NEW YORK – Pinch-hitter Shawn Riggans hit a three-run double, Carlos Pena a three-run homer in a seven-run eighth inning, and the Tampa Bay Rays roughed up Yankees youngster Ian Kennedy for six runs in a 13-4 win over New York on Friday night.

Yankees manager Joe Girardi was not in the dugout to watch the Rays batter New York pitching and hear the surly crowd serenade his team with repeated choruses of boos. Girardi missed his first game as New York’s manager because of an upper respiratory infection.

Bench coach Rob Thomson managed his first big league game. The Rays took advantage of Kennedy’s wildness to score six times in the first three innings – five in the third – and then added seven runs in the eighth off relievers LaTroy Hawkins and Kyle Farnsworth.

White Sox 8, Tigers 5

DETROIT – For the Detroit Tigers, 2008 is starting to resemble 2003.

A.J. Pierzynski drove in five runs with three hits, including a tiebreaking, three-run homer in the seventh inning Friday that led the Chicago White Sox over the Tigers 8-5.

Detroit, the only winless team in the major leagues, is 0-4 for the first time since the Tigers dropped their first nine games in 2003, when they lost an AL-record 119 times.

Orioles 7, Mariners 4

BALTIMORE – Ramon Hernandez broke out of a hitless funk by going 3-for-4 with a home run, and the Baltimore Orioles also got homers from Kevin Millar and Melvin Mora in a 7-4 victory over the Seattle Mariners on Friday night.

Luis Hernandez drove in two runs for the Orioles (2-1), who climbed over .500 for the first time since last April 25, when they were 11-10.

After going 0-for-7 in his first two games, Hernandez got a pair of singles before hitting a solo shot off Cha Seung Baek to make it 4-2 in the sixth inning. Mora added a two-run drive in the seventh off Baek.

Twins 4, Royals 3

MINNEAPOLIS – Carlos Gomez went 3-for-4 with a double and two stolen bases and Scott Baker recovered from a sluggish first two innings in the Minnesota Twins’ 4-3 victory over Kansas City on Friday night, the Royals’ first loss of the season.

Baker gave up three runs on seven hits in 6 2-3 innings and Joe Nathan picked up his second save, but the news wasn’t all good for the Twins. They lost right fielder Michael Cuddyer in the fourth inning to a dislocated and lacerated right index finger.

when he collided awkwardly with Alex Gordon on a head-first slide into third base.

Cuddyer was 2-for-2 in the game, but was taken to a hospital for X-rays.
