ANAHEIM, Calif. -- Brian Roberts and Derek Jeter joked around the batting cage before the game at Angel Stadium, wondering which old guy would be the last to hit his first homer of the season. Even Roberts was a bit surprised to beat the captain in that competition, and he did it at a key moment for the New York Yankees. Roberts hit a tiebreaking solo homer in the ninth inning, and the Yankees beat the Los Angeles Angels 4-3 Tuesday night for just their second victory in seven games. Roberts connected with two outs against Ernesto Frieri (0-3), putting his first homer with his new club into the elevated right field stands. After the game, the ball was nestled in the locker of the longtime Baltimore infielder. "Never hit a homer in any other uniform, so Ill take it home," said Roberts, who also had an early RBI single. "I feel like Ive gotten a lot more comfortable. Sometimes, some things just click. Its been nice to get something going a little bit." After a slow start in pinstripes, Roberts is steadily improving at the plate, according to manager Joe Girardi. The Yankees unassuming replacement for second baseman Robinson Cano now has the same number of homers as Cano has hit for the Seattle Mariners this season. Alfonso Soriano had a go-ahead RBI single in the eighth inning, and David Robertson pitched the ninth for his fifth save in an all-around encouraging effort by the Yankees. Hiroki Kuroda had his longest and best start of the season, allowing just one earned run and not walking a batter while striking out eight in 7 2-3 innings. The Japanese right-hander is winless in four starts, but he largely shut down the Angels. "When Kuroda pitched the way he did, you need to win those games," Roberts said. Mike Trout tripled and scored the tying run on Albert Pujols two-out single off Shawn Kelley (1-2) in the eighth inning for the Angels, who had won five of seven on their nine-game homestand. Erick Aybar and Trout drove in runs with consecutive sacrifice flies in the third inning for the Angels, but their combustible bullpen let them down again after eight solid innings by C.J. Wilson. Frieri had been pitching well since losing his job as the Angels closer, and manager Mike Scioscia isnt discouraged. "(Frieri) just made one mistake tonight," Scioscia said. "He just yanked one pitch to Roberts, but give Roberts credit. He was ready for it." The Angels couldnt reward Wilson, who yielded seven hits and struck out five in just his second non-winning start since April 1. Wilson hit Jeter with a pitch to open the eighth, and Carlos Beltrans seeing-eye grounder up the middle sent Jeter to third. Jeter was tagged out after Mark Teixeiras grounder, but Sorianos single to left easily scored Beltran. "This is a lineup that typically goes up there and swings for damage," Wilson said of the Yankees. "But today they made a concerted effort to put the ball in play and make contact. I didnt have a lot of strikeouts because they were just fighting pitches off and stuff. They did a really good job of that." Trout snapped an 0-for-12 skid with a two-out triple off the top of the right-field wall in the eighth, barely missing a tying homer. Trout has never gone more than 14 at-bats without a hit in his major league career, but he had something close to a slump when he struck out on a pitch in the dirt to end the fifth, stranding two runners. "We all know how good a hitter he is," Kuroda said through a translator. "At that moment (in the eighth), I tried to just attack him and see how it goes. I dont feel bad about it." The hit chased Kuroda, and Pujols worked a full count from Shawn Kelley before delivering a clean single to left-centre. NOTES: Jeter was serenaded with chants of his name and a standing ovation for the second straight night of his final regular-season series at the Big A. He reached base three times, getting the Yankees first hit in the third inning. ... Wilson has thrown at least 111 pitches in all seven of his starts this season. ... Kuroda is winless in his last 10 road starts. Malcolm Butler Titans Jersey . Just ask Arsenal fans.

Luckily for the Winnipeg Goldeyes, they made sure the game was in hand before that happened. The Goldeyes (45-27) traded blows with the Sioux Falls Canaries (26-27) Saturday night for the first six innings before pulling late away to post a 12-6 win Saturday night at Sioux Falls Stadium. The win maintains Winnipegs 3 ½ game lead atop the American Associations North Division and improves the Goldeyes record to 11-1 on getaway day. Down 4-1 in the top of the third inning, the Goldeyes took their first lead of the game when Casey Haerther hit a three-run home run and Luis Alen drove in Donnie Webb with a single. After Sioux Falls regained the lead with a two-run home run from Carlos Mendez in the bottom of the third, Donnie Webb took Canaries starter Kyle Vazquez deep for a two-run homer, which ended up giving the Goldeyes the lead for good. Winnipeg added two more runs in the top of the seventh on a pair of sac flies and three more in the top of the eighth – Webb added two more RBI on a single - to seal the win. Webb paced the Goldeyes offensive onslaught by going four-for-five with a home run and four RBI. Haerther, Alen and Kimmel also had multi-RBI nights. “A lot of guys had really good at-bats, seeing pitches and waiting for that one pitch thatt they could handle,” Goldeyes pitching coach Jamie Vermilyea said on the Jewel 101 post-game show.dddddddddddd. Goldeyes starter Nick Hernandez grinded through the first three innings to earn his seventh win of the season. He gave up six runs – four earned – in 5 2/3 innings, while walking one and striking out six. “He battled out there,” Vermilyea said of Hernandez. “He didnt have his best stuff. He turned to his changeup, which is his best pitch. He started throwing that a bunch and he got us into the sixth, which is what you want your starter to do.” Taylor Sewitt, Gabe Aguilar, Kaohi Downing and Chris Kissock gave up just one hit and struck out five in 3 1/3 combined innings out of Winnipegs bullpen. Vazquez took the loss for Sioux Falls. Winnipeg will now make the quick drive south down I-29 to Sioux City where the Goldeyes will begin a four-game series against the Explorers Sunday night. The Goldeyes have yet to name their starter, while Sioux City will send Jesse English (0-1, 16.88) to the mound. “Its a short trip, so we can get in there tonight and get a good nights rest before starting a series with Sioux City,” Vermilyea said. “Theyre a quality team.” Winnipeg will be out for revenge, as the Xs took five of six games at Shaw Park earlier this season.
