luke scott comes in with a four- game hit streak. luke had a 1-4 in the ballgame last night getting the start at first base. cleveland rotates the infield putting the shift on here. i mean putting the shift on. and he hits into it. and he's got a base hit! markakis had a stop to make sure he didn't get hit by the ball that will be a hard single by scott. two on, one down. >> buck: and against the shift, luke hits it hard enough to get it past valbuena into right field. the second baseman shifted over and he can't make a play and marte didn't bounce off the bag very quickly, and that ball was right between the first baseman and the second baseman. >> gary: so the orioles have only one away and two on. matt wieters will stand in. mat had a 1-4 in the ballgame last night. he continues to up his offensive numbers in about every category batting at .263. this is the one he wants to get up with runners in scoring position. inside for a ball. >> buck: last night in the seventh inning, he goes opposite field with the home run. it was a fastba

now they go to the way most teams try to get luke scott out. has the ability to hit any fast ball to any part of the field. strong to left tent tore field, trying to get him out with curve balls up and in. high fly ball right field. that has a chance back it goes. it is off the wall and in play, just shy of getting out of here. luke scott at second base with a two out double. >> jim: there is how strong he is. all he does is drop the bat on the ball. didn't have a great sound coming off the bat. just right there, boom. short swing. you can see that right elbow stay tucked into his side and that gets the bat head and the path of the ball exactly where you want to. so luke scott gets a base hit. only his third on this homestand. after going 11 for 22 in wrunners in scoring position they went something like 1 for 10 last night. another doesn't opportunity here to at least get one back. here's wiggington. first time today o'sullivan from the stretch. there is a strike. wiggington 0 for his last 9. wigging tonight will pitch off the plate. lets it g

luke scott waving at the pitch.r tags him out, and the orioles down to their final out on back to back strikeouts by nathan. >> buck: struck out izturis with the fastball, and get this slider down, and luke scott just chases a ball in the dirt with two strikes. >> jim: here is nick markakis who, s hitless on the night. had a four-game hitting streak going coming into tonight's game. he has not hit the ball out of the infield tonight. ball 1 inside. the orioles are 14-16 on the year in one run games. they trail by a run here. minnesota is 16-18. ball 2, outside. 2-0 on markakis. baker went 7. one run on four hits. harris pitched the 8th. three up, three down, and now joe nathan in the 9th. orioles have gone 3 up three down in five innings, and made a three-patter inning in the first. that's an effective pitch. he hitter pitched it up, but then can't stop the swing. mauer is almost catching that ball before it hits the dirt. 2-1 on markakis, batting with two out and none on in the 9th inning. that's high, ball 3. anot

here is luke scott. one of these days, luke is going to break out. for it. pie, reimold, markakis on base third to first with luke scott coming up. luke has just two home runs and seven rbi's since the all-star break. more than a month of games. bases load, one down. it's high, ball one. >> buck: with one out, the infield playing for double play. wt with a left-hand batter, justin morneau is deep at first base. markakis has an opportunity to really get a good jump on contact should luke scott hit something on the ground. he can create havoc at second base should there be a potential double play ball. >> jim: humber now is having trouble finding the strike zone. he has walked three since coming on. luke can really be selective here. 2-0 and nowhere to put them. takes a fastball for a strike. high pitch. talking it over with gary darling. >> buck: orioles have had their differences with the home plate umpire tonight. cesar izturis on two pitches. brian roberts on the pitch he took for strike three in this inning and now luke scott didn't seem to think

. >>> luke scott will lead off for the orioles. >> then a homerun. luke's 20th homerun was back in the fourth inning solo shot. orioles have had three home runs in this game brian roberts, nick markakis, and luke scott a solo shot. wigging tonight on deck here in the tenth. inside, looked like an off speed pitch. >> that is the book on luke scott. a fast ball. pretty good slider. hard thrower. when you mess with a breaking ball, you have a fast ball here. he gets it and he takes it. arredondo has allowed only two home runs in his 28 appearances for the angels. you could see pretty good fast ball right there at 95. good movement. in the splitter. bounces all the way back to the screen. jose arredondo out of the dominican republic. he is 25 years old. he had a heck of a year last year. caught the ep of the bat. erick aybar. he has it for the out. luke scott retired. one away. >> the last orioles pitcher to win ten games was orioles wired a wire that year and arthur was very effective in that middle relief role. he had the same none of wins as the number

here is luke scott.up off the end of the bat, moving in in on it is bautista in left field and has it for the out, one away. mora back at first and luke scott 1-for-4. those insurance runs against matt albers is huge. now instead of having the tying run at the plate, you still need a rally here. >> buck: it changes the complex of the ballgame. brian bass did a great job in 3 1/3, gave up just two hits in his efforts today and then was hopeful that matt albers could continue that. and that's when the game kind of got away from them. >> jim: matt wieters now. he is 0-for-3. mora on not being held by overbay. orioles 2-4 through the first six games on this trip and they are 6-16 since the all-star break. there is a strike. >> buck: that was the concern about the second half of this season that things didn't just unravel. hopefully they'll turn around and you can build some momentum. the last several years, the past two months of the season, they been disappointing. reimold has come out on deck. >> jim: he w

and a 1-0 lead. >> buck: we mentioned luke scott has hit roy halladay. this is his 7th hit in 13 at- bats. that cut fastball just got too much of the plate and luke, as he always done, hits halladay well and drives in the first run the ballgame. >> jim: so luke picks up his third hit on the trip. there is matt wieters, playing again. yesterday, caught a day game after a night game and he is back in here again this afternoon. still only one down. a chance to get another run in with mora at first and scott at -- with mora at third and scott at first. wieters takes high. >> buck: coming into this game, he had played 48. first 24, batting .134. starting to get more comfortable at the plate. >> buck: i think that's what you want first and foremost, you want to elevate the batting average ant power numbers will come along as you get more confidence and more experience. he has a better look on the pitchers around the league. this is his first at-bat against roy halladay. >> jim: he has the count in his favor. hard hit towards second, him has it, goes to scutaro,

he makes you work and work and work. 2 on luke scott. and he got him. d breaking pitch that scott swings through. middle of the 6th, it's a two- run game.

luke scott has been announced as the pinch hitter. with 2 organization bottom of the 9th.   font eases has 4 saves agai the orioles this season. 4 for 4 in this department. he's looking for his fifth as he comes on in a save situation. >> jim: not a lot of orioles bat against him. izturis 12. wigginton 0 for 4. you need base runners. he represents the fourth run down by 4 runs. and of course fuentes, when you watch him throw he's deceptive. he hides the ball well, they both have breaking balls. they throw fastball. have not seen a lot of change- up. may have one, does not throw a lot. >> second in the major league with saves at 32. and amazingly only the second left-hander in history to have a 30 save season. randy meyer and randell k was the other. 32 for 62 in saves. 62 out of 68. billy wagner in no 30 saves for billy wagner. >> no. >> 2 on, nobody out. orioles down 5-1. wigginton, luke scott never got an at bat. wigginton hitting for scott. taking one to right center field. centerfielder matthews has it. tagging mora, he wil

nick markakis luke scott a rare start in left field and matt wieters. how about brian roberts?a lot of different weapons he can use. not only is he an excellent hitter, 155 hitters hits on the season so far. he's got 54 walks. he has one of the best eyes and it kind of proves my point about him being an excellent two-strike hitter is he can take very close pitches. he has no fear whatsoever that it's going to be called a ball. he usually gets himself in hitters counts right here. he's a little man with a big man swing. he can power the ball through the gaps overt outfielders' heads because they like to play him a little schall yoa. they don't expect he has the kind of power he really shows. he has 14 home runs on the season. they better start respecting something that. little guy can flat out hit. >> roberts is exactly halfway to killing the team of 52 consecutive games reaching base. you look at the catchers. matt wieters, joe mauer, compare the two. >> it's very hard to compare them. remember back to when joe mauer started there was a lot of similarities. neither of -- neithe
