inopportune first error of the season, not only for miguel tejada but the entire orioles team. >> it did. it opened the door for toronto to come back and put a couple of runs on the board, but, boy, i was feeling pretty good about kevin millwood. the way he was throwing on the ball game. all of a sudden, the way he came to get ready for the post game show, notice the pitcher start today hang. city up there. the next thing you know, back- to-back home runs. it looks at that point milwaukee had a tough time getting the ball down and it really cost today. >> let's take a look at the game summary. the only run game in the bottom to have 1st. tejada with a couple doubled down the left field line. instead of the inning over t inning continues. next play, bautista got into it. 2 home run down the line, gave the jays a 3-2 lead. and comes up again against millwood. fastball that was tied. he hits it out again. home run, that made it 4-2. and encarnacion homered in the 9th inning. so, a 5-2 final as the blue jays 7 hits, but 4 of those hits home runs, and every run the jays had on the board.

and miguel tejada looking to find that consistency. it's the o's and rays on masnright now.rom or yell park, it's o's extra. the match up for tonight as the orioles match up with the tampa bay rays. this is a rematch of last wednesday, the second game of the year when garza after a tough inning came on strong and eventually got the win. we'd like to welcome all of you who are watching the nationals plus the phillies on masn. there is no secret what is going on here. it's all about the lack of hitting up and down the lineup. the orioles have scored three runs total over the last 22 innings. three runs in 22 innings. really, there is only two hitters on the rosters that has any kind of a positive trend going right now. so the question is when you are in a team slump, adds the orioles are, and i realize it is only six games, how do you break out it? >> well, jimmy, you have to break it down to its simplest component. what is my job at the moment. but what do you have to do with men on first and second and nobody out? you have to get those guys to second and third. usually it's

miguel tejada is a winner. no question. wieters, matusz, markakis. jones.hese guys are winners. >> jays here in baltimore on friday. o's early schedule, loaded with american league east division opponents. >>> the college basketball season is now complete. and duke stands as a champion. it's a reality nothat is probably not embraced. but the terps. butler almost did it. it was a battle from beginning to end. and the end was nearly miraculous. that's how close it was. duke wins its fourth title. >> those guys were the toughest. they gave everything they had, just like we did. >> they're crushed. this matters. they didn't come in here. happening they were just going -- thinking they were just going to roll over and not have a chance. they wanted to win. >> and butler, you don't want to see this. on duke's campus today, a crowd of more than 9,000 gathered at cameron indoor stadium. by the way, tv indicates about 48 million people tuned in to see the title game. >> in football, the former eagle. donovan mcnabb. traded after 11 standout seasons in philadelphia.

miguel tejada is 0-3 in the ballgame. he has flied out twice and hit into a fielder's choice. and an 0-1 count. >> mike: that string of bad luck seemed to start at tejada's at bat. that bases loaded, line drive to left. >> gary: garza out with a run on six hits over eight. chance to win a second. down to third longoria. makes the play over to first and gets the out. longoria puts a lot of fine tar right in the glove. so much so the yankees were saying the ball was being pine toward up by longoria. he takes it and he rubs it right into the palm of the glove. >> mike: i don't know it you should be saying that on tv. >> gary: he didn't care. he was not concerned about it. >> mike: well, it sticks like velcro. >> gary: and it's down low for ball. >> mike: i made the mistake one time of congratulating a pitcher who threw a spitball. never would i ever do that again. you know, pine tar, probably is stuck to the for a while. >> gary: you can't stop shaking his hand. >> mike: you stick it on the wall in the clubhouse and you're done. >> gary: 1-0 count wieters. single time he was up he

. >>> well miguel tejada is in the batting cage. that's a good sign.eup tonight but the hope is for friday night to be back in there. the lineup for tonight, really a different look. the thing is wigginton at 3rd. markakis at right. wieters at the cleanup spot. six multihit games for him on the year. that's the most of the club. jones batting 6th. justin turner getting the start at 2nd base, and izturis at shortstop, batting 9th. and we see yet another look to the lineup. here's what we are talking about. so far this year throed. changing in here tonight. five different leadoff men, four in the number two whole, four in the number three slot. five in the number five. seven different six play hitters. five in the seventh and eighth, and ninth. last year in all the game there is were 132 different lineups. rick this is so drastic from what we expect in the offseason. once andy got all the players on the team, the big question was who would bat eighth? all the other spots came together. it's disruptive because you cannot get anything going with the guys i

miguel day tejada flies it back .ve up some home runs against the phillies, but spring training doesn't really quantify -- you can't qualify them i guess because -- >> migmiguel tejada is hit by a pitch. last year, garza hit 11 batters. >> well, righty to righty, that ball really runs in. of course, maybe that's why he wears that guard. it's really kind of in the back of the hat and miss that protection. i suppose if you're going to be hit, that's one of the places. it still hurts, but you do get to go to first. >> miguel talking with carlos pena at 1st base and luke scott with a chance. the orioles have a base runner with 2 down. fast ball tainting the outside corner. tampa bay, as they did last year, they don't expect him to go the opposite way. we saw pena punt against the -- for a 1st base hit. there's two ways to look at that. you can help your team, but tampa bay is more concerned with luke scott getting on base than him bunting. >> 11 hits to left field last year. the one thing -- i've watched him hit the last

. >> guthrie going to work on shoppach has tejada is behind him. the one thing miguel brings every day is that enthusiasm. he's always happy and always smiling. that rubs off on you. >> i think he feels this might be the best club he has played on as he's been an oriel. you know, it's early. didn't have as a club, a great spring. of course, there were injuries. but, to me, he looks like he's in great shape. >> and no doubt he can still hit. >> jim: shoppach went too far and he's tagged out by wieter. you go back to two years ago when he was one of the better pitchers in the league, he could throw this pitch and command it. last year he led the american league with 35. if you're a power guy and you throw not too many changeups, and you hang them, that's where you give up a lot of home runs. perfect. it's the right pitch to throw the kelly shoppach. >> reid brignac getting a shot at base tonight. brignac just 24 years old. tampa drafted him out of high school in louisiana. there's draft picks and high draft picks up and down this tampa bay roster. he's just 24 years old.

. >> reporter: miguel tejada was brought to baltimore to add much needed pop and consistency to the lineup. one things you know he's going to be consistent and durable. he played all games in his first career season. last night he got his first of his 2010 campaign. he admitted he and the rest of his teammates need to step it up in that category tonight. >> we've got to improve. to be a winner, that's the part we have to do the whole year. i think is more important is bring the running home with two outs is more important. i think starting today i think everybody got in their mind we need to drive in more runs. >> reporter: we saw how many doubles you had last year. you're batting 4 hole this year. where you're at in your career, do you see more opportunities to drive in runs based upon doubles rather than going for the long ball as you may have previously? >> yeah. i don't get any younger. i don't try to hit the ball out of the park. in the last two year what i do, try to hit the ball in the gap and get a base hit. i'm going to try to be more consistent with my driving runs. that's what i

next batter is miguel tejada and that ball is battered deep down the left field.'s for the two home run, his 3rd of the year. game is tied at 4th and they went to extra innings. top of the 10th, bases loaded for ryan hughes. he delivers with a single to right field. tejada scores from 3rd and everybody else moves up a base. orioles take a 5 hou 5-4 lead. luke scott scores, and scott wiggington comes right behind him to lead it at 7-4. little hall loops a field so the left field. red sox cut the lead to just one at 7-6. jim johnson now. meredith is going to try to close it out. wiggington is there for the catch and the ball game is over. meredith gets his first career save as the orioles nap the 5 game losing streak and get a >>> welcome back to fox 45 morning news. 7:31 is the time. i'm patrice harris. >>> we have a lot going on on the roadways this morning, and it's all a result of the weather we got yesterday and overnight. meteorologist steve fertig is here with a look at exactly the massive thunderstorms that came through. >> yeah. >> i got into bed around 8,

miguel tejada not playing.s 90% and will play barring anything else happening in the series in boston. dr. james andrews examining michael gonzalez. the report was no surgery necessary. the rehab will continue. and hopefully he will be back after some, probably a total of three weeks maybe he would be out. >> jim: it's that strengthen program they do, and he will go down to zaire quota. -- down to sarasota. >> gary: two down, runner on 1 1st base. >> jim: it would be terrific for the ball club to obviously get miggy back. he will come back in the next few days, and then again mike gonzalez, get him back to where he was throwing the ball last year with atlanta, and then your bullpen is better. there's the closer right there. >> jim: it will be interesting. he has only had 16 straight consecutive saves saves in a row, so if you're don wakamatsu, that's been pretty seizesy to bring him in -- easy to bring him in the game. >> gary: a breaking ball, with a complete game for millwood, and he hopes that maybe it will

. >> jim: with tejada out, he wants to play, miguel talked about getting back tomorrow. because of the abductedder, wigginton gets a chance to play. i don't think he knew how much he was going to play. he came to spring training in better shape. >> gary: he brings it back out here to open up in seattle. >> jim: can he bring the lineup card out when he pitches. >> gary: i guess so, why not. there he is back on the bench. let's look at the game time temperature, it's 68 degrees and comfortable. visit train search.com to locate an independent train dealer near you. >>> here's the starting lineup for the orioles. jones, wigginton, markakis, reimold, wieters and scott. the numbers for ty wigginton, 300 and 3 home runs. >>> let's look at the scouting report for doug fister. he loves to pitch at safeco. yet to win on the road. came up last year, very deceptive angle to home plate. he's like jeff of the rays and tough in the clutch. when they get runners in scoring position, something the orioles have not done well. .189. >> interesting, neither pitcher tonight has won a game on

tejada to roberts. that's all they'll get. a run scored. all the end of the bat, miguele runner out of scoring position. smart play there. if you're going to get one out, get the lead runner. that's a groundout for navarro. 5-3 game. >> rob: i'm surprised -- matt told me navarro was the toughest guy to pitch to. he said i'll keep throw ing changeups. he stays back and can go ahead and hit the ball the other way. >> jim: back to the top of the lineup, here's bartlett. bartlett's rbi single in the 23 23rd -- the 3rd. here's why coaches preach make the hitters earn their way on. don't walk batters tampa bay scored 3 runs, all runners on by a walk. line to right to markakis, has it for the out. albers gets through. one run in. orioles now with the 200 lead. >>> we're in the home stretch 2010 census. fill it out and mail it back today. back here at tropicana field there's zobrist. he gets around, picks up a different glove. brignac pinch hit, stays in at second base. navarro stays in the game now behind the plate. a new pitcher, fifth used by maddon comes on, randy choate. sc
