aubrey huff takes ball one against andrew miller. tigers' first- round pick in 2006, and he was in tigers' organization through 2007, but then he was one of the focal points of that big trade buck talked about when dontrelle willis and miguel cabrera went to the tigers. so the tigers had to give up some young talent. that was a 5-2 trade that the marlins pulled off and miller was really the focal point of that deal. >> buck: andrew miller and another, those two probably the two keys to the entire trade. >> jim: high chopper to first. right there to cantu and he'll go toking the band the orioles go three up, three down for a third consecutive inning. 12 in a row retired by andrew miller.

so andrew miller goes seven innings. one run on one hit. four base runners off miller. two walks, a hit and an error. >> buck: the first and only hit was to the first batter he faced. nothing after that. >> jim: there is a strike. >> buck: what is more impressive is he is a left- hander and the orioles faced three left-handers in philadelphia and handled them off, including cole hamels on sunday. >> jim: the lead runner is baker the, the catcher, and gload is the trail runner at first. another one in the dirt, and another one smootherred by wieters. >> buck: when you call for that split-finger pitch, the only place it is going to beat you is down in important of you in the dirt. so you have to anticipate going to your knees and blocking a ball. he blocks that one a little more effectively. he snared it in the webbing of his glove. >> jim: ground ball edwards the hole. there is a base hit. reimold is charging. the runner will be held at third. the third base coach saw that reimold was charging in on that ball, and he held the runner, so the marlins really have a big rall

he is one of the three strikeouts recorded by andrew miller. that is high. iller is making his 43rd start. 13-19 in his career. again uehara fouls it off. koji has one walk this year, but not a base hit. he just get as piece of it, if nothing else. >> buck: he is getting closer to the field! >> jim: and he is making miller work a little bit. >> buck: managers have very, very mixed emotions about pitchers' at-bats, pes personally managers during interleague play. >> jim: he puts it in play at right field. jeremy hermida has it for the out and one down here in the sixth inning. let's go back to the first inning. brian roberts leading off the game and he got it going. >> buck: then the wild pitch and that mos brian roberts and that sets up nick markakis for a textbook sac fly opportunity. he delivers flying out to left field to chris coghlan that was the first run of the ballgame. the florida marlins tied it up on dan uggla's 14th home run of the season. extra-base hits by middle infielders. brian roberts is tied with freddy sanchez of the pirates. ian sanchez c

the one thing about andrew miller, even though his e.r.a.s 4.56, he does keep the baseball in the ballpark. he has allowed only two home runs on the year. both to right-handed batters. and he has allowed only one home run over his last five starts coming into this game. >> buck: you can see the last couple of balls sharply hit. they were on the ground. you're not going to get them elevated when you're in the zone. he has pitched much better here in this ballpark. this is a pretty good pitcher's ballpark. it is not unlike fenway park when if you keep the hitters to center and right field, you have a lot of room to pick up some outs. >> jim: matt wieters takes. 2-0, the count on matt. wieters, 1-07 -- 1-7 on the trip. he caught two of the three games in philadelphia. gregg zaun lad the huge game when he caught on saturday night. matt started friday and sunday. he is batting at .246. there is a high chopper towards third. bonifacio in to play the hop and quickly across and the orioles go three up and three down on three ground ball outs. the mi

nowhere near the caliber arm of matt lindstrom, but he is up here trying to preserve this win for andrew miller>> jim: jeremy guthrie is pinch running and ty wigginton is on. the tying run and the go-ahead run at first. and here is salazar who pinch hit in the eighth and singled and stayed in the game. the orioles trying to have a ninth inning come back. and it is low, 1-0. >> buck: here is a big hole object the right side of the infield and salazar is not shy about spreading the ball all over the diamond. there is a big gap there between first and second. >> jim: fouled it back. pretty good cut. 1-1 on salazar. the orioles got two in the eighth, both charged to leo nunez and two here in the ninth. one hit in the first seven innings and one hit. and a base hit up the middle! salazar tied the game! what a comeback for the orioles! salazar off the bench, 2-2, and a three-run ninth inning, what a comeback for the birds! >> buck: three runs with two outs. two outs and nobody on when they started this rally, and oscar salazar, we have talked about him getting big hits. he is just a hitter. he gets h

so the orioles through the first seven innings against andrew miller, one run on one hit. in this inning, three consecutive hits. >> buck: they're thrilled miller is out of the game. 0-1 on roberts. lined down the right-field line foul. that goes into the bullpen where sanchez was getting loose. it nearly hit sanchez. >> buck: it really did. somebody yelled look out and he accept stepped out of the way just in time. sanchez is likely getting loose just in case adam jones' at-bat is critical in this inning. markakis is on deck aleft- handed batter. the ball knocked down by john baker. brian, 1-2, and he has also walked. here is andino at third and salazar at first and still nobody on. >> buck: brian has hit two bleats leer tonight. he lined out right at the left fielder in the second inning and he walked in the sixth. >> jim: inside, ball two. brian roberts has a tremendous batting eye, even when he is down in the count, buck. he rarely chases. if you're going to try to make him chase, you're making a terrible mistake. the confidence, even went down in the count. >> buck: we

. >> rob: that's andrew miller, the lefty sitting there. pretty good arms on their side of the field too. they've got andrew miller, dontrelle willis, miguel cabrera trade. great, young left-hander. >> bob: ryan zimmerman this year having a very ought year -- odd year in one respect. he's hitting .333 against right- handers and well under .300 against lefties. 0-2 here. he's gone for the second out. first strikeout by sean west. adam dunn coming up. >> rob: well, 0-2. this is a perfectly placed breaking ball right here in on his feet on the ground. >> bob: if you hit it, it's going to hurt. >> rob: if you hit it, it's going to be foul or in the ground. you can't hit that fair. it looks good coming in and then bottom drops out of it have. especially from a 6'8" guy. >> bob: how about the size of this matchup? that's a short hopper to uggla in right field. the nats go in order in the top of the third. they've outhit the marlins 3-2 and it's time.   >> bob: nats fans well represented here in south florida whenever we

still we haven't scored enough runs at the right time. >> the scouting report now on the pitcher andrew millerleft-hander for the marlins. >> miller he is at landslashing stadium, he is a great white. that's where the marlins play their games at. he is 2-0 at home with a 3.50 e.r.a. those are pretty good numbers, so he feels pretty come fee down in florida right now. home runs and walks, it doesn't make sense to me. for some reason he only gives up .35 home runs per nine innings-a start, but he gives up almost five walks per game. how do you win any ballgame when you walk five guys per game? it doesn't make sense to me. >> as for the key to the game, what would it be? >> the key to the game, we've got a -- we to lead them into the eighth with the lead. the orioles have been outstanding in their last six ballgames. they have outscored the opponents 12-0 in the last six games in the last two innings in the eighth and ninth which tells you a little bit about our bullpen. they have been outstanding. so let's go, boys. do whatever you can to get that lead by the start of the eighth inning. >> rick,

about him a little bit because that was the only hit andrew miller allowed over seven innings. a dumb double in his first at-bat here ghent again tonight. swinging the bat very aggressively had a great series in philadelphia. five rbi's -- five rbi's including two game winners. >> jim: the voters -- the orioles have won each of the interleague series. one of those a sweep. that was against the phillies first stop on this trip. if they're going to continue that trend, they would have to win tonight for a chance to get the second game tomorrow. they took 2-3 in washington and then they got 2-3 from the mets, 2-3 from the braves in the three-game sweep in philadelphia. brian thriens and caught by the second baseman uggla on the soft line drive and orioles go three up, three down for a second consecutive inning. middle of the third in florida. martin luther king wans 2-0 lead.

andrew miller held the lefties to seven hits over the first inning and that was the first batter of then roberts. you saw bastardo and cole hamels in philadelphia and cole hamels, of course, has steapd established himself as one of the premier left-handers in all of baseball. it's a challenge when you're not really swing the bat the way you would like and then you compound that with a whole lineup of left-handed starters. >> jim: on a four-pitch walk with two men down, markakis on base a second time. first walk allowed by sean west. west coming off a loss. he lost to the yankees last friday night. lasted only four innings and allowed five runs on 10 hits as adam jones comes up representing the tying run. markakis now will take his lead from first. that's over, but low, 1-0. he had won his prior two starts before facing the yankees in interleague play. two wins since coming up from double-a. he made eight starts in the minors. this is his seventh for themarlins. he misses inside adam jones with ball two. adam popped out to second base his first at-bat. he's now 0-8 in the series and 0--
