Bronx, NY (Best E Casino) - Brett Gardner singled home Robinson Cano with two outs in the bottom of the 13th inning to give the New York Yankees a much- needed 3-2 victory over the Kansas City Royals. Cano singled with one out off Jeff Fulchino (0-1) and took second on a slow grounder to third by Ivan Rodriguez. Gardner fouled off the first two pitches he saw, then ran the count full before slapping a base hit through the left side of the infield to score Cano with the winning run. Gardner, who also had a 10th-inning walkoff hit against Boston on July 6, finished 3-for-5 in his second game since being recalled from the minors to take the place of demoted center fielder Melky Cabrera. David Robertson (3-0), the last of seven Yankee pitchers, earned the win with two innings of hitless ball. The New York bullpen combined for 6 2/3 innings of one-hit relief after starter Sidney Ponson yielded two runs on seven hits with a pair of walks and two strikeouts over 6 1/3 innings. Kansas City starter Zack Greinke was charged with a pair of unearned runs on six hits in 6 2/3 innings. He walked two and struck out five. Alex Gordon homered for the Royals, who have lost eight of their last 10.

Final Score: Minnesota 7, Seattle 6

Minneapolis, MN (Best E Casino) - Brian Buscher's sacrifice fly in the bottom of the ninth inning pushed Minnesota past Seattle, 7-6, in the middle test of a three-game set from the Metrodome. Facing Cesar Jimenez (0-2), Joe Mauer beat out an infield single to third. Justin Morneau followed with a single, and Miguel Batista got the nod. He induced a sac bunt from Delmon Young which moved both runners, then pinch-hitter Mike Lamb walked to load the bases. The Mariners tried to improve their defensive stance by bringing outfielder Ichiro Suzuki close to the infield to prevent a potential ground ball from getting through. However, the plan backfired as Buscher ended the game by lofting a fly ball to left which plated Mauer with the deciding run. Mauer finished 3-for-4 with a homer, two RBI and three runs scored for the Twins, winners of three in a row and four of five. Dennys Reyes (3-0) got the win after hurling a scoreless ninth. Starter Scott Baker allowed eight hits and four runs over 5 1/3 innings. Suzuki and Jeff Clement both knocked in a pair of runs for the Mariners, who have dropped five of six.
