Red Sox 9, Yankees 2
Clay Buchholz pitched six innings of two-hit ball to improve to 11-0 and Daniel Nava had four hits to lead Boston to a victory over New York on Sunday night and eliminate the visiting Yankees from the A.L. East race. Boston leads second-place Tampa Bay by 91/2 games with a magic number of four to clinch its second division title since 1995. The Yankees trail the Rays and Texas Rangers by three in the wild-card standings, with Cleveland and Baltimore also ahead of them in the race. The Yankees had won the last two division titles and 13 of the last 17.

Tigers 3, Royals 2
Alex Avila homered twice, including a tiebreaking solo shot in the eighth inning that lifted Detroit over visiting Kansas City.

Avila answered in the bottom half with a homer to right-center. Joaquin Benoit pitched the ninth for his 20th save in 20 chances for the A.L. Central-leading Tigers.

Brewers 6, Reds 5
Sean Halton hit a solo homer with one out in the bottom of the ninth inning to lift Milwaukee to a comeback victory over visiting Cincinnati. It was Halton’s third homer of the season and first career walk-off. Jean Segura sparked a rally with a two-run triple and Carlos Gomez made a game-saving catch for the Brewers, who dealt a big blow to the Reds’ pursuit of the N.L. Central title. Milwaukee entered the eighth trailing 5-2.
