melvin said, wait a minute. i need to show you the respect, so melvin took his hat off and tipped it and then went over and shook his hands and had a conversation with him. tony owe leaveo told mep melvin he likes the way he plays the game especially on defense. he said if i was making a team, i'd want more guys like you. melvin said it was really interesting because he certainly knows what have tony owe leaveo did as player. he certainly had almost 2,000 hits and if not for bad knees, he probably would have played more and gotten more hits. melvin mixing it up with tony olivo understanding his importance of the game. i was told downstairs if there's a cuban on the team, he goes to the clubhouse to meet the cuban because olivo grew up in cuba. tony told me his family and the olivo family were very close. in fact, tony olivo's brother was danny's first pitching coach and tony olivo knows danny's dad and grandfather. he said in ciewn cuba where he's from, leon was preaty good player, but olivo is a legend. they us

melvin mora. melvin has a three-game hit streak. melvin had a 3-4 in the ballgame last night. the orioles down early by a score of 2-0. he is trying to get him back and that sweeping pitch is down low for a ball. 2-0. the o ease watts have continued the pound them out. they have been picking up hits here in ballgames, especially at home. they're going to need them against carmona if he is going to witch them in this game the way he has over his last pho starts since being recalled from the minors. melvin mora takes it in the air to center field. markakis will tag. nick will head, and the throw is too strong. he's got to go back. good arm of sizemore, and melvin mora, the fly ball out. one away. mora gave ate ride, but to the deepest part of the ballpark. 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 wil

here is melvin mora. and there is a strike.are the situations that the orioles in the series have not been able to cash in on. they did win 7-5 in the opening game because they had a four- run 6th inning. yesterday was frustrating day for the orioles because they lost in 10 and they had a lot of chances to get runs in on the board and they could not get the big hit. >> buck: another good pitch by halladay. this is what makes him so tough. he will get a couple on mora and pants that outside corner. >> jim: two strikeouts in the game. he has walked one. 0-2 on mora. and there is a ground ball right side and that get through for a base hit. here is jones to score. melvin mora with two strikes, both his hits in the game have been when he was down in the count. orioles now trail by 2. >> buck: that's a good at-bat. halladay out in front 0-2. watch how mora covers the outside corner. that's the cutter. mora anticipating something away drives home adam jones who hit a single with one out. >> jim: so jones comes in. mora gets the rbi,

melvin on for a double. one thing you leaded to, the other teams in the american league west out pitch the angels. if good pitching outdoes good hitting that's what will happen in the playoff. >> one of beautiful things about this season if you love baseball and things that are not suppose to happen. texas is out pitching the angels. who would have said that at the start of the year. >> jim: nolan ryan. >> gary: yes, he d. he said you better or i'm going the release you. >> jim: a different work ethic and expectation level. >> gary: orioles another chance to get to lackey with two down, runner at 2nd base. pie has lined out, hit into a fielders choice. he will take the strike, 1-1 with a runner at 2nd base. the orioles have been a hit away a number of times from cutting this lead to, you know down by one or two more. they have not been able to get it against lackey and credit lackey. >> jim: .247 with runner in scoring position. pretty good number. last inning a runner at third, got markakis to strike out or

melvin mora with three great plays.he entire infield, but the anchor in shortstop has certainly been consistent for you. >> well, the first double-play he turned. that was a special one. you know, his ability to concentrate on the ball, still find the bag, you know, he's -- he's out there for a reason, and on this turf, the game is a little quicker, little different turf than in tampa. this is a little faster surface. >> a real entertaining game. we saw great pitching on both sides. >> the twins ball club, they have a pedigree, they know what it's like to play tough baseball in august and september. we saw a good ball game here tonight. >> back to the studio. let's rejoin tom and rick. >> our thanks to jim and to buck. they'll be back tomorrow night for game two of the three-game series against the twins. there was a classic inning in the 6th. after the twins had scored one run. joe mauer is up. he's hitting .442 during the month of august, and facing chris tillman. >> well, this toldmy a lot about chris tillman, becaus
