markakis in. markakis calls and has it for the second out.get span and cabrera, but he's not out of it yet. here is. mr. mauer, the league's leading hitter. >> buck: he hit a bullet last time up with a couple aboard. a man at third base and two outs hit it right at the third baseman melvin mora for the final out of the second inning. singled in his first at-bat. sharp ground ball into right. >> jim: alexi casilla at second with two men out. he walked and stole second base with none down. breaking ball for a strike, 0 4- b 1 -- 0-1. >> buck: a lot of managers when they're dealing with a left- hand opposing pitcher will separate left-handed hitters. when you've got mauer and morneau, you don't separate them. they can hit anybody as we saw morneau went deep for the 29th time in his last at-bat. >> jim: swept to first base for aubrey. he'll go to the bag unassisted and matusz gets out it have. leadoff walk and one left. we'll head to the fifth and orioles have a 5-3 lead. why? i don't know she's wandering around the lobby, yammering about fios tv

markakis up with it. took it where it was an only one away now, the angels have runners on at first and 2nd base. their third hit of ball game, all singles. >> jim: you get the feeling if you're going to play for mike scioscia you need to do what you do best most often. this by the is a switch hitter. contact hitter. pings it to right field. good news for organization, you have the -- orioles, you have the double play in order. >> bad news abreu second with runners in scoring position. >> jim: remember, the big important part of his game is seeing a pitcher and adjusting. >> gary: abreu with a chance with only one down. madiz -- matusz delivers. 2 for 4 in the ball game last night. he forces you to bring the pitch in, he has the third best on base percentage in the american league. takes 66% of pitches thrown to him. takes them. >> jim: now he has. >> gary: he's worked into a hitters count. >> jim: remember the curveball you were talking about. i still remember warren spawn saying ted williams struck him

markakis toward the hole.orales and gets the out. >> jim: what we talked about earlier, you have a 5-one lead. you pinch-hit for quinlan you trust the defense of a home run hitter. looks like albert pujols here. pujols was an outfielder made himself into a gold glove quality first baseman. they speed up the bat with a breaking ball and morales turns it into an out. >> gary: huff will stand in. aubrey has an 0 for 2 and a walk in the ball game. mike scioscia even though it's been the offense that carried to ballclub, to him it's defense. first and foremost. pitching, defense. that's how you win ball games. no matter the score he will make the changes. joking about that with his catchers and talking about them and said, my number one decision is who gives me the best defensive game behind the plate. that's the only thing i'm thinking about what i talk about who'll catch the ball game. here's the 0-1. s that inside. the count goes to 1-1 on huff. >> jim: the last two years for mathis catching tonight. it was 91-5

just a half a step ahead of markakis. >> jim: so markakis retired. two men down as blackburn tries to get out of it. here is nolan reimold. >> buck: these are the situations we had talked about in the open. scoring opportunities early. you have to grind, have good at bats, be and do whatever it takes to get at least one of these runs in here. >> jim: reimold takes a strike at the knees. >> buck: and jim in your interview with reimold, he talked about being patient. think because of his confidence, he doesn't swing at borderline pitches early. >> jim: there's that batting eye buck referred to. a close pitch, but he got the call. 1-1. >> buck: and obviously so many of these pitches for nolan reimold are new to him, doesn't know them, not really familiar with what they throw or where the release point is, so it's all about getting as much information as you can quickly. >> jim: strike on the outside corner. that time blackburn got the call, and it's 1-2. talk about his amazing consistency that earned him the promotion. base hits in 27 out of 31 games, t

markakis avery long run and diving and markakis make as great play!throw will come to the plate. it will not be in time. a run will score on a sac fly. a good head's up base running by overbay. what r. but what a play by markakis as he makes a diving catch! 7-5 game. >> buck: terrific concentration. it is going to be very close to hitting the turf here. it is in fair territory and the three to the plate not in time, but what a big out. great concentration by markakis. remember, you're thinking about cutting off balls in the gap, and then to get that little flare down the right-field line, he made a fine catch. now a runner on at second base, the potential tying run in the ballgame is at the plate. rbi by wells in the inning and one by rios, so both have two rbi ballgames. rios is now up to 60 on the season and wells up to 44. and chris ray will look for the final out here without allowing that other run, wells, to score. and the pitch is a strike. and encarnacion has doubled, 1- 3 in the ballgame. melvin mora, charging, and another good play to get th

he had stopped at second base with markakis leading the league in assists and markakis knows that.n his haste to get ball, he bobbled it. too tight. vernon has to get out of the way. chris ray now getting loose in the orioles bullpen. vernon wells talking it over with colbreth. that was little close, wasn't it? 3-0 on wells. there is a strike, 3-1. >> buck: again, you get your self into a hitter count. you give vernon wells the opportunity to look in a particular area of the plate. he has already hit a home run today. he had a base hit in his last at-bat. there is a line drive, a base hit. and here is another run that scores. adam lind comes in. so albers has allowed four of the five hitters he has faced to reach ant jays get two huge insurance runs here in the 7th inning. >> buck: and you give roy halladay a little bit more breathing room. this pitch well off the plate. wells not trying to do too much with it knowing he has a chance to get a pretty good pitch here and drills it into centerfield, picks up an rbi. he has three on the day. >> jim: the two run-ins this inning, the fir

markakis had a 38-gamer earlier this year. ball one outside. >> jim: michael aubrey heading to third. there will be no throw to the plate, and on on rbi double by brian roberts, the orioles have a 1-0 lead! >> buck: jim had mentioned earlier the importance and significance of five runs, what a good ball club this is. when they score five runs or more. and certainly against scott baker, you're off to an encouraging start. baseballer has been awfully tough in the first three innings, and then after 4, he's had a tough time keeping the 0 opponent from scoring. >> jim: izturis too late on the swing. >> baker checks reporters, not likely to go with two counsel. cuddyer has a play moving over towards the line, and he has it for the out, but the orioles get a run.  our 737s fly to over 65 cities across the country every day. pa announcer: final boarding call... all passengers... each with an average speed of 590 mph... almost as fast as you. nothing's gonna hold you down. grab your bag . it's on™west so our low fa

nick markakis is out. two men out. >> jim: it is funny.u started to say okay, darren olive this is his 14th year in the big leagues. you would say well you know, does he have a great slide and you go well, no. but it is very good. how about his curve ball? he only throws 90 or whatever. but he can pitch. he makes pitches. and my point all day long, if you look at the 14 runs, eight for the angels and six, a lot of them have been on pitches where the pitchers just haven't executed like they would like to. >> third baseman in the coaches box up now the orioles go three up three down in the seventh. angels coming up. up by two. @pp÷÷÷  >>> back here at oriole par is a two run game. it is for the birds. the last two innings of the game chris ray will stay on. and the top of the lineup and that means ray has to go against sean who is 3 for 4 with a couple of rbi hits. izturis will follow, then bobby abreu. there is a trying in the outside corner. about guthrie went give. hendrickson struck out the only batter he faced. ray

nick markakis is he could in the american league.s been playing well all year long defensively at 3rd base. >> buck: so matusz gets the first two outs trying to get through the difficult first inning. and here is asdrubal cabrera, who fouls it straight back.   strike 3. retire it is side 3-up, 3-down. indians can't score. going to the bottom of the 1st. and here come the birds! of the plane in the dark. no peanuts or nothin'. and then if your bag wants to bring one of its little bag friends for company, they charge another $25. that's just plain mean. why do they hate your bags? at southwest airlines, bags fly free. grab your bag. it's on!

roberts and markakis at the top of the list. one of thing about their swing they each have the ability to the use the entire feel. though hit it down the line or gore the gap. that's the reason they get so many doubles. you can't defend a guy that uses the whole field. you've to the play them one way or the other. there's brian roberts and mick markakis is beading the defense. >> when dave trembley was talking about the media he was asking about a pitch thrown to buy in his first at-bat and a discussion between mike scioscia and the home plate umpire, who's to crew chief. last night when pie hit for the cycle the angels were upset about him celebrating a cycle. that may have had a carry over. you tell me. was this ray purpose pitch. no caught in my mind it was a purpose pitch. theyn't wanted to send a message they didn't like the celebrating. mike said it after i heard that they were upset with pie, that he would probably get thrown at, at that point this the game. he did. >> you see mike scioscia came on the field for two calls

brian bass is getting loose in the bullpen. 1-2 on nick markakis. tie game 8-8 in the bottom of the eleventh. the angels haven't scored since the seventh inning. the orioles got a run in the eighth on the wieters pinch hit rbi single and a run in the ninth to tie it. each team has 13 hits. there are only two pitchers remaining in the angels pull ben. shane lucas and jason holcomb. looking out on this hot day. the orioles have three. toward the middle and it gets to a base hit but nick markakis gets on with two men down a two-hit game for nick. he now has 40 multi-hit games and ties adam jones for the team lead. >> 36 consecutive games hit or walked, get go on base some way. so once again, the outsideout field will get a couple of steps deeper. good speed at first. here's aubrey huff, singled his last at bat. grounded out three times and popped up to third. the angels have caught 21% of the potential base stealers. 79% have made it successful. not much of a lead by nick. that is the one thing he said he was going to try to concentrate on, maybe steal

the orioles and red sox play quite a bit, as markakis take as strike. 0-1 on markakis.and behind jones. and he gets back. one of the things about masterson, he is allowed 13 steals on the year. caught only 4 on the mound. the orioles look at that and say, look, if you can get a pretty good jump, let's go. >> buck: has a pretty good move against adam jones early on. >>> jones there again, picked it up, shortstop cabrera calling. so, markakis retired. 0-2. 2 down in the 3rd inning . nolan reimold will bat now. orioles have three-runs in, one on a error, two on a home run by pie, and here is reimold. no one has hits in 14 of the last 16 games, and again, chases masterson back to first. and masterson now put slowing down his pace to try to upset the timing of jones, it looks like, at 1st. >> buck: he virginia it from time to time. a lot quicker at 1st base than numbers might suggest. i think he gets into a little bit of a rut, and that is when base runners can really have their way with masterson. >> jim: big lead for adam jones off 1st base, and a foul back at the plate. a

nick markakis and brian roberts have combined the season for 82 doubles. they are on pace to hit 116 and if they reach that mark they will tie a major record for the most doubles hit in a teammate. a long standing record there that brian roberts and nick markakis could soon break. jim in. >> jim: we know speaker owned palmer. george burns not only could he hit doubles, he was a funny guy. lived to be 100 imjim i wonder if graci was a big baseball fan? >> jim: you are low asking high fast ball, couldn't get your speaker out? >> jim: apparently not. couldn't get burns out, either. >> jim: very impressive. scott against sean o'sullivan in the second. number three draft choice. >> jim: he was rated coming into this season by baseball america as the fifth best prospect in the angels's organization. the projection was he would spend the entire season in the double a. he is over but runs out of room. he has pitched in only 82 minor league games, including his time in the minors this year. he has 37 minor league wins. this year he has seven starts here in the big

a double over the right field over markakis head.e struggles all the way through this entire inning. he understand up hitting cabrera actually it was a 3-2 pitch. he would have walked him anyway. that walked in another run and they scored two off him. ended up scoring three. here chris ray comes in and dawz very good job getting through the inning. the rest of the bullpen all night long was pretty good. kam mickolio has been unscored upon so far this season right here. look at this play by izturis. amazing. mickolio threw an out-- doing an outstanding job. he gets into the ninth inning. he runs out of luck right here. base hit to right field. nick markakis cannot make the play. the runners were running on a 3- 2 count. that's the game winner for the minnesota twins. they pull out a 7-6 win against the orioles and orioles just let them stay too close all night long. >> tough part about that was mickolio got the first two outs in the inning and he had been sue peshd since being recalled. he's been recalled three times. think that's the

the way that nick markakis is swinging a bad. and everybody can contribute now they have gone to smith. and they will have an opportunity. it has been better a nice job for him clothing up games. >> gary: there is the bullpen. perez is working an inning and a 3rd. and they are playing in a steady light rain. >> gary: not light out there.

single to markakis. he is on here, trying to keep it a 4-run game. >> jim: orioles bouncing back after orioles got to cleveland at the top of the 1st and they give it right back. so pie showing a little respect to wedge. he is hot, comes up.   >> buck: a two run home run into the bullpen in left center. 7th of the season. came against masterson, part of a 4-run inning. >> jim: and pie has been hitting the ball hard. getting a chance to play a little more. taking advantage of it. run, swing and a line drive to left. has it for the out. and the inning ends. we will head to the 7th in camden yard. the orioles have the 5-1 lead! what is it to lead? at pnc, it's doing what most benefits our customers. whether that's building more certified green buildings than anyone on earth. creating online banking tools for the next generation. or making a 10 year, $100 million investment in kids. it's how we've always done business. and will for a very long time to come. pnc. leading the way.  >> jim:

markakis will bare hand it. that's a base hit. mathis is on, a lead-off single. the 10th hit for the angels. >> jim: nobody playing there. you're standing on the mound. make a good pitch. you jam them and you know it will fall. the good news it didn't go for two. when you want that extra romer. a good softball out fielder they give you. >> gary: the 10th player. chone figgins doubled the last time up. he's walked and scored. 5-game hitting streak for figgins upping his average to .304 on the season. the pitch is looped to right field. markakis didn't know he was in. tried the force at second. can't get it there in time. a couple looping singles start the 6th inning by mathis and figgins. >> jim: have we seen any of the guys over swing. quinlan has done it twice. kendrick has two hits. guererro, he walked with the bases loaded. that's hard to believe. and they have all had good at- bat and that's what the angels are about. that's why they are what they are. >> why they lead the league. the bullpen active again. getting up to throw again the hendrickson. this is th
