CC Sabathia became a 20-game winner for the first time in his stellar career, pitching the New York Yankees past the Baltimore Orioles 11-3 Saturday. Sabathia (20-6) leads the majors in victories. He twice finished seasons with 19 wins, and succeeded this year in his third try at No. 20. Sabathia already had a Cy Young pitching award, a World Series championship and several All-Star selections to his credit over 10 seasons. Winning 20 games was about the only thing missing on his pitching resume. The big lefty allowed three runs on seven hits over seven innings for the American League East leaders. Sabathia, denied the milestone win in a home loss to the Orioles on Sept. 7, walked one and struck out four, improving to 14-2 all-time against Baltimore. Robinson Cano and Curtis Granderson homered for the Yankees. Cano's two-run shot put the second baseman at 101 RBIs. That gave the Yankees three infielders with 100 or more RBIs in a single season for the first time in franchise history - first baseman Mark Teixeira and third baseman Alex Rodriguez previously reached the mark.Jeremy Guthrie (10-14) took the loss. Rays 4, Angels 3, 10 innings: At St. Petersburg, Florida, Carlos Pena hit a tying single with two outs in the ninth inning for Tampa Bay, then shortstop Brandon Wood's throwing error with two outs in the 10th lifted the Rays over Los Angeles. The Rays stayed one-half game behind New York in the AL East, and continued to hold a sizable lead over Boston in the wild-card race. Blue Jays 4, Red Sox 3: At Boston, Jose Batista hit his major league-leading 49th homer, extending his own club record set one night earlier, as Toronto beat Boston. In other games it was: Twins 4, Athletics 2; Tigers 6, White Sox 3; Rangers 6, Mariners 1; Indians 6 Royals 4. Tulowitzki hits 2 more HRs Troy Tulowitzki hit two more home runs to equal a modern major league record with 14 shots in a 15-game stretch as the Colorado Rockies kept up their playoff push by routing the Los Angeles Dodgers 12-2 Saturday. Tulowitzki hit a two-run homer in the first inning, doubled in the third and added another two-run homer in the fifth against rookie John Ely (4-8). Tulowitzki fouled out with the bases loaded in the eighth, but Melvin Mora hit a grand slam later in the inning. Tulowitzki joined Albert Belle (1995) and Barry Bonds (2001) as the only players since 1900 to homer 14 times in a span of 15 games. Jhoulys Chacin (9-9) threw 111 pitches over eight innings and was pulled three outs shy of his first big league shutout and complete game.
