Johan Santana lined his first major league homer, providing his own run support while pitching a three-hitter that led New York past Cincinnati. On a day when it hit a record 103 degrees in the city, San- tana steamed around the bas- es after capping a tenacious 12-pitch at-bat with his drive off the right field foul screen. That was all Santana need- ed to blank the team that led the NL in runs, homers and hit- ting. Santana struck out five and walked three in his sev- enth career shutout and first since 2008.

YANKEES 3, ATHLETICS 1 Late Monday


Mark Teixeira hit a solo ho-


mer, Curtis Granderson had an RBI triple and New York beat Oakland. Francisco Cervelli added an


RBI single as the Yankees gave Javier Vazquez all the offense he needed to end a three-start winless stretch. The RHP out- dueled Ben Sheets, the Athlet- ics’ $10 million man who has just one win over his last 11 outings.


New York increased its lead in the AL East to two games over Tampa Bay, which beat Boston to drop the Red Sox to 21


⁄2 games back.

Orioles succumb to Tigers as Damon goes deep in 11th

detroit — One day after playing a game in which everyone holding a bat seemed to score, the Baltimore Orioles and Detroit Tigers stayed away from home plate for much of Tuesday. Then both sides exploded again, this time in the late innings, as the Tigers staged a ninth-inning rally and Johnny Damon hit a two-run game-winning ho- mer in the 11th to give Detroit a 7-5 win. Damon’s home run, which ended a 3- hour 56-minute marathon, came against David Hernandez (3-7) and it came on a night in which Damon also notched his 2,500th career hit. The Orioles (25-58) had 17 hits but left a season-high 17 on base, and were 3 for 17 with runners in scoring position. With his team trailing 5-3 in the bot- tom of the ninth, Detroit’s Miguel Cabre- ra crushed an Alfredo Simon pitch 407 feet into the night for a game-tying, two- run homer.


Simon, who had blown just one save in


11 previous chances, was asked to pick up a five-out save for the first time as a clos- er. He survived the eighth, entering with a runner on third and one out and didn’t allow a run.


But in the ninth he walked Damon and struck out Magglio Ordoñez before Ca- brera tied the game with his 21st homer. It was the second consecutive inning in which the Tigers scored two runs. Us- ing triples by Cabrera and Brandon Inge


and a Brennan Boesch RBI single, the Ti- gers scored twice against Orioles reliever Jason Berken in the eighth. Berken, who had allowed one run in 26 of his previous 28 appearances, notched a key strikeout of Ordoñez to end the sev- enth. But, much like Simon, he couldn’t duplicate the effort his second time on the mound. Heading into the seventh, the Orioles were down 1-0 and had stranded 10 base runners. But they took the lead on a Nick Markakis’s two-run homer and added another run in the seventh on a RBI sin- gle by Félix Pie, who was playing his first big-league game since April 15. The bullpen, however, couldn’t hold the lead for Jake Arrieta, who is winless in his last four starts after winning his first two. Arrieta allowed seven hits while striking out four in 61


⁄3 innings. Arrieta allowed a base runner in all


but two of the innings he pitched, but only one scored — on a RBI single by Alex Avila in the second inning. Detroit took the 1-0 lead into the seventh, when Mar- kakis hit his fifth home run of the season and second in five games, a two-run shot to give the Orioles a 2-1 lead. They tacked on a third run in the inning and Marka- kis added a RBI single in the eighth. Early on, the low-scoring battle


couldn’t have been more different from the first game of the series on Monday, when the teams combined for 14 runs in the first two innings in an eventual 12-9 Detroit victory.
