NEW YORK (AP) — Phil Hughes won consecutive starts for the first time this season, Raul Ibanez homered against his former team for the second day in a row and the Yankees beat former New York prospect Hector Noesi in a 6-2 win over the Seattle Mariners on Saturday.

Jayson Nix hit a two-run shot during a four-run second inning for his first homer with the Yankees, who have won six of eight.

Hughes (3-4) allowed six hits and a run in 7 2-3 innings, with four strikeouts and a walk. The right-hander’s only blemish was a homer he gave up to Mike Carp in the seventh inning.

Boone Logan struck out Justin Smoak and Michael Saunders for his second career save and first since April 2006.

Noesi (2-4) lasted seven innings, allowing five runs and six hits. He struck out four without a walk.

Angels 4, Rangers 2 Kendrys Morales had a pinch-hit, tiebreaking sacrifice fly in the seventh inning to lead the Los Angeles Angels to a 4-2 victory over the Texas Rangers on Saturday.

C.J. Wilson worked into the sixth for the Angels after becoming the first major leaguer in 11 seasons to start consecutive games. He had faced only five batters against his former team in the rain-interrupted series opener.

Mark Trumbo launched a towering two-run homer for the Angels off Matt Harrison (4-3).

Josh Hamilton hit his majors-leading 18th homer — the ninth in six games for the Rangers slugger.

David Carpenter (1-1) faced only two batters after replacing Wilson before the Angels took the lead in the seventh. Ernesto Frieri, acquired from San Diego on May 3, worked 1 2-3 innings before Scott Downs got the final out for his third save.

National League

Brewers 8, Cubs 2: Shaun Marcum pitched seven strong innings and Edwin Maysonet hit his first career grand slam Saturday to lead the Milwaukee Brewers to a 8-2 win over the Chicago Cubs.

It was the second straight win for the Brewers, who beat the Cubs in 13 innings Friday in a 5-hour game that ended just past midnight. Saturday’s start remained at noon because it was a nationally televised game.

Marcum (2-1) gave up just one run on three hits and had six strikeouts. After giving up a run in the first he did not allow a runner past second, retiring 10 of the last 11 he faced.

Chris Volstad (0-5) pitched six innings for the Cubs, giving up six runs on nine hits. It was the 18th straight start that Volstad did not record a victory. His last win was July 17, 2011, for Florida.

Mets 9, Marlins 3: David Wright homered and singled three times in his fourth consecutive multi-hit game Saturday, and R.A. Dickey earned his fifth victory by pitching six innings to help the New York Mets beat the Miami Marlins 9-3.

The Marlins lost for only the second time in their past 11 games, while the Mets have won six of seven.

Wright singled home a run in the first inning, hit his fourth homer in the third, singled and scored in the sixth, and added an RBI single in the ninth.

Dickey (5-1) gave up two runs and has allowed only seven in his past four starts. The knuckleballer earned a painful RBI when he was hit on his pitching hand in the fifth inning with the bases loaded. He received a visit from a trainer but stayed in the game.

Ricky Nolasco (4-1) gave up nine hits, walked three and hit consecutive batters.
