. >> the orioles win it 2-0 and ty wigginton all of a sudden has become home run derby wigging don. is so short and quick and so focused. he know what is he is looking for. and he is not missing them. other guys would be fouling them off. look at this pitch. almost down the middle of the plate. if they come anywhere near close to that, this ball is out of the ballpark. he lost 15 pounds ton year. everything now looks so much quicker, faster, is there is so much more, an it is really paying off for him. the condition that he got himself in this year, look at how impact that swing is. you can just take one look at him and see he has a lot of power in that body. >> so his average is .299. the home run and he is second now in the american league. paul konerko on the white sox has 12. 19 rbi's to lead the club. 15 runs and four doubles leading the orioles in home runs and rbi's. the thing about ty wigginton on this road trip. he was just 1-13 in a series in new york. but that one base hit was a already and the big home run tonight, and i guess if you are capable of being a home run hitte

>> kentucky derby winner, super saver a stant 8th. no triple crown.y. >> clayton, oscar is still here, trdrop and give me ten. >> i'm going to get some coffee, buddy. >> if elena kagen is confirmed as supreme court, the religious makeup on the supreme court. >> for the first time there will be no protestants despite it's the denomination with the most members in the u.s. and father jonathan morris is here. what does it mean, is it a big deal? >> it's surprising to think that these are immigrants, the jews and catholics that came to this country and made very good for themselves and i think it's a testimony, not of how many protestants are in or catholics or jews, but a testimony to the tolerance of american democracy and the fact that people can come and no matter what your religion or ethnic makeup. remember, we had the first black justice, 1967. we had the first woman justice in 1981. we have a, a testimony to the whole world that in america, it doesn't matter your religion, it doesn't matter your ethnic background, you can make it to the top. that'

it's like the kentucky derby. maybe not that wet. there you go.> gary: takes care of that with a two-bagger. now the orioles get a chance to go on top. wigginton flied out his first time up. better than the team average of .220. a shot at lee right here looking for his first hit. he's 0-7 again the lefty and a time-out called at the plate. lee trying to keep that hand warm and that will bring johnson out. he wanted the time-out to get the signs i think. you get azons, sense. the mariners lost 8 out of 9 to home stand and scored 12 runs in those games. one .25, he knows he's not getting a lot of runs. >> gary: and wigginton takes a strike. >> jim: we have not seen him throw a lot of breaking balls, have not seen the big over head curveball. this is a situation where a former cy young award winner wants a strike out. he's doing it against a guy that doesn't have good numbers against him. 0-7. >> gary: 0-1 on wigginton. and he will take the pitch down low. these two teams so much alike because their offenses are struggling. that for the mariners 17 o
