May 18th MLB (Day Games) Round Up
What Happened
The New York Yankees host the Tampa Bay Rays in a close game at Yankee Stadium. Rays pitcher Blake Snell has a strong outing, striking out Yankees outfielder Aaron Hicks in his first game back from the injured list. However, Snell is hit by a pitch on the foot but does not get checked by the umpires, leading to him striking out on the next pitch. Yankees catcher Gary Sanchez struggles, striking out four times and grounding into a game-ending double play. The only Yankees run comes on a wild pitch by Snell. Rays catcher Travis d'Arnaud, their fifth catcher of the season, has trouble getting on the same page with Snell as the Rays' catchers have dealt with multiple injuries. Yankees second baseman DJ LeMahieu makes a great defensive play up the middle. Rays pitcher Tyler Glasnow leaves the game after being hit by a comebacker, but x-rays show it's just a contusion. Rays outfielder Austin Meadows hits a go-ahead home run in the 11th inning to give Tampa Bay the win. In the New York Mets-Miami Marlins game, Marlins outfielder Harold Ramirez records his first career home run to open the scoring. Marlins pitcher Pablo Lopez throws seven scoreless innings, leading Miami to their third straight win. Mets manager Mickey Callaway faces questions about his job security after the loss. The Cincinnati Reds defeat the Los Angeles Dodgers 4-0 behind a strong outing from pitcher Tyler Miley, who earns his first win of the season. Dodgers pitcher Walker Buehler pitches well but is hurt by some poor defense behind him, leading to unearned runs. In the Detroit Tigers-Oakland Athletics game, Tigers pitcher Spencer Turnbull has a solid outing, inducing weak contact. A's outfielder Chad Pinder and first baseman Seth Brown both hit home runs to provide the offense for Oakland. The Baltimore Orioles fall to the Cleveland Indians 5-1, with Orioles pitcher John Means struggling and Indians pitcher Adam Plutko tossing six innings of one-hit ball. Indians outfielder Oscar Mercado records his first major league hit. Finally, Philadelphia Phillies slugger Bryce Harper crushes a mammoth home run over the center field batter's eye, while Phillies pitcher Aaron Nola strikes out 12 batters in a dominant outing.

Click timestamps to jump to that momentlittle MLB roundup of the day games here
we had to knock over Snell in the Bronx
g-man sure he got hit by that pitch in
the foot repaint replay clearly shows it
the Rays did not challenge it so he
strikes out on the next pitch I don't
know what you're doing raised I think
they said the headset was broken Snell
was really good Aaron Hicks is back from
the injury list and he gets his first
hit of 2019 but snow is pretty good Gary
Sanchez had a rough day striking out
four times and hitting into a game
ending double play the only run the
Yankees would score was beyond this wild
pitch the Rays are on their fifth
catcher of the season the three in their
system all got hurt they trade up for
Travis d'Arnaud and now they trade it
for Erick rats tough job for a pitcher
and catcher to get on the same page when
you're doing that all time DJ LeMahieu
gets a hit up the middle just joking
what a play there Snell loves it Tanaka
with a kick save and a beauty here to
get the last out there would have been
the tying run scoring on a base hit up
the middle it did take him out of the
game though the x-rays came back
negative just a contusion Tommy Kane has
been phenomenal all year but in the top
of the seventh he gives up a solo shot
to low to tie the game this game when
extras and in the top of the that was a
seventh announced the top of the 11th
and meadows takes acid deep
that would win it let's go to the Mets
and the Marlins and John birdy opens the
game up with a solo home run
John birdy never heard of you first
homer of his congruent career calm Gretz
and then anderson hits a little RBI
single here and guess whose scores it's
birdie now I know yeah this is the third
time this season the Marlins have won
two games in a row and it was Pablo
Lopez that led him there seven teams
pitched zero and runs if they win
tomorrow will be the first time all
season they won three games in a row
that's crazy
Mickey Callaway is on the hot seat all
the postgame in Reiser like hey do you
think your managers you can get fired
and they're like I don't know man that's
a [ __ ] up question to ask me how do
you want me to answer that no we
shouldn't get fired okay well moving on
we have the Reds beating the Dodgers for
nothing Tyler Miley got his first win of
the season after tossing six scoreless
innings he looked pretty good he's
pitched decently not amazing but he just
could never get the win he sits down a
lot of them that's the picture right
there so no one cares were there you
know Taylor get out of here Walker
Buehler puts pretty pitched pretty well
on the other side of things he did open
up the game second inning solo shot from
Winker
and then he had some bad defense behind
him watch this we got Joey
we got vato just scooting the ball to
short Seager takes it dumps it in the
right field that's gonna score one run
and allow the other two to get into
scoring position which allows Puig to
float one in the air and I have no idea
I forget this guy's last name but Alex
the centerfielder just kind of stops
doesn't even think about catching it
lets it drop two more unearned runs
score and Walker Bueller's like dude why
did you not even try to run out I think
you may have been able to just sprint
and get there he looks at him he goes
wide why are you doing moving on ace
Tigers mention the Deuter where's the
high socks he got the rally finger
mustache you got the old wind up in the
12 to 6 curve ball old school guy he
pitched pretty well on his second start
of the season Hundley homers right here
to right and then later on in the game
in the seventh Pinder homered to give
them a 4 to 1 lead Jackson Pro far had
an RBI double in this game earlier on
and then he made a nice scrap here to
rob McGee cabs of a hit good job jerk
encouragement Pro far the only way the
Tigers scored was on a wild pitch and
that doesn't even mean
dick Tigers don't celebrate that don't
celebrate that Baltimore collected their
30th loss of the year John means has a
nasty changeup but he plays for the
Orioles so we didn't have the best of
outings Jordan Ludlow got him there for
a 2-run shot in the beginning of the
game and then this kid Oscar Mercado got
his first MLB hit good for you Oscar
Adam putco Adam putco with six innings
of one-hit ball on his first start of
2019
good job by putco good job by Ludlow
good job this was his only fault he
tried to will the ball but romancing he
says I'll just take the homer since I'm
actually good and I'm stuck on this bad
team got to get what's mine it's gone -
Aaron Noah first the rock he's just
striking out everybody returns to form
12 strikeouts a little bat toss there
backdoor slider to Murphy right there
like that and we got a curveball strike
three
curveball strike three curveball see you
later what's next what's coming
curveball curve gotcha curve gotcha
fastball just got to mix it up every now
and then I appreciate another nice bat
toss here we go
Bryce Harper absolutely slaughtered this
ball over the batter's eye on to South
10 Street bounced into the back of a
pickup truck headed straight to Pat's or
Geno's whichever one you prefer that
makes you like that terrible joke more
that's where it well let's see another
replay of that whoa um um oh they did
also score on a wild pitch because
catching play in the MLB is at an
all-time low because dudes are throwing
nasty [ __ ] curveballs
alright this play at the plate is kind
of funny cuz dude you're not athletic
enough to do that come on let's move on
to Toronto and the Sox Laurie Garcia a
home run in the first to start it off
and then they scored some more runs look
at this a Nucky knuckle baller a lefty
knuckle baller Ryan fire band pitching
for the Rays oh the ball boy about to
touch that didn't touch it cause it was
in fair play let's put the camera on him
and embarrass him ok back to the story
Ryan fire ring he made his debut in 2006
with the Seattle Mariners pitch for them
for 3 years didn't play in baseball
until 2014 when he came back with the
Texas then he went to Korea and he
learned to knuckleball a lofty
knuckleballer in the league whoa he got
lit up four runs four innings then the
skies lit up and they said I hate you
alfalfa and it just poured down McKinney
had to battle through this at-bat struck
him out game over five innings and then
that is the end of this video and I
probably won't do one of these ever
again cuz it was so much work but thank
you for watching
