Around the Horn - 4/16
Scores
For the first time this season the Tigers have won two straight.
The Minnesota Twins were the victims once again as Miguel Cabrera homered for the first time, since opening day, in a 6-5 Tigers win.
The Red Sox beat the Indians in the 9th inning for the second straight game. Jason Varitek smacked the game winning home run in the 5-3 triumph.
The Angels came back from a 4-0 deficit to beat the Rangers 7-4. Gary Matthews Jr. drove in 3 runs.
The Blue Jays slapped around Steve Trachsel and the Orioles 11-3. Aaron Hill paced the way with a 3-run home run.
Jose Lopez and Yuniesky Betancourt combined for 7 RBI in the Mariners 11-6 win over the Royals. The victory moved the M's to within one game of .500, but they lost Erik Bedard to the DL with a bad hip.
Carlos Quentin belted a 3-run HR and John Danks threw 7.2 shutout innings in the White Sox 4-1 win over the A's.
Mike Pelfrey improved to 2-0 as the Mets blanked the Nationals 6-0. David Wright homered and drove in 5 runs. Tragedy struck after the game when a fan lost his footing on an escalator and fell to his death.
Connor Jackson and Chris Young homered in the Diamondbacks 8-2 drubbing of the Giants. Michah Owings improved to 3-0 with the win.
The Phillies rallied for 4 runs in the 9th to beat the Astros 4-3. Shawn Chacon tossed 8 shutout innings, but closer Jose Valverde would retire only one batter in the 9th. Chris Snelling started the comeback with a solo home run. Then Pat Burrell tied the game with a 2-run blast. Finally, Pedro Feliz delivered a walk-off double to complete the comeback.
Scott Olsen went 7 innings in the Marlins 4-0 win over the Braves. The Marlins lead the NL East at 8-5.
Derek Lee and Mark DeRosa homered and drove in 3 each in the Cubs 9-5 win over the Reds. But the Cubs might be without Alfonso Soriano for quite some time. Sori left the game in the 1st inning with a strained calf.
Padres starter Randy Wolf pitched 6.2 no-hit innings before the Rockies Brad Hawpe broke it up with a single to center. The Padres won anyway 6-0, scoring all their runs in the 5th inning.
In the battle of beer towns, the Cardinals beat the Brewers 5-1 as Braden Looper notched his 3rd win. Looper had control troubles, issuing 5 walks in 5 innings, but the Cards bullpen shut down the Brewers the rest of the way.
The Dodgers thumped the Pirates 11-2 behind Jeff Kent's home run and 3 RBI, and the 5 innings of relief work done by Esteban Loaiza.
News
Cardinals starter Chris Carpenter will throw his first live batting practice on Monday as he recovers from off-season elbow surgery.
Tigers outfielder Curtis Granderson could be closer to returning he put in a pain-free batting practice.
The Dodgers expect to get Nomar Garciaparra back form the DL on Friday.
