one final time one last ride in Oakland for the Tigers here in the East Bay it is a Sentimental day for the skipper AJ hinch among others as the Tigers make their final voyage inside the walls of the Oakland Coliseum and it's right-hander JT gin on the mound for the Athletics and we have talked about the weapon that JT gin has and that's that big sinking fast ball two2 pitch first down of the game is a strike out for JT gen pop it up in foul ground it looks to stay playable for Schuman fighting the Sun and he makes the catch hitting the deck right before the A's Bullpen Mound again Max Schuman showing off the range not an easy play at all to make and Max Schuman now once again fighting the sun Sun's undefeated so that's a tough battle he's able to go into a nice little slide that ball is just scooped off the dirt into center field base hit for Riley green a two out single just reaching down to touch that ball yeah how about that a change up and Riley just takes this off the ground and just lobs it into center field two two and it's on the inside corner G gets him looking for batter's face just one hit allowed but no runs and that's the most important no score Bo brisy who's making his 38th appearance and Ninth start of 2024 and also the second appearance of this series got the loss on Friday first pitch outside to the dangerous Lawrence Butler broken bat it's a roller to second base and a glove scoop by Keith for out number one so backto back walks Rooker to Second P at first and langelier is coming up called strike three right on the corner beautiful pitch two gone that's exactly it just making really good pitches on that outside part of the plate swing and a miss strike three that'll do it for the A's rally in the first no score Zack gof first pitch swinging against the new pitcher Tai Madden grounds out to start the second inning of a scoreless game he's now facing the 24-year old native of Houston Texas one and two to Gray and there a fast ball puts him away Tai Madden feeling good right out of the bullpen first pitch ground ball short stop it's Sweeny getting around it throwing on Schuman and Tai Madden just needed one hand and one finger to Total the number of pitches two strikes on Sweeney from gin that Ball's Dr by Sweeny deep right field it is gone up the staircase for a one- nothing lead swe know that there's some power in that bat but we were talking about that slider if he executes it he could be really tough but that's the happy zone change up strike on the outside corner to Jace Young Who popped out his first time up fine play by Schuman at third that's a fair baseball into the right field corner it goes it kicks off the sidewall and settles there for Jace Young so a Homer and a double on two strikes in the inning for Tigers rookies Riley GRE just got hit on the front shoulder by again he'll be awarded first base two on two out I like this match up with Carpenter ITT G Line Drive center field down for a base hit Carrie Carpenter comes through two nothing Tigers again went back to that Sinker and Carrie just said yeah throw it a little bit higher and I'll be waiting for it and just goes out to get it that's a good piece of hitting and I think the Tigers already are starting to adjust a little bit it's pulled on the ground and Diving play in the back on the back hand by gra flips again in time they make the play and the inning so a single for mckinstry and now here's Sweeney homered on the steps down the right field line Fly ball in the air left center field long run Brown and blade to the wall Off the Wall they're going to try it anyway with tlon he does score everybody had to hold up and so Sweeny gets a very long single out of it but it's three nothing Bo that ball just kept carrying and carrying and carrying off the bat it wasn't so sure Tai Madden is filling up the strike zone my ball test tells me I'm seeing a very confident young man on the mount one up and one down left field Side Green going back at the track Riley green makes the catch but man again just having to battle that sun and what a route this is and leaping up and catching that over the shoulder here's Lawrence Butler taking outside for ball one Lawrence hits it far on the left field line that's an 18 game hitting streak turning it first and holding with a single that's awesome that is something else man 18 straight first hit for Oakland today is a two out single in the fifth Runner now going and the pitch is taken and the throw to second is not in time well dog he does it all right so Butler steals second he has not been caught stealing this year by the way swing and a miss the splitter takes him down how about that having the faith to throw it three and two and get the swing and Miss that's a veteran right there and now they is for the first time today have a rally going against the Tigers with Runners at second and third here's Gill off with the infield back and gof goes that way and drives it in right that'll bring home one run they'll hold up round a third and gof takes what he's given and puts one on the board for the green and gold it's three to one well this is the approach that you wanted to see from Zack yell it's been four straight fast balls to this and it is the cutter for strike three swing and a miss strike three it's the splitter and it was a how about that finish right there from Tai Madden to get out of that jam it's Ross strippling surprised that we didn't see Ross yesterday so Sweeny steals second Tolson held it third and that'll bring up Parker Meadows who serves it in the left Center he did it again all the way way to the wall Parker on the gas pedal he'll stop at second it's 5-1 Tigers man oh man what a good at bat he gets that Sinker down and Parker Meadows knows what exactly the speed he's going to get that's the same same speed as the change up finally got one here's Matt verling a right-handed hitter that's a hit now the parade continues 6 to one off of this knock from Matt verley that fing just goes down and gets a curveball and lashes this into Center Field Green at the plate this going to make it seven to one Riley Green's got a base hit to Right Here Comes verling This throw is late Riley into second base the tigers are motoring here in the eighth another Change Up Down kry Carpenter this another hit to left field and the Tigers jam band continues to hammer away it's a Carpenter RBI double and the horn section has become a boo section and that's just a cutter on the outside part of the plate that just stays right there and Carrie Carpenter not trying to pull it the rander grant hullman comes out of the bullpen to work for the Athletics Keith takes fast ball up in the away ball one this T left field is yet another base hit and Colt Keith gets an RBI Brown drops the ball Carpenter scores and the Tigers have made it 9 to one that's five straight hits it is E7 on an RBI single bottom of the ninth against Kent Mi 9 to1 Detroit it's to short stop it was the splitter and that's the ball game the tigers with a six run inning in the eighth put away the A's a series Victory and right there is a three and 1 half game spread between the Twins and the Tigers heading home the home begins on Tuesday against the Rockies in a very happy flight coming how about that job by time Madden as well as those big that big six run
