seven home runs in 400 at-bats and 15 his last two years. >> a lot of guys, when you're playing team baseball, a different hero every night. willie harris has been spectacular defensively and it's been amazing to watch this guy. he came through in the clutch when we needed him most last night, got the double to get us going early in the ball game and steals third and puts himself in a situation where the number eight guy can drive in a sac fly and he took them

deep. he just said he was trying to hit a line drive. that's what we talked about. try to hit a line drive and the ball will carry. >> happy father's day. how about this? how about josh and rick wellingham, hit the ball and give me 20. then there's adam and brady dunn. happy father's day, guys. at chrysler, we build viewmasters.

we build motion detectors. we build troop transports. we build moving vans. we build tv stations. we build the 25 mile per gallon chrysler town & country. come see what we've built for you.

the blue jays are hitti .277. only the angels higher in the league. frimairefor parties martis, he was in line. >> it just didn't happen for him, but hopefully today he'll go back out there and have the same type stuff. it's been over a month since he got his last win. he's got to master the strike zone. he threw a lot of pitches last time, 53 strikes, 53 balls, and now he can trust his defense.

if you make a mistake, we've got guys that can run it down, so don't worry about it, throw it over the plate. >> speaking of good defense, willie harris back in center field today. dunn and kearns blanking him. ryan and nick at the corners and josh josh behind the plate. we'll call it 76 degrees at game time. last five games, martis got this going. starters have been unbeaten. the teams four out of five, e.r.a. great. opponents aren't hitting, and it's a span of 33 and a third. marco scutaro steps in for the blue jays against steve mccauley

him. the top two hitters in the blue jay lineup are two for 21 this weekend. we're underway at 1:36. there it is, 76. pretty good breeze coming down part of the martis problems were his walks. had he controlled the strike zone a little better, he might have pitched a lot deeper. this one into right center, scutaro will drop it to the right of austin kearns. that's the first time the blue jays have had a lead off hit in the first inning in this series. buckner has the plate. he goes

up hacking. blue jays have a whole bunch of guys in the top 10 in the league in hits, including scutaro who just got his 83rd. hill has 92, and adam the number five man. change-up just missing. >> if they continue to try to hit the change-up the other way is when he has to throw more breaking balls and switching up the eye level. >> how about that note? now we're measuring guy's height in relation to the owners. >> that will be a 5-3 double

play. >> this is one of the dangers of starting the runner. he's dead if it's a line drive. that's exactly what happened. line shot to the third baseman, scutaro has no chance. he might as well keep on running right back to the bench. nationals turned two double plays, bases wiped clean, two outs. vernon wells with a 5-game hitting streak. blue jays starting to see signs of life from their number three hitter who came to town batting .246, three for 10 with a solo homer yesterday. martis gets the fastball up there 92 and throws it by him. >> he's late for that one at

92. nationals have improved their record to 5-6. in inter league they're 3-8. jammed him there. blue wristbands today as we team up on father's day to fight cancer. that is just foul. >> a slider or maybe even a cut fastball, but wells was looking for something off-speed, and he just pulled it foul. >> took a good long look at that one. >> you've got to locate the pitch down low.

a good battle going here. wells, a .288 career hitter. two outs. early game notes for you, blue jays not enjoying their time on the road against the nats or back in the day against the expos. they're 19-4, if i have knowledge the league in homers. nick johnson is getting on base

like crazy and doing the job with runners in scoring position. >> a tight slider that just misses away. >> pretty nice pitch. >> a real nice pitch. he's three for 10 in the series and on a 10-game hitting streak averaging two per game. >> you saw him hitting 92 on the fastball. it almost looks like he's taking something off to try it get it over. i'd rather see the 92 over there. >> 3-0. i wouldn't be surprised if he gave the cleanup man the green lighterly in the ball game. >> smooth delivery there by martis. >> 89.

scott roland not hitting for a whole lot of power, so he's driving the ball, a lot of doubles like that. row lenroll len. getting too much of plate and falling behind, and that's a bad combination. >> 11 game hitting streak for scott rolen now. half the time or more martis has been scored upon in the first inning. >> we also talked about the

walks. when you start walking guys and then a hit and a blast and it's 3-0 real quick. >> 2-0. it's like being out after midnight. nothing good happens after it's 2-0. >> good change-up, decent slider and fastball. maybe showing a little too much too early, especially to a very

good hitting team. >> missing the corner. i think martis' body language indicates he thought he had a strike here. a good lock at it. it was outside the box, 3-1 now. this is getting dangerous. that's a high strike. runners on microsoft here. that might have been a little outside. >> you can't walk the bases loaded with rios coming up. he's been hitting the ball pretty well. you'd be just asking for

trouble. he's still going to have to establish a fastball. you're going to have to throw fast balls over the plate. you can't nitpick and think your change-up is going to bail you out all the time. >> bases loaded. he's heading for a 30 pitch first inning, and his pitching coach is headed for him! >> 's headed for a tongue- lashing. >> third base wells a walk, second base rolen a hit, first base lind a walk. there has not been one routine at bat in the first inning from the nationals standpoint. always one pitch away from getting out of it. >> there you go.

>> alex rios one for eight with a walk in the series. batting .273. big strong kid. rob like end his physical attributes to that of justin maxwell listed at 6'5", 215. breaking ball missing. thought he might be looking for a first pitch fastball. >> even if he is doesn't mean you can't locate one, throw it on the inner half or a little bit away, and maybe you get him to bite on that. but to throw an out pitched

breaking ball in the dirt first pitch doesn't do you any good. >> base hit. wells scores. rolen coming. there's a play. kearns has him, no! that was not one of austin kearns' stronger throws. it was right on target, but it seemed like when it hit the infield grass it just died, and then scott rolen, who's a very good base runner got around the tag of josh. >> good base running by rios. >> he had to come up a little

bit on the line. >> he's probably laboring a little bit. >> out of play. barred >> 3-1. this will probably be two more.

lind andry owes and rios. >> that's just a 3-1 meat fastball. we talked about mastering the strike zone. 53 strikes, 53 balls, 50/50 last time out for martis. that's not good enough to pitch at this level. you have to work ahead, and once you get ahead, even if you're a change-up type guy, you have to establish whether it's an 80-mile an hour or 90- mile an hour fastball, you have to establish the strike zone ahead of time with that fastball. >> he's only retired one-hitter of the first seven. rod b -- rod barajas the

catcher. >> never broke 85 miles an hour, but he had pinpoint command of the fastball, could hit it anywhere in the strike zone, anywhere on the out side edges to set up the change-up. he didn't throw so hard that when there was a guy on second, he didn't even have a catcher put down a sign. he just had the catcher put location. so it's pitching that's not being afraid to throw the fastball over the plate. >> that's trouble. dunn will get there. four in the first for toronto, and the nats have a long road back against a rookie pitcher. it's on. - it's on. - oh, it's on, all right. - it's on. - it is totally on. jimmy, it's on. it's on. oh, yeah, it's on. pilot: affirmative, it's on.

(tucci) count on the nation's fastest 3g network. at&t

1-1 to guzman. fifth in the legal .332 and four consecutive multi-hit games.

25 games with two hits or more for guzman, and that's fourth best in the league. ball 2. mets have an early run at home against tampa bay. the phillies are reeling, aren't they? baltimore at philadelphia. they just can't win at home. >> guzman lays one up the middle . >> how about your scouting report on ricky the rookie. nine home runs and curveball the number two his best pitch. he will change speeds with it, but he can also give up the

long ball. nine strikeouts against the phillies in seven innings last outing. >> johnson has had a great series, five for seven, an rbi, four walks. nick stepped out of bed this morning and is on base, the on base percentage .427. >> prostate cancer awareness day with our blue wristbands. >> no blue bats, though.

>> two balls. good eye by nick. it was a 38 pitch first inning, romero was warmed up and sitting on the bench. looks like he's stiffened up a little bit. >> batting .318, number six in the league with walks. that's got irritate somebody. 4-run lead, base hit and a

walk. he continues to get on base like crazy. it started with an intentional walk in new york the other night, and then he kept getting on base and getting on base friday, saturday, they finally got him out last night with a ground ball in the 8th inning. but nick johnson and he have become better friends than either had anticipated. ryan zimmerman, after he tied the franchise record, a rough weekend, zero for 10. they've been getting ahead and

then tricking him. he has had a hard time identifying the breaking ball and pulling the trigger. >> five walks in four innings, red sox won that ball game 8-2. that was an off-speed pitch and chopped into the ground. >> he needs to be patient. he needs something to get it to the right side of the infield and try to get it through the infield to move the runners up, but it has to be a conscious effort on his part not to
