00:00We gather today to honor the life and legacy of Orlando Cepeda, a beloved friend, teammate,
00:18and true icon of the game.
00:21His family, I just want to say I love you guys.
00:24You've always made me feel like part of the family, which I've seen Orlando Jr. when he
00:32was like three years old.
00:34And he was running up and down the stairs, distracting me in center field.
00:38And now here he is, grown.
00:42All his brothers and sisters, I've known all them since they were this high.
00:47I'm Uncle Dusty to them, but they are family to me.
00:52And I just love the fact that you invited me here today to speak about Orlando.
00:58Landon Roop, the right-hander, trying to shut down the Padres, but the Padres got something
01:03else in mind.
01:04They're going for the sweep.
01:05Two-pitch mix, although he throws other pitches pretty heavy on the first two, especially
01:09the curveball.
01:10And when he's on his game, he gets some grounders.
01:12To center, and Jastrzemski is there waiting, so they finally get a rise out.
01:19Took nine pitches.
01:21Now he's swinging, and he drives one to center.
01:22Yaz is there waiting for it, and he's got this one.
01:26The Yaz perfectly placed, it seems.
01:29Left fielder Ramos, Yaz in center, and Carnacion in right.
01:33And a fly ball to left, over to his right, Ramos, he's got it.
01:38Three fly ball outs in the first inning.
01:40On the mound today, Martin Perez.
01:42Welcome back, left-hander.
01:44To third, another chance here for Solano, backed up on it, throw, gets there for the
01:48first down.
01:50He's a corners guy.
01:51First, third, making the play.
01:52Backed up on that big hop.
01:53Big first down.
01:54Right back at him, and on the backhand, Cronenworth gets it there in time.
01:59Nice play by Jake.
02:00Ended up right behind the bag.
02:02And there's a whip in that infield, too.
02:04Two down.
02:05And then he uses the arm there accurately to get him.
02:08In the air, left side, Bogart to the short line, and left-back pedaling will make the
02:13catch.
02:14It's a one-two-three first for Martin Perez.
02:17Machado with a couple hits last night, going two for five, two RBIs in the game last night.
02:22Swings at the one-two, and a pop-up foul ground.
02:25Back comes Casale to make the catch.
02:27Here's the two-and-one pitch.
02:29Ground ball to second.
02:31That comes up, played cleanly by Walton, and he throws him out at first.
02:35And a breaking ball, and a pop-up, and he has, calling everybody off, and the infielders
02:42saying thank you very much.
02:43A scoreless game in the top of the third.
02:46Pulls this one into right field.
02:47Base hit.
02:48Well, he got the curve.
02:49It was up a little bit, and he didn't hit it all that hard, but Jake Cronenworth has
02:53the first hit of the game for the Padres.
02:55Rupes, one-one pitch.
02:57Hit a little soft liner.
02:58This one into left field for a base hit.
03:00So Peralta just kind of dunks one in.
03:02That's back-to-back, very similar-looking soft line drives.
03:06Two-one pitch.
03:07Ground ball to short.
03:08Wisely has it to second one.
03:10And Walton to first.
03:11Got him double play.
03:12To the plate.
03:14And that one misses down and in with a curve ball four.
03:16He didn't, Lane and Rupes just didn't look like he wanted anything to do with the rise.
03:19So a rise who, the walks are not a frequent occurrence for him.
03:22But in that spot, it wasn't an intentional walk, but it almost felt that way.
03:27He does.
03:28And a swing.
03:29And a miss, and that'll end the inning.
03:32Two-pitch.
03:33And a swing and a miss.
03:34That was not a real good at bat for Brett Wisely.
03:37Our team Perez made him look bad for a strikeout of the day.
03:40Back-to-back curve balls.
03:41That hack on the previous one, so why not go back to it?
03:44That one caught a lot of the plate as well.
03:46He is doing the catching today.
03:47Fly ball, left field.
03:49Profar sunglasses on, drifting to the edge of the warning track.
03:53For out number two.
03:54Through the right side.
03:55No!
03:56Laying it out is Cronenworth!
03:57You can hit it anywhere, but you cannot hit it to the ground zone!
04:01Jake Cronenworth laying it out to make the grab.
04:04And a one-two-three-third for Perez, thanks to his second baseman, Jacob Cronenworth.
04:10But he's been pitching very well, including in this game where he's retired all nine hitters
04:14at his face.
04:15Not anymore.
04:16Line drive, left center field, base hit.
04:18Hustling over into a slide to cut it off his Profar, and he pops up, wheels around, and
04:23throws back in towards second, so that is going to force Canna to stop it first.
04:27He took a big, wide turn, Canna did.
04:30One-two pitch.
04:31Ramos hits a little pop-up behind first.
04:34It'll be a rise going back to catch it.
04:37Here's the pitch.
04:38Chapman drives that one on a line to center field.
04:40Here comes Merrill, though, to make the catch on the move.
04:43Two down.
04:44Yeah, he's a lefty.
04:45Don't worry, he'll figure it out.
04:47It's rough when you've got a mitt that's the size of your head, or bigger.
04:50Three-one pitch, and Carnacion hits a little squibber to the right side.
04:55Cronenworth has it, and throws him out.
04:57And he just missed off the outside edge.
04:59That's ball four, second walk handed out by Roop.
05:03On the ground to first, corralled by Canna.
05:05He'll tag the bag at first for the shore out.
05:08Turn ball struck him out swinging, and that one came in and dipped into the dirt.
05:12Very high ball four.
05:14Diaz gets a lead off walk, and here comes Luciano.
05:18And a change-up strikes out Luciano.
05:22Pops it up, left side, it's Solano.
05:25Makes the catch with his feet, firmly on the dirt of the infield.
05:28Two down to third, and a good pick by Solano.
05:31Tough hop, and he fires across for the out.
05:33That will end the inning.
05:35Giants, nothing.
05:36Padres, nothing.
05:37Sixth inning.
05:38To left, and that's going to drop in for a base hit in front of Ramos.
05:42A rise with a single, second time he's been on.
05:46On the ground to first base, and it eats up Canna.
05:50He'll have no play anywhere.
05:52Some reason Bivens, the pitcher, didn't go to cover after the misplay there by Canna.
05:56They may have had a chance.
05:58Not a spectator out near the hill.
06:00Go far, drop it down the bun here, and the sacrifice is complete.
06:03Nicely done.
06:04A chance here for Machado to plate the first run of this game.
06:08Fly ball, right center field, Yastrzemski moving over.
06:12He will make the catch, tagging at third, and jogging home is a rise with the game's
06:16first run.
06:17Padres take a 1-0 lead.
06:19Sack fly for Manny Machado.
06:21Perez has been good, and Donovan Walton is going to lead things off.
06:26And Walton, it's out.
06:28Triples alley.
06:29On the move is Peralta.
06:30Still on the move.
06:31He's not going to get it.
06:32And guess what, folks?
06:34It is out of here.
06:37Donovan Walton muscled up, and that was out toward the deep part of the ballpark, too.
06:42The Giants with their first run after having been shut out for 32 innings in a row.
06:52Popped up.
06:53Back at third.
06:54Solano going over.
06:55So is Bogarts.
06:56Bogarts will make the play.
06:57Nice.
06:58That's the play.
06:59That is the play.
07:00And that's ball four, a one-out walk for Luciano.
07:04That was just the second walk of the day allowed by Padres pitching.
07:08And a swing and a miss.
07:09He goes chasing.
07:10Strikes out.
07:11Fastball at 97.
07:12Two down.
07:13And that's a nice bounce back after the walk to Luciano.
07:16Runner takes off, and he will be out at second base.
07:20Luciano trying to get into scoring position.
07:22His gun down.
07:23Cronenworth covers and caught stealing two to four to win the seventh inning.
07:28And Fernando Tatis is hitting here in a 1-1 game, eighth inning.
07:32Fly ball.
07:33Left field off the bat.
07:34Fernando Tatis Jr. that is gone.
07:37Pinch hit.
07:38Home run.
07:39Puts the Padres on top, two to one.
07:41Welcome to the game, Fernando.
07:43That's a game changer.
07:44It's 2-1, Padres.
07:46It's the bottom of the ninth inning.
07:48Padres, two.
07:49Giants, one.
07:51Elliott Ramos standing in.
07:54Down the line.
07:55Hit well.
07:57It is out of here.
08:01And this game is tied.
08:03And now we want to find out if that went into the water.
08:06Because if it did, there's never been a right-handed hitter that has done it
08:10since this ballpark opened its doors in 2000.
08:14I mean, aside from tying up the score here in the bottom of the ninth inning,
08:17there's some history involved with this swing of the bat.
08:19Pitch misses outside to Peralta.
08:21Cronenworth standing at second.
08:23On the ground and into left field to base hit.
08:26Here comes Cronenworth around, and the Padres will take a 3-2 lead.
08:30RBI single for David Peralta.
08:33It's a ground ball to third.
08:35Coming home, and the throw not going to be in time.
08:38Throw to first to get the out there.
08:40Padres take a two-run lead to the 10th.
08:432-2.
08:44Conforto drives one to left field.
08:46Going back on it all the way to the wall and reaching up is Lockridge
08:50to make the catch.
08:52Tagging from third, Ustremski.
08:54He'll score.
08:55Michael Conforto comes up just a little bit short.
08:59Ground ball headed to third.
09:01Solano slings it across.
09:03Padres win, and they sweep the Giants in a three-game series.
09:08This one takes bonus baseball today, but the Padres get it done
09:12and hold on as they win 4-3 in 10 innings.
