CLEVELAND -- A. .J. Burnett was more concerned about stopping a team streak than extending his own run. He did both as the Pittsburgh Pirates hit four homers to beat the Cleveland Indians 9-2 Saturday. Burnett became the first Pittsburgh pitcher since 1990 to win six straight starts, Pedro Alvarez homered twice and Casey McGehee also went deep and drove in four runs as the Pirates broke a four-game losing streak. "I wanted to stop the bleeding, but this one is not about me," said Burnett, who extended the best stretch by a Pirates pitcher since Doug Drabek won six in a row during his NL Cy Young Award-winning season. "The offence did the job today. The defence, too. I left a lot of guys on base. Guys made plays behind me." The last Pirates pitcher to win six straight decisions was rookie Zach Duke in 2005. He did it over eight starts to open his career 6-0. Burnett had not done well at Progressive Field until handing the Indians their fourth loss in five games. He came in 1-5 with a 6.75 ERA in six previous starts in Cleveland. "He had an easy day of work," Indians manager Manny Acta said. "We didnt even run his pitch count up. He got us the whole day. We couldnt do much." Clevelands Michael Brantley went 0 for 3 with a walk, halting the majors longest hitting streak this season at 22 games. After being shut out for the sixth time on Friday night, the Pirates broke loose for 12 hits and most runs since a 10-4 win over the Chicago Cubs on May 27. "Its not about the homers, but about having better at-bats," manager Clint Hurdle said. "It is what is going on underneath the helmet than the swings." Hurdle liked how McGehee bounced back from being called out on strikes in the first inning and grounding into a double play against Ubaldo Jimenez (6-5) in the third. "Casey was in a rough place early," Hurdle said. "Those things can send you the wrong way. Then he got a hanging breaking ball and banged it into the left-field bleachers." The two-run shot in the sixth made it 4-2. Alvarezz first homer tied it at 1 in the second. He added a two-run shot in the ninth off Nick Hagadone. That came after McGehees two-out, two-run blooper to right made it 7-2. Burnett walked four and gave up six hits, including homers to Asdrubal Cabrera in the first and Casey Kotchman in the fifth. He worked out of two jams. After Cabreras homer made it 1-0, Cleveland put two runners on. Johnny Damon then hit a blooper to short right field, but second baseman Neil Walker made a tumbling, over-the-shoulder catch for the third out. In the sixth, Cleveland loaded the bases on singles by Cabrera and Jason Kipnis along with Damons two-out walk. Burnett got Shelley Duncan to pop out to end that threat. "That was a huge inning for us," Acta said. "We had an opportunity to get back into the game and maybe take the lead." The Pirates got a run on three straight one-out singles off Jimenez in the third. Garrett Jones run-scoring hit made it 2-1 before Jimenez got McGehee to ground into an inning-ending double play. Three innings later, McGehee hit his third homer -- all in his last eight starts. He is hitting .440 (11 of 25) the last two weeks against right-handers. "When you come to a new team, you want to make an impact," said McGehee, who struggled early this year after being acquired from Milwaukee in December. "I took a step back and tried to relax, put up better at bats. I just feel more comfortable." Alex Presley made it 5-2 in the seventh with his fourth homer, off reliever Tony Sipp. It was the fifth homer allowed by Sipp in his last 22 innings. Jimenez gave up seven hits and four runs over six innings. The right-hander had allowed only two earned runs in two previous starts this month after struggling in May, when he had a 6.75 ERA six starts.

The club officially unveiled its new star shortshop on Thursday, however when general manager Alex Anthopoulos first called the Miami Marlins about making a deal, it initially involved pitchers Josh Johnson and Mark Buehrle.SAN DIEGO -- For one night, Miami Marlins manager Ozzie Guillen found someone to close out a win for his team. Mark Buehrle threw a complete-game five-hitter to lead Miami to a 4-1 win over the San Diego Padres on Saturday and its season-high five consecutive win. Earlier in the day, Guillen demoted struggling closer Heath Bell, who has four blown saves this season. Bell is 0-3 with an 11.42 ERA in 11 games. The right-hander has allowed 15 hits in 8 2-3 innings with 10 walks and only six strikeouts. He signed a $27 million, three-year contract in the off-season. With Bell being demoted and the Marlins bullpen short-handed due to recent overuse, Buehrle knew what was expected of him. "The (the bullpen) said last night, Cmon, we need you. But obviously you know the situation," Buehrle said. "Did I think I was going to throw a complete game? No. But go seven, eight innings, I try to do every time even if (the bullpen) is down." Buehrle (2-4) allowed one run and five hits with two walks and three strikeouts in a game that lasted 2 hours, 18 minutes one day after the teams played a 12-inning game that lasted 4:45. "Theres a reason why hes got that kind of money," said San Diegos Orlando Hudson about Buehrles four-year, $58-million free-agent contract. "You dont have to be overpowering to dominate a game. He pitched a great game." Buehrle threw his first complete game since Oct. 2, 2010, with the Chicago White Sox. Buehrle was coming off his shortest start of the season, a five-inning stint in a 9-5 loss against Arizona. "Today was big, huge," Guillen said. "This outing was huge for everyone because it was a day off for everyone." Asked if he had spoken with Buehrle before his start about the importance of going deep in the game, Guillen said: "He knows. I didnt have to." Omar Infante, who doubled in the go-ahead run in Fridays 9-8 win in 12 innings, had two RBIs with a double and a sacrifice fly on Saturday. Giancarlo Stanton hit a solo homer in the ninth and Hanley Ramirez, who came into the game hitting just .198, had three hits. Greg Dobbs pinch-hit single in a two-run eighth inning put the Marlins ahead. The Marliins winning streak, all on the road, comes after they had lost eight of nine.

"Right now, we are winning but we aint going to win 20 in a row, but just got to keep going out there." Jose Reyes led off the eighth inning with a walk and Emilio Bonifacio followed with an infield single. After Dale Thayer replaced Padres starter Clayton Richard, Dobbs singled to centre for a 2-1 lead. Infante then hit a sacrifice fly. Richard (1-4) gave up three runs and nine hits over seven innings. The left-hander struck out seven and walked three. "It was disappointing I wasnt able to come through in the eighth," said Richard, who suffered his fourth straight loss. After two of the NLs lowest-scoring teams combined for 17 runs on 24 hits on Friday night, the clubs reverted to their previous form. Ramirez led off the Marlins fourth with a one-out single, but was thrown out going to third base on Austin Kearns single. Infante followed with a run-scoring double. Chase Headley tied the score in the sixth on an RBI single that scored Jesus Guzman, who doubled. Notes: Buehrle has pitched 28 complete games. ...
