Saturday’s other mlb games

AMERICAN LEAGUE

Royals 7, Yankees 4

NEW YORK

Jose Guillen homered and drove in two runs, Rick Ankiel also had a pair of RBIs and the Kansas City Royals pounded spot starter Sergio Mitry. Kyle Davies (5-6) served up a pair of home runs to Mark Teixeira and another to Jorge Posada, but otherwise held the hot-hitting Yankees in check on a sweltering afternoon in the Bronx. Davies survived 5 1/3 innings to win for the first time since May 28. Alex Rodriguez was 1 for 4 and remained stuck on 599 home runs for the second straight day. The Yankees slugger flew out in the first, singled in the fourth and grounded out in the fifth against Davies, who was responsible for Rodriguez’s 500th home run on Aug. 4, 2007.

Blue Jays 3, Tigers 2

DETROIT

Jose Bautista drove in a pair of runs to help the Blue Jays to a win over the Tigers, who lost Magglio Ordonez to a fractured ankle.

Twins 7, Orioles 2

BALTIMORE

Delmon Young went 4-for-4 with a homer and three RBIs, and the Twins received an impressive pitching performance from Scott Baker in a victory over the Orioles. The four hits tied a career high for Young, who is batting .429 with four homers and 22 RBIs in July.

Athletics 10, White Sox 2

OAKLAND, Calif.

Jack Cust hit two home runs, Kurt Suzuki added a homer of his own for the Athletics. Suzuki, who agreed to terms on a four-year deal with the A’s Friday, helped the A’s win for the eighth time in 10 games. Daric Barton also drove in two runs, and Kevin Kouzmanoff doubled twice and drove in a run Freddy Garcia (9-4) lasted a career-low 1 2-3 innings and had his personal six-game winning streak snapped. He gave up five runs on six hits, walking three and striking out two as the White Sox lost for the fifth time in 17 games.

NATIONAL LEAGUE

Phillies 10, Rockies 2

PHILADELPHIA

Ryan Howard hit a bases-loaded triple and Jimmy Rollins had a two-run triple in a seven-run third inning and the Philadelphia Phillies handed Ubaldo Jimenez one of the worst losses of his career. Kyle Kendrick (6-4) returned from his demotion to Triple-A Lehigh Valley and gave up a run and seven hits in seven innings for Philadelphia.

Cubs 6, Cardinals 5

CHICAGO

Rookies Tyler Colvin and Starlin Castro homered Saturday, completing a successful week at the top of Chicago’s order and helping the Cubs to a victory over the Cardinals. The Cardinals finally scored after being shut out the previous two days but still followed an eight-game winning streak with their third straight loss.

Dodgers 3, Mets 2, 13 innings

LOS ANGELES

James Loney homered in the 13th inning, giving the Dodgers a victory over the Mets. Oliver Perez (0-4), starting his second inning of relief, retired Matt Kemp on a broken-bat flyball before Loney drove a 1-0 pitch into the pavilion seats in right-center. Loney’s homer was timely because the Dodgers had no true relievers left in the Los Angeles bullpen. Much-maligned reliever George Sherrill (1-1), the ninth Dodgers pitcher, worked a perfect inning.
