wigginton. wigginton has faced green jt one. ty has had a pretty hot bat going, and he got the start tonight because he had decent numbers against livan hernandez. he walked one and struck out four, so he has a chance to be the winning pitcher, but the orioles threatening that right here. short stop cora looking in the dugout, saying where do you wt me? they are moving back on the grass at short. he's concerned about mora getting a big lead representig the potential tieing run in the game. wigginton takes it for a strike

i know he didn't. t at 1-2. that's the tieing run at second base. big sweeping breaking ball,t starts in the strike zone and just goes off the outside corner >> gary: 2-22 count. down low. green trying to get him to che a couple that were close, ande he wouldn't. orioles down a run. mora at second two down, 3-2. wigginton is gone as he pulled the string on him. green gets the strikeout, a rn in on two hits with the base runner left on at second. 8 complete. it's a 1-run ballgame. it's 4-3. 

>> gary: an outstanding game goes to the 9th inning. 4-8-0 for the mets, and 3-10 d

1 for the orioles. albers is now on the mounds. >> jim: matt has been awfully good, labrum tear last year, came in, this year, throwing the ball harder than he did, ich 't translate into pitching down to aaa norfolk, being smoother, ting the ball sink. >> gary: he worked in the first game of the series an inning, and gave up a couple of hits. one run game, top of t9th. and it will be castillo leadig it off, # for 3 about a single in the game, and it will be the top of the orwith cora and if you are minoleagues coming up --and murphy coming up. feliciano charged with a run. not going to get that one. castillo will make a turn and stay. scott was playing so shallo. no chance for him to get two,

but he is on with a single. 2-4 in the ballga. >> jim: highest hitter ever at camden yards cos in, it by melvin mora. here is over the front sidd not a bad pitch, just a bad result. >> gary: let's see how jerry manuel plays this. his leadoff batter, core cora is looking for : if he do bunts, and you walk murphy, i don't thk if you'll do that to get to bell tram, but i would think with your closer warming up, they want to get as many runners as you can. >> gary: he drops down a ful bunt. gets it to roberts. take that with the runner coming at him. sacrifice for cora. >> jim: that's why the tsgot anthat's why the red sox

had him. he can playshortstop, understands that he's not home run hitter, an awfully good ones. puts the pressure on mars tomake a perfect play. wigginton is anticipating the bunt. roberts is covering the bas. there he is, and -- the throw right -- that's why it's a difficult play. you have to pick it off. because the runner is going, supposed to be in the 45-foot line which is in foul territory. lot of guys cheat a little bit. >> gary: that ball was on the other side. that's a tough play by brian reports. murphy with another chance to make his manager look really good. murphy hitting in the two-spo. delivered the rbi in the 7th inning, a double. he struck out twice and flied out. now he has another rbi chance 22 runs batted in on the season, hits on the board for the

morning right here, you do not want to, hopefully have them d another run. beltran again, he's just not n unselfish hitter, the way he s used the field. he has doubled, singled for a rbi, singled and scored on another occasion. reached on an error and ground out. two down. he is a tremendous two-out rbi man hitting .381 with two away and runners in scoring position. big-time average. he's got a runner at third. 1-0 delivery. >> he took a look. mora was playing even with the bag, and took a look down to e where mora was playing.

now melvin is well behind the bag, but he was all the way up in here early on, and since moved back to try to to knock the ball down. >> jim: rarely do you see anybody pitching around cars ltran to get to david wright, but it appears to me they are going to -- >> gary: two of the best hitts in baseball. the decision is to go against the right-hander who hasn't bn particularly hot. he's only had a couple of hits in the series, and this game, he's 0-3. 2 for 13 in the series. >> jim: and matt albers has te kind of stuff, we've seen it d you've been talking about it. he's got that running fastbal.

>> gary: orioles trying to keep this an one-run ballgame to get to the bottom of the 9th. mets at first and third with two down, and wright hitting at .353. will take the pitch inside d low for ball 1. david wright will be making hs way to yet another all-star ge the starting third baseman for the national league here's th 1-0 delivery. way inside this time and the count goes to 2-0. sheffield is waiting on deck. >> jim: that's no bargain eitr >> gary: nope. write 1 forward 3 off albers. 29-0 delivery. taking some massive cuts. 2-1.

>> gary: ground ball andino and a good job by albers. no runs, one hit, no errors. two are left on. orioles, bottom of the 9th. can they do it again? matt wieters, first major run came last night. he will lead off the bottom of the 9th. oriole down a run. waterproof and sweat-proof sunscreen...

>> gary: series win and chance to head to philadelphia feeling good on the lynn in the bottom half of the 9th. mets have trailed but came bak in the 6th and 7th. and there's a base hit, wieters is going for two. the throw coming in is not in time. a double for matt wieters. >> jim: there's your. [ indiscernible ] remember the changeup on tuesday? watch this fastball. he smokes it. we always talk about the difference in the minors, how quickly beltran gets to the -- it's bang-bang at second.

and matt is able to beat the throw. nobody out, your tieing run. >> gary: second base -- wietes gets the double. his second hit of the ballgam, and nolan re -- rye mold will take it down low. he has gone 0-1 at a pinch hitter. but overall, .283, big offense of numbers for him, 7 home ru, 16 rbis, and 3 doubles. there's wieters -- hoping that runner took his place. felix pie will hopefully get t

tied. rodriguez looking back. reimold it get it by. >> this will be the 27th pinch hit for the orioles. mets have 88. all the bench players. double switches. no dh. >> gary: 2-0 count to reimold. and it's ball 3 outside. reimold will be followed by brian roberts at the top of te order. 23,009 on hand, the announced attendance. 3-0 delivery, reimold taken al the way. and it's in there for a strik. like livan hernandez who stard the game, rodriguez a lower average by hitters when there

are runners on base. 83.083 with runners on. .197 when bases are empty. there's the 3-1 delivery. reimold will take it. ball 4. two on, nobody out, 9th inning. here is how the voting is g. you can still text in your vo results owner the os extra post game show. >> jim: the pitching coach is going to come out, and how wih we going to defense this bunt? if you bunts them over, if you're dave trembly, you comep th the same situation, except with one out. adam jones who has been

struggling come the to the plate. -- coming to the plate. you have all kind of strategy. >> gary: this is where the philosophy long time in baseball, home other visiting team. philosophy has been you're the home team, you get the last at-bat. if you're playing in a situn like this, you play to tie. because the game can on the ground on. if you are visit, you play to win. that means you do bunt. let's see. first and third creeping in. nobody out. brian roberts swears, drops i. a fair ball. chance at third, and no, they did not get pie. and david wright is going to argue about it with the third base umpire and so is jerry manuel. >> jim: not very long. engineer we've already seen livan hernandez -- jerry is not happy. here's the play right in front of him. i'll tell you what, the pinch

runner makes a difference. it appeared to me he was out. not a great bunt. bang-bang. jerry comes out, and but to no avail. >> gary: the orioles have not won a ballgame this year where they have trailed after 8. they are 0-34 trying to win a ballgame trailing after 8 innings. the bases are loaded, nobody out. adam jones who has had a 0-3 and walk in the ballgame, anything here to try to get the run in, the mets will play the infield in. try to get a grounds ball at least one at the plate and mae a double play starting at the plate. 4-3 mets lead.

rodriguez, jones will take it. down low for a ball. >> jim: remember, of all the orioles, there you are, runners in scoring position. great thing about this situation, you can tie it up without getting a base hit. >> gary: anything here. >> jim: pretty gutsy play bringing your infield in. >> gary: open up the chances. jones wants a timeout. >> jim: and maybe this is jery manuel trusting his closer. but it doesn't look like rodriguez is on the top of his game. >> gary: reimold, pinch hit, walk. 1-0 delivery. a big breaking ball. 1-1. >> jim: what a gutsy pitch there. changeup, that's what he thw

thursday night. that's a pitch he dealt about three years ago. a good pitch. >> gary: 1-1 count. infield stays in. jones and it's 1-2 and he didt get a good cut at that. >> jim: back to back changes. and the arm action is so good. location certainly doesn't hurt. it's like the changeup hits wd sheer on the way to home plate. when you throw 95, 97 -- tuesy night, throws breaking balls early, and ended the game with the fastball right by him. >> gary: pie, the potential tieing run at third. here is the 1-2 delivery. jones will take it. it will miss. and the count will go to 2-2.

rodriguez has been seen by a number of the orioles before s he was pitching in the american league, angels. he has 1-1 record against the orioles. and he has 11 saves and 12 opportunities against the os in his career. 2-2 count. delivery to jones. 3-2 as he fell away after he t that one go. >> jim: interesting numbers for jones, we showed you the , that was with runners in scorg position. with a rub under on third, he hit -- with a runner on third, he has yet to get a base hit. he's 0-6 with the bases loaded. that's unusual when you have the year he's having.

p. >> gary: 3-2, nobody out. rodriguez deals. he walked him. >> the game is tied. >> rodriguez second blown save of the year! this one comes on a bases load walk to tie the game up at 4. >> jim: i thought he would throw him a changeup, and he tries to throw him a fastball, and just misses. certainly a little frustrated. >> gary: the orioles now with everything on their side, the outfield is going to be moved way in. we may get five infielders in. they have to bring beltran ino play in the infield, and use just two outfielders, because one more, and this game is ov. so beltran, the center fielder

will play at second base. and that will leave martinez and church in the outfield. >> jim: and they have to play where they can catch a line drive and still be able to p the runner from third from tagging and scoring. >> gary: the orioles try to win their first ballgame coming from behind in the 9th. here's nick markakis, bases loaded. marks will take it for a ball. still, nobody out. jones with the bases loaded walked, picking up his 42nd rbi, potential winning run ont third base, reimold. and the orioles a chance to te the series, have a good home stand, and get a big win. 1-0 delivery to markakis. that missing. 2-0. >> jim: pretty frustrating night after going 4 for 4 for nick with a couple of strikeouts, couple of ground balls, and, n

a wonderful situation right here. to change all of that frustration. p. >> gary: you're seeing a guy struggle that usually doesn't- 0 count. markakis waiting. takes it, he was going to make him throw a strike. there's no rush for nick markakis with nobody out heren the bottom of the 9th. and the tieing run in. >> jim: pretty gutsy pitch, 2-0 changeup. >> gary: there's the potential winning run. reimold who drill the first of two walks -- drilled the first of two walks. big cut, 2-2.

>> gary: this series is finishing the way it's been played. there's been quality baseball, and exciting games with the tm splitting the first two 6-4. 6-4. benches up on the railing, both ways. 2-2 delivery. markakis takes it, and he's done. one down. >> jim: that's pretty impressive. 2-0. terrific hitter at the plate. and he just places it knee hih in the outside corner. so it's, they always talk abot the game being somewhat humbling. back to back nights, it shows you how quickly it can turn. >> gary: aubrey huff coming up. interesting year. keeping beltran in, now they're going to move him out. now they have a chance for the ground ball double play. so beltran will leave the infield, and go back to his

center field position. >> jim: you play in at firsd third because if you can't tun a double play then you have te potential chance of forcing a forced play at home. >> gary: aubrey huff is 1-4 of rodriguez. huff has had a double in ths ballgame, two for 4 with a double and single. still only one down. which just. [ indiscernible ] >> gary: one away. huff to right field, base hit. here comes reimold, a great c back win for the orioles! for the first time this year! have won a ballgame when they trailed after 8. they get two off rodriguez n the bottom of the 9th, and they win it 5-4. >> back to back nights. huff's
