he was hitting .372 in 50 games with 10 home runs and 10 rbis and dave tremly gives them a star so salazaroday. and we'll begin with pitcher rick hill. >> that's his best performance. he is sitting on top of the hill, mr. hill. he's best effort by any pitcher so far with the orioles. he's threw an outstanding game against seattle, seven inning shutout and had seven strikeouts and gave up two hits. curve is the key to his game, there is no doubt about it. one of the best curveballs i've seen here, even though he's left handed since monicker won 16 games in 1983 with the orioles. he's already got 22 strikeouts in 21 and two third innings. that's an outstanding ratio. one per inning is what you look for. rich hill has been outstanding at that so far this season. >> the oakland a's send a rookie pitcher mazzaro. >> last year he was 15 and 6, and so you can see why the a's want to see what he can do. the first game against the white sox, very tough lineup, 6 and a third inning only gave up three hits and no runs. he's a bit of a finesser. he's a picker. i don't mean he's a guitar player, he tri
