Weaver shutout
ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) — Juan Rivera homered twice, Jered Weaver pitched his first career shutout and the Los Angeles Angels beat the San Diego Padres 6-0 to complete a three-game sweep Sunday afternoon.
Weaver (7-2) worked quickly on the mound and struck out five while only giving up five hits. He threw 119 pitches, 80 strikes, and won his fourth straight. It was the third complete game of his career — all have come this season.
He got out of jams with spectacular fielding gems from teammates — Gary Matthews Jr. made up for a bases-running snafu when he made a diving catch on Henry Blanco's hit in the third and Rivera robbed a hit by Kevin Kouzmanoff when he ran out a long ball in left field in the fourth.
Rivera's two homers came a day after teammate Torii Hunter hit three against the Padres, who have given up 13 home runs in their last five games.
Rivera hit one off of Padres' starter Chris Young in the third and added another solo shot in the fifth off middle reliever Edwin Moreno.
Young (4-6) had poor command of his pitches early, walking four straight while giving up five hits in 2 1-3 innings of work. He gave up an RBI single to Vladimir Guerrero in the first and walked a runner home before giving up a two-run single to Hunter in the second that gave Los Angeles a 4-0 lead.
Walking Kendry Morales in the third after giving up the homer to Rivera chased Young, who lost his fourth straight game in his shortest outing of the season.
Young hasn't fared well in Los Angeles. He gave up four homers in a loss to the Dodgers on June 9.
Playing in Los Angeles hasn't fared well for Young, who gave up four home runs in a Dodgers loss on June 9.
Notes: Angels' reliever Scot Shields will have season-ending surgery on Tuesday for patella tendinitis. ... Angels' manager Mike Scioscia said pitcher Kelvim Escobar would throw off of flat ground on Sunday. Escobar, who missed the entire 2008 season with a torn labrum and was on the 60-day DL this season for right shoulder pain, could throw out of the bullpen for the remainder of this season. He appeared in one game on June 6 as a starter, but was shut down.

Gonchar tore MCL
PITTSBURGH (AP) — Pittsburgh Penguins defenseman Sergei Gonchar played the final two rounds of the Stanley Cup playoffs with a partially torn right medial collateral ligament, a major injury that can sideline an athlete for months.
Gonchar, playing through the injury because he wanted to win the Stanley Cup for the first time in an NHL career that began during the 1994-95 season, was injured during a knee-to-knee hit by Washington star Alex Ovechkin in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference semifinals.
Gonchar missed two games, returned for Game 7 of that series and played in the conference finals against Carolina and the Stanley Cup finals against Detroit without missing another game for the Stanley Cup champion Penguins.
"Lots of guys were playing with bruises," Gonchar said Sunday of refusing to be sidelined.
Defenseman Kris Letang also had an undisclosed but significant injury during the playoffs, but Penguins coach Dan Bylsma said Sunday only that, "There were lots of guys that were dinged up and patched together."
Bylsma did not reveal any of the injuries.
Gonchar was initially told after getting hurt May 8 that he might be out a month to six weeks, only to return in a week.
A point man on the Penguins' power play, Gonchar wasn't as productive as usual following his second serious injury of the season, getting one goal and four assists in his final 12 games. The goal came during Pittsburgh's 4-2 victory in Game 3 against Detroit.
Gonchar missed the first two-thirds of the NHL season with a shoulder injury that occurred during the Penguins' first preseason game. Despite getting hurt again, he told teammates he couldn't sit out during the most important time of the season.
"I told the guys they were realizing how important it is now, in the playoffs, it's that time of the year when you have the chance to make your dream come true," Gonchar said. "That's why you're playing through everything, just to get it. It's not only me, everybody sacrificed somehow to get it."
Penguins captain Sidney Crosby said the jammed left knee that put him on the bench for all but one shift during the second half of Pittsburgh's 2-1 victory in Game 7 of the Stanley Cup finals Friday in Detroit isn't serious.
On Sunday, a doctor told Crosby that an MRI exam probably won't be needed.
"In a few weeks, it should be all right," said Crosby, who will take part in the Penguins' victory parade Monday in Pittsburgh.

11th straight win for Rockies
DENVER (AP) — Garrett Atkins and Todd Helton had three hits each and the Colorado Rockies beat the Seattle Mariners 7-1 on Sunday, matching the franchise record with their 11th straight win.
Brad Hawpe doubled twice and Clint Barmes had two hits for Colorado, which has swept three straight series and is 13-4 under interim manager Jim Tracy.
The Rockies won 11 straight from Sept. 16-27, 2007, when they surged to the NL Wild Card. They won 14 of their last 15 that season, including a one-game playoff against San Diego to win the Wild Card.
Colorado then won seven straight playoff games, sweeping Philadelphia in the NL Divisional playoff and Arizona in the NLCS before being swept by Boston in the World Series.
The Rockies' 11 consecutive wins ties the Red Sox for the longest win streak in the majors this year. The Red Sox won 11 in a row from April 15-27.
Jason Hammel (4-3) gave up one run on five hits in 5 1-3 innings. He struck out six and didn't walk a batter to earn his fourth straight win.
Seattle starter Jason Vargas (2-2) gave up seven runs and 12 hits, walked two and struck out four in 4 2-3 innings.
Ichiro Suzuki had two hits for Seattle.
Ahead 2-1 after four, the Rockies blew it open in the fifth. Helton and Atkins started the inning with singles and Hawpe doubled to left to drive in Helton. One out later, Troy Tulowitzki was intentionally walked and Chris Iannetta drove a double to the wall in left-center to clear the bases.
After Hammel grounded out, rookie Dexter Fowler doubled home Iannetta to make it 7-1.
The Mariners took a 1-0 lead on Jose Lopez's sacrifice fly in the first inning. Tulowitzki tied it with a sacrifice fly in the second, and the Rockies took a 2-1 lead in the third when Helton singled to drive in Barmes.
NOTES: The game was delayed by rain for 55 minutes with one out in the top of the sixth. The Denver area was also under a tornado warning during the rain delay. ... Rockies RHP Taylor Buchholz will have Tommy John surgery on his right elbow next Wednesday or Thursday, manager Jim Tracy said. Buchholz sprained the ligament while warming up in the bullpen before his first spring training appearance on Feb. 26 against the Chicago White Sox and has been on the disabled list all season. ... Mariners C Kenji Johjima (broken big toe on his left foot) will join the team in San Diego on Monday.

Yankees win over Mets in 15-0 rout
NEW YORK (AP) — Derek Jeter and the New York Yankees hammered Johan Santana in the worst start of his career, routing the Mets 15-0 on Sunday for the biggest blowout in Subway Series history.
Jeter went 4 for 4 and the Yankees got two-run homers from Hideki Matsui and Robinson Cano in a nine-run fourth inning, chasing Santana early to take two of three in a testy series at Yankee Stadium.
Mets closer Francisco Rodriguez shouted at Yankees reliever Brian Bruney in left field during batting practice and the two were separated by teammates, one day after they exchanged barbs through the media.
Once the first pitch was thrown, the Yankees provided all the fireworks.
They needed only four innings to set a season high for runs in a game, building a huge cushion for A.J. Burnett (5-3). They finished with 17 hits, three by No. 9 batter Francisco Cervelli, and pulled several stars before the seventh.
Mets manager Jerry Manuel wasn't around at the end, either. He was ejected by plate umpire Jim Wolf for arguing after David Wright took exception to a called third strike in the sixth.
Santana (8-4) didn't look right all day. The velocity on his fastball was down, around 89-90 mph, and he was touched up for four two-out runs in the second.
The two-time Cy Young Award winner worked a 1-2-3 third against Mark Teixeira, Alex Rodriguez and Cano — but failed to get another out.
He walked Nick Swisher leading off the fourth and Matsui followed with his 10th home run. Melky Cabrera lashed a line-drive double, Cervelli singled and Jeter made it 7-0 with an RBI single that chased Santana, who walked slowly off the mound and removed his cap before reaching the dugout.
Johnny Damon greeted Brian Stokes with an RBI double and Jeter scored when Alex Rodriguez grounded into a double play.
That closed the book on Santana, who allowed a career-high nine runs and nine hits in three-plus innings — matching his shortest start. His ERA spiked from 2.39 to 3.29.
After giving up four earned runs in his first seven outings this season, the left-hander has yielded 26 runs in his last six.
The last time Santana went only three innings was Sept. 26, 2007, with Minnesota at Detroit, where he was pulled after a long rain delay.
The last time he was lifted so quickly without a weather problem was May 23, 2004, when he went three-plus innings in a 17-7 loss for the Twins against the Chicago White Sox.
Flashing a sharp slider, Burnett allowed only four singles in seven innings. He struck out eight and walked four to rebound from a rough start Tuesday night at Fenway Park, where he was chased in the third inning as Boston began a three-game sweep of the Yankees.
The right-hander pumped his first after escaping a bases-loaded, none-out jam in the third and cruised from there.
Cano doubled twice and drove in three runs. Damon also had three RBIs for the Yankees, who won the series opener 9-8 when Mets second baseman Luis Castillo dropped Alex Rodriguez's two-out popup in the ninth inning, allowing two runs to score.
Castillo drew a loud cheer when he caught a first-inning popup.
The injury-riddled Mets have lost four of five.
Swisher, who walked and scored twice in the fourth, knocked the Mets around right from the start.
He ran down Alex Cora's leadoff drive to deep right and banged into the auxiliary scoreboard, dislodging the "Mets" sign next to their linescore and some blue padding at the bottom of the fence.
Swisher replaced the padding with his spikes — a worker reached through from inside the scoreboard and straightened the "Mets" sign.
NOTES: Yankees C Jorge Posada was rested to give him consecutive days off, including Monday's off day. ... Gary Sheffield was the DH for the Mets again. He plans to have an MRI on his sore right knee soon. ... It was Manuel's third ejection this season.

Brian Gay shot a 4-under 66
MEMPHIS, June 14 (UPI) -- Brian Gay shot a 4-under 66 Sunday to complete his wire-to-wire victory in the St. Jude Classic PGA tournament at TPC Southwind in Memphis.
Gay finished with an 18-under 262 for the tournament, five strokes ahead of two-time winner David Toms (65) and Bryce Molder (70).
The victory earned Gay a trip to next week's U.S. Open at Bethpage Black.
"I don't know if we'll go home or straight up there tomorrow or what," Gay said when asked about his last-minute trip to New York. "I've got a lot of stuff with me and a lot of dirty clothes."
Gay was a model of consistency during the tournament despite stormy weather that delayed Sunday's round. He shot a 64 Thursday and then went on to card the consecutive 66s.
"I putted great," said Gay. "I hit my irons pretty well. I didn't have my best game off the tee with my driver. I hung in there."
He began play Sunday with a one-stroke lead over Molder but birdied the second hole and then the fourth on a clutch 20-foot putt while Molder carded a bogey.
After sinking another long birdie putt on the sixth, Gay bogeyed No. 10. He responded by nearly acing the 11th hole. He finished the round with a birdie on the final hole.

Peck scores 14 in Ind. All-Stars wins against KY.
LOUISVILLE, Ky. - The Indiana Boys' All-Stars didn't need a monster game from Mr. Basketball Jordan Hulls.
Hulls of Bloomington South scored just four, but had five rebounds, five assists and two steals as Indiana completed a sweep of its rival Kentucky All-Stars 64-49, Sunday at Bellarmine University. Indiana was paced by 14 points by Errick Peck from Indianapolis Cathedral.
"I had great teammates," said Hulls, who has signed with Indiana University. "As long as we come out with the win, that's all that matters."
Indiana trailed only briefly early in the game and led 37-20 at halftime behind Peck's 11 points.
Kentucky, which lost to the Hoosiers Saturday in Indianapolis, 78-65, made only five of 24 shots from the field in the first half for 22.2 percent. For the game, Kentucky wasn't much better, making 17 of 70 for 24.2 percent, including just two of 16 from 3-point range.
Indiana didn't have a great shooting game, making 24 of 68 for 35.2 percent, but outrebounded the smaller Kentucky squad 51-46.
"I was really, really proud of the mind-set of all 13 guys," said Indiana coach David Wood of West Lafayette. "It's human nature to have a let-down. We kept the commitment of going inside to out."
Indiana led 45-27 with 16:45 to play when Kentucky scored five straight points to get within 45-34.
The Hoosiers put the game away, scoring seven straight points for a 52-34 lead. Kentucky could get no closer than 61-49.
Kentucky's Mr. Basketball Jon Hood of Madisonville struggled, scoring eight points with six rebounds. Hood made just two of nine shots from the field. He has signed to play at the University of Kentucky.
Louisville Central's Ridge Wilson, who has signed to play football at Kentucky, led the Bluegrass with 11 points. Aaron Wilson of Fulton City High added eight points and 15 rebounds.
"He (Hood) is really, really good," said Wood. "We had to keep him from getting into the lane and getting to the hole. He didn't get much."
Indiana leads the annual series 82-42 and has won 11 of 12
