AL: Colon confounds old team



By The Associated Press

CHICAGO - Bartolo Colon pitched a nine-hitter to beat his old team in his first home start for the White Sox as Chicago won for the 10th time in 13 games, beating the Cleveland Indians 5-3 Friday night.

Colon (2-0), who spent 5 1/2 years with the Indians before being dealt to Montreal last season and subsequently coming to the White Sox in another trade, struck out three and walked three in Chicago's first complete game of the season.

On a frigid 42-degree night, he worked out of a final jam in the eighth, striking out Travis Hafner with runners at first and third.

Magglio Ordonez's hard-hop single off reliever Jose Santiago's glove scored D'Angelo Jimenez with the go-ahead run in the seventh.

Billy Traber (0-1) got the loss.

Red Sox 7, Blue Jays 3

BOSTON - Kevin Millar homered and Boston capitalized on four walks by Jeff Tam (1-0) to score three runs in the seventh inning against Toronto.

Tam's wildness was much worse than that of Boston knuckleballer Tim Wakefield (2-0), who walked three and threw two wild pitches in seven innings.

Doug Mirabelli homered and drove in two runs and Shea Hillenbrand also had two RBIs for Boston, which won its fifth straight game.

Orioles 9, Devil Rays 7

BALTIMORE - Tony Batista's two-run single capped an eight-run second inning that carried Baltimore over Tampa Bay.

Batista later hit a solo homer, finishing with three RBIs as the Orioles won their third straight.

Jason Johnson (2-0) allowed four runs - three earned - on eight hits over six innings. He walked one and struck out four. Jorge Julio got three outs for his fourth save.

Rey Ordonez matched his career high with his third homer for the Devil Rays, who have lost four straight and six of seven.

Yankees 11, Twins 4

MINNEAPOLIS - Roger Clemens won his 296th career game and New York hit four home runs, two of them upper-deck shots by Robin Ventura, to end Minnesota's six-game winning streak.

The Yankees have won 10 straight against the Twins the past two seasons.

Alfonso Soriano set the tone with a leadoff homer off Brad Radke (1-2), his sixth of the season and third in as many games, and Raul Mondesi also went deep for the Yankees - whose 31 homers are second-most in the majors. They've only given up four.

Clemens (3-0) struck out eight and allowed one run in six innings, lowering his ERA to 2.08 and stretching the record of New York's starting pitchers to a franchise-best 11-0. The Yankees are off to their best start ever at 13-3.

Royals 4, Tigers 3, 11 innings

KANSAS CITY, Mo. - Ken Harvey homered leading off the bottom of the 11th inning and Kansas City handed Detroit its 14th loss in 15 games this season.

Harvey connected on an 0-2 pitch from Matt Anderson (0-1) for his second home run of the season, sending a near-sellout crowd home happy.

Raul Ibanez homered to tie it at 3 in the sixth for the surprising Royals, who have won 12 of their first 15 games for the first time in team history.

The attendance of 38,937 was the Royals' largest April non-opening day crowd since April 30, 1989, when 40,113 fans saw Kansas City play Milwaukee.

D.J. Carrasco (1-0) pitched two innings for his first major league win.

Athletics 9, Rangers 0

OAKLAND, Calif. - Barry Zito pitched a six-hitter, and Erubiel Durazo hit a two-run double and a homer as Oakland got back to its winning ways at home.

Terrence Long and Ramon Hernandez homered and drove in two runs apiece for the A's, who won seven of their first eight games this season, then lost seven of eight. But in their return to the Coliseum, the A's reverted to top form.

Zito (3-1) retired Texas' first 11 hitters on the way to his fourth career shutout, while Oakland scored five runs in the first against John Thomson (0-2).

Mariners 8, Angels 2

ANAHEIM, Calif. - Jamie Moyer pitched seven scoreless innings and Bret Boone homered and drove in four runs to lead Seattle over Anaheim.

Moyer (2-1) joined five-time Cy Young winner Randy Johnson as the only pitchers to record at least 100 victories with Seattle. Moyer did it in his 204th start for the Mariners, seven fewer than the Big Unit needed.

Ramon Ortiz (2-2) allowed six runs and six hits in 7 2-3 innings.
