the japanese professional league, he was pitching out of the bullpen. he had been a starter his entire career. >> jim: andino quickly gets across to get bonifacio. two men down. >> buck: koji uehara is scheduled to pitch on sunday. there you see the rest of the schedule. on masn 2 tomorrow as we wrap up this three-game series in south florida against the marlins and back home against the nationals friday, saturday and sunday. friday and saturday on masn hd and masn 2. both games start rat 7:00. sunday, masn hd and wjz and dc 50. monday, the red sox back into the american league play as interleague play will be over. >> jim: this weekend, we will once again combine our masn crews. bob carpenter and rob dibble will join us at camden yards. two outs, nobody on. ramirez up. takes ball one.

there's a strike. berken has allowed three runs, two earned, one unearned. marlins have four hits. orioles have four hits. berken has hurt himself. two walks, each have scored. hanley ramirez now has a six- game hitting streak. he has the best average in the national league with runners in scoring position. he came up in the first with two in scoring position and got them both in. berken faws falls behind him 3- 1 -- falls behind him 3-1. ramirez with his 10 home runs. that is more than any other shortstop in the minor leagues. -- major leagues. it's there's a strike on a breaking ball, 3-2. >> buck: backup breaking ball

kind of confused hanley ramirez as it broke kind of in at him instead of breaking away. he got underneath the breaking ball and spun back towards the hitter. not exactly what you want to throw every time. those often end up in the seats. >> jim: here is the 3-2 swept foul. >> buck: that's a better breaking ball. he mid a quick adjustment. threw one down in a very good spot. just his sixth start of his young career. i think it's interesting that berken has made some pretty good adjustments. there's the adjustment on the slider as ramirez is out in front. just got the top half of the ball. >> jim: high fly ball on a hang breaking ball. there's pie charging in and the center fielder takes control and the inning is over. so, a second three up, three down inning for jason berken. we're halfway through. five innings complete now in florida. marlins with a 3-0 lead. commute.

nolasco, with a 3-0 lead going to work on a pinch-hitter. nolan reimold here leading off in the sixth. the night will be done for jason berken after just five innings. quickly 0-2 on reimold. >> buck: this is the reimold pinch-hit here early in the ballgame. he's the least experienced off the bench, and you just send him up there to try to get on base to lead the inning off. not pinch-hit a lot in his career. just send him up there hoping that he can run into one and start the inning and turn the lineup over. save your more experienced hitters for later on hopefully in a game-type situation with a chance to win the ballgame. >> jim: just outside. reimold and luke scott are the two players on the this team

that will be thrilled to get back to baltimore on friday and get back to national league rules -- american league leels leagues. the american league with no dh have affected those two on the team more than any other because dave trembley has been flip flopping them to get them both in the lineup. >> buck: it's a real challenge for american league manager to play interleague games because you have -- because you have to try to keep everybody as sharp as possible. it's your every day fielder nolan reimold and every day dh luke scott and you have to juggle them with one position. >> jim: 1-2 breaking ball bounced to third. charging is bonifacio. throws on the run to get reimold. one away. bonifacio has looked good at third base in this series. >> buck: yeah, he has. he's committed 12 errors. we have seen him probably his -- play probably his best defense at third in this series. shows a lot of range. he shows a lot of athleticism throwing on the run right on the mark to jorge cantu.

>> jim: vmd down. one away. there's mark hendrickson getting loose to come on to pitch in the bottom of the sixth. backs to the top of the lineup for brian robertsment when you talk about those two players, reimold and scott, scott only plays left field. so, if he's going to play, that means reimold can't. it's not like wigginton can play third or first or robert andino playing shortstop every day because izturis is out, but he can also play second base w luke scott, it's either left field or dh. >> buck: on sunday in philadelphia, reimold started in place of nick markakis in right field, and scott did play in left at that point. they will be happy to have more consistent at-bats for sure. >> jim: reimold is just 3-13 on this trip. roberts works the count to 3-1.

nolasco has struck out six. he has not walked a batter. mentioned he's averaging eight strikeouts per nine innings on the year while averaging 2 1/2 walks. roberts fouls it off. >> buck: you can see by the way he pitched here tonight how he's capable of winning 15 games in the national league. he has all the pitches. epps he has a quality fastball. his location has been exceptional tonight. it was just a real tough start for him this year. >> jim: 3-2 pitch. high, popped foul. >> buck: excuse me, jim. they sent nolasco down to the minor leagues on the 23rd of may. everybody said, man, that's a pretty dramatic move for a guy who won 15 games. i think that move sent a ripple affect through the entire team. it's about production here in the big leagues. they had an option left on nolasco obviously, so they're not going to risk losing him. a little message saying we've got to have you perform better

than you are right now. he went down and made two starts and been better since. >> jim: i think when you are you begin to think you have it figured out, you begin to go backwards. >> buck: that's for sure. this game will sneak up and bite you in a hurry if you just don't have the same approach every day. you think about it. you'd say i just don't know when my next start is going to come so i'm going to really cherish this one. >> jim: to deep right. it's over coghlan over his head. he plays the carom. roberts tries for two. here is the throw. he slides in with a double. pretty good throw by coghlan who saul saw that ball sail over his head and somehow played the carom perfectly so roberts picks up his 25th double. >> buck: this ball really took off on coghlan. remember, he's an infielder playing in the outfield. he kind of drifts on the ball. the ball sails and hit right at the bey base of the wall. if he turns and burns like luke scott did earlier in the game beings he might have a chance to make play on that because it

did not hit high on the wall, but he gets a good bounce and makes a strong throw but not in time to get roberts. >> jim: so, brian has a two hit night, a single and a double. it's felix pie who is 2-2. pie starting in center field tonight. that's a strike on the inside corner. >> buck: two hits tonight. only two hits in his previous nine games. his playing time has been reduced dramatically. >> jim: roberts at second. orioles trying to get on the board here in the sixth inning. pie takes. gets the call. 1-1. nolasco won one here at

home. his other two on the road. he is a winning pitcher in his career as he battles pie here with a runner at second and one down. 2k3wr0u7d ground to first base. fielded there by -- fielded there by jorge cantu. pie is retired as roberts moves to third now with two men down. this copyrighted telecast presented by authority of the orioles may not be reproduced or retransmitted in any form and accounts and descriptions of this game may not be disseminated without express written consent of the orioles. once again, a two-out base hit as roberts reaches third second time in this game he's been there. markakis not only is 0-2. he's struck out in each at-bat>> buck: he's under .290 now. it's been a real battle for him of late.

that's what this game is all about making adjustments. >> jim: curve ball in there for a strike. he's just 4-17 now on the trip. 0-1 on markakis. nolasco checks roberts. that one too tight. nolasco does have two pield wild pitches on the year. staying from the stretch, he's keeping roberts as close to third as he can. 1-1 on markakis. curve ball outside, ball two. >> buck: ricky nolasco over his career, june has been a good month for him. he is 7-4 with a very good e.r.a. in the month of june.

e.r.a. still good in september for his career, but may, 8-86.13n april, he's not an early quick starter for sure. april and may his two worst months. >> jim: fastball for a strike. 2-2. >> buck: when ricky nolasco made good pitches on markakis all night long. paints that just side corner with that 93-mile-per-hour heater. >> jim: markakis again with a chance to get the -- get the orioles on the board. now the count 2-2. ground ball towards the hole. bonifacio has it go off his glove. he picks it up. he throws. it's beyond the first baseman cantu! roberts scores. markakis heads for second base! the orioles get a break. >> buck: yes talked about how well bonifacio had played in

this series. that's an error. it will be his 13th error of the season as he bottled it, -- bobbled it, picked it up, rushed the throw. looks like nolasco was going to be out of the inning. bonifacio had it go off his glove, off his knee, picks it up, throws it in the dirtment cantu has it go off his knee. markakis reaches on the error and then goes to second base on the second error i believe. they could probably give them two errors on that play. >> jim: the angle of the replay we saw, if that throw is true, markakis is out because the throw without a doubt beat nick to the bag. >> buck: just give him one error. throws to second base on the overthrow. >> jim: now, huff stands at the plate representing the tying run. another runner in scoring position as markakis gets to second. curve is low. 1-0.

aubrey last night at had his hitting streak altered. he was 0-5. as buck mentioned, it was almost unfair 0-5 including dan uggla diving to stab a long drive -- line drive and rob him of a base hit. good eye. takes low, ball two. >> buck: obviously a big two- out hit here we have a ballgame. one-run game. i don't know if we mention this had or not. matt lindstrom charged with the blown saf save in last night's game after the game watts put on the disabled list. he is out for 15 days at least. leo nunez, who also pitched in the game is probably questionable for tonight's game out of their bullpen. >> jim: ball three. firestone league leaders as aubrey huff bats. go ahead rbi's in the american league and there's aubrey huff at the top with justin morneau at 14. markakis has 14. right here, aubrey huff represents the tying run at the

plate. trying to get a two-out base hilt. 3-0. he takes ball four. that one off the plate outside. there's the first walk of the game by nolasco. now, here is where the orioles have to really make the marlins pay as mark wiley, the pitching coach will come out. florida took advantage of the orioles error in the first inning and got two runs in. now nolasco who should be out of the inning with no runs on the board, has a run in on him unearned, but it's still in and two on with two out. >> buck: he's thrown 86 pitches that. shouldn't be a concern right now. i think more than anything, mark wylie wants to give him an emotional break and let him catch his breath and regroup with two outs, two on. talking with john baker right now about the game plan for melvin mora. mark wily knows him very well. he was a pitching coach with the orioles.

>> jim: melvin has one hit tonight. an infield hit. you see bonifacio at third. so, he's now hit in three straight games. this would be a good spot for the home run drought to end. it's now 144 consecutive at- bats without a home run. mora represents the go-ahead run at the plate. good breaking ball. 0-1. >> buck: looking for that first pitch fastball. nolasco starts him off with a breaking ball. melvin had a good run against the marlins hitting .348, 13-15 last games against the marlins he's collected hits. >> jim: takes outside. 1-1. nolasco has allowed nine home runs on the year.

markakis at second. huff at first with two men down. five by lefties, four by righties. 1-1en melvin mora who probably would be happy for a ball to the gap. line drive. base hit left field. markakis being sent by juan samuel. bawl ball bobbled by coghlan. that will be an rbi single and it's a one-run game. melvin mora with a big two-out base hit. he has a two-hit night. orioles are right back in it. >> buck: they're playing with a lot of confidence. they can come back from deficits. we've talked about how they've come back against three coad closers over the last week. melvin gets that breaking ball. boy, just spins out over the plate. he drills it into -- drills it into left field. coghlan bobbled the ball. it was kind of academic. markakis got a good jump. he is going -- he was going to score anyway. aubrey huff had to hold his ground at second base. melvin mora delivers another

big hit. >> jim: so, for melvin, he picks up his 18th rbi. it's his 14th multihit game. here is luke scott. tying run at second. go-ahead run at first. curve for a strike at the outside corner. luke did not like the call by chad fairchild. here is tim wood the only reliever on the team last night who did not get in the game. >> buck: tim wood has not pitched in a major league game yet. so, if he gets in this ballgame, it will be his major league debut. >> jim: 0-1 on scott. foul. that one rode in on him. 1-2. that gives you the idea of the fastball movement on nolasco. when scott went after that, he had a pretty good sight on it. by the time the bat made contact, he was fisted. >> buck: nolasco did what hitters hate. throw strikes to both sides of

the plate. >> jim: scott in the hole, 0-2. two unearned runs in. orioles back in it 3-2. and he got him. scott down on strikes that. ends the inning. so, luke scott 0-2. orioles get two unearned runs. strand twoment bath brand new game middle of the sixth. 3-2, florida. ♪ ♪ who's watching? ♪ tell me who's watching.

>> jim: time now for our co freeze cam brought to you by frost-brewed coors light the

world's most refreshing beer. >> buck: it came in the third inning with cody ross hitting. uggla scores all the way from first. here is the freeze. his foot is across the plate before matt wieters can apply the tag. it's a good head's up play by uggla hustling. the umpire, chad fairchild, right on top of the play. >> jim: new pitcher on for the orioles. here is mark hendrickson. berken goes five innings. >> buck: hendrickson making his 17th appearance and mark hendrickson coming on here with an opportunity to keep this a one-run game. he'll work the bottom of the sixth inning. jason berken did a pretty good job of minute miegdz the damage after walk, error, base hit, down two before there was an out. >> jim: there's a strike. now, his job is to keep this game as is. here is a chance to possibly pickup a win. cantu, hermida and uggla

against hendrickson here in the sixth, -- so, two errors in this gamehave hurt each team. berken, two walks in his fiv innings and both came around to score. high fly ball to center field. pie back on it has a play. has it for the out. -- out. one down. here is amber. >> amber: in rick sigon. an interesting note. we noted that koji uehara might

not make a start on sunday. we've been told david hernandez has been pulled after the first inning and thrown four pitches with no apparent injury in triple-a norfolk. maybe put the twtogeer. maybe th're i thghi'd bring it >> jim: amber starting intrigue. here is a hit the other way by @jeremy hmia. %%> buck: stayi he dr down the left- field line. watch how he stays extend out over the plate. pretty good pitch. you can see the location down and away. he's able to keep it fair inside the bag at third. then slices down into the cornerment one out for hermida. his eighth of the season. >> jim: now, a runner in scoring position for florida. one down for dan uggla.

>> jim: that's a strike. >> buck: mark hendrickson last pitched saturday night. he had two big outs. he came in in the eighth inning against the phillies and got matt stairs to line out to third and then got jayson werth on a 4-6 fielder's choice to end the eighth. obviously, that setup the comeback in the ninth inning. >> after 2/3 of an inning, he was the winning pitch her in that game after zaun and roberts homered in the top of the ninth off ryan madson. >> jim: he's really pitched so much better out of the bullpen than when he first started. one down. ground ball foul wide of third. nice play by the ball boy.

dan uggla one of the main stais here in florida. we mentioned this roster continues to turn over. he's in his fourth season now 29 years old. they develop players very well and give them a chaps. as soon as any of the players get -- and give them chance. as soon as any of the players get to a point where they make too much money, they look to replace them. their hope is when they get their new stadium, that things will turn around. the problem is that stadium won't be ready till 2012. they still have two more years here. there's the prototype. the retractible roof which in this climate as we've seen the last couple of days will definitely be a benefit. 2-2 on uggla.

sharply hit foul. >> buck: yeah, it might create a new revenue stream for this ball club. more than anything, it gives the fans the ability to know there's going to be a game played without any interruption. they have a very widespread fan base and people can come from west palm beach north and down in the keys to the south and the stadium will be in scown town miami at the site of the old original bowl. it will be a more centrally located site. >> jim: 2-2 on uggla. fouls it off. even though the sight lines are pretty good, it's -- site lines are pretty good, it's a football stadium built for the dolphins. it's a rectangular stadium that they adjust to put the baseball diamond in here. here is the information on the new marlins stadium that will open for the season opener in 2012. >> buck: at that point, they will change the name back to the miami marlins.

a name they used in the international league for years. >> jim: there is a bloop to right. markakis won't get t being sent to the plate is wieters. the throw, tagged. he's out at the plate! they ran on markakis again and that time nick got his man. there's his eighth assist in the run -- and the run cut down. >> buck: matt wieters made a heck of a tag. he had a sense of awareness of where he was and went right to the corner of home plate with the glove. nick markakis has a strong, accurate arm. he comes in and fires a strike to the big target matt wieters. watch wieters' glove. it goes right to the corner of the plate. puts the tag on the toe of jeremy hermida. there's no question about being out. the umpire with great position, chad fairchild. you've got to continue to follow that ball into home and get yourself to a point where you're not blocked out by the catcher. >> jim: so, markakis' eighth

assist. and the tag by wieters and the orioles gun down hermida. cody ross now batting. uggla on at first. >> buck: that's pretty interesting. uggla's throw to first base after that throw no, cutoff man involved whatsoever as he became a spectator anticipating the rbilook at the throw to home, forgot to go to second. he should be in position for thescoring run with two outs and he's not. >> jim: ross, 1-2 with an rbi double. that keeps it a one-run game. good breaking ball off-speed pitch. that was a pretty good pitch to uggla. he just was able to serve it into right field. there's sanches beginning
