A.J. Burnett was suspended six games and fined $2,000 for throwing intentionally at Nelson Cruz of the Rangers on Tuesday night. Burnett threw a pitch toward Cruz?s head in the fifth inning, a pitch that Major League Baseball believed was in retaliation for Vicente Padilla hitting Mark Teixeira twice earlier in the game.

Even before the Rangers embarked on this six-game road trip and before Elvis Andrus once again put up some big-time highlights on one of baseball's biggest stages, veteran Omar Vizquel was quick to praise his pupil.
One of the biggest reasons the Rangers signed Vizquel was to have him mentor Andrus. I talked with Vizquel for about 10 minutes or so just before the team left and...

Brandon McCarthy's performance -- 4 IP, 6 H, 6 R, 6 ER, 3 BB, 3 K, 79 pitches -- made Pabloesque a winner. He had McCarthy going 4 innings. His line: 7 H, 5 R, 5 ER, 4 BB, 0 K, 80 pitches. Nice. That's three of the last four for Pablo, I believe. Good stuff.
Ranger Fan in Utah, Dustyn, Tommy and Pabloesque had Jason Jennings as the first reliever in the game. Jason1974...

Chris Davis ripped a two-out run-scoring ground-rule double in the sixth that chased Red Sox starter Brad Penny and gave the Rangers a 5-0 lead. Kevin Millwood then pitched around a one-out single and a two-out double to perserve the five-run cushion. He has thrown 93 pitches, so definitely expect him back in the seventh.

New York scored five times against Brandon McCarthy in the fifth inning to erase a four-run deficit and take a 6-5 lead. Ian Kinsler, though, launched a solo homer in the sixth to forge a 6-6 tie as the Yankees bat in the bottom of the inning.
The first seven Yankees reached in the fifth, and the Rangers got a break when Hideki Matsui lined into a double play for the first two outs...
