Added: 2026-05-31

[00:00:00]Medina set. Here comes the 3-2. SWUNG ON AND DESTROYED.

[00:00:05]LEFT CENTER FIELD. IT IS GOING TO GO SAIL AWAY. JULIO!

[00:00:12]THREE-RUN home run. IT'S ALL MARINERS NOW.

[00:00:16]>> HE has never had a season without at least two home runs versus the Athletics. He didn't have an extra base hit and then he changes that.

[00:00:24]>> 1-0 pitch. Swinging a high fly. Deep right field. THAT BALL'S GOT A CHANCE.

[00:00:29]IT IS GONE!

[00:00:31]HOME RUN Kazuma Okamoto.

[00:00:34]>> Okamoto's first home run since the 5th of this month. It has been a while, but what a big spot for it as the Blue Jays take the lead.

[00:00:45]>> And now the pitch. Breaking ball hit a mile high to right field. Wood going back, way back, to the warning track, to the wall. He reaches UP AND HE CAUGHT IT! HE CAUGHT IT!

[00:00:56]>> James Wood put his glove right up to the top of the fence at the >> yellow line.

[00:01:01]>> He didn't really jump. He didn't have to. He just reached up and caught it.

[00:01:04]>> Here's May's pitch.

[00:01:06]>> Ground ball up the middle headed toward center. PICKED BY WINN, WHO THROWS LOW.

[00:01:11]PICKED BY BURLESON. WHAT A PLAY ON BOTH ENDS AND FRIEDL gives up number three in the fifth.

[00:01:17]>> Outstanding play on both ends. What a star on that one on both ends. And a little help from the fielders.

[00:01:26]>> Swung on line drive right field. Robles over, GOES TO A DIVE AND MAKES A TREMENDOUS CATCH. Full Superman. Goes to the dive. Takes away extra bases. Great play by Victor Robles.

[00:01:39]>> This is such a good play. Fully stretched out. Committed to that play.

[00:01:44]Because if that gets by you, Carlos Cortez, very good chance he's scoring on that play.

[00:01:51]>> This is poked into shallow right. Robles is able to make another highlight reel catch in right field. Man, is he on fire to begin today.

[00:02:02]>> Victor Robles is having a day. A defensive wizard in right field. He robs the A's of another hit.

[00:02:08]>> Couple big plays here.

[00:02:10]>> Logan Gilbert should be tipping his cap.

[00:02:12]He'll be out there just blowing right now. 98 top shelf cheese biscuit, come and get it.

[00:02:19]>> Logan Gilbert was excellent in this one.

[00:02:21]Six innings of work, no runs allowed, five hits, two walks, six strikeouts.

[00:02:26]>> Connor Griffin fly to left in the second.

[00:02:29]This one a long way to right, TO THE WALL, AND CLEAR THE DECK [cheering] WITH AN OPPO CANNONBALL FOR CONNOR GRIFFIN TO TIE THE GAME.

[00:02:40]>> [cheering] >> His score It's four all.

[00:02:43]>> The young one himself.

[00:02:45]He has popped it foul pole to foul pole, and he just showed it right there on display.

[00:02:50]That ball right off the bat, you knew it was going to at least get up off the wall. You're hoping it was able to get up above it, and it did in that first row.

[00:02:56]>> Another big spot for Ian Happ.

[00:02:59]>> Ian Happ deep down the right field line.

[00:03:01]Valdez towards the corner, AND IT'S GONE!

[00:03:06]>> [cheering] >> BOMBED BY IAN HAPP!

[00:03:09]GO-AHEAD THREE-RUN JACK! 11th of the year. HE'S DRIVEN IN FIVE. IT'S 7-4 CUBS. TAKE THAT!

[00:03:18]>> Call your friends. Dustin May has got a special one working in Milwaukee.

[00:03:22]>> Dustin May is showing exactly why the Cardinals >> wanted to sign him.

[00:03:26]>> And now six outs away from history.

[00:03:29]>> Line drive left center field. It is over >> Brewers have their first hit of the game. It's a lead-off double here in the bottom of the eighth.

[00:03:39]>> Seven plus innings. Now, what a performance from Dustin May. Now, the game belongs to the Cardinal bullpen.

[00:03:45]>> 1-1 to Duran.

[00:03:46]>> Ripped on the right field line. IT IS WAY BACK, AND IT IS GONE!

[00:03:52]JARREN DURAN A SOLO blast and the Red Sox lead it eight to nothing.

[00:03:58]>> Stay hot, kid. When he's hitting almost.400 over his last seven games with some pop. That got out of here in a hurry.

[00:04:05]>> This is now eight on the year for Jarren Duran. I think seven this month.

[00:04:10]>> Byron Buxton digs in. Sandlin's set to go. The swing and a fly ball left center field deep in the gap. Back it goes towards the seats AND THAT [cheering] IS GONE. IT'S A LEAD-OFF HOME RUN FOR BYRON BUXTON. FOURTH TIME he's done that this season. JUST LIKE THAT, one nothing Twins. Second pitch of Sandlin's big league career and the Buck Truck strikes early in Chicago.

[00:04:32]>> What a strong effort by the left-hander Connolly early taking on one of the best offenses, maybe the best in all of baseball. Seven strong, four hits, he fanned seven.

[00:04:41]>> He's fantastic. I mean, this lineup we mentioned is one of the best in the game and he was able to go seven, only four hits. Get that ERA down to a 2.95. Now 11 starts into the year.

[00:04:51]>> Fly ball right center field. Crawford's on the run. Out toward the 396 sign TO THE WALL. HE LEAPS AND HE MADE THE CATCH. HE SLAMS INTO THE WALL AS HE CORRALS IT. WHAT A PLAY BY THE ROOKIE JUSTIN Crawford for the second out here in the sixth inning.

[00:05:11]>> Blocked off into a right. Judge has to play it on a hop.

[00:05:14]THEY'RE GOING TO SEND MASSEY HOME.

[00:05:15]HERE'S THE THROW. OH, BABY. WHAT A CANNON FROM THE THREE-TIME MVP. GOODBYE, Michael Massey. Inning over.

[00:05:25]>> Aaron had to play it on a short hop and get rid of it quickly and he had something on it and Wells had plenty of time. A partial block at the plate forced him to the back end and tagged him out and keep this a scoreless ballgame.

[00:05:37]>> The 1-1. Gunner hits it high in the air, deep to right field. IN THE CORNER IT GOES AND THAT BABY IS LONG GONE.

[00:05:45]>> No doubt about number 12 for number two.

[00:05:49]>> He was in an over 13 skid and it did not look good. These last few days after he was red hot for a couple of weeks.

[00:05:57]>> Breaking ball cranked to right field.

[00:06:00]Has he DONE IT AGAIN? YOU BET. SECOND OF THE NIGHT FOR GUNNAR HENDERSON out of here to right.

[00:06:05]>> Number 12 was a two-run shot in the first.

[00:06:08]A baker's dozen starts us off here in the sixth. Ball's up. Good job, Gunnar.

[00:06:14]Couple of scratches behind your ears.

[00:06:16]>> And if this doesn't send chills up your spine, nothing will.

[00:06:20]>> 18 in a row retired after a lead-off home run by Buxton, but tonight the story is that young man in his first major league start. Plus a standing O in your first start, that's pretty good.

[00:06:30]>> Well done, kid.

[00:06:31]>> 18 straight retired. The most in the history of the franchise by a pitcher making his big league debut.

[00:06:38]>> Two of his 11 home runs against lefties this year.

[00:06:41]>> And he rockets that one down the right field line, and that ball's going to sail out of here.

[00:06:46]Juan Soto strikes again. Number 12 for Soto is eighth in the last 12 games.

[00:06:52]>> The only guy that seems to be still hitting is Juan Soto. He has not missed a step, and one of the biggest power hitters in the month of May in baseball.

[00:07:00]>> There's Jackson Merrill. Ground ball back toward the middle. Stop. To his right. Has it. THROWS TO FIRST. IN TIME.

[00:07:06]A RECORD that stood 115 years. And the 29-year-old from La Romana, the Dominican Republic, has established a brand new feat. Puts up another scoreless inning. It's seven scoreless today.

[00:07:28]>> Caught by DE LA CRUZ.

[00:07:30]OH, HE SPEARS IT OUT OF THE SKY. A BRILLIANT ROBBERY OF ZIM.

[00:07:35]>> That's like a pterodactyl move.

[00:07:37]>> You're right. Look at the wingspan and just going up there and getting it.

[00:07:42]He might be the only shortstop in the world that can make that play.

[00:07:47]>> And it looks like that is going to be all for Gerrit Cole. And Aaron Boone is going to say job well done as Cole will depart. Six and two-thirds scoreless in his second start back from Tommy John.

[00:08:02]>> And that'll bring up My Draw.

[00:08:06]>> My Draw sends this one in the air deep to left-center field. Out there and looking up and it's >> [cheering] >> Chase My Draw with a grand slam.

[00:08:18]He has shown the power this season, his fifth home run. And it is all White Sox here, 13 to one over the Twins.

[00:08:30]>> That's a very happy young man.

[00:08:32]You don't associate him with grand slams, but there it is.

[00:08:36]>> Murakami, the batter.

[00:08:38]Murakami flicks this one the other way.

[00:08:41]Back he goes.

[00:08:43]>> [cheering] >> 20 home runs for Munetaka Murakami.

[00:08:50]He becomes the third White Sox player to hit 20 before June. Unbelievable rookie year.

[00:08:59]>> Well, looking at the power numbers, they're 20-40. That's the most home runs before June since 1901.

[00:09:06]>> You've seen him once and you know how he attacked you the first time. This one >> hit the center field straight away. Evan Carter back. HE'S DONE IT AGAIN. GIVE [cheering] HIM NINE. SECOND TIME THROUGH the lineup. GIVE HIM 19 ON THE SEASON.

[00:09:19]>> YEAH, he's gone freak mode again.

[00:09:21]>> Yeah, 428 feet to straightaway center.

[00:09:24]19 at-bats against the Rangers this year for Yordan. He has five homers. And Alvarez hits it well and hits it deep to right-center field. Back is Carter at the wall LOOKING UP. SEE YOU LATER.

[00:09:37]SECOND HOME RUN OF THE NIGHT FOR YORDAN ALVAREZ AND THIS ONE PUTS THE ASTROS UP THREE TO TWO. YORDAN LAYING waste to Rangers pitching. He has hit five home runs in this series.

[00:09:51]>> And the 3-2 bounced to the right side. Freelon playing at the foot race to the bag and he's got the out.

[00:09:59]What an all out effort from Alex Freelon.

[00:10:02]>> You know, obviously the effort is there but what you see about Freelon is he never hesitates. He's already thought in his mind what he's going to do if Shohei isn't over at the bag. If it gets by Freddy.

[00:10:15]He has that play already played out.

[00:10:18]>> Sugano has one run.

[00:10:20]Ohtani dead center field. DID HE [cheering] GET ENOUGH? YOU BET HE DID.

[00:10:26]HE'S JUST SHOWING OFF ONCE AGAIN.

[00:10:28]BACK-TO-BACK STARTS. He leads off the game with a homer.

[00:10:32]>> Shohei Ohtani knows how to bring the fans to their feet and he does it early tonight in his first at bat.

[00:10:39]>> Well, it's the pitcher hitting another home run.

[00:10:42]>> Shohei Ohtani leading the Dodgers out onto the field ahead of the series finale against the Colorado Rockies.

[00:10:49]Won each of his last two starts and he's thrown 16 consecutive scoreless innings.

[00:10:53]>> Six no-hit innings for Shohei Ohtani.

[00:10:57]>> The last Dodger with six plus no-hit innings and a home run in the same game.

[00:11:03]You got to go back to 1959 June 25th Don Drysdale.
