Anaheim, CA (Sports Network) - Vin Mazzaro threw a five-hit, seven-inning gem and the Royals offense bludgeoned Los Angeles with a 13-hit attack to take the rubber match at Angel Stadium by a 9-0 score. Mazzaro (1-1) also walked five hitters en route to his first win of 2011. Royals manager Ned Yost commented on his starters outing. Vins stuff was great, his sinker, change and slider, Yost said. Our defense was spectacular today. Vin threw strikes when he needed to and let the defense help him out. Alex Gordon collected three hits and knocked in a pair while Billy Butler and Chris Getz each added two RBI for the Royals, who bounced back after dropping a 7-5 result to LA on Saturday. Rookie Mike Moustakas added a hit in his fourth major league game. Tyler Chatwood (3-4) lasted only 3 2/3 innings in defeat for LA, giving up five runs on five hits while fanning five and walking three. Erick Aybar doubled for the only extra-base hit for the Angels, who have lost nine of their last 11 games. The Royals struck first with a run in the second and didnt look back. Mitch Maier led off the inning with a walk and advanced to second and then third on two wild pitches by Chatwood. Maier scored on a balk by Chatwood to gift Kansas City an early 1-0 lead. Kansas City expanded its lead in the fourth, plating four runs. Moustakas ripped a one-out single to right after a Maier walk. Matt Treanor doubled to left to score Maier and leave Moustakas at third. Getz followed with a single to score Moustakas. After Alcides Escobar grounded into a fielders choice, Gordon smacked a double to left to score Getz and Escobar to spot the Royals a comfortable 5-0 lead. KC extended its lead again in the sixth when Getz laced a single to right to score Maier. The Angels threatened in the sixth, putting two men on with one out, but the Royals were bailed out when Bobby Abreu grounded into a double-play to end the inning. Abreu collected a hit against Mazzaro and commented on his game. He threw a lot of sinkers and had a pretty good slider, Abreu said. We have a lineup that can score runs, right now were going through a tough time. Gordon led off the seventh for KC with a single and Hosmer was hit by a pitch to put two runners on for Butler, who came through with a double to plate two runs and extend the lead to 8-0 for the Royals. Blake Wood tossed a scoreless ninth to close out the win for Kansas City.

The incident happened during Barcelonas 3-2 win at Villarreal on April 27th when Alves, who is black, picked up the banana thrown by 26-year-old David Campayo Lleo, bit off a piece and then discarded it.TORONTO -- Some call it the Ed-wing. Others describe it as taking the parrot for a walk. When Edwin Encarnacion rounds first base on his home run trot, he raises his right arm slightly and sticks out his elbow. It has become a very familiar sight during the Blue Jays season-high eight-game winning streak. The Toronto slugger homered for the third straight game as the Blue Jays outscored the Tampa Bay Rays 9-6 on Tuesday night at Rogers Centre. Encarnacion hit one of three Toronto homers and starter Mark Buehrle picked up his major league-leading ninth victory for the American League East division leaders. Encarnacion, who has hit 14 of his 16 homers in May, also tied Jose Bautistas club record for most homers in a month set back in June 2012. "You cant describe it," said Blue Jays manager John Gibbons. "Ive been seeing that parrot a lot, thats for sure." Adam Lind and Juan Francisco also went deep for the Blue Jays, who outhit the Rays 13-12. Toronto has won 13 of its last 15 games and 18 of 23. "Theyre no fun right now," said Rays manager Joe Maddon. "Everything theyve got going on right now seems to be working." Buehrle (9-1), meanwhile, allowed eight hits and three earned runs over 6 2/3 innings. He wasnt as sharp as previous starts but kept the damage to a minimum. Lind and Encarnacion hit back-to-back shots in Torontos four-run fifth inning. "Everybodys having fun," Encarnacion said. "You can see it on their faces. Were playing great baseball when were on the field. So I think thats the No. 1 thing weve been doing. "Playing great baseball, playing the best baseball and enjoying it, enjoying the game." Linds homer was a two-run blast and Encarnacion followed with a monster shot that landed just above the second deck inside the left-field foul pole. Francisco added a solo shot in the seventh and Casey Janssen worked the ninth inning for his eighth save as Tampa Bay (23-30) lost its second straight game. Toronto (31-22) will go for the sweep of the three-game series on Wednesday night. "Just this offence and the way the guys are swinging the bat, it seems like the pitching - everything is coming together," Buehrle said. Both Buehrle and Tampa Bay starter Alex Cobb (1-2) were quick and efficient over the first three innings. The Rays scored a pair in the top half of the fourtth and the Jays answered with two runs of their own in the bottom half.dddddddddddd. Toronto went to work in the fifth after Jose Reyes lashed a ball back to the mound that hit Cobb on his right side near the waist. Cobb stayed in but struggled through the rest of the frame, giving up an RBI single to Bautista before the back-to-back homers. "Id love to blame it on something but honestly it was really good hitters hitting good pitches," Cobb said. The Blue Jays tacked on two more runs in the sixth and a single run in the seventh. "It was one of those games that didnt feel good even until the end," Gibbons said. "We opened up the lead a little bit and then they tacked on a few runs to pull to within three. It definitely wasnt a comfortable game. "But when you fall behind, I mean were confident right now. Were really confident." Buehrle, who received a standing ovation after he was pulled, walked a batter and struck out three. Cobb allowed nine hits, six earned runs and a walk over five innings while striking out seven. His earned-run average jumped from 1.40 to 2.93. "I thought Cobb had really good stuff tonight, not pedestrian by any means," Maddon said. "He was really good, moving along really nicely and all of a sudden they struck." Notes: Announced attendance was 15,993 and the game took three hours to play. ... It was the fourth time this season that the Blue Jays have hit back-to-back home runs. Lind has three homers on the season while Francisco has nine. ...

Gibbons challenged a call in the third inning when first-base umpire ruled that Yunel Escobar was safe.
