Yanks beat Blue Jays
Associated Press
Published in The Saudi Gazette on 03 - 04 - 2008

ming shut down the Toronto Blue Jays for seven innings, making Joe Girardi a winner in his rain-delayed debut as Yankees manager and sending New York to a record-setting 3-2 victory on Tuesday.
After wet weather postponed the festivities on Monday, New York beat Roy Halladay (0-1) to win its major league-best 11th consecutive home opener - the 84th and last at Yankee Stadium.
Melky Cabrera homered and made two outstanding catches in center field. Alex Rodriguez scored on Hideki Matsui's grounder in the seventh, breaking a 2-all tie.
Wang (1-0) got the win. Mariano Rivera worked a perfect ninth for the save.
Angels 9, Twins 1: At Minneapolis, Vladimir Guerrero and Garret Anderson combined for six hits and five RBIs, and Jon Garland breezed through his first start for Los Angeles.
Torii Hunter had another 0-for-4 night for the Angels against his old team, reaching base only when a ninth-inning pitch from Juan Rincon banged off his elbow.
Garland (1-0) went eight innings and gave up just six hits and one walk.
Boof Bonser (0-1) took the loss.
Red Sox 2, Athletics 1: At Oakland, California, Daisuke Matsuzaka struck out nine and didn't walk a batter, allowing two hits and one run over 6 2-3 innings as Boston spoiled Oakland's home opener.
Rangers 5, Mariners 4: At Seattle, Josh Hamilton hit a two-run homer in the ninth off All-Star closer J.J. Putz to lift Texas over Seattle.National League
New York's Pedro Martinez left early with a leg injury, and Robert Andino's first career home run with two outs in the 10th inning gave the Florida Marlins a 5-4 win over the Mets in the National League on Tuesday.
Already coming off two injury-plagued seasons, Martinez strained his left hamstring in the fourth inning, after just 57 pitches.
The Mets bullpen more than picked up the slack in Martinez's absence, until Andino - who had just six extra-base hits in his first 81 major league at-bats - homered to left field off Matt Wise (0-1), the sixth Mets pitcher.
Justin Miller (1-0) allowed Brian Schneider's third hit of the game in the 10th, but retired Endy Chavez and Jose Reyes on flyouts to strand him there.
Rockies 2, Cardinals 1: At St. Louis, third baseman Troy Glaus' throwing error allowed the tying run to score and Jayson Nix walked with the bases loaded in a two-run eighth as Colorado began the defense of its NL pennant.
Padres 2, Astros 1: At San Diego, Trevor Hoffman earned his 525th career save, pitching the ninth inning in San Diego's win over Houston.
Dodgers 3, Giants 2: At Los Angeles, Rafael Furcal scored from second on pinch hitter Delwyn Young's infield hit with two outs in the ninth to lift Los Angeles past San Francisco. __
