Yankees win 4th straight
Published in The Saudi Gazette on 13 - 08 - 2012

TORONTO — Ivan Nova ended a five-start winless streak and Casey McGehee hit a three-run homer as the New York Yankees won their fourth straight game Saturday, beating the Toronto Blue Jays 5-2.
Derek Jeter had two hits, boosting his American League-leading total to 150 and joining Hank Aaron as the only players to record 17 straight seasons with at least 150 hits.
Rajai Davis had two hits and scored twice but it wasn't enough as slumping Toronto lost its fifth straight and for the 11th time in 13 games.
Nova (11-6) allowed two runs and five hits in 7 1-3 innings. He walked one and struck out 10. Rafael Soriano pitched the ninth for his 28th save in 30 chances.
Indians 5, Red Sox 2: At Cleveland, Brent Lillibridge homered, drove in two runs and scored on a squeeze bunt to back Zack McAllister's strong pitching as Cleveland beat Boston.
Lillibridge, acquired on July 24 from Boston, tied a career high with three hits. He hit his first homer in nearly a year and had an RBI single off Franklin Morales (3-2).
McAllister (5-4) allowed three hits, including a two-run double by Adrian Gonzalez, in a career-high eight innings.
Boston has lost eight of 11.
All three hits allowed by McAllister were doubles. The right-hander struck out four without issuing a walk.
Michael Brantley's sacrifice fly broke a 2-2 tie in the sixth.
Rays 4, Twins 2: At Minneapolis, B.J. Upton hit two home runs Matt Joyce also homered, and David Price earned his 15th victory as Tampa Bay stretched its winning streak to five by topping Minnesota.
Ben Zobrist went 3-for-4 for the Rays, who have won 10 of 13 and kept pace in the AL East and AL wild card races. Tampa Bay is on its longest winning streak since a six-game run from April 29-May 4.
Price (15-4) held the Twins to two runs and seven hits in seven innings. He has worked at least seven innings in 10 consecutive starts.
Brian Dozier homered, and Justin Morneau had two hits for the Twins.
Price, who moved into a share of the major league lead in victories with Jared Weaver of the Los Angeles Angels and R.A. Dickey of the New York Mets, hasn't lost since June 13. He is 7-0 with a 2.10 ERA in that span.
Texas 2, Detroit 1: Rookie Mike Olt's pinch-hit RBI single with two outs in the bottom of the ninth inning scored Nelson Cruz with the winning run in Texas' victory over Detroit.
Olt drove a 2-2 pitch from Phil Coke past diving third baseman Miguel Cabrera and into left field.
Cruz and Michael Young each drew four-pitch walks from Brayan Villarreal (3-3). Coke relieved and got two outs before Olt delivered the winning hit. The Rangers remained 5 1-2 games ahead of Oakland in the AL West.
Royals 7, Orioles 3: Alex Gordon hit two of Kansas City's four home runs, Luis Mendoza took a shutout into the seventh inning, and the Royals beat Baltimore after the start of the game was delayed by rain for more than three hours.
Athletics 9, White Sox 7: Jonny Gomes homered to tie the game, and Brandon Inge hit a go-ahead single as Oakland scored twice in the eighth inning and beat the Chicago White Sox.
Mariners 7, Angels 4: Hisashi Iwakuma took a four-hitter into the eighth inning, John Jaso homered, and Seattle ended a five-game skid with a victory over the Los Angeles Angels. — Agencies
