ROUNDUP

Share

at New York 14, Chicago 3: The Yankees roughed up Mark Buehrle, who lasted only three-plus innings, giving up eight runs -- seven earned -- and eight hits. “Every pitch is up,” Manager Ozzie Guillen said. “The way I see it, the cutter is not cutting, the changeup is not changing and the fastball is not fast.”

at Toronto 7, Seattle 6: Bengie Molina wanted to end the game more than anybody after catching 14 innings. His run-scoring single in the bottom half of the inning did just that. “The first thing that I thought was finally, finally somebody wins,” he said.

*

at Detroit 6, Kansas City 0: Justin Verlander gave up two hits over seven innings to help the Tigers improve to 11-0 against the Royals this season. He retired 11 consecutive batters from the third to the seventh innings before Matt Stairs reached on catcher’s interference with one out in the seventh.

at Minnesota 6, Cleveland 2: Mixing a dominant fastball with a superb slider and changeup, Johan Santana gave up five hits in seven innings for the Twins. He retired 15 of the first 17 batters.
