WEST HAWAII TODAY | THURSDAY, JUNE 18, 2015
SPORTS
to key a six-run inning
and added an RBI sin-
gle in the third when the
Cubs scored four times.
Schwarber hit into a
double play in the fourth
and singled in the sev-
enth. He added an infield
hit in the ninth.
Schwarber’s stay in
the majors is expected to
be brief. The plan is for
him to DH in interleague
games at Cleveland and
Minnesota this week and
send him to Triple-A Iowa
where he will continue to
be used as a catcher.
Asked if a four-hit night
is making a case to stay
in the majors, Schwarber
said, “I’m just doing my
job. I’m trying to take
advantage of the oppor-
tunity I have. I’m trying to
do my best and have good
at-bats every day.”
YANKEES 2, MARLINS 1
NEWYORK — Alex Rodriguez
singled twice to raise his career
hits total to 2,997, Michael Pineda
carried a no-hit bid into the sev-
enth inning before allowing Chris-
tian Yelich’s home run, and the
New York Yankees beat the Miami
Marlins 2-1 Wednesday night.
On a night when Yankees
manager Joe Girardi was spared
having to decide whether to lift
Pineda with a high pitch count
and New York benefited from an
overturned call at home plate
that prevented the tying run in
the eighth inning, A-Rod closed
in on becoming the 29th player
to reach the 3,000 mark.
Rodriguez lined an RBI single
to center in the first inning,
singled softly to center in the
fifth, walked twice to reach in all
four plate appearances and also
was thrown out at home plate.
With New York starting an eight-
game homestand, he has a good
chance to get No. 3,000 at home.
TWINS 3, CARDINALS 1
MINNEAPOLIS — Tommy
Milone gave up one run in
seven innings and the Min-
nesota Twins squeaked out
a victory over St. Louis.
Milone (3-1) gave up five
hits and struck out five and
Eduardo Nunez had two hits
and two RBIs to help the reeling
Twins, who had lost seven of
their previous eight games.
Carlos Martinez (7-3) gave up
two runs — one earned — on
five hits and struck out six in 6
2/3 innings for the Cardinals,
who are embroiled in a federal
investigation into allegations that
members of the team’s baseball
operations hacked into the Hous-
ton Astros’ personnel database.
The Cardinals had two runners
on with no outs in the ninth, but
Glen Perkins struck out Mark
Reynolds and Randal Grichuk and
got Yadier Molina to ground out to
improve to 23 for 23 in save tries.
MARINERS 2, GIANTS 0
SEATTLE — Felix Hernandez
pitched eight innings of four-hit
ball, Austin Jackson delivered a
go-ahead RBI triple in the sixth,
and Seattle beat San Francisco.
Hernandez (10-4) allowed four
hits, struck out five and walked
two to rebound from the worst
outing of his career. The Mariners’
ace allowed a runner to reach
scoring position twice, but both
times he quickly retired the
side by inducing a groundout.
Charlie Furbush retired the first
two batters of the ninth and Car-
son Smith struck out Matt Duffy
for his fourth save in five chances.
Jackson tripled home Mike
Zunino with one out in the sixth
off San Francisco starter Madison
Bumgarner (7-4). Robinson Cano
followed with an RBI double.
Bumgarner, who lost a
perfect-game bid in the fifth,
also gave up four hits in eight
innings, striking out nine and
issuing one intentional walk.
ATHLETICS 16, PADRES 2
OAKLAND, Calif. — Jesse
Chavez struck out a career-high
11 in seven innings to win for only
the second time in his last eight
starts, Billy Butler had four hits
including a three-run home run
and Oakland beat San Diego.
Chavez (3-6) went into the
game with the eighth-lowest ERA
in the AL and was dominant while
allowing three hits over seven in-
nings. He fanned seven of the first
11 batters, walked one and didn’t
allow a runner past first base until
Alexi Amarista homered on the
first pitch leading off the sixth.
Ben Zobrist drove in three
runs and fell a home run shy of
hitting for the cycle for the A’s.
Stephen Vogt added two RBIs.
Will Middlebrooks homered for
the Padres, who lost their third
straight since firing manag-
er Bud Black on Monday.
ASTROS 8, ROCKIES 4
DENVER — Carlos Correa hit
one of Houston’s four home runs,
Brett Olberholtzer pitched effec-
tively into the seventh inning and
the Astros continued their power
surge in a win over Colorado.
Chris Carter, Preston Tucker
and Jake Marisnick also homered
for the first-place Astros,
who have won four straight
and lead the majors with 95
home runs. Correa and George
Springer had three hits each.
Olberholtzer (2-1) followed
up his eight shutout innings
against Seattle on Friday with
another strong outing. He
allowed three runs and eight
hits, struck out five and didn’t
walk a batter in 6 1-3 innings.
He worked around Charlie
Blackmon’s leadoff double
in the sixth but left after
allowing Nick Hundley’s RBI
single in the seventh.
DIAMONDBACKS 3,
ANGELS 2
PHOENIX — Paul Goldschmidt
and Welington Castillo each hit
a solo home run, and Arizona
held on to beat Los Angeles.
Both homers came off
Hector Santiago (4-4).
Yasmany Tomas had
three hits for Arizona, in-
cluding an RBI triple.
Goldschmidt’s 19th home run
came in the first inning. Castillo
hit his fourth — second since
coming to the Diamondbacks
— leading off the fourth.
Goldschmidt had two hits
to raise his batting average
to .363, best in the majors.
He has reached base in 27
consecutive games, the longest
active streak in the majors.
Chase Anderson (3-1) allowed
two runs and seven hits in six in-
nings for his second straight win.
BLUE JAYS 8, METS 0
TORONTO — Danny Valencia
hit a three-run homer, Kevin
Pillar had a solo shot and Toronto
beat New York behind a solid
start from Drew Hutchison.
Pillar went 3 for 4 with two
RBIs as the Blue Jays, whose
11-game winning streak ended
with Monday’s 11-inning loss to
the Mets at Citi Field, won the
opener of a five-game home-
stand. Toronto is 12-3 in June.
The Blue Jays lead the
majors with 369 runs. Enter-
ing play Wednesday, Arizona
was second with 291.
The Mets dropped to 10-20
on the road. They’ve lost 12
of 15 away from home.
Hutchison (6-1) allowed career
highs of nine hits and eight runs
in his previous outing, June
12 at Boston, but fared much
better against the Mets. He gave
up four hits in 5 2-3 innings,
walked one and struck out five.
ROYALS 10, BREWERS 2
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Joe
Blanton picked up his first
victory in nearly two years with
five solid innings and Alcides
Escobar equaled his career
high with four RBIs as Kansas
City pounded Milwaukee.
Blanton (1-0) had not won since
June 29, 2013, while with the Los
Angeles Angels against Houston.
He limited the Brewers to one
run and five hits. The 34-year-
old right-hander struck out
four and walked none, throwing
a season high 73 pitches.
Escobar tripled with the
bases loaded in a four-run
eighth. He also singled home
a run in a three-run second. It
was his third four-RBI game.
Mike Fiers (3-7) absorbed
the loss, giving up six runs
on eight hits and three
walks in five innings.
RAYS 5, NATIONALS 0
WASHINGTON — Steven Souza
Jr. hit his 13th home run of the
season and Curt Casali blasted
the first of his career to help
Tampa Bay beat Washington.
Souza and Casali each
had three hits, with Souza
doing so while returning to
his former home park.
Matt Andriese (2-1) pitched four
shutout innings of relief for the
AL East-leading Rays. Reliev-
er-turned-starter Steve Geltz got
the first six outs in what manager
Kevin Cash called a bullpen game.
Jordan Zimmermann (5-5)
allowed three runs in seven
innings innings for Washington.
The Nationals committed three
errors and had just two hits, one
night after belting out 23 in a 16-4
victory over the Rays in Tampa.
PIRATES 3, WHITE SOX 2
CHICAGO — Jeff Locke
allowed just two runs in six
innings, Jung Ho Kang hit a
two-run home run and Pitts-
burgh beat struggling Chicago
for its seventh straight win.
The Pirates, who had thrown
three straight shutouts —
and five in the previous six
— saw their streak of score-
less innings end at 35.
Locke (4-3) was followed by
Arquimedes Caminero, Tony
Watson and Mark Melancon, who
combined for scoreless relief
over the final three innings with
Melancon getting his 22nd save.
The White Sox, who snapped
a string of 30 scoreless
innings with two runs in
the sixth, have dropped a
season-high six straight.
Locke gave up three hits
and had a season-high
eight strikeouts.
White Sox starter John Danks
(3-7) settled down after a shaky
first inning to allow three runs
on five hits in seven hittings.
BRAVES 5, RED SOX 2
ATLANTA — Nick Markakis
singled in the go-ahead run in
the seventh inning, Pedro Ciriaco
added a pair of RBI singles and
Atlanta beat struggling Boston.
The Red Sox, who began the
night in last place and eight
games out in the AL East, have
dropped eight of nine overall
and 11 of 12 on the road.
Red Sox manager John Farrell
showed his frustration in the bot-
tom of the seventh, getting eject-
ed for arguing balls and strikes.
Atlanta, which has won three
of five, took its first lead at 3-2
in the seventh when Markakis
singled to score Cameron
Maybin. Markakis’ hit came off
Junichi Tazawa (0-3), who gave
up three hits, two runs and one
walk in two-thirds of an inning.
Nick Masset (2-1) earned
the win in relief, and Ja-
son Grilli recorded his 18th
save in 20 chances.
ORIOLES 6, PHILLIES 4
PHILADELPHIA — Chris
Parmelee homered for the
third time in two games and
Travis Snider also went deep
as Baltimore handed Philadel-
phia its ninth straight defeat.
The Orioles still finished six
homers shy of the club record
they set in Tuesday’s 19-3
victory over Philadelphia. David
Lough doubled and had two
RBIs for Baltimore, which won
its 12th game in the last 14.
Ubaldo Jimenez (5-3) struck
out eight and walked none
while giving up four runs on
eight hits in 6 2/3 innings.
Zach Britton pitched a score-
less ninth for his 18th save.
Freddy Galvis homered and
Ben Revere had a pair of hits,
including a triple for Philadel-
phia, which has lost 19 of 22 to
sink to 23 games under .500.
Kevin Correia (0-
1) took the loss.
