Yanks remain hot, pound Royals

Baseball Betting Lines

07/24/2007 - Kansas City, MO (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Johnny Damon, Hideki Matsui and Jorge Posada each knocked in a pair of runs and Roger Clemens pitched seven solid innings, as the streaking New York Yankees slammed the Kansas City Royals, 9-2, in the opener of a four-game series at Kauffman Stadium.

After scoring 45 runs in three straight wins over Tampa Bay over the weekend, the Yankees pounded out 11 singles to win their fourth straight and improve to 15-5 over their last 20 games. The only extra base hits for New York were Damon's double and Posada's first triple of the year.

The run support was more than enough to help Clemens (3-4) earn career win No. 351. The future Hall of Famer gave up just two runs on four hits with three strikeouts and no walks.

Clemens also continued his dominance of Kansas City, improving to 25-7 in 40 career starts against the Royals.

Alex Rodriguez knocked in his 100th run of the season with an RBI single in the ninth inning. The Yankee slugger also remains two home runs shy of 500 for his career.

Royals starter Odalis Perez (5-9) pitched admirably after a rough start. The left-hander gave up four runs on five hits through the first two innings but didn't give another run over the rest of his seven innings of work.

Ross Gload homered for Kansas City, which had won four of its last five games.

New York struck for a pair of runs in both the first and second innings to assume command early.

Melky Cabrera walked with one out in the first and Derek Jeter followed with a single to left. After Rodriguez's groundout moved the runners over a base, Matsui's single to right made it 2-0 Yankees.

Robinson Cano and Shelley Duncan then both singled in the second inning and Damon's double into the left field corner handed New York a four-run advantage.

Kansas City got a run back in the fourth as Mark Grudzielanek led off with a double, went to third on a groundout and scored on a Clemens wild pitch.

Gload's one-out homer in the seventh inning brought the Royals within 4-2, but the Yankees blew the game open with a five-run ninth inning.

Damon and Cabrera led off the inning with back-to-back singles and out later, Rodriguez brought home a run with a single up the middle. Jimmy Gobble then took over for Ryan Braun and promptly walked Matsui to load the bases.

Posada's single to left scored two runs, with the runners moving to second and third on the throw home. Cano followed with a sacrifice fly to score Matsui and Grudzielanek dropped Andy Phillips' routine pop out, allowing Posada to score for a seven-run Yankee advantage.

Game Notes

Clemens was facing Kansas City for the first time since the 2005 season...Perez was attempting to win back-to-back starts for the first time this season...Damon finished 3-for-5...Attendance was 30,476.

Will Ohio State continue to run the table in College Football betting odds?
MySportsbook.com favors Buckeyes, Fighting Irish and Golden Bears in this weekend's big games.

NEW YORK, NY, Sept. 21 - My Sportsbook NCAA football fans: things are beginning to get really interesting on college football's national stage. Following last weekend's "Separation Saturday", which included five teams ranked in the top 15 dropping games, the BCS Championship picture is beginning to take shape - with Ohio State leading the charge. And, according to odds makers at MySportsbook.com, the number-one-ranked Buckeyes will continue their winning ways this weekend.

Revenge will be the name of the game in Columbus this Saturday, as Ohio State looks to even the score following last season's loss to Joe Paterno's Nittany Lions. Although Penn State are listed as 16.5 point underdogs, they are 11-10 all-time versus the Buckeyes. Paterno and the Lions, however, will have to shut down Heisman Trophy favorite Troy Smith who has thrown for 769 yards and seven touchdowns this season.

Speaking of revenge, Notre Dame will be out for some against Michigan State, following last year's 44 - 41 overtime loss to the Spartans in South Bend. The thirteenth-ranked Irish, listed as a 3-point favorite, will also be looking to avenge last Saturday's thrashing from the Michigan Wolverines. The Spartans, meanwhile, have won seven of the last nine match-ups against Notre Dame and are coming off an impressive 38-23 victory over Pittsburgh.

Out west, 22nd-ranked Arizona State will be battling for their first victory over 21st-ranked California since 2000. Although the Golden Bears are listed as 7.5-point favorites, the Sun Devils are 3-0, lead the nation in sacks with 18 and possess the Pac-10's leading passer in sophomore quarterback Rudy Carpenter.
