Seattle snaps Yankees' streak with 8-4 win
Ichiro Suzuki hit a two-run double and Chris Woodward added two RBIs as the Mariners handed CC Sabathia his second loss in 11 starts. Seattle won in the Bronx for the first time since Sept. 3, 2007, ending a 10-game road losing streak against the Yankees. Gutierrez had three hits and Branyan launched his 20th homer in the ninth inning, a two-run drive off right-hander Alfredo Aceves that made it 8-4. Miguel Batista pitched two hitless innings to win in relief of Jason Vargas, who lasted four innings with flu symptoms. Hideki Matsui homered and drove in three runs for New York, while Robinson Cano had three hits. Sabathia was pulled with the bases loaded and two outs in the sixth. He allowed six runs and 10 hits, striking out eight. White Sox 4, Royals 1 At Kansas City, Mark Buehrle was dominant into the ninth inning, allowing six hits and a run, as Chicago got its sixth straight victory. Buehrle started the ninth with a four-hit shutout but failed to get his first complete game since May 2, 2008, when Alberto Callaspo doubled and scored on David DeJesus' one-out double. Bobby Jenks got the last two outs for his 19th save in 21 chances. Jayson Nix hit a solo homer off Bruce Chen as the Royals lost their sixth in eight games. They have scored only three runs in their last three games, all losses. Chen went six-plus innings plus two batters and gave up two runs and five hits. He was making his second major league start since undergoing Tommy John surgery in late 2007. Angels 5, Orioles 2 At Anaheim, California, Bobby Abreu hit two home runs and John Lackey pitched eight solid innings for Los Angeles. The multihomer game was the 14th of Abreu's career, his first as an Angel. Both his shots were off Baltimore starter Jeremy Guthrie, who gave up nine hits in seven innings. Lackey, who had a loss and a no-decision in his last two starts, got the run support he needed this time. He struck out seven and gave up two hits while only walking one. Luke Scott homered in the seventh for the Orioles, who are 11-24 on the road. Abreu homered in the fourth and the Angels scored four in the fifth, including Abreu's sixth homer of the season. |
