after the game, manager davey johnson said his team didn't make enough adjustments to the cardinals' high-powered offense. >> that's just a little inexperience. you can't -- he's got a very live fastball. but, you know. his game plan basically is stay away and pound the zone. >> the series tied up one game apiece. game three is tomorrow at 1:00 p.m. edwin jackson will pitch for the nats. chris carpenter will take the mound for the cardinals. >>> orioles a strike away. the yankees could be a swing away. and the series is tied at a game apiece. >> the orioles won't go down without a fight. they beat the yankees 3-2 in game two of their american league division series. mark reynolds drove in what proved to be the game-winning run in the sixth inning. game three of the series is set for tomorrow night in new york. >> i'm glad we're this far into october and still talking about baseball. >> so exciting. we're going to win again. >> absolutely. >>> 4:37 is our time. ahead on "news 4 today," new criticism for the deadly attacks on americans in libya. the critical mistake one top leader is p

harper, after the nats lost five games and davey johnson called that team meeting, took off. he hit .330, 60 points higher than trout, and he had a slugging average 200 points higher. so, you know, they are going to be the mantle of the future. they're two fabulous players. trout seems to be more complete. harper carries with him some of that daring, that first-to-third speed and running into walls, like-- it reminds me actually pete reecer, but he was not a natural center fielder, like mantel. but he, of course, had the burden of being on the cover of "sports illustrated" starting at 15. trout and mantel and even maze didn't have that kind of pressure riding on them. >> schieffer: what do you think about these new guys, tony larussa? >> very exciting. that's exactly what keeps baseball alive. you've got the veterans. they become veterans and they're still performing. and all of a sudden you have the influx of talent. jane would be a great scout, because she just not only described these two guys but compares them to the guys in the past. but that's what-- that's what is so f

then davey johnson seems to pull the right moves. tyler moore pinch hitting being rookie in theating, two on, two out, two strikes, no problem. two runs will score and nats teekah a 3-2 lead. drew storen comes in and he looked great. he shuts them down one, two, three. we are seeing in the other series where oakland is the high are seed but because of the new playoff format, so had one, if you can get one on the road, it is huge, like the yankees did. >> no orioles magic. >> you couldn't even sing it. >> the yankees win 7-2. if you are the higher seed, you got your is a on the mound, you got to get the first one. now, everything is set up for the nats and yankees unfortunately for orioles fans. winning game two would be gate but you know when you go back home, you got to win two out of three. that is hooking pretty good for those snub one seeds. >> let's talk about the redskins. >> let's talk about them because we always debate, rg iii, do you want him to run, do you not want him to run? >> go out of bounds right now. >> could have g

. >> davey johnson says most of his starters will play. last night there were a lot of backup guys, guys who can call themselves the goon squad. >> as good as the goons were, it was a regular who drove in the go ahead run. adam la roche hit his 33rd home run of the season. the blast give him 100 rbis of the year. nats top the phillies 4-2. with a win today the nationals will clinch the top seed in the playoffs. that means they'll face the winner of the wild card playing game. either the braves or cardinals. they can also wrap up a top spot if they lose and the reds noose. if the nats lose and reds win, the nats would be the number two seed. got it? that means a first round matchup with the giants. >> we're not done yet so keep your pen handy. it will be an exciting final game for the season for the orioles. they're still within reach of the al east title. they were just four hits and only one run between the o az and rays -- os and rays last night. baltimore topped tampa bay 1-0. now, if the orioles win today and the yankees lose, they'll

>> reporter: davey johnson was given a nice chant after the game was over by the crowd that gatheredight around the dugout. i think he kept a safe distance from the champagne showers at this moment. there we go and here's a look at the new nl east division champions. this is your first gaze. >> you guys bring a couple back for us here at the station. we're all very excited. we can keep the natitude going. >> reporter: no problem, this, goggles, tarps, all that, we got you. something is happening behind me. >> you can feel the excitement. we'll come back live to you guys on fox 5 news at 10:00 and also on the news edge at 11:00. we will be right back after this short break. david smallwood: maryland money needs to stay in maryland. it's just that simple, i mean, it's a no brainer. anncr: every year marylanders spend five hundred and fifty... million at casinos in west virginia, delaware... and pennsylvania. one west virginia paper calls it a "cash cow" for them. but its cost maryland over one billion dollars. money that could have created good jobs and... better schools for us. questi

deacon says davey johnson and the nats, way to go. and chuck says, i am developing a serious nat-itude. no doubt that particular hash tag will be trending as well on social media and twitter as everyone is putting on their nat-itude with the help of modell's and the special championship shirts they have on sale here. back to you guys. >> melanie, thank you. >>> here is how the playoff picture shapes up right now. if the nats have the second best record they face the giants beginning on saturday. if they end up with the best record in baseball, they would face the winner of the wildcard game beginning on sunday. the wildcard game is between the braves and either the cardinals or the dodgers. do you follow all that? either way, the nascar begin the best of -- the nats begin the best of five game series on the road. meanwhile, can't forget the boys to the north. the orioles are now a game back in the race for the a.l. east divisional title. the o's lost to the rays 5-3 last night. while the yankees beat the red sox 10-2. both teams have

well, he overreacted, shall we say charitably because as one of the great men of america today, davey johnson the manager of the washington nationals have said you've got to attack attack attack and i think that's fundamentally true whether it's baseball or debates. >> rose: he also seemed to, in my judgment, everybody going in said he's got to be aggressive but not sort of go too far down the line of pushing the president because of the likability factor. romney wanted to be aggressive and at the same time make himself likeable as well. he seemed to have bridged that gap. mike. >> i think so. mitt is a low way scious guy. i think the president prepped by watching a lot of debates and not where he cleaned the clock with a democratic state and democratic opponent. he will get better. obama has to plan on the obama campaign and improving. the problem solving, the fixer, the guy who is excited with ideas is a very attractive candidate. if they can make the spotlight of the campaign on that with this new interest they're going to generate, they're going to do pretty well. the obama guys will try

this club -- listen, with davey johnson, the other thing yesterday in the seventh inning, he brings in jordan zimmerman, a starter, the first time he had ever come in from the pen, one of the best starters in baseball, only davey johnson would have pulled that move. >> and he struck out the side. >> he did. >>> next, mika's "must-read opinion pages." you're watching "morning joe" brewed by starbucks. ♪ [ male announcer ] start with a simple idea. think. drink coffee. design something totally original. do it again. that's good. call in the engineers. call in the car guys. call in the nerds. build a prototype. mold it. shape it. love it. give it a starting price under 16 grand. take it to the track. tweak. tweak. tweak. stop. take it to the car shows. call the critics. call the marketing team. get a celebrity endorser. he's perfect. i am?

davey johnson calls on tyler moore, a pinch hitter, rookie, and he comes through with a two run singlen, holiday. 4:00today, game number two. >>> up in baltimore last night, good game for a while. 2-2in the 9th. gave up five runs. martin getting the flood gates up. down 1-0. game two tonight at 8:00. something to talk about again tomorrow. >> i think they'll win. >> i do, too. i talked to some baltimoreens and they said, don't worry, showwalter isn't panicked. they're resillant. >>> redskins, getting harder to put your thumb on why they can't win at home. this is the play everybody is talking about today, rg3, it's tough to watch. rg3, robert griffin iii himself has said, this is football, i expect to get hit. a lot of people would have liked to have seen him out of bounds, knocked out. enter cousins, the rookie from michigan state. he looked great here when he finds moss over the top. 77yards. skins had a lead in the 4th quarter. alas, it wouldn't last. atlanta wins 24-17. cousins had two interceptions. >>> another story that is a story that won't go away, is the trials and tribulatio

davey johnson said after the game that he didn't do enough to vary his pitches with a good fast ballack to back homers when laroche does this. you think, we've got a chance here. 7-3. had one more shot in the 7th inning. kind of a key play. werth is on third. zimmerman again. lifts this to right. that will bring in werth and cut the lead to 8-4. only one out. bryce harper gets a little ambitious and gets thrown out trying to go to third. and davey said after the game, bryce can't do that. we love his aggressive nature, like rg3. but you have to rein it in a little bit. sometimes the aggressive plays can hurt you. how about the o's? taken on the yankees. davis with a big hit here. two outs off petit. it's amazing he is still pitching. that was a big two run single. the o's win 3-2. game three in the bronx tomorrow night. >>> back to rg3 and the redskins. everybody is talking about the hit he took sunday. will he play this sunday against minnesota? have to figure out if he can pass the concussion test. everybody i talked to in the locker room says he seems fine. >> he says he's fine. >
