SEATTLE (AP) — Lance Berkman found his home run stroke from the right side of the plate. Justin Grimm struggled early only to rebound and turn in another quality start.

The Texas Rangers had a little of everything go in their favor Friday night, even a double play that shouldn't have been.

Jeff Baker hit a two-run homer and Berkman added a three-run shot, both off Seattle starter Joe Saunders, and the Rangers beat the Mariners 9-5....

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Lance Lynn pitched two-hit ball over six innings, and David Freese and Allen Craig each homered and drove in three runs, helping the St. Louis Cardinals beat the Los Angeles Dodgers 7-0 on Friday night for their third win in a row.

The last-place Dodgers' fifth loss in seven games came a few hours after team president Stan Kasten said manager Don Mattingly was not in immediate danger of being fired.

"I do expect things to turn...

HOUSTON (AP) — Houston closer Jose Veras had faced Chris Young in the past and remembered that the outfielder couldn't hit his curveball.

That changed on Friday night.

Young connected on a three-run homer in the ninth inning off Veras to lift the Oakland Athletics to a 6-5 win over the Astros.

Young, who grew up in Houston, is hitting just .189 this season. But he's a career .418 hitter at Minute Maid Park with seven home runs...

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — When Michael Cuddyer thinks back to missing the final two months last season, a minimum 15-day stint on the disabled list hardly seemed like a long layoff.

He sure didn't lose his power stroke while nursing his troublesome neck the past two weeks.

Cuddyer homered and hit a two-run double after being activated earlier in the day, Tyler Chatwood beat San Francisco for the second time in seven days and the Colorado Rockies blanked...
