Yanks win as Seattle conceded 16th straight
Yankees held the lead against Mariners throughout the entire meeting, opening the score in the first inning through Teixeira who fired a 425 footer, being followed by Granderson who doubled the lead right afterwards. Visitors’ first reply came in the third term through Smoak who cut the deficit to one point after Suzuki hit a sacrifice fly to center. Unfortunately, that was the best showing the Mariners could provide. From then on Yankees kept them at least six points below.
Thus, Jeter made it 3-1 with a 363 footer which opened a seven-point rally for the Yanks. The fourth term saw them score five more points, starting with Martin who put his side three points ahead after Nunez singled to center. Gardner then singled to right, allowing Jones to make it even 5-1, while two big errors cost Seattle one more point in the same term.
Gardner scored another point after Granderson sacrificed to center, while Jeter scored the last point of the fourth inning, following Teixeira’s singling to left. The fifth round went scoreless for both sides, but things looked clear as possible for the hosts who would score one more point in the sixth through the same Gardner who made it 9-1 after Granderson sacrificed to center.
Seattle consoled themselves with two more points scored in the seventh and eighth terms by Carp and Suzuki respectively. The last word belonged to the same New York though who closed out the win through Nunez who made it ten after Jeter tripled to right in the same eighth round.
Said manager Eric Wedge who still cannot explain Mariners’ freefall: “They’re staying together with this thing, it’s just a hell of a thing we’re going through right now. We just got to keep showing up and doing different things and trying different things to try and get back on track.”
Vargas also looked pretty disappointed at the end of the 16th straight failure claiming that “I did my best out there to try to limit what was going on but nothing was going right for us.” New York are second in the East with a .600 percentage including 60 wins and 40 losses, the victory over Seattle being their second in a row and seventh in the past ten games. On the other side, Mariners lie foot of the table in the West with a .422 poor record including 43 wins and 59 defeats, the loss to Yanks being their 32nd on the road.
Chicago White Sox 6 – 3 Detroit Tigers
Chicago grabbed their 50th win of the season when the Sox beat leaders Detroit at the US Cellular Field on Monday night. Although they were led 0-2 at one point in the third term, Sox’s five-point midway rally helped them to pick a comprehensive win in the end. The first innings went scoreless for both sides, while the third one saw the two exchange three points.
Martinez singled to center as Ordonez brought the first lead of the night for Tigers, with Cabrera getting to third. Cabrera then doubled the lead after Peralta singled to center and Martinez got to third. But that was also the turning point of the game as the visitors wouldn’t score any point until the seventh term.
Konerko sacrificed to center in the same round as Morel cut the deficit to one point, but also started the five-point run Chicago managed to provide in the fifth and sixth. Pierre evened the situation after Ramirez singled to center in the fifth, while the same Ramirez and Konerko made it 4-2 minutes later, after Quentin hit a ground rule double to left.
Finally, Pierzynski ended the session with a 404 footer for a three point lead. Detroit struggled for a comeback but they could only score one more point in the seventh through Cabrera who homered a 382 footer. Nevertheless, the last word belonged to the same Chicago who made it 6-3 in the same round through Konerko who fired a 402-foot homerun.
White Sox remain third though in the Central, 3.5 behind the leaders, with a .495 record which features 50 wins and 51 defeats, the victory over Detroit being their third in a row, sixth in the past ten games and 22nd at home. Tigers are top with a .529 percentage including 54 wins and 48 defeats, the loss to Chicago being their fifth in the past ten games and 26th on the road where they have finally switches positive, something which allows Cleveland to stay right behind them.
Los Angeles Dodgers 8 – 5 Colorado Rockies
Dodgers continue their positive performance as LA have grabbed their third straight win when they defeated Rockies at the Dodger stadium on Monday night. Despite a slow start which saw Rokies open the score in the second term through Iannetta, Dodgers replied with a eight-point midway rally which also helped them stun the visitors.
Miles doubled to left in the third inning as Furcal evened the score at one, while Ethier, who fired a 431 footer, and Miles made it 3-1 minutes later. The next two terms went dry for both teams, while the sixth one saw the same Dodgers extend the lead to four points through Ethier, who made it 4-1 after Rivera doubled to left, and Rivera who put his side well above their opponents, following Navarro’s single to center.
The seventh round also went scoreless, but the hosts would score three more points in the eighth. Furcal grounded into fielder’s choice as Navarro made it six. Miles then singled to right as Furcal made things look clear as possible for Los Angeles. Finally, Furcal was the last score for Dodgers, following Ethier’s single to left.
The ninth term saw Colorado go three points behind and provide a four-point late rally, but without being able to level back the situation. Stewart grounded out to shortstop as Smith scored a second point for the visitors, while Young Jr. made it 3-8 following Fowler’s singling to right. Finally, Iannetta scored a fourth one also thanks to a throwing error committed by second baseman Carroll, while Spilborghs closed out the game with a fifth meaningless point which followed Helton’s walk.
Los Angeles are second from the bottom in the West with a .451 record which keeps them 13 gamesback behind leaders Giants, and which includes only 46 wins and 56 defeats.

But on the contrary, they were held in the sixth term as Kansas eventually pushed the meeting into a 14-term run.
Butler doubled to left, allowing Cabrera to even the score. The two sides then went head to head with their sheets clean until the fifth extra-inning which saw the same Royals score a couple of more points, including the winner. Aviles sacrificed to second as Hosmer made it 2-1, while Francoeur gave his side the hard fought victory after Escobar hit a sacrifice fly to center in the same inning.
