SCOREBOARD

Monday, Sept. 15

Boston at Tampa Bay (7:10 p.m. EDT). Daisuke Matsuzaka (16-2, 2.97 ERA) and Scott Kazmir (11-6, 2.99) meet up in a rematch from Sept. 9, a 5-4 Rays victory. In the game, Matsuzaka gave up three runs and eight hits with four walks in five innings and Kazmir allowed two runs and five hits in six frames. Both pitchers got no-decisions.

STARS

Sunday

- Carlos Zambrano, Cubs, pitched the first no-hitter for the Chicago Cubs in 36 years, striking out 10 in a 5-0 win over the Astros in a game relocated to Milwaukee because of Hurricane Ike.

- Brett Myers, Phillies, pitched a two-hitter on three-days' rest and Philadelphia moved into a tie with Milwaukee for the NL wild-card lead, sweeping a doubleheader from the Brewers with a 6-1 win in the second game.

- Ryan Shealy, Royals, went 3-for-5 with a home run and five RBIs in Kansas City's 13-3 rout of Cleveland. Shealy has seven hits in the last two games.

- Derek Jeter, Yankees, had three hits including a home run and a double, tying Lou Gehrig for the most career hits at Yankee Stadium in New York's 8-4 win over Tampa Bay.

- David Wright, Mets, hit two home runs and went 4-for-5 in New York's 7-4 loss to Atlanta.

- Oscar Salazar, Orioles, hit two homers and drove in three to help Baltimore beat Minnesota 7-3.

NO-HITTER

Carlos Zambrano pitched the first no-hitter for the Cubs in 36 years, returning from a recent bout of rotator cuff soreness to shut down the Astros 5-0 in a game relocated because of Hurricane Ike. Zambrano, known for his emotional displays on the mound, kept himself in control until striking out Darin Erstad to finish his gem. Zambrano dropped to his knees and pointed to the sky with both hands after getting Erstad to swing and miss. The big right-hander was immediately mobbed on the mound by his teammates.

SWEPT AWAY

The Brewers got swept 7-3 and 6-1 by the Phillies to fall into a tie with Philadelphia for the NL wild-card lead. The Brewers are trying to avoid a repeat of last year's late collapse, when they built an 8 1/2 -game lead in the NL Central in late June only to finish two games behind the Chicago Cubs. After Carlos Zambrano threw a no-hitter to beat the Astros, the Brewers were 7 1/2 behind Chicago. Nine days ago, the Brewers were within four games of the Cubs. "When you're struggling, things never seem to go your way," Yost said.

SEPTEMBER SWOON

A dreadful bullpen is making it awfully difficult for the Mets to avoid another September meltdown. Fill-in closer Luis Ayala gave up a go-ahead homer to pinch-hitter Greg Norton, and the Braves rallied for five runs in the ninth inning and a 7-4 victory. The Mets' lead in the NL East was cut to one game by Philadelphia, which swept a doubleheader from Milwaukee. The Mets squandered a seven-game cushion with 17 to play last year, letting Philadelphia charge past them for the division title in one of the worst collapses in baseball history. Desperately trying to erase those painful memories, New York had 17 games remaining coming into this series and dropped two of three to the fourth-place Braves (67-83).

PRICE IS RIGHT

David Price, the top overall pick in the 2007 draft, made his major league debut for Tampa Bay and threw 5 1-3 impressive innings in relief of struggling starter Edwin Jackson. The 6-foot-6 left-hander allowed two runs and three hits, spending much of the outing in the upper 90s. Price retired six straight before Jeter led off the fifth with his 11th homer. "It was fun," Price said. "This one here was obviously special. I settled down pretty good, started breathing better. That first inning was pretty rough."

BENCHED

Yankees second baseman Robinson Cano was benched after manager Joe Girardi became upset with his lack of hustle on a fielding play against the Rays. Cliff Floyd led off the fourth inning with a hard grounder between first baseman Jason Giambi and Cano. Giambi dived and the ball went off his glove and into right-center field. Cano didn't immediately go after it and Floyd beat right fielder Xavier Nady's throw to second for the unusual double. Girardi switched Cody Ransom from third to second and inserted Wilson Betemit at third before Tampa Bay batted in the fifth.

SPOILERS

The Reds will spend October at home. They did all they could to make sure the Diamondbacks will too. Corey Patterson homered to give the Reds a 2-1 victory in 10 innings over Arizona, sending the Diamondbacks to their eighth loss in nine games. Arizona remains 4 1/2 games behind the NL West-leading Los Angeles Dodgers. The Reds have won three straight series over the Chicago Cubs, Milwaukee and Arizona, all of them contending for the postseason.

THE LETTER

Former White Sox reliever Bobby Thigpen was quick to congratulate the man who broke his saves record, sending a note to Angels closer Francisco Rodriguez. Rodriguez earned his 58th save this season when he finished out Los Angeles' 5-2 win over Seattle on Saturday night. Thigpen posted 57 saves for Chicago in 1990. "Only a handful of major league relievers understand what it takes to reach the 50-save mark," Thigpen wrote. "Your record-setting season is an accomplishment you should treasure this year for and for years into the future. I am certain your record for saves will stand for many, many seasons to come."

MILESTONE

Derek Jeter hit a solo homer in the fifth inning against the Rays, tying Lou Gehrig for the most career hits at Yankee Stadium. Jeter connected against Tampa Bay’s David Price for his 1,269th hit at the ballpark, which is in its final season. The crowd roared as the New York captain rounded the bases after his opposite-field drive to right, and cheered even louder when he came out of the dugout for a curtain call. Jeter also singled in the first and doubled in the second against Edwin Jackson, leading the Yankees to an 8-4 victory.

SPEAKING

"I guess I'm back!"-Carlos Zambrano, after throwing the first Cubs' no-hitter in 36 years, a 5-0 win over the Astros in Milwaukee.

SEASONS

Sept. 15

1912-Joe Wood of the Boston Red Sox pitched his 16th consecutive victory to tie Walter Johnson's record as he beat the St. Louis Browns 2-1.

1938-Brothers Lloyd and Paul Waner hit back-to-back homers for the Pittsburgh Pirates off Cliff Melton of the New York Giants. This was the only time brothers hit successive home runs in a major league game. It was Lloyd's last homer.

1946-The Brooklyn Dodgers beat the Chicago Cubs 2-0 in five innings when the game was called because of the gnats that were swarming players, umpires and fans.

1963-All three Alou brothers' Felipe, Matty and Jesus' played in the outfield at the same time for the San Francisco Giants in a 13-5 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates.

1969-St. Louis left-hander Steve Carlton struck out 19 Mets for a nine-inning game record. New York won the game 4-3 on two, two-run homers by Ron Swoboda.

1971-Houston pitcher Larry Yount, the older brother of Hall of Famer Robin Yount, was credited with his only major league appearance and didn't throw a pitch. Yount took the mound in the ninth inning of an eventual 4-2 loss to Atlanta. After a few warmup tosses, he left with elbow pain and never appeared in another major league game.

1979-Bob Watson of the Red Sox became the first player to hit for the cycle in both leagues as he led Boston to a 10-2 victory over the Baltimore Orioles. He hit for the cycle with the Houston Astros against San Francisco on June 24, 1977.

1990-Bobby Thigpen pitched one inning and became the first relief pitcher with 50 saves in a season as the Chicago White Sox beat the Red Sox 7-4.

1996-The Baltimore Orioles set baseball's season home run record with five against Detroit, including Mark Parent's record breaking shot in the third inning and Brady Anderson's 10th leadoff homer of the year. The homers gave the Orioles 243, three more than the 1961 New York Yankees.

1997-Baltimore outfielder Eric Davis played five innings in the opening game of a day-night doubleheader against the Cleveland Indians, his first game since colon cancer surgery in June.

1997-Ken Griffey Jr. hit his 51st and 52nd homers in Seattle's win over Toronto to become the sixth major league player to hit 100 or more home runs over two consecutive seasons. Griffey hit 49 homers last season.

1998-Ken Griffey Jr., 28, hit his AL-leading 52nd homer and drove in five runs to become the fourth-youngest player to reach 1,000 RBIs, leading the Seattle Mariners over the Minnesota Twins 12-7.

2002-Arizona's Curt Schilling struck out eight to reach 300 for the season, joining Randy Johnson as the first teammates in baseball history to each strike out 300 in the same season. The Diamondbacks beat Milwaukee 6-5 in 13 innings.

2003-Texas designated hitter Rafael Palmeiro hit his 35th home run, joining Jimmie Foxx as the only players with at least 35 homers and 100 RBIs in nine straight seasons. Palmeiro's 525th career homer, a solo shot, came in the fourth inning of the Rangers' 6-4 victory over Seattle.

2006-Dan Uggla set the major league record for home runs by a rookie second baseman with his 25th in Florida's 6-4 win over Atlanta.

Today's birthdays: Matt Thornton 32; Gaylord Perry 70.
