Braves vs. A's Game Highlights (5/30/23) | MLB Highlights

It's J.P. Sears on the bunk for the 11th time for the green and gold towards the last three starts have been really good for J.P. Sears two point seven six era over those last three starts Matt hits it solidly into center field for a one out single and Sears will try another one to pitch here and sit sharply to third back handed by bride second for one on the first by Diaz and they take it around the horn five four three good start for Sears Brasel to your inner leader in a bunch of pitching categories which is something that you would not have thought about come spring training but he's just done such a great job with this opportunity got him looking for strike three and a good fast ball and the first pitch he sees from Elder he hits on two bounces to Arcia a good start for Elder and Sean Murphy back home here in Oakland and now he hits against a guy that he caught last year and got him on a fast ball and he got his former teammate with a fastball at the top of the zone and he misses outside so it is the second walk through six batters for Bryce Elder painting the outside corner and down goes Jonah Bry two outs another slider. You can see the rotation on the ball there struck him out three K's through two innings for Bryce Elder back to back strikeouts follow the walk. Kevin Pillar leading off getting the start today with a lefty on the mound Pillar lifts his high and deep down the left field line and it's gone off the pole a homer for Kevin Pillar and the Braves jump out in front of the top of the third Kevin Pillar has had a lot of success against left handed pitching this year gets a fastball down and in off the left side of that foul ball. But it works all the same and the Braves lead one to nothing. Harris reaches for it and singles to right over the head of Diaz soft fly ball broken bad and it's going to go out to blood day and he'll make the catch. That's the second out of the inning. That was weird how that bat splintered he's just left with a handle and there he goes and that is strike three called God Olson at the knees and he is going to look at the fact that this guy on the mound compares golf to his pitching taking a pitch by pitch as you do swing by swing. Good start here to the fourth for Elder as he gets set Brown for strikeouts now for Bryce as we lift it in the air to right field Ronald Acuna over to his left casually he's under it makes the catch two down here in the fourth inning left field Pillar started back comes in and makes the catch and now Pillar who accounts for the only run in this game the solo homer in the third it's this one in that same direction and it's going to bounce right up against the wall Pillar is going to have to hurry and he does slide in safely Homer and a double two for two again the two to bangs one high in the air towards right field Seth Brown is under it and deep right makes the catch tagging from second base now as Pillar the throw goes to third now it's cut off by the shortstop Allen and with two down Pillar is at third base insurance run 90 feet away and Michael Harris the batter and the 0 2 bouncy ball on the right side Diaz has it flipped it for us in time and so far so good for Sears he's looking for a way to unlock Elder tonight there is a chance to smash in the left and Pillar is going to go over back and it falls down Langler's thought about second when he put the brakes on Pillar with an accurate throw back to the infield and the pitch by Elder runner going it's a ground ball up the middle and in the center and pass the shortstop Garcia and Langler is who was running winds up at third and the A's have runners at the corners and the A's have got something going runners at the corners for Esther Ruiz and a swing on a ground ball to the hole and throw into left for a base hit scoring is Langler's Esther Ruiz has a knock for coming through in the clutch ties the game at one one in the bottom of the fifth one to ground ball to second Ozzie secures it spins and throws a second for one RC and a first double play for six three on the twin killer and a big one for the Braves and a big one for Elder J.P. Sears a chance here to go toe to toe with the ERA leader from the National League and Bryce Elder to to Acuna and trouble hit but bride right in front of it will go across the diamond and there's one away Matt was here in Oakland from twenty sixteen to twenty twenty one as a member of the A's the pitch and Matt it's a five ball right center a long run in the alley Brown is going to get there and Seth makes the catch for the second out the swing on a five ball to right Brown racing toward the line going out as notice that has a play foul territory near the bullpen makes the catch and what a job for serious six innings one hit and one run to a one one game into the bottom of the six there's Seth Brown one two from Bryce Elder got him down swinging Seth Brown and five strikeouts tonight now for Bryce trying to but that would came up and into Loriano and Elder still made the play Bryce Elder in command and solid through six and now he goes here to the bottom of the seven try to lay down a Baudelaire Riley safe at first perfectly placed but down the third base line perfect time for it grounded Orlando to Ozzie and that's all they'll get. But the lead runner is retired. This could be two on a second for one on the first double play beautiful one four three and a very swift bottom of the seven. Well for the first time this year Bryce Elder working into the eighth inning giving up just the one run and five hits and that is low and we'll see what happens next. And here comes Brian Snedeker. So another great outing for Bryce Elder AJ Mentor has what he wants and here's the one one pitch. Oh they got him. Olson fires down beautiful tag applied beautiful indeed. And they got Ruiz and the A's are going to ask for a replay on this one if it's overturned. It's major league leading steel number twenty eight for Ruiz and the 17th in the month of May. After review the ruling on the field stands the runner is out open will lose its challenge. Yes he paints the outside corner. Great pitch from AJ Mentor. The A's are done in the eight great pitching so far denied a one one game bottom of the ninth inning. And no point saving Roussell for next inning if we never get to it. Been outstanding here lately and the A's get the winning run on with nobody out to start the bottom of the ninth. So Brown walk Peterson Benning for Diaz struck out one to one one out bottom of the ninth. And that's not even close. A couple of walks in the inning from Iglesias and suddenly the winning run in scoring position. And here comes J.J. Bladet. He's going to have to hurry with that pitch clock. He was rushed. He throws the ball and they are loaded. Iglesias just has not looked comfortable with three walks here in the inning. And it's a ground ball toward third. Riley has got it bubbles and picks it up in Tulane. He is a wanted and the A's win it two to one in the bottom of the ninth. Well back to back victories for the green and gold for just the second time this season.
