Peguero hands Seattle win
Published in The Saudi Gazette on 21 - 05 - 2011

time Gold Glover Torri Hunter lost Carlos Peguero's fly ball with two outs in the ninth inning in the sun, allowing Jack Cust to score and give the Seattle Mariners a 2-1 win over the Los Angeles Angels in the American League Thursday.
Seattle swept the brief two-game series in unusual fashion.
Cust started the ninth with a check-swing dribbler up the third base line that beat the Angels defensive shift. A sacrifice bunt and ground out to first moved Cust to third. Peguero then hit a fly ball to left-center field. Hunter was in position but then lost the ball in the bright sun and it fell in for a hit to score Cust.
Doug Fister went eight strong innings, giving up just a solo homer to the Angels' Howie Kendrick. Los Angeles starter Dan Haren also went eight innings, allowing just three hits and one run to the Mariners.
Twins 11, Athletics 1: At Oakland, California, Justin Morneau homered and had three hits and Rene Rivera hit his first home run in nearly five years for suddenly resurgent Minnesota.
Nick Blackburn pitched seven solid innings for Minnesota, which has won three straight — all on the road — following a season-high nine-game losing streak.
Trevor Plouffe also homered while Michael Cuddyer added three hits. Plouffe homered as part of a six-run eighth inning, the Twins' best of the season.
Hideki Matsui walked and scored for Oakland, which lost its starting pitcher Tyson Ross to a strained left oblique after throwing just seven pitches.
In other games it was: Blue Jays 3, Rays 2; Red Sox 4, Tigers 3; White Sox 8, Indians 2; Yankees 13, Orioles 2; Royals 2, Rangers 1, 10 innings.
Rockies beat Phillies
Jason Giambi became the second-oldest player to hit three homers in a game and equal his career high with seven RBIs as he led the Colorado Rockies past the Philadelphia Phillies 7-1 Thursday.
Jhoulys Chacin was the beneficiary of Giambi's turn-back-the-clock power display. Chacin (5-2) allowed one run and four hits, striking out a season-high nine in seven innings.
Making a rare start at first base in place of Todd Helton, Giambi went deep in his first three at-bats. The 40-year-old former AL MVP entered 3 for 26 (.115) this season with one home run and four RBIs.
Cardinals 4, Astros 2: At St. Louis, first-year starter Kyle McClellan became the National League's first six-game winner as backup catcher Gerald Laird's two-run double helped St. Louis beat Houston for a two-game sweep.
Allen Craig homered in a three-hit game as the stand-in cleanup batter for injured Matt Holliday. The Cardinals completed a 4-0 homestand behind stingy pitching that allowed only five runs.
Elsewhere it was: Mets 1, Nationals 0; Pirates 5, Reds 3; Cubs 5, Marlins 1; Diamondbacks 2, Braves 1; Padres 1, Brewers 0; Giants 3, Dodgers 1.
