florida. first pitch swinging, john baker. gonzalez out. waves everybody off. and the marlins pick up two crippling runs. at least from the nationals stand point. into the 9th inning, it's 5-3 florida. nted a laptop with... ...speed, a big hard drive and a good gaming computer... ...for under $1500. we told them you find it, you keep it. - let's check these out. - this is nice. - let's go see the macs. - these are way more money, dude. it's a little too small. maybe we'd rather go with pc. - let's try that for him. - this is good for games too, right? - yea. - both: blu-ray! - we're ready to buy this one. - what!? - announcer: they agree. it's a pc. - we're buying this! - i'm a pc and i'm 11. - and uh, i'm not.  . >> bob: top of the 9th, nats now down by 2. leo nunez saved the game monday night by retiring josh willingham on a flyball. he relieves dan meyer who is in line for the win unless adam dunn, josh willingham and alberto gonzalez can do something about it here in the bottom of the 9th. adam dunn has faced this pitcher once in his career. 0-for-1. he has had a pretty good series.

we have not seen the marlins since early in april. he is from palm harbor, florida, and an oal miss rebel from the sec. he has not done a whole lot of leading off until he got up here with the marlins. bonifacio slumping recently, they have not had the kind of batting average or on base percentage they were looking for in a leadoff guy. hanley ramirez, of course, you don't lead him off anymore. right by the pitcher's glove and up the middle as zimmerman got a lot of played with a 1-2 breaking ball. and that's hit number 2 for the fish. >> rob: coghlan does a nice job staying on the ball here. it's supposed to be down and away, does not come back over the plate. he just throws the bat head on it. jordan knows he had a lot of the plate. see nieves going away from that. >> bob: and you want the inning to end right here. bonifacio reached on a throwing error by ryan zimmerman. there is a breaking ball. he is hitting only .222 left handed. that was his problem with the bats. people were knocking the bat out of his hand left handed. right handed, he has a little more mop

he goes to the florida marlins. in exchange a left- handed pitcher aaron thompson from the marlins who is 22, ray. drafted first-round by the marlins in the 2005 draft. this year in jacksonville, 5-9 has yet to come up with the bigclub there with the marlins. >> i don't know anything about him, johnny, except what i read. i've been reading the last hour about this kid. they say he has the best changeup in the organization. he has four quality pitches. a lot of people have projected him to be a major league starter as a if you are and five starter. one scout i read his opinion in a magazine said he didn't believe that. he thought this kid had the ability to pitch as a number two starter. all that means is he has good enough stuff with four pitches to get around the lineup enough to pitch seven innings or more. four and five starter are guys generally who pitch 5 1/2 innings. at least one scout out there thinks this kid has a chance to be a top of the line starter. >> talk about joe beimel going back to the dodgers. t

. >>> in sports, the florida marlins rally from a 7-0 deficit.he marlins sent 14 batters to the plate and scored 10 runs in the eighth inning for the team's biggest comeback victory. it was also the biggest lead the diamondbacks have ever blown. florida beat arizona 14-7, leaving some d-back fans really unhappy. i love that kid. >>> in philadelphia, a long flyball took a lucky bounce for chase utley, enabling him to round the bases for an inside-the-park home run. that put the phillies on the scoreboard, and they went on to beat the cincinnati reds 9-6. >>> san francisco's tim linsicum carried a no hit bid into the seventh inning as the giant at beat the padres 9- im> and olympic gold medal mer michaelheswslp is back in championship form. at the u.s. national championships yesterday in indianapolis, phelps broke the world record in the 100-meter butterfly swimming it in, get this, 50.22 seconds. he held the record for one day back in 2003, and he's wanted it real bad ever since. >>> when we return, another look at this morning's top stories, and

it was pretty good for the florida marlins. >> bob: made a mark on the wall behind detwiler and olsen. you know, the dugouts here are so close. i'm sitting in one of those dugouts, i might be tempted to wear a helmet. it is really, really close here. >> rob: you'd get laughed at for that. >> bob: i know i would, but at least i'd be an alive guy getting laughed at. >> rob: they're not pitching tonight. there you go. willie harris grabbed a glove. which will slow playing a little d. in there. >> bob: you can't keep willie out of the lineup. >> rob: the pitcher can go down to the bullpen if they don't want to sit that close. >> bob: good at-bat by josh willingham fouled off a couple. let's see what willie did here. >> rob: playing a little second. i don't know if they're not keeping with willie in -- i think they're getting elijah some at-bats. he's reasoned. which will slow left-handed hitter and he doesn't have to face this kid. >> bob: that's willie. he's not in the game, but he's in the game. he'll probably chew the end off of that draw string by the end of the night. >> rob: chewing

the nats will be back on tuesday, august 4th, to start a sweep of the florida marlins. owe those guys a couple or what? six game home stand with florida and arizona coming up. later in august, the rockies and brewers will be here. >> rob: in that philly game, holiday is 2 for 4. >> bob: so he's 6 for 9 already of that's guzman on the second base side. chase headley, still a young player in this league, but the scouting report is out on him. and the nats play a big time shift. it will be drew macias next. >> rob: victorino is the big winner today. 4 for 4, three runs scored and 3 rbi's. >> bob: rollins had a grand slam in that game. macias is 26 years of age, younger brother of lorenzo macias, drafted a couple of years ago by oakland. a bouncer, nick johnson, a one hopper, two outs. next up will be last night's home run hero, luis rodriguez. yikes. and it's not an official ballgame yet. it's a little early for that. too bad we didn't start this baby at 6:00. a lot of major league teams are doing that with their saturday games, at least until the network games get on. now

first baseman nick johnson has been with this organization since 2004 and he was traded to the florida marlinsrmer first round pick aaron thompson. the 30-year-old johnson batted 295 this season with six homers and 44 rbis and with the nats. nats also shipped out this guy, left-handed reliever to the colorado rockies. in return, the nationals get two pitching prospects. tonight this team begins a four-game series in pittsburgh against the pirates. >>> moving now to golf. the buick open. tiger woods almost didn't have it in him but as he always does, he came back with an incredible round. let me take you back out to the golf course. tiger woods began this afternoon on the back nine. here he is on 11. his tee shot from 180 yards away. and when you say this is good, this is a good one. this shot lands on the green and stop ad few feet from the hole. tiger would birdin of eight birdies in the round for tiger woods. on 12, his second shot from just off the green, chipping on and takes land and bounces right into the cup. that would be for an eagle. talk about luck. tiger had the best round of his s

starts ago at florida, it was pretty obvious that there were too many curveballs because the florida marlinstch. they went looking for the curveball. he didn't have a very good one that night. they hammered him. >> jim p: i think also gave up a couple home , one on the changeup. he doesn't throw the third pitch very much and then i think there was another fastball when he got behind to try to establish the curveball thit. >> jim h: 1-2 on fig gwens. >> jim p: there are guys -- alan dunn and kranitz coming from chicago, the coaches said the curveball is better but when you throw one that rolls, kind of hover in the hitting zone. kind of like sinker ball and you drop them down. it kind of movralland you not disturb but you disturb it. >> jim h: ball three. full to figgins. ggins has 30 multi-hit games. let's see if mike scioscia, gun 4-0, start trounce it. he does n and ball four. single now and walks and the angels fans start to get back in this one. two on and one out. >> jim p: last night mike sciocia said the drop pop-up cracked open the door. more like san andreas fault, the way -- [ indi

let's go to florida, the phillies and the marlins. in the sixth, he on lows.3rd home run of the season. that is 200, runs in 658 gam. the fastest player ever to 200. for-0. golf in scotland and the british open. there was a 64 posted by the leader. tiger woods could not break par. i will show you. tiger really did not struggle all the way around the course. he had three birdies and 11 pars. burning th edges for four bogeys. seven shots off of the pace. this is the one that got me. on the 18th -- look at him. he is already walking. this is for the blistering 64, and he finds the hole, but this story today was what said. he went out on the course where he has had so much success in the past and had a brilliant 65. >> it does give me an advantage over just about everybody else. i think i probably played it as much as anybody as far as the golf championship is concerned. >> you have to like watson, but do not count tiger out. je3remremy jarmon, a 6'3" 280 pounder, the skins get a first for the third. and at the tour the france, there were crashes and flat tires, b
