chad moellerer missed the tag. rivera slides in.lt he eluded the tag and it is 3-0. >> jim: yes but did he touch home plane plate? the throw's off the line. take a look. see the throw's a little bit, now did he tag the base? no, yeah, maybe. boy, i'll tell what you, that is very hard to tell. you can see chad trying to reach back. and i think he got it right. look at that. that's about as little of the plate as you can touch to be safe. chad moellerer did not get the tag on him john mccain. >> jim: the throw was just off a little bit. i think basically dave trembley is coming out saying hey, did he tag the plate? he might have gotten with a fingernail. that is a great slice chad had to go up the line to get the ball. he can't get back, rivera, who does not run well, i mean this is a very good slide. and he is able to stop himself enough because look, he is going to go by the plate and he low as down and reaches back with that left arm. so it is a terrific slide. right there's played himself. a little jose greco, dancer. >> jim: he c

matt wieters will take over the play for chad moellerer after pinch hitting for chad.ez comes on to work tonight. > >> jim: a couple of real hot spells. you have to remember coming off tommy jobs surgery. the story tried to start. could be make it as a starter in bring training. didn't know that his elbow would hold up very rarely pitches in back to back games. when he gets the ball down, extremely effective. the orioles back within one the top of the lane up comes back for the orioles in the bottom of the ninth inning. likely closer fuentes. >> jim: how big was the play that adam jones made? only the sacrifice fly that could have been a huge inning for the angels and they kept it to one run baez gets ahead of concernedded dry more or less. a cup -- of morales. just a crash for the out, one down. ere is the clos for th angels, brian fuentes. >> jim: he came in to save the night last night. >> a base hit for wieters. 0 for 16 by orioles pin hitters. more importantly it made it a one run game. at home in the bottom of the ninth. you can play for one run if you need to,

you saw chad moeller get a base hit off the glove of cahill. that's for the right side foundation. nner goes, ground ball, right behind him for a base hit. moeller will head over to third base. sweeney will get it in and izturis comes through and the 8 and 9 hitters are on covering the corners with nobody out. >> jim: trevor cahill unable to handle the moeller comebacker so it goes off his glove into left. you can see pennington covering. izturis, he looks at the first baseman and then just pounds it. he's going go, go. chad moeller didn't really pick up the ball because he was running on the play. i can't imagine he heard cesar izturis, but he gets all the way to third. there's your go-ahead run. >> gary: now brian roberts has a 2 for 2 ballgame. brian came in with only three hits against the a's on the season, in the previous four games. he's already got two added in this one. brian hitting .293 with runners in scoring position. the orioles down a run. they've outhit the a's 7-4. that will be taken inside for a ball. roberts has the orioles extra- base hit so far, a double in the

chad moeller called up, what the orioles get in exchange, to be announced later for a player or cash , and-or. so that will be announced at a later date. and chad is here, so the orioles are not short-handed. [ and chad is a welcome addition to this ball club again. he does a very good job of working with the pitchers, the young catchers. fortunately i think the orioles feel very pleased he was still in the organization because he had to clear waivers to go down to the my more leagues and spend the first four months of this season in triple-a. >> gary: chad moeller ser back. lyle overbay, he is making the start in the outfield here, overbay, the left-handed hitter, 2-3 lifetime off of jason berken. the first baseman for toronto. 1-2 delivery to him and a chopper. he got jammed. the play will be made to berken covering and get the out. overbay is retired here in the second inning. the orioles are going to be back in town monday to begin a seven-game road stand against the a's and angels. you can celebrate brad bergesen t-shirt. the first 10,000 fans will get that brad bergesen orioles'

chad moeller a few outs. the double to the wall in left. peay is fast, all the way from first. the o's win 5-1. they're home tomorrow, the start of a four- game series in cleveland. >>> kelly gregg will likely be held out of the ravens final two preseason games after hurting his shoulder monday night. mark clayton returned to practice today. the ravens are back practicing in owings mills at the training camp in westminster. most of the starting positions are already sewn up. but as always, there are spots available at the end of the roster. the next two weeks will take care of all that. >> we have a lot of battles going on. as you guys call them, bubble guy, guys that could make it. the thing i think is really important to understand, you're not going to back your way into this football team. you have to earn your way on to this football team there is too many good players here. >> harbaugh took the team over to m&t bank stadium tonight for the countdown, the kickoff barbecue. a chance for fans to meet and greet the players. proceeds benefit the all team community foundation, w

outside, ball two. >> buck: well, chad moeller has done a nice job visiting with wieters all the time coming back talking pitch selection, sequences, talking to the pitchers. >> jim: there's another towards second base. roberts will freeze span and get it to the first to get the second out. span could not get to the plate on that one with the infield drawn in. big out for matusz as roberts gets his man. two men down. >> buck: yeah, you don't gamble with the drawn in infield when you have joe mauer coming to the plate. you make sure it comes through when you commit toward home. mauer gets a chance to hit here with two outs and a man at third. >> jim: mauer singled sharply to right field in his first at- bat. he not only leads the league in batting. he's leading the league in on- base percentage. there's a strike on the outside corner. perfect pitch. >> buck: i always thought that was interesting how the statistician around baseball you've got to improve your on- base percentage to be better. well, you know what? good hitters have good on-base percentage. you hit first and the on-base p

and chad moeller with 16%. so that's a look at the at&t player of the game. guthrie seven strong innings of six-hit baseball. the orioles go on 0 to beat the twins 5-, as pie gets his 5th home run. >> ground ball towards the middle. out at second base! he flips foyt the shortstop, cabrera, and they force moeller. not only does roberts get robbed of of a face hit, the twins get out of it. >> casilla with just a great play, but the birds get out of it. guthrie did not walk a batter, and is standing by now with mark viviano. >> mark: 5-1 final. six hits allowed, one run. identical stats to your win in chicago. >> it's nice. nice to be able to go out there. we have a phenomenal game. brian made a couple of great plays, and when we do that, i think the hits and runs stay down. i haven't maybe unappreciated by those who are just looking for home run highlights, what cesar does for you day-in and day-out with the wrist of the staff. >> absolutely. that's the reason we got him was to help us pitchers out, the young pitchers. we can look a lot more successful than whe

chad moeller is called up from triple-a as the back-up catcher tonight for the o's.'s going to get away and huff is going to go down to second base. >> buck: a little insurance would be nice right about now, eighth inning, one-run ballgame. it is a wild pitch that allows aubrey huff to move into scoring position. barajas can't corral this ball in the dirt. he tries to catch it with the back hand and that always causes you problems. we have seen more of that from catchers since they have gone to that first baseman-type catcher's mitt and catch one- handed. 1-2 delivery on the way. a grounder off the glove and into right field for a base hit that is going to score a run. nolan reimold will get an rbi single that goes off the glove of lee on a ball that otherwise would have been an out to the second baseman hill and the orioles extend their lead by three. >> buck: you can see hill had to change direction. he had a beat on it. had it gotten past the pitcher john shelby with the wave home and as aubrey huff moves up and scores on the infield hit off the pitcher's glove. a
