A much-needed win at Yankee Stadium gives the M's a .500 record on their road trip from hell, which now proceeds to Boston. After Jason Vargas left because he was suffering from flu, the bullpen (Batista, Lowe, Aardsma) threw five scoreless innings. Ichiro continued his mastery of C.C. Sabathia with two hits, including a 2-RBI double. M's 40-38, 3.5 GB. Box score. Next game Fri @ BOS, 4:05 p.m.; King Felix vs. Wakefield.

Another day of being outperformed by Rockies' pitchers, and not in moundsmanship. Jason Marquis made a acrobatic throw home on a grounder to cut down what would've been the M's first run, then drew a bases-loaded walk from Morrow to get the Rockies' first. (Morrow: 3 IP, 4 BB, 3 H. Back to AAA, fine friend.) Then, after Lopez tied the game in the eighth with a homer, two Mark Lowe throwing errors helped the Rockies go back on top to stay. M's 30-32, 5.5 GB. Box score. Next game Sun @ COL, 12:10 p.m.; Vargas vs. Hammel.

Jose Lopez's solo homer in the fifth gave Bedard the win, but let's also praise the bullpen: Batista, Olson, Lowe and White each pitched a scoreless inning, with the latter earning his first major league save. Also homering: Jamie Burke, in his first major league game of the season. Welcome back, Jamie! Box score. Next game Tue. @ BAL, 4:05 p.m.; Vargas vs. Brad Bergesen.
