NEW YORK – Magglio Ordonez homered and drove in five runs while Jon Garland worked around bouts of wildness, leading the Chicago White Sox over the New York Yankees 9-3 Friday.

Joe Crede also homered for the White Sox and made a key play at third base. After he nipped Derek Jeter with the bases loaded to end the fourth, the White Sox scored nine runs in the next two innings.

Garland (1-0) won despite issuing a career-high seven walks, including four in the fourth. Backed by several fine defensive plays, he held down the Yankees on one run and four hits for eight innings.

Rangers 12, Angels 4

ARLINGTON, Texas – Michael Young struck out in his first at-bat and made throwing errors his first two fielding chances. Alex Rodriguez’s replacement then helped the Texas Rangers win their home opener.

Young, who moved from second base to shortstop when the AL MVP was traded just before spring training, drove in three runs and scored twice Friday in the Rangers’ 12-4 win over the Anaheim Angels.

Devil Rays 4, Orioles 3

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. – Pinch-hitter Eduardo Perez singled home the winning run in the 10th inning Friday night, leading the Tampa Bay Devil Rays over the Baltimore Orioles 4-3.

Jose Cruz Jr. opened the 10th by drawing a walk from John Parrish (0-1) and advanced on a sacrifice by pinch-hitter Damian Rolls.

After Rocco Baldelli was intentionally walked, Perez lined an 0-1 pitch to center.

Royals 3, Indians 1

KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Jimmy Gobble made history for Kansas City by just taking the mound Friday night, and Aaron Guiel’s two-run double broke a scoreless tie in the seventh to lift the Royals past the Cleveland Indians 3-1.

Kansas City became the first major league team to start four left-handers in its first four games.

He was preceded by Brian Anderson, Darrell May and Jeremy Affeldt.

Several teams had lefties start their first four games, but one always pitched more than once. The 1994 Yankees were the last to do it starting Jimmy Key twice, Terry Mulholland and Jim Abbott, according to the Elias Sports Bureau.

Ken Harvey hit a two-out single in the seventh off Jack Cressend (0-1), who had relieved after Jason Stanford pitched five scoreless innings.

After Benito Santiago singled off the glove of second baseman Ron Belliard, left-hander Scott Stewart came in to face Guiel and gave up a two-run double.

Tony Graffanino then made it 3-0 with an RBI single.

Making his sixth major league start, the 22-year-old Gobble allowed only one batter over the minimum in six innings, giving up two walks and Matt Lawton’s one-out single in the second. Both runners who walked were taken out in double plays.

Gobble, who was slowed in spring training by a strained abdominal muscle and on a strict pitch limit, threw 74 pitches, 49 for strikes.

Jason Grimsley (1-0) pitched the seventh. Curtis Leskanic allowed a RBI single to Casey Blake in the ninth before getting his first save.

The game was delayed for about eight minutes in the ninth inning when a streaker leaped onto the field from behind third base and ran into deep center field. He was surrounded by nine security officers and led away after a towel was retrieved from the Royals bullpen and placed around him.

The Royals stranded 12 baserunners in the first six innings against Stanford, who was making his ninth major league start.

The Royals’ first seven baserunners came on two walks and five infield hits off Stanford.

Stanford went five innings plus two batters and gave up seven hits – six never left the infield – with four walks and two strikeouts.

Juan Gonzalez’s single into left field in the fifth inning, sending Carlos Beltran to second, was the Royals’ first hit to reach the outfield.

With two outs, Joe Randa walked on a 3-2 pitch to load the bases. Harvey then struck out, giving the Royals nine runners left on base through the first five innings.

Shortstop Angel Berroa had eight assists and one putout in the Indians’ first 18 outs and wound up with nine assists and two putouts.
