brian roberts, a single, run scored, 1-3. that one in the gap into left center field. he has a base hit and he'll make his way to second base. no play from bloomquist and a leadoff double. >> buck: 35th double of the season. 290th double of his career as he closes in on that 300 double plateau. brian roberts leads it off in the seventh inning trying to get some insurance batting from the right side for the first time tonight. looks like he got a cut fastball slider on the i be i had -- inside part of the plate and rips it in the gap in left center. >> gary: so, the leading doubles man in the american league adds another and brian roberts potential big run in the ballgame as adam jones will stand in 1-2, intentional walk and his 16th home run and two rbi's that came in the first inning. orioles now with eight hits in the ballgame. they'll hold roberts close. swung and -- and missed. brian, by the way, those 35 doubles a-couple ahead of adam lind of toronto who has 33. pedroia, butler of kansas city with 31 and then nick markaki

enter by going tomasensports.com and margaret has already won bought brian roberts home run. >> jim pare the flags. roberts led off the game with a home run. you saw hunter take adam jones to the base of the wall so fly balls will travel this afternoon in anaheim. >> jim h: reimold takes low. he is not in the lineup last night but in this is his third start in four game in the series. continues to adjust here at the big-level level. >> jim p: that's a good way to put it because they're adjusting. popped up to right field. guerrero calls and has it for the out. rye mole is retired. you know, the rookie of the month, as he was, hit .320 and a bunch of home runs and not only drove in runs, he scored 13 runs and balked 13 times -- everybody pace attention. there's more pressure on you in the sense they will really work on you. so we have seen up and in and breaking balls away. still been pretty disciplined as we look at luke scott. >> jim h: fouls it back. the other hitter i notice with the orioles as of late that is getting different pitches andino because she playing every day so there'

brian roberts plays the hop and gets it to first. brian bass pitches out of it.y done.  hi, my meeting got moved up. i need to change my southwest flight. woman over phone: no problem. you know, maybe other people are content to sit around and wait. wait for something to happen. for business to pick up. but for you, it's time to kick it in gear. time to get going. time to get tough. take control. you're not gonna run and hide. because backing down's not your style. grab your bag. it's on.

brian roberts cops up here. and then izturis. >> starting the game off for the orioles with this bullet to right center field. the run scores izturis from first base. >> jim h: two minute late, markakis delivers a run, and brian roberts scores. and then oscar salazar will hit the home run to left field. now batting .419. >> jim p: just on the outside corner, but salazar hooks that ball into is the bleachers. orioles up 3. >>> knew brian roberts throughs the last run to the orioles, that scores izturis. >> jim p: and again, that's brian roberts starting to pick up the pace again. drives in the 4th run for the orioles. that's a big one right there. >> jim h: 7 base hits for the birds. again, 0 oscar salazar with his second homer of the season. dave trembley standing by at his press conference, and i being brought to youpy inter-- don wireless. >> hits when we needed it. were talking about some of those guys this morning in the dugout. roberts had ad a big game, and obviously as is. salazar is probably one of the m

and the pitch taken inside by brian roberts. he is still battling a sinus infection for which i have great empathy. he has been fighting it for a couple of weeks now and it's taken a lot of strength from him. that's why he had to sit out a few games. the flu has really taken hold along major league and you can understand why, sitting in hotel rooms. >> jim: with brett cecil, when the arm comes back, that's not one of the normal swings. it hangs behind him. a lot of times, it's difficult to get back. watch it right about there. way behind him. >> gary: he's all over the place to start the ballgame. a 3 balls 3-1 count. >> jim: watch again. he wraps. again, that's a lot difficult to get the arm up and get it into position. so you try to find that release point. at least this year it's been a little bit more difficult for him. >> gary: and that is a strike. he came along in a hurry. he has had only 51 minor league games. he came through three different levels last year to make it this season to the majors. he was 8-5 with a .280 e.

he threw him four the last time and that led to the walk and brian roberts, great effort on the x mo, trying to get the ball before it gets into the outfield. >> gary: we'll see how brian butterfield, the acting manager, wants to play this. rios will take it inside for a ball. another one of the numbers we talk b you get a leadoff man on, how often do you score in the american league average, 422%, orioles just below that. but really right there at the average of 40%. that's the average. >> jim: that's actually down. they used to be around 49 to 50% every year. it used to go down to 15% when you got the first guy out. that's a big, big difference. >> gary: here is the 1-1 delivery. berken wanted the call, didn't get it. >> jim: and you may tell a pitcher about, okay, strike 1, because sometimes, 120, 130 point in the batting average versus ball 1, how about that number? i need to get the first guy out? oh, yes, you do because there is about a 30% difference or maybe greater. and depending upon what point in the line-up you are, you have a guy that can steal, you know, halladay loses y

brian roberts is going to get the rbi chance. brian has had a single. ed a run. top of the order, which had such a miserable night offensively last night, tonight they have delivered. roberts has got a hit and scored. jones has been on base three times. he has scored tice. he has a hit. markakis has a two for four, he has scored two runs in the ball game, so top of the order has been there in this one. >> which is usually the case for the orioles. that one for 16, the only hit that thai got was huff. >> gary: buried in the territory by thompson, and a 1- 0 count. thompson has been working behind, jepsen worked behind, and santana, the startedder, spent at bats working behind the oriole hitters. that has been a problem for the three pitchers who have been on the mound for the angels in this ball game. 10 hits now for the orioles. here is the delivery to roberts, and that's going to miss. melvin mora is at third, wieters is on at first. and roberts trying to bring at least one of them home here with two down. and it matters, in light of the two runs picked

brian roberts scores.> buck: a shot back over the mound into second. aubrey huff, ease the pain a bit, picking up an rbi, bullet off a lefthanded pitcher. missed hitting a home run early in the game and this pitch is up out over the plate and you can see mahay as it comes right back at him. >> gary: aubrey had not an rbi in this the tenth game, so he takes care of that. now runners at first and second, two down for reimold. that pitch is up high for a ball. so this bullpen that had worked 9 innings against the orioles without giving up a run has surrendered five runs in this ball game. brian the 1-0 count. a couple of pitches that weren't even close, 0-for-2, a couple of walks tonight. he gets to face the lefthander right here. nolan has 17 multihit games. that pitch is taken down low for a ball. 3-0. we get some flavor of the suffering for kansas city in this game. been the story of their season, you get a start like greinke. the offense doesn't score runs, you bring the bullpen in and it falls apart. tha

brian roberts top of the order. he has singled, walked, and grounded out in the ground. the ball game. >> jim: the first two pitchers, danks, born in austin texas, the same with scott linebrink. now lives in taylor texas. john daves now living in round rock. a couple of texans out there. >> gary: linebrink 1-1 delivery on the way. roberts will take a strike in the corner. didn't think so. lifted the participates up, and the count will go to 1-2. five straight scoreless outings for linebrink over 6 and 2:3 innings. he is the hold man for the white sox over the years. and roberts takes that one to the corner in right field, dye going back, and that's going to take a bounce off the wall. roberts on his way in. he'll get a double, and he had to hustle as dye rifleled one -- rifled one on-line. >> jim: he just hustled it over, going to be a curveball, inside middle, and brian roberts, hen he gets hot, he doesn't miss that pitch very much. watch this throw. just one thing about jermaine dye, he came up with tony carrasco, they were two young players. >> roberts one of only two

jeremy guthrie is going to make spanish tortillas, brian roberts is still undecided.y moment, guthrie informed me that the spanish tortillas are a spanish dish from spain so i'm glad he told me that because i would not have been able to figure that out. when i called hill on it, he did tell me french toast is not from france so he did feel a need to clarify. >> as i understand it, whichever of the three players wins, that dish will be added to the menu at espnzone, is that right? >> amber: that is right. and gregg zaun is very excited about that. he said at first he wanted to make some sort of omelet, but he found out they didn't have eggs. but he thinks hissen chill lad das will get there.

brian roberts snares it. >> buck: good jump by brian roberts that. ball wasn't really scorched. back liner. epd he has a bead on it. callaspo does a good job freezing on the line drive. toad make sure that ball was pass roberts. it's not. he has to retreat and get back to first. >> gary: the old humpback liner. >> buck: just not hard enough. >> gary: here is brayan pena. runner goes. swung on and fouled off trying to protect the runner and took the home plate umpire marty foster. callaspo going. pena reached out and foster caught all of that one. >> buck: here he's going to take time to regroup. it's a hit-and-run. runners going. pena just gets a piece of it and wieters was coming out of the chute to make a throw. he didn't provide protection from the umpire marty foster. took that one on the left foot. >> gary: he has those guards on overt upperpart of the shoe. that caught him. looked like just below it. 0-1 count. pena. callaspo back to first base not running in the air to left field. reimold two down, runner back to the bag. tomorrow, rookie pitcher chris tillman expected to

but he's really the brian roberts of this ball club. i mean, he steals bases, has the most steals. 24, been caught seven times on base. he and brian robbers both have the same amount of runs scored, so that's your job as a lead- off guy. >> gary: you'll note the red hats been worn. they're been worn around baseball for the 4th of july. bobby abreu coming up. oriole fans know all about him from last night. >> jim: yeah, high change-up the first time, only a solo, and then watch this swing. got that front arm, and you can see the body language kind 0 tells you jacoby guthrie thought he made a great pitch, and it was until it landed in the bleachers. >> gary: guthrie said i thought that was a fly ball that would stay in the ballpark. the fact he was able to pull that bat back in, which he loses all of that leverage of arm extension for power and still drive it out of the ballpark -- >> jim: well, they have tremendous core strength, all of the core exercises now, and if you look at golf, you wonder step house do they hit the ball so far. yea

brian roberts has been on the team for nine years, he's been through some long augusts and septemberst feels like, i asked him if he thought this year could be different in the second half and what does he think about this team's up side. >> when you look at the amount of young guys that we have up here and the possibility of some more coming maybe in the second half, i think that as older guys, we're certainly energized at times by them and in the past we've kind of filled holes with fill-in guys here and there, especially in the second half. this year we have guys that we're preparing for the future and that's good. >> is it also encouraging to think about guys like markakis and huff and really yourself that could have better second halfs and play up to an even higher level than they are now. >> well, yeah, i think all of us evaluate it at the break and see things that we want to improve on and need to work on and i think certainly all three of us older guys wish we'd have had a better first half probably in a lot of ways, g in some ways there are positive that is we can take that w

between the orioles' roberts and figgins of the angels. >> jim p: they scored 60 runs to lead the american league. so you can see figgins obviously a higher batting average now because brianof these short slumps, extra base hits. we give to it roberts, stolen bases to figgins so far although brian is capable of stealing 40 to 50, which he has done on occasion. doubles for brian. he is 48, 50, 52. finished second to dustin pedroia of mvp in the american league that led with doubles last year. i would still like him -- not in this case and i don't know if you need to sacrifice -- i just know if roberts would bunt and somebody, eight or nine years ago, toll him how important it is to be a leadoff guy, his average would go up and runs scored would go up and mean more to the ballclub. so far, dave trembley or the orioles haven't been able to get to him. i don't mean take the bat out of his hands because he is an extra base guy. sometimes you're tired. bring the infeelers in and hit it by him and all of a sudden you're more productive. >> jim h: 2-1. low. ball three. small ball as a team can help you and here's a perfect example. angels tied for first in the west. they're in sm
