J manly in and the Lefty delivering a strike to Miguel aaya Maya for two Cubs lead 3-2 they’ve been out hit 73 b a strike now and Diamondbacks have had a lot of chances they’ve left 11 men on base here today J mandly one of the busier guys in baseball last year pitching 75 times think about this guy as sort of a you know not a hard thrower he’s never been a a big leverage Guy and because of the way their pitching stepped up or stacked up I should say he ended up starting a game in the World Series in 2023 game four against the Rangers P outside used him as an opener a couple of times last year the pitch swing and a liner base hit out of the right center field Miguel Amaya that’s been nothing but double so far for Miguel until this swing of the the bat and he gets a change up that stay up a little bit on the ground to third yeah well done half Yeah Boy smart play there we’re talking about earlier you got a chance to get yourself a knock and if not you move an important insurance run into scoring position surprise Suarez was playing as far back as he was basically conceding that to Ian [Music] H Yeah you mentioned it a couple of times and he heard you here’s seya Suzuki leaned on one is last time up and there’s a [Music] strike to high AJ Puck is the closer for the Diamondbacks we’ve not yet seen him in this series 1 one on the ground towards the hole Pomo picks it up quickly return return to first down at first Quint Barry saying no no no yeah I thought I thought he’ beat it and they’re going to take a look [Music] Chicago is challenging both the out call at second base and the out call at first base the previous play is under review they’re taking a second look a second opinion is always a good idea get yours at Northwest e medicine I’m going to be so bold as to Mark SE safe at first base on my scorecard yeah this shouldn’t take long yep that’s huge just one out with a man on third base here for Kyle Tucker [Music] one of those situations where it’s two for the price of one so you might as well challenge to play at second as well I don’t think there’s any doubt that Ian was out at second yeah he was out by a lot but it’s one of those deals where you get a chance just for the heck of it and hear the CB fans in the ballpark reacting they could tell that Suzuki was safe what do you got Dan bolo after review the ruling at second base is confirmed the runner is out the ruling at first base is overturned and the runner is safe Chicago will retain its challenge so clearly out I love the reaction of the Cub fans in the ballpark they didn’t realize they they challenged both so once they heard call is confirmed they started to freak out it’s like hang on it’s going to be okay folks yeah well an opportunity with one out for Kyle Tucker in field about halfway and that is hammered right field way back forget it Kyle Tucker will touch them all a three-run hoverer and the Cubs lead it six to2 Bang Yeah took a swing at that one like he knew it was coming and that’s what I really enjoy watching him hit because sometimes he’s really patient other times he looks to Ambush just a smart hitter with a plan when it goes to the plate this home run is brought to by Hefty Hefty Hefty Ultra strong ultra low price sat back on that breaking ball and unloaded heads up and the Cubs Bullpen look at out Kyle Tucker takes man apply deep and the Cubs have some Breathing Room Tucker second of the series second of the year and it is 62 pitching change brought to you by Lakeside back leg side back it’s about time new pitcher will be just in Martinez young Fireball in right-handed with that power Sinker average fast ball vo up over 100 miles hour pitch hitter will be Michael [Music] Bush we in the eigh the Kyle Tucker Homer has given the Cub some room two and0 to Bushy and big swing and he fouls it back to a two now and that’s in there and Bush is gone it’s not a lot of fun is it come off the bench to pinch it and you’re dealing with a guy throwing a 102 milph so now two away and it’s Danby Swanson Kyle Tucker went up there thinking Mana is going to just try to get that little get over breaking ball to get ahead of me and then go to work from there and he’s said I’m not going to let him do it yeah that’s where you’re at a spot right because you’re talking about a guy who has a reputation to take his walks he’s patient and he has the advant added Advantage if he wants to change the messaging and jump on that first pitch on two to Dansby Cubs after this one will head off to Sacramento Monday Tuesday and Wednesday against the Athletics game one tomorrow and we’ll get a chance to see Ben Brown make his first start two night game on a maea on Wednesday There’s a 90% chance of rain in Sacramento tomorrow 90 [Music] 90 broken bat flared out towards left Center in an noine space second hit for Dansby Swanson he had a blast earlier and here comes the bloop a broken bat but a knock nonetheless think danby’s broken three or four bats in this [Music] series by the way JD Tuesday there’s an 85% chance of rain much better that’s in Sacramento by the way the Yankees put another beat down on the Brewers today they only scored 12 today they scored 20 yesterday man they had four more home runs today after going deep nine times nine times nine times I don’t remember Ferris being sick nine times it’s cuz he wasn’t sick he was skipping school wake up and smell the coffee Mrs bu it’s a Fool’s Paradise he’s just leading you down the Primrose path judge Homer today yeah ground ball base hit right field Carol will pick it up and ni with his first knock of the day hitting the ball a lot in that direction in the series and effectively so man he worked hard to get on top of of that one [Music] outside ball one to Pete Crow Armstrong look out a case of the popups today on the ground but foul [Music] swing and a miss and it’s one and two one at 101 struck him out Pete Crow Armstrong down on strikes but Kyle Tucker with two aboard gets into one King Tuck his second of the year and the Cubs have a 63 lead Alec Thomas who nearly hit a home run his last time up lead off the eighth in against left-hander Caleb thielbar Michael Bush who hit for Justin Turner stays in the game and takes over at first for the Cubs Alex singled in the fourth he did get an RBI sack fly of that near Miss Homer but boy he belted it out to deep right center and came up just shy of a homer he’s really hit the ball well in this series two left-handers lead off the inning for the Diamondbacks so Caleb thielbar back out there for the Cubs not that time Tony Randazzo and this would be a good start three and0 on Alec needs some base runners here Corbin Carol On Deck behind him Miss inside it’s another leadoff walk for the [Music] Diamondbacks got to take advantage of your opportunities it’s the fifth consecutive inning the Diamondbacks lead off batter in the inning has drawn a base on balls of the previous four two have scored Tommy hve out to talk to this left-hander thebar the only Lefty they got back there in the bullpen Eli Morgan the right-hander warming up yeah no trainer with Tommy HBY I noticed Miguel Amaya went almost halfway out to the mound after the first delivery and and the home plate umpire Clint bodra said hey wait a minute now this this I’m going to have to charge you with a meeting here he waved it off to the third base Dugout but now HBY comes out quickly I’m not sure if theel bar is okay or they just want to talk about the pitch sequence here that’s a mound [Music] visit Neil bar doesn’t seem to be in any distress out there no didn’t notice anything they did throw what five consecutive balls that’ll get you a mount visit there’s one in the zone slider First Strike Corbin grounded out as a pinch hitter in the sixth inning stayed in the game took over in right field [Music] boy thielbar has suddenly lost to GPS he’s all over the map quick walk to Thomas three and one on Corbin Marte on Deck behind him one pitch one zone if you’re Corbin car right here whatever it is you want to look for stay on that pitch and forget everything else missed inside he’s walked the first two in the inning going to get a right-hander for Marte I’m pretty sure great Council out to the [Music] mound Diamond Back hitters have drawn seven bases on balls so far in the game well they’re down four the first two have reached in the eighth we’re back right after this they’re trying to make a comeback here is Eli Morgan the right-hander one and two third in Diamondbacks win on Friday here and they’ll flip catel Marte around to bad left-handed there’s strike one a big change up from Eli Morgan Marte has been aboard three times he got singled and walked twice one of eight walks drawn by the Diamondbacks here today that’s yours not quite not quite oh with two Alec Thomas at second Corbin carols at first terrific speed on the bases if catel can find a gap here Morgan takes that timeing right down to the [Music] nub got some Moss out there yeah three consecutive change UPS to start this [Music] sequence tell chops it to shallow Center Crow Armstrong camped out under it and there’s one away in the eighth that’s what three straight change UPS will do for you a 93 mph fast ball Jam’s a pretty darn good hitter to slow down the bat to slow down the mental process say makes that 93 look a lot quicker forelo the Henry is in the two hole today single in the [Music] first you draw eight walks in a ball game you got to score more than two runs yeah especially the way the walks came leading off inning you know that should set everything up well for the Diamondbacks offensively but they just haven’t been able to cash [Music] in hero slams it to Right Center that gets down and here we go Alec will score Here Comes Corbin Heraldo Pomo with a two-run [Applause] double boy get some energy back in that third base Dugout both those walks come around of the eight walks four of scored a change up that time for Morgan raldo apparently paying attention in that on Deck Circle you can learn a lot just by watching somebody said [Music] that it’s late early out there suddenly they were down 6 to2 there’s still only one out in the inning now 6 to4 they have the time run at the plate it’s slur is gel Jr who singled through the hole at shortstop his last time up gel drives it to left way back we’re [Applause] tied yeah yes sir yes indeed we got a ball game foris guriel jumping on the very first fast ball he sees right here oh my Bel high in middle of the plate that’s what you’re supposed to do with those that’s our chz Roberts air conditioning and plumbing cool play of the game the first of the year for Lis Mareno The Hitter they have out hit the Cubs 9 to8 they have come back to tie it up 6 to6 despite leaving 11 Runners on [Applause] base walk walk fly out double Homer that’s the eighth so far [Applause] Abby had an RBI single is last time up in the seventh after coming in to catch when Tor lello hit for Jose Herrera keep in mind they’ve lost the DH they do have the pitcher spot lurking down there which is seventh in the lineup and they are out of position players two and two on Moreno yeah it makes you wonder what Craig Council might do should Mareno uh make an out here making two outs in the inning you’ve got Josh Naylor and Hano Suarez would he walk both of those guys knowing that toy lell doesn’t have any hitters left that’s why manages make the big bucks especially in council’s case 16th career game tying home run for luris guriel Jr is eighth with the Diamondbacks Abby still alive it’s full three and two some Pena power has tied this thing up Baylor who’s been on base all day long waiting in the wings the 3-2 to Moreno Abby pokes it foul change up down [Applause] there Gabby’s already got four hits and a couple of walks on the season big left-hander AJ Puck and the Sanderson Ford Bullpen haven’t seen AJ yet in this season [Music] dabby Lane is open oh [Applause] yeah that was a thing of beauty that’s some really really good two- strike hitting right there that pitch wasn’t remotely close to the strike zone but gabb’s in protect mode anything close I’m going to swing at that’s a change up that probably would have ended up in the dirt and he bumps it through that right side for a base hit Naylor has singled he has walk through three times he’s reached every time he’s been up there Suarez is behind him and then it’s the pitcher spot one out in the eighth four runs already home niler to Center throw Armstrong can go get him not this time go Gabby go they’re going to wave him home he’s going to score and the Diamondbacks have the lead [Applause] oh man goes down and hits that change up to the Gap in left Center you got to hit it hard to get it over Pete Crow Armstrong’s head and then he had some issues playing the ball off the wall Shan Lin had initially thrown up the stop sign at third base but when that ball was fumbled they waved him on home nailor a single three walks an RBI double they will indeed with first base open naturally walk Suarez and Ryan Nelson is going to be the hitter Ryan Nelson remember Ryan at Oregon he was an Oregon Duck Here Comes Tommy hotovy the pitching coach Ryan Nelson was a two-way player in college at Oregon he worked often as a closer but played the field quite a bit and as an Oregon ducky was a 171 career hitter now that might not be a whole lot to write home about but it’s the best they got here he did not have an at bat as a professional in the minor league so here comes Ryan Nelson’s first professional at bat and it comes in the big leagues in a one-run game in the eighth [Music] inning you hear that noise that’s Ryan’s heartbeat I no it’s mine what a finish to this one the Cubs got three in the top half of the eighth Inning on that three-run Bomb by Kyle Tucker Diamondbacks have answered back with five in the home half to take a 76 lead and they are out of position players Ryan Nelson is the hitter Corners are in two on and one [Music] out Naylor is the runner at second after the ybi ey double Suarez at first after the intentional walk no sign of a bunt at all that time even though the corners are drawn in Cubs expecting a bunt from Ryan Nelson can you tell him to go up there and don’t swing maybe maybe Morgan outthinks himself and throws you four balls oh he’s right back in there he looks like a hitter with the elbow guard on gloves goes to the pinear runners on the move and they go in standing up how about that look at that Dugout that’s all on Eli Morgan right there he just didn’t pay any attention to the runner in second base never turned to look Naylor had a huge primary lead and just took off two and one on get through there it is Ryan Nelson’s got a riy knock he’s driven in one and they get the second run at home as Gino’s out Nelson sneaks into second all right what a game unbelievable six home in the eighth inning they lead it 8 to six now the fact the Cubs have their infield draw and allowed this one just to sneak by Dan B Swanson who was in on the grass that time and once again Pete Armstrong Pete Crow Armstrong rather shows that strong throwing arm from Center that Dugout is this going to be a happy flight if they can close this out all the way to New York City baby they have batted around in the eighth Alex started off the inning with a walk hopefully somebody saved that ball for Ryan Nelson first professional at bat and Alec drops it in there a comes Nelly 9- [Applause] six it’s a seven run eighth inning boy Alec Thomas is off to a sensational start great Council going to go get Morgan well he wasn’t exactly Captain Morgan here today and will toast a seven-run eighth inning and a 96 lead they trailed at 6-2 nine six Diamondbacks some pea power today back in a moment here’s Colin Ray the right-hander signed a one-year deal with the Cubs in January for 5 million guaranteed he was he took his lsats last year in Milwaukee Corbin Carrol The Hitter seven runs home in the gate they were down 6 to2 they leaded 9 to6 this would be the largest comeback win in the majors so far in this young season they were down four Corbin slices one to deep left Center Crow Armstrong will play it off the wall they’re going to wave Alec Thomas there’s no throw and it’s 10 to [Applause] six they put gas in the water can for the Cubs boy everybody running up to the plate right now squaring up Pitch after pitch after pitch Corin Carrol chasing BCA all the way to that 413 Mark in left Center field three consecutive RBI hits Nelson Thomas Carroll 14 hits for the Diamondbacks Marte flying out earlier in this inning as they bat around in the eighth Kel’s had another good day as single he’s walked twice scored a run tap to Second ni Corner they were down 6-2 an eight run eth you know what this kind of fun night in coming [Applause] [Music] up for
