jeremy guthrie, no walks, four strikeouts. he has given up only one run. brignac's run.nly five hits. matt garza, a couple of walks, four strikeouts, lone run, home run by pie. other than that, he has given up singles. three of them. >> mike: probably pretty much matched each other strike for strike in this one. >> gary: yep. >> mike: so far, pie's thrown from the outfield. >> gary: lugo, izturis and pie against garza. lugo is a strikeout victim. lugo made sure to go over to the tampa bay dugout u don't see players do that very often before a game, the opposing dugout. but he had a special reason. he takes that one in the air to right field. don zimmer, the long-time baseball manager and coach, is travelling with the ball club,

jeremy guthrie was out of cleveland. the result of that is drafting high the following year and one thing they have done a fantastic job of in this organization is drafting and then developing those players. >> you've got the make the right choice. how about september 14th. david hernandez home run, couple of doubles. another one of the young hitters that loves the fast ball. it doesn't mean you can't throw it. you just can't throw it in the middle of the plate. >> jim: right back to guthrie, good fielder and 2 men down. guthrie gets the first outs in the 3rd inning. celebrate the first t-shirt tuesday. that was a week from last night. that will be oriel park. 15 and over against the rays receive a matt wieters baltimore t-shirt. buy your tickets in advance. get online at www.orioles.com. no. 32, chaz an old number for him. he's always won 32 until he got to the orioles last year. a ball and a strike. her's jason bartlett. you mentioned not messing with those picks and two of the 3 first round picks for the orioles are o

jason bartlett leading it off against jeremy guthrie. great to have you with us. first strike. thrie kicks it up, put one down against bartlett in the leadoff spot. he has a 16 hit streak here. he has pounded the orioles. he started to do that this season. so when you have somebody like that, you really want to get them out of there the first time around and at least get him to start thinking that make he is not going to get a hit at every at bat. >> mike: that would be good. >> gary: just amazing the numbers he has put up against the orioles. here is the 1-0 delivery on the way. 1-2 and he's gone. so guthrie, that's what he wanted to do. bartlett is retired. one down. >> mike: pretty good signs from guthrie right out of the shoot. keeping everything down. pretty good breaking ball. at the bottom edge of the strike zone, which is where jeremy wants to throw the majority of his pitches. >> gary: here is carl crawford. he lofts one to the gap, and that's going to be a base hit. markakis was playing that way and will hold the speed ster on. so crawford gets the single off guthrie.

he talked about how well jeremy guthrie pitched. and he did just three earned runs in seven incomes. let's revisit the base running that he was asked about. adam jones in the 1st inning and then the other base running, what turned out to be a mistake in the seventh inning because as he said, when you lose a game, those things are big. acongressive, yes. but inopportune. those base runners are valuable. >> you can't have guys like garza an extra opportunity. you have to go for the juggler. this right here, adam jones just breaks, way, way, way too soon. and matt garza is smart enough to slow down, look the opposite way. and then later on in the game you see in play right here. the 3rd base, the guy going to 3rd base, because luke scott, he realizes that, you know, he ain't going to make it over there. now they have the easy run down. navarro, who just focused on wigginton at this point, just to make sure that he gets one out, he directed a little traffic, told the pitcher to go cover home plate and it ended up in a perfect situation

the orioles give jeremy guthrie a lead before he takes the mound. scott, he hit a home run last night into the right. nolan ryan hit 24 combined between triple a and the big leagues, but luke, 25 for the oral and last night he started right off. this one goes 452 feet. >> not longoria, but still pretty good. >> pretty close. >> let's see. that's really only -- >> after his training regimen in the off-season. there's a strike as he looks one over. luke played in college at oklahoma state. he goes back to oklahoma during the off-season and he gets in shape by chopping wood because he wants to simulate the swing. he's paul bunion. and it works for him. >> i'm not sure there's a stronger oriel. good fast ball. >> so down on the count, 1 and 2. >> let's look at our pitch track. watch the glove right to the glove. there it is. pretty good -- you know when jeremy is pitching well, his command is very, very good. >> one on and one down. and he got him. high fast ball. big strikeout for garza. it's nice to be able to get struts when you need them. >> and the

and jeremy guthrie, looks like he is back on track like he was two year ago.ery good game t. orioles couldn't pull that one out, either. but i can't the orioles to do better at home. if the orioles could come through and get a 1-run win and get a little momentum, who knows, they could turn the tides on tampa bay. >> and in the clubhouse, amber is with matt wieters. >> we are trying to tack on the league lead. that is what we have been doing right now. >> reporter: kevin has been such an example for the young staff, pushing so hard to go deep in the game. this is an opportunity to show that. he did that, but having that walk away with the win that, is tough for him and everybody. people seem to be behind him on the scene. >> yes. it is tough for the club how the for kevin. he did so well. hopefully next start we will be able to pick them up and get the win. >> reporter: thanks a lot. >> mike: okay. so that was matt wieters. and luke scott came through with an rbi and base hit. markakis walking every game. a close one. i smell o'riley coming on, 4 in a row. dead
