The Daily Astorian NEW YORK (AP) — Alex Rodriguez passed Willie Mays for fourth on the career home run list, connecting for No. 661 Thursday night and helping the New York Yankees beat the Bal- timore Orioles 4-3.

The Yankees, who said they will not pay a $6 million bonus after he matched the Say Hey Kid on Friday in Boston, put a message on the main video- board saying, “661 Home Runs. Alex Rodriguez just surpassed Willie Mays for sole possession of 4th place on baseball’s all- time home runs list.” 7KHVOXJJHUSXPSHGKLV¿VW DVKHURXQGHG¿UVWEDVHDQGIDQV gave Rodriguez a standing ova- tion as he was greeted warmly in the dugout by his teammates. Mark Teixeira stepped out of the batter’s box as the cheers VZHOOHG 5RGULJXH] EULHÀ\ emerged from the dugout and waved to the crowd with both hands above his head. Rodriguez, who turns 40 in July, moved into a tie for fourth in the AL this season with seven home runs. He didn’t play last year while serving a drug sus- pension. The Yankees and A-Rod have a marketing agreement that calls for $6 million each for XSWR¿YHDFKLHYHPHQWVSD\DEOH within 15 days of designation by the team. But New York has said the marketing possibilities were ruined after Rodriguez served his performance-enhancing drug penalty for his involvement in the Biogenesis scandal. The accomplishments were contemplated to be homers 660, 714, 755 (Hank Aaron), 762 (Barry Bonds) and 763 as he moved up baseball’s list. No payment likely would trigger a grievance on Rodri- guez’s behalf by the players’ union.

Rodriguez was just 4 for 21 since his pinch-hit homer into the seats above the Green Monster at Fenway Park gave New York the lead in the eighth inning Friday. To get that mile- stone long ball, Red Sox securi- ty traded several pieces of mem- orabilia autographed by David Ortiz. Like his 600th homer on Aug 4, 2010, which landed in Monu- ment Park, the 14-time All-Star will have no trouble retrieving this ball.

Hudson allows 15 hits as Giants fall to Marlins SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — On a night when he al- lowed more hits than any San Francisco pitcher in 47 years, two stood out to Tim Hudson. Opposing pitcher Dan Ha- ren sparked a pair of rallies with two of Miami’s 15 hits off Hudson and the Marlins beat the Giants 7-2 on Thurs- day night. “Pretty much the differ- ence in the game was their starting pitcher offensively,” Hudson said. “If I can just get him out then we have a pretty good chance to win the ball- game. For six innings, Haren (4- 1) did most of the damage against Hudson (1-3). He hit a two-run double and scored later in the second and added a single and a run scored in WKH¿IWK Marcell Ozuna added a two- run homer off a tiring Hudson in the seventh to send the Mar- lins to their 14th win in their last 19 games in San Francisco. “He made a few more mistakes than he normally does,” manag- er Bruce Bochy said. “He was a little off tonight, but again, four runs going into the seventh. We just couldn’t do anything offen- sively.” Haren allowed two runs and eight hits in seven innings to extend his strong start to his Marlins career after contem- plating retirement following his offseason trade from the Dodgers to Miami.
