The Spokesman-Review

Indians 9, White Sox 0: At Cleveland, Scott Elarton (3-3 pitched a two-hitter for his first career shutout and Casey Blake hit two of Cleveland’s four homers to lead the Indians over Chicago. Travis Hafner and Ronnie Belliard also connected for Cleveland. Blake drove in four runs.

Red Sox 6, Tigers 1: At Boston, Tim Wakefield allowed three hits in eight innings and the Red Sox won their sixth straight game with a victory over Detroit. Wakefield (11-7) gave up only Nook Logan’s double in the third, Craig Monroe’s 10th homer in the fifth and Logan’s single in the eighth.

Orioles 7, Rangers 6: At Arlington, Texas, Melvin Mora drove in four runs and Baltimore snapped its season-high 12-game losing streak with a victory over Texas. The slide was the Orioles’ longest since dropping the final 12 games of the 2002 season.

Blue Jays 6, Yankees 4: At Toronto, Carlos Delgado homered in Toronto’s five-run seventh inning and the Blue Jays ended a five-game losing skid with a victory over New York after a power outage delayed the start for about an hour. Miguel Batista (10-10) won for the first time since July 23 — a span of seven starts — and allowed two runs and seven hits in seven innings.

Angels 4, Twins 2: At Anaheim, Calif., Adam Kennedy hit a two-run homer in the ninth inning to lead the Angels to a victory over Minnesota. Jose Guillen doubled home the tying run in the sixth for his 100th RBI of the season, and Troy Glaus went 0 for 2 with two walks in his first game back after being sidelined for more than 3 1/2 months with a shoulder injury.

Athletics 9, Devil Rays 6: At Oakland, Calif., Billy McMillon hit a three-run homer in the ninth inning and the Athletics completed a three-game sweep of Tampa Bay.
