MAJOR LEAGUES Vogt homer powers A's past Angels Comment By The Associated Press MailTribune.com By The Associated Press Posted Apr. 21, 2015 at 12:01 AM By The Associated Press Posted Apr. 21, 2015 at 12:01 AM » Social News ANAHEIM, Calif. — Stephen Vogt hit a go-ahead three-run homer, Marcus Semien also went deep against Matt Shoemaker and the Oakland Athletics beat the Los Angeles Angels 6-3 on Monday night in the opener of a four-game series. Oakland right-hander Kendall Graveman was staked to a 5-3 lead in his third major league start, but lasted just three-plus innings. Manager Bob Melvin pulled him after he walked Erick Aybar and C.J. Cron to open the fourth and ran his pitch count up to 73. Dan Otero (1-1) bailed out Graveman by retiring the next three batters and the four-year veteran reliever allowed one hit over a career-high four innings (42 pitches) for the win. He has not allowed a run in 13 career appearances against the Angels, spanning 19 2-3 innings. Evan Scribner pitched a perfect eighth and Tyler Clippard got three outs for his first American League save and 35th of his career. Shoemaker (2-1) threw 68 pitches in three-plus innings, giving up five runs and seven hits while retiring only eight of the 18 batters he faced. The right-hander had won his previous nine decisions, beginning with a three-inning relief stint against Boston in a 19-inning, 5-4 victory last Aug. 9. ASTROS 7, MARINERS 5: At Seattle, Luis Valbuena hit a pair of solo home runs, including a go-ahead eighth-inning shot, to boost Houston. Valbuena, who started the scoring with a blast in the first inning, opened the eighth with a homer to right on 1-1 pitch from Danny Farquhar (0-1). It was his fifth this season. It was the first home run allowed by a Mariners reliever this season. Jed Lowrie added an RBI single in the inning. WHITE SHOX 4, INDIANS 3: At Chicago, Melky Cabrera capped Chicago's four-run ninth inning with an RBI single off Cody Allen, lifting the White Sox. Six consecutive batters reached safely before Cabrera drove a fastball into left-center for the game-ending hit. Alexei Ramirez doubled home two runs and Gordon Beckham had a tying RBI single. RED SOX 7, ORIOLES 1, (6 1/2 inn./rain): At Boston, Justin Masterson benefited from five unearned runs, and Boston beat Baltimore in a soggy Patriots' Day game shortened by rain. The first pitch was thrown at 11:04 a.m. under cloudy skies on the Massachusetts holiday after Boston Marathon runners already were on the course that passes close by Fenway Park. Rain began falling steadily in the fourth and intensified, and the game was called after a 1-hour, 42-minute wait. With the score tied at 1, Boston scored four runs in the third when Wei-Yin Chen (0-1) walked four and made an error, and third baseman Manny Machado committed another error. TIGERS 2, YANKEES 1: At Detroit, J.D. Martinez and Yoenis Cespedes hit consecutive RBI singles in the seventh inning, and Joba Chamberlain got Jacoby Ellsbury to hit into a crucial double play in the eighth, helping Detroit beat New York. CC Sabathia (0-3) faced the minimum number of hitters through the first six innings, but with two out and a man on second in the seventh, the Yankees intentionally walked Victor Martinez. J.D. Martinez followed with a sharp single that shortstop Didi Gregorius was unable to keep in the infield, and Cespedes' single scored Martinez. ROYALS 7, TWINS 1: At Kansas City, Mo., Edinson Volquez dodged trouble for seven innings, and Kansas City scored two runs on wild pitches before pounding bumbling Minnesota. Kendrys Morales and Paulo Orlando drove in a pair each as the Royals finally figured out Twins nemesis Kyle Gibson. The right-hander gave up four runs in five-plus innings. Gibson (1-2) had earned the win in his first four starts against Kansas City. Volquez (2-1) allowed five hits while striking out five with only one walk. National League CUBS 5, PIRATES 2: At Pittsburgh, Kris Bryant wound up scoring on his tiebreaking two-run double with some heads-up baserunning, and the star rookie had three hits and three RBIs to lead Chicago. Bryant's double off Arquimedes Camninero (0-1) hit off the base of the left-center field fence in the seventh inning and snapped a 1-all tie. He advanced to third base on the throw home, and raced across the plate when catcher Francisco Cervelli missed the throw for an error. Bryant, who tied the game with an RBI single in the fifth, is 6-for-14 (.429) with four RBIs in four games since his much-anticipated callup from Triple-A Iowa on Friday. REDS 6, BREWERS 1: At Milwaukee, Anthony Desclafani pitched eight shutout innings and Zach Cozart and Joey Votto homered to lead Cincinnati. Desclafani (2-0) held Milwaukee hitless until Adam Lind's double with two outs in the fourth. Hector Gomez's fifth-inning single was the only other hit off Desclafani, who struck out five and ran his scoreless innings streak to 15. PADRES 14, ROCKIES 3: At Denver, Matt Kemp had three hits and four RBIs and San Diego scored nine runs in the first two innings. Derek Norris had three of San Diego's 17 hits, Will Venable homered and Odrisamer Despaigne got his first major league hit to help the Padres win for the fifth time in six games.
