When the season's on the line, the last guy you want to face is the league leader in saves (51, Jim Johnson).

The @orioles are 3 outs away from winning their 1st "winner-take-all" postseason game (lost them in 1971 WS, 1973 ALCS, 1979 WS)

Due up for the Rangers in the bottom of the 9th. 

Another run crosses the plate for the O's. Baltimore fans can feel a Yankees series on the horizon. 

Manny Being Money

20-year-old Manny Machado punches a single out into left field and the Orioles have a solid lead in the top of the 9th. 

Josh Hamilton saw 8 pitches in 4 at-bats and swung at six of them. They were all strikes. He never saw a ball.

The Orioles are trying to win a postseason winner-take-all game for the first time...they lost them in 1971, 1973, and 1979.

Due up for the Orioles. 

And quite an at-bat it was. Strike one, strike two, strike three, Josh Hamilton goes down on three Brian Matusz fastballs.

— Jeff Passan (@JeffPassan) October 6, 2012

Brian Matusz on to face Josh Hamilton. 

Hamilton is 0-for-9 with 5 strikeouts vs. Matusz #orioles

This O's-Rangers game is ripe for a timely infield fly.

— Pitchers Hit Eighth (@PitchersHit8th) October 6, 2012

J. J. Hardy boots a slow roller (ruled a hit) in the bottom of the 8th and the Rangers are in business with a man on first with one out.  

also, note that Ron Washington gave up his DH. Uehara is now slotted 8th in the batting order

#orioles trying to win first playoff game since Game 5 of 1997 ALCS, Oct. 13, 1997. Winning pitcher? Scott Kamieniecki

— Roch Kubatko (@masnRoch) October 6, 2012

Koji Uehara strikes out the side to end the top of the 8th inning. 

Nobody waming in #orioles bullpen. O'Day has thrown 14 pitches in 1 1/3 innings

— Roch Kubatko (@masnRoch) October 6, 2012

Koji Uehara just struck out Chris Davis. They were traded for each other last year.
