Facing him at this level, thats good for the country. I enjoyed this game and I took the win. Thats great for me.Frazier, who will go for his second straight Home Run Derby title Monday, hit a two-run shot in the second and an RBI double in Chicagos three-run third. He also connected in Friday nights 11-8 loss in the series opener.I feel stronger, I feel more relaxed, a little quicker swing, Frazier said. For me, its hitting good pitches. I say this all the time, if Im swinging outside the zone Im going to have some trouble. I feel really good at the plate right now.Teheran (3-8) allowed five runs and nine hits over six innings. The All-Star, who missed his last start with an infection in his right thigh, enjoyed facing Quintana.Were pretty close, Teheran said. Sometimes in the offseason we get to work together.

Fans in yellow Colombia shirts above their flag cheered.I think we have better baseball now, Quintana said. Its good for us and Im proud.TRAINERS ROOMBraves: C Tyler Flowers left with a left hand injury in the second inning and wont play Sunday.

It was hard for Luck to pull off another comeback, or even get into the end zone, while standing on the sideline. Rivers threw a 22-yard touchdown pass to rookie Keenan Allen and Nick Novak kicked four field goals to give the Chargers a 19-9 victory against the Colts on Monday night. NEW YORK -- Jeremy Guthrie was on a roll -- against the Yankees, no less. Neither hail nor sun shower was going to stop him. No way. Guthrie neatly handled a nemesis and a 59-minute delay to pitch into the seventh inning, Billy Butler homered and the Kansas City Royals held on to beat New York 5-1 Monday night. "Tremendous competitor," Kansas City manager Ned Yost said of Guthrie. "He showed it today -- to endure an hour rain delay and go out and throw at the level that he threw." All-Star Alex Gordon, David Lough and Johnny Giavotella each had RBI doubles, and Alcides Escobar added a run-scoring triple to help the Royals end a five-game skid against New York. "Its been tough every year Ive been here to come in and get a win," Butler said. "It means a lot." Guthrie (8-6) gave up three hits over six innings, albeit to a Yankees lineup that had only four players that were with the team on opening day. Leading 5-1, closer Greg Holland was needed in the ninth when Lyle Overbay walked and Luis Cruz singled to start the inning against Luke Hochevar. Holland gave up a hit to Chris Stewart to load the bases. But Holland struck out Eduardo Nunez, Brett Gardner and Zoilo Almonte to end it for his 21st save. "Hollys been lights out for us," Yost said. Guthrie twice struck out the newest member in pinstripes, Travis Ishikawa, before Overbay homered pinch hitting for the first baseman who was claimed off waivers from Baltimore on Sunday. Overbays 10th of the year was New Yorks first long ball in six games. "Not an easy lineup to pitch, too," he said. "Obviously they have their injuries now and are missing a lot of keys so you go out there and try to attack them as best as you can." Entering 4-9 with a 5.15 ERA against the Yankees in 17 appearances -- 15 starts -- Guthrie left with runners on first and third and two outs in the seventh. Tim Collins relieved and struck out pinch-hitter Nunez to protect a 3-1 lead. Aaron Crow relieved Collins in the eighth with two on, two out and got Vernon Wells to ground out to second. The Yankees have lost two in a row after a season-best six straight wins. With the sun reflecting off the windows of a building beyond centre field, rain and hail sent fans scurrying for cover in the bottom of the third inning. The quick moving cloud was gone before Phil Hughes (4-8) threw his first pitch of the fourth. Hughes retired three straight with the faintest of rainbows arcing over the scoreboard, then the rain returned. After Guthrie got an out with his 37th pitch, crew chief Dana DeMuth called for the tarp. As "Singin in the Rain" blared over the PA system, the grounds crew struggled to cover the increasingly muddy infield, getting stuck halfway then pulliing the huge sheet off and starting again.dddddddddddd The biggest cheer of the night -- until Overbays homer in the seventh -- came when the crew finished the job. Guthries previous outing was delayed by rain at the start for over 2 hours, 30 minutes, then for 12 more minutes in the seventh by a power outage. He was better prepared for the break this time. "After last game I was trying treat it a little bit different, be a little more focused," he said. The right-hander threw every 10 to 15 minutes in the batting cage to stay warm, treating the time as if it were a game. Guthrie completed the fourth on six pitches. Adam Warren replaced Hughes to start the fifth. Hughes gave up two runs and four hits in his abbreviated outing. "He had already thrown a lot and with him coming back second, it would have been an hour-and-15-minute break for him," Yankees manager Joe Girardi said. "I wasnt real comfortable bringing him back after an hour or so." Hughes wouldve liked to stay if only because he finally felt as if he had got in a groove after the second. "Its tough. I felt like I really found something," he said. In the third and fourth innings I felt pretty good, but thats baseball." Passed over for the Home Run Derby last year at the All-Star game in Kansas City by AL captain Robinson Cano, Butler sent a drive the opposite way to right field leading off the second. Fans relentlessly booed Cano at Butlers home field during the competition last July. Captain of the AL home run team again this year, Cano again did not choose Butler -- the Orioles Chris Davis and Detroits Prince Fielder were his first two picks announced Monday. But it would be hard to object this time. Butlers long ball was only his seventh -- and hes not on the All-Star team. An out later, Mike Moustakas lined an opposite-field double to left, and Lough made it 2-0 with a shot that just landed fair down the third base line for a double the opposite way. Royals centre fielder Jarrod Dyson helped preserve the 3-0 lead in sixth when he made a diving catch of Almontes sinking liner in right-centre with Gardner on first. "I think the game was won with the Dyson play," Guthrie said. Giavotella drove in a run in the seventh, and Gordon and Escobar had back-to-back RBIs in the ninth. NOTES: When asked if SS Derek Jeter (broken ankle) could return to the Yankees this weekend, manager Joe Girardi said, "Theres always a chance. You just have to see how he does the next three or four days." Jeter went 0 for 2 with a walk and a run scored in five innings for Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Monday night. ... The Royals are moving Bruce Chen (3-0, 2.41) into the starting rotation and shifting Luis Mendoza (2-5, 4.87). Chen will start Friday against Cleveland. ' ' '
