>> rob: riggleman likes what he sees so far today. >> bob: low to belliard. 2-2. 3 runs, given up in 8 innings, pitching staff sharp for the most part with theexception two home run swings by the bulks.belliard will -- by b. belliard 2-4 day. maybe he can show young mr. gonzalez the way and ge out. [ indiscernible ] so nats have their leadoff man on. for the 5th time today, her alberto. who doubled off the chalk lin in left field. driving in the 3ed run of that 3-run 7th.

breaking ball by hanrahan, right-hander buckling a bit >> rob: right here. [ indiscernible ] >> bob: he has not bunted for a hit in quite a while. and he's capable of that. or threatening to and getting hit. crowd of over 21,000, little quiet at the moment. appeared to be a sacrifice attempt, and it's 0-2. not a good pitch to bunt at a

21,894 for the pirates. that's a couple, about 2500 above their average of 19,3 >> rob: lovely afternoon. >> bob: it has become. 0-2, and gonzalez drives it to right center. mccutchen is going to get there. >> rob: gonzo is trying to move the guy to second, puts thel in the air, and they've got andrew mccutchen out in center. you can't get it by him.

>> bob: here's wil nieves, 0-3 today. willie harris playing left field, batting 9th on the double switch. ronnie belliard, 0-0 this year. pirates are occupied with him right now. so he's running on the next pitch. i like it! jim riggleman going for the

insurance here. out for a sunday afternoon stroll. the count is 1-1 to wil n ronnie is one of those guys w carries his batting gloves to keep his fingers closed while running and sliding. >> rob: you're not supposed to put your hands on the turf wh you slide, you'll break a wrist. >> bob: jam them into the b. >> rob: you hold them up. lots of guys go to that wrist/thumb hard plastic protection you can velcro ad your hand.

>> bob: 1-2 to wil. 0-3 for the strikeout. they've gone to the 10th inning in cincinnati. reds came back and tied that game with colorado. that's a good take by wil. it's hard to lay off pitching like that that are strikes  while before they take that break. 4-4 colorado at cincinnati, tp of the 10th. 

nieves who knows exactly what joel hanrahan's pitches are going to do, fouls off anotr one. hanrahan since coming over  pittsburgh, 11 games, 10 innings, 11 hits, 5 runs. 10 strikeouts, 4 walks. e.r.a. of 4.66.

2-2. wil nieves will get over powered and pop it up to the second baseman. we'll see our first glimpse of willie harris with a bat today. willie hitting .2 30rbgs 4 homers, and 14 rbis. he walked and scored a run in two plate appearances last night. started the game friday. had a rbi double and a walk. this may be a time when you wt a guy who is normally a singls and doubles hitter to take  shot and try to drive the bal somewhere. >> rob: sort of a no-lose situation for the nats. >> bob: the ball gets through, and he'll get a stolen bases first of the year.

belliard, his 39th career swipe of second base. i'm just assuming he never ste third. he's in scoring position  though. willie harris can change his approach, level off and hit ball hard for a base hit somewhere. hanrahan gets a strike on outside corner. pirates by the way, 4, 5 an due up in the 9th. macdougal has been ready forever .

hanrahan doesn't get the call, 3-1. i wonder if the catcher s in front of the umpire. willie harris coaxes a two-out walk. >> bob: i saw that on the score

board. [ indiscernible ] >> bob: how does somethin minus 5 inches? >> rob: maybe you get mine fuss 5 points for missing ball 4 and how do they do it so quick? >> bob: here's morgan. a chance to hurt his former teammates now. >> rob: horizontal break of minus 5, and vertical break o one inch. >> bob: too much informatio. >> rob: now we're getting out hand. >> bob: i'm sure some guy is sitting there programming it in who probably pitched 7, 8000 innings in the major leagues. 0-2 to nyjer.

that ball gets away, no swi and both runners move up on a wild pitch. joel hanrahan is having one whacky inning here. >> rob: he never did this stuff when he pitched for the nationals. >> bob: you're not a nice m sometimes. but -- >> rob: he just has a world of talent. >> bob: the classic example of what you talk about. stuff versus command. when the two don't go together, it's ugly. >> rob: he's about 50/50, fastball/breaking ball. >> bob: he strike out nyjer morgan on a pitch that gets away. and that close to pulli first baseman off the bag. bottom of the 9th coming up. macdougal trying to save it for the nats. home, you meant... we bring fiber optic all the way to the home.

um... which gives you more bandwidth than cable. so you can upload faster. so it's like comparing a horse and buggy to a sports car. am i the, uh, horse? (announcer) it's a whole new internet. makes uploading as easy as downloading. because your internet's not fast unless it's two-way fast.

>> we head back to pnc park, 5-3 lead for the nats. bulb and rob are back next. -- bob and rob are back next. >> bob: byron, thank you, ray, josh willingham's two swings, the big blows of this game, and the first one was a after a zimmerman single in the 7th. and rob, he wasn't through. no he was not. zimmerman on first again. instead of a homer, he make double, and ryan runs around  score. hammer stops at second.

your favorite hammer from alabama. and speaking of big men who can get it done, just for the fun it, you folk, this is a significant day in washington baseball history. tell but that in a moment a macdougal takes the mound, an is looking for save number 7. but he has to work through  and 6. >> rob: 4, 5 and 6, you don't have a lot of offense between the three of them. >> bob: on this day in 1907, a kid made his major league deb for the as far as by the name water johnson. the tigers beat him and first hit he gave up was a bunt singl by ty cob. and 20 years later, the tigers beat him on walter johnson , in washington, d.c. i think ty cob was long gone 

then. one pitch, one catch, one thr one out. macdougal gets doumit. doumit is 0-12 for the series, no reports on whether ty co proceeded to spike the second baseman on a steal attempt. >> we had the videotape, but -- sorry,. [ indiscernible ] >> bob: inside to delwyn youn 1-3 with a home run, 5th of the year. it's not often mike macdougal gets an inning started off li that. and that's a high strike that whistles right by the letters o that pirates' jersey.

he's throwing strikes. another ground ball. guzman. two outs. final hope for 9 pirates is andy laroche. laroche, 1-3 today.

and the 1-0 pitch. macdougal throws the strike. the count is even 1-1. target away from wil nieves. fastball, up and in. 5-3 nats, two outs, bottom of the 9th. ball 3. thing you don't want to do is walk anybody and give them the tieing run in the batter's bo

brandon moss has hit five home runs this year. it won't be a 1, 2, 3 night.  mike's previous six saves, i remember one being the one, t, three 9th inning. again, sosa, they are just stil down by a run. you don't want to put a guy o and bring the tieing run to the plate. >> bob: nationals play behind the runner, and macdougal mis

way outside. maybe just a matter of time before laroche goes down to second. moss 1-3 with a base hit today. and there's a strike. wil nieves picks it be a short hop. 2-1. hot stop. watch the backhand of wil nies

>> he's young, but as he ge older, you have to work to ma it look like it got by you. >> bob: 2-1 pitch. macdougal aims it at guzman. the nats get a break and th game is over. two hours, 46 minutes to win  5-3. breaking a 4-game losing stre. an about-4 road trip now. ankle the nats will have a chance to even things up on t trip tomorrow night. >> rob: know rallies did make the trip back to the ba jose morales is did make the trip back to the ballpark. >> bob: nats gather 8 hit, pirates strand 4, nats left and washington wins it 5-3, 33rd win of the year, and t third on this 8-game road tri.

the nats win it join us monday on masn 2 with the nats and pirates concluding this serie. we'll get you going at 6:30 wh nats xtra. visit masnsports.com. this has been a presentation  masn. stay tuned. nats xtra, byron and ray, and from the booth. so long.  welcome to nats xtra pose game show. the nats guess on the board, wins centers -- nats get on the board, winners over the pirates. nice comeback victory. they were in it to win at the

end. >> i like that. they were, and the fact is they were able to get big hits. stealing, and bergmann, coming in and do a heck of a job. jones and then also burnett getting a big out with the left-hander when he comes in there, and doumit, so everything went well. riggleman managing well, using a lot of guys as he tried the sunday lineup was done out and kearns stretch scratches because of a sore thumb. and that 7th inning, down 2-0. will hand, -- willingham, another power breaks. >> we got the big home run after the zim single. deep to left field, ground rule double, and behind him, breaking a 4 for 42 slump, i believe.

gonzalez doubled down the line. there's the score. they win it 5-3. shawn bur nets gets the victory, number 2. macdougal, save number 7. look at the numbers from willingham, 15 homers last year, ray with the marlins. he had that problem with 15 games. and zim continued the numbers for the nationals. nice to see gonzalez get a couple rbis. maybe that will help his confidence. >> i hope so. he has struggled as much as anybody, or more than anybody. he's pulling off the ball, looked like he was trying to hit everything hard to left field, and gets a pitch inside that he rips, so hopefully he's going to do something. if not, belliard is sitting there, and he can swing the bat. he had a huge year last year. year before last, so that's an

offense waiting to happen. what did you think of collin balester? almost got through the 6th, that one blemish with the home run from cedeno, but i thought he looked good. >> he did look good. he didn't throw a lot of changeups. we're going to rip through this. he strikes out mick clutch on the breaking ball. he chases milledge's ground ball, and gets jones on another breaking ball. doumit popped up. young with the ground ball. he gets in on him, and then laroche pops to second. he flew through the first two innings throwing 21 strikes out of 25 pitches. moss, a little bounce. fastball way inside, actually he's able to keep the ball -- first for the pirates, and then in the 4th leadoff walk to jones. young flying out, he is a cruised all day long. laroche pops foul, to guzman,

and right here in the 5th. moss pops up for the shortstop, he gets cedeno on a ground ball to 3rd. he continues to cruise. 6th, he didn't have a lot of pitches just how many pitches? 85 pitches gave up a simm and another single and a walk. jim goes straight to the bullpen, brings in burnett. bur nets gets the big out. and as you mentioned, became the winning pitcher just getting one big out as he was sable to get doumit to pop up. >> as we watched him, you said balester's fastball wasn't what it should be. but his curveball was biting at the right time. >> i think the fastball is his best pitch. he's lost some velocity. last year, i don't know if it was injury, or what, his fastball was 93-95, and manny

said he had the best stuff he's seen since vasquez. and so, but he's not throwing with that velocity. throwing 89 to 90, but the curveball was good. i never saw a changeup. pretty tough to pitch through 6 innings and zim talks about. >> we head back to bob carpenter and rob dibble, and guys, we membered collin balester, certainly kept things down, and once again, josh willingham showing power. >> bob: it tax good pitching and -- it takes good pitching and hitting. not forgotten is the job that wil nieves did. let's start with pitching, rob, your forte. what was your impression of balester? >> rob: the last couple of starts have been outstanding. he face ad tough brewers lineup,

and comes out today after too poorly started game games by lannan and stammen. fastball, curveball, establish the fastball, couldn't get out of the 6th, but that's okay. office there long enough to give the team a chance to win the game. he made one bad pitch, and that was to cedeno, and he got some coverage from the offense. >> this was not the best offensive game. they had more runs and more hits last night. when that happens, it just takes up with or two key swings at key times to win a game. >> rob: hitting in the 4-hole was josh willingham, he did a fantastic job out of this huge home run. he came out a little later and would hit a nice double for some insurance so josh willingham inserted into the 4-hole to give dunn a day off against a tough lefty. did a great job. i think that kind of sustained

contribution has been fantastic from the top of the order, we teed to get the bottom of the order going. gonzalez had big hits, and that's the bottom line. if we can get a sustained consistent concerted efforts from the staff and team, we're going to win some more games. >> the big swings of the day, josh willingham, he's with debbi taylor. >> debbi: bob, yes, it was tough with maholm early on. what adjustments did you make? >> he was throwing a sinker, and when you have a sinker ball, you have to concentrate on -- -- just try to stay through it. that's what i did. i was able it hit it out. >> deb better: -- debbi: and you got an insurance run. what's been the key to you hitting well? >> i can't pinpoint. i wish i could.

just trying to come out and play hard and get at-bat as much as i can. that's all i can control, after been getting good pitches, they have been finding holes. >> new york good outing by balester. what did you see out of him? >> i think the key with collin, when he gets ahead, he's very effective, and he was able to get ahead, and make them hit his pitch. that's the key when you talk about starting pitchers making them hook their mitch. >> and you know what it's like to struggle. what was it like to -- >> we've been through it, through the slumps, the only thing to do is keep battling and showing up. he was able to drive in a key run late in the game. because it was a good pitch. getting every run we can was huge. >> thank you very much. back to the studio. >> thank you.

as we look at the win for the nationals 5-3 over the pirates, the offense in the late inning got it going for the nats 4 runs in the final three frames. how did they do it? we'll take a close look as we continue with nats xtra right after so when you said you bring fiber optic all the way to the home, you meant... we bring fiber optic all the way to the home. um... which gives you more bandwidth than cable. so you can upload faster. so it's like comparing a horse and buggy to a sports car. am i the, uh, horse? (announcer) it's a whole new internet. makes uploading as easy as downloading. because your internet's not fast unless it's two-way fast. boss: come on in, i had some other things you can tell people about geico - great claims service and a 97% customer satisfaction rate. show people really trust us. gecko: yeah right, that makes sense. boss: trust is key when talking about geico. you gotta feel it.

why don't you and i practice that with a little exercise where i fall backwards and you catch me. gecko: uh no sir, honestly... uh...i don't think...uh... boss: no, no. we can do this. gecko: oh dear. vo: geico. fifteen minutes could save you 15% or more on car insurance. now that college is a few years behind me, it seems i've got three times the bills i used to. and they're getting in the way of things i'd like to do. with the money bar, i can move my money around instantly, so when there's more bills than usual, it's no problem. and i use the wish list to put any extra money aside for anything i want. being in control of my money feels good. introducing the virtual wallet from pnc, a high-definition, online view of your money. pnc. leading the way.

>> the nats winning 5-3 over the pirates, now 3-4 on the road trip. looking at the offense, paul maholm had them going well. nats found a way to solve things. >> we didn't do much early, we did get a run in the 2nd. dukes singled to right, as he just drives the ball to the right side. belliard -- watch the slide, as he goes hard. takes him out, no chance, that's

how you do it, boys and girls. i love that. gonzalez gets a fielder's choice, and scores a run. rbi, we're up 1-0. we did put the run on the board. zim is -- willingham gets the ball he likes. he's seen a lot he likes. big home run to left field, two runs, go up 3-2. then it didn't stop. you see him staying back all that power. he's a strong man. belliard doubles over the head of milledge. gonzalez then 4-46 slump gets a fashion ball down the third baseline, doubled into a rbi. 8th inning, zim, who else, walks on a 3-2 count. ball down and away. then willingham doubled.

zim scores from first base. third rbi for willingham, and it puts the nationals up 5-3, and were able to hold on as macdougal game in to slam the door. >> the box score here for the nationals. the big thump, the home run, dukes doing it on the base pass and single, belliard with a double, and gonzalez, two rbis today, and there's the rest for wil nieves and balester. nothing at the plate for nieves, but behind the plate, he was responsible for squelching rallies, making some big plays. >> he doesn't necessarily get paid to hit. he gets paid to handle the pitchers, and to use that arm, and he's finally getting a chance to throw people out. couple of real clutch situations, the third inning, this is milledge taking 0 off out by a long way. almost like a missed sign, and then the clutch in the 6th. he takes off, and he's out

farther than that. check this out. he could have stopped it. on a breaking ball, great throw, perfect release. the ball is out in a hurry. and two speedsters -- >> and then the game changer. >> i mean, laroche gets out, he's dancing doesn't know what to do. see you! he's arguing a little bit. it didn't look like he was out, but still, a great throw, and on the other angle, tag might be a little late. but hey, i trust the umpire, he was there. see you later. >> it goes both ways. >> wil nieves, you talk about his pint point accuracy at second, and -- his pinpoints accuracy at second. gunning him down. >> you're taught when the breaking ball, the ball is in the dirt, that you go.

if you see it bounce away, but unfortunately for laroche, the ball bounced into him, and juggled and then he was in no-man's land. >> the bullpen was brought to task of finishing off this game and balester got them there, and burnett and the rest kept them at bay. >> five different relievers come in, he brings burnett in, burnett pops up. then sosa comes in, struggles a little, gave up a home run in that inning, also a hit, but everybody else was just -- bergmann went 2/3 of an inning, just one hit, villone comes in, and still looking at sosa here. >> that home run hurt. >> yes. and bergmann two quick outs, and then ends up breaking ball down,

struck him out, and then villone relieves and gets left-handed hitting jones to pop up. macdougal lashes out in the 9th. after retiring the first two guys. line drive to shortstop. national racks up another one. >> how about that strategy by riggleman: using everybody, all the pitchers trying to get that win. >> he's a matchup guy. manny had a tendency to let the pitcher finish what he was doing, especially the bull again guys and didn't do the matchup thing. you won't see that with riggleman. he managed coach, bench coach under tony la russa. tony is the best matchup guy in baseball, if not in the history of the game. he will look for the matchups. and he doesn't care if the guy just threw 3 pitches.

>> sosa, he did get a strike out. elijah is coming up. you'll have some butterflies. >> he shouldn't have the butterflies that others have, he has had so much experience, about you when you go to aaa, and you've been put on waivers, you believe were you're not good enough to pitch in the big league. he's pitching for his baseball life, as a lot of people have done here. but he does have the kind of stuff that he's able to get people out and he did a great job down there, and hopefully he can settle in here and do the job that's there and those older guys couldn't do. >> with the win, the nationals have a chance to get two out of four. gates mock looking for his first win at a starter in the nationals uniform. we will spotlight what garrett can do to beat the bucs monday night as we continue on nats xtra. to ride in the bottom of the plane in the dark. no peanuts or nothin'. and then if your bag wants to bring one

>> they do all this, and the swing is long. he takes the bat from here and goes straight to the baseball. >> 17 homers with the nationals, just 15 last year, 26 is his career high watermark with the marlins, 80 homers overall now. kind of happy we kept him around here. see what he can do. >> i think he's a cornerstone for this organization. you don't find a guy like that that can play the position decently, and just be such a high character guy. [ indiscernible ] >> he has five against milwaukee, five against san diego. he has gotten better and better.

lights out, he, lights out he had in aaa. per outing. he has to get comfortable. he has so much movement on his fastball. he has a better curveball than balester. balester looks like he might have a better command right now than garrett. >> upcoming schedule this is the last game coming against pittsburgh on the road, and back home against the marlins. the diamondbacks will arrive for these mother, dunn's former team, at least for a few months last year, and 6-game home stand for your chance to see the nats at nationals park. we'll take a look at the rest of this big win over the pirates next. frost-brewed coors light.

>> nations take out the pirates. -- nationals take out the pirates. >> josh has been real good about all year, you know. couple of huge hits for us today, just like he did in milwaukee, and he's pretty much been like that all year, and with the little exception out of the all-star break, but great at-bats by him, great at-bats by zimmerman, guzman, belliard, you know. lot of good baseball out there today. we played clean. pretty good pitching, so you know, we're happy about that. >> wil nieves behind the plate made some great plays. what did you think of him? >> he's one of the best of blocking the ball. he was blocking balls well, and the one he got a grip on and got the guy at first, that was big because i thought sosa was throwing the ball well, but you

know, he's in a little trouble there. and that play got us out of trouble. we certainly were happy with wil nieves' play. balester was good. he left a couple 0-2 pitches there as bergmann did late in the game, and that's something that is really getting the ire of mccatty. that's an area we have to clean up. lots of 0-2 pitches, breaking balls left in the zone, and they are going to get hit in the big league, and they are getting hits. other than that, i thought they both, those two guys threw very well. of course, burnett did a great job for us, anvil loan continues to be, continues to get necessary outs for us. overall, it's a good ballgame. >> how much confidence. [ indiscernible ]

>> gonzalez is a good player. he's just, he knows how to play the game, has good instinct, he's done nothing but hit at the big league level. he's probably been a bitter hitter in the big league than minor. it seems like that's how it's been for him, and he's, he's playing loose and easy, and hopefully he will continue jim riggleman on the win. balester with 5 and 2/3. >> just throwing first pitch strikes, being able to get ahead of the guys, and one thing i need to work on was throwing curve balls in the dirt, unhit-able pitch, and overall, it was a good outing. just throwing strikes is the main thing, and i finally figured that out. and i've been able to have success. >> are you starting to feel good about your mound presence?

yeah, definitely. down there in aaa, i had a couple games i got upset, and lost it, and that's where i would go down, but this year, after that, being able to just calm, be calm and compete at a standing pace, and go after the guys and not let things that happen badly cause my to falter. >> three innings and a rain delay against st. louis, you add this to that and milwaukee, and -- >> he's starting to rise quickly in that lineage of good young arms, as he probably was about maybe 6th or 7th about a month ago. and martis was ahead of him. but he has pitched well enough now to probably ascend into the top five. >> chance for a 4-4 road series for the nationals. 2-2 against pittsburgh if they

can beat him. garrett mock will get that task against charlie morton. bob carpenter and rob dibble will have the tomorrow night as they wrap it up. and ray knight and i will be there for the pregame show. 6:30, we'll have the pregame show, and spotlight the nationals looking for that second win in pittsburgh in a row. get rid of the losing streaks, isnationals win on a sunday. as boston lager. the sam adams lager goes beautifully with a lot of ethnic spicy foods. the maltiness and hoppiness work well with indian food. samuel adams boston lager is strong enough to support a heavier meal and it's balanced enough that's it's not going to overpower a lighter meal it could compliment a salmon dish with a little bit of spice to it. whether at a restaurant you're at home if you're having great food and you need a great beer, boston lager is the beer that i use. sam adams with great food-- there's nothing better.

runs over the last eight games. the nationals cruise to 5-3 victory. pittsburgh six of eight. mccutcheon day after hitting three home runs in one game, he goes one for four. >> yankees lead the white sox 7-5 in top of the ninth inning. melky cabrera has tripled his four for five and has hit for the cycle. as jack or j.d. salinger, were on the left a number of intellectuals such as paul goodman, growing up absurd, and people like the lonely crowd, david kriseman's book, were the man in the gray flannel suit. skilling -- ayn rand has been giving extremely well over the past couple of months particularly because of things coming out of d.c. but she is a writer and figure more importantly we should study with care if we want to have a road map why people are feeling the

way that they are right now. and then because of summer and i going on vacation in all areas i always try to take a couple of novels to read and i go back almost every year to balzac, the great french novelist whose comedy humane are a series of interrelated novels tell the story of moving into an industrial revolution economy, the move from the farmer to the city and all of the great possibilities that holds up for self transformation. big fan, and the balzac i'm looking at now is the black sheep and partly because my older son jack who is a high school student read this for his upcoming sophomore year in high school, hajin's war trash and is told from the point of view of a chinese soldier killed in an american p.o.w. camp during the korean war. is a haunting, sobering tale which gives an insight into

china which is clearly one of the countries that will be defining our lifetime and probably centuries to come. so, that is my summer reading and i hope to get it all done by the end of, you know, buy labor day weekend. >> to see more summer reading lists and other program information, visit our web site at booktv.org. and now tom diaz talks about the rise of latin gangs in the u.s. like ennis 13 and how will enforce it is reacting. he spoke in anaheim california. >> our next speaker, keynote speaker for this conference is tom diaz, and i mentioned the book
