White Sox Adds Runs On Mauer

Baseball Betting Lines

Mauer had not played any other fielding position but catcher at the major league level during his career. The 2009 American League MVP hit third in the lineup Thursday and had a pair of singles and two RBI through the fourth inning to extend his hitting streak to nine games.

 

Mike Moustakas drove in the lone run for the Royals, who had a two-game winning streak snapped.

 

Danny Duffy (1-3) suffered the loss, allowing two runs on four hits over six innings. He struck out six and walked one.

 

Homer Bailey (3-4) was touched for five runs on eight hits in his six-inning start for the Reds, who needed 13 innings to beat the Cardinals in St. Louis on Wednesday.

 

Josh Hamilton drove in four runs and Michael Young hit a solo home run for the Rangers, who have run off four straight wins.

 

Rich Harden (1-1) suffered the defeat in just his second straight off the season. He gave up five runs on eight hits with two strikeouts and two walks over five frames. Oakland has lost three of four.

 

In the third, Elvis Andrus singled, moved to second on a wild pitch and easily scored when Hamilton pulled a pitch just under the first baseman's glove for a 2-0 game.

 

After Mitch Moreland's double, Mike Napoli drove home the first of two fourth-inning runs with a single to center. Hamilton's sacrifice fly scored Endy Chavez later in the frame for a 4-0 margin.
