Zimmerman’s bat clutch for Nationals
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Ryan Zimmerman delivered a tworun double after Bryce Harper was intentionally walked in the fourth inning, and the Washington Nationals beat the Chicago White Sox 7-4 on a windy Thursday night to cap a three-game sweep. Dan Haren (1-1) got the win despite allowing 10 hits in five innings. With the score tied at 3 in the fourth, Haren helped himself by doubling off Dylan Axelrod (0-1) and eventually scoring on a wild pitch with two outs. Chicago then put Harper on base on purpose, but the move didn’t work: Cleanup hitter Zimmerman lined a double to right on Axelrod’s 103rd — and final — pitch of the evening. That put Washington ahead 6-3, and relievers Ryan Mattheus, Tyler Clippard and Rafael Soriano made it hold up.
American League Orioles 3, Red Sox 2
BOSTON — Chris Davis hit his sixth homer and Adam Jones drove in two runs, including a tiebreaking double, to lead the Baltimore Orioles past the Boston Red Sox. Davis and Jones extended their torrid starts for the Orioles, who took two of three games at Fenway Park. The pair has combined for 30 of Baltimore’s 85 hits. Dustin Pedroia and Mike Napoli had consecutive RBI singles for the Red Sox, who dropped a series for the first time after taking two of three on the road from both the New York Yankees

and Toronto. Baltimore improved to 1-3 in one-run games after going 29-9 last season.
Tigers 11, Blue Jays 1
DETROIT — Miguel Cabrera tripled, scored twice and even stole a base, and the Detroit Tigers knocked Josh Johnson out of the game with a five-run second inning en route to a victory over the Toronto Blue Jays. Doug Fister (2-0) allowed a run and eight hits in eight innings for Detroit. Johnson (0-1) allowed six runs and seven hits in 1 1-3 innings — the shortest start of his career. Prince Fielder had four RBIs and Torii Hunter added three for the Tigers. The temperature at game time was 35 degrees — the coldest for a Detroit home game since 1996.
National League Giants 7, Cubs 5
CHICAGO — Pablo Sandoval hit a two-run double in a fourrun fourth inning and the San Francisco Giants rallied from an early five-run deficit to beat the Chicago Cubs. Giants starter Ryan Vogelsong walked with the bases loaded to tie it in the fifth and Brandon Crawford hit a two-run single two batters later, helping the World Series champion Giants win their fourth in a row. Cubs shortstop Starlin Castro’s fielding error with two outs in the fourth allowed the first run to score. Scott Feldman (02) then gave up an RBI single to Angel Pagan and hit Crawford with a pitch ahead of Sandoval’s double.

PHILADELPHIA — Colin Greening scored the go-ahead goal late in the third period, and the Ottawa Senators snapped a five-game losing streak with a win over the Philadelphia Flyers. Flyers forward Claude Giroux was hit with a double-minor penalty for highsticking with 6:07 left. Greening buried a wrister past Ilya Bryzgalov for his eighth goal seconds later for the 2-1 lead.

They are tied in points with the New York Islanders, two points in front of the eighth-place New York Rangers. Daniel Alfredsson scored an empty-net goal with 6.9 seconds left. Zack Smith also scored for Ottawa. Giroux had the lone goal for the Flyers.
Islanders 2, Bruins 1
BOSTON — Josh Bailey scored twice and the New York Islanders added another big win in their surge toward the playoffs by beating the Boston Bruins. The Islanders, seeking their first trip to the postseason in seven years, improved to 5-0-1 in their last six games. They started the day tied with Ottawa and the
New York Rangers with 44 points. New York kept pace with Ottawa, which won at Philadelphia. The eighthplace Rangers were idle. The Bruins fell to 5-2 in their last seven games one night after moving into second place in the East with a 5-4 win at New Jersey.
Canadiens 5, Sabres 1
BUFFALO, N.Y. — Peter Budaj stopped 14 shots, and the Montreal Canadiens clinched a playoff berth and regained the Northeast Division lead with a win over the Buffalo Sabres. P.K.

CHICAGO -- Nate Robinson scored a season-high 35 points and the Chicago Bulls stopped another lengthy winning streak, rallying to beat New York 118111 in overtime Thursday and end the Knicks’ 13-game run. Robinson came up big down the stretch, scoring eight points in the extra period. Jimmy Butler added 22 points, Luol Deng scored 16, and the Bulls busted a long streak for the second time in about a two-week span, ending the Miami Heat’s 27-game run on March 27. They put the Knicks’ longest streak in nearly two decades to rest with a huge surge in the second half, offsetting Carmelo Anthony’s 36 points. Robinson started overtime with a three-point play to give Chicago a 108-105 lead, and after Anthony scored, the Bulls started to pull away. Deng nailed a 3-pointer, and Robinson hit a free throw after J.R. Smith got called for a technical foul with 2:09 remaining for arguing a non-call against Deng on a missed drive. The Bulls guard then drove for a layup to make it 114-107.
