bottom of the eighth. the red sox coming to town. there's the big fellow from oklahoma on your left. coverage begins with nats extra hosted bijani halladay and ray knight. >> he's one of the first pitchers new york born to beat both new york teams in one year. >> first since jason marquis from long island back in '05.

>> so you got the red sox and the kid from new york. something's got to give. >> may as well go after new york and new england while you're at it. >> that's right. terrorizing the eastern seaboard, john lannan here's austin kearns, zero for one, but been on base twice. >> a lot of guys think we should have taken two out of three with the rays. >> the nats could have swept the yankees. tuesday night's game they had the lead. kearns batting .1 ninety two, but on base up around .330. hit by a pitch and a walk.

fastball up. 3-0. hits it well, but it's going to slice out of play. we saw jeremy in two scoreless innings friday night.

he gets jammed. easy to hill for the first out. austin kearns is zero for his last 15, zimmerman zero for his last 16. a rough go today for the numbers three and five hitters. alberto gonzalez will be in there.

looks like he's reaching for his groin. >> he's done. you can't pitch if you can't extend and land. you've got to be flexible and stretched out, and sometimes you go to just push off the mound, thinking well, i've done this tens of thousands of times, and that one time it gets you. that looks like brandon league. while he's doing that, we'll take a break. one out, bottom of the eighth at national park, blue jays lead it 6-2. rilled quesadillas, starting at just $6.99. like our bacon-ranch chicken quesadilla, flame-grilled tortillas layered with all white meat chicken, applewood smoked bacon, jack cheese,

took a little bit off. same location, same look, different pitch. strike 2. he had him reaching. foul tip caught, two outs. he's got a lot of good stuff, turning it over right here, and it dives right out of the zone of gonzalez. 97 or 95, have an 82-mile an hour change-up, will make you look like that.

harris first pitch swinging, skies it to left, and adam lind is there. they lead by 4, 6-2. po

i just want to wish all fathers out there and my dad happy father's day.

>> we move to the ninth inning. mike macdougall told me that his dad and he are very close. >> he's been great. my dad is my best friend, so he's my buddy. i call him every day, and he's just a great guy and i love being around him. >> he was also a senator's batboy and should be here at national park here next month, bob. >> senator's batboy, nice. josh willingham, get used to seeing him play right field, out there working a lot in the days to come. he realizes that his spot in the lineup probably depends on him switching over there. i think the nats really would like to leave adam dunn in left. with austin kearns slumping, he's going to get a chance to play over there when he gets

back into form. he will also get in an at bat because it's a double switch. facing aaron hill, one for four and two for 15 in the series. two balls, one strike. field lights on here at the ballpark. it's been cloudy for a while, but comfortable for our fans. well played. guzman to his left. better hurry. close play, one out.

our buddies would like you to join the party, thursday lady night and spectacular post game fireworks on saturday. this year also new, the solute to service tuesdays. all military first responders and teachers get free tickets. it's uncle slam's stimulus package. our potomac nationals.com, real baseball, real close. here's vernon wells, over the dugout. >> nice catch. little sister, look at her. sweet. probably dad's little one,

nice. he was a young-looking dad there. off-speed pitch. another change-up, nice. >> guzman, two outs. nice circle change-up he throws. when you're looking 95 and he drops the 84 straight change in there, it looks like a fastball. looking pretty good is scott rolen, another 2-hit game.

>> he didn't want to get to the change-up. he said first pitch fastball, thank you i'll swing. >> rolen five hits this weekend, and now on his 11-game hitting streak, he's 22 for 48. john lannan tuesday night. if you're seeking tickets for the boston sear risk don't wait any longer. go online and there will be five-dollar grandstand tickets that take place at the time store box office in left field every day just after 4:30 in the afternoon. 888-632 nats or nationals.com. scott rolen down to second base on a wild pitch. manny and his nats, unless they come up with a big ninth inning, will still have a 4-2

week against the yankees and blue jays. that one on the right a big ouch today. we talked earlier about situational hitting. two big at-bats in the first inning when romero struck out zimmerman and dunn with two men aboard. the nats had second and third in the second and bard saved the inning with a base hit. bases loaded double play in the 5th on a first pitch to gonzalez after the two previous hitters had walked. the nats have had very few opportunities since, stranding eight. >> the nationals had romero early, and he worked in a nice comfortable groove. >> i think he struck out zimmerman and dunn on pitches that were not strikes. >> and zimmerman first and

second with no outs, you have to move the runners up whether you've got to bunt them over or what. taking a strikeout was very painful. dunn goes up there thinking, i've got to get this done and you try to drive in two or least one, and he strikes out. >> yep. >> romero had trouble putting away this team all day, and then overall, like you said, one for 10 with runners in scoring position is going to be the story of the day. >> the pitching, ironic that we're saying this now. for the last week or so the pitching has been covering up for the lack of hitting, but then the nats have scored just enough to win. he got the first two, but a base hit, wild pitch and now a walk to adam lind brings up

rios, two up, two onment the blue jays are going home to play cincinnati, the phillies, and tampa bay. the blue jays have not been to yankee stadium yet. they're in the american league east, and they've only played 15 games in their division. they're 6-9. no balls and two strikes.

joel hanrahan with a count of 1- 2. rios hanging tough. white sox won, baltimore scoring late to win at philadelphia, phillies losing six in a row now. how about that? detroit at home beat milwaukee 3-2. not a good day for the national league. that includes right here.

tampa bay, 8-5 lead at the mets. atlanta five hey five in the ninth at boston, 5-5. houston about to win at minnesota 4-1, st. louis 12-5 at kansas city. american league ruling on this day so far. 3-2, 2 minute board. there's a base hit. he had retired the first two batters. the next three all make it aboard, and it's 7-2 toronto. when you're pitching in the ninth inning and down four, your manager wants to see the effort that you might give when

it's a 1-run game in the 9th inning. joe has not been able to close it out. >> it looked like a change-up, which you don't want to really throw a lot of those to right- handers because it breaks down and into them. that's what that was. as you said, you want to get the three outs and give your team an opportunity to bat in the ninth, but you just gave them an extra insurance run. >> nats were within grand slam range, but not now. 3-0. >> 27 pitches it will be a 3-2

count now as overbay rips one foul. that ball will be two more runs. overbay will have a five rbi

day, and the blue jays lead 9-2. manny does not want to have to get up another pitcher here. lyle overbay, 41 rbis with five of them today. rod barajas, the catcher, is next.

the nationals have come into this game with their team e.r.a. down. let's go back two weeks ago.

-- we're going to the bottom of the ninth. it's all toronto. by the way, a lovely shirt as well. >> thank you. 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 )

nats post game follows couple minutes. we good to the bottom of the ninth. >> under statement of the day, not a great day for nats pitching.

bottom of the ninth coming up. we'll look forward to nats extra post game. a crowd of 26,610 today. the nats drew nearly 70,000 for the 3-game series here. jessie carlson will take over against the nats, face switch hitter josh bard. rally caps are out. by the way, the nationals did play another error less game

today. those have been more frequent this week than lately. the pitching staff hit harderly and late. in between it was a rather even ball game. between the second and eighth, the nats and blue jays tied 2- 2. here's josh bard, lines this one hard to left. that ball is over the reach of adam lind, and josh bard smacking the ball around today. >> two singles, a double and a ball that nearly left the park. we'll see josh willingham up
