Youkilis' homer buries Red Sox
Published in The Saudi Gazette on 19 - 07 - 2012

Houston Astros' Jose Altuve hurdles over San Diego Padres' Alexi Amarista during their game in San Diego Tuesday. — APBOSTON – Kevin Youkilis hit his first homer at Fenway Park as a visitor, driving a three-run shot over the Green Monster to lead the Chicago White Sox to a 7-5 win over the Boston Red Sox Tuesday night.
It's been less than a month since Boston traded one of its most popular players to Chicago and the Fenway fans cheered “Yooouk!" loudly for the second straight night – even as he rounded the bases to put Chicago up 6-2 with his homer off of Jon Lester (6-6) in the fourth inning.
The White Sox won for the eighth time in 11 games and are 10 games above .500 (50-40) for the fourth time this season.
Philip Humber (4-4) made his first start in a month and settled down after allowing two runs in a shaky first inning.
Yankees 6, Blue Jays 1: CC Sabathia carried a shutout into the seventh inning during his sparkling return from the disabled list and New York got an early three-run homer from Andruw Jones to move a season-best 22 games over .500 and the best record in the majors.
Sabathia's successful return overshadowed an encouraging outing by Brett Cecil (2-2), who entered with a 6.75 ERA in five major league starts this year. The 26-year-old lefty held the Yankees in check for six innings and retired his final eight batters. He struck out five and walked two.
Angels 13, Tigers 0: Mike Trout had another four-hit game for Los Angeles, including a 430-foot homer that was part of an early power show in the Angels' 13-0 rout of the Detroit Tigers.
Trout, Mark Trumbo and Albert Pujols all homered off Jacob Turner in the first two innings, and Alberto Callaspo and Kendrys Morales went deep later in the game. It was the fourth four-hit game of Trout's spectacular rookie season.
Rays 4, Indians 2: Matt Moore won despite control issues, Carlos Pena homered and the Tampa Bay Rays beat the Cleveland Indians.
Moore (6-6) allowed two runs and three hits, but walked five in five-plus innings. The rookie left-hander was coming off a five-walk – in 4 2-3 innings – loss at Cleveland on July 7. Pena hit a two-run homer and Luke Scott had an RBI triple off Josh Tomlin (5-6) as the Rays took a 3-0 first-inning lead.
Tomlin gave up four runs and seven hits in 5 2-3 innings.
Mariners 9, Royals 6: Justin Smoak and Michael Saunders each hit two-run homers and the Seattle Mariners beat the Kansas City Royals.
Twins 6, Orioles 4: Joe Mauer had three hits and an RBI and the Minnesota Twins bullpen pitched 4 2-3 innings of scoreless relief in a 6-4 victory over the Baltimore Orioles.
Rangers 6, Athletics 1: Roy Oswalt baffled Oakland's batters to beat the Athletics for the first time, and Josh Hamilton and Adrian Beltre each hit solo home runs in the Texas Rangers' victory. Giants rout BravesGeorgia native Buster Posey drove in five runs with three hits, Barry Zito combined with two relievers on a five-hitter and the San Francisco Giants shut out the Atlanta Braves 9-0 Tuesday night.
Reds 4, Diamondbacks 0: Right-hander Johnny Cueto showed no significant problem from his finger blister during six shutout innings and Ryan Ludwick hit a three-run homer that sent the Cincinnati Reds to their first victory without Joey Votto over the Arizona Diamondbacks.
Nationals 5, Mets 4: Pedro Beato threw a wild pitch with the bases loaded in the 10th inning that allowed the winning run to score, and the Washington Nationals beat the New York Mets after blowing a late lead Tuesday night.
Marlins 9, Cubs 5: Carlos Lee hit a grand slam and the Florida Marlins beat the Cubs, giving Ozzie Guillen a win in his first game back managing in Chicago.
Brewers 3, Cardinals 2: Francisco Rodriguez picked up a save on his first night as Milwaukee's new closer, Rickie Weeks hit a mammoth home run and Randy Wolf won his first game since April 30 as the Brewers beat the St. Louis Cardinals.
Pirates 6, Rockies 2: Erik Bedard pitched effectively into the seventh inning for his first win in more than a month, Andrew McCutchen homered, and the Pittsburgh Pirates beat the Colorado Rockies to become the fifth team with at least 50 wins.
Dodgers 3, Phillies 2: Roy Halladay pitched five effective innings in his first start off the disabled list, Hunter Pence hit a go-ahead, two-out single in the eighth inning and the Philadelphia Phillies beat the Los Angeles Dodgers for their fourth straight victory. — Agencies
