A-Rod hits No. 659
Published in The Saudi Gazette on 28 - 04 - 2015

NEW YORK — Alex Rodriguez hit his 659th home run to move within one of Willie Mays for fourth place on the career list as the New York Yankees took advantage of one mistake after another by the suddenly sloppy New York Mets in a 6-4 Inter-League win Sunday.
After falling behind early, the Yankees scored four times in the second inning off Jonathon Niese and took two of three in the first Subway Series of the season.
Rodriguez connected in the first inning at Yankee Stadium. He drove a 2-2 curve from Niese (2-1) to right-center, with the ball bouncing off the top of the fence for a solo shot.
It was the fifth homer of the season for A-Rod, who sat out last year while serving a drug suspension.
American League
Orioles 18, Red Sox 7: Delmon Young had three hits and five RBIs, Bud Norris pitched into the seventh inning and Baltimore battered Boston 18-7.
Chris Davis added three hits, including his fourth home run of the season and a two-run double, as the Orioles took the deciding contest of the three-game series.
Jimmy Paredes tripled, doubled and singled to drive in three runs as part of Baltimore's 20-hit attack.
Norris (1-2), who began the day with a 17.42 ERA, allowed three runs on seven hits over 6-2/3 innings.
Rays 5, Blue Jays 1: Chris Archer made his fourth consecutive start without giving up an earned run and Brandon Guyer hit a home run to lift Tampa Bay.
Archer struck out seven and gave up just two hits in seven innings to improve to 3-2. The Rays won their fifth straight game and are in first place in the American League East.
Tigers 8, Indians 6: Miguel Cabrera hit a two-run homer and J.D. Martinez added a two-run double while Detroit left-hander Kyle Lobstein stymied Cleveland on six hits over seven innings.
Lobstein (2-1) struggled through five innings in a win over Cleveland earlier this month but worked more from ahead in the count this time, walking two and striking out four, leaving with a 7-3 lead.
In other games it was: White Sox 3, Royals 2 (completion of game); White Sox 5, Royals 3; Astros 7, A's 6; Rangers 5, Angels 4 (11 innings); and Twins 4, Mariners 2 (11 innings).
National League
Cubs 5, Reds 2: Miguel Montero homered and Jake Arrieta pitched six solid innings, lifting Chicago to their best start since 2008.
Montero went 2-for-4 with a homer and two RBIs for the Cubs (10-7), who swept the abbreviated two-game series. Saturday's game was postponed due to rain.
Arrieta (3-1) survived a rough patch in the middle innings and allowed two earned runs on four hits in six innings. Todd Frazier hit his fifth homer for Cincinnati.
Marlins 6, Nationals 2: Adeiny Hechavarria drilled a three-run triple as Miami won its fifth straight game.
Hechavarria extended his hitting streak to nine games and had his second consecutive three-RBI game. Washington lost its fifth straight.
Phillies 5, Braves 4: Ryan Howard hit his second homer in as many games and third in his last five as Philadelphia beat Atlanta.
The Phillies scored a run in the fifth inning to break a 3-3 tie, and again in the seventh inning to get an insurance run.
Elsewhere it was: Padres 3, Dodgers 1; Pirates 8, Diamondbacks 0; Brewers 6, Cardinals 3. — Agencies
