Brignac’s 2 homers lift Rays
“I think the moral is just the fact that I let these guys down in a game where we weren’t out of the game early against a good team that’s right behind us in second place,’’ Burnett said.
Burnett’s anger swelled on the day George Steinbrenner was laid to rest and the Yankees honored longtime public address announcer Bob Sheppard during Old-Timers Day festivities.
After the Rays made it 3-0 after two innings, Burnett marched into New York’s clubhouse and slammed open a set of double doors leading to the showers at the far end of the room, slicing both hands on the plastic lineup-card holders pasted to the door.
Burnett (7-8) and manager Joe Girardi said the No. 2 starter would make his next scheduled start.
Twins 3, White Sox 2 — Carl Pavano picked up right where he left off before the All-Star break, pitching a complete game — his fourth of the season — for host Minnesota.
Carlos Quentin grounded out to end the duel between Pavano and Mark Buehrle (8-8), who also went the distance, in an astonishing 1 hour 52 minutes — the third-fastest nine-inning game in the majors this season, according to STATS LLC.
Brewers 6, Braves 3 — Corey Hart hit a three-run double in Milwaukee’s five-run seventh, Chris Narveson outpitched Tim Hudson, and the Brewers beat host Atlanta.
Prince Fielder hit his 21st homer in the Brewers’ big seventh and was hit by a pitch in the eighth, leading to ejections for Braves reliever Jonny Venters and manager Bobby Cox.
Blue Jays 3, Orioles 2 — Jose Bautista hit his major league-leading 25th homer in the eighth inning, a two-run shot off Jason Berken that provided Toronto with a comeback victory in Baltimore.
Indians sweep Tigers — Austin Kearns lined a two-out RBI single in the bottom of the 11th inning to give Cleveland a 2-1 win in the second game. Fausto Carmona (9-7) outlasted Justin Verlander in a matchup of All-Star righthanders to win the opener, 4-3.
Phillies 4, Cubs 1 — Placido Polanco, just off the disabled list, hit a tying single with two outs in the ninth inning and Philadelphia rallied for four runs against wild closer Carlos Marmol to beat host Chicago.
Padres 8, Diamondbacks 5 — Tony Gwynn Jr. hit an inside-the-park homer and Yorvit Torrealba drove in four runs to lift host San Diego.
Marlins 2, Nationals 0 — Josh Johnson (10-3) and three relievers combined on an 11-hit shutout as host Florida beat Washington.
Pirates 12, Astros 6 — Neil Walker had three hits, drove in two runs, and scored three times, and host Pittsburgh snapped a seven-game losing streak.
Reds 8, Rockies 1 — Former ace Edinson Volquez pitched like one in his return from elbow surgery, allowing only three hits over six innings, and host Cincinnati cracked four homers in the win.
Angels 7, Mariners 6 — Juan Rivera hit a tiebreaking homer in the seventh inning, Mike Napoli also went deep, and host Los Angeles beat Seattle after blowing a five-run lead.
Athletics 6, Royals 5 — Adam Rosales drove in the tiebreaking run against Joakim Soria in the ninth inning with his third single, leading visiting Oakland.
Cardinals 2, Dodgers 0 — Adam Wainwright (14-5) pitched six sharp innings to improve to 10-0 at home and Skip Schumaker and Brendan Ryan each drove in a run, leading St. Louis over Los Angeles.
