A's vs. Angels Game Highlights (6/9/25) | MLB Highlights

Who's a Kikuchi. This man has been outstanding right here at the big a one and one but a one point three three era in five starts. Is strike three on a check swing. He got fortunate enough to get a chase out of the zone on that one there too after Butler not going after out of the zone. Jacob Wilson it's a bouncer in the hole. Neto's going to have to hurry this throw across and he gets it there to retire Wilson. That ball's driven out toward left center field as Joe Adele moves back for it has just left enough room on the track to put it away. You say Kikuchi Rosenthal one two three in the top of the third. Once again it is going to be Grant Holman essentially caddying if you will for Jeffrey Springs second time around one pitch one out. And here is Shana well stepping up to the plate. This one to center field Denzel Clark on the move back after he stepped up to the leagues where he wins the this week. You go ahead and book it. I've heard the list. I've seen the list of the greatest catches you're ever going to see in your life. If you don't have room for this one on your list we're watching two different sports. I mean Denzel Clark climbs the ladder and then hangs out. You want to talk about playing above the rim folks. This ball is out of the ballpark by five six feet. And Denzel says Nay Nay almost feel like you'd need a few minutes just to recollect yourself. Well look like he saw a ghost got to feel his position and he does show up in the Kikuchi to retire Soderstrom fly ball to center field struck pretty well but Joe Adel has the beat waves Taylor away and makes the catch shy of the white track to pop up off the bat of Kurtz Taylor Ward is in for it and he's there to make the catch one two three and the second for Kikuchi Jeffrey Springs on the bump ready to roll. Turn it over to the left hander. Now the two to pitch is swung on and missed. So Ward case that's number one that'll bring up Garneau high pitch in a line drive to center field. Of course Denzel Clark is there to make the catch in very easy fashion and the change up is Wade dead in spring sales through one two three. Billy McGyver getting the start behind the plate for the A's today. Swing and a miss strike three upstairs with that slider second strikeout for Kikuchi. That's in there for strike three. You say Kikuchi is retired nine in a row three strikeouts in the first three innings. So things about as quiet as they can be right now. It's a punt from King. It springs off the mound and he first down the right field line will go to second base. The throw coming in from Butler that one goes toward the left field line. But Rooker is there to back it up. Imagine you're going to get a hit in any one roller to the left side. It's knocked down by Muncie but Newman safe at first. The Angels have runners on first and second. And it's been a problem for when you look at the athletics this whole season long and their defense has been a tough thing. Forty third ever possibly after that one. So Angels can they take advantage of the mistakes that the A's have made so far. Now Neto Kingrey scores easily and the Angels have a one nothing lead. That baseball was smashed by Neto one hundred and seven off the bat. Zach Neto what a swing that was crushed. Shana well it was robbed by Clark's incredible catch in the first inning. And he likes this one right center field a base hit. Newman heads for the plate. Clark bumbles the ball down Neto on the third base. Shana well will stay at first. The Angels up by two good swing again by Shana well thought he had his 20th RBI earlier picks it up here. Nice pitch to hit for him shortened up new series here for Trout. Bring that runner home third at the very least at ground ball base hit to left that scores Neto Shana well the second three nothing Angels see that Trout now going to his twenty fourth RBI ten straight retired by Kikuchi now in the game. And retires Jacob Wilson nice play and Wilson again. You just have to be all over to feel with him. He's right back up the middle. You have to feel your position bouncing ball Kikuchi. Rangers for that one says infielders take a break. Look at Neto look it up. Hello. Oh and one is the gap. Angels batting bottom of the fourth up three to nothing to center field for Chris Taylor and a diving catch from Denzel. See that right there. That's the reaction. That's the reaction you expect. Denzel knows that this is something that he has come to expect of himself. He knows that folks that are familiar with his game almost expect this type of effort night in and night out from Denzel. Good start to the month of June for Joe Adel is tied with Cal Raleigh for the most home runs in the A.L. in June. Now Joe Adel sends one out to left. It's Rooker back for it. He's at the wall. It is got a homer real estate in Adele as his fifth home run in June. Another slider hit out by Joe Adel showing the power and says hello Max Muncy batting light out to Joe Adel his first time up. And that one's going to get through into left field. The line drive hit for Max Muncy and that is the first hit of the game to break it up for Kikuchi is in there for strike three Rosen on a ninety five hour fastball looking slider got the express. There's a bouncing ball to the left side Newman cut it cuts it off now stumbles and throws and he still gets the runner at first. I think they'll check that just to make sure Sean O'Hara kept his foot on the base but a much easier play for Neto Newman was fortunate he was able to get that throw off and the inning is over McIver out batting so far for Kikuchi another good one here at Angel Stadium. My ball to center Joe Adel sizes it up and makes the catch first time this year that Kikuchi has recorded an out in the seventh inning. So there's drama to one hopper to first shot. Well we'll take this down on his curveball get another out. That's two outs this inning on his curveball giving him that six the game ball hammered toward left center Taylor Ward backs up and makes the catch seven shut out innings from you say Kikuchi tonight. This might be a one batter one out at a time situation here for Kikuchi if he retires Kurtz maybe he'll face the next guy and it's for strike three. That's going to be it. What a performance by you say Kikuchi domination a big hand in coming for you say Kikuchi and his best outing as an angel here tonight. So one out single only the second A's hit in the ballgame. J.J. with Day is going to pinch in J.J. to center field while going back to Adele leaping up. It's a ground ball up the middle diving stop Kingrey. Flipped a second forty out. What a play by Kingrey on that one. You're not going to turn double a double play against Butler anyhow. But you just get that out. The lead runner had a full extension on the dive and flips it quickly. Bouncer to third should do it. Newman near the bag throws it across in time. Great job by Zephyr Dungo. Rock Chalk big insurance run in scoring position now with nobody out. Set to left for Shumway. And I will go to third runners on the corners. Nobody out. Mike Trout on the anniversary of his draft day an RBI single and he'll have a chance here to do more damage. There's a lot of left center field. Days after in the gap warning track he makes the catch. Deno tags and scores RBI for Trout his second tonight it's five to two. Does have a pad on that left hand. Ninety five mile an hour fastball to. So here's Joe Adele. That's with runners everywhere. My base hit right fielder and Joe Adele with Angel's lead seven to two and Travis Darnell with a belly flop at home. Yeah. Everyone's laughing. I'm going to give him a I'll give him a nine on a scale one to ten on that belly flop. Just looking for base runners at this point and try to keep the line moving. Bring up Max Muncy this one into right field with some carry going back in our a two run shot makes it seven to four two outs in the Jensen coming on bouncing ball to short Zach Neto has that say goodnight to the A's the angels behind you say Kikuchi tonight and some power as well when it's seven to four.
