[Music] toward that hamstring running sprints back in march jonathan india tears into the first pitch he launches into left field and the cincinnati reds one pitch in lead one to nothing what a great game plan for jonathan india knowing a guy just coming off the injured list hasn't pitched all year long he's going to try to get ahead with a fastball and i mean it was down and in the zone and bye bye baseball carlos martinez ready to work the 29 year old from the dominican republic to face jack peterson and the first pitch is drilled into the air out towards right center field that's well struck on its way and gone jack peterson a lead off homer first pitch of the game his second of the year and the cubs jump out one-nothing mr mustache with the home run but he hasn't been getting any lift it's been a lot of line drives a lot of hard ground balls and sooner or later you knew the power is going to come because that's what he has done throughout his big league career light roof open beautiful evening in houston as willie swings at the first pitch and it's a fast ball and it is hammered to right field gone one pitch in willie calhoun chases a pitch above the zone and just like that the rangers take a one-nothing lead fourth home run of the season 10th rbi for willie calhoun as he sets the tone merv if i heard you correctly you were talking about the lefties doing damage tonight not a customary pitch that you swing at first pitch of the game it looked up and out of the strike zone but when you're ready to hit you're ready to hit and willie calhoun has been hot lately why not start the game with the bang one nothing rangers that is willie second first pitch home run of the season underway in atlanta and cutch on a first pitch out to center field it's chasing christian mache he reaches it and for the second straight sunday andrew mccutchen has led off the ball game with a dinger well on cue partner he is hot as you said he's raised his batting average 70 points in the last 10 games just a fastball 95 miles an hour getting me over getting me over indeed over the left center field wall mccutchen's been hot he's feeling it first pitch is belted by acuna deep left field one pitch it's one nothing [Applause] that didn't take long at all acuna is on the board and maybe that's going to break things open for the braves offense a leadoff home run for acuna the 20th of his young big league career well i think 10 minutes ago partner i just looked at you and said i think cocoon is going deep today i didn't think it was going to be first pitch of the game blazing fastball great curveball five pitch mix this guy's the full deal here and there's a first pitch ambushed by jesse winker and he rocks it to right for another home run the longest hitting streak in baseball continues on the very first pitch big flies in three straight games one nothing rinse boy locked in and letting the bat head do the talking that's what jesse winker's been doing that's a get ahead fastball there by walker bueller i mean i'm going to test you with the heater see if you're ready or not winker is ready he comes out of that on deck circle with a game plan tanner houck faces tim anderson and we are ready for the first pitch of baseball today from fenway and tim swings to fly it to right center hernandez watches it go tim anderson's first home run ever came at fenway and now on the first pitch he's got a one-nothing sox lead today well i think our socks are going to be looking away against houck and tim anderson got a first ball fastball took it the other way and our ford home run replay this is on the outer third one to nothing the good sox over the bad sox that's a nice way to start it into the bullpen off we go with a high drive to left center field milky blast right away [Applause] how about that for breathing life into him first pitch of the game he homers [Music] [Applause] well joe i really appreciate mookie betts listening to us when we said let's be ready to hit on that very first pitch but uh congratulations to pat haven smith looking to get him started on the right note and there it goes pavon smith diamondback strike first [Applause] he tripled in game one he homers to start game two lift on left get it right now so much for that wow jose altuve to start things off for the astros the first pitch of the ball game and altuve lifts it in the air pretty deep to left pender is going back at the wall looking up see you later a first pitch lead off homer for jose altuve his second lead off homer this year one-nothing astros well i don't i don't think frankie montos had any idea that altuve would swing at the first pitch if he threw the break-in pitch so he threw the slider and now tubey was sitting on it and he blasted it to left field that's how you start a game altuve's fifth home run of the year and that's also his 16th career leadoff homer so the astros off to a great start thanks to their all-star second baseman oakland 53-41 first ball hit high in the air deep right center field goodbye bradley zimmer on the first pitch of the game rocks it out of here and the indians take a one-nothing lead his second home run of the year both coming in this series how about that you know he normally goes up there and will take the first pitch or take the fastball but he didn't spot bassett a thing look at his teammates yeah patrick sandoval's first pitch is drilled to deep left field back goes lagarres it is go on to the bullpen one pitch one sing swing one nothing cleveland as cesar hernandez has his fourth home run of the year you know you go back to that seattle series he was getting after pitches early jumping on a lot of first pitches and he got that one and got all of it i think he had a pretty good feeling that he was going to throw a fastball on the first pitch and you couldn't start the game any better 94 mile an hour down the middle and it is going to get out in a hurry that a way to start the game right there wow one swing one run okay now let's go to work boys beautiful he's a guy that the phillies really should lunch up on handful of the phillies hitters have faced them and segora goes right after him on the first pitch and gives the phil's a one-nothing lead a little foreshadowing by reuben segura's home run is his fifth he's now reached safely in 37 of his last 40 starts and the phillies jump out to a one-nothing lead yeah tom gene segura did not waste any time and he smokes this four scene fastball that is right down the middle again you know what joharsky just doesn't have great stuff it's probably a 91 to 93 mile an hour fastball he got a fourth seamer and gene segura did not miss it great to get this game going with a leadoff dinger
