AROUND THE HORN Friday's other games

INTERLEAGUE
Cubs 6, White Sox 2
CHICAGO -- Carlos Zambrano settled down after a shaky first -- benefiting when umpires reversed an initial call and ruled a grand slam foul -- and pitched the Cubs over the White Sox. Zambrano (9-3) allowed two hits in 6 1-3 innings before leaving in the seventh with a cramp in his right forearm after throwing 123 pitches. The Cubs finished with 12 hits and ended the White Sox's five-game winning streak. Zambrano surrendered a two-run, bases-loaded double in the first to Ross Gload, who one pitch earlier nearly had a grand slam when his drive to right was initially ruled fair, then overturned. Mark Grudzielanek singled and Corey Patterson doubled in the third off Esteban Loaiza (8-4) before Sosa hit a go-ahead, two-run single.
Expos 2, Blue Jays 0
SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico -- Livan Hernandez pitched a four-hitter for his fourth complete game of the season and Tony Batista drove in two runs. Hernandez (6-7) struck out five and walked one to beat David Bush, who lost in his major league debut. Bush allowed one run and four hits in 5 2-3 innings with four strikeouts and one walk. The game drew 8,220, well below the 19,000 capacity of Hiram Bithorn Stadium. After allowing a leadoff double to Frank Menechino, Hernandez retired 11 straight hitters before Eric Hinske's single in the fourth.
Devil Rays 4, Marlins 2
MIAMI -- Aubrey Huff hit his 11th homer of the season and drove in three runs. Huff's two-out, two-run shot to straightaway center off Carl Pavano broke a 2-all tie. Huff also had an RBI single in Tampa Bay's two-run third. Mike Lowell hit his 19th homer for Florida, which has lost 10 of 14. Pavano (9-3) lost for the first time in eight starts. He gave up four runs and a season-high 12 hits in seven innings. Jesus Colome (2-1) pitched 1 2/3 innings of one-hit relief and Danys Baez got four outs for his 16th save in 18 chances.
Astros 7, Rangers 5
HOUSTON -- Morgan Ensberg hit a two-run homer in the eighth inning, his first of the season. Carlos Beltran had an RBI in his home debut for Houston, and Roy Oswalt (7-6) earned his 50th career win. Lance Berkman singled in a run and snatched away Alfonso Soriano's bid for a homer in the fourth with a terrific leaping catch. Ensberg's shot to left off Carlos Almanzar (6-1), which almost sailed out of the park, was his first home run since Sept. 27. Texas' David Dellucci hit a two-out, two-run homer in the eighth to tie the game at 5. Brad Lidge pitched a perfect ninth for his fifth save in seven chances.
Mets 11, Yankees 2
NEW YORK -- Kaz Matsui homered twice and drove in five runs to help the Mets stop Mike Mussina's eight-game winning streak. Derek Jeter started for the Yankees a day after a dangerous dive into the stands sent him to the hospital. Steve Trachsel (8-6) did not allow an earned run over seven innings in stopping the Yankees' five-game winning streak. Mussina (9-5) left for a pinch-hitter in the sixth with the Mets ahead 7-0. The Mets evened the Subway Series at 2-all this year, and none of the games have been close. Richard Hidalgo homered and added an RBI double, and every Mets starter had a hit and scored.
Braves 6, Red Sox 3, 12 innings
ATLANTA -- Nick Green hit a tying sacrifice fly off Keith Foulke in the 10th inning, then hit a three-run homer off Anastacio Martinez (2-1) in the 12th. A night after Boston couldn't hold a 4-3 lead in the 13th inning of a 5-4 loss at Yankee Stadium, the Red Sox stumbled again. Nomar Garciaparra, who couldn't play Thursday because of his ailing right foot, grounded into an inning-ending double play in the 10th after Manny Ramirez put Boston ahead 3-2 with an RBI single off Kevin Gryboski following an intentional walk to David Ortiz. Ramirez struck out four times, ending the top of the 12th by fanning against Juan Cruz (2-0) with runners on first and second.
Rockies 9, Tigers 8, 10 innings
DENVER -- Charles Johnson tied it on a three-run homer with two outs in the ninth inning, and Colorado scored twice in the 10th on bunt singles, ending a five-game losing streak. The Tigers led 7-4 heading into the bottom of the ninth, but closer Ugueth Urbina gave up a single to Todd Helton and walked Larry Walker. Detroit went up 8-7 in the 10th when Shawn Chacon (1-5) allowed a homer to Marcus Thames, who hit his first homer since last July 17 with Texas at Tampa Bay. Matt Holliday led off the bottom half with a double off Jamie Walker (1-3). Aaron Miles followed with a bunt single and Holliday scored when third baseman Jason Smith's throw sailed into right for an error.
