(AP) — Jemile Weeks managed to get a ground ball past Royals first base- man Eric Hosmer for a leadoff double Friday night, and for a fleeting moment it seemed as if the Oakland Athletics might emerge from their offensive funk. Then their next eight hit- ters went down with a whimper. 2 0 Sports when he wandered too far from first base in the fourth. ''Those were all big outs for us,'' Royals manager Ned Yost said. Yuniesky Betancourt Felipe Paulino sliced through their lineup with cruel efficiency, and the Kansas City bullpen han- dled the final three innings, dooming Oakland to a 2-0 defeat and its ninth straight loss. came off the disabled list to provide an RBI double in the first, and Mike Mous- takas added an RBI blooper to left later in the inning, providing the only runs in the game. Still, it was enough for the Royals to win for the sixth time in 23 home games. Paulino (3-1) has The losing streak is the longest for the Athletics since last May and June, and six times in their last 16 games they've been shut out. Their 10 shutouts over- all are most in the majors. ''It's pretty much the same story offensively. We're having some strug- gles,'' Oakland manager Bob Melvin said. ''No mat- ter what you're doing, you're always trying to find things to do to better your- self. We're just having trou- ble doing it.'' ing. That goes without say- Oakland has been outscored 39-12 during its current losing streak, and came into the night ranked last in the majors in batting average (.210) and slugging percentage (.338), and sec- ond-to-last in on-base per- centage and runs. Even when the Athletics got runners on base, they didn't get anything to show for it. Weeks was cut down try- ing to steal third with two aboard and two out in the third inning, and Yoenis Cespedes was picked off NEW YORK (AP) — Johan Santana pitched the first no-hitter in New York Mets' history, helped by an umpire's missed call and an outstanding catch in left field in an 8-0 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals on Friday night. emerged as the ace of the Royals' haphazard starting rotation, holding the oppo- sition off the scoreboard through six innings for the fourth time in six starts. He allowed three hits against Oakland while strik- ing out five and walking three. ''Everything is going good for me,'' Paulino said. ''I got in a couple of situa- tions in the third and fourth, but I tried to put up zeroes and I did that.'' Both of the Royals' runs were charged to Bartolo Colon (4-6), who recovered from a sloppy start to last seven innings — an encour- aging outing after going 1-3 with a 7.92 ERA in May. ''A veteran like him doesn't let a couple of runs early on fluster him,'' Melvin said. ''He just puts that aside and goes out and pitches the game.'' The Royals nearly added 1B Weekend June 2-3, 2012 A's lose ninth straight to their first-inning cushion, but Alcides Escobar grounded out to leave two runners aboard in the first.

''Finally, the first one,'' Santana said. ''That is the greatest feeling ever.'' He needed a couple of key assists to pull off the majors' third no-hitter this season. Carlos Beltran, back at Citi Field for the first time since the Mets traded him last July, hit a line drive over third base in the sixth inning that hit the foul line and should have been called fair. But third base umpire Adri- an Johnson ruled it foul and the no-hitter was intact — even though a replay clearly showed a mark where the •7 p.m., FSN — Champion Beibut Shu- menov (12-1-0) vs. Enrique Ornelas (33- 7-0), for WBA light heavyweight title, at Las Vegas COLLEGE BASEBALL •4 p.m., ESPN2 — NCAA Division I playoffs, regionals, game 4, Mississippi St.-Samford winner vs. Florida St.-UAB winner at Tallahassee, Fla.

Hometown kid Mike Baxter then made a tremen- dous catch in left field to rob Yadier Molina of extra bases in the seventh. Baxter crashed into the wall, injured his shoulder and left the game. Making his 11th start since missing last season following shoulder surgery, Santana (3-2) threw a career-high 134 pitches in his second consecutive shutout. He struck out eight and walked five.

''I don't think anybody is too happy where we are right now,'' said Oakland Jonathan Broxton first baseman Kila Ka'ai- hue, who was 0 for 3.

Santana pumped his left fist and slammed it into his glove as Thole showed the ball to plate umpire Gary Cederstrom and then went running out toward the mound. The Mets rushed out of the dugout and mobbed Santana in a raucous dogpile as security tackled a fan who ran onto the field near home plate.
