Los Angeles pitcher Hiroki Kuroda dominated for 8 2-3 innings, steering the majors-leading Dodgers to a 5-2 win over the Chicago White Sox in interleague play on Tuesday. Kuroda allowed only a second-inning solo homer and a single until there were two outs in the ninth. Kuroda gave up two more hits before being replaced on the mound and closer Jonathan Broxton got the final out. Kuroda struck out nine of the light-hitting White Sox, who are last in the American League with 119 runs in home games this season. The Dodgers went ahead in the first and James Loney's two-run homer made it 3-0 in the second. Cardinals 3, Mets 0: In New York, Joel Pineiro pitched a career-best two-hitter for St.Louis, shutting out New York. Pineiro only got one strikeout but an astounding 22 outs on the ground. It was his fifth career shutout and 11th complete game, and ended a run of five losing starts. Albert Pujols smacked a two-run single and Pineiro matched the Mets at the plate by himself. He doubled and scored in the third inning, then singled in the fourth. Phillies 10, Rays 1: In St. Petersburg, Florida, Philadelphia routed Tampa Bay in the first meeting between the teams since last year's World Series. Chase Utley homered and drove in four runs for the Phillies. He had a two-run double in the first inning and added his 16th homer in the fourth, a two-run shot that made it 10-0. Tampa Bay scored on Jason Bartlett's fourth-inning single that extended the shortstop's career-best hitting streak to 17 games – one shy of the franchise record. Philadelphia pitcher Jamie Moyer, 46, earned career win No. 251, moving him into a tie with Hall of Famer Bob Gibson for 43rd on the all-time list. Angels 4, Rockies 3: In Anaheim, California, Los Angeles edged Colorado, inflicting only the second loss on the Rockies in the past 19 games. Bobby Abreu drove in the tying and go-ahead runs with a bases-loaded single in the eighth inning after Colorado third baseman Ian Stewart messed up two bunt plays. Defeat also ended Colorado's club-record nine wins in a row on the road. The Rockies led 3-2 into the eighth, but Stewart's gaffes allowed the Angels to load the bases and Abreu singled to right field. Tigers 5, Cubs 4: In Detroit, pinch-hitter Ryan Raburn hit a two-run homer in the ninth inning, lifting Detroit to a seesaw win over Chicago.
