SEATTLE -- Ted Lilly came close to pitching Saturday's second no-hitter in the major leagues but lost his bid and the game, too.

Desi Relaford singled with one out in the eighth inning, driving in the game's only run and giving the Seattle Mariners their only hit in a 1-0 victory over the New York Yankees.

Earlier Saturday, Boston's Derek Lowe pitched the major leagues' first no-hitter of the season, a 10-0 win over the Tampa Bay Devil Rays. Only once in major league history have two no-hitters been thrown in one day.

Lilly (0-2), who had never pitched more than 6 2/3 innings as a starter in the major leagues, walked Dan Wilson with one out in the eighth inning, and pinch-runner Luis Ugueto took second on a wild pitch.

Relaford then lined a single into right field as Ugueto easily scored. Lilly immediately backed up home, then hung his head a little bit as he returned to the mound.

Rangers 4, Indians 2

ARLINGTON, Texas -- Rob Bell won his first start of the season and Alex Rodriguez drove in two runs, leading Texas over Cleveland, the Indians' 10th loss in 12 games.

Bell (1-0), recalled from the minors before the game, allowed one run and four hits in six innings.

Orioles 9, Royals 4

KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Tony Batista homered twice and drove in five runs, giving him nine RBIs in two games, as Baltimore beat Kansas City.

Melvin Mora and Geronimo Gil also homered to help Sidney Ponson (1-1) win for the first time in eight decisions. The Orioles, who have won six of eight after starting 4-11, scored their first seven runs with two outs.

Athletics 16, White Sox 1

OAKLAND, Calif. -- Scott Hatteberg, Terrence Long, Carlos Pena and Frank Menechino all homered in a seven-run third inning as Oakland routed Chicago.

The four-homer inning matched the franchise record. The last time the A's hit as many was Aug. 1, 1999, against Tampa Bay.

Tigers 5, Twins 1

DETROIT -- Rookie Nate Cornejo pitched his first career complete game in the major leagues, scattering nine hits as Detroit beat Minnesota.

Randall Simon homered and drove in three runs and Bobby Higginson drove in two runs and scored twice. The Tigers won for the third time in four games while Minnesota has lost four of five.
