New York's Roger Clemens hits a single against Colorado. The Rockies defeated the Yankees, 4-3, on Thursday in Denver.

Denver ? The New York Yankees couldn’t wait to get back to Coors Field after scoring a record 41 times on their first trip to the Colorado Rockies’ ballpark five years ago.

This time, they couldn’t get out of town fast enough.

“I don’t want to see them again, how’s that?” manager Joe Torre said Thursday after the Rockies denied Roger Clemens his 350th win and completed a three-game sweep of the suddenly stumbling Yankees with a 4-3 victory.

The humidor has taken full effect and so has Colorado’s retooled pitching staff since the Yankees’ last visit to the ballpark on Blake Street, where they outscored the Rockies 41-29 in a three-game slugfest in 2002, setting a stadium record for runs scored by an opponent in a three-game series.

This time, the Rockies outscored New York 13-5, prompting their fans to wave brooms as the dejected Bombers swirled into their clubhouse after Thursday’s game.

The Yankees had won 14 of 17 coming into town and never saw this thumping coming even though the Rockies are playing well – a major league-best 20-7 since May 22 and an impressive 9-3 against the AL East.

“It’s something we certainly didn’t expect,” Torre said. “And again, not that we take anybody for granted because that’s not the way you play this game. (But) it’s not the way we’ve been playing over the last few weeks.”

Clemens (1-2) was trying to become the first major leaguer to win 350 games since Warren Spahn did it for Milwaukee on Sept. 29, 1963, when Torre was the Braves’ catcher and Clemens had just celebrated his first birthday.

Orioles 6, Padres 3

San Diego – Moments after a few dozen dollar bills floated down from the stands onto the field, Alberto Castillo hit his first home run in more than two years, leading Erik Bedard and the Orioles over the San Diego Padres 6-3 Thursday.

The Orioles took two of three from the NL West-leading Padres.

Castillo’s solo homer, off David Wells, was literally a money shot. Shortly before his at-bat in the sixth inning, the dollar bills came wafting from high in the seats, with several landing in the outfield and foul territory, and some reaching the Orioles dugout.

Padres spokesman George Stieren said the bills were thrown by a fan in a suite on the third-base side of the downtown ballpark. The fan was ejected.

Dodgers 8, Blue Jays 4

Toronto – Jeff Kent hit a two-run home run, Russell Martin doubled to spark a six-run rally in the eighth inning, and Los Angeles beat Toronto.

The Dodgers trailed 3-2 to begin the eighth before mounting a one-out rally against right-hander Casey Janssen (2-1).

Nomar Garciaparra greeted Janssen with a single before Kent doubled off the top of the right-field wall. Luis Gonzalez was walked intentionally to bring up Martin, who doubled into the right-field corner, scoring Garciaparra and Kent. Olmedo Saenz followed with a bloop single to center, scoring Gonzalez, before Matt Kemp chased Janssen with an RBI double.

Right-hander Jason Frasor replaced Janssen and gave up RBI singles to Tony Abreu and Rafael Furcal before getting Juan Pierre and Garciaparra to line out.

Rangers 6, Cubs 5

Arlington, Texas – Pinch-hitters Kenny Lofton and Frank Catalanotto singled off the gloves of diving Cubs outfielders in the bottom of the ninth inning, producing the winning run in Texas’ victory over Chicago.

Catalanotto hit a one-out liner down the right-field line that Angel Pagan nearly caught, sending Lofton home with the winning run.

Lofton started the rally off Bob Howry (3-4) with a leadoff pinch-hit single, a sinking liner to left that Alfonso Soriano hauled in after a diving attempt but couldn’t hold onto when he hit the ground. Adam Melhuse, who had homered earlier, then had a sacrifice bunt.

Mariners 3, Pirates 0

Seattle – Felix Hernandez allowed six hits in eight innings in his best start since he returned from a forearm injury, and Seattle beat Pittsburgh, shutting the Pirates out for the second straight game.

Ichiro Suzuki had two more hits for the Mariners to extend his hitting streak to 16 games, the longest current one in the majors. He has at least one hit in 41 of his last 43 games.

Hernandez (4-4) struck out nine and walked one, returning to the form he showed before he went on the disabled list in April with a strained forearm. He came off the DL on May 15 and had gone 1-3 with a 5.97 ERA in his previous six starts.
