stokes now will work to wieters, andino and roberts. matt wieters, his first major league home run second inning, two rbi's. he's walked and flied to center field. wieters takes that one to center field as well. that one got in on the hands. >> jim: the line drive to center, then got him jammed a little bit. the guy you said may even hit .400, he just did the same. he just popped up to center field. wieters and mauer. stokes actually quite a story. tommy john back in 2003. they picked him up for cash consideration. with an e.r.a. over 7 runs a game for tampa bay. before they started winning. that was back in 2007. last year as we look at the orioles closer george sherrill getting ready to protect this two-run lead, then last year stokes pitched down at their triple-a affiliate, and had a terrific year. >> gary: he earned himself a spot in this bullpen. andino has had an 0 for 3 in the ballgame. batting at .241 now in the ballgame. that was big home run by huff. that one shot up the middle, andino is on. he's got a one out single here in

robert andino. he came up with the marlins and he played shortstop a lot in 2005, and jorge cantu giving him the business. but once they got hanley ramirez, his shortstop days were over. gip hanley ramirez on the mound. the shortstop signaled to the bench for the trainer to come out and the marlins' trainer and manager fredi gonzalez are coming out to check on nunez. >> buck: this is not a good sign anytime you bring the trainer with you and nunez is obviously feeling some discomfort. he is not sure where it is, obviously, but fredi gonzalez is going to take him out of the game. >> jim: so nunez will leave. he has faced two batters. the home run by wieters and a line drive single by robert andino. and a pitching change here because of injury in the eighth inning so wieters gets it started, the orioles batting in the eighth.

and glove by andino, and nicely done. out at first base, salazar tested on his footwork. >> buck: we've seen robert andino make some impressive defensive plays in this series. this is a bullet, popped to his feet and throw it's to the outside of the bag. salazar maintained contact for the out. andino made a couple of great double plays here a couple of nights ago. that was aspects ac -- a spectacular play right there. >> jim: and giambi batting. there is a strike. giambi walked with the bases loaded to drive in a run. ]ao 38 years old. >> buck: he came up and really just established himself here with the oakland athletics, played his way into that free agent contract with the yankees as jim mentioned. and he's a guys that all been characterized as an athletic. >> jim: a high popup into shallow centerfield. jones takes charge and adams gets there and has it. two men down. the high sky and the rough sun, jones taking charge and he caught that ball side ways to get a better look at the sky and the baseball. >> buck: and we'd

then he gets andino out. until this inning he was just kind of doing what he's been doing all month. >> rob: joe shaved the beard after that home run to huff. he's now clean-shaven. >> jim p.: i walked by him, didn't even recognize him. >> rob: he might have just done that in the 7th inning. but great get me over curveball right there. >> jim h.: wigginton at second with two down. huff line drive, there's base hit right center field. wigginton rounds third and will score easily. huff's looking for two. here's the throw. he is out at second base. >> jim p.: you could see that coming. did not pay attention to the scouting report. a no-no.  times may be tough today, but the things we all look forward to haven't changed. like owning a home. watching our children grow. and retiring with confidence. so whatever you're looking forward to, m&t bank is here to help you get there. m&t bank. understanding what's important.  >> jim h.: it's a 5-3 game. important out at second base recor

. >> buck: what a good pinch hitter sal la star has been with andino at first base. he'll come here and try to keep this rally going a lead-off home run, base hit, nobody out. salazar will pinch hit for felix pie who technically took over defensively in the second inning. >> jim: so salazar will bat and andino is on at first base and still nobody down. they had a five-run bottom of the seventh and the orioles are trying to get back in it here in the eighth. dan meyer was originally drafted by the braves and made his way to oakland as buck mentioned and the marlins got him on a waiver. and here is salazar, and he intakes high, 1-0. >> buck: oscar had a big at-bat sunday against cole hamels and that came as he pinch hit with robert andino at second base. he hit a ground ball to the right side to move the base runner up to third and set the table for brian roberts' game- winning base hit to center. fouls. >> jim: he fouls it off the other way 1-1. >> buck: he can hit. he and nolan reimold were the heart of the order for the norfolk triple-a team. >> jim: andino leading

andino is taking a lead off first, over by hannahan. ball three. >> buck: have to take another one, obviously. maybe even one more to get nick markakis a chance to get up here with a couple aboard. >> jim: 3-0 on reimold. and now there is a four-pitch walk. not exactly what bob geren had in mind. so markakis will have a chance to come up, representing the tieing run. suzuki out to the mound, possibly to stall. breslow is up in the bullpen, not throwing that long. and it will be breslow coming on to face markakis. as buck mentioned, he comes to plate now, representing a tieing run. andino at second, reimold at first and breslow coming on to face markakis in the 8th. what is it to lead? at pnc, it's doing what most benefits our customers. whether that's having more certified green buildings than anyone on earth, creating online banking tools for the next generation, or making a 10-year, $100 million investment in kids. it's how we've always done business. and will for a very long time to come. pnc. leading the way. >> jim: craig breslow

orioles with just the 1-0 lead on andino home run. roberts down the third, that s a fair ball! that will bring home matt wieters it is a 2-0 lead on a brian roberts double. >> jim: a nice judgment by the orioles, second, third time through the order. -- nice adjustment by the orioles. just slicing it into left f. roberts can do this in his sleep. terrific bat head to the ball, and wieters is going to score easy as andino goes to third. and roberts at second. >> gary: brian coming in third in the league in doubles. he picks up the rbi. the orioles get the 2-0 lead, still just one away, and two e still in scoring position. >> jim: and they are going to bring the infield in for thy with the best numberses with guys in scoring positions. will take the pitch from hernandez away, so he has the big advantage going with the infield drawn in. >> jim: the first six orioles tonight in the lineup have batting averages over .300 wih runners in scoring position. and adam leads the pack. i said it's

shortstop will step n andino has popped out. only the 21st game that he only had 22 at-bats. compare that to regular position players, one extra base hit. that is a double, three rbis. 30-1 count. fastball. 1 ball, 1 strike on andino. right hander against braden have hit .308. left handers, .186. taken outside. whatever that so-called book is of baseball, the numbers line up as they are supposed to, regarding braden. >> buck: and he just has the ability to change up his patterns as well. he should be, if he continues to stay notice same pattern here, use the fastball, especially down in the order, to the number 9 hitter in andino. 22-1 delivery. ground ball, shortstop, there is one on the relay, there is two. no run, no error, nobody left on base as braden continues to roll along and the a's are taking that 6-0 lead early. what is it to lead? at pnc, it's doing what most benefits our customers. whether that's having more certified green buildings than anyone on earth, creating online banking tools for the next generation, or mak

. >> andino gets the orioles on the board, 1-0 os. it stayed that way until the bottom of the 5th. matt wieters would score, and this gives the orioles a 2-0 lead. >> gary: you see wieters coming around to score. two big runs for wietere night. top of the 7th. david murphy, rbi double, this gives the mets a lead. >> they come battling back. they get the lead on this double. david murphy last year withe rangers comes up big for the mets. >> that forces him pie pinch upping with the tieing run as they have the infield in, and you have a against k-the robbe owens -- and aubrey huff agait k-rod. reimold will pinch hit andrewa walk. and orioles go home winners wh the final of 5-4. orioles after dropping the first game in the series come back d win back to back games 5-4 the final. albers, a perfect 9th inning, no runs allowed. and rodriguez gets the loss. he's 1-2, andino, the third career home run, and orioles first win after trailing at the 8th. we will head back to the masn broadcast b

andino at the plate for the o's. spectacular night on the plays as buck showed you there on the field at shortstop. >> this is his best defensive night for sure. he made two very fine double plays, starting them with brian roberts. >> gary: he has hit into a double play in the 5th inning and popped out. jeremy guthrie started. he gave up 6 runs, 7 hits in just 2/3 inning, the shortest outing of his career. oriole bullpen the other three runs charged to mark hendrickson came on a three-run homerun by matt holliday. mark hendrickson came on, 3 1/3 innings, gave up three runs. castillo came on last inning, hit a batter. gonzalez on for the starter braden. that pitch misses low. 2-2 on andino. braden get the win, he will improve the mark to 4-1 against the oriole, e.r.a. 1.33 against the o's, wouldn't be hurt. 2-2 delivery. grounded to second base. kennedy. 2 down. >> buck: you can certainly see by the start of braden tonight how the a's are encouraged by the young pitching. he is only 25 years old and already characteri

we need to get andino on here and turn the lineup over for us. this would be a good time to do it again. >> buck: how important is it to get the pitcher up there and get him ant opportunity to have a productive out. >> you saw it with baker last inning. it would be nice to get baker out of the game and have nolasco start the inning off the next time. now they turned the lineup over and the number three and number four guys late in the game are probably going to get an extra at-bat unless we have a couple of 1-2-3 innings. >> jim: you were talking about the ability and consistency that the orioles have come back. you've got to get all 27 outs. it's nice not to have to get into those deficits stha. simply a mindset, an attitude on the team where they know we will still have three outs woorks ear -- we're north out it have until we get that third out? >> i think it's an attitude about playing hard for all nine innings and all 27 outs and don't take anything for granted and don't give at-bats away. don't let down out in the field especially on the mo

robert andino. and the orioles lead.  that one bounces off the bat, nice play andino. but the throw is in the dugout, and another base t will be a throwing error, and beltran is going to go down to second ba. >> jim: i don't know how the original hit will be, up the middle, nice range, trying to get his bearing, and normally, it's a tough play, because the ball stays down. he drops his arm a little, and just doesn't have enough on it to see where it bounces. and the, kind ever the swirl with the love by wigginton. >> gary: a straighter call, to baser on andino for the moment, and that puts a runner at secd base, the potential tieing ru. and here is reed. he struck out in the 1st. wright gets another shot at it here. >> jim: let's see what his approach it. comes in leading the national league in hitting. .397 coming in. good right field hitter. >> gary: orioles have been working inside to him, tryingo prevent him from extending his arms, and he's had

andino retired. one away. >> buck: a couple of years ago, hayden penn was in seattle anticipating his start and he, too, had an appendectomy and missed significant time. the suggestion that i'm hearing is that he may into the miss significant time so that's a little surprising. >> gary: they are hoping for the best. >> buck: yeah, absolutely. >> gary: brian roberts and the pitch is taken outside for a ball. he delivered a single first time up and got out of the 0- for-17 he was in. that one will be fouled back upstairs. >> buck: this is the kind of game that, as hitter, you have to dpriend against dallas braden. you can't think about getting all six runs back in one i inning. one thing they have not been doing in this road trip is string back-to-back hits. >> gary: the road trip in seattle was tough. tough games, hitting .229 in those two games, 1.6 runs per game. that will be fouled off to third base on a 2 balls, 2 strikes count. braden has big numbers against the orioles. he is 3-1 with a 1.66 car

sheer robert andino now with one on and none down. andino trying to push a bunt. he fouls back. >> jim: you can't jab -- >> buck: you can't jab at a bunt like that. he's fortunate it went out of play. he's trying to push it pass the pitcher and make the first baseman cantu field t now samuel is going to talk to him a little bit. >> jim: i wonder if he may have done that on his own. if you think about it, you're on the road. you want to get the game tiedment you usually don't play for a tie on the road. >> buck: he might have been thinking. he didn't look as though he was pushing it for a base hit. he sort of jabbed it. juan samuel makes sure heunderstands what's going on here. it's a goofy game. it's not -- no full moon. you couldn't tell. the clouds have been out here forever. >> jim: he squares again and pushes it in the air and it's caught by the first baseman. jorge cantu. so, not a very good effort there by robert andino as he was trying to push that ball towards the hole at first base and he is out and wieters has to hold at first base. we invite you to join

andino again, there is one and there is two. andino playing a spectacular shortstop in this game has made two great plays that have resultd in double plays. does it again here. diving, gets the flip and look how much time they had at first. hey. don't move. for the next minute, i'm gonna show you what it's like to have verizon fios. these are your widgets, they let you put whatever you're watching down here, while you check out local traffic, weather, even your news up there. i've got a news flash you're out of mayo. how did you get in here? door was open. you'd have tons of ways for you to search content: by actor, director, any word at all. what about chicken? chicken's fine. any word. no i mean do you have any chicken? i want to eat some chicken. and one of the coolest things you can do with fios... ...is stream your music and your photos from your computer to your tv. slideshows look and sound better than ever. and now is the best time to upgrade to fios all the time. want to tell the why? i do not. because when you call the

andino, he'll be taking and does. fastball in there. >> jim: you would actually think he would be taking here. only two extra-base hits all year long. even though the averages come up, he's played a terrific shortstop. >> gary: really smoothed out his plays we were talking about earlier. three ball, one strike count. runners on first and second base. he draws the wahl walk to load the bases. so, having no one coming into the inning, he walks two here in this inning and that will bring up dan warthen the pitching coach to have a word with his starter. base loaded two down and roberts coming up. pelfrey has taken the mets pretty deep in ballgames that he has started. he's good at getting some innings under his belt at least five in 10-11 starts he's made this season. he's working here in the fifth inning. it's not as though he hasn't gone deep into ballgames. he goes deep in this day and age. >> jim: he kind of certainly has the stuff to do that. the sinker being the most important pitch. he's not in the roy halladay cl

inside to andino. so, orioles who picked up two runs in the sixth inning on the home run by nick markakis, his eighth of the year, had those runs picked right back up again by the mets in the top half of the seventh inning. one ball, one strike count, andino. chopper, fair ball. green, two down. two away in the bottom half of the seventh. >> jim: you can see what sean green does so well. he sinks the ball. he's got a way with a hanging slider or a breaking ball, whatever he calls it to nolan reimold who saw it last inning and eyes light up and hit it right at the left fielder. one thing about the mets, they are a terrific home team 18-11. on the road, they need to start winning some games. 14-18. their e.r.a. about a run and a half lower, .330 at home. .498 coming into this game on the road. big, big difference. >> gary: that makes sense with their new ballpark we've talked about. they play in a lot of ballparks that are hitter's yards. they don't. they play in a pitcher's yard. the things the pitcher'

a big at-bat by andino to lead us off. oscar, a great piece of hitting to move them over and adam with the big hit that's what has allowedtous win a few games in a row, and hopefully we can carry it on into our next series. >> sheer a look at tonight's orioles' starting lineup. you can see brian roberts at the top as usual. aubrey huff, and nick markakis is back in right field. he has hit .375 in his last six games. as for the marlins, jorge cantu, and dan uggla has a dozen home runs at second base. when we come back, dennis sarfate show what is he does to keep busy while being on the orioles' disabled list. that story comes up next when we continue "o's xtra" here on masn! anmy southwest flight. woman over phone: no problem. you know, maybe other people are content to sit around and wait. wait for something to happen. for business to pick up. but for you, it's time to kick it in gear. time to get going. time to get tough. take control. you're not gonna run and hide. because backing down's not your style. grab your bag. it

there's the shove of andino, and he did -- the shot of andino, an edid catch it. no trap. >> jim: i have the ball. 3-1 delivery. count will go to 3-2. >> jim: when you pitch in the 7th inning, and pitch count not extraordinarily hi, you have to your arm down. >> gary: that is strikeout number 8. >> jim: we talked about body language all night long. i mean good body language from jason berken, but watch castillo after this called this a stri. that's closer. he goes what? and been one of those strike zones. too late. there you go. that was pretty good though. >> gary: it was a tato your golf ball? get down, get up, stop. >> gary: i would like to talko had, but i can never find it. >> jim: we can come up with that >> gary: no. infomercial. >> gary: are you big on boiled eggs? that one into right field, that's going to be a base hit. boy, he is tough. what a job he's doing at the p of the order. on three time, two hits. >> gary: he has a veiled swing, he knows that the more fly balls he hits, the more outs he'll make. he's 

men out. >> buck: the sharply hit ball but right at robert andino. once he gloves the ball, watch the reaction as he's going to look at third base. check hanley ramirez. ramirez jockeying off the bag. no thawfts going home. dan uggla now with two down and a runner at third. uggla singled and scored in the second inning. he was on base when cody ross hit it out. this ball is drilled deep to left. back it goes and it is gone. all of a sudden now, it is a 5- 0 marlin lead before coming in on two swings. rich hill having a tough night. >> buck: we mentioned ease done a pretty good job of keeping the ball in the ballpark, but a first-pitch fastball just oust -- just out over the plate. uggla use that great power and hits it off the back wall above the orange seats over the scoreboard in left. his second home run in this series. he's done a pretty good job of sitting on pitches and hitting them pretty hard. 15th home run of the season now. he, too, has 45 rbi's. >> jim: rich hill one home run allowed in his first seven starts. two home runs aloud in 2 2/3

andino is there. whenever you get wright, it's a big out. no runs, one hit, one left object base from the innerharbor across to a famous sign. knit, delicate, permanent press... the ocean doesn't care. so grab your bag. >> gary: 4-5-0 for the mets 0-1-2 for the orioles as guthrie settles in and gets the side out. now it's about the orioles bats. last thing orioles want to see after what they went through for five days is any kind of -- they want to continue what happened against atlanta in the last two. >> jim: you're right. i think everybody talked about it says i got the game. that's a long, long time ago. good pitching does stop good hitting. doesn't mean you can't score runs. the way pelfrey is throwing the ball tonight, you're going to have good at-bats. obviously, brian roberts drops a ground ball. could have been a double play. would have been two quick outs in the fourth inning. again, the mets came back and had some great quality at-bats against jeremy guthrie throwing in the mid-90s. orioles will have to do that again to pelfre

andino with another pretty good play. but think about this, at the beginning of the season, the first three appearances which went for 7 and a third innings, he gave up 12 earned runs and in his last 13 appearances, which is 26 innings. he's only given up three earned runs and during that time, only one home run, which the orioles starting pitchers and the orioles pitching staff have given up more home runs than anybody in the american league. >> how about the earned run average over the last 15 appearances. 0.92 victories and 22 hits and 6 walks. >> you have to start thinking about brian bass because he was a starter with the minnesota twins before he came here, that he might be considered for a starting role here. if this starting staff doesn't start getting things in line. to do what they're doing right now on this road trip, losing five games its way they've done with no offense, the only game they really won was a 1-0 ballgame up in seattle. you have to tart considering shaking everybody up and start moving some guys

robert andino 0-2 with a pair of ground balls to ryan zimmerman. not a good place to hit the ball lately. >> rob: now it is like joel is mad and he is throwing the ball with conviction. he threw a great slider to wieters and now he is throwing fastballs. but you shouldn't have to give up a couple of runs. >> jim: you're right. he was a starting pitch mer the minor leagues, so he should have a pretty good sense of how to -- the guy should not be a thrower. he should be a pitcher. >> bob: and then he buries the slider. >> rob: but you have the throw it. you have the throw it. >> jim: you have to finish it. >> rob: you have to have the good follow-through, the mechanics. but but getting back to my point about the hitters, you to believe they can't hit your stuff. >> jim: if you make your pitches. and your defense, the way you pitch them, you're going to throw them away, again, the number one draft choice, matt half good. i said you know what you try to do as a 3eu67er, whether you're relieving, you try to concise the field. the field is big, but if yo

andino. he got him. sheffield retired. one away in the 8th. time to text in your vote for the at&t player of the game. jason berken the starter, ando delivered his first home run f the season, and livan hernandz on the other side who continues looking for his 6th win. text in your vote matt albersn the pen. [ inaudible ] >> gary: andino gets the big hope. church who had the being rbi t is retired -- had the big rbi hit is retired. two away in the 8th. murphy, beltran, wright and church. >> jim: you look at that curveball he hit, one of the few curve balls that jason berken got all night. that's what happens, battling, battling. >> gary: there's santos, and he'll take the pitch down w for a ball santos getting in e ballgame, 0-3 first appearance in this series. .272 on the year for the mets catcher. and the pitch will just miss. 2-0. >> gary: he's doing a terrific job because of the back problems, and brian snyder, hs parents lived in indianapolis. just wanted to say hello to h. big ori

reimold in lpd left field, wieters will catch and andino at shortstop. he stepped in because cesar izturis on the d. l. he's contributing on the field and at the plate. >> well, robert andino is a good, contact hitter. i think the more you see him play, the more you'll like this guy. he makes a lot of good plays on defense. pretty good range for a utility player and a guy who goes to his right very well. one thing i really like. he gets a hit his first time up, he's going to get more than one hit. he's one of those kind of players. he's very selfish when it comes to contact. he loves that base hits. he's not just satisfied with one. he had four three games ago, four base hits in one game and he's starting to hit the ball more like did he in the minor leagues right now he says. >> so, orioles have turned the corner. they've won back-to-back games looking to make it three straight as interleague baseball conditions here -- continues here at camden yards. when we come back on "o's xtra", we'll look back to the gem spun by brad bergesen on sunday, the oriole

andino has been an all-star dealing shortstop for the orioles since izturis has been out, he's been that good. harris chases johnson's pitch, rolls over. >> bob: all three orioles pitchers who retired a hitter have registered a double play in the ballgame. here's guzman, 2 for 3. batting average up at .347. he has his 8th multihit game in his last 10. >> rob: it's an easy. >> jim p.: last year he was the 8th inning guy. >> bob: guzman tries to pull that tailing fastball. bad throw by roberts. dug out by huff. p hi, my meeting got moved up. i need to change my southwest flight. woman over phone: no problem. you know, maybe other people are content to sit around and wait. wait for something to happen. for business to pick up. but for you, it's time to kick it in gear. time to get going. time to get tough. take control. you're not gonna run and hide. because backing down's not your style. grab your bag. it's on.

andino is looking at extended play at shortstop. he had a fine play. >> rick: he had an outstanding play. you see how he turned the big double play. that's one the best plays we have seen at shortstop all season long. seeing it again, quick, out of the glove to brian robert, over for the double play and there, throwing to his left, up the middle, pitch to robert. get an easy double play. you see it again. south standing back hand. this guy really knows what he is doing with consistent play. every now and then, he will have a bad shot at throwing the ball away and everything. you know that's going to happen pause he just does not get enough playing time. you see this one, he lets it get away. when you don't play every day, those are the kinds ever things that will happen. he does show the orioles that he has outstanding talent. hits tonight and a couple of nice defensive plays. >> jim: we'll learn how long cesar izturis will be out following hit emergency appendectomy. we'll go back to oakland right now. >> gary: back here with dave

andino to roberts to end the inning. now that college is a few years behind me, it seems i've got three times the bills i used to. and they're getting in the way of things i'd like to do. with the money bar, i can move my money around instantly, so when there's more bills than usual, it's no problem. and i use the wish list to put any extra money aside for anything i want. being in control of my money feels good. introducing the virtual wallet from pnc, a high-definition, online view of your money. pnc. leading the way. >> jim: matt wieters going to hit his first major league home run. it looks like a fly ball and just sails out of here. great plate coverage. the man will give the orioles a 3-1 lead at the time. not only his first one, but an important one. >> gary: luke scott will lead it off here. a 3-2 ballgame with the orioles on top. scott, a strikeout victim his first time up. and a check swing foul ball. interleague play for luke, this is the 36th game. in interleague action. the orioles have had tough numbers ove

andino has played so well at shortstop. he knows there is no possible chance to turn the double play. he just turns the play. you make a great point. when i played for cal ripken sr., he used to tell us all, the reason we're here, people come out, even from aberdeen, south dakota, that is the most important thing, and we all want to get to the next level, and we can do that as a team. i imagine in the independent league, everyone has to work for themselves. >> rob: and it is last chance chance. most of these guys were the best high school players, college players, and this is their last chance to be recognized. >> jim: a good breaking ball there. guzman swings through it. >> jim: the guy is only hitting .329 against righties. so he is just one of those amazing hitters. bat on the ball. you can play -- >> jim: and he got it. so waiters picks it up and tags out guzeman and the orioles get the opener of this three-game interleague series snapping their three-game losing streak. the orioles with an eight-run bottom of the sixth

that will be the second out of the inning, and number nine man robert andino will be next. let's pay off our aflac trivia. rookies of the year, position players. >> jim p.: it has to be cal ripken, and andre dawson. that's a way back. >> rob: i was going to say moises alou. that would have been my guess. >> bob: rob and i had this discussion a couple weeks ago, some of our fans don't want to hear about the expos. they consider that another lifetime. >> jim p.: so then we wouldn't have brought the nationals in there. >> bob: does anybody talk about the st. louis browns anymore? >> jim p.: 1954, yeah. >> bob: teams move and that's part of your history whether you like it or not. and the browns were not exactly stellar. i think they went to one world series in 44. >> jim p.: anything else you'd like to vent about tonight, bob? >> bob: no. >> jim p.: my shirt? >> bob: i love your shirt. >> jim p.: you guys really look good tonight. >> bob: thank you. >> jim p.: you've got a long sleeve shirt on, rob, and bob's got the shortsleeve. >> bob: i've got less ink. >> jim p.: that's tr

on the left side it is mora and andino. robert andino anxious to play against his former team. he was a florida marlin. the rookie matt wieters is behind the plate for koji uehara. >> jim: one awe on the ground ball. here is emilio bonifacio. very familiar to masn viewers. last year with the washington nationals. he was traded to the marlins in november as pa part of that big trade, scott olsen and willingham went back to washington, d.c. he swings through and it is 0-2. the problem with bonifacio this year, buck, is he is outstanding on the bases, but he is having trouble getting on base. he can -- you cannot steal first. he's gown on three pitches. there is a strikeout and two away. two straight outs. let's head down stairs and say hell he once again to amber. >> hello. as buck mentioned, caesar izturis is back with the team. he lives in the miami area, so a good opportunity to come over and be evaluated. he did a little bit of running today. he also swung off of a tee, but he told me he is still feeling pretty weak from the a pen deck tom me he received on june 5. he is nerv

there's andino. one down, as austin kearns is put aside. >> jim p.: this is really different. >> jim h.: this is a classic orange. >> rob: it matches the masn colors. >> jim p.: or the orioles colors. orange and black. >> bob: there it is. >> rob: got to be observant. >> jim p.: they did a better job on masn on my shirt than they did on the uniforms earlier on in the year. is it spelled right? what, did they forget the t? >> rob: that was the "o" on adam dunn. >> jim h.: a long throw, he got him. and back-to-back outs on ground balls and two men down. here's your chance to save on tickets to upcoming o's games and pick up some exclusive memorabilia. you'll save on tickets to four upcoming games of your choice, including a prime game, plus for a limited time, purchase who tickets and receive an autographed photo of nolan reimold. if you purchase four, you'll get an autograph picture of matt wieters as well. so guthrie has now retired three in a row going back to the double play to end the first. back

here's andino. and he takes a strike. >> jim p.: it was kind of interesting, gregg zaun was talking yesterday, he said, because of my uncle, pat and rick dempsey, he said, i came to the big leagues probably or at least into professional ball at 18 knowing how to catch. it's the hitting problem that's always been the difficult thing. tonight that hasn't been a problem. >> jim h.: there's a base hit. belliard was able to freeze melvin mora momentarily so melvin has to be held at third by juan sam well, and the orioles have the bases loaded. >> jim p.: melvin's job is not to get doubled up. if the ball gets through for a base hit, you know the bases are going to be loaded. >> jim h.: so mora goes to third, zaun at second, andino is on at first with one down. here's brian roberts who is without a doubt due. he's 0 for 4 tonight and 0 for his last 14. >> jim p.: how about winning 11- 1 and one of the best lead-off guys in baseball having what for him is an off night. that 0 for 4 last night. >> jim h.: t

reimold, wieters, andino and rich hill the pitcher batting ninth. nolan reimold now in the number six spot. takes a fastball high. mentioned last night that reimold and luke scott will be thrilled to get back to baltimore for tomorrow's investigate. there's only three games left in interleague and they will be american league rules at camden yards this weekend which means reimold can count on being in left field and luke scott cancount on dhing or at least have the option to do so. orioles will face yet ano left-handed pitcher tomorrow. so, dave trembley always has the option of putting wigginton in there, but you get the hitter back. >> buck: it's been an unbelievable stretch of left- handers they have faced lately going all the way back to the seattle series on the west coast. >> jim: sheer base hit to right eld for nolan reimold. good piece of hitting there going with it and he's on with a one-out single. the orioles have their and nd brunner >>let's take a look at the pnc scouting report for the big left-hander sean west. fastball, slider,

he hits andino with a good cutoff and andino relays it, butuggla scores ahead of the tag. uggla sees the go ahead from bo porter and the throw on the money, but not on time. >> jim: wieters didn't block the plate. he tried to swipe tag and uggla was able to get around him. two walks in the game. they both scored 3-0, florida. here is baker, the catcher. >> buck: interesting that cody ross who popped up on a slider in his last at-bat after berken busted him up and in hits a hanging slider and hits it down into the corner. >> jim: he end up at third. went to third on the throw home. orioles have the infield in. it's outside, ball two. -- ball two. >> buck: walks, anytime they hurt you. down in the order when you can get the pitch arrest -- pitcher's spot out and get him out of the way for the following inning, always an advantage. >> jim: there's a -- there is a strike. 2-1 on baker who singled his first at-bat. jason berken walked two, struck out one and now trails 3-0 here in the fourth inning. >> buck: excellent base runner at third base in cody ross. it wouldn't be a hug

anything from .267 from andino at short will be anything more than cenl acceptable. pelfrey, the proof of the sinker not only the ground balls but the no fly balls -- no fly balls. he's only allowed 24 home runs since 2006. it is the fewest in the majors oan over that time afghanistan -- over that time span. that's when he came up. that ball lined to short. easily handled by cora. nine in a row retired by pelfrey. pitcher's duel under way -- pitchers' duel under way.  goirts time to bring you up  speed with the at&t rapid rewind. >> jim: jeremy guthrie awfls awfully good struggling early on. 22-49 of his runs coming in the first two innings. not tonight. in fact, we have two guys pitching no hitters tonight. you've seel seen all the -- you've seen all the pitches. the pitch that has really hurt him, the slider, has been good tonight. >> gary: at&t, the nation's fastest 3g network, your world delivered. guthrie at work here. pitch taken high. it will be martinez, beltran and wright for the mets. second time through the order. will take the pitch. the youngster

. >> jim: robert andino takes low, 2-0. after a walk 2-rbgs-0 on andino. the orioles last weekends, as an example, the phillies are the defending world series clear i don't knows, ryan howard played friday night and the flu got him. he pinch hit and then he didn't play sunday and ibanez on the d.l. so they really missed two key hitters, but the orioles pitched very well and they got clutch hits. >> jim: that's how you win. you have to do it on the road. the orioles do it better here, the e.r.a. almost a run and three quarters bitter hen at home. >> jim: andino bones it the left side, and the flip to the second baseman, anderson hernandez and the inning ends. we have played two in the battle of the beltways and it is a 1-1 game! about moving my money. tdd#: 1-800-345-2550 i am moving it." >> jim: tonight's beltway series on masn brought to you by southwest airlines. book your next trip at southwest.com. by corona and corona light. the official sponsors of the time out. relax responsibly. by aflac, we've got you under our wing. and by pnc, pnc, leading t

hard slider to robert andino. andino is 0 for 2, a fielder's choice and has struck out. 31,906 the announced attendance. they're seeing a heck of a ballgame tied up here in the bottom of the sixth inning. throw over again. reimold back to the bag. one down. parnell is a flamethrower. even the breaking balls that he throws tend to be really hard, like that slider you saw. 33rd appearance, he's done a lot of work. here's the 1-0 delivery. check swing and a ball inside. a strike called. that was close. >> jim: last year he was 10-6. then went up to triple-a, he was with the mets for five innings at the end of the year. but he does have an awfully good arm. >> gary: taken in the air to center field. beltran is there and he's got it. and there are two down. >> jim: the mets come in with a 3.18 e.r.a. that is the best in the national league. their e.r.a. at home and on the road a lot different, because we told you, citi field is not like yankee stadium. good place to pitch. >> gary: the runner at first, remains there, t

here's andino. and the orioles back on top 3- 1. first career home run by matt wieters, and if you're the fan that caught that, you're darn right you're excited. i don't know if matt will get that back or not. probably at this point he doesn't care. andino over the screen. redding doesn't give up the home run very often. he's only surrendered two prior to that one. so the third off the mets starter. >> jim: that's the 49th home run the orioles have hit at home this year. >> gary: there's the man that caught the baseball. you saw how excited he was when he got it. he still is. he'll be smiling like that for about a week. and a strike three called. >> jim: that home run traveled 366 feet. i gave up enough of them to know, it doesn't matter if they go 366 or 319, they get over the wall, they're gone. >> gary: that takes a load off matt wieters. >> jim: he still hasn't gotten a hit with a runner in scoring position, now we know, when they're on first, they're in scoring position. >> gary: he's probably going it take the ball down and ge

it's a base hit pass the dive of andino. so, back-to-back hits here in the eighth inning. cody ross has a two-hit night. don't forget orioles are hosting a series of baseball camps all designed for boys and girls ages 7-16. tutorial baseball summer camp will feature a four-day instructional program with player appearance by current around former orioles plus professional instructors and you get autographs and -- autograph and photo tiewpts and daily lunch opportunities. go to orioles.com and click on fan forum to register and find out more. here is brett carroll the nment number eight batter. he takes a strike. carroll has played in each game of the series coming on defensively in right field. tonight, he got a start with the orioles starting the left- hander rich hill. check swing. he fouled it off. it's 0-2. orioles in the ninth will have wieters andino and then the pitcher -- pitcher's spot due up. luke scott and aubrey huff available on the bench to pinch- hit. each given the night off. 1-2 as he doesn't chase that pitch off the plate. paulino at second. ross at first

andino waits on the hop. he gets it to first. ross retired, one away. florida is hot. they've won four in a row in 8- 11. they're thriving in these interleague games. they sure love playing the orioles. they are 5 15-5 all time against the orioles. brett carroll, the right fielder, takes one in the dirt. the difference in the division you play in is huge. marlins are one above .500, two games out of first place. they're in third place in the east. phillies have a game and a half lead on the mets and two on the marlins. there's a base hit up the middle by brett carroll. the braves are three below .500. they are only four games out of first place. >> buck: yeah, they are taking it on the chin tonight. yankees are out in front 8-3 after just 3 1/2 innings in atlanta. marlins will go to tampa bay to finish out interleague play this year. josh johnson opens up the series in st. petersburg. >> jim: jeremy hermida pinch- hitting for the pitcher sean west. slice it is to left. reimold back on it. he has it for the out. two men down. hermida going after the first pitch. carroll

an dino goes -- andino goes 1 for 3. good ballgame, good pitching. a nice way to spend a sunday where the nationals win. >> it's always nice to win and it makes everything so much easier. we played good defense. lannan kept us there. bullpen came in and certainly mcdougal threw the heck out of the baseball. turned a couple double plays, and just all around very solid ballgame. >> shall we go back and take a look at john lannan's game today. first inning he breezed past, then you pick it up from here. >> he walked reimold. he actually had three walks today, which is not generally what he does. he throws him a breaking ball there 3-2. scott comes up behind him and gets a high hanging breaking ball that he rips down the right-field line, ends up second and third. salazar then comes up, and puts him in a situation where he hits a ground ball through the left side. scores a run. it could have been a lot worse than that. he ends up getting wieters to hit a ground ball to first, then ends up being a double play. then he got andino to ground out right back t

.: you saw the smile on andino. and who is leading off. melvin mora against we'll cacal m ththk ttttle ol 17 yrs in tthe sw, s so n i thnk is jujulien. >> m p.p.: i membmber en hehe ar eaed run in his last 15 apearances. so he's the guy out of the bullpen. >> bob: mike mcdougal idoing well himself. he's not getting many save opportunities. >> rob: you won't get a better opportunity than bases loaded, no outs. >> bob: fe at-bats tonight with the bases loaded and nobody out and they have two rbi's to show for it on walks. that's has n tting in situations to tte or if you're a pcher, what do i hto do right here to help the club. not what can i do to help the name on the back. >> bob: jim johnson yet to appear in this series. after albers pitched st nit and just got three huge outs, that may be a one inning for him. it's mora, zaun and andino for the orioles, bottom of the sixth. >> jim p.: he picked up the entire orioles ball club with that inning. >> dave trembley confirmed today, that koji uehara will not make his scheduled tomorrow tomorro

andino, high fly ball to right. back on it is hermida and just in front of the warning track he has it for the out. and the orioles down in the fifth. an error and a man left. we're in miami and the orioles with a 1-0 lead. we build motion detectors. we build troop transports. we build moving vans. we build tv stations. we build the 25 mile per gallon chrysler town & country. come see what we've built for you.  >> back in south florida, everybody. the orioles' -- the orioles leads now 1-0 in the fifth inning. it seems the clouds are starting to part. the shower seems to have moved through, and that is good news with the way koji uehara is pitching on the mound, dave trembley does not want the lose him to a rain delay. dave plaid it clear before the game, in the event of a rain delay, he would not put koji back out on the mound after that delay. he said also with the day off yesterday that his bullpen and his long men are very well rested. they can come in and pick up the innings. right now in center field, i'm s

. >> jim: andino quickly gets across to get bonifacio. two men down. >> buck: koji uehara is scheduled to pitch on sunday. there you see the rest of the schedule. on masn 2 tomorrow as we wrap up this three-game series in south florida against the marlins and back home against the nationals friday, saturday and sunday. friday and saturday on masn hd and masn 2. both games start rat 7:00. sunday, masn hd and wjz and dc 50. monday, the red sox back into the american league play as interleague play will be over. >> jim: this weekend, we will once again combine our masn crews. bob carpenter and rob dibble will join us at camden yards. two outs, nobody on. ramirez up. takes ball one. there's a strike. berken has allowed three runs, two earned, one unearned. marlins have four hits. orioles have four hits. berken has hurt himself. two walks, each have scored. hanley ramirez now has a six- game hitting streak. he has the best average in the national league with runners in scoring position. he came up in the first with two in scoring position and

more of wieters and andino. >> rob: the pnc scouting all right on detwilerer. he did a very good job against them he has great stuff a breaking ball and he continues to pitch better every time out there. he went seven innings. work ahead of the hitters. strike one is still the best pitch for ross detwilerer. the last time we talked about him, jim, he throws across his body. he has to continually go towards home plate or else he gets a little lax with his arm. >> jim: i was talking to steve who took over for randy st. claire and he said that is who he is. you try to get a little straight, but he is way over on the first base side. i don't think he is over as much as some other guys, like rick ankiel who is now an outfield were st. louis. he used to be about two feet across his body. >> bob: roberts batting right- handed, and he fouls it off. ryan is hitting at .292. manny acta and his club here in baltimore, again, this is a budding rivalry as each team continues in the rebuilding process. the hope is that as each team improves on the field, the rivalry will imp

andino on deck and then the pitcher's spot. wieters takes a ball. matt is 0--- 0-3 on the night and 4-18 on the trip. mention marlins go on the road after the game, but only cross state to tampa. they have the road portion of their home at home with the rays. the rays were here in may, but it's only a three-game road trip. they come right back when the nationals finish with the orioles on sunday. nanls nationals will fly here. nats are here monday, tuesday and wednesday night. so, nationals completing a six- game home stand. they're on the road for just three. then, they come home for another six-game home stand. 12-15 a stretch here at home and they're playing well 2-2 is fouled back. they started the month home on june 1 and they were home june 11. that's a pretty good month to be able to turn things around and get going again. this is a team that started 11- 1 and fell below .500. >> buck: they got off to an interesting month. up north, they played in the midwest and in the northern ballparks in detroit and cleveland. they had just a rough start

andino has one play to first. he gets it there to get wes helms. two men down. runners advance. ross to third and baker to second. that will turn the lineup over again. and chris coghlan with a chance for a couple of rbi's. it's been a tough night for albers. second inning of work. he's allowed two runs. one of those uneshd. the runs still came in. now, it's a three-run deficit. orioles trail. coghlan fouls it back. orioles team pitching has been improving -- improving over the month. they finally got the team e.r.a. down below 5.00. it has been above 5.300 for a white. it's still in the eighth. the only tame with a higher team e.r.a. than the others, the cleveland indians. they're at 5.27. the only american league club with an e.r.a. above 5.00. >> buck: very difficult to have to think about scoring minimum of five runs every night to win a game. that's the case when your e.r.a. is at 5.00. cleveland's e.r.a. is going to stay up because they've given up the 10 spot tonight in pittsburgh against the pirates. they trail 10-1 in the eighth. -- in the eighth. >> jim: 2-1 on coghlan

matt wieters and then robert andino. luke scott, you see the numbers for the season, he has been hot. the inside fastball, which he has mastered effectively will really set up his change-up which is one of the better ones that we will see all year long and he is a real battler. last time out, he got hit on his pitches hand off the hand of vernon wells. he stayed in the game and pitched six strong innings. >> gary: and the manager said he was asked to describe the starting pitcher. he said tough and that's what he was referring to. the guy stays in after that, you figure that's a guy that's pretty tough. 25-year-old left hander ready to go. brian roberts staying in. does brian want to get a hit quickly. he is 0-for-his last 17, continues to be tied at first in run. he has been above .300 but has now dropped to below 300. the count is now even 1-1. roberts with the outfield in a couple of stems on him. that one in the air to centerfield. davis coming, coming, coming, diving and there is the base hit you need to get out of

the first ball swinging, robert andino and bonifacio gets the out. one pitch and one down in the oriole third inning. it looks like a lot of the orioles going up there and looking for a fastball and jumping on the first pitch. >> buck: they sure are, and unfortunately it has led to five straight ground ball outs. they're going to have to be a bit more patient and get him in the strike zone so they can get it off the ground. >> jim: the orioles will be loam on friday night against the nationals to close out the interleague and back home it will be back to american league rules. >> buck: they have really played well and we talk about their 9-3 interleague record and we have to compliment them. now an opportunity. you play tough here against the florida marlins and you have washington coming into your own ballpark. they could have the best interleague record of their history. >> jim: the orioles certainly know how tough it is in the a.l. east when you play so mr. games against the other teams in the division, but it really jumps out at you when you get
