Published in The Saudi Gazette on 22 - 08 - 2012

CHICAGO — Chicago's Alexei Ramirez hit a tiebreaking two-run homer in the seventh inning as the White Sox beat the New York Yankees 9-6 in Monday's opening game of a three-game series between American League divisional leaders.
Ramirez connected with two outs in the seventh off Boone Logan (4-2), and Adam Dunn added his major league-leading 36th homer of the season in the eighth as the White Sox ended a run of three straight defeats.
Brett Myers (2-1) got the win by pitching two-thirds of an inning.
New York's Derek Jeter homered and had four hits, tying Eddie Murray for 11th place on the career list (3,255). He also took over 13th place on the runs scored list (1,845), passing Craig Biggio.
Rangers 5, Orioles 1: In Arlington, Texas, Ryan Dempster pitched eight innings, his longest outing in more than two months and his best since being traded to Texas, as the AL West-leading Rangers beat Baltimore.
Dempster (7-6) retired the last 11 batters he faced. He allowed one run.
David Murphy had two RBI singles for the Rangers, who opened a 10-game homestand. All nine Texas starters had a hit.
Orioles starter Miguel Gonzalez (5-3), who had won his previous three decisions, gave up four runs in five innings.
Rays 5, Royals 1: In St. Petersburg, Jeremy Hellickson pitched seven innings for his first home win in three months as Tampa Bay downed Kansas City.
Hellickson (8-8) allowed one run in ending a stretch of seven consecutive home winless starts.
The Rays went ahead 4-1 in the fourth on Jose Labaton's RBI single and a run-scoring double from Desmond Jennings off Will Smith (4-5).
Twins 7, Athletics 2: In Oakland, Josh Willingham drove in two runs against his former team and Joe Mauer hit a two-run single as Minnesota snapped Oakland's five-game home winning streak.
Brian Duensing (3-8) struck out seven and walked one in six innings to help the Twins bounce back from a three-game weekend sweep at Seattle that began a 10-game road trip. A's starter Brandon McCarthy (6-5) surrendered three straight hits in the first, including Willingham's RBI double. McCarthy was knocked out after 3 1-3 innings, having allowed a season-high six runs.
Mariners 5, Indians 3: In Seattle, Michael Saunders hit two two-run home runs to help Seattle to its sixth straight victory, defeating Cleveland.
The Mariners have won 13 of their past 14 games at Safeco Field. It's the best home stretch over 14 games in club history.
