Cards prevail in 10; Yanks crush Chisox

Scott Rolen’s RBI single with two outs in the 10th inning gave the St. Louis Cardinals a 2-1 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers on Saturday, their fourth extra-inning triumph during a season-best six-game winning streak.

Albert Pujols hit his NL-leading 31st home run and Jeff Suppan worked seven strong innings for the Cardinals. St. Louis had three straight extra-inning victories, totaling 36 innings, before Chris Carpenter’s two-hitter in a 5-0 victory on Friday night.

J.D. Drew had three hits and an RBI for the Dodgers, who have lost four of five.

Yankees 14, White Sox 3

NEW YORK (AP) ? Derek Jeter and Bernie Williams each doubled twice and drove in three runs, leading Mike Mussina and the New York Yankees to a 14-3 blowout of the Chicago White Sox on Saturday.

Andy Phillips homered and knocked in four runs ? all after New York chased struggling lefty Mark Buehrle (9-7) in the fourth.

Jason Giambi hit a two-run single, leadoff batter Johnny Damon scored three times and the Yankees took advantage of some shoddy Chicago defense to build an 8-0 lead for Mussina (11-3).

Even little Bubba Crosby got in on it, hitting his first home run since a game-winning shot last Sept. 19 against Baltimore.

New York, which took the series opener 6-5 Friday night, has won six of seven. The World Series champion White Sox have dropped four of five to the Red Sox and Yankees in a stretch that spans the All-Star break.
