Seattle salvages split

In the opener, Suzuki doubled in four at-bats, but Texas rookie Tommy Hunter threw a six-hitter for his first complete game and the Rangers hit three homers in their 7-2 victory.

Yankees 13, Orioles 3 - Hideki Matsui homered and drove in five runs and CC Sabathia became the AL’s first 17-game winner as New York avoided a three-game Yankee Stadium sweep against last-place Baltimore.

Melky Cabrera finished with four RBIs for New York, which totaled 20 hits after getting 19 in the first two games of the series combined. Derek Jeter scored three times, giving him 101 runs on the season, reaching the century mark for the 12th time.

Matsui hit a tiebreaking, two-run single off Jeremy Guthrie in the sixth and a three-run homer in an eight-run eighth.

Giants 7, Dodgers 2 - Brad Penny kept his emotions in check and pitched seven strong innings to beat his former club and Juan Uribe hit a two-run homer as San Francisco avoided a sweep by rival Los Angeles at AT&T Park.

Penny (3-0) has a perfect record since signing with the Giants Aug. 31 - he lost his final four decisions with the Red Sox before being released.

Phillies sweep Mets, 5-4, 1-0 - Pedro Martinez outdueled Tim Redding in the nightcap and looked again like a free agent bargain, leading Philadelphia to a doubleheader sweep at Citizens Bank Park.

Martinez (5-0) tossed six-hit ball, struck out seven, and threw 130 pitches in eight innings. He retired 10 straight at one point and the NL East-leading Phillies are now 7-0 when he starts.

Shane Victorino and Ben Francisco homered to lead the hosts in the opener.

Padres 7, Rockies 3 - Tony Gwynn drove in the go-ahead run with a sacrifice fly in a three-run sixth inning, lifting San Diego over Jason Marquis and Colorado at Petco Park.

Marquis carried a 3-2 lead into the sixth when San Diego rallied to hand the NL wild-card leaders a loss with 18 games to play. Marquis walked four batters in the inning, including one with the bases loaded.
