the strike from mark hendrickson as he'll work here from navarro, perez and bartlett. hassed a an oh-fer three so far in this series. another switch hitter and he takes the pitch away. navarro, .294 right-handed. only .186 the other way. >> jim: almost 110 points better from this side. >> gary: there's a lot of points. >> jim: is it ever. it is kind of funny. i think if you're a rays fab, you say where is b.j. upton. and buehrle, all of his home runs are against right-handed pitching and he is in the lineup because you have to play somebody. >> gary: yeah. 2-1 delivery on the way and he took something off of that pitch. the pop-up, second base. brian roberts goes back to get it and navarro is retired, one away. tomorrow is student night presented by at&t. your birds will have the red sox in town. all students of any age with a valid i.d. can purchase a left field upper reserved seat. only two student nights left this season. don't miss out. for details go to 888-bird or orioles.com. tomorrow night, jeremy guthrie taking on clay buck holtz. hernandez gets john lester on

the umpires love to call it a strike. >> and mark hendrickson, this would have been a start for briansz who has been shut down for the rest of the year. hendrickson did a good job. he did pitch into the fourth inning and gave the team a chance. >> when he started for the orioles early object the season, three innings was about his max, you know. he was just one of those kind of guys that lost the quality of his pitches after that. he pitched very good for the first three innings only giving up one run. that came with two out and nobody on and he gives up a triple and a single back-to- back. this is really what cost him there. outside of that, this is exactly what dave trembley and the coaching staff expected it of him tonight, three good solid innings. it ended up costing them another run. i'm sure from the very beginning they would have thought if hendrickson was going to give up one run, that was a good outing. they were happy to have him out there. >> here is his line. three and a third. he did not walk a batter. he did not strike out a batter and 56 pitches. but he was lifted with

mark hendrickson back as a starter, next!  >> it is the orioles on masn the final of the four-game set. the orioles holding a 103-93 edge aened the chance to win this four-game set if they can pick up the victory tonight. it would be their 17th series win of the season. hi, everybody. i'm gary thorne. for orioles, it would be sweet to come away with 3-4. they still have to play tampa bay down there for four more games coming up on the next road trip, baa victory here at home tonight would even up their record in september. as the o's are vying for a winning september to send them off to the off season. and they get back one of their stars tonight. nolan reimold. having missed a couple of ballgames with the tendon bothering him, he is back in the lineup tonight. it will make -- he will make the start in left field. reimold will have some kind of procedure done on that achilles tendon done in the off season. he is in the race for the rookie of the year and probably gordon beckham is the one closest to him,

mark hendrickson gave them both up. finally d-backs -- and this is mark reynolds here.ooks like a ground ball. but a bad throw. he should have plenty of time to get to first. where is the guy? where is he at? but check out what happened when he came to the box. the bat got in the way. i did that just when i walked into the newsroom. the bat got me. but he did get the first and he actually beat the throw to first. >> how about that. >> i like gilbert arenas mid life crisis at age 27. >> i'm maturing now. >> i think i actually need to shave at this point.
