nolan reimold now, that will be his 30th run batted in. he's at first base. the lobs to over. ve trembley was saying today he has talked personally with reimold about stealing more bases. they think he can be a better base stealer. he is 6-6. he doesn't take a lot of chance because he is learning how to steal. trembley said we've asked him to really concentrate on learning how to get a jump, how to get a secondary lead, how to read pitchers. 1-0 delivery. it is taken up high and a 2-07 count on melvin mora. the only question is whether reimold is going to be running. here is the 2-0 delivery on the way. melvin mora will foul it back. >> buck: this would be a good time to run. remember, we talk about balls going to the power allies in the gaps. the runners from first base can score, especially if they're moving on the pitch. >> gary: to ball, one strike count. romero, tough the steal on. left-hander with a good move. melvin mora fouls it back again. base stealers are only 3-9 against romero on the season. matt albers is up for the o's. jason berken at the moment becomes the pitc

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. and nolan reimold has been really hitting the extra base hits, and result, slugging personal .456, highest percentage in history. >> buck: look at markakis and sheets, all pretty prominent rookies. >> jim: outside, 2-1. adam back to 1st base. what is very impressive with reimold is his approach at the plate, his patience. for a young hitter, he looks over the pitches, very good batting average. 2-1 the count. and inside ball

nolan reimold singled. but peay loses sight of the ball. he looks like he has no idea. he should have been on third. he eventually scored, but that should not happen. in the 6th inning, reimold would foul out. for some unknown reason, peay tries to tag from second base there is no way he was going to make it to third. he gets tagged out.

(laughter). >> jim: here is nolan reimold. waves at it. 1-1. mold now has 16 rbis since the all star break. it's going to be interesting to see how players like nolan reimold and matt wieters perform the final three weeks of the season. once you get beyond that labor day where in the past the minor league season would end and your season would be done, and in the big leagues, you still have three weeks full of games left. >> buck: i would like to think that the excitement of playing in the big leagues would energize them to the point where they wouldn't even think about fatigue. young guys physically in good shape, you would think fatigue would be the last thing. >> jim: 2-2 on reimold. izturis on second with two down. fouls it off to stay alive. >> buck: that, a good pitch right there. breaking ball right on the outside corner, and he hung in there. but if you're nolan reimold and matt wieters, kind of hate to see the season come to an end. first major league season. going to go down the stretch, play the yankees and red sox. going to see the t

so frasor battling his command here but he is a strike away from ending it. 0-2 on nolan reimold. nside. >> buck: reimold has really developed a good eye, the ability to take those borderline pitches. you don't see him take an awful lot of wild swings, even though he has a chance to be a pretty decent power hitter. >> jim: 1-2 the count on reimold. mora will run and that's inside, 2-2. an appeal to first and no swing, adrian johnson. that will not be a stole on base for mora. the blue jays just let him take it. it is a good play for melvin because now there is no force at second base. ground ball to an infielder, they have to play to first. 2-2 for reimold. fouled back. >> buck: breaking ball as he stayed on, it trying to keep this inning alive here, turn the line-up over. i e reimold, sin the all-star break, 1 home run and -- since the all-star break, 1 home run and 9 rbis. the word is out on reimold about his power so they pitch to him very carefully. 2-2 the count with 2 down. mora at second and reimold is down on strikes ant blue jays win it. so after the orioles got the opener

tip of the cap to nolan reimold in left field!a denied a base hit. >> a nice running catch to take away a hit from laporta. he has been limping around on that sore achilles tendon. what an effort. >> gary: nolan reimold, mr. understated. another fine play in left field. one down. marte, a sac fly. a walk and his last chance to extend his eight-game hit streak. the 0-1 delivery. that will miss and the one ball, one strike count. berken with a chance get his fourth win as he has a couple of runs, five hits, three walks, five strikeouts. berken and his first outing against the indians in his career. a pretty good chance getting a victory and going 4-11. 1-2 delivery, and that is taken inside. two ball, two strike count. >> buck: this is all about late season momentum now for the orioles. you want to win games and you want to carry real positive outings into the postseason. so jason berken continues to take steps in the right direction. two ball, two strike count on marte. 12-29 during the eight-game hit streak. 4-14 batting average.

nolan reimold is a very good base runner. here you go. off the end of the bat. nice rbi.t a half-inch from breaking your hand possibly and you get an rbi. >> gary: 30th rbi for mora and a 1-0 lead for the orioles. reimold took off. chad moeller gets his first start since being recalled. breaking ball is going to be taken outside. gregg zahn being moved to tampa bay, chad moeller came up on friday. he hit .203 with the tides. now chad getting a start in the ballgame today. as wieters will be working about six games a week, and moeller will get that extra one on no particular day. chased one away.  at some restaurants when you get boneless wings... what are you really paying for? whoa! ha ha! i say "happy," you say "birthday!" happy... birthday! who's hungry? why pay for flair when you can get all the flavor for just $3.99 with wendy's new boneless wings. tender, juicy chicken, hand tossed in our signature buffalo or bbq sauce. it's waaaay better than fast food. it's wendy's.  >> gary: he's looking at th hot dogs. that's the reaction from the young man

nolan reimold, nick markakis, luke scott coming up. nolan reimold is 1-3, he's also walked. and takes a strike. chris ray followed mark hendrickson who got the orioles out of that huge jam in the sixth and kam mickolio following hendrickson put this game back in order, but it's still tied and now in the ninth inning. reimold is dhing tonight batting third. there's jim johnson just in case the orioles get the lead, he'll be ready to pitch in the bottom of the ninth inning. 0-2 both these teams have three, four and five coming up in the nineth inning. when the twins bat in the bottom of the ninth, it will be reimold, markakis and scott coming up in the top of the ninth. hooked foul to protect the outside corner. jesse crain has faced six batters. he's retired all six. >> buck: as we mention, he is by far the most dominant pitcher on either team tonight. kam mickolio, he's been rett red-hot at a -- he had a 1-2-3 eighth inning. >> jim: this might be crain's last batter because lefties follow and harris is ready. that ball is hit into left field for a base hit. reimold got a mis

aaron laffey. >> jim: and nolan reimold pops a foul back in the plate. uck: i wish i had a chance, tim and the crew not in the building, but he love it is umpires. got a chance to take the line- up cards down to the many umpires in spring training. bob davison would have had a big fan if he could have met young dylan today. >> jim: look here, moved the 3rd baseman to the opposite side of the shortstop to keep asdrubal cabrera on the shortstop side of the bag. >> buck: yes. they will do that from time to time thinking the shortstop is in his most normal position right here. the 3rd baseman jhonny peralta go out there. >> jim: actually, it is jamey carroll playing today. >> buck: yes, jamey also has played a lot of 2nd base himself. >>> gets it to 1st right there. 2 down in the 2nd inning. don't forget t orioles begin a 3-game series against the birds, the final chapter this season at orioles park. great seats, but going fast. 2-down in the orioles 2nd here is matt wieters,

reimold dhing tonight. nolan had his 10-game hitting streak haflted last night batting in the number three spot with adam jones out again. down and away. 1-1 the count. i briefly saw adam before the game and i said how are you doing? how is the back? he kind of grunted at me. i took that to mean he's still not feeling as well as needs to be to get back in there. you mentioned something -- here is the 1-1. a good movement on that pitch. reimold can't reach it. 1-2. >> buck: that's the good slider as it's got tight spin on t when it's got tight spine, you -- spin, you don't see any seams. you think it's a fastball and it's out of the strike zone. it started out on the outer half and got reimold to chase. >> jim: ball and two strikes on reimold. takes low. ball two. >> buck: it's interesting, challenging assignment for joe mauer. gabino was with the twins in spring training. didn't pitch very much. he was kind of a guy just around to get his feet on the ground first spring training camp. >> jim: 2-2, taken down and

nolan reimold tracking it. it just gets over the wall for a three-run homer. it's rivera's 19th homer of the year, capped a nine run inning. the angels crush the os 17-8 in extras. nascar, on the trash in michigan today it was heartbreak for jimmy johnson and joy for brian vickers. lap 121. curt bush and david reagan. spin out of control. both cars slide down the track. curt bush gets the worst of it. he'll need a mechanic for this. he would finish 36th. jimmy johnson dominated the race. he led 165 laps. with three to go he runs out of fuel. oh, no. has to go to pit road. johnson ends wup a disappointing 33rd place finish. i ran out of fuel one time and i needed help. beside the fact. victory for brian vicker. he takes the checkered fla at michigan, his firstry vto inic more than three years, the second of his career. jeff gordon second, dale earnhart jr. third. >>> walking a fine line high above the ground. come back and check it out.

top one, nolan reimold, chopper. it goes to cabrera at the hot corner, and he throws, but it's wide. error on the play. later, felix peia connected on this. 5-1 orioles. elsewhere, toronto hosting tampa bay, and rays infielder mcdonald, watch him bat down a hard-liner, spin and fire for the out. that, ladies and gentlemen, true athleticism. unlike washington nationals outfielder elijah dukes strolling along merrily on a routine fly ball that drops out of his hands. that allows the base run tore advance. he figured, hey, i caught the ball. i don't think so, buddy. tomorrow night, philadelphia eagles highly controversial quarterback michael vick free to play pro ball conditionally after a year and a half in prison for dog fighting returns to the playing field. he and the eels host the jacksonville jaguars. >> i can only go off what i've seen in practice. looks like he's moving around pretty good. it's been, realistically, two years. >> how close are you to michael vick? >> that's my best friend. he's got 10 years left

nolan reimold singled. but peay loses sight of the ball. he looks like he has no idea. he should have been on third. he eventually scored, but that should not happen. in the 6th inning, reimold would foul out. for some unknown reason, peay tries to tag from second base there is no way he was going to make it to third. he gets tagged out. peay can be very frustrating to watch at times. so again, we'll have highlights tonight of the orioles game on the latest at 11. that's your sports. i'm rob carlin. we wrap up the news right after this. >>> okay, travelers, listen up. us airways is raising its first and a second checked bag fees by $5 each. the carrier will charge now $20 for the first checked bag, and 30 for the second. and that's only when bags are checked online. passengers will also pay an extra $5 per bag when checking in at the airport. >>> federal officials say a maintenance company hired by southwest airlines used unauthorized parts for repairs on some older jets. the parts must be replaced. but engineers say they are not considered an immediate threat. regulato

that's nolan reimold.f markakis can get on here, the go ahead run comes to the plate in the 9th inning. 3-1 on nick. check swing, appeal to third, went too far. nick still on first base, doesn't realize that bruce said he did not check in time. >> buck: boy, that's a wicked breaking ball. >> buck: when you have joe nathan on the mound, if you're ron gardenhire, you just sit there until he's done. one way or another. you're not going to do too much. had him rested. friday and saturday off. then through 53 pitches on friday in kansas city. twins swept the royals. so nathan was allowed to rest the last couple of days, even though he's not a guy that likes to rest an awful lot. >> jim: reimold ripped foul down the line. >> buck: good to idea there. you could see harris, the third base man, right on the line. so if that ball is lined in fair territory, he's going to make a play on it. and that's the objective here, take away those double possibilities down the line. outfield deep. that reflects that same mental

nolan reimold hit a three-run shot, they went on to win 8-7. the bird head to chicago for the weekend. >>> apparently that exhibition soccer match showed the world charm city loves to kick it. they have made the cut. it's is now one of the venues being considered for the 2018 world cup. they have to find out in december whether they made it down to the list of 18. december is also when international soccer officials will decide on host nations for those two world cups. we'll be right back. >> abc 2 news is brought to you by comcast. get the new comcast hd triple play. abdel basset. >> abc 2 news is brought to you by le vine as, tolls man and handelsman. ally mehmet al mag re. ma graffiti he. er rebate, you may also qualify for 0% apr for 72 months. that means you can buy a '09 malibu for $271 a month after a $3500 government rebate and no down payment. go to chevy.com for details. your money now. stocks rallied today to finish in positive territory. the dow gained nearly 71 points. the tech-heavy nasdaq closed up 20 and the sap up nearly 11 poi

[ laughter ] we don't know. you know. we're hopeful. and i think it's fair to say that everybody that is a ravens fan should be hopeful that one of these two guys can do it. >> he is a legend around here. you can't say enough what he has done. i think they want somebody else to come in and do it all. but, you know, if they don't feel confident with that, they'll have to go back to matt. i'm hoping to show them i can do it full time. >> the ravens play at carolina saturday night. ellijay smith and kelly gregg won't play.

adam jones, nick markakis and nolan reimold. jones looking for his first base hit of the day. he has been on base with a couple of walks. got the final out of the 6th inning. and danys baez knew getting lose. getting ready to come out and work the 8th inning. here is a 1-1. >> buck: it is amazing when you look at the difference inthe games. when the starters can get you in there. it changes everything. >> buck: you continue have to wonder what you are going to get the middle relief guys. try to pitch, it is a tied game, simple game. that is a real challenge every manager, to try to get into that 7th and 8th inning with your starter, then you are lyrong matc situation when you can pickand challenge you bring relievers in because you have to. >>> adam just got a piece to stay aalive, so the bullpen will be asked to get 6 outs, matuszwaoutstanding fo7 innings. and adam got in the line up last night after missing five games. last night and tonight mbined, couple owalks today and ored a ru. % line drive to left field, softly hit. %- is a foul al just down the line. soun

this kid makes the infield work that much harder when he hurstles down that first base line. >> nolan reimold 1 for 4. his rookie rankings in hits right now 3rd in the american league with 82. home runs first with 12, and rbis with second at 39. when you look back at reimold here, here is a guy i don't think anybody was talking that much about. gets sent to the miners, and yet he comes up here and basically takes over left field. >> well, he's getting the i opportunity to play on a regular basis. i think we know from watching him in the minor leagues, this kid has talent. he has tremendous power. i like his line drive power. not line drive power per se, because he stays on top of the ball so well, but for this season right here, he just hits a lot of ball strong to the gaps, and that's where he is picking up this home run. that must ail loan is what keeps he anymore favor with the coaches and the manager and everything, just the way this kid watches and what goes on out on the field, and he runs the bases, runs them perfectly. he's rounding first base, on his way to second, picks up the third

on sunday, nolan reimold hit a two-run homer and they held on to beat the chicago white sox 5-4. >>> an unbelievable play in the phillies/mets game. an unassisted triple play to end the game. the feat is rare. just the 15th time in major league history that it's happened. the phillies won 9-7. >>> the redskins will be back to work this afternoon as they get read for a very important preseason game. the third game usually when the starters play most. the skins host the new england patriots friday night. >>> that's your sports minute. i'm lindsey czarniak. have a great monday. >> today a teen pop star talks about living with juvenile diabetes. to help raise awareness about the disease, nick jonas of the grammy nominated band the jonas brothers will be at the press club here in washington, d.c. this morning. in june he testified before congress to call for support. later today he'll share how he manages with the illness. he was diagnosed at 13 and says he has to test his blood sugar more than ten times a day. >> just about 5:21 now. time again for traffic and weather on the 1s. >> let's

that was the nolan reimold walkoff home run game.ing at second base today in place of brian robert. pie and izturis will follow in the 3rd inning. it's been an unusual start to this game as each team has batted twice. there a ground ball toward deep short and past scutaro and into left field. that should be an error as he went to plant the glove and the foot. >> buck: robert andino continues to hit the ball hard off roy halladay. he get the set to go to the back hand but never got the glove down. ball stayed down and it went right into left field. they have given scutaro an error on that and rightly so even though he didn't touch it. you have to make that play. >> jim: his fourth error opt year. toronto has the best fielding team percentage wise. that's only their 43rd error on as a club. throw to first. aind quo was leaning. he gets back. one thing you can do against halladay -- of course, it's hard to get on, you can steal on him. there have been 16 successful stole on bases. again the throw to first. >> buck: andino looked like he

nolan reimold, reimold struck out last time up, had a single and scored, has a stolen base in the ballgameround ball out, rbi for the first run. the orioles got rbi's in the fifth on a single by roberts and a ground ball out by jones. two home runs on the other side for the a's. hairston and kennedy solo shots. bottom half of the sixth. cahill, the 0-2. cahill trying to end the three game losing strike that he is in and not add to the 11 losses that he's put up so far this season. >> jim: he's actually pitched pretty well. change-up and sinker, his best pitch, the slider. not very effective. right there. i had that in my repertoire. it's well intentioned until it gets out of your hand. >> gary: and there's that breaking ball and he got him. >> jim: i think a little change- up or something. he's showing him the slider, but at the end of the day it's been sinker, change-up, and he's had a good one. i mean really sells it well. you have great arm speed, that's what hitters are trying to speed. if you slow down the arm, they can pick that change-up up. >> gary: two down here in the sixth innin

matt wieters, nolan reimold among orioles signing autographs during batting practice today as the birdsoday. it is the second game of this four-game series against the cleveland indians. welcome in jim hunter with rick dempsey. where have you been for two week ? i have been looking all over for you. >> you are back oh to the minor leagues again. >> no. i'm back on "o's xtra." i want to ask you about another disappointing loss. the 19th game this year the orioles have lost by one run. being competitive is fine, but what does this team and maybe the individual players collectively become a team, what do they have to do to get it to the next step? >> jim, there have been so many heart break games this year that you can look back at most of them and say there was one defining moment where you can say some fundamental of baseball where the team kind of broke down a little bit. if you look at last night's ballgame, it comes down to a principal. i know melvin mora talked about it about going to the mobbed about telling the pitcher. one of the principles never really to try to throw any hitter

in the seventh, nolan reimold, two-run home run, his 11th of the year, orioles doing it with the long came back, they got two outs for evan longoria, see you later. os hold on. tampa bay's four-game win streak is over, baltimore snaps a five-game losing streak. the rockies and the nationals, bottom four, bases loaded, two outs. how about this play by ian stewart? from his keister, the forced out at second, and the rockies get out of a jam. in the eighth, troy tulowitzki, that's a gaper, todd helton scores, and the rockies win 4-1. the rockies in a four-game win streak, they're 50-25 since jim tracy took over. the giants came in a game back of the rockies in the wild card, they played this afternoon in cincinnati. in a tent, drew stubs who struck out three times in the game took this one off the foul pole for his first major league home run, and it's a walk-off home run, so the reds take it 2-1, and with the rockies winning and the giants losing, the giants two out in the wild card, and there's a huge four-game series between the giants and the rockies at coors field starting tomorrow.

nolan reimold up with it. the runner will stay at third. laporta has his second hit. first and third, two down. that is the first time we have seen mickolio hit around a bit and dave trembley is looking on trying to come up with this final out. the outcome of this game was long ago determined. >> gary: andy marte, his rbi came in the second inning in a sac fly. the 0-2 delivery or two-out delivery is taken for a strike. 0-1. you don't know if brian roberts came out with a problem or not. it looks like he is all right. >> buck: i just think because you are where you are in the game and the d.h. wasn't going the factor in, they made that move. >> gary: he is going to make a good play to end it and he does. this one is in the book for the o's. a 13-4 win as berken takes up the victory over carmona, the indians' starter, and in this four-game set, the first two have been split. plus a free d. call the verizon center for customers with disabilities at 800.974.6006 tty/v  hi, everybody. jim hunter and rick dempsey getting ready for "o's xtra" post-game. we talked abou

no chance for nolan reimold to hit that pump right there. good running fastball i was talking about. i don't know about this one. don't touch the back of your hid unless you're going to adjust your hat right there. i i don't know, i might have to check a little closer the next time i face that young man. >> that's interesting, you did pick up on that. he struck out five, walked one, and gave up one run in the or yeahs loss to the minnesota twins. let's go back down to the metrodome where mark is talking with matt wieters. >> reporter: that's the position you want to be in, right with the winning run on base. >> that's right. wile just try to get it next time. >> mark: you hit a ball real hard with a runner on. you slapped your hands there. were you just mad you couldn't get that runner home? >> it was just one of those you hit hard, and anytime you hit a ball hard, you're going to be happy, but it would have been nice to sort of get that one up a little bit, and get tillman off the hook, because he threw a heck of game for us today. i haven'

nolan reimold the dh. nick markakis luke scott a rare start in left field and matt wieters.an roberts? >> brian has a lot of different weapons he can use. not only is he an excellent hitter, 155 hitters hits on the season so far. he's got 54 walks. he has one of the best eyes and it kind of proves my point about him being an excellent two-strike hitter is he can take very close pitches. he has no fear whatsoever that it's going to be called a ball. he usually gets himself in hitters counts right here. he's a little man with a big man swing. he can power the ball through the gaps overt outfielders' heads because they like to play him a little schall yoa. they don't expect he has the kind of power he really shows. he has 14 home runs on the season. they better start respecting something that. little guy can flat out hit. >> roberts is exactly halfway to killing the team of 52 consecutive games reaching base. you look at the catchers. matt wieters, joe mauer, compare the two. >> it's very hard to compare them. remember back to when joe mauer started there was a lot of similarit

. >> yesterday's player to watch was nolan reimold who homered. who is the player to watch tonight?well, i'm going to call another home run. michael aubrey is in the line yip now, getting one of his first starts with the orioles. i think he's going to go deep tonight. the fact that baker doesn't know who this guy is, he's going to leave one out there. >> we're going to hold you to that. >> how about the minnesota twins though. they're in third place, just four and a half games back in the american league central, but they're two games under .500. what a difference between the american league central and the american league east. jim hunter standing by with buck martinez for the play-by- play tonight 37 first of three. we'llable back for a half hour of post-game show. it's all coming up next here on masn.

in the air to left field, nolan reimold back, back, not going to get it. off the base ( crack of bat, cheering ) not playing with the kids? not on these legs. poor leg circulation. doctor says it's p.a.d. peripheral artery disease? hmmm. more than doubles your risk for a heart attack or stroke. so i hear. better ask your doctor about plavix. plavix can help protect you from a heart attack or stroke. plavix helps keep blood platelets from sticking together and forming clots, the cause of most heart attacks and strokes. my cousin the m.d. call your doctor about plavix.
