Heavy-hitting Yanks continue series with A's Wed Sep  1 11:35:17 2010 EST
(Sports Network) - Six homers in two games and four consecutive victories have helped the New York Yankees regain sole possession of first place in the American League East. If they want to stay there, A.J. Burnett better figure things out in a hurry. Burnett will try to avoid a fifth straight losing decision when New York continues a four-game series versus the Oakland Athletics this evening at Yankee Stadium. The Yankees smashed three homers in Monday's series-opening 11-5 victory, then added
Angels take on Seattle's Vargas in series finale Wed Sep  1 11:14:39 2010 EST
a no-decision in the two others. Vargas hasn't been on top of his game lately, however. After winning three straight starts to begin the month of August, the California native was tagged for seven runs in 6 1/3 innings in a road loss to the New York Yankees on August 21. He struggled again in Friday's home assignment against Minnesota, with the Twins putting up five runs (four earned) in Vargas' six innings of work to pin a second straight defeat on the hurler. The 27-year-old has still had mor

e in store for another big night offensively in the finale, considering the way Royals scheduled starter Bryan Bullington has performed recently. After earning a long-awaited first major league win by firing eight shutout innings to best the New York Yankees on August 15, Bullington has been hit hard in back-to-back starts. The former No. 1 overall draft pick surrendered six runs and 11 hits in a five-inning no-decision against the Chicago White Sox on August 21, then was rocked for seven runs a
Boston hopes Lester can remain perfect against O's Wed Sep  1 11:12:00 2010 EST
this year with Friday's verdict. Boston could use another top-notch performance out of its top starter after losing Tuesday's opener of this three-game series with the Orioles. The 5-2 setback dropped the Sox to eight games behind the rival New York Yankees for first place in the AL East, though they remained seven in back of the front- running Rays in the Wild Card race after Tampa fell to Toronto last night. Luke Scott and Felix Pie each hit home runs and Baltimore received solid pitching onc
White Sox shoot for sweep of Indians; Manny expected to start Wed Sep  1 10:54:45 2010 EST
Sox, who will also visit Boston and Detroit on their 10-game road trip, are expected to send veteran right-hander Freddy Garcia to the mound this afternoon. Garcia is 11-5 in 24 starts to go along with a respectable 4.89 ERA and defeated the New York Yankees his last time out on Friday, holding the Bronx Bombers to a pair of runs -- one earned -- in seven innings of a 9-4 drubbing. Garcia is 5-2 in 12 road starts this season and 6-6 with a 4.13 ERA in 19 lifetime matchups (18 starts) against the

Bronx, NY (Sports Network) - Mark Teixeira and Robinson Cano each had three hits, including a home run, as the New York Yankees powered past the Oakland Athletics, 11-5, in the opener of a four-game series. Nick Swisher went 3-for-4 with three runs batted in for the Yankees, who have won three in a row and kept pace with Tampa Bay. The Rays beat Toronto on Monday, and the teams remained tied for first place in the AL East. Marcus Thames stayed hot by hitting a three-run homer, his sixth since A

ed five collective bargaining agreements and one strike, in 1994 (for which Montreal Expos fans will never forgive the union). Fehr can be as hard-line about not having a salary cap as Stephen Harper is on scrapping the long-form census. The New York Yankees 2010 payroll is $206.3 million. We're not sure what the Prime Minister's salary is since all stats are just a bunch of damn lies, anyway. But back to pucks. It seems the NHLPA, if it hires Fehr as its new president, is signaling that it is s
Blue Jays to shut down Morrow after next start Sun Aug 29 18:41:21 2010 EST
Toronto, ON (Sports Network) - Toronto Blue Jays pitcher Brandon Morrow will be shut down for the season following his next start on September 3 against the New York Yankees. The right-hander is 10-6 with a 4.27 earned run average in 25 starts this season, his first full campaign as a starter. He has thrown a career-high 143 1/3 innings. Morrow lost a no-hitter with two out in the ninth inning on August 8 against Tampa Bay. The fifth overall pick by Seattle in 2006, Morrow was dealt to Toronto
Cervelli, Yankees take series from slumping White Sox Sun Aug 29 17:45:04 2010 EST
Chicago, IL (Sports Network) - Francisco Cervelli collected four hits and scored the decisive run on Brett Gardner's single in the top of the third inning, as the New York Yankees edged the Chicago White Sox, 2-1, in the rubber match of a three-game series at U.S. Cellular Field. Marcus Thames homered in the second for New York, which had dropped four of its previous six road games. Thames now has three homers in his last two games and five in his last five games. Yankees' right-hander Ivan Nov
White Sox, Yankees close out series in Windy City Sun Aug 29 11:10:34 2010 EST
(Sports Network) - U.S. Cellular Field is the site of this afternoon's rubber match of a three-game series between the hometown White Sox and visiting New York Yankees. Ivan Nova will make his second Major League start today against Chicago, and Yankees fans were likely impressed with what they saw on Monday in the debut. Nova, a 23-year-old fireballer, allowed two runs on six hits in 5 1/3 innings and didn't figure in the decision against Toronto. At 6-foot-4 with a high-90s fastball, Nova is
