Final Score: Oakland 5, Texas 4 (10 innings)
Oakland, CA (Sports Network) – Hideki Matsui hit a solo homer in the bottom of the 10th inning to lift the Oakland Athletics to a 5-4 win over Texas in the finale of a four-game set at the Coliseum. Matsui finished with two runs batted in and Josh Willingham went 2-for-4 with a solo shot for the Athletics, who won three games in the series. Starter Brandon McCarthy worked six innings, allowing four unearned runs on six hits with two walks and four strikeouts. He also committed two errors in taking a no-decision. Michael Young had a two-run double and knocked in three for Texas, which has dropped six of eight. Derek Holland got the starting nod for the Rangers and yielded three runs — two earned — on eight hits over seven innings. The left-hander walked a pair and fanned four.
Final Score: New York 5, Detroit 3
Detroit, MI (Sports Network) – Nick Swisher delivered the go-ahead RBI single in a two-run ninth inning, lifting the New York Yankees to a 5-3 victory over Detroit in the opener of a four-game series. Mark Teixeira scored his second run of the game on Swisher’s single up the middle off Jose Valverde, and Alex Rodriguez came home on a passed ball two batters later. Bartolo Colon, trying for his third straight win, threw together another good start for the Yankees, giving up three runs on seven hits and striking out seven in seven innings. Joba Chamberlain (2-0) pitched around a single in the eighth to earn the win, and Mariano Rivera worked a perfect ninth for his league-leading 11th save.
Final Score: Boston 9, LA Angels of Anaheim 5
Boston, MA (Sports Network) – David Ortiz hit a two-run homer to cap a six- run seventh inning, as Boston denied Jered Weaver a piece of history and subdued the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, 9-5, in the first of a four-game set from Fenway Park. Weaver (6-1) was bidding to become the first pitcher since 1891 to win seven games by May 2. But the Sox led 3-2 after six, and when he was taken out in favor of Hisanori Takahashi, it all fell apart for the Halos. Adrian Gonzalez drove in three runs, while Kevin Youkilis and Dustin Pedroia knocked in two runs each for the Red Sox, who had dropped two of three to Seattle over the weekend. Clay Buchholz (2-3) worked 6 2/3 innings, allowing eight hits and two runs for the win. Vernon Wells hit a two-run shot and Bobby Abreu drove in a pair for the Angels, who had lost four in a row at home to the Sox in late April.
Final Score: Chicago 6, Baltimore 2
Chicago, IL (Sports Network) – Paul Konerko homered twice and drove in four runs, while Mark Buehrle pitched into the seventh inning as Chicago topped Baltimore, 6-2, in the finale of a four-game series. Alex Rios also homered for the White Sox, who halted a five-game slide and avoided a sweep. Buehrle (2-3) worked 6 2/3 innings for the win, giving up eight hits with four strikeouts. Derrek Lee had a two-run shot among his three hits for the Orioles, who had won five of six coming in. Jeremy Guthrie (1-4) was tagged for five hits and four runs over seven frames in defeat.
