doubles and is unhappy. in comes chris ray. he walked with bases loaded to try to force up the play. walks in a couple of place. 8-6. they will add another play. i think part of it is the bullpen is not pitching well. they have been overused when they have a chance. what's going on? just not good. i don't think that's the case. they're overused, not going deep enough and against one of the better offenses in the american league, fifth in runs, best in average, they can run you out of the bull parke and although the orioles could have pitched better, they put a lot of pressure on you. >> >> jim h: you're beginning to see the overuse. even albers, who we showed you in the last 12 appearances, light out. he got out of the inning although he allowed an inherited runner to score. it was decide all of a sudden his command left him. >> jim p: he had to pitch two innings lasting night. that's not how you want to use him. a significant lead. 4-40 for rich hill. he was a little bit letter but he made enough bad pitches to let the angels get back to tie it. the bullpen gave it up and they lose. >> jim h: the angels get 3 out of 4. the orioles head to seattle where they will find the team with the best pitching in the american league, at least base on team e.r.a., as the birds look to bounce back. let's head back to the studios. >> thank you. they are 3-10 on sundays. time to look at the at t player of the game. matt wieters, 53% of the vote. brian robert with 37%. guerrero with 10%. wieters, 3 for 3. a home run in the 3rd. roberts had the solo home run to begin game, a two-run double. 37% of the votes. orioles lose 9-6. 12-26 on the road this season. ♪ ?

>> i don't know. just overall. i've gotten better, a limit more discipline. i'm still go out and swing and a little more discipline. it has gotten better. >> adam jones talking with amber, batting at .3089 with 12 home runs and 46 rbi and 52 run scores. 17 doubles. six stolen bases. a man lows year for jones. >> you heard he talked about discipline and that show you more than anything else, the discipline he has shown, adjusting to the breaking ball halfway through the season. he start to wait on the ball better and take it to right field. a lot of base hits and didn't try to overmuscle ball because the power has come so far this season. he has 12. we have not gotten to the all- star break yet. i think the second half of the season, she going to adjust some more the way they are pitching more. they try to pitch him on his hands, 40 how what they do to power hitters and guys who show the extension they can hit out of the ballpark. they're beginning to pitch him off the plate a lot more and try to get him down and away and he is making good adjustments. he has done a great job and has done through a spell not getting big hit but still getting some hits. now he is league up again, three hits last night, two today. he is on his way. >> congratulations to adam jones. a terrific person also. roberts had difficulty the night before with a ball that dropped between he and markakis but turned things around, starting off with a solo home run. your impressions of roberts today? >> this is what we expect from roberts. he has been so streaky so far this year. those 20-30 at beats where he will be hot and you saw him 11 for 22 in one stretch and 9 for 25 and then 1 for 11 -- he seems to be back on track again last night, two doubles. today, a home run in his first at-bat. let watch this shot. look where it goes, almost straightaway center field. the little guy has serious possible. a little guy with a big man swing and later in the ball game goes to right center field. a double. two rbis. at this point he has two hits, two extra base hits and three rbi and he has done a great job in the leadoff spot to end the series. >> a streaky hitter. no doubt from the at the time of june and 3rd of july. no doubles. the last two games, 4 for 9 with a home run. four rbi and three doubles to roberts, when he does welt the orioles go well although they lost die 9-6. rich hill is another story. 5 1/3. he walks four. ten base runners combined. over the 92 pitch effort his e.r.a. is 7.5. >> this is the best curveball i have seen but you can't just throw a curveball. watch this get abreu. that is what makes him so tough. abreu cannot hang in on this pitch. we only get the chance to see with two strikes but later in the ball game, audrey brey you gets four curveballs in a row and a hitter as good as he is. a couple of big runs score and this is where rich hill started to lose it out on the mound. you got -- you can't go up against guerrero and throw fastballs down the middle of the plate, as you see this one right here because he can power the ball out of anybody. best bat ball hitter in baseball -- what will he do with a ball down the middle of the plate? he shored exactly what he can do. >> things caught up at the beginning -- >> they did. and richie, just one pitch away from being an outstanding pitcher. really has a chance to win anywhere from 14 and 20 ballgames. it's coming up with something that will move away from the right-hand hitter. it will give him the opportunity to get them off of looking. when the curveball doesn't come over, they move fastball. it's not that tough to hit because it's straight and you will see when bunch seven pitches and moves a little bit how easy it is. >> interesting. when we come back, the player and prospect profile from the minors. the story is next when we continue after the orioles loss to the angels 9-6. 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. almost as fast as you. nothing's gonna hold you down. starting august 16th, fly southwest airlines from bwi airport to boston logan for just $49 one-way. bags fly free on southwest so our low fares stay low. grab your bag. it's on. - ( ding ) - book now at southwest.com. ah, just installed fios in the whole building. now everyone has the fastest upload speeds. and we're giving them a mini netbook. well, i'm sticking with cable. so's ted.

doubles and three stolen bases. that's the prospect profile today. time for the top five place of the week this week in orioles baseball. >> there's the tapper. play will have to be at first -- oh, a play at second base! he was falling down and wasn't have a chance to go to first so jim johnson let it rip to second base. that's a big hit. going to wave him home. here's pie's throw to the plate and they got him! felix pie gets it in to wieters! 2-1 delivery to the found. lets that one go on purpose. oh, what a play. what a play by robert andino! two down. markakis. swings. in the air. left center field. nobody will get that one! here's the throw! the slide -- third base! safe! the oriole have the lead! deep center field. jones is back and at the wall, he got it! adam jones got it! up and over the wall at home and back in! >> top five plays of the week this past week in orioles baseball. it was an interesting week. birds lose to the angels 9-6 and we will go back to anaheim and listen in to dave trembley's press conference. >> bottom of the lineup hurt us, the walk to abreu was the key walk in game. the walk to abreu. left against left and, you know, i hadn't accounted on walking him. that's like giving them extra outs. you know, our guys gave everything they had. there was some great at-bats and very good defense. you score six runs, you think you're gonna win. their defense -- you know, the play hunter made in the 8th, that's a big play. the ball markakis hits going down the left field line, a tremendous play. it just didn't happen. it just didn't happen. you know, we had leads three or four different time in the game. chris ray trying to put the spot -- tough spot for him. can't hide everybody in the bullpen. >> what happens is the uses of the bullpen is the reflection of the starters. we talked before the game, when your starters are up in pitches and not holding leads and you have to continually go to the bullpen night after night after night, it makes it tough on everybody. it makes it tough. it's hard to just get situations where, you know, maybe the game is not on the line. the game has been on the line all the time. every out you get or don't get, when you're ahead, with two outs, guys that are hitting hit 8 or 9 or come out of the bullpen has a big effect on the outcome of the game. > [ indistinct ] >> that's -- that's difficult. but, you know, i mean, i don't think if we can -- you know, we stretched sundays out pretty good and worked him and had some great at-bats and seemed like we didn't get enough outs. guys hurt. 0-2 base hits hurt. you know, it's -- you know, it has an effect. >> dave trembley brought to you by verizon wireless. >> pedroia off marl. his third of the season. boston leads 1-0 in the 1st inning. bottom of the 7th, 5-4. kotsay with a bases-loaded single to right field. ortiz and bay scores. 7-4. three solo home runs to beat seattle 8-4. ortiz4. as for the yankees and blue jays, 8-4 over. teixeira and posada scores. 8-7 at this point. look to the bottom of the 5th inning, toronto with the 8-7 lead. jetter to right field off b.j. ryan. jeter's tenth. yankees take a 9-8 lead and take care of the bluejays. yankees' third win in a row. one game back of the red sox. posada a two-run single and rbi double. the minnesota twins beat the detroit tigers 6-2. minnesota has six runs. morneau, his 21st home run. two back of the detroit tigers. inge, a two-run homer for the losing tigers. when we come back, a preview of the next game as the orioles lose to taken gels 9-6. at pnc, it's doing what most bits our customers. whether that's building more certified green buildings than anyone on earth. creating online banking tools for the next generation. or making a 10 year, $100 million investment in kids. it's how we've always done business. and will for a very long time to come. pnc. leading the way. is my favorite because it has so much flavor. so i wanted to design a glass that would enhance the taste of boston lager. we did a laser etch on the bottom. it releases the hops aromas this bulb is for collecting aromas. there's a little ridge on the inside. and that allows you to sense the hops as it enters your mouth. the way this hits your tongue, you really get the full flavor out of sam adams lager. having a boston lager in this glass was like tasting a boston lager for the first time again. >> welcome back to the studio. 9-6. angels win. wieters hit his third home run of the season >> jim p: first three-hit game of his career, too and put together a nice little swing. and showed everybody he can hit some pretty tough pitches as he starts off the ball game with a single to right center field and shows not trying to overpull the ball and one thing you note about watching him all the time. matt wieters has the big swing to put the orioles up 6-5. good to see that. it's amazing he hasn't pulled one of his home runs yet. he hit everything the opposite way. later on when the orioles need a big hit, down the third base line, should have gone for a triple and hits the bag. figgins hustles it down but wieters, three big hits for the day. that's a confidence builder. >> upped the average to ..277. he went 3 for 3 today. he hit .277 after sending to the major leagues. he is coming on more guerrero is an interesting story. he hit a big home run. today, another big home run. two of the four against the orioles. >> he struggled in his part of the career more than before and the orioles had him on the road for the first two games but last night he gets ahold of this and just look at this shot. i mean, it's above two bullpens -- not one but two bullpens and half way up the grand strand from there. you can't let a guy like this get confidence and expect to throw him strikes by him a little bitty shot makes it out of the center field wall barely but it hurt the orioles to tie the game 5-5 and hurt that young man right there, rich hill. vladimir guerrero starting to heat up again. he will swing outside the strike zone. why don't we stay there? no, throw him strikes and that's what you get. >> how about a career average, .342 and 19 home runs, 62 rbis. new york the orioles will head to seattle -- now, the oriole will head to seattle. when the orioles revisit seattle for the second time this season, i will be brad bergesen on the mound and he pitched pretty well. >> by far the best pitcher. look at the movement on if fastball. the best pitch in baseball and he has it right there. when he goes to a slider, he just freezes hitters at this point right here. he gains so much more confidence every single time out. he goes deep in ball games and saves the bullpen. he is everything that you expect out of a young man coming out of the minor league with a reputation this guy has. 16-7 last year with on the 33 walks. he will be facing washburn and washburn, you know, pretty tough outing for him against the orioles. the last time he faced him, he loses 1-0 ballgame but he resurrected his career so far this year. he won his first three ball games of the season with seattle and has not won a game until his last outing in almost two months so it's gonna be heads-up knock-out battle between these guys pitching hot >> jim p: bergesen against washburn and coverage late. you know, it will be 10:00 game for the first two nights and last two west coast game are late for the entire is season with bergesen iting. an earned run average in the 3s. it's tough for the orioles to win on the road no matter where they play. >> they played with energy today. it didn't work out. you can't get the hitting and the timely pitching and defense to work together and sometimes they're very, very flat when they play on the road. you see that more on the road than they do at home. they seem to have a lot of energy when they come back to camden and shows up -- a lot of back-to-back-to-back hits. on the road it doesn't happen the same way. >> orioles scored early in the game and led 4-0 and wound up losing 9-6 despite roberts' solo home run two-run home run. they got a couple of bases- loaded walks and beat the orioles 9-6. rick and i will return beginning at 89:30 when the orioles begin the first of three in seattle. @@ epic finalh one for roddick. federer finally breaks him. it will be tough to swallow. >> absolutely gut wrenching defeat. fed last year gut wrenching defeat but he had five wimbledons. andy hasn't won now since 2003. i tell you, he will not forget that back hand volley 6-5 in the tie breaker. >> what made the difference today for fedderer? >> federer being there time and time again. played the big points well. served andy a big amount of trouble. andy was talking there about roger federer. spare a thought for andy roddick. that was a great performance. last 21 grand slam events have been won by europeans. we need to change that. >> fed kooms in there five wins on the track. is he the favorite there? >> yes. i hope the knees are better for mr. nadal. >> will it be 16, 17, 18, 20 sfl who knows how many. but the greats there to watch federer reach 15 today at wimbledon. unforgettable final.oming up tha chance to pull closer or go even with the red sox in the al east. step one, take care off tron. tron fop. lance armstrong's tour defrance come back. the 37-year-old trying to keep pace with the mostly young pack. tiger wood nos stranger to drama. it came down to the wire at the at&t national. we'll show you how he fared. ♪ ( "big mac chant" plays ) ♪ ( "big mac

together for the first time in any round. ever. to the tth. anthony kim looked a little nervous. two back at 10 under. woods opens the door on the 11th hole. this has been a mess for him all weekend long. he wipes this right. gonna end up in the hazard. they found it. he'll take an unplayable lie. that would lead to a bogey. hazard. don't have to play. can take a one stroke penalty. hit it there and it would be a bogey. hunter mahan. he shot a 30 on his second 9. 62 for the day. he's the co-leader with woods. tied for most of the second nine until that. a long birdie on 16. that puts him in the lead. and from there, no problem. tiger on the tee. this time a quadruple amputee. takes a trip down the fair way on 18. tiger had a birdie putt. missed it. taps in for par. wins his own

play again until the open championship. again, mahan 62 ties a course record. kim began the record with a 62. kim finishing third by himself. price molder finishes 4th and makes enough money to qualify for the open championship. let's go back to the federer/woods connection. so, the second time, sixth time overall woods wins a tournament. same day that federer announced a grand slam championship. back on june 7 federer captured his 14th grand slam at that time french open. on the same day, tiger won jack nicklaus' memorial. these two combined to win 29 major titles. federer leads 15-14. woods can tie him in a couple of weeks at the open championship. some would argue order has been restored in the al east. a year ago at this juncture, the red sox and yankees were chasing the surprising rays, who had a considerable lead. fast forward to today. the two traditional division power houses are jockeying for position. week before the all-star break, yankees with a chance to

billingsly. and jonathan broxton. they tied the game at 6-6. now they're in the top of the tenth. oh, by the way, so far no manny ramirez. as this goes to extra innings, perhaps he could see a pinch

three game sweep to the giants. randy johnson swinging. oh, look at that. injures his pitching shoulder swinging the bat. another reason nl should implement the dh. he would stay in the game from

it's unbelievable. it just, i guess i accept it. my heart just sinks deeper and deeper into accepting the reality behind this. something you don't want to believe. comes the reality that it's real. and you think about -- i think about all of the times that i have been around steve, over the eight years that i played on the field, off the field. our super bowl run. the days when he wasn't having a great year and he was being scrutinized in the media, to being the co-mvp and -- it was just a bond that we had because we -- all we had was us coming there. we didn't know what to expect. we certainly wanted to accept a lot of it. and, you know, he was the heart and soul of this team. he was the tough, tough guy. he took all hits. he played with pain. went out there limping, one arm,
