beyond. 2-1. one away. runners off 1 st and 3rd. that one in the air to left field. warning track. looking. that's going to hit off the wall. and bounces behind him. two runs will score. it will be a double. two rbis. and a 7-0 lead. >> buck: cabrera drives home two here. as he hit the ball right on the button. he can't get back in time. hits right at the base of the wall and bounces right back toward the infield. 1st base runners davis scores easily. ahead of him cunningham scored from third. >> gary: seven runs on six hits and cabrera 19 rbis. he's atnd base. kennedy double and rbi in the
10:14 pm
game. boy this offense is just chewing up the oriole pitching in these first two games. kennedy still only one away. batting at .343. and he will take the fastball for a strike. >> buck: doesn't make any difference who you're playing. if you're not making quality pitches to a big league club, you're going to get hit. when the orioles came to town the a's were at .239 as a club and don't look like that type of ball club now. >> gary: they are last in average in the american league. and 11th in runs scored. orioles pitching staff continues to struggle with the second highest e.r.a. talking hitting, the manager. 1-2 on kennedy. runner at 2nd. and the slider's going to miss inside. and count goes 2-2. two walks in the ball game have scored.
10:15 pm
nope, sorry. all three. berken has walked all three and they've all crossed the plate. 2-2 delivery to kennedy. breaking ball in the air. left center. oh, my. that wasn't a bad pitch but a great piece of hitting. kennedy's going to go to 2nd base. that will score cabrera and 8- 0a's lead. talk about waiting on a pitch. >> buck: watch how kennedy stays back on this ball. breaking ball out of the play. keeps his hands back. drives it to the power alley. all the way to the wall. back to back doubles now. 8-0 and that's going to be the end of the night for jason berken. >> gary: to the orioles starters continue to struggle. the orioles just cannot get adequate innings out of their starters to give their bullpen
10:16 pm
10:17 pm

(announcer) "switch to the nations fastest 3g network" "and get the at&t laptopconnect card for free". >> gary: so only three and a third innings tonight. jeremy gutly only two-thirds of an inning last night. david who has been in a starters role is now the odd man out. he's work out of the bullpen. and that one will get away from zaun. runner at 2nd will stay there.
10:18 pm
kennedy and the rbi double had two rbi doubles he's at 2nd. her man doze now out of the pen. the starter innings the fewest innings to start the orioles at 5, 3, 2. cleveland, oakland, white sox and tampa bay. that's what's made it so hard on the bullpen. that that pitch is going to be taken up high. still only one down. 2-0 count. eight runs on seven hits. drawing a walk scored. grounded out. hit an rbi. david shift is on for cust. and he starts 3-0. >> buck: david making his first appearance since his first year in probowl when he was in aberdeen in 2005. exclusively used as a starter. >> gary: and cust will take that one for a strike. >> buck: he's had enough time. he had plenty of time loosening
10:19 pm
up. he was up once earlier in the ball game. that should not be an issue tonight. >> gary: new role for david. here's the 3-1 delivery. and a ground ball to 1st base. aubrey huff will take it to the bag. runner will move up to 3rd base. and they're two away. right now look forward to tomorrow's pitching match up brought to you by mt bank understanding what's important. >> buck: coming off a great start in seattle. last 14 batters he's faced making a second big league start. just 22 years old. another one of the four starters here in oakland. will be anxious to back up that great start to improve his 2-0 report. >> gary: runner at 2nd base with two away.
10:20 pm
holliday is flied out, drawn a walk, he has scored. own land came into this ball game next to last in doubles hit this season. they have six doubles already in this ball game. that one's going to be a base hit into right field and another two out rbi. we told you. they get 44% of their runs on two out hits. and they are doing that in this game. >> buck: this is a great run producer hitting a good pitch. down around the knees and he rips it into right field after waving a breaking ball on the first pitch. he gets the fastball out over the plate and he just delivers. he is really starting to turn it up a notch. he is exactly what they thought about when they brought him here. >> gary: and that will move him
10:21 pm
up to 2nd base. wild pitch will be called. >> buck: you can see zaun set up on the outside. ball down and in. skips past zaun. a short hopper down and in. >> gary: nine runs on eight hits and all nine are going to be charged to the starter jason berken. three and a third innings. nine runs, seven hits, three walks, no strikeouts. all the walks three of them scored in this ball game. giambi hitting a .220. giambi had a bases loaded double in the third inning. picked up three rbis. and that will be taken for a strike. the oriole pitchers both berken and david have not thrown first ball strikes and have worked behind the hitter. oakland's taking advantage of
10:22 pm
10:23 pm
10:24 pm
nine runs on ten hits last night. already nine runs on eight hits tonight. and cahill will work mora, zaun and rime ill. grounded out his first time up. cahill had the sinker working in this ball game. mora will take the pitch up high for a ball. >> buck: cahill has been victimized by a lack of run support. seven of his previous eleven starts, but that's not the case tonight. hitters are giving him a little pay back. >> gary: this oakland offense has really turned itself around. 1-1 delivery. mora takes that to right field into the sun. cunningham trying to shade his eyes. wasn't going to have a chance
10:25 pm
to get that any way. this will be a lead off single for melvin mora. talking about the a's offense. look what they haven't done in the last four games compared to the whole restúthe season. runs, home runs, runner in scoring position. how about the e.r.a? that's crazy. >> buck: yeah. it sure is. that's how you get win streaks started. pitch the ball first and hitters"arnd and start swinging bats well. it's a ery ung promising pitching staff they feature now in the starting rotation. >> gary: zaun will take that down low. 2-0. zaun catching for this one. matt weiters expected to be back in the line up for the day game tomorrow. and zaun will take that down
10:26 pm
low and cahill falls behind 3- 0. it's only human nature that when you have this 9-0 lead focus ybcome just a little bit less. last thing he wants to do is block anybody at this point. 3-1. >> buck: yeah. that's comparative that the catcher doesn't allow him to lose his focus. he continues to use a very aggressive approach. >> gary: grounded fall. he comes back from 3-0 to take it 3-2. >> buck: cahill very simple approach. got a sinking fastball. and secondary pitch tonight has been a change up. we haven't seen too many breaking balls. he does throw a curve ball and hasn't had to use so much. >> gary: get a lead like this.
10:27 pm
it becomes more simplified for a pitcher. it's go ahead and hit this. try and get the outs as quickly as possibl throw strikes, don't walk. cahill with a 3-2 count. from ocean side, california, that's where he was born and raised. 3-2 to zaun. fouled back d no play on th t ins at zaun grounded out his first time up. orioles trying to get back into this thing. they did not get on the board in the ball game last night until the 7th inning. luke scott delivering his 13th home run at that time. and it would end up being the only only run the orioles have hit. again, foul territory.
10:28 pm
and again no play despite. >> buck: this is a very difficult situation with the oriole hitters. what you have to do is just think about starting to break out of this thing. even though you're down 9-0 and the chances of scoring ten runs pretty minimal right now. but at the same time you can build for the next couple of games just by having good at bats. >> gary: zaun to left field. holliday. zaun is retired. one down here in the 5th. mora back to 1st base. >> buck: you isn't say we've gotten beat tonight. you have to use some opportunities here to get something going. nolan will hit for the first time as felix pie batted in the
10:29 pm
first inning, batted a ball off his throat and had to be taken out of the game. >> gary: finished up his at bat but did not come back out on to the field. and he moves onto take his place in left field. take the pitch down low. and a 1-1 count. cahill is not walked anybody. he has struck out four. one shy of his high. he has hit twice this season. runner at 1st base, he's down to 3rd. hannahan, reload. kennedy. double play. [ cheering and applause ] no runs. one hit. no errors and nobody left on base. bottom after the 59 co u
