. >> i'm going with the one lefty batter in the inlupe and that is nick markakis.tting .440. here's another one of my famous reverse locks, he's got five games without an rbi so i think he's going to breakout today. let's get a look at the minnesota line-up that will go against jeremy guthrie. dinardo span. brendan harris and nuk punto round it out. one name noticeable bly nis missing that fr that line-up, joe mauer. >> he's not on the disabled list but he's day to day and think you know, this is a good thing for the orioles, an opportunity because joe mauer can hit anybody at any time at any place. it's amazing a catcher can hit as high as he does because it's so of wear and tear on you especially late in ball games. he right now i think is a better hitter than rod carew. this guy joe mauer, he's a catcher even better. >> game winning rbis if you go back to the 2009 season the beginning of it, look at the top two guys on the list, michael cuddyer and justin morneau. eddie and gary thorne on today's pitching match-up. >> this this couple of games goes away here tod

the key man all of a sudden is nick markakis because he is on some kind of a tear. >> i think nick ist being nick. i think early on in the season when he experienced a little bit of a slump, it was unusual for him and he started to keep his hands inside the ball, look to hit the ball up the middle, look to hit the ball the opposite way. i know he expected to hit more home runs this year because he is a lot stronger and more powerful, but you have to go with your swing now and that is something that is really putting him back on track. i think later on in the season you're going to see him with that swing there where you're going to become more consistent than hitting the ball out of the ballpark. i think right now you have to stick to what is working and that is staying inside the ball. >> in the meantime, matt wieters has discovered his power stroke for a couple of home runs. it is interesting where he bats in the lineup and how it affects his production. if he is one through four, he is batting third and he is batting just .114. and look at that, at six or lower, .459. brian, when y
