NEW YORK—Mike Mussina survived five shaky innings before turning it over to Joba Chamberlain and New York’s reshaped bullpen, and the Yankees pummeled the Seattle Mariners 12-6 on Saturday for their first four-game winning streak of the season.

Jason Giambi hit a three-run homer and Bobby Abreu added a two-run shot for the Yankees, who have outscored Baltimore and Seattle 35-9 during the winning streak. Abreu finished with four RBIs, and Robinson Cano went 4-for-4 and matched a career-high with three doubles as the Yankees improved to 5-0 against the Mariners this season.

Seattle has been outscored 44-12 by the Yankees and has lost 18 of 23 overall, dropping to a league-worst 18-32.

Carlos Silva (3-4), pitching on short rest, gave up seven runs—five earned—and 11 hits in six innings.



Blue Jays 6, Royals 0

TORONTO—Jesse Litsch pitched a seven-hitter for his first career complete game, Brad Wilkerson hit a grand slam and the Blue Jays extended the Royals’ losing streak to six.

Litsch (6-1) struck out three, walked one and won his fourth straight decision. Making his 29th career start, he extended his streak of innings without a walk to 38 2-3, three more than Jimmy Key’s previous Toronto record in 1990. The streak ended with a base on balls to Mark Teahen with two outs in the ninth.

Kansas City was shut out for the sixth time this season—tied for second in the major leagues behind Detroit’s seven. The Royals have lost seven of eight, including a no-hitter by Boston’s Jon Lester on Monday.

Rookie Luke Hochevar (3-4), beaten by Lester in the no-hitter, lost back-to-back starts for the first time this season.



Rays 11, Orioles 4

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla.—Evan Longoria homered twice and had six RBIs to lead Tampa Bay past Baltimore.

It was Longoria’s first career multihomer game. The rookie hit a three-run shot during a four-run first, and had a two-run drive in a five-run second. He also hit a fourth-inning sacrifice fly.

Carlos Pena added three RBIs for the Rays, who are 21-9 since April 22, and improved to a franchise best nine games over .500 at 29-20. Tampa Bay has won 14 of its last 15 games at home.

Edwin Jackson (3-3) allowed three runs and four hits in five innings. The right-hander struggled with his control, walking five, including four of his first six batters, and striking out two.



Angels 2, White Sox 0

CHICAGO—Jered Weaver pitched three-hit ball over eight innings and Vladimir Guerrero hit a go-ahead home run in the sixth to lead the Angels over the White Sox.

Weaver (4-5) struck out six, walked two and improved to 3-0 with an 0.34 ERA in four career starts against the White Sox. Francisco Rodriguez pitched a perfect ninth for his major league-leading 21st save in 22 changes.

Los Angeles has won five of six, while the White Sox lost their second straight following a season-best, eight-game winning streak.

John Danks (3-4) allowed two runs and five hits in five-plus innings.
