And the show takes us to lovely resplendent Southern California, the big A, the home of the Angels. Welcome to Sunday Night Baseball on NBC presented by Capital One. If there's a climate you want to be in, it's this one. And if there's a division you want to be in, it's this one. him for the first time. What's the profile? What are we watching tonight? Uh, he's a bat-to-ball guy. Like he can spray the ball all around. Like the power hasn't quite shown up yet. He will mix in a homer here or there, but he pretty much stays on everything.
Like he did there, he'll level it for center field. That was a running grab by Mike Trout rejuvenated in center this year for out number two. Well, number one to Burger who about a quarter of the baseballs he puts in play go to left field in the air. He is following the sort of trail mix, right, that you put down as you look for the way He did to left center. It's gone. Jake Burger goes yard to crack the scoring here on Sunday night. It's one nothing. That's what he does. I just happen to wear my sunglasses at night. You know why? Great. Three two and he missed ball four. The first base runner for the Angels in the game is a walk that comes after a ball and two strikes
broken bat flare right side and through. It's a base hit. Rivero scrambles home and we are tied. Firewood and an RBI for Trout. Garden of Eden is taking over the city. High fly ball right field from Adele to the warning track and that's it. Graham today, we could get you into the upper 90s like with the sink that you had. Towards second base and a jumping play by Fosky who runs it down and snares it. He's over it. It's three and two. We'll see if he comes up to the plate.
Frazier in the air for right center field. That's a long way to go and eventually that ball ends up in the glove of Haggerty who has to stabilize himself in the alley. What a phenomenal effort to haul in the final out. But I'll tell you what, these two pitchers have incredible feel for their off-speed and breaking balls today. I don't know if it's the shadows, but I feel like once they saw a little success with them, they've leaned into them a little harder and they started really executing those two strike pitches down below the zone. Adam, you're exactly right. When you know that as the pitcher, you have that feel and you know it's difficult to read as a hitter, you're going to stick with that.
One, two. Nettles got a battle and a swing and a miss. He has seen a wheelbarrow full of curveballs in this game. Six strikeouts for Gore. The 11-time All-Star, nine-time Silver Slugger swings through a curveball. There it was to put him away. It's located like that, it's pretty darn effective. I mean, perfectly on the inside corner running in on the hands. It's a thing of beauty. End of the bat shot on the slider. You have seen that exact sequence from Throws it about a third of the time.
Yeah, Laura and Brian are living it right now. Yes. Three and two. That ball is hit in the air right center field. That's down. It's a base hit for Meckler. Peraza awaits stop sign at third. Runners at first and third. Meckler puts the lead run at third base in the seventh. On the ground right at third. It's Duran to first. Inning over. Reed Detmers was smoking early, Gooby. Yeah, I mean his fastball was really firm. You go back to the fifth inning you can round that off to about 96 mph. It went down just slightly though. You know, that last inning on in the fifth inning at 93.9 but still when you go back to his last
start where he had 5.0 shots in the first two innings, it dropped down dramatically more so to 91 mph. I still think where he's at right now, he's saving that 95-96 when he needs it. He's realizing that he can get some outs. He can get ahead with his fastball but when he needs that firm 95-96 it's still in the tank for him. Reid Detmers has retired 18 in a row. Statcast powered by Google Cloud has him four short of his career high in swings and misses which he did against the Rangers the last day of July four years ago. 20 swing and misses. I mean that's amazing. Make it 21. The scoreboard is getting a workout.
Wait, there's more. Yes. 1-2 for Duran. Swing and a miss. He blitzed him with a fastball away and a new career high. 13 strikeouts for Detmers. In a perfect spot too with the fastball. He went down He went the out off the outside corner after he had him looking for that curveball or slider. His ERA is like.73. Check swing. Strike three. That's 14 for Detmers. That one on a changeup. This is a big pitch right now though cuz the guy on deck has had some good success against the Angels. On the ground second base. Frazier ends the inning. 21 straight retired. The
most in baseball this year. Left side base hit. There's that contact you're talking about. Osuna is on. On two and one to Foskyu. It's to shortstop. It's Neto diving on it, crawling into a throw, and that pulls Grissom off the bag. Down though. Three and two. He did, he missed. It's ball four. That was the idea, but the bases are loaded for Jake Burger. The two-two. It's clipped in the glove, strike three. That's the one you're talking about, Adam. is an Angel approach. Line drive, left side. It was a sweeper.
It's a base hit. Soler is on the prospective winning run. Broken bat, bouncer, second base, right at the bag. Foskyu, and it bounces away slightly. HERE COMES WALTON TO SCORE! THE ANGELS walk it off on a Sunday night pinball machine. What did you say about how this game was going to end, Jason? Of course. Something bizarre takes us to the finish line. Oswald Peraza, this Angels team completing a sweep of the Rangers for the first time since 2022. What is it about you guys that dug in this weekend to complete the sweep? Yeah, I mean,
wow, this is amazing, you know. I needed a win, I needed a sweep, and yeah, I'm happy for that. Last night, Mike Trout said to this crowd, "You live for the bright lights." What is it that you relish about them? No, I mean, you know, well, Mike Trout for me, you know, is superstar. I'm happy for that. Hey. A little bath. Yeah. I feel good, I feel good. I'm happy for that. I'm happy for that win for the fan and yeah, keep working. That's it. Bye.
Keep working. This team, the vibe in the clubhouse, how would you speak to the way you guys are staying with the fight through the tough times? Yeah, I mean, you know, it's like I feel like family. This group is amazing, so special. And yeah, keep working. I want to, you know, uh playoff. Yeah, that's the mentality. And yeah, it's you know, my trial in the team is Yeah, for me it's amazing. How's the Gatorade bath feel on a Sunday night? Tell me. How's that bath feel on a Sunday night? Beautiful, beautiful. Oswaldo, congratulations. thank you.
