Jones helps Orioles complete sweep of Blue Jays
Published in The Saudi Gazette on 28 - 04 - 2012

Baltimore's Adam Jones led off the eighth inning with a tiebreaking homer as the Orioles beat the Toronto Blue Jays 5-2 Thursday to complete a three-game sweep with its fourth straight victory.
Jones ripped the first pitch from Casey Janssen (1-1) just above the glove of the leaping left fielder and into the first row.
Darren Oliver replaced Janssen after Jones' home run and allowed Matt Wieters' single before Chris Davis hit a two-run homer.
Darren O'Day (2-0) pitched two perfect innings in relief to take the win.
The Blue Jays have lost three straight and are 1-5 against the Orioles this season.
Mariners 5, Tigers 4: In Detroit, Chone Figgins hit a tiebreaking double in the seventh inning as Seattle completed a three-game sweep of Detroit.
Figgins' drive was misjudged by the right fielder and scored Brendan Ryan, who had reached on a two-out walk from Rick Porcello (1-2).
Former Tiger Charlie Furbush (1-1) got the win for the Mariners with a perfect inning of work.
Rays 4, Angels 3: In St. Petersburg, Florida, Brandon Allen hit a two-run homer in the ninth inning to lift Tampa Bay over Los Angeles.
Allen, recently acquired from Oakland, homered off closer Jordan Walden (0-1) after B.J. Upton had a one-out single.
Brandon Gomes (1-0) worked a 1-2-3 ninth, helping the Rays win their fifth straight.
Angels' big-money recruit Albert Pujols ended his career-worst 21 games without a hit but is still yet to hit a homer for his new team and, dating back to last season, he has gone 105 at-bats without a long shot, equalling the longest drought of his career.
Red Sox 10, White Sox 3: In Chicago, Kevin Youkilis hit a grand slam and Jarrod Saltalamacchia homered twice and Boston roughed up Chicago starter Philip Humber.
Youkilis hit his second career slam during a five-run third inning against Humber, who was making his first start since pitching a perfect game at Seattle on Saturday.
Humber (1-1) walked the leadoff batter in the first, snapping his streak of 29 straight batters retired. He was tagged for a career-worst nine runs in five innings.
The resurgent Red Sox have scored 34 runs in winning their past four games, a streak coming on the heels of a five-game skid.
Boston starter Felix Doubront (1-0) went six innings for his first big league win since 2010.
Royals 4, Indians 2: In Cleveland, Luis Mendoza pitched into the sixth inning and Kansas City's bullpen made a lead stand up in the win over Cleveland.
Mendoza (1-2) was pulled with the bases loaded and no outs in the sixth, but the Indians scored only one run from that situation.
Cleveland starter Josh Tomlin (1-2) allowed four runs in 4 2-3 innings.
