CHICAGO -- The Washington Nationals acquired outfielder Scott Hairston on Monday from the Chicago Cubs for minor league pitcher Ivan Pineyro. Chicago general manager Jed Hoyer said on a conference call there are "players to be named (later) on either side," but they "will not affect the balance of the deal." The Cubs signed Hairston to a two-year deal in the off-season to platoon in right field, but he struggled, batting .172 with eight home runs and 19 RBIs. One of those homers came during Sundays 4-3, 11-inning win over Pittsburgh. He had 20 last season with the New York Mets. Now, hes headed to Washington, the latest move in a busy stretch for Chicago. The Cubs have also traded pitchers Scott Feldman and Carlos Marmol along with catcher Steve Clevenger in the past week, and starter Matt Garza could be on the way out. "Needless to say, hes been a popular name and a guy weve gotten a lot of phone calls on," Hoyer said. "I think hes opened a lot of eyes the way hes thrown the last four, five times out." The Cubs are also still waiting on third baseman Kris Bryant, the No. 2 pick in the draft, to sign. Hoyer remains confident theyll reach an agreement before the July 12 deadline. "Were going to make him an exceptionally fair offer," Hoyer said. "If Kris wants to be a Cub and be a professional baseball player, Im confident that well get a deal done. Sometimes, it takes a deadline to make a deal. We have a deadline coming up shortly. In a lot of ways, I think thats a plus at this point." As for Pineyro, the 21-year-old right-hander has combined to go 6-3 with a 3.24 ERA in 15 starts between Class A Hagerstown and Potomac. "I think this is a good opportunity for Scott and the Nationals to get more playing time, and I think it was a good opportunity for us to acquire a young pitcher that we liked," Hoyer said.

NEW YORK -- The Yankees are finally hitting and pitching well at the same time, and that may keep these batters and hurlers together in New York for at least a little while longer.Michael Pineda didnt allow a run for the first time this season, Mark Teixeira homered in his return from his latest injury, and the Yankees moved two games above .500 for the first time since April with a 5-0 victory over the Baltimore Orioles on Wednesday night.Pineda (4-9) had six strikeouts with runners in scoring position, repeatedly wriggling out of jams to get through six innings and protect the bullpen.New York, which has won the first three of the four-game series, last was two games over .500 on April 12 at 4-2. The Yankees are six games out of first in the AL East and five out of the wild-card spot as management tries to determine whether to unload veterans at the trade deadline.You know with the situation looming that its really important as we move forward -- in a sense, its playoff baseball for us, manager Joe Girardi said.Baltimore lost its fourth straight to fall a half-game behind Boston in the division. Left shorthanded by illness and injury, the Orioles have struggled at the plate, especially with runners in scoring position: They went 1 for 9 Wednesday and are 3 for 33 since the All-Star break.A stomach bug has been ravaging Baltimores clubhouse and claimed two more victims Wednesday: third baseman Manny Machado and manager Buck Showalter. First baseman Chris Davis missed his third straight game.Catcher Matt Wieters was also out with a foot injury. Bench coach John Russell filled in for Showalter.The bottom third of Baltimores lineup, all backups forced into action, went a combined 0 for 9.We are going to have to find different ways to manufacture a little bit, Russell said.Yovani Gallardo (3-2) couldnt keep it close, though he didnt get much help from his defense. He allowed four runs and five hits with five strikeouts and four walks in seven innings.Leading off the bottom of the first, Brett Gardner ripped a line drive to the warning track that right fielder Joey Rickard tracked down, but the ball bounced off the inside of his glove. Center fielder Adaam Jones then bobbled it, and Gardner motored into third for what was ruled a triple.ddddddddddddCarlos Beltran drove him in with a one-out sacrifice fly.The Yankees had not scored a first-inning run in their previous 23 games.Trailing 1-0, the Orioles had the bases loaded with one out in the fourth but Pineda struck out Nolan Reimold and Ryan Flaherty.

He also walked twice, including on four pitches in the sixth with the bases loaded to force in a run and make it 3-0.BELTRANS BASHBeltran, who hit his 20th home run of the season in the eighth off reliever Chaz Roe, started at designated hitter, leaving Alex Rodriguez on the bench.In order for us to make a run we have to be consistent, Beltran said.
