Major League Baseball Roundup


May 9, 2008

Diamondbacks 8, Phillies 3 -- Brandon Webb became the first pitcher to win his first eight starts in three years, tossing his 13th career complete game.

Webb (8-0) became the first pitcher to win his first eight starts since Jon Garland of the White Sox in 2005 and the first in the NL since Pedro Martinez for Montreal in 1997.

Rockies 9, Cardinals 3-- Matt Holliday had four singles, Jorge De La Rosa scattered five hits over 5 2-3 innings and Colorado beat St. Louis to salvage a split in their four-game series.

Braves 5, Padres 4 -- The Braves finally won a one-run game when Matt Diaz hit a bases-loaded single in the ninth inning.

Atlanta was the first team since the 2000 Houston Astros to lose its first nine one-run games. The Braves were the only team in the major leagues without a one-run victory.

Marlins 7, Brewers 2-- Matt Treanor achieved a career high in RBIs with one swing, hitting a three-run homer to help Florida complete a three-game sweep.

Pirates 5, Giants 4-- Adam LaRoche hit a go-ahead single in a three-run seventh inning, and the Pirates rallied to complete a three-game sweep.

Red Sox 5, Tigers 1 -- Josh Beckett had eight strikeouts, including the 1,000th of his career and Kevin Youkilis hit another home run at spacious Comerica Park.

Yankees 6, Indians 3 -- Jason Giambi, Johnny Damon, Robinson Cano and Wilson Betemit homered for New York.

Mike Mussina (5-3) won his fourth straight start and earned his 255th career victory, holding on for five innings.

Orioles 4, Royals 1 -- Daniel Cabrera threw a three-hitter to remain perfect against Kansas City, Nick Markakis backed him with a three-run homer, and Baltimore snapped a five-game losing streak.

Rays 8, Blue Jays 3 (13 inn.) -- Dioner Navarro hit a grand slam in the 13th inning after Carl Crawford drove in the go-ahead run with a sacrifice fly.
