Yankees snap Mets' run to record
Published in The Saudi Gazette on 26 - 04 - 2015

NEW YORK — Michael Pineda pitched effectively into the eighth inning and first baseman Mark Teixeira homered twice, leading the New York Yankees to a 6-1 Inter-League victory over the New York Mets, who had their record-tying 11-game winning streak snapped.
Jacoby Ellsbury hit a solo home run and second baseman Stephen Drew lifted a sacrifice fly for the Yankees (10-7), who won a home game against the Mets (13-4) for the first time since June 10, 2012.
American League
Rays 12, Blue Jays 3: James Loney hit a two-run homer and a double in his return from the 15-day disabled list to lift the Tampa Bay Rays to a win against the Toronto Blue Jays.
Catcher Rene Rivera and designated hitter Tim Beckham also hit two-run homers as the Rays (9-8) won their third consecutive game.
Indians 13, Tigers 1: Brandon Moss drove in seven runs — five with a pair of home runs plus two with a double — and Danny Salazar struck out a career-best 11 batters in seven innings to help the Cleveland Indians overpower Detroit and hand the skidding Tigers their fourth straight loss.
Cleveland's (6-9) Salazar (2-0) allowed six hits and walked three in his second start since being recalled from the minors. Right-handers Scott Atchison and Anthony Swarzak worked the eighth and ninth, respectively.
Detroit fell to 11-6.
Red Sox 7, Orioles 5: Brock Holt hit a tiebreaking three-run homer in the top of the eighth inning to give the Boston Red Sox a victory over the Baltimore Orioles.
First baseman Chris Davis homered for the Orioles (7-10) in the eighth as they lost their fifth straight.
Boston improved to 10-7.
Angels 3, Rangers 2: David Freese's two-run home run in the seventh inning lifted the Los Angeles Angels to a win over the Texas Rangers.
Freese's homer made a winner of Angels (8-9) starting pitcher Garrett Richards, who gave up two runs and three hits in seven innings, but stood to lose the game if not for Freese's big hit.
In other games it was: Astros 5, Athletics 4 (11 innings); Mariners 2, Twins 0; White Sox 2, Royals 2 (suspended).
National League
Cardinals 3, Brewers 0: Jayson Heyward and Jhonny Peralta hit their second home runs of the season and Carlos Martinez pitched seven shutout innings as the St. Louis Cardinals beat the Milwaukee Brewers.
Peralta also had two singles for a 3-for-4 night for the Cardinals (11-4).
Phillies 1, Braves 0: First baseman Freddie Freeman's ninth-inning error allowed the game's only run to score, as the Philadelphia Phillies beat the Atlanta Braves.
Ben Revere bounced a ball to Freeman with a runner on a third base and he failed to field it cleanly giving Philadelphia (6-11) the win over Atlanta (8-8).
Freddy Galvis went 3-for-4 and scored the winning run.
Marlins 3, Nationals 2: Third baseman Martin Prado hit a tie-breaking RBI single in the eighth inning to lead the Miami Marlins past the Washington Nationals.
It was the third straight win for the Marlins (6-11) and the third straight loss for NL East-rival Washington (7-10).
Dodgers 3, Padres 0: Zack Greinke limited the Padres to four hits while striking out seven over seven innings in snapping the Dodgers' three-game losing streak.
Carl Crawford homered for the Dodgers (10-6).
San Diego (10-8) have not scored in 14 straight innings.
Rockies 6, Giants 4: Pinch-hitter Rafael Ynoa hit a go-ahead RBI double in the sixth inning where Colorado scored three times to snap San Francisco's three-game winning streak.
DJ LeMahieu first tied the game 4-4 with an RBI double of his own and finished 3-for-4 with two RBIs for the Rockies (10-7). San Francisco fell to 7-11.
In other games it was: Pirates 4, Diamondbacks 1; Cubs 7, Reds 3 (11 innings). — Agencies
