4:31 pm
of shields. four doubles. you mentioned dukes, a couple of doubles. gone shall a double. detwiler threw the ball extremely well today. he walked five. three of the five scored. in one situation, he got two quick outs, then walked gross. kapler hits a close line shot. it's part of the ball park where it's the only place you could have possibly hit it to be a home run. the wall is only four foot high. we keep looking for excuses. these things keep coming up that are unyou shall. >> it gets to become beyond belief. you sit back waiting for something to happen and it does. >> it's getting to be laughable
4:32 pm
that it's something crazy everyday happens. they squeezed, it was successful. we had guys covering. the deal with the bullpen, you've got a stadium there, your bullpen coach, all kinds of people down there. the bullpen catchers can't get out of the way. willie harris runs over those guys. >> you can't leave it to the tampa bay kid clear out. i'm not sure he said that. we'll go to bob carpenter and rob dibble. how about the offensive side, the stick of gonzalez? >> by the way, johnny, we're pretty sure the kid said yikes not get out of the way. detwiler, and a lot of other
4:33 pm
young guys on display here. gonzalez is one of them. this is the future of the franchise. he sticks out the bat, hit it to right. he crushes this into the left center field. when a young kid like that can contribute three rbis in the game, you know these young kids are really special. you have anderson. >> every ball club needs a willie harris to move around. he was outstanding before the bad luck ball hit the bag. >> great player right there early in the ballgame: right here he starts a great double play. what a feed. you're never playing 3rd base. he's throwing these balls like he's been there for years.
4:34 pm
willie harris gets a bad break here. they get the go ahead winning run. that's pretty much everything going on for the nationals. they come to the ball park yesterday and learn that josh willingham's brother dies in a car wreck. it's been one thing after another. >> i know ray played at the old stadium. our young players cannot go in there tuesday and be intimidated by that place. >> bob and rob, have a safe trip. we'll talk to you tuesday. bob and rob set off to the yankees stadium. let's take a look today and see what happened with detwiler's performance. good enough to win a ballgame. >> he gave up five walks.
4:35 pm
he was effective early on. 93 miles per hour to burrell. 92 to gross. 92 to navarro. then throwing the changeup, breaks his back. b.j. upton singles to center. steals second are 2nd. nick beat the ball to 2nd. no throw. this guy is electric. hitting .211 coming in and doing all that. in the 4th, fly ball to center field. kapler singles over gonzalez as he tags up there. kapler not only hit the home run, he was out of baseball a year ago. he came back and managed in the minor leagues. hernandez gets over there.
4:36 pm
that plays the tying run. in the 6th, pena pops to willy at 3rd. looks like the inning went smoothly. on 5 pitch, he walks gross and clothes line on a fastball. actually a changeup as i see the 83 miles per hour there. ground ball to 3rd, 5-3. ross putting up good numbers, didn't strike out anybody. he came in as they talked about the walks. he loses a little concentration. he's got really good control. he kind of hits the spots where he walks people. you've got to throw more strikes. i don't know how he gets in and out of rhythm. he'll be retiring 10 out of 12

0-3. willie harris 0-4 with a couple of groundouts. sometimes the little things pay off big time in major league baseball. we'll see today a couple of instances where the little things did pay off defensively as well as offensively. >> you remember we haven't had people covering at times. hernandez getting to 1st to get the out. nick goes on a short fastball going on the first move, getting down there, beating the throw. that's what tough do in baseball baseball. he's gone. he's safe at 2nd. that sets up rbi situation. detwiler whirls and throws here not showing any signs of being a rookie as he makes the right
4:42 pm
play. you mentioned he had to preplan that play. >> a couple of weird plays developing. one is the pop down into the nationals bullpen. the other is the ball hitting the 3rd base bat. >> it was weird. here's a pop up down into the bullpen. the catchers aren't aware of anything. a little cut block there as one of our catchers can't get out of the way. the ball hit down the line, right there. willy has it squared up. that's what happens when you're playing poorly and things aren't going your way. it continues to just rain bad happenings. >> let's look at the nationals bullpen today.
4:43 pm
tavarez came in as well as villone and beimel. >> our bullpen looks pretty good. the bullpen, we keep talking about young pitchers keeping us in the game giving us a chance to win. their bullpen retired 15 of our last 16 hitters. the only man to get on base was hernandez with a walk. >> i think somebody else had a tough day today. santana with the mets. nationals fly to start a series tuesday night at yankees stadium. jimmy, it's on. - it's on. - oh, yeah, it's on. affirmative, it's on. announcer: southwest airlines announces new service out of bwi airport,
