Miguel Cabrera hit a two-run homer and the Detroit Tigers fell off sticks to knuckleballer Steven Wright to beat the Red Sox 9-8 in Boston. Jarrod Saltalamacchia and Tyler Collins drove in two runs apiece for Boston. With the game tied in the sixth inning, Collins managed a ticket with the bases loaded and two outs. This allowed Justin Upton scored the decisive run. David Ortiz hit a three-run homer, but Boston attack could not compensate for a poor start of Wright, who allowed nine hits and eight runs in four innings and two thirds. Bartolo Colon pitched masterfully encounter Colon pitched masterfully by covering seven innings, and the Mets managed to win 3-1 St. Louis Cardinals to level a doubleheader. Colon (9-5) allowed just three hits and struck out eight strikeouts, without giving tickets. After Jedd Gyorko hit a home run in the second and Alberto Rosario doubled in the third, Columbus entered rhythm and retired 14 of the last 15 batters he faced. The "king" Pirates wore before Felix Hernandez was less to more and pointed his first victory in more than two months when the Seattle Mariners 7-4 overpowered the Pittsburgh Pirates. The Hernandez (5-4) allowed four runs Venezuela - all in the first two innings - and struck out three in six innings in his first win since May 21. Hernandez spent nearly two months on the disabled list with a sore right leg, and looked hesitantly to cover six innings and two thirds to leave no-decision against the Chicago White Sox on Wednesday. It seemed that the same was repeated at the beginning to get Gregory Polanco homered in the first inning. Liriano hit the second homer of his career, a drive of 416 feet to center field in the second inning Hernandez.
