MLB: Wood's big blast lifts the Angels

ANAHEIM, Calif. — This was the kind of big hit the Los Angeles Angels hoped to see all season from Brandon Wood.

Wood hit his first career grand slam and Mike Napoli added a three-run homer Sunday as the Angels routed the Colorado Rockies 10-3.

A top prospect for years in the minors, Wood entered the game with only two home runs and a .173 batting average.

"I haven't put a swing like that on a ball the entire year, even in spring training," said Wood, who has spent some time with the Salt Lake Bees this season.

"I've been working on trying to get that swing back to where I'm driving the ball. Today was the first day where it was my swing. I wasn't thinking about working on this or that. I was just being me. It felt good."

Wood's slam capped a five-run eighth that broke open the game.

YANKEES 8, DODGERS 6 (10): At Los Angeles, Robinson Cano hit a two-run homer in the 10th inning after the Yankees rallied with four runs in the ninth off Dodgers closer Jonathan Broxton and New York beat Los Angeles in a stunning ending to manager Joe Torre's first series against his old team. Mark Teixeira led off the 10th with a single off Ramon Troncoso (1-2) and Alex Rodriguez grounded into a force play. Torre brought in left-hander George Sherrill, whose second pitch was driven into the left-field pavilion by Cano for his 15th homer.

PHILLIES 11, BLUE JAYS 2: At Philadelphia, Jamie Moyer gave up his record-breaking 506th home run but was sharp otherwise, and the Phillies took advantage of Toronto's troubles to beat the Blue Jays. Moyer's only mistake was a two-run homer by Vernon Wells in the third inning. Moyer passed former Phillies Hall of Famer Robin Roberts for the most homers allowed in a career.

CUBS 8, WHITE SOX 6: At Chicago, The White Sox's 11-game winning streak came to an end when a ninth-inning rally fell short. The White Sox scored three times in the bottom of the ninth. But Alex Rios struck out swinging against Carlos Marmol with runners at first and second to finish it. The White Sox had their longest winning string since a 12-game run in June 1961.

DIAMONDBACKS 2, RAYS 1: At St. Petersburg, Fla., Tampa Bay stars Evan Longoria and B.J. Upton had to be separated in a dugout dispute after Gerardo Parra hit a two-run homer in the fifth inning that helped Arizona beat the Rays. Rodrigo Lopez and three relievers combined on a two-hitter for the Diamondbacks, who took two of three from the Rays.
