Eric Milton didnl allow a hit until the sixth inning and Cristian Guzman scored on a throwing error by pitcher Danys Baez as Minnesota won 1-0 at Cleveland on Friday night. "We'll play to the end and finish as high as we can," Twins Manager Tom Kelly said.
Minnesota closed within 614 games of the Indians, whose magic number for clinching the AL Central remained at three. Milton (15-7), who combined with two relievers on a three-hitter, didn't allow a hit for 5 innings until Wil Cordero grounded a bait into the hole at shortstop that Guzman backhanded but had no play on. "Against that lineup, it was not even fathomable," Milton said of a possible no-hitter. "If there were two outs in the ninth I would have thought about it, but I didn't even come close." Indians starter C.C. Sabathia struck out 11 in seven scoreless innings, allowing four hits and four walks.
Minnesota scored in the eighth. Guzman bounced a one-out single up the middle off Baez (5-3) and stole second. David Ortiz was walked intentionally with two outs, and Torii Hunter hit a slow roller in front of the plate. Baez charged off the mound and fielded the ball, but threw wildly past first baseman Jim Thome, allowing Guzman to score. Hunter, who got credit for a single, reached second on the error.
Ortiz was thrown out at the plate by Thome. "We were fortunate, but we don't give up," Milton said. "Nothing has changed. We're playing hard to the end." Pitching on three days' rest, Milton allowed two hits and struck out six in seven innings. He also hit one batter and walked six, tying his career high.
Jack Cressend got two outs in the eighth and Eddie Guardado got four outs for his ninth save. Mariners 5, Athletics 3 Ichiro Suzuki had infield singles in his first two at-bats to tie Shoeless Joe Jackson's rookie hits record with 233, and Seattle ended visiting Oakland's' seven-game winning streak. AL West champion Seattle (110-44) won its fourth straight game after being swept in a three-game series at wild card winner Oakland last Freddy Garcia (18-6) allowed three runs and six hits in six innings to beat Mark Mulder (20-8). Rangers 11, Angels 2 Alex Rodriguez became the shortstop in major league history to hit 50 home runs in a season as Texas won at Anaheim. Rafael Palmeiro went 4-for-5 with his 46th homer, and Scott Sheldon and rookie Carlos Pena also homered for the Rangers, who avoided falling 40 games out of first place for the first time in club history.
Aaron Myette (4-4) allowed two runs and six hits in seven innings for Texas. The Angels lost for the 12th time in 13 games and matched a season worst with their seventh straight defeat. Yankees 7, Orioles 0 Mike Mussina (16-11) pitched a three-hitter for his third shutout this year and matched his season high with 1 3 strikeouts to lead New York. Tino Martinez, Bemie Williams and Shane Spencer drove in two runs each off Jason Johnson (10-12) for the AL East champions. Cat Ripken went 0-for-3 as he began his final series at Yankee Stadium.
Tigers 4, Red Sox 1 Jeff Weaver (13-15) made the best of his own bobblehead doll night, pitching eight scoreless innings to lead Detroit past visiting Boston. The Red Sox (76-76) have lost five of six and 20 of 25 to drop to .500 for the first time since they were 2-2 during the first week of the season. Royals 3, White Sox 2 Gregg Zaun hit a tiebreaking pinch homer off Alan Embree (1-2) and Chad Durbin ended his seven-game losing streak, to lead host Kansas City. Durbin (8-16), who avoided becoming the first Royals pitcher since 1970 to lose eight straight decisions, allowed two runs and six hits.
