Blackburn (7-4) gave up two runs -- one earned -- on seven hits with six strikeouts and one walk to snap a two-start skid. Blackburn has just two wins in his last six outings.
Nashville, TN (Sports Network) - The shooting death of former Tennessee Titans and Baltimore Ravens quarterback Steve McNair has been ruled a homicide.
McNair and a female friend were found shot to death Saturday at a Nashville condominium.
Nashville police department public affairs manager Don Aaron spoke at a news briefing Sunday and classified McNair's death, but would not do the same for the other victim, 20-year-old Sahel Kazemi.
Aaron said McNair had multiple gunshot wounds, including two in the head and two in the chest. He added that the gun, a semiautomatic pistol, was found underneath Kazemi.
