going to start pitching you i. and when you get the singles e other way, you get guys on base so you can drive in runs. but if you start hitting the good pitching away, they haveo make adjustments, and you get balls you can drive. >> gary: luke scott now trying to keep an inning going wite down and one on. scott 1-7 in the series. and that pitch is taken away livan hernandez has a 3-1 record against the orioles. he beat the orioles in '06 whe with washington and here at camden yards, he has a 2-0 record with a 3.92 e.r.a. this is his third career start here in this ballpark. like time, 152 wins, 140 loss, and you see how he loves to challenge you with the pitches away. and scott's not biting. >> jim: he would like to stay out of the middle of the plat.

2-0 at home, .355. citi field, on the road, still good record, e.r.a. goes from 3.30 to 4.75, but still 3-1. >> gary: that is in for a strike. >> jim: he almost uses that slider, you can see it at abot 82 miles an hour. uses it like a lot of pitchers use the fastball. he can throw it over with a different look. you're looking fastball, ant disrupt your timing. >> gary: luke scott, # home runs, .265 june. and he rips that into right field. he really climbed that one. church will get it back in. that was rate on the button. and two on, one down. wigginton coming up, and we'll check in with amber. >> wigginton in the lineup, and he has good numbers against the mets. remember, he spent time in the national league with the astros and the pirates. he's had 37 at-bats, hit .297,

also, livan hernandez played for 8 different teams, so ty has seen him along the road. he says i know what to expect with hernandez. he's going to try to keep you off balance, change speeds, go up and down, but knowing what to expect, i feel like i can tame him on. gary? >> gary: so he gets to face him again. he's 5 for 18. that to center field, the firt pitch. beltran is there. runners will stay where they are. wigginton retired on one pitc. and two down here in the 2nd inning. that will leave it up to matt wieters. wieters happy to are that one under the hr column. get that out of the way. now he'll try to pick up a rb, a two-out rbi with runners on at first and second base. >> jim: something he's failed to do. he's only had 13 opportunities, so he has the home run, but when he hits a home run, the runnes

at first. so still looking for a runner in scoring position. >> gary: two down. wieters will take the pitch, and it will miss for a ball. two game hit streak. you see the 2 for 7 he has matt with 21 walks off hernandez, tough to get a walk off him. you have to swing. third base will be cut off by wright. he's going to have to go to first to get the out, and he does. no score. ♪ cold refreshment is an unstoppable force. because every coors light can is cold-activated. when the mountains turn blue, your beer is as cold as the rockies. the coors light cold-activated can. enjoy refreshment at its peak. aaaaaahhh!

>> i just wanted to set that as a goal, go to college, and to be honest, getting my degree from clemson, i graduated there in business, and that was more gratifying than anything i've ever done. >> gary: we are covering the bases with jason berken, who s the starting pitcher for the orioles. martinez is up. 0-1 count. berken delivers. a chper foul. we are joined by kevin owe sullivan.

who was the coach at clemson. how are you doing? >> doing good. my pleasure. >> gary: an overview. i know you really liked, o like jason berken. tell us about your experience with him and the kind of persn he is. >> well, i can remember back, he was a kid from wisconsin that wasn't highly recruited, and. [ indiscernible ] recruited jason, and immedie impact. [ indiscernible ] >> he had the tommy john surgery. when he came after it, a lof times we talk in the major league, guys will throw better afterwards. can you compare him after as opposed to before? in your program? >> well, i only had him for oe year after he had the surgery, but before surgery, he had a really, really good arm. he pitched it in the 90, 92

range, and, but he had 3 pitcs for strike. the changeup was a work in progress, as most kids at that age. but he was very determined and obviously disappointed when it happened. but came back and threw well. and has done well in the orios organization. >> gary: luis castillo at the plate. 1-1 count. down low. kevin, i know that berken is somebody who likes to emphasize mechanics. i think you saw that in colle. is that fair to say? >> he always had a good arm. his arm action was always goo. he was a little over hand -- spun off the first base side a little bit early, but he had that good arm and he's worked

hard on the mechanics. >> gary: what a play, but not in time. brian roberts after that groud ball to castillo. he will beat that out and an one-out single. not much more brian could do with it. >> jim: a pretty good finish, and he's hoping brian makesa good play, and you does. that's what castillo is known for. especially from the left sidef the plate. he seems like he's very coach-able, and again, he's throwing about 94, occasionaly 95 tonight, but was he the tye of kid because this year he didn't even get invited to spring training. did he always have to over achieve at clemson because he wasn't highly touted? >> no, i don't think he had to over achieve here. we loved him from day one, and we knew he was going to be really good. the injury set him back, the e thing that jason has, about all the good ones have, he's going into spring training and -- he

didn't complain about not being invited, he didn't blame anybody. he took it as a challenge. i have to earn my way up. >> gary: and he got tested wih the tommy johns surgery. and you probably had to tell him. tell us how that went and what happened in the year he red shirted. >> he went down to meet dr. andrews, and i kept my phe with me. we were playing florida state, and he called me and told me that he had to have the surge, so i appreciated very much, that he called me during the game, but it was a setback. he took it hard, but never one complained through rehab and was meticulous about rehab. >> gary: 1-1. he has alex cora up. runner at first and one down.

berken's delivery is taken to center field. jones, a few steps to left. he's got it, and there are two away. >> jim: he was a terrific high school quarterback, -- how when you say he's no, how did you get him to come to clemson? >> there's a lot of recruiters out there. and tim went to a showcase in wisconsin, and he saw him and he's athletic, and he seems to tell -- i. [ indiscernible ] he keeps telling us -- [ laughter ] >> was he he looking anywhere else? going anywhere else? >> i'm sure he was looking foa few other schools. but clemson is a beautiful place. he fell in love with it, and e we signed him in the springtime, and after the late signing period, we were fortunate enoh

to -- he told us the story about driving 15 hours to go to a packer game where it was 50 below. i imagine clemson did look god in the spring. >> no doubt. >> i have to tell you, we just ran video of him dribbling a basketball. he was an outstanding baskel player and throwing a touchdown pass, so he does have the vid. we want you to know that. >> and badminton and volleyball, too. >> kevin, we really appreciate you joining us. it's great to have the insight on jason berken as we take a look at him during the ballga. best of luck to you at the university of florida. thanks for being with us. >> we're all proud of jason ad his family, and i hope everything works out well tonight. >> gary: swing on and miss. strikeout to murphy. that's two in a row against murphy, and four in the ballgame for jason berken. and we thank kevin sullivan, the

far. orioles will be going to philadelphia, to a park that surrendered 7 home runs. 1-0 delivery, and that will be in the outside corner for a strike. toronto won it with a run ie top half of the 9th inning. as everybody was banging the ball out of the ballpark. >> jim: phillies came in with great so fence as far as runs. >> gary: that with out to left field, that is hit hard, and good-bye, home run! robert andino, and the orioles have the lead on his first home run of the season. >> jim: we were tall you about the slider, -- we were telling you about the slider.

little hanger, speeds up the bat. how many times have we talked about that? look at that extension. he's getting on top of the high pitch as he gets a great pitch to hit, and smokes it into left center field. >> gary: what a job andinohas done. the 6th hit by the right-hander, and the os on top 1-0. leadoff homer in the third inning. brian roberts shows bunt as david wright is swung around n the infield at third so there was a lot of room third career home run for andino. >> jim: and only the third exa base hit. >> gary: 2-0 delivery to roberts. that's in for a strike. brian flied out his first time up. >> jim: we talked about circlg guys in the lineup. so reports been hitting well, but -- so roberts's been hittg

well, but you don't expect him to take you deep. >> gary: brian has not had a t in the series. he is 0-11 in the series agait the mets. and roberts has .287 batting average now. hernandez falls behind now in the 3rd inning. 2-2 delivery, and roberts tryg to go the other way again. puts it almost in the same place. >> jim: and don't think he didn't pay attention to that thirst strike call on nick markakis in the 1st. ball off the corner that wagnr called, so you cannot take a chance on trusting the umpire, because the ball off the corner has been called. >> gary: brian is third in doubles, and fourth in runs in the american league coming ino this ballgame, and as we mentions in his first at-bats, he's had 4 hits in 9 at-bats against hernandez, so good numbers off the mets securityalarmnow.com starter.

-- mets starter. reports to to second, somebody's going to cover first. pitcher does, murphy went aftr the ball. >> gary: one away, adam jones grounded out his first time u. hitting at .350, tenth best average in the league. >> jim: he's one of those, we talk about peaks and valleys. peaks were early. the valley is a 3 for 32 witha couple of singles and home run on saturday night. and he said i know i'm chasing bad pitches. >> gary: that one right into e

glove two down. markakis with two away and the bases empty. >> jim: let's look at that 1-2 pitch. he knew it was off the corner, and it was. the only divide that ultimately calls you either -- only guy that ultimately calls you either out or -- he said see you lat, and obviously, if you're a hitter, hitting instructor, you're going hey, make him thw it over. it was well earned. it went almost to the glove of santos. >> gary: that way outside. markakis with a 3-game hit streak, now 6 for 9 in the series. >> jim: you think livan ever perspires in. [ indiscernible ] >> gary: he just rocks along out there, and nothing seems to

change during the course of the ballgame. >> jim: very relaxed, lots of movement. very casual. >> gary: 2-0 breaking ball. you can see that curving. it starts about halfway in and catches the corner. >> jim: remember when el duque pitched for the yankees? i mean there's, el duque was more thin, but the ball gets p there, they change speeds so well. >> gary: grounded that one to second base. castillo up with it, and markakis is retired. but the orioles get the long ball. third of his career, and first of this season. 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 some troube with the high cheese. >> jim: how do you do that? you get ahead. 's hard to pitch a guy up ad in when you're behind him. >> gary: 2-0 delivery. and that was on the corner,. >> jim: well, maybe it isn't. >> gary: 2-1 count. this is the man that the mets would wants to have at the plate here in this situation 2-1 strike count, trying to hold e runner at second. and wright with the big cut. he's got a severe upper cut going. he's got one of the weirdest things going. he's number one in average, 5th in strikeouts though, puts more balls in play right now. that average is the biggest average ever, ever, more than babe ruth. 2-2 delivery, and the question

is, will he become the first player in 125 years of keeping the records to have something less than 20 home runs lead the league in average, go among the top ten in strikeouts, have -- swung on and missed. he's adding the strikeouts. he has two in this game. >> jim: how do you upper cut? you drop your back side, and e bath of the -- the path of the bat loops. that's what's going on here. it's a nice pitch. again, what jason berken coach is he, he always had good movement, great arm. just over -- now gary sheffield.

i'm a line drive hitter. but i've never seem him with n upper cut like that. 1-0 delivery. sheffield will take it for a strike. >> jim: just flying open with that front shoulder, thats irrelevant baits. why do you do that? you feel like you have to open up -- that exacerbates it. why do you do that? you file leak you have to open up -- you feel like you have to open up. >> gary: sheffield really is helping this ball club. part it the long ball,. >> jim: he hit it so hard so quickly last night. .377, but that's because the grand stand got in the way. >> gary: there's your changeup again. gary sheffield -- brian snyder

who catches, sheffield who hit his 500th home run earlier this year, he was saying wheni used to catch against him, i stood farther back because of the backlash. i never want to get hit with a guy that swings like that. >> gary: 2-2. berken, a long look. home run last night is 19th against the orioles. it is the 11th -- 11th moses's hit against here at camden yards. he's had 7 home runs, chasing mel.roll they don't get him. >> jim: when you stand up on e mound, and you have to throw, either on a ground ball back to

you, throwing downhill, so its easy. if you separate your hands o early, and of course, this isa snap throw, right there, his hands aren't together. you can see brian just tryingo catch it from going into center field. i would imagine that's a stoln base. because he wasn't going back to the base. >> gary: infield is drawn in d sheffield will foul that one right straight back. so beltran will be credited with a stolen base, butting a runnr at -- putting a runner at third and the orioles figure this to be a low scoring ballgame will try to cut the run off. the infielders are thinking o, my gosh, we're drawn in and lk who we're looking at. 2-2 delivery, sheffield and the off speed pitch is struck out. >> jim: awfully good curveball. curveball's been good out of e strike zone, good enough,

tantalizing enough. we're not talking about livan hernandez. he's done that, too, but that's about as good a 2-2 curveballs you can throw. didn't hang at all. >> gary: that's a new career high for strikeouts. the most jason had was three. he did that against atlanta last game in tron at the, his first game, he has 6 in this game. and he he listened to his manager, and i'm sure pitching coach about throwing that off-speed pitch more often. because it is working here in the ballgame. there's the runner at third. two down now. infield will back up. and a hard ground ball. it will be played by wigginton. the leadoff error is covered by berkenmy 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. ( ding )
