lost six straight and tonight, the nats added to their division lead. on the hill tonight was stephen strasburg. one man on as he grounds into the 4-6-3 double play. the infield gets strasburg out of trouble. but how about strasburg at the plate? two outs in the second. one man on. he gets his 7th hit already of this season. set up runners at the corners and keep the inning alive for danny. and wouldn't you know it? he comes through big time. check this out, boom, a three- run shot to left. that's his fifth home run this season. it leads to a 4-0 nationals lead. look at the guy who catches the ball. definitely a keeper with that lady friend. hay, back to strasburg. runners on the corners, one out. redirected to desmond who starts the 6-3 double play. strasburg goes five innings, allows four earned runs. nats leading by one in the 6th. a shot to center. michael has a beat on it, but he has major issues. the ball bouncing off of his head. edwin jackson was a pinch hitter. winds up at third with a triple. the nationals take a 6-4 lead. bryce harper, i hope he didn't blink. a laser to left, not to mention the shot. that's out of there in a hurry. he sprints around for his third home run of the year. the nats go on to win 8-4. davey johnson and strasburg. >> you know, stras, for some reason didn't have command of his fastball or afraid to throw it over. i looked up there one time and he had more balls than strikes. you know, wasn't his day, i guess. he got away with it. he is usually picking us up and we pick him up today. >> that's what we call teamwork. at camden yards, the o's hosting the royals and chris davis, he has been heating up. this is his second home run in as many days in the second inning. it's 1-0 baltimore. we'll stay in the second. this is a scary moment. the fly ball here to left center field. jarred in center, alex in left field and the two of them collide. gordon makes the grab and gets his legs taken out. dye son is like, are you okay? he was more concerned with that ball. did you make the catch? he did, it was an out. take another look at this. gordon stayed in the game. it was dye son who had to be replaced. the power continues for the birds. j.j., did he get enough? oh yeah, gordon not going to catch that one. that's his 10th home run of the year. that was gone by the 8th. tied at 3. eric hits a single to left. that will place the game winner. kansas city comes back to win it 4-3. here is buck. >> not very productive, but we got some opportunities. you have to tip your hat. we knew paleno was going to be a pitching challenge. but i knew there was going to be a fine margin today and you know, william matched him and gave us a chance to win, which are the last outs. they are battling. >> the orioles did win today agreeing to a six-year deal with center fielder, adam jones. the largest deal in team history. don't go away, highlights between the celtics and sixers coming up.

[ zapping ] [ clang ] this is the next level of performance. the next level of innovation. the next rx. the all-new f sport. this is the pursuit of perfection. welcome back. the maryland men have done it again. their work far from over. they beat their biggest -- the terps who entered unseeded did pretty well. the terps trying to advance to the national championship game and they got off to a great start. kevin cooper to billy griffin, folks, that's teamwork. the terps on the board quickly, it's 1-0. and they would build on that quick start. from behind the duke net, it's the freshman with the nifty turn. we move now to the second half. it's more of the same for the terps. he takes care of the rest. maryland wins 16-10. they will play loyola of maryland for the title. everybody stepped up. i think everybody gave a little more focus, more effort, and i think our leader stepped up and our followers did a better job of following. we have one of those moments where we knew if we didn't do that, it would be done. too many guys that didn't want to see these men the wrong way. >> at fort worth texas. this is the two-man race between zach johnson. on the 17th, johnson down only one stroke. his approach looking good. lands on the green and touches his ball. i mean literally. look at this. this is as close as it's going to get. someone had to puck first. it would be johnson and the former master's champ. he would drop in the birdie put. a share of the lead, but refuses to let up. he curves it into the hole to match johnson. he goes into the lead by one stroke. that's all the time we have tonight. thanks for joining us this holiday weekend. i'll see you back tomorrow night. have a great night, everybody. thank you for watching sports xtra. does your phone give you all day battery life ? droid does. and does it launch apps by voice while learning your voice ? launch cab4me. droid does.
