here is kevin millar hitting .246. kevin did appear in the ball fame last night, 8th inning as a pinch hit and flied out with the bases loaded. the nats made big pitch after big pitch last nightpreventing toronto from winning in regulation and can you do the same thing for the blue jays' bullpen until the 112th inning. that was some battle last night. 2-1, taking four hours to play 11. 14 pitch first that game last night. 14 pitchers in that game last night. good - looking fastball. detwiler just missingwith that one. kevin millar, in his 12th year, .277 career hitter. >> rob: great guy to have on your ball club. >> bob: just ask the marlins, red sox and orioles. >> rob: did everything the way it is supposed to be done. >> bob: and if you are not doing it as a teammate, he will tell you to cowboy up and do it the right way. one of the best lines ever. kevin millar knows what it's like to value being a professional ballplayer. had he to make his way through the interleague for a while. a one-hop tore cristian guzman. ro

. >> bob: kevin millar, 1-for-4 with a business hit tonight. zimmerman really guarding the line at third. nick johnson holding the runner. that's a nice breaking ball. >> rob: it is. >> bob: it's about the speed of a change-up, 84. >> rob: he threw a 93 running fastball that was off the charts. now he comes back with an 83 mile-per-hour change-up. he turned that over like a screw ball. no telling what julian tavarez has learned over 17 years in the big leagues. >> bob: they used to get all over him about the debris that accumulated on the bill of his cap. he got thrown out of a game one time. that's inside and strike 2. >> rob: he accumulated a lot of knowledge over the years, why not a lot of goo. >> bob: look at that. good location. that will now allow the runner to mu. at first is adam lind. on deck, raul chavez, the catcher. breaking ball, low and away, two on, two out. now a base hit could put toronto on top. chavez, 1-for-4, opposite field base hit. and the play of the game by willie harris with millar aboard leading off the 5th, the reas

former red sox are and oriole, kevin millar. >> rob: a very clutch performer right here. you're joel, you want more work, you've got to get some outs. that a boy. pump it in there. get ahead. >> bob: kevin millar this year is 0-7 as a pinch-hitter, .428, four homers, 28 rbi's. rios at third, overbay at second and barajas, first. 0-2! he's been great in situations like this. i'd say most of those numbers did not come when the count was 0-2. fastball fly ball. got to be caught. willie harris and joel hanrahan might have just saved the game in the eighth inning. we shall see. >> rob: nice. ange 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. ( ding ) >> rob: we're back here a nationals park all locked up. toronto blue jays-washington nationals at 1-1. follow the

kevin millar pinch-hit. got him out. then, got a couple quick outs and then a wonderful play by willie harris on another fabulous catch out in the outfield two nights in a row. possible two game savers depending on the outcome this have one. >> bob: and joe beimel takes over. he'll be the sixth flannels pitcher of the night. -- nationals pitcher of the night. the toronto blue jays in extra innings, 4-3, 1-2 on the road. i'm too frightened to give you the nationals ledger on that one. 0-8. 0-8 and seven of those at home. i'm not sure i ever watched part of a team going 0-7 at home where you have the final at-bat in extra innings. that's unbelievable. here is the first pitch strike to scott rolen. top of the 10th under way. >> rob: hey, it's contagious. you start playing well, you don't want to be the guy that fails. young pitchers have start this had deal going on the road trip and continued into this home stand. >> bob: right in there. a lot of those extra inning games were see saw affairs, high-scoring games where you s

so does ross detwiler, so does kevin millar. dunn will have to hurry. he is thinking two. he will make a big turn and comes back. >> rob: maybe a couple of years ago. i don't think that kevin has the wheel he did. >> reporter: ross detwiler gave up four hits, all singles. the big play was the double play last inning. now raul chavez. >> rob: they are still not getting great swings against ross even though that's the second time through the line- up. that shows you the kind of stuff he has tonight. >> reporter: this will continue a streak of ross detwiler's starts where the nats don't give him much run support. about 3 1/2 runs a game coming in. chavez takes a strike. >> rob: maybe he should take the starting line-up up. that's good gesture for a rookie. although. >> bob: you might want to pick a buffet place. willie harris, stalking it, there he goes again. willie harris, a diving catch. arrest that man. he has been larcenous three times this week. >> rob: this is just outstanding right here. a low dying line drive. he dives, possibly saves a run. that run gets by him, mil

then kevin millar comes to the plate and he hits a flyball which is caught in right field. then he gets another flyball here in still by chavez. he had a ety low pitch count. first batter, bautista, the pinch hitter, singled into centerfield. at that point, mapy acta came in and took aim out of the game. this is a quality start. this is one of those outings that they expected when he drafted him in the first round. >> johnny: dwight, two earned run, six hits allowed, threw 99 pitches. when you talk about the nationals' offense tonight, it seems like a highlight reel with willie harris taking the leading role in this particular movie. >> phil: again, thank goodness he did because some of his teamates were not getting the job done offensively. willie hits one to deep centerfield. then he steals third base without a throw. watch him here. stole that right off the pitcher. they didn't even bother to throw. and then your old friend, wil nieves, hits a sac fly. then in the 6th inning, an all doubles inning for the national. cristian guzman comes to the plate, strokes the ball dow

kevin millar next here in the 7th inning. this toronto ball club is not done hacking. as rob mentioned, they lead the major league in hits. the nationals, in 17 innings, have held the blue jays to 12 hits. i know, there we go again. >> rob: that's all right. i think the jinx is about over. you tried to do it last night. 0-8 in extra inning games. >> bob: by the way, ross detwiler retires 19 batters in the game for the first time. it's his deepest effort. t-shirt tuesday coming, nats and red sox. first 10,000 fans receive that curly w present the by hard science cafi. there are just a few tickets left. get them now. tuesday, wednesday, thursday. 202-675-nats. detwiler really got his pitch count down in the 5th and 6th innings. really, the 4th, 5th and 6th. 54 pitches the first three innings and only 4 total the next three. millar, flyball to right. lee -- elijah dukes. i always love it when the starter gets to hear the 7th inning stretch. and ross detwiler is almost there. raul chavez coming up. cecil, 93 pitches, 62 strikes through 6. but detwiler, a total turn around

because -- again, one of the great dialogues used to be when kevin millar used to go back to fenway park and -- fenway pawk and talk to curt chilg schilling and it's going to be real simple. i'll throw you two foul balls up and in. let you yank them foul. kurt could command his stuff and they were in off the plate. you can't hit them fair. if you do, you'll break your bat. >> gary: 0-2 delivery. way up high and away. 1-2. orioles bullpen, danys baez. orioles are in this. first game of three. guthrie a little offensive help here in the inning to make it a 4-2 lead for the mets and scott will take the pitch down low and a two ball, two strike count from pelfrey. pelfrey does a lot of wondering out there. he always comes off the mound entirely to get the ball back. obviously tonight if you're going to put your hand to your mouth, it's got to be done off the mound so he does that. then, walks around, gets back upon the first base side. 2-2 delivery. fouls that one off. took a little off that pitch. stays at 2-2. >> jim: think about it. the only other way to get moisture and it's the way i le
