Miami Marlins first pitch coming your way [Applause] next coming up on the first pitch and our pitcher tonight Edward Cabrera but Chris he hasn't exactly been Stellar here on his home now 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 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 all right ready to get underway here's CJ Abrams to hit down the middle for a strike and this one is off and running first 640 the wine of the pitch swinging a foul straight [Applause] back the wi to the pitch yep that ball went out go by him for the k definitely made him chase a little bit out of his own right there I don't think that's a strike if he takes it pretty textbook pitching get ahead in count get the guy in the Box on his heels and then force him to chase your pitch where he doesn't have much of a chance to do any damage here's Jesse Winker ball one there Cabrera the tall righty 215 lbs and he was born in the Dominican Republic one out base is empty nope [Applause] [Music] [Applause] outside now One [Applause] Missed in for a strike now three and [Applause] one and he takes a right [Music] two out the line out towards Center and there's two away thir here's Dave Martinez lineup for the Nationals this an offense Chris that's having a hard time scoring runs right now yeah sometimes things just aren't going to click and unfortunately what happens is players press they try to do a little bit more and they get out of their game you got to let the The Game come to you if you chase it it's going to run from you so this is a team that just needs to calm down relax and understand that they're going to come out of this swing and a ball ripped out towards right center field that'll touch down for a hit around first heading for two he's there it's a two out double well a swing like that can help you come out of the struggle we saw the numbers coming into the ball game all he's trying to do at this point is help his team win and now it's Luis [Applause] Garcia first pitch just misses the strategy of winning a ball game when you could make that pitcher work a little more expose himself by throwing pitches that could be the key to winning perhaps later on so good job of extending this inning getting a knock with two outs to bring the number four hole hitter up late swing foul to the left [Applause] in there at the knees and the count is one and two runner at second two down next pitch is [Applause] outside swing and a ball hit out towards left center field pulls it down and he makes the catch and that'll do it Nationals leave one and now the Marlins will have a crack at things no score it's major league baseball and it's on the show back here in Miami getting the nod in this one Mitchell Parker Chris what are you looking for from him well he's been a real quality starter for his club and coming into this one what stands out for me is that right-handed hitters have really struggled batting below 200 on the year it seems that they have a hard time picking up his release point and tracking the ball into the zone so we'll see how right-handers do against him in this one here's the second basan Luis AR swings and sends a rocket to right and it's caught for the out and time now for the Marlins lineup and Chris this group has been struggling to put up runs lately well they haven't been on base a ton and even when they are they haven't been hitting very well with the runners on base so they need a guy or two to really Step Up have some quality at bats hit according to the situation and sort of break out of this I think if they do the rest of this lineup will follow Brian Del Cruz batting with one down takes a strike and now the Lefty and that's his in there at the [Applause] knees swings and misses struck him out got away with that curveball no doubt about it it passed right through the heart of the strike zone and he just couldn't get the bat on it when you strike out on one like that that's when you start having conversations with yourself and they're not usually very friendly Josh Bell in the box with two gone and takes a look at a called strike [Applause] that's off the mark and the count even one and one two out space is [Applause] empty next offering is downstairs two balls one strike and that one wrapped foul two down nobody on and another [Applause] [Music] ball gets a piece and stays alive two outs bows it back back with two [Applause] strikes and he walked him that's a great at bat he saw a lot of pitches and earned a walk now this was a story we were paying attention to before the game we've seen him give up walks in the pass and it's an issue once again early on Jazz Chisum Jr now right down to shoot that's strike one [Applause] that one fouled off Pitch misses and that's ball one pretty standard High 02 fastball right there if you're smart look for something down in the zone but not too far don't want to chase that breaking ball in the dirt Bell off of first with two away bounce to the right Fair ball lead Runner gets the stop sign at third it's a two out double second and third now nice job even at Bears he turned on it down the line and once it got through the infield it was a double all the way so two a board and two out scoreless game abil Garcia the next up for the [Applause] Marlins and fouled [Applause] off two outs two in scored position and that's off the Inside Edge and it's one and [Applause] one missed he's got a base open so the pressure to come in and really attack this hitter not as great as it would be if the bags were sacked [Applause] [Music] and a pitch that ball is foul and the pressure is building second and third two now breaking ball and that got him he had two strikes on him and he hit him here's Tim Anderson well there's no hiding in this spot base is loaded now and no more wiggle room for any more mistakes like that that one finds the zone and that's strike one [Applause] here comes a pitch strike to Anderson and a bat like this is almost over as it begins in this situation you have no idea what the next pitch is going to be you're just got to hope that you can make contact down the line and it's foul [Applause] Short Stop takes the [Applause] ball base hit one run is in the second run scores it's two zip gets the job done as he brings home a pair he really shot that one down the right field line and somehow found a way to keep it from slicing foul one thing that was great about the approach his head was down all the way through the pitch and that's how you do it and now the first baseman Emmanuel Rivera and there's a foul ball [Applause] [Applause] right Miami Lefty out of the stretch Runners at first and third F off foul and a swing and a miss and that's [Applause] that but two runs for them and they jump ahead second inning coming up here in South Florida it's the Marlins two and the Nationals nothing and welcome back to the ballark all set for the start of the inning and now it's kebert Ruiz Ruiz well after putting up a nice Inning on offense got some runs across this is where you look for the starter to go out there have a shutdown inning don't give that other team any hope uh you just hope that he can get through this inning get the bats back up there while they're hot a new pitcher in the game Anthony Maldonado he's been so good against lefties the pitch this one smoked out to left no trouble here puts it away for the out and there's one away Trey lip digging in for the [Applause] Nationals that one catches the zone and it's O and one really good cutter that he's able to front door and back door that pitch is devastating next offering is in for a strike love how vocal the Umpire is today no doubt in The Hitter mind catcher mind and even the pitcher mind as to the conviction in the call they tried to get him to chase on a slider down and Away the Nets down by a pair here at the top of the second the next pitch misses and the count is two and two wouldn't chase that [Applause] [Music] [Applause] time one down base is empty and that's Ball [Applause] Four that right here's Eddie Rosario [Applause] [Music] Eddie run around the goal hard grounder into the outfield for a knock lead Runner touches second headed for third and they'll have Runners at the quarters after a one out single waste no time there once you get the batt by the pitcher there's a lot of base hits up the middle even on ground ball so a nice job to use that big hole and get himself aeit [Applause] now it's Nick senzel good power not great in the OBP department and that one fouled off the last thing he wants is to hit the ball on the ground but I wouldn't expect many pitches up in the zone they'll be pitching for a double play in this [Applause] spot that one off the Mark Ball aside to home plate duty is Ricky holiday Bo and something I've heard players saying about Ricky strike zone is how he will call the high strike that could be something that's tough to deal with especially if you've got a pitcher out there coming at you with high velocity two on one out rolled over to third there's one and that's two one hit one left we go to the bottom of inning number two it's the marins two and the Nationals nothing we head to the bottom of the second and now it's Vidal [Applause] bruhan the Lefty [Music] fires line to left and that's down a base hit and the leadoff man the [Applause] board well that started and ended pretty quickly no messing around right there nice line drive to the P side met it out front but just stayed through it nice enough and ripped it into the Outfield so a man aboard and at the pl for Miami Christian bethan [Applause] cour Bing ball here rolls foul ruhan on at first nobody [Music] [Applause] out good eye right [Applause] there next off is down [Applause] low and another ball three balls one Str next offering is in for a strike one way to make a guy real uncomfortable with the plate is pound him inside with good ball velocity they're doing that right here the pitch fouled off again and it remains three and two the pitch that's foul off to the right side keeps the ab going good battle here about to be the eighth pitch of theat [Applause] Edie di foul ball and it remains a full [Music] count and here it comes on the ground to third szel quickly to Second for one back to First and that is a double play as a former player watching 5 for three double plays brings back some adrenaline it's such an exciting play and it's always a great reminder of baseball being such a team sport back to the top of the Miami order Louisa rise stands in that's inside and that's ball [Applause] one two down nobody on hey [Applause] there's a strike this strong second inning is a confidence builder for him a relief for his manager doesn't have to get into that Bullpen quite as [Music] [Applause] early and down on strikes and good work there as he gets a one two three after two it's a two nothing ball game back here at low deple Park top half of the third inning and stepping in is the Speedy number 30 moldonado back to work pitch misses and that is ball one and another ball two balls no strike kick sandal and a foul ball makes the count two and one comes up empty that's strike q that was a certain point where you have to commit to what you think you see and he guessed wrong right there nasty slider with just terrific fight at the end slings to first lead off hitter gone in the third CJ Abrams digging in for the Nationals struck out swinging his first time that pitch Clips the outside corner one one the fish leading by two we're here in the top half of inning number three that's off the mark and now it's even one and one [Applause] fouls one off out of play back to our left Fly ball down the line and it stays Fair the throw into second not going to get him he's in there just a blue pit behind third right there and that's a really tough play for a third baseman or short stop to get to and the same for the left fielder so he just felt found a perfect place to drop that one in right there Jesse Winker digs in now over for one so [Applause] far slapped foul one out and a runner at second pickoff throw and he Dives back in [Applause] safely and there's a rocket into the Outfield around third he'll score and it's a one-run game well back within one as he brings home the run really good swing right there he got a pitch that he knew he could handle allowed himself to stay back just a tad bit longer and he hit the ball on the screws and now up for Washington Joey manessis doubled his first time up and a foul ball left side y one that one ripped this looks like extra bases Linker on his way to third coming home relay throw home he scores and the Nationals tie it up it's 22 well we're starting over again all tied up just a solid swing right there caught it out front and ripped it into the outfield for the base hit those always feel [Applause] great man it's second with one away so next will be the Four Hole hitter for the Nationals Luis Garcia and that one just misses a ball and no strikes messes leads off second with one gone in the inning [Applause] lined in left Center and that should be extra bases rounds third headed for the plate he scores and they have the lead three to two safely into second he's got a double seeing some good swings from him right now with consecutive extra base hits that was exactly what you're looking to do with the pitch away especially in that situation drive it into the opposite field Gap got himself two bags on a great swing of the bat now the catcher up to him hit Hebert Ruiz he's over one and [Applause] downstairs hammer and this one could be extra bases headed for the plate he scores it's 42 and into second with one away that's a double they are really feeding off each other that's five hits in a row I'll tell you man it's such a good feeling when you smoke a line drive into the Gap like that I mean sure home runs are ping but I feel like nothing makes you feel like a true professional hitter more than a bul the other way on the mound now Ryan weathers and that's a big potential run out there at second as he comes in trying to keep the deficit where it is for the infielders they got to be thinking about keeping the ball from getting by them into the Outfield any way they can one down Trey lipam digging in for the Nationals worked to walk in his first trip to the plate right side and that one handled steps on first for the out good slider inside right there batter fighting to get there just rolled over got the ground ball Eddie Eddie Rosario digging in for the Nationals one for one with a single so [Applause] far splits the plate that's strike one I know they've gotten out to an early lead but you don't want to take these opportunities for granted with two outs still lock in with a quality at bat drive in that run you may not have another Runner and scoring position the rest of this ball game two outs
