SCOREBOARDSaturday, May 2Houston at Atlanta (3:40 p.m. EDT). Astros ace Roy Oswalt (0-2) tries again for his first win this season. He matches up against Braves rising star Jair Jurrjens (2-2), who is 0-2 with a 1.32 ERA in his last three starts.STARSFriday• Evan Longoria, Rays, extended his torrid hitting against Boston pitching with a grand slam in Tampa Bay's 6-2 victory.• Randy Johnson, Giants, gave up four hits and struck out nine over seven scoreless innings in his 297th career victory as San Francisco beat Colorado 3-2.• Jorge Posada, Yankees, hit a two-run single in the ninth inning off Brian Fuentes, completing New York's rally from a five-run deficit in a 10-9 victory over the Los Angeles Angels.• Bronson Arroyo, Reds, bounced back from his worst start of the season to limit Pittsburgh to four singles over eight shutout innings in Cincinnati's 4-0 win.• Jose Lopez, Mariners, hit an RBI single to right field on the 14th pitch from Russ Springer with two outs in the ninth inning, and Seattle rallied from five runs down to beat the Athletics 8-7.• Jeff Francoeur, Braves, hit a two-run homer and drove in another run to help the Braves beat the Astros 7-2.• Albert Pujols, Cardinals, hit one of St. Louis' season-high four home runs in a 6-2 win over Washington.STELLAR AT HOMEThe Los Angeles Dodgers beat the San Diego Padres 1-0 on Friday night to improve to 8-0 at home for the first time since 1947, when the franchise was in Brooklyn. The year before, they set a franchise record by winning their first nine games.SIDELINEDThe Texas Rangers placed outfielder Josh Hamilton on the 15-day disabled list because of a strained left rib cage muscle. The Rangers made the move retroactive to Monday. Hamilton sustained the injury on April 12 in Toronto when he crashed into the outfield wall while chasing a flyball. ... Oakland third baseman Eric Chavez is back on the disabled list, with strained right forearm. Chavez played in just eight games and was hitting only .100 (3 for 30), before landing on the DL for the fourth time in the last three years.STREAKINGRyan Zimmerman singled in the third inning of Washington's 6-2 loss to St. Louis on Friday night, extending his hitting streak to a Nationals-record 20 games. It's the longest streak in the majors this season. The last 20-game hitting streak by a Washington, D.C.-based player came in 1953 by the Washington Senators' Mickey Vernon.HOMER HAPPYNew York catcher Jorge Posada's home run in its 10-9 win over the Angels on Friday night was the 29th homer at the new Yankee Stadium, tying Kansas City's Municipal Stadium (1955), Houston's Enron Field (2000) and Cincinnati's Great American Ball Park (2003) for most homers in the first eight games at a major league ballpark, according to the Elias Sports Bureau. It was the 20th homer to right field, where some believe a jet stream is carrying the ball.SIDELINED CLOSERSPhiladelphia's Brad Lidge threw before the Phillies' 7-4 loss to the Mets on Friday night and said he'd be ready to pitch Saturday. Lidge hasn't appeared in a game since last Saturday because of inflammation in his right knee. ... Two Houston team doctors successfully drained 40 cubic centimeters of fluid from Jose Valverde's right calf on Friday, one day after he had 20 cubic centimeters of fluid removed. Valverde's expected recovery time is three to five weeks.RED SOX HITTEREvan Longoria hit a grand slam in Tampa Bay's 6-2 win over Boston on Friday night, improving to 10-for-22 with four homers and 13 RBIs against the Red Sox this season.SEASONSMay 21939 — Lou Gehrig of the New York Yankees did not play against the Detroit Tigers at Briggs Stadium, ending at 2,130 his streak of consecutive games played. Gehrig never played again. Babe Dahlgren took his place at first base. The Yankees didn't miss his bat, however, as they beat the Tigers 22-2.
