Saturday's Interleague games



By The Associated Press

BALTIMORE - Barry Bonds hit his 675th homer and capped a four-run 11th inning with an RBI single, leading the San Francisco Giants past the Baltimore Orioles 9-6 on Saturday in the opener of a day-night doubleheader.

The Giants overcame two home runs by Rafael Palmeiro, who moved past Mickey Mantle into 11th place on the career list with 537.

It was only the third time in baseball history that two players with 500 homers connected in the same game. Willie Mays and Ernie Banks did it in 1970, and Mays and Aaron both homered on May 8, 1971.

A.J. Pierzynski led off the 11th with his fourth homer, a drive to right-center against Jorge Julio (1-2), who allowed only one home run in 22 innings this season. Marquis Grissom added a two-run single, and Bonds chased Julio with a single to left, foiling a shift to the right side by the Baltimore infield.

Matt Herges (2-2), who worked the final three innings and gave up a sacrifice fly to Brian Roberts in the 11th, began his stint by getting out of a bases-loaded, no outs jam in the ninth.

Yankees 3, Padres 2

NEW YORK - Gary Sheffield put the Yankees ahead with a two-run single in the sixth inning, and Bret Prinz pitched out of a jam in the seventh to preserve New York's victory over San Diego.

Derek Jeter had three hits and Jon Lieber (5-3) worked out of trouble all afternoon for the Yankees, who improved to 9-2 on their 12-game homestand.

Sheffield's single to center off reliever Scott Linebrink gave New York a 3-2 lead and sent Padres starter Dennis Tankersley (0-3) to his eighth consecutive loss since his only major league win on May 26, 2002, at Milwaukee.

San Diego put runners at the corners with none out in the seventh against Paul Quantrill, and Prinz came in to face the middle of the order. He retired cleanup hitter Phil Nevin on a short fly to right, then got Jay Payton on a foul popup and Terrence Long on a fly to left.

Tom Gordon fanned two in a perfect eighth, and Mariano Rivera got three outs for his AL-leading 26th save in 27 chances.

Dodgers 14, Red Sox 5

BOSTON - Olmedo Saenz drove in four runs and hit one of Los Angeles' three homers in the Dodgers' first win at Fenway Park.

Trailing 2-1, Los Angeles scored four runs in the fourth then added seven in the fifth and two in the sixth. Saenz, Juan Encarnacion and Jayson Werth homered, and Cesar Izturis had four of his team's 15 hits.

Jeff Weaver (4-7) allowed five runs and five hits in five innings. Los Angeles relievers pitched four hitless innings, striking out 10 of 12 batters.

Tim Wakefield (4-5) allowed eight runs on 10 hits in 4 1-3 innings.

Utility infielder David McCarty pitched the ninth for Boston and retired the side in order.

Blue Jays 15, Diamondbacks 4

TORONTO - Roy Halladay (6-4) allowed two runs on three hits in 5 2-3 innings in his return from the disabled list, and Eric Hinske homered and drove in a career-high five runs to lead Toronto over Arizona.

Halladay, the AL Cy Young winner, missed two starts with a sore shoulder. He struck out five and walked one.

Hinske hit a three-run homer off Andrew Good (0-1) in the third and his two-run single in the fourth gave Toronto an 8-0 lead.

Vernon Wells hit a three-run homer and tied a career high with four hits.

Royals 4, Mets 3

KANSAS CITY, Mo. - Angel Berroa's RBI single scored the winning run from second base with one out in the ninth inning, lifting the Royals past the New York Mets.

Right fielder Gerald Williams made a strong throw to the plate but pinch-runner Wilton Guerrero was safe when catcher Vance Wilson had trouble handling the throw and tagged Guerrero with his glove, but the ball was still in his other hand.

Joe Randa, who had two doubles, singled leading off the ninth against David Weathers (5-3). Guerrero advanced to second on a sacrifice.

Jeremy Affeldt (2-3), who had converted nine straight save opportunities, inherited a 3-2 lead in the ninth but gave up a one-out single to Mike Cameron before Todd Zeile's pinch-hit double tied it 3-all.

Athletics 12, Pirates 11

OAKLAND, Calif. - Jermaine Dye singled with the bases loaded in the ninth inning to complete a wild comeback for the Athletics in a victory over Pittsburgh.

Marco Scutaro doubled to lead off the ninth, and after Mark Corey (0-1) got Eric Byrnes to fly out, Mark McLemore and Mark Kotsay were walked intentionally ahead of Dye.

Arthur Rhodes (3-3) blew his fifth save in 14 opportunities, most in the AL, but got the win when Dye singled.

Erubiel Durazo drove in three runs and Byrnes hit two homers as the A's scored five times in the eighth inning against Pittsburgh closer Jose Mesa to take an 11-10 lead.

Bobby Crosby had two RBI doubles as the A's extended their season-best winning streak to seven games.

Ruben Mateo had two homers, including his first career grand slam, and Jason Bay collected three hits and drove in two runs as the Pirates lost their seventh straight.

Devil Rays 10, Rockies 7

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. - Toby Hall and Tino Martinez hit consecutive homers in the seventh inning, leading Tampa Bay over Colorado.

Hall gave the Devil Rays an 8-7 lead with a two-run shot off Tim Harikkala (1-1), and Martinez followed with his 310th career homer.

John Halama (2-1) earned the win with three scoreless innings of relief for the Devil Rays, who equaled their best record after 59 games at 25-34.

Matt Holliday hit his first career grand slam during Colorado's six-run sixth inning that put the Rockies up 7-5. Colorado has lost seven straight, and 19 of 23.

Tigers 6, Marlins 2

DETROIT - Nate Robertson pitched four-hit ball for eight innings and Ivan Rodriguez had two hits and an RBI against his former team, lifting the Tigers to their fourth straight win.

Rodriguez, the star catcher who helped Florida to a surprising World Series title last October, went 2-for-4 for the second straight game against the Marlins.

Robertson (5-3) allowed the first two runners to reach base in the third, fourth and fifth innings, but got out of the jam each time by getting a double play. He struck out three, walked two and has won his last three decisions.

Ugueth Urbina entered and got one out his 10th save in 11 chances.

Brad Penny (6-4) gave up four runs - three earned - six hits and struck out 10 in seven inning.

Twins 6, Phillies 1

MINNEAPOLIS - Carlos Silva (7-3) struck out a career-high eight in seven sharp innings against his former team, leading Minnesota over Philadelphia.

Luis Rivas went 3-for-4 with a two-run triple for the Twins, who scored four runs with two outs in the second inning against Phillies starter Kevin Millwood (4-5).

Jim Thome hit career home run No. 399, his 18th of the season, for Philadelphia.

Silva was acquired in a December trade with the Phillies for left-hander Eric Milton.

White Sox 10, Braves 8

CHICAGO - Frank Thomas homered twice and Carlos Lee extended his career-best hitting streak to 26 games in the White Sox's win over Atlanta.

Lee went 3-for-5 with an RBI and Juan Uribe had a three-run double for the White Sox, who had lost six of eight.

Esteban Loaiza (7-3) was hit hard but stayed in the game long enough to earn the win. He gave up six runs in six innings on eight hits, walking three and striking out six.

Shingo Takatsu pitched the ninth to get his first major league save. He is the all-time Japanese saves leader with 260.

John Thomson (5-4) allowed seven runs - six earned - on 10 hits in five innings for Atlanta. He walked three and struck out seven.

Rangers 7, Cardinals 2

ARLINGTON, Texas - Hank Blalock hit his second career grand slam and drove in five runs, and Ryan Drese pitched seven strong innings in Texas' victory over the St. Louis.

Drese (3-3) won for the first time since beating Tampa Bay on May 5. He allowed two runs- one earned - and four hits.

Blalock had an RBI single in the third inning and his grand slam off St. Louis starter Chris Carpenter (7-2) in the fourth gave Texas a 7-0 lead. It was Blalock's 14th homer of the season.

Albert Pujols was St. Louis' designated hitter for the second consecutive game since missing four games with a strained hamstring. He was 0-for-4, and is 1-for-9 the past two games.

NL: Brewers 7, Astros 4

MILWAUKEE - Keith Ginter's go-ahead, two-run double highlighted Milwaukee's five-run fifth inning, and the Brewers came back to beat the Houston Astros 7-4 on Saturday night.

Lyle Overbay homered for Milwaukee, which rocked Roy Oswalt for six runs in the right-hander's worst outing in nearly two years.

Chris Capuano (2-2) returned from the disabled list and gave up four runs and four hits in five innings for the victory. Dan Kolb pitched a perfect ninth for his 17th save in 18 opportunities.

Houston's Jeff Kent had his team-record 25-game hitting streak snapped after going 0-for-4 with two strikeouts.

Oswalt (4-5) had beaten the Brewers twice this season, giving up just two runs in 15 innings. But Milwaukee tripled that output in its big fifth inning, when the Brewers batted around in the inning and had six hits and scored five runs off Oswalt.
