on him, 2 wnone ye. that almost caught him and di back foot. buck: he had a rough night with the feet, fouled a ball off his left foot and gets hit in the back foot with this breakican't get it out of the ay in time. catches him right on the in step. >> gary: he will go down and receive a lot of sympathy from the first base coach. that's davidson out there. pating him on the back and laughing. bobby crosby, no runs, no hits,

no error. we completed 7 in oakland. big 1st inning still holding up, 9-1. 

. >> gary: that will be it f the starter as dallas braden comes out of the ballgame. did a heck of a job. 7 strikeouts. now, edgar gonzalez will be on. >> buck: edgar gonzalez spent his entire career with the arizona diamondbacks. he was signed to a minor league

deal by the oakland a's on february 9th this year. he is a guy that has started and relieved over his career prior to this season, he had 35 starts in 80 major league appearances. >> gary: so gonzalez will face matt wieters and the pitch is in there for a strike. wieters singled and struck out. a's bullpen, unsettled at best. they don't have consistency out there he said that the bullpen right now does not have roles. i'm just taking the best guy on a given day and putting him where i need him. 1-1 delivery on the way and that will be outside. 1 ball, 22 balls 1 strike count. e.r.a., pretty good, ranked

6th. that is stake r taken for a strike i thri. is no reason to establish roles until you get some guys that have pitched consistently and the other guys, i guess andrew bailey, the big young closer out of the bullpen has the most definitive role. centerfield, davis to get it. one away. >> gary: time to text in your vote. here are the candidates, starting pitch e dallas braden, matt holliday has had a three- rbi homerun and jack cust. text in your vote, a, b, or c to 51862. gonzalez with one away shatters the back on that one and it is a foul ball. andino at the plate for the

o's. spectacular night on the plays as buck showed you there on the field at shortstop. >> this is his best defensive night for sure. he made two very fine double plays, starting them with brian roberts. >> gary: he has hit into a double play in the 5th inning and popped out. jeremy guthrie started. he gave up 6 runs, 7 hits in just 2/3 inning, the shortest outing of his career. oriole bullpen the other three runs charged to mark hendrickson came on a three-run homerun by matt holliday. mark hendrickson came on, 3 1/3 innings, gave up three runs. castillo came on last inning, hit a batter. gonzalez on for the starter braden. that pitch misses low. 2-2 on andino. braden get the win, he will

improve the mark to 4-1 against the oriole, e.r.a. 1.33 against the o's, wouldn't be hurt. 2-2 delivery. grounded to second base. kennedy. 2 down. >> buck: you can certainly see by the start of braden tonight how the a's are encouraged by the young pitching. he is only 25 years old and already characterized as a leader of the staff. not only on the mound but his leadership skills, the way he works. here is brian roberts, it-for- 3, two singles. he will take a pitch inside for a ball. tampa bay-new york, the yankees never got started.

rain on the east coast. red sox took a loss. texas almost shut them out late in the ballgame before boston got a run. texas beat them 5-1. toronto got a nice win 9-3 over kansas city. fouled away. orioles started 8 games out. >> buck: texas will maintain their 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, even your news up there. i've got a news flash you're out of mayo. how did you get in here? door was open. you'd have tons of ways for you to search content: by actor, director, any word at all. what about chicken? chicken's fine. any word. no i mean do you have any chicken? i want to eat some chicken. and one of the coolest things you can do with fios... ...is stream your music and your photos from your computer to your tv. slideshows look and sound better than ever. and now is the best time to upgrade to fios all the time. want to tell the why? i do not. because when you call the verizon center for customers with disabilities at 800-974-6006 tty/v today you can get all three services for the price of two: just... i will now return you to your program

and unfortunately for some of you, to cable. yeah! wait, what? . >> gary: on the mound, brian bass will come out of the bullpen. castillo pitched an inning and now brian bass will take his turn. >> buck: brian bass has been throwing very well with a lot

of confidence. he had a 1.55 e.r.a. in his last four games. he has really kind of become an important cog in this bullpen. for the season, this is his 17th appearance. >> gary: so brian bass comes out to work here as we go to the bottom half of the 8th inning. kurt suzuki leading it off. he doubled and scored 1-for-3 in the game. everybody in the line-up contributing for oakland in this ballgame. 9 runs, 10 hits an error for the a's. 1 run, 5 hits and no error for the orioles. castillo worked an inning, struck out one, hit a batter. fifth pitcher to be used. 1-1. bare hand back in there. andino, the 360 and suzuki is retired. one down. on cat day, june 13th, the

first 10,000 fans 18 and under -- on saturday, june 13th, the first10,000 fans. aaron cunningham. cunningham a two-rbi single in the 1st in, 1-for-3 the ballgame. now has a five-game hit streak going. hitting .158. >> buck: we mentioned the balance of the attack. everybody in the a's line-up either scored a run or got a hit. >> gary: that does not happen often. >> buck: not too often. they have to score enough runs to spread it out. >> gary: 2-0 count. and that will miss down low. the count will go to 3-0. they

really had to shuffle the line- up because of the d l. 3-0 delivery and a strike taken. right fielder, chavez out, ellis second base man out, garciaparra brought over to play first base, out. bullpen out. cust bad back. chopper to short again, andino, this is the shortstop night. >> buck: and he had to lay back and wait on that extra hop and he threw high to first base. watch how he waits back, gets back on that back foot, a little extra time, too much time. he air mails it. that's an error on the shortstop. >> gary: the humbling game of

baseball. at one point when you think, you are doing good. the game will just grab you and bite you. >> buck: sure does. it evens out in a heartbeat. >> gary: error charged and the runner on, one away. jack hannahan, the third baseman up. he has singled and grounded out. error charged to the orioles. that will bounce away as the runner will go to second. wild pitch. >> buck: that's unfortunate. it eliminates the possibility of a double play. you can see wieters is in pretty good shape but then he gets his body side ways and that breaking ballhit the dirt and kicks away, hit his chest protector. >> gary: hannahan up the

middle. andino again charging. he makes the throw to get the out. cunningham will move to third base and there are now two down. the number 9 hitter, rajai davis coming up, single and an rbi. he is 1-for-3 in the ballgame. 3-game hit streak. hitting has picked up here. bass this there for a strike. runner at third, two down. bass with the 0-1 delivery. chopper to short. you have to hustle. and just gets him. and that will do it. no runs, no hits, an error and a base runner left on at third.

the orioles with three outs to work with. 

. >> gary:  orioles baseball masn has been brought to you by southwest airlines. book your next trip on southwest.com. great to have you with us here in oakland for the opener of this three-game set. gary thorn, buck martinez and

amber theoharis. the 38-year-old veteran, russ springer started his career in 1989 with the yankees. his 25th appearance of the season he has given up some hit and this is what bob geren was talking about. felix pie got all of it. it will be hauled in. davis got to it. the world's most refresh feeling. >> buck: in the 1st inning, jack cust was hitting with two aboard, nobody out. he squares up on that high change-up from jeremy guthrie, drills it to the wall in centerfield over the wall, his 9th homerun of the season. >> gary: one away in the 9th inning. no lan reimold will get his first at-bat. did not start in the ballgame. he came on for nick markakis in right. strike taken. after the ballgame got out of hand. orioles did not get on the

board until scott hit a homerun in the 7th. with two down. his 13th of the year. that is the only extra base hit that the orioles have in the ballgame and the only runner who passed second tonight. the o's stranded just 2, 1 in the 1st and 1 in the 2nd. >> buck: of this scored a total of 6 runs on this trip. they were fortunate to win the first game 1-0. >> gary: the bats have just disappeared. 9 runs in 6 games and the orioles don't score anymore in this one. one down in the 9th inning. springer, 1-2 delivery. reimold will fight it off. a foul ball. orioles, this will be their third loss in a row and oakland will have a season high 4-game

win streak with a victory in this ballgame. guthrie would go to 4-5. dallas braden would go to 5-5 on the year, 4-1 lifetime again the orioles. 1 ball, 2 strikes count. reimold fouls that one right straight back. we will be right back here with you tomorrow, earlier start for tomorrow's game. berken versus cahill. 9 0-0 game coverage. 8 3-0 eastern. o's extra. 8:30 eastern, o's extra. >> they have a concert after the ballgame so they are starting an hour earlier. swung on and missed. springer gets the strikeout. let's update you on the voting for the at&t player of the game. braden, the starter, could be

the winner. holliday the leader. cust. springer trying to wrap this up. aubrey huff stands in. 0-for-3. springer with pretty good heat. gets a swinging strike. aubrey at .264, 8 homeruns, 39 rbis. designated hit another this game. getting wigginton a chance at 1st. orioles never really got a chance to get going in the ballgame. 6 runs on 7 hits for oakland in the 1st. that was pretty much it. braden is an oriole killer and he did the rest. huff takes that one to right field. cunningham, warning track. this game is in the books. and the a's come away with a

dominating 9-1 win here in game 1. 9-10-1 for oakland. 1-5-1 for the o's there is your final. a's 9, orioles 1.

. >> jim: hi, of course, jim hunter with rick dempsey getting ready for oriole's post game. unfortunately, the story continues. this team does not hit. >> rick: that's right. this is another game where the orioles have less than six hits and one game. brian roberts with two hits tonight of the 5 with the amounts that they have. we are coming right back with o's extra post game. right now we go back to oakland to rejoin gary and buck. >> gary: thank you, guys. we will get it right back to you as it it will be a win.

game 2, jason berken against trevor cahill. our coverage begins a half hour earlier. for buc martinez, amber theoharis, and the rest of our crew, thank you. braden the winner, 5-5 and guthrie the loser, 4-5. o's xtra right now. >> jim: hi, of course, welcome back in t is o's xtra presented by verizon. you talk about the orioles and what has become a lethargic offense on this west coast road trip now. in four games, the orioles are 1-3, have scored a total of six

runs oakland scored six runs in the bottom of the 1st against jeremy guthrie. that's the kind of week it has been into into they don't seem to be putting things back to back. can't say much. might be their first little slump like that. luke scott is the only guy in the middle of the order to hit the ball out of the ballpark but he has nobody on base in front of him so it's very, very tough for the orioles to score runs right now now. >> gary: now. >> rick: taking a look at the game now. >> jim: cust, goes deep. this one kept going. >> rick: almost a great catch by adam jones in centerfield. can you see what a powerful swing. jack cust used to be an oriole at one point. boy, does he produce. >> jim: 5th inning against hendrickson, matt holliday, two men on, he goes deep almost to the same spot into same shot. ball does not carry here as

well if oakland but you would never have thought that by the way you saw tonight. >> jim: and here is the orioles' run. wouldn't you know it, another homerun for luke scott. he goes deep. that avoided the shutout for the orioles. >> rick: 13 homerun of the season. luke scott now has 8 homeruns in his last 9 games. >> jim: since coming off the disabled list, a week ago, 8 homeruns for luke scott. guthrie just goes 2/3 inning. he takes the loss and the orioles held to just one run on five hits. orioles have now lost three of four games on this road trip. let's head back to oakland now and rejoin gary thorn and buck mart martinez. >> gary: there are pitchers in major league baseball that like to see other teams and teams that would rather not see them.

dallas braden is one of those pitchers that the oriole was like to miss. aubrey huff in the 1st inning. change-up was very good. got matt witters, jones. he ties a career high. only the luke scott homerun the only run he allowd in 7 innings 4 of his 11 career wins have come at the hands of the orioles. got a lot of confidence pitching against the orioles line-up. >> jim: for the orioles, obviously, a disaster for jeremy guthrie. he could not get the pills where he wanted him to be. and this oakland team needed an offensive burst to feel good about themselves. they got it in the 1st inning. >. >> buck: i don't care where you play. it's difficult to come back after falling six runs in the 1st inning. they got some good hitters. obviously matt holliday, jack cust, powerful hitters in this

line-up but they got off to a slow start for oakland. >> gary: the orioles now have to find a way to adjust. the orioles can hit. they go into a slump. you know that does not happen to an entire line-up all at once and that's what happened right now. you watch the at-bats of people like nick markakis in particular, really pressing because they feel the need to maybe get that three-run homerun with nobody on kind of thing. it looks like that's going on in the line-up. >> sure it. they get away from their patient approach and that's what worked for them. you see nick markakis and brian roberts all feel like they have the responsibility to help the pitching staff out. they have not been able to get the pitching and hitting on the same page. lately, it's been a challenge to score runs. they only one one game on this road trip and that was 1-0 victory in seattle. >> gary: that will do it here our new grand dad. >> buck: very happy. >> gary: squeal be on the phone instantaneously as we get

off the air. >> jim: gary, congratulations to you, buck and arlene, grandparents for the first time. wonderful news coming from the west coast. the orioles drop it by the final of 9-1. they now have dropped three in are a row after winning the first game of the series against the mariners. here is the vote. matt holliday -- how does he get the votes over dallas braden? but nonetheless, you voted for him. >> when we come back, we'll check on the possible replace. for cesar izturis who was out of the line-up, an appendectomy on the west coast. ?
