jason wirth leads off the winning with a walk. they call on levern hernandez. lays down the bunt, picture perfect. then the cubs pitcher, carlos totally forgets about worth, so he steals third without as much as a throw and rodriguez comes to the plate and mall donates the 58-foot curve ball. that's a wild pitch. the nats without the benefit of a hit in the inning runs 5-4 and they get back to .500. meanwhile their number one draft pick promoted today from low a hagerstown to aa harrisburg. 14 home runs, 46 ribs in his 72 games with the suns. odds are he gets the aaa sir cues and probably joins the nats sometimes next season. the average american male takes in about 2500 calories per day. that means the guy who won the hot dog eating contest on coney island consumed in ten minutes what most of us would eat in nine days. they don't mention it, but it's one of the reasons we fought the revolution. it's as american as apple pie and one of the most absurd american traditions, the nathan's hot dog eating contest. who can stuff the most processed meat in their mouths

jason wirth comes home on a wild pitch. >>> from a wild pitch to game-ending balk, royals and white soxied it in fourth. aaron crow steps off the hill. that's balk. hate to lose like that. chicago won with a 5-4 balk-off. >>> how about some defense, the reds' jay bruce with a shot. you'll get nothing and like it. rob bruce with a sure homer. cardinals go on to win it, 1-0. >>> to florida, vance worley, off his glorchlt gets worley at first. mr. average 6'4" out. >> and finally, get ready for some rapid forced eating. the 96th national hot dog-eating contest. after ten minutes of inhaling dogs, joey chestnut is the wien wiener. he's the top dog. i'm sure he'll relish the moment for life. that's a look at sports. >>> for another look at the weather, here's nbc's meteorologist bill karins, who's always good with a hot dog pun. >> it's always difficult to add something with sauerkraut. let's take a look at this forecast. good morning, everyone. temperatures very warm. joining us in the washington area, down in virginia we had a lot of thunderstorms. this morning, everything is clearing out.
