the win.

24. The only run he allowed came on a home run from Mark Teixeira in
the second inning. Heaney recorded his first big league win.
The Angels offense didn't do much with Yankees starter Ivan Nova,
but back-to-back home runs by Albert Pujols and Erick Aybar in the
sixth were enough to help Los Angeles win its fourth in a row.

PHOENIX -- Howie Kendrick homered to open the 10th inning, and
Yasmani Grandal added a two-out, two-run double in Los Angeles'

seventh inning, hit a 1-0 pitch from David Hernandez (0-1) for his

season, and had four RBIs. Both of the switch-hitting catcher's hits
were to the opposite field.

OAKLAND, Calif. -- Jorge De La Rosa pitched seven shutout innings,
and Colorado ended its three-game losing streak with a victory over

after losing their first seven. They also ended their streak of 14
consecutive interleague road losses, which fell one shy of tying the
major league record.

active streak in the major leagues, with a fourth-inning single.
Shortstop Troy Tulowitzki extended his hitting streak to 14 games --
baseball's second longest -- with a fourth-inning single.
