Guardians vs. A's Game Highlights (4/3/23) | MLB Highlights

And it's the cap on the bump for the green and gold for the first time in twenty twenty three James Caprillion taking the ball for the maiden voyage of this twenty twenty three campaign. So Steven Kwan steps to the plate and we are set for baseball line drive at a base hit left field near the line racing over Seth Brown cuts it off Kwan racing for second base he'll go in with a lead off double. That's his second double on the young season. Well that home bed feels really good. And he was not going to stop for a single he just continued to go right on to second base. So good a bad for Jose Ramirez. He hasn't even gotten locked in yet. Drawing walks and still doing enough to make his presence felt. Josh Naylor lines up the middle in the center field a base hit. Here comes Steven Kwan with the game's first run and the Guardians will play from in front as Josh Naylor drives home his third run on the year. And here is Andres Jimenez. He has a hit in three straight games coming in. Get on the line it's a fair ball that's going to score Jose Ramirez Josh Naylor on his way to third he'll stop there. It's a two out RBI double for Andres Jimenez and it's two to nothing Guardians. What we say the other day this guy with two outs is a tough out. He was one of the best clutch hitters last year all year long and he gets a breaking ball he goes down and keeps it fair. It looked like it got chalk. Well Zach Plesek has to feel good about two runs in that first inning as he can go out and throw the rubber for his first start of the season. Hit hard but Naylor reaches out step to his right he's got it out. Three two pitches inside and it's a one hour walk. First pitch to Seth Brown is hit high in the air shallow left center who's going to catch it. It's going to be nobody somehow and I mean somehow that ball dropped and when it went up Dallas I saw it more toward left center but the wind is is going left to right and it looked to me like the wind really took it. So Connor Capel with a chance to knock in a run it goes as a hit for Brown he'll take it. Backhanded knock down to Jimenez made a nice play. If he feels it clean he's got a shot but he did not quite come up with it clean. It's going to be an RBI hit in the air on the board and Ryan Noda leads off for Oakland. Noda was a rule five pick out of the Dodgers organization base hit Ryan Noda first big league hit. It's a line drive. Nice job Ryan Noda. Congratulations. Well now now we know it's official. That's right. Authentic authentic in the hole off the glove of a diving Rosario and look at the hustle by Noda. Excellent base running and he goes all the way around to third. Asturi Ruiz he reached safely in all three games against the Angels. This guy can really fly line drive. Noda scores Langel airs he's digging for third and they'll hold him up. Ruiz picks up his first RBI of the year and this ballgame is tied. Well I don't think that it's by mistake that you see the bottom part of this lineup start to do a little damage here fastball up out over the plate. Ruiz puts a great swing on it with his speed. You know it's going to be more than 90 feet. Tony Kemp grounded out his first time up Kemp with a line drive and that's a base hit. Langel airs scores Ruiz stops another RBI hit. This one belongs to Tony Kemp and the A's have the lead three to two guys. We can talk about frustration with Zach. Right now it's about location from over here. It looks like everything is down the middle. I mentioned that Peterson when he was with the Brewers his nickname was on base Jase. I mean right now he's got a chance to really put Zach Plesek back on his heels and another one to Peterson. It's in the air right center field and it's hit well. That's a three run shot for Jase Peterson. He was putting up a good at bat and then he finally got something he could handle. The boy he put a swing on it and got it out of here. And it seems like it may be blown a little bit that way. But that is the last pitch at Zach will throw tonight. Guardians trailing six to two as we hit the fourth inning here in Oakland. I'll try and get something done here against the starter James Caprillion. He goes to work on Josh Naylor and Naylor hits one high and deep to right. This one is into the seats. Home run Josh Naylor his second on the season. Guardians cut into that lead. It's now six to three Oakland as Naylor's two for two a single and now a home run. One swing you get a run on the board. Let's go. Now you cut it in half. So three hits in the inning now and they are starting to mount a comeback. Miles Straw to the plate fly to center is only time up. Miles Straw with a base hit left field that's going to get down. Scoring is Jimenez. Here comes Will Brennan. Sarbanes going to wave him home. There will be no throw. Miles Straw delivers with a two run double and it's a one run game here in Oakland. Oh he did him a favor. He hung a breaking ball and Miles turned on it and hit it and got it to the wall. So that scores Brennan from first and a pair of RBI eyes. And that's just what the doctor ordered a hanging slider inside part of the plate. Gable an RBI single in a strikeout. Bunnett and it's a beauty Ramirez on the bare hand and it's not in time. Gable who runs extremely well once he got it down you could tell he had a pretty good chance to beat it out. I love it. So here's Ramone. Drive to run shot eight to five A's second home run of the year for Ramone kind of a high line drive number two on the year for the A's number two on the year for the laser. Now if you can get one or two of those runs home here with one out lot of ball game left now Steven Kwan Kwan waits here's the pitch to him swung on lifted to left round going back and over now coming in toward the line to make the catch Zunino tagging in the front of the plate is going to die and it's not in time and a sacrifice to left by Steven Kwan scoring Zunino with Will Brennan at second who has he's got good speed a two out hit from Ahmed Rosario and you've got yourself a one run game like that base hit center field around third Will Brennan will score and we do indeed have ourselves a one run game. There you go. So they take advantage of that error and the miss not turn double play on a nice two out base hit and Ahmed needed that as a big two out hit there for Ahmed. Here's Seth Brown Brown hits it hard toward the middle Rosario's their throw is wide way wide Brown's going to try for second he's digging that way and he'll make it with a head first slide and now Ramone Laureano now the three one offering right field base hit they're going to wave him home Brennan's throw to the plate and it's in time. They got a full. What a gun by Will Brennan that ends the seventh that keeps Cleveland in the ballgame. Oakland's lead remains at one. But you have them at the corners and you got the middle of the lineup coming up. Left field Brown makes the catch tagging coming home is strong. The throw goes to the pitcher's mound and we got a brand new ball game at eight eight as a Ben Rosario has his second run batted in of the night. Jose Ramirez coming to the plate they get six hits and Kwan. Oh my goodness the ball got by Capel and Kwan's going to come around and score the go ahead run. Ramirez on his way to third. Are you kidding me. That is one where you get there's not much you could do. It's going to be a base hit and he overran the baseball. Connor Capel who began his professional career with Cleveland would like to dig a hole and hide. Yeah he's had a tough night. Popped up near the line. It's going to be caught. Here comes Ramirez. Here's the throw it's in time but then he tagged him. No he did not. Ramirez is safe with a daring dash from third and it's ten to eight Cleveland. By Oman Manuel Closset last year a one point three six Zara forty two saves three pitch not close he walked in Seth Brown is one for four single. He has also reached on an air so he's been a board a couple of times. Drive to center straw bag babies gone. He's going to be a no doubter for Seth Brown against one of the game's best closers to tie this game with two outs in the bottom of the ninth inning. First and third nobody out tenth inning. Now Ramirez in this moment as tough as they come in this situation and a base hit rightfield by Ramirez. Guardians take the lead and all the way to third goes Ahmed Jose Ramirez. He was down to the count O2 but he comes back and delivers to put the Guardians back on top. First Tony with a tying run with excellent speed at second base pop the left Kwan the Fremont native makes the catch bucket. The Guardians take the opener in dramatic fashion holding on for a one run win.
