Runaway train: Yankees flatten Mets, Santana
NEW YORK - Derek Jeter and the New York Yankees hammered Johan Santana in the worst start of his career, routing the Mets, 15-0, yesterday for the worst blowout in Subway Series history.
NEW YORK - Derek Jeter and the New York Yankees hammered Johan Santana in the worst start of his career, routing the Mets, 15-0, yesterday for the worst blowout in Subway Series history.
Jeter went 4 for 4, and the Yankees got two-run homers from Hideki Matsui and Robinson Cano in a nine-run fourth inning, chasing Santana early to take two of three at Yankee Stadium.
Mets closer Francisco Rodriguez shouted at Yankees reliever Brian Bruney in left field during batting practice, and the two were separated by teammates, one day after they exchanged barbs through the media.
Once the first pitch was thrown, the Yankees provided all the fireworks.
They needed only four innings to set a season high for runs in a game, building a huge cushion for A.J. Burnett (5-3). They finished with 17 hits - three by No. 9 batter Francisco Cervelli - and pulled several stars before the seventh.
Mets manager Jerry Manuel wasn't around at the end, either. He was ejected by plate umpire Jim Wolf for arguing after David Wright took exception to a called third strike in the sixth.
Santana (8-4) didn't look right all day. The velocity on his fastball was down, around 89-90 m.p.h., and he was touched up for four two-out runs in the second.

TORONTO - Ronny Paulino hit two home runs, Josh Johnson pitched his first complete game of the season, and Florida completed a sweep of Toronto.

This was the third time the Marlins had swept Toronto in a three-game series.

Orioles 11, Braves 2
BALTIMORE - Ty Wigginton hit two home runs, Robert Andino drove in three runs and stole home, and Brad Bergesen pitched his first complete game to lead Baltimore over Atlanta.
The Orioles have scored 19 runs in the last two games, after scoring just 19 runs in the previous 11 games.
The revival came from some unlikely sources. Andino, who is replacing Cesar Izturis due to his recent appendectomy, had three RBIs in his first 70 at-bats. He had a bases-loaded walk in the third and a two-run double in the fourth.

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. - Pinch-hitter Willy Aybar got a lucky bounce for a double in the eighth, and Tampa Bay completed a sweep of lowly Washington.
Carlos Pena opened the eighth with a double off Ron Villone (3-3). After Ben Zobrist struck out, Aybar hit a ball down the line that hit third base and angled away from third baseman Willie Harris into left field for a run-scoring double.

Royals 7, Reds 1
KANSAS CITY, Mo. - Brian Bannister pitched eight sharp innings, Miguel Olivo drove in four runs, and Kansas City took advantage of Cincinnati's sloppy fielding to cap a three-game sweep.
A pair of errors by third baseman Jerry Hairston Jr. helped the Royals score five unearned runs.
Bannister (5-3) gave up four hits, and the only run he allowed was unearned after a throwing error by shortstop Luis Hernandez in the first inning.
Bannister, who had allowed 19 runs and 23 hits in 132/3 innings in his previous three starts, retired 10 in a row and 17 of 18 after Hernandez's error.

ARLINGTON, Texas - Chad Billingsley earned his National League-best ninth victory, retiring 16 of 17 batters after an early error put Los Angeles behind, and Casey Blake drove in four runs to beat AL West-leading Texas.
After shortstop Rafael Furcal botched an inning-ending double play with a bad throw that allowed two runs in the first, Billingsley (9-3) set down everybody but Andruw Jones until Nelson Cruz had a leadoff single in the seventh.

ANAHEIM, Calif. - Juan Rivera homered twice, Jered Weaver pitched his first career shutout, and Los Angeles sealed a three-game sweep of San Diego.
Weaver (7-2) worked quickly on the mound and struck out five while giving up only five hits. He threw 119 pitches, 80 strikes, and won his fourth straight.
He got out of jams with spectacular fielding gems from teammates - Gary Matthews Jr. made up for a baserunning mistake when he made a diving catch on Henry Blanco's hit in the third, and Rivera robbed Kevin Kouzmanoff of a hit when chased down a long ball in left field in the fourth.

CLEVELAND - Cliff Lee threw seven innings of no-hit ball before settling for a three-hitter to give Cleveland a win over St. Louis.
Lee (4-6) allowed only two first-inning walks until Yadier Molina opened the eighth with an opposite-field drive down the right-field line that hit off the wall for a double.
That broke a string of 20 in a row set down by the reigning AL Cy Young Award winner, who was bidding for the first no-hitter at Progressive Field and first by a Cleveland pitcher since Len Barker's perfect game against Toronto on May 15, 1981.
Penn product Mark DeRosa hit a two-run homer in the first, and Kelly Shoppach got a solo shot in the fifth off Chris Carpenter (4-1), who won the NL Cy Young in 2005.
