ROBINSON Cano doubled in two runs in the 15th inning as the New York Yankees beat the Baltimore Orioles 4-1 on Wednesday after Mariano Rivera blew a one-run lead in the ninth.
After Mike Gonzalez gave up Cano's double, he struck Chris Dickerson in the head with a fastball. Gonzalez was immediately ejected, and Dickerson remained motionless on the ground for several minutes.
After being helped to his feet, Dickerson walked to first base before leaving the game.
Mark Teixeira led off the 15th with a single off Jeremy Accardo (2-1). Rodriguez followed with a single, and Cano hit a liner to right-center that Adam Jones bobbled, allowing Cano to take third.
Gonzalez then hit Dickerson. With Baltimore out of relief pitchers, Jeremy Guthrie came in and gave up a sacrifice fly to Brett Gardner.
New York's Hector Noesi (1-0) worked four innings in his major league debut, allowing two hits.
Alex Rodriguez had a season-high four hits for the Yankees.
In Boston, Jarrod Saltalamacchia doubled off the wall in left field in the eighth inning, scoring Carl Crawford from first base and sending Boston 1-0 over Detroit for its fifth straight victory.
Boston's Clay Buchholz and Detroit's Phil Coke each pitched seven shutout innings. Then Daniel Bard, who replaced Buchholz to start the eighth, threw one pitch before the game was delayed for 26 minutes by rain. When play resumed, Bard (1-3) retired the side in order.
In Chicago, Jake Peavy allowed just three hits in his home debut this season, outpitching Justin Masterson and making Adam Dunn's sacrifice fly in the first inning stand up in Chicago's 1-0 victory over Cleveland.
Peavy (1-0) struck out eight to cool off a Cleveland lineup that scored 31 runs in its three previous games. The 29-year old right-hander had his fifth career shutout and ninth complete game. He allowed only one runner past first base, did not walk a batter and threw 111 pitches.
Masterson (5-2) pitched his third career complete game. He allowed one run on five hits.
Elsewhere, it was: Rays 6, Blue Jays 5; Mariners 3, Angels 0; Rangers 5, Royals 4, 11 innings; and Twins 4, Athletics 3, 10 innings.
In the National League, Cole Hamels threw eight impressive innings and Jimmy Rollins drove in the go-ahead run with a sacrifice fly in the eighth inning as the Philadelphia Phillies beat the Colorado Rockies 2-1 to end a four-game losing streak. Hamels (5-2) allowed one run and five hits, striking out eight for his first victory against the Rockies. He entered 0-3 with an 8.22 ERA in three career starts against Colorado, including two in the postseason.
In Cincinnati, Charlie Morton threw a five-hitter for his second career shutout and Pedro Alvarez hit a three-run homer to help Pittsburgh end a six-game losing streak with a 5-0 win.
Also, it was: Mets 3, Nationals 0; Giants 8, Dodgers 5; Cubs 7, Marlins 5; Cardinals 5, Astros 1; Diamondbacks 5, Braves 4, 11 innings; and Brewers 5, Padres 2.
