00:00Andre Pellante he's playing for a job right now he really is in his last start against the Reds he went five innings six hits two earned runs he gave up the home run this is what he's going to attack you with that four seam fastball likes the slider knuckle curve four pitch guy that really has to find his spots has to have command to Jung-Hoo Lee who had a four hit game yesterday Lee bouncing ball off the glove of Thomas Sejazi and it becomes what I would imagine to be a reach on an error.
00:30But Devers is retired for three and that'll bring up a Thomas Oh look out whoa whoa whoa whoa and Adamus appears to be just fine you know not any intent at all there in that situation ball just got away two balls and two strikes Lee at second Adamus at first and Smith bouncing ball on the ground backhanded by Sejazi the flip for one on the first for an inning inning double play and the threat passes the Cardinals coming to bat Justin Verlander towing the rubber for the Giants you look at
00:59the record a couple of weeks ago EK and it was gaudy one and ten but he seems to get better and better later in a season and he's certainly pitching that no balls two strikes on newt bar bars newt bar lines one up the middle for a leadoff single Herrera is out number one with Nolan Gorman coming up payoff from Verlander swing and a miss strike three and Gorman is put away Verlander does it with that staple four seam fastball
01:29it's a pop fly from wind and that will end the inning as Devers makes the catch Andre Pellante 144 innings pitched this year coming into tonight he's hit three batters and he's plunked two Giants now in the first inning plus
01:45Vellante with the pitch a swing and a miss for the fourth time in the series Casey Schmidt has struck out Gilbert with a hard ground ball the second Sejazi getting a workout over there and he turns another double play back to back innings the Giants are retired by way of a double play one pitch one out fly ball to the right from Sejazi curling towards the line and it's caught juggled and caught by Drew Gilberts against the fence
02:15going on to this you know this is this is huge right now three pitches so far two outs and this is after you mentioned a twenty four pitch first inning we've got to remember he's coming off that last start he threw five innings but one hundred twenty one pitches that's the most he's thrown in a game since two thousand eighteen looks like he might get another quick out here Schmidt spins and throws in time a one two three inning for Verlander only five pitches needed so with two gone lineup turns over here's young who lead and he's
02:45smacks this one the other way to keep the inning going and Devers draws a two out walk the two out rally brewing here for San Francisco and that brings Adamas to the plate breaking ball kicks away from Crooks behind the plates and both runners will advance Giants are set up second and third and Pellante work himself out of the jam strike three Adamas knew it and the inning is over and that was pretty good but Berlander handles it and gets another one pitch out there mean it now swing and a miss
03:15strike three for me down on strikes second K for Verlander as Nupar pops this up in foul ground Bailey with a mask off gives way to Chapman and the inning is over nine straight retired by Verlander after giving up the leadoff single to Nupar Giants have had a couple of innings though in which they've put a runner in scoring position yet to break through though against Pellante is Dom Smith on the first pitch lines it out into center field for a base hit Smith not waiting around picks up the Giants
03:45second hit of the night that's three straight innings the Giants been able to get that leadoff runner on haven't been able to bring him around but third time's a charm so now Chapman hit by a pitch back in the second is Chapman the high chop up the middle and it finds a hole Dominic Smith going to go first to third here comes the throw it's well off target and Chapman will advance to second Victor Scott this is that this is a bad play right here there is nothing at third base there's no no play no attempt but by doing that
04:15second base now you've got two in scoring position no double play in order Schmidt two for five yesterday with a double in the air from Schmidt to center field should get a run home Scott makes the catch Smith tags and comes home for the opening run Chapman gets to third and the Giants lead one nothing but good at bat by Schmidt and that extra base comes back to bite the Cardinals now the infield has to play in that's right first pitch swinging for
04:45record and he puts this into left field for a base hit Chapman will score Gilbert to second with an RBI double and it's two nothing San Francisco he's done nothing but just hit drive the ball playing good deep really gotten on a hot stretch
05:15he's done nothing but it's not headhunting and Mason wins look you know he chuckled a little bit he knew that was coming he's shaking his head but that's a veteran taking care of his boys right there two outs nobody on and that brings in Jimmy Crooks as the tying run so I don't really blame the Giants for doing that one and one to counter Crooks he has a homer already and he grounds that one oh right underneath the legs of the first baseman and into right field so Crooks is going to reach base and on the third is Mason Wynn and the Cardinals may have something going here in the bottom of the fourth inning
05:45after the hit by pitch Crooks is aboard that should be an error on the first baseman Devers and he's over there saying I told you I didn't want to play first base tying run is aboard and Thomas Sejasey ground ball to short Adamas is there he'll go the short way and the inning is over four complete Giants with the lead so with Walker gone here's Scott and he fights this one off and dunks it into left with a second hit of the night for the Cardinals a one out single
06:14for Victor Scott the second if Scott is put into motion broken bat flare that drops for a base hit Scott will stop at second but it's back to back hits for St. Louis soft contact in a rally building for St. Louis as Newt Bar will bat both runners go Bailey throws the third in time to nail Victor Scott's we told you about Bailey's arm and he shows it off once again baseball standpoint just not a real
06:44intelligent play and that's two we've seen tonight from Victor Scott base running and then out center field her lander with a payoff grounded up the middle Adamas charges fields and throws ending over and just as quickly as that threat appeared it disappears for the Cardinals two gone now with Drew Gilbert coming up his double drove in the second run in the fourth inning that was Matt Chapman who's the runner at third right now this gets all the way to the backstop kicks back Chapman's in no man's land and he's in a rundown
07:14a fortunate break for the Cardinals and the inning is over 77 pitches for Verlander here's his 0-2 and it is strike three called and for Verlander career strikeout number 3534 now tied with Gaylord Perry for the eighth most in baseball history Verlaine's feeling real good with his command tonight that strike three at the knees
07:44he's alone with the eighth most strikeouts in baseball history let's get this ball out of the game right Verlander through five and two thirds scoreless looking to strike out the side got him swinging Verlander strikes out the side and he is through six scoreless here in St. Louis back to back singles to start the night for St. Louis and the tying run is aboard the 15th major league plate appearance for Crooks and he gets plunked bases are loaded
08:14struggling struggling for offense mightily Zajasee up the middle that will fall for a base hit Gorman in to score Wynn stops at third and the tying run is 90 feet away for St. Louis and Jordan Walker is up and oh what a time to break out of an 0 for 25 still nobody out and Walker base hit to left field Cardinals will take the lead Wynn is in Hampson behind him
08:44to walk it off Jordan Walker who needed that in the worst way 0 for 25 before that walk off hits
