  • Webb now 9-0 as Arizona beats Rockies (AP)

    Arizona Diamondbacks' Stephen Drew hits the ball to the right side of the infield as Colorado Rockies catcher Chris Iannetta awaits the pitch in the eighth inning of a baseball game Thursday, May 15, 2008, in Phoenix. Drew reached on an error on the play. Drew had four hits as the Diamondbacks defeated the Rockies 8-5.

    Mr. Automatic was at it again. Backed by Stephen Drew's career-high four hits, Brandon Webb became the major leagues' first nine-game winner when the Arizona Diamondbacks defeated the Colorado Rockies 8-5 on Thursday night. Webb (9-0) has won his first nine starts, the most since San Diego's Andy Hawkins won his first 10 in 1985, according to the Elias Sports Bureau.


  • Brewers sign Braun to 8-year, $45M deal (AP)

    This Feb. 26, 2008 file photo shows Milwaukee Brewers baseball player Ryan Braun. The Milwaukee Brewers signed Rookie of the Year Ryan Braun to an eight-year, $45 million contract. The contract includes this season and a seven-year extension, meaning Braun will not be eligible for free agency until after the 2015 season, general manager Doug Melvin announced Thursday May 15, 2008.

    Ryan Braun grinned. He had just agreed to the largest contract in Milwaukee Brewers' history. "I really believe in the direction this franchise is headed," the NL Rookie of the Year said Thursday after his $45 million, eight-year deal was announced. "I'm extremely excited in our future." Braun's contract, which runs through 2015, replaces the $455,000, one-year renewal the Brewers gave him in spring...


  • Indians' scoreless streak ends at 44 1-3 (AP)

    Cleveland Indians' Franklin Gutierrez breaks his bat grounding into a double play to end the seventh inning of a baseball game against the Oakland Athletics Thursday, May 15, 2008, in Cleveland. The Indians won 4-2 to sweep the three-game series with Oakland.

    It wasn't even a bad pitch that ended the Cleveland Indians' scoreless streak. An unearned run against Aaron Laffey on his own throwing error halted the starting rotation's run of 44 1-3 consecutive shutout innings, but didn't interrupt their string of dominant outings. Laffey pitched the Indians to a 4-2 victory over the Oakland Athletics on Thursday, completing a three-game sweep and giving the...


  • Kazmir, Rays drop Yanks into last place (AP)

    Tampa Bay Rays' Akinori Iwamura follows through on a swing during a third-inning at-bat, on which he walked, in the Rays' 5-2 win in a baseball game against the New York Yankees on Thursday, May 15, 2008, in St. Petersburg, Fla. Iwamura had a home run in the game.

    Music blared in the Tampa Bay clubhouse and four large, flat-screen televisions mounted around a column in the middle of the room were tuned to the same in-house channel displaying the AL East standings. The surprising Rays are on top, and the sputtering Yankees are on the bottom. No one was gloating, though.


  • Astros rally from 6 down to edge Giants (AP)

    San Francisco Giants manager Bruce Bochy removes relief pitcher Tyler Walker as catcher Steve Holm, right, looks on during the eighth inning of a baseball game in San Francisco, Thursday, May 15, 2008. The Houston Astros won 8-7, and Walker faltered on his 32nd birthday.

    Lance Berkman is going to ride this hitting tear he's on as long as possible. Same goes for Houston manager Cecil Cooper, who continues to be amazed by his club's gutsy play. Berkman splashed his major league-leading 15th home run into McCovey Cove to break a ninth-inning tie, helping the Astros rally past the San Francisco Giants 8-7 on Thursday for their 11th win in 13 games.


  • Dempster's 12 Ks lift Cubs by Padres 4-0 (AP)

    Chicago Cubs starting pitcher Ryan Dempster smiles as he looks toward first baseman Derrek Lee during the fifth inning of a baseball game against San Diego Padres on Thursday, May 15, 2008 in Chicago. Dempster struck out a career-high 12 and hit an RBI single in the Cubs 4-0 win.

    Ryan Dempster called Greg Maddux a mentor and showed he learned some lessons. Dempster struck out a career-high 12 and hit a go-ahead single against Maddux during a four-run fifth inning, leading the Chicago Cubs over the punchless San Diego Padres 4-0 Thursday. "He's probably the greatest teammate I ever had," said Dempster, teammates with Maddux during 2 1/2 seasons in Chicago.


  • Royals again sweep Tigers in 3-game set (AP)

    Kansas City Royals starting pitcher Gil Meche pitches to Detroit Tigers' Curtis Granderson during the first inning a baseball game in Kansas City, Mo., Thursday, May 15, 2008. Meche pitched seven solid innings and the Royals beat Detroit 8-4 Thursday to complete another three-game sweep of the Tigers.

    Neither the Detroit Tigers nor the Kansas City Royals saw this sweep coming. Jose Guillen homered and drove in three runs, Gil Meche pitched seven solid innings and the Royals beat Detroit 8-4 Thursday to complete another three-game sweep of the Tigers. Kansas City won its season-best fourth straight and improved to 6-0 this season against the skidding Tigers, who have lost four in a row and 10 of...


  • Phils' Hamels gets first career shutout (AP)

    Atlanta Braves' Yunel Escobar moves to field a single hit by Philadelphia Phillies' Jayson Werth in the seventh inning of an MLB baseball game Thursday, May 15, 2008, in Philadelphia. Werth was safe at first.

    Cole Hamels finally finished what he started. The Philadelphia left-hander pitched his first career shutout, Ryan Howard homered and the Phillies beat the Atlanta Braves 5-0 on Thursday night. "I'm always wanting to go out there and finish it," said Hamels, who lowered his ERA from 3.36 to 2.89. "It was nice to finally get that done." Pedro Feliz and Shane Victorino also homered and drove in two...


  • Dodgers hit 3 HRs in 7th, beat Brewers (AP)

    Los Angeles Dodgers' Gary Bennett hits a double during the ninth inning of a baseball game against the Milwaukee Brewers Thursday, May 15, 2008, in Milwaukee. Bennett went 2-4 with four RBIs as the Dodgers won 7-2.

    With third baseman Blake DeWitt sidelined because of an aching lower back, Dodgers coach Larry Bowa suggested to manager Joe Torre just before the game that he play Chin-Lung Hu as a fill-in. Torre tossed aside the advice of his friend and decided instead to start backup catcher Gary Bennett, who hadn't played in more than a week.


  • Thome lifts White Sox over Angels 4-3 (AP)

    Chicago White Sox's Jim Thome swings for an RBI single during the ninth inning of a baseball game against the Los Angeles Angels, Thursday, May 15, 2008, in Anaheim, Calif. Chicago won 4-3.

    Slumping slugger Jim Thome had former teammate Jon Garland on the ropes in the second inning, coming up with the bases loaded and three runs already across the plate. He grounded out that time, but came through in the ninth when it mattered most. Thome hit a go-ahead RBI single off Francisco Rodriguez to help the Chicago White Sox beat the Los Angeles Angels 4-3 on Thursday night and salvage a...
