Nationals vs. Rays Game Highlights (6/29/24) | MLB Highlights

Aaron saali got off to a good start to his season but winless in his last 13 starts the Rays have lost his last eight starts two and five on the record er a 5.20 however coming off of a very good start against the Pirates in Pittsburgh five innings three hits just one earned run now he did that all on 61 pitches CJ Abrams in the left hand Enders batters box stands in CJ hit by two pitches yesterday took x-rays on his wrist after the second one was a little worrisome but good to go Sali into the wi and the pitch beled a deep right center by Abrams this ball is way back going going gone goodbye bang Zoom goes Abrams with a game lead off home run that’s his fifth leadoff home run home run number 13 of the year for Abrams right over the 382 ft marker in right center field and the nashs on the board with with a big swing at the start it’s Washington one Tampa Bay nothing 13th of the year for CJ who continues a torid stretch over the last few weeks here’s the wi of the pitch and Thomas takes just outside with a cutter Bowl four so he works the walk from svali and the Nationals have a runner at first with still nobody out round ball right side Palos to walls one first base ter 463 on the double play What did the Rays need that but he walked him highing away second walk of the inning so he allows the Nationals to restart man at first two down the batter is Luis Garcia now the pitch swinging Garcia lines it to the Gap in left center field that’s going to get down and go to the fence maybe oh cut off by Siri manessa so he will have to be held at third the throw from Siri way offline first basem yandi Diaz into the middle of the infield the area with the second basement plays to retrieve it so no further advance for the runners good play by Siri held the runner you know that ball goes to the wall he scores without question all right Ramirez’s first at bat against the Rays since the Rays let him go and I’ll tell you what it as as not pretty as this top of the first has been if you can somehow hold the Nationals to one run throwing 30 plus pitches in it that’s a small Victory Swing and a miss he struck him out to retire the side he went up with a cutter and the Nationals get only one taking the mound this afternoon for the Washington Nationals it’s going to be right-hander Jake Irving five and six on the record very good RA and an outstanding whip there of 1.09 and Yanni Diaz will start it for the Rays G gets a first pitch ground ball to CJ abrams’s right bounces the throw over there in plenty of time one pitch one out for the Nationals right-hander so that brings up Brandon laau towering popper fouled Ruiz tried to locate it and that ball H the uh rigging up there and so that’s going to be a foul ball and boy I’ll tell you Ruiz there was quite a dance as he was trying to locate and make a play on that ball I love the fist bump by Brandon La when he realized that this ball was going to be called dead he just pumps his fist like yes new life and a high shot deep into Right Center that baby’s got a chance to go gone home run Brandon La Brandon La got another shot and boy he delivered quite a shot gets another pitch see you God bless the cat break bringing to ground her up the Third Base Line deep back HED by szel he’s going to try and bounce it on three hops in time for the out so the NS making a decision to use the turf here to help them szel to go deep into his right and one step on the Outfield Turf I’ll call that two hops in a skip more than a third hop to get over to first base swinging a line shot right center Thomas back and a little leap as he crosses up on the warning track and hauls it in for out number three that ball hit hard by Josh low a good play to run it down by Lane Thomas in right center field Abrams takes a cutter upstairs and CJ draws his 21st walk of the season the Nationals third walk against Sali and here’s Lane Thomas the line drive going to be off the glove of palasio they have a chance for a force and they get it walls got over there to take the throw when pazio recovered it the out call Little CU he making the call the previous play is underw that is close that is close those feet coming on either side of the bag almost simultaneously after review the ruling on the field is overturned the runner is safe Washington will retain its challenge so now the Nationals have two on and none out in the third and there it’s strike three call and Winker not happy and you hope that Winker is just not happy with himself because that was clearly a strike this isn’t even borderline the curveball and there’s the little sweeping action that he gets with it right into the zone roet sticks the landing and Riggs makes the punch ground ball hit to third could be two paradas to second one the relay Palos in Time Around the Horn double play and Aaron svali gets his second double play in three Innings and the Nets get nothing the one gone n on in the third for yandi Diaz Yi’s been real good all the time lately he is hit in 20 straight setting a new franchise Mark a swing in a Miss he blew a fast ball by Diaz up in the zone so that’s strikeout number two pitch is grounded soft a short two hopper for Abrams he’ll make the play to first for the out Irvin has a one two three inning his first we go to the fourth tied at one so palaso made a nice grab on the throw by Paredes and that cost the Rays the double play with the low throw by the third baseman Paredes palaso actually bailed him out scooping the throw so the Nationals avoid a third double play thanks to a bit of a miscue there so Garcia’s at third and senzel the runner at first and now you get Jacob young who had two doubles yesterday at the plate now the onew in the dirt ball blocked in front of the plate runner’s going to break for the plate Garcia Dives in and he scores so rfit picked up the pitch in front of the plate and Garcia saw an opening and slides in the back door and the Nationals have the go-ahead run on a wild pitch in the dirt that bounced in front of the plate and the Nationals lead two to one nobody out two to one Nationals bottom of the fifth Irving sets Runner does go the pitch is strike three called the throw down the tag by Garcia he is out at second base it is a strike him out throw him out double play Siri caught looking and Ruiz throws out palasio with Garcia applying the tag and from a walk and a man on with nobody out it’s two out nobody on breaking ball late swing by RF he strikes out of the inning is over now the Nationals lead this pitcher duel two to one we go to the seventh CJ Abrams now at the plate this is a pretty critical moment for the Rays to try and keep this at a 2-1 game he golfed in the air to deep left field back in this one a Ros Arena racing back to the track looking up and it’s off the top of the wall car’s by him all the way toward the infield racing home is Young Abrams will stop at second with a double so young scores as Abrams makes it 3-1

club record 20 game hitting streak and a line drive oh it’s caught caught by manessis a Hot Shot off the bat indeed if that’s the way his hitting streak ends that’s a tough pill to swallow wow and
