is better right now than giants. dodgers baseball. yeah. i think all the. oracle park would agree. crowd today as the giants try to regain first place from the dodgers are going to pick it up in the bottom of the first brandon belt first pitch swinging against walker buehler and it pays off this one gone to the deepest part of the park. one. nothing giants belts 21st home run of the season. in the second steven duggar, his first game back from triple-a sacramento lines one past first base and into the right-field corner. brandon crawford and mike ya-strem-ski, both score other into 3rd with a triple. he's pumped rightfully so it's 3 to one giants. in the second pinch hitter darin ruf. now pinch hitters have been huge for the giants this season and ross gets the rbi single to make it. giants. they kept it going in the 3rd brandon crawford. lines one into the

right-field corner lamont wade junior. he's so good getting on base course here rbi double for craw. it's 5, one giants there. pretty much cruising now buehler's worst outing of the season. the cy young favorite gave up 6 runs in only 3 innings. but you look, there was drama in the 9th inning. of course there was pitching around a pool he's still playing and still playing. well gets all of this. jake, mcgee pitch. that is a 2 run bomb to left center. so the giants lead cut to 6, 4, by the way, to 678. purple holes. well, now mookie betts up. the potential tying run the he gets the called strike. that's doesn't like the call. it's a tough one. that's 2 outs next. batter justin turner still up in the tying run that him to pop one down the right-field line and mike yastremski right up against the netting makes a fantastic catch to end the game. the dodgers did

challenge it was a health is the dog didn't hit the net before. yes. >> made the cats great catch. but yes, the giants. when 6, 4, it was the first time they've even beaten buehler. hard to believe. >> on the other side, san francisco used 9 pitchers to get the win after the game belt duggar and gabe kepler talked about the huge win. >> it really, you know, so like a playoff atmosphere out there. and you know, obviously we've had some games like that before. but you know, it's crunch time and we we came in. >> to this series tied for the lead this might be the first time that we've ever done that in september. you know, just it was just a cool atmosphere and there's no doubt that the energy that the fans. but today really helped us pick it up. i was just really excited to be >> obviously that, you know, last few down and sacked us, you know, just prepare the same as far you know,

extremely fortunate to get an opportunity tonight to to to help this team win and a pretty big game sunday night. and this incredible robbery in. tonight guys came out on top. you just got look at it and say it's going to be tough because you know, we're running the ball game will have to go through our entire paguen. >> and there are a lot of things are going to have to go right for us and. so i think getting through that game and seen that, you know, were tough enough to to manage a situation like that. will give us confidence not just for the next time for the dodgers. whenever that time comes, but also for this colorado in chicago, a series of missed this road trip coming up. >> yeah. really big win. no matter which way you look at it there it is. that one all the way to the right on the second line. a thing of beauty right now. the giants are officially a game up on the dodgers. and remember, they don't play again during the

regular season. these 2 teams. so only chance for a set to gain any ground and head to head competition and just to show how much better this division is than the rest of the competition. the padres 14 games back here, but they're currently in second position in the nl wild card race. we've talked a lot this season about the giant struggles to hit with runners in scoring position. we saw that at times in this series through the first 2 games of this dodger series. they left 26 base runner stranded. now, according to team rankings, dot com there in the bottom 5 teams in the league with runners in scoring position. so it was pretty refreshing today to see the office. it happened 4 different players brandon crawford darin ruf steven tucker and curt casali in for buster posey. all drove in rb eyes with runners on base. and that's something this team is just going to have to keep up if they want to maintain any separation with the dodgers and be competitive in the postseason, which of course they do. all

right. time now to talk some a's. at one point this season seems like they were major contenders in the american league. but they're friends. some extended rough patches for oakland since mid august that stretch of 6 losses at the end of the month. and now a rough trip over the border trying to avoid a sweep in toronto today. former a star marcus davis. you see them there from missing about the good old days. today, not a good all day for the a's davis just called back up this week the game starling marte. hey - drives one deep to left center. randal grichuk makes a great diving. catch rolling into the wall. there dropped part a of extra bases on to the second inning. lourdes gurriel junior drives one the opposite chad pender get right to make his own catch against the wall. but back to says off as and it's a 2 run double for burial that made it 2. nothing jay-z go to the top of the 3rd now semi n. oh, boy. he gets

the best of his old teammates again. this is a solo shot to left his 35th home run of the season. always hard to watch for nothing. jay-z still when she was on. oakland's team's 3rd cole irvin hangs out all 100 kirk that's gone for a three-run home run. it 7. nothing jay-z. and gave up 7 runs over only 2 and a 3rd innings yanks. robbie ray meanwhile, had such problems for the jays. he didn't give up a hit until the 5th inning and struck out 10 days over 6, 2, 3rd innings. pretty good outing for him and oakland only managed 2 hits all game long. so the bluejays really run away with this 1, 8 nothing. they sweep days and what was a pretty devastating series for oakland. but after the game that happened, bob melvin said, hey, don't give up on us yet. >> i think we've got to just have a short memory on that one. you know, we've been a swing the as a group really

putting up a lot of runs. and you know, we just haven't been able to find a way to win some of these ball games. you know, we're still in the high. obviously we've been on a skit lee and that's that's not good. bye. i think that there's some positives we can take away. we've been swinging the bats. well, playing good defense. the pitching. i know. pitching has been something that's been solid for us all season. so, you know, we we're a team. we win as a team. we lose as a team. and i know we're going to be able to tighten everything up and, you know, we're going to play a lot of meaningful baseball down the stretch. you know what i think are the best part of our season yet to come. i really do. i think we're going to we're going to get home. we're going to play or best stretch of baseball. >> and we're going to get get on a run for the season's over and then we have 2 teams that we need to be there at the end. i think our best baseball yet to come. >> okay. hope you're right. well, let's take a look at the american league wild-card standings used to seeing the a's near the top of that race. but now they've slipped to 5th 4 games back of the red sox

for the second wild-card spot. the mariners and blue,jays by percentage points, passing them today. and as far as west oakland remains 5 games behind the astro's. but the mariners slide into second with their win today. the a's now slipping into 3rd place in that division. >> for tonight. live ksat, you're timers. mark your calendars, whatever you got to do today is the last sunday of the year. that won't have nfl football. we're going to talk some niners coming up. allen stiles joins the show for our bay area baseball bat. he's going to help us make sense of everything that happened this weekend for both teams. we want to see in the days and weeks to come. that's next.

las vegas. the raiders were extremely disappointed. but how last season finished particularly from a defensive perspective. so they made a lot of changes in the offseason. new defensive coordinator and gus bradley some personnel upgrades guy's like yeah, nick nick and casey hayward and then also on offense. they're hoping for another great year from derek carr and the variety of skill players he has at his disposal. here's jon gruden. >> i feel pretty good and we obviously have a long way to go. a lot to prove a lot of players didn't play much at all. the pre season. we practice hard. we practice smart. we have a lot of reps. so i do like to the nucleus of our team. we have a lot of guys like football that are talented and young. and we've got some good veteran leadership. but we have a lot to prove. >> looking forward to seeing them do it kicking these things off this season in vegas against lamar jackson and the ravens and sore
