pena retired, two away. >> buck: good singing fast ball. bass couldn't do anything other than get one out at first base. >> gary: this is a big at bat. a home runed as two more to the board. >> buck: wieters kept that so teahen had to hold his ground at third. talk about momentum, they look like the orioles were a base hit away from knocking chen out of the game in the bottom of the second. he got out of it by striking out aubrey huff. >> gary: 1-1 fouled back. bass has delivered three wild pitches. so the lead runner at third will be aware of that and get off as far as he can to third. 1-2, bass comes on and gets it done. a couple runs score on three hits and a walk in the inning. the royals go back on top 3-2. ♪ ♪ tell me who's watching.

buck martinez is all about trying to do that. >> buck: sure is. six pitchers, five spots., it's been a long time since there's been this kind of competition in baltimore. hill has the stuff but it's a mat of taking it from the bull pen to the mound and being aggressive with the fast ball. the hitters around the league know he's thrown a curve a lot. he's got to throw the fast ball to make that more effective. his first start this year was against this same club and he pitched very well. >> gary: something else, these two teams are trying to do the same thing. these are two organizations looking to put the season behind them. >> buck: they are. any time you have defense up the middle, you're going to struggle. they have the pitching but have not played well defensively. >> gary: hill is going to make the start. dave trembly talked about that prior to the game. that really is what it comes down to. when we come back, we'll have the first pitch, look at the lineups, kansas city in town to take on the o's. male announcer: the chicken is tender, juicy, and lightly breaded. the
