AMERICAN LEAGUE : Jacoby Ends Another Boston Marathon in 13th

Kenya’s Ibraham Hussein won the Boston Marathon Monday in 1 1/2 hours less time than it took the Cleveland Indians to score the only run in a 1-0 victory over the Red Sox several blocks from the finish line.

Brook Jacoby’s home run in the 13th inning over the screen in left field ended the 3-hour 45-minute game and made Steve Olin (1-0) the winning pitcher, with help from Doug Jones, who recorded his third save.

“I was wondering if anyone would ever score,” Jacoby said. “In that situation, I was just looking for a ball up and over the plate. It was a good pitch to hit.”

It was delivered by Dennis Lamp (0-1), the fourth Boston pitcher, with one out, and it came long after Cleveland’s Charles Nagy and the Red Sox’s Matt Young had hooked up in a pitching duel.

Nagy allowed four hits in 8 1/3 innings before getting relief help from Olin in the ninth. Olin got out of a mild jam on a double play, then retired the next nine batters in order before giving way to Jones.

Young gave up only two singles in nine innings, but struggled because of six walks. He was followed by Jeff Gray and Joe Hesketh before Lamp took over in the 13th.

Jones ended the longest scoreless game at Fenway Park since 1983 by getting out of a jam with a groundout and pop-up with two on in the 13th inning.

Baltimore 7, Milwaukee 2--Sam Horn hit a grand slam and former Houston Astro Glenn Davis got his first American League homer for the Orioles at Milwaukee.

Cal Ripken added a two-run homer, his third of the season, and two singles as the Orioles handed Chris Bosio his first loss in April since 1988.

Bosio (1-1), who had won eight in a row in April, allowed only four hits over seven innings but left the game trailing, 3-2.

Baltimore starter Jose Mesa (1-1) went 5 1/3 innings, leaving after giving up a double to Gary Sheffield, a walk to Greg Brock and a double to Dante Bichette that made it 3-2.

Greg Vaughn drew a walk off reliever Mike Flanagan to load the bases, but pinch-hitter Willie Randolph hit into a double play.

Chicago 6, New York 5--The Chicago White Sox remained baseball’s only unbeaten team, winning their fifth game in a row on the road and spoiling the Yankees’ home opener.

It is Chicago’s best start since 1982, when it won eight in a row. The White Sox open the new Comiskey Park Thursday.

Robin Ventura and Scott Fletcher, who went four for four, each hit two-run homers early off Scott Sanderson before Frank Thomas’ single in the seventh made it 5-4.

Greg Hibbard (2-0) gave up four hits, all in succession and capped by Kevin Maas’ three-run homer in the third inning, and left after a leadoff walk in the eighth.

Bobby Thigpen, Chicago’s fourth pitcher in the eighth, went 1 1/3 innings for his third save, striking out Steve Sax with the bases loaded to end the game.

Greg Cadaret (0-2) took the loss.

Toronto 4, Detroit 3--Kelly Gruber homered for the second consecutive game and the Blue Jays won at Detroit for their best start since 1984.

Toronto leads the American League East with a 6-2 record, topping its previous eight-game best of 5-3 in 1977 and 1984.

Todd Stottlemyre (1-0) allowed two runs--only one of them earned--on four hits in six innings. He struck out eight and walked five. Jim Acker pitched two innings and Duane Ward finished the five-hitter for his first save.

Seattle 8, Minnesota 4--The Mariners won their first game of the season behind home runs from Edgar Martinez and Tracy Jones.

Randy Johnson (1-1) scattered seven hits at Seattle and struck out six to end the worst start in the Mariners’ 15-year history.

Martinez gave Seattle a 3-0 lead in the first inning off Allan Anderson (1-1) with his second home run of the season.
