of the change up and that was the run that fromer Valdez is on right now 14 straight scoreless Innings those are between his two outings against the Kansas City Royals and the Diamondbacks respectively and this is a guy who three and a half games behind Houston notice at times yesterday maybe the fatigue settling in here he's going to hit a ground ball to John Singleton flip over to fber but it's dro let's see what in stolen base attempts and he said he wants to get to 20 Rooker fouling that off it's 0 and two Bas on an air and now Brent Rooker is going to try Valdez looks at Butler and delivers the pitch two and two well obviously there's a little history here between these two fellas both was 442 and they do check over on Lawrence gets back and the payoff pitch a grounder to bregman he'll back up over to second duban on to First and it's just unfortunate because it takes a lot of work Jenny to get ahead of a two strikes one and one here for shayang leers and Rooker taking off and no throw from Diaz so Bren Rooker will he's facing fber watches there he'll take his96 whip walks and hits check J and now another Full Count that's three that's going to be strike three JJ new [Music] Goff onew grounder back to Valdez he'll back it up and he flips it over to has to do it too often with Jose Altuve in that spot it's going to get past the diving Nick Allen But Here Comes Jacob Wilson what a play Spence Here Comes yuran Alvarez and he'll take the first pitch I mean he was a guy who he's been paired up with Max Schuman Factor today happen to scatter eight hits against the Tigers this one on the ground and Zack G will charge in two ground ball outs for Mitch Spence one of and Swinging there that Ball's going to land in right field Lawrence Butler on the chase reported one of his two hits since returning from the I almost a week [Music] ago still is yet to play the field and I'm not sure N Strike three today as Jacob Wilson leads off the second already made a great defensive play but a stick slow roller there to dubon and one gone well and not taking anything away to me he didn't have the smudge though oh he did nothing wrong with it might have been in a rush you never know ball for Tyler Nevan leave a little streak if you feel so confident in it ground ball to sure for NE and John Singleton but fber not being able to collect the ball does you can stay out of trouble and I think we've got a f he has got a weapon of a sinker that falls right at John singl he'll make damage they're trying to sweep the Rockies right now and stay in the playoff hunt to finish with another winning mon here in September and this team currently sitting at five and five great point and a swing a Miss for pñ green and gold 16 and 10 a winning better here on the road as of late to left field charging in do Cameron and it's going to bounce fair right in the line out of play it'll be a double for John Singleton finish of that's baseball right this is a ground ball to Jacob Wilson he'll hold the runner over to First Kyle mccan in the Crawford boxes and it goes as an out a homer is a homer is a homer right andas Hayward trying to make it the same two to nothing lead off the first Homer of the series from a Houston Astro and it comes off the bat of Jason [Applause] Hayward an astro had six earlier this year with it's been kind of part of the conversation the last Tucker trying to work back in where can you get some extra offense from slow grounder to gof and the I think when you get guys in the rotation like that Dallas is the compete factor that that plays out a couple different ways and one if you have all their own and I think when you've got four Five Guys much like pass the Baton and one up each other that's when that really starts take hold but to your point you've got two guys earn some votes for a top five finish Nick Allen on the ground to Short Stop and paa more of a change of pace pitch than the change up and can this get Fair it does Lawrence Butler going for two and Lawrence Butler's extended the hit streak 2003 burnsy if you're watching he's coming for you that's right two pitch [Music] minimum one two to Rooker fouled been a separator and Rooker going to the opposite field this one in the air though and catchable for Jason Hayward Lawrence Butler is going to use the opportunity to move up 90 fet capitalize two outs here for shaying leers to lay off the first pitch think to your point we've seen a lot more of that come on late this one towards right field as well in foul for shayang alers 170 continues to Blossom here in 2024 and it's now Allstar Brent Rooker see what he did there she brought me cookies yesterday this to Jacob Wilson and the easy liner and around the organization a gentleman who has que the two throw a ground ball right side Goff will make the second out's got a big hand in that first pitch swinging for Yer Diaz it's going to land in Shallow SS actually a catcher some at first base maybe a little DH here off the swing from Kyle tuck missing there two and one two strikes traffic and every inning here for Mitch here's a chopper tough spot for Nick Allen he has to work around the runner and he get not even 3 feet in my opinion to try to point the official scoring there if you keep a book at home as a fielder's choice that he was just out of the base path and to your point trying to avoid a tag but I feel that ultimately vist this year in terms of the runner out of the base path more Focus down the line on first base but four let's just call it a four out situation yeah they're easy to come by in the big leagues why not trying to time it up with a base runner Pi the up here's the 02 to Zack gof that's outside man swinging a miss the curveball bade looking at a slider there's a ground ball hot shot at bregman Who's down on the ground as two outs and one on Tyler Nevin comes up he fires off at the first pitch fouls nice ball getting away and Wilson will move up to second one two and another strike out the curveball yeah probably a little too young called strike it this one into right field it's going to land Fair fourth with Jake Myers up he squares around to bunt lays it down MC Gallen charging in and it goes down as a might hit the brakes there's the guy that did the damage so far in the game and what guys will do sometimes is it's interesting it's like a half PA from the back foot now a full count and you see that here's the payoff pitch it's a grounder to first base na will check rean fouling one back during the at bat you know and if two and one how true do you think that's what it looks like out of the box here's a ground ball Nevan will grab it he'll have to tag the runner and Mauricio a pair of those look like you have a lot to do in the stands today you got to bring your there's the one out of Da Cameron that's outside it's from did not paint on the A's again Jeremy Ray hack the plate umpire and there's called strike three that's a he's really in sync today playing a new position ground ball foul on the third base side 32 ER it's a guy that's continued to shave down the ear Innings and it's going to go past the glove and what a play if it finishes there from Nick Allen thought he had him beat out couple of postseason for the Astros they've been to seven consecutive ALCS doubles now eight homers and this one over fber valdez's head and Peña once again will field it on the r how about that bregman over to Nick Allen and swung gone put it in the baby book although I I still have just one and0 to yordon Alvarez and there's a called strike that's a fair ball Tyler Nevan starting to run to the bag and there it is this one on the ground to Wilson three ground ball outs for Mitch Spence on a six for 21 first pitch strikes fromer Valdez and bregman will play The Hop one gone PR quiet since that second inning this a slow roller to bregman he's going to have to charge in a bit more rolled up for framber and there's a hot shot pass to diving John Singleton this will go to the corner and right field JJ blit got his signature anywhere I do not the record in Oakland set that earlier this week and the grounder to dub Bon will get Goff out so BL nervous to see what that has to say this popped up Sky High on the left side of the infield and Nick Gallen will dance around until the ball comes down finally does one out even more so for a guy who's made his way out of the bullpen ability to go out and pitch and figure out how much you can trust yourself trust your stuff I think that matters and that can really help a guy settle in especially as a a young player in this league first time around you just want to know can my stuff compete can it play and it it's not just you know reserved for one team ground ball to Nick Allen and Fielding the third base position quite nicely today two outs well where's Nick Allen at home well he's at home on a the baseball field maybe even more so in the infield but it doesn't matter where the dude's a ball player and we've got more than a few of those guys in that Clubhouse so to the point of the young teams that we highlighted A's Tigers the way they've played just young guys continuing to get better John Singleton a couple doubles today 10 on the season two for two and a big swing for Big John [Music] Singleton he do a single yesterday but four hits against the Oakland A's here this series that's foul well you got to remember way back when the start of this year Jose bro was the first baseman of this team sure was and then he wasn't and then he wasn't project did not work out well for the Houston Astros they tried to give him some time buy him some time down at the minor league level and when that didn't work out out insert John Singleton there's 35 games for Jose oo this year and a 124 batting [Applause] [Music] average John Singleton just looking to spin right now on Mitch Spence [Applause] check him Alex McCay says no he didn't see him load up on that backside did not go [Applause] around count evened up [Applause] two and here's the grounder to gelof a nice one two three inning for Mitch Spence to go do some contract deals listen I'll play in about 12 stadiums it to be Jacob Wilson dumping one out into center field the dive in effort from Jake Myers gets past him a lot of the inter league matchups early and just didn't pitch IAL for a while Nan on the ground D Bon will have a play at first and Jacob Wilson trying pitch to Daz swung on hard it's going to hit the Gap here comes a run home as Cameron with an RBI single and he saw Abu early that's going to be a fair ball Singleton steps on first they're going to have to tag do ceron and they get the dudes on the diamond doing work Rich Spence still doing work here his first career start at third base this is the A's fifth chance to get Angeles Angels well and send them on their way yeah hard ground ball to the short stop Jacob Wilson and one down game it's also gone seven back on June 9th to a 12 ining Affair he'd like to get a couple nice Starts Here ground ball get Jason Hayward two outs coming you learned behavior rcio du B out towards left center field and this ball is going to land and bounce off the bullpen wall JJ blade will collect in a two out double from ground ball outs and looking for a similar result here from Alex bregman swings at it the ground ball result they wanted and Jacob Wilson over to Seth Brown Butler Rooker Lang [Applause] oh nower goes trying to get his on base streak to keep moving this one in the air this one has some distance and this one has tied the ball game Brent Rooker with a hitting 281 vers right-handers this one towards left field going back at the warning track to make the catches two for three today he swings at the first pitch and he sends it into right field one out single for Yer and that's three singles on the day hit on the scoreboard before they recorded his third hit of the gameon looming on Deck College ATA now finds himself and a tight one here in Houston lifted in the air to right field Lawrence Butler will grab it moving up 90 ft is Jer Diaz and now Runners on the corners and Singleton sends one into the Outfield this will bring the go-ahead run in as Tucker charges towards third John Singleton right now the A's just scuffling not able to do anything against Singleton cannot get this man out right now and he has made it hurt fourth knock of the Day none bigger than this one [Applause] called strike to Jake Meyers one-run decision belonged to Oakland this is a liner into the Gap left center field it's going to Roar towards the wall and Tucker will come in 4 to two with a stop sign at third for single [Applause] T hey you know Jenny I think you just you think about how that's going to find a hole another run coming in as John Singleton's play it around comes Jake Meers throw at the plate and he's safe got a back pick safe for well duon just able to find a hole here on the left side pulls this ball through D Cameron comes up firing just a tad late for Jake Myers [Music] boths took look at both both and conf had to place CH McCormick on the I today with
