Yankees set error-free games record

CLEVELAND -- Joba Chamberlain allowed two runs in a career-high eight innings and the New York Yankees set a record for consecutive games without making an error in a 5-2 victory against the Cleveland Indians on Monday.

Chamberlain (3-1) retired the first 11 batters before Martinez's home run in the fourth. He allowed four hits, walked two and struck out five. Mariano Rivera worked a perfect ninth for his 11th save in 12 chances.

New York played error free for the 18th straight game, and surpassing Boston's mark of 17 games set in 2006. New York's last error came on May 13 at Toronto when shortstop Ramiro Pena misplayed a ground ball.

Nick Swisher doubled home a pair of runs and Alex Rodriguez singled home two more in a four-run seventh inning.

Orioles 1, Mariners 0

SEATTLE -- Rich Hill threw seven scoreless innings, Adam Jones and George Sherrill came up big against their former team and the Orioles beat the Mariners.

The Orioles sent former ace Erik Bedard to the Mariners for top outfield prospect Jones, reliever Sherrill and three other players in 2008. While Bedard has been hampered by injuries, Jones and Sherrill have flourished in Baltimore.

Jones doubled and scored the only run Tuesday night on a sacrifice fly by Aubrey Huff off Jarrod Washburn (3-4) in the sixth inning. After Jim Johnson struck out two in a perfect eighth, Sherrill finished for his 11th save in 13 chances.
