Baseball Betting Lines

04/10/2009 - Kansas City, MO (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Andy Pettitte scattered three hits and one run through seven innings, as the New York Yankees topped Kansas City, 4-1, in the opener of a three-game set.

Pettitte (1-0) held his foes in check with six strikeouts and one walk, en route to his 216th career victory.

Jorge Posada knocked in a pair of runs for the Yankees, who evened their record after losing two-of-three at Baltimore to start the season. Nick Swisher and Derek Jeter also added RBI.

Mike Jacobs knocked in the lone run for the Royals, who opened their season by winning two-of-three in Chicago against the White Sox.

Sidney Ponson (0-1), who was called up from Triple-A to start the game and fill the roster spot vacated by the injured Jose Guillen, was charged with six hits and four runs over six innings, fanning five with three walks.

The Yanks got to Ponson early, putting up two runs in the first on a sizzling two-RBI base hit from Posada. The Royals countered in the home second, on a two-out walk to Billy Butler followed by a double from Jacobs.

In the fourth, New York picked up two more runs courtesy of a Swisher double to plate Robinson Cano and a fielder's choice grounder by Jeter to plate Swisher.

Kansas City's best chance to cut into its deficit came in the fifth, as Butler led off with a double. However, the next three batters were retired in succession without advancing the runner.

Pettitte closed out his start by retiring nine of the final 10 batters he faced from the fifth through the seventh.

Brian Bruney fanned a pair while blanking the Royals in the eighth, then Mariano Rivera closed out the game with a scoreless ninth to earn his first save of the season.
