De La Rosa, Royals shut down Rodriguez, Yankees

<h3>KANSAS CITY 7, NY YANKEES 0</h3>KANSAS CITY, Missouri (Ticker) -- Jorge De La Rosa helpedensure that Alex Rodriguez would have to wait at least one moreday to reach the 500 home run mark.


De La Rosa pitched effectively into the sixth inning and MarkGrudzielanek hit an RBI triple to cap a four-run second as theKansas City Royals avoided a four-game sweep with a 7-0 victoryover the New York Yankees on Thursday.


De La Rosa (8-10) hurled 5 1/3 scoreless innings, yielding sixhits and two walks with five strikeouts as Kansas City snappedNew York's six-game winning streak.


The 26-year-old De La Rosa, who surrendered Rodriguez's 400thcareer home run on June 8, 2005, held the Yankee superstarhitless in three plate appearances.


The Mexican lefthander did issue Rodriguez an intentional passin the first inning and hit him with a pitch to load the basesin the fifth. De La Rosa got Hideki Matsui to ground out to endthe threat.


De La Rosa had allowed 10 runs, nine hits and eight walks over 72/3 innings in his previous two starts.


The 31-year-old Rodriguez, who blasted his 499th career inWednesday's 7-1 triumph over the Royals, is looking to becomethe youngest player in major-league history to reach themilestone. He turns 32 on Friday.


Facing reliever Zack Greinke in the eighth inning, Rodriguezgrounded out to third in his final opportunity of the day tobecome the 22nd player to hit 500 career home runs.

Grudzielanek gave Kansas City a 4-0 lead in the second when hesmacked a 0-2 offering from Yankee starter Kei Igawa (2-3) todeep right field for a triple, which plated David DeJesus.

Grudzielanek is batting .486 with five RBI and 10 runs scoredover his current eight-game hitting streak. The 37-year-oldWisconsin native has raised his batting average from .275 to.302 in that span.


The second-inning uprising started when Tony Pena followed AlexGordon's double with a triple to give the Royals a 1-0advantage. After Esteban German drew a two-out walk, DeJesusdrove in two more runs by driving a double to deep right.

The Royals tacked on another run after Gordon delivered atwo-out triple in the sixth inning and scored on Pena's doubleto take a 5-0 lead.


Gordon gave Kansas City a 7-0 lead in the eighth inning with hisseventh home run of the season.


Later in the inning, Pena drew a walk for the first time in aclub-record 244 plate appearances.


The Yankees had scored 70 runs in their six-game streak.

Igawa gave up five runs and seven hits with two walks and fivestrikeouts over 5 2/3 innings. The Japanese rookie has notrecorded a win since April 28, posting an 0-2 record with a 7.32ERA over seven starts.


In his first appearance with the Yankees since being acquired ina trade from the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, Jose Molinawent 2-for-4. The Puerto Rican catcher batted .224 with 10 RBIin 40 games with the Angels this season.
