8:01 pm
center to left there. is your expo. made it look routine but is he playing over will and you have to anticipate and you play figgins shallow because if he singles he will steal bases. >> he will go after the first pitch and pop it up to third base. mora has it and tillman retires the side in order and has retired the last six faced. a defensive gem here in the third. ?

8:04 pm
jammed him and no play. >> he is now doing what he wanted in the first which is be able to instead of missing off the plate hit the corner rsz. he hasn't dissh didn't throw a slider in the second. that hurt him in the first and sometimes if you have three pitches maybe you don't have all three that night or they aren't good. >> 0-2 to right center. matthews and he has it. one away. mora retired. radio shack, what do you know? we know that. 1975 a guy named jim palmer, decent pitcher, 25 complete imam games. starter's have thrown 25 complete games since 2004. good or bad? >> if you have a good closer
8:05 pm
pretty good. >> since 2004 equaling the number you had. >> it's different. >> it is. it is that. >> i mean that's what hu to do. the other guys doing. nine pitches verses 13. i was talking to mike and said the bench back then, with nine pitchers, real good bench. >> you only had nine pitchers. >> that one is drilled way back in right field. felix has one, good-bye home run! taking a look -- that's how far it was. third home run of the season and a 7-2 orioles lead. >> who care fz he held onto the ball in the first. got a double the next time, there is the breaking ball. he brought it out in the third and it leaves the park.
8:06 pm
21 home runs given up way weaver. 14 of them by the lefties. pa batting -- great catch in the out field after the hesitating in the first inning that resulted in an error on a throw now he has an rbi double and a hope home run. that ball behind second base. short stop, aybar had trouble reading that and he is retired, two down. >> you talked about -- no clouds i could see. easy to loose as we get into from twilight to the lights taking effect loose the ball in the sky. >> the orioles who have not been hitting many home runs get one from the inning, that's just the third in the last 66 innings that the orioles have hit. here is roberts. he will chop one. this has a chance. weaver gunning in, nice play to get roberts.
8:07 pm
helped his own cause the third homer of the year. of the plane in the dark. no peanuts or nothin'. and then if your bag wants to bring one of its little bag friends for company, they charge another $25. that's just plain mean. why do they hate your bags? at southwest airlines, bags fly free. grab your bag. it's on! ( ding )
8:08 pm
8:09 pm
look. that's a muscle car. okay. never mind. >> convertible muscle. >> that is a muscle car. muscle car -- and go for it. >> tank top and muscle car get the top down. >> that's right. put the shades on. go for it. 7-2 lead and we are just going to the 4th inning. 7-8-1 for the orioles, 2-2-0 for the angels. >> want to see the movement on the ball and that's what he did. >> 0-1. own ball one strike. a strike out victim. he has really been a trouble spot for the orioles pitching staff as he is 8-23. two home runs and eight rbis against the orioles for him. 1-1 on the way. keep in mind on the season the
8:10 pm
orioles are 1-5 and the angels have out scored the orioles coming into the game 39-25. the orioles have done a number on that in this one. they make it 41-32 in runs scored. pitch is up high. and a two ball two strike count. chris tillman, has retired the last six in a row after a fine defensive play by jones gunned down rivera to end the first. fouled away. >> the two home runs came off guthrie. one on a change up and then one of the better swings i have seen all year, 0-2. two strike pitch up and in. he just short stroked it. three run shot. out in anaheim. >> two balls two strike count.
8:11 pm
out field deep. taking the pitch inside. the count goes to 3-2. seldom has there been a batter more willing to stand there lifeless than bobby. he is a great hitter but he will wait. he is in no rush to swing at anything unless he has you where he wants you. 3-2, fought it in, belted in the air. jones going back to the wall and good-bye home run. bobby giving the chinger. his tenth of the year. it's his 78th rbi in a 7-3 game. >> 35-year-old guy that knows how to hit. again once he sees the speed of your fast ball and that is what he will hit. this is like a perfect pitch to drive. it's just down. all he has to do is get the bat head. once he has speed it's not hard
8:12 pm
to do. >> dl you go. >> amazing hitter. >> he has had three of his ten home runs against the orioles. making a 7-3 ball game. here is the single, take that one to short stop. one away. freeze camera brought to i by korea light. >> you don't want to miss this. i think it's the first time i have seen it. the drop hit. the curve ball bounces, not only does he get a base hit thrks is the play where he comes in, catches it and then doesn't know where it throw it and they get a run. one of the amazing things that he should be on the pga tour when he retires. only 34. >> maybe he will be. it's in there for a strike to rivera. those of you watching will forever have a frame of reference now when anyone asks can you hit a ball that bounces
8:13 pm
up to the plate? you have the answer and you can say i saw that once. pitch is outside and a one ball one strike count. rivera had the double and an rbi and was thrown outf. anybody will do that its him. the opposite of abreyu. he never saw a pitch he didn't want to swing at. that in the air to the gap. jones coming to try to cut it off. he does but it'll still be a double and a stand up double so rivera has two, two baggers and two at bats. >> the last 41 games he has driven in, this is now his 20th extra base hit. talk about coming to the big leagues. they don't hit this in the minor leagues. issue -- if that's going to be a two strike hit you can head for the dug out because they won't hit that in the minors.
8:14 pm
>> that puts a runner at second. only one away and we will bring um morales. he grounded out his first time up. 6th in homers, 9th in rbis and will take the pitch for a strike. he is hitting 400 in the month of august coming into this ball game and has five home runs. guerrero has four, he has five and the home run department in the month of august to lead the los angeles angels of anaheim. 0-1 for a ball. thought it was interesting the all-star logo for the game that will be played in anaheim. it is going to be anaheim. big anaheim name behind the logo with the baseball and crossed bats on the front for the all-star game. not los angeles. >> that would be a hard thing to pull off i think for an the
8:15 pm
all-star game, it's anaheim but it's los angeles. >> pitch taken inside. >> they do it for marketing. >> absolutely. expivment they do a great job of marketing the team. >> yes. >> you see the billboards all over los angeles that say los angeles angels they first drove the dodgers crazy. but competition. 2-1 on the way and that's a base hit to right field. markakis, rivera will be held. nick getting it into huff. but, we have had a homer, double and single surrounded by a ground ball out in the inning. >> great extension but we talked about the change up. if you throw to many and don't make good pitches and that is what will happen. that's a nice wind up. rick will come out and is he throwing 93 to 96 and now suddenly they are hitting curve balls, i just count the home run because you have yourself a -- a situation where you don't
8:16 pm
want to walk him and that happened on a fast ball. other than that i'm sure rick is saying you have throwing better than you think. your fast ball you can make more mistakes than with change ups and curve balls to the second best offensive team. >> there you go. rick talked about this in the opening tonight. with two outs, one out the numbers are good which is the case here. that last number could be random. matt albers will get loose. you want to win your first game. > his 4th major league start. runners and here is aybar. he will foul it away. 286 with runners in scoring
8:17 pm
position. angels now trailing 7-3. five hits on the board. morales picked up the single. the 9th best road average in the league. quick throw by tillman as morales almost got caught wandering away. tillman two walks, two strike outs. a game that looked on paper to be a physically ade game for pitchers. here is the 0-1. that up the ladder where you put the painting can and it's 0-2. >> chris tillman with a couple strike outs. he would like to get one here. for aybar he won't bunt now but he has 26 infield hits. that's how quick he is. >> not hit well as you see against the orioles in his career. >> now you can throw that curve ball and you don't have
8:18 pm
to throw it for a strike. just hope matt if you throw it on the strike zone will block it. trying to keep the double pray by making these throws over. aybar and hitting the left side. very tough to double up in any event. 0-2 count. chopper, torres, go to the plate, here is the throw. they get rivera in the run down. the tag made and that is the only out they will get as one of the runners will move up. morales goes to third base, aybar has to stay at first so is he make --. >> it wasn't hard to get the out. i think he knows he will get the out but usually you take the sure enough and the great play about here is he will run back rivera who doesn't have much speed. he goes out a baseline so he
8:19 pm
can't get into scoring position. >> morales good base running moving to third that. could have been a close play and the fielder's choice puts him on at first base. two down. play to get the out and not give up the run. tillman with two down. naopli will take the breaking ball in for a strike. >> another hanging change up. get away with it but not where you want to pitch naopli. he is such a good high ball hitter. >> 0-1 count. 16 home runs on the year. runner not going. very late on the fast ball. 0-2. >> that is a book on him. try to throw him out of the strike zones and then try to get him out with breaking
8:20 pm
balls. >> tillman with a two strike count. 0-2 on the way outside. one and two on naopli. >> you are seeing looks at what everybody has talked about tillman. he has a good curve ball. the change up has been good but there even though -- wanted to throw to the outside corner because he doesn't have the experience he has a good arm. he thought he was going to catch him looking toward the bag and not at him but he got back to the bag in time. angels don't make a lot of mistakes on the bases. they will make outs on the bases because it's mike wants them aggressive and like that out that happened at third on rivera that's okay. here is the 1-2 on the way. breaking ball. he will block it.
8:21 pm
and the count will go to two balls and two strikes. angels continue to be the leading team from first to third since mike has been there that's the number that's been a huge difference on the team. they advance on the base in every situation. >> i said how do you do that and he said we run hard to the next base. >> yes. >> 2-2. >> swung on and missed. naopli guessing he got him. three strike outs for tillman. one run in, leading with a homer but a couple left on. the orioles still on top. taste like?
8:22 pm
a miller lite. (announcer on call) ...he throws it across the field. he's got something! 30...40...50...he's got it! 40! he's got it! 20...10...he's got it! 5!...endzone! touch down! there are no flags on the field! it's a miracle! (announcer) that's what greatness tastes like. triple hops brewed. great pilsner taste. miller lite. taste greatness.
8:23 pm
. the place to be is the baron, on utah street, open before and after the game. the orioles all access pregame show is broadcast live from the bar with tom and dave. don't miss it you are here. stop by the bud light war. >> a lot of folk there tonight. they had a good house on hand. between innings, about young players growing up at the major league level. rick in the middle of it doing more listening and helping them to learn. swung on and missed by jones.
8:24 pm
jones coming to the plate for the third time. hit into a fielder's choice, 7- 3 lead. weaver, struggled his way through so far. giving up the home run to pa and then that six run six lit first inning. >> can't really do anything about that. >> that's gone. >> water over the dam and you just have to get back in the game and get in the rhythm and hope you can maintain it somewhere. own or two runs over the next five and take your chances with the offense. texas the only team they have struggled with. they have won three and lost don elliman. fouled off.
8:25 pm
lost nine. they have six and three record against oakland. six and seven against seattle. it's surprising the angels team in their own division are four games under 500. >> one reason is because seattle pitches well and then texas -- can pitch with them because the era -- xas bett. p such a big ballpark until you start throwing balls. >> then they start leaving the yard regularly. here is the 2-2 on the way. he has his first hit off weaver. the orioles get a leadoff single in the 4th inning to the middle of the order coming up. who is the only rookie pitcher in angels history to throw
8:26 pm
hitter? who is it? >> bo? >> the answer is. probably wrong. >> ye. bee . >> against e orioles. >> i wasn't scottsdale high sc >> never mind. >> bo isanswer. bon his time made a few headlinepage of newspapers. >> that's why i rememberr than the no itt% @>>her an no hitter. ck then it was los angeles. not anaheim. ballpark didn't exist until 1966. he thought -- hl÷ost let and y not? > the answer was no good % reason why not. >> no. no. we suggest you log in, go to
8:27 pm
google, put bo in and read on. nick markakis has struck out and popped out. nick with a ru jones, the orioles 9th hits of the ball game. nick will take it in the dirt and it guess by. going down to second base will be jones. that one looked like through the wickets of naopli. >> usually the way they judge whether it's wild or a pass is if it bounces. it does but should have been caught. mike knows that. mike naopli, former catcher knows that. it didn't bounce out that far that you shouldn't have blocked it. >> it'll go as a wild pitch and put a runner in scoring position now for markakis. >> how about getting the runner over and in? >> nobody out. swoun on and miss. that's the pitcher has been using against him. >> these are the situational as we look at matt palmer, 8-1
8:28 pm
as starter. out of the bullpen with you situational hitting get the runner over. you have huff with the double. bring him up, may bring the infield in. make him a better hitter. >> long look by weaver. markakis jammed. 74 pitches have been thrown by weaver. that's one of the reason there's is action in the bullpen and the orioles have continued to find ways to hit him pretty hard. >> one of those nights. we see them all the time and again when your era is up around five a game and the wild pitches, orioles trying to keep it going. and that will call for a conference here. markakis as we noted at the top having a great august. he is hitting 354 into the ball game this month. has one of the orioles home
8:29 pm
runs in the month of august. there haven't been many. the only one for two was adam jones for this month. nick has had the bat going as part of that six game hit streak. >> batting practice is a lot different than hitting in the games. when you came into the year at a 299 level, he hit balls today that guys thinking will that hit the warehouse? >> way inside to him. > there is a nice play. this one doesn't get by. >> as part of his run he continues with the games on base, 33 straight. he has not extended here tonight. that's how you block it. >> curve ball well out in front of home plate. >> he decided not to do vladimir guerrero. >> two ball, two strike count. nobody out. reached for it, fouled it back
8:30 pm
and stays alive. the orioles wouldn't mind getting it the bullpen at all. it's a disjointed affair right now ranked 12th in era in the second most hits allowed for nine innings of any bullpen belonging to the angels. 2-2 on the way. markakis will lift that to center field. it's played by matthews tagging up jones so he gets the runner moved up with one away jones is at third base. he hit it hard. matthews ran it down. >> infield moved in. naopli looking over to sosa
8:31 pm
again. >> they will walk him. >> they will put him on. >> we told you about that 187 number weaver against righty though his last time up hit a hanging slider for a double. this is percent age baseball and how rch have be seen the orioles have to do this when you trail early. it's a risk. you hope a guy that's given up seven runs will make a good pitch and get you out with one pitch. >> huff the pass will be his 7th of the season. >> quh you are going well sometime it's works and when you are going poorly just another run on base. >> he will try to answer. the walk in front of him. they are looking for the double play. they now huff won't run. first time up, got a walk and
8:32 pm
scored, second time was strond stranded. >> what huff can do this is where you lead and secondary lead are so important. what kind of jump can you get? make it more difficult for them to turned double play they are trying to get. >> going to be outside for a ball. nolan the dh in the ball game tonight. weaver waiting behind him as the orioles try to extend the 7- 3 lead in the bottom half of the 4th. weaver, the 1-0 and that's going to miss inside. he falls behind 2-0. even though he has had a tough august hitting under 200 he has kept the scoring position numbers up. 327 with runners in scoring position. been able to pick up key hits and hit the ball hard on his
8:33 pm
double his last time up. that slider missing outside. weaver looks like his arm is falling off. >> his fast ball 85 miles an hour hasn't had the extra zip in the scoreboard shows you that. one thing about him even on the numbers have gone done he still seems to be disciplined at the plate. thaivment 3-0 pitch. we saw him -- actually in these counts not try to pull the ball? hit the ball the other way and of course that's a great way to hit the ball to the right side. >> they give him the big hole between first and second with the second baseman way over to the bag. see how far over he is. 3-1 on the way. that will be fouled back. everywhere you go including tonight with angels folks on the broadcasters, writers, everybody asking about nolan. they say this guy you look at
8:34 pm
his numbers and watch him play its like is he under the radar. doesn't get at tension a lot of other players get. especially pitchers for the orioles and that's a fair assessment. i think we said before it's probably the best thing. he is kind of developing quietly into a very strong every day player. 3-2 look. >> what i like about him and i think personality has a lot to do. he is far from proven he can play every day. he has done a nice job over the first few months. he has such a placi personality. not exciteable. >> blood pressure has to be good. 1 ball four. >> such an important part as mike will come out to make a pitching change. that right there. doesn't even sniff at it. taking the fast ball.
8:35 pm
8:36 pm
8:37 pm
corona. relax responsibly. the or trying to increase their lead as out of the ball game the 26-year-old with a 12-3 record. weaver, palmer on. >> he started out great. now pitching out of the bullpen and a good era. 13 relief pitches. started to see the 12 starts, little bit under five run runs a game. was -- the angels picked him up. they had injuries early on and stayed out and did a nice job for them. >> 30 years old matt palmer and the bases are loaded. the orioles have a chance to do real damage right here. they already have a 7-3 lead and matt has struck out and grounded out, sacks are full with a single, intentional walk
8:38 pm
and unintentional walk that. one to left field. it gets at least one in. rivera back will put it away tagging up jones. throw to third. sack fly and an rbi and an 8-3 orioles lead. >> nice job by matt, situational hitting. less than two outs. get a ball you can hit in the air and that's what he did. >> 16 rbis for the catchers. the other runners stay. huff at second, all these base runners the responsibility of the starter weaver. >> you saw him looking on the field. he has a interest in what goes on when you leave with the bases loaded having already given up seven, now eight. >> now mora who has accounted for one of those with an rbi single. 1-2 in the ball game. weaver 2-1 lifetime against the
8:39 pm
orioles. watch at least the end of this inning. >> this was his first start ever. talking about weaveer at camden yards. all the others in anaheim. >> it's a different ball game there because of the weather. it's usually pretty much perfect. of course you come from a west coast here even though it's not one of our hotter days -- it was nice. >> nice. >> little different, more sweat, hard to get used to it fast. >> one ball, one strike out. matt palmer, two down, palmer wasn't signed until january and attended spring training as a nonroster player. he is the first rookie in at the age of 30, 30 or over to start a season with six straight wins as a starter. palmer did that and is now out of the bullpen. the 2-1 on the way.
8:40 pm
mora takes it intied for a ball. he has a 295 era this is the 14th relief appearance he has made after 12 starts. he had a five era as a starter. > >> he pitched in triple a and the strike outs, walks down, not a lot of home runs. >> on with a walk and they are loaded again. so far its been about -- the a in this game started out with a double and rbi. made a great catch in the out field and then in his last at bat leading off the third he clocked one. his third home run of seat son. the season. slice of american pie there. >> he is looking for whipped cream right here. that's a base hit or something like that.
8:41 pm
two down, the bases loaded and he fouls it away. strike one. palmer trying to limit the damage as the orioles have a run in and have made it an 8-3 ball game. six rbis. 0-1. 0-2. >> whether he came to spring training he had a weird batting stance and the hitting coach started working with him and when he was playing doing pretty much full time he was 9- 57 and then they work with him longer, swing gots better but he hasn't played much and the number's have been much better. close to 300 with a home run,
8:42 pm
14 runs, 9 rbis. >> jim some players get found out when they play every day. >> and a lot of breaking balls and change ups. >> that may not -- that's hard to say for him. >> you like to say his swing has gotten better but it could be a combination. he probably would have swung at that in april. >> buried one in the dirt. one. got on, huff walked. mora over there at first base. one ball, two strike count. and that is taken inside and he will go 2-2. >> you can see that cut fast ball. little more pressure in the middle. just veers at 90 miles an hour this is a veteran pitcher. relies on movement.
8:43 pm
orioles looking for one that is really an important hit in the ball game if they could get one right here. 2-2 a slider. the orioles will add another. they leave the bases loaded. weaver responsible for all eight runs. the right decision. future...us? we got here as quick as we could. look it's the cc. you don't pay for scheduled maintenance, you get the car of your dreams... seriously us, just drive it. you're right. dealer: let's take this one. it's a time-space continuum thing. the future...
8:45 pm
jones. that would be the final out of the inning. orioles using him in left field. he made a great catch on figgins denying him an extra base hit. the orioles offense has ric risen to th situation . >> the defense trying to win your first major league start. >> tillman working to matthews who struck out his first time up and then the top of the order. the fast ball on the outside corner. >> no expect to matthews jr., he played here as a great guy but he is the one guy you better get out. he is the only guy that is hitting under 297. though he is a capable player. >> taking the place of hunter. laying off a good pitch there. >> he has done well, 327.
8:46 pm
veteran bench player. 2-1 fouled off. thank goodness for the screen on that one. >> to me everybody -- i did not do any of the first three starts by tillman but his fast ball is better than said. speeda strength. good movement on it. not early on because he couldn't command it but since the second inning. >> fouled back. matthews trying to go up the ladder. when you go a swing like that you can see it's a good swing. now you locate the fast ball in a different location if you can or you go to another pitch. i don't want to go to 3-2 with figgins up. i want to keep the lead. 2-2 up the middle. and getting the out. matthews retired. one away in the 5th.
8:47 pm
yankees making their final visit baltimore. great seats available for each game but going fast. tuesday september one it'll be the bargin night presented by bargin outlet. all upper reserve seats eight dollars. we will already talking about september. one away. figgins a walk and denied a base hit on that fine catch you saw. figgins will take it for a strike. rbi by rivera in the first as torres scored on an error and then the home run leading off to 4th accounting for the three running the angels have. orioles get six runs, six hits in the first inning. mora rbi single.
8:48 pm
a -- they added to that. a sack fly. 1-1 breaking ball and it'll go 1-2. >> figgins just couldn't pick it up. >> he didn't have a problem following the curve ball though it seemed like they had a good break but fooled on the change up. >> 1-2 and that to the second hop. two down. >> i think what tillman is learning is that at this level they don't always swing at the pitch you want them to hit. in other words you throw the good curve ball, he takes it but when you get the two strikes everything is off. i don't care how good are you -- have you to swing and that's what happened. >> you that kind of pitch at 94 -- it gets a lot simpler.
8:49 pm
he has settled down after this first inning. a breaking ball will miss as he drew a walk be scored in the first and popped out. getting back in action. he came out tuesday after he had a pitch that hit him in the left elbow and not played since. he didn't go on the dl obviously. he is back here tonight into the starting line up. big extra base hit guy. 12 of them over the last 35 games and hit 328. 2-1 on the way and a check swing to third. mora -- safe is the call now the umpire changes it to out. he wanted to make sure he had the ball and he did. first base umpire wasn't sure. larry where the baseball was so his first call was safe and
8:50 pm
8:51 pm
. we saw guerrero hit the ball and bounce. not quite sure what larry wanted to know asking adam huff to show him the glove and the ball. >> i think huff took the glove off, maybe because he couldn't see the glove but he had the ball and a lot of time -- old days you would take it out and throw it back to the mound. now it goes to the stands or the dug out. interesting night and to me i'm seeing we always talk how the young pitching has to get better and have an opportunity. tillman gives up the runs early, he has been other than the home run he has pitched better than i expected. he has great stuff. >> and he has learned to use
8:52 pm
the defense as the orioles have made some. >>jim palmer: fine defensive plays. what would have been a double later and they have gotten rid of the starter. that's where the orioles want to be with the angels is in the pen. >> you look at a match up and weaver came in with a great year. all the injuries they have had in the pitching staff and they have a lot of runs. the game is not over and it's only the 5th. the match up didn't look like it favored it. mike -- i don't care when you have ban round the game he respects every team he plays. i said have you been playing well and he said the orioles are a better team than they showed. i think that and it's up to them and so far they have played better than the last couple weeks. >> dave's ball club, had the dog days of august sink in on
8:53 pm
the offense. had the other happened they have come up with the big hits, done better with runners in scoring position already in this ball game than for the entire month. this is going to be to shallow center and matthews won't make the play and he gets it second base. >> the angels playing a little bit like the orioles play sometimes. or teams that let another team to just out play them. this is a routine play. somebody has to catch it. matthews can't catch it, he should have caught it. the big two run single in the first and of course palmer covers the base. big break for the orioles. 8-3. we know about the offense of the angels. try to score more runs. thrivment is what we are talking about when key players are out. nothing against matthews, hunter makes that play like it was a little league. >> that's what he did in
8:54 pm
little league. >> it's just a ball you catch. matthews isn't used to playing out there. he hears the steps, gets nervous, the infielder coming out and the ball falls in. it's a double for him. the orioles get the leadoff man on yet again in the ball game. that's ten hits, now for the orioles in the game. they include doubles by roberts and huff, and now the extra base hits coming tonight where they hadn't been early their month. roberts a double and a single in the ball game. 2-3. coming to the plate for the 4th time in the game in the 5th. you see the orioles already 4- 10 with runners in scoring position tonight. >> after going 8-49 over the last five. talk about it all the time. want to start playing better you have to produce better. it sounds so simple. not always easy to do.
8:55 pm
i was reading an article in the globobe where after facing burnett and champer lane, the hitting coach said we have to hit better pitching better. it's true. that's what the good teams do. they figure out how to win. >> excuses don't work or make you better. >> they don't win. >> i don't want to hear about how you faced the top ten in the league in the last ten days, shut up and hit. simple as that. it's the big leagues. if you can't then tip your cap the other way and come out the other way but don't look for excuses. that one is fouled back. how much easier is the game for the hitters when you get a lead early and you aren't pressing? >> you aren't pressing, they are putting guys on, trying to load up the bases to get the double play and those runs count. you turn the line up over.
8:56 pm
all the things and we have seen them happen when they aren't ahead in ball games you get into -- you sometimes --. >> roberts fouls that one off and not enough room for figgins. >> this say perfect example. roberts has been playing very well. you need to try to get another run. it's a little more difficult but move the runner over. that is a guy i think the frustrating that you see teams coming in. the angels are 18 game as head of oakland yet oakland came in and did all the little things. >> 2-2. toward the corner. that's a base hit off the wall. torres will score, here is the throw into second. roberts is safe. brian roberts two doubles. a three hit game and an rbi.
8:57 pm
42 doubles on the year. there you go. gets him over andn. the bonus. he makes a nice throw and the only reason he isn't out, watch the slide by roberts to the inside of the bag. aybar makes a nice bag. here is the throw. bobby can still play the out field. >> again a normal slide into the bag, you are out. >> that's a great slide. we don't see that rch anymore. sliding to the different sides of the bag what used to be the hook slide. all honesty i don't think a lot of players do that. >> the gifted players and roberts -- you are watching where the fielder will catch the ball, where he is reaching for it. the ball is in front of you. you try to anticipate but have you to be able to do it. >> and he did. still nobody out. down to third that will stay foul. figgins picking it up in foul
8:58 pm
territory off the bat of jones. the orioles have put up nine roneos 11 hits they have added one here in the 5th with nobody out in this first of four games against the angels with the 68- 44 mark and the best road record in the american league. 32 and 22 mark. not an easy task to be doing this. weaver the starter eight runs, nine hits over three and a third innings. struck out three, walked four, one on purpose. palmer on in relief missing outside with it. shane louis in the bullpen. a few pitchers the way this game is going. that is the decision mike has to make. just use a couple and let them
8:59 pm
run along in the game or do you use a lot of people and try to keep everybody sort of available for the rest of the series. >> i think we saw that by letting weaver. he wasn't going to through in the flag by letting him get as deep as possible and then you can use the guys for an inning or two and not loose them for the series or a couple days. >> jones the single his last time up. one for two and a walk. he has score twod in the game. here is the 2-2 by palmer. off speed pitch and a breaking ball. palmer will get the strike out. that's his second and that's the first out of the inning. sports teams, orioles want to remind you to get ready for sports day. red sox will be here. your team, any sport can take hart a pregame parade around the field and enjoy great group

9:01 pm
this is a guy not known for his defense. played well but they still >> and a strike taken on a sharp breaking ball. >> you look at the numbers, 9- 1 reco effective guy. i imagine if he started ftie are hitting 206. if you th probably could put four, five, six leftys in the line up. when you bring them in relief of maybe a left hander or whatever or right hander where you have a lot of right handers in the line up it could be effective. >> and very hard to change your line up if you are another team. >> yes. >> and you aren't going it if you have a lead. >> yes. >> one ball one strike on the way. huff will take it down low. >> he is crafty. everything is moving.
9:02 pm
got a good name. >> he is a vulture. >> that to. >> that is a term. not a negative term. >> when you swoop down and win. >> that will be a base hit into right field. taking a look roberts will make the turn. the throw by bobby, it is there and he is out. a good job by naopli who had the plate covered. he forced roberts to try to go around him on the outside but his throw is there and naopli has the whole plate covered. brian never got close to it. that will save a run. in the . no peanuts or nothin'. and then if your bag wants to bring one of its little bag friends for company, they charge another $25.

9:04 pm
. chris tillman looking for his first major league win. he started out by giving up a couple runs in the first inning and fell behind but the orioles came to his cause. he has a shot at being the winner. >> i think he gets out of the first and then relaxes. the speed goes wop the big strike out. two outs, and he got the ground ball, play at home, throw out the runner and then he strikes out naopli. >> and suddenly the orioles keep adding runs. this is a tough inning.
9:05 pm
always because you know you are not in the late innings that often and then have you a tough at bat. we know that he won't swing at any balls. he will be aggressive early on. >> bobby dwetting the 7th assist of the year on that out at the plate. we have -- its been an entertaining game. lot of activity, lot of plays made by the defense. outing on the base path. tillman knows about beginnings and not for goating where you are in his second start against detroit he had a 5-0 lead before he got out to throw a pitch and ended up in a ball game that would be a 6-5 detroit win and he was nondecision. he has had the early experience of a lot of runs that weren't enough. a two ball two strike count on bobby. >> there is another curve ball
9:06 pm
that he lays off. it was a good run. they don't lay off that in the minor league. >> pinch that one to left field. retired. >>gary thornton: one down in the 6th. >> such a learning process for a young pitcher. i went through where you wonder how your stuff translates. i didn't spend as much time as chris did but you come up and realize -- i was lucky that my first roommate said the best pitch is a good fast ball and you have one and tillman has one so throw it. nothing has changed. >> nope. >> unless you through a knuckle ball that's the rule. he will miss with that. a single and a run scored. guerrero grounded out. the dh. taking that one in the air to left center field. jones, going to fall in, jones
9:07 pm
cut itself off and guerrero has to stay at first. guerrero getting his second hit but a good play by jones to keep him on at first base with one away. orioles fan when's it comes to tickets you deserve major league service. official fan to fan ticket market place of the orioles. >> i thought he was going to catch the ball. almost looked like fe -- not routine by any means. when the ball throws. >> both were to fast. thought the other might get it. >> here is rivera. he had the double and was thrown out to end the first by jones and then had a double and got caught in a run down and was tagged out in the 4th. he has had an interesting day on the base pads already. rivera hitting it 3-11. he will take the pitch inside for a ball.
9:08 pm
he has had nine hits and 23 at bats against the orioles this year. that's why this team came in with a 314 batting average against the orioles and the game is played the first six of the year. orioles putting their own numbers up tonight. off speed pitch off the end of the bat. that will be back into the seats. >> they are just a confident ball club when it come toustie hadding. good balance and good speed. out in anaheim the last trip the orioles took out. they came back in two of the games and once again -- down 4- 0. that was like nothing. they are not finished tonight. not like they are going to go away. that's not what good hitting teams do. they will put as many on the board until you get the 27 outs. >> 1-1 on the way. fouled it off the end of the bat. >> couple high change ups.
9:09 pm
one he hit foul and that good swing there. those are home run swings. >> rivera's very strong. guerrero in front of him he can hit some screaming line drives. obviously given a ball that he can juice he will do that as well. one ball, two strike count on him. tillman, that is the first base, huff, that's one, got to tag him, nice play at both ends. huff able to haul it in. that creates the need for the tag on guerrero but he knew he had time. guerrero being slow and he did.
9:11 pm

9:19 pm
coming for the adams apple. that last play, the double play to get out of the last inning, hot shot made it look routine. >> telling brian how much that one kind of unnerved him because it was coming right at his throat. >> you could see the veteran move. mora, 7th. he comes over and gives tillman a little bit of time after he covers first base. >> couple extra breaths. >> everybody in because of the ability of aybar to bunt his way on. 26 infield hits. >> aybar in this game has flied out, hit into a fielder's choice, naopli the catcher on deck. 0-1. that will be taken up high for a ball. this team has started out through june 11. total of 44 home runs, tenth in the league in slugging.

9:22 pm
2-2. shattered bat. left field. he will have to play that on a hop. >> what they like about it and i think have you to get used to, if you get a lot of money to sign and you zip through the minors -- you don't have a lot of failure but the big leagues say they will get hits, how doi handle it and he has handled well. >> we will let the fans and you celebrate the performance. he may get his first win and that's it for chris tillman.

9:25 pm
all the sudden lefties hit him over 300 he gets more hittable. >> that's a base hit down the line. markakis coming to third base. naopli, going to wave him home. not in time on it. coming in standing up is naopli all the way from first base and a double by matthews and an rbi. he gets the big hit and turns the order over. >> the target away and it's down and in and right where lefties like it. nobody is playing there, huff can't get it. if figgins will step to the plate and get the base hit it's about coming in and making quality pitches. matt doesn't throw that hard he can get away with mistakes. >> left handers 321 off him. here is figgins. figgins a walk, he has flied
9:26 pm
out and grounded out. runner on, second base now with two down as matthews gets the two out rrbi. 39th of the year. figgins will take the pitch away. figgins hit 2:00 21 right handed with 339 from this side of the plate the all three home runs have been hit left handed. he has been a clutch hitter and rick doesn't like what he seeing goes to the mound. >> have you to be able to locate. this is -- what is your head, if your head is swinging, your league, whatever. he is an important part of the bullpen. with george wearing blue somebody that to assume. danny doesn't usually pitch back to back. matt is durable. come in, make quality pitches and take your chances. >> if you overthrow if you are
9:27 pm
a sinker ball it doesn't sink and that's what he has done. >> third game he has been in against the angels and given up three runs on five hits now including the hit here tonight. the run not charged to him. era 10.1 with a 364 batting average. >> he came in on that sunday game and then would give up tack on runs to the angels. >> albers working with a runner at second and two way. that is going to be a base hit to left field. markakis, they will challenge it. a play at the plate. the throw. markakis off line. and an rbi single by figgins bringing home matthews. and now it's a 9-5 ball game. >> part of the thing to get good hitters, nick will have a throw that is off line. i don't think he will throw him
9:28 pm
out is to use all your pitches. all fast balls, none of them well locate they are good. >> these are two out hits. all of this with two down. naopli got the single that drove tillman out and now the rbi single by figgins. figgins has 40 runs batted if on the season to go with the fact he has crossed the plate more than anyone else in the american league. he is on at first. breaking balln. there for a strike. drew a walk and scored in the first. popped out and grounded out. >> figgins a select company. pedroia behind them, then damon and roberts. he will be a free agent unless they resign him. >> 0-1 step off by albers.
9:29 pm
>> they have a number of guys, signed a one year deal. figgins, lackey, even oliver, done a great job out of the bullpen. >> figgins started to go, didn't. the ball gets pulled into the corner and that's a foul ball. figgins had a big jump but you got two down. team trailing. since 2007 crawford, roberts, figgins, ichiro the top five in the american league stolen base leader department over the last three years. he walks off the lead, starts short. extends it. taking the pitch inside this angels team has 16 of their last 25 wins they have won coming behind. they are a ball club with a mentality of getting runs late
9:30 pm
9:31 pm

9:33 pm
everybody talks about and we saw him make a nice play, saw him with power. didn't see it early on. >> a two rbi single, double and a run scored, 2-3. being watched over here by shane loux. now up to 268. batting average. he only had five at bats against the angels this year. squares the bunt, taking the pitch inside and a ball on. or now with 13 hits in the ball game. outhitting the ball game. the beautiful game of baseball, putting together a team the orioles that weren't hitting in the move august against a team that was hitting scoring better than anyone else in the american league in the month of
9:34 pm
august, angels. the scores 9-5 orioles. >> against the starting pitcher that was 12-3 getting 9.35 runs a game. perfect set up wasn't it? beautiful game. 1-0 count. >> of course if you look at the at bats, he dumped a broken bat hit into left field for two in the first and then the pop fly that matthew shz have caught but held up on. talked about it, you never know the difference. not at bat its but hits. >> he showed the bunt again. did he go? check at third, no. he was thinking about offering at that pitch. >> the orioles like to get at least one of twot they gave up in the top of the inning back. >> they brought the third baseman figgins way in about four steps in on the grass at
9:35 pm
third when the pitch comes. >> also a count as the left handed hitter you can look for a ball inside middedl. >> all the way to third. >> runner goes, grounded to first. it's a foul ball. he had a big jump and trying to behind him just misses going over the bag. he has hit only 216 left handed and 354 right handed this year. one of the reasons why it may have been showing bunt there. then also putting a man in motion giving him more room. >> he has been everything the orioles had hoped for at short and at the plate. he has done the job they needed for the every day player taking nothing away from robert and the great job devment back to the bag on a 2 dub 1 count. >> he played very little
9:36 pm
defensively. did a lot bet we are runners in scoring position than his general average. i think he probably opened up a lot of eyes, talking about robert, until the last couple games, played 31 straight games because of the surgery that ceasar had. twoivment. >> swing away, down the line. that's a fair ball into the corner. coming to third, he will be waved home. ball was bobbled. the relay throw. coming to naopli, is he in and over the third base with an rbi. it's a 10-5 ball game. did he hurt his hand on the play at the plate? this time naopli could block the play and he goes right down the tunnel. a little bobble by abreyu.
9:37 pm
he kind of catches his leg and i don't know what happens again. lot of times guys wear their glove expez guess he hook it's on this left ankle of naopli. that is not good. he really got it caught underneath the shoe, maybe even into the guard, shin guard. >> he scores, infield is drawn in. the three rbi ball game. he is on at third with a double and an rbi. he has 22 rbis onto season. i guess they have given him a triple. a 1-0 count and it's in there for a strike. roberts has a three hit ball game. two doubles and a single. rbi and a run scored. the orioles now have ten runs
9:38 pm
on 14 hits in this ball game. 1-1 against the infield is fouled away. as far as the multiple rbi games this will be the third game in which he has had three rbis. brian robs -- he roberts, he has had a couple of those this year. one ball, two strike count. to third and the pitch is inside to roberts. 2-2. the starter weaver charged with eight runs on nine hits. palmer came on, gave up a run on a couple of hits in an inning two thirds. orioles working against loux.
9:39 pm
roberts takes it inside and the count is 3-2. >> you are seeing the problem when you have the infield in and are you trying to make perfect pitches. 2-2 pitch. missed by about six inches and then the breaking ball. infield in. are you trying for a pop up or strike out. maybe a grounder. >> that one to the wall and right off the top of it. it'll be another double. and an rbi. roberts a four hit three double ball game. inbelieveable. red hot. five for 13 in the oakland series and hasn't stopped tonight. >> there you go. >> playing nicely there. is his third with another orioles run and brian knew he

9:42 pm
high chopper. short stop or second -- but right back up the middle. nice at bat by jones. second base hit of the evening for him. fact only markakis is scheduled to come to the plate and weave certify without base hits. >> nine doubles ball game for the orioles. a team that has struggled much of the season looking for the extra base hit. not tonight. looks like he is all right and will be able to go on in the game. >> needed an off day apparently. >> apparently. 12 runs on 16 hits. here is markakis. 0-4. runner at second base. nick trying to extend his 6th game hit streak as so often happens in these kind of games. the hottest hitter in the ball club. >> also trying to extend the
9:43 pm

9:44 pm
>> that throwing hand. looks like he is all right. you see the tape maybe a little cut on the thumb. the or with the eight doubles in the ball game with a new season high in the department. it is eight. he got a triple in the inning. two ball, two strike count. runner on second. markakis waiting on it and a fair ball. right off the line. could be another two bagger. jones will score, markakis has another double. it is a 13-5 game. >> he lash that hanging curve ball. this is why he is so special. 37th double. watch him just go out. he hit that ball sharply. great advantage point right here and you can see that slice
9:45 pm
we talk about off the bat left hander hitting down the left field line. it doesn't slice enough to go foul. 79 rbis now for markakis. the orioles have 17 hits in the ball game. and the pitch will be taken inside by huff. markakis extending his streak to 34 straight games the longest streak in the majors. millar with the orioles record at 52. that will be fouled off one ball one strike count. . orioles had 18 against toronto. they have 17 in this ball game.
9:46 pm
still nobody out. way inside again. bounces away. runner will move to third or did that hit hit foot? >> i think it skipped hit him. if it hit him the runner's have to go back. markakis talking and he will go back. hit by a pitch. huff, now for mike it gets hard as loux is all but imploding trying to get somebody out and he has to pitch. there is nobody up in the bullpen. six up and six on in the inning, four have scored. here is nolan and the pitch is outside for a ball. a double. couple walks, a run scored in the game. 1-0 and it's in there for a
9:47 pm
strike. . >> nolan, pitch came insid he fouled it off. 273. he stands in. he has had the doubles piling up a bit as the season has gonna long. a dozen on the year now. as we said he is acting as a dh for the 4th time this season. one ball, two strike count. markakis on second base. huff at first. the 1-2 check swing, called strike. he gets his first strike out and there is the first out of the inning. >> finally makes a good pitch and for him it seems to me when you look at movement it's not
9:48 pm
about stuff it's about location. he has not made good pitches and the orioles aren't missing them. finally good sinking fast ball and might have been a little low. >> that -- that's a base hit. a single, one run will score. rivera will get it back in and matt picking up a hit and rbi. he has two of them in the ball game. >> sacrifice fly earlier and then another kuive ball that stays up. >> markakis read it well. he was off and going and scored easily on it. huff stops at second base. two rbi ball game for him. he has 17 on the year. >> your responsibility regardless of the scoreboard is to know where they are playing and he got a good read. scored easy. >> the orioles have battered around again. the first inning, they 11 to
9:49 pm
the plate and scored six, here in the 7th they put five runs up and mora is the 9th orioles to hit. he has an rbi base hit in the game. it is in there for a strike. the bullpen -- finally -- mike can only go so long here, loux can't get through this inning. one ball, one strike count. mora to center field. matthews, tagging at second. throw will come into second base. huff will move up over to third. and there are two down. back to the beginning. we will find out if pie can stay in the game. he scored, had a bit of a collision with his hand hitting
9:50 pm
in to naopli's catching equipment and shoe and got up shaking his hand early earlier but he will get his second at bat. >> he need aiz triple for the cycle. >> if anybody can get it he can. >> doubled in the first inning and had the home run in the third. picked up the single in this inning. 14 runs on 18 hits in the game for the orioles. runners at first and third with two down. a monster offensive night for the orioles. >> any time you bat around twice in one game you know it's a pretty good offensive evening. >> weaver the pitcher that got the eight runs on nine came in with a four best opponent batting average at 233. he had a lot of run support but against him teams are not
9:51 pm
hitting a lot. swung on and missed him. the count will go to 1-2. >> weaver when we talked about the fact lackey was hurt, santaa was hurt, we will see them -- they are back. escobar, trying to come back from shoulder surgery. scot shields on the dl. they had all kinds of problems and we were with the mainstay. the one consistent guy. started out 2-1. hadn't lost a game in the last -- assuming he loose this one, expected he will -- >> the opposing pitchers, lackey 5-2, sullivan 3-1, santana 5-6. >> he hasn't lost in three months. >> one his last eight decisions. >> three ball two strike count. have you those nights where you don't make good pitches, you aren't lucky, not a lot of arm
9:52 pm
strength. you try to battle through it. the orioles just didn't let him. >> his last loss was june 20th that ball to right center where they weren't playing him. if he gets it third he has the cycle. matthews get itself in. he hits for the cycle! . all you need a trip exp they play him the left center that sets up this kind of speed. watch him run. >> by the time they get it he is -- there you go.
9:53 pm
and he knew it. it is his first four rbi ball game. first four hit ball game. huff the last orioles to hit for the cycle. plus he made a great defensive play in the out field. >> mike still looking over there staring at him -- i would be excited if i hit for a triple. he earned it. he doesn't get to play often. >> you go get it. >> yeah. >> still looking back. mike is still looking back. you know what? to bad. i have a lot of respect for mike but he is not happy. you know what? they do it night in and out against other teams and i don't think he was showing anybody up. he was just showing his joy.
9:54 pm
that's my read on it. >> i love mike but if he is really angry about that i think he is wrong. >> it's one of those frustrating nights. >> pie rewarding the skipper. a great night as he got the start in left. dave wanted to keep his bat in and the bat -- he put pie in left field. keep that in mind. sosa's anger, just keep it in mind as we go along in this game and the series. >> he is fuming. he is really upset. somebody usually gets tagged at the plate with a pitch when a manager gets that upset. >> we will see. >> yeah. >> hitting for the cycle put up on the board. jose coming onto do the
9:55 pm
pitching. >> last year 10-2. one of the reasons they won 100 games. 50 at home, 50 on the road. >> down to first base. that's a fair ball. morales goes to the bag and gets the out. the orioles have a seven run 7th inning. the offensive star tonight. most benefits our customers. whether that's building more certified green buildings than anyone on earth. creating online banking tools for the next generation. or making a 10 year, $100 million investment in kids. it's how we've always done business. and will for a very long time to come. pnc. leading the way.
9:57 pm
. it's an interesting night that the orioles refused to be stopped in. 16 runs, nine doubles, 12 extra base hits in a 19 hit game all season highs for the orioles. pie hitting for the cycle and we were wondering when he came to the plate if his hand was all right and he would be able to stay in the game and he gives a triple. still looking at the hand but not feeling anything but excitement right now. the orioles with the big lead as we go to the top half of the 8th. albers in relief will work here. >> had an opportunity for matt who struggled in coming in relief. gasp up a double single before he was able to get an out. >> should be pitching any way.
9:58 pm
use all your pitches. >> one ball, one strike count. tillman's chances of getting a win increased a lot with the 7th inning. the one ball one strike breaking ball that he is in for a strike. a home run his tenth. one for three in the ball game, his third against the orioles this season. >> now you can throw him a good curve ball. finish it. throw it out of the strike zone. >> here is the 1-2 on the way. just missed outside with it. >> that doesn't work against him just missing outside. even if bob was up here. >> just a little bit outside. >> not going to work. >> no. >> a two ball two strike count. hitting at 300. take that to right center field. that's a base hit. jones will track it down and
9:59 pm
the night continues. he goes in with a lead off double in the 8th. his second hit of the game. update you on the voting for the player of the game. so far, tillman could be the winner pie who has been one and you can still text in your vote 51862. the results on the post game show. >> reggie will come into pinch run. there he is. >> here is guerrero. he has had two singles, a run scor, and taking a strike on the outside corner. it's not like the angels have not hit tonight. it's just that the orioles have had an explosive 1619 hit attack. guerrero down the third. that's a fair ball. mora are plenty of time.
10:00 pm
>> they will still poupt up as many runs as they can. they are very good offense expif good balance and with a couple exceptions great team speed. >> one down in the 8th. that will bring up rivera. a two for three ball game. >> he could have had another base hit. he took a high fast ball and sent it at huff who turned a double play. great hitting approach. >> orioles defense has played a big part in the ball game as their defense has come up with fine plays. leaders throughout figgins in the first inning. pi. >>gary thornton: made a play at third. he made that fine catch on figgins -- in the third inning. that one jammed him. albers came inside, foul ball.
10:01 pm
>> juan so good over the plate. every once in a while you get him to chase something down and in and he pulls it foul. >> the other play was jones. >> the throw. >> the end of the first inning on a throw at first on rivera. rivera tried to extend the double ended up making the final out at third which let tillman give up the third. that one is going to be in the corner. rivera has his third double of the ball game and his second rbi and makes it a 16-6 game. matt is not fooling anybody. the good news is the orioles still have a ten run lead. it's a little -- you get the day off, again the ability to make the quality pitches that make him effective when he is on a role. >> robb quinlan will come on
10:02 pm
as the pinch runner as rivera will come out of the game. mike getting players off the bench in this one. and the pitch is taken for a strike. morales had a single extending his hit streak to seven games. a one for three ball game. for morales. finding the league to his liking tied for 6th in homers. 9th in rbis. second best slugging percent in the league. chris in the bullpen. morales with a one ball one strike count. one down. and quinlan on at second base. its stopped, ball in the dirt and the count will go to 2-1.
10:03 pm
pretty good ability there, that was one of the better curve balls, just not a strike but down and in. got on top of it. >> that pitch is taken away. tiger shut own kansas. they are two and a half ahead of chicago starting the day. the yankee have a six and a half game lead over boston and the angels four and a half over texas in the west. foul back. >> how about -- how about bur lander? he has -- >> some of the best ball he has pitched. >> they had the radar gun in the 8th, 96, 96, 94, 99, 99,
10:04 pm
100. >> said he knew he was going to pitch the eight. >> swung on and missed. went upstairs. more strike out victim. the first for albers. >> 25 home runs, 22 hitting left handed and he has been hitting hard. get ahead, something matt hasn't been able to do and when he does stay in the strike zone. morales chases. >> two down. texas only a half game behind boston in the wild card and a big seerdz has started in texas. the red sox and texas are tied at two in the 6th. obviously for texas they are still looking at the shot at the angels in the division lead. grounded to short. making the play to huff and getting the out. retired, a ru and it's a and can automatically

the dangers of driver fatigue increase by 200%. but with attention assist, your new e-class can actually detect drowsy driving behavior... and warn you. this is the new e-class. this is mercedes-benz. . assist of the game. >> tillman trying to get out of the first inning. he would give up the second of his two runs and then adam jones after rivera doubles, tries to stretch it to third base and there you go. orioles come back with six runs in the bottom of the first to take the lead. >> quinlan will stay in the
10:07 pm
game after pinch running playing left field. jose came onto get the final out in the last inning and he will work in the bottom half of the 8th. the orioles leading and roberts at the plate will take it for a strike. brian has had a three doubles ball game, a four hit game. looking for his first five hit gam ever. he has had three four hit ball this year and in his career he has 13 times had a four hit ball game. he has never had a five hit game. one ball one strike to him, a breaking ball. that will miss and a two ball one strike count. additions he has had two rbis and two runs scored. and a ground ball to second

10:13 pm
worked pretty well a. >> naopli getting a base hit into left field. he has a two hit ball game. two for four. he will have a five game hit streak coming into the game orm if he is in it. >> if you are chris ray and you watch albers it wasn't about speed, matt was from 93 to 97. when he was in the middle of the plate and gives you the indication and you said it best. kendrick will pinch hit. >> he will be hitting for matthews batting 9th in the order. a runner on at first. double digits in hits now on the board for the angels. they have a dozen of them in the game. ken direction on a checked swing but went around on that one trying to hold up. for kendrick on the season the 273 seven home runs and 41

10:21 pm
verizon and what a night for pie. only the 4th orioles to hit for the psyche expl two of the four happen to be hall of famers, brooks robinson and cal ripkin. a five rbi night and the orioles break out of it and yes robert after adam jones whipped on the pie in the face he came back and fought pie and you know hu a good night rick if you get a pie in the face. they needed a game like this. he hadn't been hitting well. in fact in the three games against oakland they scored a total of seven runs. in the 7th inning in the game they scored seven. >> i know. 31 hits between both teams on the night. 14 doubles, two triples, two home runs. if you don't like offense you wouldn't have liked the gamet. doesn't surprise me the way it's been going that they are only 1-2 in pie for the faces. >> the way the game went they had nine doubles, that tie aiz club record. they also had 12 extra base
10:22 pm
hits. that ties a record for most in the game and looked like once they started to break it open they all loosened up. >> pretty much like they were hitting the ball last year where they had frenzies with big crooked numbers. that's what they did. tonight looked much like that. everybody loosened up and got on track. the 1-2 hitter in the line up and i think they had 13 hits on the night. >> before we get the game highlights let's look at the night pie had. it started out as he said not well because he made a throwing error but he made it up. >> pretty good shot. breaking ball in the zone. he pulled it down in to the coulder near. corner. another shot for a third hit and this goes out of the ballpark. look at thrks good breaking ball, night for him. he hung on that ball all night
10:23 pm
long. they kept throwing. there is the home run part of the cycle. sinker now. finding the hole right now. no way they will throw him out at first base. that's his 4th hit of the night. he swung the bat excellent all night long. it didn't matter what they threw it he was on it all lock. replay there's but it was still only four. >> he dwet gets the single. gets the most difficult hit of the cycle, the triple as his final base hit and there it is. the 4th player in orioles history to hit for the cycle. four for five on the night. a big night at the plate. single, double, triple and home run. he made up for it tonight and goes 4-5 and hits for the
10:24 pm
cycle. chris tillman, pitched three straight no decisions in his first three starts. he wanted his first big league win and pitched well. couple time these got to him, he would bend but not break. the manager is in. let's go downstairs. post game comments from dave. >> long time coming. feels good for everybody. go head. >> you have to wonder where the offense is coming from. quite a few nights -- have one of these. >> was bound to happen. we answered that today when i did -- anita marks show. said you know have you so many good guys, soonerrer later they will start hitting. sooner or later.
10:25 pm
they did tonight. >> they played a heck of a game at short stop. i know the scores -- kind of one sided but he played a heck of a game. you know that's a big play to start the game off. we were talking before the game about him and he was out early working on his footwork and release and that to set the tone of a series on the first night and the first inning. that is good for him. that told him the other day, i said you will get -- catch the day game, have the day off and here we go and you better be read i. he said they all run right and i said yes they do. >> how important was that first inning, had a throw out at third and then six runs. tillman had faced five batters and only got one and then you got six. >> he starts off hesitates and then worked his way into it and his fast ball got better the
10:26 pm
longer he goes out there he has a little bit -- he quickened up and more downhill with his fast ball. starting off the game -- i think he was feeling for it. then -- probably threw more curve balls tonight. his change up was better than his curve ball. that's what i thought. >> kind of been a long year for pie and what does this game mean for him? >> you know probably makes him feel good because he has put a lot of hard work in. you know he has turned the corner. i think he has really turned the corner has far as being a professional and being accepted in the clubhouse and bringing energy when he plays. he brings a lot of energy. you know i think you should
10:27 pm
probably talk to crow about it and felix. they put a lot of time in. lot of time. >> orioles history, i 1954 aubrey and then ripkin, brews brooks, have you ever seen one? >> we saw huff do it. you know for pie to do it, he is in pretty special company isn't he? he is in special company. >> unusual. >> i think that's -- if i'm not mistaken i think that's the first infield hit he has had all year. you might want to look it up. i think that might be the first infield hit he has had all year. maybe he had one more but i can't remember it which makes it really -- you know even more unique. >> [inaudible], when he goes
10:28 pm
deep. >> you know you better -- they had this those guys in here doing the drug testing lately and probably asked to do that and check his -- he said he would have a big series. his turn to turn the tables on his brother. that was fun tonight. that was fun. ha was fun. should go talk to them. >> so the manager and his post game comments as the orioles win it 16-6 on 19 base hits and it was an extra base hit all capped off by pie hitting for the cycle. we are in the booth because it's fireworks night. let's look at the player of the game and look at those beautiful fireworks e exploding. pie, 58% of the vote giv -- the

10:32 pm
but to get the win. >> it was good. especially the hometown team, they were my favorite team as a kid. my mom and i were talking about that. it was good -- especially for pie. exciting to see that. it's fun. >> hard for a rookie to see some of the best hitters like the angels walk in to the box, especially being a hometown fan of that team and not focusing on the name on the back of the jersey. how were you able to not to do that? >> it was hard. first inning i was riled up. they told me between inning, settle down, just throw as hard as possible. you know i have to kind of go out and try to do to mucht. was good. >> after the first inning what let you settle in? wa was working? >> i felt like my change up was down the zone. >> man. we tried to hide new the
10:33 pm
hallway and they still got you. you know that's something you will remember just like your first win. it stinks a bit but to go up and be able to walk away with the win -- this was a guy that had a batting average lower than 297, what did you learn about yourself? tivment was good to go out against a hometown team like that. not having my best stuff, it taught me a lot. we had to battle the whole game. craig said you have to battle and it was fun. >> and the defense in the first inning how much did that give you a bit of a boost with jones getting you out of the inning and weeders throwing out figgins. >> absolutely. that was huge. felt -- hitting the bouncing ballt. was good to see them obviously play good defense and rally behind me. >> always good to have the run support, we will let you go. >> thank you.

>> amber. thank you. there he is in the middle of a talk with amber and suddenly he can't see. who was that masked man? look at the numbers. six and two thirds, three earned on seven base hits. struck out three. dave left him into try to get the final out. pitch count up to 106 and tillman came out. he settled down after a rocky start. >> he did. i called it about an equal effort to his last outing against the blue jays. this one started off crazy in the first. he walked two and then guerrero, unbelievable. i have only seen this, i have been in this game 43 years, only seen it twice and by the same guy. he hit a ball that bounced to home plate and then in the 4th inning of the game catching one right here. the only bad pitch he made after this first inning goes for a home run and the angels try to make a little bit of a come back score in three but he
10:35 pm
does a good job pitching to the spots. naopli trying to catch up with the fast ball up and away. the orioles turn good defensive plays behind him which is what are you supposed to do. keep the ball in place. save yourself pitches. the orioles defense on top of the game just like with the other fence. >> tillman walks off. and behind any outstanding pitching effort you need good defense. as amber talked about with chris in the first inning two runs allowed and two outs recorded on the bases. not even at the plate. without them would knows man night have happened. the defense behind tillman was as much the reason that he won and the orioles won. >> you know -- you have to have good defense behind you and this is something that the orioles have been working on all season long. watch this play by jones. he catches up with the ball. all have you to do is hit the cut off man. he makes a good through to
10:36 pm
first base by the cut off man. they get rivera at third. this stops a huge rally for the angels. outs like that come back to haunt you. later on figgins with a play out here to left. look at the catch by pie. outstanding running, diving catch just like in toronto to save the game. pie was on his game two with a cycle and defense. what a game cuts down the run. almost getting the double play. another good play at short stop. he has been solid for them all season long. again tonight he comes outs on top. >> matt with the tag there. a big game and two outs recorded on the bases in the first to help out tillman. what's that rule? you don't make the final out at third base trying to stretch and that's what helped out the orioles. we are here in the broadcast booth. it's fireworks night at orioles
10:37 pm
10:39 pm
snoo brian roberts had a hu night. hitting four straight. his nine for his last 18. let's head down, amber is with him. >> brian. obviously just an exciting night for the team. offensively, defensively to have eye a rookie pitcher, the team gets a shot in the arm when they needed. >> hopefully. we will see what happens after this. it was -- it was a good night for us and the fans. happy for chris to get that one under his belt. felix hasn't gotten a lot of opportunities to play and to go out against that kind of team and do what he did was -- it's
10:40 pm
great, a accomplishment. >> for chris to gap against such a line up what does take say? >> he was great. he could have folded early in the game. they had him on the ropes a few times. he is very poised. he showed great composure. you could see that tonight. that's what you really do see it against team that good. they can do -- they can beat new so many ways and he kind of -- he helped himself by getting them to the plate quick and giving matt a chance to throw out figgins. >> [inaudible]. >> you don't expect them to score 16 runs but when it starts to role it just happens sometimes and a lot of us needed that and it was fun and helped everybody relax. i'm sure it was nice for chris to have support. you know hopefully its something that carries over.
10:41 pm
>> it seem aiz night that you were really aggressive, ton of doubles, set a franchise record for them. just really aggressive? >> i think everybody played really well. we didn't have -- i think we took chances when we needed to. adam worked in to a hustle double and i tried to push issue once or twice and juan is always aggressive at third. i think that's how you have to play. >> another night d. >> i feel pretty good. starting to get in a little bit of a groove and things are starting to turn around a bit and it goes in cycles. you just try to ride the good as long as possible. >> thank you. >> brian roberts four out of six his third four hit game on the year. three of those hits doubles. batting average back up to 290. he has 37 base hits since the
10:42 pm
all-star break. he is nine for his past 18. big night for roberts on fireworks night. >> i saw roberts do what he does quite often is he starts the ball game off with a double. he catches a fast ball down the right field line. easy double for brian. he came into the night leading the league with 40 doubles, three more on the night. in the 7th almost a home run off the top of the wall. bobby trying to get him at second. no chance. roberts, three doubles and now he leads the league in double was 43. >> let's take a look at how the orioles came from behind. the angels got two in the first. here is huff. he would double the drive in two and four batters in the game is tied. >> the opposite way, out over the plate. the orioles needed this hit right here to come back from
10:43 pm
down two and he goes to the gap. that double. >> later in the first inning ceasar comes up and has a flare into the left field. driving in two more and 6-2. >> three hits on the night find that hole down the left field line. over the head of the baseman. the orioles now with a six run first inning go up by four. >> here is pie bottom of the third. boom there it goes. >> ahold of one to right center field. this is the home run part of the cycle here. the orioles after this go up 7- 2 at this part in the game. >> bottom of the 5th roberts three doubles on the night. this double making a 9-3 game and they give the orioles much needed breathing room. >> another breaking ball down and in. roberts serving it down the right field line right by bobby. he probably thought brian was picking on hip. knew he could get the doubles. >> one of those hustle doubles
10:44 pm
he just talked about. there is the line. 16 roneos 19 hits. one error on the throw. chris tillman his first big league win and against his hometown team. weaver the loss. pie hitting for the cycle and roberts four out of six with three doubles and a couple rbis. the hit parade, season highs in the game 16 runs, nine of the extra base hits doubles, that ties the franchise high for a game. extra base hits 12 of those ties the high and the 19 base hits a season high. when you get that support it does get contagious. >> it makes it a lot easier on tillman to go out and try to make pitches. this is one thing the orioles should do at home and especially at home because they are one of the best home hitting team is to give the pitcher a lead and let him make a mistake. when they realize they can just

10:46 pm
is my favorite because it has so much flavor. so i wanted to design a glass that would enhance the taste of boston lager. we did a laser etch on the bottom. it releases the hops aromas this bulb is for collecting aromas. there's a little ridge on the inside. and that allows you to sense the hops as it enters your mouth. the way this hits your tongue, you really get the full flavor out of sam adams lager. having a boston lager in this glass was like tasting a boston lager for the first time again.
10:47 pm
. my player to watch weaver, i'm back with in seven. neither of us should roberts or pie but the two rbis gets me a rare win. a look at tomorrow's starters for game two of the set. the ace for the angels sks lackey and mad is. >> mardies are be back on the mound. good -- major league debut. not so good his second game. had a -- he will be back on the mound looking for his second win against lackey. he comes in with a career win
10:48 pm
loss record of 7-3. looking for his 8th win of the season. good era for them. >> lackey the ace, very good era. as it was the angels that drafted him out of high school. he went to san diego university, orioles happy because they got him. thank you for joining us. for the entire career so long on fireworks night the orioles explode for 16 runs on 19 hits. more on tonighte's game turn on the radio and the orioles radio network. have a great rest of the night. see you tomorrow night. game two of the series. t leas. i love it! i just want to know it's the right move. thirteen days in the future. you get a deal on the car you always wanted. scheduled maintenance is included, it's all good. what's the future like?
