Edwin Jackson overcame a wild start to throw the fourth no-hitter in the season of the pitcher, leading the Arizona Diamondbacks to a 1-0 victory over the Tampa Bay Rays Friday. Jackson (5-6) threw a whopping 149 pitches – a major league high – and walked eight, all but one in the first three innings, in the second no-hitter in Diamondbacks' history. This is the third time the Rays have been no-hit since last July, including Dallas Braden's perfect game at Oakland on May 9. Colorado's Ubaldo Jimenez no-hit Atlanta on April 17 and Philadelphia's Roy Halladay tossed a perfect game at Florida on May 29. Armando Galarraga had his perfect game ended with two outs in the ninth on a blown call by umpire Jim Joyce. Adam LaRoche homered off Jeff Niemann (6-2) with one out in the second, all the support Jackson would need. Yankees 2, Dodgers 1: At Los Angeles, CC Sabathia won his fifth consecutive start with eight sharp innings, Alex Rodriguez homered in the sixth inning to snap a tie as the New York Yankees beat Joe Torre and the Los Angeles Dodgers. It was Torre's first time facing the Yankees since leaving as manager in 2007. The American League East-leading Yankees won their third straight while sending the Dodgers to their 10th loss in 13 games, a slide that has plunged them from first to third in the National League West. Sabathia (9-3) allowed four hits and one run, struck out seven and walked three. The Yankees' defense helped him out, too, turning double plays in the third and fifth innings. Mariano Rivera struck out the side in the ninth to earn his 17th save in 18 chances. Vicente Padilla (1-2) gave up two runs and six hits in seven innings, struck out seven and walked one. Rockies 4, Angels 3, 11 innings: At Anaheim, California, Jonathan Herrera's RBI single in the 11th inning lifted Colorado over Anaheim. Carlos Gonzalez tied the game at 3 when he singled home Herrera in the eighth, ending a streak of 27 straight saves at home for Angels closer Fernando Rodney. Matt Belisle (3-3) pitched 2 2-3 innings of scoreless relief and Manny Corpas earned his 10th save. Chris Iannetta doubled with two outs against Francisco Rodriguez (0-1) and Melvin Mora walked before Herrera singled. Bobby Abreu led off the bottom of the 11th with a single and stole second before Juan Rivera walked, but Mike Napoli hit into a fielder's choice and Jeff Mathis grounded out. Athletics 14, Pirates 4: At Oakland, Coco Crisp had three hits and Ben Sheets won for the first time in more than a month as Oakland beatup hapless Pittsburgh. Giants 5, Red Sox 4: At San Francisco, Juan Uribe homered, Jonathan Sanchez won his second straight decision, and San Francisco rallied from an early three-run deficit to beat Boston. White Sox 6, Cubs 0: At Chicago, Jake Peavy allowed three hits over seven innings and Carlos Quentin hit his fourth homer in four games as the Chicago White Sox matched their longest winning streak in 34 years with a victory over the Chicago Cubs. In other games it was: Astros 7, Rangers 4; Royals 4, Cardinals 2; Brewers 8, Mariners 3; Orioles 7, Nationals 6; Braves 3, Tigers 1; Phillies 9, Blue Jays 0; Reds 10, Indians 3; Mets 5, Twins 2. National League Padres 3, Marlins 0: At Miami, Will Venable's two-run home run in the seventh inning broke a scoreless tie, Clayton Richard gave up five hits in six efficient innings as the San Diego Padres spoiled Florida interim manager Edwin Rodriguez's home debut by beating the Marlins.
