live from cman stadium in Kansas City Missouri Major League Baseball on tap it's the Cleveland Guardians going up against the Kansas City Royals and we'll be back with the first pitch right after this just about set to go now our starter in this one Cole reag power pitcher he's fast velocity and out of his hand will EXP the breaking very for Cleveland St the pitch strike on the outside corner and with that in Kansas City here's one big swing and a [Applause] miss and now just off the outside part of the plate man oh man I don't know how you take that pitch that's as close as it gets back to the bound it hit and he can't come up with it safe at first no play we'll see how they score this comeer got him down low and you can really see him faing the leg PL leg which might be a concern Chris in that leg so he can on it like out there I think okay and try to continue here's Andre Jimenez swing and a high fly ball towards left field into the glove here's the Guardians lineup now and the key to victory for them here get their starter some run support early if they can get him that run support early it's likely the other team folds because they know how dominant he can be once he gets settled in so put pressure on that other team right away jump out to a lead early and a few runs is going to feel like 30 here's Jose Ramirez nice stop there's one to First not in time great effort there well there's a lot riding on that at bat right there nice job of the pitcher to Bear Down make the pitch get the ground ball excellent piece of work and now it's Josh Naylor known for his late inning [Music] heroics swings through that one o and one o and one step off throw to first and he's back in safely as a pitcher you don't want to throw him get me over fasts just for strikes you really need to command your pitches to this guy at the plate two outs that's out number three Guardians lead one and now the Royals will get their first shot in a scoreless ball game you're dialed into the show back here in Kansas City and today's starting pitcher Shane Bieber what do you have on him Chris well the big thing is that the way he holds his curveball it's more of a knuckle curve and because of that it's less predictable in terms of the break for the hitter that makes it that much harder to hit this guy now the Le Fiel MJ Mendez wine in the pitch wouldn't chase that [Applause] time the one just missed [Applause] next offering in there for a St and it's two and one left hand hitter Waits that one went straight back and got her up right in the Mas let's hope he's okay can't connect on the curve ball struck him out I got to think that was the plan all the way he set him up with high fast and then that curve down low get now espec in the Z days that's a devastating combination now here's Bobby Whit J that one out to right nice grab on the run and there's two away and here now the lineup for the Royals and now it's Salvador Perez to the plate first pitch misses two down do on bounced to [Applause] short not in time he SA Vinnie pasano strike one one's the count that one to first he takes it himself to the bag and that'll do [Applause] it all set for the start of the inning laurano comes up to hit behind the re back to work yeah there's the strike looks like he's just sizing him up there really good pitch to hit but he took it all away sometimes guys just want to set their timing later on in the game that may be a Pitch that he turns on kicks Indi check swing he went too far and it's a strike chase that time fights that one away still one and two and it's second got him and one away making a mo on pinch for the Guardians eston B nailor at the plate now he swings and misses at the first pitch one and one and that's skipor double barreled action in the bullpen Josh Taylor getting ready to go Stratton a rander loosening up as well with the goad run standing at second here at the top of the second next pitches downstairs highfly ball out to left field Melendez drifts towards it squeezes [Applause] iten will Brenan DS in know this is kind of a tough match up as a left-handed hitter facing a left-handed what you tell yourself is I want to stay Square to the play to the ball over the short Stop's head and a strike on the outside edge second inning here no score he takes it himself to the bag and that'll do it one the Guardians we'll go to the bottom of the second no score now into the game Gabriel arus he takes over as the new first Beman runner in scoring position no outs dur throw at the pl the right hander back to work and that one fouled off rander kick steals comes up empty that's strike two Carl Dixon working the plate in this one we often hear and talk about being a pitcher umpire but Bo Dixon maybe a little bit more hitter friendly than most he's kind of tight on the corners so we'll see if that comes into play at all in this one got him looking one gone here I don't know what he's looking for right there you have to be ready to swing the bat you can walk it off you're a little more aggressive looks like we've got a substitution at Second City run drone Blanco he's a potential winning run so they're hoping he could score in a base hit here's the second baseman Michael Massie Bieber checks the runner oh leaning he's out it's so rare that the pitcher is able to be that quick and make to second base it's just not a normal nice right there and this is that's a little bit low movement in the bullpen Nick sandling up and loosening in the pen Karen also getting ready the wi to the pitch just missed Vasquez up for Kansas City that one Clips the outside corner and a count is three and one two out space is empty that one fouled off fouled off again and it remains three and two little early on that fast I'm sure the pitcher taking a note look for an off speed pitch on this next one BS it back with two strikes and the pitch fouled off the plate they'll do it again ninth pitch of thebat do next on the ground right side tosses to First and that is that we'll move to the third with no score so coming into the game now on defense Austin no he takes over as the new firstan here's briano both sides equally as strong so not turn him pitcher and put him on the other side of the the pitch foul off down the right side and now the Lefty that one's upstairs ball one one and one the short stop takes a ball two and it's second swings through that one for strike [Applause] two and another ball mil stra next to B for Cleveland and here comes knocks that one away and we'll do it again outside and that is ball four he's making things difficult for himself right now but you know his confidence should still be high enough to get out of this but he's going to have to buckle down right here first and second no outs mil straw digs in for the guardian just off the Inside [Applause] Edge the Lefty the one just missed for the defitely theant in Runners to be aggressive on this next pitch that one misses and that's ball three Steven Quan Waits on De Brennan the lead runner at second Roo at first with no outs in for a strike on the ground a short could be two the throw to Second relay to First double [Applause] play and to into two [Applause] outs so batting order turns over Steven Quan digs in for the Guardians in a miss one count runner at third two [Applause] away swings and misses and it's and two good pitch right there tied him up on the hands if I'm out there on the I'm going right back in there out right through there got and a nice inning of work there as he sets him down one two three no run and Runner left we move on to the bottom of inning number three we're tied nothing nothing to the we to the last of the third so here's the Royals DH Nelson Velasquez now the right hander ready to go still no score and that is in for a strike one [Applause] one swing Miss struck him out slider got him for strike three wow just great that slid out of hson he's a potential winning run so they're hoping he can score in a base hit and now it's Kyle Isbell swings through that oh and one and that's outside one ball one [Applause] strike popped up to the left in foul ground he's under it calls it in two away here's the third baseman at the top of the list SC when you look at Players like this you play that Hot Corner got to be pretty courageous over there with the way balls come off the that's the kind of guy that every year you expect him to be in the allstar game and have a gold glove if not a platinum [Applause] glove that one in there across the letters that breaking ball is in for a strike and quickly it is nothing in two [Applause] e e [Applause] e e [Applause] e [Applause] e [Applause] e e [Applause] e [Applause] e [Applause] e [Applause] e [Applause] e
