One Run Afternoon
All four games played Saturday afternoon were decided by one run. As mentioned earlier, the Yankees down the Royals 3-2. Frankie Rodriguez earned his 47th save of the season. That equalled his career high and the Angels record and leaves him 10 away from tying Bobby Thigpen for the single season save record. The Indians lose on two unearned runs as the Angels take the game 4-3.
The White Sox offense didn't help much, but John Danks and the bullpen held Oakland to one run as Chicago takes the game 2-1. After a brief offensive outburst Friday night, Oakland is back to low scoring losses.
The Mariners came back with six runs in the sixth to take a 6-5 lead on the Twins, but Minnesota tallied single runs in the eighth and ninth to win the game 7-6. Minnesota loaded the bases with one out in the ninth, and Brian Buscher got the ball deep enough in the outfield to collect a sacrifice fly and win the game for the Twins. The AL Central remains tied. The Mariners have allowed at least seven runs in each of their last five games.
