Howard mows down Mets in 8th The Associated Press
NEW YORK — Ryan Howard hit a tiebreaking double in the eighth inning and Cole Hamels finally beat a familiar nemesis, pitching the Philadelphia Phillies past the slumping New York Mets 5-2 on Saturday night. Hamels (7-2) struck out a season-high 10 and walked none over seven innings to win his third straight outing and improve to 3-9 in 15 career games against the Mets. The left-hander had lost five consecutive starts against them. This time, he recovered from a shaky start to retire his final 11 batters — five by strikeout — without allowing a ball out of the infield. Jose Contreras worked a perfect eighth and Ryan Madson got three quick outs for his 11th save in as many tries. Philadelphia pitchers set down the last 17 Mets after Ronny Paulino’s fourth-inning single.

MILWAUKEE — Pinchhitter Jonathan Lucroy’s basesloaded suicide squeeze scored Ryan Braun with one out in the ninth, lifting the Milwaukee Brewers to a 3-2 victory over the San Francisco Giants on Saturday. Lucroy’s well-executed bunt was out of the reach of pitcher Guillermo Mota. Braun easily scored and Lucroy began pumping his fists halfway down the line. Rockies 15, Cardinals 4

Shelley Duncan pinches in for Tribe The Associated Press
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Shelley Duncan and Orlando Cabrera each had two RBIs, Carlos Carrasco pitched six solid innings and the Cleveland Indians beat the Tampa Bay Rays 7-3 on Saturday. Duncan, who was pinchhitting, and Cabrera both had two-run singles during the eighth to put Cleveland ahead 7-2. Duncan had a bases-loaded drive off J.P. Howell that hit high off the left-field wall, but he was held to a single because it looked like outfielder Sam Fuld might be able to catch the ball. Carrasco (4-2) gave up two runs and seven hits, helping the AL Central-leading Indians end a three-game losing streak. Cleveland had been outscored 23-4 during the short skid. Blue Jays 9, White Sox 8, 14 innings
TORONTO — Corey Patterson hit a game-ending homer in the 14th inning, Jose Bautista connected for his major league-leading 20th home run and the Toronto Blue Jays beat the Chicago White Sox 9-8 on Saturday. Patterson, who tied a career high with five hits, led off the 14th with a drive to right off Gavin Floyd (5-5) for his third of the season. It was the fourth game-winning homer of his career.

son’s five-hit shutout pitching over six innings as the Texas Rangers beat the Kansas City Royals 10-1 on Saturday night. Three straight Rangers homered for the fifth time in club history. It hadn’t happened since April 25, 2004, when Laynce Nix, Rod Barajas and Adrian Gonzalez went deep against Seattle. Twins 1, Angels 0, 10 innings
MINNEAPOLIS — Danny Valencia hit a bases-loaded single in the bottom of the 10th inning, lifting the Minnesota Twins to a 1-0 victory over Los Angeles on Saturday night after spot starter Anthony Swarzak held the Angels hitless into the eighth. Swarzak, a late fill-in on the mound for Francisco Liriano, gave up a one-out double in the eighth to Peter Bourjos for the Angels’ first hit. Liriano, who pitched a no-hitter May 3, was scratched the day before because of shoulder soreness. Red Sox-Tigers game postponed
DETROIT — The game between the Boston Red Sox and Detroit Tigers has been postponed because of rain. The third game of the series didn’t start on Saturday night. It was postponed after a delay of 1 hour, 25 minutes. Light rain began to fall about 10 minutes after the scheduled start and it quickly got heavier without much relief in sight on radar maps. The game will be made up in a day-night double-header Sunday. The first game will begin at 1:05 p.m. and the second at 7:05 p.m.

he Phillies’ Ryan Howard smacks a two-run double in the eighth inning of Saturday’s game against the New York Mets as New York Mets, at Citi Field in New York. Howard, who was batting .186 with 25 strikeouts in 70 at-bats against lefties this year, lined a 2-0 pitch off of left-hander Tim Byrdak into the right-field corner to put Philadelphia up 4-2. The Phils added another run in the ninth for a 5-2 win.

York Giants to a 12-5 win over Brooklyn at Ebbets Field. Terry became the first player in major league history to include a grand slam as part of the cycle. 1942 — New York’s Lefty Gomez, self-described as the worst-hitting pitcher in baseball, banged out four hits while pitching a 16-1 four-hitter against Washington. 1946 — In a reverse integration role, Edward Klep became the first white to play in the Negro leagues in a game played in Grand Rapids, Mich. Klep pitched seven innings for the Cleveland Buckeyes against the American Giants in his debut with the Negro American League team. 1956 — Dale Long went hitless for the Pirates, ending his major league record streak of home runs in eight consecutive games.
