Yanks avoid sweep in Seattle

SEATTLE - Even though it came on a day CC Sabathia didn't need much, he's not going to complain about the run support he has been receiving.

"I don't think anybody has realized it yet, but I know," the Yankees ace said as he continued his domination of the Seattle Mariners on Sunday while Andruw Jones provided the big blow with a bases-clearing double as New York avoided a three-game sweep with a 7-1 win.

Sabathia (6-3) allowed just one run in eight innings, and was again the Yankees' stopper. He won for the third time in four tries when pitching after a loss, allowing just two hits through five innings before giving up a solo homer to Seattle's Justin Smoak in the sixth inning.

He also won for the sixth straight time against the Mariners and improved to 8-1 in 11 starts at Safeco Field. He's gone at least eight innings in his last three starts - all wins - and gave up just five hits and struck out five on Sunday. In those last six starts against Seattle, Sabathia has a 0.82 ERA.

He was helped by a double play he started in the fifth inning when Seattle loaded the bases with just one out and Ichiro Suzuki at the plate. Sabathia got Suzuki to tap into a 1-2-3 double play that ended the threat.

"He just knows how to pitch. He knows how to give us distance, he knows what to do and he takes it upon himself that 'I'm going to go out and do it for you,' " Yankees manager Joe Girardi said. "When CC gets into a little bit of a jam there is no panic to him. He's going to continue to execute pitches."

Nick Swisher added his third homer of the season as the Yankees knocked around Seattle starter Jason Vargas for six runs in just three innings and salvaged one game in the first stop of a three-city, nine-game West Coast trip.

And the Yankees nearly hit their average of run support when Sabathia is on the mound. He entered Sunday getting the second-most offensive help in the majors at nearly 71/2 runs per game.

"It's a step in the right direction. I've been working really hard and feel like I can get back to form," Swisher said. "We've got our big boy on the mound. You feel like you give him more than two runs you're going to win the ball game."

Swisher lined his homer in the second inning into the Yankees' bullpen to give New York an early lead for the third straight day. But it was Jones' double off Vargas (3-3) that broke the game open.

All three of Vargas' losses have come at home and his home ERA ballooned to 4.75 after giving up the six earned runs on Sunday.

Vargas in the only Mariners pitcher this season to fail to go at least four innings. He also got rocked in their home opener against Cleveland was done after 31/3 innings that night.

DETROIT - David Ortiz hit a ninth-inning, pinch-hit home run in Boston's win over Detroit in the opener of a day-night doubleheader, but the Red Sox were blanked in the second game.

Ortiz, hitting for Jarrod Saltalamacchia, worked a full count against Tigers closer Jose Valverde, then hit a line drive over the scoreboard in right-center.

"I don't like pinch-hitting too much, but I did just what I do as a DH," he said. "I went to the cages, took some swings, and got loose."

Matt Albers (1-2) picked up the win with two shutout innings of relief, while Valverde (2-2) took the loss. Jonathan Papelbon pitched a perfect ninth for his 10th save.

In the second game, Justin Verlander went 72/3 innings for the win, and Valverde pitched the ninth inning for his 12th save.

Angels 6, Twins 5

MINNEAPOLIS - Erick Aybar had three hits and three RBIs and Dan Haren picked up his first win since April 17 in Los Angeles' win over Minnesota.

One night after Anthony Swarzak took a no hitter into the eighth inning for the Twins and the Angels' Jered Weaver allowed just two hits in nine innings of a game the Twins won, 1-0, in the 10th, Haren and Twins starter Carl Pavano were grinders.

Haren (5-3) gave up three runs on 10 hits with one walk in six innings, and Scott Downs got the Angels out of Haren's two-on, no out jam in the seventh inning to help Los Angeles take two of three in the series.

And Pavano (2-5) gave up five runs, four earned, on 10 hits with three strikeouts for the Twins, who dropped to a major league-worst 17-34.

Mark Trumbo hit a 436-foot homer in the ninth and Jordan Walden picked up his 12th save.

Trumbo's blast in the ninth against fireballer Jim Hoey proved to be pivotal. He turned on a 94-m.p.h. fastball and sent it into the second deck in left-center field for his ninth homer of the year.
