MLB ROUNDUP Thursday's other games

AMERICAN LEAGUE
Blue Jays 6, Twins 3
TORONTO -- Gustavo Chacin made a strong first start, Jason Phillips hit a tiebreaking double and B.J. Ryan got his second save. Chacin (1-0) allowed three runs and six hits in 6 2-3 innings. He struck out four and walked one. The left-hander went 13-9 with a 3.72 ERA in his rookie season. Ryan, signed to a $47 million, five-year contract -- the richest ever for a reliever -- entered in the ninth to loud cheers. He walked one and struck out one. Lyle Overbay tripled and hit an RBI single for the Blue Jays, who took two of three in the opening series. Despite all the offseason additions to Toronto's roster, attendance was just 16,221. Carlos Silva (0-1) allowed six runs -- five earned -- and five hits in 5 2-3 innings. Silva walked two -- his first game with more than one walk since Sept. 26, 2004 at Cleveland, a span of 28 starts.
Tigers 10, Rangers 6
ARLINGTON, Texas -- Knuckleballer R.A. Dickey (0-1) allowed six home runs, tying the post-1900 major league record in the Texas Rangers' 10-6 loss to the Tigers. Five of the homers were solo shots. The only major league pitcher to give up more homers was Charlie Sweeney of the St. Louis Maroons, who allowed seven at the Detroit Wolverines in an American Association game on June 12, 1886. Magglio Ordonez and Chris Shelton both homered twice for the Tigers.
Devil Rays 2, Orioles 0
BALTIMORE -- Mark Hendrickson pitched a three-hitter and the Tampa Bay Devil Rays won their first game for rookie manager Joe Maddon. After scoring 25 runs in the first two games of the three-game series, the Orioles failed to get a runner past second base against Hendrickson (1-0). The 6-foot-9 left-hander walked one and struck out five in his fifth career complete game -- the third against Baltimore.
NATIONAL LEAGUE
Cardinals 4, Phillies 2
PHILADELPHIA -- Jimmy Rollins' hitting streak is over. The Philadelphia Phillies' losing streak is not. Rollins went 0-for-4, ending his 38-game hitting streak that stretched over two seasons. After finishing with a 36-game hitting streak last year, Rollins kept up his pursuit of Joe DiMaggio's major league record 56-game streak with hits in his first two games this season. But he was hitless in three tries against Jason Marquis -- he's 3-for-25 against him -- and one at-bat against Josh Hancock. Rollins flied out to right field (first inning), left field (fifth) and center field (seventh), and was retired trying to bunt for a single in the third. Rollins was the fifth batter due up in the ninth, but Jason Isringhausen retired the side in order, getting Mike Lieberthal to ground out to third base to end the game. Rollins' season-ending 36-game hitting streak was the ninth-longest over one season in big league history, and the longest in the majors since 1987, when Paul Molitor hit safely in 39 consecutive games.
Giants 6, Braves 4
SAN FRANCISCO -- Pedro Feliz hit a three-run double in the Giants' six-run third and Ray Durham added a two-run single in the inning. Barry Bonds saw all of eight pitches to hit, and 14 total. He drew his first two intentional walks of the season, struck out and grounded weakly to first. Bonds, who made one catch in left field, stepped into the batter's box in the bottom of the first inning to roaring cheers and a standing ovation from his hometown fans. Atlanta starter Jorge Sosa (0-1) gave up seven hits and six runs in 2 1-3 innings. He struck out one and walked three. Giants starter Noah Lowry left in the second inning with a strained muscle in his lower back. Jeff Fassero (1-0) pitched 3 2/3 innings for the victory.
Mets 10, Nationals 5
NEW YORK -- Carlos Beltran homered and drove in four runs, and Carlos Delgado also connected for the Mets to help Pedro Martinez win his first start of the season. The game was interrupted by a near fight in the fifth inning. Jose Guillen pointed his bat at Martinez and charged halfway to the mound after getting hit by a pitch for the second time in the game.
Guillen was corralled by plate umpire Ted Barrett and Mets catcher Paul Lo Duca as the benches and bullpens emptied. Players ran onto the field quickly, but no punches were thrown. Martinez (1-0) gave up four hits and five runs in six innings. He also delivered a surprising RBI single.
