D-Backs win fourth straight

By The Associated Press

OAKLAND, Calif. " Stephen Drew singled in the go-ahead run in the top of the 11th and the Arizona Diamondbacks won their season-high fourth straight game, 8-7.

Oakland's Jason Giambi hit his 400th career home run, becoming the 44th player in major league history to reach the mark. Jack Cust, Adam Kennedy and Nomar Garciaparra also connected as the A's pounded former ace Dan Haren, but still couldn't pull out the win.

Mark Reynolds added a two-run double in the 11th off Santiago Casilla, Oakland's seventh pitcher, and Tony Pena (4-1) pitched the 10th inning for the victory.

Arizona rallied against loser Craig Breslow (0-1) and improved to 6-2 during its three-city road trip that winds up Sunday.

Chad Qualls finished for his 11th save.

Giants 5, Mariners 1

SEATTLE " Juan Uribe got the big hit San Francisco had been missing, a two-out bases-clearing double in a five-run eighth inning, and Matt Cain tossed his first complete game this season in the Giants' win.

On a maddening streak of failing to come up with a clutch hit, Uribe gave the Giants just that.

With two outs and the bases loaded, Uribe lined a 1-0 pitch from Seattle reliever Mark Lowe to the wall in right-center field, scoring all three runners and ending the their 3-for-35 slump with runners in scoring position.

Following Uribe's double, Fred Lewis slugged a two-run homer off Lowe (0-2).

The rally helped Cain (5-1) win his third straight decision.

Cain gave up 10 hits, struck out seven and walked none, winning for just the fourth time in 12 interleague starts.

San Francisco's Pablo Sandoval left Saturday night's game against Seattle in the eighth inning with a strained right elbow and the infielder/catcher won't play in Sunday's interleague finale.

Sandoval hurt the elbow making a throw from his knees in Friday's 12 inning loss to the Mariners. He was the designated hitter on Saturday, but the elbow continued to bother him at the plate.

Sandoval is hitting .304 with three homers, 13 doubles and 17 RBIs for the Giants.

Yankees 5, Phillies 4

NEW YORK " Alex Rodriguez hit a tying homer off Brad Lidge in the ninth inning and Melky Cabrera capped the three-run rally with an RBI single, giving New York a victory over Philadelphia.

Rodriguez smacked a full-count pitch over the short porch in right for his seventh homer after missing the first 28 games following hip surgery. Jose Veras (3-1) got one out in the ninth for the win.

Rangers 6, Astros 3

HOUSTON " Nelson Cruz homered twice and Hank Blalock also connected as the Rangers won their second straight.

Scott Feldman pitched a season-high 6 2-3 innings and Blalock finished with three hits for the Rangers.

Cardinals 5, Royals 0

ST. LOUIS " Kyle Lohse threw eight innings of four-hit ball and the Cardinals shut out Kansas City for the second straight time, giving the rotation fifth straight dominant outing.

Lohse (4-3) struck out six with no walks, shaking off three straight losses to start the month. Cardinals starters have allowed one run in 36.2 innings during a five-game winning streak.

Mets 3, Red Sox 2

BOSTON " Omir Santos hit a two-run homer off Jonathan Papelbon with two outs in the ninth inning, a drive that was initially ruled a double, and New York rallied to beat Boston.

The long flyball to left field bounced off the shelf above the Green Monster and was called a double. But after the umpires went into the tunnel for the television replay crew chief Joe West came out and signaled for a home run.

White Sox 4, Pirates 0

CHICAGO " Clayton Richard struck out a career-high eight over six innings, Alexei Ramirez homered in his second straight game and the Chicago White Sox shut out the Pittsburgh Pirates again.

Twins 6, Brewers 2
