A-Rod reaches century mark, Yanks top Royals 9-2

Hideki Matsui's two-run first inning single got the Yankee bats off to a good start, and Alex Rodriguez provided some insurance with a ninth inning single to drive in his 100th run of the season as the Yanks won their fourth in a row, 9-2 in Kansas City.

A-Rod has now recorded at least 100 RBI for the 11th consecutive year, having reached the milestone in the Yankees 98th game of the season. Four more runs would follow in the ninth as the Yanks turned a 4-2 game into a rout.

Roger Clemens picked up his third win, allowing two runs over seven innings of work. Luis Vizcaino followed with a perfect eighth, sparing us all the torture of having to deal with Kyle Farnsworth in a two-run game, and Ron Villone closed things out as the Yanks kept pace with the Red Sox, who beat Cleveland 6-2. The Yanks picked up a game in the wild card standings as a result.
