Cardinals vs. Red Sox Game 1 Highlights (4/6/25) | MLB Highlights

Red Sox trying to sneak in to today against the St. Louis Cardinals weather is permitting we're about to get underway later on tonight seven o'clock on ESPN Game 2. Here comes Sean Newcomb out of the home first base dugout. What a moment this must be for him he was expecting to pitch tonight on national TV on Sunday Night Baseball against the St. Louis Cardinals on kind of a cool gray day. Why not. No sleeves. New fire takes a walk for the sixth time adding to his 514 on base percentage. Two bounding ball there's Hamilton the story got one on the first double play. So already four of those will Sean Newcomb has been on the mound swing and a miss struck him out. Yes good for Harris down Hacken and Newcomb faces only three men. Andre Pallante was terrific against the twins Parker. Let's see if he can go two for two an excellent starts to start the season. Well Andre Pallante I mean really just doing a nice job against both righties and lefties as we talked about a minute ago keeps his defense on his toes. That's it to third. Nice pick by Aronado and he'll throw a strike for out number one Duran retired Pallante has his first round ball up Devers batting one sixty seven strike out troubles early but he's heated up. This one's smoke torch short and Mason win quickly for the second out three and two for Bregman in the dirt. Bregman takes a walk and Casas will come to bat with two outs here in that and a swing and a miss. So Pallante works overtime to ground outs one strikeout Nolan Aronado. His plan of attack is today. Nice play by Hamilton to steal one. We rave about his range at second base. He shows it off right there. Number one he's so quick really good first step and a base hit to left first hit of the game for the Cardinals. Luke and Baker on an old to count got a cookie and didn't miss it. And Jordan Walker is taking his time coming to the plate drives that one to right. That's going to get down for a base hit. Baker lumbers to second he'll stop there and the Cardinals have a one out rally here in the top of the second Baker and Walker back to back singles swung on and missed a fastball that's not by him and down he goes for strike three two down second strikeout for Sean today inside ball for the bases are loaded for Mason Wynn to. Struck him out into a slider at eighty two and the Cardinals leave him loaded but a four pitch walk and the bases are loaded for David Hamilton. Now the Red Sox are set up for a big are they ever Ricky and in a ballpark like this the game can get away in one inning like it did on Friday. He got a big strikeout for Pallante and now the catcher is up with the harder slider right under the zone. Perfect pitch ground ball to third. Aronado's coming home and the stretch out by Herrera. They get the force. He held the plate two outs. So story is forced bases loaded but now they're two out. Oh Jaron Duran the batter he bounced out to third his first time up bouncing ball right to short and Pallante gets out of it. He is fired up and like Houdini he got out of it. Way to go Andre Pallante and now a one out walk to Herrera here in the third inning. Well this is where my old buddy Ramone Avila. So the Phillies used to say someone's got to pay and maybe Wilson Contreras will be the pay payee that is just inside and called a strike and delayed reaction from Maliki Moore. He punches him out and they're two away. Here we go early in this game. This is kind of a key spot for Aronado who lined out to the second baseman hammer toward third and down the line that's headed for the corner Herrera around second on his way to third. The throw will come into second. It's a long single for Aronado and the Cardinals have him at the corners with two outs popped up sky high and foul ground. Here comes Kassas near the boxes backs up and he's got it. Newcomb again tiptoeing on that line but he makes a big pitch. Cardinals make a defensive change here. Pedro Páez has entered the game behind the plate as the inning wrapped up. We went to break Yvonne Herrera had to be helped off the field. Yeah I don't want to speculate as to what it was but obviously not good as you're seeing them gingerly with that left leg. I really hope that nothing too serious for Herrera. But this puts you in a tough spot here with the doubleheader especially Victor Scott will bat now with one out that slide toward left that is going to hit high off the monster. Walker's got a hustle to second and he's going to barely beat the play. That's a base hit for Victor the other way. First and second one out for Mason Wynn is on the ground right side. That's through from base here comes Walker around third. Ref Snyder's throw is on target but late ball pops away. Newcomb has to back it up and Wynn ends up at second. It's a one nothing Cardinals lead from Mason Wynn who gets his second hit with runners in scoring position on the young season. Good piece of hitting sneaks it through the right side. This is a backdoor cutter. Very good base running for Mason Wynn to take second. But that is walk number three for Palante and it brings in Christian Campbell. Runner goes and got a pick. Ref Snyder will he get in his throw away in the left field. He'll hold it second. They had a chance to cut him down. The Red Sox caught a break and they have the tying run at second. So a stolen base for Ref Snyder his second and David Hamilton will bat one to turn the whole of the base. Ref Snyder rounding Walker firing home the run is in and we're tied one one Hamilton snapping that over twelve in style and stolen base proved to be very big and it's a one one game. That's easy enough for Ref Snyder to score Palante's breaking balls have all been in the dirt. That one hangs in the zone. David Hamilton does his job Baker single then was left on some of the Cardinals left the bases loaded in the second down he goes swinging 92 mile an hour fastball number two and here comes Cora. That's a nice job by Sean. A lot of base runners out there but he never gave in. You'd expect the hometown kid get a nice hand as he comes off the mound here. It's another day for Rafi Devers to continue a bit of a hot streak. We know how the season started in the first five. You know he didn't exactly come out of camp ready to go here swinging the bat but the last three or four games he's looked a lot better. That was a bullet back to second base to J.C. and all the way back to first Mason win two outs for Pedro Pace driven toward right. That's down the line that's going to be good that'll bounce up against the fence and that will ricochet into the seats that will tie the game. That's a bad break for the Cardinals. The go ahead run is Victor Scott at second win at first two outs and here is Pedro Pace coming up swing and a try. That's hammered toward left Durant back that's high off the monster two runs are going to score. Pace on his way to second he's done it again. The Cardinals lead it four to two. How about Pedro Pace. Here comes Ryan Helmsley who in some ways is the best relief pitcher in all of baseball. The Red Sox have the tying runs on base. Helmsley can't throw a strike. So now one out and here's Romi Helmsley fly ball left field. That one hitting story is in a Bregman down to third and a second Romi Gonzalez a one run game. Hunter takes ball for inside and they are loaded for Durant. He did swing the best two outs. They're down to their last out with Devers coming up. Another miss would tie the game three and two to Devers a lead at every base and will be off with a pitch. Here it is. Devers takes ball for we are tied in the night. What a great plate appearance. Told you he was due to give up a run. Just put it in existence. Will your Bray who coming up in a big spot just so calm he walked against Helmsley in the night. The chance to be the hero here. Fly ball left field score the Red Sox walk it off. They're in ten. What a cut today.
