Colon makes solid return to majors
Published in The Saudi Gazette on 23 - 05 - 2008

Bartolo Colon made a solid return to the majors after recovering from an elbow injury, posting his first win since last June as Boston beat Kansas City 6-3 on Wednesday.
The 2005 Cy Young pitching award winner allowed two runs and struck out four in five innings in his first game since Sept. 29, when he pitched one scoreless relief inning for the Los Angeles Angels. He became a free agent after the season then signed a minor league contract with Boston on Feb. 25.
Jacoby Ellsbury had three hits, including a leadoff homer in the first, and scored three runs for Boston, which won its sixth straight, while Dustin Pedroia had three hits and Jason Varitek added a solo homer.
Joey Gathright scored all three runs for Kansas City and reached base on all four at-bats with two singles and two walks.
Angels 4, Blue Jays 3: At Toronto, Vladimir Guerrero hit two home runs and Jon Garland remained unbeaten in Toronto.
It was the 34th career multihomer game for Guerrero, who came in batting .260 with four homers, his lowest career totals after 45 games.
Yankees 8, Orioles 0: At New York, Alex Rodriguez hit two balls over the fence but was credited with only one home run as New York broke loose to beat Baltimore.
Rodriguez's return from the disabled list has provided an immediate boost. He homered in his first game back Tuesday night, a 12-2 loss, and finished with a home run and two doubles in this one. The three-time MVP homered off Garrett Olson (3-1) to start the third, then hit another ball over the wall in the sixth that was incorrectly called an RBI double.
Other results: Tigers 9 Mariners 4; Athletics 9, Rays 1; Rangers 10, Twins 1; White Sox 7, Indians 2.
Giants down Rockies
Omar Vizquel doubled to start a game-tying rally in the ninth inning, then drove in the winning run with a sacrifice fly in the 10th, leading San Francisco to a 3-2 victory over Colorado on Wednesday.
Brian Wilson struck out Omar Quintanilla looking for the final out in the 10th to pick up his 14th save in 16 chances.
Tyler Walker (2-2) got the win after setting down the Rockies in the ninth.
Ray Durham led off the 10th with a single and Rich Aurilia drew a walk off Matt Herges (2-1). After a fielder's choice, Vizquel lifted a fly ball to left.
The Giants scored twice in the ninth off closer Brian Fuentes to tie it on Bengie Molina's RBI single and pinch-hitter Steve Holm's run-scoring double.
Dodgers 5, Reds 2: At Los Angeles, Hiroki Kuroda pitched eight solid innings and Los Angeles scored four of their runs on a wild pitch, a suicide squeeze, a passed ball and a bad pickoff throw.
James Loney completed the scoring with a home run, helping the Dodgers beat Cincinnati for their sixth win in eight games following a five-game losing streak.
Kuroda (2-3) allowed two runs and five hits, struck out three and walked two. The right-hander won for the first time in nine starts.
Takashi Saito pitched a perfect ninth for his seventh save in nine attempts.
Braves 11, Mets 4: At Atlanta, Jeff Francoeur homered and drove in four runs to help Atlanta beat New York and win its third straight in the series.
Francoeur did not play in the second game of Tuesday's doubleheader, ending his streak of 370 consecutive games played. It was his first game off since Oct. 1, 2005.
Braves rookie Jair Jurrjens (5-3) gave up only one earned run in seven innings for his second win over the Mets this season. He gave up five hits and two runs with two walks and a strikeout.
Other results: Phillies 12, Nationals 2; Brewers 4, Pirates 1; Marlins 3, Diamondbacks 1; Astros 5, Cubs 3; Cardinals 11, Padres 3.
