Poder de D-backs acabó con Dodgers en L.A.
LOS ANGELES — Chris Johnson bateó un jonrón con la casa llena en su primer partido con los Diamondbacks de Arizona y Paul Goldschmidt bateó un toletazo de tres carreras en el primer inning — ambos batazos ante el abridor Aaron Harang — en una victoria de 7-2 sobre los Dodgers de Los Angeles el lunes por la noche.
Trevor Cahill (9-9) toleró solamente una anotación y seis hits en seis entradas, con cuatro ponches y tres boletos. El derecho, adquirido en un cambio con Oakland en diciembre, tiene un récord de 3-0, con promedio de efectividad de 1.85 en cuatro aperturas en su carrera contra los Dodgers.
A su vez, Johnson, que llegó el domingo a Arizona en un cambio con los Astros, cubrió tercera base y dio a los D’backs una ventaja de 7-0 con el segundo grand slam de su carrera.
Por los Diamondbacks, los venezolanos Gerardo Parra de 5-3, una anotada; y Miguel Montero de 2-1, una anotada.
Por los Dodgers, el dominicano Hanley Ramírez de 4-0. El venezolano Juan Rivera de 4-2, una anotada.
El “Gocho” Santana sale a palo limpio y pierden los Mets
NUEVA YORK – Matt Kemp pegó un jonrón tempranero y los Dodgers de Los Angeles tundieron al venezolano Johan Santana, que atraviesa un mal momento, en la victoria por 7-6 que consiguieron el viernes sobre los Mets de Nueva York.
El mexicano Luis Cruz conectó su primer vuelacercas en Grandes Ligas y los Dodgers por fin dieron cuenta de Santana (6-7), quien acumulaba foja de 5-0 con promedio de carreras limpias admitidas de 0.50 en todas sus cinco aperturas previas que había disputado contra Los Angeles.
Este período abarca ocho entradas en las que Santana sólo recibió tres indiscutibles en la victoria por 5-0 del 30 de junio en Los Angeles, pero desde entonces el dos veces ganador del Premio Cy Young ha tenido una mala racha.
Además de los dos jonrones que Kemp y Cruz conectaron a Santana, los Dodgers pegaron sencillos productores mediante Jerry Hairston hijo y el venezolano Juan Rivera. La ofensiva tempranera benefició al abridor Aaron Harang (7-5), quien recibió una carrera limpia en cinco episodios.
Kenley Jansen trabajo la novena entrada sin recibir anotación y logró su 17mo salvamento.
Por los Dodgers, los venezolanos Bobby Abreu de 3-1, dos anotadas, y Rivera de 5-1, una producida. El dominicano Juan Uribe de 1-0. El mexicano Cruz de 4-1, una anotada, una impulsada.
Por los Mets, el panameño Rubén Tejada de 5-1, dos anotadas. El dominicano Jordani Valdespin de 2-2, una anotada y dos impulsadas. El puertorriqueño Andrés Torres de 4-0, una anotada. El venezolano Ronny Cedeño de 1-0.
Pirates in a Strange Land: First Place in the N.L. Central
Two months ago, an early two-run deficit would have had thePittsburgh Pirates scrambling.
Now, it is only a blip. And for the moment, so is nearly two decades of losing.
Mike McKenry and Pedro Alvarez drove in two runs apiece, and the Pirates looked pretty comfortable during their first day in first place (not a misprint), beating the visitingHouston Astros, 6-4, on Wednesday.
Pittsburgh has won seven of eight games to improve to 45-36 at the season’s midway point, looking much like a team that could stick around through the summer.
“This stretch that we’ve had is awesome but I think this is very indicative of this ball club,” second baseman Neil Walker said. “We knew the bats were going to start coming around, and when we did we knew we were going to score a lot of runs.”
Kevin Correia (5-6) will take the help. He pitched well early in the season but struggled to win as the offense limped out of the gate. Correia overcame a shaky start Wednesday, giving up three runs on six hits in six innings, walking two and striking out one. He won at home against a National League team for the first time since joining the Pirates before the 2011 season.
The Astros reached Correia for two runs in the second, but the deficit lasted all of 15 minutes before Pittsburgh roared back to take the lead.
“Normally the first month of the season, you give two runs early and you know it’s going to be tight,” Correia said. “Now just have complete confidence that that’s not a lead that’s going to hold against us now.”
Pittsburgh has its best record through 81 games since Barry Bonds was swinging for the fences at Three Rivers Stadium 20 years ago.
DODGERS 4, REDS 1 Aaron Harang pitched seven strong innings against his former team as host Los Angeles won a second consecutive game for the first time since June 9-10.
Harang allowed one run and three hits, struck out five and walked one in his second career start against Cincinnati, the team he pitched for from 2003 to 2010. He last faced the Reds, and beat them, on June 21, 2002, with Oakland.
In a move retroactive to June 28, the Dodgers placed Andre Ethier on the 15-day disabled list with a strained left oblique that had kept him out of six games.
CUBS 5, BRAVES 1 Bryan LaHair, Jeff Baker and Anthony Rizzo hit home runs for visiting Chicago. Chipper Jones, who had five hits in the Braves’ 10-3 win on Tuesday night, had a first-inning single to give him hits in six straight at-bats and a season-best 11-game hitting streak.
BLUE JAYS 4, ROYALS 1 Carlos Villanueva pitched six shutout innings, and every Blue Jays starter had at least one hit as host Toronto won for the fourth time in six games.
CARDINALS 4, ROCKIES 1 Matt Holliday went 3 for 4 to lead St. Louis at home and is now 33 for 64 (a .516 average) with four homers and 19 runs batted in over his last 16 games.
Coming off one of his worst performances of the season, against Pittsburgh on Friday, Adam Wainwright gave up one run and allowed eight hits. He struck out 7 of the first 13 hitters he faced and threw a first-pitch strike to 9 of the first 10 batters.
NATIONALS 9, GIANTS 4 Host Washington, undeterred by an 11:08 a.m. holiday start after a late-finishing game, rallied from an early deficit to move 15 games above .500, matching its season-high.
Ryan Zimmerman hit a line-drive home run to right-center to highlight the win and missed another home run by inches. He is 10 for 20 with 4 homers and 13 R.B.I. in six Independence Day games.
MARLINS 7, BREWERS 6 Hanley Ramirez hit a run-scoring single off reliever Manny Parra in the 10th inning for visiting Miami. The hit came after the Marlins rallied from a one-run deficit in the ninth, when Gaby Sanchez hit a solo home run off Brewers closer John Axford to tie the game.
WHITE SOX 5, RANGERS 4 Kevin Youkilis hit a game-ending single in the bottom of the 10th inning to lift host Chicago.
Alejandro De Aza, who fouled a ball off his right knee during the at-bat, led off the 10th inning with a walk against Rangers reliever Mike Adams and then stole second. Youkilis, who was acquired in a trade from Boston on June 24, ended the game with a single to score De Aza.
Josh Hamilton homered for the Rangers, who had won their previous seven series.
INDIANS 12, ANGELS 3 Derek Lowe, starting for host Cleveland, won for the first time in more than a month.
Lowe (8-6) gave up 3 runs and 11 hits in six innings for his first win since June 1. He was 0-3 with a 7.71 earned run average in five outings between victories.
Johnny Damon had three of Cleveland’s season-high 14 hits. The Indians scored 21 runs in two wins after being shut out, 3-0, in the series opener.
ORIOLES 4, MARINERS 2 Chris Tillman gave up two hits in eight and one-third innings in his first start of 2012, and Adam Jones hit his 20th home run of the season to lead visiting Baltimore. Tillman took a one-hitter into the ninth, but Michael Saunders reached on an error, and John Jaso’s double on Tillman’s 125th pitch ended his day.
ATHLETICS 3, RED SOX 2 Jemile Weeks hit a go-ahead single in the seventh after Coco Crisp’s leadoff triple, and host Oakland completed a three-game sweep of Boston.
The Red Sox slugger David Ortiz hit his 400th career home run, but Boston could not avoid its first sweep by the A’s since May 23-25, 2008.
Pedro Alvarez driving in two runs with a single to center field Wednesday as the surprising Pittsburgh Pirates won for the seventh time in their last eight games.
