Hamilton, Cruz in form, Ogando throws shutout
Published in The Saudi Gazette on 25 - 05 - 2011

ARLINGTON, Texas: Josh Hamilton and Nelson Cruz both homered in their return to the Texas Rangers lineup and Alexi Ogando threw a five-hitter for his first career shutout in a 4-0 win over the Chicago White Sox Monday.
Hamilton, the reigning American League most valuable player, got his first homer of the season when he pulled a line drive over the right-field wall in the first off John Danks (0-7), who also threw a complete game. Hamilton added a double in the eighth.
Cruz hit his eighth homer, a two-run homer in the sixth.
Ogando (5-0) struck out six and walked three.
Indians 3, Red Sox 2: At Cleveland, Asdrubal Cabrera's two-out RBI double in the eighth inning — the latest big hit delivered by Cleveland's shortstop — rallied the Indians to a win over Boston, which also lost second baseman Dustin Pedroia with a leg injury. Cabrera, who went 5 for 5 with two homers and five RBIs Sunday, drove his double off reliever Daniel Bard (1-4) to the wall in left field, scoring Michael Brantley and helping the Indians win their fourth straight and improve to 19-4 at home.
Cabrera also homered in the fourth, his third homer in two days. The game started after a 61-minute rain delay.
Blue Jays 7, Yankees 3: At New York, J.P. Arencibia hit a three-run double in a five-run sixth inning and Jose Bautista homered to back spot starter Carlos Villanueva and lift Toronto to a victory over New York.
In other games it was: Tigers 6, Rays 3; Mariners 8, Twins 7; Angels 4, Athletics 1.
Phillies beat Reds
Jimmy Rollins, Placido Polanco and Raul Ibanez homered to back Cole Hamels as the Philadelphia Phillies handed the Cincinnati Reds their sixth straight loss, 10-3 Monday.
Chase Utley returned to Philadelphia's lineup after missing the first 46 games with a right knee injury. The five-time All-Star second baseman was 0 for 5, the only starter without a hit. His teammates did all the damage.
A struggling offense that had nine runs combined in the previous six games scored nine by the third inning.
Hamels (6-2) allowed three runs and five hits in six innings.
Brewers 11, Nationals 3: At Milwaukee, Corey Hart hit his first three home runs this season and drove in seven to tie both club records to lift surging Milwaukee past Washington.
Hitless in his previous 11 at-bats, Hart smacked two-run shots in the first and fifth innings off Tom Gorzelanny (2-4) to reach 100 homers for his career. He finished with a three-run homer off Doug Slaten with two outs in the eighth.
Elsewhere it was: Cardinals 3, Padres 1; Astros 4, Dodgers 3.
