Seattle For Mariners Hits

Baseball Betting Lines

Luis Ayala (1-2) was charged with the loss, after issuing a leadoff walk to pinch-hitter Scott Hairston to begin the deciding frame.

 

He slammed his bat in frustration before walking to first and was promptly removed in favor of Brian Bixler.

 

Glen Perkins got the final two outs of the contest to receive the first save of his career.

 

Neither starter was very effective. Zack Greinke went six innings, allowing five runs -- four earned -- on five hits and two walks while striking out nine for Milwaukee and Nick Blackburn allowed six runs on six hits and a walk through four innings for Minnesota.

 

Josh Beckett (7-3) fanned a season-high 11 batters over eight solid innings, in which he allowed five hits and one run. Jonathan Papelbon turned in a scoreless ninth with three strikeouts to post his 17th save.

 

Brett Wallace posted two hits and Angel Sanchez knocked in the lone run for the Astros, who have lost 11 out of their last 13.

 

After retiring Jason Varitek to start the ninth, Melancon walked pinch-hitter Sutton, then Ellsbury singled. Dustin Pedroia's fielder's choice left runners on the corners, and Adrian Gonzalez drew a free pass to load the bases. The move backfired as Youkilis followed by working a walk to force in Sutton and the Sox led, 2-1.

 

In the fourth, two singles and a walk loaded the bases for Varitek, who reached first on Wallace's throwing error to score a run.

 

Beckett's previous high was 10 strikeouts, against the Yankees on April 10...The Red Sox completed interleague play with a 10-8 record, while the Astros finished at 4-11...In terms of the All-Star rosters, which were announced earlier Sunday, Gonzalez was voted an AL starter at first base and Ortiz as DH. while Beckett and Ellsbury were named as reserves...Houston outfielder Hunter Pence was selected as a reserve.
