Monday’s results

Athletics 6, Blue Jays 4: At Toronto, Jack Hannahan hit his first major league home run, Joe Blanton remained unbeaten in August and Oakland beat the Jays. Nick Swisher also homered for Oakland, which has won six of eight. Swisher singled twice and went 3 for 4. Blanton allowed one run and six hits over seven innings, walking none and striking out six.

Red Sox 6, Devil Rays 0: At St. Petersburg, Fla., Tim Wakefield continued his dominance over Tampa Bay, allowing four hits over seven innings as Boston blanked the Devil Rays. Wakefield improved to 19-2 – including a 9-0 mark at Tropicana Field – all-time against the Devil Rays. It’s the most wins by any Tampa Bay opponent.

White Sox 4, Royals 3: At Chicago, Bobby Jenks settled for a share of the record when Joey Gathright broke the Chicago closer’s string of 41 straight outs, and then stopped the White Sox’s worst skid in 16 years by saving a victory over Kansas City. Jenks tied Jim Barr’s mark of 41 for San Francisco in 1972 on Sunday.

Angels 7, Yankees 6 (10): At Anaheim, Calif., Ryan Budde doubled in the winning run in the 10th inning and Los Angeles beat New York. Budde hit a 2-0 pitch from Sean Henn (2-1) into right-center to score Howie Kendrick, who had doubled to right with one out.

Rangers vs. Orioles: At Baltimore, the game between the Orioles and Texas was postponed by rain. The teams are scheduled to play a night game today, and Monday’s game will be made up Wednesday as the opener of a doubleheader.
