UNDATED: four chances.
Red Sox 8, Angels 0
BOSTON (AP) – Curt Schilling pitched eight innings to extend his scoreless streak to 14, and David Ortiz hit a three-run homer for the Red Sox.
Schilling (2-1) allowed four hits, struck out four and walked one to pick up his second consecutive win. He gave up five runs in four innings on opening day and a first-inning homer in his next start, but has not allowed a run since then to drop his ERA from 11.25 to 2.84.
Schilling yielded just five baserunners, and none of them made it to third base. Brendan Donnelly gave up a hit in the ninth.
Ortiz hit his third homer of the year and drove in four runs, lining a shot to straightaway center off Greg Jones in the eighth to make it 8-0.
Hector Carrasco (0-1) allowed three runs – one earned – and two hits with six walks in 3 1-3 innings for the Angels.
Mariners 8, Rangers 3
SEATTLE (AP) – Miguel Batista pitched into the seventh inning, Adrian Beltre hit his first homer of the season and the Mariners overcame Rangers slugger Sammy Sosa’s 590th career homer.
Sosa hit his second homer since 2005 – a two-run shot in the sixth inning – but Batista (1-1) otherwise handled the Rangers’ potent lineup. Batista allowed three runs and five hits in 6 2-3 innings.
Vicente Padilla (0-3) pitched six innings for Texas but remained winless. He gave up four earned runs and six hits in six innings.
Jose Guillen hit his first homer with Seattle, a two-run shot in the seventh off reliever C.J. Wilson that just cleared Sosa’s glove in right.
