing hand and he fired a strike to first two out. Nobody on ASIO bats, two hits and a steal tonight liner to right center moving back and it’s over the head of Lowe. It’s the first extra base hit for Teodosio in his career and he’s three for three tonight. What a night? Netto will be in the batter zero for three night for zack Netto. Netto rips one to the left field corner that will drive in another run comes home Zack Netto on his way to second base RB I double the Angels lead 5 to 1 a leadoff walk. So Zep John allows the first batter to reach here in the eighth inning as Como will be the batter 1 to 2 and a swing and a miss strike 398 10th strike out for Angels pitching tonight swing and a miss strike three and there’s the fourth strikeout tonight for more. Got him out with a sweeper. This time was in the strike zone to get him out. Bouncer up the middle Moore is able to backhand it races to second is in time on a close play to get Kim on the 47 that ends the inning. Connor Brogden will try to finish it out. The Rays are down to their final out in this ball game. Strike three, say good night to the Rays. The Angels with a well pitched effort beat the Tampa Bay Rays tonight 5 to 1 a lot to like about this team effort.
