AMERICAN LEAGUE White Sox pummel Yanks; Twins tame Tigers

The Athletics nipped the Mariners, 2-1.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK -- Mark Buehrle kept the New York Yankees in their post-Japan slumber.
The left-hander shut down New York on three singles over eight innings, and Magglio Ordonez and Jose Valentin homered Saturday to lead the Chicago White Sox over the Yankees, 7-3.
New York's All-Star-laden lineup has scored just 16 runs in five games since its season-opening Tokyo trip, going 2-3 against Tampa Bay and the White Sox. Hideki Matsui exemplified New York's sluggishness on the sunny spring afternoon, running into trouble on the bases for the second day.
A day after he was picked off at second, Matsui hit what he thought was a foul dribbler up the first-base line in the seventh inning. Matsui didn't run at first, but the ball kicked back fair. By then, it was too late and he was tagged out at the bag by Buehrle.

Athletics 2, Mariners 1
OAKLAND, Calif. -- Tim Hudson pitched a four-hitter for the first complete game in the majors this season and the Oakland Athletics sent the Seattle Mariners to their fifth straight loss. Marco Scutaro had two hits, an RBI and scored a run for the A's, who have won the AL West the last two seasons and are off to a strong start this year at 4-1.
Hudson (1-0) threw only 86 pitches and retired his final 11 batters. He struck out two, working ahead in the count and getting routine groundball outs. It was his 14th career complete game and first since Aug. 11 last year against Boston.
The Mariners, meanwhile, are looking for answers. Seattle is the only winless team in the majors.
Swept by the Anaheim Angels at Safeco Field to start the season, the Mariners are 0-5 for the first time since beginning the 1994 season with five straight losses. Their longest losing streak to start the season was 0-6 in 1991.
