AMERICAN LEAGUE CAPSULES: Mariners top Twins in extra

DETROIT (AP) - Armando Galarraga of the Detroit Tigers lost his bid for a perfect game Wednesday night with two outs in the ninth inning on a call that first base umpire Jim Joyce later admitted he blew.

First baseman Miguel Cabrera cleanly fielded Jason Donald's grounder to his right and made an accurate throw to Galarraga covering the bag. The ball was there in time, and all of Comerica Park was ready to celebrate the 3-0 win over Cleveland, until Joyce emphatically signaled safe.

The veteran ump regretted it.

Tigers manager Jim Leyland immediately argued the call and was joined by several of his players after the final out. Galarraga was trying to pitch the third perfect game in the majors this season.

Fausto Carmona (4-4) pitched well. He gave up three runs - two earned - on nine hits and no walks.

Mariners 2, Twins 1, 10 innings

SEATTLE (AP) - Ryan Langerhans scored from second base on an infield single by Ichiro Suzuki with two outs in the bottom of the 10th and the Mariners won their first extra-inning game of the season over the Twins.

Just hours after Ken Griffey Jr., the greatest player in Mariners' history, announced his sudden retirement, arguably the player next in the pecking order came through.

On the 11th pitch of the at-bat from reliever Jose Mijeras, Suzuki hit a ground ball up the middle. Matt Tolbert made a diving stop and attempted to force Josh Wilson at second base. But his flip to shortstop J.J. Hardy was late and Langerhans never stopped rounding third and scored easily.

Rays 7, Blue Jays 3

TORONTO (AP) - David Price became the American League's first eight-game winner, Carl Crawford hit a grand slam and the Rays rallied in the ninth inning again, beating the Blue Jays.

Price (8-2), who has won six of his past seven decisions, allowed two runs, none earned, and nine hits in eight innings. He walked none and struck out three.

One night after Blue Jays closer Kevin Gregg walked five in the ninth as the Rays came back from a 5-3 deficit to win 7-6, Tampa Bay needed some late heroics again, erasing a 2-1 lead in its last at-bat.

It was the third time this season the Rays have won when trailing after eight innings. They also did it on Opening Day against Baltimore. Yankees 9, Orioles 1

NEW YORK (AP) - Nick Swisher and Curtis Granderson hit two-run doubles in the second inning to back another stingy start by Phil Hughes, and the Yankees handed the Orioles their seventh straight loss.

Robinson Cano hit a two-run homer in the seventh and ran his hitting streak to 16 games for New York, which had 14 hits. Jorge Posada returned to the lineup after sitting out since May 16 with a broken bone in his right foot and went 1 for 3 with a walk.

Fielding a nearly complete opening-day lineup for the first time in several weeks, the Yankees pounced on Brad Beregesen (3-4) for six runs in 2 1-3 innings and beat Baltimore for the seventh straight time. Red Sox 6, Athletics 4

BOSTON (AP) - David Ortiz hit a two-run homer to help Boston rally for the second straight game, and Daisuke Matsuzaka settled down to beat the Athletics.

One night after scoring nine straight runs to overcome a 4-0 deficit, the Red Sox spotted the A's three runs in the top of the first and then scored the next six. Kevin Youkilis had a two-run single in the first inning, then Ortiz made it 4-3 in the fifth with a drive down the right-field line.

Matsuzaka (4-2) allowed 10 hits and walked none, striking out seven in all. He gave up back-to-back doubles to Daric Barton and Ryan Sweeney before Kurt Suzuki's two-run homer in the first gave Oakland a 3-0 lead.

Ben Sheets (2-4) took the loss. Angels 7, Royals 2

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) - Torii Hunter homered and drove in three runs, and Scott Kazmir bounced back from a rocky previous start to lead the Angels to a win over the Royals.

Hunter had a two-run single off Kyle Davies (4-4) in the first inning and added his eighth homer in the seventh to end a 4-for-26 slump. Bobby Abreu hit his 500th career double and the Angels had 14 hits to beat Kansas City for the 11th time in 13 games over two seasons.

Kazmir (4-5) was good when he needed to be after giving up five runs against Seattle the last time out, helping Los Angeles win for the sixth time in eight games and stay close to the AL Central lead after a ragged start to the season. Rangers 9, White Sox 5

CHICAGO (AP) - Matt Treanor homered and drove in a career-high four runs, and the Rangers beat the White Sox after losing Vladimir Guerrero to an eye injury during batting practice.

Guerrero, the designated hitter, was scratched from the lineup after a ball he hit ricocheted off the cage and struck him above the left eye. The Rangers said the eight-time All-Star had "significant swelling," but X-rays showed no structural damage. He is day-to-day.

Even without its best hitter, Texas still managed to pound Gavin Floyd (2-6).

Treanor capped a three-run first with a two-run bases-loaded double, and led off the third with his third homer. He was also robbed in the sixth when right fielder Carlos Quentin raced back for a lunging catch on his sacrifice fly.
