The Top 100 Plays of 2022! | MLB Highlights

Steven Vogt to lead things off here in the bottom of the 7th. Certainly has a chance to be the final big league at bat for Steven Vogt. We asked for one more heroic moment from Steven Vogt and he gave it to us. That's how it had to happen. That is how it had to happen. That's just unbelievable. So here's Altuve. He's 0 for 3. Has a home run and 4 career at bats against Luizaga. My goodness. Double play. Wow. What a double play. Altuve hit an absolute bullet. And Gleyber Torres, I don't know how he did it. The ball exploded at his feet. He had a quick glove, quick hands, made the grab. And then started the double play. Well the stage is set and he has certainly handled center stage very well so far this year The Yankees win. Aaron Hicks ties with a 3 run home run in the 9th. Boy, if that's not an exciting game. I mean, that was fabulous. That was fabulous. He's got the feel going right now. Two quick outs to start this half of the 2nd inning. Oh and he struck him out. Immaculate. Struck out the side in order right there. And did not throw many pitches. That's an immaculate inning right there, Terry. 9 pitches, 9 strikes. Yes. Inning over. Boy, he's had a no hitter this season and now an immaculate inning. So he is 8 for 8. Pitches, 8 strikes. Swing and a miss. How about 9 pitches, 9 strikes. And he whips the side. Angel Delos Santos with an impressive inning. When you throw 9 pitches and you get 9 strikes. They call that now an immaculate inning. He came right out of his shoe. He used just about everything. I've seen a change up in there as well. Helsley, 8 strikes on 8 pitches. The 0-2. He struck out the side. 9 pitches. Helsley. What a night. 9 pitches, 9 strikes. And the Cardinals take game 2. 6-5 over the Reds. An immaculate 9th inning. 9 pitches, 9 strikes. Helsley gets the save. Stratton the win. Two outs all loaded up for Goldie. The 1-2. Goldschmidt hits it out to left and this will do it. In style. It's a grand slammer. A walk-off grand slam home run for Paul Goldschmidt. And he is being mobbed at the plate. I mean mobbed at the plate. A little drift back. Lowe doesn't see it. Lowe lost the ball. Here comes Hayes. Trey's going to go to third. Trey's going to be way at home. Here comes Mancini. He is. Safe. A fairy tale has come to life. Well, I can tell you this, if this is his last home at bat, it will be one he will never, ever forget. And neither will the fans here in Baltimore. 2-0 pitch. Suzuki gets a hold of one. Back that goes. Off the wall and left center. And a good ricochet for Seah. Heading for third. They're going to wave him in. Suzuki heads for home. The throw to the plate. Not in. Seah Suzuki touches them all. And the Cubs grab a 2-1 lead off of Josh Hader. Oh, man, was that fun. Just spectacular. Suzuki fresh off the I.L. Gets into a Hader fastball. And plays a little pinball with the center field wall. Here for the first time in postseason history, brothers face off. Pitcher, hitter. Aaron Nola against Austin Nola. Little brother against big brother. That's a chopper to third. Bones got it. Wins the first battle of this postseason matchup. Now with one out and Austin Nola will be the batter. Aaron against Austin. Austin representing the tying run. One of them headed to the World Series. There goes Kim. And a base hit to right center. Kim is headed home. Austin Nola gets his left throw. Bittersweet here. You don't even know how to react. Two in scoring position. Two balls and two strikes. Comes Soto. Off the mound. Five run rally. Capped by Kronenberg to give the Padres the lead. Great base run. He goes first. He ends up at second base. The Soto shuffle. Normally in the batter's box. It got him an extra run as he shuffled to second. The throw hits the mound. He scores easily. This place is going crazy. High fly ball. Right field and deep. Going back judge. He's on the track. He's at the wall. He leaps. And he makes the play. Oh, what a play by Aaron Judge. What a highlight reel he's putting together this year. You see the snow cone at the top of his glove. You know, Judge may have just robbed Melendez of a home run. It helps to have a right field in the 6-7. Now it's up to Josh Naylor. In the ninth inning, tied it with a grand slam just to the right of center. He clobbers another one. Deep right field. Back his angle. He's at it. It's out of here. Naylor's done it again. Yes, indeed. A grand slam in the ninth. A three-run homer with two out in the 11th. 12-9 Guardians. Hits it deep to center field. Alec Thomas. He got it. Alec Thomas has got that one. It was a little speck of white in the glove. And he is fired up. What a way to end it. For the interim skipper, Jeff Bannister, 6-0 your final. Alec Thomas finished with a flourish. This one into deep center field. Cameron still going back. He leaps it. He's got it. Up against the wall. Daz Cameron stole it and turns it into a double play. Well, baby, was that special. Inning, ending, double play. What a play by Daz Cameron. Wow. He timed his jump at the top of the wall perfectly. And the runner on first hedges was all the way to second and easily doubled off. We're on cycle watch here for Austin. He's a double away. That ball's belted left center field by Hayes. It's over the head of Thomas. It will score Nevin. It will score Mateo. And there's no way Austin's thinking about three. He's going to pull up easily into second. Austin and Hayes hits for the cycle in four at-bats. Brooks Robinson, Cal Ripken, Aubrey Huff, Felix P.A., Jonathan V.R., and now Austin Hayes have hit for the cycle for the Orioles. Aaron Walsh now will bat. He has a chance to hit for the cycle. He has a single, double, and homer from last year. Driven to center. Is it going to get down? Oh, look out. The center field. Austin, look at his teammates. And that will bring up Eduardo Escobar, who is at the biggest night of any men. He's driven in four of the men's seven runs, a two-run single in the first, a two-run homer in the eighth, a double in the fourth in between, triple, and he would have the cycle. And Escobar shoots one down the right field line toward the corner, and it's beyond the reach of Mazzara. Alonzo is in to score. Canner right behind him. It's going to be a triple for Escobar. He's got the cycle. Eduardo Escobar with two more RBIs, six for the night, and he has hit for the cycle the first men in ten years to have a single, double, triple, and homerun in the same game. Hooking toward the gap, Buxton over, and a leaping catch at the warning track. Catch by Byron Buxton. I didn't think there was a chance in the world that he would get there. That ball had some hook on it. Oh, boy. Buxton right on the warning track. Leap was in the air for about ten feet. Bregman and Tucker aboard. First pitch to Gurriel in the air, right center field. Hit pretty well. Rodriguez on the run, and Rodriguez makes a great catch. Bregman will tag and go to third. Oh, my goodness. The ground he covered off the charts. Julio Rodriguez kicking it into fifth gear to make this play. Wow. You talk about covering some ground. Watch Rodriguez right here. Gets it back in. No one Bregman's going to tag to get to third, but catches the all-important second out. That was something. Julio Rodriguez was full throttle. Astros thought they had one in the gap. Rodriguez breaks their hearts. He was flying. 3-2 pitch. In the air, deep left center field. Hit well. Rodriguez on the run, and it is gone. Oh, Jeremy Pena sends one to the seats, and the Astros lead 1-0 in the 18th inning. This kid is the real deal himself. What a moment. 3-2. Got a fastball. And connected. 415 feet, 105 off the bat. Tapia up for the third time. Sends a drive to deep center, but where is it? And it's way over the head of Duran, who never saw it. Never saw it. Tapia around third, heading home inside the park, and slam for Maltapia. Raise your hand if you think you were deked by the center fielder. J.T. Riomuto, then Harper, then Castellanos. Fly to center field. Harris on the move, still going. Michael Harris inside the park, home run for J.T. Riomuto, and the Phillies lead 4-1. With the speed of Riomuto, almost the easiest inside the park home run you're going to see. Kimball delivers, fly ball, right field, headed toward the corner, long run for Betts, and he makes a diving catch to end the game. Mookie Betts with the game-winning three-run home run in the bottom of the eighth, saves the game in the ninth with a diving catch. Robinson-Peterson to end the game, 9-6. Mookie Betts. The Dodgers, boy, when you're hot, you're hot. They've now won five consecutive games. Down to deep center field, Grisham going back at the wall, lifts, and makes the catch in center. Grisham, the gold-gloved center fielder, goes back, ties the loop, and reels it in. Great Grisham up and over the fence in center field to take away a home run and end the top of the second inning. Oh, what a play. Timed it perfectly, got back to the wall, and that is just pure athleticism. Grant Grisham with a play of the year defensively here early on for the Padres. So it's already been a great night for Trevor Story. He has a pair of home runs, a pair of two-run shots. Trevor Story cleans him off! His third home run, as gracious, is what a seven-RBI night looks like right there. And a roller, Cruz. Oh, my goodness. How about that arm? Cub fans who are watching this will think about Sean Dunstan. Yep. That was a clothesline, and Chavis. Wow, that was a laser. Tough ball to his backhand, picks it clean, and just comes up absolutely fiery. Whacks it to right field. That is going to hit hard off the wall. Look at that. Bounce right back to Acuna, who barehands it off the wall. In a split second, 122.4 miles an hour. Wow. That is a missile. That sure was. That was loud. Unfortunately, just didn't quite have the launch angle to tie this thing up. And he drives it deep into the wall. It's going to go to the wall. He's going to leap. He got it! Lowe got back there and made the catch. Boy, that ball had a concerning trajectory to it from the race point of view when Anderson belted that one. And Josh Lowe got back to the wall and made that leaping grab. Albert hits it down the left field. Lies! Number 2,215 and 16. He's passed Babe Ruth, second all-time in history, and runs batted in. A historic blast, number 703. He's now all alone on the all-time RBI list. And Jack Sawinski bidding for a three-home run game if he gets it, the Pirates win it. Oh, no! This is deep! Jack Sawinski wins it for the Pirates! Runs in a game for a Pirates rookie! You never know what you're going to see. And we just saw it! With three home runs, only Andrew McCutcheon had ever done that, a Pirates rookie with three home runs in a game. Jack Peterson has hit two home runs tonight. Two runs shot to right in the third, and a two-run blast over the center field wall in the fifth inning. That one is wet! And this game is tied! We may not have seen one quite like that since Barry Bonds used to come on here. Dawes at the tying run. Brendan Rodgers will face Cole Sulser. He's had a great night with two home runs in the walk and three runs scored. A day he will never forget. It's his third home run tonight, and it's a walk-off two-run shot. How about this? The Rockies come back in ten innings and win it 13-12. To right field. Springer back. He's catched by Springer! When that ball left the bat, I didn't think he had any shot at making that catch. This is just his second start in right field, but he keeps his eye on it and looks it into his glove. Ground ball towards the middle. Wong, gloves, flips to Adamas. There's one! There's two! Sensational double play. Turn between Wong and Adamas. Can't do it any better. The defense has been on fire. Colton Wong with the glove flip. Adamas showing off the bazooka that he carries around. Man, that is a pitcher's best friend. That right there, it saves your outing. It saves what's coming next. And there's a ground ball towards the middle. Diving stab by Wong. There's one! Throw to first! Not in time! Boy, that was set up to be a spectacular play. The fact the Brewers got one was great enough. Let's watch this glove work by Wong. Let's watch it over and over and over again. Incredible. He's not just flashing leather. He's flashing gold leather. Deep left center field. Profar going back. And he drives to make the catch! It left center field! Profar reels it in! Back by the .399 marker. He ran a mile to get out there to make that catch. Jurgensen sliding feet first in front of the .399 marker. And he makes the play to end the inning. Profar was maybe the best defensive play of the season so far for the Padres. Keeps this game as is. Line drive. Dos tres, triple play! Top of the order for the Phils, Kyle Schwarber. And it is a breaking ball! Schwarber was ready! How far does this go? Second deck! Kyle Schwarber tees off! Two-nothing Phillies! Wow! Deep to right field. Titanic shot into the second deck! Wow! The Phillies take a two-nothing lead! That was as long a home run as you're going to see here at Petco Park. Running run in scoring position for the rookie Jeremy Payton. Fly ball off the end of the bat. Short right field. Castellanos saves the day! And sends game one to the 10th. Shades of Atlanta as Nick Castellanos lays out. And he keeps the Astros off the board here at the bottom of the ninth inning. So six straight games with a home run for this man, Mike Trout. Driven to center field. Mike Trout hit it well! Looking to tie this up! He does! Seven straight games with a home run for the kid, Mike Trout. 4-4 here in Cleveland. That scenario worked perfectly. Trout, seven in a row games for the home run. 35th home run of the year, Mike Trout. Red hot! Allen has drilled deep to left center field. On the run is LoCastro! He dives and he makes the play! Oh, what a play by LoCastro! He saved an extra base hit. And he saved a run. Tim LoCastro, his first game with the Yankees this year, just made a heck of a catch in deep left center, right near the bullpen wall. And he dove and caught the ball on the track. That's a heck of a catch. Myers ends up at third. And a bunt put down by Grisham. What a play by Gratterall! He gets the out at home! A Dodger pitcher for the second out of the sixth. Do you love defense? You're in the right spot in game two. What a play! Brewster Gratterall! A bunt down the third baseline. The runner, Myers, coming home. Sprinting toward the line. Picked it up. Barehanded. Threw sidearm to the plate. And Will Smith tagged him out! What a play by Gratterall! 117 mile an hour. Ninth inning. Game tying home run. Here comes Suarez. Devon Seattle! A.U. Hades wins it! Heating champs! And now the game will be in the balance here. And Byron Buxton is coming up in the tenth. And the pitch is swinging to drive! Left field to deep! Back it goes! Deep it goes! Twins win! Oh, the Twins win it! Buxton, game winner! And the Twins sweep the White Sox! Buxton, game ender! Free run! Tenth inning shot! And the Twins sweep the White Sox! Aaron Judge has the winning run. It's 5-3 Toronto in the ninth inning with one out. And the one-two. Drove deep! There's his walk-off home run! The Yankees have come back to win it! Six to five! Oh, man! What a blast by Judge! Bases loaded. Donaldson comes up. And he's the winning run at the plate. Runs arena! See ya! Grand slam for Josh Donaldson! And the Yankees pull victory from the jaws of defeat! What a big win for the New York Yankees! That's Josh! By gosh! And doing it with a notch. A grand slam, and the Yankees get a win. Oh, do they need that win! Drive toward the left field line. Kwon trying to get to it. Foul ground. Reaching into the crowd. Did he hang on to it? He did! And the catch! That was incredible. What an effort by Steven Kwon. Risking his body. Going into the crowd down the left field line to make a sensational catch. As Kwon hurled himself into the crowd, he left the field of play. He launched himself into the seats. Yeah, that was a crazy, super-athletic play right there. Deep left. Catch on the warning track by Steven Kwon! And the Guardians maintain the lead. But George just continues to throw strikes and pound that strike zone. George Kirby has just set an all-time record dating back to when this data began to become first public available. Since 1988, no pitcher has ever thrown 22 consecutive strikes to begin a ballgame. George Kirby's the first ever. It ends at 24. 24 consecutive strikes thrown by George Kirby to begin a ballgame. That's pretty phenomenal. There it is! Number 200! Right on by! Nothing but pure heat. Staying behind the baseball. Gas on the outside corner at 99. That is strikeout number 8 for Spencer Strider. And that is number 200 on the season. First modern-era Braves rookie to reach 200 strikeouts. And now Tampa Bay with runners at first and third. Two down in the 12th. And again, no score in this ballgame. And the batter coming to the plate will be Manuel Margot. A swing and a bouncer toward third. Backhanded by Ramirez. Foul ground throw to first. Scoop by Naylor! He got him! Backhanded grab by Ramirez going to the line. For first. A great scoop by Naylor. That's a base hit, I believe. No, it's not! How about that? Well, his play was better than my call. And that's some amazing range and finishing action by C.J. Abrams. Unbelievable to his right. Abrams robs Bohl with a spectacular diving backhand play and a rocket shot across on one bounce to get the out. That may be his finest play with the Nationals. That's the best play by a National shortstop this year as far as I'm concerned. What a play. Nick Allen gets up, spins, throws. Got him! What a play! That will be a contender for play of the year. I am with you. Sensational pick job by Nick Allen. Watch this. This is definitely worth another look. Are you kidding me? What a play by Nick Allen. Deep in the hole, does a full 360 spin. Comes up firing right on the money. That was spectacular by the A's rookie shortstop. Assist ball is driven to right. And a leaping try at the wall. Did he get it? He got it! Great catch, Guillermo Heredia. Tip of the cap from Ian Anderson over the wall to bring that one back. And McNeil can't believe it. He caught it! Bring that thing back! Guillermo to the top of the wall, says not today. Oh, what a catch. What a catch, Guillermo Heredia. If it wasn't going to leave, Joe, it was going to hit off the top of the wall. The 1-2. And this is in the air, out to the alley in right center. And wide lays out! And he makes a spectacular catch! And Eli White has done it again! Even his manager looks amazed. What a grab. I think he's going to have the play of the week again. This is absolutely outstanding. What a tremendous route to get to this baseball. That's swatted up the middle. Spear with a backhand by Jimenez! What a play! The turn two! Jimenez Anderson on to first. A sparkling double play. Holy cow. Jimenez on the backhand, gobbled it up, flipped it behind his back to Tim Anderson, who stepped on second, fired off line to Guerrero, who put the tag on Machado. And it goes 4-6-3. Holy cow. That's into right field. It'll hang in the air long enough for Ward to make a catch. Tagging up and heading to third is Green. Throw there. He's in time to get him! Put down... Taylor Ward, second assist of the series. And a lot of times an outfielder can have a strong arm. It's how quickly he gets rid of that baseball. Sometimes guys with good arms take a while to get rid of it. Taylor Ward just gets rid of it quickly. The 2-2 right back up the middle. Speared by Baez, and he flips to Candelario for the out at second. Oh, what a dazzling play by Javier Baez. That was destined for center, but not with him up the middle. The awareness of knowing where second base is as he's diving to his right, he knocks the ball down and pops out of his glove. He knows that Candy's going to get over there to cover the bag. And without even hardly looking, he flips it between his legs. That's amazing. Oh, my. That's big league right there. Oh, you bet. Shohei Otani coming off a couple of good outings. Insane what he did last night and what he's able to do on the bump. And he strikes out to side. Does he feel it or what? He knew that baseball was a strike out of his hand. You talk about a guy willing his team to give him a chance to win. He's a master at work. Career-high strikeouts, 12 for Otani, done twice. It is in there. 13 strikeouts for Shohei Otani. He does it, Shohei. Remember, the night before, he had eight RBIs. Last night, he goes for 13Ks. He is the only player in history that in a season since 1920, since they started tracking this stuff, to have at least eight RBIs and 13 strikeouts as a pitcher. He did it in back-to-back days. 2-2 to Swanson. Struck him out. And there's the record. 1,518 strikeouts for Jacob DeGrom, the most ever for a pitcher in his first 200 major league starts. Wow. Congratulations and a wicked slider. His signature pitch. One of them. With that strikeout, DeGrom passes you, Darvish, for the most ever by a pitcher in his 200th career game. DeGrom pitches number 200 today. Only five pitchers have had a lower ERA than DeGrom to this point. 3-2. That's a fly ball to right center. But it's got a perfect jump. And he made a perfect catch. That is as good as it gets. Andrew Vaughn with a helmet tip to the amazing flying man in center field. Diving to his left in the right center field alley. And all Vaughn can do is take his helmet off and tip his cap to Cedric Mullins who entertains while going over in a right center field. Here's Soto. A little flare. Camp out. And Camp Doc gets it back in. And what a play by Tony Camp. He went airborne. Airborne. He flipped. I'm not even. I mean, that's going to make a contortionist squirm. This is freakish. I mean, that's fully laying out over his shoulder. And that turn at the end, he's going into this roll here. You see him brace himself with that throwing arm to kind of soften the blow. What an athletic play. Grounded. And Witt is going to come to the plate. He flexes. High baseball IQ. You got it. Athleticism. This ball gets through. And even a bad throw. Cleveland's up. Look at this. Takes him off balance. He throws him a knee. Quickly to Salvi. Kept the ball down. So he was able to get there quickly. And Salvi puts the tag on it. That might be the play of the year. This one is lifted down the left field line into the A's bullpen. Josh Smith. Long way to run. And what a play by Josh Smith. Now Nick Allen will tag and score easily. But for a guy who was making just his second start in left field in his career at any level, that was an incredible play by Josh Smith. He did make the catch. What a play by Josh Smith. Are you kidding me with that catch? Josh Smith just sacrificed his body racing through the Oakland bullpen and making a diving catch. Left center field. Long run Springer. He got it. Play from George Springer. What a play. George Springer airborne. Snatches it out of the sky. There's a Rogers Center highlight that will live forever. George Springer with an incredible diving grab. In the gap. He comes up. Pumped up. In the air to center. Alec Thomas in pursuit. At the wall. Oh, he got it. Alec Thomas takes a home run away from Joey Votto. Jolene, Jolene. A larcenous, weeping catch from Thomas. And he takes away Votto's sixth home run of the season. You won't see a finer catch than that all season long. In the center from Connor Falefa. Mullins got a good jump. He will collide with Mateo. And Mateo caught it ridiculously. What a play by Jorge Mateo. Mullins went into a slide. It went off the glove, up into the air for Jorge Mateo. And Mateo reeled it in and somehow held on. A zero in hits column for the Phillies. With three more outs to obtain. Edwin Diaz will try to secure those three outs. And the Mets will tighten up their defense behind him. Nearly ten years after the Mets, only no hitter. Every time you go into a year, you want to have that special year. With special events that happen. Special things that propel you to a championship. And this would represent another glimpse of great things happening. One-two coming. Struck in. Nasty slider. Foul tipped for the first down of the night. Now the pitch. Swung on and missed. Strike three. He got him with a slider. Two men away. Real Muto, like the two guys before him, have great numbers against Diaz. He just collided with a second-nose history. From the finishing touches. Striking out the side of the ninth inning. And the Yankees are down to their final out. Astros pitchers have thrown eight and two-thirds no-hit innings. And Giancarlo Stanton is the Yankees' final hope. Ground ball towards third. Two hots for Bregman. And the Astros have done it at Yankee Stadium. A combined no-hitter. Christian Javier goes seven. Hector Neres goes one. Presley finishes it off with a one-two-three ninth inning. The Yankees no-hit for the first time in 19 years. And the Astros did it with six pitchers on June 11, 2003. Jackie Bradley Jr. pops it up. Long run for Cabrera. Oh, he made it. What a great. I mean, knowing that you're going to hit the tarp. And it looks like he smacked his head going forward. But tell you what, this little guy has given his all since he's been here. That is a full sprint. Wow. Fly ball deep to the gap in right center off the bat of Bregman. That's trouble. On the run. Riley Greene dives. And he made the catch. Riley Greene does it again. Lays out on the track in deepest right center. What a play. I thought that ball was up the gap. But he ran it quickly and put it into another gear. Another highlight play for Riley Greene. Just an incredible effort in right center field. Had no business catching that ball. But he makes another spectacular grab. Andrew Vaughn puts a charge into one. Same spot as Moncada. Riley Greene leaps up and pulled it back. One of the best catches you will ever see. And it comes from Riley Greene stealing a homer away from Andrew Vaughn. Wow. Leaping at the fence. He takes a two-run home run away from Vaughn. What a catch. Wow. Are you kidding me? That's as good as it gets. Tying the jump two feet up and over the wall. There's a flare to right center. Riley Greene got to go. Did he pull that? And he did. Superman dive. And Riley Greene makes one of the best plays of the season. Riley Greene lays out. Riley Greene flies through the air with a backhand grab and takes extra bases away. I mean, he is fully extended on a diving play on a ball going away from him. Oh, man. I mean, that might be up there for running of catch of the year. By Chopper, Arnauto, bare hands, throws, pick. Got him. It's amazing. Arnauto and Goldie again. Are you kidding me with these two? That's the only play you can make. Look at Goldie's face. He is amazed by this play as well. Has to go with the bare hand and throw a rocket. Hey, Dillon, I just want to let you know that Dillon Carlson is about to be the next hitter. First three guys in front of you just hit home runs. No pressure, though. No pressure indeed. Carlson makes it four in a row. A consecutive home runs for St. Louis. Yepes and now Dillon. Nothing St. Louis. Kip, what a play. Stop it. Tony Kip, what? Maybe the best play of the year, folks. I mean, that is full airborne. Diving play to his right. Unbelievable catch by Tony Kip. Spectacular. As he flies through the air and even Tony mouth wide open. That was unbelievable. Tony Kip just made the highlight reel for everybody on a Tuesday night. Gets in on him. Loop shot. Shuttled up center. Falling. Who wants it? Swanson. Oh, Barry Dansby. Swanson. What a catch. Spectacular play by Dansby. How in the world did he do that? I don't know. He comes up all smiles and somehow he squeezes out number three out at medium depth left center field. Amazing play. Down three nothing. Change up. Flipped and foul ground. Riley sprints in. Riley. Holy smokes. Wow. What a catch. Austin Riley with a catch of his life. No way. No way he caught that. Over his shoulder. Onto the tarp. Snowcoating it. And then sliding down the front of the tarp. Goodness gracious. I can't believe it. Neither can stop. Fans are standing as they've been standing for every Albert Pujols at bat. They're standing to watch Adam Wainwright and Yadier Molina. They're both going to try to compete here tonight. They're going to celebrate 325 games as battery mates. Yadier Molina and Adam Wainwright have set the all-time record. They have made the most starts as battery mates in the history of Major League Baseball. Number 325 linked together through friendship and linked together as brothers. On the mound, Thromber Valdez. Big start for Thromber Valdez. We talked about how he knows this streak that he is on. He has worked for it. He worked extremely hard in between starts to make sure he's in position to throw at least six innings in every start that he goes out there, and he's proven to be a workhorse for Dusty Baker. And he gets a third. Thromber Valdez strikes out the side, and that curveball continues to play. 24 consecutive starts like that, especially in a day and age when pitchers don't always go deep into starts, and nobody goes deeper into a start in the American League than Thromber. 11-2, and Thromber Valdez with a Major League record 25 consecutive quality starts. Garcia with the 0-2. An immaculate inning. Nine pitch, three strikeouts. Rarely happens in baseball. Luis Garcia, an immaculate inning, and a fist pump on his way to the dugout. One strike away from another immaculate inning. He did it. That was incredible. You've got to be kidding me. Two. Two immaculate innings. Two of them. In one game. That has to be a new Major League mark. That could not have ever happened before. Phil Maton is thrilled as he walks off the mound. Luis Garcia just got matched by Maton. Same three guys. Unreal. My goodness, he did. Incredible. Making a tremendous catch. With a smile on his face. Oh, my goodness. That might be his best ever. The deep center field. Taylor is at the track. He's at the wall, and he comes. Michael A. Taylor got his foot on the wall and catapulted himself up and may have taken a home run away from Kisner. Oh, my goodness. Maybe the play of the year in center. Michael A. Taylor takes one away in one of the best plays you'll ever see. Short center field. Takes one away from G-Man Choi. Yeah, you better smile. Wow. As he steals a home run for G-Man Choi. Spectacular fence-climbing grab by Eli White. Turner drives one to center, chasing Nimmo back to the warning track right at the fence. He made the catch. The catch of the year for Brandon Nimmo. He took a home run away from Justin Turner. Brandon Nimmo keeps the Mets in front in this game by bringing one back. Oh, my goodness. What a catch. Brandon Nimmo up near the wall and right center. May have taken what would have been a game-time home run. Right center field. And this one is caught. Randall Grinchik takes a three-run home run from Corey Seager. Wow. He's right. Grinchik leading over the wall. He snags a home run. That was in the bullpen. He jumped, timed it perfectly, and robbed the hitter, Corey Seager. Unbelievable catch. Lauer with a one-two-three bottom of the first inning. Here's the fly ball out to deep center. Davis back onto the track, reaching up, makes a catch in a full dive and then collides with the wall. He hangs on. Rosarena is racing around the bases just in case, but he held onto it. Davis is still down in pain, though. Oh, what a catch by Jonathan Davis. Still on a knee. I don't know how he made that catch. It took him all the way back to the wall. He had to reach almost behind him and flip around and make the catch. And now Jonathan Davis, he's going to stay in this game, and that is amazing that he is going to stay in this game. And with the right-hander on the mound, Servers go into his bench and come up with a big double, maybe a home run. One strike away. Not a soul in this place that doesn't know what's at stake. And here's the next delivery. It's chopped to short. This should do it. The throw to first. It's a no-hitter. First in just his 11th. No-hitter. That's the first history he's played his teammates over by first base area. A historical night tonight at the Big A. What a night for Reed Detmers, the youngster just 22 years old. Everything working tonight. What a night for Reed Detmers. And there's someone dressed as SpongeBob SquarePants because that's Oscar Gonzalez's walk-up song. Here's Oscar Gonzalez. A swing and a high fly. Deep left center field. It is good. Oscar Gonzalez sends the Guardians to the division series. A mob scene at home plate. Boring solo homer to left center. And the Yankees are one out away from a two games to one lead. Oscar Gonzalez, exactly one week ago, sent Cleveland to this division series with a 15th inning walk-off home run. Here it comes. A swing and a liner back up the middle. Base hit in the center. Here comes Kwon. Here comes Rosario. He's done it again. Oscar Gonzalez. A two-out, two-strike, two-run single to center. Mob scene in right. A three-run ninth inning. Christian Javier, who has gone from low-level prospect to a reliever in the majors, to, John, one of the hottest pitchers in baseball and a game-four starter. Back-to-back Ks against back-to-back all-star hitters. And he's 25 years old. Pitching with a quiet and growing confidence. Nick Castellanos. Castellanos down swinging. And Christian Javier blowing his fastball by Phillies hitters. Another fastball to the knees. Five consecutive strikeouts for Javier. Brees Hoskins to the plate. Ground ball left side right at Pena. Shortstop up with it. Throws across in time. And Christian Javier, absolutely masterful. Six no-hit innings. Has struck out nine. And we're through six innings in game four of the World Series. And it's Brian Abreu. I mean, take your pick. You can pretty much close your eyes and point, and you're going to find some of the nasty stuff. Got him. Strike three. Waving at that 100 miles per hour. Two and two on Castellanos. Strikes out the side. The Astros in total control as we go to the eighth inning. Rafael Montero, the third pitcher of the game. James Segura, who's 0 for 2. Shoots one to right. That hangs up. And the Astros have eight no-hit innings. After it initially looked like it might drop, Astros pitchers Christian Javier, Brian Abreu, and Rafael Montero have combined for eight no-hit innings. Ryan Presley as good as they come out of the back end of the bullpen. Phillies down to their last out. Down 5-0 in game four. Real Muto. Bouncing ball to third. Kicked by Griffin. Throw across in time. The Astros have a World Series no-hitter. No-hitter for the Houston Astros. As they flank the Philadelphia Phillies, this World Series is all square at two games apiece. The Astros make history in the city of brotherly love. You don't think when Bryce Harper signed that mega deal to come here, he had visions of having a huge hit to send his team to the World Series. He's one win, and in this case, one swing, perhaps, from the World Series. Hits one in the air. Lost center field. Bryce Harper has put his tenth career home for postseason, and he's worth every penny of that contract. And a two-out, two-strike single by Jeremy Pena has set the stage here for Jordan Alvarez, one of the most feared hitters in the game. Alvarez launches deep right field. And that's what he's got. The Astros walk him off in game one. Are you kidding me? And Alvarez belts it. Deep right field. Walk-off win. Jordan Alvarez, a walk-off three-run homer. And the Astros stun the Mariners in game one of the division series. Incredible. The house of horrors for the Seattle Mariners continues. What an incredible finish to game one of this American League division series. Jordan Alvarez, a three-run walk-off home run and a no-doubter. Jordan Alvarez on a 2-1. Alvarez hits a high drive center field. Veer leans back. This game is turned upside down. See you later. Go up. 3-1. Bombs away for Jordan once again. And it's massive. A 450-foot home run to straightaway center field. He hits that over the batter's eye. Incredible. And Menomee Park is on fire. A titanic drive for the ages over the batter's eye and center field. And Jordan Alvarez has given the Astros a 3-1 lead in the sixth inning. Now it's Real Muto. The game one hero has been soaring since. Fly ball right center field. McCormick on the move. He's at the track. He's at the wall. Makes the grab. Tez McCormick. Two gone in the ninth. What a catch by McCormick. Crashing into the 13-foot high wall and deep right center field. Two outs. Wow. The catch of his life for McCormick. Comes back to Philly, his hometown, and makes a wonderful catch. Boy, you dream of a catch like that in the World Series. You're running full speed. You're trying to time it up. At the very top of your catch, you feel it hit your glove. What's going through your mind in that moment? I just can't believe I caught it. Honestly, he hit it perfect spot. I mean, I couldn't jump any higher. And when I caught that ball and fell down, I just remember the stadium being super quiet and being super excited. And, yeah, I was happy. Here comes Cabrera. Everybody on their feet here at Comerica Park. 1-1 ground ball. Base hit in the right. 3,000 for Miguel Cabrera. Raises his arms. The Tigers dug out empties. Oh, what an incredible journey from a skinny 15-year-old discovered on the dusty fields of Maracay to an icon in Motown. Miguel Cabrera, the pride of Venezuela, has joined one of the most exclusive clubs containing the best hitters in baseball history. 3,000 hits. The bat will bring up Aaron Judge, and they will change the baseballs. And the 3-2. Drill deep to left field. This could be it. See ya. Number 61. He's been chasing history, and now he makes it. He and Roger Maris are tied with 61 home runs, the most anybody has ever hit in a single season in American League history. Well, Aaron Judge has been stuck at 61 since the Yankees were in Toronto. Off the ball. 62. Aaron Judge hits his 62nd. All the Yankees out of the dugout to greet him. Just think of it. Three Yankee right fielders. The Babe hitting 60 and 27. The jolly Roger hitting 61 and 61. And now Aaron Judge hits his 62nd home run, the most home runs any American leaguer has hit in a single season. This is Judgment Day. Case closed. Albert Pujols home run earlier tonight. It's one swing away from 700 career home runs. It's deep to left to 700. Pujols hits a three-run homer, and he hit 699 and 700 at Dodger Stadium on September 23rd, 2022. Everybody in the ballpark is standing. What a great moment. A Hollywood moment here in L.A. 700 home runs for the great Albert Pujols.
