Harrison gets 10th win, Rangers prevail
Published in The Saudi Gazette on 26 - 06 - 2012

ARLINGTON – Matt Harrison worked five scoreless innings for his 10th victory, Leonys Martin had a pair of extra-base hits for his first three RBIs in the majors and the Texas Rangers beat Colorado 4-2 Sunday night in their final interleague game.
Martin, the Cuban defector who signed with the Rangers last year, had an RBI double in the second and a two-run triple an inning later.
Harrison (10-3) won his sixth consecutive decision and matched the AL lead for victories. His outing was cut short because of tightness in his lower back that caused soreness in his left hip.
Robbie Ross, Tanner Scheppers and Mike Adams each pitched a scoreless inning for the Rangers. Joe Nathan, the closer pitching in a non-save situation, gave up his first runs in 17 appearances since May 13.
Yankees 6, Mets 5: New York Yankees won Game 3 against the New York Mets, 6-5, to clinch the Subway Series at Citi Field. R.A. Dickey struggled with the command of his knuckleball, and saw his streak without allowing an earned run end after 44 2/3 innings. He gave up five runs, all earned, off five hits and three walks in six innings, striking out three.
Red Sox 9, Braves 4: Kevin Youkilis said farewell at Fenway Park in win over the Atlanta Braves helped by Cody Ross, who hit two homers and drove in five runs.
Youkilis was traded to the Chicago White Sox for utilityman Brent Lillibridge and right-hander Zach Stewart after the game.
Astros 7, Indians 1: Chris Johnson homered and drove in three runs and J.D. Martinez hit a two-run homer to lead the Astros over Cleveland for their first series since taking two of three from the White Sox June 8-10.
Twins 4, Reds 3: Josh Willingham hit a two-run homer in the ninth inning off shaky Cincinnati closer Aroldis Chapman, rallying Minnesota over the Reds.
Marlins 9, Blue Jays 0: Mark Buehrle pitched effectively for seven innings to become the winningest pitcher in interleague play, John Buck hit a three-run homer and the Marlins snapped a six-game losing streak with a win over Toronto.
Orioles 2, Nationals 1: Matt Wieters hit a two-run homer in the eighth inning to interrupt Baltimore's agonizing offensive struggle, and the Orioles rallied to beat the Nationals.
Tigers 3, Pirates 2: Justin Verlander pitched a five-hitter, Quintin Berry hit a two-run shot for his first major league home run and Detroit avoided a sweep with a win over the Pirates.
Rays 3, Phillies 2 (1st Game); Rays 7, Phillies 3 (2nd Game): Brooks Conrad hit a pair of two-run doubles off winless Philadelphia ace Cliff Lee and Tampa Bay swept a day-night doubleheader.
Lee (0-4) allowed five runs and six hits in seven innings. The 2008 AL Cy Young Award winner hasn't won a game since last Sept. 26.
Cardinals 11, Royals 8: Carlos Beltran had three RBIs, and Matt Holliday and Allen Craig each drove in two runs, powering St. Louis to a victory and its first three-game sweep in Kansas City since 2009.
White Sox 1, Brewers 0, 10 Innings: Pinch-hitter Eduardo Escobar lined an RBI single in the 10th inning and the Chicago White made it an adventuresome afternoon, beating Milwaukee.
Other results: Padres 2, Mariners 0; Angels 5, Dodgers 3; Athletics 4, Giants 2; Diamondbacks 5, Cubs 1. — Agencies
