yankees had scored 9 in the 4 4th, santana 3 innings pitched. they win 15-0.12 at yankees stadium. >> you're going to have to win 8 or 10 runs to win a ballgame it looks like. they're starting to be more offensive on the road too. >> we'll see if martis can get the nationals back on track when he takes the mound tuesday night. ray and i will be back in just a moment. ... and one place only: golden, colorado. it's followed one tradition: use the best high-country barley... and only rocky mountain water. and it's been brewed under one motto: never compromise. now maybe this means we're a little set in our ways. but we know a few guys who will drink to that. coors. the banquet beer. how far can you see? at pnc, taking the long view is how we help you take the right path. even to change it when conditions demand. keeping you on the road to achieving your goals. it's something we've been doing for over 150 years. let our strength and stability be the basis for yours. pnc. leading the way. >>> nats extra postgame. detwiler still looking for the elusive major league

johan santana, he has 14 decisions. he's 9-5 going into that game. 3.08 the santana e.r.a. now probably double what it was in the first five weeks of the season. 2-0 to coghlan. these marlins are 2 1/2 back of the phillies. and out to center field. elijah dukes just cruising over. the 1-2-3 you're hoping for at the bottom of the order. whaling josh willingham leads off for the nats. he's been hot lately and he's on a six-game hitting streak. 1-1 after three. our 737s fly to over 65 cities across the country every day. woman over p.a.: this is your final boarding call. all passengers... each with an average speed of 590 miles per hour.

a pretty good game as santana has been sculg scuffling. he has not pitched well lately but seems to turn it around today in a big win for the mets. >> jim: wigginton against wood leading off for the orioles in the eighth. the fastball down and in that wigginton couldn't reach. >> buck: amber talked about the activation of brad lidge. phillies got off to a 4-0 lead in the first inning with tampa bay. tampa bay has since come back and now they lead it 6-4. that national league east is going to be a real dogfight all the way down to the wire. no clear cut dominant team in that division. >> jim: wigginton pops it out behind second base. cody ross coming in. the center fielder takes charge. he has it for the out. one away in the oriole eighth inning. tim wood make his major league debut in relief. he's now gone 1 1/3 inning scoreless. >> buck: you don't think his heart is pounding a little bit right now? there's a guy who was a very late draft pick. no chance -- a chance to play. just kind of worked his way step by step through the minor league

santana didn't allow a homer for the first time in his last eight starts. runs that chris carp per gave up were the most he's allowed in any of his ten starts this season. >> twins and brewers. joe crede, connects for a solo home run. that's his 11th of the year. puts the twins up 4-0. and the brewers came back. bottom 6. prince fielder. solo shot. his 1th. and the brewers are down 4-3. top 7. span tripled, walked three times and scored three times. his first game back from the d.l., and the twins take it 6-4. scott baker gets the win. joe mauer went 2 for 5, and his average stands at .395. >> south africa against brazil in the semifinals of the con federations cup. winner takes on the united states in the finals. 42nd minute. kaka is denied with the diving save. 57th minute. the shot, and caesar with the diving save of his own. 81st minute. comes in to replace santos. 7 minutes later, aaron knees ramirez. so brazil gets the free kick. and the brazillians take advantage. takes the free kick and bends it past. and the substitution, 7 minutes earlier pays div

. >> rob: not a good day for santana. 82 pitches in 3 innings. aj burnett on the other side 6 inning, 4 hit, 8 punch outs. >> bob: evidently at yankees stadium you need to make them swing and miss. >> bob: he's adam dunn. this could be the defining play of the day for the nationals. bullpen about to take over. fastball for a strike. not the kind of first pitch you usually see from a lefty. the pitch selection or the location. >> rob: on the pitch track here, fastball that cuts back over the plate. the catcher had to set up outside. >> bob: nearly threw it away. navarro saves a run. this is supposed to be a cutter. >> rob: he tries to aim it and throws it in the dirt, navarro. probably instead of block it with his glove, tried to slide out to get his body behind it. >> bob: neither team doing much in this department. big hit of the day gonzalez back in the 4th. drive to left center that drove in two runs. 1-1 to dunn. he looks at a fastball right in there. adam has seen two center cut fastballs from a left hander here. i doubt if he'll see another

santana. he's not liking that. >> bob: johnson stays. two outs. 3:00 on a sunday afternoon. where else would you rather be at the ball park or here with us on masn. good crowd at tropicana field in st. petersburg. dukes 2-2 with a pair of doubles and two runs scored stepping in a place where he first played and not far from where he grew up. >> rob: elijah has nailed two shots off today. >> bob: evidently the problems elijah was having with the fans in left field last night, some of what they were saying was getting personal and family related. elijah didn't like it. fans have been harassing opposing ballplayers for 100 years, but there's a point where it goes too far. >> bob: he's done damage today. that's the best way to shut them down. swing and a miss, 2-1. in on dukes' hands. shields started this inning with 59 pitches. he's nearing 80. [cheering and applause] and a big breaking ball. elijah dukes strikes out. nationals strand their third runner of the day. 4 life 2 half way through. thro) - it's on. - oh, it's on, all right. - it's on. - totally on. 2 -- 4-2 half way t

3 1-2 games lead over the angels of anaheim as they beat detroit 2-1 in a very well pitched game, santana against verlander. i. >> gary: way outside. the yanks will move into first place in light of the red sox's loss. they have identical record, 32- 22, starting today. boston with a four-game win streak and yankees have been rained out. 3 balls 2 strikes count. toronto with a victory today. here is the 3-2 delivery and that will be fouled away again. >> buck: seattle and minnesota, a pitcher's duel there. in the 7th inning, it's 1-1. franciscolyliriano against felix hernandez. obviously this day was scheduled for number 1 starters. as cc sabathia was scheduled to go for the yankees. >> gary: teams on june 1 that are in first place since division play started, 66% of them go on to the post-season. 66% of teams in playoff positions. swung on and missed and so gonzalez comes in and gets a strikeout, retires the side in order. we go to the bottom of the 8th inning. 9-1. these are your widgets, they let you put whatever you're watching down here, while you check out local traffic, weather, ev

johan santana started. as joe girardi would say, it's the subway series, you're going to see strange things. we saw strange things tonight. mets made three errors in the second inning. the yankees score four in that inning. they have a 9-1 lead. bottom nine, c.c. sabathia, he went seven strong, one earned run, struck out eight. a-rod hit a home run. he passes mr. october, reggie jackson, for 11th on the all-time list. and brett gardner, a career high-five hits, including a home run, a triple. yankees up 9-1. if you're doing the math, 15-0, plus 9-1, 24-1 over the last -- well, it's pretty much almost two games. bottom of the ninth. yankees two outs away. highlights of this game when it goes final. >> the phillies are the ultimate paradox. they're a first place team that's dropped 10-12. they lead the n.l. in home runs, yet lead the majors in home runs allowed. they have the best road record in the majors, but can't win at home. and they have one of the best leadoff hitters in baseball, but they've benched j

guys go over there that work in something that you have to face those pitchers like sam bran know, santanayou see big league guys, galarraga. so i think it helps a lot of people. help a lot of players do good job and try oh do the best you can. >> gary: great baseball that. ball sliced in. it is a foul ball just missing. >> jim: what's it like to hit, you were having an incredible year. what's it like to hit .372? you couldn't have had too many slumps this year? >> no, i got this long early in the spring training, when i get to spring training, i try to concentrate more on the home plate, tried to hit the best pitch i can. so when i got sent down to triple-a, i say i want to work more in the play, want to work more in the defense. so when i get to triple-a, i try to hit the ball i want to hit the best i can. >> gary: markakis back, not going to have a play, it will be up and into the seats and a ground rule double. so a one out double puts the potential tying run on at second base. we are being joined by oscar salazar here on our wired wednesday. i don't ask this base your playing career i

santana another one of the guys, second year with the team. >> gary: runner goes. it is popped up in the infield. mora. he's got it. there's one away. church will go back to first base. on sunday, july 12th, you can come to oriole park for the debut of 2110 eutaw street. it's an area in the right center field bleachers that will be named for rick and adam's uniform numbers. for $21, fans will receive a ticket and receive a limited edition t-shirt for nick and adam. this will take place july 12. for awful you who are markakis and jones fans, we hope you'll get out sunday, july 12th. 888-848-bird for the reserve seats at 2110 eutaw street there in the bleacher seats out there. right there 2110. 0-1 count. guthrie, ball moving hard inside. daniel murphy, big sac fly in the fourth inning. one down, runner on at first base. a one ball, one strike count. guthrie up to 97 pitches. we are in the sixth inning. 1-1 delivery on the way. ground ball to short. andino to roberts. no runs, no hits, no errors and nobody left on base. we go to the bottom half of the sixth inning wi

. >> rob: especially against a good changeup lefty like this guy or johan santana.those pitchers will do better against righties than lefties because lefties take the changeup away from a left- handed pitcher. >> bob: a couple of interleague battles already significant today. the indians-cubs at wrigley are 7-7 in the 10th inning. -- inning. most of the other games just under way. milwaukee has a 3-0 lead over detroit and the braves from our division lead 1-0 at fenway park. 2-1 to zimmerman. off the end of the bat. that's why it's going to stay in the park. adam lind for the second out. >> rob: and to backup what you just said, brian tallet against right-handed hitters this year, they're batting .218 off him. he's only faced 76. about a third left-handed hitters, they're hitting .237 against him. they have a few more home runs, but with that changeup it keeps those righties off balance. >> bob: here is adam dunn. adam in the new york series, 4- 9 with three walks, a homer and two rbi's. big holmqvist is on. rolen -- big shift is on. scott rolen is playing up the mi

johan santana up in new york, we got him to throw 41 pitches in one inning. >> jim p.: you have a guy that's only walked 25 coming into the game almost through 87 innings, already three here in the first. >> rob: hour guy last night had trouble pitching on the road. his e.r.a. is enormous on the road. how do you teach young kids to get over the sold out crowd in somebody else's house. >> jim p.: i really never thought about that, to be quite honest. but then again i had the luxury of rooming with robin roberts when i was 19, having veteran pitchers that led the way. >> rob: we don't have a lot of veterans. our oldest guy in ouroation has 50-plus starts, he's 25 years old. >> bob: here's a guy, you got to go right at him, but he's only walked five times in the year. >> jim p.: watch this helicopter swing. >> jim h.: there's a strike, 2- 1. already bullpen activity. >> jim p.: the last thing dave trembley wants to do is relieve jeremy guthrie. but he's putting him in a pretty awkward position. where you have to get somebody up. >> jim h.: fastball is high, ball three. the two balls put

it's melvin mora, johan santana, it's you, it's me, it's rick. it's "o's xtra" right now.  >> it's an overcast night oriole park at camden yards. welcome in. "o's xtra" presented by at&t. your world delivered as the orioles nine-game home stand continues. the final series overt nine- game stand as interleague baseball continues at camden yards tonight. iments the orioles against the new york mets. welcome in. jim hunter and rick dempsey. orioles trying to make it three consecutive wins. bats broke out over the weekend. it's an amazing game baseball. you can go 11 consecutive games and score 19 runs and then score 19 runs combined over two games. orioles in those games, fabulous, reiss rick. 29 base hits, a .392 combined team batting average. look at the numbers with runners in scoring position and two of the hitters breaking out big, brian roberts and ty wigginton. i guess the theory about that is, if you think you have it figured out in baseball, wait till tomorrow. >> you got that right. you talk about hitt
