about filling in for the injured matt wieters. don't know where matt wieters fits right now as far as rehabbing that elbow is concerned. he got off to a good start this season swinging the bat the way they've always hoped he could and he catches and calls games, blocks balls in the dirt and throws extremely well. joseph has had a nice night tonight. >> gary: finally getting his major league chance. wieters is throwing every other day. there's the oriole closer zach britton. throwing every other day just soft toss up to about 90 feet. the arm they're worried whether or not tommy john surgery would be required on the elbow. and july 1 is the cutoff date to make that decision. >> bill: so tommy johns is not just for pitchers anymore. >> gary: no, it isn't. can you believe the conga line for tommy johns? >> bill: i cannot. i think what is in more disbelief the guys lining up for the second. t.j. squared is what they're calling that one.

>> gary: one ball, one strike count on flaherty. the base hit. he has walked and has grounded out. two down here. francis with the delivery. dr. james andrews and the medical institute put out a paper a couple weeks ago talking about tommy john, has become such an issue and so prevalent, you cannot have youngsters playing ball 12 months out of the year. it's that they pitch too much. they're throwing too many pitches, playing on travel teams, playing all year long. the arms have to rest especially for young kids. >> bill: and when you get to the point we are with this tommy john and how it's developed, it's not just one thing, it's multiple things. i wonder if the body was ever made to throw 98 to 100 miles an hour. i'm leaning towards no. >> gary: i know one body that wasn't, and you're look iing at it.

>> gary: back here at camden yards the orioles have the 6-3 lead. the a's very much within striking distance if they can get somebody on here in the ninth inning. they have cespedes, lowrie, and o'day will stay on for the moment for the orioles. he got the two outs in the eighth. the one hopper. flaherty, a long stretch by davis and they get the out on cespedes. >> bill: j.j. hardy goes to his right, makes the backhand, the long throw across the diamond,

chris davis with a nice stretch to get the out. >> gary: gold glover at short. hardy is one of those shorms who doesn't have the overpowering arm but has that clock in his head. he knows when the ball has to get to first base. >> bill: the internal clock is very important. because of his quick release and everything else that he brings to the table, a very solid, dependable shortstop. you never see him on the highlight reels. i don't need my infielders to make diving plays. >> gary: lowrie will foul that one off. howry is 0-3 in the ball game. ninth inning.

one town. o'day working. he's not the closer. buck showalter is sending o'day back out so he has a chance. finish this ball game up. 0-2 delivery and that ball to left field low. two down. o'day can can't get a save. you can't create your own save. he gave up -- actually he gave up the two runs both charged to matusz. matusz was charged on two runs so he can. >> bill: you can create your own save by that formula. >> gary: if you're not charged with them. o'day is on here in the ninth with two down.

vogt is 0-3 in the ball game. and the pitch is taken for a strike. but o'day came on with more than a three-run different shell. here is the 0-1. and that will had be fouled away. >> bill: back to the first statement. >> gary: you cannot create your own save. >> bill: you were making me think about it. now we can say you created it. but they weren't his runs. by the line score it will look like he was but he can't. >> gary: it's when you came in the game and that's going to be a base hit.

vogt is on with a two-out single in the ninth and again for the a's trying to get the potential tying run to the plate top of the ninth inning. callaspo and sogard due up here. there are two down in the ninth. orioles trying to win the second game. oakland had the 4-3 win last night. 0-3. callaspo 0 for his last 18. >> bill: callaspo's job is to clearly get on base. coming off the bench for oakland who smashes left-handed pitching and has homer power. this is a huge at-bat here for callaspo trying to keep this line moving for the oakland a's.

>> gary: the runner goes. down to second base, vogt. no play made on it. >> bill: the 0-1 pitch. more of a sideways run. stays more on the plane, true plane. >> gary: 0-2 the count on callaspo. o'day brings it inside to him. >> bill: he yanked it if in. the defense i understand the rule. if he hits the ball in the hole to j. squchlt hardy and gets a base hit because there's no force at second and the tying run comes up to home plate is it really defensive indifference? >> gary: 1-2 delivery.

and it doesn't miss. so the strikeout recorded by o'day and that will end the ball game here in the ninth inning. no runs, one hit, no errors. one left on base. the orioles 6-7-1. the a's 3-7-0. up next we'll send it back to our los angeles studios for postgame coverage right after these messages. ♪

following the os 6-3 win over the a's in baltimore. baltimore's third win in their last ten home games. we saw that dustup yesterday that seemed to fire up the os offense. >> none of us agree with what machado did last night. they came out, played inspired baseball. sometimes it takes a young superstar to fire up older guys. you get complacent at the big league level. they showed they still have a chance in this eastern division. >> kevin gausman a guy they have high hopes for considering the way this rotation sits right now. >> a very tough oakland a's lineup. we know what they do. he was good today. the slider we haven't seen a lot

of is a where with where he gets donaldson. a plus, plus change-up. one of the best from a young pitcher. high hopes for him. lake you said that rotation is not in the greatest shape. >> baltimore improves to 31-29 on the season. next saturday on fox baseball night in america features the angels and braves, the nats at the cardinals or the reds taking on the brewers. up next on fox it's your late local news followed by a double episode of "animation domination." enjoy the rest of your weekend.

because they didn't run in the kentucky derby or preakness races. >> you know what? he's been in three -- this is his third very big race. i'm 61 years old. i'll never see in my lifetime, i'll never see another triple crown winner because of the way they do this. it's not fair to these horses that have been in the game since day one. >> the winning horse, tonalist, did not run in either of the two previous races. here in the bay area, where california chrome is trained, people gathered in hopes of watching the horse make history. >> ktvu's john sasaki was at berkeley's golden gate fields where the excitement quickly turned to disappointment right in the blink of an eye. ♪ >> reporter: the sounds of horse racing echoed around golden gate fields today. and the crowd cheered the races here. but it was nothing like the main event live from new york, as california chrome went for the triple crown.
