Burnett and Swisher lead Yankees to win
Published in The Saudi Gazette on 16 - 04 - 2009

A.J. Burnett took a no-hit bid into the seventh inning in his second start since signing an $82.5 million, five-year deal for the New York Yankees, and Nick Swisher homered for the third time in four games in a 7-2 win over Tampa Bay on Tuesday night.
Mark Teixeira drove in the go-ahead run with an eighth-inning sacrifice fly off J.P. Howell (0-1) after missing New York's previous three games with tendinitis in left wrist.
Derek Jeter added a three-run homer in the ninth.
Burnett (2-0) allowed one baserunner until the seventh, when Tampa Bay's Carl Crawford fouled off three 0-2 pitches before lining a single to left and later scoring on Carlos Pena's RBI single.
Tampa Bay added a second run in the inning on Pat Burrell's sacrifice fly to make it 2-all heading into the eighth.
Burnett allowed two runs and three hits, walked one and struck out nine in eight innings – taming a torrid offense that had 17 hits in each of its previous two games, including a 15-5 rout of the Yankees on Monday night.
Mariners 3, Angels 2, 10 innings: At Seattle, Ken Griffey Jr. was a winner in his return to Seattle.
Twins 3, Blue Jays 2, 11 innings: At Minneapolis, Joe Crede's double off the center-field fence in the 11th inning scored Justin Morneau from first base, giving Minnesota a victory over Toronto.
In other games it was: Royals 9, Indians 3; Orioles 7, Rangers 5, 10 innings; Athletics 6, Red Sox 5, 12 innings.
Marlins improve to 6-1
Dan Uggla drove in three runs and Chris Volstad and two relievers combined on a four-hitter as the Florida Marlins beat the Atlanta Braves 5-1 on Tuesday night.
The Marlins are a major league-best 6-1 – all against NL East opponents – for their best start since opening 8-1 in 1997, when they won the World Series.
Volstad (2-0) gave up three hits and one run in seven innings. He struck out four and walked two while lowering his ERA to 1.50. He has allowed only five hits in 12 innings.
Uggla drove in two runs with a third-inning single off Javier Vazquez (0-1), who struck out 12 in six innings.
Kelly Johnson led off the fourth with his third homer for Atlanta's first hit off Volstad. Leo Nunez and Matt Lindstrom each pitched a scoreless inning in relief of Volstad.
Diamondbacks 7, Cardinals 6, 10 innings: At Phoenix, Eric Byrnes broke out of a slump with a two-out RBI single in the 10th inning that gave Arizona a victory over St. Louis.
Reds 6, Brewers 1: At Milwaukee, Bronson Arroyo allowed four hits in six-plus innings, leading Cincinnati to a convincing win.
Jerry Hairston Jr. hit a two-run shot for the Reds, who took the first two games of the series and will go for a sweep Wednesday.
