 Orioles 8, White Sox 2
The Baltimore Orioles took barely two hours to beat the Chicago
White Sox 8-2 in the first ever major league game not open to the
public.
In an eerily quiet Oriole Park at Camden Yards, just a few miles
from where rioters trashed, burned and looted only two nights
before, Chris Davis hit a three-run homer in the first inning and
starter Ubaldo Jimenez pitched seven strong innings as the Orioles
won their third straight.
The gates were closed to the public over safety concerns.

Rays 3, Yankees 2 (13 innings)
First baseman James Loney singled with two outs in the top of the
13th inning, lifting Tampa Bay to a 3-2 victory over New York, the
first win by the Rays in six meetings against the Yankees this year.
Loney's hit continued his dominance at Yankee Stadium, where he has
a .418 average (41-for-98).

Tigers 10, Twins 7
Miguel Cabrera had three hits, including two home runs, to help the
Detroit Tigers erase a four-run deficit and beat the Minnesota Twins
10-7.
Cabrera hit a solo homer in the sixth inning before launching a
two-run shot over the center field fence in the ninth. He also came
within a few feet of hitting another homer in the fourth, settling
for an RBI double instead.

Brewers 8, Reds 3
Ryan Braun homered twice, including an eighth-inning grand slam, and
first baseman Adam Lind and left fielder Khris Davis added solo

Cincinnati Reds.
Milwaukee (5-17) hit three homers off Reds right-hander Michael
Lorenzen, who made his major league debut.

Astros 7, Padres 2
Colby Rasmus slugged a two-run homer in the fourth inning and the
Houston Astros beat San Diego 7-2 to complete a three-game sweep of
the Padres, who lost for the seventh time in eight games.
It was the sixth straight win for the Astros (14-7), who are 10-2 on
the road this season -- a franchise record for the first 12 games.

Right-hander Gerrit Cole improved to 4-0 on the season with a strong
six-inning effort as the Pittsburgh Pirates beat the Chicago Cubs

Cole, now 8-0 since Sept. 7, gave up one unearned run on three hits
and one walk while striking out eight.

Marlins 7, Mets 3
Right fielder Giancarlo Stanton drove in three runs and the Miami
Marlins beat the New York Mets 7-3 to take two of the three-game
series.
But the Mets (15-7) still lead the National League East. The loss
went to Bartolo Colon (4-1), who nonetheless extended his streak of
not allowing a walk to 26 2/3 innings.

run before May 1, leading Boston to a 4-1 victory over the Toronto
Blue Jays.

surrendered 34 runs over the previous three games.
