Nava and Drew hand Boston win
Published in The Saudi Gazette on 04 - 07 - 2010

hitter Daniel Nava sliced a single down the right-field line to break an eighth-inning tie and the give injury-depleted Boston Red Sox a 3-2 victory over the Baltimore Orioles Friday.
Nava, a switch-hitter best known for hitting a Grand Slam on the first major league pitch he saw on June 12, batted for Eric Patterson when lefty Will Ohman replaced Brad Bergesen (3-5) with two outs and Marco Scutaro on second with a double.
Nava popped a 2-1 pitch down the line and Scutaro scored easily. Tim Wakefield (3-6) got the win, allowed two runs and seven hits in eight innings for his second win in his last six decisions.
J.D. Drew hit two solo homers for the Red Sox.
Before the game, the Red Sox placed catcher Jason Varitek and reliever Manny Delcarmen on the disabled list. There are 10 Red Sox on it, including Josh Beckett, Dustin Pedroia and Victor Martinez.
Blue Jays 6, Yankees 1, 11 innings: At New York, Alex Gonzalez hit a go-ahead single in the 11th inning as Toronto beat New York to snap a five-game losing streak.
Gonzalez singled for a 2-1 lead and Dewayne Wise's bases-loaded triple capped a five-run burst for the Blue Jays.
Lyle Overbay and John Buck opened the Toronto 11th with singles. A sacrifice and an intentional walk loaded the bases for Gonzalez, who lined his single over leaping third baseman Alex Rodriguez. After another out, Vernon Wells walked and Wise tripled.
The Blue Jays tied it at 1-1 in the eighth on Aaron Hill's RBI single with two outs off Joba Chamberlain.
Tigers 7, Mariners 1: At Detroit, Max Scherzer allowed three hits in a season-high eight innings as late substitute Don Kelly sparked Detroit's offense in a win over Seattle.
In other games it was: Athletics 3, Indians 0; Twins 2, Rays 1; White Sox 5, Rangers 3; Royals 2, Angels 1, 10 innings.
Gibson opens Arizona career with a win
Chris Young matched a career high with five RBIs as the Arizona Diamondbacks made Kirk Gibson a winner in his managerial debut with a 12-5 victory over Los Angeles Dodgers Friday.
The Diamondbacks battered Hiroki Kuroda (7-6) early and had nine runs on 11 hits in the first three innings to help Edwin Jackson (6-6) through a just-good-enough outing after his 149-pitch no-hitter at Tampa Bay seven days before.
Young made sure Gibson didn't have to sweat out his first win as skipper, hitting a three-run homer in the seventh off Justin Miller to put Arizona up seven. Miguel Montero and Mark Reynolds added two RBIs each for Arizona, which ended a seven-game losing streak to Los Angeles.
Elsewhere in the NL it was: Reds 12, Cubs 0; Braves 4, Marlins 3, 11 innings; Mets 5, Nationals 3; Padres 3, Astros 0; Pirates 2, Phillies 0; Rockies 6, Giants 3; Cardinals 5, Brewers 0.
