SCOREBOARDWednesday, April 29Florida at New York Mets (1:10 p.m. EDT). Johan Santana will look for his fourth win of the season as he faces Josh Johnson. The Mets' ace is 3-1 with a miniscule 0.70 ERA.STARSTuesday• Chase Utley, Phillies, homered twice and drove in three runs to help Philadelphia rout Washington 7-1.• Felix Hernandez, Mariners, coasted through eight scoreless innings, allowing four hits, a walk and striking out nine in Seattle's 9-1 victory over the Chicago White Sox.n Jorge Cantu, Marlins, hit two homers and drove in five runs as Florida ended a seven-game skid with a 7-4 victory over the New York Mets.• Carlos Zambrano, Cubs, hit his 17th career homer, a club record for a pitcher, fell a triple shy of the cycle and pitched seven sharp innings to lead Chicago over Arizona 11-3• Mark DeRosa, Indians, had four hits and scored from second base on an error with two outs in the ninth inning to help Cleveland snap Boston's 11-game winning streak with a 9-8 victory.• Phil Hughes, Yankees, went six innings in his first start and New York ended a four-game losing streak with an 11-0 victory over Detroit.STATSCleveland was 1 of 15 with runners in scoring position and left 12 men on base, but won for only the second time in its last 11 games against the Red Sox, including Boston sweeping the final three games of the 2007 ALCS.SCORING IN BUNCHESThe New York Yankees scored 10 runs in the seventh inning to snap a scoreless tie and beat the Tigers 11-0. It was the first time a team had broken up a scoreless tie after the sixth with a 10-run inning since the Cincinnati Reds scored 10 in the top of the 13th against the Brooklyn Dodgers on May 15, 1919, according to Elias Sports Bureau.DOUBLE DUTYCarlos Zambrano snapped out of an early-season hitting slump, falling just short of a cycle with a single, double, and his 17th career homer. Zambrano, a career .235 hitter, opened the season hitless in his first nine at-bats.SEAT FILLERThe New York Yankees slashed prices on more than 40 percent of their front-row seats by up to 50 percent and announced many of those who bought tickets closest to the field for $325-$2,500 will be eligible for additional free seats. Those initiatives could help pack previously unfilled areas that were an eye sore on television broadcasts during the opening homestand at the $1.5 billion ballpark.SWITCHING WINSAfter further review, the Colorado Rockies' official scorer changed the winner of Monday night's game to reliever Glendon Rusch. Jason Grilli was originally credited with the win following the Rockies' 12-7 victory over the San Diego Padres. But scorer Dave Einspahr switched around the winners Tuesday night after reviewing Rusch's effectiveness in pitching out of a fourth-inning jam.CLOSING TIMETrevor Hoffman got his first save with the Brewers and 555th of his career one night after making his first appearance with Milwaukee.STREAKINGMilwaukee has won 14 straight over Pittsburgh, the longest active streak by one team over another in the majors, and 17th in a row in Miller Park, where the Pirates haven't won since May 3, 2007. ... The Astros have won their last 11 games in Cincinnati, a streak that started late in the 2007 season and is the longest current run of dominance in the majors. Houston is 32-15-1 at the hitter-friendly ballpark that opened in 2003.SPEAKING"I thought we were not going to win again until the All-Star break. It felt like that." Florida manager Fredi Gonzalez said after the Marlins ended a seven-game losing streak with a 7-4 win over the Mets.
