Opening Day (Inning Five)

Top of the Fifth:
*Carl Crawford grounds out to first. Guthrie is settling back down.
*Pena line softly to Roberts.

[Lastings Milledge gets hit on the elbow to load the bases for the Nationals against the Phillies for Ryan Zimmerman.]

*Nice fastball on the outside corner to strike out BJ Upton. If Guthrie can hold the Rays down for a couple more innings, it'll give the O's bats a chance to get them back into the games.

Bottom of the Fifth:
[Zimmerman flies out to right to put the Nats on the baord. 2-1 Phillies.]

*Luis Hernandez grounds weakly to his defensive counterpart.
*Roberts has been on base both times, and gets ahead in the count 3-0. On 3-1, Roberts takes a close pitch for ball four. Both O's walks are by B-Rob.
*Roberts takes off again, but Mora fouls the ball off. Roberts runs again, and Mora fouls it off a second time. Another impressive looking drive falls short (and into the glove of LF Crawford).

[Austin Kearns with a two-run hit.]
[And Mark Teahan gets thrown out at home in the top of the 11th in Detroit. Good at-bat by Tony Pena - he's battling Denny Bautista well, and then singles to center to drive in the go-ahead run. 5-4 KC.]

*KAKES! Doesn't get to hit as Roberts is thrown out trying to steal second.
