| John Danks, P, Chicago White Sox | Tuesday 5/13, 11:55 PM CT |
|
| It was, in a vast understatement, a pitcher's duel as the White Sox fell in disappointing fashion to the LA Angels, 2-0. Chicago LHP John Danks pitched 6 1/3 innings, failing to allow a single run on seven hits with two walks and five strikeouts. |
|
| Joe Crede, 3B, Chicago White Sox | Tuesday 5/13, 11:52 PM CT |
|
| The White Sox must have lost their sticks on the way to the park, for the box score reveals the team was held to no runs on just three hits in the 2-0 loss to the LA Angels. Of those three hits, only one was produced by a man that found himself on base twice. 3B Joe Crede went 1-for-2 at the plate with a walk, also adding one of nine strikeouts on the evening in a game that fails to match depiction. |
|

|
| Jose Guillen, RF, Kansas City Royals | Tuesday 5/13, 10:41 PM CT |
|
| Tonight it was the Kansas City Royals emerging with the 3-2 win over Detroit, and it was DH Jose Guillen proving deadly with the bat to support the cause. Guillen is struggling with back spasms, yet he hit the batter's box and went 2-for-4 hitting two doubles to gather two RBIs. |
|
| Zack Greinke, P, Kansas City Royals | Tuesday 5/13, 10:37 PM CT |
|
| Kansas City RHP Zack Greinke left with no decision in the Royals' 3-2 win over the Detroit Tigers this evening, but his efforts continue to indicate the hurler is finally coming into this own.

|
|
|
| The kid is a supreme talent, but Seattle RHP Felix Hernandez is learning that talent does not always equal success in the majors. Hernandez suffered his fourth loss of the season this evening as the Mariners fell 5-2 to the Texas Rangers, pitching six innings to give up three runs (two earned) on six hits with five walks and three strikeouts. |
|
|
|
| The Yanks suffered a troublesome 2-1 loss to the Tampa Bay Rays after 11 innings this evening, a night that saw continued struggles for the bulk of an offense that managed just six hits and seven strikeouts. The top offender on the evening was 2B Robinson Cano , going 0-for-4, and while he failed to earn a single strikeout, he stranded four men on-base. |
|
|
|
| Give full credit to Tampa Bay RHP Edwin Jackson, for he gave the Rays all he had and held them in a game that fell in their favor after 11 innings. Jackson pitched seven innings, failing to allow a single run on five hits, posting one walk and five strikeouts. |
|
|
|

|
|
|
| It took 11 innings to get the job done, but the Tampa Bay Rays emerged victorious 2-1 over the New York Yankees.

|
| Luke Scott, LF, Baltimore Orioles | Tuesday 5/13, 9:48 PM CT |
|
| The Orioles got nice pitching, but they needed the offense to hold off the Boston Red Sox tonight for a 5-4 win.

Scott left with three RBIs and two runs scored. |
|
|

|
|
|
| The Red Sox got in hole early and were unable to bring it back, suffering the 5-4 loss to Baltimore.

Beckett walked two, struck out five, but the end result was his third loss of the season. |
|
| Ryan Garko, 1B, Cleveland Indians | Tuesday 5/13, 9:27 PM CT |

|
|
|
| The Indians didn't shock the world with a offensive explosion, but the hits needed were there to secure the 4-0 shutout victory over Oakland. DH Travis Hafner seems to have responded to the slight move up in the order, going 2-for-4 at the dish with one RBI and one run scored. |
|
|
|
| While the offense for Oakland failed to show, the right arm of starter Justin Duchscherer was working just fine. Duchscherer pitched 6 2/3 innings, allowing just one run on four hits, walking two and striking out six. |
|
|
|
| The offense was unable to solve the arm of Cleveland starter Paul Byrd, leaving Oakland with a 4-0 loss and a lack of players to note. On the bright side, CF Ryan Sweeney went 2-for-2 at the plate, the only player to post multiple hits on a night when no player in green and gold managed to get past first base. |
|
| Mark Kotsay, CF, Boston Red Sox | Tuesday 5/13, 9:11 PM CT |

| Mark Kotsay went 0-for-3 but he scored two runs for the Braves. |
|
| Paul Byrd, P, Boston Red Sox | Tuesday 5/13, 9:06 PM CT |
|
| Oakland and Cleveland locked horns this evening, and while the offense was more than enough for a 4-0 win for Cleveland, it was the work of RHP Paul Byrd that ruled the night. Byrd pitched 7 1/3 innings, shutting the A's out with no runs earned on just five hits. |

Baldelli, out with a “mitochondrial disorder,” appears to be on the way to regaining his health. “I did a lot of tests when I had the last muscle biopsy done,” said Baldelli. “They found some things out, but it’s not worth me discussing because they have to do confirmation tests on all the tests they’ve already done. They’re running all the secondary tests now, so that’s what I’m waiting on.” |

With interleague play coming up against the Giants this weekend, manager Ozzie Guillen wants Thome to play at least one game, but not put pressure on his chronic back problems in getting ready for that one game. Guillen said, "Everybody thinks first base is easy. First base is not an easy position because you have to move around every time the pitcher throws the ball. If there's a groundball, you have to move. I don't expect him to be a Gold Glover there for one day, just catch and throw. I told him to make sure when he works out, don't overdo it." |

He aggravated the injury while playing for Class-A Rancho Cucamonga on May 6, and after several days of physical therapy, Kendrick has resumed baseball activities but no timetable has been set for his return. Kendrick said, "It depends how it feels. I feel good today, and I felt good the day after the injury. But I have to strengthen it. The reality is, there's a strain, and I tore some scar tissue."
